Excellent service... seamless.
Couldn't fault the service and actual repair by this garage. I applied for and was contacted out of hours with a quote which I thought was great. As promised my car was collected the following morning, the clutch replaced and my car delivered back to me that same day. Perfect service, repair and price. Will deffo recommend and use again.
"I couldn't recommend him highly enough"
Highly recommended! Excellent job - picked vehicle up when they said they would and returned it when they said. Also gave a lot of feedback on the general condition of the vehicle. Fast, friendly service at an excellent price. Definitely be going back for any further work when it's required.
Replaced my clutch no issues at all. Would highly recommend this place
Great service from this Garage. Very personable staff great information and explanation every step of the way. As a single woman did not feel unsure of honest quote which happens frequently and in fact felt very secure throughout the repair. Will certainly use again and would definitely recommend them. Thank you VRS.
Very efficient
Oil change fine. Follow-up jobs to hand brake and calipers were a joke. Returned twice to get hand brake sorted and ended up having to go somewhere else. And calipers were put on rear wheels shoddily. Had to return as wheels were hot. Pins were discovered as being disintegrated on all four calipers by another garage - how they didn't notice that I have no idea. The oil change was fine though.
well where do I start with my praise for everyone at VRS REPAIR SERVICES who go that extra mile to put their customers first, after being totally ripped off quote wise by the big high street exhaust companies one of which refused my car because the manifold bolts were seized,VRS came to my help within minutes of posting on the site, cost was quarter than the high street exhaust places and an extremely fast turnaround. before paying any expensive high street fitting centre costs give VRS a call you will not be dissappointed, am so pleased to find these guys. VRS = VALUE RELIABLE SERVICE. Thank you VRS your a credit to the auto trade
I had Brian having a look at my car on Thursday and he was brilliant! I would chose them again.
Robin answered our message late hours of Friday night and was here by 4pm on the Saturday to fix the problem!! Needed it fixed asap for my parents to drive back home from Newcastle to wales the next day!! Highly recommend this company and will definitely use again!! Thank you
Spot on. Great communication. Honest advice and solid work. Can't fault the lad.
He did a great job. I would certainly use again in future. A+
good price and good work.
Champion, everything was good!
Hard to locate the garage. Did a good job. Happy with the service.
amazing the guys were very understantmding and didn't rip me off so happy :) thank you
Everything went perfect. They did a brilliant job
Steve and the team at Britannia made an excellent job of my car service and MOT. Steve gave friendly and professional advice on my car and as a result it now drives like new. Cannot thank them enough. Great job at a great price. I will be back.
Steve got back to me with a quote extremely quickly and happily answered any queries I had regarding the price. for example the original quote was £160 which I thought was extremely cheap, I asked a question whether everything was included in the price but the discs were not. this meant the price increased slightly but it was still by the cheapest price by far at £225. I was most impressed when I was offered a brand new courtesy car while mine was having work done, which is a real bonus! all in all the job ended up costing £358 upon the discovery that a calliper needed replacing also, I was more than happy to pay the extra on top of the quote as I was told in good time that it was needed. I found the guys very helpful and easy to deal with and the discovery of an Easter egg and mug after picking my car up made it that bit sweeter..... nice touch!
An excellent service ... great communications, everything explained simply, flexible and a superb courtesy car. Couldn't recommend them enough!
Bang on!! Price quoted was the price I paid. They inspected my front discs and pads and said they were fine, no need to replace. Hire car was spot on and a nice little touch giving it to me free of charge for being a first time customer although the £10 charge it would have been, is a good price. Would thoroughly recommend.
Excellent customer service with Steve Martin (owner/manager). I've owned Audi A3's for many years now and used a flexible long-life service with Main Dealer, but find them very expensive these days. Britannia Auto Centre provided same service and uses Original Equipment parts/dealership recommended lubricants etc. and I was highly impressed with their efficiency and with a courtesy car provided too. Would not hesitate to use for future services/MOT's. K.Walton. 28.04.2016.
Great service picked up the same day.
Excellent service really friendly and helpful
Great price, great service. All work done as expected. Would definitely use again.
Had van in for a fulk service. Excellent customer service. Would definitely use again
Great easy friendly service. Maybe health check sheet might be helpful... life span of tyres etc. But can't fault work or service. Thank you v much for collecting my car too
An Exhaust is a pipe at the back of a car that performs four tasks: noise reduction, diverting waste gases away from the driver and passengers, improving performance and reducing fuel consumption. The Catalytic Converter removes harmful gases such as Carbon Monoxide, and noise is reduced by the Silencer (or 'muffler'.) Finally on Diesel cars, a 'Diesel Particulate Filter' (or DPF) captures tiny soot particles before they leave the exhaust pipe.
Car exhaust repair is a service which can be priced at a varety of levles. This is due to the fact that there are a number of things which could go wrong. For example, exhaust hole repair will vary as the size of the damage will be unique to your car and so the cost of exhaust replacement or exhaust pipe repair cannot be predicted, you simply need to get a personal quote from local garages using WhoCanFixMyCar!

Boy, 6, Helps in ISIS Beheading of Captives for New Propaganda Video
A new propaganda video released by ISIS shows a little boy, age 6, taking part in the beheading of captives — a stark show of the brutality and evil of the terror group.
The boy isn't shown helping cut off the heads — simply passing out the knives used in the beheadings. But his presence in the video is eerie in and of itself.
He's shown wearing a black head covering and camo gear. He actually gives a short speech, looking at the camera lens, while somberly holding the two knives. He then passes off the knives to the killers.
From the Daily Post:
"With the blade balanced in his hands, he asks that the terrorists who butcher the victims are given peace by the Prophet Muhammad and Allah before delivering the chilling line, 'The infidel and his killer never meet in hell.'
"Two executioners then walk past him and each takes a knife before beheading their prisoners in Syria.
"In the footage, they can both be seen pushing victims along a path in the rocky countryside.
"It is not clear from the video what supposed crimes the prisoners are said to have committed against Islamic State.
"After being frog-marched through a stream, they are pushed face down into the water before being beheaded by two terrorists wearing black cloaks and masks."
Pamela Geller's shocking new book, "FATWA: HUNTED IN AMERICA" is now available on Amazon. It's Geller's tell all, her story - and it's every story - it's what happens when you stand for freedom today. Buy it. Now. Here.

Last Updated: Aug 30, 2013, 10:11 AM IST

She will share screen space with actress Kerry Washington.
`Scandal` is said to be Kudrow`s biggest television commitment ever since `Friends`, a 10-year-long franchise, came to an end in 2004.

In the forthcoming season, the show focusses on Pope`s crisis management firm and its involvement in White House government affairs.

Diggin' this tea; it's bolder and far different in taste from some other Oolongs I've recently steeped. That might sound redundant – saying this tea tastes different from other teas – but as much as I enjoy Oolongs, sometimes I have trouble distinguishing between the subtle differences and varietals (the first thing that often comes to mind is Tigyuanyin when drinking Oolongs).
Hence, I appreciate this Oolongs' clear divide and uniqueness in taste.
Subtlety sweet roasted barley sums up well the first steep for me.
I would buy this tea again

Which oil for CDM4 mechs?
Hi there.
There have been a few references in the past to re-oiling the CDM4/19 (etc) mechs but nothing concrete. Someone mentioned clock oil a while back but what actually IS this? What viscocity etc?
I have a CDM4/22 in a Naim CDI which is working/tracking fine but the motor is slightly noisey now so I need to re-oil it. Can anyone recommend a suitable oil for this - something I might be able to buy easily at Halfords or similar here in the UK? Would good old 3-in-1 be OK or is this too thick for the motor?
Many thanks.
- John
Whatever you do, DONT use 3-in-1. It's a heavy, low-grade base oil diluted with kerosene (for penetrating qualities) - so it eventually dries out into a sticky, gungy mess :(
I've heard of using a good quality synthetic oils in other motors (eg Mobil-1 - if you have some lying about already for your car)
Hi - many thanks for your reply. Sorry so late in replying but I haven't gotten around to dismantling my CDI yet.
So would Mobil-1 be OK for oiling the motor as well, or would I need some light grease for the thrust pad here?
- John
If you desire something fast and easy, get a small flask of oil for oil-free air compressors and air tools.
Plenty of places where you can buy it, an automobile parts and tools shop will have it.
john - I've used Mobil1 on CD motors (inc. the CDM9 in my Naim CD2) with no problem.
It only takes the merest drop, applied with a needle or similar - the stuff is thin and will creep anywhere, usually unwanted! I havent looked at teh thrust pad, but a light grease would make sense eg silicone-based - oil based ones are likely to attack the plastic.
Are you sure that it's the motor causing the noise? It's more likely to be the disc clamp.
According the service manuals I have, the only things that should be lubricated in a Philips CDM are the two ball bearings that the swing arm pivots on. The recommended lubricant for that is "silicon oil 1000cts".
As the CDM has been in use for about 15 years now I just assumed the motor bearing thrust pad might need lubricating now? Perhaps the transport is a little noisey compared to modern units. It's working fine at any rate.
I may just lubricate the ball bearing on the swing arm and leave it at that next time I have the machine apart for whatever reason.
Thanks for all the suggestions guys - much appreciated :)
- John
Agreed. Clean the clamp and the ball and relube, you could use something as daft as a wee bit of petrolium jelly. If there is a little indentation in the pressure plate, sand it a little with very fine sand paper until the dent is no more.
If this has never been done on a wel used CDM4/19 I can almost guarantee a better sound afterwards too....
While you are there fill the clamp honeycomb with blue tack or similar.
The mech used in my Naim CDI is - I believe - the CDM 4/22. It uses a lightweight magnetic clamp to hold the discs, not the usual disc tray type ala Phillips. It's a top loading machine.
The only two points which I believe may need attention are the laser swing arm pivot, and the motor bearing thrust pad. Reckon after 15 years of use I should give both a check and - if required - a lube.

SEEING the inside of someone's office is like peeking into their soul - are they super-tidy, organised work-addicts who filed their way to the top of the food chain? Or are the successful too busy to clean and work in an abyss of papers, reports and post-its of every colour?
Here's a sneak peek into the souls of three Australian success stories:
Jacki Bresic is the General Manager of the International Fashion Group, and says she likes to keep her office bright and functional.
At just 30 years of age, Jacki Bresic is the General Manager of the International Fashion Group, a top fashion agency representing some of the world's most popular brands.
Everything is orderly, neat, and exactly where it should be in Jacki Bresic's urban Sydney office. It is bright and airy, functional and covered in pictures of beautiful people wearing beautiful things - and everything serves a purpose. That's what four years of a torturous, yet utterly rewarding MBA have taught her - to be efficient, organised and visualise her goals to reality.
"Sitting on my desk is my huge 23 inch Mac, iPhone that is constantly ringing and beeping, and iPad - God knows why I need them all, but I do," she says.
"Then there's my Moleskin desk diary, my Hermes "thinkpad" notebook, my small Rhodia notebook for meetings out of office - and four different types of notebooks depending on the task.
"What can I say - I love writing and being organised. There's something about writing a task and crossing it off the list!"
MBA folders stand proudly between perfectly-stacked piles of luxurious magazines and shelves filled with favourite fashion bibles. Deliciously scented relaxant candles also make an appearance, perfect for creating a calm, creative and conducive work environment.
In the corner is a mini globe, representative of constant jet-setting (Europe, the States and South East Asia mostly), and walls are lined with her brand's latest campaign shots, to always keep her mind on the job - and admiring her wares.
"The wall in front of me has my yearly financial goals and what I need to achieve each month - that helps me visualise what I have to achieve," she says.
"To get my mind into a positive think-space, I also have my favourite motivational life quotes right where I can see them, all the time.
"They include "You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose and to do so fearlessly!" - they mean a lot to me and have shaped the way I approach my career and work tasks."
Preaching corporate wellness, NSW entrepreneur Georgie Drury knows all too well the importance of having a healthy office. The busy mum founded Springday, an online health and wellness tool for time-poor Aussies needing a virtual personal trainer. And don't we all?
Experts have labelled sitting the 'smoking of our generation', with office workers stationary for an average 9.3 hours a day - more than we sleep. With that in mind, a big focus for Georgie Drury's office is good ergonomics - and being on the move as much as possible.
"Since Springday's focus is wellness and we power the 'AGL Wellbeing Hub' (agl.myspringday.com.au) we need to practice what we preach - wellness at work and home," she says.
"It's important to have an ergonomically sound chair and footstool - I work on iMac and also have a Macbook air with a stand, keyboard and mouse.
"I also try and practice 'desk yoga' with lots of stretching and only have a glass of water on my desk so I can constantly get up and fill it up - another way I can keep moving as much as possible."
Natural light and fresh air fill the bright room that is adorned with family photos and canvas' of ski holidays - all the inspiration Ms Drury needs to be efficient and excel in her workplace.
"I have lists, lists and more 'to do lists' all over my office so I can always be sure I am achieving what I need to do each day," she says.
"While I do work online and use many online apps and calendars, I like having handwritten to do lists - with points done in different coloured pens. I even try and map our my day with time allocated to even the littlest things - like a 30 minute lunch break, away from my desk."
Ms Drury says music is essential (anything from old jazz to top 20) and loves having her entire personality around her.
"It is organised - I hate a messy space. Although I do have 'piles' of books that I am wanting to read (from Outliers to Save Our Sleep) - and my knitting needles handy when I need to take 10 minute out - and of course a nail file!"
Like most real estate professionals, Century 21 CEO of Home Loans James Green lives by the clichéd homage 'location, location, location' - and his office, in the heart of Sydney's CBD, is just that.
Overlooking a park near Sydney's Wynyard Station, the office of Century 21 CEO James Green is prime real estate at its finest. Big, bright windows take advantage of the prized CBD view and the feel is open, airy and fresh. With stark white walls and furniture - apart from his high-back, black leather and utterly ergonomic desk chair - it is minimal in style, but buzzing with excitement.
"We have a really amazing atmosphere," Green says.
"Music is one of the real mood-setters. We like a playful, noisy environment that is high-energy and always positive.
"Music helps people relax in the comfortable environment and really come out of their shells to be the best person they can be at work.
"We even have acoustic guitars lying around - so if anyone needs motivation or inspiration, they just pick one up and have the whole office humming with energy before you know it - it's a really unique way to boost morale and set the tone for a great day in the office."
Proudly displayed are trophies and photographs of Green accepting awards, his face on the cover of magazines and at the international conferences that catapulted his career into the big league.
"I believe displaying them is good Feng Shui and I'm proud of what we have accomplished," he says.
"It reminds me why I'm here - as do the pictures of my wife and son, and that's a really important motivator for me."
Green swears by a clean, tidy, organised office and says it's important for his team to feel comfortable in the space.
"A messy office distracts you, and doesn't allow you to think clearly about what you need to achieve," he says.
"It has to be an approachable, honest place where people like to be, and excel."

Once the Yankees confirmed that Phil Hughes was their choice for the final spot in the starting rotation, it took about 14 seconds for people to start asking what they planned for Joba Chamberlain during the 2010 season. He's going to the bullpen, that much is clear, but you got very different answers about what he'd be doing out there depending on who you ask.
Here's Brian Cashman speaking to Anthony Rieber of Newsday (subscription required) and signaling that Joba will be ready to jump into a starting role if needed.
"He's a starter in the bullpen. He can do both. He's a starter who was just beaten out in the competition. That's what we honestly believe, but we only had one spot."
Following that logic, if a second spot opened up Chamberlain would be under consideration to fill it. Someone forgot to tell that to pitching coach Dave Eiland, though. He went on the radio Thursday and said that he thought it was highly unlikely that Chamberlain would make any starts this season. What's more, Eiland also said that Chamberlain needs to earn a high-profile assignment in the bullpen.
If he isn't able to pull that off, they should send him to AAA where he can be a starter. Using Chamberlain as a long reliever on a team that already has Alfredo Aceves and Sergio Mitre would make absolutely no sense. The entire crux of the argument for Chamberlain as a starter, one that Cashman makes above, is that starting pitchers are more valuable than relievers. Relievers who pitch in high leverage situations, i.e. not long relievers, do have value and if Joba's in the big leagues he should be in that role.
A long relief role might do more to keep him in line for a spot start or promotion to the rotation if the situation called for it, but moving him to AAA would make managing his progress and keeping him in line much easier. This would be an awfully difficult sell to the fans, media and probably Chamberlain himself, but if the Yankees still believe he's a starting pitcher they should treat him as such.
Under the current circumstances, Chamberlain would have to transition back to a starting role next spring and he'd have to do it without ever having a full year as a starting pitcher under his belt. At some point that transition is going to stop making much sense for player and team and that point is a lot closer today than it was when Spring Training began.

Neil Lennon's future 'unclear' as former Celtic boss is linked to West Brom and Norwich
Neil Lennon claims he has "no idea" what the future holds for him after leaving Celtic.
The 42-year-old former club captain stepped down on Thursday having led the club to three Scottish Premiership titles during his four-year spell in charge.
Lennon has been linked with a number of jobs south of the border but insisted he had nothing in place as he left Glasgow.
Asked for his future plans, Lennon said on Sky Sports News: "I've no idea. A holiday, hopefully. I'm away with the club tomorrow for the Champions League final and then I'll take the family away for a bit of R & R."
While his immediate future remains unclear, Lennon said he made the decision to leave Parkhead after careful consideration.
"I think it's a really good time to go," he said. "The club's in great health and I just felt that, after long consideration, four years as a manager of Celtic in a very intense atmosphere has been fantastic for me. I never dreamt when I took over the job I'd be in this position now.
"There's been a lot of consideration. This is not a knee-jerk reaction. It's been going on for a while and it's the toughest decision of my life."
Lennon has said he will help Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell pick the man to replace him.
In a statement released earlier in the day, Lennon said: "Serving the club was always a privilege. I have always given my best and aimed to do all I can to ensure success for Celtic, as a supporter it was all I wanted.

Neil Lennon backs Henrik Larsson for Celtic job
"I will now assist the club in appointing my successor. As ever, we will need our fans' support and I am sure they will give the club and the new manager the same great backing which they gave to myself."
Former Hoops idol Henrik Larsson has been installed as the bookmakers' favourite, but there is backing too for fellow Parkhead old boys Malky Mackay and Paul Lambert.
But while the bookies seem convinced Larsson will be the next man to take over at 'Paradise', the Swede played down the suggestions.
The retired striker - now in charge of Falkenberg in his homeland - told the Daily Record: "I understand that I always will be linked with the job in Celtic after my years in the club as a player.
"Of course I can see myself as manager of Celtic and to go there in the future. But my focus now is on Falkenberg. Nothing else."

Season 3 finale Part 2
Please note: The Season 3 premiere and last night's Season 3 finale were both two hours—or two episodes—long on PBS, but aired as individual episodes when they originally aired in the UK last fall. So last night's episode was known as Episode 6 on PBS but was episodes 7 and 8 in the UK when these recaps were originally written. Apologies for any confusion.
Editor's note: If you are spoiled for events beyond this episode, please do NOT post those spoilers in the comments—this recap is the place to discuss what has happened through this episode and no further. Series 3 aired in the fall in the U.K. and is airing now as Season 3 in the U.S.
Need a refresher? Don't miss Naz Keynejad's recaps of the Series 3 premiere, episode 3.02, episode 3.03, episode 3.04, episode 3.05, episode 3.06, and last week's episode 3.07. And now, onto the recap for the Downton Abbey Series 3 finale, episode 8:
This was a fun episode, but I don't feel that it packed enough of a punch for a finale. I know there's a Christmas special as well, so maybe they're saving some of it for that episode.
Anyway, we start with Molesley and his dad surveying a field for a cricket match between the household and the village teams. This should be fun! As the team captain for the household staff, Lord G. is determined that his team win, since apparently, they were "thrashed" by the village the year prior. Matthew has vowed to play, if only to avenge the bitter defeat of last year, and Tom is refusing to play, claiming that contrary to what Lord G. might believe, he's actually never played a game of cricket in his life.
The family's getting a visitor! Violet's niece and godchild is sending her daughter Rose to stay with the Dowager, because apparently, the young girl really doesn't like London. As Isobel points out, it seems a bit odd that a young woman who finds London lacking would prefer spending time with her great aunt in the country, so I guess we'll have to wait and see what sort of mischief young Rose brings with her. Isobel: "I couldn't manage an 18-year old, not these days. I wouldn't know what she was talking about!"
Violet: "My husband was a great traveler, so I've spent many happy evenings without understanding a word. The thing is to keep smiling, and never look as if you disapprove!"
Meanwhile, Mary's been to London to visit with her doctor and she has a hush-hush meeting with Cora to discuss it, when Matthew walks in and interrupts them. I have a feeling this has to do with her getting pregnant. I don't think she's trying not to, I think there actually might be a problem. I hope not! And, Edith is busy writing her columns for the paper and seems to be very happy with her new occupation.
Matthew's pretty excited about the cricket game; he feels that it would be a good way to show Robert how the old traditions can remain intact, while the estate is run in a more modern way, more like a business. He asks Mary to help him persuade her father that this is the best way. Just as things start to heat up between them, she tells him that he can't really go any further than kissing, claiming that the trip to London has made her tired. Okay. There is definitely something wrong with her.
Downstairs, Carson lays down the law for Thomas. Basically, the offer is that Thomas resign "voluntarily" using Bates's return as an excuse. Poor Thomas (I never thought I'd feel this sorry for him), seems to accept and steps out to dress his Lordship for dinner one last time. O'Brien is still not done with her scheming, however. She encourages James to speak out about how "disgusted" he was by Thomas' behavior, and cautions that if he doesn't, then no one will believe that he didn't want the attention. She tells him that he should threaten to go to the police unless Mr. Carson guarantees Thomas be dismissed with no reference. Wow! I guess hell hath no fury like O'Brien!
Violet takes Rose (who seems a bit flighty) along with her to the Crawley House for a visit, and to deliver responses to the advertisements she placed on behalf of Ethel. Isobel is still pretty upset about the whole thing.
Isobel: "Cousin Violet is trying to find a new job for my cook."
Rose: "Well, that sounds rather inconvenient."
Isobel: "Cousin Violet has never let a matter of inconvenience stand in the way of a principle."
Violet: "As the kettle said to the pot."
Regardless, Isobel finally has the conversation with Ethel and gives her the responses to the ad. Sadly, Ethel doesn't find any of the offers to her liking, except one, which is just too close to where the Bryants live, and of course, she doesn't want to be in too close a proximity with her son, if she can't really be with him.
Once Violet finds out about this, she doesn't let it go. She invites Mrs. Bryant to the Dowager house, and asks Isobel and Ethel to visit. Mrs. Bryant assures Ethel that they would have no problems with her living close to Charlie. She tells Isobel that she'll handle Mr. Bryant when the time comes. And so, Ethel gets a job close to her son and is able to start fresh. Nice ending to her story.
Meanwhile, James takes O'Brien's advice, and approaches Mr. Carson, who is horrified that James would even consider causing a scandal and contacting the police about the "incident." James doesn't back down and tells Carson that he won't "turn a blind eye to sin," and is going to proceed with his plans to report Thomas to the authorities, unless Carson agrees to write a bad reference, and basically prevent Thomas from finding a good job in someone else's house. Thomas is devastated that after ten years of service, he's going to be turned out without any reference. He wants to tell Lord G. about it, but Carson reminds him that he really can't, unless he wants to tell the whole story. Oh, poor Thomas!
Mrs. Hughes finds Thomas crying outside in the rain later that evening and convinces him to tell her what's been going on. Afterwards, she tries to talk Mr. Carson out of sending Thomas out in such a horrible way. She also tells him of her suspicions that James might have (inadvertently) been leading Thomas on. The entire conversation makes Carson very uncomfortable, and he reminds Mrs. Hughes that if they don't give in to James's threat, Thomas could end up in jail. I'm sure Mrs. Hughes is going to come up with something to save Thomas.
Over dinner, the family's trying to figure out ways to "amuse" Rose while she's staying with the Dowager, and Robert suggests Edith take her to the market in Whitby. Edith, unfortunately, is not available since she's going up to London to meet with her editor, and Rose immediately jumps at the chance to go with her. Seems the claims of her not liking London have been exaggerated by her mama. She does this whole (pretty thin) song and dance about how she needs to go to London to arrange a surprise for her mother, and asks the family not to give her away. Oh good grief!
Matthew decides to tag along, much to Edith's relief. She's worried about being able to handle Rose. They're all going to stay with Rosamund. What could possibly go wrong, I ask sarcastically? The next day, Mary asks Edith to make sure Matthew doesn't catch an earlier train back home, but won't tell her why. Hm. The plot thickens!
Oh how nice! Bates and Anna have been given a cottage. Yay! It's a bit run-down, but it's so cute to see them in their own home. Finally, it seems like these two are getting a break. That night, Thomas pays Bates an unexpected visit outside the cottage, and hints at being in trouble without divulging too much. Bates had seen (and maybe overheard?) O'Brien's earlier conversation with James, and Thomas' strange comment gets him thinking. He talks it over with Anna and decides to find out what's happening from Mrs. Hughes.
Mrs. Hughes tells Bates everything, and he shares his suspicions that someone must've put James up to this with Mr. Carson. Meanwhile, James continues to make a fuss downstairs about Thomas still being around. The rest of the staff has begun to suspect that something's not quite right with the situation, but James just keeps telling them to "keep their nose out of it." Finally, Bates decides to let Lord G. in on the situation, and actually, Robert's pretty blasé about the whole thing.
Lord G.: "If I shouted blue murder every time someone tried to kiss me at Eaton, I'd have gone hoarse in a month! What a tiresome fellow."
Bates: "It's not the boy's fault, my Lord. He's being whipped up. Told if he doesn't see it through, we'd all suspect him of batting for the same team. "
Lord G.: "Who'd do that? Who's got it in for Barrow?"
Bates: "Miss O'Brien."
Uh-oh. Now the secret is out and you know Robert's going to tell Cora about this, who is then going to confront O'Brien, and we get to watch her squirm her way out of it. Who would've thought that Bates would go this far to save Thomas? Nicely done.
Over in London, Edith meets with her editor, Michael Gregson, who likes her "mature female voice," in tackling issues like the soldiers' plight—issues most women wouldn't necessarily concern themselves with. This guy is clearly enamored with Edith. I don't know if she realizes it, but he is totally smitten!
As suspected, Rose is up to no good. She takes advantage of Edith and Matthew's absence and sneaks off in a cab to meet with her lover. She makes the cab driver wait for a couple of hours while they get…er…reacquainted, and then goes off to some club. The cabbie goes back to Rosamund's house, ostensibly to return Rose's scarf, but proceeds to give them all the happenings of the day in great detail. Matthew, Rosamund, and Edith all rush to the club (which Matthew refers to as "the outer circle of Dante's inferno"), and find Rose, drunk, and making out with "Terence," a married man, who is clearly having a pretty sordid affair with Rose while his wife is away in the country. Turns out that he also works for Rose's father, cousin "Shrimpy." Matthew drags Rose away for a dance and finds out that Rose is being duped with a pretty standard scheme: Terence claims that his wife is horrible, and that he wants to divorce her (but it's just so complicated, really!) and marry Rose. So, Matthew offers Rose an out if she agrees to leave the club immediately and never see this Terence guy again. Matthew also gets Rosamund and Edith to keep everything to themselves, but promises that if Rose makes one false move, he'll personally let her mother know everything.
It turns out that Matthew's reason for wanting to tag along was really to go see the doctor and get checked out. Of course, as fate would have it, the minute he leaves the doctor's office, he runs into "Mrs. Levinson," i.e. Mary, who's there to see the doctor herself. Aha! So this is why she didn't want Matthew to catch an earlier train back home. She wanted to sneak in and out of London with him none the wiser. Apparently, she's been seeing the doctor for a while, and actually had an operation (which is why she was avoiding having sex), to fix some sort of problem.
Back home, Violet overhears Edith telling Rose that she needs to stop reading romance novels that make feistiness an admirable quality, so she figures out that something must've happened in London. In her own, typically sneaky way, she worms the whole thing out of Rose, by hinting that she's going to be sent to Scotland with her aunt Agatha after her visit at Downton. Rose breaks down and in a fit, asks who told her mother about Terence. Of course, Violet doesn't let her get away with it and tells her that regardless of who Terence is, Rose is being sent to Scotland, accompanied by Violet's maid, and will abide by her mother's wishes until she's old enough to be out of their "power." We find out later that Violet ferreted the details of Rose's escapade out of Rosamund by telling her that Edith had spilled the beans already! Classic maneuvering by a master schemer! I love sneaky Violet!
Matthew and Tom approach Robert about their management schemes, and Robert goes ballistic. He thinks their methods are too direct and severe, and suggests they invest some capital, and make changes gradually. He even mentions going in with a "chap in America," a Mr. Charles Ponzi, who can triple any investment money in 90 days! Ha ha ha ha … oh Robert! Tempers run high until Mary, and then Cora step in and basically tell Robert that his old way of doing things isn't going to work. Robert reluctantly agrees, and decides to "take a backseat" in the management of the estate.
The next morning at breakfast, as soon as Matthew heads out, Tom takes the opportunity to try and get Robert to see reason.
Tom: "Every man or woman who marries into this house, every child born into it, has to put their gifts at the family's disposal. I'm a hard worker, and I have some knowledge of the land. Matthew knows the law and the nature of business."
Robert: "Which I do not."
Tom: "You understand the responsibilities we owe to the people around here. Those who work for the estate and those that don't. It seems to me, if we could manage to pool all of that, if we each do what we can do, then Downton has a real chance."
Go Tom! Robert agrees to think about it, on the condition that Tom play in the cricket match! During a break in the game, Matthew asks Robert if he's given it any thought, and Robert finally agrees to do things Matthew's way.
In the meantime, suspecting that Mr. Gregson was flirting with her, Edith does the smart thing and decides to check up on him. She finds out that he's married, and goes up to London to confront him and offer her resignation. But, it turns out that it's not at all what it looks like. Michael's wife is in an asylum. Sadly, he can't get a divorce, so he's stuck being lonely for the rest of his life. He asks her to reconsider her resignation. Sadly, we don't see her response to his request!
Downstairs, Bates approaches Thomas and tells him of his suspicions, wondering if there is anything Thomas can use against O'Brien. Thomas is a bit shocked that Bates is on his side in this, but he's basically given up. Bates, on the other hand, is not so easily dissuaded. He doesn't like the unfairness of it all and tries to convince Thomas to do something, anything, to at least be able to leave with a good recommendation. When Thomas demurs, Bates tells him that all he has to do is give him "the weapon," and he'll "do the work." We find out later that all Thomas gave Bates was the phrase, "her Ladyship's soap."
So, Bates invites O'Brien over to the cottage (over Anna's slight objection) and tells her to convince James to drop the nonsense about reporting Thomas to the police, and allow Mr. Carson to write Thomas a reference. She declines, and as she gets up, Bates whispers in her ear. Clearly upset and visibly shaken, she leaves after Bates tells her to "sort it out by this evening," or risk her secret revealed. The plan is a success, and O'Brien manages to get James to change his mind about the reference. Bates tells Lord G. that James has given up his threat, and Robert suggests they keep Thomas on, and find him a job. Okay, this was not what Bates wanted!
When the idea is brought to Mr. Carson, he decides to give Thomas the Under Butler position (which technically makes him Bates's superior), and in order to avoid any ugliness with James, he suggests that Lord G. be the one to clear everything up. After the cricket match, Lord G. approaches James and thanks him for being generous enough to let Thomas stay on, much to James's surprise. He then congratulates James on being promoted to First Footman, much to Mr. Carson's surprise!
But wait!!! It isn't over yet! Apparently, Alfred, who was upset with James for letting the matter drop, went ahead and called the police! They show up at the cricket match and ask to see Alfred. Robert offers to go get him, and has a long chat with Alfred, telling him he should be kind to Thomas. He tells Alfred that he shouldn't be quick to judge and ruin a man's life, based on something that is basically out of Thomas's control. They tell the police that Alfred was a bit drunk, and misinterpreted rough-housing between two staff members for something else. The police leave, and that's the end of that.
As a side note, throughout the episode, Tom had been talking about moving into Jarvis's old house with baby Sybil, and Cora had been gently trying to persuade him to stay with them. At the cricket match, Tom sees Mary holding the baby, and I guess the sense of family overwhelms him, because he goes to Cora and agrees to stay at the big house, at least until Sybil is a bit older.
And that's really it. Not much of a season finale, and frankly, a few too many neat fixes to some of the storylines. Let's hope that the Christmas special brings more of a bang, since this episode was a bit of a fizzle.

Reviews of this property
The apartment is centrally located, you can walk to all the attractions of the city.
The apartment was clean, with all the equipment you need.
Information from the owner was very good and the same with the person that we got the key off.
I recommend the apartment in the beautiful city of Salzburg.
Marion and Walter were very responsive and helpful during the reservation process. The apartment is very nice and situated in a good location in Altstadt (Old Town). It is convenient for walking to shops, cafes and bus stops. Unfortunately, because our check-in host was sick, our scheduled check-in time was delayed by two hours. The apartment was too noisey for us in the evenings, as there was a theater, cafe bar and restaurant on the same corner as the apartment - there were alot of people out celebrating until 1 or 2 AM. The apartment bedroom was small, the bed was comfortable, but pillows & curtains were poor & need replacing. The kitchen was nicely equipped with everything we needed. We enjoyed our Salzburg vacation.
The location of the apartment was ideal. All arrangements were handled without any problems. Everything we required was provided and we found the apartment clean and comfortable.
We will definitely stay again when we travel to Salzburg again.
Pip and John
Very nice apartment. Great location! Very clean. Transfer and everything else went very well.
Sehr schönes Appartment. Tolle Lage! Sehr sauber. Übergabe und alles weitere hat sehr gut geklappt.
The apartment we liked it very well. What is particularly important to us is the cleanliness and here we can give the highest score. Very clean, and lovely apartment in a great central location. The contact person was super nice spot and we felt very well looked after. If someone is very sensitive to noise, however, could the local close on warm summer nights may be disturbing. We'll be back definitely!
Das Apartment hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Was uns besonders wichtig ist, ist die Sauberkeit und hier können wir die allerhöchste Punktzahl geben. Sehr sauberes, liebevolles Apartment in toller zentraler Lage. Die Kontaktperson vorort war super nett und wir fühlten uns sehr gut betreut. Wenn jemand allerdings sehr lärmempfindlich ist, könnten die Lokale in unmittelbarer Nähe an lauen Sommerabenden vielleicht störend sein. Wir kommen auf alle Fälle wieder!
Reviews for this host's other properties
Super Lage und das Apartment ist einfach schön eingerichtet. Sehr empfehlenswert
Schöne Appartment, räumig, komplett, practisch, mit separaten Schlaffzimmer und in ruhigen Gegend.
Praktisches Appartement, sauber, gut gelegen - sehr nahe vom Bahnhof und zum Zentrum - alles gut zu Fuss erreichbar. Netter Kontakt, hat alles bestens geklappt.
Tolle, kleine Wohnung. Schöne Einrichtung, kreative Schlafmöglichkeit (eher für jüngere Gäste geeignet), freundlich und sauber.
Einkaufsmöglichkeit unmittelbar gegenüber, nur auf die (touristenunfreundliche) Parkplatzsituation hätte man hinweisen können.
Casa bella e funzionale con un meraviglioso prato in giardino. C'è tutto, lavatrice, lavastoviglie microonde. Il posto è molto bello circondato da fattorie. Purtroppo due problemi hanno disturbato il nostro soggiorno ma penso che siano facilmente risolvibili: il letto era rotto, le assi che sostengono le reti completamente rovinate e si rischiava di cadere a terra. Casa invasa dalle mosche a causa delle zanzariere rovinate e dalla presenza di fattorie nel vicinati. Proprietari gentili, disponibili e cortesi.

Washington, Feb 3 (IANS) Microbes inhabit a tightly clustered world comprising co-operators, which share resources, and cheaters, those that selfishly take yet give nothing back. Surprisingly, the exploiter (cheater) and the exploited (co-operator) can co-exist, provided there is room to expand and grow, aver researchers.
According to researchers from Princeton (US) and Ben-Gurion (Israel) universities, our world and our bodies play host to a vast array of microbes.
On our teeth alone, there are approximately a thousand different kinds of bacteria, all living in very close quarters, according to a Princeton and Ben Gurion statement.
"In a fixed population, cells that share can't live together with cells that only take," said David Bruce Borenstein, researcher at Princeton.
"But if the population repeatedly expands and contracts then such 'co-operators' and 'cheaters' can co-exist."
Co-operators were given the ability to make a resource that speeds up growth in both kinds of cells.
Producing this resource slowed down the growth of co-operators, because they have to divert some energy to the process.
The researchers' computer model revealed that the producers tended to cluster, meaning that being a producer gave you greater access to resources.
It also meant that even though cheaters are avoiding the cost of production, they pay for it with reduced resource access.
Within these basic constraints it was found that when the two populations must compete directly for survival, no co-existence is possible.
"One type always wins out," observed Borenstein.
"To our astonishment, we found that while cheaters can exploit co-operators, co-operators can isolate cheaters, just from co-operation and growth," concluded Borenstein.
"As a result, the community can persist in a sort of perpetual race from which a winner need not emerge."
These findings were presented at the 57th Annual Meeting of the Biophysical Society (BPS), in Philadelphia, US.

A PUB in Abingdon is being taken over by a Michelin-starred chef.
Swiss-born Michael Riemenschneider used to run the Michelin-starred Abbey restaurant in Penzance and the Juniper in Altrincham, Greater Manchester.
His arrival at The Broad Face in Bridge Street is the latest boost for Abingdon town centre.
The Crown & Thistle Hotel, also in Bridge Street, was bought by pub chain Oakman Inns for £1.6m in September, and JD Wetherspoon is taking over the Old Post Office in High Street.
Mr Riemenschneider, 30, said: "I checked out all the local pubs and there is a big need for good food at affordable prices.
"When Greene King asked us to run The Broad Face, I hung out in it for an hour and it just didn't get busy. But the pub has a lot of potential. It is in a nice central location and Abingdon is very friendly."
The Broad Face was run by Dushan Salwathura from August 2009 until September last year, when he took over the nearby Nag's Head and reopened it as a gastro pub.
Jamie McLean, who also runs Greene King's Old Anchor Inn in St Helen's Wharf, took The Broad Face under his wing but, earlier this month, Greene King announced it would be looking for a new tenant.
Tony Goulding, of the Campaign for Real Ale, said: "The Broad Face is a challenge, and Camra praises anybody who takes it on.
"Our ideal would be a beer pub that serves food as a back-up, but if it needs food to survive, and provided it sells real ales, we will support it."

Hello, I'm so glad to see you posting. I hope your doing well. I have recovered from my vats operation on 9-23-10, very well. My next scan is in Jan. of 2012, and will be a pet scan for both the anal and lung. I have had 2 ct scans after the vats and so far so good. I hope your lungs are healed up now. Lori
Oct 08, 2011 - 12:51 am
I have been lurking around. Been in sort of a funk. Just haven't felt like "talking". Very unusual for me. All of a sudden today I feel more like myself than I have in a few weeks. Go figure.
So glad to hear that you are recovered from the VATS and feeling well. I have a PET and CT Tuesday the 11th. Of course I am getting all nervous about it. Nothing new there. I really have not felt that great for the last few weeks, but then given the complications with the radiation pneumonitis, the oxygen, the antibiotics, the steroids and so on...how good should I expect to be feeling? I had a pulmonary function test Tues. and my lungs are functioning at 67%. I'll take that! I go, go, go all the time. Not that I am claiming to be productive! My Mom insists that I do not rest enough. Could be right, aren't Moms usually right? Maybe I am expecting too much, too soon. Anyway, going to try and keep the worrying surpressed and pray for good test results.
I will try to be more present on the forum. I am so happy that you and some of the other "charter members" have made a point of keeping things rolling along!
Take care and may God bless you with continued good health!
Oct 08, 2011 - 10:48 am
You know what I find before exams and scans is that I start feeling pains where previously there were none. I know my whole out look on life changes and like you said I get in a funk. Then after I find out everything is okay I feel great. All the emotional roller coasters we go through our mental well being has so much to do with our physical well being. Another thing I have learned about my body is that it is slow to heal, but it does rebound, and here today I feel better than I have in years, even way before the cancers. I know you went through a rough treatment and I understand that the lungs do heal after the pneumontis, I suppose it just takes time. Your mom is probably right, and we have to rest and we have to give our bodies time to heal. I am sending prayers and thoughts your way, and want you to have good test results.
If you read through the posts you see how grateful everyone is that there is a discussion group for anal cancer. If you had not pursued CSN to get one going, I don't know if there would ever have been one, and thank you so much for that. Lori

text: I ask as I recently picked up a new MXR Bass Octave Deluxe and I have to play differently than usual when I use this effect. As it doesn't track very well below the C on the A string (most octaves are similar), I really need to play higher up the neck than normal. Took me a little bit to get use to, but once you figure out where to play to get the most out of an octave pedal, it can sound great. Anyone out there in the same boat with an octave or other pedals?

A new Bulls license plate was unveiled Tuesday by the Chicago Bulls and Secretary of State Jesse White. Hall of Famer and ambassador Scottie Pippen helped unveil the new plate along with Bulls President Michael Reinsdorf and Benny the Bull.
Plates can be pre-ordered starting today at www.cyberdriveillinois.com. A random-number plate costs $69. Personalized plates cost more.
Fans who attend Tuesday's Bulls vs. Indiana Pacers playoff game can purchase a random-number Bulls license plate at the Secretary of State mobile unit on the United Center's 100 level concourse by Section 111 -112.
Similar to the recently unveiled Chicago Bears plates, $25 of proceeds will go toward the Professional Sports Teams Education Fund and the Common School Fund that supports public schools throughout Illinois.

Disclaimer: I do not work with influenza on an empirical basis. However, I have authored a chapter on the genetic origins of the 2009 H1N1 pandemic strain that has been published in a book by the Pennsylvania Academy of Sciences.
For the first time ever, the US government has asked scientific journals not to publish certain details of the methodology used in a study to create a highly transmissible strain of the H5N1 bird flu virus. The study in question was a joint venture between researchers at University of Wisconsin-Madison and Erasmus Medical Center at Rotterdam, Netherlands, and it showed that the virus spread among ferret populations just through airborne transmission alone without the need for direct contact (ref). This has caused the bioterrorism alarm to go off in the government administration and the purpose of this study has been called into question, regardless of the reassurance by Dr. Ron Fouchier (leader of the Erasmus team) that security was one of the top priorities in the study performed. In an interview, Dr. Fouchier has informed us that the experimental design was carried out over a period of 10 years and that throughout the hands-on work (2 year period), there were no security breaches. Of course, the specific mutations performed were not disclosed, but he did point out that carrying out the mutation pattern for developing such a virus requires highly sophisticated facility. While many biosecurity experts have called on the need for such a "dangerous" study, Dr. Fouchier has claimed that such studies will help prepare us for possible flu pandemics in the future and allow for better vaccine and drug development. And such a claim is not unfounded, to say the least, when our preventive measures against flu in general are scrutinized.
The H5N1 flu virus does not usually transmit to humans because of different sialic acid binding receptors present in the airways of mammals and birds. In total, 501 cases of humans affected by H5N1 have been reported by the World Health Organization (WHO) and 297 of these cases were found to be fatal (Imai et al, 2010). The problem, as a public policy expert points out, is not the transmissibility of the virus, but rather the lack of surveillance and political issues regarding this virus. The same has been vocalized by scientists who complained against the indifference of the National Science Advisory Board for Biosecurity (NSABB) towards taking proper precautions against possible flu pandemics through better surveillance.
Regardless of the surveillance problem, there is another issue that must be discussed in regards to the virulence of this new H5N1 virus. Researchers argue that increased rates of transmission will actually reduce the virulence of the strain, a prime example being the most recent flu pandemic in 2009. A followup study performed in 2010 showed that the pandemic H1N1 was no more severe than the seasonal flu. This goes on to show that although the 2009 H1N1 was highly contagious, it was not as virulent. Another question that rises from this study is the use of ferrets as models for studying flu in humans. As this great blog post notes, although the ferrets have proved to be the good models so far as they display human-like symptoms of flu infection, they do not always represent the effect of flu on humans, as in the case of the 2009 H1N1. Also, ferrets have shown to be a much more sensitive system to study flu compared to humans (ref) as they display neurological symptoms, even when exposed to the seasonal strains. With all this information, is it really worth freaking out over this mutant H5N1 strain as the "Flu of Doom", when the 1918 pandemic flu strain could be created in lab (ref) or even polio has been created from scratch?
While this debate still rages on, the question of who can have access to such a publication (censored or not) comes into mind. As Dr. Fouchier put it in his interview, the whole study should be made accessible to the flu research community for better understanding of the H5N1 virus. The US govt is reviewing the option of only allowing flu researchers to view the data and on top of that, it seems that it may also be against open access to scientific data. The new "Research Works Act", introduced in the House of Representatives last month and sponsored by Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney (D-NY) and Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA) and backed by the Association of American Publishers, will be "ensuring the continued publication and integrity of peer-reviewed research works by the private sector". What it actually means is that the National Institutes of Health will NOT require its grantees anymore to submit their publications to its library, thus essentially requiring taxpayers to pay more to read the results of the studies that they had already paid for (ref)! What is even more ironic is that the same Rep. Issa has been a vocal proponent against the controversial SOPA bill (ref), but as Dr. Michael Eisen points out, clearly such actions come from a financial interest on both representatives' parts.
How does the flu freakout tie in with restricting open access to research data? It's pretty simple actually – restricting access to such sensitive data would actually promote "terrorists" to hack into the data and make it more widely available in conspiring circles (ref). This goes hand in hand with the fact that restricting open access to any research data for that matter will considerably slow down progress of Science itself, as shown by the examples here. And as a recent study showed, collaboration between scientists and open access to data, not only ensure, but also increase the rate at which progress is made in the scientific community.
Thankfully enough, majority of scientists have spoken out against this new bill being pushed by AAP-funded representatives and I urge you to do the same. It is only through collaboration and open access will we be able to solve scientific and social problems, old and new.

Franklin (Ga.) Heard County running back/athlete Carlos Brown has a tough decision to make on Monday. Does he want to continue an excellent running back tradition at Georgia or become a do-everything offensive player for South Carolina? Either way the No. 32 player in the country will have the football in his hands often, it just depends on how quickly he wants to touch it.
Mark Richt wants Brown to be his go-to-guy, a running back big enough to take SEC punishment for 25 carries a game, fast enough to elude and run away from speedy defenders and with soft enough hands to play all three downs. Brown has the ability to do the first two and the third will likely come with time, so he's a good fit for what Georgia wants. Thomas Brown and Danny Ware will both be entering their junior years next season, so Brown might have to wait his turn. That is likely the only drawback for Brown with the Dawgs.
Steve Spurrier wants Brown to be a "Slash" kind of player for South Carolina, a guy who can play some quarterback, wide receiver, running back and get on the return team as well. That has to be interesting to Brown who currently handles the ball all the time in high school as a quarterback. South Carolina is also selling the chance to make a legacy, to become one of the greatest players in Gamecock history, something Brown has a much better chance at in Columbia. The drawbacks? South Carolina isn't the school every Georgia kid dreams of playing for and Spurrier doesn't have a track record of using players in a "Slash" role.
Article Continues Below
So who will the nation's No. 5 running back choose? The guess here is that the pride of playing for his home state school and family preference will win out. He'll be a Bulldog.
Forecast: Georgia
Confidence Level: Medium

UB has MAC leaders at nearly every turn
This season has proven to be a statistical gold mine for the University at Buffalo. Comb through the Mid-American Conference stat leaders and you'll find a Bull in nearly every category among the top 10.
The ringleader is senior linebacker Khalil Mack, the No. 3 rated linebacker by ESPN's Mel Kiper and No. 7 prospect overall. The only category where Mack doesn't rank among the leaders is fumbles recovered, perhaps because he's too busy forcing them, where he's tied for the league lead with Toledo defensive end Jayrone Elliott with five.
Mack is already the FBS career leader in forced fumbles and is just 2.5 tackles from becoming the career leader in tackles for loss. A semifinalist for both the Butkus and Bednarik Awards, Mack currently ranks fourth in the MAC in interceptions (three), tied for 10th in passes defended (nine) and 15th in tackles (82).
"I can't say enough about Khalil and what he has been able to accomplish," UB coach Jeff Quinn said.
Branden Oliver has deleted his injury-plagued junior year to pace the MAC in average rushing yards per game (137.5) and is tied for second with Toledo's David Fluellen, the Lockport product, in all-purpose yards (149.2). The Bulls' senior tailback is third in scoring TDs (8.4) and sixth in overall scoring (8.4).
Oliver will likely break his own single-season rushing record in the Bulls' regular season finale Friday against Bowling Green at Ralph Wilson Stadium. He has rushed for 1,375 yards and is just 20 yards shy of the mark he set in 2011. Oliver joins Green Bay Packers running back James Starks, the Niagara Falls native, as just the second player in school history to rush for 1,000 yards in a season twice in a career.
The team took flight when sophomore Joe Licata was inserted as starting quarterback – the Bulls are 11-4 under the former Williamsville South star – and he's worthy of all-league consideration. Licata ranks fifth in passing average per game (218.8), passing efficiency (140.2) and total offense (217.1).
Kicker Patrick Clarke ranks fifth in scoring kicking (7.0) and field goals (1.09) and ninth in scoring (7.0), while wide receiver Alex Neutz is fourth in receiving yards per game (80.1) and tied for seventh with Bowling Green freshman tailback Williams Houston in touchdown scoring (6.0).
Senior defensive end Colby Way ranks ninth in the conference in sacks (five) and 13th in tackles for a loss (7.5), while corner Najja Johnson is tied for fourth in interceptions (three) and eighth in passes defended (10).
Other Bulls who are among the league leaders include linebacker Lee Skinner who ranks 33rd in tackles with 69, corner Cortney Lester who is tied for fourth in interceptions with three. Also, Devin Campbell is third in the conference in kick return average (23.5), while Tyler Grassman is eighth in punting at 39.9 yards per kick.

Lakers clip Patriots to snap two-game skid -- Lof paces DL girls' b-ball with 17 points in 56-46 conference win
The Detroit Lakes girls' basketball team halted a two-game skid with a strong second half performance in a 56-46 Mid-State Conference victory over Pequot Lakes Friday evening inside Ralph Anderson Gym.
A 7-0 run midway through the second half bumped the Lakers (6-4) to their first 10-point lead at the 5:17 mark after an Abby Hoganson three-pointer.
The Patriots (8-4) climbed back to seven on a couple of turnovers by DL on a full-court press, but guard Dani Labine's third trey drained Pequot Lakes' chances, as DL went up 54-42 with 3:55 remaining in regulation.
It was a run sparked by Laker guards Hoganson and Chelsey Bjerke, who were able to maintain possession throughout the first half and eventually loosen up the middle.
"Chelsey and Abby each handled the ball well throughout the game and they were able to extend the court," said DL head coach Mike Hoganson. "They were able to get the ball over the defense and to (forward) Morgan Lof, who had a good second half, as well."
Lof led all scorers with 17 points, nine coming in the first half and eight in the second.
The Laker forwards also controlled the boards defensively, forcing one-and-out series for the Patriots, who were not shooting particularly well.
"The forwards started looking up and passing the ball up the court, which helped our transition game," Mike Hoganson added.
DL's offense was well spread out, with Taylor Tschider netting 10 points, behind Lof's 17.
Labine's nine points all came from beyond the three-point arc, while Abby Hoganson added nine, including one three.
"I'm happy no one on the team cares who scores, it only matters if it's a Laker scoring," Mike Hoganson said.
The game was close up to DL's second-half run, with the home team building a 25-19 advantage in the first half, but seeing the Patriots slice that to a 27-23 halftime margin. That margin would have been just two points, but for Jenny Matter's bucket at the buzzer to extend DL's lead to four.
The home team struggled out of the gates in the second half, not scoring their first bucket until almost four minutes into the half.
But the Laker defense kept the Pats to just four points in that span for a 29-29 tie.
Bjerke's three at the 13:08 mark gave DL the 32-29 advantage, a lead they wouldn't forfeit the rest of the contest.
Pequot Lakes' Katelyn Schmidt kept her team close with a three with 8:07 remaining at 42-37.
But the Lakers answered on an Abby Hoganson driving layup and a Lof bank in to up the lead back to 46-39, before Hoganson's back-breaking three for the 10-point edge.
Pequot Lakes was led by Mindy Howard's 12 points and Emily Lueck's 11.
"Our defense played well at times, but we still missed some assignments," Mike Hoganson said. "But they missed some shots they usually make, too."
Bemidji (8-1) was one of the culprits in DL's two-game losing streak, with a 78-53 win in Ralph Anderson Gym Thursday.
The Lumberjack's scoring phenom Kayla Hirt was too tough on the inside, going for 31 points on the night, including 23 in the first half.
Bemidji went on a 10-point run to end the first half and extended their momentum in the second half to pull away.
"Our perimeter game kept us in it in the first half, with Abby hitting four three's," the DL coach said.
Bemidji ran out to a 14-6 lead to start the game, while DL chipped away to within two points with 4:30 left to halftime.
But Hirt rallied Bemidji with the big run to halftime.
"Kayla is so quick and strong, she probably had 10 to 12 points just off their transition," Mike Hoganson said.
Abby Hoganson had 16 points, while Bjerke added 12 and Tschider 10.
The Lakers will host Thief River Falls (5-3) Thursday for a 7:30 p.m. start. DL defeated the Prowlers earlier in the season by the score of 56-49.

Update 3/5/2012 @ 10:06 PM-The #BoycottRUSH campaign on Twitter is still Full Steam Ahead. Drop count so far...13 Sponsors, 2 Radio Affiliates and hopefully the FCC will pull his "programming" next. Tune into StopRush.Org for the latest updates.
It's time to contact the Federal Communications Commission to remove Rush Limbaugh off of our Publicly-Financed supported airwaves.
We at ROJS News, have taken the unusual stance of starting this article with a statement of opinion, rather than a statement of facts and here's why.
Our podcast arm Featured Podcast ROJS Radio hosted by Monica RW & Autumn S airs each weekend on the Blog Talk Radio network. Both Autumn and I are women, engaging in Michigan & National Political Talk discussions rather frequency. To say that we're insulted by self-described "Entertainer" Rush Limbaugh statements about Sandra Fluke would be a understatement.
To date, Nine Major Sponsors of "The Rush Limbaugh Show" decided to pull support for his comments in reference to Georgetown University Student Sandra Fluke testimony, before the U.S. House Democratic Steering and Policy Committee February 23rd. To review Ms. Fluke's statement, please click this link.
But, there's a larger issue here. Rush Limbaugh programming is supported by Clear Channel Communications, accountable to the Federal Communication Commission for what's broadcast on Federally-Regulated/Tax Supported airwaves, in operations by our tax dollars. This easily verifiable fact can be reviewed on the FCC's website.
Which raised a question in our minds. Specifically, why can't Rush Limbaugh continue his "freedoms" and speech on the currently unregulated podcast or internet video broadcast world? Really, allow us a minute to explain our point of view here.
No one is telling Limbaugh or his "freedom loving Patriot's" supporters like Sean Hannity, Sarah Palin, Lifelock, Gold Coin Pro or his "Ditto Heads" followers Limbaugh shouldn't have a right to Free Speech guaranteed by our United States Constitution. But, even the Constitution doesn't state that our society can't assign penalties when one decides to uses vulgar speech.
In Limbaugh case, he decided to call Ms. Fluke statement before our U.S. Congress, her and her family names we refuse to re-dictate here on ROJS News. His exact statement in its' entirely can be found on the LeftAction.org petition.
Another "Entertainer" removed off of MSNBC's morning programming and CBS Radio in 2007, Don Imus, believes Limbaugh's statement on Ms. Fluke a "Vile, personal attack" and relates Limbaugh's statement five days later a "insincere pig" being apologetic because they were caught.
"Here's the problem with all this. It was a vile personal attack of this woman and it was sustained over—what it was—Wednesday, come back and double down on Thursday, come back and double down on Friday, and then, issue a lame apology on your website in which you say, 'I didn't mean to personally attack her,' when you did attack her.
If it were me, and I ran a radio station or whatever, I'd make him go down there and apologize to her face to face. He owns a Gulfstream IV. Get on it. Go to Washington. Take her to lunch and say, 'Look. I'm sorry I said this stuff and I'll never do it again.' Period. No. He's an insincere pig. Pill-popping pinhead...It's disgraceful.
He has no guts...Look what I did, and what I did was a lame attempt to be funny. And it was three words and I went and met with these people after I'd been fired. You know you got to look them in the eye, you've got to show guts...He's a punk...Enough of what he said. He's a coward. You can't attack somebody like that."We call on all of ROJS Media readers, listeners and supporters via ROJS News and ROJS Radio-Independent-Left Michigan & National Political Talk on the Blog Talk Radio Network, contact the Federal Communication Commission encouraging the governmental body to remove "The Rush Limbaugh Show" off of Publicly Supported & Financed airwaves.
To further communicate our point, here's a comment we wrote in response to Former Superintendent of Education in Michigan, Tom Watkins, Op/Ed article on our local news resource Ann Arbor.com.
As a Republican, Mr. Watkins, THANK YOU for writing this column stating publicly that Rush Limbaugh vicious attack on Georgetown University Law Student Sandra Fluke was wrong, You are correct and stand on the right side of this issue.
The second point I would like to make: The Rush Limbaugh Show is supported via the Federal Communication Commission by all of our tax dollars paid to the Federal Government. Why?
If Limbaugh believe (regardless of his so-called apology after losing 8 major sponsors) degrading Ms. Fluke and other women is a form of "Political Talk", let him REMOVE his program off of OUR PUBLICLY-FINANCED airwaves, onto the internet.
There, he can use his "version" of "free-speech" all day long. The key to this, he would have to PRIVATELY-FINANCE his program in TOTAL....no Federal Tax Dollars support period.
Considering Rush "loves his freedoms" and his supporters are "so-loyal", he should have no problems getting his "fans" to follow his "show" on the internet. Right?
So, for Mr. Watkins and other Republicans who feel strongly that Limbaugh's comments about Sandra Fluke were highly-inappropriate, wrong and not fitting for Publicly-Financed radio....contact the FCC here: http://esupport.fcc.gov/complaints.htm and tell the Governmental Organization to remove Rush Limbaugh NOW!
To find a list of sponsors of The Rush Limbaugh Show to target, we have a link to the FULLY LIST (Major & Secondary Sponsors) here: http://bit.ly/zb3J2P.
Thank you again, Mr. Watkins.
Monica RWAlso, for those who say that Limbaugh "freedoms" would be impeded by removing his program from Clear Channel Communications and Rush Privately-Financing let's say on a "Freedom Loving Patriots Network" on the internet, we disagree.
Executive Producer/Co-Host
ROJS Radio-Featured Podcast on Blog Talk Radio
Alex Jones of Infowars has a loyal following on Facebook and is quite successful at this venue. Before moving a version of the programming to Current TV, "The Young Turks" had a strong audience via their You Tube Channel. We sure that Limbaugh's "Ditto-Heads" will follow him wherever he goes, right?
So yes, Limbaugh should definitely take his "version" of "freedom loving, woman hating, racist baiting Patriotism" elsewhere, anywhere but our Publicly-Supported & Finance via tax dollars, airwaves.
If you stand with Sandra Fluke and along with ROJS Radio's call to #BoycottRush, contact the FCC today to complain about "Entertainer" Rush Limbaugh programming on Clear Channel Communications. You can also follow us on Twitter @ROJSNews and be included on our #BoycottRush List or become our latest FAN on Facebook.

Our Song Spotlight this week features a tune that hasn't made it to the 40 yet, but we fully anticipate that it will very soon. It's by a newcomer named Mickey Guyton… a young lady from Arlington, Texas who began singing gospel music in church when she was just five, and grew up listening to the likes of Dolly Parton, LeAnn Rimes, Whitney Houston, and gospel greats BeBe and CeCe Winans. She's always had a heart for country and says, "Of all the music out there, country is the most honest, the most genuine, and speaks to my heart."
Mickey moved to Los Angeles after high school to attend Santa Monica College, and while working hard at two jobs to make ends meet, she was introduced to producer Julian Raymond, who helped pave the way for her to move to Nashville in 2011 and pursue her dreams as a country singer. Since then, she's signed with Capitol Records Nashville (where she is currently the only solo female country artist), sung at the White House in a PBS concert featuring James Taylor, Dierks Bentley, Kris Kristofferson, The Band Perry, Darius Rucker, and Lyle Lovett… and, just recently made her debut appearance at the Grand Ole Opry.
Mickey Guyton's debut single is not only strong, but it's also refreshing. "Better Than You Left Me" is a country waltz with a slight gospel feel to it. Co-written by Mickey, Nathan Chapman, Jennifer Hanson, and Jenn Schott… it's a soulful, powerful ballad about a lady whose "ex" left her and now… she's better off as a result. The style and instrumentation clearly leans more toward traditional country, and if you haven't had the pleasure of hearing this gem yet, we've got good news for you. You can hear it right here, right now at CT40.com. Just click on "Fresh Tracks," locate the title… and enjoy!

I've slapped on and swatched my fair share of summer beauty launches this year and as always the steady stream of bronze, gold and peach has been keeping me happy. In the warmer months I revert back to my makeup comfort zone of sheeny textures in earthy tones – easy peasy – so it's fair to say that the new releases that make an appearance on counter at this time of year are right up my street. But there's one drop in particular that stands out from the rest, even just the name – swoon. It's Bobbi Brown's Surf & Sand collection.
Sure there's the usual colour palettes of shimmering metallics and naturally enhancing hues, but it's the little touches that push it over the line into a release of pure fabulousness: the hessian detailing on the eyeshadow palette, the fact that the new lip formula has just a smidge of glitter that makes things look fuller, an eyeliner that actually took days to eventually rub off my hand etc etc. It's everything you could want in a summer collection.
Personal highlights for me include the Brightening Blush in Bronze; a bronzer/blush/trio that has a nice dash of red to it that really fakes that post-holiday glow. I'm feeling the Sheer Lip Colours too, particularly Peach Sorbet which does that whole 'my lips but peachier' thing. But of course it was going to be the Sand Eye Palette that really floated my boat. I mean – just look at it. Eight shades, some shimmer, some matte that have all possible holiday eye looks covered. There's no fall-out, no dusty-ness and if you're looking for an update in the neutral palette category (aren't we always?) then this is your guy.
It's on counter now ready to swatch or you can 'surf' for it here. Sorry Dad joke. I just had to.
