Fifteen weeks ago, I had the Patriots, Bills, Ravens, Texans, Chiefs and Chargers representing the AFC in this year's playoffs, and the Eagles, Giants, Saints, Packers, Bears and 49ers from the NFC. My fearless forecast saw the 49ers knocking off the Packers in the NFC title game and the Chiefs beating the Patriots in the AFC, with the 49ers knocking out the Chiefs in the Super Bowl in New Orleans. Obviously, my Chiefs, Chargers, Bills, Eagles and Saints picks were real stinkers, but my other seven clubs are still very much alive, and after this past weekend, the future suddenly seems a lot clearer. Here's what I see, and I'd love to know what you all think, as well.
The AFC wild-card slots should come down to the Colts knocking off the Chiefs on Sunday and the winner of the Bengals at Steelers, which I believe will be Pittsburgh. The Ravens will back into the AFC North title and the fourth seed, and with the Broncos going back on their "Little Sisters of the Poor" tour after hammering the Ravens last Sunday, it looks like New England's loss to the 49ers will cost the Patriots a first-round bye.
In the NFC, the Seahawks' loss to the 49ers this Sunday will drop them into the cadre of current six-loss teams that includes the Vikings, Bears, Giants, Redskins and Cowboys. But looking at all their schedules, it appears to me the Redskins win the East and only Seattle and the Bears make it to 10-6 to claim the two wild-card spots. Based on the year I've had picking games, there are a lot of dangerous assumptions here, but assuming I've finally got the pulse of these teams, the playoffs should now be set.
Opening week would give us the Steelers at the Patriots and the Colts at the Ravens in the AFC, and the Bears at the Packers and the Seahawks at the Redskins in the NFC. It says here the Pats, Ravens, Packers and Redskins live to fight on and then things will get really interesting.
I expect the Texans to handle the Ravens and the Falcons to take care of the Redskins fairly easily, making the divisional-playoff marquee matchups New England at Denver and Green Bay at San Francisco, with both games having the ingredients to become instant classics. However, I have no doubt the 49ers and Patriots are the superior teams, but New England traveling to Denver does give me pause. Let's assume class wins out and we're left with New England at Houston and San Francisco at Atlanta in the conference title games.
I look for San Francisco and New England to have a little easier time in the conference championships than they did in the divisional playoffs and to give us the Super Bowl rematch we should all be hoping for after Week 15. Beyond that, I think I'm out far enough on the limb as it is, so I'll save my Super Bowl pick until we get there.
At its heart, Pro Football Weekly always has been a small family shop driven by commitment and love. Over the years we have lost four of the five people most responsible for our existence and whatever small measures of success we've ever realized: my dad, Art; my grandmother, Mrs. A.; Bob Drazkowski; and Joel Buchsbaum. On Friday, Dec. 14, we lost the last of the PFW pioneers, my dad's brother, Fred Arkush. Uncle Fred toiled in the circulation, distribution and administrative ends of the business in the late 1960s and early '70s, and again from 1986-98. After my dad died in 1979, Fred became a cross between a second father and nurturing big brother to me and I know that nothing I've accomplished in my life would have happened without him. More importantly, without Uncle Fred, PFW never could have survived the early '90s. Yet here we are and now our lives are a bit emptier and our hearts a bit heavier. It was his time and I believe he's in a better place now, but I struggle with the belief he never got the credit he was due.
My hope is that each of you who have ever received even a moment's enjoyment from PFW will join me in a good thought for him to comfort him on his journey home. He was a good man, a loving soul and he will be greatly missed.

Two New Jersey men sued the promoter in 2009, claiming it was illegal to tack on a $6 parking fee to each ticket at PNC Bank Arts Center when not all concertgoers drive. They also say Live Nation's "no-fee" promotion was deceptive.
Anyone who bought tickets online through Live Nation and Ticketmaster between 2003 and 2011 would be eligible. Live Nation estimates that amounts to about 363,000 people.
Under the settlement approved this week, Live Nation would admit no wrongdoing. A judge still needs to give final approval.
A Live Nation spokeswoman didn't immediately return a message seeking comment Tuesday.

An easy to put together salad. I find the artichoke marinade a bit bland and would add some dried herbs, minced garlic, and maybe a little bit of dijon mustard for extra flavor.

Baltimore County has approximately 58,000 potholes a year, but in bad weather, the number has gotten up to 85,000 in recent decades, the county reports.
Potholes form when water seeps below the surface of pavement, then when it freezes, the water expands and pushes up the asphalt, according to the State Highway Administration. When the precipitation thaws, the asphalt collapses into a hole, which becomes larger as traffic breaks the edges, the highway administration said.
Want to report a highway pothole? The State Highway Administration has established an online reporting system, and crews will respond within one business day, usually filling potholes during off-peak hours, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
Want to report a Baltimore County road pothole? Citizens can report potholes in Baltimore County, where public works crews will make repairs within 48 hours.
Ragina Cooper-Ravella, spokeswoman for the AAA Mid-Atlantic, told WBAL TV that potholes were the result of the "freezing-thawing cycle" after the recent winter storms. "Unfortunately, because of those conditions, we're seeing potholes pretty much everywhere."
Baltimore County says it uses a "cold mix" to fill potholes.
Tips for Driving Around PotholesWatch out for water. Thomas Kelly of Kelly's Body Shop in Cockeysville cautioned drivers that if they are seeing water on the road, it may be a pothole filled with water that should be avoided, WJZ reported.
Roll, don't brake. It's better not to brake but instead to roll through areas that have potholes, Cooper-Ravella said on WBAL TV.

To: AAF Members
From: Clark Rector Jr., Senior Vice President – Government Affairs
Re: Urgent Alert – Action Needed Now
The full U.S. Senate may vote as early as Monday, April 30, to authorize an advertising ban of up to two years for new prescription medicines and to allow the Food and Drug Administration to preapprove advertising before it airs. This is the most serious threat to advertising and commercial speech in many years.
Senator Pat Roberts, R-Kan., a former newspaper publisher and editor, will offer an amendment to strike these advertising provisions and allow the FDA, for the first time, to fine pharmaceutical advertisers for false or misleading claims.
It is very important that every member of the Senate hear from as many members of the advertising industry as possible in opposition to the advertising ban. Please call or e-mail both of your senators and ask them to support Senator Roberts' amendment. Pass this alert on to every member of your advertising federation and/or company and ask them to call as well.
The advertising ban is part of a drug safety bill co-sponsored by Senators Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., and Mike Enzi, R-Wyo. The Roberts amendment failed in committee by only one vote, 11 to 10. You can see that every vote is vitally important—therefore every call and e-mail is important.
If passed, these advertising provisions would set a horrible precedent for other products. What's next? Food not deemed "healthy enough," or cars with too low miles per gallon?
Talking points and a draft e-mail are included with this alert. Please take a few moments to contact your senators now and forward this alert to your colleagues.
Thank you for your prompt attention on this important matter. Please do not hesitate to call me at (800) 999-2231 if you have any comments or questions.

Texans DT Amobi Okoye, listed at 302 pounds last offseason, was down to 283 pounds this offseason. Head coach Gary Kubiak, speaking to Houston reporters at the end of the club's final minicamp, said that the club's offense told him that Okoye has " been tougher to handle." However, Kubiak noted that the 23-year-old Okoye "has to get through a long hot summer, and he can't get too small on us." Okoye, who is 6-foot-2, notched just 1½ sacks in 2009, but he showed much promise as an interior pass rusher earlier in his career. He'll again start next to Shaun Cody, a solid run stuffer, on the Texans' line. Rookie Earl Mitchell, who clocked a time of 4.79 seconds in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine, is likely to play immediately as a reserve as Houston tries to get more of a pass rush up the middle. At the final minicamp, Kubiak praised the 6-3, 300-pound Mitchell for his play in the offseason. "He's all about going to the ball and working hard," Kubiak said.

Rivet Buster II
Well I received the rivet buster yesterday and the end that compresses the rivet is busted. Couldn't see that in the picture because it was retracted in the housing. I guess I'll hang it on the side of the barn with the other old tools. First time I ever bid for anything on ebay and I was had. Glad it was only $27.00.
Always try the easiest thing first.
Brent, Sorry to hear your first eBay experience was a bummer. You have to read the descriptions very closely for hints of condition on item for sale. Plus always check the sellers feedback to see what good or bad experiences other buyers have had with the seller. I also learned the hard way but still buy things that are great deals or hard to find items.
Then came Bronson
Brent, if the description doesn't say it was damaged, send the seller a message saying you are not satisfied. he may give you a refund, if he won't, leave negative feedback. I have bought and sold a number of items on Ebay, and have always been able to work out any problems.
"The Constitution is not an instrument for the government
to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the
government lest it come to dominate our lives and interests." Patrick Henry
You might want to see if the rivit tool that valuebilt sells is the same brand as your new one as I think they still sell parts for them. T.J.

PAUSD blacked out original of Barb Mitchell 'strong-arming' memo
Original post made by Curious on Jul 13, 2013
The original version retains only the sender, the recipients (board president Dana Tom, Supt. Kevin Skelly, Assoc. Supt. Charles Young, and attorneys Chad Graff and Lenore Silverman), the date, and the subject line "Privileged and Confidential Attorney Client Correspondence".
See Web Link for a comparison of the redacted and unredacted versions. The redacted version is still available in a Dropbox account set up by the district for public records act requests (see Web Link, at page 84).
The blacked-out document is one of dozens of documents involving attorneys Chad Graff and Lenore Silverman that have been fully redacted by the school district prior to being produced in response to public records requests. Many of those documents were sent or received by Dana Tom, Barb Mitchell, and trustee Camille Townsend.
Graff and Silverman are lawyers from the law firm of Fagen Friedman and Fulfrost. Fagen Friedman and Fulfrost is also the law firm of Laurie Reynolds. Reynolds' presentation on the OCR matter in February was described by the Weekly at that time as "incorrect, misled the board and the public and engaged in pure obfuscation" (see Web Link). Reynolds does not appear in any of the recent correspondence released by the district.
The school board recently approved a $140,000 extension of PAUSD's contract for legal services with Fagen Friedman and Fulfrost. During the board's discussion, trustee Melissa Caswell asked why Mr. Graff was now working on the district's matters and Ms. Reynolds was no longer in evidence. Camille Townsend assured her that the switch was routine.
on Jul 13, 2013 at 3:25 pm
@Curious - Wishing us all a future of best practices. A future where your voice, input and research will not be called for. Meanwhile - Thank you.
on Jul 13, 2013 at 6:28 pm
That is really really interesting. Who does the redacting? Why would the school district think Barb Mitchell's ideas about the politics of OCR and the Senate and federal authority can be hidden from the public? Obviously Barb Mitchell thought it had been hidden away. Is it because she included some lawyers in the email? Does just copying a lawyer make it secret?
Wow, that is some really fishy stuff.
on Jul 13, 2013 at 9:20 pm
Everyday and every revelation makes the board, Skelly, Young, and the rest of the regime look worse and worse. Time for the blind-faith supporters to attack Curious, WCDBPA, the Daubers, the Weekly, and anything and anyone else to present the truth. You folks at 25 Churchill need to resign and demonstrate honor. You were publicly elected or publicly paid to serve the public in an open, transparent, and honest way.

Step aside ladies, it's time for the guys to smize.
"The male model idea has been around for five years," Tyra Banks told PEOPLE days after announcing that men will be competing alongside women on America's Next Top Model – a first in the show's history – for its upcoming 20th season.
And it wasn't an easy feat.

America's Next Top Model's clash of nations wrapped up Wednesday night, with Britain's Sophie Sumner and America's Laura LaFrate squaring off in the finale.
So, who did their country most proud? Read on to find out the winner.

Tyra Banks embraces her anglophilia on cycle 18 of America's Next Top Model, which will pit British contestants against Americans when it premieres Wednesday.
"This is a boxing match between two regions," says Banks. "It's interesting to see these them battle it out to get on top."
Sure, every season has a makeover episode that comes with the requisite tears and resistance. But this season, the girls will be forced outside the box with amped-up style overhauls.

The British are coming!
Tyra Banks's hit show America's Next Top Model returns to the CW for its 18th cycle on Feb. 29 with a brand new twist: seven young women will compete against seven favorite contestants from Britain's Next Top Model.
"This cycle will feature a variety of seasoned women from across the pond that will do whatever it takes to make it as a model in America," reads a press release for the show. "They will compete against not only each other but a group of aspiring American models. Emotions run high, the women are divided and the competition is intense as they vie for the grand prize."

America's Next Top Model crowned a winner Wednesday night in its all-stars cycle, but not before a shocking and largely unexplained disqualification of one of the final three contestants.
Lisa D'Amato, Allison Harvard, and Angelea Preston were battling for the crown, but after an unusual panel, the judges declared that Preston was disqualified – without saying exactly why – and that D'Amato and Harvard would square off for the title.
Eventually, D'Amato was named the winner, but the buzz around the Internet continued to focus on the nature of Preston's dismissal.

The judging panel of America's Next Top Model will soon be getting a new look – in the form of fashion publicist and reality TV veteran Kelly Cutrone.
Cutrone, who appeared on MTV's The Hills and starred in Bravo's Kell on Earth, will replace André Leon Talley for cycle 18 early next year.
"I am a huge fan of America's Next Top Model and have watched the show for years," says Cutrone, 45, who owns People's Revolution. "Having worked in various aspects of the fashion industry over the course of my career, I am excited for this new opportunity and hope to bring a different perspective to the show."

Isis King is a self-proclaimed Renaissance woman and America's Next Top Model's only transgender contestant. The cycle 11 vet wrote about returning to ANTM as one of 14 all stars and blogs exclusively for PEOPLE about cycle 17.
In this post, King sounds off about her new makeover, posing with a hotdog and being judged by Ashlee Simpson.
–Janet Mock
Hate it or love it episode two of ANTM: All-Stars was the infamous makeover episode, where our new looks coincided with our personal brands as celebrity models.
After consulting with branding expert Martin Lindstrom, we were each given a single word that described our brands: Bianca Golden got "candid," Bre Scullark nabbed "girlfriend," and Sheena Sakai earned "unexpected." My amazing word was "inspiration" which was fitting because I inspire to be the best at everything I do, and motivate others to do the same.

I walked into the mansion (which made the cycle 11 house look like an apartment in comparison) full of beautiful Top Models with intriguing personalities that matched.
Although I knew my complete transition (I had sex reassignment surgery in 2009) would be discussed as a refresher for those who haven't kept up with my story, I must admit I was a little taken aback by seeing my "pre-transition picture" featured in the premiere episode.

Isis King will definitely be tuning in to watch herself and her 13 competitors on America's Next Top Model's 17th cycle.
"Until I watch it I'll never know what people say behind closed doors!" says King, 25, who is returning to compete against other previous contestants. "I'm sure there will be some Twitter drama when the show airs – it will be very juicy!"
The multi-talented King, who calls herself a "Renaissance woman," says viewers can expect to see more of her own clothing designs on the show.
"My clothes are edgy, bold," says the Art Institute of Philadelphia grad. "Growing up, my favorite designer was Donatella Versace."

Take two!
For its 17th cycle, America's Next Top Model is giving 14 fan favorites from previous seasons a second chance at the title – including Isis King from season 11, the show's only transgender contestant.
Other familiar faces will include Bianca Golden from cycle 9, Angelea Preston from cycle 14, and Alexandria Everett from cycle 16 – surely making for a combustible season of drama.

text: Female Politicians in Movies Women in Power: Onscreen Female Politicians by Tara Block 9/23/12 2 Reactions 15 Shares Print 3 4 8 0 0 Tonight is the Emmy Awards, and the nominees include a number of fictional female politicians. Both Amy Poehler and Julie Bowen are nominated for their characters — Amy as Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation and Julie as Claire Dunphy on Modern Family — who campaigned for office last season. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is nominated for her role as US Vice President Selina Meyer on HBO's new show Veep. And nominees Julianne Moore and Kristen Wiig have both portrayed real-life politicians, with Julianne playing former vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in the made-for-TV film Game Change and Kristen's SNL skits as Congresswoman Michele Bachmann. These ladies are a part of the growing group of female politicians on TV and in films, a trend we're happy to see, especially this election year. Big-name actresses have been getting in on the political parts with Meryl Streep reigning the 2012 award season for her portrayal of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady and Sigourney Weaver playing a Hillary Clinton-inspired first lady turned secretary of state on USA's new show Political Animals. Over the years we've seen everything from serious dramas to lighthearted SNL skits feature women in political positions, and we say keep it coming! The more comfortable we as a country get seeing women as vice presidents and presidents on screen, the more likely it will become a reality. So before we find out which women win the Emmy vote, let's look back at the imagined and real female politicians on TV and in film over the years. Then let's put a woman in the White House for real! Claire Dunphy on Modern Family What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In the last season of Modern Family, competitive mom Claire Dunphy (played by Julie Bowen) hopes to become the local councilwoman. Unfortunately, even with her whole family in on the campaign, she loses the bid for city council. We would have voted for her! Photo copyright 2012 ABC, Inc. 1 / 18 Leslie Knope on Parks and Recreation What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Parks and Recreation's Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) leads the parks department of Pawnee, IN, but has dreams of someday running for elected office. And her dream is realized in the latest season of the show. Leslie puts everything into her campaign for city council, and we can't help but love her enthusiasm and optimism in the midst of political craziness. Photo courtesy of NBC 2 / 18 Tina Fey and Amy Poehler as Sarah Palin and Hillary Clinton on Saturday Night Live What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 SNL had one of its best political skits in the show's history when Tina Fey and Amy Poehler played vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin and presidential candidate hopeful Hillary Clinton, respectively, during 2008's election year. The two funny ladies played the real-life politicians to perfection, discussing the two sides of sexism during the campaign. Photo courtesy of NBC 3 / 18 Selina Meyer on Veep What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Julia Louis-Dreyfus plays Vice President of the United States Selina Meyer on HBO's new comedy Veep. From the first season, we can see that Selina is a strong lady who's not afraid to make the tough calls and hire some cutthroat staff members to get things done and put out fires. Photo courtesy of HBO 4 / 18 President Mackenzie Allen on Commander in Chief What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 On the short-lived ABC drama Commander in Chief, Geena Davis's character, Mackenzie Allen, goes from first female VP to first female president of the United States in the show's pilot when the president has an aneurysm. Photo copyright ABC, Inc. 6 / 18 President Diane Steen in Mafia! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In the 1998 Godfather spoof, Mafia!, Christina Applegate plays Diane, who becomes the president of the United States and is set on bringing about world peace. 6 / 18 President Leslie McCloud in Kisses For My President What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Wouldn't it have been great if 1964's Kisses For My President hadn't been fiction? The comedy stars Polly Bergen as Leslie McCloud, the first female US president, who must deal with her unhappy "first man" Thad McCloud (Fred MacMurray). 7 / 18 President Allison Taylor on 24 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Allison Taylor (Cherry Jones) serves as US president in seasons seven and eight of Fox's political thriller 24. Cherry described the character as being an idealized president with similar opinions to Barack Obama. 8 / 18 Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Meryl Streep had a great 2012 award season thanks to her portrayal of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher in The Iron Lady. She may have been controversial for her accomplishments, but Margaret did pave the way for women in high political positions as the first and only (so far) female British prime minister. Photo courtesy of The Weinstein Co. 9 / 18 Madame President in Project Moonbase What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ernestine Barrier played Madame President in 1953 science-fiction film Project Moonbase, which imagined that in the future year of 1970 in the US, we would be building on Mars and have a female president. Not quite! 11 / 18 Tracy Enid Flick in Election What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When it comes to females running for candidacy, is there anyone more ruthless and determined than Reese Witherspoon's character Tracy Enid Flick in the 1999 comedy Election? Probably not. Overachieving senior Tracy battles it out with her teacher Jim McAllister (Matthew Broderick) during the student body elections in which she's running for class president. 11 / 18 President Caroline Reynolds on Prison Break What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Vice President turned President Caroline Reynolds (Patricia Wettig) gives us an example of a villainous world leader in the crime drama Prison Break. Caroline is willing to do anything, including murder, to make her way to the top. 12 / 18 Vice President Kathryn Bennett in Air Force One What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In 1997's Air Force One, Glenn Close plays Kathryn Bennett, the vice president to President James Marshall (Harrison Ford). 13 / 18 Senator Laine Hanson in The Contender What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When the VP suddenly dies, Senator Laine Hanson (Joan Allen) is in the running for his replacement in the 2000 film The Contender; there's just that pesky alleged drunk orgy photo to deal with first. 14 / 18 Julianne Moore as Sarah Palin in Game Change What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Julianne Moore took on the former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin in the miniseries Game Change. Her version of the former vice presidential candidate gives Tina Fey's some competition! Photo courtesy of HBO 15 / 18 Mel Burke on Melissa & Joey What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 In the ABC Family comedy Melissa & Joey, Mel Burke (Melissa Joan Hart) is a councilwoman who takes in her niece and nephew and hires Joe Longo (Joey Lawrence) as her "manny." Photo copyright 2012 ABC, Inc. 16 / 18 Kristen Wiig as Michele Bachmann on Saturday Night Live What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 On the last two seasons of SNL, Kristen Wiig hilariously portrayed Congresswoman — and former candidate for Republican presidential nominee — Michele Bachmann. Her parody of Michele included poking fun at her inability to blink and tendency to look into the wrong camera during TV appearances, among other things. 17 / 18 Elaine Barrish on Political Animals What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Sigourney Weaver stars in the new USA show Political Animals as Elaine Barrish, a recently divorced secretary of state (and former first lady and governor of Illinois). While the character is similar to Hillary Clinton, Sigourney has said, "It's very much about families who have been in the White House and the price they've paid for being in the White House, and the fact that families who have been in the White House often try to get back in the White House or continue to try and get in the White House, like the Romneys." 18 / 18 3 4 8 0 0 Back to Homepage Comments Read More Editor's PickPoliticsWomenEmmy AwardsTVMovies Emmy Awards The Most Gorgeous Hair and Makeup Looks From Emmys Past 42 minutes ago Stars Kick Off the Emmy Celebrations! 2 hours ago Let's Flashback to Who Wore What at Last Year's Emmy Awards 2 hours ago Fill Out Our 2014 Emmys Ballot For a Chance to Win $1,000! 2 hours ago Emmy Predictions: Our Picks For This Year's Winners 3 hours ago Watch the Emmys With POPSUGAR! 9 hours ago women WTF: Twerking Halloween Costumes? 23 hours ago These Disney Princesses Are Cooler Than You 1 day ago 7 Movies to Watch If You're Going Through a Quarter-Life Crisis 3 days ago Get Ready For Your Big Day With This Prewedding Playlist 4 days ago How Women Have Protested Through History 4 days ago 17 Awkward Things That Happen to Tall Girls 4 days ago Politics You Know You Want to See Sexy Joe Biden 2 weeks ago Americans Prefer Darth Vader Over Every Presidential Candidate 3 weeks ago Obama Reveals Who the US Believes Shot Down MH17 7/18 Nelson Mandela's Most Insightful Quotes 7/18 The Obamas' Patriotic Fourth of July Celebrations Over the Years 7/07 A Look Back at Presidential Getaways 7/06 Get a Personalized Living Newsletter!

WASHINGTON, June 11, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- NASA and the National Space Grant Foundation have selected five universities to design systems, concepts and technologies to enhance capabilities for deep space missions for the 2015 Exploration Habitat (X-Hab) Academic Innovation Challenge.
The selections are the first milestone in a yearlong design and development effort for these five projects. Throughout the 2014-2015 academic year, the teams must meet a series of milestones to design, manufacture, assemble and test their systems and concepts in close cooperation with members of the NASA Exploration Augmentation Module (EAM) concept team.
EAM is a new agencywide technology development concept managed by the Advanced Exploration Systems Division in NASA's Human Exploration and Operations Mission Directorate. The EAM will combine several capabilities into a prototype system to augment Orion's habitation and extra-vehicular activity capabilities for extended deep space missions.
"This is the fifth year of the X-Hab Academic Innovation Challenge, and we continue to be impressed by the innovative university proposals to advance capabilities for spaceflight," said Tracy Gill, NASA lead for the X-Hab Challenge. "We look forward to lending our experience to the teams, to learning from their fresh approaches and to guiding the efforts through the systems engineering process."
The challenge is a university-level participatory exploration effort designed to encourage studies in spaceflight-related disciplines. The challenge encourages multidisciplinary approaches and strengthens partnerships between NASA, academia and industry. This design challenge requires undergraduate students to explore NASA's work on development of deep space habitats while also helping the agency gather new ideas to complement its current research and development. NASA selected these five projects from among a group of proposals received in May.
The X-Hab Academic Innovation Challenge 2015 teams and projects are:
This challenge also contributes to the agency's efforts to train and develop a highly skilled scientific, engineering and technical workforce for the future.
The National Space Grant Foundation will administer the grants to the universities for NASA to fund design, development and evaluation of the systems by members of the NASA teams during the 2014-2015 academic year.

Officials from the Wendy's Corporation said they haven't formulated a plan to respond to the Affordable Care Act after a Wendy's franchisee in Nebraska announced that they would cut employees hours to avoid providing health care.
"We are still reviewing our approach to the Affordable Care Act, when the employer mandate goes into effect in 2014," said Wendy's Corporate Media Contact Bob Bertini of company-operated restaurants.
The company does not provide a breakdown of company and franchise restaurants, said Bertini. In the immediate area, however, the Wendy's Restaurants in Marlborough, Westborough and Southborough are all operated by Wendy's Corporate.
Gary Burdette, the Vice President of Operations for the franchise that covers 100 Wendy's in Nebraska, told WOWT Channel 6 in Omaha, Nebraska that all non-management employees hours will be cut to 28 hours a week to avoid providing health insurance under the Affordable Care Act. According to the information in the report, the cuts would affect roughly 100 employees.
This decision is by one franchisee in Nebraska, said Bertini.
"Our franchisees are independent business people, and they make the decisions regarding benefits for their restaurant teams," he said. "As small business employers, our franchisees are facing rising food and operating costs and many new government regulations."
Let us know what you think of the hourly cutbacks by this franchisee in the comments. Will it change your buying habits at your local Wendy's?

RAF men take 12-day challenge for charity
3:00pm Monday 17th December 2012 in News By Pete Hughes, Reporter covering Abingdon and Wantage, South Oxford and Kennington. Call me on 01865 425431
TWO airmen at RAF Brize Norton ran 12 miles for 12 days ahead of Christmas to help Great Ormond Street Hospital.
The total distance, 144 miles, is also the distance from the RAF base, at Carterton, to the specialist children's hospital in London and back.
Sergeant Spike McKee and Flight Sergeant Andy Gibson, both 42 and parents themselves, started their charity challenge on Monday, December 3.
They have been running on treadmills at the air base, where they could be seen by, and collect donations from their colleagues.
Father-of-two Sgt McKee recently came home from a six-month tour of duty in Pakistan.
He said: "I saw a lot of children living in poverty, and I realised what a great county Britain is and how well we look after our kids."
He spoke to Flt Sgt Gibson about ideas for how they could help raise some money themselves.
Sgt McKee lives with his wife and their daughters Honor, 17, and Sara, 12.
He said: "We're not spring chickens, our knees are a bit sore, we have got blisters on both feet but we hung in there."
They have already raised £750, but are hoping to collect at least £1,000, roughly enough to buy a wheelchair for a child at the hospital.
Father-of-three Flt Sgt Gibson said he wanted to do something for Christmas, but had not expected to be running 144 miles.
"I originally suggested running to Great Ormond Street, and then Spike said 'let's run there and back'," he said.
"The last three days were the worst, my legs are hurting a lot."
They had been running six miles in the morning and six in the afternoon, but last weekend they decided to do 12 miles in one go on both days.
Flt Sgt Gibson said: "It was the boredom that got to me."
To keep themselves entertained as they ran, Sgt McKee made playlists of his favourite music for the duo to listen and sing along to while they were running.
The playlist included some of his favourite music from his native Ireland, including songs by U2, and Irish folk songs.
Unfortunately for their colleagues, the runners were listening to the music out-of-synch with each other, and were singing along slightly out of time.
Flt Sgt Gibson added: "I think the staff were starting to get fed up with it."
They completed their challenge on Friday.
Great Ormond Street Hospital aims to raise £50m each year to treat children, buy vital equipment and fund research.
As well as taking donations as they ran, the two airmen are also accepting donations online.

Hardy cleared, hopes to play in opener
Shortstop goes five innings after getting OK from doctor
PHOENIX -- Brewers shortstop J.J. Hardy finally got his diagnosis. Then he finally got to play.Now, barring a setback, it appears Hardy will be healthy and ready to start on Opening Day. Hardy was diagnosed Tuesday with a bacterial infection by Dr. Carlton Richie and was cleared to play a Minor League game at Maryvale Baseball Park. He played five innings in the field and went 1-for-5 at the plate with a single and two strikeouts. By sending him to the Minors game, the Brewers reserved the right to backdate an assignment on the disabled list, though that appears unlikely at this point. "It will be touch and go," general manager Doug Melvin said. "But I think there is more of a chance of him being able to go." Hardy has not played in a Major League game since March 17, just before coming down with what the Brewers originally believed was a bout of the flu. But the illness lingered and Hardy lost 10 pounds, so he was sent for a battery of medical tests. Richie told Hardy that he had ruled out the two most serious potential diagnoses. "It was like a six-day thing that made me lose 10 pounds, but besides that I'm fine," Hardy joked. "I feel much better now." Manager Ned Yost said Hardy would play again on Wednesday in Minor Legaue camp, then could play in the big league game Thursday against the Cubs. After that game, the team is scheduled to travel to Milwaukee for a pair of weekend exhibitions against the Royals.

Competition Announced for Improving Students' Postsecondary and Job Outcomes
The Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) has announced a new competition in the Federal Register. The competition will select an organization to establish and operate a National Technical Assistance Center on Improving Transition to Postsecondary Education and Employment for Students with Disabilities. Because many students with disabilities continue to struggle in completing high school and gaining the knowledge and skills they need to succeed, OSERS and the Rehabilitation Services Administration (RSA) are collaborating to support this technical assistance center. The center will coordinate its expertise and resources and build capacity by implementing evidence-based practices and strategies in state education agencies (SEAs), local education agencies (LEAs), and vocational rehabilitation (VR) service agencies.
The Federal Register notice can be accessed at http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2014-07-02/pdf/2014-15437.pdf. This competition is open to SEAs, LEAs (including charter schools that are considered LEAs under state law), VR agencies, institutes of higher education (IHEs), other public agencies, private nonprofit organizations, outlying areas, freely associated states, Indian tribes or tribal organizations, and for-profit organizations. The Department intends to fund one project for $2.5 million a year for 5 years. The deadline for submitting completed applications is Monday, August 18, 2014.
