Great travel photos from around the world
Into the forest we went with a mushroom hunter and guide, in search of edibles in the speckled light of a summer afternoon.
Lafayette, La., is the "capital of Acadiana." You'll find the city about 190 kilometres west of New Orleans as the crow flies. This is pure Cajun country...
St. Louis Cemetery No. 3 is just one of the many urban cemeteries, and New Orleans attractions, where one begins to understand the charms and challenges...
From shotgun houses to plantations, cultural influences run deep in the south

|Tri-color rotini pasta salad is paired with red onion, celery, green and red bell pepper, black olives, chopped tomato and dressed with an Italian dressing.
Tri-Color Italian Rotini Pasta SaladHere's another pasta salad for the recipe box. The first one I posted was a Creamy Pasta Salad version, and my attempt at duplicating a local restaurant's menu item. This one is made using Italian dressing and no mayonnaise.
In my thinking, the vegetables listed are the basics and to be added upon - of course, you can mix and match whatever veggies are your own favorites, or what you happen to have on hand or find at the market. Focus on fresh, raw veggies for the most part - though a handful of frozen peas are great - and preferably what's in season.
This is a fantastic pasta salad for when those peppers and tomatoes start to come in. This time I threw in some of that baby corn I had leftover from doing my Spicy Chicken & Veggie Stir Fry {times two already}, and a bit of sliced radish.
I like to have chunks of crunchy veggies in my pasta salad, but chop as thin as you like! You can also switch up the pasta - I like the tri-color rotini pasta for this recipe, but wagon wheels or shells are nice too. I also use the Good Seasons envelope seasoning to make up my own Italian dressing, but a bottled commercial dressing works great.
By the way, this pasta salad is great on its own but fantastic as written with boiled shrimp tossed in. Just add in 3/4ths to 1 full pound of boiled, peeled shrimp at the end, right before chilling. I just didn't have any shrimp thawed when I decided I wanted some pasta salad, or you can bet it sure would have been in here! Glad shrimp season is about to open - we are running low!
Recipe: Tri-Color Italian Rotini Pasta Salad©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 20 min |Inactive time: 6 hours | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 1 pound package of tri-color rotini pasta
- 1/2 of a medium red onion, chopped
- 1 stalk of celery, chopped
- 1/2 of a medium green bell pepper, chopped
- 1/2 of a medium red bell pepper, chopped
- 1 can of medium pitted black olives, sliced
- 1 cup of commercial or homemade Italian dressing
- 1 tomato, seeded and chopped
- Parmesan cheese, to garnish
- Crumbled bacon, to garnish, optional
Boil the pasta al dente according to package directions. Drain, rinse well and set aside.
To the drained pasta, add all of the chopped vegetables, except for the tomatoes. Stir in the Italian dressing and mix all together well. Add the cooked and cooled shrimp and gently toss. Cover and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
Just before serving, add the chopped tomato, toss and then sprinkle the top with Parmesan cheese and crumbled bacon, because everything is better with bacon! Store in the fridge and refresh with additional Italian dressing as needed.
Cook's Notes: Add in 1 pound of boiled shrimp, fresh or frozen; boil in water, salt, liquid crab boil and lemon for about 4 minutes or until shrimp turns pink. Drain and set aside to cool; peel. You'll add these at the end. If you're using the frozen precooked shrimp, you'll just need to thaw them, then add them in. To make this Lent friendly, omit the bacon.

Here is how they describe themselves on their website,
"GoogleMapsBikeThere.org was created to ask Google to help us make the world safer for bicyclists by adding bicycle routes to Google Maps."
Google Maps presently has 'Drive There' and 'Take Public Transit' options. Google Maps Bike There would like Google to add a 'Bike There' option. Here's how they imagine it would look:
Google Maps Bike There have started an online petition for those who support their campaign.
The campaign has already garnered some support on-line:
Petitioning Google for Bike There Feature - Washington City Paper
All Over the Map, Bike There- Bicycling.com
If you can't wait for Google to implement this idea you might find the following bike related mash-ups useful:
- Chicago Bike Map
- NYC Bike Maps
- Phildelphia Bike Lanes and Trails
- Bikely - User submitted bike routes from around the world.
- Bikemap.de - 8,877 Bike routes mapped!
- City Bike Map - Maps of user contributed bike routes
- I Need a Bike - A mashup of Velib, the world's biggest bicycle-rental operation in Paris, France. Helps you find bike stations, get directions and check the status of stations in real-time. Maps of Lyon and Marseille are also available. Velib also has an official site that uses Google Maps, and a separate site that has a Rental Locations Map
UK Public Footpaths
The implementation of bike routes for UK users would be hindered by the fact that Google Maps does not include public footpaths in its UK map coverage. Local government authorities in the UK have to keep a 'definitive map' of public rights of way. This 'definitive map' records public footpaths and bridleways that are 'public rights of way'. Nearly all maps printed in the UK include these public footpaths as a matter of course. Google Maps for some reason does not include public footpaths.
For example, the Google Map below looks very sparse compared to maps produced by the UK Ordnance Survey. The UK Ordnance Survey Map of this area is covered with dotted lines showing all the public footpaths (although you will have to take my word for this as the Ordnance Survey protects its copyright very closely and does not allow us to show you the map).
Gavin Brock has produced an Ordnance Survey Overlay for Google Earth which enables you to view public footpaths in Google Earth. Unfortunately the kml of the overlay doesn't appear to work when loaded into Google Maps.

"Good things are happening in Berkeley County."
That was the message Berkeley County Supervisor Dan Davis delivered in his annual State of the County address to local civic and business leaders. Davis spoke during a Chamber of Commerce breakfast Friday morning at the Redbank Club in Goose Creek.
"I'm really happy to be here again this year," Davis told the gathering of more than 150. "Our success wouldn't be possible without the help of everybody in this room. All of you play an integral part of the success of Berkeley County."
The event was Davis' sixth State of the County address.
Davis said the county's success includes the infusion of local industry into the local economy, which has brought much needed jobs to the county. Seven new industries located in Berkeley County brought 495 new jobs in 2012, and 12 new companies will bring 638 jobs in 2013.
"We are seeing movement of new businesses," Davis said of the county's economic development efforts. "We are blessed."
Davis is midway through his second term as supervisor and over the course of his service much attention has been focused on the economy and its recovery.
"In the past it's been all about the economy and coping with the difficult economic times," Davis said. "But recently we have seen an uptick in activity."
Such as a 7.1 percent increase in new housing starts.
"Something like the local hardware store selling out of surveyor stakes is a sign that good things are happening here," the supervisor said.
"The last audit told us we are in good shape financially," Davis said of a 22-percent fund balance the county has on the books in 2012. "In 2007 when I took office that balance was just three percent. We went to work to correct that and actually we overachieved."
Davis praised the penny sales tax program voters approved in 2010 and the subsequent improvement seen on area roads such as Hwy. 17A and Hwy. 6 between Moncks Corner and Cross.
"We collected $16.4 million in 2009-2010 and we project around $19 million in 2013," Davis said. "That's a 12-percent increase in sales in Berkeley County."
Davis added that he expects all planned Penny Sales Tax road improvement projects to be completed, "and then some."
"The roads were in such deplorable condition," he said. "The One Cent Sales Tax is the saving grace of Berkeley County roads. We need to keep this sales tax going to maintain the integrity of our county roads."
On the new field of green energy production Davis said the development of green energy "is one of the most exciting things we're doing. There are a lot of smart folks at Berkeley County Water and Sanitation that go beyond the next level."
Davis cited BCWS's landfill gas to energy methane extraction program as part of Berkeley County's leading the way into the next generation of energy production.
"We are the only place in the U.S. where all these functions occur on the same property," Davis said. "We're proud to be a leader in the field of green energy and we're going to do it first."

The Green Wave wrestling team was on a roll, but found itself in an up-hill battle at Ashley Ridge Wednesday.
Summerville followed a first-place effort at the Cane Bay Duals earlier this month with another championship performance, winning the MPCU Holiday Classic at Lugoff-Elgin High Dec. 21-22. Then the team placed second in a large field at the USMC Seahawk Slam in Hilton Head last week.
However, the Wave had to fight to win its first region match of the season. Ashley Ridge held a 24-15 lead with only five weight classes remaining, but Summerville rallied to earn a 39-24 victory.
We came out flat tonight and not wrestling well and it almost cost us, Summerville coach Daryl Tucker said. Last month I thought we had turned a corner but it looks like we still have some things to fix. Not to take anything away from Ashley Ridge, they are a well-coached team and they fought hard tonight.
After the Swamp Foxes took their biggest lead of the evening, Summerville began a rally in the 220-pound division with a pin by Julian Gibbs. Trey Privette won the heavyweight division by pinfall and then the Wave pulled ahead by nine points with a forfeit received by James Sass.
Ashley Ridge tried to keep things interesting as T.Y. Jamieson jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the first period of the 113-pound bout. However, Summervilles Justin Connelly battled and earned a 10-9 decision on a near fall in the closing seconds of the final period. The near fall was so close to the periods end that the official didnt signal for the points to be awarded until after the buzzer had sounded.
With only one bout remaining, that clinched the team victory for Summerville.
Other wrestlers earning a win by pinfall were Summervilles Gavin Perkins (126) and Chad Wood (152) and Ashley Ridges Chris Hudgens (145) and Zach Armstrong (170).
At the MPCU Holiday Classic, Sass won the 106-pound class. Tyler Fachko (120), Perkins (126), Chad Wood (152) and David Pringle (220) placed second in their division.
Sass also won at 106 at the Seahawk Slam while Perkins finished as the runner-up at 126 and Anthony Collins was the runner-up at 160.
For the Swamp Foxes, Armstrong brought home a division title for the 170-pound class of the MPCU Holiday Classic.
Summerville 39, Ashley Ridge 24
106: James Sass (S) wbf.; 113: Justin Connelly (S) d. T.Y. Jamieson 10-9; 120: Tyler Fachko (S) d. Demitre McNeal 7-0; 126: Gavin Perkins (S) p. Christian Cutino; 132: Eduardo Blanco (A) d.

Pounds: Year in reviewWritten by Tom Pounds | President / Publisher | firstname.lastname@example.com
There are still several weeks left in 2011, but it is time to start cataloging some of the accomplishments of the past year.
Despite some hefty surprises and unbelievable setbacks, the 2011 ledger will show a positive and productive year. The personal high — the birth of my daughter Harper — can't be matched by any professional feta, but it was a great year. In addition to a raft of business milestones and editorial triumphs, I am particularly proud of our philanthropic contributions during the past calendar year.
- Smoke on the Water — Ribs for the Red Cross overcame rain to fill the riverfront with headliners Tonic and John Michael Montgomery.
- We sponsored the "Holiday with Heart" event at the Toledo Club, a sold-out event which benefited AIDS and HIV organizations in the local gay and lesbian community. We are also sponsoring this year's event, set for Dec. 3.
- Toledo Free Press initiated a private fundraising drive that brought in $12,000 for the Toledo Symphony Orchestra trip to Carnegie Hall in New York City, which nullified a request for the funds from taxpayers.
- "Education Champions," a news series that highlighted local Toledo Public Schools projects and resulted in a multimedia awareness campaign that culminated in WGTE's literacy program, First Book, winning a grant from the United Way.
- "Restaurant Week Toledo," which involved more than 16 restaurants and raised funds for Leadership Toledo's high school scholarship program. We will launch this again in late January.
- We partnered with and facilitated a Columbia Gas of Ohio program that provided free or reduced-cost programmable thermostats, showerheads and home energy audits.
- The "Egypt Experience" and Artoberfest promotions with the Toledo Museum of Art were highlights of our friendship with the museum.
- We participated in our first Arts Commission Art Walk series, which led to our sponsorship of the "Zygote in My Fez" poetry festival.
- Toledo Free Press co-sponsored a Red Cross program, "Ready U," a 12-month educational series that offered free sessions on a variety of safety and disaster-preparedness topics. The second "Ready U" series is under way.
- Our "Round Up Hunger" series focusing on Feed Lucas County Children resulted in a fundraising campaign through Walt Churchill's Markets.
- We co-sponsored a Banned Books Week awareness series at the University of Toledo to fight censorship. This was our fifth year with the event.
- The Northwest Ohio Chapter of the National Multiple Sclerosis Society honored our work at a magnificent event in October.
The Ohio Society for Professional Journalists award for Best Weekly Newspaper in Ohio, our third consecutive such honor, capped our year.
This is not a definitive list, but we are grateful for each and every one of these partnerships and opportunities. We take none of them for granted and hope to expand upon them moving forward.
Thomas F. Pounds is president and publisher of Toledo Free Press and Toledo Free Press Star. Contact him at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Rated 5 out of 5Â by saraccina Really cute This sweater is so cute and sweet. I bought the sea green in the small initially but it was too long and instead got the extra small. Love it :) Perfect for spring. 3.3.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by samishoes1 Pretty Sweater But Too Delicate I'd give this a 5star for design and fit, but have to settle for 1star quality. I purchased this sweater over the phone directly from the store. I was able to finally wear it at work, cause it gets cold in the office. My first day sitting at my desk there was a huge hole under the arm of my sleeve, then lifted my other arm another appeared near the wrist area, both directly on the seam. This was my first time wearing it. Very disappointed after spending buko bucks on it. I like it so much I thought that I'd stitch it up myself, but during the day, I found more problems, "Snags" loose threads everywhere:( Is this going to keep happening every time I wear it? It's almost a month and wore it already and not sure if FP will take it back:( Pretty to look at but will not hold up wearing. 7.19.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Strawberries009 Beautiful!!! I just got this sweater in natural and I love it! I do think it runs very large though. I'm 5'6 1/2 inches and I bought an xs. Even with an xs, the material is oversized but fitted, just like in the pic. The material is not itchy. Really great for layering! 4.15.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by leventnousporter Not worth it I really like the design of this knit but the color (natural) is misleading. The color looks beige online but, in person, it's really a light grey. The fit is what I expected it to be; true to size but very wide. The only real reason why I'm not keeping it is the stiff and itchy fabric. 4.14.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by teater lovely and sweet This piece is beautiful but very wide. I got the medium in sea green. I am a 34c and 28 in jeans. The arms are fitted and it is very boxy, but I love it anyway. It will be a perfect swimsuit cover up. The length is just as pictured for the medium size. The material does not bother my skin and it is very lightweight. Wish it was in more colors. 4.8.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Sarahsauraus Alright This was a return for me but I thought I'd review it anyway. The color is nice (seafoam green) and it fits fairly tts although I think I could have sized up to get the look that the model has. I'm 5'6", 125lbs and 34b and I ordered the small, which I found to be a bit short in the front. I probably would have liked the medium better as it would have had that extra length and more over sized look. The main thing I didn't like about this piece was that it isn't soft at all. I found it kinda rough and itchy. I also found the color was a bit darker then pictured, but not a huge deal. 3.21.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by valskerie Perfect Light Sweater I bought this sweater in the natural and absolutely love it! I opted for my true size, even though it is loose because I wanted the extra length for wearing with leggings. I've layered it over a cami and worn it with a long skirt; and it looks great layered over a slip with leggings or skinny jeans. I'm looking forward to wearing it over a bandeau or bralette with shorts during the summer! 3.8.2013

Vacuum Cleaner Belts
Did you know that proper maintenance can extend the life of your vacuum cleaner? One of the most basic maintenance items is belt maintenance. It is crucial part in your cleaning system that connects your motor to the brush roll. To check this, you need to remove the bottom plate and place a finger under the best to feel if it is taut. If you find that it's not, and it is showing signs of wear, it is time to replace it. While it is recommended you change vacuum belts once or twice a year, the frequency will actually depend on how often you use your vacuum cleaner. Frequent use makes it prone to cracks, sagging and other forms of damage. The motor is unable to turn a belt that does not have good traction on the brush roll. As a result, your vacuum does not clean up to its potential.
Looking for belts for your vacuum cleaning system? At GoVacuum, we recommend customers reduce the risk for vacuum repairs in the long-term by regularly checking the internal parts including belt, bag and hose regularly. While our advice represents general care and maintenance, we also stock a wide range of vacuum cleaner accessories including belts for a wide range of cleaners and ensure that your vacuum cleaner performs according to your needs!

To ensure Spawn's cooperation, one of the Caste have placed his brother, Marc, in the weapon's path.

Wind: 10 mph
To The Editor:
Dave Seller's view (The Valley Reporter, February 14) "The bridge, the church and the barbershop" is a good history lesson, along with suggestions on how we might proceed. Another lesson is timely and should be added: the Town Meeting over 40 years ago, when the 1833 Waitsfield covered bridge was almost torn down.
The Waitsfield Select Board had waited many years for state funding to replace the old wood bridge with a new concrete span. Large vehicles could not use the covered bridge, which was regarded as a bottleneck and a handicap to development. When the funds finally became available, in about 1968, the town and the state quickly moved ahead with final plans.
Fletcher Joslin gave early warning signals and called me for support. Together with Milton Graton from New Hampshire, we made the case for preserving the covered bridge in use and letting the original timber trusses do the work, as opposed to hiding steel support beams underneath. We prepared for a vote at the next Town Meeting and The Valley Reporter helped us get the facts out. At Town Meeting, I took part in heated exchanges with select board members who were not pleased. When the vote tally came out, it was in favor of restoring the covered bridge and keeping it in operation.
Can you imagine Bridge Street today without the covered bridge?
The point is that our Waitsfield historic village and major landmarks, like the Methodist church, are of real value and are irreplaceable. Along with the Moretown and Warren villages, they give an added dimension to the Mad River Valley and its workable mix of farming and recreation. Historic preservation takes time and money, but, in a competitive economy and for the quality of our lives, it pays long-term dividends. Once again, the voters at Town Meeting will tell us which way to go.

The AmFar Inspiration Gallery took place last night at The Museum of Modern Art in New York City and the red carpet was a mixed bag. Courtney Love showed up, obviously, looking like a train wreck. How does she end up everywhere? Designers Michael Kors (who won the amfAR Award of Courage) and Kenneth Cole posed with a stunning Heidi Klum. James Franco suited up to receive his amfAR Award of Inspiration, while a teeny-waisted Jennifer Hudson performed. Ke$ha showed up looking drunk as usual and wearing an Abed Mahfouz gown that looked not exactly right on her. Add a clutch of models like Alek Wek and Chanel Iman and a totally incredible Rufus Wainwright, and voila! — successful event, check. To check out the rest of the arrivals action, take a look at our gallery below.

Washington Baseball players continue to have an impact in summer league baseball around the country.
Later this afternoon (Monday, July 27) former Husky third baseman Jake Lamb will return to Seattle for the first time since playing at the University of Washington in 2012.
Summer league baseball is now under way as Washington Baseball is well represented around the country and throughout Pacific Northwest.
Washington Baseball will be well represented in the Pacific Northwest and around the country as summer league baseball kicks into full swing. Nine returning players and eight newcomers will be playing summer ball at various locations.
Two current Husky Baseball players and one future Dawg were drafted on Wednesday in the final day of the MLB Draft to bring the total to four current and three future Huskies selected in the three-day draft.
Austin Rei, a junior catcher, was the first Husky player selected in the second day of the Major League Baseball Draft, going 81st overall in the third round to the Boston Red Sox. About 17 minutes later, Braden Bishop was selected 13 picks later by the Seattle Mariners, 94th overall in the third round.
Washington sophomore Josh Cushing was named to the Pac-12's All-Academic First Team Commissioner Larry Scott announced Thursday.
Washington freshman Noah Bremer was named to Louisville Slugger's Freshman All-American as selected by Collegiate Baseball newspaper.
The Husky Baseball team has signed four junior college transfers for next season, head coach Lindsay Meggs announced Tuesday. The four position players � Francis Christy, Alex Galgano, MJ Hubbs and Gage Matuszak � each hail from different states. They will join a group of newcomers that includes 14 previously signed high school seniors.
The Pac-12 Conference has named Washington pitcher Tyler Davis as the 2015 Pac-12 Baseball Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The award has been established to honor collegiate student-athletes that are standouts both academically and in their sports discipline.
The Pac-12 Conference announced its All-Conference team Wednesday and two Huskies � Tyler Davis and Braden Bishop � were named to the squad. Bishop also was named to the Pac-12 All-Defensive Team.
Austin Rei hit a solo home run in the eighth inning for the only run of the game as Washington held Utah to two hits in a 1-0 victory Sunday at Husky Ballpark.

Nearly two dozen candidates running in key contested offices said they will participate in a public forum on Monday to meet potential voters, spell out platform ideas and explain why they have thrown their hats in the political quagmire.
Candidates running for a number of local and state offices have been invited to participate in the forum on Monday at the Aiken Municipal Center, 214 Park Ave.
The public event is open to all candidates who would like to meet and greet potential voters, and will be televised live on ASTV channel 95 from 7 to 9 p.m.
Candidates will each be given a minute to provide an opening statement, asked a number of questions and then given a minute to make a closing statement.
Aiken County Council Chairman Ronnie Young and Councilman Scott Singer have been asked to give a statement about the referendum that is calling for a change in the form of government to a Council-Manager form, which would give County Council the option to make appointments for the offices of auditor and treasurer, which would report directly to the County Manager.
Young said he is opposed to the referendum, adding that the treasurer and auditor should be accountable to the residents. He said he believes that changing those positions takes the power from the hands of voters.
Singer has been a proponent of the change, saying the Council-Manager form ensures the treasurer and auditor will be qualified professionals appointed by the County Council rather than popularly elected citizens who may or may not be qualified.
Key contested seats and candidates asked to participate in the forum include those running for state and local offices.
Readers are encouraged to send questions that may be asked of those candidates by emailing firstname.lastname@example.com.
The forum will be posted to aikenstandard.com for replay on demand.

Haig's kick keeps MU alive for bowl
HUNTINGTON -- On Saturday afternoon, Marshall University's football season was hanging on the right foot of kicker Justin Haig.
With the score tied and the Thundering Herd having squandered a 21-point lead against Houston, Haig put every ounce of his 5-foot-8, 180-pound frame into a 45-yard field goal with seven seconds remaining in a 44-41 victory in a Marshall Senior Day game witnessed by a turnout of 18,831 spectators in Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
The kick came after Haig had squeaked one over the crossbar that was nullified by Houston coach Tony Levine calling a timeout.
Haig came back unscathed and put the next kick through the uprights to set off a celebration by Herd players and coaches.
"It's a great feeling, but to me, it's more important that we won the game and that we sent the seniors out the right way," Haig said.
Haig's pressure kick also enabled Marshall, 5-6 overall and 4-3 in Conference USA, to keep its bowl game hopes going. Marshall has a shot at its sixth win and bowl eligibility next week at East Carolina.
The kick ended a bizarre affair that featured a little bit of everything, from trick plays to backyard-style football.
Regardless of how it was accomplished, everyone in kelly green was happy it did.
"It was ugly, but we got it," Marshall quarterback Rakeem Cato said. "We stuck together and found a way to win the game."
Cato engineered an offense that produced 665 yards -- a season high and the most since Marshall gained 733 yards against Buffalo on Oct. 12, 2002.
The sophomore quarterback finished the contest with 32 completions in 50 attempts for 377 yards and three touchdowns while also coming up with several big runs.
On the drive that set up Haig's game-winner, Cato stepped up in the pocket to avoid pressure before taking off for a 16-yard gain that put Marshall into Houston territory.
"I told myself this week during practice that if a team wanted to play three down and drop eight, I'm going to use my feet and do the best I can to get yards," Cato said.
Haig's field goal came after Houston had a chance to take the lead after driving inside the Marshall red zone while trailing 41-38 late.
The Herd defense got a stop and forced a 28-yard Matt Hogan field goal that knotted the game 41-41 with 1:18 left.
It was a big stop, considering Houston had all the momentum after battling back from a 38-17 deficit by scoring 21 unanswered points before Haig drilled a 26-yard field goal to put the Herd up 41-38.
Marshall led 38-17 with 2:29 left in the third quarter after Cato's 5-yard touchdown run on a keeper, but Houston used a spot pass on the Herd's squib kick to set up a 59-yard return that gave the Cougars possession at the Herd 19.
One play later, Houston quarterback Crawford Jones, who was subbing in for injured starter David Piland, connected with Shane Ros on a 19-yard score to start the comeback.
Over the next five minutes, Jones would connect with Xavier Maxwell for a 58-yard score on a bubble screen and Deontay Greenberry on a 7-yard scoring pass to knot the game with 10:47 remaining.
It was a quick turn of events for a game that looked like it was over at halftime.
"We have to find a way to finish games," Marshall head coach Doc Holliday said. "That game's where it is at halftime and we have to find a way to come out and finish."
Marshall's offense clicked from the game's onset, racking up 383 yards en route to a 31-10 halftime lead.
The most dynamic play came on its final drive of the first half when Cato scrambled out of pressure to keep a play alive before throwing a lateral to running back Kevin Grooms.
Grooms followed by making a first man miss, reversing field and essentially setting up his blockers down the sideline for a 69-yard touchdown run. He finished with a career-high 155 yards on 21 carries.
"(Cato) was under so much pressure that I made sure I yelled 'Cato, Cato,'" Grooms said. "He looked and threw the ball. I had a lineman in front of me, and I let them take care of the cornerback.
"I made a cut back inside, and I knew I had one guy to beat. My coach always teaches us you better not let one man catch you. From there, it was all she wrote. I had to get to the end zone. It was special. It was an electrifying moment."
Prior to that, Cato had found success both short and long. Following a pump-and-go, Cato finally found the deep ball he's been looking for, hitting Davonte Allen on a 46-yard touchdown pass to make it 24-7 after Houston had gotten on the board with a 3-yard scoring pass from Jones to Ros.
Early on, Houston had trouble moving the ball. The Herd defense forced Houston to punt on its first five drives with four of those drives being three-and-outs.
The defensive presence enabled Marshall to jump out to a 17-0 lead early in the second quarter.
Cato hit senior Antavious Wilson on a 19-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive of the game -- the first time Marshall has scored on the opening drive since the Ohio game on Sept. 15.
After a 23-yard field goal by Haig made it 10-0, Cato hit Tommy Shuler on a 5-yard touchdown pass with 9:11 left in the second quarter to make it a three-score game.
Shuler caught nine passes for 105 yards. Wilson had 72 yards on seven catches and the score in his final game at home.
Jones was 31 of 44 passing for 316 yards and five touchdowns for Houston (4-7, 3-4), who was eliminated from being eligible for a bowl game.
Houston running back Charles Sims attempted to play on a badly-injured ankle, but left the game in the second quarter.
Now, Marshall goes to East Carolina for a Friday contest in Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium with bowl eligibility on the line for the Herd. Kickoff is 2 p.m. on the CBS Sports Network.

The buzz around Valentine's Day is amazing – pro and con. Make it "Love Day" where if nothing else, you do nice things for yourself — and share love with others however and whenever possible.
Dear Liz,
Why is it my boyfriend and I tend to get into a fight about a week or less before Valentine's Day. We've been dating for four years, pretty seriously, and basically get along pretty well. We have been talking about marriage. But it is uncanny. What might we be doing wrong?
Baffled with a partly broken heart
Dear "Baffled,"
It is very common to have more tension around a day filled with expectations. Look at what couples often go through as their weddings draw close. So, my question would be, have you talked about how you want to/like to celebrate? It is vital there is an agreement of some sort. Now, we of the female type would love for our loved ones to read our minds and hear our hints and know us well enough to know these things. Most want to be surprised and often fantasize about what will happen. Often, it doesn't and - boom - disappointment. We hear stories from friends or read on Facebook amazing things loved ones do, and they are glorified in commercials and movies. So we get set up or set up ourselves for disappointment. Instead, decide on what you want that is in the budget and discuss it. Sometimes the sweetest experiences come from getting out of ourselves and doing nice things for others. How about take a lonely widow out to dinner together? Or volunteer at a local animal shelter or homeless center together? My vote is to work on romance and consideration for one another everyday – with surprises and acts of kindness that are not anticipated. This can work with groups of friends and family as well. You don't have to be in a couple to be a true Valentine to someone.
Dear Liz,
This may sound weird for a fairly successful, professional parent of three good kids to say, but I have a teacher's conference coming up and I feel intimidated by some of my middle-schooler's teachers. They are good teachers, don't get me wrong, but they seem so perfect and I get the vibe perfection is expected. My seventh-grader does fairly well and is pretty independent with her school work, but the last conference left my knees shaking. I felt as if I was being judged as a parent and a person because my daughter had failed to bring in some - completed by the way - assignments. Yes, I'm sensitive, but usually am really OK. What's up with this?
Dear "Dreading,"
You are not alone in these feelings. But realize, they are feelings, brought on by thoughts, conscious or subconscious, that can even stem from a failure of your own at that age, or problems with teachers when you were in school. We as parents are emotionally invested in our kids, and as our kids become a little more obnoxious in middle/high school, it allows us to let go some - in a healthy way - and allow them to eventually leave home. As for the teachers, be clear about the purpose of the meeting, make a list of your own questions and prepared to take notes. Listen. Ask for clarification. It sounds like you are doing a great job, as is your daughter. Do not give up your "OK-ness" to anyone. Just get their professional advice for your child's school success, appreciate them, help your daughter follow through, and keep your head held high. You are actually on the same team.

- Aus der Masse die Klasse: wer ist der Top-Kandidat? : Einblicke in die digitale Personalbeschaffung der Zukunft (2005)
- Wie können Unternehmen bei der Auswahl von Bewerbern zukünftig besser zwischen Quantität und Qualität abwägen? Welche Wege sollten Kandidaten bei der Suche nach ihrem Wunscharbeitgeber einschlagen? Fragen, mit denen sich die Frankfurter Wirtschaftsinformatiker beschäftigen. Das Internet hat in den letzten Jahren die Personalbeschaffung erobert: Viele große und mittlere Unternehmen suchen ihr neues Personal inzwischen überwiegend auf elektronischem Weg. So lassen sich nicht nur die Kosten für das Personalmarketing deutlich reduzieren, auch die Rekrutierungszeiten werden kürzer. Doch gleichzeitig sehen sich die Unternehmen einer wachsenden Flut von Bewerbern gegenüber: Stellensuchende nutzen – verstärkt durch den Druck des Arbeitsmarkts – zunehmend die Chance, ihre Bewerbung über das Internet schnell, kostengünstig und an mehrere Unternehmen gleichzeitig elektronisch zu versenden. Um schnell die relevantesten Bewerber für ausgeschriebene Stellen zu identifizieren, benötigen die Unternehmen entsprechende Tools. Das Team um Wolfgang König und Tobias Keim erforscht innovative Lösungen.
- General cost analysis for scholarly communication in Germany : results of the "Houghton Report" for Germany (2012)
- Management Summary: Conducted within the project "Economic Implications of New Models for Information Supply for Science and Research in Germany", the Houghton Report for Germany provides a general cost and benefit analysis for scientific communication in Germany comparing different scenarios according to their specific costs and explicitly including the German National License Program (NLP). Basing on the scholarly lifecycle process model outlined by Björk (2007), the study compared the following scenarios according to their accounted costs: - Traditional subscription publishing, - Open access publishing (Gold Open Access; refers primarily to journal publishing where access is free of charge to readers, while the authors or funding organisations pay for publication) - Open Access self-archiving (authors deposit their work in online open access institutional or subject-based repositories, making it freely available to anyone with Internet access; further divided into (i) CGreen Open Access' self-archiving operating in parallel with subscription publishing; and (ii) the 'overlay services' model in which self-archiving provides the foundation for overlay services (e.g. peer review, branding and quality control services)) - the NLP. Within all scenarios, five core activity elements (Fund research and research communication; perform research and communicate the results; publish scientific and scholarly works; facilitate dissemination, retrieval and preservation; study publications and apply the knowledge) were modeled and priced with all their including activities. Modelling the impacts of an increase in accessibility and efficiency resulting from more open access on returns to R&D over a 20 year period and then comparing costs and benefits, we find that the benefits of open access publishing models are likely to substantially outweigh the costs and, while smaller, the benefits of the German NLP also exceed the costs. This analysis of the potential benefits of more open access to research findings suggests that different publishing models can make a material difference to the benefits realised, as well as the costs faced. It seems likely that more Open Access would have substantial net benefits in the longer term and, while net benefits may be lower during a transitional period, they are likely to be positive for both 'author-pays' Open Access publishing and the 'over-lay journals' alternatives ('Gold Open Access'), and for parallel subscription publishing and self-archiving ('Green Open Access'). The NLP returns substantial benefits and savings at a modest cost, returning one of the highest benefit/cost ratios available from unilateral national policies during a transitional period (second to that of 'Green Open Access' self-archiving). Whether 'Green Open Access' self-archiving in parallel with subscriptions is a sustainable model over the longer term is debateable, and what impact the NLP may have on the take up of Open Access alternatives is also an important consideration. So too is the potential for developments in Open Access or other scholarly publishing business models to significantly change the relative cost-benefit of the NLP over time. The results are comparable to those of previous studies from the UK and Netherlands. Green Open Access in parallel with the traditional model yields the best benefits/cost ratio. Beside its benefits/cost ratio, the meaningfulness of the NLP is given by its enforceability. The true costs of toll access publishing (beside the buyback" of information) is the prohibition of access to research and knowledge for society.
- Mindfully Resisting the Bandwagon – IT Implementation and Its Consequences in the Financial Crisis (2013)
- Although the "financial meltdown" between 2007 and 2009 can be substantially attributed to herding behaviour in the subprime market for credit default swaps, a "mindless" IT implementation of participating financial services providers played a major role in the facilitation of the underlying bandwagon. The problem was a discrepancy between two core complementary capabilities: (1.) the (economic-rationalistic) ability to execute financial transactions (to comply with the herd) in milliseconds and (2.) the required contextualized mindfulness capabilities to comprehend the implications of the transactions being executed and the associated IT innovation decisions that enabled these transactions.

- The Best!!! Review by Karen (Posted on 2/28/15)
Of all the Ahava's products, this is my personal favorite, your skin will love you for using the mineral botanic body lotion
- AWESOME! Review by Jean Ann (Posted on 1/13/14)
I love this lotion! It brings my dry skin back to life! The lotion goes on smoothly without being sticky or greasy. The fragrance is wonderful. Mixing it with your favorite musky type perfume is heaven! This also makes my hands feel so good! You won't be disappointed in this one! :)
- IN LOVE Review by Denise (Posted on 12/17/13)
I've recently discovered the Mineral Botanic Body Lotion in the Hibiscus & Fig and I have fallen in love with it! I absolutely LOVE the fragrance and the quality of the lotion is very, very good. I live in a northern climate and the winter months are extremely drying. This lotion has kept me very hydrated since we've turned on the heating system. I can't recommend this enough!
If I had one negative to say about it, I would wish the scent would stay a bit longer. I can't wear perfumes and this is just right. A matching body spray or spritz would be a welcome addition!
- good stuff Review by yanni (Posted on 4/20/13)
Love this product smells and feels great on my skin.
- Invigorating, fresh, and sexy! Review by Jen (Posted on 4/15/13)
The lotions feels wonderful on the skin. It's very nourishing and creamy texture. Has such a fragrant that is invigorating, fresh, and sexy. Once you try this AHAVA lotion, other lotions cannot compare.
- Love this! Review by Mia (Posted on 4/14/13)
This moisturizes beautifully and has a pleasing floral scent. Highly recommend!
- Love it! Review by Raven (Posted on 1/2/13)
Wonderfully soft shea butter lotion feels great and smells even better! Lovely light floral aroma is very pleasing. Use right after your shower while skin is still damp for best results.
- Botanical Experience! Review by Lavette (Posted on 7/30/12)
I feel so nourished and pampered when I use this lotion. Make sure you purchase the twin shower gel to go with it. This body lotion is creamy and nourishing. This lotion is divine. It's not greasy or sticky. It just leaves your skin hydrated. You truly feel like you are at the spa when you use this product. Note: I have the shower gel and the body lotion in this fragrance and my skin feels amazing!
- I ADORE this Review by katie (Posted on 4/25/12)
I have to say, I absolutely adore this lotion. It smells amazing (very light but still noticable). I bought the duo with this and the body wash, and I have to say, my skin has never felt this soft!! I've been a lover of bath and body works for years because they always have great scents, but their lotions always seem to feel greesey or over powering. I got this stuff as a sample from an Ulta makeup purchase and I fell in love. My skin is soft and supple as well as smells naturally amazing. I recommend this to anyone, it is worth the cost. It will also last you a while too. 13.3 oz. will take a few months even for just your whole body. Worth the price.

The Aiken Mall has been sold for $9.8 million, according to the County Master-in-Equity office.
U.S. Bank National Association, which held the mortgage for the mall located off Whiskey Road, purchased the property during the monthly auction held at the Aiken County Courthouse on Tuesday. According to Nicole Garrison-Sprenger of the bank's media relations, the bank is a trustee of that account, and technically doesn't own the property but rather it now belongs to investors of that trust.
The mall was removed several times from the auction over the last few months. The prior owner of the 35 acres on which the mall sits, Aiken Mall Acquisitions LLC, owed approximately $28.5 million, including interest and late fees, to U.S. Bank.
David Penix, a local commercial real estate consultant, was at the auction and said the winning bidder left as soon as the purchase was made. Penix said the bank purchasing the property is not an uncommon practice.
Penix feels this is a good sign for the Aiken Mall.
"This transaction is a big plus because it's a signal for new life to go into the mall," Penix said.
The Aiken Mall opened in the 1980s, and Penix said the building is still in fairly good shape with a "wealthy" population living nearby, which is a good formula for the mall's success.
Penix said with an active owner that can market and operate the mall, the potential for it to improve is there.
Over the years, many spaces of the mall have become vacant and it has mostly consisted of large chain stores such as JC Penneys and Sears.
Amy Banton is the County reporter with the Aiken Standard and has been with the publication since May 2010.

My very first guest post on another foodie's blog. And not just any blog. Mowielicious. Stunning in its simplicity, dramatic in color and style, desserts as luscious, rich and beautiful as the photography, I fell in love with Mowie's blog on my first visit. When Mowie asked me to guest post on Mowielicious, I was amazed, thrilled and nervous; how could my simple, homey desserts, my flamboyant writing, my oh-so-personal tales of food and family fit into the beauty that he creates? But say no to Mowie? Not a chance! We've become such friends, that why not accomplices as well? Images flitted through my brain of us cooking and writing together, like the Dynamic Duo of the kitchen, his yin of culinary and artistic/photographic talents and my yang of writing, like Batman and Batgirl, like Peel and Steed, bringing excitement and adventure to the Gotham City of the food blog world! So I set out to create something beautiful, something special for him.
A thing of beauty has always had a profound effect on me. The rich beauty of a Van Eyck, the brooding beauty of a Rothko make my knees weak and send shivers up my spine. The magnificent splendor of the Cathedral in Sienna, the majesty of Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater leave me breathless. I bury my face in a bouquet of flowers, breathing in the heady scent of beauty. A handmade quilt made with loving hands, a milliner's confection of straw and feathers and plump silk flowers, the perfect picture of feminine beauty. And when it comes to food, place before me a chef's creation, carefully, thoughtfully plated, tender slices of meat or fruit, a drizzle of a fragrant sauce, delicate tiny vegetables or light-as-air mousse, the red of red raspberries and currents or deep pumpkin orange, spun sugar like angel's hair or swirls of chocolate, and my eyes fill with tears. I breath deeply to capture the aroma, every essence, every spice, I turn my eyes back to the beauty before me, I am overcome with emotion and I am reluctant to destroy the magic.
Mowie's blog has this effect on me. The stunning simplicity of his blog, the lushness of his photography, rich, deep colors against stark white, sensual and mysterious, the beauty of his culinary creations and I am in awe, once again breathless, speechless. His talent bursts from the whiteness of the page, his sincerity and honesty spill across the screen. It is truly a thing of beauty.

MIDDLESBORO, Ky. -- A snake-handling pastor who appeared on the National Geographic television reality show "Snake Salvation" has died after being bitten by a snake during a weekend church service in Kentucky.
Jamie Coots was handling a rattlesnake at his Full Gospel Tabernacle in Jesus Name Church in Middlesboro when he was bitten on the hand Saturday night, another preacher, Cody Winn, told WBIR-TV. After the bite, Coots dropped the snakes, but then picked them back up and continued on. Within minutes, Winn said Coots headed to the bathroom.
"He had one of the rattlers in his hand, he came over and he was standing beside me. It was plain view, it just turned its head and bit him in the back of the hand ... within a second," Winn said.
When an ambulance arrived at the church at 8:30 p.m. Saturday, they were told Coots had gone home, the Middlesboro Police Department said in a statement. Contacted at his house, Coots refused medical treatment.
Emergency workers left about 9:10 p.m. that night. When they returned about an hour later, Coots was dead from a venomous snake bite, police added.
The snake-handling pastor's son, Cody Coots, told the television station his dad had been bit eight times before, but never had had such a severe reaction. The son said he had thought the bite would be just like all the others.
"We're going to go home, he's going to lay on the couch, he's going to hurt, he's going to pray for a while and he's going to get better. That's what happened every other time, except this time was just so quick and it was crazy, it was really crazy," Cody Coots said.
In January 2013, Coots was caught transporting three rattlesnakes and two copperheads through Knoxville, Tenn. Wildlife officials confiscated the snakes, and Coots pleaded guilty to illegally wildlife possession. He was given one year of unsupervised probation.
National Geographic said in a statement that it was struck by Coots' "devout religious convictions despite the health and legal peril he often faced."
"Those risks were always worth it to him and his congregants as a means to demonstrate their unwavering faith," the statement said. "We were honored to be allowed such unique access to pastor Jamie and his congregation during the course of our show, and give context to his method of worship."
Coots said in February 2013 that he needed the snakes for religious reasons, citing a Bible passage in the book of Mark that reads, in part: "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
The pastor said that year that he took that passage at face value.
"We literally believe they want us to take up snakes," Coots told The Associated Press at the time. "We've been serpent handling for the past 20 or 21 years."
In 1995, 28-year-old Melinda Brown, of Parrottsville, Tenn., died after being bitten at Coot's church by a 4-foot-long timber rattlesnake. Her relatives disputed accounts that the mother of five had been holding the snake that bit her and disagreed with witnesses who said she refused medical treatment as she suffered the effects of the venom for two days at Coots' home.
The Bell County attorney at the time wanted to prosecute under a 1942 state law that made it illegal to handle or display snakes during religious services. But the judge refused to sign the criminal complaint.
"If the court thought that a trial would act to deter future snake handling in church, my decision would be different," Bell District Judge James Bowling Jr. wrote to the county attorney. "But you and I both know that this practice is not going to stop until either rattlesnakes or snake handlers become extinct."

Firas Zahabi: Georges St. Pierre
On whether St. Pierre is less likely than other champs to be fighting when hes 35: I think so because his training camps are not sustainable forever. His training camps are very difficult. Ive done a lot of training camps. I could tell you the energy, time and money and hours spent doing a GSP training camp is ridiculous. Its borderline insane. Theres a lot of effort going into preparing him for his fights. Can he live this lifestyle for another four or five years? I dont know. Because its not a balanced lifestyle. Its not a balanced lifestyle for him.
Hes giving up a lot of free time and leisure time and experiences he could be having in life to maintain his title, to maintain this excellence. Its a difficult thing to do. Hes going to have to make that choice one fight at a time. Does he want to go through another training camp? Right now at this time, yes, for sure. Theres no doubt in my mind he wants to do another one, but down the line, two or three more training camps, is he still going to want to do it? Thats up to him. Does he still have the fire and the passion? Well see.
On the idea of St. Pierre cleaning out the welterweight division: They always say that. Theyve been saying that since the B.J. Penn fight at UFC 94. Theres nobody else, theres nobody else. Theres always a guy that pops up. Jake Ellenberger looked great, and then theres going to be another guy. Theres Demian Maia. Demian Maias on a win streak. Theres always an up-and-comer. You cant forget that every time theres a show, the deck gets shuffled. Thats why I dont really believe theres nobody else. Look at Robbie Lawler, for instance. He had a tremendous win. Very impressive win. That guy can hit you with one punch and its over. Same thing with Jake Ellenberger, same thing with [Johny] Hendricks.
There are so many studs out there. Tomorrow, when you run out of them, the next day youll find a new guy with a great performance, like Erick Silva, for instance. Im sure hes going to go on a winning streak. He just lost to Jon Fitch. I wouldnt be surprised if he wins three, four fights in a row. I wouldnt be surprised at all. It wouldnt shock me the least bit, and he could become a No. 1 contender. Theres always going to be another guy. Theres too many good guys out there. I think its a myth that the division can be cleaned out.
On the jab in MMA: Everybody kind of thinks they know how to jab, but they really dont. A lot of times you show them the real jabbing mechanics, different types of jabs for different types of situations, and I havent come across many MMA fighters that are familiar with the system of jabbing. Its very complex. Its not that simple. When to jab, how to jab, the context. When can you jab without paying for it? Without getting clipped? Without getting countered?
You saw Georges jab [Nick] Diaz beautifully. It was a good punch to keep Diaz on his heels. Diaz, once he gets going with two-, three-punch combinations, then it becomes an avalanche of flurries and you cant stop him. Once he gets going like that, you cant stop him. Georges used the jab not to even let him get going. He cut him off, just like he did with [Josh] Koscheck. Sometimes the jab is called for, and sometimes its not. The biggest weakness to a jab is the kick. If a guys a powerful kicker, its hard to jab. Like [Carlos] Condit is a little bit harder to jab because he has such a powerful kick. A round kick could beat a jab, but any punch will lose to a jab. If you throw an uppercut and I throw a jab correctly, Ill beat your uppercut. Ill beat your hook. Ill beat your overhand right. If I jab correctly, a jab should cut off any punch.

Challenge: I Am Showing You Mine But Will You Show Me Yours?
I've got an idea for a bit of a challenge and want to invite you all to take part….
The challenge is to make a video and post it on your blogs. It can be of anything you feel comfortable doing and if you've never created a video then this is your push to do so.
We're all able to carry out certain tasks on our PC's so why not record yourself doing one of them?
I'm no Spielberg but I have created a few videos and how I got started was by recording myself setting up an auto reply message on Outlook Express. It's a simple video, which is displayed lower in the post, and it has been my most popular with over 2,900 views. It was created with free software so all it cost me was my time, so there's no excuse!
Here's a few ideas you could start with:
Cloaking affiliate links
Adding an image to a page or blog
Creating a payment button
Creating an Image
Creating an eBook cover
Creating a Hyperlink
Branding an eBook
How to create an ebook
An HTML lesson
Creating an auto reply message
Gmail tips
Twitter tips
Facebook tips
Adding something to your blogs
There are endless topics that you could cover but for now just pick one that you're comfortable doing. Maybe something you do day in day out. Maybe you have a skill that some of us don't, in which case show us it. You never know it could lead to another string in your bow.
By all means visit my YouTube Channel and get some ideas from the videos I've created. Maybe you think I made mistakes in them or could have explained something better, if so make the same videos and correct my mistakes. Don't let your voice put you off, you can tell that I haven't had any elocution lessons cor I even have to remember my T's and H's 😉
The only rules are:
- It must be suitable for everyone to watch.
- It must be created from today onwards.
Please Note: I will check all videos and if any were created before today they will not be allowed in the challenge.
You have until Monday 22nd August to create your video and submit your post details to me with the URL and a sentence or two about the post/video. I will then write a post on Tuesday 23rd and I will link to every post that is taking part.
Now think about this: As I said we all have skills in different fields so this could highlight your skills to people that need them. Now imagine an additional income stream created from your skill. Never mind Fiverr this could link you to each other directly and solve any outsourcing problems. You never know we may even build our own little team of contacts.
If you've never done this before don't worry. I've placed a video below showing you how to upload to YouTube and then how to place the videos on your blogs.
There is free software available for creating your videos:
I got started using Camstudio and it's really easy to use as I detail in a video in a previous post: The software I use to create these videos
Ok as promised at the start of the post: I'm showing you my first ever video:
I didn't do too bad……did I? So come on lets get filming, yeah? Any job you're comfortable doing will be spot on, I promise you 😉
Here's how you upload them to YouTube and then onto your blogs, please excuse my coughs:
So are you up for the challenge?
Would your friends be up for it?
Will you help me get the word out about the challenge?
As an added bonus the following week, 30th August, I'll create another video showing everyone my top ten traffic sources for the period of the challenge. Meaning those that help me spread the word of the challenge have a very good chance of being mentioned, and linked to, on the 30th as well.
Will you be in that top ten?
So what do you think, are you up for the challenge?
Until next time, shoot to thrill 😉
