The senior punter hit four punts for 198 yards, an average of 49.5 yards per attempt, including a long of 66 yards.
Boone has been a consistent weapon for the Lions, with a big leg that is able to get PSU out of some field position jams. His Illinois performance helped Penn State to win some key battles in this aspect of the game and eventually aided them in a 35-17 victory over the Illini.
This is the first Big Ten POW honor of Boone's career.

Revere senior Stephanie Danesis recently made an oral commitment to continue her academic and tennis career at Miami (Ohio), choosing the RedHawks over Minnesota and Marquette.
"I visited there and I just really love the campus, the coach and the girls," said Danesis, a 5-foot-7 left-hander. "I want to major in business and they have a really good business program, and it is not as far from Akron as Minnestoa or Marquette are."
Danesis is a three-time Division II state qualifier. She won a state championship as a sophomore with her older sister Samantha. Last season Stephanie Danesis was the Division II singles runner-up at state.
Stephanie Danesis will be seeking a singles state title this season in Division I because Revere has moved up from Division II.

I'll get title back, beaten Mundine vows
Page Tools
Manny and The Man: Puerto Rican boxer Manny Siaca steps back after knocking down former WBA champion Anthony Mundine in Sydney on Wednesday.
Anthony Mundine's camp will lodge a protest with the World Boxing Association in a bid to gain an immediate rematch with Manny Siaca.
The deposed champion yesterday declared he was still "The Man" and guaranteed his fans a world title despite dropping what he described as a "razor-sharp" split-points decision to Siaca on Wednesday night in Sydney.
"I'll guarantee this: by the end of the year I will be a two-time world champion," said Mundine, who thought he had done enough to win.
He asked a reporter who questioned him about returning to rugby league if he was serious.
"Footy is out of the question, mate. It would have been different if I'd got knocked down in the first round . . . but I thought I didn't lose," Mundine said.
He admitted he should have adjusted his game plan and fought more aggressively at times and said his corner "probably" miscalculated the state of the fight going into the last round, when he failed to press the issue.
Had Mundine won the last round, he would have retained the title on a majority draw, but the judges gave the 12th to Siaca.
The Puerto Rican offered Mundine a rematch, which Mundine said he definitely wanted, but the WBA's leading Australian official, Derek Milham, warned that the former champion may not get the first challenge.
"I think the chances are a bit slim because he (Siaca) has an obligation to defend against (Denmark's) Mads Larsen within 90 days," Milham said.
Mundine's camp plans to protest because the supervisor of the fight was forced to fill in as a judge in place of Raul Caiz, who was elevated to referee after the original appointee was unable to reach Australia in time.
Mundine's manager, Khoder Nasser, said one of the grounds for protest was he understood the supervisor had never judged a world title bout.
Mundine dismissed the prospect of pursuing domestic arch-rival Danny Green, who holds the rival World Boxing Council interim super-middleweight title.
"He ain't got nothing I want. What's he got, an interim belt, what the hell is that," Mundine said.
Green said Mundine was an embarrassment to Australia.
"That performance shows that Mundine has no part in a boxing ring. He gave it away," Green said yesterday. "He was too afraid to get hit, so was on the back foot all fight. Mundine knows that he can't survive in boxing."

Roughly 450 have been built and not delivered (presumably for revenue) yet or have another purpose (marketing, publicity, whatever).

Short version on this camp's place in history, it was an old fortress built in the 18 century converted in to a Gustapo prison during WW2. Then, the nearby city was turned in to a Jewish Ghetto ... as international interest rose in the Ghettos ... the Nazi's offered a first hand look for reporters so they could see with their own eyes that the Jews were "being treated well." ... Terezin underwent a transformation for the reporters' eyes. A barber shop put up, population limited, pantries and store windows filled with goods ... ... all a front to hide the horrible attrocities going on behind the scenes. ... Sadly, the press bought the false story ... and it took a long time for liberation to occur. ... ...
The fortress turned prison was an amazing structure to me. As our bus passed it on the road I was just struck by its ... strength. Its SOLID. ... Designed well. ... And then, our bus rounded the front side and we saw the large entryway painted black and white, and the large star of David and my heart sunk.
One interesting tidbit is that there is also a huge cross with a crown of thorns hanging on it ... right in the middle of the cemetery. Apparently, Terezin was more a waystation / holding place for Jews ... ... I just read that "90% of the inmates in the Small Fortress during the war were non-Jewish Czech Communists". Auschwitz and other camps where most of the actual murdering was done (although here, in one mass grave were 601 Jewish prisoners ....) ....
A well done blog entry by somebody else here ... on everything we saw today.
For me, the most emotionally striking parts were the entrance, the solitary confinement cells (each of us took a turn in the darkest of dark places with the thick iron door closed), and the execution yard and the path the prisoners took to get to it. ... ... Its amazing the weightiness I felt in the air in the simple grassy area, with a small plant memorial where the prisoners were routinely shot to death ... and the gallows nearby.
Janice made a great point ... ... this craziness took place only two generations ago.
Simon couldn't believe that a deep, well made swimming pool was constructed by the Jewish prisoners for the Nazis and their families just over the walls ... within earshot of their cries.
Bizarre. Difficult. Heavy.
But I'm glad we went and took the kids with us. I'm hoping they soak up some of the information and emotions so that when they see / experience polical issues and war they can do it with a heart for humanity and kindness. ... Ella had a unique way of processing all the emotions today ... at dinner, we went to this fancyish place (for a tiny town in Eastern Europe) ... and this tiny ladybug crawled on the table. Ella played with it for about five minutes and named it "Bo" (for no reason whatsoever really. ... Eventually, she got tired of it and set it down on the floor where it escaped in to the cracks of the wooden deck we were on. Suddenly, Ella erupted in to tears and I asked what was wrong. [dramatic cry & quivering chin & tears streaming down her face] "I miss Bo !!!!" ... "He was my pet and I miss him!!!" .... it was so REAL the sadness she felt. ... Our little Ella can be a total drama queen and pretender for attention, but this was real heartache. ... So sad. ... Bo, you will be missed.
Zonked out and slept HARD on the bus ride home ... ... showers and baths ... and an early bedtime. We've got two days left in the muthaland. .... Or ... NO!!! I just google'd it after wondering since we've been here. ... we are in the FATHERLAND!!!

Acute Coronary Syndrome
Effient® is indicated to reduce the rate of thrombotic cardiovascular (CV) events (including stent thrombosis) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) who are to be managed with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) as follows:
- Patients with unstable angina (UA) or non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).
- Patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) when managed with primary or delayed PCI.
Effient has been shown to reduce the rate of a combined endpoint of cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), or nonfatal stroke compared to clopidogrel. The difference between treatments was driven predominantly by MI, with no difference on strokes and little difference on CV death [see Clinical Studies].
Initiate Effient treatment as a single 60-mg oral loading dose and then continue at 10-mg orally once daily. Patients taking Effient should also take aspirin (75-mg to 325-mg) daily [see DRUG INTERACTIONS and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY]. Effient may be administered with or without food [see CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY and Clinical Studies].
Timing Of Loading Dose
In the clinical trial that established the efficacy and safety of Effient, the loading dose of Effient was not administered until coronary anatomy was established in UA/NSTEMI patients and in STEMI patients presenting more than 12 hours after symptom onset. In STEMI patients presenting within 12 hours of symptom onset, the loading dose of Effient was administered at the time of diagnosis, although most received Effient at the time of PCI [see Clinical Studies]. For the small fraction of patients that required urgent CABG after treatment with Effient, the risk of significant bleeding was substantial.
Although it is generally recommended that antiplatelet therapy be administered promptly in the management of ACS because many cardiovascular events occur within hours of initial presentation, in a trial of 4033 NSTEMI patients, no clear benefit was observed when Effient loading dose was administered prior to diagnostic coronary angiography compared to at the time of PCI; however, risk of bleeding was increased with early administration in patients undergoing PCI or early CABG.
Dosing In Low Weight Patients
Compared to patients weighing ≥ 60 kg, patients weighing < 60 kg have an increased exposure to the active metabolite of prasugrel and an increased risk of bleeding on a 10-mg once daily maintenance dose. Consider lowering the maintenance dose to 5-mg in patients < 60 kg. The effectiveness and safety of the 5-mg dose have not been prospectively studied [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS, ADVERSE REACTIONS, and CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY].
Dosage Forms And Strengths
Effient 5-mg is available as a yellow, elongated hexagonal, film-coated, non-scored tablet debossed with "5121" on one side and 3 parallel arched lines followed by a "5" on the other side.
Effient 10-mg is available as a beige, elongated hexagonal, film-coated, non-scored tablet debossed with "5123" on one side and 3 parallel arched lines followed by a "10" on the other side.
Effient (prasugrel) is available as elongated hexagonal, film-coated, non-scored tablets in the following strengths, colors, imprints, and presentations:

Is Comfort Eating Actually Comforting?
Jul 9, 2014, 9:00 AM, Posted by A. Janet Tomiyama
A. Janet Tomiyama, PhD, an alumna of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Health & Society Scholars program (2009-2011), is assistant professor of psychology and director of the Dieting, Stress, and Health (DiSH) Lab at the University of California, Los Angeles. She was recently named the 2013 recipient of the Early Career Investigator Award from the Society of Behavioral Medicine. Her favorite comfort food: potato chips.
What's your favorite comfort food? Ice cream, pizza, chocolate—everyone's got a preference, whether they're from Los Angeles, London, Sao Paolo, or Tokyo. Stress eating is as universal as eating itself; indeed, even Cervantes in his 1605 classic Don Quixote addressed the practice with the line, "All sorrows are less with bread." Humans seem to reach for food as a way to soothe negative emotions, and that food is often high-fat, high-sugar, and high-calorie. That's why comfort eating is often blamed as one reason stress is bad for health—because stress causes us to find comfort in a dozen cookies.
If you're like me, you'll be surprised but delighted to know it's not just humans that engage in comfort eating! Eating high-fat, sugary foods in response to stress is a behavior that we see in non-human species like rodents and primates. Under chronic stress conditions, for example, rats will shift their food intake away from standard food pellets to the rodent version of "comfort food" (researchers often use Crisco mixed with sugar).
Even more amazing: it works. These comfort-eating rats showed dampened biological stress reactivity in a stress system called the Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) axis. Sustained over-activity of the HPA axis is associated with poor health, and these studies suggest that comfort eating is playing an important role in managing an organism's stress levels.
The implications of this are enormous. If comfort eating functions in the same way in humans (the human literature is in its infancy, but my research and that of others offers preliminary evidence that comfort eating is associated with dampened HPA activity), then we need to substantially shift the way we think about stress eating.
Stress eating is currently treated like a villain, a negative health behavior that we should intervene to eradicate at all costs. The science of comfort eating, however, indicates that we may be engaging in this behavior for very good reasons, and that eating that brownie might mitigate the negative health effects of stress hormones—which may be even more harmful in the long-term than a few extra calories.
The upshot of all of this is that we might need to be more nuanced when designing interventions to combat negative health effects of stress. It appears we are evolutionarily wired to use food as a comfort strategy, so our current practice of telling people to stop stress eating might be an uphill battle. Perhaps we can exploit the power of comfort food to help ameliorate in-the-moment stress, and somehow do so without damaging long-term metabolic health. Science has yet to tell us what foods are most effective at comforting, so the door is potentially open for healthy foods to comfort us.
The ultimate goal in our pursuit of a Culture of Health should be sustainable health behavior change, and harnessing the power of comfort eating as a stress-reduction strategy could be a promising—and delicious—strategy.

Yes, this is a comfortable and clean room. The place is difficult to find, however, and you would be advised to arrive when the light is good.
Once past the stairway, the place is clean room, compact room. If you are a good sleeper then this is perfect if you are on a budget. Well equipped for the price though and I would stay again.
It was a very cosy small room but it was all that we needed! The bed was very very comfy we slept like roses :)
The toilet didn't flush immediately but it was ok no bad odours or anything.. The bathroom/kitchen/hallway/room were clean! The room was above a curry restaurant but no bad odours at all! The location was perfect nearby the underground and busstops, but we like long walks and in the neighbourhood was a lot to discover too! I would definitly recommend this to young couples as ourselves or when you don't grand luxe cause you are out discovering London!
That's my 3rd time in Marcos flat (widegate Street), I would like to put 5 stars, but I can't the 2 last times I've been here I stayed on the 2nd floor, this time I had a room at the top floor and was...... nothing special! some problems with the heater (solved immediatly by Marcos) and the walls were really bad, I could listen everything from the other rooms. But believe me...... there is not a better location than here and Marcos is really helpful!!! I'll come here again in the future....but at the 2nd floor!
Marcos and its staff very helpful, rooms basic but clean and warm. Good location 5 minutes from the metro station
Marcos e i sui collaboratori molto disponibili , camera spartana ma pulita e calda . Buona posizione a 5 minuti dalla fermata metro
Great location, you can enjoy major London attractions without using bus or tube. Easy check-in and check-out. The room and whole appartment is well equipped - in the kitchen there is all you might need during your stay. In the flat there are a few rooms that are rented, so you share the bathroom and kitchen. Those common parts are frequently cleaned so all is very neat. The room itself is nice and cosy. Liverpool Street Station within 1 minute walk, numerous restaurants and pubs just nextdoor. Highly recommended!
Apartment near the center, however, to find advice navigator, he very courteous and I understand why ... it is not an attic but rather ... a ground floor bathroom with a loft full of mold ... dirty sheets .... € 50 per room for three rooms in an apartment of 35 square meters ... sorry but it's not for the money but the agent must understand that accommodates people and that € 50 per night becomes too .... do vobis ... . doubt of past reviews goodbye ...
Appartamento vicino al centro però per trovarlo consiglio navigatore,Lui molto cortese e ho capito il motivo...non è un attico ma bensì un pian terreno...un bagno con soffitta piena di muffa...lenzuola sporche....€50 a camera per tre stanze in un appartamento di 35 metri quadri...scusatemi ma non è per i soldi ma l'agente deve capire che ospita persone e che anche €50 a notte diventano eccessive....fate vobis....dubito delle passate recensioni...arrivederci
apartment very well located, 3 minutes walk from Liverpool Street Station (London city, zone 1). Lively, you can return later without feeling insecure. Welcome to the very friendly reception 24h/24.
Bathroom with toilet shared with other tenants.

Atrovent HFA
Atrovent® HFA
(ipratropium bromide HFA) Inhalation Aerosol
Read the Instructions for Use before using your ATROVENT HFA and each time you get a refill. There may be new information. This leaflet does not take the place of talking with your healthcare provider about your medical condition or your treatment.
Use ATROVENT HFA exactly as your healthcare provider tells you to. Do not change your dose or how often you use ATROVENT HFA without talking with your healthcare provider.
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take. ATROVENT HFA may affect the way some other medicines work and some other medicines may affect the way ATROVENT HFA works.
Important information about using ATROVENT HFA
- You do not have to shake ATROVENT HFA before using it.
- ATROVENT HFA should be "primed" 2 times
before you use the first dose of a new ATROVENT HFA inhaler or when the inhaler
has not been used for more than 3 days.
- To prime, push the canister against the mouthpiece (See Figure 1), allowing the medicine to spray into the air.
- Do not spray the medicine into your eyes while priming ATROVENT HFA.
Inhaler Description
ATROVENT HFA Inhalation Aerosol (Figure 1) consists of a metal canister containing the medicine and a mouthpiece that releases the medicine from the canister. The mouthpiece includes a clear colorless sleeve, a white plastic portion and a green protective dust cap.
The inhaler comes with a dose indicator you can see through a small window on the plastic mouthpiece (See Figure 1). A new inhaler first shows "200" in the dose indicator window. The dose indicator will show the approximate number of actuations (sprays) of medicine remaining in the inhaler. As you use the inhaler, the dose indicator will typically rotate during every 5 to 7 actuations (sprays) towards the next decreasing number (See Figure 2).
Figure 1
Figure 2
Instructions for Use:
1. Insert the metal canister into the clear end of the mouthpiece (See Figure 1). Make sure the canister is fully and firmly inserted into the mouthpiece.
- The ATROVENT HFA canister is to be used only with the ATROVENT HFA mouthpiece.
- Do not use the ATROVENT HFA mouthpiece with other inhaled medicines.
2. Remove the green protective dust cap. If the cap is not on the mouthpiece, make sure there is nothing in the mouthpiece before use. For best results, the canister should be at room temperature before use.
3. Breathe out (exhale) deeply through your mouth. Hold the inhaler upright (See Figure 3), between your thumb and first 2 fingers. Put the mouthpiece in your mouth and close your lips. 1. Insert the metal canister into the clear end of the mouthpiece (See Figure 1).
- Keep your eyes closed so that no medicine will be sprayed into your eyes. If sprayed into the eyes, ATROVENT HFA can cause blurry vision and other vision abnormalities, eye pain or discomfort, dilated pupils, or narrow-angle glaucoma or worsening of this condition. If any combination of these symptoms develops, you should consult your physician immediately.
Figure 3
4. Breathe in (inhale) slowly through your mouth and at the same time spray the ATROVENT HFA into your mouth.
- To spray ATROVENT HFA firmly press the canister against the mouthpiece 1 time (See Figure 4). Keep breathing in deeply.
Figure 4
5. Hold your breath for ten seconds and then take the mouthpiece out of your mouth and breathe out slowly (See Figure 5).
Figure 5
6. Wait at least 15 seconds and repeat steps 3 to 5 again.
7. Replace the green protective dust cap after use.
8. Keep the mouthpiece clean. At least once a week, wash the mouthpiece, shake it to remove excess water and let it air dry all the way (see Mouthpiece Cleaning Instructions).
Mouthpiece Cleaning Instructions:
Step A. Remove and set aside the canister and dust cap from the mouthpiece (See Figure 1).
Step B. Wash the mouthpiece through the top and bottom with warm running water for at least 30 seconds (See Figure 6). Do not use anything other than water to wash the mouthpiece.
Figure 6
Step C. Dry the mouthpiece by shaking off the excess water and allow it to air dry all the way.
Step D. When the mouthpiece is dry, replace the canister. Make sure the canister is fully and firmly inserted into the mouthpiece.
Step E. Replace the green protective dust cap. If little or no medicine comes out of the mouthpiece, wash the mouthpiece as described in Steps A to E under the "Mouthpiece Cleaning Instructions".
9. When to get a new ATROVENT HFA inhaler.
There are approximately 40 actuations (sprays) left when the dose indicator displays "40," where the background changes from green to red (See Figure 7a). This is when you need to refill your prescription or ask your doctor if you need another prescription for ATROVENT HFA inhalation aerosol.
The background color will be all red when the indicator approaches 20. The indicator will stop moving at "0". Discard the inhaler once the dose indicator displays "0" (See Figure 7b). Even though the canister may not be empty, you cannot be sure of the amount of medicine in each actuation (spray) once the dose indicator displays "0".
Figure 7a
Figure 7b
This product does not contain any chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) propellants.
The contents of ATROVENT HFA are under pressure. Do not puncture the canister. Do not use or store near heat or open flame. Exposure to temperatures above 120°F may cause bursting. Never throw the container into a fire or incinerator. Keep ATROVENT HFA and all medicines out of the reach of children.

Fall 2012 New Student Enrollment and Retention OutcomesComparative benchmarks for four-year and two-year institutions
Download this report (below) to examine the one-year changes between fall 2012 and fall 2011 in new student enrollment and retention in higher education at the undergraduate level. The report is based on a national, Web-based poll Noel-Levitz conducted of college and university admissions officials in October of 2012. In addition to collecting official census data for fall 2012, the poll collected fall 2011 census data and fall 2012 institutional goals for comparison and context.
Among the highlights:
- At four-year private institutions, fall 2012 enrollments of FTIC (first-time-in-college) students held steady at the median, while four-year public institutions saw a slight decline in FTIC enrollees of less than one percent at the median.
- Two-year public institutions experienced a drop in FTIC students of 5.7 percent at the median, but—unlike the four-year institutions—saw a gain of 4.7 percent at the median in new transfer students.
- Half to two-thirds of four-year institutions, private and public, reported setting more aggressive enrollment and retention goals for fall 2012 compared to a year earlier.

Solver chair
Tom Evans, Morgan Evans and Nick Cook
Newcastle breeds another young, successful rock trio - and Musicoz winners Solver have more than a little in common with their hometown heroes, Silverchair.
The three-piece rock band have already won a swag of awards and supported huge international acts, before releasing a single disc.
It has been a frantic couple of months for 21-year-old guitarist and singer Morgan Evans, drummer Cookie (Nicholas Cook, 21), and Morgan's 19-year-old brother Tom on bass.
It started with an upsurge of hits on their MySpace site, followed by their first East Coast tour and culminated in winning artist of the year at the Musicoz awards for unsigned acts.
"Cookie had entered us [in Musicoz] earlier in the year without the rest of us even knowing," Morgan Evans says. "Then in the weeks before, we get these messages saying we're [in the] top 10 and top five and then we're being asked to play [at the awards]."
Solver are no stranger to winning music competitions. As a schoolboy band called Extortion, they won the NSW high school band competition Youthrock in 2002, which a few moons earlier was taken out by - you guessed it - Silverchair.
Like the 'Chair, who called themselves Innocent Criminals before their big break, Solver grew tired of people mistaking them for a metal band when their sound was somewhere closer to the commercially sanitised territory of Unwritten Law or Foo Fighters.
"We've mellowed a bit now," Evans says.
"We were sick of venues asking if we were about to scream at their patrons."
To take advantage of their popularity, Solver have released an EP, Insurgency, comprising recordings from the past four years, assembled mostly by Silverchair producer Phil McKellar.
"In the last month or so we have had 30,000 song plays of these tracks on our MySpace page," Evans says. "We needed something people could take home."
The band has also put together a few runs up and down the East Coast, including a schoolies week gig at Surfers Paradise.
"Tom was only a schoolie himself last year so it was pretty cool for him to be there rocking out on stage," Evans says. "He copped his first bra [being thrown at him], which was a big highlight for him."
Evans admits the band gets compared to Silverchair a lot, but it's not necessarily a leg-up in the industry.
"I don't think [it] helps us," he says. "What Silverchair does, for us, is just inspire. We're still going to their shows."

A local girl has helped raise 'lots of dough' for the MS Society by hosting a successful Cake Break.
The MS Society challenged supporters throughout the UK to host a Cake Break to help raise £350,000 for MS research.
Claire Robinson, from Muckamore, rose to the challenge by turning her kitchen into Antrim's very own cupcake factory raising almost £2500.
Along with her mum Linda McBride and friends Gillian Milligan and Helen Brown, Claire baked hundreds of cupcakes throughout April in return for donations from friends, family members, neighbours and colleagues.
The trio completed their cupcake marathon with a Cake Break – a fundraising coffee morning – on April 30 to mark Multiple Sclerosis Week 2014.
Claire said: "We're really enjoyed hosting the Cake Break. It was great fun and I'd like to thank everyone for their generosity. We did this because it's a cause very close to our family's heart.
"We really hope that some day there will be a cure for MS and we're just delighted to play our part in supporting MS research."
Samantha Creighton, Community Fundraiser, MS Society added: "Congratulations to Claire, Gillian and Helen on their amazing Cake Break.
"We're so grateful to have such wonderful supporters who help us to fund potentially life changing MS research. With their support, we will beat MS."
Four thousand people live with multiple sclerosis in Northern Ireland – one of the highest rates in the world.
No one knows the exact cause of MS but it is believed to be a mixture of genetic and environmental factors. MS attacks at random and many of the symptoms are invisible to others.
Most people are diagnosed in their 20s or 30s and it affects almost three times as many women as men.
The MS Society is a national charity fighting to improve treatment and care to help people with MS take control of their lives.

A former history teacher, Fred O'Neill has a penchant for artifacts. So it's no surprise that his interest was piqued when a 150-year-old tombstone turned up in the woods near his home.
"A kid told me he thought someone was buried there, so I checked it out," O'Neill said as he hiked to the site.
"It turned out it was just the gravestone that had been buried in the ground," he said. "But it belonged to a girl who had died in 1860."

text: Posted Tuesday, Nov. 06, 2012 By Carlos Mendez firstname.lastname@example.com The Philadelphia Eagles had been getting shaky play from their offensive line even before this week, when they sank to 3-5 with a loss to the New Orleans Saints on Monday night. Now the problem is worse. Right tackle Todd Herremans left the game with an ankle injury, becoming the third offensive lineman lost to injury this year by the Eagles. They lost center Jason Kelce in the second game with an ACL injury, and right guard Danny Watkins also suffered an ankle injury two weeks ago. The Eagles didn't have much depth to fall back on, either. They traded Winston Justice to Indianapolis in the off-season.

When he woke up, he was still sitting in the chair. The phone was in his hand, the woman
still talking about her purse snatching. For some reason, this felt normal, as if nothing had really
changed or happened. But it had. He remembered. They'd probably never find the guy's body,
but that didn't matter either. Justice was served. And now he had a chance to pick up where he'd
left off a long time ago.
"Yes, ma'am. I don't know that we can do anything, but I'll sure give it a try. What's your
address again?"
He jotted the information quickly, then dropped the pencil back in the cup.
"All right, Ms. Martin. I'll be right there. We'll do our best. I'm on my way right now."
He hung up the phone, picked up his coat, and left to help another who needed him. He
made a promise. He wouldn't rush his time. He'd make her proud.
After all, he'd solved a murder in the Akashic Gateway to Heaven.

An Act of Faith
All I can remember is being here. That is all I know and all I can ever hope to know. It
was as if a birthing had happened and I became aware of here. This room, this chamber, the
sparse setting of it. The dark, dank walks of stone are lit with torches that have never gone out,
thus making it impossible to know the passing of time. Would that one had gone out, had
flickered—even briefly—or had shown some sign of exhausting its fuel. But nothing of the sort.
I was free to walk about the large room. Nothing hindered me from the table with its
devices laid out to be used—the tongs, the awl, the forceps, the thumbscrews. The knives were
laid out, each to a purpose—this one to remove a digit, that one to remove a limb. This piece to
bridle the offending mouth of the enchanter. That piece to effectively break bones but not the
skin. The pear to forcibly open vagina, anus, or throat. There; there was the fireplace creating the
heat that filled the room and made the walls sweat. There were at least three rods banking nicely,
more than enough to raise the welts, singe the flesh.
I know this room well, you see. It was the interrogation room of the dungeon; it was the
play ground of Tomás de Torquemada, Inquisitor General and the beloved of King and Queen. It
was the place I last saw him, my father. It was the last place I saw anything at all, you see; the
last place before my body became consumed with the ague that took my life. But why should I
be here? Why this place? What had it to do with me? It was for the punishing of the wicked, the
godless . . . and others.

That just about sums up how we feel around our house about homegrown tomatoes! We can't get enough of them…our favorite slicers, cherry tomatoes, Romas…you name it, we love them! We grow so many that on some summer days it feels like they are everywhere…dangling from plants, covering counter space! We eat as many as we can…we share with friends and family…and we've even been known to take a wagon full down to our neighborhood swim meet
We are lucky gardeners here in central Texas…we can plant tomatoes in the spring for summer eating and again in late summer for fall eating. The fall tomatoes are not quite as divinely delicious as summer tomatoes…but they are still better than any you will find in the produce section of your grocery store! Summer tomatoes need to be planted in the early spring. We plant our transplants the first week of March. You have to get them in the ground and matured enough to fruit before it gets too hot. If it gets too hot…over 90 degrees or so, they won't fruit. We've got some hot weather here in central Texas…and it gets hot fast. So, it's important to get them in the ground early…but, of course not so early that you risk a late frost/freeze hitting them.
Our favorite varieties…and the ones we've had the most luck in growing are:
Slicers – Celebrity and Better Boy
Cherry Tomatoes – Sun Gold or Sweet 100
Roma Style – San Marzano
One of our favorite tomato recipes is a homemade pasta sauce…it's simple, wholesome, and delicious! We serve it over our favorite pasta with warm crusty bread on the side and a fresh garden salad. We think the key to getting such a great tasting sauce is by using fresh homegrown ingredients. But, keep in mind, if you don't have the means or the time to do your own gardening….you can find amazingly delicious organic tomatoes and other veggies at your local farmer's market! Check it out and visit it often…support your local gardeners!
In this recipe we used these fresh Roma ~ San Marzano tomatoes…just looking at the photo makes my mouth water! Another batch of this sauce might be in our near future
|Homemade Pasta Sauce
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium garden fresh sweet onion (our favorite is Yellow Granex) ~ chopped
- 4.5 to 5lbs garden fresh Roma style (such as San Marzano) tomatoes ~ chopped
- 2 Tbl. fresh oregano ~ chopped
- 2 tsp sugar
- sea salt ~ to taste
- In a large saute pan, saute the chopped onion in olive oil over medium heat until soft and translucent
- Add chopped tomatoes, fresh oregano, sugar, and salt
- Simmer on medium-low heat for 45 to 60 minutes or until desired thickness, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking
- About 30 minutes into cooking, taste and add additional salt if needed.

Hip-hop help sees Moscato sales soar in US
Sales of Moscato are soaring in the US as hip-hop artists continue to name-check the low alcohol sweet wine in their songs.
Breaking out of its after-dinner niche, US Moscato sales grew more than 80% for the 52 weeks ending 12 November, according to Nielsen.
"The last thing I can remember that shot out of the cork like that was Pinot Noir after the film Sideways," said Danny Brager, vice president of Nielsen's beverage and alcohol division.
"But the pop-culture inspired growth in Pinot Noir has been eclipsed by the rise of Moscato," Brager added.
A year-on-year comparison shows sales of Moscato in America topping US$300 million for 2011, more than triple what they were for 2009.
With an average price of less than US$10 per bottle, the variety now accounts for around 3% of total table wine sales in the US, up from 1% in 2009.
Moscato's recent sales success among urban drinkers has been boosted by plugs in R&B and hip-hop songs by the likes of Kanye West (pictured), Ne-Yo, Lil' Kim and Ab-Soul.
West was one of the first to elevate Moscato's profile, serving Saracco Moscato d'Asti at a party in 2005 and mentioning the wine in a remix of the song Make Her Feel Good.
"Moscato is definitely coming on strong, especially in the urban market," said New York-based wine consultant Lisa Carley.
"The rise of Moscato and sweet red wines seems to indicate that Americans are getting more comfortable with wine in general. Because of that, they are drinking what they like as opposed to what they 'should' drink," Carley added.
The rising popularity of Moscato from entry-level brands like Sutter Home, Gallo and Yellowtail is leading to increased plantings of Muscat in California, Chile, Argentina, France and Spain.
"Moscato is a good gateway wine for people that don't typically drink wine. It's sweet and it's not intimidating," said Megan Metcalf, editor of US trade publication Wine & Spirits Daily, adding, "People who would have drunk White Zinfandel are now drinking Moscato."

Basic Facts About Grasslands
Grasslands are areas dominated by grasses and forbs, and have few or no trees. Grazing and roaming animals occur in abundance. They occupy about one quarter of the Earth's land area.
© Midori Layzell
Legal Status/Protection
Less than 8 percent of all grasslands worldwide are protected. The lowest protection of any biome on earth is temperate grasslands, at less than 1 percent. This includes North America's Great Plains.
Types of Habitat
Grasslands are divided into two main types: temperate grasslands and tropical grasslands, commonly called savannas.
More on Grasslands: Temperate Grasslands »
Fast Facts
Grasslands are considered the transitional biome. This means that they are usually found between deserts and forests.

Radio Live host John Tamihere has defended the innocence of his brother, soon-to-be-released convicted double murderer David Tamihere.
He told the audience of his afternoon radio show that a retrial should have been ordered in the case when the body of Swedish backpacker Urban Hoglin was discovered in 1991.
"He's a brother - flesh and blood. You can't resolve on that. You can't walk away.
"He has maintained his innocence all the way through this. I support him as my brother," he said.
The parole board has ordered for Tamihere to be released on November 15 after nearly 21 years behind bars.
He was convicted of murdering Mr Hoglin and fellow backpacker Heidi Paakkonen in 1990.
Mr Hoglin's body was found in the Coromandel by pig hunters in 1991, but Ms Paakkonen was never found.
Tamihere has always maintained his innocence, despite the parole board repeatedly telling him his sentence could be reduced if he admitted guilt and revealed the location of Ms Paakkonen's body.
That assertion is enough for his brother.
"I've got a responsibility, a duty, an obligation to my family.
"There was a lot of counter evidence to the police line."
But he could not explain why he and his other seven brothers had not gone down the same path as David, who was on the run from police for a sexual assault when the tourists were murdered.
"What you won't know is I've got another brother who has spent 18 years in [Auckland Prison at] Paremoremo - he's a prison warden.
"We all got brought up in the same household. We all had the same mum and the same dad and same educational breaks."
He experienced his own share of suffering in the 21-year ordeal, including having job offers pulled, he said.
"I was seen as damaged goods. Not many people have to run the public face for their brother."
Ms Paakkonen's brother Stefan has told the Herald his family still grieves for his sister.
They still wanted David Tamihere to reveal the location of her body, so they could get some closure, he said.
Key witness in the case against Tamihere, Mel Knauf, has echoed that plea.
He was one of the last people to see Ms Paakkonen alive and said the discovery of her body would ease the suffering of many people, himself included.

Quebec already using material in treatment of leachate
A Goderich engineer's vision for old tires could gain traction as Ontario's tire industry powers up its recycling efforts this fall.
Bibek Mondal, a project manager in environmental engineering with B. M. Ross and Associates Ltd., says tire-derived aggregate could be used to treat clear leachate before it is released from landfill sites.
Mondal says landfill sites in Ontario, do a good job in collecting leachate. But once collected, "it's being discharged into the (sanitary) sewer system" without pretreatment. And that means greater chances of organic materials, ammonia, nitrates and nitrites leaking into a sewer system.
(Leachate at landfills is normally partially treated through a sedimentation process to remove solids before it is released).
While pretreating clear leachate before it enters a sewer system is not mandatory or even recommended in Ontario, Mondal predicts such stricter controls could eventually come into effect as interest in protecting water resources grows.
"If we can go for this kind of treatment as a pretreatment before you are getting into the sewer system, it can help definitely to get rid of the toxicity."
Rubber chips and crumbs can be cheaper than most aggregates, he says. The tire's properties make it a strong candidate for leachate treatment methods such as trickle filters.
Compared to aggregates of a similar size, tire-derived aggregate has a greater surface area to house the biological materials involved in the aerobic cleaning process. The aggregate also has greater permeability and the ability to be compressed.
With periodic cleaning, the material could be used effectively for from six to nine months. He says the tire's carbon which is an inorganic component, either gets stuck on the tire surface or goes down through trickled water, and could be removed through secondary clarification process. With the carbon removed, the tires could be taken to a landfill or processed for yet another use. Either way, a tire won't pollute "the same way it pollutes now."
Mondal says the idea is being put to practice in Quebec landfills where it's used at an earlier stage of leachate treatment. In other parts of North America, wood chips have been used in small-scale industry to pre-treat clear leachate before it enters sewer systems, although he says that material is costlier.
Mondal researched the concept and designed a system while doing post-graduate studies at Ryerson University in Toronto. The university is continuing to study what size of crumb provides the optimum performance for a trickling filter. He says the idea is derived from U.S. research that explored using the material in a filtering process for sludge.
He estimates that adding such filters to small-scale landfills would use one to five tonnes of used tires.
Glenn Maidment, president of the Rubber Association of Canada and chairman of the Ontario Tire Stewardship program, says using tire-derived aggregate is capturing the interest of other provinces, such as Alberta, Manitoba, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
The aggregate was used in a recent highway project in New Brunswick. "They used about 1.6 million tires, if I'm not mistaken, because they needed a lightweight fill and it was also going up against an embankment," he says.
The material was chosen because it offered good drainage and didn't create the same type of pressure against a retaining wall that sand or soil might. Tire shred's lack of weight and ability to be compacted are other handy attributes, he adds.
Maidment says the Ontario Tire Stewardship program, which takes effect in September, may provide incentive for using tire-derived aggregate in Ontario for uses such as that which Mondal proposes. Ontario Tire Stewardship, a not-for-profit industry organization.
Under the program, processors will no longer be able to charge tip fees for tires at their gates. Instead, the program will offer a financial incentive of about $55 per tonne for processing tires into new products.
Ontario residents annually discard about 12 million tires.
"Our (the program's) mandate and vision is we will manage all of the scrap tires here in the province," says Maidment.

SkyCity Entertainment Group has begun its A$350 million ($370 million) Adelaide redevelopment, reshaping and refurbishing areas in the historic railway station it leases.
Well before the new 11-level 25,000sq m hotel and expanded casino rise on an adjoining site by the Festival Centre in front of the Torrens River, parts of the existing Adelaide Casino are partitioned off for the upgrades.
That A$45 million job will create more of a statement main entranceway off North Terrace, strip out and refit the only existing top restaurant, North, create new premium gaming areas and new membership areas and upgrade equipment and technology.
Those changes are being carried out on the ground and first levels of the four floors SkyCity leases from the South Australian Government.
But later this year contractors yet to be appointed are due to begin work on a vast new building in a job second only to SkyCity's $402 million Auckland convention centre.
A glass-walled addition will rise about 5m in front of the railway building, connected via air bridges and bringing much bigger gaming areas and a hotel, all designed to cater for up to 50,000 people, expanding towards the Dunstan Playhouse which fronts the Torrens River.
But first, the renovation.
"We've already started work to create a more homogenous gaming room," said business development and investor relations general manager Aaron Morrison, standing on the 1800s historic railway station.
"We hope to open the first new premium gaming areas by the end of February," Morrison said of the new Platinum and Pearl gaming areas.
"For the next 12 months, we'll be doing things to this building," he said, predicting Adelaide presented SkyCity with big scope for expansion.
"This is by far the greatest opportunity for the group. It's taken a while for people to appreciate the value that can be created here. The A$350 million is the biggest private-sector investment in Adelaide."
Projects worth A$4 billion were being developed within a 1.5km radius of the casino, of which A$535 million was being spent on the Adelaide Oval on the river, he said.
"This will be the arts, sports and entertainment heart of Adelaide."
McConnell Dowell has almost finished the new 255m long, 8m wide A$40 million walking Riverbank Bridge linking the railway station, casino and Festival Centre to the Adelaide Oval. Morrison said that was a key part of the transformation.
The A$350 million Adelaide Casino project was designed by the Buchan Group under principal David Cole, working with Bates Smart Architects.
"I've grabbed a lot of the old crew out of Melbourne," Morrison said of his previous Crown Casino development in Victoria.
In Adelaide, the existing North restaurant would soon be converted into an eatery more akin to Auckland's The Grill or Depot on Federal St, "catering for a diverse range of customers, more edgy, fast-paced".
The new 100-room six-star hotel to be built in the glass-front development would have about 100 rooms and SkyCity would manage and operate it, Morrison said.
"This is for the purposes of attracting and accommodating interstate and international customers."
But carparking is an issue yet to be resolved. Morrison said there was an opportunity to create a civic square with 1500 carparks beneath that but Sydney developer Lang Walker had the rights to that.
"We don't offer any carparking," Morrison said regretfully.
SkyCity chief executive Nigel Morrison said the upgrade would result in the casino and hotel becoming the jewel in the crown of Adelaide's Riverbank Precinct.
Not everyone is delighted. At the neighbouring Dunstan Playhouse, a ticket seller expressed her concerns.
"We don't need a big thing like that. It just makes the gambling problem worse. There's not enough people to fill the existing casino. It's half empty all the time, so where will the people come from?" she asked.
Jeremy Simpson of Forsyth Barr flagged parking problems in a December 18 analysis after he visited Adelaide and Darwin.
"Carparking still remains a key challenge and also an opportunity given resolving the situation will go a long way to winning market share," Simpson said.
"It should be resolvable as SkyCity continues to negotiate with the third-party contractor looking to build the underground car park adjacent to the casino and the government is very keen for more parking in the area, given the other developments in the precinct," he said. "What will be crucial is how many parks SkyCity has access to at key times."
• Anne Gibson paid her own way to Adelaide on annual leave.
