When Michael and Sari Oppenheim heard about "Blessings in a Backpack," a non-profit organization that aims to meet the nutritional needs of underprivileged children and their families, they decided to get their friends involved and carry the tradition in Miami.
The siblings, along with their friends from Ransom Everglades School in Coconut Grove, showed their holiday spirit and kicked off their fourth school year in the program by delivering backpacks of food to 400 students at Francis S. Tucker Elementary School earlier this month.
"We figured Tucker Elementary was the perfect place because they are only a few blocks away," said Oppenheim, 19. "We felt that it was a school that needed it and we wanted to be there to help."
Blessings in a Backpack provides elementary schools, such as Tucker, where nearly all students qualify for free and reduced-price meals, with backpacks filled with non-perishable foods such as granola bars, apple sauce, soups and more to take home for 38 weekends throughout the school year. The program, which started with just two schools in 2005, currently feeds more than 63,000 students in 45 states.
When Ransom Everglades students decided to help Tucker Elementary in March 2011, they became the first school in Miami-Dade County to "adopt a school" through the national program.
Annette DeGoti, principal of Tucker Elementary, is thankful for the program and talked about the significance of it.
"Every Friday, they take home backpacks so that they have something to eat during the weekend," said DeGoti, who is in her sixth year as principal. "I feel as if now all of my children have something nutritional to eat throughout the weekend, and we are blessed to have this every Friday."
The Oppenheim family came together with two other families – the Deutch and Schatz families – and along with the help of fundraisers and donations, they were able to raise enough money to support the program, which costs about $32,000 per school year.
Jennifer Deutch, 18, talked about how she and her brother Matthew, 16, got involved in the beginning.
"Funding was the biggest challenge, but we received a lot of support," said Deutch, who graduated from Ransom Everglades this year and is a freshman at Vanderbilt University. "We were inspired by our school's mission of giving back to those in need, and we felt that this was a great place and a great way to impact the community."
Mia Schatz, 14, along with her two siblings – Ryan and Marlee – feel that the emotional involvement is what makes the entire process worthwhile.
"Seeing all of their faces once they get their backpacks is my favorite part," said Mia, current student at Ransom Everglades. "I go home for the holidays and I have a lot of food but knowing that some people don't reminds me of how important it is to help out."
According to the families involved, the most significant aspect of programs like these is that they bring awareness and inspire others to do the same.

WASHINGTON, DC - DECEMBER 31: U.S. President Barack Obama delivers remarks about the fiscal cliff negotiations in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House December 31, 2012 in Washington, DC. Obama said he was hopeful that an agreement could be found to avert the fiscal cliff in Congress, which is closing in on a deal that would raise taxes on households that make more than $450,000 a year and individuals who make more than $400,000.

The Lakers welcomed Pau Gasol back to their starting lineup Tuesday night, shifted Metta World Peace to a backup role and inserted Devin Ebanks in his place as they attempted to win their third consecutive game against the visiting Charlotte Bobcats.
Coach Mike D'Antoni's tinkering didn't work as planned.
So, Kobe Bryant did what he normally does when things go wrong for the Lakers, taking them by the hands and leading them down a bumpy trail to a 101-100 come-from-behind victory over the Bobcats in front of an anxious sellout crowd of 18,997.
The Lakers won their third in a row and the Bobcats lost their 12th consecutive game. The new-look Lakers led by as many as 11 points in the second quarter, trailed by as many as 18 in the third and then rallied behind Bryant in the final period.
Bryant scored 30 points, including 10 in the fourth quarter, to lead the Lakers (12-14). His driving layup gave them a 99-97 lead with 1 minute, 26 seconds remaining. Then he swished a jump shot from the perimeter to make it 101-97 with 52.2 seconds left.
Ramon Sessions, a former Lakers point guard, countered with a three-point play for Charlotte that cut the Lakers' lead to 101-100 with 47.9 seconds remaining.
Bryant missed a jumper from the wing at the other end, and the Bobcats had one more shot at the lead.
Charlotte's Kemba Walker, Gerald Henderson and Byron Mullens each missed point-blank attempts in the closing seconds and - somehow, some way - the Lakers held on to win and improve their all-time record to 8-8 against the troublesome Bobcats.
"I'm trying to figure out who can play off the bench and who can't and what I like," D'Antoni said. "The bottom line is we've won three in a row, we've got two great practices coming up (Thursday and Friday) and another game Saturday (against the Golden State Warriors in Oakland).
"We're there."
Lakers fans cheered Gasol's return from an eight-game layoff because of tendinitis in his knees. Then they booed just as passionately as Gasol and the Lakers fell behind by as many as 18 points in the third quarter after leading the Bobcats by as many as 11 in the second.
"They should," D'Antoni said of the booing from disgruntled Lakers fans. "Down 18 points to Charlotte at home, they should. I'd be booing, too."
After ending their four-game cross-country trip with victories Friday over the Washington Wizards and Sunday over the Philadelphia 76ers for their first winning streak under D'Antoni, the Lakers faced another struggling team in the Bobcats.
Gasol's return was supposed to make the Lakers a better and more complete team. But that's not likely to be fully realized until Steve Nash makes his comeback from a fractured lower left leg in the Lakers' second game of the season, Oct. 31 against the Portland Trail Blazers.
Nash said he hopes to play Christmas Day against the New York Knicks. He hasn't ruled out a return to the lineup Saturday against the Warriors, though.
Whenever he returns, the Lakers are likely to have a far different look than when he last played with them. Nash and Bryant will be together, of course. Gasol and Dwight Howard will be there, too.
World Peace might continue to play a reserve role, with Ebanks or Jodie Meeks starting, however.
D'Antoni likes the idea of having Gasol play center with the second unit, with World Peace shifting to power forward from small forward.
D'Antoni also said he has no concerns about playing Nash, Bryant and Meeks together, with Bryant serving as the small forward.
"I'm probably the one who's enjoying this process the most," Bryant said of D'Antoni's ever-changing rotation over the past few days and weeks. "I enjoy being focused about something and digging my heels in and figuring out the puzzle."
Rest assured, there were a number of seemingly random pieces of that puzzle as Tuesday's game developed. No question, Gasol made an impact with 10 points on 3-for-10 shooting, plus nine rebounds, five assists and four blocked shots in 29:25.
Meeks and World Peace added 17 points apiece in reserve roles as D'Antoni played only eight players. Dwight Howard scored 16 points and grabbed a team-leading 18 rebounds.
Walker scored 28 points for the Bobcats (7-17).

Today in history, May 3rd, 1933, James Brown, aka The Godfather of Soul, was born in South Carolina.
A film based on the life of the singer has long been in the works, though it's in limbo right now; Spike Lee has long been attached to direct, since it was initially announced about 4 years ago, with uber-producer, Brian Grazer overseeing the project.
Last we heard about the film (just last month actually), James Brown's daughter, Dr. Yamma Brown said that the family was considering Eddie Murphy, Chris Brown & Usher to star in the Godfather of Soul's biopic, which, as I recall, took a lot of you by surprise.
As I believe I've said before, I'd cast an unknown for the part. Also, when it comes to biopics, I'd much rather that they focus on some period of the man's life, as opposed to trying to squeeze his entire history into 2 hours.
Watch the clip below in which Dr. Yamma Brown reveals the above:

I would like to see Aries Spears from Madtv or Cuba Gooding Jr.!!!!
I recall the Madtv skits with Aries as JB junior, man I loved the guy!!!! He was spot on!!!!
JMac | May 3, 2011 6:23 AM
Wayne Brady doesn't have enough soul to play James. I'd rather see Eddie in a wig dancing around a hot tub.

Nadell | May 3, 2011 3:28 AM
The picture you have posted of James Brown, I caught a quick glimpse of Wayne Brady.
They should consider Wayne Brady. Anyone else agree??

The FBI and local police are asking for help identifying the man who robbed a Yardley Wells Fargo Bank on Friday.
Around 9:17 a.m. Friday morning, a masked and armed man went into the bank at 706 Stony Hill Road in Yardley and threatened a teller with a gun, FBI said. He demanded the teller fill bags with money from the teller drawer then ordered the employee to go to the vault for more.
Before the employee returned, the man left the bank in a white, mid-sized vehicle on Stony Road toward Heacock Road, reports say.
The suspect is described as white, 6 feet 2 inches tall and weighing 240 pounds, He was wearing a gray sweat suit with the hood covering his head, a black ski mask, and light green latex gloves, according to the Philadelphia division of the FBI.

Whoa, suds out the yin-yang here. Almost as bad as La Fin Du Monde. No lacing as of yet.
Smells like ferminting pears in the back yard. An alcohol aroma is very strong here with a cleaning product smell.
Taste is a little weird but I can taste soured apple peels and caramel.
The dirty aftertaste bring this beer down a few notches for me.
Arcadia has better offerings.

Pours a yellow-orange color into my SN Celebration pint with a tiny, sparse white head that falls instantly to a ring around the top of the beer. Bah. Nose has a light caramel graininess along with a peppery spicy, herbal hop as well. Nothing that really excites me here...
First sip starts out with a nice mix of pale graininess and hints of caramel. The spicy, herbal hoppiness is well placed and brings a nice wave of bitterness over the palate. A good English Pale Ale...however it just doesn't do enough to excite me.
Mouthfeel has a medium body with a slight creamy aspect. Fits the style well and is enjoyable. This brew is definetly easy to drink..however it lacks anything special to bring me back.

Second sampling from an Arcadia sampler box, this one is even more overcarbonated than the Amber Ale. First pour is 90% foam. Settling reveals a yellow gold body, slightly hazy, with an enormous beige head that retains well. Sticky patch lacing is considerable and the head is rocky with pits.
Aroma is mostly spicy hops, with some vague fruitiness and a hint of biscuit.
Mouthfeel is medium bodied and very overcarbonated.
Taste is overwhelmed by the carbonation. Spicy hops, mild pine, and a hint of apple skin. Very little malt character, just a hint of toasted biscuit. A note of soap suds.
The carbonation overwhelms here. Very disappointing.

12 ouncer sampled, label gives a "purchase before" month, but what year? Upper label lists the malts and hops used, a nice touch. Pours a medium amber with a washed out orange hue. Nose is soft malt. Bready, middle of the road Brit style balanced ale. Chalky dryness late. Worthy, if unexciting, sessioner.

Over-the-top head. Literally over the top if not careful with the pour. Creamy smooth light beige initially five inches deep in pint glass from a mere third of the bottle. Still three inches deep after five minutes. Slowly falls to reveal a nice pattern of lace.
Light golden copper shade with a slight chill haze.
Strong hop nose. Spicy almost pepper like fragrance with a background that reminded me of pine.
Pleasing mouthfeel with a nice level of carbonation once the head subsides. Toasty malt sweetness followed by strong hop bitterness and throat warming alcohol. Hops remain on tongue for several minutes.

A - Pours a warm golden color with a finger's worth of fizzy head that dissipates to a thin film after about a minute, leaving some lacing.
S - Not a whole lot of hops going on, but it is a little citrusy, but what I'm picking up is mostly funky sour. Not much aroma to speak of, even.
T - There's that weird, unpleasant sour... but now it's in my mouth! Faint hops in the back, but it's such a weird, funky flavor. Almost reminds me of Magic Hat #9, which I cannot stand. Maybe it's past expiration?
M - Prickly carbonation, it's a very excited beer for being a pale ale.
O - Since this is from a brewery that has put out some other decent beers, I'm inclined to give them the BOTD and say it might have been past expiration or somesuch, but I probably won't ever get this one again.

Got this as a sample from a beer rep for the new restaurant.
This came out of the bottle almost opaque but with a nice looking foamy head which stuck around until the final drop.
Somewhat misleading when you taste the beer which comes off lighter but balanced. Not much on the nose.
Right to edge of the tounge with welcome caramel flavor.
Carbonation is consistent from tongue to throat. Enjoyable going down the pipes.
On the take home scale I'd buy a six pack of this beer.

Transparent darker amber appearance, head is bright and almost white in color, decently frothy. Laces nicely, rings and lots of fat dots on the glass. Aroma of orange blossoms, hinting at hop influence. Mouthfeel is heftier than light, subdued carbonation gives it some added weight. Overall taste comes out as malty, caramel and some of the butterscotch that influences Arcadia IPA too much (better tolerated here, in my opinion). Hops are nicely evident but definitely Old World UK style -- flowery and bubblegum slick. Drinkable with some refreshing peach qualities going on here and not so jarring as the buttery IPA from the same brewer to my mind.

Appears a clouded copper amber hue with a few welcomed floaties from the bottle coniditioning forms a nice off white ample head leaves behind full bands of even lacing. Aroma has a dominant grass and floral hop combo with toasted malts brings out a touch of fruitiness, nice English pale with American hops. Taste has a low sweetness malts have a biscuit bready tone with more of the spoken fruit character, but the pronounced hop bitterness caters to the palate with earthy, leafty, and grassy hop flavors. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with more natural creamy carbonatino characteristic of bottle conditioned ales. Drinkability another fine beer from Arcadia could grab a variety of their brews and head down to one of my favorite fishing holes and sip on some Angler's Ale all afternoon.

A nice light orange color body supports an assertive (maybe a mispour?) white foam head with some unusually large bubbles. Smell manages to be flowery and earthy at the same time. The first thing that strikes me about the taste is the malt profile, it could be because i've been drinking Eisenbahn's Pale Ale in Brasil for the last 3 months which is super flowery and citric and i haven't adjusted to our pale ales yet. But malt is definately what i first notice. A light (I emphasize light) citrus taste rounds out the flavor. Mouthfeel and drinkability are both ok, nothing special and nothing bad. An ok pale ale by my book.

Arcadia- Angler's Ale
Appearance- Ruddy orange brown with a small head after a hard pour.
Smell- Yellow cake batter. Butter, Vanilla, caramel, egg creme.
Taste- Very sweet malt. Creamy vanilla, caramel, butter, and yellow cake batter taste.
Mouthfeel- Sweet!! Sugary and slighty cloying.
Overall- A tasty beer but the sweetness limits this to a 2-3 beer max!

A - Medium orange and slightly cloudy with a billowing four finger head. Head retention is amazing, and lots of really nice lace is stuck in huge clumps all over the glass.
S - Funky fruit notes.... peach, apricot, and a slightly sour mustiness behind all that.
T - Eww. This is not good. Sour rotten fruit and chemical notes make this almost a drain pour. Almost.
M - Light bodied, sour, and dry.
D - No thank you! Hopefully this was a bad bottle, but it doesn't really have that noticeable skunked aroma and flavor. Not good.

Arcadia's Angler's Ale pours the typical copper colored body and creamy yellowed tan head that you'd expect of an English pale ale. If you hold the glass to the side you can see tiny bubbles sliding steadily upwards. The short head is creamy and holds fairly well, leaving behind spots and splashes as it goes.
Fairly bold floral and grassy hops greet you in the nose over a solidly caramelish base. Very nice!
In the mouth it's medium-light in body and smooth with a delicate tingle on the tongue.
The flavor is as the nose suggests with the addition of a little bit of yeasty fruitiness (pears, apples). It starts with floral and grassy hops, warms to reveal its fruitiness and sweet caramel malts, and then becomes more herbal and leafy at the swallow. Bitterness is kept in check, and given the amount of rich malt present, it can seem almost sweetish at times. Hops linger in the mouth for quite some time, backed by traces of malt and a moderate, clinging bitterness. Nicely done!!!

Despite its use of Pacific Northwest hops, Arcadia Angler's Ale is advertised as a pale ale brewed in the British Tradition. And after having a few of these I'd have to agree with the company line and to disagree with its APA style category here on Beer Advocate. This pale ale leans more to the English style rather than the American style.
A - Poured a hazy amber with a coarse, half inch head that dissipated quickly. I had hoped that this beer would have clarified upon standing for a few minutes, but this was not the case.
S - Pleasant and lightly hopped. Underlying note of a sweet malt character, slight note of grapefruit, and mild hop aroma.
T - The initial taste reminded me of a lager-style beer, but then the pale ale bitterness asserted itself. Although not nearly as bitter or floral as a typical APA. Overall taste is fairly malty with a nice flavor of caramel and toasted malts.
M - Crisp and sharp at the front with a dry finish. Good balance.
D - Drinkability is very good. I could easily have several of these.

This one comes courtesy of BARLEYWINEO, cheers! BBD of Jan ??, not sure what year, tastes fine, so I'll say 08
Pours amber with loads of carbonation (resounding whoosh when I opened this) & 4+ fingers of sand/tan colored fluffed up to crazy heights head. Above average lacing & below average head retention
S: Caramel sweetness & a whisper of lemon hops
T: Caramel sweetness in a big way, plus some grapefruit hops up front. I get toffee notes & more grapefruit, plus dryness as this warms. Finishes with a slight iron/metallic hop falvor, more dryness & a little booze & grapefruit at the back of the throat
MF: Medium-bodied with moderate carbonation. This one skews a little malty & chewy/syrupy
Drank good, could drink 3-4 without getting too bored or excited. Hopheads may find it a bit tame

12 oz. bottle from an Arcadia sampler pack poured into a pint glass. Like the other beers from the pack this one also is pretty average, nothing too exciting.
Pours a clear copper with a good sized head. It smells of mild hops, malt and caramel. I'm really having trouble putting the taste into words but it reminds me alot of Bass Pale Ale but more tart. I'm not sure why this is categorized as an American Pale Ale, it seems much more along the lines on an English Pale Ale (it even says it is brewed in the English style on the label). The mouthfeel is thick and creamy, again, similar to Bass. Overall, not bad but not great.

Neighbors in one part of downtown Raleigh say late night noise and commotion during the weekends has not gotten better even after Raleigh Police began increasing patrols around Historic Glenwood Brooklyn.
They say the Sahara hookah bar on Peace Street attracts a drunk and rowdy late night crowd because it's open until at least 4 a.m. on weekends. Cat Hunter first told WNCN about the problem in May.
"Loud conversations, car doors slamming, music blaring, cars racing up and down the street," Hunter said, "literally racing up and down the street anywhere from midnight to 4 am."
Friday, Hunter updated us on the situation, saying last weekend was like "Mardi Gras." She says, once again, her family woke up unexpectedly at 3:30 in the morning from noise.
Earlier this year, after more than 30 911 calls, neighbors got the attention of Raleigh City Council.
"They don't have driveways. They park on the street, so the neighbors really need the parking spaces," Councilor Mary Ann Baldwin said.
Baldwin says there's now some possible solutions. Neighbors are now on board with installing new parking zones, she says. It would be a permit system that would limit street parking to residents only. The owner of the hookah bar says he's also trying to help by hiring an off-duty Raleigh police officer. Though Naser Shamma insists his restaurant is not the issue.
"Even if you, as a customer come here, you will see how quiet it is inside our property," Shamma said. "It's very hard to control people walking on the street."
Councilor Baldwin agrees, but says extra cops stationed during early morning hours couldn't hurt.
"It's a calming influence. People won't act up if they're leaving there," she said. "The second thing is it gives the police officers an opportunity to really assess what's happening in the neighborhood."
Baldwin says Raleigh City Council would need to vote on the parking permits.

Unlike @SBNB1G, we'll be able to tweet about Omaha more than once every thirty years— SEConSBN (@SEConSBN) June 12, 2013
Get updates from all of the SEC sites on the SB Nation network, and make fun of the Big 10, all on one account! Both the SEC and Big 10 accounts launched recently, and we're now in a battle to claim the most followers. Show your support!
The results of post-expansion negotiations on one front are in, and the league is netting no extra money from CBS. The only new thing form the extended deal is what we learned on May 2, that CBS's exclusivity window for the 3:30 pm ET time slot is no more. It makes sense when you think about it. CBS carries one game a week for all but the first two weeks, plus one doubleheader per year. Expanding the league doesn't matter much to a broadcaster that is only carrying one game per week. Plus with CBS paying around $4 million per game, it's hard to justify upping the rights fee based on merely putting more teams in the league when they don't have higher profiles than the existing premium teams.
We are now just 30 days away from National Signing Day, and Ky Cat Stats will be bringing to you a series of posts between now and then to get you ready for it.
We thought they were too nice. There are worse things to have said about you, I suppose. Go 'Dawgs!
At 5:10 p.m. Eastern, roughly two hours from now, I am scheduled to call in to John Frary's ESPN Radio show on 1420 AM out of St. Augustine. If you're in the area, tune in, and, otherwise, follow the above link to listen. Go 'Dawgs!
Connor Shaw can barely raise his throwing arm. Darn the SEC for abandoning the sacred tradition of letting Georgia play South Carolina early in the season! Go 'Dawgs!
Cheap shots at our mascot? Weak, lame, and really, really annoying. Go 'Dawgs!

- Councils
- The Virtual Longhouse
- Native American Advisory Council
Native American Advisory Council (NAAC)
A Native American Advisory Council (NAAC), composed of statewide native leaders, Willamette native alumni, and Willamette native students, was formed in May 2006 to advise Willamette on its work with and service to Native American communities. The council's membership includes Willamette University staff, faculty, and a Board of Trustees representative, and will meet annually during the weekend of Willamette's annual pow-wow in March. The Council has several goals:
- To guide Willamette in becoming an effective resource and forum for Indian Country
- To develop a consciousness among the broader Willamette community of the University's origins as an Indian mission school and its opportunity and responsibility to partner with tribal communities
- To use the collective resources of the NAAC members to build a network for Indian Country that will be facilitated by/centered at Willamette
- To provide mentorship for Native high school- and college-age youth and contribute to the recruitment and retention of Native students at Willamette
The Native American Advisory Council has three working groups: a Native American Alumni and Student Working Group; the Chemawa Indian School-Willamette University Partnership Program Working Group, and the Indian Country Conversations-Longhouse Working Group.

Ordered this grill cover for my son-in-law for his birthday. It arrived quickly. Color was true Yankee blue. Product made of high quality vinyl and fit the Weber grill perfectly. Would definitely recommend.
This product is a good heavy material and will last a long time, I do know they make two different covers a light one and this good heavy one which will last a long time.
A huge hit with the man of the family! Very nice addition to the patio. Functional yet stylish!
Any NY Yankee fan would love to see this in their yard. The color and logo is great was very surprised ...BBQ stays clean and dry even in very bad weather. The velcro straps help in case of high winds. I would recommend this to everyone.
I was very happy with our new gril cover. It was better than expected. I would definately recommend this grill cover .
Very pleased. Better quality than expected. The lining was a surprise. Alomost fleece like. The Yankee emblem really stands out and is on both sides. The velcro straps are a piece of cake to secure the cover.

1. OLB Clay Matthews: Even though he had a relatively quiet night in the stats department against the Bears (three tackles, two QB hits), his three-sack efforts in each of Green Bay's first two games are more than enough to keep him as the team's top MVP candidate this early in the season. The Bears effectively slowed him down with extra blockers.
2. QB Aaron Rodgers: Rodgers was excellent for the most part matched up against Jay Cutler in Week Three, his two penalties and interception notwithstanding. He completed 34-of-45 passes for 316 yards and a TD (92.5 passer rating) and further endeared himself to his fantasy-football owners with a TD run for the second straight week.
3. TE Jermichael Finley: With apologies to Greg Jennings and Donald Driver, Finley certainly seems to have emerged as the Packers' top receiving weapon after his second strong performance in a row. He caught all nine of the passes thrown to him by Rodgers for 115 yards, including a long of 28. Finley also had a TD catch negated by a Mark Tauscher holding penalty.
4. C Mike Wells: Wells has been rock-solid in the middle of the Packers' offensive line, which despite its shaky effort against the Bears is looking much better than it looked at the same time a year ago. Wells was the only Packers offensive lineman in Week Three not to draw a flag and has been assignment-correct much more often than not so far this season.
5. WR-RS Jordy Nelson: Nelson continues to make valuable contributions both as a kickoff returner (averaging just under 20 yards on five returns vs. Chicago, including a long of 40) and a receiver (three catches for 20 yards vs. Bears).

UCLA first fielded a football team in 1919. The bruins found their first great success under head coach Red Sanders, who led the team to a national title in 1954, 3 conference championships and an incredible record of 66-19-1. The 1980's and 1990's also saw great success for UCLA under coach Terry Donahue, going to 13 bowl games and winning 8 bowls in a row. Some of the football greats to wear the True Blue and Gold include Troy Aikman, Marcedes Lewis, Jimmy Johnson, Carnell Lake, and Ken Norton Jr., just to name a few. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for UCLA Bruins football tickets.
Under new head coach Jim Mora, the UCLA Bruins improved by three wins in 2012. This is significant because it was the first time the Bruins won at least nine games since 2005. Mora knows more work needs to be done, evident by the three straight losses to end the season including in the Pac-12 Championship game. Star running back Johnathan Franklin has moved on to the NFL, but UCLA returns quarterback Brett Hundley. The sophomore impressed the college world during his freshman campaign by throwing for 3,740 yards and 29 touchdowns. He also added 355 yards on the ground with nine touchdowns and has already catapulted himself as one of the top signal callers in the country. The Bruins will need to replace Franklin, but UCLA has playmakers on the outside in Shaq Evans and Jordan Payton that will be able to stretch the field and give Hundley someone to throw to.
Mora's squad is aiming for another chance at a PAC-12 championship and the season begins with an early showdown at Nebraska in week 2 of their schedule. The Bruins will also travel to Stanford, Oregon, and rival USC with Nevada, Washington, and Arizona coming to Pasadena.
Check out our UCLA Bruins Season Preview History page for previews of previous Bruins seasons.
The UCLA Bruins play their home games at the beautiful and historic Rose Bowl Stadium in Pasadena, California. The stadium holds over 91,000 fans for Bruins games and even more for the Tournament of Roses Parade and for the yearly Rose Bowl game. Watching a UCLA game at the Rose Bowl is one of the quintessential college football experiences a fan can have. The UCLA Bruins home bench is on the Rose Bowl Stadium sideline with sections 1-9. Rose Bowl Stadium parking information is covered in our Bruins event guide.
USC Trojans
A rivalry that divides one of the biggest cities in the country, USC and UCLA are only 10 miles apart geographically but are on two opposite sides of the spectrum when it comes to everything else. The winner of the crosstown game gets to claim the Victory Bell and many times the games puts the winner into the Rose Bowl (which is also UCLA's home field).
Despite the vacancy in the BCS National Title department, fans support the powder blue and gold relentlessly. The Bruins have seen their share of bowl game appearances and have amassed about a half dozen wins in those appearances. They won five Pac 10 conferences before it become the Pac 12 in 2012. Ticketcity offers tickets to all college football bowl games and the Pac 12 Championship Game.

Super Vision International Inc.
, a world leader in LED and fiber-optic lighting, announced that Teddy Van Bemmel has been promoted to worldwide director of sales, and that it has hired Carlo A. Mione to take over as director of sales for its sign division.
Van Bemmel previously served as vice president of sales at Hubbell Entertainment Group. Previous to Hubbell, he served as sales executive for a number of lighting companies including Vanco Lighting Services, where he was co-founder and CEO.
"We are glad to have Teddy move up to take leadership of our sales efforts. Teddy brings a great deal of knowledge, maturity, and experience to the relationships with our distributors and sales representatives that will improve their ability to market our products," states Brett Kingstone, CEO of Super Vision.
"I am glad to be in a position where I can utilize my experience and talents to improve Super Vision's relationships with its distributors and speed our ability to respond to their needs," commented Teddy Van Bemmel. "Our goal is great service along with our great products." Among his goals is improving response time to all agents and adding sales reps and distributors to fill gaps in the product distribution in local, national, and international markets. "The sales opportunities for our LED and fiber-optic products remains unlimited, we just need to make sure that more people are educated on the advantages of our energy saving sign and lighting products."
Mione previously served as a founding partner and senior vice president of marketing for DuraLed Lighting Technologies in Irvine, CA, a manufacturer of LED lighting systems in the sign industry. Mione served previously with several nationally known restaurant chains including Sonic, Sambos, and Del Taco over the past 30 years.
"I became convinced that Super Vision had the best product and the best solution for replacing neon in the sign industry. After seeing its products at its booth at the last International Sign Association show in Las Vegas, I decided to do more than just walk across the aisle and visit, I decided to join the team," states Mione. Kingstone says, "Carlo has been well known in the industry for developing sales and applications of LED technologies to major restaurant and national store chain accounts. He brings a tremendous amount of experience and industry contacts to our sales team."
Super Vision's LED product line serves as an energy-efficient, low-maintenance, and safe alternative to high-voltage neon systems. The average neon system requires 15,000V crossing the transformer, while the Super Vision FlexLED system only uses 12V transformers and requires less than one-third the time for installation by sign manufacturers. Neon is also rated among the top causes of restaurant, retail store, and hotel fires in the United States. The dramatic reduction in energy and maintenance costs are also a big advantage to end users in the commercial building field from restaurants to shopping malls. Mione's responsibility will be to lead Super Vision's sales efforts to sign manufacturers nationwide.

It took two tries, but I'm hooked on the music of the Fruit Bats on their cd The Ruminant Band. I hear touches of Neil Young and country rock "Waiting on a Friend" era Rolling Stones accompanied by a prog rock-voiced lead singer.
I was thinking that I should mention something about what the songs are about, but I realize I have no idea. I mostly listen to music while I'm doing something else so it's the music that affects me more than the words.
Check it out, maybe twice. It grows on you.

We are drinkers so we sampled many of their offerings. Each evening we would meet at The Pit Stop bar next to the Casino. Eugene from St. Lucia was awesome with his service. For you beer drinkers, I recommend the 20 ounce draft beer for $4.25 a glass. Twelve ounce bottles are the same price so you are getting a much better value with the draft. There were no beer bucket specials on this sailing.
Entertainment was pretty typical. The comedians were excellent. We passed on the Royal singers and dancers. Now for the islands. This cruise is port intensive visiting five ports in addition to San Juan. See my review of each port below.The final day of our cruise was a sea day and the weather was glorious. Sister-in-law won $1000, and brother in law $400. I wasn't luck this cruise except that everything was relaxing and filled with fun and adventure. Can't wait to book our next cruise!
A word of advice: Pack your liquor in your checked luggage, you can't carry it on the plane unless you buy it at the airport duty free shops. Also, make sure you go through the USDA inspection before you try to check in with your airline.

Town Square
Rise of committees divides Palo Alto council
Original post made on May 3, 2013
Read the full story here Web Link posted Friday, May 3, 2013, 9:26 AM
on May 3, 2013 at 10:01 am
So many issues here.
One issue that seems to jump out at us is the lack of procedure involving Council matters that seem to often enshroud City of Palo Alto business. For instance"Mayor" Greg Schraff says that "it's time to begin negotiations on the Cubberley Center." Really? Why?
We know that we have to renew the Cubberley lease, or not renew the lease, or do something else. Sowho's role is it to put together the lease documents, and start negotiationsthe lessee, or the property owner? Most people would agree that that role should be the property owner's responsibility. But hereGreg Scharff seems to be charging into the closed doors of a secret Council session without having a lease proposal on the table. Why?
Why, in this day and age, shouldn't there be a simple checklist of activities that need to be completed in order to bring business to the Council? And why shouldn't the City Manager be the person responsible for creating this checklist, and insuring that it is properly executed for every matter brought before the Council?
Greg Scharff increasingly seems to see Palo Alto City Government as his personal toynot an institution with rules, and "processes". The City Manager seems to be almost invisible in this situation. Why? Isn't he being paid enough (at $240K/year plus a lavish pension and other benefits) to do the job he should be doing?
At the very minimum, the School District, as property owner, needs to put a new lease on the table for the public to review. Some sort of public hearing should then be scheduled, and then, and only then, should there be any closed sessions about the matter.
If the City Manager is not going to do his jobwhat good is he?
on May 3, 2013 at 10:44 am
It is not the managers job to set council procedures. council actually sets it themselves. there is a link to the procedures right on the website. Keene is deficient in many respects, but this one is not his fault. Keene is invisible here because he is smart enough to know his role. I agree with you that the mayor on the other hand, seems to not clearly understand the ceremonial nature of the role of mayor.
on May 3, 2013 at 10:47 am
Isn't this article a violation of the Brown Act? In effect there is a "serial meeting" via every member of the council debating issues with each other with the reporter serving as an intermediary.

Alabama's top judge says the court system is in trouble. Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore says Governor Robert Bentley has not recommended enough funding for the court system.
Jefferson County Commissioner Joe Knight, who is the liaison with county courts, is concerned.
"We have committed as a county with some of the supplements to the bailiffs in order to keep the courts up and running on a full schedule," Knight said.
Jefferson County Commissioners are looking at giving county courts $350,000 to cover part of the cost of court security. The state legislature passed a bill to raise fines and court costs to raise an estimated $25 million to give state and county courts, but so far the money has not come in to the estimated level. Alabama lawmakers don't know where they will get the money.
"Where is the money going to come from? This state is flat broke. We've done bond issues. We've played with money. We tried to get money from heaven. The money is not there. The state is broke," Representative John Rogers said.
Coming up with the money won't be easy. Representative Mary Moore says the state should reconsider giving tax breaks to companies to lure them to Alabama.
"They have given away the whole hen house. The gave away the hen. They are giving away the rooster. They wonder why they don't have ownership of the eggs coming out?" Moore said.
Knight says the money has to be found.
"If not we are going to back up services and back up services and back up services. The courts accessibility is paramount to citizens. People deserve their day in court," Knight said.
Moore said without additional funds there will be even more court layoffs.

I've noted some discussion of late on the Facebook "If you grew up in Anderson" site about the so-called "coffin house" in Park Place.
The house is diagonally across from where I live, directly east of what was then the Park Place United Methodist Church, now Second Chance Baptist. During the second half of the 20th century it was adorned with a green-colored coffin-shaped contraption at its peak that made for some pretty tall tales around the city.
One story had it that the owner wanted to ensure he would not be buried beneath the ground and instead had his remains placed atop his home. Some believed the place was haunted.
At any rate it became quite a conversation piece. People would drive past just to take a look at it. That kept the stories alive as well.
I watched it come down a decade or two ago when the roof was replaced, and there was absolutely nothing inside. Turned out it had an entirely different purpose.
The name J.J. Toops graced the original front steps. Herb Toops, who I understand grew up in that house, was a tinsmith. My earliest memories of the house do not include the coffin, and I'm told he fabricated the thing in his shop, so I imagine he installed it there himself during those years.
It seems the box's purpose was to cool the home in the hot Anderson summers. It was a homemade ventilation system, and apparently there was a huge fan on the upper floor that pulled air through the box to provide a cooling effect.
The Sylvester family lived there during our early years. They looked into removing it but discovered it involved a major reconstruction project.
Eventually, after the Sylvesters moved out, it was apparent a re-roofing would be necessary. The "coffin" was dismantled during that time.
So don't come by the house expecting to see a coffin on the roof. It isn't there anymore. That bit of Park Place legend is now confined to the history bin and revived only in our memories.
Innovation, however, has replaced quite a few such novelties that may actually have been ahead of their time. Most homes nowadays have air conditioning of some degree, lots of times whole-house. And today's heating systems achieve top efficiency in taking care of the winter months, making the old coal-fired systems of yesteryear nothing but another string of recollections.
Our home, on the other hand, would be difficult to cool completely with a single AC unit. But its construction, with 10-foot ceilings on the main floor, keeps us comfortable during most of the summer except for the hottest days.
But don't expect us to experiment with anything on the order of a coffin on the roof. We'll stick with what we have.
- In last week's column, the final score of the 1951 Attucks-Anderson game should have been 81-80. My bad.

Travelers who are planning a trip to Salt Lake City, Utah, next month may want to stop by the University of Utah Library. There, vacationers will be able to experience a unique exhibit called "'These Are My People!' The Story of Aristides de Sousa Mendes."
Vacationers who check out the interesting exhibition will have the chance to learn the story of Aristides de Sousa Mendes, a Portuguese diplomat who helped 30,000 people escape World War II. The hero made a path from Spain to Portugal, allowing individuals to flee the country. The display showcases 20 beautiful photographs and guests will be able to view a number of fascinating records and texts as well.
Those who want to experience the brilliant display can do so until May 29. On May 1, Utah governor Gary R Herbert, Mendes' grandson and other officials will recognize the exhibit by celebrating Holocaust Commemoration Day.
The president of the United Jewish Federation of Utah, Martin Gelman, said that Aristides de Sousa Mendes is very important as he highlights how a single individual can make a huge difference on the lives of many.
