|Pigskin Picks
|Monday, December 31, 2012 11:14 AM
Not a bad week for us.
LSU: LSU may not be the best offense but the defense is right there among the nation's best. Clemson got their tails kicked last year in a bowl game, though last year West Virginia went hog-wild on them offensively. This one will be a different makeup but same ending; Clemson with an "L".
GEORGIA: Georgia lost their starting noseguard — a projected first-rounder; those don't grow on trees. Still, this is not a banner year for Big Ten and the embarrassment of Cornhuskers last game — a blowout loss in Big Ten title game — doesn't leave much in the way of confidence. Dawgs rule.
STANFORD: Read above. The Big Ten fell a lot this fall among the nation's power conferences and the Cardinal run defense is a load. Expect a head-knocker but Stanford prevails.
FLORIDA: Why did I pick this one? I figure Gators will win in a rout, though with this pick and my paranoia about teams "knowing" I pick them — if you get my drift!! — that means it will be closer.
KANSAS STATE: Both teams have been off quite a spell. The later bowl games tend to be less explosive because it's hard to maintain the timing in practice. I like K-State, especially with a pretty good defense under Bill Snyder.
GREEN BAY: All-Day has the Eric Dickerson goal in mind but Packers are starting to heal up on defense — they will FORCE Ponder to beat them! — and that offense — outside of when they play Giants — is putting it together at the right time. Green Bay puts up big numbers in big win.
CHICAGO: Megatron will get his for Lions. However, Lions are not the "feel-good" story they were and Bears are fighting for playoff lives. I think that is enough for them to eke out a win.
NY GIANTS: Giants have stunk it up totally lately. I still pick them not because they are overwhelming but because Iggles are even in worse shape and will bid adieu to Andy Reid as coach Sunday night. Don't worry; he will be coaching somewhere because he is too good but they do need a different "voice."
INDIANAPOLIS: The return of Chuck Pagano on the sideline has to be an incredibly emotional lift for back-from-the-dead Colts. Texans are not closing as they had hoped and methinks that trend continues in OilDome.
LSU: It's the Tigers vs Tigers in the Georgia Dome. LSU sports one of the nation's best defenses, while Clemson has relied heavily on its top-flight offense. One will have to give; I like the Tigers to come away with the win.....LSU Tigers.
Georgia: Both coming off painful losses in huge games; the Bulldogs came five yards short of playing Notre Dame for the National Championship; while Nebraska endured an ugly loss in the Big Ten title game and missed out on a Rose Bowl berth. I like the Bulldogs to come away with the win.
Stanford: Stanford rolls into the Rose Bowl with an impressive November that included five consecutive wins over ranked teams, including then-No. 2 Oregon. Wisconsin, playing in its third consecutive Rose Bowl, arrives as the first 5-loss team to play in the Granddaddy, one that actually finished third in the Big Ten Leaders Division. The Badgers are only here because Ohio State and Penn State aren't eligible due to NCAA sanctions. The Badgers are there by default and Stanford will make the Badgers look like they don't belong there; the Cardinal win big.
Florida: Louisville is a clear underdog in the Sugar Bowl but the Cardinals can already claim one major victory over an SEC team this postseason. The Gators should have no problems against the Cardinals.
Oregon: This is probably the best game, even better than the National Championship game. These teams were on a collision course to be in that title game until they both tripped up late in the season. I would have picked K State before they were throttled in their one week as the number one team. The Ducks lost a game in overtime to Stanford. I like Oregon to come away with the victory.
Washington: Another game where the division is on the line; it's going to come down to who wants it more and I think the Redskins do.
Green Bay: Green Bay is already in and are playing well; they take it to the Vikings in tuning up for the playoffs.
Chicago: The Bears' playoff hope are still alive; they should have no problems against the again-struggling Lions.
N.Y. Giants: Both teams are in tailspins but the Eagles more so. This could be Andy Reid's last game as the Eagles head coach; the Giants send him out on a losing note.
Indianapolis: How about those Colts? The worst team in the NFL last year is this season's feel-good story. They have been "Chuckstrong" and with their head coach back on the sidelines this week, they can and will head into the playoffs with a win,
LSU: Chicken in a bowl, roasted, barbequed, strips, wings – I'll take it any way they want to serve it!!! Les Miles is one of the premier coaches in the country and has LSU in contention for championships year in and year out. The Chick fil-A-Bowl pits strength against strength as one of the nation's best offenses (Clemson) faces one of the top defenses (LSU) at the Georgia Dome. Clemson's Tajh Boyd is a real talent but LSU's defense is as good as it gets. LSU has compiled a 9-1 record at the Georgia Dome and is 5-0 in this bowl, outscoring the opposition 78-6 in its last two appearances. Going with the Tigers!
Georgia: The Bulldogs came up five yards short against Alabama that kept them away from playing in the National Championship Game. The Cornhuskers got totally embarrassed in the Big Ten title game keeping them out of the Rose Bowl. Hence, it comes down to who wants this game more after their seasons were crushed in the conference title games. SEC vs. Big Ten – not a great history! Nebraska has a great trio in QB Taylor Martinez and running backs Rex Burkhead and Ameer Abdullah; however, they're up against another great SEC defense anchored by SEC defensive player of the year Jarvis Jones. Sorry Big 10 – going with Bulldogs!
Stanford: Wow! You're one of the best coaches in the Big Ten (Bret Bielema) and qualify to play in the Rose Bowl and you depart to go to Arkansas and the SEC – GOOD LUCK WITH THAT BRET – and you thought you struggled with recruiting against Urban in the Big 10. I've really loved watching the Cardinals play this year and have been real impressed with their head coach, David Shaw. I'm a big fan of the Badger's Montee Ball but I just feel the Cardinal's overall performance on both sides of the ball will prevail in this one. Sorry again, BIG 10 – going with the Cardinals!
Florida: The fourth-ranked Gators look for their fifth straight win in a BCS bowl against the Cardinals. Louisville has the Big East offensive player of the year in Teddy Bridgewater but will have to see if he has fully recovered from a broken wrist and a sore ankle that kept out of the last game against Rutgers. Complicating things further, Teddy will have to face a Gators defense unlike anything he has seen in a long time, ranking third nationally in points allowed (12.9 per game) and given up five passing touchdowns while making 19 interceptions. Going with the Gators!
Oregon: I love everything about this team (Ducks)! Their uniforms, offensive play calls, Coach Chip Kelly and the colors green and gold (Editor's note: I wonder why???). The Ducks have arguably the most talented group of linebackers in the country. Collin Klein is good but remember he lost to Baylor 52-24 and the Ducks' defense is as good, if not a lot better, than Baylor was this year. Can you smell what the Duck is cookin???? Going with the Ducks!
Bengals and THE JUNGLE!
Green Bay: The Packers have won 12 straight against NFC North opponents, have won four in a row and 10 of the last 11. Packers QB Aaron Rodgers has thrown for 5,927 yards, 49 TDs and just 8 INTs in 20 career games indoors. And this guy sat for how many years behind Bret Favre? The Vikings' all-world RB Adrian Peterson is only 102 yards away from 2,000 for the season and 208 away from breaking Eric Dickerson's single-season rushing record. A CLASS ACT but going with the Packers!
Detroit: I must confess, not really interested in this game. Both teams came into the year with high expectations, especially the Bears. My hat is off to the Lions' All-Pro wide receiver Calvin Johnson for what he's accomplished over the years playing for a subpar team for most of his career. My thoughts – catch the game for a half, slip over to Greektown or MGM and see what's going on and go to the Red wings game (OH, that's right, is the NHL ever going to play again)???? Going with the Lions!
N.Y. Giants: Talk about disappointing seasons. A ton of talent that will be sitting on the sidelines this year as the playoffs start. I would really like to see the Eagles win, especially for Andy Reid, but I'm going with the Giants. Four quarters of play and then – who's the next head coach of the Eagles, what will they do with Michael Vick, what changes will be demanded in the Meadowlands???? (EN: Stay tuned!!)
Indianapolis: What a great year for the Colts and rookie Andrew Luck. The Colts will welcome back to the sidelines their head coach, Chuck Pagano. A second beating of Indianapolis can still clinch big things for the Texans – specifically home-field advantage throughout the conference playoffs. Though the Colts have slumped statistically as of late, Luck and the Colts have still shown a knack for rising to emotional occasions and finding myriad ways to win games they'd appeared to have no business claiming. With Pagano returning to the fold this week, I'm going with the Colts!

Innovation Extracts: "The Increasing Dominance of Teams in Production of Knowledge"
In their article in Science (Vol. 316, 18 May 2007, pp. 1036-1039, abstract at http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/1136099), Stefan Wuchty, Benjamin F. Jones, and Brian Uzzi detail how their analysis of nearly 20 million research papers from the past 50 years and 2.1 million patents shows that, regardless of the field, more and more research is being done by teams.

William Ury, Bantam Books, New York, NY. 2007
The Power of a Positive No: How to Say No and Still Get to Yes
Working with limited resources, whether it's time, funds, equipment, or people, one can't always say "Yes" eagerly to each request for a service, product, decision, or action. But it's hard to say "No", whether in the family, community, or work environment. As presented by William Ury in The Power of a Positive No (Bantam Books, 2007) saying "Yes" may be as likely to have negative consequences as the perceived negative impact of saying "No". Ury introduces the concept of the 'Three A Trap'. These are the three alternative responses one often uses instead of saying "No":
- Accommodate: agree to do something one doesn't want to do
- Attack: use power and say "No" without respect
- Avoid: provide no response to avoid offending, which creates frustration
These responses can produce a vicious cycle. Accommodation can lead to resentment, which may lead to an attack response the next time, leading to a feeling of guilt, and accommodation or avoidance for the next round.
As an alternative, building on the concepts of relationship, positions, and interests first introduced in Getting to Yes (Roger Fisher and William Ury, Penguin Books, 1991), Ury presents the 'Positive No', integrating relationship and interests in a three step response. In the first step, the respondent internally acknowledges and says "Yes" to their own or organizational interests. This gives them the power to say "No" to the request in the second step. However, the "No" response is given respectfully, possibly with explanation of the respondent's interests and reasoning. This leads to the third step, in which the asker is invited to agree and say "Yes" to the "No", maintaining the relationship. The book provides more detailed information on approaches to prepare, deliver, and follow through on a 'Positive No'.
Ury recommends that we respond from purpose, not emotion, for our needs but not against others, and be proactive, not reactive. He uses an analogy of taking time on the balcony to look down at the situation and observe and think before responding. Ask questions, listen to the answers, and look for third options that can be proposed from a positive perspective.

12 Breakfasts for Diet Success
Your Diet's Secret Weapon
Think you'll skip breakfast this morning so you can splurge on holiday goodies later and avoid some weight gain? Not so fast.
"This strategy invariably backfires," says David Katz, MD, associate clinical professor of public health and medicine at Yale University School of Medicine, in New Haven, Connecticut, and author of The Way to Eat (Sourcebooks, 2002). "It triggers the 'primal fear of hunger response.' Throughout most of human history, being without food was a threat to survival, so when food was plentiful, we'd overcompensate for the lean times. It's built into our genes. If you go without eating, particularly around the holidays, and you wind up in front of a sumptuous spread, in the span of an hour or less, you'll eat more calories than you should have had all day long."
Eating a good breakfast does more than cut the risk of bingeing later on -- it revs up your metabolism, provides energy for your body and brain, and is a key strategy for weight loss and maintenance.
"As the word implies, it really is breaking a fast when the body wakes up empty," says Leslie Bonci, a registered dietitian and director of sports nutrition at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Among participants in the National Weight Control Registry, an ongoing study of more than 4,000 people who've lost a minimum of 30 pounds and kept it off for at least a year, 80 percent are regular breakfast eaters. Meanwhile, other research shows breakfast skippers have 4.5 times the risk for obesity.
A study at the University of Texas at El Paso found that people who ate a substantial breakfast consumed an average of 100 fewer calories a day than when they didn't eat breakfast. Though that may not sound like much, over a year it could mean a 10-pound weight loss.
Breakfast also seems to blunt the effects of hormones that contribute to weight gain. A 2002 Welsh study found an association between eating breakfast cereal and lower levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that stokes appetite and promotes dangerous fat accumulation around the belly.
So what should you eat for breakfast? Experts agree it's best to include lean protein and fiber. The body has to work harder to digest protein than carbs, so it burns more calories in the process. And because a protein and fiber-rich breakfast is digested more slowly than a carbs-only meal, blood sugar levels stay steady, so you don't get hungry as quickly. In a 12-year study of more than 74,000 women, those who ate the most fiber were half as likely to gain weight as those who ate the least. Starting the day with fiber even holds blood sugar and insulin levels steady regardless of what you eat later. And, of course, fiber has other benefits, such as lowering the risk of diabetes, heart disease, stroke, and colon cancer.

In an interview with POLITICO's Mike Allen Tuesday morning, Napolitano said that the shoe-removal policy could soon be discarded as the Transportation Security Administration retools its screening procedures and adopts new technologies.
"We are moving towards an intelligence and risk-based approach to how we screen," Napolitano told Allen. "I think one of the first things you will see over time is the ability to keep your shoes on."
However, Napolitano cautioned that one of the most maligned screening restrictions, the size limitation on liquids in carry-on luggage, would probably not be changed in the near future.
Last week, Napolitano said in a statement that there was no credible evidence to suggest an imminent terror attack, but cautioned citizens to be extra vigilant as the tenth anniversary of the September 11 attacks draws near.

I was going to suggest Olive, because I've been thinking that is pretty, but then I remembered that Olive and Ivy is the name of a restaurant, so uh, nevermind.
And forget June. I'm dreading MAY.

A couple of those names are on my list... as is Ivy. I don't even know what I am having yet but I am hoping two of your children's names aren't on my list! oh well.
I have officially given up on the name Ruby because my husband doesn't like it. But I love it so much. Ivy and Ruby. It isn't popular in NYC yet but maybe it is on the west side.

Good luck! We are in the same boat. No idea what this sweet little girl in my womb is either. With Ruby, we knew right away. This one? I am 22 weeks along and have no clue!
We like old names, though.
Hazel (the highest one up on our list..a strong possibility), Caroline, Louise, Eleanor, Nora, Nellie. Guess I'll just have to have 6 more girls!

I am determined to convince someone to name their daughter Kyrié (pronounced kee-ree-ay) because it is such an awesome name. You should also watch the following very 80's music video...it may just convince you.

My sister's mother-in-law recently informed us that she spent the majority of her pregnancy in the bath(and I believe her, she is the kind of person who would sit in the bathtub sketching for 12 hours). If you can convince your family to serve your meals in there, why not while away the rest of your pregnancy in comfort?!?!

As if the monoline insurers don't have enough on their minds, they're now facing downgrade reviews from Moody's Investors Service on a slew of structured notes originated by top-tier Kazakh banks Bank TuranAlem (BTA) and Kazkommertsbank (KKB). The deals have underlying ratings at the investment grade cusp of Baa3,' making a potential cut especially painful.
Among the monolines with exposure are FGIC, Ambac and MBIA. One chunk of paper is also wrapped by a triple-A multilateral, the Asian Development Bank. And this doesn't include wraps provided by these and other insurers in the secondary and private markets for DPR transactions from BTA and KKB.
Including unwrapped deals, there's $950 million in notes from KKB and $750 million from BTA that are publicly affected. The originators have told Moody's that they intend to put in place "features which aim to reduce the linkage of the ratings of the notes" to each bank's ratings. A Moody's analyst didn't return a call for comment by press time.
Sources seasoned in the field of future flows said the likely route in tinkering with the structure will involve early amortization triggers along the lines of those present in Kazakh DPR deals and Russian future flows from originators that were lower rated than KKB and BTA. Apart from tightening the existing triggers on debt service coverage ratios for their DPR transaction, the originators could decide to introduce a trigger that would be tripped if the agency cut the local currency ratings of the underlying issuers below a certain level.
The review on the structured deals came after Moody's cut BTA's long-term local currency deposit rating to Ba1' from Baa3,' and KKB's to Ba1' from Baa2.' One example of an early amortization trigger based on the rating of the issuer is found in a $350 million, five-year DPR deal for Russia's MDM Bank. Arranged by Dresdner Kleinwort, the transaction will amortize early if Moody's cuts MDM's long-term deposit rating to Ba2' or lower from Ba1' currently.
"In Russia [this approach] has worked well, since the country is investment grade and the underlying ratings of the banks are not," said a market source familiar with the Russian situation. He added that these rating-based triggers earned a bad name when an economic crisis in Turkey during 2001 forced DPR transactions to amortize early, even though the underlying assets were performing adequately.
"They're unconnected to the performance of the deals," he added, at the same time acknowledging they may be the best way for BTA and KKB to avert fears that their deals could live out the rest of their days in the land of sub-investment grade.
In the Kazakh future flow universe, DPR transactions from ATF Bank and Alliance Bank have traditionally featured stricter triggers on their debt service coverage ratios than comparable deals from KKB and BTA, according to a market source. This was a reflection of ATF's and Alliance's lower underlying ratings.
Now, with the downgrades on KKB and BTA, their future flow structures might end up looking like those of their peers.
While Moody's review has effectively pushed these Kazakh banks to reconsider their future flow structures, Standard & Poor's has held firm on its Kazakh future flow ratings. The agency hasn't made any statements on the matter since early last month, when it issued a release saying that the underlying/unwrapped ratings on BTA's and KKB's DPR deals would remain the same in light of a downgrade for the sovereign.
The agency reduced the rating of Republic of Kazakhstan, a casualty of the global credit crisis, to BBB-' from BBB' on Oct. 8.
BTA kept its BBB-' rating for DPR trades, and KKB kept its BBB,' because "none of the local currency ratings on the underlying borrowers or bank survivability assessments are affected by the sovereign downgrade," S&P said.
According to a presentation by Fitch Ratings, foreign borrowings accounted for 48% of funding for Kazakh banks at the end of the first half of the year. All these issuers have seen their overseas lending costs leap over the past few months.

hi Lady Hawke thanks for passing on Lemon's message – I was able to read it as I got caught up yesterday by skipping about 300 pages
When I refresh it stays at the bottom of the page, but when I post it goes to the top of the page it posts on
I am amazed by how many of us have Plantar Faciitus, are we the Brotherhood and Sisterhood of Feet Pain?
Mistic Willow – in my humble opinion Steel Magnolias is one of the worst and most boring moview ever made, but that may be because I'm of the male persuasion.
first on a new page yea
I vote for Dirty Dancing and then Ghost. Patrick is sooooo nice on the eyes.
I hope you are feeling better soon. BBL
Hi Free Elf nice avatar, good to see you again.
How about them Cowboys, huh?
I think the bad feet thing has to do with age and the type of shoes we wore when we were much younger.
"Earth" shoes
"Go-Go" Boots
Cheap tennis shoes
Cheap rubber flip-flops
Sandals with tire treads for soles or made from water buffalo hide
Do any of those look familiar? At some point wore each of them except the last one.
The only style that had even a little support was the "earth" shoes and they stretched the achilles tendon to the point of pain. ;)
Nostalgia! ;)
Deanie mine was the cheap tennis shoes, but for school & church I had what were supposed to be top flight shoes, they were expensive enough that they should have been anyway. I did the soft pillow thing this morning – foot hurts, but I think that is because it actually stretched the tendon & ligaments out a bit, felt good doing it.
going to try everyone else's tips tonight and tomarrow
Sirius I can not believe you said that about Steel Magnolias. Here I was thinking you were sensative. Lol
Actually this movie is a true story based on book written by the brother of the daughter who died. (Julia Roberts Character) Like all movies, they change things but it is still basically true. No matter how many times I watch it, I still cry and laugh at the same time. Such a tear jerker.
Good morning!
:) bbl
Sirius and Deanie, here's another plantar faciitis tip: take a 20 ounce soda bottle (they're usually sturdier than the ones used for bottled water), fill it with water and put it in the freezer. Roll it under each foot in turns. It ices the foot and stretch/massages the arch—better than a can of veggies in my opinion.
Sirius: "are we the Brotherhood and Sisterhood of Feet Pain?"
Or maybe "The Hall of Lame"? hehe, sorry, couldn't resist.
Sirius, Those cowboys are tied 4-2 with the Redskins. We have more division wins though. I am still sore at the Skins' last minute lost to the Rams. I had a rough time after that game.The Cowboys have Jessica S to cheer them on so I guess they are doing fine.
Cool G sorry to blow your image of me and while I am sensitive, and did know it was a true story – as I read a good hunk of the book, the movie just did not make it for me – WAY to much chit chat and not enough story
Miss Hagrid thanks for the tip, lol (Hall of Lame)
LemonFaerie – I'm heeeerreee where are you? he he he
we'll see if that formating works
it did – it did
Free Elf even Jessica ain't gonna take care of the misery the next 2 to 4 weeks are going to be for us Cowboy fans. don't worry the skins will be ahead of them soon I HATE to say
Miss Hagrid, I like "Hall of Lame". ;)
Thanks, Lunaluu!
How is everyone? My Geog presentation went great, apparently I must have spent a lot of 'time' and 'effort' on it. Yeah yeah.. Damn statistics.
eh, what's up Doc, congrats on the presentation
I'm mostly ok, right foot hurts, left foot is sore, and you?
Hiya Sirius! Thanks, I think I worked hard on it. I'm good thanks, sorry to hear about the feet. Bad feet is a tradition in my family.. It missed our generation though. XD
hey*Doc* thank God and your lucky stars for that.
We need Madame Minerva to get Madame Pomfrey's cure for us
Sirius Yeah.. I say sneak into Madam Pomfrey's office and steal that little box of remedies she has. Under lock and key, she said. Oh yeah..
Wish upon a wishing star..
I see that there's a new poll (about the Beedle the Bard book)—but it didn't seem to be working quite yet when last checked it.
Yay new poll! checks
We're sorry, but something went wrong. Ok, never mind..
argg! new poll doesn't work! (it will be a race to see who gets the first comment as we are all sitting here waiting for it to work…:)
yes lunalou it will be
What will you guys vote for on the new poll?
probably Dec 4th – if I can afford it – otherwise whenever I can afford it, if a copy is available
ya, i want to go to a midnight party if there is one…
i haven't been to one yet. I was going to go to DH release party but my ride ended up not having enough room in their car, i was so upset….so hopefully they will have one for this.
I would love for there to be a midnight party. I didn't get to go to one for DH because I don't have a way of getting out of town and Walmart didn't do a midnight release.
how come no one commented on so many of the old polls?

Spoon River Valley Scenic Drive
Fulton County offers unusual beauty of the colors throughout the Spoon River Valley, which inspired founders to hold the first Fall Festival and to organize the Spoon River Valley Scenic Drive. The first weekend of the Scenic Drive brought large crowds and a second consecutive weekend was held in October 1968. The Scenic Drive's Fall Festival has since been held each year during the first two full weekends of October. Fulton County's Spoon River Valley country offers much to the visitor during the Fall Festival and during other seasons of the year. While there are many attractions a visitor may find interesting, a few highlights may include the lone dam on the Spoon River at Bernadotte, a public boat dock at London Mills, the historical Ellisville Opera House, and the breathtaking scenery along the entire route of the Spoon River. Foods have become a tradition during the Fall Festival such as apple butter made before your eyes at London Mills, baked potatoes and hot cider at Farmington, chicken and noodles at Smithfield's Red Brick School, funnel cakes in Lewistown, baked goods in Duncan Mills and the famed ham in Ellisville. Visitors to the area are welcome to join us on the highways and byways of Fulton County which sport the colors of the four seasons and are open to visitors year around with routes running through London Mills, Farmington, Fairview, Ellisville, Smithfield, Cuba, Canton, Avon, Lewistown, Bernadotte, Duncan Mills, Waterford Township, Ipava and Astoria. These routes cover more than 100 miles in Fulton County.

Habitat for Humanity International Responds to String of Church Burnings
June 11, 1996 - Habitat for Humanity International (HFHI) and the National Council of Churches (NCC) are joining together to assist in the rebuilding of churches which have been damaged or destroyed by fire over the last 18 months. Habitat for Humanity, a leading home builder throughout the world, will aid the rebuilding efforts by coordinating volunteers to work on the rebuilding project.
Habitat for Humanity has already been part of the rebuilding effort in Alabama through its Alabama Association of Habitat for Humanity, which has coordinated volunteers who are helping to rebuild three of the five churches that were burned in that state.
HFHI will gather the names of people with construction experience who are willing to participate in the church rebuilding program and coordinate with the NCC as to where people are most needed. If people are interested at this time, they can contact 1-800 HABITAT or email@example.com [1].
The NCC is the preeminent expression in the United States of the movement for Christian unity. Comprising 33 Protestant and Orthodox member denominations, including most of the nation's historically African American denominations, the NCC has a total constituency of 52 million. From its formation in 1950, the NCC has spoken and acted consistently and forcefully for racial justice and civil rights. They also are involved in international disaster relief; refugee assistance and development aid, educational and worship resources for congregations, Bible translations and efforts that bring people of faith together to address poverty.
Habitat for Humanity International is a nonprofit, ecumenical Christian housing ministry. Habitat works in partnership with people in need throughout the world building simple, decent shelter that is sold to them at no profit, through no-interest loans. Funds, building materials and labor are donated by individuals, churches, corporations and other organizations who share our goal of eliminating substandard housing in the world. Founded in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller, Habitat is headquartered in Americus, GA.

The Stories We Tell Ourselves (and Others)
wearing our health on our sleeves, legs, wrists…
October 7, 2013 – Digit #10
News flash: hints of California are starting to pop up in the daily culture of New York with, gasp, stretch yoga (or other athletic pursuits) pants appearing as streetwear. So proclaimed the New York Times in its Fashion & Style pages describing how "New York finally dresses down."
Meanwhile in the rest of America, yoga pants and high-viz cycling or running shirts have been go-everywhere wear for some time. A little blazer or cashmere sweater and you're good to go for just about any social outing.
What's behind the trend? Obviously, comfort. But the breakthrough element is the status of health, vitality, and our desire to make our athletic lives …well, high-viz.
Two-thirds of Americans now see good health and fitness as an important sign of success. [DYG SCAN 2013]
Our clothes tell our story so we don't have to.
At least not in words.
Americans see health and fitness as the first point of personal control and a sign that we're on top of our lives:
71% say that "it's important to do whatever is necessary to stay fit and healthy" … and 66% say "my health is in my control." [DYG SCAN 2013]
You may be wondering how all this squares with the runaway obesity problem across the country. It's yet another sign of the great divides in our culture – what we say and what we do, the sharply tiered economy, the fit and the not so… all feeding into what we value, what we aspire to, and what is success and status now. Stay tuned for our just-fielded SCAN data on all these interesting dualities for marketers.
Business Implications: As consumers tell the stories of their in-control, active lives, it opens new opportunities for brands to become everyday badges of our new idea of success. Of course, there's the Fuelband or Up band peeking out from Italian dress shirts or Lululemon yoga pants at dinner… but what about cars and other categories? How can your brand help tell the stories we want to tell about ourselves?

St. Viator's Ore Arogundade drives towards the hoop during their game against Loyola Academy in the Catholic League/East Suburban Catholic Challenge on Saturday, December 15, 2012, in Wilmette, IL. | Chandler West~For Sun-Times Media
Ore Arogundade is doubly blessed, graced with the physical tools at 6-3 and long to dominate on a basketball court though also heady and self-aware about the game he loves playing.
"Most games are won or lost even before you step on the court, and my attitude is I want to dominate all phases of the game, but also I want to be there for my teammates, the younger guys, show them how to play and what to do out there," he said.
The St. Viator junior swingman has been a catalyst for the Lions' impressive 7-1 start averaging 15.1 points, nine rebunds, three assists and two steals a game. Just as important, he delivers in crucial moments. Last Friday he scored 12 of his team-high 18 points in the second half in the Lions' comeback victory over Marist and scored seven of his team-best 18 points in the fourth quarter in St. Viator's victory over Loyola.
For his accomplishments, Arogundade is the Chicago Sun-Times' Athlete of the Week.
Arogundade was elevated to the varsity at the end of his freshman year, and he has been a fixture there. "He's so versatile," St. Viator coach Mike Howland said. "He makes plays on both the offensive and defensive ends. He's a two-guard who leads in rebounding.
"He loves the big stage, as you saw over the weekend. He's worked very hard to become a leader."
Arogundade is a difficult match up because he is too big for most guards and too quick for many small forwards. Difficult to contain in the open floor, he has worked hard at developing his midrange game. "I think my strengths are scoring and rebounding," he said.
He is also the emotional leader of a talented though very young team with two other emerging young talents, sophomores Patrick McNamara and Mark Falotico. Arogundade is the lynchpin.
His name and reputation is quickly expanding. He has received scholarship offers from MAC programs NIU and Toledo and has also drawn interest from DePaul, Wichita State, Troy and other programs. His primary interest is elevating the profile of St. Viator.
The Arlington Park-native had his choice of schools though he went with the Lions "because of the community-based activism and support, and also it's a top-notch education," he said.
Arogundade is preparing for the Wheeling's Hardwood Classic, where the Lions open with Libertyville on Dec. 26. The Lions are one of the top seeds in a competitive field with No. 10 Notre Dame and No. 20 and defending tournament champion Naperville Central.
The Lions are also in the thick of a brutally competitive East Suburban Catholic Conference race.
"We've had a great start, but we play in a great conference, one of the best in the state, and we're going to play a lot of great teams, and we want to be at the top, so I have to be even more aggressive in how I play the game," he said.

The same movie with the same characters, cast and crew as I am Curious (Yellow), but with some different scenes and a different political slant. The political focus in Blue is personal relationships, religion, prisons and sex. Blue omits much of the class consciousness and non-violence interviews of the first version. Yellow and Blue are the colors of the Swedish flag.

We all know that Minot
is changing and with every change, some businesses may need to adjust their
stores to better serve their community.
"The Minot
we've known and loved for the last 25 years is changing," said Ralph
Towery, Area Director at Marketplace Foods.
With the growth in the area, that invites some new faces.
"We've got more people coming in from the larger cities and stuff like
that. So, we haven't had a lot of concern, but we do have some concern,"
said Towery.
With that being said, Towery decided one of the factors to ensure safety in all
of his grocery stores, is to no longer be open 24 hours a day, seven days a
"We just felt it would be better closing at midnight. Giving our crew time
to focus on getting from truck onto the shelf. And, then re-opening with better
store conditions for the next day," said Towery.
In addition to the changes of shopping hours, they're also installing security
cameras and brighter lights for the parking lots.
They're also close to opening another Marketplace on North Hill, which will be
their fifth store in Minot.
"Currently we're on task to open in June, that's what we're shooting for.
And, we'll find a way to make it happen," said Towery.
Although Minot
is changing, Towery said his staff is excited about all of the new projects
going on in their stores.
The original Marketplace will open at 5:00 a.m. and will close at midnight. The
other locations will open at 6:00 a.m.

After the Denver Nuggets got out to a 58-53 half-time lead in Oklahoma City, the Thunder, in particular SF Kevin Durant and PG Russell Westbrook, responded in the third quarter.
The two combined for 24 of Oklahoma City's 30 points in the third:
Denver, meanwhile, was able to keep pace with Oklahoma City's offensive explosion, which included a 12-0 run to start the half, thanks to a late run from their second unit that tied the score at 83.
PG Andre Miller turned back the clock with one of his best efforts of the year, with 17 points on 7-12 shooting and 7 assists so far.
The game has been played at the Nuggets pace, as both teams have been racing the ball up the court, combining for enough highlights to fill up the entire Top 10 on Sportscenter.
But as the fourth quarter begins, the question will be whether the Thunder try to slow the tempo and use their superior half-court scoring to put away Denver at home.

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) - A funeral is how Dante Newsome's family is saying goodbye to 2012. The 20-year-old's family already marked Christmas Eve with his murder. Newsome's family is just one of many Louisville families now left with only pictures of their loved ones. The year is winding to a close with a murder rate higher than the past four years. Sixty-nine people lost their lives at the hands of someone else in 2012. "What's going on that you have to kill somebody, that you're not valuing life?" asked Revondia Beason. "What's going on that you can't give somebody a chance to live?" Beason's cousin, Andre Ballard, 43, said she's had enough. Ballard was killed on November 20. Police said Ballard was an innocent father leaving work who was robbed, shot and killed. "It's scary for me as a mother to have my children to go anywhere," said Beason.
She knows how similar her cousin's death is to so many of the other killings. Louisville Metro Police said four out of every five murders in 2012 were committed with a gun. Ballard's killers are also some of the many still running free. Twenty-nine of Louisville's murders from 2012 are still unsolved. "I'm mad because I do want somebody to come forward," Beason said. She added that she knows someone out there has information about her cousin's murder, but they won't speak up. "What do you do when these people can't talk?" she said. "They're afraid." Beason said fixing that problem is up to every single person who lives in the city. "There needs to be something that, 'Hey, if you come help us out, we're going to make sure you're safe,'" Beason said. "Tomorrow it could be your mother, your brother, your uncle, your cousin. Help us out so the same thing won't happen to you."
