Rovers took more points off a team chasing the title as fortress Ewood was in full effect once again.
Following on from their 1-1 draw against Chelsea last month, Sam Allardyce's side put a dent in another club as Manchester United struggled to find a way past a determined home side who restricted the visitors to very little in a goalless encounter.
Chris Samba forced the first save of the game when his downward header was saved by Edwin van der Sar as early as the 8th minute.
But the only other chance of note came just before the break when Dimitar Berbatov played Antonio Valencia through on goal, but he couldn't find a way past Paul Robinson who spread himself to make a fantastic save.
Whilst the visitors enjoyed plenty of possession, a resolute Rovers kept them at bay, reducing United to half chances and long range efforts.
Rovers rallied late on but shots from El-Hadji Diouf and Steven Nzonzi saw their efforts blocked.
With Arsenal to come to Ewood next month, Rovers could play an increasingly key role in who wins the Barclays Premier League.
Ahead of the game Sam Allardyce has made three changes from the side that drew a blank against Portsmouth last time out.
Back into the starting eleven came Vince Grella, Brett Emerton and Nikola Kalinić, with David Dunn, El-Hadji Diouf and Jason Roberts dropping to the bench.
The visitors made six changes from the side that were knocked out of the Champions League by Bayern Munich in midweek.
Rovers started brightly and threatened United's goal early on. Paul Robinson thrust an 8th minute free-kick into the area, Grella picked out Chris Samba but his downward header was saved by van der Sar.
With the visitors without Wayne Rooney they lacked any thrust up front and it wasn't until the 25th minute that they threatened the Rovers box. Macheda playing in Valencia down the right, but he chose to shoot from a tight angle which Robinson kept out.
The home side were dealt a blow when Chris Samba had to be substituted with a groin strain, but the fit again Ryan Nelsen was certainly more than able to replace.
Just before the break Paul Robinson made a vital save to keep the scoreline goalless at half-time, racing off his line to spread himself to block a shot from Valencia.
A slight hamstring injury saw Brett Emerton being replaced by David Dunn as the second half got underway, but that reshuffle didn't affect the collective.
With Steven Nzonzi and Vince Grella affording very little space to the United's forward line, the flanks were United's only route to goal, but Nani and Valencia were thwarted time after time by the impressive Gael Givet and Michel Salgado.
On the odd occasion that Manchester United did break through, they found the imperious double act of Phil Jones and Ryan Nelsen to ensure that Paul Robinson was rarely tested.
Yes the visitors enjoyed a lot of the ball, but aside from the odd long-range effort and some scrambles in the area, there was to be no way through.
At the death it could have been Rovers to snatch the points when El-Hadji DIouf and Steven Nzonzi both saw great chances blocked, but Sam Allardyce will have been delighted with another clean sheet and another important point.

Katie Wilson's Avenger
You think nobody saw you,
When you took sweet Katie home.
You think she lies beside you,
And you two are all alone.
You forget, my friend, the night has eyes--
Those eyes belong to me.
And I have hands, and fingers too,
And soon enough you'll see.
When Katie Wilson starts to rot,
Your window will unlatch,
The putrid smell will slowly fade,
But there will be a catch.
As the breeze flows in, so too will I,
As silent as a breath,
My bone-white fingers 'round your throat
Will drag you to your death.
So Katie Wilson, rest in peace,
Await our final tryst,
The man who tore your life away,
Has a date with deadly.... mist.

James Henry hit an injury-time winner to send Colchester United sliding to their first defeat in 10 games - and The Lions into the Play-Off places for the first time this season.In a pulsating encounter, Kenny Jackett's side looked to be heading for their first home loss of the season after Anthony Wordsworth's 18th-minute free-kick spun off the unfortunate Marc Laird and crept into the back of the net.Alan Dunne levelled the scores on 66 minutes with a stunning 25-yard drive and the stage was set for sub Henry, a 60th-minute replacement for Chris Hackett, to fire home a last-gasp clincher.Lions boss Jackett had the luxury of naming an unchanged team for the third successive game.There was, however, a first outing for teenage defender Danny Fitzsimons on the bench in place of last Saturday's match-winner Gary Alexander, who was ruled out with a heel problem.Likewise U's boss Aidy Boothroyd stuck with the same starting line-up that had beaten Walsall seven days ago.With The Lions unbeaten in five and third-placed Colchester in nine games going into this match, all the makings were there for a cracking game - and such was the frantic pace in the opening stages that it could have been 2-2 with just five minutes gone.There were just 84 seconds on the clock when great work by Danny Schofield on the left saw his cross half-cleared and fall invitingly for Jimmy Abdou, but he sent his 16-yard drive over the bar.The U's responded and twice went close in as many minutes when Kayode Odejayi flicked the ball wide and was then denied by an excellent block from keeper David Forde when he was put clean through.In between times, Schofield had also managed to work a one-one-one opportunity with visiting keeper Ben Williams, only to see his fierce drive parried.The former Yeovil man was thwarted again on 14 minutes, taking one touch too many before seeing his effort parried by Williams again.Colchester broke the deadlock four minutes later when referee Graham Horwood awarded a cheap free-kick after Kevin Lisbie ran into Jack Smith and Danny Schofield on the right flankWordsworth drilled the ball into the area and the ball flew off Laird and past the unsighted Forde at his far post.Back came The Lions though, with Neil Harris and Hackett setting up Steve Morison, who with a smart shimmy shook off his marker and let fly with a fierce effort that was blocked by the massed Colchester defence.Millwall continued to prise and probe a well-organised visiting rearguard with Morison and Hackett going close before the break, the former seeing his drive cleared for a corner and the latter, with a left-foot scorcher that flew inches past the post.Abdou swept the ball over the bar on 54 minutes as Jackett's side tried to unlock a resolute Colchester defence.And manager Jackett came up with the winning combination making astute substitutions that paid off perfectly.Henry had only been on the pitch for six minutes when he swung over a deep corner from the right, the ball was cleared, but only as far as right-back Dunne, who hit an absolute pearler into the bottom left hand corner.What a way to score your first league goal since 6th November 2007!Four minutes later Jason Price entered the fray for Morison, and came within a whisker of handing The Lions a 2-1 lead, seeing his header from Jack Smith's dinked delivery flash wide of the target.Defender Dunne, who had a stormer rampaging up and down the right flank, powered into the area 11 minutes from time and rather than going for glory again, selflessly squared for the unmarked Harris in the middle, only for the striker to direct his shot straight into the hands of the keeper.The Dunne-Harris combination nearly came up trumps again shortly after - this time Dunne's shot forced Williams to parry at full stretch, Chopper's follow-up was blocked by the keeper and the ball ricocheted off Harris and past the post from four yards.Colchester substitute Steven Gillespie could count himself the luckiest player on the pitch - because he should have been sent straight off it following an horrendous two-footed sliding lunge that, if Tony Craig had not managed to get out of the way, could have caused serious damage.The howls of protest from the players and crowd fell on deaf ears, and quite inexplicably, Colchester were awarded a free-kick with Lions skipper Paul Robinson booked into the bargain.A combined sense of injustice and determination were channelled superbly by The Lions as the game reached a frenzied finale.Colchester were awarded a couple of soft free-kicks in quick succession, the first was comfortably cleared by Millwall, the second, saw Wordsworth's curler smack the top of the bar.But with three of five minutes of injury-time played, The Lions were handed a free-kick of their own after Laird was sent tumbling 25 yards out.Up stepped Henry to despatch a perfect low shot through the outtsretched hands of keeper Williams to send the home fans into ecstasy.The two minutes of added time thereafter was greeted by a chorus of whistles from the home crowd. But their anxiety was replaced by relief when Mr Horwood blew for full-time to send the Lions fans home happy once again.Millwall: Forde, Dunne, Smith, Abdou, Robinson, Craig, Schofield, Laird, Harris, Morison (Price, 70mins), Hackett (Henry, 60mins). Subs not used: Sullivan, Bolder, Grabban, Martin, Fitzsimons.Booking: Laird (19mins)Scorers: Dunne (66mins), Henry (90+3mins)

Portugal Sells Debt, But Market Edgy
Europe's weaker economies aren't having much trouble raising cash from bond investors – as Portugal's success today shows. But investors are still edgy about the chances of another sovereign-debt blow-up across Europe.
On Wednesday, Portugal raised €943 million from investors by selling a five-year bond, more than the expected maximum of €800 million. The auction went smoothly and investors wanted the bonds, though this was a pretty small sale, making Portugal's pitch easy to make.
Chiara Cremonesi, an analyst at Italian bank UniCredit, adds that a further supportive factor, beside the low size, might have been the expectation of no more "taps" of this particular bond, meaning that future supply of it is expected to be limited, which should protect investors from price falls.
Still, like other cash-strapped economies on Europe's southern fringe, Portugal is having to pay up to borrow from the market: The average interest rate it paid today was 4.657% compared with 3.701% at an auction in late May.

Is that afternoon nap good for you?
According to a new research article, sleep enhances the quality of memory, reports SciGuru.com, a science news publication.
According to the news report published by SciGuru.com Science News (http://www.sciguru.com)
The research suggests an additional benefit of sleep in extracting the 'gist' of recent memories. In the study, Dr. Rebecca Spencer and colleagues at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, had participants learn lists of related words (bowl, spoon, morning, breakfast, milk). Importantly, each list lacked a critical word which reflected the gist of the list (cereal). When recall of the lists was probed after sleep, participants were more likely to recall those critical words reflecting the gist of the list than they were if recall took place after wake.
The science news report appeared in SciGuru.com was based on a paper recently published in the journal PLOS one. Full news report is available at http://www.sciguru.com/

Does ICU-acquired paresis lengthen weaning from mechanical ventilation?

To determine whether ICU-acquired paresis (ICUAP) is an independent risk factor of prolonged weaning.
Second study of a prospective cohort of 95 patients who were enrolled in an incidence and risk factor study of ICUAP.
Three medical and two surgical ICUs in four hospitals.
Patients and participants
Ninety-five patients without pre-existing neuromuscular disease recovering from the acute phase of critical illness after ≥7 days of mechanical ventilation.
Measurements and results
Duration of weaning from mechanical ventilation was defined as the duration of mechanical ventilation between awakening (day 1) and successful weaning. Muscle strength was evaluated at day 7 after awakening using the Medical Research Council (MRC) score. Patients with an MRC <48 were considered to have ICUAP. Among the 95 patients (mean age 62.0±15.3 years, SAPS 2 on admission 48.7±17.4) who regained satisfactory awakening after 7 or more days of mechanical ventilation, 67 (70.5%) were hospitalized in a medical ICU and 28 (29.5%) in a surgical ICU. Median duration (25th–75th percentiles) of weaning was longer in patients with ICUAP than in those without ICUAP: 6 days (1–22 days) vs 3 days (1–7 days); p=0.01; log-rank analysis. In multivariate analysis, the two independent predictors of prolonged weaning were ICUAP [hazard ratio (HR): 2.4; 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.4–4.2] and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (HR: 2.7; 95% CI: 1.6–4.5)
ICU-acquired paresis is an independent predictor of prolonged weaning. Prevention of ICU-acquired neuromuscular abnormalities in patients recovering from severe acute illness should result in shorter weaning duration.

I just recently found the blog Serious Eats. Very recently they had a discussion on what 20 dishes you need to know inorder to feed your family well for a month (figuring in eating out and pizza once a week). The discussion then came up, not to learn 20 dishes but to learn techniques which would open the door to lots of dishes.
When I first saw the title I thought.... 20 dishes would be boring! Not only that I'd have to have more then 20 because eating out and buying pizza is a rarity with my family size. I tend to think along the lines of categories when planning my meals. I try not to have pasta near another heavy starchy meal, a type of meat more then one day in a row, mixing meat heavy and non meat dishes evenly. Of course it's not always perfect, nor can I follow my rules all the time. Still I think it helps.
So I got to thinking....What would my monthly menu look like? Categories (and ideas that fall into those categories would include... (note...some meals fit multiple categories) I've included a link to the LOK recipe section for each category, when available, to give you more ideas.
Pizza...because I'd make it, not buy it
Convenience...because we wouldn't normally eat out...chicken nuggets, pizza rolls, snack night
Pasta...alfredo, goulash, pasta with sauce, raviolis, lasagna, baked ziti, mac and cheese
Rice...spanish rice, fried rice, taco bake, cheezy broccoli rice,
Beef/Venison...steak, hamburgers, beef and gravy, bbq beef/sloppy joe sandwiches, stir fry, tacos/fajitas
Pork...ham, chops, loin roast, bbq pork, stir fry, ribs and kraut,
Poultry...roast, lemon chicken, bbq, stir fry, bbq sandwiches, dump chicken, chicken and gravy, fajitas
Seafood...baked, broiled or fried (fish, shrimp, scallops), shrimp scampi, sauteed scallops
Sandwiches...lunchmeat/subs, grilled cheese, tuna, egg salad, egg, blts, tomato (summer favorite)
Soups and Stews...chili, beef stew, scalloped potato soup, broccoli, tomato, bean, veggies, and tons more
Casseroles...chili corn dog casserole, tater tot, shepard's pie, pot pie,
Non Meat/Vegetarian... salad (green, pasta, potato, mac), bean burritos, quesadillas, nachos, baked potato bar,
Breakfast... eggs and sausage, breakfast burritos, breakfast casserole, french toast, pancakes, waffles, egg mcmuffins, cereal, oatmeal
And you can't forget using your Crockpot on those really busy nights.
So there are 14 categories above, that's half the month taken care of! Pick two dishes from each category and you're done. Of course you're going to have some categories more then others. We tend to do pizza at least every other week, not once a month. Breakfast is almost every week lately since we're getting a lot of eggs from our chickens. Seafood is something I'd love to do more often but moneywise, isn't always doable. When you think broadly though, there are TONS of options to make meals interesting and easy.

So what's the plan, Calla?
Away from maddening Berengar and high in a tree, all her plans for the day simply in ruin, and not one soldier's ear near enough and any use to her, not one Scarlet's, not even one of Esben's rabble, Khoreia wrapped her cat paws about the branch under her, held on as tightly as she could.
"KILL YOU!" Urska hurled her she'bear bulk again, trembled the tree below like it might break and fly from the world.
More bears than ever Khoreia had seen at one gathering here paced the forest below. An impressive bear army: all she had found in all the day wasted searching for her beloved brother. Evidently, these bears would stay so long as Urska wanted to murder her treed cat. Even old Marron, the circus dancer, had kept this remarkable she bear company these many weeks, loyal as a husband, the iron ring yet in his snout.
The tree cracked up to the darkening sky. Khoreia scampered over the branch. The next tree stood close. She sprang, all her heart in the leap, like she might fly. She caught the next branch, a most precarious perch, her tail twirling and hind legs scrabbling at the bark. The tree behind groaned, swung down with a thud, shook the forest.
"STAY, YOU!" Urska shook this next tree.
Khoreia embraced the branch she had settled on. She laughed. It was the one gesture left to her in this long day without command. "A cat won't Stay, silly Urska. I know a dog, though, who might. Let me down. I'll take you to him."
Urska stood herself on hind legs. Swept high her front paws, her claws curved like daggers. But not so high. Khoreia stayed put.
"My lost brother. Urska. Have you seen him?"
The she bear glared. Khoreia saw it in her eyes: it was murder Urska intended.
She was trembling, Urska, in her bear shape, Khoreia saw, too. Transforming. Holding the tree in her great paws. It was plain to see, even in the twilight gloom settling over the mountain and forest. Then bear became girl. The girl hammered her fists upon the tree.
Night fell. Khoreia did not return. In His Majesty's tent, pacing about and wanting no comfort from his throne of cushions, Prince Berengar shrieked his displeasure before officers assembled expressly for hearing him. Calla waited among the forest of legs. His brushy tail wagged, nearly enough to betray him, again, again, though each time he managed easily to stop it. The instant arrived: the Prince's face had darkened the desired shade of red.
"Your Majesty. I must speak. If I may." Calla dipped his shaggy doggy head in deference.
Berengar swallowed, his left eye wide, tic'king. He had once a fine face, the striking likeness of his regal father. "Calla. Always. Loyal friend. I know I can rely on loyal Calla, when all others have abandoned me."
Berengar's officers shifted in their boots.
Calla reserved his attention for the Prince. "I fear the lady Khoreia has come to harm. She would not prefer a cold bed in the wild over her tent, your safe camp, your bright company, we can be sure. Doubtless she has been taken. The night all around us must conceal Vagari rebels awaiting the moment to strike. We must act quickly. Safeguard Your Majesty. Strike the enemy first, put him off step. Our Scarlets — the Empire's finest soldiers — properly belong where best they will serve, guarding Our Young King, and holding the camp. The Regulars must range out. They must go now. In strength — perhaps every able one of them. They must beat the bushes — flush out the rebels, terrified as rabbits before your martial prowess. Your Majesty, we cannot delay."
Berengar's officers growled in enthusiastic agreement.
Berengar had only to puff out his chest and command they do it: his officers rushed from the tent.
The Prince's brow smoothed. He settled among his cushions. His smile returned. He appeared again so like his regal father. He was not.
"Good, loyal Calla. I am relieved. See, I am relieved? Now that I have played my soldiers well upon the board I can return my attention to Borysko. And torture the man, as I certainly should."
The Pretender waved a ringed hand. A boy in scarlet livery flitted from the shadows.
"Stir up the kitchen for my nightcap. For cake. Away." Berengar's stare, and smirk, was reserved entirely for Calla. "Father's Borysko, Calla. Did you hear he has fallen into my hands? To do with as I determine. I was never...determined enough, in Borysko's eye. He shall see it."
Borysko's capture perhaps was inevitable. Calla had given the possibility sufficient thought ahead of this night: he answered the Prince by wagging his tail, enthusiastically. "Indeed. 'Majesty, if I may."
"Always, Calla." Berengar was smiling.
"Though it would please me, if it pleases Your Majesty to allow Calla, to watch the man suffer justice. He's a dog kicker, I can attest."
"Then father's Borysko shall lose his skin for the crime, too. Be assured, Calla."
"Calla is grateful. But, 'Majesty. I have news that may necessitate postponing the satisfying spectacle of Borysko's deserved torturing. I have heard reliable talk Borysko fell out with your royal father. Over training of your small and insignificant brother. Perhaps, this night, rather than torture Borysko, Your Majesty might send your loyal Calla to him. To sniff out where Borysko's loyalty now lies. The man may show himself most useful in the deciding days to come."
"Ah. Wisely reasoned, Calla. As always." The gleam faded from Berengar's eyes. "Practical needs must come before torture, I see. Go. Sniff the man."
Calla bowed his doggy head. "'Majesty." He backed from the gloomy Prince the respectful three steps, spun about, slipped out of the tent as Berengar began braying at his attendants for hurrying the cake.
The Scarlets already had stirred the camp noisier and busier and dazzling bright in smoky torches. The place now more jolly than the King's garden on Mid-Summer's Eve.
Before the royal tent, Armel, the toy sergeant, barked orders at Esben, his two corporals. The Regulars not invited to the Prince's tirade. Plainly, the good sergeant cared not at all about the affront to half the army, nor the omission. He puffed his pipe, nodded his head as Armel barked at him.
Calla dallied, sniffed a bush one of the camp mutts had soured. He stole glances, to catch Esben's recognition of this night's perfect opportunity.
A man's eyes, in a single unguarded glance, could betray his heart. Armel repeated every fine suggestion the dog had fed the Prince and his elites. Esben's eyes blazed, narrowed behind his curling pipe smoke.
It was enough.
He looked to his corporals. "Aye. Fall 'em in, lads. Full kit. I'll see to the irregulars." Esben turned with his corporals, done with the Scarlet sergeant, not once glancing toward the King's dog.
"Esben." Armel rocked on his heels, picked at the short sword on his hip: perhaps it did not hang just as he liked. "This is a night such as makes captains."
Esben did not face him. "I'll be happy if in years to come plain men sing about Esben over their beer."
"They will, Esben!" Armel strode away like he had a stick up his back.
Calla trotted after him, as far as the parade ground the Scarlets had stamped out near Berengar's baggage carts, the hospital ground, the kitchen. Predictably, the Scarlets were parading: they pulled their mean short swords, barked, stabbed at the night about them. The camp mutts barked along with them.
A quieter perambulation among the tents brought Calla back to the Regulars. A squad of Scarlets stood back, waiting to cover their posts. The Scarlets were snickering.
Esben had divided his assembled platoon into four squads. By the time yapping camp mutts announced the cook, four servers, the cake, and trailing officers, all arriving at the royal tent, Esben had marched out the last of the Regulars. And Captain Reece, Calla noted, afterward sniffing Khoreia's unoccupied tent. Esben had never relented: Reece on a stretcher was conveyed away in the night by those odd thirteen townsmen; and witnessed only by the King's dog.
His tail high, like a pennant, Calla trotted lightly over the cleared ground where Esben had camped his platoon. A small noise pricked his ear, stopped him. A small something rustling in the scrub. Very near his lowered snout. The vole shot out. Calla lunged, snapped him up, in two, three, four juicy bites. The vole sweeter than any treat from Berengar's table.
And just the treat to warm his doggy belly, before going to turn Borysko to treason.

Monday morning Pac-12 links
From Pullman -- By the time the Cougars are one-third of the way through Pac-12 play, they'll have only played one game in Pullman. So it's a good thing they won it last night, against Utah, 49-46. It's the Cougars first Pac-12 win and it came thanks to a gritty defense. It was a good win for WSU, which again played without DaVonte Lacy. While there is no timetable yet for his return, it's hard to see how he could get ready in time for the Cougars' upcoming Bay Area trip.
More links after the jump.
- Washington beat No. 15 Colorado, which also lost its star player in the process.
- No. 17 Oregon lost its third straight game, this time to Stanford.
- Arizona defeated USC to remain undefeated.
- A freshman from Bothell led UCLA past the Sun Devils.
- One of WSU's more-heralded football recruits may be getting cold feet.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) Dominic James scored a season-high 25 points and led a late surge to help No. 17 Marquette beat No. 8 Duke 73-62 on Tuesday night in the championship game of the CBE Classic.
GAME REPORT: No. 17 Marquette 73, No. 8 Duke 62
With the game tied at 56 and 6:23 to go, James scored 10 points in a span of less than 2½ minutes. He was fouled connecting on a fall-away jumper with 3:57 left, and after he made the free throw Marquette led 67-58.
The Blue Devils could not mount a rally over the final couple of minutes, giving Golden Eagles coach Tom Crean his seventh win in 18 games against teams ranked in the top 10.
Jerel McNeal added 17 points for the Golden Eagles (6-0) in the first meeting between the teams since Duke beat Marquette 59-49 in the 1994 NCAA tournament.
James left the game with 2:04 to go, favoring his right ankle after crumpling to the floor. He was helped to the bench but was hopping around on his feet a moment later, imploring Crean to let him back in the game.
James returned with 50.8 seconds to go and the game well in hand.
Josh McRoberts led the Blue Devils (4-1) with 15 points. DeMarcus Nelson added 13.
Nelson scored 11 of Duke's first 15 points, hitting three three-pointers and throwing down a dunk. By the time he hit McRoberts for an ally-oop reverse jam, the Blue Devils had a 21-16 lead midway through the first half.
But after Brian Zoubek scored in the post a couple of minutes later to make it 23-18, the Blue Devils went nearly seven minutes without a field goal, allowing Marquette to take a 28-26 lead with 2:38 to go in the half.
McRoberts tied the game at 32 with 31 seconds left, but James curled in a jumper a few seconds later to give Marquette a 34-32 lead at the break.
Air Force topples Texas Tech
Matt McCraw scored 18 points and Air Force shut down Texas Tech in the second half of a 67-53 win in the third-place game of the College Basketball Experience Classic on Tuesday.
GAME REPORT: Air Force 67, Texas Tech 53
Dan Nwaelele had 13 points and Nick Welch added 11 for the Falcons (5-1), who again denied Texas Tech coach Bob Knight victory number 874.
The Red Raiders lost to No. 13 Marquette 87-72 in the semifinals on Monday, keeping Knight three wins shy of tying Adolph Rupp for second-most in Division I history. He is seven short of surpassing Dean Smith's record of 879.
Jarrius Jackson hit four three-pointers and had 20 points to lead Texas Tech, which shot 50% from the field in the first half but went cold over the last 20 minutes.
The Red Raiders, plagued by poor shot selection and stifling defense in the paint, made only two field goals over the first 10 minutes of the second half. At one point, Texas Tech went nearly 5 minutes without scoring.
The Falcons took advantage of the drought, going on an 18-6 run fueled by two McCraw three-pointers. After Andrew Henke scored on a short jumper, the Falcons led 51-39 with 12:28 to go in the game.
Texas Tech managed to get within 53-45 on Jackson's three-pointer with just under 8 minutes to go, but Nwaelele and Jacob Burtschi answered with back-to-back three-pointers and the Falcons never looked back.
Texas Tech, which was out-rebounded 39-20 by Marquette, struggled again on the boards — this time against an undersized Falcons squad that only had 10 rebounds total in its 71-56 loss to No. 9 Duke on Monday.
The Red Raiders appeared to dominate the first half, hitting 13 of 26 field goals against an Air Force team that led the nation in scoring defense last year and had been holding opponents this season to an average of 39% shooting.
But offensive fouls and turnovers prevented Texas Tech from getting on a roll.
The Red Raiders used a 12-3 spurt early in the first half to build a 17-10 lead, but the Falcons responded with a 14-4 run of their own.
McCraw's three-pointer and two free throws gave the Falcons a 24-21 lead with 7½ minutes to go in the half, but Benny Valentine drilled a long three-pointer of his own to tie the game.
The two teams traded punches the rest of the half, swapping the lead nine times. Jackson's running jumper in the lane with 11 seconds to go knotted the game at 33 at the break.

Woke up to another beautiful sunny day and smooth seas. The ship spent the day gliding through the water. We put the kids into the kids' club and spent a very much needed quiet morning reading, soaking up the gorgeous sun and enjoying our first cocktail.

Pekka Rinne to miss NHL All-Star Game, replacement named
The knee injury suffered by Pekka Rinne on Tuesday night turned out to be more serious than originally reported.
The Nashville Predators initially announced that the goaltender would sidelined for four games, including next weekend's NHL All-Star Game.
That prognosis turned out to be optimistic. It has since been revised to 3-to-5 weeks.
It's tough timing for the netminder who has emerged as the early favorite to win the Vezina Trophy after missing nearly all of last season with a career-threatening hip injury.
While this setback is not thought to be as serious, it will lead to some roster shuffling. In Nashville, the Preds will have to rely on Carter Hutton to hold the fort. The seldom-used backup has made just six appearances this season and has five losses to show for them (0-3-2), but he was a perfect 10-for-10 in relief of Rinne in Tuesday's 5-1 win over Vancouver.
The choice will be a little trickier for the big game in Columbus. Less than a week after the All-Star rosters were announced, Rinne becomes the second goaltender to pull out of the event. Detroit's injured Jimmy Howard will be replaced by Islanders netminder Jaroslav Halak. Pittsburgh's Marc-André Fleury has been tabbed to fill in for Rinne. Despite playing behind an injury-ravaged blueline, Fleury, the Penguins' veteran keeper, is in the midst of a career year, leading the league in shutouts (6) and ranking fifth in wins (22), sixth in goals-against (2.16) and seventh in save percentage (.926). Halak has been a cornerstone of the Islanders' dramatic revival after last season's playoff DNQ.

The determination of the critical micelle concentration (CMC) value of surfactants under different environmental conditions is important for a number of different biological and chemical processes. Because the CMC is not a constant value, shifting with different environmental conditions, it is important that a rapid, reliable and easy methodology be available to facilitate testing. This application note describes the rapid semi-automated determination of CMC values for surfactants in 384-well microplates using fluorescence polarization.

"There was a bunch of coaches in the gym and stuff. I thought I played well on the block and outside a little bit as well as running the floor that's pretty much what I do best."
While he is used to the attention, that didn't make the experience any less exciting.
"I thought it was pretty cool and pretty special," he said. "It's pretty awesome when you see almost every Pac-10 school in the gym. Plus guys like Gonzaga and some other schools, it was pretty special."
Poling said Ben Howland (UCLA), Lute Olson (Arizona) and Lorenzo Romar (Washington) were the coaches that he noticed the most this weekend. He also noticed an ACC coach at one of his games.
"Roy Williams came to our second game," said Poling, who averaged 18 points and 10 rebounds for Portland (Ore.) Westview last season.
At this point North Carolina hasn't shown a substantial amount of interest, but the Tar Heel staff was in touch with Poling's high school coach prior to Kingwood.
"A little bit through email through my high school coach but not so much with me, maybe soon," Poling said. "I would consider them."
Scout.com's 3rd ranked center in the class of 2008 mentioned Gonzaga, Washington, UCLA and Arizona as the schools that are showing the most interest. However, he's still in the early stages of his recruitment, and would love to see more coaches at his games this weekend in Las Vegas.
"Oh yeah, sure," Poling responded when asked if he was open to hearing from more schools. "Just because a school hasn't come in yet doesn't mean that I'm not going to look at them. A lot of schools don't like to come in with the younger guys like some schools do. They like to wait until you're older."
Expert Scouting Notes from Kingwood
Eric Bossi -- "He doesn't really have all that much help on his team, but there's plenty to like with his game. The slender big man proved that he can run the floor and that he has the ability to make some really tough catches while on the run. He needs to add some strength, well actually quite a bit, but he's got good touch and a nice arsenal of post moves around the basket. The explosion isn't quite there yet, but he's far from unathletic and it's encouraging that he tries to fight through hacking arms in traffic for dunks."

Portishead's third album is initially more a record to admire than to love, its muscular synthesisers, drum breaks and abrupt endings keeping the tension high. But after several listens, Third's majesty unfurls. Propulsive Krautrock rhythms and German radio samples conjure up Eastern bloc minimalism in Silence, Small and the jaw-dropping We Carry On, while soft, organic textures add depth to the icy shallows elsewhere. When Deep Water appears, it is shocking: a minute and 33 seconds of sweet ukulele doo-wop that bring to mind a 78 discovered in a nuclear fallout. Elsewhere, the ominously titled Threads and Plastic show how strong Portishead have become.–guardian.co.uk
Collection includes 2011 Japanese SHM-CD reissues of all studio albums at the moment: Dummy (1994); Portishead (1997); Third (2008).
Collection includes all studio albums: 'Portishead' (Japan & US release), 'Dummy' (Japan & US release), 'Third' (US release), singles compilation 'Glory Times', live album 'Roseland NYC' and Beth Gibbons solo album 'Out Of Season' (US bonus track release).
…The sticker that came affixed to the disc contains a quote that proclaims this to be one of the best albums of all time. While that is a stretch, there's no denying that the quote below that one – "Quietly devastating" – is 100 percent accurate.
This famous filming of Portishead's first-ever live gig in New York–along with the accompanying album–is now considered a modern classic. The concert itself is a wonder to behold, as Portishead (Geoff Barrows, Adrian Utley, Beth Gibbons, Andy Smith) smoke cigarettes, chew gum, scratch records, and behave in a generally hip manner while around them the 30-piece New York Philharmonic Orchestra and a 5-piece horn ensemble do their thing. The performance and subsequent recording of this gig has, in some cases, offered a preferred body of work to Portishead's studio-based albums, proving that a live gig does not always equal poor production values. From the haunting "All Mine" to the ever-popular "Glory Box," the energy from the band members and orchestra adds a breathtaking edge to the well-known tunes. The camera itself takes on part of the magic of the concert, sweeping majestically across the action and the audience, helping to capture the slow, silky essence of this urbanized opulence.

He may be demonic ... but this figure isn't that bad
Previously on Tomopop, we've taken a look at the first two Super Street Fighter 4 Play Arts Kai figures, Ryu and Chun-Li. While I didn't find them to be too bad, they weren't "super-awesome-omg-the-best-figure-ever" either. That led me to wonder just how the next two releases would be as they featured two of my favorite characters from the series. One of those two happens to be the ferocious Akuma (a.k.a. Gouki in Japan), a seemingly unstoppable beast who made his debut in Street Fighter II Turbo by destroying the super-tough M. Bison without breaking a sweat.
So how does Akuma stack up against Ryu and Chun-Li? Or for that matter, the other Play Arts Kai figures we've recently reviewed? Come along after the jump and find out!
Figure Name: Super Street Fighter 4 Play Arts Kai Akuma
Figure Maker: Square Enix
Retail Price: US$54.99
Available At: Plamoya | Entertainment Earth | Big Bad Toy Store | Amazon
So, box time? Box time. If you remember back to Ryu and Chun-Li, Square Enix has designed the boxes in Street Fighter 4's art style, and Akuma is no exception to the rule. His box's difference? It just has his photos all over it and a purple/black coloring scheme to reflect his appearance.
Square Enix really does make some excellent boxes, but I'm sure you guys want to see what's inside, don't you?
Akuma is an impressive figure out of the box, mostly because of his intimidating look. At first glance, there's little that seems to be missing from Akuma; his trademark devilish look, complete with red eyes and stone-faced expression, is here, and there's no big, missing detail on the piece. He's actually only about as tall as the other Play Arts Kai figures in the series, which is about right (Akuma is only 5'10" in Street Fighter lore; Ryu stands 5'9").
Let's start up top this time. Akuma's face is actually pretty darn close to how he should look, from the skin tone to those big, red eyes and furrowed brow. Just looking at this photo makes me think I'm already a dead man. The only real complaint I have is that his prayer beads are not flush with his chest, so they're a bit floaty there when looking head on.
There's a bit of shading on the hair that might look odd at first from the side, but could be the result of the red paint being a little too thin along the hairline.
No such problems are visible up on top of Akuma's head, with his hair pulled back and sculpted to look as such. Again there's a tiny issue with the paint being too thin in spots to where you can see some of the black PVC base underneath. It's not the first time I've seen this on a Square Enix figure and it probably won't be the last. In the larger scope of things, though, it doesn't detract too much from the overall figure.
Want to move on down to the gi? Sure, let's do that: it's about as close to the in-game appearance as you might expect, from the tattered and work edges of the sleeves to the big kanji character on Akuma's back which means "heaven" or "sky". No, it does not glow when you do a Super Combo. The wrinkling and folding sculpted here is pretty solid, and in addition, the paint job is pretty clean. Opposite the back, you can see Akuma's ginormous pecs, which might make most men weep at their sight. Probably in tears from fear.
Akuma's big, beefy hands are here, with individual fingers sculpted and no flash present on the edges. The rope he had wrapped around his hands and wrists is well-detailed, and his arms look properly muscular.
There's some excellent sculptwork down here on Akuma's lower half, from the toes and their little toenails to the folding and wrinkling on the black gi. The rope belt has some nice braiding texturing applied to it, and even the geta Akuma is wearing have some nice weaved textures applied to them. The paint job is also okay, with no real visible bleeds and just a tiny splotch on part of the gi. The joints are in their usual spots (hips, knees and ankles) and are flexible, but are of older construction.
The big problem, really, isn't even really Akuma's fault. He's a predecessor to the Mass Effect line that uses ratcheted hip joints, so he's got the old ball-and-socket joints. Yes, they still aren't quite as nice as the new joints, and they do pop out from time to time if manipulated too far. You can easily pop them back in, but it does make posing him a bit tougher.
Even so ... you can still put together some great poses, like Akuma in this fighting stance. The flat-bottomed feet do help give him a nice base to stabilize off of, and while he can be a little tipsy when he's out of balance, he holds stable once you have him upright.
He's also got a fair bit of range of motion in the upper body, as you can see here in this pose replicating Akuma's Goshoryuken attack. The shoulders do swing out and allow you to move Akuma's arms across his chest somewhat, and each shoulder joint has full 360-degree rotation on the vertical plane. The seams along the biceps are actually another joint, which adds to the range of motion.
You can also see my hand. That's because Square Enix does not make their Play Arts Kai stands readily available yet (and anyone who's been to a convention will tell you they exist). There are alternatives you can use, but I'd rather see the Play Arts Kai figures actually have Play Arts Kai stands and not have to turn to something from Bandai or another company. The lack of stands for the Street Fighter figures really is a downer because you can't set them up in poses like this right out of the box.
RAGE FACE! As you saw above, Akuma comes with an alternate head that has him yelling and angrier than normal. It is as well sculpted as the default face, and though there's a bit of bleed on the white of his teeth to the inside of his mouth, it's not very noticeable when you're not shoving his face directly in front of your eye. Given the pointy nature of his hair ... I'd recommend not doing that.
From the side, you can see the shadow "grime" that has been present on some of the other Play Arts Kai figures as of late is also here, though much more muted. I'm almost starting to think Square Enix should stop trying to paint shadowing on there, because it's clearly not giving them the desired effect they were hoping for. Compared to the likes of Shepard and Kratos, though, Akuma's shadow issues are minimal at most. However, the paint here doesn't quite come down to his hairline as it should.
Underneath Akuma's head really lies my biggest complaint with the figure: the neck joint. It's ball and socket with each of the heads, and this means that it is a bit hard to keep Akuma's head on because it does come loose. It's not too big of a problem since the joint is sturdy and never felt as if it were going to break, but considering you have to put some pressure on Akuma's head to get him to snap into place and his hair is so spiky ... let's just say the still might be indents on my fingers from it.
Akuma also comes with a second set of hands, open palmed so you can make him look like he's about to throw a Gohadouken. Like any Play Arts Kai figure, they take a little bit of effort to get into place and the sculpting work is nice. I could do without the little bit of paint bleed on the palm of his left hand and right thumb, though.
Akuma's final accessory is a deep purple ball of energy, which slips around his fist. It's supposed to replicate the effect that goes with his Goshoryuken attack, and the translucent PVC does a good job of making it glow. There is a seam visible along the top that you can see a little bit of, but it's otherwise a good accessory for Akuma and one that does add something.
Play Arts Kai Akuma has most of the pros and cons of the old Play Arts Kai bodies, and by extension, figures. The joints are really bulky and swapping in and out is a bit of a pain, plus the hip joints aren't ratcheted. But the detailing? It's fantastic, and the paint work is pretty good overall as well, save for some small errors that should have been caught in the quality control department. There's still a desperate need for Square Enix to release the Play Arts Kai stands commercially, but all in all, Akuma is a fairly good figure, despite being rough in a few places.
This is not your figure if you demand absolute perfection (and at a price point of US$55, you should expect something pretty good for your money) but if you're willing to put up with a bunch of potential little issues and the older joints from the Play Arts Kai family, then he should be worth the investment.

Something rather impressive happens when a fat man loses his temper. It is as if his grievance is as swollen and exaggerated as his frame and that, when it snaps like a belt around his waist giving up the struggle, the explosion will cause a horrific mess. Fleck-lipped rage is never easy to deal with, but it is a fattie in a bate that is particularly scary.
So the audience at Wyndham's Theatre earlier this week, particularly those in the front stalls, must have felt emotionally drained when emerging from a matinee performance of Heroes, and for reasons that had nothing to do with the play. At the key moment during a climactic scene, a mobile phone rang and one of the play's stars, the Bunteresque Richard Griffiths, completely lost his rag with the woman to whom it belonged.
According to the play's producer David Pugh, quoted by the Society of London Theatre, Griffiths "had just had enough, so he walked to the front of the stage and asked her if her fucking phone was going to ring one more time or could he finish the play. He said, 'There's 750 people sitting here, and if I was them I'd sue you for spoiling their afternoon. In fact, why don't you leave the theatre now. Fuck off.' " As the poor humiliated woman left, the audience gave the big man on stage a standing ovation.
Of course, one has become used to the idea that people going to the theatre check in their brains and good sense with their coats before the performance, clapping like performing seals at the lamest shows and laughing wildly at the most plonkingly unfunny lines. All the same, the behaviour of the audience at the Wyndham's suggests that they were a peculiarly stupid and easily-cowed bunch.
In fact, if they were to sue anyone, it should the famous, well-paid actor on stage who had lacked the professional discipline and personal self-control to stay in character rather than throwing a big-boy wobbly at the behaviour of a member of the audience. The unfortunate woman in the stalls might have been somewhat thoughtless, but, perhaps fortunately for her, going to the theatre is not her full-time job; appearing on stage pretending to be someone else is Griffiths'.
If we were not living in strange, star-struck world in which actors can say or do pretty much anything they want and still get a standing ovation from their sheep-like fans, Griffiths would have been treated like a footballer who flicks an obscene gesture at fans during a game: fined heavily and forced to apologise in public for his silly, yobbish behaviour.
Instead, he is a hero, celebrated in the media. Just as blubbing on TV chat-shows was once a useful way for celebrities to point up their essential humanity, so today a showy curmudgeonliness is the favoured way for public figures of a certain age to make themselves popular.
Griffiths, for example, has already hit publicity pay-dirt through the simple expedient of bullying members of the public. Last year, while appearing in The History Boys at the National Theatre, he ejected from the front row a theatregoer whose telephone had rung repeatedly and who later turned out to be deaf. One might wonder how much pleasure is to be derived from Alan Bennett's wonderful lines by a man unable to hear his own phone, but there is a more important point. Griffiths, a terrific actor, has become a serial audience-abuser, quite happy when it suits him to step out of role and assume his real, off-stage persona as a modishly grumpy personality.
When actors take to haranguing members of the audience, can there be any wonder that the West End theatre is in crisis? Going to a see a play is an expensive, hit-or-miss business at the best of times; add to the experience the possibility of public humiliation and most sane people will play safe and go to the cinema.
Unfortunately, the fact that audiences seem to like a bit of bullying is likely to set a trend. Innately vain, actors tend to respond well to ovations. They are soon liable to find the smallest excuse to stride ostentatiously downstage in order to throw a tantrum about rustling paper or laughter at the wrong line or the fact that someone in the front row has fallen asleep.
It was probably Michael Parkinson who was first responsible for encouraging actors in the belief that it was not merely their ability to perform that was interesting, but their essential selves, including their half-baked views on anything and everything. The process has now gone too far to be reversed: it is now so accepted that a talent for professional impersonation brings with it all sorts of personal wonderfulness that the few, brave performers who resist the lure of being off-screen celebrities are deemed to be suspect and peculiar.
Surely, though, we can at least expect actors to remain in character for the couple of hours that they are on stage; it is the last bastion of thespian etiquette. Let the theatres fine those with misbehaving mobiles, as is done in New York, and perhaps issue a West End banning order, but the mimes on stage should be professional enough to keep going.
Life is full of irritations - personally, I would be rather cheesed off if I found myself in an economy airline seat next to Richard Griffiths on a flight to Australia - and it is up to the grown-ups among us to make the best of it without losing our tempers.Reuse content

Strangely, I didn't feel any malice from his terrifying form. "Oh, um, okay. I'll take the warding spell off of the doorway and the walls, one second." I closed the door and raced around the room pulling off the warding spells and slipping them into the bottom of my blanket box and opened the door again to find him still there. I pushed past him trying not to go through him and changed the symbol of the warding spell slightly, banishing all forms except his (dead guy with axe?). He then entered the room with a groan, glanced at where I was making a bed and headed for the other side of the room. I slowly re-entered the room and as he was putting his axe down and he started to pull off his executioner mask. I closed the door and headed for my bed again but didn't turn my back to him. He was still pulling off his mask and it was killing me. What did he look like? Would he try to scare me? Suddenly it came off with a 'plop!' and I was staring at a pretty boy.
"So sorry about that. I can't speak properly with this thing on. I'm James and I lived here 70 years ago. My parents ran the inn here for a while and then I passed away at a jousting tourney so they left, but I decided to stay in case some other family brought a young guy here too. Sucks you can see us though without us revealing our forms. I mean, must be pretty terrifying." I blinked and he laughed. "Oh yeah, bet it's a shock to hear a ghost talking to you normally huh? I've been listening to past guests who have stayed here talk so I'm pretty good at speaking normally." I sat back and stared at him.

Iraqi forces launch operation to seize last Islamic State enclave in Mosul
BAGHDAD/MOSUL, Iraq Iraqi armed forces launched an operation on Saturday to capture the last Islamic State-held enclave in Mosul, according to a military statement.
SEOUL North Korea fired up to two short-range missiles off its west coast on Thursday, Yonhap news agency quoted government officials as saying, the second launch in as many weeks, drawing quick criticism from the United States.
A South Korean defence ministry official confirmed the reclusive state had fired at least one missile, but could not specify the exact number or type.
White House National Security spokesman Gordon Johndroe said that North Korea's missile test activity was "not constructive" and Pyongyang should focus on dismantling its nuclear programme.
Pyongyang has refused to implement a February 13 deal with South Korea, the United States, Russia, China and Japan under which it agreed to begin shutting down its nuclear programmes in return for energy aid.
"The United States and our allies believe that North Korea should refrain from testing missiles," Johndroe said in a statement to reporters on the sidelines of a Group of Eight summit in Heiligendamm, Germany.
"We have confirmed that the North has fired a missile," a South Korean defence ministry official told Reuters, adding it appeared to be part of regular military exercises.
In late May, the North fired a short-range surface-to-ship missile off its east coast. Both South Korean and U.S. officials dismissed the launch as part of regular military drills.
Asked about the most recent apparent launch, a Japanese Defence Ministry official told Reuters: "I am aware of the report but we have not been able to confirm it. Even if it is true, I don't think it poses a grave threat to the security of neighbouring countries including Japan."
Yonhap quoted a South Korean government official as saying: "We suspect the number of missiles fired today was one or two. We are working to distinguish the types of missiles."
Normally, missiles fired off the west coast would land in the Yellow Sea which lies between the Korean peninsula and China.
"Last month when the North fired one missile off the east coast, it had also tried to do the same thing off the west coast," Yonhap quoted the South Korean government official as saying.
"It seems like they fired those which they had not fired at the time."
North Korea fired a barrage of long and short range missiles last year, triggering United Nations sanctions. It drew more punitive measures with its first nuclear test in October.
Military experts have voiced concern about the North's firing of long range missiles, which could carry a nuclear warhead to Alaska or possibly the continental United States.
U.S. President George W. Bush and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, speaking with reporters on Wednesday before a bilateral meeting at the summit, said they were united in wanting North Korea to move ahead on disarmament.
South Korea has withheld critical food aid to the North until the reclusive communist state begins implementing the February disarmament deal.

BAGHDAD/MOSUL, Iraq Iraqi armed forces launched an operation on Saturday to capture the last Islamic State-held enclave in Mosul, according to a military statement.
MOSCOW Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iran's Hassan Rouhani held a phone call in which the two leaders stressed the need for more joint efforts to resolve the Syria crisis and discussed economic ties, the Kremlin said on Saturday.
TAORMINA, Italy Under pressure from allies, U.S. President Donald Trump backed a pledge to fight protectionism on Saturday, but refused to endorse a global climate change accord, saying he needed more time to decide.

Remember_Me wrote:Trayvon's parents trademarking their slain son's name in slogans... it's been disgusting.
Maybe you could write a book on proper behavior for parents whose children have been murdered and who have spent weeks thinking the killer was going to get away with it, and then suddenly find themselves in the national spotlight. I'm sure they'd appreciate the guidance from those of us who have not lost any children and therefore know what behavior is disgusting and what is normal during the stages of trauma and grief.

Chapter 3
Angel gasped in delight. There sat the most perfect snow white cat, gently cleaning himself. On realising that he was being observed, the cat opened his wide eyes, surprised. They were a lovely deep violet!
As she picked up the cat, choosing that instant to name him 'Rain', Angel gazed at Marn, flitting around Padfoot's head just outside the pet shop door. Angel looked back down at Rain.
"Hmm, something's missing," she pondered.
Suddenly, delicate white curled wings wove themselves out of the fur on the cat's back; he exclaimed, but was otherwise unaffected by this physical change, exactly how Angel liked him to be. So, with a mew he continued cleaning his other paw.
Satisfied, Angel led Rain over to join Padfoot and Marn outside the pet shop, shaking her long blonde hair so that it billowed out behind her.
"Hmm," she mused again, and instantly her hair was bundled up, pinned neatly on top of her hair, and contained within a deep blue hair of mid-1800s style.
She shrugged to Padfoot with a grin and said:
"I watch too many historic dramas."
Suddenly, Padfoot nudged Angel and pointed across the street. The 'weasel guy' was leaning against a store-front, smoking, and it looked like he had been watching the girls all the time.
"Right…" Padfoot said, rolling back the sleeves of her shirt, "It's time we had a word with Mr. Weasel and his weasel…"

This fella named George Strait (probably a newcomer) is coming play a show in Louisiana and he told us to give you tickets. You don't want them do you? Yeah, didn't think so...
The final date of the George Strait's "Cowboy Rides Away" tour just got cranked up a bit -- eleven times over. Yep, George has that many guest performers on the bill.
Tim McGraw and Faith Hill will open the show for the last George Strait concert on his 'The Cowboy Rides Away' Tour on May 31 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.
George Strait used his immense success for good this past weekend when he helped raise $425,000 for Troops First Foundation at the Tapatio Springs Golf Resort through a golf tournament and auction.
On this Classic Country Saturday Night we remember Conway Twitty. Do you know what Conway's first Number One Country Song was?
There's a pair of cowboys in the new Wrangler Jeans commercial, dubbed 'Long Live Cowboys.' It's country icon George Strait and 10-time World Champion All-Around Cowboy Trevor Brazile! In the space of 30 seconds, the two men from different generations embody the unbreakable spirit of tried-and-true cowboys.
Looking at George Strait's illustrious career, you may wonder if he's ever had any regrets, because with 26 studio albums, it really does seem like he's done everything right.
George Strait fans here in Louisiana got some AMAZING news as George Straight announced that he would be kicking off his "The Cowboy Rides Away Tour 2014" in Bossier City AND will be Playing Bayou Country Superfest! If you missed it, below is the audio from the press conference.
George Strait is holding a press conference today at 10am to give details about his 2014 Cowboy Rides Away tour. You'll be able to watch it live below.
George Strait will be the honorary coin toss captain at the Dallas Cowboys home opener this Sunday against the New York Giants. Yee Haw!

A beloved who's among the approximately 2 million individuals in Pennsylvania aged 65 and above . . . do you have one? Fulfilling your loved one's demands properly suddenly comes to be hard on your part. At the same time, you're somewhat hesitant to send him/her to places like ALFs or assisted living facilities. Nevertheless, if your loved one is showing most or all of the following signs, it's undoubtedly time to have him/her go to an ALF.
Daily tasks are tough for your loved one.
Your elderly father takes a minimum of an hour to change clothing. Your old mother needs support every time she needs to go to the washroom. You observe your father and mother spending more time in only one or 2 rooms in the house daily. If you can relate to any of these scenarios, think about sending your loved one to an ALF, where trained personnel can attend to his/her day-to-day needs.
Your loved one has issues with treatments.
Every time you examine your parents' medication box, the tablets and capsules are in disarray. Possibly you have to frequently remind them to take treatments. It's likely that, for certain reasons, they have actually chosen to cease taking medicines altogether.
Your loved one is showing signs of fear.
Every early morning, your father may complain of hearing strange noises the evening before. If your dad was a war veteran, you may want a physician to have a look at him. Perhaps your mother constantly cries to you about having problems of past occasions. Your father and mother may regularly drop hints that you should not leave them alone.
Your loved one has socializing worries.
When he was more youthful, your dad used to anticipate fishing with you. Now, it takes you a lot of effort just to chat him into it. Your mother, who used to be great with crocheting, now takes a lot of time to make that one ideal stocking. Your parents' buddies do not drop by as frequently as they used to. Facilities that offer the assisted living Pennsylvania elders need can assist your parents in opening to others once again, make brand-new buddies, and gain a new point of view on their lives.
You're concerned about your loved one's safety.
Your dad has actually fallen off the stairways thrice in the last week. If you weren't there, a fire would've occurred due to the fact that your mom left the pot simmering for too long. Personnel for assisted living Pennsylvania locals trust may guarantee that your mom and dad are kept out of hazard's way.
If you're torn between your active routine and your senior loved one's demands, consider having him/her go to a facility for assisted living Pittsburgh residents endorse. For more details on these facilities, review webmd.com/healthy-aging/guide/assisted-living.
Five Signs Your Beloved May Need to Be in Assisted Living

Nurtured Pets has announced a "new and improved" presentation of Anti-LickStrip Pro, Pro C, Prevent, Equine and Anti-ChewStrip.
Nurtured Pets has announced a "new and improved" presentation of Anti-LickStrip Pro, Pro C, Prevent, Equine and Anti-ChewStrip.
Both product and packaging have been enhanced to ensure a secure place in the dog and cat markets.
There are two changes to the presentation, firstly the clove oil has been replaced with peppermint which has been proven to produce even better results in stopping dogs and cats licking, biting and chewing minor wounds, insect bites, lick granulomas and hotspots. Secondly, the ingredients of cayenne pepper, oregano, peppermint and lemon powder are sprayed onto the plaster ensuring no residual powder and thus a much more user friendly product.
New and improved Anti-LickStrip Pro & Pro C are available as 8ft dispensing rolls for use in practice.
For post-operative care, the client may be supplied with Anti-LickStrip Prevent, a 2 pack or 6 pack presentation of this effective nose and taste deterrent. Anti-LickStrip Prevent is presented in unique eye-catching hologram packaging – hold in one direction and a dog wearing an Elizabethan collar is clearly seen, hold in another direction the e-collar is gone and Anti-LickStrip Prevent is visible on a very happy dog.
Anti-ChewStrip follows the same principle of nose and taste deterrent, this time for use around the house to stop young puppies destroying household furnishings. Once again the clove oil has been replaced with peppermint thus providing even better results. Hologram packaging illustrates a young dog attacking a door, with the dog peaceful after the application of Anti-ChewStrip.
Anti-ChewStrip has also proven to be very successful in stopping cats scratching household furnishings. Serving as a nose deterrent, Anti-ChewStrip can be placed on door frames or furnishings to stop this very frustrating behaviour.
Anti-ChewStrip is available on a 5ft roll and is perfectly positioned to help boost waiting room sales.
Equine Anti-LickStrip has no ingredient change but the powder presentation is replaced with a sprayed on application to the plaster.
Equine Anti-LickStrip is available in retail packs of 10.
