Only Half of Lower Allston is a SBIR HUBZone?Posted on December 31st, 2010 No comments
In the course of filling out an SBIR application I ran across the below. Only a portion of Lower Allston is considered a HUBZone (Historically Underutilized Business Zone), which gives businesses in those areas preference in Federal contracting.
The included areas appear to cover most of the Harvard and BU land in Allston. This includes some private businesses and residences as well.
To realize the benefits of the program the firm and some employees must reside inside the zone:
To qualify for the program, a business must meet the following criteria:
- It must be a small business by SBA size standards;
- Its principal office must be located within a HUBZone, which includes lands on federally recognized Indian reservations;
- It must be owned and controlled by one or more U.S. citizens (N.B.-this means any level of ownership in an applicant small business by another company would result in a decline). Approved ownership can also be by a Community Development Corporation or Indian tribe; and
- At least 35% of its employees must reside in a HUBZone.
So in effect if you're living on or near campus and running a business out of your apartment you'd be in a "Historically Underutilized Business Zone". This was apparently based on 2010 Census data… somehow?
When I get some time I'd like to research this more, but its unfortunate that more of Lower Allston was not included. Were there too many EIN's pulled in the rest of Lower Allston? Too many private employers? Do non-profit employers figure into the calculation? Did Charlesview qualify its whole zone, but that only explains that one?
It just seems strange that an operating train yard is a "Historically Underutilized Business Zone" and a huge empty office building on Lincoln St is not. As small businesses try to get a foothold in Lower Allston these designations may make it more difficult for them to get federal help.
Harvard rents a building!Posted on March 26th, 2010 No comments
As reported by the BRA and Allston Brighton Community Blog Harvard has RENTED one of the many empty buildings it owns in Allston!
I believe the building in question had been used by the Harvard Police and some contractors. It seemed to be one of least run down buildings in their inventory. Although the Crimson reports that some build out will happen maybe this will prove to Harvard that it needs to up the maintance of its vacant buildings to make them more marketable.
Regardless great news. 1 done, many to go.
Charlesview approvedPosted on January 15th, 2010 No comments
Although it isn't all we wanted I'm somewhat glad its done. Let's demolish some empty buildings! And actually replace them with new buildings!
Charlesview apartments approved
Boston Business Journal – by Mary Moore
The Boston Zoning Commission on Thursday approved a mixed-income development proposed by nonprofit builder The Community Builders and Charlesview Inc., the governing board of the Charlesview Apartments.
The new Charlesview Residences in Allston will includee 240 rental units and 100 owned units.
Also mild kudos to Harvard for coming up with creatives uses for an empty VW dealership… time to go to Play It Again sports for some cheap skates since its BYO-skates.
Also also don't forget to vote Tuesday.

Harvard cleans up for the BRA walking tour?Posted on May 6th, 2009 1 comment
I noticed this at about noon today. I hope Harvard cleans up before the walking tour (1). For those that don't drive by every day this is the empty building at 176 Lincoln St (2).
All teasing of Harvard and their empty properties aside vandalism and/or disrepair isn't cool. Since it was pushed toward the street either (1) someone pushed it over (vandalism) or (2) a Harvard contractor or employee with a key to the gate hit it backing out of the locked driveway (blatant disrepair).
In both cases this is what happens when properties are virtually abandoned. I hope this starts and ends with an uprooted cosmetic post.
"On Thursday, May 7, the BRA will lead a walking tour/site visit
of the Holton Street corridor. We will meet at 4:00 p.m. at the
Allston-Brighton Resource Center, 367 Western Avenue. "

Is this Lower Allston or Detroit?Posted on May 5th, 2009 No comments
Is this an empty Harvard property in Allston? No. Our diligence will prevent this from happening here. It was left empty by a different set of problems with a different set of solutions, but led to the same outcome — or hopefully only a potential outcome in our case.

New Use For Former Comcast BuildingPosted on April 22nd, 2009 No comments28 Travis St used to be the Comcast center for the Boston area adding foot traffic to the Barry's Corner retail area. Now its behind the Travis St gate and used as an office for contractors working on the Science Center. Soon it will presumably be empty adding nothing to the community, but more blight.
Comcast has since moved to the other side of the Pike… adding its foot traffic to the revitalized Cambridge St. Given all the empty store fronts on Western Ave I think people would even welcome a tattoo parlor (no offense to Stingray Body Art) in North Allston.
Oldies, but goodies – Allston resists HarvardPosted on April 17th, 2009 No commentsThe below images may be old news to some, but in mid Feburary community members from ABNA (1) put home made banners on some of Harvard's vacant buildings near Barry's Corner to highlight the blight that Harvard is giving us. Too bad I had class that night or I would have participated.Remember to support local businesses tomorrow and every day.

Dirty and empty at 168 Western AvePosted on April 4th, 2009 1 comment
Late last year Harvard asked Boston Volkswagen to move out of their location near Barry's Corner at 168 Western Ave(1). Their lot was soon mostly engulfed by the Science Center build site. Now less than a year later this "land grab" as become irrevelant as Harvard delays construction at the site.
What could have been a generator of foot traffic in a renewed Barry's corner is now empty and dirty. An old hydraulic manfold sits behind the building leaking fluid into the unused lot.
Above the front door the VW "Start" sign is still in place.
When will the rebuilding of Allston really start? In my mind that day will come when a majority of Harvard's properties are occupied — whether those occupants are Harvard entities or paying tenants.

Why can't Allston be more like Beverly?Posted on March 31st, 2009 1 comment
I've seen a number of comments defending the status of 176 Lincoln St status as not leasable. The claim is even if it were fixed up no innovative company could rent that space in the current economic climate.
My questions is why can't this building become another Cummings Park-like property? In Beverly, Cummings (1) took a HUGE old factory and transformed it into 100s of small, medium and large office suites. Small and start up businesses flocked to the complex. Those who were successful moved into progressively larger offices or off campus to the local community. Rents for small offices were reasonable. Cummings made its money off many small tenants instead a small number of large tenants. Locally a building on Braintree St is used for a similar purpose, but is more aimed at artists.
Some would claim that Harvard can't afford to develop this property. I would say how can they afford not to develop this property and others in Allston. With minimal investment they could be revenue generating for the next 30 to 50 years until Harvard needs them back.
No one expects Harvard to empty its endowment to rebuild Allston. What people do expect is when you own that much property that you have a clear plan for it – both short and long term. One would also expect some course correction due to changing circumstances. There HAS to be a middle ground between doing NOTHING (the current short term plan) and building a $1 billion building (the old short term plan).

Let it Burn: The Sequester Is The Only Thing In DC Actually Cutting Spending
I think @benk84 linked this this morning. I need a post, so I'll link it again.
Fear not. As always in Washington when there is talk of cutting spending, most of the hysteria is baseless. The nearby table from the House Budget Committee shows that programs are hardly starved for money. In Mr. Obama's first two years, while private businesses and households were spending less and deleveraging, federal domestic discretionary spending soared by 84% with some agencies doubling and tripling their budgets.
I don't care, Obama's my dad. Chris Rock says so.

Albany- Community Development Block Grants have helped Albany improve housing projects across the city, but now that money's in jeopardy.
Wednesday, House and Senate leaders got a tour of Albany housing projects to stress the importance of CDBG funding. Representative from both Senator Saxby Chambliss and Congressman Sanford Bishop's office along with city and county officials toured Albany's Homeless Transitional Facility. Representatives say what Albany's done with their funding is impressive.
"I'm always concerned with the plight of homeless people because that's not an issue that's dealt with on a consistent basis, but I'm just happy to know in Albany they've expressed an interest in it, and they have a transitional housing center to help those affected by the plight of homelessness," said Kenneth Cutts, Congressman Sanford Bishop's spokesman.
"We have a lot of development projects still coming and that have been completed. We have some projects that were funded with both home and CDBG. New construction of rental housing, new construction of single family, home owner housing, most of which is being developed with private funds with a very small investment of CDBG funds," said Jennifer Clark, Community and Economic development Director.
Representatives also toured the Lily Pad, a sexual assault center.

Unplugged Mom – "More Trivium: An Introduction" – with Gene Odening
Welcome to your intellectual pilgrimage folks.
I'm honored to have had the pleasure of interviewing long time Trivium student, philosopher and advocate, Gene Odening, for a multi-part, exclusive Unplugged Mom Radio presentation on the Trivium.
Here you will find my brief explanation of the series immediately followed by The Introduction to the series. Please listen to fully appreciate the most important significance in this pursuit of intellectual growth.
"The Trivium Improves thinking because it helps to awaken and connect dormant neurons."
Studying the trivium brings us 'knowing' as opposed to the 'illusion of knowing'.
Why the emphasis on Trivium in UM? Find out by clicking here
*Note: toward the end of this episode you will hear me announce that Part I – Grammar immediately follows. However due to some personal unforeseen scheduling issues we were unable to mix the Grammar episode in time. So I invite you to listen and reflect on the information presented in the Introduction and look forward to Grammar coming out very soon!

I have raised 3 daughters and I so wish I had this information when they were little. Two of my girls are now teachers and I have forwarded this podcast to them. I wait for further installments with bated breath! Bravo!!!
Is there a way for modern teachers, within the confines of their 45 minute classes and gov't red tape to imbue their lessons with the knowledge and practice of the trivium?
If so, I want to know how.
No. In my humble opinion. It will go against all of what public edu represents. This would be a direct attack against the status quo. Indoctrination is their goal. Free and critical thinking is the outcome with Trivium thinking or natural organic thinking. The two are polar opposites in my personal opinion.
The Trivium has been deprogrammed out of some of us. Not all. Here's one to chew on. Your difficult children, rule breakers, etc. may have had it right. Maybe their the one's closest to organic thinking? For example: I resisted education all the way up until high school. I could barely read in the tenth grade, but I was always highly revered as being intelligent and smart. As a youngster, I never stayed put in one place often. If an adult said go right, many times I'd go left. LOL I was suspended from school tens of times starting in kindergarten all the way to the 9th grade. And never for doing anything serious or "bad" but not following 'the rules" per se. I was often a victim of corporate punishment and I always said to myself as a child, its only gonna make me stronger and I truly believed it. What also thrived in my mine, no matter what I was gonna do what I wanted to do, if I believed it wasn't right. It got to a point where adults just gave up and left me alone and I did what I wanted to do even more. By age 11, I got a full-time job and was happy coming from a very poor family. Then at 15, I entered high school excited, because I always wanted to play organized football. I instantly thrived on the varsity level and lead the team. Mid-way through the season, I was kicked off the team, because I had failed every class. LOL I must have cried for three days straight. That hurt me getting put off the team. Then the indoctrination kicked in. I wanted football and they wanted a traditional obedient indoctrinated student, so I gave it to them. l quickly turned my F's into C's and B's with the help of a very lovely tutor (now my wife; I'm 46 now) and became "a phenomenal student" as I was called on graduation day. LOL The difference is and why the Trivium resonates with me personally is that by age 15 I had already gathered enough grammar (about the world) and entered the Logic stage where as I truly believe none of it stuck to me. Of course I dibbled and dabbled in the jones, but for the most part, I to this day see things as they are. I believe its because of my defiance as a child, adolescent and a teen. Now I'm view as a person who looks into things too much…LOL I always sorry, its the Trivium. LOL
Hello my friend! I want to say that this post is amazing, great written and come with approximately all significant infos. I'd like to peer more posts like this .
I am impressed with your knowledge of Trivium and your ability to communicate such a topic with ease. You are self-educated and a wonderful instructor of the knowledge that you were mentored. I had no idea of the depth of your intellect. Bless you brother.
Dido! Every time I listen to Gene's interviews I learn something new that I missed before. I was angry when he stopped doing interviews (I assume) and began re-listening to each and everyone. What I have surmised is that he's given us all we need. For the pass three yrs now I'm drawn back to all four of Jan's interviews, and all the others. It's still relevant and new to me!!!! I've listened to his interviews 10s of times learning something new each time…it's amazing. And I've never done that with anything before. I'm gonna go out on a lim here. I really don't think you can get it all listening one, two or even three times. It's a life study and he has personally shown you Pandora's box. LOL He then cracked the lid and walked away humbly. He doesn't have to say anything else if and when you properly digest the information and concept of the natural workings of your mind. That's unprecedented! Who does that?
One other point which has had a direct impact on me recently. In Jan's fourth interview with Gene he discussed the modes of man's thinking. I have listened to that damn podcast at lease (honestly) twenty times. Just a few months ago…it resonated in me. How man thinks and why. LOL Gene broke it down into three simple categories:
1. Mythology
2. Philosophy
3. Verifiable Science
LOL in my mind that explains damn there everything. I just got that after 3 freaking years!!! It's allowed me to have true understanding of man's historic flight in attempting to find truth. Smfh I advise everyone to go back…to the beginning and listen again. You will be shocked at what you will find in this man's words.

Joey Matschulat Tackles This Whole Michael Young Thing Once More
Matches also writes the following: "...the fan base, which seems to be completing the full-circle progression from miserable (during the hopeless early-aughts) to overjoyed (during that 2009-11 window, up until Game 6 of last year's World Series) back towards kinda-sorta miserable. The 2012 regular season will not go down in our collective memory as an altogether enjoyable or pleasurable ride, and that sucks." Do you feel this way, Rangers baseball fan? Is baseball just not as fun when only that final out will do?

Even With A Pullback, Amira Nature Foods Not A Value Story
PRO • Stephen Simpson, CFA • Wed, May. 14 • 4 Comments
- Demand for basmati rice continues to fuel double-digit growth in both volume and price for Amira.
- India's tottering economy, foreign currency headwinds, and working capital items introduce short-term turbulence into Amira's financials.
- Amira seems undervalued relative to other high-growth food stocks, but closer to fair value on a cash flow basis.

Coming into the season most people expected the Red Sox to be at best a middle of the pack team in the AL East, unlikely to compete for a playoff spot but capable of winning their fair share of games. Obviously this has not been the case as the Red Sox are currently sitting in 1st place in what is arguably the best division in the MLB. The best part about the current state of affairs for Red Sox fans is that they have managed this without sacrificing the prospect depth that they had intended on building around for the coming 2014 season and beyond. Not only this but they have managed to field their current playoff caliber team with a group of players best described as mercenaries, as no one signed in the offseason has a contract longer than 3 years and to fairly low sums of money even then.
Looking forward to the 2014 Red Sox (premature though it may be) it seems as though they are in a fantastic position for the future. Barring catastrophe the 25 man roster already looks to be nearly full, the only expected open positions this off season will be shortstop, catcher, center field, first base and perhaps third base and bullpen piece or two. Already three of those positions look like they will likely by manned for the foreseeable future by the likes of Jackie Bradley Junior (CF), Jose Iglesias (SS) and Xander Bogaerts (3B). The left side of the infield still has some variability to it depending on the continued success of both Iggy and Xander, not to mention the struggling Middlebrooks but it seems safe to say that the Red Sox will stick with a combination of two of these three players to start the season and let them find their footing in the majors in the majors rather than sign more stop gaps to fill the role. The presence of Garin Cechhini, currently doing very well in AA despite just being promoted, only reinforces this belief.
This leaves just first base, catcher and the relief corps as positions to be filled via free agency or trades. Considering all the cost controlled assets on the projected team Cot's Contracts projects us to have just $88 million in contract commitments going into next year. There will be a few raises from arbitration eligible players including third year guys Bailey, Aceves, Miller and Morales (Cot's also lists Uehera but that seems like its incorrect, any one know what the status is on that?) and first year guys Tazawa and Carp. Given that these are all relievers or bench players I feel confident setting a generous upper limit of $15 million in raises for this group, perhaps higher if one of them ends the year having spent significant time as closer.
The luxury tax threshold for next year projects to be about $189 million, with the Red Sox being a large market team with high revenue and considering their past excursions I would again think it safe to say that this figure accurately represents the Red Sox's budget for 2014. Subtracting the guaranteed money along with the projected arbitration raises there would be roughly $86 million left in the budget, though it should be pointed out that not all of that must be spent. Frankly, that puts us in a great position where we can choose to either sign a big name player or two or trade for them in order to fill our few needs for the future.
Let's take a look at that options available to us next season. At first base notable free agents include Hart, Kotchman, Morales, Morneau, Morse, Reynolds and Napoli if we wish to resign him. None of these players are huge acquisitions but then there doesn't seem to be anything significant available on the trade market either. The positive is that none of these players are going to cost significant money or years on a contract and most of them can perform reasonably well.
Catcher is a more interesting situation with the likes of Buck, McCann, Soto, Suzuki and of course Salty available this coming off season. With all the different defensive aspects going into the position, many of which have yet to be reliably quantified by sabermetrics it can be hard to get a read on which is the best option going forward. Personally as much as I hate to say it I see the Red Sox resigning Saltalmacchia on a reasonable contract. I think that they may like to go with a stop gap option until the likes of Vasquez and potentially Swihart are ready, but there seems to be very little in decent filler options available which along with how far away Swihart and to a lesser degree Vasquez are could be problematic.
If they follow roughly this plan or even if they make a big trade they should still have a good deal of money leftover to spend in the coming season. I expect that they will sign Pedroia to an extension, preferably one that increases his already contracted money for the next two years (while financial flexibility remains) in order to save some in the future years. Aside from Pedey there are no obvious candidates for extension and there will presumably be enough prospects blocked in the majors that I believe we should entertain the idea of a big trade, preferably for Stanton. I feel like something based around Cechinni with one of our top pitching prospects (either Webster or Ranuando in my opinion) and a few other marginal guys (Brentz and Mookie perhaps) could get it done. That's a good deal of value going back to the Marlins without costing us a whole lot because of players being blocked. The trade would be dependent on us locking him up long term of course but we certainly have the money to do that.

Select Route:
Spliter and smear your way to the overhang then reach right to the two handed sloper on the mossy rock, that is the crux. Then head left to the ledge where you have another 10 feet of ladder holds to top out.
100 yards climbers left of the usual access gully and up quite a bit of loose scree. Just follow the bottom of the cliffs north until you see the overhang. There is another access gully 25 yards farther to the left and is just as exposed as the other one. BE CAREFUL!
Lots of big boulders at the top to wrap around.

Watford Ladies beat Bristol Academy in a pre-season friendly
Updated 5:43pm Thursday 3rd April 2014 in Latest Sport
Watford Ladies put in another impressive friendly display at Berkhamsted on Sunday, winning 1-0 against last season's second place side in the WSL, Bristol Academy.
Sarah Wiltshire got the only goal of the game with a stunner from 25 yards on a glorious Mother's Day.
It was an encouraging performance from the Golden Girls, the result no less than the team deserved for their efforts throughout the game.
Manager John Salomon was happy with the efforts from his players and said: "That was more like it from us, that's what we want.
"It's another good example of where we are at the moment. We still want to be better, we're still going to be working hard over the next two and a half weeks but it's a good place to be right now."
The hosts started brightly, Wiltshire testing Mary Earps in the Bristol goal early on.
Earps opposite number, Shayla Burgess, also had to be alert in the opening 15 minutes, saving from Angharad James and Laura Del Rio.
It was a half of many chances but little of the clear-cut variety as Jo Wilson and Kate Natkiel were unable to difficult opportunities.
The best chance of the half fell to the visitors. Bristol committed a number of bodies forward on 43 minutes, which led to Loren Dykes being presented with a glorious chance from ten yards out but she fired over.
Like in the opening period, Watford started the second half well, however Earps was having a good game and kept the score goalless.
But on 70 minutes the deadlock was broken with a moment of true quality. Wilson played the ball to Wiltshire on the right hand side, she cut inside and her left-footed strike from outside the area arrowed into the top corner.
Bristol had a chance to hit back almost immediately but Keka Vega sliced her effort wide.
The last 15 minutes saw little in the way of attempts on goal, while Burgess' handling was superb to deny any opportunities for The Vixens.
Even in a friendly, the work rate of the team never dropped throughout and the players celebrated a deserved victory at the end of the game.
Burgess had another good game in goal and she was pleased when assessing her performance, explaining: "I think I did very well. Definitely my distribution and kicking was a lot better. Generally I'm very proud of the girls because they were great."
Watford Ladies' Under-16 Wasps sealed a 1-0 win against Bury Rangers Whites thanks to a goal from Lauren Hall.
There was disappointment for the Under-16 Hornets as they exited the League Cup after losing 2-1 in extra-time to Bury Rangers Reds. Megan Warner netted the Watford consolation.
The Under-14 Wasps lost 2-0 against Bury while the Under-14 Harts were thumped 9-1 by Hitchin Belles. Becky Holmes netted for Watford.
The Under-14 Hornets defeated Bedwell Rangers 4-0 with Danielle Maloney (2), Tabatha Cowan and Olivia Syson on target.
In the League Cup semi-final, Watford's Under-12 Harts took on the Hornets.
The Hornets went ahead through Charli Connor but the Harts equalised via Lola Forsyth. The game went to extra-time and a goal from Kelsey Mugford secured victory.
The Under-11s lost 4-2 at Ruislip Rangers, a brace from Charlotte Clark was only a consolations.

It's not my proposal. Just saw this article over on NFL.com suggesting it.
Secondary issue in Detroit
The Lions have a weakness at safety, and it needs to be addressed if they're going to make a deep run in the playoffs.
Detroit finds a trading partner in the Jets. New York carries 10 defensive backs on its roster and can afford to deal safety Brodney Pool. In return, the Jets get Nate Burleson, who would become the third receiver with Mason now in Houston.
Titus Young has shown he's ready for more action and would replace Burleson. Pool gives the Lions a solid safety to go alongside Louis Delmas.
Now I don't disagree that they could use some help in the secondary. However, even with as good as Young has played I'm not convinced he should be counted on to replace Nate at this point. Plus it then begs the question of who gets Young's spot if you make the move?

Hello Buffalorumblings! Myself and atlantalove were Buffalos representatives in the most recent version of Mock the Draft! A community run and picked mock draft. Rounds 1 & 2 were chosen tonight, other rounds will be chosen this weekend. So how would the draft go if chosen by the fans?
Well, I can assure you that it was bedlam. Trades were flying and unusual picks were popping up everywhere.
May i remind everyone that its not a "think like Buddy Nix" draft. Its a "what do you do when youre on the clock?" draft. These picks dont represent what was ideal for us, but rather what fell to us in a real time draft
So what did your representatives do with their evening?
With the 10th overall pick, the Buffalo Bills selected:
OT Jonathan Martin, Stanford
The most peculiar thing happened. WR Justin Blackmon wasnt selected when our pick came along. And yet, I couldnt take him. Ive thought for a while that his talent exceeded his hype and the community agreed with me as he fell to 15th. In my opinion it was the right choice because Jonathan Martin is the prototypical starting LT. Hes the perfect size, weight and has been described as having excellent fundamentals. I couldnt pass on him considering how thin this team is at tackle. Hairston is good, but Im not sold on him being a starting LT. We need someone to cover the blind side and Martin is that guy
With the 41st overall pick, the Buffalo Bills selected:
QB Brock Osweiller, Arizona State
This was sort of a bottom of the barrel pick. I tried twice to trade into the 1st round or early second for other players and failed miserably every time. However it wasnt an all is lost pick, Osweiller could have been a first round pick. His downfall is his confidence. He needs to start strong to keep going. However he has all the abilities and is regarded as a natural leader on the field. Exactly what you look for in a starting QB
Remaining needs, CB LB, WR
Remaining picks #71, 105, 124, 144, 147, 178, 217 and 251.
Wish me luck on day 2!
Day 2 Has begun!
Its been a busy morning for me as I try to negotiate my way out of this paper bag. You see, Im not good with late round picks. Im only versed on the first 3 rounds and dont have a giant scouting department to help me. So I decided to hedge my bets and target 2 specific players in the third round. No real GM would pull what I did, especially for 2 third round picks, but I did, so heres my summary of day 2...err the third round
TRADE. Buffalo sent picks #71 and 147 to the Giants(from Minnesota) for the 66th pick.
With the 66th overall pick, the Buffalo Bills selected:
WR Brian Quick, Appalachian State
Quick has the size to go up for any ball thrown to him. He is the big receiver we need. Despite not being AS fast as others, he can use his size to make up for it and become a serious downfield and redzone threat. Something that we have been missing for a while. I like Quick. He reminds me of TO without the attitude, a big guy that makes plays with both size and speed.
TRADE. Buffalo sent picks #105, 124, 144 and 217 to the Jets for pick #77
With the 77th overall pick, the Buffalo Bills selected:
CB Trumaine Johnson, Montana
I looked at a lot of CBs going into this. And I tried to unsuccessfully trade up for a few of them in the late second to no luck. But Im happy with my pick in Johnson. In fact, I went out of my way to get him. Johnson is a tall fast cover corner. A lot like Patrick Peterson last year. Hes able to cover fast and tall receivers one on one which is a rarer treat for CBs. Hes a sure tackler and can do a lot of damage in the redzone with his size. His downsides are small. Some knock him for playing in a weaker conference, but he all out dominated it. His one technical flaw is in the run game. Hes not great at sheddng run blocks on the outside, but Buffalo has 3 CBs that do this quite well. We needed a shutdown corner and a lot say that Johnson could be the next great one. Plus hes a projected second rounder, and thus I feel good about my decision to move up for him.
Buffalo has one 7th round pick remaining

The Steelers will travel to Green Bay to face the Packers in Week 16. While Pittsburgh took care of the Bengals in Week 15, their playoff chances are all but gone. On the other hand, the Packers are in a serious race for the NFC North title and need a win in this contest. The Steelers proved against the Bengals that they are willing to play spoiler and with Aaron Rodgers yet to be cleared, this game should be interesting.
Despite having a better record and a home-field advantage, the Packers are 1.5-point underdogs against the Steelers. For five of the eight CBS Sports panelists, they will take the points and the Packers. The 5-3 vote stays the same, even when picking the game straight up. The two-man expert panel from Showtime's "Inside The NFL" is split, with Cris Colllinsworth picking the Steelers and Phil Simms going with the Packers.
The SB Nation six-man panel gave the Packers are 5-1 vote of confidence. SB Nation NFL editor Ryan Van Bibber was the sole vote for the Steelers.

After a few minutes of fairly even fighting, Condit got creative with his striking, unleashing a flying knee to Kim's chin, knocking Kim down. From there Condit pounced, got on top of Kim and finished him off with punches. The official time of the ending was 2 minutes, 58 seconds of the first round.
"I feel excellent," Condit said. "I stuck to the game plan."
The win establishes Condit as a welterweight title contender, and Condit wasn't bashful after the fight about saying he thinks that's exactly what he deserves.
"Am I ready for a title shot or what?" Condit said. "I certainly hope so."
Condit may just be ready. He's now 27-5, on a four-fight winning streak and has finished three straight opponents by knockout or technical knockout. He's a force in the welterweight division, and he may just be a future champion.

CapitalSource Inc., a Delaware corporation, is a commercial lender that provides financial products to small and middle market businesses nationwide and provides depository products and services to consumers in southern and central California, primarily through our wholly owned subsidiary, CapitalSource Bank (the "Bank"). References to we, us, the Company or CapitalSource refer to CapitalSource Inc. together with its subsidiaries. References to CapitalSource Bank include its subsidiaries, and references to the Parent Company refer to CapitalSource Inc. and its subsidiaries other than the Bank.
As of June 30, 2013, we had total assets of $8.7 billion, total loans of $6.5 billion, total deposits of $5.9 billion and stockholders' equity of $1.6 billion.
Our corporate headquarters is located in Los Angeles, California, and we have 21 retail bank branches located in southern and central California. Our loan origination efforts are conducted nationwide with key offices located in Chevy Chase, Maryland, Los Angeles, California, Denver, Colorado, Chicago, Illinois, and New York, New York. We also maintain a number of smaller lending offices throughout the country.
For the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, we operated as two reportable segments: the Bank and Other Commercial Finance. The Bank segment comprises our commercial lending and banking business activities, and our Other Commercial Finance segment comprises our loan portfolio and other business activities in the Parent Company. For additional information, see Note 15, Segment Data.
Current Developments
We offer a broad range of specialized senior secured, commercial loan products to small and middle-market businesses, and we offer our loan products on a nationwide basis. With a deposit gathering platform based in southern and central California, we believe our business model is well positioned to deliver a broad range of customized financial solutions to borrowers. It is our intent to continue to seek lending platforms and experienced individuals who will further augment our specialized businesses.
On July 23, 2013, the Parent Company announced that it had entered into the Merger with PacWest pursuant to which the Parent Company will merge with and into PacWest. Under the terms of the Merger, stockholders of the Parent Company will receive $2.47 in cash and 0.2837 shares of PacWest common stock for each share of CapitalSource common stock. The total value of the per share merger consideration, based on the closing price of PacWest shares on July 19, 2013, is $11.64. The transaction, currently expected to close in the first quarter of 2014, is subject to customary conditions, including the approval of bank regulatory authorities and the stockholders of both companies.
Our business focus includes operating the Bank. As of June 30, 2013 and 2012, the Bank had $7.8 billion and $7.1 billion of assets, respectively. In the second quarter of 2013, the Bank's loan portfolio grew by approximately $404.4 million or 6.8%, while the loan portfolio of the Parent Company decreased by $92.2 million or 26.4%; resulting in net loan growth of $312.2 million. Non-performing assets as of June 30, 2013 were $62.3 million, or 0.8% of total assets, an increase of $14.0 million from December 31, 2012. The allowance for loan losses as of June 30, 2013 was $105.0 million or 1.7% of loans compared to $98.9 million or 1.8% of loans as of December 31, 2012.
The Bank net interest margin for the three months ended June 30, 2013 declined to 4.79% due to several factors including: declining yields in the loan portfolio, lower amortization of net deferred loan fees/discounts and the absence of certain non-recurring items which positively benefited the first quarter margin. For the remainder of 2013, we anticipate that the net interest margin will remain relatively flat as compared to the second quarter, despite the expectation of continued declines in the loan portfolio yield. The Bank's ending loan balance for the second quarter was $324 million greater than the average balance, with the loan growth funded with a combination of borrowings and increased deposit balances. This increase in loan portfolio is expected to mitigate the anticipated decline in the loan portfolio yield for the second half of this year. Net interest margin was 5.08%, 4.84%, 4.97% and 4.95% for the three months ended March 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, September 30, 2012 and June 30, 2012, respectively.
We also continue to repay debt at the Parent Company. During the six months ended June 30, 2013, we called the 2006-1, 2006-2 and 2007-1 term debt securitizations and repaid the outstanding third-party debt of $177.2 million; we recognized no gain or loss on the extinguishment of debt. As a result, as of June 30, 2013, we had no outstanding term debt securitizations. The only remaining debt at the Parent Company is the subordinated debt which begins to mature in December 2035.

The Social Media Fad is Ending
By Steve McKeeFriday, October 29, 2010
I recently attended a confab of senior-level executives who oversee online and digital activities at a variety of leading corporations. While what happened at the conference was enlightening, I think I may have been more enlightened by what I didn't see happening: social media activity.
I have to admit, that confused me. My first clue was when I asked around and nobody new the conference hashtag. In fact, many people didn't even know what a hashtag was. Despite that, I was surprised at how little Twitter activity was happening in and around the conference, and even more surprised at how few of the participants had Twitter profiles at all. So I checked Facebook. Participation there was a bit more common, although most attendees had inaccessible profiles or used them for personal reasons only. LinkedIn showed a bit more representation, but it was apparent that most attendee profiles had not been actively managed. And forget about applications beyond the Big Three. Foursquare? What's that?
As I milled around the conference I began asking these online elite about their dearth of social media activity. The feedback I generally received was (in so many words), "been there, done that, not interested." I was stunned. It's one thing for a random person stopped on the street (or even other members of corporate management) to not get it, but these were the digital glitterati. It just didn't make sense.
Upon reflection, however, it does. The Great Curiosity about social media is coming to an end. By now everyone who's anyone in the digital world has attended the breakout sessions, read the you-ought-to-be-doing-this blogs and given social media a shot. Perhaps not surprisingly, many have found it wanting on their personal relevance meter. Some just didn't give it the time or attention to really understand how it works.
Does that make it irrelevant for their companies? Of course not, as case study after case study demonstrates. As with other forms of media, however, people naturally tend to gravitate towards those which are most personally relevant to them. If these busy professionals "don't get" or "don't like" or "don't have time for" social media, then no one does, goes the thinking (at least among some).
I have no problem with the Great Curiousity heading towards its nadir. It had to happen sooner or later, and it allows us to more fully enter the Age of Strategy, where the best marketers in every medium dwell. Those who care to find ways to leverage social media will do so, content to let their less strategic counterparts say "it doesn't work", just as they do other forms of communication. And the results will show.
My company, and our clients, are reaping positive returns from our social media strategies. We've fully incorporated social media into our integrated marketing planning model, and we're seeing great things happen. Perhaps most exciting is that we know we've only just scratched the surface of what's possible.
Let the Age of Strategy begin.

It seemed that funding Big Band would be difficult, but completing all the stretch goals seemed near impossible, but I guess I underestimated the skullgirls community (plus a boost from the Bronies no less). Here are all the awesome stuff earned by the supporters and all people that own the game: [img]http://labzerogames.com/images/IGG/igg_stretch_goal_bar.png[/img] It's a beautifull thing that a game that is such a labor of love is rewarded with the love of a great community, so congratulations to Mike Z, Alex Ahad, and all the Skullgirls team and community.

But now with a recent leak of DLC costumes I can't quite decide if Zero's new Mega Man X outfit is the biggest troll ever or an act of fanservice. What do you think?

You see, since Spanish is my first language I'm just a bit confused with Sakurai's statement "Theres a character named Ness who has appeared in the Smash Bros. series [b]up until now[/b], and Lucas is very similar." The meaning of that "up until now" leaves me just a little bit of doubt (or is it wishful thinking?) as if Ness really got his ass handed by Lucas. And since most of Lucas's moves are quite similar to the ones of Ness, his future is dire. How do you, my fellow Destructoiders feel about this tragic turn of events? or is there someone ready to dance on Ness's grave?

After the closing bell, InterMune (ITMN) shares collapsed over 80% after the FDA decided not to approve a drug used to treat idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, though regulators requested another clinical trial.
During the regular session, Alcoa (AA), Caterpillar (CAT) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) were the Dow's biggest laggards.
But better-than-expected earnings from Pfizer (PFE) and Merck (MRK) were helping lift those shares higher, joining Wal-Mart (WMT) as the only Dow performers trading in positive territory.The Dow was seeing volume of 242 million shares, compared with an average of 200 million. Pfizer surpassed analysts' expectations with adjusted first-quarter earnings of 60 cents a share. Although the company reaffirmed its guidance for year-end adjusted earnings of $2.10 to $2.20 a share, it lowered its 2012 outlook on account of the recently enacted health care legislation. Pfizer's stock gained 2.1% to $17.26. Merck beat estimates with an adjusted first-quarter profit of 83 cents a share on sales of $11.42 billion. Merck shares climbed 1.5%, to $35.81. Archer Daniels Midland (ADM) reported a third-quarter profit of 65 cents a share and sales that rose 2% to $15.14 billion, which was below the $15.65 billion in sales that analysts had projected. The stock lost 5.4%, to $26.22. UBS (UBS) swung to a first-quarter profit of 2.2 billion Swiss francs ($2.02 billion), topping expectations. The stock fell off 5.5%, to $14.78. CVS Caremark (CVS) beat Wall Street expectations by 2 cents but fell short of the $24.12 billion in sales that analysts had projected with first-quarter revenue of $23.76 billion. CVS shares shed 1.6%, to $36.48. Shares of MasterCard (MA) improved 0.2% following better-than-expected first-quarter results with a profit of $3.46 a share on sales of $1.31 billion. Sirius XM (SIRI) posted adjusted earnings of a penny a share, compared with the break-even quarter that analysts had been expecting. Sales rose to $670.6 million but missed expectations for revenue of $671.3 million. Sirius shares traded 4.1% lower at $1.18. Shares of financial data provider Interactive Data (IDC) gained 0.5% on news that it agreed to be acquired by private-equity groups Silver Lake and Warburg Pincus in a deal valued at $3.4 billion. Nissan said air-bag problems forced the car manufacturer to recall almost 135,000 of its Infiniti G35 models, according to an Associated Press report. American depositary shares of BP (BP) traded in positive territory today after getting pummeled for the past few sessions. The company has come under increasing scrutiny after a rig it leased exploded, setting off a chain of events resulting in an ever-expanding oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico. BP gained 2% today.

Last night, we found out that Renan Barao would indeed be removed from his his bout with Ivan Menjivar and bumped up into a UFC interim bantamweight title fight with Urijah Faber at UFC 148. Well, it didn't take long for the UFC to find a new opponent for Menjivar on the July 7th card (via Fox Sports):
Mike Easton has been selected to face Ivan Menjivar in a bantamweight bout at UFC 148 on July 7 in Las Vegas.
"Easton is one of the bantamweight division's rising contenders who's now going after the biggest win of his career, but he has to get past the incredibly dynamic and much more experienced Menjivar," UFC president Dana White said. "Both fighters have verbally agreed to the bout."
Easton (12-1) won his last UFC bout by decision over Jared Papazian in January. He was expected to face Yves Jabouin at UFC on Fuel 3 earlier this week but had to bow out with an injury. Menjivar (24-8) is 3-0 in the UFC and stopped John Albert in the first round of his last bout.

|Situated in the northeast of the Cyclades between Tinos, Syros, Delos and Naxos. Mykonos has a rugged form with an area of 105 km² and a population of about 9500 inhabitants.
Capital : Mykonos (Chora) Main Port : Tagou (New port)
With its white houses and windmills, Mykonos is perhaps the most typical of the Greek islands. It attracts thousands of visitors. The island is best known for its lively nights. Mykonos has beautiful sandy beaches.
Mykonos is the smallest of the inhabited islands. Its rocky terrain rises from the sea to form hills and valleys where the two highest points are two small mountains of 369 and 392 meters. Geologically, the island is mainly composed of granite in some places was remarkably sculpted by the erosive action of wind, sea and sun. Deposits of clay and barite, a mineral used as a high quality lubricant in the process of oil drilling, have been extensively exploited in recent years.
There is no such thing as streams on the island, but many seasonal streams, two of them have been exploited by a system of dams to create large reservoirs. Desalination of seawater is also used the water needs of tourists and locals.
We go there mainly, to take advantage of its numerous beaches, its nightlife and its constant party atmosphere. Mykonos is also the ideal base for exploring the archaeological sanctuary of Delos, on the small island of the same name, located to the west of Mykonos.
Getting There
By Air: Domestic flights from Athens three to six trips a day, depending on the season. There are also domestic flights from Heraklion, Rhodes and Thessaloniki. Some European flights can serve the island directly.
By ferry: 3 to 4 daily connections from the port of Piraeus, depending on the season. The crossing takes 5 to 6 hours depending on the category of the ferry.
Also from the islands of Andros, Tinos, Syros: several connections per day. And from the islands of Naxos, Paros and Santorini: two connections a week.

By C.V. Moore
Representatives from Mountain Transit Authority addressed Fayetteville Town Council on Thursday about the need for more services in town. They are hoping the town will consider financially supporting the MTA at a greater level than in the past.
In return, they say they have developed a new proposed route that would run through all the residential districts of the town and stop at shopping centers. It would run 4 times a day.
"You need more public transportation in this area, including Fayetteville, than you have," said MTA spokesperson Russell Haynes.
"Right now it's too long a delay between the time you get on the bus and when you come home."
They are asking for 75 cents per person in town, a total of $2,169.
Also on Thursday, the town approved the sale of its 5-acre property at Fayette Town Center shopping mall, next to Lowe's Home Improvement.
The town negotiated with Realty Link, a property development company, on a price of $200,000. The company has 90 days due diligence from the signing of a letter of understanding approved on Thursday.
Council did not disclose what will be developed on the property.
"They are holding that close to the belt right now," said the town's attorney, Larry Harrah.
The council discussed and approved a letter to Congressman Nick Rahall about electrical reliability issues.
Representatives from AEP are asking the Fayette County Commission, Oak Hill, and Fayetteville to sign the letter asking for more dialogue and cooperation from the National Park Service (NPS) on access issues.
One of the electric lines that feeds the town of Fayetteville must be accessed by company linemen through NPS property.
As it stands, AEP says they must call 911, even during an emergency, who then contacts NPS, which makes the call on whether they can enter the property.
The utility says it wants to work with the park on the issue.
An AEP employee was nearly arrested by park police at his home for going on the property, according to a representative at the meeting.
The town was to host a spring cleanup at Town Park on Saturday.
Town manager Bill Lanham reported he is looking into the dilapidated building registry program implemented recently by the City of Oak Hill. Lanham says Fayetteville is working toward adopting a similar ordinance that would require dilapidated properties in town limits to be registered and abated.
Esther Morey of Coda Mountain Academy of Music approached council with a funding request for help with running a summer music camp in Fayetteville. The contribution would help fund rental of a camp facility at New River Gorge Gateway Center and scholarships.
"We would appreciate monies for scholarships so as many of our local area kids could experience this, because it opens up a new world to them about what can be achieved," she said.
A decision on the police department's reporting system was tabled until May, when a representative from one of the companies can address council.
A free service through the county's new 911 Center may pose speed and reliability issues. But purchasing a system from another vendor will cost over $20,000.
The town must be current on filing its records with the state or it is not eligible for federal grants from the Department of Justice.
Council approved a resolution to authorize an $18,000 grant application to the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection for an electronics recycling program.
They also approved a resolution to change the scope of a West Virginia Community Participation Program grant for $5,500 to purchase playground equipment at Town Park.

A natural birth center in Charleston may be forced to close its doors after they say the Department of Environmental Health and Control is reinterpreting one of its regulations .
The regulation under question is state Regulation 61-102, Sec. D.6.a.1 which states, "A physician must be on call and available to provide medical assistance at he birthing center at all times that it is serving the public."
Lesley Rathbun, director and owner of the Charleston Birth Place, said DHEC has never enforced the regulation in that way.
"They've been interpreting it to mean the physician is available over the phone for almost 20 years now," Rathbun said.
Now, Rathbun said, DHEC is forcing her center to have the on-call physician come to the center to diagnose the problem before sending the mother to the hospital.
Natural birthing centers, like the one in North Charleston, staff midwives to assist with childbirth. The center is not equipped to administer Anesthesia or perform Cesarean sections. The DHEC standards are in place to protect a mother and her unborn child if an emergency does arise.
According to an official from DHEC, the state organization started taking a harder look at natural birth centers after a mother suffered a miscarriage. The mother was under the care of a midwife at a Fort Mill birthing center but was transferred to a hospital once complications arose.
Only 15 percent of mothers who are in labor at her birth center have to be transferred to the hospital. Many of those, Rathbun said, are for non-emergencies such as long labor. True emergency transfers make up less than 1 percent of trips to the hospital, according to Rathbun.
Despite those low numbers, DHEC did send a letter to the center saying they have 15 days to come up with an action plan to follow the regulations, or it will be forced to close.
Since word started spreading throughout the Lowcountry about the possible closing, Rathbun said many women have come forward to support natural birth
"There's been a really big response from women because it's a woman's choice as to where she gives birth and with whom," Rathbun said. "That's a basic, civil and reproductive right for women."
Alison Inglis is one of those new mothers who had her first child at the center. When interviewed by News 2, the newborn boy was less than an hour old.
Inglis said the new interpretation of making the doctor come to the center prior to sending the mother to the hospital could be detrimental to the health of the mother and her child.
"Why would you waste time rather than going to a place or a facility, like a hospital, immediately when the healthcare professional in charge, a midwife, deems that necessary," Inglis said.
A spokesperson for the center said that the center is planning to sue DHEC. Details of that lawsuit have yet to be revealed.

JPS Allows Anonymous Bullying ReportingBy Lawayne Childrey | Published 01 Oct 2013 09:09am |
Jackson Public Schools are part of a growing number of school districts across Mississippi making it easier for students to report malicious or criminal activity. JPS officials are now allowing anonymous reporting of bullying or any other suspicious behaviors.
Bullying has taken on a whole new face since Thea Faulkner was in school.
"If we had an argument 90 percent of the times that I remember it was settled, it was handled. It didn't fester as it does now."
Faulkner is a program manager with Parents for Public Schools of Jackson. She says with the increased use of email, texting and other social media a student can be the victim of bullying without anyone ever knowing except them and their perpetrator.
"So that layer of secrecy adds to the bullying. And I love the fact that this Tip Line is out there. Because what it says is I'm not going to remain silent on this, I will report it." She said, "And if I don't have the courage to publicly report it it will still be reported."
With the new Tip Line students, parents and community members can anonymously report anything that jeopardizes the safety of students or anyone in the community from street violence, to theft to school bullying. Gerald Jones is the districts campus enforcement chief.
"We want a connection with the community. Our community is our schools. We also have an extended community which is the areas around our schools and obviously the parents of the students who go here and our faculty. So any vehicle or conduit that we can use to get that information so that we can act upon it to aid us in keeping our schools safe is a benefit for us. So that's why this is so important that we have some means of getting information."
Jones says its Tip Line which can be accessed through a phone number, email address and website. According to the website stopbullying.gov kids who are bullied can experience physical and mental health issues. A new law requires all Mississippi schools to have a policy in place to deal with bullying and harassment.

BROWNSBURG — The Chamber of Commerce here has new digs for 2013, and Executive Director Brian Rose says he's invigorated, having the chamber office in the heart of the business community.
The chamber's new home is at 67 Garner Road, Suite 500. An open house is scheduled for 4 to 6 p.m. Feb. 21.
The chamber had previously had offices at Brownsburg Town Hall but as part of the town's budget process last year, it was determined that the chamber would have to vacate.
"We were approached by a local businessman, Richard Sutton, and he had some space available and he believes in the chamber and wanted to make things happen," Rose said. "He offered a deal we couldn't refuse.
"We're out in the business community. That's the biggest asset. We are located out and surrounded by businesses, whereas previously we were surrounded by governmental organizations."
Rose said one thing that he'll miss is the flow of visitors the chamber office was able to help where they were in town hall, regardless of whether those visitors were there for chamber business. He said there was a lot of opportunity to meet people in the community they otherwise wouldn't have.
"It was very humbling to see all the business community step up and support their local chamber," he said about the tough negotiations last year that led to the relocation. "We've been around since 1982 and we even had retired members that came out to support what the chamber meant to them. They made a very strong statement to the council and community at large that we are a key component to our community."
Earlier in the week, Town Manager Grant Kleinhenz unveiled a plan to set aside funds for facade improvements to older buildings in town. Rose said things like that can only help businesses grow.
"You always want the support of the town when you open up any business," he said. "The business community is excited to see what packages they put together from a facade point of view."
As far as the new office, Rose said he's settling in and getting down to business.
"Now that we've gotten more settled into our new atmosphere, we can get more focused on the businesses in town," he said. "We have a good partnership with the Hendricks County Economic Development and we look forward to being there for businesses, not only to advocate for what they need but to get their name out there."
Rose said he will continue to report quarterly to the town council as to what the chamber is doing in an effort to gain as much town support as possible.
"I'm excited about rolling up the sleeves and getting to work," he said. "The businesses need (the town's) support. Everything goes hand in hand and we are really excited."

The Lee County Sheriff's Office is searching for a suspect responsible for a copper theft at a Bonita Springs business last weekend.
This is the latest in several copper thefts from the business in the past several months.
"Obviously we're in a difficult time in business and to have stuff stolen makes it difficult for us to run a profitable business," said owner Ed Soriero.
On Monday morning, deputies were dispatched to Cable Wiring Specialists, located at 24331 Production Circle.
A project manager at the business, John Trudel, told deputies that the business was locked up on Friday evening. On Monday morning, he received a call from the alarm company regarding an activation of the alarm.
Trudel says he canceled the alarm because he expected it to be set off by an employee arriving at work.
When Trudel arrived, he discovered several doors pried open so entry could be made into the business.
He found that a box of solid copper split bolts valued at $400 had been taken.
The suspect is described as a white male, approximately 25-30 years old, with a slim to medium build. He was wearing a ball cap, short sleeve shirt, checkered shorts, and black and white sneakers.
Other business owners now say they're also concerned, taking extra steps to make sure it's well lit at night, and they're also asking deputies to patrol more often.
"I would love to see that we had more patrols and hopefully get the people who have done this because you got hard working people trying to make a living and it's just horrible people are out there stealing," Soriero said.
On September 12th, security cameras caught a suspect entering the business and removing eight boxes containing 500 feet of green copper grounding wiring.
Trudel believes the business was also burglarized on August 27th and September 3rd, but he did not notify LCSO.
LCSO asks anyone who recognizes the suspect to call them at 477-1000, or Crime Stoppers at 1-800-780-TIPS.

Today we're excited to introduce you to DeniseMcGill. She's our "Rock Around the Clock" 50′s Contributor on Squidoo.
Tell us a little bit about your niche topic.
I'm the "Rock Around the Clock" 50′s contributor. I love 50′s music, 50′s TV, 50′s movies, 50′s clothes and 50′s diners. There is something really charming about petticoats and poodle skirts. I even knit cardigans for my husband. It's all good. As a matter of fact, I'm a 50′s baby.
Tell us about the moment you fell in love with your topic. Was it an immediate thing or did it happen over time?
I guess I have always loved black and white movies and TV. There is something artistic and creative about it. I remember my Mom singing with the radio and I learned the words to "Moon River" from her beautiful voice. But most of all, I really enjoyed Happy Days and Laverne and Shirley. They were charming shows about the joys of the 50′s.
Who influenced you most?
I think my mother had the most influence in my life. If she didn't like Elvis, I didn't listen to Elvis. If she loved Ballet and art, I loved ballet and art. She sewed all our clothes to save money in the 50′s, I did the same with my children. She taught me to knit and crochet. She was and always will be, my hero and mentor.

Shortly after beginning care, Katie McNichols, a registered nurse at Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital, noted her patient was withdrawn, avoided conversations and was unwilling to even try to walk.
Within a day McNichols helped the patient walk 20 feet. With this breakthrough the patient expressed to McNichols her desire to eventually travel again. With continued daily encouragement from McNichols, she had the patient walking 150 feet, sitting in a chair and eating meals. The patient was discharged and hopes to once again travel to visit family across the US.
"Katie's persistence with a patient who was initially disengaged in her plan of care allowed her to make a difference in this patient's outcome," said Lisa Lockett, nursing float pool manager. "She never gave up."
For her exceptional commitment to patient care, McNichols was awarded the November Daisy Award.
The DAISY Foundation began in 1999 in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, son of Bonnie and Mark, who passed away at age 33 of complication of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (IPT). Being grateful for all of the nurses who cared for their son, the Barnes family established the foundation, which has had over 200,000 nurses nominated in seven different countries.

This just in. Carolina will keep a 4-3 defense. What does that mean? It means that they need a star player to anchor their D. It means that they have a couple of late rounders as starting DT's that just won't cut it. It means that the way Fairley played in the BCS championship, they'll probably select Nick Fairley as their pick with the #1 overall selection in the draft. It means that for all of you hoping Nick Fairley would fall to us, it probably won't happen.

This is my report card after 6 games for the club. Open for comments, however, these are just my opinions based upon what I have seen on the ice. I am not an NHL coach or scout, so dont kill me! LOL - The biggest problem I can see is the breakout. We dont have one! It seems like Streit is the only one who can make a legitimate pass to a forward from the defensive zone through the neutral zone. Everyone else is just dumping and getting rid of the puck. Cappy should also consider moving Martin on one of the top two PP units and planting him in front of the net.
New York Islanders Roster
Josh Bailey 12 C Has not been awful, but offensive limitations abound.
Blake Comeau 57 D Could quickly be losing his trade value. Looks lazy and unmotivated.
Rick DiPietro 39 INC Poor Ricky. Gotta feel bad for the guy. All he wants to do is play.
Mark Eaton 4 C Servicable, but does look real slow in this new speed NHL.
Trevor Gillies 14 INC Cannot grade on 3 minutes per game.
Michael Grabner 40 B Been creating by using his blazing speed. Only a matter of time.
Travis Hamonic 3 B+ Solid in my opinion, 2nd best D-man on the club at his age says a lot.
Milan Jurcina 27 INC Injured since camp.
Andrew MacDonald 47 C Does not look the same as before the hip injury. Could just need more time.
Matt Martin 17 B Been doing his job real well. Banging bodies and throwing pucks at net.
Al Montoya 35 B Solid and steady. What happened Cappy? Did he piss in your cornflakes? LOL
Mike Mottau 10 D Always looks like he is in panic mode. On and off his skates.
Matt Moulson 26 B Still grinding and going to the net. Getting chances.
Evgeni Nabokov 20 B Very good. Showcasing for trade?
Nino Niederreiter 25 INC Injured since camp. Where does he fit at this point?
Frans Nielsen 51 B- Looks indecisive with the puck. Has to create more. Gets a pass for always excellent D.
Kyle Okposo 21 D Huge disappointment. Future captain? He has to figure out what kind of player he is first.
Jay Pandolfo 29 B Doing exactly what is asked. No more, no less.
P.A. Parenteau 15 B Part of the TMP line. Underappreciated.
Marty Reasoner 16 D Giveaway city. Cant seem to keep up with the game. Rather have Zenon back.
Brian Rolston 11 B Still shows glimpses of good speed. Carrying his role.
Steve Staios 24 C+ I think he has actually been pretty good for a 38 yr old. Or is Streit covering up for him?
Mark Streit 2 A Best player on the club. All around steady influence at both ends of the rink.
John Tavares 91 A Top forward has taken a huge leap this season. Looks 1000% stronger on skates.
