Congratulations to Wyatt, Crackback, Klecko and other people whom I'm sorry I'm not familiar enough to cite yet. You guys really pegged it. You really know players, you really know football and you really know the Jets. Like a lot of people, I feel a lot more knowledgeable since I found this site.
On the other hand, I was dead wrong. Would the jets put a priority on offense? No. Would the Jets look to upgrade the offensive line? No. Specifically, would the Jets try to replace RT? No.
On a tactical level, I loved the Jets draft. They wanted to address the pass rush. At 16, they got arguably the best pure pass rusher in the draft. They also got a guy in the 3rd round who not only has pass rush potential, but who is fast enough to maybe cover a tight end, and shoot gaps and deliver tremendous hits. I'm not too worried about where they'll play in the various schemes, Ryan is one of the best in the business in figuring this out. On offense, they finally got a guy who can go deep and make safeties think twice before moving forward in run support or underneath routes. Hill can also block on the edge, an important element in the Jets offense. I like all three players.
On a strategic level, though, I still worry about the team. The Jets are gamblers. Their gambling in the draft manifested itself this year not so much in their trademark trade ups, but in the value placed on potential vs. production. Their top three picks all have very impressive measurables, but none of them showed solid production against quality opponents. I'm not buying the whole BPA thing either, they targeted specific functions and specific players, and they got 'em.
The Jets gamble on character. Their notable free agent signings have been a lineup of talented, but notorious screwups who other teams have gladly gotten rid of. Their most important signing this year has not only character issues, just look at him with his shirt off, but is a major injury risk as well. in Coples, the Jets got a guy who would have never fallen as fas as 16 without universal reports of a lack of effort, and who knows how much farther he would have fallen had the Jets not taken him. Their best player on defense is squabbling about his contract two years after his last holdout, and their most vocal Ryan advocate is seemingly being shown the door. On offense, the most important position on the field is a source of controversy instead of leadership, and one of the highest paid players quits on the team. The lack of leadership on the field puts an enormous level of pressure on the coaching staff to generate the level of consistent peak effort required of a winning NFL team.
Finally, the Jets gamble on their style of play. The Jets are betting that they can produce a defense dominant enough to carry a mediocre offense. 4 of the last 5 no. 1 picks have been on defense. The Jets haven't drafted a premiere offensive player since 2006. The Jets rank 5 in defense and 25th in offense and they draft defense. The Jets stockpile a deep defensive line, but neglect a depleted offensive line.
Popular culture is transfixed by high profile gamblers, and NFL fans love great defenses. But they like winning more. The Jets were 8-8 last year, and almost any objective analyst would say they have have had no better than the third best offseason in their Division. The Jets like their draft, but so do a whole lot of other teams, most notably the Patriots. The Patriots have been so good for so long, and they aren't going away anytime soon. Maybe to try and beat them. you need to gamble. So let's drink to the notion that all this talent on defense can play to their potential and stifle the Patriots vaunted offense. 7 come 11, Daddy needs a new pair of shoes.

The Gentlemen have doubtless been more explicit in their answer to you than they have to me, as to the impediments which forbid such a measure, but I have good reason to suppose that its impracticability depends upon the disadvantageous rate of Exchange between Amsterdam & Paris at this time.

Basketball celebrates seniors in huge win over Bennett
February 05, 2014
Winston-Salem, NC-The Salem College basketball team celebrated its four seniors with a 111-34 win against Bennett to sweep the season series. LaSashia Connelly (Morganton, NC), Jasmine Shabazz (Buffalo, NY), Satavia Taylor (Chicago, IL), and Tiffany Wildgoose (Nassau, Bahamas) were all honored at half-time for their distinguished career. The team tied the program's season best 17 wins to improve to 17-4, and Bennett falls to 3-13.
The game was never close throughout as Salem jumped out early and never let up on the visitors. The Spirits had a 59-18 advantage at the break. They continued their hot-shooting in the second half.
Salem shot 53.6% from the field in the game and 57.9% from behind the three-point line for some of their best numbers of the season. They forced 30 turnovers on 21 steals, and they held a dominating 55-22 advantage on the boards.
Taylor was on fire from the field. She went 10-12 from the field and 5-7 from behind the three-point line for 29 points. Shabazz had a double-double of 16 points and 11 rebounds. Connelly and Shabazz led the team with 4 steals each, and Connelly had a game-high 6 assists. Wildgoose finished the game with 5 points and 3 rebounds.

FOX 8 News received this press release from the New Orleans Fire Department Tuesday evening:
New Orleans, LA. – Tuesday, October 09, 2012 at 1:46 pm New Orleans Fire Department (NOFD) personnel were dispatched to a remote section of eastern New Orleans to investigate a possible fire in the marsh. NOFD personnel did a visual assessment from the Green Bridge and levees surrounding the area to determine the area's accessibility, wind direction and the size of the area involved. The area of the marsh found burning by investigating crews is; uninhabited, approximately 2 miles in circumference located west of I-510 between the Inter-Coastal Waterway and Bayou Bienvenue. A NW wind is currently blowing the smoke out over the Inter-Coastal Waterway and into an uninhabited portion of St. Bernard Parish.
Tomorrow morning the NOFD and Mosquito Control will do an aerial assessment to get a better indication of the scope of this fire and locate any hot-spots that may still be involved. Members of the NOFD will also go out on all-terrain vehicles to try and make a determination of what, if any, type of suppression activity is warranted.

JoePos on Playoff Expansion
JoePos considers an extra wild card spot on SI. After reading it, I'm left feeling similar to how I do now...which leads me to the thought, if there's this much angst about how unfair it is the TB and TOR (though really, it feels like there's this much angst to the idea of BOS or NYY missing the playoffs), then why not go to 4/8 4-teams divisions (outside the whole needing 2 teams thing)? Ostensibly, BAL and TOR have enough money to compete (reasonably well) with NYY and BOS, right?

text: SPRINGFIELD, Mo. -- An exhibition game with perennial NCAA Division I power Duke, the annual "Bank of Bolivar Highway 13 Catfight" with Southwest Baptist and a December trip to south Florida are among the highlights on the 2013-14 basketball schedule of the defending NCAA Division II national champion Drury Panthers released on Wednesday. By virtue of winning the D-II national title in Atlanta on April 7, the Panthers earned an invitation to visit Duke and play an exhibition game at Cameron Indoor Stadium, a tradition started by coach Mike Krzyzewski in the mid-2000s. Drury will take on Duke on Saturday, November 2 in Durham, NC. The Blue Devils were 30-6 last season, including 16-0 at Cameron. "We feel extremely honored to have the opportunity to kick off our season at Duke in one of the great historic venues in college basketball and with one of the true legends of the game on the other bench in Mike Krzyzewski," said Drury coach Steve Hesser, now entering his 10th year at the helm of the Panthers. "It will certainly give us an extreme early preview of the intensity we expect to see against all of our opponents this season. As the defending national champions. we are certainly going to get everybody's best shot." The Panthers will officially open their 2013-14 campaign the following Friday (November 8) when they take on Webster University at the O'Reilly Family Event Center, then will make the short trip to Bolivar the following Tuesday (November 12) for their annual "Bank of Bolivar Highway 13 Catfight" showdown with the Southwest Baptist Bearcats. Other non-conference highlights for the Panthers include the return of the Comfort Inn Thanksgiving Classic on November 29-30 with games against Northwest Missouri State and Cameron. The Friday game will once again feature the Second Annual "Free Friday" promotion, with all fans admitted for free and holiday-related giveaways and drawings of several prizes throughout the game. Drury will open Great Lakes Valley Conference play - also as the league's defending champion - when the Panthers entertain rival Missouri Science and Technology on December 5th as part of the annual "Drury Faculty/Staff Appreciation Night" ceremonies. After completing final exams, the Panthers will then journey to south Florida to take on Livingstone (Wednesday, December 18) and host Nova Southeastern (Thursday, December 19) in Fort Lauderdale. Drury will jump back into GLVC play from there, hosting Saint Joseph's (Friday, January 3) and Indianapolis (Sunday, January 5). Other home dates pit the Panthers in league action against Rockhurst on Thursday, January 16 and William Jewell (Saturday, January 18, Great Southern "Throwback Day"); versus Missouri-St. Louis on Thursday, January 23 and Maryville on Saturday, January 25 ("Overflow The O'"); and vs. Wisconsin-Parkside on Thursday, February 13 ("Pink Zone For Breast Cancer Awareness") and Lewis on Saturday, February 15 (Homecoming/Senior Day). The DU road schedule in GLVC play includes a tough swing through Bellarmine (Louisville, Ky.) and Southern Indiana (Evansville) on January 9 and January 11, and a pair of new GLVC foes in early February, with trips to league newcomer Truman State in Kirksville on February 1 and second-year GLVC member McKendree in Lebanon, Ill., on February 6. Drury, which won the GLVC Championship post-season tourney last March after claiming the West regular season title with a 16-2 mark, returns five of its top eight players from last year's squad that finished 31-4 overall and set a school record by winning its final 23 games. Season tickets start at just $105.

SOURCE: Student Conservation Association (SCA)
WASHINGTON, DC, February 28, 2013 /3BL Media/ – More than 200 college and university students will spend their spring breaks volunteering in some of our nation's greatest national parks – foregoing the traditional week at the beach. Students will improve park habitats and prepare for careers in an increasingly "green" economy by participating in all-expense-paid programs provided by the Student Conservation Association (SCA), including:
Alternative Spring Break is part of an expanded partnership between American Eagle Outfitters and SCA, which now, for the first time, involves in-store promotion of SCA activities in more than 800 American Eagle Outfitters stores as well as an online contest enabling the public to determine which national park will benefit from the next project stemming from this six-year collaboration.
NPS Academy members will be introduced to a range of National Park Service careers through seminars, workshops, field trips, and recreational activities. After successfully completing the March course, participants will serve in SCA internships this summer at a variety of national parks to gain the skills and experience necessary to be eligible for employment with the NPS.
"The National Park Service estimates that 12% of its employees started their careers with SCA," notes SCA President & CEO Dale Penny. "NPS Academy is another way in which SCA provides college students with a proven pathway to professional opportunities, while helping our national parks build a more inclusive and relevant 21st century workforce."
Through Alternative Spring Break, NPS Academy, urban conservation programs and additional award-winning initiatives, SCA fosters an enduring ethic of stewardship among young adults aged 15-25. Founded in 1957, SCA has engaged more than 70,000 individuals in parks, forests and cities, and 60% of SCA alumni remain active conservationists through their careers and community activities.
"I want to preserve our national parks – the forests, mountains and lakes we all take refuge in," says Jessica Jia, a 19-year-old civil engineering major. "With this opportunity, I find myself at the doorstep of a career spent doing what I love – enjoying, preserving, and sharing the wonders of the outdoors. I can't wait to start!"

- Kingdom Hearts the animated series almost happened
Speaking with Dengeki PlayStation, Tetsuya Nomura has revealed more tidbits about Kingdom Hearts III.
Nomura stresses that the game is very early in development, so much so that not all of the worlds have even been chosen yet. Additionally, the trailer shown at this year's E3 was not running in real-time (although it would apparently look much the same if it were). This means that we can expect new outfits and better camera controls in the future.
Kingdom Hearts is well-known for its "convoluted" storyline. All of the games, console and handheld, have been leading up to Kingdom Hearts III, which promises to conclude the storyline featuring the Xehanort antagonist. At the same time, however, the developers are looking into ways to make the game more accessible for those new to the series.
In addition to releasing on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, the development team is also considering smartphone/tablet support and online elements. How these features will be implemented, if at all, remains to be seen.
Expect more information at the Tokyo Game Show later this year, and also at the upcoming D23 Expo Japan, where Nomura hopes to join some of the voice actors from the series on-stage.
Via: Final Fantasy FXN
Well, I kind of figured it was a baby in the development stage considering they showed about five seconds of gameplay (I'm over exaggerating, obviously). Still, the graphics are purdy. Man, this and FFXV are going to look so damn good on the PS4. I'm going to end up licking my TV screen when I play them from the deliciousness of the graphics…
Sorry, got carried away there. XD
It may be early, but I feel that Square did well in showing it. It sort of gave people hope.
And who knows, with the Osaka team working on this, they may have a finished product in a few years.
Ehren Rivers
As much as I'm looking forward to this, I'd much prefer to get 1.5 and 2.5 out of the way first. Preferably both on the PS3. After the announcement of it being in development, people keep screaming like they expect the game to come out next year.
"developers are looking into ways to make the game more accessible for those new to the series"
All I needed to hear this game needs to work as a standalone title. Give us a proper adventure and not just something that relies on all its predecessors.
Oh 2.5 is definitely coming, I can pretty much guarantee it with the accuracy of a pregnancy test (99%), and I believe it'll be hear next year at that!
Now Kingdom Hearts III on the other hand, I honestly dont understand how people believe it'll be here next year, or even the year after. Ever since its announcement at E3, people have been screaming that its finally "coming soon", even when at the event itself, Nomura stressed that it was in early development. I mean, if they havent even finished PICKING the Disney Worlds (the bulk of Kingdom Hearts) how do they believe it'll be here anytime before 4th quarter 2015 at the earliest is beyond me (I'm honestly expecting 4th quarter 2016).
Excitement is good, but people are letting it cloud sound judgement. 2015 will probably be the first year since Nomura made his "yearly" Kingdom Hearts promise that we may miss out on a title, unless they decide on remastering KH3D for PS4 or something, which would be doable with the touchscreen on the dual shock 4.
They basically just announced the title so that people could finally rest their fears and breathe a sigh of relief that Kingdom Hearts 3 is actually a real tangible product that'll actually release, and not just some mythical thing that's spoken of only in code.
No you, you havent gotten carried away, as I actually feel the same
Tifa Lockhart
Could someone please petition to Nomura to change the graphic style of KH3. I really do not like the this visual at all.
John Sotomayor
If you don't like it, maybe you should write up the petition yourself. =)
Keep in mind that this is far from the final product, and that the Kingdom Shader will make the characters look different in each world they travel to.
John Sotomayor
I agree, but at the same time, the game needs to act as a conclusion to all of the games we've played so far. It'll be difficult for them to strike that balance, but I think Nomura and his team can pull it off.
John Sotomayor
I agree, I want 1.5 and 2.5 first. It's a shame we haven't heard much about 2.5 yet, though.
Panos Dek
I really don't expect to see this game in stores before 2015! I would say fall 2015 or early 2016! Although I would love to have it sooner! SE gives us games a bit too late, but they have proved that they deserve it! They make unforgotten games!
I hope these new "Kingdom shaders" or what they called them are still in prototype. I really disliked how it made the characters looked. I much prefer the cartoon-y style over the animated-style. Makes them look like they're in a Pixar movie instead of a classical Disney movie. xD
Ya, I don't expect it anytime soon either, and I really do wonder why it was announced at E3. I'd much prefer it to be announced next year where it's actually closer to development. Ah well, I can wait. My hype died out a few years after KH2, so I'll save it for when it's actually here.
Ehren Rivers
While I'm sure it'll be a proper adventure, it doesn't seem likely that KHIII will work as a standalone title. It's tying up plot threads and conflicts from SEVEN other games, so it's going to have to relate to at least some of them pretty heavily.
I feel like I'm the only one who reeeeaaally likes the way the visuals look. To me at least, it seems like a natural evolution of the series's graphics.
Ehren Rivers
Nope, I like them too. It was VERY surprising at first, given the similar style they've had across the games on all of the other platforms, but I don't feel like it's a bad choice. If anything, I'm interested to see what it will make things look like in different worlds.
Cloud AC
I do like the visuals as well. Reminds me of the CGI openings and endings from past games. It looks next-gen without ditching the cartoony style.
Though they did take the graphics in a direction I didnt expect, I still like the outcome.
I expected real time graphics to look at worst like the high poly cutscene model here
or here
or more like the CG model from 2 as seen here (which honestly I would have preferred a lot more)
compared to what we actually have with this
I actually like it though as I think other than the CG model from 2, its actually the best Sora's ever looked!
Oh I know, I've played all the games to death and had a blast! I just hope it has a good storyline that stands on its own and adds to the franchise. We know what to expect after 3D, but I want there to be plenty of surprises along the way. Obviously it'll allude to the past, but I hope it introduces some decent new characters and non-Disney worlds to explore! The portable games have been fun but it'll be so good to play a proper sequel again.
typical square, showing something when its barely started
This game is gonna run better on PS4 anyway. Just one question for discussion: Does anyone think that this is just a one time deal?
Yoichi Wada is the guy who made this decision most likely. He's just a chairman now, so he won't be making any big decisions. I think we all know that this game is gonna sell best on PS4 just like FFXV. The sales on the Xbox One version are gonna be kinda pathetic in comparison to the PS4′s. Square Enix also has reported huge losses. They NEED to make this a multiplat to squeeze as much money out of it. The gen hasn't even started yet so they need to start getting to know the hardware (On PS4 especially) and make it on PC and then port it to the PS4 and Xbox One.
Also we know the PS4 is more powerful then the Xbone. In 2-3 years, when games use more and more RAM (including GDDR5 meaning just less games for Xbone), the Xbox Done is gonna get some seriously watered down ports or just less games, from Japanese devs especially will ditch it later. So when the games after KH3 and FFXV come out (KH4,KH5, FFXV-2, and FFXVI) they'll be exclusive to PS4, because they won't be able to run on Xbox One and because Square will know that they won't sell well enough on the Xbox One (Yes I know it might come to PC but it probably won't with their development costs high enough and if they did it would still sell best on PS4)? Keep in mind that Sony could've locked those 2 games as exclusive but they didn't because they're focusing on 1st party right now (for now 1st party exclusive will be the main focus). Don't forget, Tetsuya Nomura also loves his exclusivity. I really can't any game apart from KH3 and FFXV that are multiplats. Both this and FFXV will probably be out by 2015, when like I said games will be using higher specs and amounts of RAM. Also, I know this is a very low possibility, but don't you thin Sony could pay square enough to make it fully exclusive to PS4 and announce it at E3 2014. What do you guys think?
Ehren Rivers
They want to port games to whatever system can properly use them. Essentially, Square Enix has realized that exclusivity helps the console-making companies more than it helps them. There are plenty of XBox-using people out there that might be interested in Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts, but are unwilling to go out and buy a second system. By making the game available on a system they intend to purchase, they can make their product more widely purchasable, especially by those who will only have the money to buy one console for several years. I don't think the Xbox One is a good system in the slightest, but there are people out there who think it's going to be great and will prioritize it. I know several of them myself.
The PS4 does appear to be more powerful than the Xbox One, but we don't know how hard Final Fantasy XV and Kingdom Hearts III will push the software and hardware involved. The games will definitely be gorgeous and will probably be a fantastic leap forward from the current generation, but to be so intensive that they'd consider not putting the game on the Xbox? I'm not so sure about that, and I think it might even be short-changing the XB1 a little bit.
Lastly, Nomura doesn't really love exclusivity. He loves making games on unique systems with interesting capabilities, which by definition make them exclusives because there's not a comparable system out there. Square Enix (and by extension, Nomura) knows that there are Final Fantasy fans that use the Xbox system from their experiment with making the Lightning Saga multiplatform. They know it's there, so as long as the hardware can handle it they will probably continue to multiplat Final Fantasy games.
Kingdom Hearts, on the other hand, would be a relative newcomer to the platform. Since KHIII is being developed in DirectX 11 and can therefore be ported easily to the Xbox One, it makes it an ideally effortless testing of the waters for this series. If it does well, then there's a possibility they'll port the 1.5 (and anticipated 2.5) collection to give Xbox players the full story, at which point it would join Final Fantasy as "Multiplatform whenever possible".
Lastly, I don't think Sony could pay them enough to create exclusivity for the games. The potential new install base for the US is way too enticing.
I agree with you that KH3 and FFXV will probably not push the hardware. I just meant the games that'll come out AFTER KH3 and FFXV. And you're 100% correct. Nomura loves making games on unique platforms. I took that into account, but then I wondered: Why was BBS exclusive to PSP? Maybe it was because of the power.
Yes your correct that the install base is enticing. However the install base in Japan is what I think is most important thing to Square Enix. More than half the sales for KH3 and FFXV especially, will be from Japan. Meaning that maybe even more than 3 quarters of the sales will be on PS4, since the majority of the sales will be on PS4 in the west. I honestly think that MS will put the DRM back in when they sell enough units of the Xbox One.
Ehren Rivers
BBS was exclusive to the PSP because it was a system Nomura hadn't tried yet, and as with the DS it had no direct analogue among any other handheld. Internal features such as the ad-hoc multiplayer and the ability to install data for a smoother game were good motivators, despite it not being a particularly special-features-heavy handheld otherwise.
And no, that's counter-intuitive to the money loss you mentioned above. Their Japan market isn't faltering at all, whereas their relationship with western markets (particularly the US) has been rocky in the last year due to Square Enix's own admitted lack of understanding of said market. I also submit Final Fantasy XIII once again, which was initially a PS3 exclusive for Japan and then became multiplatform upon moving to the west. Because the game sold about equal numbers between PS3 and 360 in the West, they re-released XIII on the 360 in Japan and despite Japan giving 0 pigs about the Xbox they continued to release Lightning Saga games in multiplatform. The company concerns are multinational.
It's also doubtful that more than half the sales for Final Fantasy XV will come from Japan. When we look back to their last large outing with Final Fantasy XIII, Japan had an edge for the US PS3 sales with approximately 1.8 mil compared to 1.5 mil. When you take into account the 360 sales, though, the US jumps to 2.6 million copies. About 50% higher than that of Japan, if you're keeping track, as Japan only sold between 10k and 20k copes on the 360. And that's to say nothing of Europe, which sold about a cool million (PS3, half that for the 360 for a total 1.5) itself and is counted as part of the Western markets. This trend continued with XIII-2, where again the lion's share was sold in the Western markets, with approximately a third sold in NA, EU, and JP each.
All of these figures MIGHT mean platform exclusive games if there was any real effort involved with porting. However, if the games sell half, or even a third of their numbers on the Xbox One that they do on the PS4 they'll have been worth more than the process of porting. Money is certainly not the issue here, performance is. The performances of FF XV and KH III wlll almost certainly fall within the capabilities of the Xbox One. If future games become intensive enough that they can run on the PS4 but not the Xbox One, then I (and Square Enix) have already covered that. As I said before, they intend to put their next-generation games out on any console that can handle them.
The issue of Microsoft and their DRM policies may have an effect, but currently that issue has been removed and there's no indication it's coming back beyond people's (admittedly deserved) mistrust of Microsoft.
Yes you're right. Just to clarify: I meant games after KH3 and FFXV, which both those. After those 2 games, there's pretty much no doubt that Square will be reporting huge profits, pulling out of the losses they've been reporting. And I wasn't saying their market and Japan was faltering. I just meant it's most important to them.

Brooklyn, NY (SportsNetwork.com) - Fuquan Edwin scored 18 points, grabbed six rebounds and recorded three steals to lead the Seton Hall Pirates to a 68-67 decision over the Virginia Tech Hokies in the consolation final of the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic at the Barclays Center.
Jaren Sina gave the Pirates (4-2) a spark off the bench with 13 points with the help of a 4-of-5 clip from beyond the arc. Gene Teague registered a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds while Brian Oliver tallied 11 points and six boards.
Jarell Eddie posted a double-double with 19 points and 11 rebounds to pace Virginia Tech (3-3). Ben Emelogu added 18 points off the bench while Adam Smith tallied 11 points on 4-of-9 shooting from the floor. Devin Wilson only scored two points, but handed out a game-high eight assists in the losing effort.
The Pirates took a 38-36 lead into the intermission after it knocked down 7- of-15 shots from 3-point range in the opening 20 minutes of action. Virginia Tech shot just 34.5 percent from the floor, but converted 10-of-13 tries at the charity stripe in the first stanza.
Seton Hall hit on just 26.7 percent of its field goal attempts including 3- of-11 from beyond the arc in the second half. The Hokies improved to sink 46.4 percent of their shots from the floor after the break. Virginia Tech held a 61-57 advantage with 1:44 left to play. The Pirates cut the deficit in half as Tom Maayan made a layup 20 seconds later. Edwin spearheaded a late rally as he knocked down a 3-point field goal with 27 seconds left to give Seton Hall a one-point lead. Then Edwin was fouled after a defensive rebound and sank a pair of free-throw attempts to extend the Pirates' lead to three. Emelogu made a pair of 3-pointers in the final five seconds, but Sterling Gibbs and Edwin both made shots at the charity stripe to put it out of reach.
The tightly contested bout was reflected in the rebounding battle which Seton Hall slightly won, 42-41.

Central Falls is Connected to Nature!
High School Students Chosen for National LEAF Leadership Program
"People may not think of our city as being connected to nature, but these students remind us that we are a part of something much bigger", Central Falls Mayor Michael Diossa (farthest right). On the left: LEAF Intern Logan Paulhus, RI Chapter Director Terry Sullivan and LEAF Intern Joel Flores.
After a competitive national selection process, The Nature Conservancy has awarded paid summer internships to four Central Falls High School students who have demonstrated excellent potential in environmental leadership.
The students selected are Logan Paulhus, Joel Flores, Christian Hernandez, and Michael Diossa. The Nature Conservancy's LEAF Program (Leaders in Environmental Action for the Future) will take the students to Brunswick, Maine, where they will perform trail work, habitat restoration, wildlife research, and invasive species control projects alongside professional scientists and practitioners. On weekends and outside of work hours, the interns will visit colleges and participate in outdoor recreation activities like camping, canoeing and hiking. The program is designed to foster leadership skills in environmental careers.
Central Falls Mayor James Diossa praised the students for shining a positive spotlight on the city. "We are so proud of these extraordinary young men, and I have no doubt that they will go on to achieve great things," he said. "People may not think of our city as being connected to nature, but these students remind us that we are a part of something much bigger, and that our young people have a great deal to contribute to science and the future of our environment."
Terry Sullivan, Director of The Nature Conservancy's Rhode Island Chapter put it into perspective: "The LEAF program has a tremendous impact on the students' lives: opening their eyes to career possibilities, building self-confidence, independence, work skills, conservation literacy and a love of the outdoors. In many cases, LEAF is the students' first time working for pay and being away from home for an extended time."
Since 1995, with leading support from the Toyota USA Foundation, the LEAF program has made a difference for our most precious resources: children and nature. The Rhode Island Foundation is providing support for the Central Falls interns' field session this summer.
The Nature Conservancy's LEAF program partners with over 20 environmental high schools around the country. LEAF program participants for 2013 come from: New York City, NY, New Haven, CT, Plainfield, NJ, Atlanta, GA, Boston, MA, Chicago, IL, Seattle, WA, Los Angeles, CA, Denver, CO, Philadelphia, PA and Central Falls, RI. The students reflect the rich cultural and ethnic diversity of these cities.
If you would like to learn more about the The Nature Conservancy's LEAF Program (Leaders in Environmental Action for the Future) in Rhode Island, please contact our RI Chapter Providence office at 401-331-7110 or email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Press Release Kansas State University:
HeadCoach Bill SnyderOn the importance of execution ina third non-conference game before opening Big 12 play…"Continued improvement is vital toour program, hand-in-hand with discipline, and doing it the right way everytime. After the first half of the ball game last week, I was pleased with theprogress that we made and I think that there were stages in the second half,basically a six-and-a-half minute period in which I thought it all went out thewindow. What we don't have are those things on a consistent basis. You alwaystalk about starting and finishing the game, but somewhere in between you needto play pretty well also. Just the consistent discipline is vital to theimprovement that we have to make. Yes we made some improvement but at someinopportune times we took some steps back from that."On Tyler Lockett's development as a wide receiver…"Certainly he is a talented young guy who runs his routes extremely well.What I appreciate about him is the way he works at it, the way he genuinelycares. I will look out the window, in fact he is probably out there right nowcatching balls off of the jugs machine. Last night it was about 10 p.m. whenour players finish with practice late in the evenings on Mondays and I'mlooking out at about 9:45 p.m. and he is still out there catching passes off ofthat machine. He just diligently works at it because he cares and wants to beas good as he can be. If you have a whole bunch of guys like that things aregoing to be a lot easier."On the relationship between Jake Waters and Daniel Sams…"As a coach and as a person I have truly appreciated the fact that theyroot for each other and help each other out because that is what teammates arereally all about. We have always talked about being a good teammate and theyboth treat each other with respect and are good guys and handle the situationas well as you possibly could." On getting running back John Hubert back to last year's form…"I just want him to get back to the rhythm that he was in last year andthere are a lot of things that enter into that as well but I think we need toget John to run hard. You saw a couple of snaps last week where he was the oldJohn Hubert. He turned it loose, stayed on his feet, broke some tackles; Ithink he needs to do that on a consistent basis."On the certain things that Massachusetts does well as a team…"They have had some very prominent players who have not been on the fieldyet. Their running back has been hurt and out for two ball games, and theirtight end, who caught 46 passes last year, has been hurt and missed two ballgames. They are a better football team with those players in the game. I thinkthat they can spread you out and run the ball, and defensively I think thatthey fly around pretty well. I think they have an aggressive back seven thatfly to the ball and up front defensively they can hold their own. I know GregBurns, who works with their secondary now, was the coordinator at Colorado whenwe were in the Big 8 Conference and played the same coverage/style of defensethat we did and was very effective with it, and it is kind of a tough defenseto work with schematically. I think that they do a nice job and the other thingthat exists is that I know they are upset but it sounds to me like they are allon the same page and they care, and will be a highly motivated football teambecause of it."On building trust with a new kicker and punter…"I like to see them get better all the time, but I thought it was good forJack (Cantele) to hit a couple of field goals. He needs to continue to getbetter and improve and he understands that. I thought our punter Mark Krausehit the ball well in the ballgame. He averaged 47.5 yards per kick, netpunting, which is extremely good. He hit the ball up in the air and got it outthere and they did not have any returns, which is a very positive thing.Consistency is a key element and we just have to keep doing it."On Jake Waters' four interceptions he has thrown this season…"Well one of them bounced off the chest of a wide receiver so you certainlywould not consider that his fault, but the other (last game) that he threw wascompletely ill-advised. He has got to understand how to handle that so muchbetter. As I look at the turnovers there were two interceptions, two droppedpasses, in combination with ill-advised penalties, which is 21 points in theballgame. Those things were very, very costly. We have to be better."Junior Tight End Zach Trujillo On having a two-quarterback system…"I think it's great. It really opens up our offense. Whoever coach thinkscan get the job done on certain plays, they will put in there. Whoever is in,we are going to block for them and do what we can. It doesn't really matter whowe have in. We are all teammates and I think everybody understands that."On the importance of playing well in the third week…"It is very important. Just like Coach Snyder says, 'You only get betterevery day.' Coming into week three with two weeks under our belt, as long as wekeep getting better every day, it puts us in a good position to play well thatthird week."On if there are differences in game management between Jake Waters andDaniel Sams…"I wouldn't say there are really too many differences at all. Like CoachSnyder says, Jake (Waters) is the number one guy and Daniel (Sams) is numbertwo, so it does not really change much. I would say there are really nodifferences. When Daniel is in, I feel about the same as when Jake is in. Wejust have to execute the plays for them to work, no matter who is in."Junior Offensive Lineman B.J. FinneyOn the importance of this week's game ahead of Texas…"Obviously we have to improve every week, and there is no reason to stopnow. We still have a long way to go to where we want to be, so every game isjust kind of showing us where we are at and where we need to improve. It givesus a different look than going against ourselves like we have been, so it iscrucial in that aspect."On the offensive line's improvement in week two…"I think we improved. We still were not where we need to be. We were notthat same nasty, physical offensive line that we were at the end of lastseason, and that is something we are still trying to work to get back to. It isjust every day a mentality thing to get nastier and being tougher."On if it is enjoyable having two talented quarterbacks…"It is kind of the same thing. It is the same routine in the huddle, thesame getting up, getting set and getting blocks so they can get their calls ifthey want to check the play. They are both working hard, both doing a greatjob. It is just my job to protect and give them avenues to run." Sophomore Place Kicker Jack CanteleOn replacing his brother as the starting kicker…"Fortunately I got to be behind him for two years. I didn't have to beforced in there before I was ready. I am ready now, and I got to see in himwhat it takes to be successful and hopefully I can duplicate what he did."On how much his brother helped him…"He really has given me advice on staying under control and not trying toforce anything. That has been the biggest asset for me."

Headache-Inducing Foods
Try avoiding these common triggers.
From tension headaches to migraines, there are many varieties of head-pounding pain. And although several different triggers may be to blame, like stress and allergies, some experts believe that certain foods can cause headaches in some people. "It is not unusual at all for food to trigger migraines or other types of headaches," says Noah Rosen, MD, Director of the Headache Institute at North Shore-LIJ Health System in Long Island, New York.

Actors who were nearly professional athletes.
Making it to the top of any profession takes a lot of drive and hard work; this is why it comes as no surprise that many of Hollywoods most successful actors almost made it to the top of the sports world, but ended up turning in their uniforms for costumes.

New York Fashion Week may be coming to a close, but don't fret — London Fashion Week has arrived. And with hot U.K. labels like Stella McCartney, Temperley London, and Burberry Prorsum showing this season, we know that the catwalk will be just as innovative across the pond as it was here in New York. Plus, tons of celebs, models, and designers will be out and about in their finest fashions. (Duh.) They'll be hitting up the hottest restaurants, bars, and clubs in the city — so get ahead of the curve and check out the see-and-be-seen spots in London for the fashion elite.
THE HOTEL: Langham Hotel London; Marylebone
THE HOT SPOT: Afternoon Tea
WHY IT'S HOT: One thing London has that New York doesn't? Afternoon tea. The Langham Hotel, a 5-pearl spot that oozes exclusivity (which the front-row crowd loves), has a great West End location in Marylebone that's within walking distance of numerous designer shops (should you have forgotten that must-wear LBD). But the Langham's Palm Court is noted as the birthplace of the afternoon tea tradition, dating back to the hotel's opening in 1865. Fashionistas can enjoy sipping on tea selected by their sommelier and nibble on dainty finger foods before heading off to the next show — without popping your pants button.
THE HOTEL: Ambassadors Bloomsbury; Bloomsbury
THE HOT SPOT: Happy Hour
WHY IT'S HOT: The 100-room Ambassadors Bloomsbury is located in the historic literary heart of London. Rather than having the opulent look that many luxury hotels in London boast, Ambassadors has a chic, modern feel that extends to its popular bar, Number Twelve. Head over around 5 o'clock and order up a cocktail while you mingle with glamouratti, like the fruity Basil Bramble made with basil, blackberries, sloe gin, and Creme de Mure. Still missing NYFW? Fine, order the Perfect Manhattan.
THE HOTEL: St. James's Hotel and Club; Mayfair
THE HOT SPOT: Dinner
WHY IT'S HOT: All dining services at the St. James's Hotel are directed by Michelin star executive chef William Drabble. The Seven Park Place restaurant focuses on modern French cuisine utilizing seasonal British ingredients, with entrees such as a roasted filet of sea bass with braised artichokes and parsley puree and Lune Valley lamb with turnips and thyme. After veritably starving themselves all day, models can indulge on uber-tempting desserts too, like dark chocolate mouse cake.
THE HOTEL: Baglioni Hotel London; Kensington
THE HOT SPOT: The Late-Night Party
WHY IT'S HOT: In the upscale neighborhood of Kensington, Baglioni Hotel overlooks Hyde Park and Kensington Palace. Though it's a bit past it's glory days, the hotel's bar and club Boutique 60 is a popular late-night spot for sophisticated types — right up Fashion Weekers allies. (Literally, the party does not stop. All. Night.) With a chill, lounge vibe, the bar is open til the wee hours of the morning and celebs like Christina Aguilera and Will Smith have been spotted here.

iGreenCR Day was held in downtown Cedar Rapids earlier this morning. iGreenCR is designed to help "green up" the city. Volunteers gathered to help pick up parts of the downtown river area.
iGreenCR is part of a larger initiative called City Manager's One Bag Challenge that challenges citizens of Cedar Rapids to pick up litter and trash lying around the city. So far, the city has collected 1500 bags of trash since the initiative started nine months ago.
A total of seven different neighborhoods were included in the trash pick-up event. Volunteers walked the neighborhoods picking up any trash or debris they found lying around. The goal for the day was to pick up 500 bags of trash and debris to add to the original 1500 bags of trash already collected.

Randolph County's Board of Education has extended the contract of its county school superintendent.
Superintendent Terry George will serve for another three years for the Randolph County School System. George said he's pleased with the board's confidence in him.
George started out as interim superintendent for Randolph County Schools last year after Jim Phares took over as West Virginia School Superintendent.
"It provides me and the staff at the office an opportunity the plan we put into place this year to improve student achievement, and efficiency of our county system," said George.
George has been with the school system for 35 years. The goals George and the school board have each discussed point to him being a good fit for Randolph County.
"It's proven to be a positive change, and I've been very happy with the success we've had here in the school system and looking forward to continuing that," George said.
Randolph County Schools is working on three goals for the new year. It's focusing on improving student achievement, enhancing efficiency across all departments and locations, and promoting community involvement. George said the number one focus is on the students.
"In order to provide everything the schools need. We have to work to be efficient to make certain that we get the students the supplies they need, the schools and staff they need to be successful and that we're accessible to the buildings principles and communities."
George said he wouldn't change anything he's done in his career.
"I've worked in Randolph County my entire career, and I couldn't find a better place to spend a career than in Randolph County Schools."
George said the school board will be changing the days it meets.
The board will now meet on the first and third Wednesday of the month at 7 p.m.

PRINCETON, NJ -- (Marketwire) -- 02/27/13 -- Life insurance coverage is a significant purchase; not only does it represent a major financial commitment, but, because life insurance is used to protect family members from economic hardship, it is imperative for individuals to obtain high-quality coverage. As such, many individuals are prone to seeking out advice before committing to a particular life insurance plan. According to a recent article from Business 2 Community, however, the quality of life insurance advice can vary greatly -- and it is essential for individuals to make certain that they are only listening to informed and unbiased counsel. This stance has won a comment from Gary Taffet.
Gary Taffet has worked in insurance brokerage and employee benefits administration for years, and currently serves with the New Jersey-based Reliance Insurance Group. Taffet has issued a new statement to the press, in which he offers his own thoughts on the Business 2 Community article, and the need for proper guidance when shopping for life coverage. "Independent insurance agents with vast professional experience make the best life insurance advisors," states Gary Taffet. "Each client is unique. An independent insurance advisor has a fiduciary obligation to provide the best possible recommendations. These valued and trusted professionals are providing unbiased and knowledgeable advice. And that is the most crucial role of any insurance agent."
Gary Taffet's advice for individuals to obtain proper counsel from independent insurance agents dovetails with the Business 2 Community article, which cautions against leaning on the advice of those who have little life insurance experience -- in particular, family members and friends. The article notes that there is nothing at all wrong with seeking insight from friends and loved ones, but cautions individuals to remember that, in most cases, these friends and family members are not life insurance professionals.
The Business 2 Community article continues by noting the crucial distinction between captive agents and independent agents. A captive agent is generally only able to refer clients to a single life insurance carrier, whereas an independent agent is able to provide a range of options. Because the independent agent has greater liberty to endorse different products and services, the independent agent is ultimately better able to meet the particular needs of any given client -- a point affirmed by Gary Taffet.
Ultimately, the article shares the view held by Gary Taffet -- that for individuals seeking the best possible life insurance coverage, speaking with an experienced and independent agent is ultimately the most prudent course of action.
Gary Taffet is a veteran of the insurance brokerage and employee benefits administration industries. He currently serves with the New Jersey-based Reliance Insurance Group, a national leader in all manner of employee benefits and insurance services. At Reliance Insurance Group, Gary Taffet provides audits and reviews of employee benefit plans, and makes suggestions on how companies can receive better benefits while improving their cost efficiency. Reliance also provides services in health and life insurance brokerage. Taffet is a graduate of Rutgers, and remains an active donor to the university.

Some things about Strikeforce will stay the same. Mauro Ranallo, Pat Miletich, Stephen Quadros and the gang will still call the fights. Scott Coker will still be cage side. Many of the world's best fighters will still be competing in that very cage. But there will be one significant difference: for the first time, elbow strikes to a downed opponent will be legal in Strikeforce.
The UFC spent a ton of time and money to legalize this sport across the country. The rules they envisioned included elbow strikes on the ground. Owner Lorenzo Fertitta made it clear on a media conference call today that Strikeforce, long opposed to allowing those techniques, will now be getting in line. "The one change we're going to make as promoter of the show is to use the unified rules that you see in the UFC...elbows on the ground will be allowed in Strikeforce," Fertitta said, a position that makes sense. He has a lot invested in these rules. Under his watch, Strikeforce will play the sport by the same rules everyone else does.
Many critics, like Fight Opinion's Zach Arnold, have been calling for the move for some time:
The Unified rules allow for elbow strikes on the ground and don't allow for knee strikes to the head. There has been great debate about whether or not knee strikes to the head should be allowed in the States. What there hasn't been a debate about is whether or not elbows on the ground should be allowed. They should and there's almost universal agreement about it. In the case of Strikeforce, being different for the sake of being different doesn't earn you any brownie points — it just earns you fights that go longer or go the distance.
MMA trainer Ron Dayley, owner of the SSF Submission Academy in Tennessee, explains that it may be difficult for a fighter at first to deal with the technique - primarily because it is so hard to train for:
We can train elbows, but they are hard to train full on. You're trying to prepare a fighter the best that you can and at the same time not give him a crazy gash above his eye a month before his fight. It's tough. Elbows are one of those things that you really only get useful experience with by fighting in the cage utilizing and defending them, it's a cage experience thing that only time gives you.
While critics have complained about elbows serving the primary purpose of opening cuts, I think it's important that the sport be contested under the same rules across the country. It would be off-putting if certain conferences in college football didn't allow the forward pass, or if the ACC decided to outlaw the three point shot in their basketball games. The sport of MMA is all grown up - it's time to find a set of rules and enforce them, uniformly across promotional boundaries and state lines.

'Venue' replicates home entertainment in cabins

Select features of the system will be available as early as the second quarter of next year, with deliveries of the complete system to begin in the first quarter 2009 Venue has already been selected by Cessna for its Citation CJ4, scheduled to debut in 2010.
According to Rockwell Collins, Venue is designed to replicate the home-theater experience, with key features that include:
• A real-time, uncompressed high-definition distribution system that enables 730 or 1080 progressive scan quality video from devices such as Blu-Ray DVDs and Xbox 360 game consoles.
• A digital, high-definition entertainment device that integrates a wide variety of capabilities, including Blu-Ray DVD (also compatible with standard definition DVDs), CD and MP3, audio and video jukebox, integrated 3-D Airshow moving map, games and front-port USB input for media files.
