Let us continue to ask the Lord to spare the beloved Syrian people further suffering, and to enable the parties in conflict to put an end to all violence and guarantee access to humanitarian aid. We have seen how powerful prayer is! And I am happy today too, that the followers of different religious confessions are joining us in our prayer for peace in Syria. Let us never lose the courage of prayer! The courage to say: Lord, grant your peace to Syria and to the whole world."(AP Photo)

Gallery: Building Trust International Highlights Solutions for Affordab...
The winning design was produced by London-based Levitt Bernstein Associates. Their design, entitled Pop Up HAWSE (Homes through Apprenticeships With Skills for Employment) tackles homelessness in the London Borough of Hackney. Their premise is to rent out existing garages in the area, and install prefabricated HAWSE units with a bedroom and shower room. Communal kitchens, dining, and laundry rooms are provided for every five units. The most impressive design feature is the cost; the cost of these units is approximately £13,000 each.
The sustainability of Levitt Bernstein's Pop Up HAWSE revolves around inexpensive passive strategies and reusing as much of the construction components as possible. Local products, local labor, and modularization help to keep this an economically, socially, and environmentally responsible project.
Nine other projects won 'Honorable' mention awards for their innovative and provocative designs. Proposals included everything from new construction to reuse of old train cars and culverts. Permaculture was the topic of a few of these units in a way of providing users with an easy and passive source of food. Design locations came from all over the world including London, North Carolina, Los Angeles, Denmark, and Hong Kong. Growth in the submission to Building Trust International's frequent design competitions is a great indicator of the world's continual desire to help others through design and construction.

Svindal takes the Super G Globe
Aksel Lund Svindal finished outside the points but being the box seat in terms of the race for the season long Globe meant that others had to score big points. With Beat Feuz crashing out in the race, it meant that Didier Cuche in his last speed race on the World Cup tour had to place in the top five and things were tight in the leading group. Christof Innerhofer won the race by just two hundredths of a second from Alexis Pinturault with Marcel Hirscher in third.
"I didn't ski too good today," explained Svindal, "so in a way I did not accomplish what I had in mind this morning. But, the globe is an award for the whole season and not for a single day or race so I'll take it. It was tight at the top, Didier had to be among the top four or five to beat me and there wasn't much room up there. I had a feeling that it could be tough for both Feuz and Cuche to take the globe from me but I still wanted to ski really fast and make their task as difficult as I could. I am good GS skier, and this Super G was a lot like a GS- I was just not able to find the rhythm on top and it was over for me."
Didier Cuche will officially flip the skis for one last time in the Giant Slalom on Saturday. With his illustrious career nearing its end, how does he feel? "I am feeling ok now, I am still looking forward to the GS on Saturday and am just happy that at the moment I am able to have my emotions under control."
Matthias Mayer lead home four HEAD World Cup Rebels with seventh place. Kjetil Jansrud took eighth, Didier Cuche ninth and Ted Ligety in tenth.

The first real test of my break from the religion of my childhood occurred on a flight from Guam back to Vietnam, when I was a 25-year-old U.S. Army captain. An explosion rocked the overloaded jetliner minutes after takeoff—a rumble so violent, one of the stewardesses dropped her tray and dashed through the aisle up front. Nervously, the pilot announced the plane had blown an engine, and quickly he began steering low over the Pacific to dump fuel.
With the sea rushing interminably beneath us, my mind slammed involuntarily into reverse, flashing back through my childhood days in Alabama—past the cowboy movies, the cotton fields, the marble-shooting. Never once through the grim ride did I reach for my King James Bible, a family gift I lugged on trips, out of habit. Rather, I thumbed through my dog-eared copies of Letters From the Earth and The Way of Zen, skimming passages in a reach for calm. It was as if, instead of the Scriptures, the writings of heathen Mark Twain and Alan Watts, a lapsed Christian, held the keys to the kingdom. During this close encounter with bliss eternal, I felt utterly alone, worried, but somehow relieved of the fear of death.
My mother would have been disappointed that I did not resort to calling upon Jesus as the Captain of the sweet chariot "coming for to carry me home." But the Christian faith of my childhood no longer seemed to hold sway. Before I could ponder the vacuum, the wheels of the Boeing 707 screeched down on the tarmac of the Guam runway, lined with fire trucks.
Since that harrowing episode some four decades ago, I've been on a spiritual quest to replace the blind faith of my childhood with something of value. Originally imbued with the certainty that every word of religious dogma is true, my outlook has gone through halting stages of doubt and tinkering, to a point where nearly all my beliefs have been in question. It is as if the rocket that launched me as a Christian in my childhood fell away, freeing me up to finally achieve orbit, a circuitous journey that only recently has been consummated.
In my Tuscaloosa home of the 1940s it was my grandmother, Ma Mae, who taught me the Ten Commandments and instilled, mainly through fear, a belief in the infallibility of Jesus Christ. We kept the Devil at bay with all-day Sunday prayer and Bible study throughout the week. The mere reading of King James poetry inspired me with its biblical beauty, but it was my early discovery of Rev. C.L. Franklin's mail-order sermons, with their powerful moral lessons, that made Christianity more accessible.
At age 12, I confessed my sins, such as they were, during a "revival meeting," professed a belief that a resurrected Christ had died to redeem me from them—and thus saw myself escaping an eternity of hellfire reserved for nonbelievers. Two weeks later the frail pastor of our church, Rev. J.R. Dixon, baptized me in a creek where dairy cattle drank downstream.
The next year my family moved to Hartford, where I entered high school and joined a local church. Teaching a Baptist training class and singing solos in the choir nourished my faith through graduation. During my freshman year at the University of Connecticut, however, my horse-and-buggy fundamentalism collided headlong with a philosophy course. Reading European thinkers on religion raised questions about tenets of my accepted Baptist dogma. By the end of my sophomore year the freight train of Nietzsche, Camus, and Sartre had splintered my wooden wagon at the crossing, and the wreckage was dragged miles down the track by Feuerbach, Kant, and even Kierkegaard, who was supposed to have been one of us Christians.

I just dropped my 540lb ADV bike (g e n t l y ) and bent the tube steel pannier frame. This is the 1/2" dia steel tube frame from which you hang the two pannier or saddlebag boxes from on an adventure-type motorcycle. This inspired the design and inclusion of spring steel struts to connect the pannier frame to the motorcycle frame in order to absorb the energy of a fall and eliminate the problem of bending the pannier frame.
My partner and I are totally greenhorns when it comes to welding. I would appreciate your expertise and advide. My questions are as follows:
Can you successfully weld carbon spring steel?
Can we expect a sound joint?
If so, what specific spring steel, welding techniques, preparations, and prescriptions should we observe?
Thanks so much,

sure, you can weld it, but you will alter the mechanical properties of the steel in the area of the weld. Preheat and slow cool will increase your chances of getting a good weld.
you didn't mention what welding process you have access to, so its hard to make any specific recommendations.
also, the "welding discussion" forum is much more active so if you repost this there you will get more and better answers than the one i provided.

The spring steel in the welded area (heat affected zone HAZ) will lose it's temper and act like mild steel. You should try to let it cool slowly to prevent the steel from hardening.Miller syncrowave 200 runner with coolmate 4

Hey Howard C,
You received the correct response from SundownIII......
Yes, you can successfully repair/weld spring steel...... problem is that it's no longer "spring steel".
Yes, you can expect a sound joint...... problem is that it's no longer "spring steel".
Your last question can be answered by simply ordering a new part......

Bulletin #15: How to Recognize–and Prevent–Hazard Trees
Some excellent publications are available that expand on the material presented in Bulletin No. 15. Here are two books that we recommend:
A Photographic Guide to the Evaluation of Hazard Trees in Urban Areasby Nelda P. Matheny and James R. Clark
This is a very thorough treatment of a very important topic. This 72-page book is well illustrated and presented in a style that is easy to understand. Evaluation methods and forms are included, and a description of structural failure histories for over 100 species and cultivars. Available fromP.O. Box 3129Champaign, IL 61826-3129
Tree Risk Managementby E. Thomas Smiley, Bruce R. Fraedrich and Neil Hendrickson.
50 pages with illustrations. This how-to publication includes the results of research that can be used in helping to decide if decaying trees are still safe, or more likely to fail. Available fromBartlett Tree Research Laboratories13768 Hamilton RoadCharlotte, NC 28278704-588-1150
Probably no other single individual has done as much research and public education about understanding tree decay and hazards as the late Dr. Alex Shigo, former chief scientist and project leader with the USDA Forest Service. His various publications and other materials are now available online. Of particular interest here is his leaflet, Tree Hazards–13 Questions That Could Save a Life. For more information, please visit
Magazine Article
Tree Risk Assessment–What We Know and What We Don't Know is an excellent article by Nelda Matheny and Jim Clark that appeared in the February, 2000 Arborist News. Fortunately, it is also provided online by the International Society of Arboriculture.
Risk Assessment Course and Exam
The Pacific Northwest Chapter of the International Society of Arboriculture has been a leader in providing arborists with extra training in tree risk assessment. Those who successfully complete a course offered by the chapter several times each year receive certification for this special activity and are listed at the chapter's website.

Altitude is located at 1530 metres, on the piste, in the main Les Gets ski area of Les Chavannes and next to all the lifts. Green, red and blue pistes weave back to the terrace through the woods. We bought this property in 2008 and spent three years building the discerning skiers dream. There is a piste side bar, lounge terrace and lunchtime restaurant open to the public during the day and operated. Residents have exclusive use of two small private lounges with an open fire and flat screen entertainment. Our chef also offers a flexible menu plan with choice of dishes for evening dining.On the ground floor there is a wet suite with sauna and massage room plus access to the outdoor hot tub. By day there is a family room for children to play in comfort, a facility for Mum and Dad to sterilize bottles and for teenagers to battle with the Wii; by night this becomes a spectacular cinema with HD projector, 92" screen and sounds to make a grown man weep. After 24 years in the game, we think that we might have at last conceived and delivered the ultimate skiing venue. As one of our dedicated family chalets, infants and children are welcome in this chalet all season long.A completely unique position overlooking the pistes, lifts and nursery slopes of Chavannes, 300m vertically above the village centre.

Rated 4.5 out of 5�by 248 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5�by tjsback9 above average glove This is the second time I have purchased this 2-pak of gloves. They are mid priced but last a long time and take some good abuse. They hold their grip in wet weather as well as any glove I have tried. I would purchase again September 20, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by Pasco84 FootJoy Golf Gloves Last Longer I play golf 3-4 times a week during the Fall/Summer/Spring and as much as possible during the Winter. I always wear a glove. I usually go through one glove per year. Last year my kids bought me a Nike glove for my birthday in June. it was worn out by the end of August. Not only the palm part but also the stitching around my wrist. I had to finish the year with my old FootJoy which was still in good enough shape. Thanks, B February 17, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5�by Maverick Best golf glove ever used for the right price This glove will hold up very well in all conditions I use nothing else! I've used more expensive gloves they tear easily and are way more money for the price and quality you can't do better' December 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by Stan5064 Price & Quality can't be beat Have been using the WeatherSof gloves for a long time because they are durable, don't make me sweat any more than other gloves, and give good performance. I like that they sell them in a 2-pack for a reasonable price. Worth purchasing! November 4, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by RECORDMAN GREAT GOLF GLOVE A REALLY GOOD VALUE ON THIS TWIN PACK GOLF GLOVE . October 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Sandman23 Very good with one issue Glove performed as expected. I had an issue with the stitching on the index finger at the tip. On most gloves, the stitching will sit just above the tip of my finger while this one wanted to push down between the nail and finger tip. I was focusing more on this than the shot I needed to hit. Specs are men's left hand-medium. October 22, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5�by Trails_golfer Good Enough Good product. In the summer heat a Cabretta leather glove takes a beating. The synthetic material of this glove does not provide the same feel as a leather glove but it fits true and will hold up to heat and perspiration. August 26, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by DJB Foot Joy Golf Glove Only golf glove I wear; bought at Dicks in Melbourne FL; good service; quick check out July 29, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5�by JonC Excellent Value at an Excellent Price A two pack at this price is a great value. Great gloves at a great price!! October 22, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5�by nohacker Work great for me these really last. They are on the thicker side, but just the right mix of feel and durability. I also like that they are available in the cadet as well as regular sizes. This is the only brand and model I buy any more. October 11, 2013

If the rack is going up against a wall I might consider making the front feet a fraction of an inch taller (depends on height) than the rear one say half or quarter of an inch. This will help keep it from falling forward somewhat if you don't or cant anchor the rack for some reason. If you do this I'd also say to add something to the back to keep the wood from damaging the wall in case of bad/careless stacking just in case.
I am overwhelmed by the excellent responses- Thank You.
I am downsizing it based on BodyBaggers calculations- It would be a catastrophe to mess up a nice patio- Thank You. I'll just have to store wood elsewhere and more evenly distributed.
This rack is for the convenience of having a tidy patio area and NOT walking on the grass which will soon be a mucky Oregon clay mess.
I'll get 'er done. Better ponder for a bit more and make sure I meet my homes needs.MillerMatic 140 Auto-Set

Here's a few pics to spark some ideas. Had some bad storms this summer and knocked a few trees down on my property. Had so much wood didn't know what to do with it. A friend gave me a bunch of scrap steel from a pallet for a hot tub and the material laid out perfect for a new firewood rack. I had one already, which was a store bought rack. The store bought one has lasted a long time, longer than I thought it would considering how cheaply constructed it seems. The one I made will definitely outlast it though... was also more fun to put together.Miller 211

I know this is a welding site but
Im all for burning metal but the only way I would a project like this out of steel is if it was free scraps. I built mine out of presure treated and I think think it only cost me like 30 bucks and I even roofed it with leftover shingles I had from my shed.
Just a thought.... Metal will stain a deck or patio atleast mine did. I can take a pic if you want.
Does the water bureau or power company re-schedule when their noise doesn't suit me? No.
I stopped and told her "I do mind" when she asked "would you mind..." her husband, who I previously got along with, is snubbing me. It must be agreat piece of A$$ to put up with other ridiculous requests of that nature.Done raving.
Simple pressure treated posts will help the situation, at least for storing in another area, and it is inexpensive.

I have access to no cost used pipe so that is my material of choice. A problem with tubing of any sort is that the inside is almost impossible to protect so humidity tends to eventually rot it from the inside out especially horizontal members.

That sucks with the nieghbors. Some folks are real goofy like that. I would never tell ask them to stop cutting the grass so my son could sleep. Heck I didnt even say anything to the kid that was screaming up and down the street in his mini bike with no muffler (super loud) when he was napping.
Here are a couple pics to give you an idea of what I did. I painted it to match the shed. I didnt use 4x4 in the ground. Just 2x4's. I can move it if I like. I enclosed the sides with fence picket boards and added a roof to match the shed. Its straight. The angle of the pics through it off. The intent wasnt to take a pic of the wood rack. Its just in the background..
If you want more detail pics, I could walk out and snap some better photos.

Interpretive Handbook
8160 :
Immunoglobulin G (IgG), Serum
Clinical Information Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
The gamma globulin band as seen in conventional serum protein electrophoresis consists of 5 immunoglobulins. In normal serum, about 80% is immunoglobulin G (IgG).
Elevations of IgG may be due to polyclonal immunoglobulin production. Monoclonal elevations of IgG characterize multiple myeloma.
Monoclonal gammopathies of all types may lead to a spike in the gamma globulin zone seen on serum protein electrophoresis.
Decreased immunoglobulin levels are found in patients with congenital deficiencies.
Useful For Suggests clinical disorders or settings where the test may be helpful
Detecting or monitoring of monoclonal gammopathies and immune deficiencies
Interpretation Provides information to assist in interpretation of the test results
Increased serum immunoglobulin concentrations occur due to polyclonal or oligoclonal immunoglobulin proliferation in hepatic disease (hepatitis, liver cirrhosis), connective tissue diseases, acute and chronic infections, as well as in the cord blood of neonates with intrauterine and perinatal infections.
Elevation of immunoglobulin G may occur in monoclonal gammopathies such as multiple myeloma, primary systemic amyloidosis, monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, and related disorders.
Decreased levels are found in patients with primary or secondary immune deficiencies.
Cautions Discusses conditions that may cause diagnostic confusion, including improper specimen collection and handling, inappropriate test selection, and interfering substances
Electrophoresis is usually required to interpret an elevated immunoglobulin class as polyclonal versus monoclonal. Immunofixation is usually required to characterize a monoclonal protein.
If there is a discrete M-peak, the monoclonal protein can be monitored with quantitative immunoglobulins. If immunoglobulin quantitation is used to monitor the size of a monoclonal protein which is contained in a back-ground of polyclonal immunoglobulins, however, changes in the immunoglobulin quantitation may reflect changes in the background immunoglobulins, and serum protein electrophoresis should therefore be used to monitor the monoclonal protein.
Reference Values Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.
0-<5 months: 100-334 mg/dL
5-<9 months: 164-588 mg/dL
9-<15 months: 246-904 mg/dL
15-<24 months: 313-1,170 mg/dL
2-<4 years: 295-1,156 mg/dL
4-<7 years: 386-1,470 mg/dL
7-<10 years: 462-1,682 mg/dL
10-<13 years: 503-1,719 mg/dL
13-<16 years: 509-1,580 mg/dL

Saying No For the Right Reasons
Sooner or later, you're going to hear someone you don't know well—maybe they're an old school acquaintance or a friend of a friend—asking if you'd like to hang out, go on a date, meet for dinner, whatever.
What do you do if you don't want to say yes?
It's not that you don't like this person, but you barely have enough time for the friends and responsibilities you have now. Solution—tell the truth, as nicely as you can: "I'm sorry, but right now my life is incredibly hectic, and my schedule is packed. Why don't you give me your number? Maybe we can get together sometime when things calm down."
One issue people sometimes have a problem with is being too nice. They find that if they're polite and friendly to an acquaintance at a bar, or to a friend of a friend, or to a coworker, or to someone they aren't interested in hanging out with, suddenly they'll get deluged with phone calls inviting them on dates- and, worse still, they don't know how to refuse the invitations.
When your actions and attitudes are friendly, even if you think you're "faking it," other people are going to assume that you enjoy their company. So, what should you do when you encounter those people who you don't want to make a part of your social circle but who are still good people?
Respect them. Respect them for who they are as individuals. Remember that you can still abide by the principles of etiquette- consideration, respect, and honesty- without actually liking someone. You might be honest, considerate, and respectful toward your boss, but that doesn't mean you want to socialize with him. Or maybe you have a family member whom you love but with whom you don't like to hang out.
The key is to look past the obnoxious voice or the annoying mannerisms; then we can begin to listen to the person we are with rather than just contemplating whether or not we like him or her. This is true of anyone we listen to: professor, boss, parent, friend. All have qualities that we choose to ignore so that we can focus on the content of what they're saying. This is where respect comes in. When you interact with someone in a respectful and considerate way, personal idiosyncrasies are forgotten, leaving you to enjoy the conversation.

Chemotherapy Facts
Chemotherapy is not for every cancer patients.
- Chemotherapy is one option available to treat cancer patients.
- The types of medication used and how they are administered depends upon the patient's situation, the type of cancer, and the goal of cancer therapy.
- Chemotherapy affects people in different ways. The most common side effect is fatigue but other more serious complications may occur, depending upon the type of chemotherapy treatment.

Me think's the Dynasty DX is that much better! I too use my syncrowave 180 for a platform to hold my Dynasty 200 DX. The syncrowave hasn't been turned on here for many many months either. On the other hand it's a pretty good machine in it's own right hence I still have it taking up valuable space.

dittos on dynasty
I just got the 200DX and really like it. I guess if you need the requirements of even bigger, get the 300 model, but I think I'd rather use cash to buy bigger argon bottles that the 2 midsize bottles I got, and have both foot and hand control torches.
I used to have a maxstar 150 and liked it alot too, actually thought it ran better and started easier than the 200 DX which I think is saddled with alot of extra baggage having smart power (any input/phase voltage), least ways that's what I'm attributiing to it as same problem exists with maxstar 200 we have at work. The welding supply store recomended thermal arc 180 as best bang for buck and best product support, but I chose to stick with American made Miller after excellent results and product support with Maxstar I had and sold when moved up to Dynasty. I wanted alluminum capability in shop, tho yet to use it.
The difference between the 2 is the differance between a 1965 Mack dumptruck and a 2005 Mack dump truck. Same brand, but much more updated and uses less energy, and alot of new features that may not be necessary for all users but the ones that are doing Aluminum or exotic metals nothing beats the Dynasty. I own a 200DX and have welded with a 300DX and I can't see me ever going back to a traditional transformer machine.
The real difference is that the normal traansformer, operate at 60Htz because that is the wave form of the incoming voltage, the inverters like the dynasty make it possible to adjust the Htz and by adjusting this you can adjust penetration and arc shape and even shake the puddle on alluminum to float out impurities.
The technology also makes it much more efficient, a syncrowave 250 will draw at full load something like 100 amps, whereas the Dynasty 300DX will draw a third as much. What this means is the electric meter doesn't spin as fast and your bill is less. It costs more up front but it will save alot during its lifetime.

But anyway if it were to happen as a wild card we would have to take care of our own business of course. The wc spots right now are Indy and Pitt. Pitt could be without Big Ben for sometime and Indy has a tough schedule. Here are the toughest games the "in the hunt" teams have remaining.
Indy----at NE, Bills, at Lions, at Texans, Titans, Texans
Pitt----at Ravens, Ravens, SD, at Dallas, Cincy
SD----at Denver, Ravens, Cincy, at Pitt
Titans----Texans, Indy, at GB, Jets
Bills----at Indy, Rams, Seattle, at Miami, Jets
Those are just their toughest games in my opinion but in the NFL anything could happen. It's a possibility all of those teams could lose 3 or 4 more games. But we will probably lose 3 or 4 more games as well the way we have looked as of late. But if a miracle would happen I think the wild card is the best option. We would have to sweep the Pats and need them to lose another as well for the division, but we would need to probably sweep them for a WC spot to. It doesnt look good but for those who have hope I would be looking at the wild card for our best chance

Zandra Rhodes is the first fashion designer I became aware of as a child. I think I must have been 10 or 12 when I saw a picture of her in a magazine. I was captivated by her pink hair. I had never imagined that grown-ups could look like her. Certainly none of the mums in my neighbourhood did. I was also drawn to her clothes – long, flowing and bright. When an aunt sent me a colourful chiffon 'butterfly' top from Fiji I was in heaven. I flitted about channelling Zandra and dreaming of the day I could have pink hair. As a grown-up I've never pursued the pink hair, but have remained a Zandra Rhodes fan. As such I was delighted to see her name on the list of designers for Unveiled: 200 Years of Wedding Dress from the Victoria and Albert Museum, London.
While Zandra Rhodes is renowned for her dynamic and skilled use of colour – musician Brian Eno speaks of her bringing 'dashes' of Matisse to the fashion world – the Zandra Rhodes wedding dress in Unveiled is an exercise is sublty. It is rendered in the palest of tones, white on white with a hint of creamy yellow. The dress, I think, is simply the prettiest in the exhibition.
'Zandra's hand-printed chiffon creations of the early seventies brought a sense of flawless etheral beauty to an era that was mostly saying short, youthful, hard-edged and sexy'. Gaby Longhi Chautin

Bloomington, IN (Sports Network) - After a short weather related delay, the game began and Cameron Coffman threw for a career high 315 yards along with three touchdowns as he led the Indiana Hoosiers to a 24-21 Big Ten victory over the Iowa Hawkeyes at Memorial Stadium.
Coffman was 21-of-33 for the Hoosiers(4-5, 2-3 Big Ten). All three touchdown passes went to Cody Latimer, who had seven receptions for 113 yards. Coffman was temporarily pulled early in the game. During that time Nate Sudfeld played and was 10-of-16 for 91 yards, no touchdowns, and an interception.
Other key performers for Indiana were Kofi Hughes, who caught six balls for 110 yards and Ted Bolser, who caught six balls for 82 yards.
For the Hawkeyes(4-5, 2-3 Big Ten), James Vandenberg was 21-of-34 for 249 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. His single touchdown pass went to Kevonte Martin-Manley who had seven catches for 131 yards.
On the ground, Damon Bullock added 83 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries.
Iowa was first to score as Vandenberg threw to Martin-Manley for a 24-yard touchdown. On the following drive Christian Kirksey intercepted a Sudfeld pass and returned it 18 yards for a touchdown giving the Hawkeyes a 14-0 lead.
The Hoosiers got on the board near the end of the first quarter when Mitch Ewald hit a 45-yard field goal. In the second quarter Coffman threw to Latimer for a 15-yard touchdown, capping off a six-play, 87-yard drive. The Hoosiers trailed 14-10 at the end of the first half.
Indiana took the lead in the third quarter when Coffman connected with Latimer a second time, this time for a six-yard touchdown to complete a seven-play, 80-yard drive.
In the fourth quarter Iowa took the lead back, putting together a 10-play, 88-yard drive that resulted in a four-yard touchdown run by Bullock that put the Hawkeyes up 21-17.
To retake the lead, Coffman hit Latimer for their third touchdown connection, this one a 30-yard touchdown pass that put the Hoosiers back on top, 24-21. Indiana held that lead until the end.
Indiana broke an 11-game conference losing streak last week with their win over Illinois, and now with a second consecutive conference victory their season is looking up.
Iowa has now lost three games in a row.

Impossible E?
Print Illusion
An optical illusion is difference between reality and what the brain thinks its seeing. The information gathered by the eye is processed in the brain to give a image that does not agree with a physical measurement of the source. There are three main types: literal optical illusions that create images that are different from the objects that make them, physiological ones that are the effects on the eyes and brain of excessive stimulation of a specific type (brightness, tilt, colour, movement), and cognitive illusions where the eye and brain make unconscious inferences.

BBD Assistant Editor: Joe Marino
Prospects for the 2015 NFL draft have had their opportunities to make a first impression for the 2014 season. That said, the scouting process is a fluid one so putting too much stock into any single performance is foolish. Stacking consistent outings is vital and Week 1 is just the beginning of that process. As we dive into Week 2 of Talent Watch, let's begin by looking back at the players who were most impressive in the inaugural week of the season.
