CORVALLIS, Ore. (AP) Jordan Poyer was confident he would play well heading into Saturday's game against the Cougars.
``To be honest with you - I wouldn't lie to you - I did,'' Oregon State's cornerback said after his three interceptions in the No. 14 Beavers' 19-6 win over the Cougars.
``It's just something you feel.''
With the entire varsity squad from Poyer's alma mater, Astoria (Ore.) High School, attending the game, the senior handled Washington State quarterbacks Connor Halliday and Jeff Tuel.
Poyer's second interception forced Halliday from the game. His third, with 3:18 remaining, sealed the victory.
``It was the biggest performance,'' said Oregon State defensive end Scott Crichton, who added three sacks. ``That's a superstar right there. He carried us.''
The Beavers (4-0, 3-0 Pac-12) needed the defensive effort, as the offense - and quarterback Sean Mannion - struggled.
Mannion threw three interceptions and finished 25 of 42 for 270 yards. He was sacked three times.
Markus Wheaton had 95 yards receiving and a touchdown. Oregon State has surpassed its win total for the 2011 season and is 4-0 for the first time since 2002.
Tuel was 11 of 17 for 126 yards after replacing Halliday, who threw three interceptions.
Marquess Wilson had four catches for 54 yards to lead the Cougars (2-4, 0-3). Halliday was 9 for 20 for 81 yards.
Turnovers hurt the Cougars as they continue to implement new coach Mike Leach's pass-heavy offense.
Crichton and sophomore defensive end Dylan Wynn kept both Halliday and Tuel on the run. All together, the Cougars had four interceptions and a fumble.
``(The Beavers) were jumping routes because they were playing a lot of man coverage,'' Tuel said. ``They were playing it tight, and honestly, it's just a small place to throw a football.''
Mannion was selected the Pac-12 offensive player of the week after throwing for 433 yards last week in a 38-35 win over Arizona. But he was not sharp to start Saturday's game, missing receivers and throwing two interceptions early.
The Beavers had another promising drive stopped when they failed to convert a fourth-and-2 at the Washington State 24. Oregon State had to settle for Trevor Romaine's two field goals and a 6-3 halftime lead.
Mannion showed more poise in the second half. He led the Beavers down the field for a 75-yard scoring drive to start the third quarter, hitting Wheaton for a 12-yard touchdown pass.
``I'm really proud of the way our team came out in the second half,'' Mannion said. ``I think that says a lot about us.''
In the fourth quarter, Mannion led a 13-play, 86-yard drive that Tyler Anderson capped with a 1-yard run. The Beavers were 3 for 3 on third downs during the drive.
``And two of those third-down conversions were major league,'' said Oregon State coach Mike Riley, who became the school's winningest coach in last week's win at Arizona.
Helped out by two 15-yard Oregon State penalties, Tuel completed 5 of 7 passes on a drive early in the fourth, but the drive ended in Andrew Forney's 32-yard field goal.
``I thought we were pretty disjointed on offense,'' Leach said. ``Oregon State's defense was more physical than our offense.''

OmniGamer Writes "There are rumors ladies and gentlemen that Microsoft next generation console will be more powerful then Sony's next generation console.
Could it be possible that Microsoft's next console out muscle Sony's console? Let's take a look at all the rumor specs, to see if we can get a conclusion of who will be the big dog on the playground. For this article will refer to Sony's next generation console as the "PS4" and Microsoft's next generation console as the "Xbox 720""
Yawn... more stupid articles. How about what will be the price ?
Honestly, there were rumors before about PS3 being more powerful than the 360 but what history teaches us is unless you have exclusives where developers utilize the pros of a console, then every game will look Damn near the same. There were subtle difference between multiplat games but it's the exclusive that will shine such as Kill Zone, Gears, and Uncharted. So I don't care what system is more powerful, if the developers aren't tapping in, then it doesn't matter.
agreed i was going to say exactly that. the exclusives sony has put out have been of high quality, they have a strong lineup going in to next gen. and its not just the same exclusives recycled,reused and abused like the halo,gears and forza its new IP's that have really impressed me an area in which the xbox has been lacking. so regardless of how powerful either consoles are going to be i will wait to see which consoles have a decent set of games that i am interested in.
Hmmm..."blackdeath" ....you sound like a picthman for sony. All system reuse what sells. There will be more COD, Mario, Halo and God of war
The original Xbox actually showed it's extra power with mutiplat games. So you can have better technology that is also developer friendly. Sony has a history of making proprietary hardware that mainly suits them. The PS4 will likely go a different direction because Sony has been forced to be more open after all the difficulties of the PS3 with programmers. The PS2 was also a headache but the difference was that system was the lead platform in many cases. If the PS3 dominated the charts it too would likely have benefited by being the lead platform. That didn't happen very often.
We have no idea what both Sony and Microsoft plan on doing or how much they will cost. Microsoft went all out with the Xbox and was more reserved with the Xbox 360. Sony went all out with the PS3, will they with the PS4?
This article deals with ancient rumors. Latest ones point out to a much more powerful system with developers stating that PS4 devkits become more powerful with each new iteration.
Two consoles will probably be equally matched in terms of power.
Is this article a joke or they trying to be serious?
AMD/Intel x86 > RISC CPU(IBM Power7) anyday of the week. This is fact and not fiction. Amature news with no information about CPUs.
16 threaded Power7 CPU vs. 4-8 threaded x86 APU. Who wins in this deal? x86. Power series is nice and all, but there is a reason that x86 has a market for Desktop gaming on the PC/Mac Platforms and RISC CPUs do not at the moment.
An intelligent opinion and yet you have one bubble... yep, this is N4G.
@DeadlyFire - you have erroneously lumped AMD with Intel: AMD does not make a performance equal to Intel's iCore 7 CPU's especially on the FPU and SIMD side. And you're wrong if you believe all x86 cpu's are superior to Power7. Only the best i7 core can compete with the lower end Power7 architecture.
Popularity has nothing to do with performance - that's a first grade argument! The reason Desktops are still using the x86 CPU is because of backward compatibility and the cost of starting over. But there is a reason why all the consoles of this generation went with IBM designed CPU's.
So if Sony decides to go with an AMD CPU in the PS4, then will it will be for cost-to-performance reasons and not for performance reasons.
The IBM designed Cell was faster than most desktop CPU's at mathematical calculations for several years when the PS3 came out - It was scoring higher than almost anything desktop wise doing the [email protected] project
Everyone do you're research on CPU architectures and stop being lame.
I disagree and here is why. You are only thinking about how multiplat games were THIS gen.
Multiplat games didn't differ much this gen because the more powerful system was also the system that was more difficult to develop for.
When the PS2 and Xbox were competing, the Xbox was more powerful and easier to develop for. Because of that, developers more often than not took advantage of that and multiplat games almost ALWAYS looked better (by a lot) on the Xbox.
The rumored specs for both the next Xbox and Playstation are promising because they are both using less complicated architecture that should ease development for developers. Depending on which console is more powerful (and by how much), you could very well see similar trend as the one I described above. The next console race could be won based off of better multiplat performance alone.
"So I don't care what system is more powerful, if the developers aren't tapping in, then it doesn't matter."
so ps4 devs it is!
Rare will push kinect 190%
Some good things has to come out of this.
hmmm @ Alphatauri.....
"Only the best i7 core can compete with the lower end Power7 architecture"
The CPU you talk about as in the POWER7 is really a server only core built for raw performance at immense expense (launched starting at around $3k for the lower end you mentioned and going up, up and UP -I kid you not). X86 like Ivy Bridge, were not. Very little to do with console processors. I can't emphasise this enough.
"there is a reason why all the consoles of this generation went with IBM designed CPU's"
That reason is cost. The IBM designed cores in the consoles were cheaper than an X86 core of that period. Not faster, CHEAPER per FLOP. Budget constraints. Period. Although RISC is also a bit more power efficient too. You can point to the crappiness of the cut down cores inside PS3/360, hardly any cache, 2 issue in order execution with a too long pipeline in the case of X360. They suck compared to an X86 of the same era.
Sony would go with a fusion design because of costs, but that doesn't mean an IBM processor in another machine will easily outperform it as you seem to be suggesting.
"The IBM designed Cell was faster than most desktop CPU's (x86) at mathematical calculations"
Sort of. CELL is a heavily parallelised processor. The key bit here is that 'mathematical calculations' are not the same as 'running game code better'. An X86 CPU from the past 6 or 7 years is just stupendously better at running game type code (AI, branching integer which is hugely important) than CELL.
A better comparison is am early GPGPU versus CELL. Which of course, CELL loses too horribly as well.....folding at home is dominated by GPUs. But then, that aint gaming either....
Stop being....lame?
even if the xbox is more powerful, if sony makes a machine easy to develop for all 3rd party titles, developers will use the new playstation and port to the xbox, therefore having the same result as this gen. Only xbox exclusives will look better, which isnt saying much with their 3 exclusives
yea and i can count to potato. these articles are stupid when they do come out theyn we can see which is better or not
you can only count to potato? I can count to lettuce. Beat that.
Hypocrisy sets in yet again. A never ending cycle of "hurr our console is more powerful than yours"
"powah of teh cell"
"Nvidia rapes Amd"
"Crysis >>> Consoles"
"Nintendo WiiU is weak"
Now that the next Xbox will likely be more powerful due to what happened to Sony's stock this gen, it no longer matters and means nothing. N4G folks
@ kamikaze down there, you are perfectly correct, games matter. WiiU 'may' have games this time, Xbox 'may' start pushing the exclusives(since this was Sony's perogitive and imo it worked) if MS can start ****ing trying then they can do good, since they have the extra money to advertise each and every game they put out.
Sony, whatever happens, even if it turns out weaker than even expected(which is already weaker than Nexbox) will always have their exclusives and games. What I want is better software, firmware etc, other than that a substantial hardware upgrade is fine for me. Don't care how powerful it is compared to the other one.
Either way i'll be getting all 3 at some point, the WiiU is sure to have some solid exclusives again, even if their were only few on the Wii
Eidt--wow someone said i'm butthurt about not having a Ps3 in another article, well, yes I do. Because I feel that certain exclusives are overrated on the system and that 'other' exclusives on the system deserve more recognition, advertising, higher ratings and sales than Uncharted, Killzone, and god of war...I apparently don't own one.
Top 5 Ps3 Exclusives in no order
Heavy Rain
Valkria Chronicles
GT5 with G25 wheel, which I bought specifically for it
Demons souls(even if I like Dark better, still this game is one of my favorite ever)
I'm sure Ni no Kuni will soon be fighting for my top 5
Well the PS3 is pretty powerful. It only goes up from there. Even if it's slightly i'll still be ok with it. I mean look at games like The Last of Us. Let's just wait and see what happens instead of jumping into conclusions.
Darth Vader believed the Darkside of the force was more powerful then the Jedi!
the price point and how it's handled may really be what separates this generation from the next... Sony could easily copy Microsoft's payment plan (and really they probably will go pay to play online) This will allow a lower entry point for buyers... Not a bad deal to be honest
Since neither company has confirmed anything about there machines, I'll wait to see what they bring out, I think both will be pretty impressive. I'm always going to be a PlayStation first gamer so I know I'm getting ps4
i will not be as powerful as the PS4
Not true, your brain is more powerful than all the computers in the world. Computers are programmed to perform tasks, your brain can think for itself.
Everything is pointing towards them either being equally powerful or the Xbox 3 being more powerful than the PS4.
rumors are all we have to go on up2013, but yes they seem to point that way. I think it will be a business decision for Sony. They are (allegedly) leaving behind the Cell.
well, the rumor is that X720 will be 3 times more powerful than the PS4. But seeing how Kinect and the casual market has made the Xbox brand grow so much in America making a powerful console would mean high price tag. And usually, high price mean no casual market for you....
There is a persistent rumour going around that Microsoft are going to release 2 consoles next year. One being an uber powerful hardcore machine, the other striped down machine used for entertainment purposes, cloud based gaming & Xbox Live Arcade titles. As for price of the 'daddy' console, well if Microsoft don't mind taking s loss on the console, liked they did on the original Xbox & the 360, they might have it on sale for as little as £350/$500. If they want to go somewhere to breaking even, then a £500/$700 price tag would be more like it.
It's likely that the 500 dollar mark is about right... add a subscription plan you could maybe drop that down to 300... 2 years 15 dollars a month for XBL Gold... you end up paying more for the console though. I wouldn't mind them doing something along the lines of what T-Mobile is doing with their phone plans... perhaps you'll have to watch ads or something and once you pay off a certain amount then you lose the ads and so on and so forth
Power doesn't mean anything. The original Xbox was more powerful than the PS2. The PS3 is more powerful than the 360. So?
Correct. This title is stupid, though it has done its job.
At the end of the day, until they have both confirmed their specs, it will just be fanboy A vs fanboy B.
Every gen has seen a different company as the most powerful. At the end of the day, it is up to the developers to give us something special. Last gen the PS2 was significantly less powerful than the Xbox, but somehow churned out games as good looking as FFX, God Of War, Killzone etc.
and power shouldn't matter if a console is good or not look at the great games on the PS2 compare to the xbox
Yawn stopped reading when Xbox will be more powerful. Ms should make more games never mind out else
"Ms should make more games never mind out else"
"Out" is used colloquially for the word "Anything" in parts of england.
It's stupid i know.
Ha! The English supposedly invented the language!
Its not spelt 'out' I have no idea how to spell it, I can only say it :)
I believe you're are thinking of Nowt....
I think Microsoft is a pretty cool guy. eh kills aleins and doesnt afraid of anything.
I wouldn't call this a stupid article, it's interesting. I'm sure the ps4 and the xbox will both be beasts. I'm mostly looking forward towards all the cool new implementations and new franchises coming next gen other than graphics. I already have a powerful pc and don't see any of these 2 systems beating it.
I don't know i'm not a f*cking psychic.
I don't care, I will probably pick up both tbh
I guess some of us can agree on one thing.
That those 2 consoles (720 and PS4) will be more powerful than the Wii U.
Who cares. Both will be beasts, but with Sony's 1st Party Devs leading the way ... well my preferred console is obvious.
However I will buy both. I don't want to miss any great games assuming MS actually has some again circa 2007/2008.
I want Jak4, Killer Instinct and new game IPs that are not heavy shooter based. There's been enough shooters this gen to choke a mule.
How about everyone stops writing these damn articles and we just wait to find the hell out.
I like the comments, discussions, and debates about video games. Hell, even trolling is sometimes funny. But when it's all about speculation and fanboys get all riled up over NOTHING concrete it's a pain in the @$$ to see.
I don't know, will it?
A more important question is: What will happen if the xbox 720 is more powerful than the PS4?
A question more important than that one is: Who really cares?
we are making articles about rumors about systems that we don't even know when they will launch or even it's Name
yeah that's N4G
yup n4g sucks i dont even kno y im constantly on here *shakes head*
Its the people that keep approving these crap articles that should be shaking their heads...
Let me check my crystal ball. Hmmm. Interesting. I'm getting too much interference from my tinfoil hat.
Making judgements on which next gen console is better based off of *rumoured* hardware specs is plain nonsensical.
I would bet on them both being about the same.
EXACTLY!!! Next Gen will be about which consoles has the best games. And truth be told by what we have seen this Gen Sony seems to be the one that will take the lead next gen.
Truth be told, it will not just be about the games but also the unique gaming experience and features each console brings and so far it looks to be MS based on what we have seen this gen.
Ok man I agree Sony has had allot of great games this gen but so has the 360 and Wii there was no superior console this gen there was no better library each console shined as indivduals, its all opinionated at the end of the day,
I agree with your statement only to the extent of having a similar opinion, basically I'm saying don't try to pass your opinion as a fact.
We don't know what will happen next gen , the console market is unpredictable 6 years ago people thought the ps3 wouldn't have lasted 2 years now look , people innitialy thought the Wii mote was a revolution in gaming then look how that turned out the novelty wore out yeats ago ,see where I'm going with this
They will both be close, and hopefully Sony learned their lesson, and make their console easier to program for.
It might.. But it wont have better games & the multiplats will prolly have minimal differences if they gotta develop the games for both.. Its new IPs that makes me want new consoles.. Raw power is useless if its not used so i dont care what the power is.. Unless xbox gets some awesome new exclusives for their new console, im done w em.. ive been waiting years for a unique game on 360 that i like.. I dont see any in sight either so sony gets my money for GOW & Last of Us
I want PS4 and 720 to be at least on par with each other. One console being stronger than the other hasn't proven anything outside of great looking exclusives.
I'll be the first one to say neither one of them will be mind blowing.
Agreed, just look at PC.
PC used to light the way for consoles but considering it's barely better than 6 year old consoles it is hard to imagine how much better nextgen can get.
Hopefully they'll at least be better than current PCs though.
MICROSOFT has always been at the forefront of technical innovation, just like S
Console-wise Sony has kicked Microsoft's @$$ in the "technical innovation" department these last 2 gens. However it's rumored that they're switching roles next gen and Microsoft will be pushing more powerful hardware, I would take that with a grain of salt, though.
And this is not a fanboy speaking, I love the big three; it's the voice of truth.
You mean innovation by Sony coming up with difficult-to-program-for architecture that set them back a few years until developers got familiar. Oh and Move as well as an easily hacked online infrastructure, ok.
You mean technical innovation by way of:
1) Designing a console that can't even enable its users to send voice messages let a lone dedicate enough RAM to enable key and much requested features like Cross-Game chat?
2) 'Innovating' with their controller by essentially just carrying on the same old design of the previous console and then, having seen Nintendo unveil the Wii, make a poor last minute attempt to copy them by way of the SixAxis
3) Copying Microsoft and its innovation regarding Achievements
4) What jmac53 said
I'm sorry but yours isn't the voice of truth. Sony did go all out regarding the PS3 but they had the lets chuck everything we can think of mentality; big HDD, HDMI, BLU-RAY, built in Wifi etc which is all good but its not really innovating with the exception of BLU-RAY tech.
Comparatively, MS innovated more by clearly thinking about things like the controller; which was sculpted around players' hands, Xbox Live by way of its interface, Achievements which in itself was a touch of genius, cross-game chat, dedicating a decent amount of RAM for OS processes etc.
Don't get me wrong, they made stupid decisions too like not making HDD's mandatory (why?!), skimping out on built in Wifi and HDMI in their early consoles and other things.
Nintendo, Sony and MS are all at the forefront of technical innovation. Nintendo with its seminal motion control tech that really changed gaming and brought it to the masses, MS making a concerted push with Xbox Live and really pressurising others to make similar strides in making a cohesive online community and Sony delivering great IPs.
yes by innovation you mean no new IP'S and time exclusive DLC that drives PS3 and PC users crazy

From Soldier to Student
U.S. News and World Report names Penn State top national university for veterans.
Penn State has more than 3,900 student veterans and military dependents using the G.I. Bill University-wide, with more than 950 of them studying at the University Park campus, and U.S. News has ranked Penn State University Park the No. 1 national university for veterans.
"Penn State's involvement with the military began more than 150 years ago through our charter and we have continued this extraordinary relationship with servicemen and servicewomen from all branches," said Penn State President Rodney Erickson. "It's truly a point of pride that we are able to educate these students both on campus and through our World Campus. They deserve nothing less."
"This is a tremendous accomplishment and one we have worked hard to foster. Our veterans deserve our support and assistance every day." —Penn State President Rodney Erickson
Carl Chindblom and Sergio Santiago both came to the University while transitioning from active duty back to civilian life, and they both found a home with Penn State's Office of Veterans Programs.
The office, in Boucke Building on the University Park campus, is organized as a comprehensive, direct service unit for veterans and Department of Veterans Affairs (DVA) benefits recipients. In addition to five staff members, the office employs about 20 part-time student veterans.
Chindblom and Santiago both worked for the office as peer counselors, reaching out to prospective students.
"It's been really rewarding because not only do I get to learn more about my benefits, I get to help other people with theirs," Chindblom said.
Getting involved
As part of his work-study assignment, Chindblom reaches out to prospective students who may be eligible for DVA benefits to make sure they have all their paperwork in order "so they're getting all the benefits that they can get."
Childblom, originally from York, Pa., came to Penn State after serving in the Army for five years as an airborne paratrooper. After leaving the Army, he was looking for a university that was close to his family.
"Penn State really fit that bill," he said, "so I wanted to get the most out of my college benefits, and I figured that Penn State is the most notable school in the area, why not get the best education from my benefits."
But, when Chindblom came to Penn State, it took him a little time to become comfortable in his new life as a civilian and a student.
"The hardest part of transitioning from being an active duty soldier to being a full-time student civilian was really finding a good balance, which didn't happen right away," he said. "I really struggled with it my first semester and then luckily I got involved."
"Having a veteran guide you through the steps is helpful. Especially when you find out that that veteran who is helping you is also a student, so everything you're about to go through, they've been through recently."—Sergio Santiago
When Chindblom joined the Penn State University Veterans Organization (PSUVO) and Omega Delta Sigma, a national veterans service fraternity, he felt more at home.
"Between those two, I luckily was able to find a really good balance of a social life, schoolwork and doing something service-oriented," he said. "My schoolwork got better and it took me out of the funk of my first semester."
Chindblom, a senior majoring in sociology and minoring in psychology, is now the president of Omega Delta Sigma and has been working as a peer counselor for a little more than a year. But he remembers the difficulty he had his first semester, and plans to turn his counseling work helping other veterans transition into civilian life into a career.
Chindblom remembers getting a call himself from the Office of Veterans Affairs when he was applying to Penn State.
"It just made it so much easier to know what you're walking into, especially being able to get the information out about the fraternity and the different clubs that we have going on. It makes it so much easier to make feeling like you're coming into a new home where you're going to be welcomed."
A smooth transition
Former peer counselor Sergio Santiago shares Chindblom's sentiment.
"Having a veteran guide you through the steps is helpful," Santiago said, "especially when you find out that that veteran who is helping you is also a student, so everything you're about to go through, they've been through recently."
While Santiago always thought he would be a teacher, he first joined the Marine Corps after graduating high school because of the strong influence of his father and brother.
"They're both men who I have respected my whole life," Santiago said.
Santiago served for five years before deciding to pursue his first passion. While looking for the right school, he took advice from some friends.
"My last year in the Marine Corps, I met a lot of really close friends who were from Pennsylvania, and they said lots of amazing things about the campus, about the other campuses, and as soon as I made my decision to leave the Marine Corps, I started looking at schools in the area and seeing what Penn State's College of Education had to offer," he said. "I was very interested and put all of my efforts into getting into Penn State."
During his first class at the University, Santiago met another former Marine who told him about the work-study program in the Office of Veterans Programs. Santiago soon applied.
In the three years he spent in the office, Santiago helped hundreds of other students veterans just like himself.
"We did a lot of counseling on how they should approach scheduling for courses and who they should talk to for what reasons," he said. "We were kind of a middle person in between them and them having a successful academic experience at Penn State."
But for all the help he has given, Santiago feels he has received just as much.
"Working for the Penn State veterans outreach office and, of course, the support of my wife were probably the two biggest factors in my making a smooth and joyful transition to becoming a civilian again," he said. "I was very, very fortunate to have the support of the Penn State veterans office and the Penn State University Veterans Organization [PSUVO] to kind of come back to life and to be a part of the society that I hadn't seen for the over five years that I served."
Santiago became involved in PSUVO, where he spent a lot of time fundraising for the Wounded Warrior Project.
Santiago graduated in May 2013, and is working as a teacher in Washington, D.C., with Teach for America. As part of the program, he's also attending George Mason University as a master's student in elementary curriculum and instruction.
Santiago's wife of three years, who is finishing up her degree at South Hills School of Business and Technology in State College, couldn't be more proud of his work at Penn State and beyond.
"He had gotten that job counseling other veterans and he was able to relate to them," Ginny Santiago said. "They were going through what he was going through. Struggles, transitioning, getting out of the military and starting up with school. It really helped him to be able to help them."
Remembering, and giving back
In honor of Veterans Day, Omega Delta Sigma sponsors a ceremony at noon in front of Old Main, in which Penn State Army, Air Force and Naval ROTC units also participate. This year several veteran students in the Penn State community also will visit local assisted living homes to hand out flags to older veterans in State College.
On Saturday (Nov. 16), Penn State's World Campus will launch its first-ever cellphone text campaign during the Penn State-Purdue football game to raise funds for the World Campus annual Military Student Fund, which helps currently serving military personnel (active, Guard and Reserve) and veteran students enrolled online in Penn State educational programs with expenses not covered by their military education benefits.
Carl Chindblom says joining the Penn State University Veterans Organization (PSUVO) and Omega Delta Sigma, a national veterans service fraternity of which he is now local chapter president, helped him feel more at home on campus.
For Chindblom, the work in the office is just part of giving back.
"With all that we've done, others have done so much more and given so much more, so they definitely deserve thanks and remembrance, especially with Monday being Veterans Day," he said.
Chindblom plans on attending the noontime service and visiting the older veterans in the region.
But Veterans Day isn't the only day he will reach out to the men and women he calls his brothers and sisters. His advice to veterans who may be looking to go to college:
"Get involved. Don't be afraid to socialize. Seek out other veterans. Look to do good. Give yourself a mission," he said. "I think that having a mission, a drive and a direction helps you to make better choices for yourself and for those around you."

TBS Picks Up New Norm MacDonald Talk Show
It'll always be a shame to us that Norm MacDonald never took off the way Will Ferrell did following 'Saturday Night Live.' Both great 'Saturday Night Live' stars and breakout performers, yet MacDonald never found the film success or popularity of Ferrell in any of his comedies. But, you know what Will Ferrell never had? His own talk show on TBS!
Along with the impressive slate of development from Turner properties TNT and TBS, TBS has announced the development of new talk show 'Norm MacDonald is Trending,' something akin to a cross between 'The Daily Show with Jon Stewart' and 'Tosh.0,' utilizing MacDonald's trademark deadpan brand of humor.
Produced by some of the executive producers behind 'Sports Show with Norm MacDonald' and 'Real Time with Bill Maher,' the 'SNL' alumnus and former "Weekend Update" anchor hosts as he and his team of correspondents sort through the "churning mass of pop culture and social media to pull out the funniest, most bizarre and entertaining events so you don't have to."
MacDonald's previous series 'Sports Show with Norm MacDonald' failed to garner a renewal from Comedy Central after its debut in 2011, but MacDonald has also kept busy as the host and commentator for the Game Show Network's 'High Stakes Poker.'
What say you? Does 'Norm MacDonald' is trending sound like a good fit for the comedian? Which of TBS' upcoming development has you the most excited? Give us your own pitches in the comments!

Living here in AZ (for now), I want to see the smug look of all the Suns fans to be wiped away by a Dubs 20+ point win! Well, at least a win nonetheless. We need it!

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. — Nancy Klink, Pamela Pray and Tricia Sorine, sixth-grade Social Studies teachers at Bluffton Middle School, recently completed an intense, seven-day immersion into early American history at the Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute.
The institute was created to encourage history education and make it engaging for students. Now in its 22nd year, the institute helps prepare teachers to help students meet national and state history standards through hands-on immersion experiences in colonial history.
Klink has taught for
32 years including 17 years with the Beaufort County School District. She holds a bachelor's degree in history from Alverno College, Milwaukee, Wis., and a master's degree in education of the gifted and talented from Converse College in Spartanburg.
Pray has taught for 10 years including six years with the Beaufort County School District. She holds a bachelor's degree in Middle Grade Education from Brewton-Parker College and a master's degree in Adolescent Psychology from Capella University. Sorine has taught for 10 years including six years with Beaufort County School District. She holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Social Science from Lake Erie College, Painesville, Ohio. Sorine has been the Social Studies Department Chair for two years at Bluffton Middle School.
The Colonial Williamsburg Teacher Institute provides participants with interactive teaching techniques and skills to become mentor teachers who can assist their peers and other educators to develop active learning classrooms and make history exciting for their students.
The institute provides an extensive background in colonial history from the first English settlement at Jamestown to the American Revolution. Teachers participate in reenactments of 18th-century events and meet historians and interpreters portraying historical figures such as Thomas Jefferson, as well as the common citizens who helped shape a new nation. Participants share teaching strategies to improve instruction, raise literacy levels and enhance thinking skills. Participating teachers agree to conduct in-service training sessions following their attendance at Teacher Institute in order to share their experience with other teachers.
Teachers also are required to develop lesson plans that will be shared with future participants.

Lil Wayne is in intensive care after reportedly suffering more seizures.
Lil Wayne is in intensive care after suffering more seizures.
The 30-year-old rapper was rushed to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Tuesday (13.03.13) after collapsing while filming the music video for Nicki Minaj's new single, 'High School'.
He was released on Wednesday (14.03.13) but according to gossip website TMZ: ''just hours later one of his bodyguards found him in his room, on the floor and unconscious.
''Wayne was rushed to the hospital again, but this time he did not stabilize. He was taken to ICU, where he was placed in restraints because he was shaking uncontrollably.''
He is now in an induced coma in intensive care where his condition is said to be ''unstable''.
The cause of the seizures is unclear but TMZ claim he had to have his stomach pumped three times after doctors found high amounts of codeine in his system.
This isn't Lil Wayne's first health scare; the 'Lollipop' rapper was taken ill on a flight in October which saw his private jet forced to make an emergency landing in Texas where he was then rushed to hospital.
At the time of the incident, a representative claimed he had suffered ''severe migraine and dehydration'' rather than a seizure.

The theory behind this process, whereby trains meet at a central location and transfers are guaranteed, is sound. However, in practice, things go awry.
Here's what happens. If trains adhere to schedule and meet at 12:45 a.m., they should all leave downtown by 12:55 a.m. However, the last train to Heath Street arrives there at 12:47 a.m., and turns around to head back downtown. This last train is designated as a "w" train, which means that all other trains wait for it to arrive at Park Street. Although those trains (if they are on schedule) are ready to head out at 12:45 a.m., they must still wait at least another 21 minutes for our lonely E-Line train to arrive. If the E-Line train is running late, the trains wait longer, sometimes pushing an hour.
In the past 30 days, on no day did the trains leave before 1:09 a.m., and on average they sat at Park and Downtown Crossing 10 minutes later than that. On some nights, if the Lechmere train is late, other trains may not get to the end of the line until 2 a.m. And the problem doesn't end then. It is exacerbated because the buses waiting for transfers from Wonderland to Forest Hills can only begin their trips once the trains have departed for their night's rest.
This may all seem a bit mind-numbing, but here is the bottom line: because of one E-Line train traveling from Heath Street to Lechmere, the rest of the system sits idle, often longer than half an hour, costing the T millions of dollars every year, decreasing the time available for subway maintenance, and depriving T riders of funds that could be put to much better use than paying conductors and bus drivers to sit idle every night.
In particular, the claim that the MBTA spends upwards of $3.8 million per year on connections for wait trips each night is wrong. In reality, this figure is much lower, as the wait trips are estimated to cost roughly $500,000 annually. Also, the assumption that the MBTA end-of-day service shutdown is delayed solely because of one Green Line E branch train is incorrect. The shutdown is a deliberate, impressive, and well-synchronized process, which is managed by dispatchers each evening.

That alone is a load of bull, as every person who has ever taken the last train can tell you. How could the MBTA even keep a straight face when their little press release was put out?
The issue I brought attention to is one that people are experiencing every day. The data, and the experience of people who use the system, demonstrate pretty clearly that shutdown of service at night is rarely (if ever) on schedule. Whether the reason is late E-Line trains or other late trains), the problem is costing the MBTA precious funds that could be usefully deployed elsewhere.

The Virginia Supreme Court ruled in favor of a YMCA and against a for-profit club organization in Charlottesville, VA, that had attempted to thwart the building of a local YMCA in a city park.
The for-profit club organization, Charlottesville Area Fitness Club Operators Association, includes ACAC Fitness and Wellness Centers and Gym Quest Inc., a Gold's Gym franchisee.
"ACAC was disappointed by the ruling, but we appreciate that the court saw fit to hear the case," Christine Thalwitz, director of communications and research for ACAC Fitness and Wellness Centers, told Club Industry. "We respect their decision and look forward to moving ahead."
On Thursday, the Virginia Supreme Court vacated and dismissed two judgments entered by the circuit courts of the city of Charlottesville and Albemarle County. The two cases were Charlottesville Area Fitness Club Operators Association vs. Albemarle County Board of Supervisors and Charlottesville Area Fitness Club Operators Association vs. Charlottesville City Council. Judges ruled in favor of the county in November 2010 and ruled in favor of the city in April 2011 before the decisions were appealed.
Justice S. Bernard Goodwyn wrote the opinion for the Virginia Supreme Court.
"Because we are of the opinion that none of the claims asserted in the declaratory judgment actions presents a justiciable controversy, we will vacate the judgments of the circuit courts and dismiss the declaratory judgment actions because the circuit courts did not have authority to exercise jurisdiction," Goodwyn wrote.
Kurt Krueger, chairman of the Piedmont Family YMCA, told local media it was "a good day for the Y" and planned to proceed with the construction of the Y.
Continued on next page...
The for-profit group claimed that the city and county violated the Virginia Public Procurement Act, which requires the government to seek bids on projects. Albemarle County and the city of Charlottesville donated $2.03 million and $1.25 million, respectively, to the Piedmont Family YMCA, Charlottesville, to build a Y in a city park. Neither the city nor the county allowed bids from private clubs, the for-profit group claimed.
However, Goodwyn wrote that Albemarle County Board of Supervisors had the right to enter into the agreement with the YMCA.
"The fitness clubs are strangers to the board's negotiations with the YMCA, including its decision to make a $2.03 million payment to the YMCA and enter into the use agreement," Goodwyn wrote. "Although ACAC alleges that it pays taxes in Albemarle County, it is not seeking to protect the interests of the taxpayers of Albemarle County and thus does not allege a justiciable controversy."
Furthermore, according to Goodwyn's opinion, the for-profit group filed the lawsuits to protect its own interests.
"ACAC did not institute its action for the benefit of taxpayers and others similarly situated," Goodwyn wrote. "Nor has it alleged that the $2.03 million payment to the YMCA will impose an illegal tax burden or will otherwise injuriously affect the taxpayers of the county. To the contrary, ACAC seeks to protect its own interests as a business that provides fitness services."
Goodwyn also wrote that the for-profit clubs were attempting to create rights they did not have.
"The fitness clubs did not seek to bid on the lease, did not protest the council's limitation to construction and operation of a non-profit facility, and did not otherwise seek a determination from the council as to whether they could submit a bid on the lease," Goodwyn wrote.

Most people know about the dangers of cigarette smoking, thanks in large part to increased efforts to educate the public. Smoking is estimated to be the single largest cause of preventable deaths in the United States. What many people are less aware of though, is that tobacco can pose risks to your health even if you are not the one doing the smoking.
Environmental tobacco smoke or ETS, refers to the smoke that is released in the air when a smoker exhales, combined with the smoke released from a burning cigarette, cigar or pipe. In 1993, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a report that outlined the dangers of ETS or "passive smoking." It found that ETS causes about 3,000 deaths from lung cancer each year in the United States . It also stated that passive smoking is an important cause of respiratory illness.
Children who live with a smoker are especially at risk for health problems. Their growing lungs are at increased risk for illnesses such as bronchitis, pneumonia, tracheitis (inflammation of the upper airway) and asthma. And infants exposed to ETS are more likely to develop otitis media (middle ear infection).
What's in Tobacco Smoke?
Second hand smoke is the combination of the smoke given off by a burning cigarette, pipe or cigar and the smoke exhaled as a person smokes. The tobacco is treated with chemicals so that it will keep burning even when it is not being smoked.
Secondhand smoke contains up to 4,000 chemicals, including trace amounts of poisons like formaldehyde, arsenic, DDT and cyanide. More than 40 of the substances in ETS are know to cause cancer. Many more cause irritation of the lungs and airways. Secondhand smoke has been classified by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a Group A carcinogen (cancer causing agent.) Group A carcinogens are the most harmful.
How is ETS Linked to Allergies and Asthma in Children?
Children are at special risk of lung damage and illness from inhaled smoke. Studies have shown a clear link between ETS and asthma in young people. Passive smoking worsens asthma in teens and may cause up to 26,000 new cases of asthma each year. It is also linked to hundreds of thousands of infections of the lower respiratory tract (the lungs and lower airways) in infants under 18 months. These infections in turn lead to thousands of hospitalizations of children each year. The incidence of sudden infant death syndrome quadruples if either mother or both parents are smokers.
Children exposed to ETS are more likely to have reduced lung function and symptoms of respiratory irritation, such as coughing, wheezing and excess phlegm (fluid in the lungs and airways). Children with allergies and nasal congestion who are also exposed to tobacco smoke are up to six times more likely than others to have persistent middle ear infections requiring the surgical insertion of tubes.
Smoke and Minors
Exposure to ETS is responsible for increased frequency of asthma episodes in adolescents. There is also evidence which suggests that adolescents exposed to ETS may have decreased pulmonary function tests, higher cholesterol levels and may increase their risks of heart disease as adults.
Surveys show a disturbing trend of smoking among young people. The most recent data shows that more than a third of high school students (grades 9-12) report that they currently smoke. The rate is highest among high school seniors. In addition, about one-tenth of high school students report that they use smokeless (chewing) tobacco.
Tobacco advertising that seems to be aimed at young people is troubling. Many communities and local governments are increasing their efforts to control such marketing practices and the topic has received a good deal of attention in the media in recent years. In some states, parental smoking is an important issue in deciding questions of custody in divorce cases.
How to Reduce Secondhand Smoke Exposure?
As a parent, you can limit your children's exposure to secondhand smoke. As in most things, the first and most important steps begin at home _ by quitting smoking yourself, if your are a smoker. You can also set down a policy of having a smoke-free home by asking guests not to light up in your house.
Quitting is seldom easy, but it is possible. Smoking-cessation programs, counseling and methods such as nicotine gum or patches have helped many people give up tobacco for good. Your doctor should be able to steer you toward to help you on the road to kicking the habit and addiction. Until you quit, do not smoke within the airspace of your child, not in your home or in your car.
Choose childcare carefully so that your children will not suffer from the harmful effects of ETS.
Remember: Children exposed to secondhand smoke are at risk of illness. Protecting them from exposure is good preventive medicine. Your child's health depends on it.

Brown's Latest Discovery Renews "Hobbit" Debateby Howard Hewitt • October 11, 2005 Share:
Dr. Peter Brown visited Wabash College Sept. 19 to discuss his role in the discovery of a small species of humans dubbed the "Hobbit people."
A new study published Oct. 10 details a jaw bone and other artifacts discovered in the same Flores cave where the initial find occurred. The publication has again stirred a debate among scientists and experts in the field. Read the news coverage here.
Brown, a Professor of Palaeoanthropology at the University of New England in Australia stressed the uniqueness of this find. Brown and his team of researchers found remains of the so-called "Hobbit people," also known as Homo floresiensis, on the remote Indonesian island of Flores. The race of humans, which probably became extinct about 12-13,000 years ago because of a wide-scale volcanic eruption, was no more than about 3-4 feet tall.
The skeletal remains showed marked differences from human fossils of the same time period. The brain cavity's volume was only 460 cc, making it significantly smaller than humans. Furthermore, the facial bone structure lacked a human chin and possessed a much thicker bones.
Despite the differences, Brown stressed the extraordinary findings unique to the excavation site.
The excavation team discovered several man-made stone tools that, barring the presence of humans, which lead Brown and his colleagues to believe the Hobbit people were responsible for the tool's construction.
Brown chose his words carefully during an interview but said most of his colleagues from around the world called the discovery the most important of the past 50-100 years.

DUBLIN, Ohio (Reuters) - The United States won the Presidents Cup for the eighth time in 10 editions on Sunday, beating the Internationals 18-1/2 to 15-1/2 after Tiger Woods clinched the victory by beating South African Richard Sterne.
With the Americans needing at least 18 points to retain the trophy at Muirfield Village Golf Club, Woods secured the decisive point for the third time in a row in the biennial team competition, safely parring the final hole of his singles match.
The world number one, despite suffering from back pain over his last five holes, came from one down after eight to seal a one-up win that gave the U.S. an unassailable lead with two singles matches still to finish.
"It feels good. It was a team effort this whole week," said Woods, who won four of his five matches, the best on either team. "We really played well, and gave ourselves a really nice lead going into the singles.
"And it was a tough day, tough conditions, rain, wind. It was tough all around. It was a long week but it was worth it," he added, referring to the lengthy weather delays over the first three days which led to a backlog of matches. "We did it."
The U.S. had needed only four points from Sunday's 12 singles encounters to keep the Cup, having established a lead of 14-8 earlier in the day after dominating the rain-delayed final foursomes session.
However, they had to work a lot harder than expected as the Internationals mounted a gutsy fightback, winning seven-and-a-half of the matches on a saturated layout amid sporadic rain showers and occasional sunshine.
The International fightback gave the Americans some brief moments of anxiety but they managed to regain control when it mattered and avoid a repeat of last year's final-day collapse at the Ryder Cup.
"These guys gave their hearts and souls this week," Internationals captain Nick Price said of his team.
The U.S. team bristled with six players ranked in the world's top 10 while the Internationals, whose only Presidents Cup victory came in 1998, had eight players from outside the top 25.
"We had a tall order this afternoon, nine-and-a-half points (to win) against a team of the stature and ability of the Americans," said Price.
"We were all a little down in the room this morning after the close, after the finish of the team matches. Today the guys just showed the grit and determination and the resilience that they have."
Looking for a fast start from the top of their singles lineup, the Americans secured their first win of the afternoon when Hunter Mahan beat Japan's Hideki Matsuyama 3&2 in the opening encounter.
Australian Jason Day had won the first point of the singles, crushing Brandt Snedeker 6&4, but the Internationals were still six behind and the biggest obstacle facing the U.S. seemed to be the weather with heavy storms forecast for later in the day.
PGA Championship winner Jason Dufner never trailed before beating Zimbabwean Brendon de Jonge 4&3, then Canada's Graham DeLaet spectacularly holed out for birdie from a greenside bunker at the 18th to edge Jordan Spieth one-up.
Zach Johnson wrapped up a comfortable 4&2 win over South African Branden Grace to put the U.S. ahead 17-10 before Masters champion Adam Scott put another win on the board for the Internationals with a 2&1 win over Bill Haas.
South African Ernie Els scraped past Steve Stricker one-up and Australian Marc Leishman sank a 14-footer from the fringe to par the last and beat Matt Kuchar by the same margin.
The Americans were kept waiting even longer for that elusive 18th point when former Masters champion Charl Schwartzel of South Africa came from one down after 13 holes to beat Keegan Bradley 2&1.
However Woods, who had won three matches out of four in partnership with Kuchar earlier in the week, delivered for his team as he split the fairway off the tee on 18, then struck an accurate approach to 30 feet.
He narrowly missed his birdie putt but Sterne conceded the par to Woods and the overall victory to the U.S., before the last two pairings finished off.
"Three in a row and Tiger has the winning point all three times - that's pretty good," said U.S. captain Fred Couples, who plans to stand down from the role after leading the team to three successive victories.
"I've had All-Star teams every single time and we've gotten nice leads. Maybe they relax a little bit because they are all playing so well. It just turned out that Tiger ended up getting the point and playing actually 16, 17, 18 very, very well."

The insurance group's in-house investment division is developing the Sättravallen project, east of Kristinehamn in the south of the country.
Vestas said that it expects to deliver the 16 V126-3.3MW turbines in the third quarter of 2015, with commissioning due in the fourth quarter. The deal includes an operations and maintenance contract that will see Vestas service the turbines for a period of 15 years.
The V126, was unveiled in September 2012 and is the low-wind version of Vestas' V112-3MW platform. The Danish manufacturer has to date installed 1,500 turbines with a capacity of 2.3GW in Sweden.
Allianz has invested significantly in renewable energy. Last year saw the insurer pump EUR 400 million into wind.
While most of its projects have been within the eurozone, last year the company strayed into new territory with the purchase of the 72MW Maevaara wind farm in Sweden.
Speaking to Windpower Monthly earlier this year, its head of renewable energies David Jones said it was looking at other opportunities in the Scandinavian country.

While the consumer electronics and content industries worry that the battle between Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD will set company against company to the disadvantage of all, Europe's antitrust officials appear to fear that having two rival high-definition video disc formats isn't competition enough.
To whit, the European Commission has asked the consortia behind both technologies to detail their intellectual property licensing terms, the BBC reports.
The EC is seeking reassurances that neither group will restrict access to their technologies, either to hardware makers or to disc suppliers. Not that they're likely too - successfully winning the hearts and minds of consumers will largely depend on widening access to a given format as much as possible.
With the exception of an HD DVD-equipped notebook from Toshiba, neither next-generation optical disc format has yet to be launched in Europe, though that's likely to change before Christmas. At the very least, Sony will be pushing its PlayStation 3 as a Blu-ray player when the console launches in November.
In a statement, Sony said the EC gave it no indication that the organisation is investigation any complaint into the new formats, or that officials have any specific antitrust worries. ®

Fox's Latest Christmas Scare Deemed A "Vicious Dissemination Of Untrue Information"
Blog ››› ››› THOMAS BISHOP
Fox News' Todd Starnes accused a Georgia elementary school of "confiscating" Christmas cards in an effort to stifle religious expression, prompting outrage from residents and threats of corrective legislation from Georgia lawmakers. But according to the school district, Starnes' allegations are completely false.
In a story posted on his Fox News Radio show titled "Georgia School Confiscates Christmas Cards," Starnes cited the husband of one teacher at the school who claimed many teachers were "disgruntled by the school's decision to confiscate the Christmas cards." Starnes asserted that the Bulloch County Board of Education "cracked down" on the Christmas card display, as well as many other acts of "religious expression in their schools" :
Teachers have been ordered to remove any religious icons or items from their classrooms - ranging from Bibles to Christian music.
Teachers have also been instructed to avoid student-led prayers at all costs. Should they be in a room where students are praying, teachers have been ordered to turn their backs on their students.
Hundreds of outraged residents have joined a Facebook page to protest the crackdown - and many are vowing to attend a school board meeting on Thursday to let school officials have a piece of their mind.
The Board of Education released a statement late Tuesday denying the moving of the Christmas cards had anything to do with the "current open and ongoing discussions that the school system is having with local citizens about religious liberties and expression."
"We don't want this misinformation to derail the positive work we are committed to with our community leaders," Supt. Charles Wilson said in a prepared statement. "I'm appalled by this attack on our school system, and on Brooklet Elementary."
After Starnes' article, right wing media outlets picked up his story adding to outrage in the community. Town Hall reprinted Starnes' article and The Blaze reported that according to Fox News, "administrators reportedly asked teachers to move a group of hallway Christmas cards out of the view of students." Starnes' report even led one Georgia state senator, Judson Hill (R), to denounce the Bulloch County Board of Education and threaten to "explore possible legislation, if needed, to protect religious freedom of GA taxpayers":
But Starnes' story is wrong; the cards were moved "due to a legitimate, personal privacy concern," according to school officials. Local NBC station WSAV reported the Bulloch County School officials were determined to fight back after what they called a "false news report was filed by a Fox News Radio." The story explained:
The Principal of Brooklet, Marlin Baker, said that is not the case. Baker said it's a faculty tradition to hang staff Christmas cards up on a poster. Usually the poster hangs out in the hallway for students to see but Baker said one of the teachers had a privacy issue so the poster was moved into the faculty work room. School staff said when the poster was moved on Monday that it didn't even have any Christmas cards on it.
"The decision to move the poster had nothing, absolutely nothing, at all to do with any type of religious conversation that is going on in the county," said Marlin.
The Superintendent said the misinformation caused the school to get flooded with calls and emails of outcry.
"[I am] disappointed. We are trying hard in this community to have a good, healthy dialogue and it seems the intentional spreading of this misinformation I see it as destructive,"
In a statement about the Fox's report, Bulloch Country Schools explained "holiday traditions and especially those of Christmas are alive and well" (emphasis added):
Unfortunately, today the school was terrorized by an intentional and vicious dissemination of untrue information that disrupted the good work going on inside. Fox News Radio Commentary Host Todd Starnes, acting on misinformation that neither he, nor his media outlet corroborated with the school system or Baker, misreported a story about student Christmas Cards being removed from the school. Baker did not receive any questions from the local community either.
The cards in question were not student Christmas cards, nor were they a student project or tradition. The cards are the personal family Christmas cards that faculty members share with one another. They are the personal cards from their homes that they would send to family and friends.
It has been a faculty tradition to post the cards on a small display board made of two pieces of red and green poster paper. The display in the past was posted in hallway outside the office workroom.
This year, due to a legitimate, personal privacy concern raised by one of the school's staff members, Baker moved the display to the opposite wall inside the office work room so that the staff member could still participate in the tradition. Baker wanted to respect the staff member's privacy and that of his/her children depicted in the Christmas card.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution (AJC) pointed out Starnes' "hyperbole," noting the other signs of Christmas around the school Starnes failed to see:
A WSAV news crew on Monday provided footage of a school that obviously has no problem with Christmas trees. Or holiday artwork by students. Or Christmas cards. No one has been asked not to say "Merry Christmas."
Fox News continues its campaign to highlight the phony "war on Christmas" by using stories from far right organizations or pushing misinformation to hype a culture war on Christmas that doesn't exist.

ST. LOUIS (AP) Mark Sanchez directed a turnover-free offense and Bilal Powell ran for the first two touchdowns of his career, helping the New York Jets end a three-game losing streak with a 27-13 victory over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday.
Chaz Schilens scored on a 25-yard reception and Nick Folk kicked a pair of 51-yard field goals for the Jets (4-6), who were outscored 58-16 the previous two games. The Jets overcame a controversial practice week with several anonymous players quoted in a newspaper report disparaging the ability of backup quarterback Tim Tebow, who had a handful of snaps but was no factor.
Brandon Gibson caught a pair of short touchdown passes for the Rams (3-6-1), who committed three turnovers and are in an 0-4-1 slump. St. Louis' defense hasn't forced a turnover in five straight games, tying the NFL's longest such slump since 1950 according to STATS LLC.

The choice between burial and cremation is a very personal one and may be influenced by many factors, including family tradition, religion or the wishes of the person who has died.
What is a crematorium?
A crematorium is the building where cremations are held. It is the main alternative to holding a funeral in church. In a crematorium there is a space to hold a service, and there is a cemetery and gardens outside.
The service
If you choose a cremation, one of the first things to decide is what sort of service you would like and where to hold it. You might want to hold it the crematorium or, if you prefer, you can hold the service in another place, like a church, and then have a shorter service called a 'committal' at the crematorium.
The charge for the crematorium will vary depending on where you live. Your local Funeral Director will be able to let you know what the costs for crematoria in your area are.
Regulations for cremations
There are restrictions about what may be cremated with the person who has died - for example materials such as some metals are forbidden. If you would particularly like an item to stay with the person who has died you can speak to your Funeral Director.
The Simple Funeral
For those wanting to arrange a simple funeral, we offer a 'Simple Funeral' option, with the comfort of knowing that quality isn't compromised, as we guarantee to provide our usual outstanding levels of care and standards for your loved one.
The cost of which is lower than the average price of a funeral we arrange. Take a look at what our Simple Funeral includes.
