As a result of the National Weather Service's declaration of an "Excessive Heat Warning," Philadelphia Corporation for Aging (PCA) will activate its HEATLINE:
Friday, June 29, Noon to midnight,
Saturday, June 30, 8:30 a.m. to midnight
Sunday, July 1, 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m.
PCA's HEATLINE phone number is 215-765-9040.
At PCA's HEATLINE call center, a team of trained staff will counsel callers of all ages about precautions to take against the heat and detecting signs of heat stress. City Health Department nurses will be on-site to speak with callers about medical problems related to the heat. Mobile relief teams from the Health Department will respond to situations requiring intervention, and 911 will be called for emergencies.
Neighbors, friends and relatives are urged to look in on elderly persons, as they who may be especially vulnerable to the heat. The elderly, individuals with chronic medical conditions, those on medication, and persons who live alone and receive few visitors are encouraged to call PCA's HEATLINE for advice on coping with the heat. In addition, callers may contact PCA's HEATLINE on behalf of another individual who may be at risk for heat stress.
PCA's HEATLINE is a non-emergency telephone service – IT IS NOT A FAN OR AIR CONDITIONER DISTRIBUTION SITE. PCA's HEATLINE staff can provide information about recommended air-conditioned locations and year-round senior services.
The HEATLINE was previously activated this year on May 28 and 29 and on June 20 through 22 for a total of five days. A total of 632 calls were received in that time. During 2011, the HEATLINE was activated three times, for a total of eight days and fielded a total of 1,326 calls.
Philadelphia Corporation for Aging (PCA), a private, non-profit Area Agency on Aging, was established in 1973 to coordinate social services for Philadelphians who are older who have disabilities and to assist them in achieving optimum levels of health, independence, and productivity. One of the region's largest non-profit organizations, PCA is funded in part by the federal Older Americans Act, Medical Assistance, and the Pennsylvania Lottery, all channeled through the Pennsylvania Department of Aging. For information on PCA's services and programs, call the PCA Helpline at 215-765-9040 (toll-free 888-482-9060 (outside Philadelphia); TDD 215-765-9041) or visit www.pcaCares.org.

Why Covenant?
The Foundation of a Covenant Education
A Covenant College education has a sure foundation. Our beliefs, philosophy, and curriculum are rooted in the infallible, eternal, and unchanging Word of God. Our founders had confidence in the Scriptures' truth and promises, and on behalf of their own children and generations to come, envisioned a learning community where students would explore and express the preeminence of Jesus Christ in all creation and all of life.
A Covenant Community
We hold our students in high regard because of the commitment God has to them and their families. He consistently refers to his people as a "treasured possession" as he promises that he "will be their God, and they will be my people." It is this relationship that shapes our life and study together at Covenant, and gives us confidence that this investment has eternal value and priceless outcomes.
The College faculty and staff assume this weighty and wonderful responsibility in both teaching and relationships. Coursework across the disciplines helps our students come to understand better the gracious investment God has first made in them--designing each student with specific gifts, saving them from sin and death to eternal life, and calling them to particular roles of service and responsibilities they must assume in his kingdom.
It is to this end that we seek to discover his good gifts in creation and in culture, and to redeem and nurture those gifts for the sake of his glory in the church and in society.
Recognized Quality & Value
In its 2017 edition of Best Colleges, U.S. News & World Report ranked Covenant College as a top-tier national liberal arts college.
Washington Monthly ranked Covenant #10 in the nation among baccalaureate colleges in its 2015 list.

189 new cases of pertussis confirmed in Minn. this week
One hundred eighty-nine new cases of pertussis were confirmed in Minnesota in the past week. More than 3,500 cases of the bacterial infection have been reported so far this year, the Minnesota Department of Health said.
Pertussis, also known as whooping cough, causes a persistent, severe cough that sometimes lasts for months.
Three-quarters of Minnesota's cases have occurred in vaccinated people, said Kris Ehresmann, director of the infectious disease division at the Health Department.
"Definitely this outbreak has been driven I think, in fairness, more by waning immunity than by those folks who have chosen not to vaccinate," Ehresmann said.
A reformulated pertussis vaccine was added to the U.S. vaccine schedule in the late 1990s. The new vaccine doesn't appear to last as long as the original vaccine, which had more side effects. Ehresmann said.
She said there is much discussion within the public health community about what to do to control the pertussis outbreak in the U.S.
"It is clearly the highest number of cases that we've had in the post-vaccine era for sure," Ehresmann said. "It's definitely a situation that's happening in Minnesota and nationally, and it's gotten everyone's attention."

Siri Versus Google Voice Search — Who Wins?
We're sure Apple fanboys will have something to say about this. In a head-to-head contest between Siri and Google Voice Search, it looks like Siri is the loser.
But at least she's friendly while she's taking her precious time answering your questions. Truthfully, though, both are still faster than asking another person, thankfully. We are one step closer to never having to speak to another person ever again.

This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact email@example.com to report an issue.
Earlier this semester, I completed my first MOOC, An Introduction to the U.S. Food System, offered through Coursera by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. While I didn't learn as much new information as I assume others did (not a criticism of the course, more that I've been learning about food issues for a number of years now), learning about our food system was only a partial goal in signing up. Given all the hoopla around MOOCs, I wanted to personally experience what some seem to see as the shiny new future of higher ed.
MOOCs are Massive Open Online Courses, and they have captured the fancy of many in higher ed, and beyond. MOOCs offer students the opportunity to learn from noted scholars, without incurring tuition costs, from the comfort of wherever they happen to be. While MOOCs may not be the future of higher ed reform – and there's been some recent criticism – they can't be overlooked entirely.
I embarked on my MOOC hoping to be wowed into tempering my cynicism that they are the saving grace of higher ed's current problems. That didn't happen (criticisms below), but there was one surprising insight that only occurred once I became a student myself: if MOOCs are going to stick around in some variation, it is imperative that researchers make sure their articles and books can be used for course content; aka, scholarship must be openly accessible. I came to this realization myself while working through my MOOC assignments, but was reassured to learn that Kevin Smith at Duke University also sees the need for a MOOC-Open Access correlation.
My MOOC involved weekly video lectures, required and optional readings, discussion forums, and quizzes. The readings are where I felt the closest affinity to a traditional course, as both my MOOC and a Geography course on food systems I took as an undergraduate relied on articles in lieu of a textbook. However, the nature of those readings were quite different. In my MOOC, of 55 readings (the vast majority optional), only 8 were scholarly articles, 7 OA. One optional reading was an article that explicitly required institutional access (alas, WFU didn't subscribe), and two were non-research articles from scholarly journals. The rest were newspaper articles, reports, websites, and other pertinent but not scholarly readings.
What strikes me about the non-scholarly nature of the majority of the readings is that: a) this is a topic that can be covered by non-scholarly articles and reports, but that b) only ONE of the required readings was an OA scholarly article. I cannot speak to whether or not the reliance on non-scholarly readings would be similarly reflected on the syllabus of a correlated course taught at JHU, but my guess is that if this had been a traditional course, more than one of my assigned readings would have been from a scholarly source.
Setting aside my additional criticisms (simplistic assignments, no real feedback opportunities, unwieldy forums) that cast MOOCs* in a poorer light than traditional courses, college classes incorporate scholarship through assigned and supplemental course readings and student research. But when the availability of scholarly readings are limited, as they are in MOOCs, I fail to see how it can be argued that they are an acceptable substitute for credit-based classes.
Does this make my MOOC inherently bad? Of course not! I quite enjoyed my learning experience, despite a strong base of knowledge coming in. But having experienced both a MOOC and a traditional course on essentially the same topic, I cannot buy into the claim that MOOCs are the future of higher ed, without substantial shifts to open scholarly publishing and distribution systems.
* Admittedly, I'm making a broad generalization here, as I've only taken one MOOC, so my experience is quite limited. I've heard that other have more rigorous assignment. My second MOOC starts today – perhaps I'll have more "homework" to do this time around!

Even Oprah has her limitations. In a surprising revelation media mogul Oprah Winfrey opened up about suffering from a near nervous breakdown last year.
Known for her ability to juggle multiple projects at once, Winfrey, 59, always appeared to handle her rigorous work schedule with ease. But the reality was far different.
"It was just sort of speeding and a kind of numbness and going from one thing to the next thing to the next thing," she told Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson. "I thought 'if I don't calm down, I'm going to be in serious trouble.'"
At the time, Winfrey's troubles were a combination of attempting to save OWN, her ailing television network, and the rigorous filming schedule for her role in "Lee Daniels' The Butler." It was her first acting gig in a major film since 1998, when she starred alongside Danny Glover in "Beloved."
The former talk show host said she came to the realization that she needed to slow down when she interviewed "Kony 2012" director Jason Russell in Oct. 2012 about his very public breakdown. Russell gained notoriety after he was seen naked running through the streets of San Diego.
His story prompted her to make changes. It was time to slow down and take better care of herself.
"I wasn't ready to run naked in the streets … but I had reached a point where I just couldn't take in anymore stimulation," she said.

Some new cars gain notoriety for a specific attribute, like artful style, sublime comfort or incomparable safety. The Ford Fusion Hybrid is gaining fame for introducing the idea that U.S. carmakers can take the lead in fuel-saving, hybrid-electric drivetrain technology.
That may surprise drivers who have paid only passing attention to hybrids, and it may upset those who worship at the throne of Toyota. But the truth is that the Ford Fusion Hybrid is the best hybrid model in the U.S. market.
It is the best in the U.S. in part because it is the best for the U.S. It wears no egg-shaped hypermile bodywork, doesn't ask its occupants to contort themselves to fit inside like the old pack-college-students-in-a-VW stunt and doesn't demand any creative financing for regular Americans with regular jobs to purchase it.
Instead, the Fusion sits demurely in the driveway, offering no commentary on the neighbors' lack of environmental concern. Yet for a base price of $27,270 (right around the new-car average of $25,500), customers can buy a fuel-efficient family sedan that easily carries five normal-sized people in comfort. It also has sufficient trunk space for their luggage, a compliant suspension and enough high-tech gizmos and widgets to evoke a smile from even the most indifferent automotive appliance owner.
Motor Trend magazine named the model its Car of the Year for 2010 and it is one of three finalists for the North American Car of the Year award to be announced Monday. (Full disclosure: I am a member of the panel that votes on the latter award.)
The EPA says the Fusion Hybrid gets 41 mpg in the city and 36 mpg highway. In a week of mixed suburban driving, the test model scored 38 mpg. The Prius gets 50 mpg on the EPA's city test, but that extra 9 mpg is not worth the tradeoffs in space, ride and handling for many customers.
My gas mileage was achieved in normal driving, with no babying it to boost efficiency. But the Fusion does have a novel dashboard video display that shows virtual vines which can, if the car is driven gently, sprout leaves to produce a nice, healthy-looking dashboard garden.
Failure to drive in a way that cultivated this garden sparked howls of outrage from the back seat, where my kids complained I was killing the leaves as they disappeared. So while it would be easy to dismiss the efficiency display as a silly gimmick, it is a hard-to-ignore reminder that with just a bit lighter pressure on the pedal, the Fusion Hybrid can get spectacularly good mileage. Hypermile fanatics do even better, but there are few regular drivers who are interested in driving as if the fuel in the tank is their last.
Ford previously launched a hybrid version of its Escape SUV, but it was more primitive than the Fusion. In addition its size and weight conspired against it, so the Escape only gets about 25 mpg in everyday mixed driving, hardly enough to bother buying a hybrid.
The Fusion features Ford's second-generation hybrid system, a design which, like the one in the Escape, is technically similar to that used by Toyota. The Fusion Hybrid goes Toyota one better with its ability to drive on electric-only power at speeds as high as 47 mph. That electric power ultimately comes from gasoline in hybrid electric cars, but it is still fun to know that you can drive on electric-only power for longer periods and higher speeds, keeping the gas engine shut off. The Prius automatically starts its gas engine at 25 mph.
Ford's less-heralded but skilled engineers also achieved a smooth driveability as the car switches modes between gas and electric when driving and between regenerating electricity and using regular hydraulic brakes when stopping. It is still possible to detect some of the mode changes, especially as the car regenerates power when slowing, but Ford's balance of these modes is the best execution in a constantly improving science.
Ford has improved the whole Fusion model line for 2010. The original Fusion was a handsome car with strong specifications that promised to deliver an experience that would place the car ahead of the likes of Honda's Accord. Alas, some of the details were amiss in that first iteration. It was a good, but not great, car.
For 2010, Ford has made the Fusion great. They tweaked the steering to make the car respond to input more faithfully. They upgraded the interior, with soft surfaces on the dashboard replacing hard plastic. They freshened the exterior styling to keep the car up-to-date in appearance. The result is a car that beats Accord and Camry across the whole model line. But the hybrid is the gem in Fusion's crown and serves notice that Ford and the rest of the domestic industry should not be overlooked as relics of the industrial age.

Step 1 Heat the oven to 400 degrees, and place a rack in the center of the oven. On a sheet of parchment paper, using a permanent marker, draw templates of the eclairs or cream puffs to help you pipe the batter. For the eclairs, draw 12 rectangles measuring 4 1/2 by 1 1/2 inches, spacing the rectangles about 2 inches apart (they will puff and spread as they bake). For the cream puffs, draw 2 1/2-inch circles, spacing the circles about 2 inches apart. Flip the parchment so the marker is on the underside of the sheet (you should still be able to see the templates), and place the parchment on a baking sheet.
Step 2 In a medium-size, wide heavy-bottom saucepan, combine the butter, water, salt, sugar and vanilla seeds, and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Remove from heat and stir in the flour (stir quickly or the flour lumps will cook). Return the pan to low heat and cook, stirring frequently, for about 3 minutes to cook the flour slightly and rid the mixture of any starchy, floury taste.
Step 3Remove the pan from the heat and place the dough in the bowl of a food processor or stand mixer. If using a food processor, process the dough for 15 seconds to cool slightly and release steam (leave the tube open), then add all of the eggs and egg whites at once. Immediately continue to process for 30 seconds to combine and form the batter. If using a stand mixer, beat the dough with the paddle attachment until most of the steam has subsided, then add the eggs and egg whites, 1 at a time, until each is incorporated and a batter is formed.
Step 4Remove the batter to a bowl set over an ice bath and continue to stir gently just until the batter cools slightly and thickens (it should be thick enough to hold its shape when piped).
Step 5Dab a little of the batter underneath the 4 corners of the parchment paper so it sticks to the baking sheet. Place the rest of the batter in a large pastry bag fitted with a large round tip (the hole should measure just over one-half inch in diameter).
Step 6Pipe the batter evenly onto the paper to cover each of the templates; the piped batter will rise about one-half inch off the parchment paper.
Step 7Place the sheet in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, until the pastry is richly golden and evenly colored on the sides and top, and is firm when tapped. Turn off the oven and place the handle of a wooden spoon in the door to keep it barely open. Leave the pastries in the oven for an additional 30 minutes to give them time to dry out and set up.
Step 8Remove the pastries and place them on a rack, leaving a little space in between each. Prick the side or underside of each with the tip of a paring knife or skewer, and set aside until the pastries are cooled to room temperature, then use or fill as desired.

Fairchild celebrate a Fairchild touchdown reception that gave
Otterbein a brief fourth-quarter lead at Gallaudet. Otterbein went
on to win in OT.
Otterbein athletics photo
No. 179 Gallaudet nearly pulled off a shocker for the season, going toe-to-toe with Otterbein, ranked No. 40 in Kickoff 2011's preseason rankings, before falling 28-27 in overtime.
The Bison converted on fourth down in overtime to score a touchdown, then missed on a two-point conversion attempt that would have won the game. Gallaudet had just 281 yards of total offense but had 162 of those yards on two fourth-quarter drives.
Freshman Mark Moore made a big impact in his first collegiate football game, kicking a 49-yard field goal as time expired to lift Salve Regina over Union 25-22. Watch the video highlight. Salve Regina scored four times in the fourth quarter to rally for the victory.
Playing with 10 new starters on offense, Delaware Valley defeated Muhlenberg 10-9 in overtime. After the Mules scored on their first overtime possession, freshman quarterback Aaron Wilmer connected with Isaiah Hall for a 30-yard touchdown on a fourth-and-15 to tie the game. Jake Sobchak's extra point gave the Aggies the victory.
Susquehanna erased a 15-point deficit with under three minutes to play and beat Wilkes 33-30 in overtime. Rich Palazzi threw two touchdowns and converted a two-point conversion down the stretch to tie the game. Freshman Spenser Hotaling nailed the game-winning field goal on the Crusaders first overtime possession.
Millikin quarterback Matt Holmes found Erik Tobey for a touchdown with 43 seconds left to put the Big Blue ahead of Illinois College 27-20. But Blue Boys' quarterback Michael Bates ran for 21 yards on fourth-and-5 to keep Illinois College alive. Then he hit Kevin Fuller for a 34-yard touchdown as time expired to send the game to overtime. Bates finished the remarkable comeback by throwing the game winning touchdown to Colin Duling and Illinois College defeated Millikin 34-30 in overtime.
Catholic finished a 90-yard drive with a 34-yard touchdown catch by Alonzo Cooke with 1:01 left to give the Cardinals a 39-36 win at McDaniel. Catholic rallied from a 36-24 fourth-quarter deficit to secure the win, while Greg Cordivari threw for 459 yards.
In other exciting finishes, Will Davis' 23-yard field goal lifted Bridgewater (Va.) over St. Vincent 20-17 in overtime. Heidelberg edged Alma 34-28 in overtime. UW-Oshkosh's Zach Wettengel intercepted Central quarterback Nate Snead with 1:35 remaining and the Titans knocked off the Dutch 31-28. Chapman kicked a field goal with six seconds left to edge Whitworth 16-14.
But in Illinois, one game might not be finished, as Concordia (Ill.) and Lake Forest had their game suspended by weather in the second quarter with Lake Forest leading 28-26. But despite the fact that the schools are just 32 miles apart, the contest might not be completed.

Tube traveller 'dragged along platform' by scarf caught in door
An accident in which a Tube traveller was dragged along a platform after her scarf caught in a train door is being officially investigated.
The woman, whose scarf was wrenched off by the train, suffered back and head injuries in the incident at Holborn Underground station in central London.
Arriving at Holborn she had moved towards a Piccadilly line train but stopped as she realised the doors were closing.
The Rail Accident Investigation Branch (RAIB), which is looking into the incident, said: "As she stopped, the end of the scarf that she was wearing continued to swing towards the train and became trapped between the closing doors.
"The train operator was unaware that the scarf was trapped in the door and after confirming that all doors were closed, started to move the train into the tunnel.
"The passenger was dragged along the platform as the train started to move. The station assistant tried to help the passenger by holding on to her and they both fell to the ground. This resulted in the scarf being forcibly removed from the passenger's neck and carried into the tunnel by the train."
The RAIB went on: "The passenger suffered injuries to her neck and back and was taken to hospital; she is now recovering."
The RAIB says an investigation will now seek to understand the sequence of events and examine the arrangements in place for the safe dispatch of trains from London Underground stations where station assistants are provided on the platform,

The universe is a big, ancient place, and we've barely scratched the surface of what it contains. We've also found some real gems, like this one: a star that's almost as old as the universe itself.
Sitting 190 lightyears from our solar system, HD 140283 was found almost a hundred years ago, and has been studied by astronomers ever since. Scientists knew the star was old due to it's composition of primarily helium and hydrogen, but it wasn't until now that they were able to narrow down its age and come up with any sort of number. It turns out that is roughtly 13.9 billion years, actually older than the universe—but there's a 700-million-year margin of error, which gives it plenty of room on the right side of the universe's birth.
Astronomers knew of another star that was almost this old, but the reading on this star in particular is far more likely to be accurate. It almost definitely is the oldest star we've ever seen. Ever. Who knows if they'll find an even older one, but frankly we're starting to run out of space on the timeline. [Nature via Geek]

9:30 am to 12:30 pm
So… you say you've heard about how comics can help people read, write, and even inspire social action? Maybe you've noticed that comics are increasingly appearing on syllabi and reading curriculum? Are you "on board" with the potential benefits of using comics in the classroom, but don't know where to start? Fear not: you too can bring comics into the classroom…in many different ways and for many different levels! But what if you've never worked with comics before, or if you're not a so-called "fanboy," or don't have time to teach a whole graphic novel in your class? Again, there is no reason to fear: this seminar will explore how you can work with parts of comics, use or make comics as writing or reading exercises in class, incorporate comics into larger assignments or projects, explore current events as well as history with comics, use comics to teach media literacies, engage more effectively with audiences through comics—and much much more! We won't be able to cover it all, but you'll leave the seminar excited to explore your own ways of using comics to teach reading and writing.

Cook the Book: Buffalo Burgers with Pepper Jack Cheese
This 4th of July, why not grill burgers made from America's original red meat, buffalo? Available in most butcher shops and many high-end supermarkets, buffalo is lower in fat than beef, and has less cholesterol than chicken breasts. In addition, bison are natural prairie grazers, raised without growth hormones or stimulants. The tender, juicy meat, slightly gamey in flavor, also makes excellent steaks, roasts, and even sausages.
Today's Cook the Book recipe, excerpted from Grill Every Day, is for Buffalo Burgers with Pepper Jack Cheese, but you can substitute any cheese or other topping you like. Serve with buttery grilled corn on the cob and plenty of napkins.
Win 'Grill Every Day'
In addition to excerpting a recipe each day this week, we're giving away five copies of Grill Every Day. Enter to win here.
- Yield:4 servings
- 1 1/2 pounds ground buffalo
- 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon Grill Every Day Spice Rub (recipe follows)
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 4 slices pepper jack cheese
- 4 sesame-seed hamburger buns, split
- 4 lettuce leaves
- 1 large tomato, sliced

Oil the grill. Brush the burgers on both sides with the canola oil. Place the burgers directly over the hot fire and sear on one side, about 4 minutes. Turn and sear on the other side until juicy and medium-rare, about 4 minutes more. About a minute before the burgers are done, place a slice of cheese on top of each burger, cover the grill, and let the cheese melt. Place the buns, cut side down, on the grill to toast during the last minute the burgers are cooking.

BRIDGEWATER, Va. – Freshman kicker John Griggs punched in a 33-yard field goal midway through the fourth quarter to break a 14-14 deadlock and the Bridgewater College defense got a late hold as the Eagles moved to 3-0 on the season with a 17-14 victory over the visiting Shenandoah Hornets in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) opener.
The win marked head coach Michael Clark's 120th career victory.
Both teams locked up in a classic defensive slugfest but Shenandoah (1-3, 0-1 ODAC) used a bit of trickery to get into Bridgewater territory early in the first quarter. With a fourth and two at their own 40, Hornets punter Cory Gay faked the punt and threw a 32-yard strike to Sean Blackman to push Shenandoah into Bridgewater territory.
Bridgewater's (3-0) defense pushed the Hornets back and forced a turnover on downs to keep the game scoreless midway through the opening frame.
The Eagles used the momentum from the defensive hold to go on a nine play, 66 yard scoring drive to take a 7-0 lead late in the first. Bridgewater's scoring drive was capped off by a 27-yard strike from junior Willie Logan to sophomore wide receiver Tyler Moneymakeron a big fourth-down conversion.
In the second stanza, both teams traded field position in a quickly played quarter with the scoreboard remaining unchanged and Bridgewater holding on to a 7-0 halftime lead.
Bridgewater went backwards on its first drive of the second half before the Hornets responded with a game-tying, 10-play, 71 yard drive to knot the score at seven each. Quarterback Corey Taylor capped off a methodical Hornets drive with a 14-yard touchdown run to bring the game back to even at a 7-7 tally midway through the third.
Following the Shenandoah score, the Eagles responded immediately on a pass-heavy second drive of the third quarter. Logan went 3-for-6 on the drive, which was capped off by his second touchdown pass of the day, this time a 63-yard connection with Shawn Lee to put the Eagles up 14-7 with under six to play in the third.
The Bridgewater defense forced a quick Shenandoah three and out, but Logan was intercepted and had his pick returned to the BC three to close out the third quarter.
Shenandoah struck on its first play of the final frame on a one-yard Taylor keeper to bring the game to a 14-14 tie.
After a change of possession for both teams, freshman Antonn Briley returned a punt 23 yards to the Shenandoah 25 to give the Eagles excellent field position.
Senior Ryan Green-Ellis scampered 15 yards on the first play of the series before the drive stalled out at a Shenandoah 16, forcing a field goal attempt for the Eagles.
Griggs punched a kick through the uprights from 33 yards out to put Bridgewater up by a 17-14 tally with under nine minutes left in the game.
Shenandoah couldn't establish much offense on its ensuing drive, but managed to pin the Eagles inside their own 10 with 6:22 to play.
Logan worked the Eagles out of their own endzone with a 36-yard pass to John Lezcano on third down but was forced to punt the ball back to the Hornets with three minutes remaining.
Bridgewater's defense was up to the task on the Hornets' possession, forcing a turnover on downs on a big sack from Danny Grogg and Joel Francis.
The Eagles took the ball back but couldn't run out the rest of the game clock and gave Shenandoah one last shot, but the Hornets couldn't get across midfield as the Eagles earned a hard-fought 17-14 victory.
With the win, the Eagles move to 3-0 for the sixth time since 2000 and improve to 12-1 against the Hornets.
Logan finished the afternoon 17-of-31 for 261 yards and two touchdowns to pace the Bridgewater aerial assault. Lee paced the way with two catches for 71 yards, while Michael Colee hauled in a team-high four catches on the afternoon.
Sophomore Jacob Wright was limited to 50 yards on 16 carries.
Junior linebacker Andrew Palmer paced the Bridgewater defense with a game-high 12 tackles, including 2.5 for a loss. Francis added 10 tackles a half-sack for the Eagles while Darrick Gore was outstanding from the defensive backfield with eight tackles.
Taylor was 9-of-16 through the air for 125 yards with David Bell leading the way with a game-high five catches for 53 yards.
Hornets tailback Carl Joseph was held to just 29 yards on 19 runs. The Hornets were limited to just 55 yards on 42 carries as the Eagles held their third opponent of the season under 100 yards on the ground.
Jajuan Johnson paced the Hornets defense with 12 tackles, including a game-high nine solo stops.
Bridgewater was 7-of-20 on third down on the day and held the Hornets to a paltry 1-of-14 effort on the third down. The Eagles also controlled the clock, owning a 33:25-to-26:35 advantage.
The Eagles are back in action on Saturday on the road at Newport News Apprentice. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

Andrew Woodley -- Otterbein Sports Information
WESTERVILLE, OHIO – The Otterbein Cardinals failed to convert on a fourth down with five minutes left in the fourth quarter. Meanwhile, Baldwin-Wallace converted a fourth down on the ensuing possession to seal a 27-21 victory Saturday night at Memorial Stadium.
With the loss the Cardinals fall to 1-4 overall, 0-4 in the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC). Baldwin-Wallace improved to 4-1, 3-1 in the OAC.
Otterbein entered the second half trailing 20-14. Senior quarterback Austin Schlosser connected with senior wide receiver Trey Fairchild over the middle for a 68-yard touchdown to give the Cardinals a 21-20 lead with 6:37 left in the third quarter.
Baldwin-Wallace immediately responded with a seven play, 58-yard drive in under a minute and a half. Junior quarterback Ryan O'Rourke capped off the drive with a five-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Mike McGervey to give the Yellow Jackets a 27-21 lead with 5:02 remaining in the third quarter.
After the two quick scores, the contest became a defensive battle. Both the Cardinals and Yellow Jackets made key stops to keep their teams in contention. Otterbein held Baldwin-Wallace twice on fourth down deep in their own territory. The Jackets answered the call as well, intercepting two Schlosser passes.
Otterbein's last opportunity on offense came with 9:28 left in the fourth quarter. Schlosser moved the offense from the Otterbein 27-yard line to the Baldwin-Wallace 27 on just six plays.
The Cardinal drive would stall in Yellow Jacket territory. Junior running back Cody Green lost six yards on an option play, and Schlosser threw two incompletions to set the Cardinals up with a fourth down and 15.
Schlosser could not escape the Baldwin-Wallace pressure on fourth down. Senior defensive end Derron Hamilton, the conference sack leader, ended the Cardinal threat by sacking Schlosser.
The Yellow Jackets never gave the ball back. After Otterbein had exhausted all of their timeouts, O'Rourke completed a 25-yard pass to senior wide receiver Dan Turner on a fourth down play with less than three minutes remaining in the game to seal the Baldwin-Wallace victory.
Schlosser finished the evening 26 of 38 for 350 yards and three touchdowns. He also threw a season-high two interceptions.
Fairchild, who entered the game as the NCAA Division III leader in all-purpose yards, added 154 yards receiving on nine catches. He also added 16 yards on punt returns and 84 yards on kickoff returns (254 all-purpose yards).
Senior Steve Kuzyk added seven receptions for 89 yards and one touchdown. Senior tight end Gabe Shively turned in five receptions for 68 yards (both career highs) and one touchdown.
For the first time this season, senior linebacker Shane Centers failed to reach double-digit tackles. However, he led the defensive effort for the Cardinals with a team-high nine tackles. Defensive backs Shea Brintlinger and Anthony Korpieski added eight tackles apiece.
Otterbein returns to action next Saturday, Oct. 15, when they host cross-town rival Capital. Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m.

Portia has de-cided to become a DeGeneres.
After nearly two years of marriage to Ellen DeGeneres, actress Portia de Rossi filed the necessary paperwork Friday in Los Angeles to adopt her wife's surname, TMZ reported.
"Petitioner is taking the last name of her spouse," said de Rossi's court petition, according to TMZ.
De Rossi and DeGeneres wed Aug. 16, 2008 in Beverly Hills, shortly before California voters banned gay marriage with Proposition 8.
The couple was among a host of Hollywood celebrities who cheered a federal judge's decision in San Francisco last week to overturn the ban.
"This just in: Equality won!" DeGeneres tweeted, while de Rossi called the decision a "incredibly exciting and historical day and a big step towards equal rights for all."
The Wednesday court decision, which Judge Vaughn R. Walker immediately stayed pending appeal by gay marriage opponents, is expected to reach the U.S. Supreme Court.

Broncos Insider: Peyton Manning to return in 2014-15 … Taking your barber to the Super Bowl?
Good Monday morning, Broncos fans. Tonight the Broncos Insider comes to you from New York City, where we're staying for the next eight days to cover Super Bowl XLVIII.
MANNING IS BACK IN 2014-15: The Denver Post's Mike Klis in Jersey City, N.J., from Sunday's first media briefing at the Super Bowl. "The Broncos have a guaranteed $20 million salary waiting for Manning next season. The grand plan is for Manning to collect that dough while hopefully defending the Super Bowl championship the Broncos can earn Sunday by defeating the Seattle Seahawks at MetLife Stadium in nearby East Rutherford."
"'A number of players have walked away as champions,' Manning said. 'I'm sure that's a great feeling for those people. John Elway. Ray Lewis did it last year. Michael Strahan. Talking to Ray Lewis and talking to John Elway, they couldn't play any more (physically). That was all they had to give. They truly left it all out there.'
"'I still enjoy playing football. I feel a little better than I thought I would at this point coming off that (neck fusion) surgery.'" http://dpo.st/1e8lW3E
MILE HIGH SENDOFF: The Broncos boarded a United charter plane from Denver International Airport Sunday. At noon, hundreds of fans gathered at Civic Center to send the Broncos off: http://bit.ly/LcJSIw … PHOTOS showing the inside of the plane: http://bit.ly/1giatSe
AND THEN THEY ARRIVED IN NEW JERSEY Mike Klis reports: "After inching through the mob that awaited the Broncos in front of their hotel, the buses stopped and Denver football operations boss John Elway walked out of one. He was immediately approached by a handsome young man wearing a blue overcoat who somehow managed to fight his way through fans, media, security and state troopers.

Racing Schools - Hit The Road, Scott
Skip Barber And Jim Russell Racing Schools Can Help Make You A More Well-Rounded Driver
Come on, admit it, you've got it too-the nagging. When you chomp your corn flakes in the morning, it's there at the back of your mind and you just can't shake it. How can I become a better racer? Don't deny it-you and every other Circle Track reader is blessed (or burdened) by the same drive, the same passion. So what do you do now?
That's exactly what Los Angeles native Scott Muir asked himself recently. Scott's just like the rest of us-works a job, supports his wife, pays the bills, and escapes all-too-seldom to the racetrack.
So what does it take for a regular Joe like Scott-or you-to take it to the next level? How can you turn a weekend dare-we-say hobby into a bona fide professional racing career?
Well, for starters you've got to be a well-rounded racer to make it to the upper echelon of motorsports today. That means going beyond just wheeling your street stock around the local bullring. It also means familiarizing yourself with different forms of racing at different types of tracks. A road course is just the ticket to spread your wings beyond the four turns we're all used to, and it'll make you a better short track racer too. But exactly how and where to gain that extra experience?
To find out, we shipped Every-Day-Joe Scott and his cohort Jim Frye out of L.A. to the cooler climes of Monterey, California, the West Coast home of the Skip Barber Racing School at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca. After Skip Barber, the pair continued north to Jim Russell Racing Drivers School at Infineon Raceway. Skip Barber and Jim Russell are two premier West Coast road racing schools where you can get on your way to being that well-rounded racer along with a Sports Car Club of America (SCCA) competitive racing license.
Skip Barber
Scott's first stop: Skip Barber. "It's well respected, and it's been around a long time," said Scott. "Plus it's at Laguna Seca-a world-famous track with the world-famous Corkscrew."
Patrick Linn, a drag racer from Orlando, Florida, came to get his regional license with plans to take the two-day advanced course in Sebring, Florida, for a national license. "This is my first race school ever," he said. "And my first time on a road course. I'll never drag race again."
Matt Thill, from Phoenix, Arizona, said, "Besides getting my license, I picked Skip Barber because it has its own race series, and that's a big selling point. You can go race its car, race its stuff, its tires, and you don't have to have the heavy outlay of cash for the vehicle and the maintenance."
The Car
The Skip Barber car is an open wheel, single-seater Formula Ford, with a Dodge four-cylinder motor that tips the scales at 1,250 pounds. You get 150 hp at 5,800 rpm with maximum torque reaching 126 lb-ft at 5,200 rpm. Cranking through the Ricardo Engineering five-speed sequential gearbox will get you to a top speed of 135 mph on BFGoodrich g-Force Traction T/A street tires.
These cars were built for racing; there wasn't much civilized about them. "You can't just flick it around like a street car," said Scott. "Shifting gears takes a good pull or push, not a wimpy little movement." But that's not to say the car wasn't responsive. It was quick to react to load transfer, steering inputs, braking, and acceleration. "Because the car weighs so little," said Scott, "it takes no time at all to react to your inputs."
The Track-and That Famous Corkscrew OK, let's get this out of the way-the Corkscrew is fun. Plain and simple. "It's a pure joy to drive," said Scott. "The approach was actually scarier than the Corkscrew itself." You can't see where you're heading as you crest over the hill-you need to set yourself up correctly from the beginning, because there's no time for correction once you're in. "It's an absolute thrill."
The Track-And That Famous Corkscrew
OK, let's get this out of the way-the Corkscrew is fun. Plain and simple. "It's a pure joy to drive," said Scott. "The approach was actually scarier than the Corkscrew itself." You can't see where you're heading as you crest over the hill-you need to set yourself up correctly from the beginning, because there's no time for correction once you're in. "It's an absolute thrill."
But there's more to Laguna Seca than just the famous Corkscrew. The track is perfect for learning because it combines high-speed and low-speed corners, challenging turns with more than one apex, and lots of runoff to accommodate student mistakes. Driving just a few laps is worth the price of admission-although there was a lot more driving than that.
The Curriculum
Here's the quick and dirty. Day one: fundamentals of downshifting, braking, racing lines, getting a feel for the car and for the track-useful for less experienced drivers. Day two: high-speed braking, trail braking-more intense and perfect for learning how to handle a race car. Day three: passing, drafting, race starts and re-starts-definitely got you ready for your first competitive racing event.
"The curriculum has been around for 30 years," said Mikel Miller, the lead instructor. "It's designed to teach you what you need to know to race when you walk out of here after your third day." Upwards of 70 percent of the time is spent in the car.
The Instructors
"Mistakes happen," said Miller, "and as long as you learn from them, you won't be reprimanded." It's this philosophy that permeated the entire three days, creating an atmosphere where you weren't afraid to screw up.
The instructors for this particular three-day school all came up through the racing ranks, which means they know exactly what it takes to make the jump into a racing career.
"Being a racing teacher has taught me to approach things more methodically," said Miller. "I've learned that you need to approach racing like you'd approach a business. It takes a certain amount of money and it takes persistence. So you need to approach it methodically like you do a career."
Fellow instructor Steve "Stevie" DeBrecht said that Skip Barber's biggest endorsement is the fact that the industry's heavy hitters send their kids there. "We've seen the Andretti clan, Alex Gurney, the Unsers," said DeBrecht. "Go ahead and look at the Grand Am grid these days and I defy you to show me a dozen guys who haven't passed through Skip Barber at some point."
Scott's Perspective
What advice does Scott have for guys interested in coming to Skip Barber? "Bring paper to take notes on," he said. "I ran out of room writing on the back of my track map." Also, he said don't show up as a know-it-all. "Listen to what's being taught and don't shut it out. You need to realize that you are probably doing some stuff wrong and you can learn." And most importantly, he said, "Take advantage of the fact that you have professional instructors all around the track critiquing your driving. It's a rare opportunity to get this level of attention."
You Should Go To Skip Barber If...
You want to drive a race car around one of the country's most famous tracks and through one of the country's most famous turns-the Corkscrew! Or, you can attend at any number of tracks where Skip Barber operates around the country. This school is for anyone who wants to learn the fundamentals of becoming a race car driver in a fun, supportive atmosphere from some of the industry's top instructors.
Jim Russell
Now, on to Jim Russell in Sonoma, California-smack in the middle of California's beautiful Napa Valley. Infineon Raceway is home to everything from Open Wheel to American Le Mans to NASCAR, which just completed its twenty-first year there. The track is a 2.52-mile road course with 12 turns-the NASCAR course has 10 turns at 1.99 miles. Infineon features more than 160 feet of elevation change from its highest to lowest points. And it has Turn 6-the famous Carousel, which at more than 180-degrees, is a sweeping, downhill lefthander that seems to go on forever.
"This track is probably the most challenging track in the world, definitely the United States," said senior instructor Rick McCormick. "If you look at the professional drivers from Indy, NASCAR, Le Mans, they'll tell you that this track hones your skills. If you can drive here you can drive anywhere."
The Car
Arriving that first morning, Scott had one thing on his mind-the FJR-50 race car he was about to drive. It's the most intimidating vehicle Scott had ever sat in: A single-seater Formula 3 with a four-cylinder, turbo-charged Mitsubishi IX spec motor, which puts out 300 hp at 7,500 rpm and 273 lb-ft of torque in race mode-although the school trim is 225 hp and 225 lb-ft of torque.
It sports a Hewland sequential five-speed gearbox in a Lola-designed chassis and wears Yokohama F3 spec racing slicks on all four corners. And they stuff all of this into a neat and tidy package weighing less than 1,300 pounds with driver.
"This is the best car in the industry for a school," said McCormick. "Nobody has a car like this."
Class participant Dan Cass had a keen respect for these cars: "I was more intimated to get into these cars than I was to get into an aircraft to do acrobatics at 10,000 feet," he said. He was referring to the fact that he had just completed an aerial combat exercise in a military plane two days prior.
"I knew this was serious," said Scott. "This car means business." And they didn't waste any time getting down to business. After 30 minutes of introductions in the classroom, they shifted outside where students quickly topped 100 mph in braking exercises. This is where Scott's problem started.
The Problem
Let me explain: The day before traveling up to Sonoma, Scott fell and injured his tailbone. "When I first sat in the car, I didn't know if this was going to work," said Scott. And his fears were confirmed during that first braking exercise. "The pressure on my tailbone was so intense during shifting and braking that I couldn't concentrate because of the pain. I thought I was done." But the Jim Russell crew worked like a finely tuned pit crew to ensure Scott's comfort.
The Curriculum
The Jim Russell school claims to have one goal in mind: To offer drivers the most authentic and complete driving experience possible. So how does it do this?
Day One: Classroom instruction paled in comparison to actually getting into the cars-those incredibly powerful yet agile cars-and blasting through a high-speed braking exercise on the dragstrip. Students hammered through five gears of clutchless up-shifting to more than 100 mph then broke hard while heel-toe downshifting. Then again. And again. Until it became second nature.
The afternoon saw slalom exercises designed to help drivers better understand how to rotate the car between cones, then lead-follow track sessions to learn the racing line.
Day Two: Students squealed through figure-eight exercises to learn how to harness over- and understeer. They then zoomed down to Turn 11 to practice smooth brake release before spending the remainder of the afternoon in lead-follow and open lapping sessions.
Day Three: The last day, students drove tons of open lapping with instructor feedback. The day wrapped up with students hopping into a two-seater car with an instructor at the wheel for one final, high-speed lap to show you how it's done.
"The limits of the car are so great that just trying to approach them is difficult," said Kerry Babinksi, a class participant who flew in from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The Instructors
The instructors are accomplished racers and industry heavyweights. McCormick started at Jim Russell in 1990 as a mechanic in the training program. He landed a couple rides, got into Sprint Car, then landed the gig as a full-time instructor. "Here, we teach the ground-up basics of racing," said McCormick. "These are skills that apply in oval track too."
The Jim Russell success-story poster boy, though, is instructor and alumni Dane Cameron, who came up through the karting program. He won the 2005 championship, got a partial scholarship with the graduate run-offs, moved into open-wheel cars, and has been competing nationally ever since. (Grand Am Rolex series)
"Jim Russell was a huge step for me to get into racing," said Cameron. "It was definitely what got me to the next level."
Scott's Two Cents
"Don't injure your tailbone before you go," says Scott. And he's not joking-try to be in tip-top shape for the school. This is a physically demanding experience. Honing reaction time, adjusting to different cars and learning the nuances of reading a track are all things you can take back to the short track. Come in with an open mind and listen to the instructors. No matter who you are or what you drive, you can improve your game.
You Should Go To Jim Russell If...
You're interested in driving an incredibly dynamic race car around one of the country's most famous racetracks. But also, it's for anyone who's serious about getting professional instruction to move your racing career forward. Because of the seriousness of these cars, a level of experience will better position you if you want to drive here-but a person with no experience will still learn a ton and have a great time doing it.
But Aren't These Schools Only For Road Racers?
No. The skills learned are very similar to those used by circle track drivers. "Most formula car drivers have gone through Skip Barber at some point," said Skip Barber's Kris Wilson. "But the same goes for IndyCar drivers and Stock Car drivers, such as the Jeff Gordons and the Jimmy Johnsons."
McCormick, with Jim Russell, said that circle track drivers get a huge benefit from attending racing school. "A.J. Foyt, Mario Andretti, they'd drive anything to improve their skill," he said. "They were well-rounded drivers. Road racing will make you work with its left and right turns. You can improve reaction times, adapt to new situations and challenges quicker, and analyze the track surfaces better through road racing."
Fellow instructor Cameron added, "Road racing has become more and more important to NASCAR and other major sanctions. There's a lot to learn just in general car control and basic techniques."
So What's Next?
OK, Scott, you've finished the three-day schools at either Skip Barber or Jim Russell. Now what? "First I pay my $90 national fee to join the SCCA, which is needed for the license." Then Scott visits his doctor-a physical is required. Next, he contacts the school for his Letter of Compliance. And finally, he sends the letter and all the forms to the SCCA, and buys everyone a round of beers once the license shows up in the mail.
Well, Scott with all this great schooling we'll see you in Victory Lane!

Honey Ginger Balsamic Glazed Beets
During lunch hour from my day job (except when it's my evening job), I like to go a short distance down the road to the local Korean grocer to pick up fruits, veggies and kosher cheese, all at insanely low prices. For example, while black raspberries are around $4.00 per 1/2 pint at the local Try-n-Save, here they can be as low as 99 cents! Except for rare occurrences, the produce is very fresh and holds up very well in my fridge (or basket on my counter in the case of tomatoes).
The other day they had loose beets for significantly less than those bunches at the supermarket, so I picked up 3 medium-ish sized ones. After dinner (because if I roasted them before dinner, dinner would have ended around 10pm), I fired up the intertubes to find a good-looking recipe.
I came across two.
The first one showed that fresh beets could be successfully microwaved. Before spotting A Veggie Venture, I thought that the only way to cook beets properly was to roast them. While roasted beets are awesomely delicious, it does take a while. And much of the benefits of the roasting gets removed and discarded along with their skins. But after reading Alanna's post, I was very anxious to try a quicker version.
The second was from The Kitchn, where a photo of a quite yummy-looking beet salad beckoned. I used the nuked beets, as Dana (I think, since she took the photos ...the site is a team effort) suggested to make a hot veggie side for the third recipe you won't see until tomorrow. Sorry, two recipes in one day is my limit.
|Hint: Tomorrow's recipe is on the left.
Oh, for a change I used fresh ginger. I picked up some when I had a nasty cold and lived on tea mit honey and ginger. Although the cold lasted almost 2 weeks, it wasn't as bad as I usually feel. So who knows? But despite drinking about a bazillion (give or take) cups of tea during those almost 2 weeks, I still have a lot left residing in my freezer. So I took the time to use some of it here.
Microwaved Fresh Beets
Adapted from A Veggie Venture
Yield: 3-4 servings
3 medium sized fresh beets
Scrub the beets to remove any dirt. Trim stem, if attached, down to about an inch. Leave the tail intact.
|Try to pick 3 about the same size ... not like me.
Place in a single layer in a microwave-safe dish. Cover and cook at full power for 10 minutes.
Depending upon what "medium sized" means to you, the beets might be done. Test by poking with the tip of a knife; if the knife pierces easily through to the center then they are done. If not, flip them over, recover and nuke another 5 minutes. If still not done, keep cooking for another 3 minutes, repeating until the beets are done.
Uncover and let cool a few minutes so you don't burn your hands. Then carefully peel off the skins. Wear rubber gloves if you don't want to dye your fingers pink.
Then cut through horizontally to make julienne-ish slices. Serve immediately or continue with next recipe.
Honey Ginger Balsamic Glazed Beets
Adapted from The Kitchn
Yield: 3-4 servings
3 cooked medium sized beets, cut julienne style
1 Tbl. olive oil
1 Tbl. minced fresh ginger
1 Tbl. balsamic vinegar
1 Tbl. honey
Heat a small saute pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add olive oil, wait 10 seconds, then add the ginger. Stir for about 30 seconds or until fragrant (do not let burn).
Add the beets and vinegar. Stir until the beets are heated through (the time will depend upon if they were chilled or just cooked).
Add the honey and stir through about another 30 seconds.
Serve hot as a side-dish, or chill and serve atop a salad.

WASHINGTON, March 23 (UPI) -- The U.S. Senate, by the slimmest of margins, approved its first budget in four years early Saturday, party leaders said.
The 50-49 vote came about 5 a.m., with four Democrats joining the entire GOP caucus in voting "no," The Hill reported.
The Democratic dissenters -- Max Baucus of Montana, Mark Begich of Alaska, Kay Hagan of North Carolina and Mark Pryor of Arkansas -- are all up for re-election next year in states for voted for Mitt Romney.
Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., missed the vote.
Senate Budget Chairwoman Patty Murray, D-Wash., said the budget resolution "puts economic growth and the middle class first."
The Senate plan relies on $975 billon in new tax revenues over the next 10 years. It cuts $975 billion from spending, including $275 billion from Medicare and Medicaid. Still, it fails to close the budget gap by $566 billion because it ends $1.22 trillion in automatic spending cuts.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., called the resolution "a rehash of the extreme policies that continue to hobble the economy and crush the middle class."
He predicted it would not become law.
The House passed its budget resolution Thursday on a 221-207 party line vote.
The two bills now go to a joint House-Senate conference that will attempt to work out differences between them.

Christina Aguilera doesn't have to worry about giving up on her man if he doesn't "say something," because he did. And part of it was, "Will you marry me?"
The pop star revealed on Twitter today that she is engaged to boyfriend of three years Matthew Rutler, writing, "He asked and I said......," and included a sweet photo of her hand flaunting a gigantic diamond ring as she holds his hand with the beautiful beach scenery behind them. Aw!
The couple met on the set of Xtina's 2010 film "Burlesque," where Rutler was working as a productions assistant.
Aguilera was previously married to Jordan Bratman from November 2005 until October 2010, and actually finalized their divorce on Valentine's Day 2011. They share custody of 6-year-old son Max Bratman.
WATCH: This 4-year-old can't help but get emotional when listening to "Say Something"
"He's the love of my life, and I adore him," Aguilera gushed about Max on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show. ... He's such a character, and he's so happy and at the end of the day, that's what's most important."
The two lovebirds have been living together in the Grammy-winning vocalist's new Mulholland Estates mansion in Los Angeles, which she bought in April 2013 for $10 million.
Although the pair keep their relationship relatively private, they were photographed heading out to a dinner in Hollywood to celebrate Aguilera's birthday in December, and were also recently spotted enjoying a day stroll in Los Angeles. The duo grabbed a few goodies at Book Soup in West Hollywood before heading back home arm-in-arm.
