transcript:
He comes in the night, avoiding the moonlight.
He has just one all-consuming desire-to feed.
And there's only one thing on the menu-your blood.
This is no mythical creature, but a living, breathing animal-the vampire bat.
When it comes to feeding, this little thumb-sized bat definitely sides with Dracula.
It's the only mammal on an all-blood diet.
An unsuspecting cow is the perfect prey.
First, a stealthy ground approach.
Vampire bats can walk on their thumbs and hop like a rabbit.
Ankles and ears are prime targets.
A quick bite and the feast begins.
These vampires really do have fangs-sharp upper incisors that can delicately slice into their prey without being detected.
Anticoagulants in the bat's saliva keep the blood from clotting.
They don't suck blood-they drink it.
And they're blood-o-holics.
If a vampire bat misses more than one night of slurping, they could die.
No one dies from blood loss at this vampire's meal.
But they can kill.
Millions of dollars' worth of cattle die each year from rabies transmitted through vampire bat bites.
It may not be supernatural, but that's definitely scary.
on.


text: Tucker County hangs on against Williamstown By Ryan Pritt March 6, 2013 Story Share CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The early bird may get the worm, but those who stuck around late at the Charleston Civic Center on Wednesday for the first day of the girls state tournament got to see by far the most entertaining game of the day.It wasn't always pretty, fundamentally sound, or for the faint of heart, but in the end, No. 4 Tucker County survived a hectic, physical, and bruising contest to earn a 61-53 decision over No. 5 Williamstown in a Class A quarterfinal game.The two foes were hardly strangers despite not having played in the regular season.Williamstown ended Tucker's season in the first round of the state tournament last year in an 84-82 thriller.But this time around, Williamstown didn't have Liz Flowers to answer the Tucker County pressure and the Mountain Lions were able to exact a bit of revenge.In that game Flowers, who was an all-West Virginia Conference freshman team selection for West Liberty this year, scored 47 points to get Williamstown into the second round.But in the nightcap on Wednesday, Williamstown couldn't find an answer on the offensive end during a Tucker County 12-0 run to close the first half and Tucker somehow, someway held off a wild fourth-quarter rally by Williamstown, in large part without point guard Hunter Radford who fouled out midway through the final period. Even with Radford, Tucker struggled to take care of the ball, turning it over 30 times. But the Mountain Lions defense forced 18 turnovers of their own and the players seemed to spend more time on the floor chasing loose balls than on their feet.After leading by 17 at the half, Williamstown (14-10) outscored Tucker 16-10 in the third quarter and through foul shots, Tucker turnovers, and 3-pointers, Williamstown was able to chip the Mountain Lions lead all the way down to two in the first few moments of the fourth.But percentages don't lie and in the first half Tucker made 51.6 percent of its shots compared to just 21.2 for Williamstown including 1-for-14 from 3-point range, many of them open looks resulting in a 36-19 halftime deficit.Even though the Yellow Jackets roster lists seven seniors compared to just two for Tucker, it was the Mountain Lions that grinded through, making plays when they absolutely had to be made late in the game. Kenzie Stephanie Betler scored 29 points and grabbed 12 rebounds for the Mountain Lions while Amber Evans had 21 points and 12 boards. In all, Tucker held a 51-37 advantage on the glass.Kenzie Smith led the way for Williamstown with 19 points and Brooke Cieslewski had 16.The Mountain Lions will take on No. 1 St. Joseph at 1 p.m. on Friday in a Class A semifinal game.Reach Ryan Pritt at 304-348-7948, firstname.lastname@example.com">email@example.com, or follow him at twitter.com/RPritt.

CROWDS of workers at Bridgwater's Argos distribution centre have gone on a four-day strike following a row over pensions.
Argos is closing its Group Final Salary Pension Scheme in favour of one linked to share prices and profits, which Unite workers fear would deprive them of thousands of pounds upon retirement.
The Mercury met with warehouse operatives and six official picketers at the centre yesterday, one of four depots involved in strike action. The picketers went on strike in the early hours of yesterday morning and will continue until 6am on Monday (September 24).
Dorothy Fogg, regional officer for Unite, told the Mercury: "Argos is giving different levels of pension benefit. The further up the management tree, the better the pension will be.
"Workers feel they are missing out quite a bit. Many work four days and have four days off. Those that were assigned to work at the time of the strike have sacrificed their pay in order to encourage their employer to rethink negotiations.
"We are very willing to talk it out, as you can never talk too much when people's finances are at stake."
An argos operative who did not wish to be named said talks about the pension scheme broke down on Tuesday and picketers will be approaching delivery drivers with leaflets letting them know what was going on.
They added: "We've got around 40 to 45 supporters here today. I'm confident this action will lead to further negotiations. This is our last option.
"The Final Salary, which was gold-plated, has been replaced with a money purchase scheme which equates to around 50% of what we would have got before. It encourages staff to buy into the pension scheme and gives managers a higher proportion in pensions."
A spokesman for Home Retail Group, which sells products under Argos and Homebase, said it was currently engaged in individual consultation with colleagues from the Bridgwater centre, following five months of collective consultation.
He described the new pension arrangements as 'competitive', adding: "Despite only 30% of union members voting in favour of industrial action, Unite have decided to proceed with strike action.
"This action will only impact a proportion of our distribution network and stores are unaffected. We have a range of contingency measures to draw on and we are committed to ensuring that there is no disruption for our customers."

While most eating disorder issues are treated by cognitive behavioral methodologies or specialized outpatient/inpatient programs, Grey Matters International and the work of Kevin J. Fleming, PhD provide relief first and foremost for the brain of one suffering from an eating disorder----without giving them medication. We believe that the neural circuitries responsible for the compulsive behaviors with eating are not necessarily only a neurotransmitter issue but of overused neural networks that affect the harmonization, balance, and decisions of the whole brain.

Today, eating disorders are spread throughout classes, races, ethnicity, and subcultures. Eating disorders are determined by multiple factors: individual personality traits, physiological predispositions, family patterns, critical experiences such as loss or abuse, the sociocultural influences of gender roles, and the meanings ascribed to food, weight, and appearance as well as the addictive quality of modern day foods. Family & individual therapy can help the whole family system, relieving the blame, self-degradation, & confusion for the individual and gives the family clear guidelines of how to help. The goal is to use food as nourishment & develop satisfying connections with loved ones

Etymology 1[edit]
The word hobbit has an unknown origin. However, as designating a diminutive legendary creature, it fits seamlessly into a category of English words in hob- for such beings. The Middle English word hobbe has manifested in many creatures of folklore as the prefix hob-. Related words are : hob, hobby, hobgoblin, Hobberdy Dick, Hobberdy, Hobbaty, hobbidy, Hobley, hobbledehoy, hobble, hobi, hobyn (small horse), hobby horse (perhaps from Hobin), Hobin (variant of the name Robin), Hobby (nickname for Robert), hobyah, Hob Lantern.
The only source known today that makes reference to hobbits in any sort of historical context is the Denham Tracts by Michael Aislabie Denham. More specifically, it appears in the Denham Tracts, edited by James Hardy, (London: Folklore Society, 1895), vol. 2, the second part of a two-volume set compiled from Denham's publications between 1846 and 1859.
The text contains a long list of sprites and bogies, based on an older list, the Discovery of Witchcraft, dated 1584, with many additions and a few repetitions. The term hobbit is listed in the context of boggleboes, bogies, redmen, portunes, grants, hobbits, hobgoblins, brown-men, cowies, dunnies.
The most famous use comes from J.R.R. Tolkien in 1937, featuring in the novels The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. Ostensibly from a hypothetical Old English *holbytla "hole-builder".

Coulter falsely claimed "majority of Hispanics voted in favor of" California's Proposition 187
Research ››› ››› SIMON MALOY
Right-wing pundit Ann Coulter falsely claimed a "majority of Hispanics voted in favor of" Proposition 187, a controversial California ballot measure that sought to deny illegal immigrants most government services. In fact, exit polling shows that the vast majority of Hispanics voted against Proposition 187.
Proposition 187 intended to prevent illegal immigrants in the United States "from receiving benefits or public services in the State of California." It was approved by voters on November 8, 1994, but was blocked eight days later by a federal judge who questioned its constitutionality. It was struck down in March 1998 by federal district judge Mariana R. Pfaelzer, who found that Proposition 187 "unconstitutionally usurped Federal authority over immigration policy" [The New York Times, 3/19/98].
From a discussion of border security on the August 4 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
COULTER: Sometimes you have to do the principled thing, even if it will cost you votes. Here, doing the principled thing will win you votes, and still Republicans -- and Democrats, as you say, they don't really care about national security -- but the Republicans, I think George Bush seems to think that this will hurt him with the Hispanic vote, or hurt Republicans with the Hispanic vote, which is crazy. It's a complete misreading of Proposition 187 in California, which a majority of Hispanics voted in favor of. People forget about that. It was a court that overturned it. That was denying public benefits to illegal immigrants. A majority of Hispanics voted in favor of that. To equate Hispanics with lawbreakers, it seems to me, is the racist position here, but I think that's what's driving the Republicans.
Contrary to Coulter's claim that Proposition 187 has been "misread," a Field Poll analysis of the 1994 general election in California found that the vast majority of Hispanics actually voted against the ballot measure: "White non-Hispanic voters favored Prop. 187 by a 28-percentage-point margin, and white men supported it by 38 points. On the other hand, Latinos voted No by a 46-point margin." The analysis showed that 73 percent of Hispanic voters voted against Proposition 187. The Field Research Corp. conducts the Field Poll, which it describes as "an independent political and public policy poll" that "enjoys widespread respect for its fairness and accuracy in charting opinion trends in California's dynamic political and social climate."

LONG BEACH - With his feet still sore from campaigning Tuesday, 9th District City Councilman-elect Steve Neal took a little time to relax Wednesday before he puts his nose back to the grindstone.
In his North Long Beach campaign office on Artesia Boulevard, now mostly empty except for a couple of tables and a mass of campaign signs plastered on the storefront window, Neal said that he plans to get up to speed on city business before he takes office July 20.
The 49-year-old United Way employee said that will include working with outgoing Councilman Val Lerch, who Neal defeated along with two other candidates in Tuesday's election, capturing 52.3 percent of the vote. Neal is the only new council member to be elected Tuesday, although the outcome of the 7th District race is unsettled until a June 8 runoff.
Neal said he will also be selecting his office staff and sitting in on council meetings to prepare for his new position.
Getting up to speed will be crucial for Neal, as tough decisions await him and the rest of the council. When Neal is sworn in, the council will be in the midst of deciding how to eliminate an $18.5 million general fund deficit and looking ahead to likely greater deficits to come.
Neal acknowledged that Long Beach's lean financial reality may make it difficult for any candidate to keep campaign promises.
"I'm not really making promises," Neal said. "I'm coming in with some ideas that I'd like to see."
Idea No. 1 is something that wouldn't seem to cost much money, but that Neal said is crucial in North Long Beach.
"The one thing that I want to do is to try to organize the district," Neal said.
He said he wants to create more civic participation with new neighborhood associations and block associations.
"Every area, no matter where you go, there is somebody in that neighborhood that is the leader of that neighborhood," Neal said.
By knocking on doors during the campaign, Neal said he also had learned that job creation is clearly a priority for his constituents.
Yet when asked what specific policies he might introduce when he takes office, Neal wouldn't divulge any details, saying that he is still considering how to proceed.
The councilman-elect's efforts to beat the streets not withstanding, Neal said he couldn't discount the support he received from virtually every powerful union in the region in his victory.
Neal worked 22 years for Verizon as a directory assistance operator, but he spent the last 12 of those years working for the Communications Workers of America, which represents Verizon's employees.
It was that union experience that led him to his current job as director of labor and community services for United Way, in which he runs an assistance program and helps unions set up giving programs for members to donate to the non-profit organization.
Despite his union background, Neal said, he won't turn a blind eye to the possibility that Long Beach's employee associations may have to make some concessions to help balance the budget, particularly on the costly pensions.
"I understand pensions, I believe in them, but with the current economic climate we're in, we're going to have to do something to change them," Neal said.
He said his experience as a union negotiator will help him deal with the city's own negotiations, although this time he'll play the role of management, not employee. Ultimately, both groups have similar goals, he said, even in a public agency.
"The union wants to see the company succeed," Neal said. "Public employees, just like any other employees, have to recognize the economic climate we're in."
The climate around the Neal household - he has six children and seven grandchildren - will be changing soon too.
Neal's wife of 18 years, Katonja, who helped put together his campaign office and on Wednesday was working to take it down, said she had been ready for some time for the changes that will come when her husband takes office. Neal ran against Lerch four years ago and narrowly lost.
Her reflection on what's to come for the couple also shines light on the religious conviction that drives Neal, who is an assistant pastor at a Chino church.
"I have to share him with the rest of the community," Katonja Neal said. "I believe what he told me, that he's called to serve the community, and that's what we're going to do."

Mean Betty on Celebrity Romance
From Jon and Kate to Khloe and Lamar … Mean Betty on the moving power of true love.
-Mean Betty
Sigh. The cockles of Mean Betty's heart are just warmed more and more with the passing days. Such a touching assortment of celebrity relationship news currently, wouldn't you agree, pets? There's Whitney Port's fake boyfriend (who, alas, failed to tell his real girlfriend he was being cast as a love interest on the "reality" show). Then of course there are the ever-fascinating antics of Jon and Kate — will Kate will cave and grant Jon his stay of execution? Romantics the world over wait with bated breath.
And now, it turns out – gasp! – that the "wedding" of Khloe Kardashian and LA Laker Lamar Odom was … totally bogus, non-legal, and scripted! Let us all now faint with shock.
TMZ.com has posted audio from the "ceremony" complete with script discussions and walkie-talkie chatter (and doesn't every girl just dream of walking down the aisle to the static and buzz of walkie-talkies?)
Huffington Post reports: "In the audio, the producers are heard debating a line from the wedding script, specifically when during the festivities Khloe should tell her stepdad Bruce Jenner that she considers him her real dad. Biological dad Robert Kardashian died in 2003."
So touching. A truly heartfelt moment that must have been.
Of course, the lovebirds are defending the "reality" of their "wedding" – insisting that we just don't understand, not being on the "inside" and all. "It's crazy how perception works in America when you're looking at things from the outside," Odom, 29, told reporters at a press conference at the Lakers media day Wednesday.
Yes, isn't it just CRAZY, Lamar? Of course, Mean Betty is sure that you and Khloe, soul mates that you are, will live together in marital bliss until your dying days, but we must understand the rest of the world might be a tad skeptical, considering you had a script, were being filmed by television cameras, had no legal paperwork (those pesky pre-nups!) and – oh – aren't actually legally married. Plus there's that little fact that E! paid for the wedding – most likely as a way to guarantee a spin-off newlywed "reality" show. Details, details!
Isn't young love just so romantic?

Brevard, N.C. – In the 2008 home opener in the newly renovated Boshamer Gymnasium, the Brevard College women's volleyball team dominated from start to finish, defeating Coker College in three sets 25-16, 25-18 and 25-23.
With the win the Tornados move to 4-1 on the year, while Coker falls to 1-5 for the season.
The Tornados, who never trailed in the match, traded points with the Cobras in set one before a kill by freshman Jordei Osby gave BC a 6-5 lead that they would not relinquish.
BC pushed their lead to as high as 12 at 24-16 when fellow freshman Ashlie Morrison picked up a service ace to win set one, 25-16.
In set two Brevard took the lead 1-0 and never looked back, pushing their lead to 16-9 on a kill by sophomore hitter Brooke Seaman.
Yet the Cobras did not go away, as Coker cut the lead to four at 18-14 before the Tornados finished the set out with a 6-4 run to win the set 25-18 on a service ace by junior Cori Emory, putting BC up 2-0.
Set three was a set of runs as the Tornados jumped out to a 10-5 lead before Coker came fighting back to knot the score up at 10-10.
The two teams would tie the score up three more times before BC took a 22-21 lead late in the set on kill by Chelsey Trojan. At match point, the Tornados looked to pre-season all-SAC second team selection Brooke Seaman pounded an attack into the gym floor to give BC the 25-23 win.
For the match, the Tornados were led by setter Jami Perry who dished out 19 assists and recorded six kills. Seaman added a team-high seven kills, while Trojan and sophomore Kirstan Carlson had four kills apiece.
Newcomers Chelsea Larsen and Osby added two and three kills, respectively.
The Tornados had 10 service aces for the match led by Trojan's three.
Coker College was led by Kristin Teets, who had 10 kills and one block assist. Fellow outside hitter Cynallyhia Indriago posted seven kills for the match to go along with her seven digs. Libero Kelsey Carlson had 11 digs over the three-set match.
Both the Tornados and Coker College will be in action again tomorrow, as the two squads will compete in day two of the BC Volleyball Tournament. The Coker Cobras will play Columbia College at noon and Virginia Intermont at 4 p.m. Brevard will play Virginia Intermont at 2 p.m. and will wrap up the tournament with a contest versus Columbia College at 6 p.m.

Best Of :: Sports & Recreation
The UH Cougars play exciting football at a high level that can be very entertaining to watch, in an old-school stadium which has its charms if you don't need the modern conveniences, and at night there's a great view of the skyline to add to the atmosphere. Sure, they play in Conference USA, but that's where the "cheap ticket" part comes in. Just go to any of the C-USA games at Robertson Stadium, wear your Coog colors, be friendly and chances are pretty good someone will give you one of their extra tickets. It doesn't come cheaper than that, and all you have to do is cheer on the red and white in return.
Danny Cruz might not be the most potent player on the Dynamo roster, but if he's on the field against you, chances are you're going to remember him. He's high-energy, aggressive and not afraid to get a yellow card or two. Off the field, the 21-year-old has been active in raising money to fight leukemia, and he's brightened kids' lives with his hospital visits. And hey, he helped turn a theater geek into a soccer jock on MTV's Made, so he's got that going for him, too.
Houston voraciously welcomed its new entry in the NFL when the announcement came. But ever since play began in 2002, the team has delivered a ton of disappointment, inept playing, coaching and front-officing, and, really, little reason to cheer. But Texans fans haven't given up. They're not blindly slavish; they've made their displeasure known by being slow to fill Reliant on game days and leaving lots of unused seats when things seem especially hopeless. But any listener to talk radio knows they never have lost their passion and blind faith that one good draft, one new assistant coach, one player out of nowhere is all that's needed to bring success. And when that success comes, this town will go nuts.
Defensive end Antonio Smith was probably the least sucky player on a very sucky Texans' defense last year, which, as you can probably guess, isn't really the highest praise possible. But he gets extra points for us for going after spoiled, performance-enhancing-drug-taking, and lately underwhelming teammate Brian Cushing during a game. Smith ripping off Cushing's helmet as the linebacker tried to intervene in Smith's altercation with a Jacksonville player was maybe the most spark the Texans' D showed all year.
Your dog will kiss your ass (unless you're trying to break him of that habit) for taking you to this awesome park's 17 acres of trees, ponds and agility equipment. Unlike at some other parks, neither you nor your four-legged friend will feel penned in. Whether you want to relax in one of the sitting areas while Fido does his thing, or you want to go explore the many sights, smells and sounds with him, you'll feel good knowing that you're giving your dog the chance to get outside and be a dog. And you'll feel especially good when he's too tuckered out to be in your face the rest of the day. If dogs are man's best friend, this park is your dog's best friend.
If you work in the radio biz and can somehow get associated with Jim Rome, you're automatically in the airwave gold category. That's what Travis Rodgers did for $5 an hour, reading the "Huge Fax of the Day" (dude has been in this game for a long time) before hopscotching to a better gig as Jim Rome Show producer. Rodgers became as integral to Rome's segments as the host, which made Rodgers's decision to hightail it from the left coast to Houston's 1560 AM KGOW/The Game a no-brainer. He's made the most of his time since September 2010 as the main man behind Travis Rodgers Now, which can be heard from 3 to 7 p.m. weekdays, thanks to a smart-aleck sense of humor that always works well with a mid-afternoon sports talk show.

Constitutional Experts Take Aim at Targeted Killing Program
September 26, 2012
One year ago on September 30, U.S. citizen Anwar al-Aulaqi was killed in Yemen in a drone strike authorized by President Obama. These targeted killings have increased during the president's term, and they have forced scholars and government officials alike to confront challenging questions about constitutional and international law and the limits of executive power.
On September 24, Fordham Law hosted a debate that addressed these timely issues. The event, "Executive Power and Civil Liberties: Debating Obama's Target Killing Program," drew 245 people to the Law School's McNally Amphitheatre and featured two leading constitutional law experts, Fordham Law Professor Martin S. Flaherty and Harvard Law Professor Jack Goldsmith. Another distinguished expert in constitutional law, William M. Treanor, moderated the debate.
|Martin S. Flaherty and Jack Goldsmith
Flaherty and Goldsmith discussed the legality and wisdom of the Obama administration's counterterrorism policies, including the targeted killing of suspected terrorists who are U.S. citizens and who are outside of active, or "hot," battlefields.
"The war paradigm used to be that states fought states, and you didn't have to pick out individuals," said Goldsmith. "But now we're not fighting against states. We're fighting against non-state actor groups. We're in armed conflict with transnational terrorist groups." Battling these groups, Goldsmith explained, is settled in U.S. law but not in international law.
Goldsmith argued that the use of drones and individuated killing should be considered a humanitarian victory, as they minimize civilian casualties. Flaherty agreed that targeted killings are permissible in broad strokes but cited constraints in terms of domestic and international law, democratic first principles, and transparency.
"The problem is we—as a democratic self-governing people—don't know enough to make intelligent decisions about the balance between security payoff and violation of individuals' rights," said Flaherty. "We need to know more about this."
Flaherty is the Leitner Family Professor of International Human Rights Law. He also is a Founding Co-Director of the Leitner Center for International Law and Justice and a Visiting Professor at Princeton University's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. Goldsmith is the Henry L. Shattuck Professor of Law at Harvard. A noted author, his books include Power and Constraint: The Accountable Presidency after 9/11 and The Terror Presidency: Law and Judgment Inside the Bush Administration. Treanor served as Fordham Law Dean from 2002 to 2010 and was a professor at the School beginning in 1991. He currently serves as Executive Vice President and Dean of the Law Center and Professor of Law at Georgetown University.
The event was conceived and funded by Fordham Law alumna Margaret "Peggy" Hill.

"Django Unchained" Stars Bring their Hit to Berlin
Bringing the action to Germany, the cast of "Django Unchained" attended a photocall in Berlin on Tuesday morning (January 8).
The lovely Kerry Washington rocked a gorgeous white dress with a darling bow headband, while walking the red carpet with co-star Jamie Foxx.
Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson and director Quentin Tarantino were also on hand to chat about their highly successful film.
And it seems that the U.S. Christmas Day release has been doing so well that it will likely be Tarantino's best theatrical showing of his career.
"Django" has scored $82.4 million domestically so far, and once it hits theaters worldwide there's no telling how much it will generate.

Seattle Spotlight: Pike Place Market
Possibly what Seattle is known best for (unless you follow sports; I bet Seattle has some famous sports team or something), Pike Place Market lives up to it's reputation. With a beautiful view of Puget Sound, Pike Place is filled with cobblestone streets, little specialty shops, and a big market filled with fresh flowers, fresh pasta and fresh produce (Nevermind the 'fresh' fish; ugh).
There's also the little thing known as the Gum Wall nearby.
A cute shop sells authentic grenadine. Grenadine is traditionally made out of pomegranate, but now most brands just use red coloring and sugar water. I loved finding this.
A cozy little bookstore located in the market center.
The famous Gum Wall:
Yep, all gum.
We love Pike Place Market. What are some of your favorite spots in Seattle?

The Story:MARIN TORCH SLAYERQUAILS IN JAIL CELLThis is an article that was written in THE CALL BULLETIN, Dec. 11, 1947
Accused of the torch murder of his nephew in an outburst of violence, a wizened little Sausalito waterfront character trembled in his county jail cell today, dazed by the future he precipitated.
The accused slayer, George H. Kasolas, 69, 5 feet tall, wrinkled and leathery, was transferred from the county jail at San Rafael.
He was captured unharmed after standing off some 40 Peace Officers in a bizarre siege of nearly two hours in his barricaded houseboat "ark" near the Marinship yards yesterday.
The victim, Pete Hardez, 56, a waterfront familiar known as "Pete the Greek," was drenched with kerosene and burned to death after being felled by a homemade slug which authorities said he fired from his shotgun.
Police attributed the killing to a five year feud between uncle and a nephew over a real or fancied grievance over money. Signs in his native language plastered Kasolas' waterfront shanty accusing his nephew of failing to pay a debt.
On Kasolas' person, after his capture, was found $2,650.00 in cash.
The fatal assault on Hadzes was witnessed by Oscar Mauden of Sausalito, at work on a nearby boat. He said Hadzes, walking along the old North-western Pacific tracks in front of his uncle's "ark", was felled by a single blast, after which Kasolas ran from the shack, drenched the body with kerosene and ignited it.
Mauden ran to Sausalito's main street and summoned police. Police Chief James F. Doyle and a group of officers were unable to rout the old man from the house and summoned reinforcements, as Kasolas answered their fire.
Soon nearly 40 men from the Sheriff's Office, State Highway Patrol and San Quentin guards joined the siege. Submachine gun and rifle fire, as well as tear gas shells, were used.
Officers finally charged the shack and found Kasolas, unharmed by bullets or tear gas, holed up in a tiny rear closet. Beside him were two shotguns and some homemade slugs.
As he was rushed through a crowd of some 500 persons who had gathered at the scene, Kasolas kept muttering in broken English: "He owed me money. He would not pay. He owed me money."

Hayao Miyazaki is one of the world's most respected Japanese animation filmmakers. He is known for creating compelling characters, engaging stories, and breathtaking animation, all of which have earned him international acclaim while setting box-office records. Miyazaki, who began his career in 1963 as an in-betweener for Toei Doga studio, soon found his true calling as an anime and manga artist, working on classic Japanese features and television series and writing the best-selling manga, Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.
In 1985, he cofounded Studio Ghibli, and in 1989, wrote and produced its breakthrough hit animated feature, Kiki's Delivery Service. Since then, Miyazaki has directed some of the most successful and popular anime features of all time, including Howl's Moving Castle, Princess Mononoke, Ponyo, and Spirited Away, entertaining audiences around the world and raising the bar for the art of animation. Here is his complete story of becoming heralded as Japan's premier anime storyteller.
Check out all of the titles in the Legends of Animation series.

"Miyazaki is an inspiration!"
Before reading this I was already in love with his work and aspirations of being an illustration artist was my goal. Now, I wish I could work under him and create dreams and inspire others in a way that breaks the boundaries of illustration.

| Posted by LA Phil on Tour in Lisbon
"Orchestrating" a tour blog isn't the easiest thing in the world. But if we had an overriding theme that defines the kind of content we like to provide, it would be content that offers a unique perspective -- whether that's a European city through the eyes of one of our orchestra members, the way the LA Phil staff sees a pile of luggage or how the entire operation moves from Point A to Point B.
How's this for a unique perspective -- an excited smile and wave from our own Music Director, Gustavo Dudamel, as he walks onstage to kick off the first of thirteen concerts that will eventually make up the 2011 European Tour.
Or how about a glimpse of our Principal Concertmaster, Martin Chalifour, seconds before he walks onstage to tune the orchestra.
The clips are short and shaky, but we pretty much guarantee that you won't see them anywhere else. Like we said, it's all about unique perspectives.

Tornados take Indians to overtime before falling, 1-0November 1, 2008
Salisbury, N.C. - The Brevard College men's soccer team finished off a Saturday which saw four Tornados' teams (football, women's soccer, volleyball and men's soccer) take on their respective counterparts from Catawba College. The men's game was the nightcap of the all day affair as both teams fought for the last berth in the Food Lion South Atlantic Conference Tournament.
The teams fought through a scoreless regulation, but Catawba emerged on top in the first overtime period to take the game, 1-0.
For the season, the Tornados fall to 5-14-1, 1-7 in the South Atlantic Conference, while the Indians improve to 4-13, 2-6 in SAC play.
The first half was scoreless, but had plenty of action as the Indians started off their attack early when David Bloom had a penalty kick saved by Tornado keeper freshman Jerry Hatsady in the 4th minute. The Tornados notched shots by senior Kyle Hamilton and freshman Miika Kasterinen, but both goalkeepers remained perfect, keeping the score at 0-0 for the half.
In the first half, the Tornados were outshot 6-4. Hatsady made four saves on the Indians' four shots on goal, while Tyler Held made one save on his end.
Junior Ian Townson came out firing for the Tornados in the second half, challenging Held in the 46th minute, but his shot was turned away. The teams swapped shots throughout the remainder of the second half, keeping the goalkeepers busy, but neither team was able to tally a goal on the board to claim victory.
Catawba clinched the game in the first overtime period in the 92nd minute when Bloom's shot was blocked by Hatsady, but the ricochet traveled to Carter Richardson who put the ball in the back of the net to give the Indians a 1-0 victory.
For the game, the Tornados were outshot 16-10. Hatsady collected eight saves for the Tornados, while Held stopped all four Tornado shots on goal in collecting the shutout.

Medical malpractice is one of the most troubling offenses Indiana residents may ever have to face. When you go to see a medical practitioner, you want to trust that you're always in the hands of a caring professional, whether it's for something as complex as heart surgery or as simple as a teeth cleaning. When that trust is broken, the results can leave you severely injured, financially crippled, and not knowing where to turn.
A dentist in Lafayette, Indiana has lost the trust of both his patients and the dentistry community after being found to have a long 'pattern of unethical behavior.' Now the Indiana State Board of Dentistry is permanently revoking his license after it launched an investigation into recent complaints as well as his sordid past, and medical malpractice seemed to be the only consistent factor throughout his career.
The Board looked into multiple complaints against the dentist from 2003 to 2006, before he started to practice in his current Lafayette location. In this time period, they found that he'd squeezed money from his patients by performing multiple unnecessary procedures on them, and on at least two occasions readily admitted to it.
Between May 2008 and June 2009 alone, he settled four medical malpractice claims, only to later lie about them when renewing his license in 2010.
In one particularly heinous act of malpractice, he needlessly pulled 12 teeth from a 7-year-old. And in another disgraceful act, he convinced a woman that she needed to have three teeth pulled as well as treatment on a dozen teeth and for gum disease with a bill totaling over $6,000. Even more audacious, after the expensive procedure he complimented her looks, gave her flowers, and 'asked her husband if he wanted a divorce.' The woman never went back to his office, and was later told by another dentist that the majority of the work he'd done on her was unnecessary.

US Marshals Just Kind of Lost 2K Radios
(NEWSER) – The US Marshals aren't quite sure what happened to some 2,000 of their encrypted two-way radios—gear that's worth at least $6 million, according to one estimate. The agency says the "issue is in large part attributable to poor record-keeping as a result of an older property-management system, as opposed to equipment being lost," the Wall Street Journal reports. Still, officials cite a major problem: "Simply put, the entire system is broken," agents said in a 2011 presentation. "The 800 pound elephant in the room needs to finally be acknowledged."

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (Ivanhoe Newswire) – 13 million Americans over the age of 45 suffers with low vision, including those who've lost vision due to diabetes, macular degeneration or glaucoma. Eyeglasses or contacts usually don't help this type of vision loss, but now a new patented pair of glasses is helping give these patients their ability to read again.
Cheering keeps Alexis London's spirits high.
"It's always exciting, it's always fun to pep up the crowd," Alexis told Ivanhoe.
Even during low points. Last year, Adam Esbenshade, MD, Hematologist/Oncologist at Vanderbilt University, diagnosed her with an inoperable brain tumor along her optic pathway.
"If we're not able to stop the growth of this tumor, it will be a life-threatening situation," Dr. Esbenshade told Ivanhoe.
Alexis' mom, Tammy London, says a year's worth of chemo stopped the growth, but it hasn't been easy.
"Chemo was a really hard road. And watching her lose her eyesight, Tammy told Ivanhoe.
"My sight is pretty much like 20 percent in this eye and pretty much blind in the other eye," Alexis said.
Now, new technology is giving Alexis hope. A special pair of glasses that allows Alexis to do her homework without a magnifying glass.
"It's a lot easier too, then making it big and everything. I can actually read the small print," Alexis explained.
Jeffrey Sonsino, OD, FAAO, Chief Medical Officer, LVR Technology, created the low vision readers. L-e-d lights and prism correction help folks who aren't helped by traditional lenses.
"This came about because we couldn't get people reading the way we wanted them to," Dr. Sonsino told Ivanhoe.
For Alexis, it's just another reason to cheer!
The low vision glasses cost less than $400 and allow Alexis to return to using textbooks at school, instead of highly enlarged text on her iPad.
TOPIC: Giving Alexis Sight: Low Vision Readers
BACKGROUND: According to Vanderbilt University research, 13 million people in the United States have low vision. This includes those who have lost vision due to diabetes, macular degeneration and glaucoma. Low vision is when a patient sees 20/50 or worse in the better seeing eye. The National Institutes of Health says millions of Americans lose some of their sight every year, but low vision is most common in those over age 65. Eyeglasses, contact lenses, medicine and surgery may not help with low vision. Which means it may be difficult to read, shop, cook, write or watch television.
SIGNS/SYMPTOMS: Low vision can be caused by eye diseases or health conditions. Some of these conditions may include age-related macular degeneration, cataract diabetes and glaucoma. Eye injuries and birth defects can also cause low vision. According to the National Institutes of Health, the vision cannot be restored. But, proper treatment and vision rehabilitation can help manage the condition. Even with glasses or contacts, low vision can make it difficult to recognize family and friends' faces. Selecting and matching the color of clothes, seeing clearly with the lights on and reading traffic signals or names of stores can also be difficult with low vision. A comprehensive dilated eye exam can help detect low vision. (Source: https://www.nei.nih.gov/health/lowvision/LivingWithLowVisionBooklet.pdf)
NEW TECHNOLOGY: Low Vision readers use led lights and prism correction to help people who don't have success with traditional lenses. Researchers at Vanderbilt University say the low vision readers enable patients to perform tasks that were nearly impossible like texting and reading without an oversized magnifying glass. The lighted glasses are relatively inexpensive, less than $400. The devices are typically not covered by insurance but they cost less than a regular set of progressive lenses. Patients can use the lighted glasses instead of relying on enlarged text on iPads. Readers improve near vision for those with vision impairment. This new, patented technology overcomes the main factors which prevent individuals with low vision from reading - poor contrast and lighting, magnification, and prism correction. The combination of these elements provides the ideal conditions for near work such as viewing pictures, sewing, identifying labels, writing checks and reading text. (Source:

Jeffrey Sonsino, OD, FAAO, Chief Medical Officer at LVR Technology talks about a new patented pair of glasses that are giving patients their ability to read again.
What do you call these glasses?
Dr. Sonsino: This technology is called: Low Vision Readers.
Can you tell us how these came to be?
Dr. Sonsino: The Low Vision Readers were created when I was working in academic medicine. I was seeing hundreds of low vision patients, patients with vision impairment. There were very few optical devices that they could use very efficiently to be able to read. So I created a pair of glasses that have a lot of magnification with LED lights that are very strong and focus directly on what the patient is reading. They also have something called prism in the glasses to help the patient to focus at a close distance without tiring out. After seeing hundreds of patients with these and prescribing something very similar I created a pair of glasses that was specifically made for the low vision patient.
Can you define low vision?
Dr. Sonsino: Low vision is when a patient sees 20/50 or worse in the better seeing eye. It's always due to some kind of pathology or disease within the eye that's not correctable with glasses, contact lenses or surgery.
I was going to say 20/50 is not that bad.
Dr. Sonsino: Examples of conditions that create low vision are macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy and glaucoma, all of which the glasses will treat and help people to read.
But in Alexis's case it was different.
Dr. Sonsino: Alexis had a problem that was similar to these three conditions but in children. We tried the glasses on and it significantly helped her read.
How do the glasses work?
Dr. Sonsino: The power in the glasses is that it is a very simple device for allowing people with vision impairment to read. As soon as we open the temple the lights come on, there's no on-off switch that people have to fumble with. There was nothing like this on the market and that's why my team created it. There's also power in the lenses that focuses the image at a closer distancethan normal creating significant magnification. The third aspect of the glasses is prism. Prism tricks the brain into thinking that the close reading distance is actually not so close and the eyes therefore don't tire out when people read for long period of time.
What is the prism ?
Dr. Sonsino: The prism is built into the lens and it helps people to sustain their reading for longer periods of time without tiring out.
How big of a need would you say there is for a product like this?
Dr. Sonsino: The need is huge. There's no exact number of patients with low vision in America and worldwide, but estimates range from 14 to 30 million people in the U.S. that would be able to be helped with this kind of technology. Worldwide we're talking about 300 million people.
This is for people with 20/50 vision but it's not correctable in the better seeing eye?
Dr. Sonsino: That's right. Low vision is present when there's some type of pathology in the eyes that is not treatable with glasses, contact lenses or surgery. When reading suffers, we go to low vision devices to help patients function better in their environment.
How did you meet Alexis?
Dr. Sonsino: Alexis came to me about a year ago as a patient. She had extreme difficulty reading and especially with her school work; even with just a phone, she couldn't text. I saw her in my low vision clinic and I prescribed the Low Vision Readers. When she put them on immediately she saw an improvement and she just read away, in fact we have a picture of her showing her phone and it says, I love you daddy. It was the first text that she wrote with the help of the Low Vision Readers help. It was a pretty magical moment.
What does that mean for you to be a part of moments like that?
Dr. Sonsino: It just makes me feel great as a doctor.
How long have they been available?
Dr. Sonsino: We just launched this product at the American Academy of Optometry meeting in September to doctors to have the ability to prescribe this to their patients. They are also available on our website.
What is the cost and is it covered by insurance?
Dr. Sonsino: At this point, no low vision devices are typically covered by insurance. The cost of this device is less than the cost of a regular set of progressive lenses that people would normally purchase at the optometrist's office.
So how much is that?
Dr. Sonsino: Less than four hundred dollars.
What's the advantage of using these over progressive lens?
Dr. Sonsino: The technology that we have in the Low Vision Readers cannot be accomplished in a progressive lens. You can't have high magnification and prism and lighting altogether in a progressive set of glasses. That can only be found in this technology. So the technology is far and above what you can get in regular lenses.
For the millions of people that would need something like this what has been the option up until now has a just been a progressive lenses?
Dr. Sonsino: There are other low vision devices on the market right now. Probably the most famous are handheld magnifiers. These are magnifiers that have lights on them. They're functional except for the fact that they restrict the amount of text that the patient can see through it. So the field of view is very small. Couple that with the fact that you have to hold it with your hand and it becomes a little more difficult than it sounds. And so the reason the Low Vision Readers work so well is that they're simple. The patient merely opens the pair of glasses, puts it on their face and is able to read.
Anything else you think we missed?
Dr. Sonsino: The most important thing with any low vision device is simplicity and we've created a device which we think is simpler to use and easier to use for the patient than anything else out there. The low vision readers are also patented technology.
What did you find in the clinical study?
Dr. Sonsino: The clinical study found an 89.1% improvement in people's reading vision over their standard glasses alone. So we know that it works. The other way that we know it works is when somebody sits on their pair of glasses and breaks, they will not leave my office until we replace it. So we know that they're using it and that they like it.
If someone is interested in these is there a place online that they can order them from or do they have to come to Nashville?
Dr. Sonsino: They can go online to our website at www.lowvisionreaders.com or call toll free 888-509-0910.
How would they contact you?
Dr. Sonsino: They can go to our website www.lowvisionreaders.com or call toll free 888-509-0910..
Is there anything else you wanted to say? Basically you realized there was need for this how?
Dr. Sonsino: We have so many patients with similar characteristics and we couldn't find a device that satisfied their needs. So, necessity is the mother of invention and this came about because we couldn't get people reading the way we wanted them to. And now we finally can.

Exodus changes singers & reunites with Steve Souza
Listen to Exodus on iHeartRadio
Thrash metal band Exodus has a new yet familiar frontman.
Guitarist Gary Holt confirmed that the group recently made the "very difficult choice" to part ways with Rob Dukes. He says he and his bandmates have nothing but love and admiration for Dukes, but they thought "a change was necessary."
Holt says they've now unanimously decided to welcome back singer Steve Souza. Souza was with Exodus in the '80s and early '90s, and again between 2002 and 2004. He says that even though he's been gone for ten years, he spent a great part of his life with Exodus and "you can't erase that chemistry."
Exodus is currently recording the follow-up to its 2010 album Exhibit B: The Human Condition.

Crazy Cravings
They say that cravings during pregnancy are signals from the body that it requires certain vitamins or minerals. For instance, not being a chocolate lover at all beforehand, when pregnant with my second daughter I had crazy cravings for chocolate which is said to be a need for Vitamin B.
Did you (or are you having) any crazy cravings?
28th June 2013 08:26 PM #2
I craved bowlful after bowlful of cereals with lots of milk added. The number of boxes of cereal we got through became quite a joke amongst our friends!
I wonder if it was the need for extra Calcium (for strengthening the baby's growing bones) which caused this craving. It went away as soon as I had the baby.
After birth, I 'craved' (I don't know if this is really the right word to use - obviously it wasn't a pregnancy craving) anything with oats in it. This may be because eating oats helps with your breast milk supply and my body knew this was what it needed. Interesting!

Population-wide parenting study lowers child-abuse injuries, foster placements
A University of South Carolina study shows that key indicators of child maltreatment, such as abuse injuries and foster placements, drop when parents community-wide are offered access to proven parenting interventions.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced publication of the findings in the online edition of Prevention Science Monday (Jan. 26.)
Dr. Ron Prinz at the University of South Carolina led the CDC-funded study. Conducted in 18 South Carolina counties, nine of which were chosen randomly for the parenting intervention, the prevention study was the first to reduce child maltreatment in a test involving several large geographic areas.
Called the Triple P-Positive Parenting Program, which was developed by study co-investigator Dr. Matt Sanders at the University of Queensland, this system of strategies and tools provides parents with multiple levels of parenting support of increasing intensity to match each family's needs. Triple P was made available to parents with children from birth to 12 years throughout each community, not just parents in crisis.
"We didn't single out parents who could be in trouble," Prinz said. "Rather, Triple P provided flexible ways for all parents to get information and support."
The study found that implementing Triple P broadly led to lower rates of confirmed child maltreatment, foster-care placements and child injuries requiring hospital treatment. For the participating communities, which had about 100,000 children under age 8, the observed effects actually meant 688 fewer maltreated children, 240 fewer out-of-home placements and 60 fewer injured children.
"We capitalized on the existing workforces in the intervention counties, expanded the range of workers and practitioners who could provide proven parenting supports and publicized easy access to parenting support," said Sanders.
Triple P revolves around five core principles: ensuring a safe, engaging environment; promoting a positive learning environment; using assertive discipline; maintaining reasonable expectations; and taking care of oneself as a parent. Triple P translates these principles into practical parenting strategies for strengthening parent-child relationships, encouraging positive behavior, teaching new skills, managing misbehaviors and preventing problems in high-risk situations (such as shopping, mealtime, bedtime).
Dr. Dennis Embry, director of the PAXIS Institute in Arizona and an authority on the dissemination and adoption of large-scale programs, said the study has major policy implications.
"For the first time, policymakers nationwide will have the ability to estimate the reduction of child maltreatment that can result from applying a universal system of parenting supports in states, counties and communities," Embry said. "That wasn't possible with prior studies that focused on a small number of highly selected families.
"To give a sense of the impact, if the results of the new study were applied to families with children under age 8 in all 50 states, confirmed cases of child maltreatment could drop by 207,000 annually. Moreover, 73,000 fewer children annually would land in foster care, and 18,000 fewer children would suffer medical injuries from child-maltreatment," Embry said.
Prinz said that the same Triple P interventions for preventing child maltreatment also tackle children's social, emotional and behavioral problems and promote positive development of young children entering school.
"Documented in more than 70 published studies, the Triple P approach has been shown to prevent or reduce these problems in children, freeing them from reliance on medications or other costly therapies," Prinz said. "As a result, the impact on children and families has been positive and lowered the incidence of many costly social and health problems."
Prinz said implementing a community-wide program such as Triple P does not have to be costly to be effective.
"Prevention or reduction of parenting difficulties and serious child problems at a community-wide level does not necessarily require many new staff positions," he said. "In fact, the results of this study and previous studies of Triple P were achieved simply by providing tested and proven tools to a broad range of existing service providers. Costly new systems of care were not needed to achieve significant prevention effects."

Monday Morning Quarterback: The Good, The Bad Of Week 14
The Good
The Bad
New Orleans SaintsCarolina Panthers
The Saints bounced back from a rough game at Seattle to dominate Carolina. Drew Brees was at his best as he completed 30-of-42 passes for 313 yards with four TDs and no interceptions. The Panthers are one of the best defensive teams in the league, but Brees got the best of them in this important victory that gave them sole possession of first place in the NFC South.
Cam Newton tried to assert himself against the veteran Saints on their homefield, but he was not good enough in this game. Newton completed 22-of-34 passes for 160 yards with one TD and no interceptions. Newton will get another shot at the Saints when they travel to Carolina in Week 16.
San Francisco 49ersSeattle Seahawks
The Niners needed to beat their archrivals, and they were able to mount a late drive that gave Phil Dawson a chance to kick the game-winning field goal and he was successful. Colin Kaepernick played resilient football against the powerful Seahawks and he led them to the victory. He completed 15-of-29 passes for 175 yards with one TD and one interception, but he did not make any big mistakes.
The Seahawks gave it a great effort, but they could not beat the 49ers on their homefield. Russell Wilson completed 15-of-25 passes for 199 yards with one TD and an interception, but that was not good enough.
San Diego ChargersNew York Giants
The Chargers are still playoff outsiders, but this was a game they had to have if they wanted to stay in contention. Philip Rivers had no problems taking apart the Giants as he completed 21-of-29 passes for 249 yards with three TDs. He also kept it clean on the interceptions side of the ledger as he was not picked off once.
Eli Manning appeared to be on a slight upswing, but he could not continue that against the Chargers. Manning completed 20-of-32 passes for 149 yards with one TD and two interceptions. The Giants were out of this game by halftime and Manning could not do anything to rally his team against a vulnerable San Diego defense.
Arizona CardinalsSt. Louis Rams
Carson Palmer was razor sharp as he completed 27-of-32 passes for 269 yards with one TD and no interceptions. Palmer was able to pick apart the St. Louis secondary with his accurate throws. After struggling last week against Philadelphia, Palmer was on top of his game against the divisional rival Rams.
Kellen Clemens had opportunities to get the Rams into this game, but he struggled and never looked comfortable. He completed 16-of-27 passes for 181 yards with no touchdowns and just one interception.
Denver BroncosTennessee Titans
This time it was the Broncos that played come-from-behind football. Peyton Manning may have started slowly, but he completed 39-of-59 passes for 397 yards with four TDs and the Broncos ran away from the Titans in the second half.
Ryan Fitzpatrick is gutsy and he completed 13-of-24 passes for 172 yards with one touchdown. However, he also threw an interception and he was unable to lead the Titans consistently in the second half.
Green Bay PackersAtlanta Falcons
The Packers managed to get back to the .500 mark (6-6-1) with the win, and backup quarterback Matt Flynn did just enough to help his team get the win. While he has looked overwhelmed at times, Flynn completed 24-of-32 passes for 258 yards with one TD and one interception as he led Green Bay back from a 21-10 deficit to the victory.
Matt Ryan appeared to have the Falcons on track for their second consecutive win as he completed 20-of-35 passes for 206 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. However, the Falcons could not score a point after halftime and Ryan must bear much of the responsibility for that.
Kansas City ChiefsWashington Redskins
The Chiefs got back on the winning track as they destroyed the Redskins. While much of the carnage came as a result of horrid special teams play by Washington, Kansas City quarterback Alex Smith was cool and calm as he completed 14-of-20 passes for 137 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions.
The Redskins have the look of a team that can't wait for its season to end. Robert Griffin III was 12-of-26 for 164 yards with one TD and one interception and could not spark his team to put up a competitive effort.
Tampa Bay BuccaneersBuffalo Bills
This was not a quarterback's game, but Tampa Bay's Mike Glennon was less destructive than his Buffalo counterpart E.J. Manuel. Glennon completed just 9-of-25 passes for 90 yards with two TDs and two interceptions.
This is one game that Manuel will not want to look at again. While he completed 18-of-33 passes for 184 yards, he did not throw a TD pass and he had four interceptions.
Miami DolphinsPittsburgh Steelers
The Dolphins are trying to mount a rally for the last playoff spot in the AFC after their midseason slump. Quarterback Ryan Tannehill performed well in the snow as he completed 20-of-33 passes for 200 yards with three TDs and just one interception. He had a 48-yard run that sparked his teammates and let them know they could compete and win in bad-weather conditions.
The Steelers seemed to have all the advantages at home in the snow, but they couldn't do enough to get the win. Some of this must fall on Ben Roethlisberger, even though he had a solid game by completing 23-of-39 passes for 349 yards with three TDs.
Philadelphia EaglesDetroit Lions
Nick Foles threw his first interception of the season, but once again there was no panic to his game. He completed 11-of-22 passes for 179 yards with one TD and an interception but he did not panic as the Eagles and Lions played in a driving snowstorm. Foles also ran for a TD and seemed to play relaxed football in leading his team to a come-from-behind win.
The Lions seemed to panic in the snow as quarterback Matthew Stafford fumbled five times and looked like a lost soul. He completed 10-of-25 passes for 148 yards and many of his throws were of the wounded duck variety.
New York JetsOakland Raiders
Start the investigation because Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith actually had a fine game. After falling badly in recent weeks, Smith completed 16-of-25 passes for 219 yards with one TD and one interception. He also ran effectively, picking up 50 rushing yards and a TD.
Matt McGloin was not awful, but he did not do enough in a winnable game for the Raiders. McGloin completed 18-of-31 passes for 245 yards with two TDs and one interception.
New England PatriotsCleveland Browns
Tom Brady continued his strange pattern of winning games from behind. The Pats rallied for the third straight game to record a near-miraculous win over the Bills. Brady completed 32-of-52 passes for 418 yards with two TDs and one interception. He threw the winning TD pass to Danny Amendola with 31 seconds to play.
Jason Campbell had to be crestfallen after performing brilliantly for the Browns. His team came up short when it could not recover an onside kick in the final minute. Campbell 29-of-44 passes for 391 yards with three TDs and no interceptions.
Cincinnati BengalsIndianapolis Colts
Andy Dalton was on top of his game as the Bengals rolled to the win over the Colts. Despite harshly cold temperatures, Dalton completed 24-of-35 passes for 275 yards with three TDs and no interceptions.
Andrew Luck had a brilliant statistical game as he threw for 326 yards with four TDs and no interceptions. However, the Colts had to play from far behind throughout the game, and the stats were not meaningful. Luck is being slowed down by offensive coordinator Pep Hamilton's shaky gameplans.
Baltimore RavensMinnesota Vikings
Joe Flacco may take a lot of criticism, but he finds a way to win games with strong performances in the fourth quarter. He did it against the Vikings as he threw for 245 yards and three TDs in the spectacular win over the Vikings. His game-winning TD pass to Marlon Brown allowed the Ravens to remain in the driver's seat for a playoff berth.
Not much to complain about with Matt Cassel, as he had the Vikings on the verge of an impressive road win despite the loss of running back Adrian Peterson (foot). Cassel completed 17-of-38 passes for 265 yards with two TDs and he did not throw an interception. Cassel played well, but he could not lead his team to the win.
Jacksonville JaguarsHouston Texans
The Jaguars have been playing some respectable football in the second half of the season, and Chad Henne is one of the reasons. While he is not a star, he never seems to get overwhelmed. He completed just 12-of-27 passes for 117 yards, but he did not throw any interceptions and he had two TD passes.
This game marked the end of Gary Kubiak's coaching tenure in Houston. The powers that be in Houston did not approve of Kubiak putting Matt Schaub into the game in place of Case Keenum. Both quarterbacks were ordinary in this game, and that's not good enough to get a win in the NFL.
