Core Funds, Accounts Slipped in 4th Quarter
Even though they invest conservatively, core funds and separate accounts are also taking their lumps in the market meltdown.
Many core funds posted double-digit declines during the disastrous fourth quarter, according to fund reports that have started reaching investors. Among them: Prudential Real Estate Investors' PRISA 2 fund (down 17.8%) and PRISA 1 fund (down 14.7%); ING Clarion Partners' Lion Properties Fund (down 15.8%) and Lion Industrial Trust (down 11.7%); BlackRock Realty Advisors' Granite Fund (down 16.8%); RREEF's RREEF America 2 (down 12.8%); and Cornerstone Real Estate Advisors' Patriot Fund (down 10.9%).
Separate accounts, which also pursue conservative investments, fared somewhat better, especially if they use little or no leverage.
Core funds by definition are the most conservative in the industry. They gravitate toward trophy assets and other high-end properties, and use significantly less leverage than value-added or opportunistic vehicles. As a result, their return targets - generally 6-8% - are much lower than those pursued by higher-risk funds.
Still, core vehicles couldn't escape the carnage of the fourth quarter, when the economy nosedived. All investors are being hurt by "significant weakening in underlying property fundamentals," one consultant noted.
To be sure, core vehicles are suffering much less than value-added and opportunistic funds, which have been battered by losses on high-risk investments such as condominium conversions, development projects and mezzanine loans. High-yield funds that invested heavily as the market was peaking in 2006 and 2007 typically had posted cumulative declines of 10-35% through the third quarter. Investors are bracing for heavy additional writedowns when the fourth-quarter numbers are released in the weeks ahead.
Nevertheless, core funds and separate accounts are also being dragged down. Most core separate accounts peg their returns to an index compiled by the National Council of Real Estate Investment Fiduciaries that posted an 11.7% annual gain over the past five years, but was down 8.3% in the fourth quarter and dropped 6.5% for all of last year.
Core separate accounts generally outperformed core funds in the fourth quarter. Market players cited a variety of reasons. For one thing, funds are more likely to use leverage, which magnifies losses in a declining market. Some players also think that funds are marking down property values more aggressively. Another factor, albeit minor, is that core funds often carry higher fees than separate accounts.
Two unleveraged separate accounts of the $18.3 billion Nevada Public Employees nearly broke even for the quarter. Those accounts are managed by BlackRock Realty (down 3%) and Invesco (down 2.4%). Four unleveraged separate accounts of the $29.3 billion Alaska Permanent Fund also had declines in the single digits. Those accounts are managed by L&B Realty Advisors (down 8.8%), CB Richard Ellis Investors (down 8.7%), Sentinel Real Estate (down 4.7%) and LaSalle Investment Management (down 4.5%).
Among separate accounts that employ leverage, five accounts of the $18.1 billion Iowa Public Employees posted a combined 10.5% decline. Those accounts, which average 30% leverage, are managed by ING Clarion, Invesco Real Estate, RREEF, TA Associates Realty and UBS Realty. And two accounts of the $4.4 billion Sacramento County Employees that use about 20% leverage also had double-digit declines. The account managers are BlackRock (down 15.8%) and Cornerstone (down 12.5%).
One exception to the trend was four separate accounts of the $29.1 billion Illinois Teachers that eked out gains in the quarter. Those accounts, which average 33% leverage, are managed by Cornerstone (up 3.2%), Invesco (up 1.7%), Commonwealth Realty Advisors (up 1.6%) and Capri Capital (up 1.1%).

IN THE THICK OF IT: (Opposite) Lawrence Kincheloe and Marcin Jakubowski pose inside the Rep Tab cutting
table. (This page) Kincheloe practices cutting with the plasma cutter tip on the Rep Tab.
Factor e Farm headquarters in rural Missouri.
Lawrence Kincheloe, who created the current
Rep Tab design, says his motivation to contribute to
the project was to "answer some serious questions
as to how to make a living doing open source work."
The team hopes that the current prototype will
lead to a design that can be successfully marketed to
the DIY community as an open source product or kit.
Photograph by Lawrence Kincheloe
"The hardest part," Kincheloe says, "is balancing
between keeping it as open as possible and still
making it viable and worthwhile to distribute and
Rep Tab can be built for $1,000, if you don't count
the laptop and plasma cutter. So, it's not the cheapest tool in your shop, but the team hopes that open
source collaboration will help bring the cost down,
as well as improve the overall design.
"I believe that's where community development
can really play a big part in making it possible for
everyone who wants to get one," says Kincheloe.
He envisions a time when the Rep Tab project
can incorporate RepRap components to create a
completely new concept that could work with many
different materials.
"The synergy between the two machines means
that each has the possibility to work with materials
the other isn't equipped to handle, and also hints
at the possibility of merging the functionality into a
table that can work with both metals and plastics,"
he enthuses. "At the moment, if you put a plasma
cutter onto a RepRap Darwin, it would likely melt
or cut through the table!"
Rep Tab is the latest in OSE's open source
hardware toolbox (see their Life Trac tractor in
MAKE, Volume 18). The group maintains a well-documented website and wiki for every project.
Makers are encouraged to join in the development
of Rep Tab at openfarmtech.org/weblog/?cat=214.

Kathleen Parker: Is Meghan McCain the GOP's answer to Rush Limbaugh?
The GOP's identity crisis just got more interesting with the recent media splash of Meghan McCain, eldest daughter of the senator who did not become president.
Young McCain, who began blogging during her father's presidential campaign, recently made waves at The Daily Beast when she picked a fight with conservative media mavens Ann Coulter and Laura Ingraham. This is enough sport to make the little dog laugh, to say nothing of the dish and the spoon.Reality, meet Parody.
McCain, just 24, is one smart cookie. In a matter of weeks, she has created a brand, presenting herself as a fresh face of her daddy's party and a voice for young conservatives. Strategically speaking, what better way to launch herself than to challenge the reigning diva herself, Miz Coulter?
Madonna, meet Britney.
Yeah, Meghan McCain would be the "voice for young conservatives" but only if those young conservatives sounded like empty Valley Girls whose big decision in life is which wrist tattoo to choose as you can read in this recent interview with Larry King.
KING: OK. You blogged earlier this month that you still were figuring out what tattoo to get to commemorate your time on the campaign trail.
Have you made a decision?
MCCAIN: I think I have. I think I'm going to get...That should be enough for Kat von D of LA Ink sign on as an enthusiastic Republican. Now back to the Kathleen Parker comedy act:
KING: Where are you leaning?
MCCAIN: I think I'm going to get McCain and Old English on my wrist, just to commemorate the whole experience, because I kept wanting to but I think I finally decided on what I want.
KING: Are you a tattooer?
MCCAIN: I have one. My brothers have a lot of tattoos. I love tattoos. I do. I know, you never would have thought me, right? But I do.
KING: No. You don't look like a tattooer.
MCCAIN: I do. I love tattoos.
KING: What do your folks think of that?
MCCAIN: I've got supportive parents, you know. They -- my mom thinks it's cute, the one I have so -- I have a little star on my foot.
Among criticism now familiar to anyone who has dared contradict or question the GOP's wisdom is that Meghan McCain is a "useful idiot" to liberals who will use her to further diminish Republicans. Or that she is poking her father's party just to draw attention to herself.Gee, ya think?
Well, if McCain doesn't make it in journalism, she has a future in marketing. She has learned, perhaps from a lifetime of observing political strategy, how and when to pick a fight. Trying to provoke Coulter (who so far has gamely ignored her) was shrewd. And engaging American women in solidarity against market-imposed body images was a stroke of genius.An absolute "genius" she is.
Yes, of course, a 24-year-old political pundette doesn't find her way onto "Larry King Live" without a famous name. McCain is interesting precisely because of who she is, not because of what she has accomplished. Liberals found young Ron Reagan equally riveting for the same reason.The same reason meaning slamming conservatives. Parker also discovered that the bash conservatives shtick could be quite a career booster. And if Meghan follows in the footsteps of Ron Reagan then she should get herself an Air America radio gig and endorse Barack Obama in the next election as Ron Reagan did last Halloween Day. Such is the requisite career path as set down by Kathleen Parker as she continues to gush over Republican "savior" Meghan:
On the other hand, McCain is also a successful blogger with a following. She has established a voice and an audience. And the GOP is, allegedly, hoping to expand its tent.
...The GOP's extreme voices are a turnoff, not just to young people, but to millions of Americans who might otherwise be attracted to conservative principles. Who better to point that out than a young maverick named McCain.Yeah, just what the GOP needs. A like totally Valley Girl voice to lead them out of the wilderness and into the valley of the...Valley Girls.
And keep us all updated on that like totally wrist tattoo, Meghan.

Well it's pretty simple folks. The NBA finals are upon us and it's not the fait accompli that ESPN would have had us believe...the cavaliers were exposed for what they were - Lebron with a bunch of guys who aren't as good as everyone wants us to believe (2001 sixers anyone? Does it make Allen better than Lebron that he got to the finals with a more mediocre bunch than Lebron missed out with? Of course not, does it make Lebron more likely to leave Cleveland? Sure it might, and that will be the top NBA story all summer long)
Make your picks, pick your winner, all you get is pride.

This blog is dedicated to detailing the fun times spent in Chicago as well as share all of the lessons I have learned with anyone who wants to listen!
It's a ridiculous hour and here I am writing a blog post. I'm awake because I can't sleep. I can't sleep because things are getting real. Things are getting real because the program has come to an end and people are packing up and going home. We were warned at the beginning at the program, but I didn't believe it. The program went by so quickly! I'm not really sure how to feel. I'm anxious to go back to my campus and share everything I have learned and to show others how I have grown as a result of this program. At the same time, I am sad to leave. This experience has changed me in ways I cannot explain, and I don't I will even comprehend the extent of this change until months after I return to my campus. I have this city to thank for many things and as corny as it sounds, I have memories I will carry with me forever. I appreciate everything that this city has shown me, show no regrets to anything I've done while I was here, and NEVER forget the friends I have made. I know that I did not update this blog on a regular basis, but to whoever is reading this, I want you to know that this program is completely worth it. Don't believe the hype about going overseas when there are programs like this in the US. I don't think programs like this get the recognition they deserve and its a shame.
I'm not sure if our program faculty will see this, but if you're reading this, THANK YOU.
As for myself, I'm on to the next phase, taking with me everything I have learned this semester.
Be well.
Open House Chicago 10.15.11
Southside Community Arts Center
Tuesday we visited the Academy for Global Citizenship on the West Side, where there are little kids are learning about sustainability. The entire operation is pretty incredible and throwing kids into the mix makes it that more amazing. Kindergarten to third graders learning to recycle, compost, and grow food is crazy. Little change agents in the making!
Today we visited the Growing Power HQ in Chicago. It sits between the Chicago River and an industrial park in Bridgeport. It is a converted abandoned trucking depot. They're take on social justice, in addition to growing food, is equal access to all. They employ and train people of lower income neighborhoods on urban farming. They also assist with community gardens in areas that have public housing. All around a beautiful operation. So sustainable, nothing goes to waste!
Can't wait to have a little garden of my own!
Haven't updated this in a while. Oops.
So much has happened since my last post that I can't remember everything. I'll start this up again starttttinnnngggg NOW.
ABCD = Asset Based Community Development.
Earlier this week, Jody Kretzmann, founder of the ACM Urban Studies program as well as co-director for the Asset Based Community Development Institute of Northwestern University. He acquainted us with the idea of asset mapping a neighborhood as well as this history of community organizations in the city. The practice is based on assisting a community grow starting with the resources/ capabilties that it already has. The idea is that the best way to help a community is to empower it first and the be cognizant that when trying to help people sometimes marginalize the community, and to be mindful of that.
**excuse the blur**
This past week went by veryyyyyy quickly. I would say the highlight was getting to meet/listen to Rahm Emmanuel, mayor of Chicago. He shook my hand!!!!! But anyway, we also were given the chance to listen to a lecture by Alderman Joe Moore of the 49th Ward. He explained the duties of an alderman as well of initiatives in his neighborhood of Roger's Park. One of the things that he said that stuck with me was that, "Government should not be run like a business." The neighborhood itself it beautiful. It is the most northern part of the city before you get to Evanston. It is said to be one of the more welcoming neighborhoods for artists and was called the Hyde Park of the northside.
Every Friday, we receive an email called the "Friday Memo" that tells us about whats going on in the city that weekend. There are soooooo many things to do, it's crazy. Today I decided to go to the Renegade Craft Fair. Unfortunately I didn't take any pictures, but it was pretty cool. It was in Wicker Park, on W. Division St. It was like a giant Etsy fair! Anything had crafted you could think of was there. That whole area is pretty cool and somewhere worth visiting, even without the fair.

Ben Roethlisberger will serve at least a four-game suspension to start the 2010 season if not longer. The decision to replace was expected to come down to Dennis Dixon and Byron Leftwich. According to Ed Bouchette of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, it's becoming clear who the leader of the Roethlisberger-less Steelers will be.
Dennis Dixon has not practiced with the first team and it has become obvious Byron Leftwich will open the season as the starting quarterback. With the return of Roethlisbeger this week, Dixon has gotten more snaps and was No. 2 Thursday, but Leftwich ran the first team since minicamp April 30 until Roethlisberger's arrival Tuesday.
Leftwich has more experience than Dixon so if it's just for the short-term, he probably makes the most sense. Even if Leftwich plays well, it's hard to think Roethlisberger won't be the starter upon his return.
For more on the Steelers, check out SB Nation's Behind The Steel Curtain.

STILLWATER, OK -- Oklahoma State University began a $1 billion fundraiser Friday and it got a big jumpstart from their favorite alum.
Billionaire oilman T. Boone Pickens made another huge donation to his alma mater -- $100 million.
OSU calls the fundraiser "Branding Success." It's an initiative to help fund scholarships, faculty and new buildings.
"You got a guy that loves the school more than anything and I'm very competitive and from time to time you catch me with money," said Pickens.
Pickens' gift brings the total already raised in the fundraising campaign to $537 million.
The money has four priorities. The majority of it, $500 million, will be used for scholarships. The rest will be split among the various programs at OSU, as well as the construction of new buildings, such as a new business building and performing arts center.
OSU President Burns Hargis says $200 million of it will go to faculty.
"Our faculty's compensation scales are such that to retain and attract top faculty, we need the money," said Hargis.
President Hargis says he's grateful to Boone Pickens for another multi-million donation, but he's quick to add the school needs all of its graduates to help with the campaign.
"It can't just be Boone Pickens, although a heck of a lot of it has been Boone Pickens. We can do this, even in this economy," said Hargis.
President Hargis says this is the perfect time for the campaign to begin. State funding now makes up only 25 percent of OSU's budget. He hopes others follow Pickens' lead and wants the world to know how much the 1951 graduate means in Cowboy country.
"We can't say thank you enough, but I'm going to try. Thank you, thank you, thank you Boone Pickens," said Hargis.
Pickens gift brings his total donations to Oklahoma State over the years to more than $500 million.

COMMENT: A chance to reflect on all fallen heroes
9:00am Saturday 15th February 2014 in News
THE parents of Lt Col Rupert Thorneloe are understandably proud that their son's distinguished war record will now be seen by the thousands of visitors attending Blenheim Palace's exhibition on the First World War.
But Mrs Thorneloe, head guide at the palace, has been quick to point out that although her son was the most high-ranking to die in recent years he was not the only one, or the most important.
Visitors will be able to reflect on the bravery of Lt Col Thorneloe and those who gave their lives in the Great War.

We are the authors of our own lives. The new chapters I have in mind are too wonderful not to be explored. No writer's block here.
I envelop this earth
through mind alone
a stone's throw away
from something
and not brave
simply different enough
to make one reflect
and turn inwards.
I envelop this earth
through heart alone
the light that shone in me
allowed me to see
much more than I'd need
to navigate its deepest seas.
Satisfied, but never pleased.
Hope to my side
and not on me
not once more on my knees.∞
There's the love that teaches you things, and then there's the love that changes you forever. There's the love that shines light into your darkest recesses and shows you that there are no monsters hiding in there after all. There's the love that embraces the coldest night just as firmly and passionately as it does the sunniest morning. The love that is full, complete, balanced and peacefully overwhelming.∞

Here is the information regarding the Concert this Friday, March 7th. We have been discussing this in class daily for several weeks. The orchestras will be performing as part of the entertainment for the PTO Dinner fundraiser.
6th and 7th graders need to be at the AHS Orchestra room by 4:30 PM to tune and warm-up. The concert begins at 5:00 in the AHS Auditorium and will end at 5:30 PM. Students will be able to leave as soon as they have helped clear the stage for the next performing group. I need the students to clear out of the orchestra room right away to make room for the next group. If you are going to eat dinner, please take your instruments and belongings with you. Do not leave them in the orchestra room.
The 8th Grade Orchestras will be performing in small groups in the cafeteria as dinner music. The idea is that they will be performing in the background as people eat their meals. This is an important "real world" experience as the primary function of small ensembles is to perform as background music - think of a quartet at a wedding reception or a group playing in the background for a fancy dinner.
The students have been divided into four ensembles. Please see the attachment for their group assignments. Groups 1 and 2 need to be in the AHS Orchestra room by 5:45 for tuning. Group 1 will perform from 6:00-6:15. Group 2 will perform from 6:15-6:30.
Groups 3 and 4 need to be in the AHS Orchestra room by 6:30 for tuning. Group 3 will perform from 6:30-6:45 and Group 4 will perform from 6:45-7:00PM.
Parents are of course invited to hear their children perform, but please realize that there will not be seats for a traditional audience to sit in. The students will be performing in the AHS Cafeteria surrounded by diners. Students may leave as soon as their ensemble is finished performing. All students should have a ride home by 7:00 PM.
If a student cannot get a ride to the AHS Orchestra room in time for their warm-up period because their parents are still at work, then they are welcome to walk over to the HS after school on Friday and hang out in the orchestra room. Mr. Burdett will be there to supervise. Please make sure that they bring their concert dress with them to school that day. All students need to be picked up by 7:00 PM at the latest.
The Harmon Orchestra room will be unlocked before and after the concert for parents/students to pick up and drop off instruments.
Here is the entertainment schedule for the night in case you wanted to see other groups perform:
5:00-5:30 - 6th and 7th grade orchestras in AHS auditorium
5:30-5:45 - Leighton Leaping stars in the gym
5:45-6:00 - 1st Grade Music Group 1 in AHS Auditorium
6:00-7:00 - 8th grade orchestras perform in small ensembles in the cafeteria as dinner music.
6:45-7:00 1st Grade Music Group 2 in AHS Auditorium
Information about the PTO dinner including how to purchase tickets is located on the school website. Dinner service is from 5:00-7:00 PM.

Josh Freeman has his issues. He's inconsistent and inaccurate, a little slow to get rid of the ball and struggles to throw with anticipation over the middle of the field. Those issues aren't caused by a poor offensive line, or receiver play: they're real, and he has to fix them. The inconsistent play has made a lot of Buccaneers fans frustrated and disappointed, and they're understandably looking for greener grass. But here's the truth: Josh Freeman is going nowhere, and he will be the Bucs quarterback in 2013 because he is far and away the best option.
I've gone over this several times, but I do think it needs to be reiterated: there are no quarterbacks better than Josh Freeman available on any open market. Not in the draft (and certainly not where the Bucs pick), not in free agency and not in trade. Why not? Because Freeman is better than a lot of starters in the NFL right now, and no team has two quality starting quarterbacks. There's a reason why Arizona has had four different starting quarterbacks this year, why the Jaguars are messing around with Chad Henne, why Alex Smith got benched for an inconsistent second-year quarterback who's not really doing better, why Carson Palmer, Christian Ponder, Philip Rivers, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Ryan Tannehill, Jake Locker, Jay Cutler, Brandon Weeden, Matt Cassel, Sam Bradford and Mark Sanchez all had starting jobs this season.
It's because finding quarterbacks isn't all that easy. And sure, you can argue that a few of those players are maybe better than Josh Freeman. Maybe. But Bucs fans haven't seen them play week-in, week-out, and they aren't emotionally invested in them. And yet, all of those quarterbacks lose their teams games, throw interceptions, and have a substantial portion of the fanbase clamoring for their heads. And then we haven't even talked about quarterbacks like Tony Romo and Eli Manning, who are clearly better than Josh Freeman, but still catch a lot of flak from their own fans.
But then, some people will point to some statistics. Josh Freeman has a low completion percentage! Yes, he does. Completion percentage is important, but it's hardly the be-all end-all of quarterback statistics. It is largely influenced by offensive system. After all, do you really think he's playing worse than last season, when he was completing 62% of his passes instead of this season's 55%? Josh Freeman lost the team a few games! He sure did, but he also won them a bunch of games. Against the Chiefs, Vikings, Raiders, Chargers, Panthers and Falcons. And he would have won them games against the Giants, Redskins, Saints, Falcons and Eagles had the defense held up their end of the bargain.
In fact, I can point to exactly three games that were lost because of Josh Freeman's poor play: against the Cowboys, against the Saints and against the Rams. I can find three games that were lost because of poor quarterback play for every sub-elite quarterback in the NFL, but that doesn't mean those teams need to go out and find competition and replace those quarterbacks. You can't get stuck in an eternal search for the mythical, elite quarterback who is just around the corner -- because the quarterback you have now is good enough, but you'd just like to have Tom Brady anyway.
So, bringing in 'competition' (by which most people seem to mean 'just replace him')? Finding a better quarterback who can start now? It's not going to happen. In fact, it is completely unrealistic. A draft class with not even a single quarterback ready to start immediately, free agency as devoid of quality quarterbacks as usual, and no quarterbacks anyone should want to trade Josh Freeman for. That's a recipe for dull, brown and muddy grass. The grass may not be perfect here, but it's certainly greener than the other side's turf.
No, Bucs fans. Josh Freeman will be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers starting quarterback in 2013. With a bit of progress, which he certainly showed this year, he will be the team's quarterback for many more years. He is far from a great quarterback. But he is certainly good enough to help the team win games.

Responses to Globe Boston column, Sunday, August 3, 2008August 13, 2008
Dear Yvonne,
I graduated from Regis in 1966, and came from a middle-class family, but many of my classmates were very like many of today's students that you describe. When my mother (Class of 1939) and my aunt (1946) graduated, they were VERY much like the students you describe, in all but ethnicity, with immigrant parents and first in their families etc.
I have always been proud of my association with Regis, and still am. As I say to many, I got a DAMN GOOD education there, and Regis women (and as of this year, men) have taken their place in public service, industry, education, medicine, you name it.
Anyway, thanks for the column, and here's hoping Weston wakes up and recognizes a good thing when they see it.
Eileen Gaquin Kelley, Regis '66
Yvonne Abraham's column in Sunday's Boston Globe gives clear focus to the merit of the proposed Regis East retirement community. Despite the challenging economy, Regis is committed to its mission of educating the non-traditional students who require far more academic and financial support than the typical college students. Regis East would allow the college to continue to offer educational opportunity to these students while at the same time providing the Regis East residents retirement living rich in educational, volunteer, wellness and professional opportunities. Historically, communities like Regis East are valuable assets to the towns in which they are built. In this case, the students, the college, the retirees and the town would all be beneficiaries. Weston should be proud of Regis East.

1. Scott Chandler, BUF vs. TEN
This is the week. We've powered up the Delorean, the Flux Capacitor is fluxing, and we're taking Scott Chandler back to September. He's going to break out of his ninth-month funk this week and score against the Titans. Tennessee, as we've highlighted several times this season, has allowed the most receptions, yards and touchdowns to tight ends in the league this year. If the Bills don't recognize and exploit this weakness, they've got more problems than Jay Z (who has 99).
2. Heath Miller, PIT at CIN
Sixty-two and a half. That's how many yards a player needs to gain in order to top 1,000 yards in a 16 game season. Most would say that a 1,000-yard season for a tight end is a huge accomplishment, while others (especially in the fantasy game) are dependent on their tight ends scoring each week. Here's how Heath Miller stacks up. Miller has scored or topped 62 yards in four of his five games this season. Cincinnati has not played the top flight group of tight ends this season, but have still allowed three touchdowns and two games of 70 or more yards to tight ends.
3. Aaron Hernandez, NE vs. NYJ
Here's why we like Aaron Hernandez. In the two games he's finished this season, he's caught six balls and scored a touchdown. He's topped 60 yards or scored in eight of his last nine games and he's received seven or more targets in a game in ten of his last 12 contests. We don't care that he's on the same field with Rob Gronkowski, Wes Welker and Brandon Lloyd. There's more than enough to go around. The Jets have been pretty solid against the pass, but in Week 5 they allowed tight end Owen Daniels to grab 79 yards and a score.
4. Martellus Bennett, NYG vs. WAS
If the Titans are the worst team in the league against the tight end, the Redskins are a close second and nipping at their heels. Washington has allowed the second-most receptions, yards and touchdowns to tight ends this season, and they face a good one this week in Martellus Bennett. While a bad knee has slowed Bennett for the last few weeks, he's no longer on the injury report and ready to cash in and score for the first time since Week 3.
5. Rob Gronkowski, NE vs. NYJ
In his third year of his career and only two games removed from topping 100 yards and scoring, some are suggesting it's time to sell on Rob Gronkowski. He's topped 60 yards and scored three times this season, but that's nothing compared to the eight multi-touchdown games he scored last season. That's not even possible to repeat! Last time he faced off against the Jets, he had eight catches, 113 yards and two scores. To quote That 70's Show, "BURN!"
6. Jermaine Gresham, CIN vs. PIT
Jermaine Gresham has now topped 60 yards in three of his last four games and scored in two of those last four. It's not that he suddenly became talented. He's always been a solid play. He'll continue to be solid as he faces off against the Steelers in prime time. Pittsburgh has allowed a tight end to score in every odd-numbered week of the season. Fantasy Victory has learned that it's Week 7. Last year in the home matchup with the Steelers, Gresham scored as well.
7. Jason Witten, DAL at CAR
Jason Witten appears to be as healthy as ever, after compiling two consecutive great games for the Cowboys. Witten has 19 catches for 200 yards and a score in just his last two games. Do you think Tony Romo has a bit of confidence in Witten? I do. I figure he's going to be looking for Witten early and often this week against the Panthers. Carolina has allowed an opposing tight end to top 50 yards in each of their last four games. That's child's play for Witten.
8. Brandon Pettigrew, DET at CHI
If you have read this article before, you may have heard us state a few times that the key to beating the Bears is solid tight end play. The aforementioned Jason Witten was the only bright spot in the Cowboys' implosion a few weeks ago. Witten recorded 13 catches for 112 yards and a score against the Bears, on a night where Tony Romo seemed to hit navy blue and orange jerseys more than the Cowboys' home whites. Brandon Pettigrew and the Lions should have fair luck against the Bears on Monday night too, a Lions tight end has scored against Chicago in two straight games.
9. Vernon Davis, SF vs. SEA
It's tough for traditional wide receivers to have a positive fantasy day against the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle has held the bigger, speedier receivers in check, while the smaller slot players and tight ends have had much more success. For instance, Wes Welker and Aaron Hernandez each scored last week in Seattle, while Brandon Lloyd was left out in the rain. Vernon Davis has that ability to create mismatches. Unfortunately for Davis, he hasn't had the greatest of success against Seattle. Last year in two meetings he had yardage totals of only 47 and 54 yards and did not score.
10. Kyle Rudolph, MIN vs. ARI
The main threats on the Vikings offense are Percy Harvin and Adrian Peterson. Stand them on top of each other and they're barely as tall as Kyle Rudolph. The 6'6" Rudolph is the Vikings go-to target near the end zone, as Rudolph has more touchdowns inside the 20 (five) than Peterson and Harvin have combined (four). The last time the Cardinals faced a tight end of Rudolph's stature, it was Rob Gronkowski who gathered 75 yards and a score. I see a similar day for Rudolph.

LAWRENCEVILLE — Improving neighborhoods and attracting the right businesses for Gwinnett's county seat were the main topics for discussion at Thursday's candidate forum for the upcoming Lawrenceville City Council election.
The four candidates vying for an open seat on the council agreed on many of the issues discussed by the Lawrenceville Neighborhood Alliance, although they had different paths to those results.
"We need to be the crown jewel of Gwinnett County," said Keith Roche, a retired executive who spent years on the city's Planning and Zoning Board. "I want to clean up the corridors. I want to invest in our neighborhoods."
All of the candidates said the city should follow through on its code enforcement, continue a push to revitalize the infrastructure in older neighborhoods and stop the growth of pawn shops, used car lots and other less desirable businesses. But Larry Troutman, who owns Atlanta Auction Company, said the city often uses intimidation and has confusing regulations that could drive business away.
"Before we are too quick to judge, we need to look at every situation," Troutman said. "… I don't think we will survive unless we embrace our business owners."
Renita Hamilton, a candidate who had to close a business on the Square, said the city needs to work to bring foot traffic to the downtown. She's also working to create a mentorship program with Georgia Gwinnett College to help reduce the local high school's low graduation rate.
"I believe very much that education is the key to our economic success," Hamilton said, adding that she wanted to fill a void in communication between the government and the community.
Rory Johnson, the senior executive director of the Lawrenceville Boys and Girls Club, talked about strategies the club uses to make sure that diverse groups have a voice, and he talked about increasing city recreation and decreasing crime.
"We need to make sure all people are included in all decisions," Johnson said, adding that anothertop priority is accountability of taxpayers' investments.

ISLAMABAD: In a special press conference called on Friday, Federal Information Minister Qamar Zaman Kaira urged Pakistan's media organisations to exercise caution in reporting "matters of sensitive nature".
Kaira said that Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf did not appoint former Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority (Ogra) chief Tauqir Sadiq, and urged news organisations not to conduct a media trial of the prime minister.
Sadiq, who is said to have fled the country, has allegedly caused a loss of Rs 83 billion to the national exchequer during his time as Ogra chief, and the Supreme Court had declared his appointment illegal and directed the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) to investigate corruption cases against him within 45 days.
On Thursday, the apex court ordered NAB to file within a week two corruption references in the Tauqir Sadiq case. One of the references points a finger at the prime minister who had allegedly approved Sadiq's appointment as Ogra chairman.
Speaking at the press conference, Kaira said that the former Ogra chairman was not appointed by Ashraf but by former Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani on the recommendations of a committee headed by Ashraf, then serving as Federal Minister for Water and Power.
Kaira urged the media exercise caution while reporting on such "sensitive matters".
Criticising the media on the Tauqi Sadiq case, Kaira said that television talk shows delve in discussions on courtroom remarks, which is tantamount to influencing the legal proceedings.
"The democratic government is always open to accountability, but a media trial is not justified," he said.
The information minister further asked that if the former Ogra chief had committed a crime, then why is a media trial of the prime minister being conducted.
Kaira said that the federal government was facing considerable pressure over Sadiq's corruption and his escape from the country. He said that the matter was also discussed during a meeting of the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) core committee, and that he was instructed to present the government's stance to the media.
Speaking about a case involving the death of a NAB official investigating the Rental Power projects case, Kaira said that forensic investigation was underway over Kamran Faisal's death, and that facts would be presented when the probed is completed.

Spot rubber maintains firm trend
Our Correspondent
Kottayam , March 14
Spot rubber maintained a firm trend on Tuesday. According to market circles certain major manufacturers were active on sheet rubber up to Rs 79.25 a kg but they were keeping a low profile. Hence the covering groups and purchase agents were not so enthusiastic though the market witnessed an all-round improvement in prices.
The arrivals to the village markets declined indicating the possibility of a positive trend. Sheet rubber RSS 4 improved to Rs 79.50 and Rs 79.75 a kg respectively at Kottayam and Kochi from Rs 79.00 and Rs 79.50 a kg on Monday.
Futures steady
The NMCE rubber futures were rather steady followed by an almost similar trend in international indices. The near month April delivery contract was traded at Rs 82.20 (82.25), May contract at Rs 84.72 (84.79) and June contract at Rs 86.35 (86.47) per kg for RSS 4.
The transactions were extremely dull at 420 lots registering 91 lots in April, 232 lots in May and 97 lots in June till midday.
The March contract for RSS 4 improved to Rs 79.50 against Rs 78.06 a kg on MCX.
RSS 3 improved marginally to Rs 91.20 from Rs 91.03 a kg at Bangkok spot. The April futures RSS 3 closed at 236.8 Yen (Rs 88.77) against 236.2 Yen a kg at TOCOM.
Physical prices a kg were: RSS-4: Rs 79.50 (79); RSS-5: Rs 78.50 (78); ungraded: Rs 78 (77); ISNR 20: Rs 78.25 (78) and latex 60% (a litre): Rs 56 (56).

- The best result I could have wished for, if you don't believe me just take a look
at the site as I am very proud of the quality. The changes that needed to be made
were always done either the same day or the next at worse, and were done in exact
accordance to my specifications which is not usually the case with most companies,
and there was never a suggestion of them having to do it as an extra, which I was
very impressed with. Harsh and the team managed to seamlessly implement a complex
selection of the most up-to-date shipment and payment methods, and corresponded
with the necessary people to make things run smoothly. Not only did they do the
job, they also contributed to our project by bringing their years of experience.

This week, news broke that key members of the Enyo and webOS development team were leaving HP and headed over to Google. The staff that was reported as leaving were said to be crucial members in the Enyo framework development and included leader of the project Matt McNulty. While this may have sounded like a death knell for the Open webOS project, HP has reaffirmed its commitment to the platform, and says that it plans to expand the number of staff working on the Open webOS project.
In a post to its official Enyo blog, HP says that "it's true that some key members of the Enyo team have left the company, but the majority of the engineering and leadership team remains." That doesn't really jibe with the report from The Verge that said those leaving were responsible "99 percent of the code" that makes up the Enyo framework. However, HP says that it not only plans to replace those engineers that are leaving, but also hire more staff that will work on the Enyo framework, making the team even larger than before.
It's hard to see how the Open webOS project will continue as originally planned, but HP has said that it intends to keep the roadmap for the project that it announced back in January and it expects to have a final version of Open webOS released by September. Either way, we'll be watching to see if the project produces results or gets swallowed up by its corporate parent.source: HP

RENO, Nev. (AP) -- Federal land managers have announced the federal grazing fee will stay at the minimum allowable level for a seventh straight year, rekindling a debate between conservationists and ranchers over the issue.
Bureau of Land Management and Forest Service officials last month said the fee of $1.35 per animal unit month will remain in effect this year for ranchers on public lands in 16 Western states.
Katie Fite of the Idaho-based Western Watersheds Project says the fee is unrealistically low because it's set by an outdated formula that allows ranchers to pay far less than they would for grazing on private land.
But Nevada Cattlemen's Association President J.J. Goicoechea (go-gah-CHEE-yah) says ranchers play an important role in rural counties, and are already struggling because of drought and wildfires across the West.

Saddle Ranch Chop House
Westgate City Center
9375 W. Coyotes Blvd., Glendale
If you're looking to tame a mechanical bull, or the kind of person who is looking to tame a mechanical bull, hit up Saddle Ranch Chop House.
The Glendale location leans a bit more rock than the Scottsdale location (which spins more hip-hop), but both draw crowds of trendy 20-somethings. This is also the kind of bar that draws meat eaters, as various menus include at least eight cuts of dry-aged steak.
The Tuesday $2 domestic-draft promotion packs the bars with a mix of professional and blue-collar neighbors from about 4 p.m. to close, with friendliness increasing as daylight decreases. It's a particular hot spot before and after Coyotes games and concerts at adjacent Jobing.com Arena.
On Sundays, the Hollywood-style honky-tonk fills up as riders compete for $500 cash and watch others try.

Recipe and Seed Swap
A couple weeks ago I was stuck in rush hour traffic and I came up with the bright idea to host a seed swap, but with a little DigginFood twist. Instead of just sending seeds, I decided it would be way more fun if everyone sent their favorite recipe and a packet of seeds for one of the recipe's ingredients.
I've been wanting to organize a swap ever since I participated in the Punk Rock Garden Swap that Renee Garner organized last year. It was so, so fun and I got some really cool stuff. Renee is an amazing gardener, graphic designer, and artist who blogs at Wolfie and the Sneak and at Modish. Renee has created a series of really beautiful, free downloads at Wolfe and the Sneak, including Easy Peasy Compost Instructions, a garden planning worksheet, and a set of lovely recipe cards! So I asked Renee if she would be willing to share the recipe cards for this swap and she most generously agreed (Thanks, Renee!).
To help manage the swap, I'm using Swap Bot, which is a website that makes organizing swaps easier for people who are slightly disorganized (like me). Here's how it works.
1. To sign up for the Feed Me: Recipe and Seed Swap click on this link: http://www.swap-bot.com/swap/show/35078
The password for the swap is: DigginFood
2. You'll need to register on Swap Bot (don't worry, it's free, quick, and simple). The last day to register is next Tuesday, April 21. On April 22nd you'll get an email from Swap Bot with the address of your partner.
3. For the swap, you'll need to choose a favorite recipe. Then, download the recipe cards designed by Renee (just click on the recipe card image above to download the PDF or click here). Print the recipe cards on matte card stock. Write your recipe on a card, get seeds for one of the ingredients, wrap everything up nice and pretty and send it off to your partner by April 28.
4. I have just a few swapping hints. It's probably a little late to send seeds of warm season crops like tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants that need to be started indoors. Consider choosing a recipe that highlights fresh vegetables or herbs. If you sign up for the swap, be sure to send off your recipe and seeds by April 28, otherwise you'll leave your partner hanging.
I'm planning on setting up a Flickr group so swap participants can upload photos of their seeds, of the plants growing in their gardens, and the dishes they make with their new recipes. If you've never done a swap before, you should try it! It's a great way to connect with people who share your interests and getting your package in the mail is super, super fun!

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - The mother of a Tucson teenager who was fatally shot on Mount Lemmon two years ago has filed a lawsuit against a woman acquitted in the case.
Rosemary Leon is seeking unspecified damages for grief and mental suffering and also wants to be reimbursed for her son's funeral and burial costs.
The Arizona Daily Star (http://bit.ly/QGKHZd) says Leon filed the lawsuit against 20-year-old Marisela Romero last month in Pima County Superior Court.
A jury acquitted Romero of negligent homicide last October in the shooting of 18-year-old Rene Carillo during a camping trip.
Romero told authorities she thought the handgun wasn't loaded and she only intended to scare Carrillo on Sept. 10, 2010.
Leon's suit claims Romero was behaving negligently when she pulled the trigger and shot Carillo in the head.

We all love how Mike Tomlin gets valuable points across with minimal verbiage. His short, catchy phrases are becoming legend in Steeler Nation. His most recent perhaps is the one I read where he told Limas Sweed to "under-promise and over-deliver." What a great way to get a point across to a young wide receiver that talk is cheap and only actions and results matter. My all-time favorite is "together we all eat," talking about the essence of teamwork in just four short words. He said that when talking about how important the pass rush was to the coverage and vice versa.
I know some may say this stuff is obvious, but I think Tomlin has a way of reaching his players that really hit home. So, what is your favorite Tomlinism or message or mannerism that you really love about the guy?

In light of all the stupid, seflish NFL [insert BIG expletive], I thought was fun and that it would bring joy to every Carolina Panther fan! We knew this guy was a douche... and apparently a Texas grand jury agrees. Here's my version of the official news release. Enjoy!
SwankTheTank Press - (Dallas/Ft. Worth) The Tampa Bay Bucaneers most notorious miscreant, Aqib Talib, was officially charged today with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Back in March, Talib was arrested after trying to "let off a few hot rocks" at his sister boyfriend.
An officer from the Garland City Police Dept. describes the drama that led to the arrest. "Talib's highly-probable criminalistic and self-admitted promiscuous sister had some sort of petty argument with her probable-criminal and more-than-likely abusive boyfriend. Talib's response to this was, "Ahhhh hell nah! Break yo' self [expletive] [expletive]!" Shots rang out. The boyfriend escape any injury. Then we showed up to clear the scene. I kind of wanted to taze him.... no lie."
The interesting part of this report is Talib did not act alone. There was in fact a second shooter on scene! The second shooter was identified as Okolo Talib.... his mama. Okolo reportedly "busted out her piece because she don't take sh*t from anybody!" As it has been noticed, the retard doesn't fall far from the retard tree.
Fantastically, a grand jury in Texas today, has returned the indictment and Talib was "officially" charged with the crime. One juror gave us his thoughts: "I don't like him. We didn't even see evidence from his side... Didn't need to; I don't like him. I'm leading with my head... Hahaha! You like that Talib?!!" A young, cute and platinum blond juror said, "Taleen Habean? Who's that? I was textin' my girl all day. I finally got with Melvin Fletcher!! OMG! Teehehehe! What's your name?" One of the overseeing judges described the jury as "passionate" and "dedicated to justice."
Talib was freed on a $25,000 bond a week following the crime. Talib's charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon carries a 5 - 20 year prison sentence. His mama skated away from any charges to continue "regulating" her "hood." Now the question is... Will Talib make it to the court date? Or will he decide to get "gangsta" on someone else before then? Only time will tell.

As aproud alumnus of the Vandy Greek scene, I am very happy to see we've made it to the top. A very deserving recognition, especially considering our love for pastels, cavemanning/shotgunning/dunkaroo-ing Natty Lights, and caring more about our fraternity tailgates than football games (although this reign may be short lived as reported by VandyBubble). But, um, how about #2? Somehow, the geniuses over at Princeton Review seem to think that Transylvania University is the second best greek scene in the country. I find it hard to believe that a school that I've never heard of and that sounds more like Dracula's alma mater beat out the likes of SEC, Big 10, Pac-10, and other major conference powerhouses to claim a spot on this list, to say nothing of the #2 spot. If you agree with this injustice and believe your school got shafted from the rankings, Sound Off about it. Hell, I invite any readers we have from Trans. U to prove me wrong in the comments.

Short Pump brewery offers more than just beer
I am still (happily) thinking about my entire experience at Rock Bottom Restaurant and Brewery last week. Knowing nothing about this new brewery out of Denver, I was leery of brew-pub in the heart of Short Pump Town Center – this is not what I'd usually think of as a perfect fit, and yet, it was.
The restaurant and craft brewery opened in early June and features 10 beers made by female brewmaster Becky Hammond (pictured). This is the restaurant's second location in Virginia; the first is in Arlington. Behind glass walls, customers watched the beer brewing in massive steel barrels. For our up-and-coming beer region, it makes sense that Short Pump would jump on board.
As I walked up to the back of the mall near the comedy club, I was taken aback by what I saw: at the top of the stairs was an overflowing restaurant with outdoor seating, large umbrellas and dangling outdoor lights. > Read more.

What if loggers in your state made their own policy and pretty soon your lands had been denuded of all their once-fine timber -- great forests reduced mostly to barren ground? Then what if they claimed that because no trees were left for them to harvest, you (and all other citizens of the state) now owed them welfare since they could no longer work?
I wonder how most folks would react.
I think I have some idea.
Yet Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick is reported "leaning toward" seeking a federal disaster declaration to help out the state's beleaguered commercial fishermen -- that is, asking citizens to pick up the tab for years of overfishing. I'm not hard-hearted, nor do I think most sport fishermen are. Asking for taxpayer funds to help a commercial fleet ravaged by, say, storms, is one thing. But asking taxpayers to pick up the tab for avoidable self-destruction, for those who wiped out their own livelihood, is something else again. Worse yet, those involved in the recreational-fishing industry must feel that such bailouts are particularly unfair since on one's offering to picking up their tabs for lost business in the face of collapsed stocks of groundfish.
Granted, there's the justification that the commercial fleets were only following federal rules. But everyone knew that the federal fisheries management had been corrupted, and that as scientists repeatedly warned, a collapse of groundfish stocks was imminent. Yet the fishing raged on. Until it was dead.
It would seem that the governor is now succumbing to the same kind of pressures that fishery managers in that region routinely bowed to. As commercial fishers continually invested in bigger, faster boats and higher technology, they grew more proficient at catching fish on the banks, but also had to catch more to pay for the capitalization and a vicious cycle ensued. The result was the end of an industry -- it was avoidable and it's genuinely a sad thing.
I certainly wish no ill toward the state's commercial fishermen and regret the hard times that they and their families face now with the death of an industry. But I'm not sure we should be rewarding those who killed it with infusions of public money.

David Taylor has won the hodge trophy, which is the wrestling equivalent of the Heisman. Impressively Penn State finished with three guys in the top 5 and the number 1 and 2 wrestlers which is just ridiculous, and well deserved. Ruth finished 2nd in voting, and I think a strong case could have been made for his winning the trophy as he competed in a deeper weight class this year. Molinaro ended his career 4th in voting.
I also did some digging about the last time a team has had 3 undefeated national champions in the same year. I still have a hunch that one of the Gable teams may have done it in the 80s or early 90s but so far from what I've found, Penn State maybe the first since Oklahoma State in 1930.
