Conventional thinking is wrong. So, challenge it!
Investors often believe that they must choose between profit and impact -- that they must ignore environmental and human factors in order to earn competitive returns. But research proves the opposite: Companies who care about the impact of their activities are better long term investments than those who do not.

It's also about risk management
Sustainable investors know what they own -- to suit their values, of course, but also to manage risk.
Risks from resource scarcity and climate change are real and growing. Regulations are in flux, creating new winners and losers. And with consumer attitudes shifting rapidly, poor corporate citizens risk being left in the cold.
These new risks require new approaches. And, sustainable investors are already using them.

"In business, sustainability means managing human and natural capital with the same vigor we apply to the management of financial capital. It means widening the scope of our awareness so we can understand fully the "true cost" of every choice we make."

Indexing competitive returns and a better social footprint
May 31, 2014
Fund managers have a bad rap. (I know. I managed one for seven years and played the quarterly "performance derby" just like the rest of them.) While there are certainly mutual fund managers who can outperform their benchmarks, as an industry, high costs often mean the average fund doesn't distinguish itself. And even the best managers find it nearly impossible to outperform on a consistent basis.
Isn't this a self-fullfilling prophesy? I mean, how can a group of very smart people, competing within the same finite universe of investment opportunities, be better than average? It's just not mathematically possible for a...

Divestment: Investors put their money where their mouth is.
March 11, 2014
"The looming choice may be either stranding those assets or stranding the planet."
OECD Secretary-General Angel Gurria
The drumbeat for "divestment" continues to grow louder. And Boardwalk Capital is seeing new client demand for fossil-free portfolios.
This movement isn't on the fringes any more...
The problem for investors is complex but straightforward. Current global fossil fuel reserves, if extracted and burnt, would release far more greenhouse gas emissions than is compatible with meeting the internationally agreed limit of no more than two degrees of global warming.

DECISION TIME: 4-star WR DeAnthony Arnett to announce tomorrow
Click here to follow me on Twitter.
One of the nation's top-ranked wide receivers will announce his college decision Wednesday, and Tennessee will have a hat on the table.
DeAnthony Arnett (Saginaw, Mich.) will be choosing among UT, Michigan State, Southern Cal, Cal and Michigan when he announces his choice Wednesday night at 7 p.m. from his school's media center.
Arnett's brother, Ralph Arnett, confirmed the details of the ceremony to the News Sentinel.
Arnett is considered the No. 2 prospect in the state of Michigan, the No. 6 receiver in the nation and the No. 60 overall prospect. He visited UT unofficially when the Vols hosted Oregon in September. He has taken unofficial visits to Cal and Southern Cal and most recently was seen at Michigan.
Arnett (6-0, 167 pounds) will be one of 90 high school players who participate in the US Army All-American Bowl on Jan. 8 in San Antonio, Texas.
Arnett had 42 receptions for 782 yards and eight touchdowns and added six more TDs on rushing and kickoff returns this season.

The NFL season is underway and it didn't take
long to find our first surprise of the fantasy season. The Cowboys and Giants
struggled in the first half before the visitors from Dallas took control on the ground and through
the air with a makeshift offensive line in the second half.
Romo is the real deal:
From a regular season fantasy perspective Tony Romo has finally put up consistent numbers. Coming into the season it was Eli Manning who was in the conversation to be put in top 5 fantasy quarterback status. Wednesday night, Romo made his case to be in elite company. Romo completed 22 of 29 passes for 307 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. After a first half of nothing to write home about play, Romo took control of the game in the second half even with a make shift offensive line.
On Target:
Romo completed 22-of-29 passes Wednesday night. Here are his targets followed by completions.
Kevin Ogletree- 11 (8)
Dez Bryant- 5 (4)
Miles Austin- 4 (4)
Jason Witten- 3 (2)
Felix Jones- 2 (0)
DeMarco Murray- 2 (2)
John Phillips- 1 (1)
James Hanna- 1 (1)
Didn't see that one coming:
Kevin Ogletree was the surprise of the night. The Dallas recently named third receiver not only scored twice against the Giants, he was also targeted more than any receiver on either team except Victor Cruz. Tony Romo threw Ogletree's way 11 times connecting on eight for 114 yards. Ogletree took advantage of a banged up Giants secondary.
He was who we thought he was:
DeMarco Murray ran for 131 yards on 20 carries picking up right where he left off when he was injured against the Giants in week 14 last season. After running for only 20 yards in the first half, Murray found his stride in the second half working 111 yards on 12 carries.
Book on Eli:
but not good enough would be the perfect description of Eli and the G-men's
offensive output Wednesday night. Manning completed 21 of 32 passes for 213
yards and a late touchdown.
On Target:
Victor Cruz-11 (6)
Hakeem Nicks – 6 (4)
Martellus Bennett- 5 (4)
Dominic Hixon- 5 (3)
Ahmad Bradshaw- 3 (2)
Henry Hynoski-1 (1)
Bear Pascoe- 1 (1)
Stop the salsa:
Victor Cruz was targeted 11 times by Manning catching six but dropping three sure things. He failed to get into the end zone and finished with 58 yards. The Cowboys secondary played Cruz physical and only allowed Cruz to make one big play in the first half for 26 yards. Cruz also caught only one pass for five yards in the second half.
Running against the wind:
Ahmad Bradshaw led the way on the ground with 78 yards and a touchdown on 17 carries. Rookie David Wilson carried the ball only twice before fumbling and turning the ball over in the first half.

Is Greg Lewis Closer to Choosing Rutgers?
Center Greg Lewis took a visit to Rutgers last weekend and came away impressed. Some reports say the visit went well. Even other reports say that Lewis has narrowed his choices to either Rutgers and USF are his final two. Either way, it appears Lewis' father is impressed with Rice and Co. "The one thing I was impressed with was Mike Rice," Lewis Sr. said. "I think his sense of humor and his honesty especially stood out to me. And that allowed me to feel comfortable. … From a parent's perspective, the location is just two-and-a-half hours away from home, close enough but not [so close where you can] come home when you hit that wall as a freshman. Most important is the opportunity that was presented to Greg to play as a freshman. I think that's crucial when it comes to his development." More news as it comes.

KNOXVILLE (WATE) - A special program has been helping loved ones see their families on Christmas for the past 25 years.
Rural/Metro paramedics pick up people from nursing homes on Thanksgiving and Christmas, and take them to family events they would otherwise not be able to attend.
There is nothing like being with family and friends for the holidays, and for Kay Horner, this Christmas is extra special. It will be the first time in years she and her sister, Roberta, will see each other.
"It just made our Christmas, that she could come and we could all holds hands around the table," Horner said. "It just means everything. Christmas is about being with people you love and celebrating the birth of Christ."
Roberta lives in a nursing home in Farragut. She has cerebral palsy.
"She doesn't walk, and you have to be real careful when you pick her up and move her," Horner said. "We just wouldn't be able to do that for her. It just means everything to have her here for Christmas."
Rural/Metro schedules "Home for the Holidays" trips in advance. They pick people up and take them back to their homes when the events they attend end.
"It's very moving, just to know that we can take loved ones home to see their families who can't get out in cars," said Rural/Metro paramedic Joshua Crutchfield. "We love to see the faces of the families when we're bringing their loved one in. Just to see them as we leave, and they're thanking us for bringing their loved one home."
The "Home for the Holidays" program is free of charge.

Year-End Wrap-Up: The 10 Best Novels Of 2011

Reported by
Maureen Corrigan
This was a terrific year for fiction and a particularly strong year for first-time novelists. Some of the literary debutantes who glide through this "10 best" list are so young, their wisdom teeth probably haven't had time to become impacted yet. Majestically bringing up the rear of the procession are some much-decorated veterans whose sustained achievements in fiction should ensure that the young 'uns don't rest too comfortably on their laurels.
The Magic Of David Foster Wallace's Unfinished 'King'
Hear this
Explore this
Reported by
Daniel Roberts
The Pale King is a work that, as expected, only further proves David Foster Wallace's genius. Most of the time the unfinished novel (published posthumously after Wallace's 2008 death) is a thrilling read, replete with the author's humor, which is oftentimes bawdy and always bitingly smart. Characters have names like Merrill Errol Lehrl and Dick Tate. One man shares a hilarious childhood memory in which he fell, slipped in dog excrement, then ran around after his friends, "crying and roaring like some horrible shit-monster."
The dialogue is dead-on, real to the point of occasionally being exhausting, such as the section in which a character describes how she met her husband in a psych ward when she was seventeen and had been cutting herself. (Frequent mentions of suicide make it all too easy to see each character as a Wallace double, but that would likely be a facile conclusion.)
But this is also a David Foster Wallace novel to its core, which means it employs literary devices that will tire many readers. It boasts pages upon pages of IRS jargon and protocol, in which Wallace steeped himself tirelessly for the sake of research. It uses footnotes—a DFW trademark that originated with his masterpiece, Infinite Jest. Add those quirks to a score of characters that get named repeatedly but never appear in focus, and the inverse as well: entire sections that painstakingly detail one relationship or event to which the book never returns.
This is an unfinished novel, after all. In fact, many literary outlets have wondered whether this book would turn out to be an accessible read for all fiction lovers, or a piece of memorabilia for devoted DFW-heads only. The answer (either unfortunately or happily, depending on your level of fanaticism) may be the latter.
A character named David Wallace is the supposed narrator of the book, and frames The Pale King as his own "vocational memoir." In a section called Author's Foreword, he introduces himself: "Author here. Meaning the real author, the living human holding the pencil, not some abstract narrative persona." Of course, it's all very "meta"; the character is not the Wallace that died in 2008, but a close representation, a guy who dreamed of "becoming an immortally great fiction writer a la Gaddis," got booted from college after writing other students' papers for money, and ended up at the IRS Regional Examination Center in Peoria, Illinois. The present tense of the book takes place here, in 1985, as a number of new recruits arrive.
In actuality, about half the book consists of the characters' past experiences leading up to their IRS careers. Meanwhile, the device of David Wallace is doubly self-referential; in a clever gag, he is treated like a king upon arrival at the Peoria REC because he is mistaken for a higher-up, also named David Wallace, also arriving that day.
The notion that this book is "unfinished" should not be given too much weight. The Pale King is, in many ways, quite complete: its core characters are fully drawn, each with a defining tic, trait, or backstory: Shane 'X' Drinion levitates when he is intensely focused. David Cusk has a debilitating problem with sweating. 'Irrelevant' Chris Fogle was a serious stoner in college (a 100-page confessional in which he describes his experiences of being high on Obetrol is the book's best section). Claude Sylvanshine has "Random-Fact Intuition," which is like ESP for useless details about strangers. Leonard Stecyk was an incessant goody-goody in childhood. And David Wallace has grotesque acne.
Moreover, the book is far from incomplete in its handling of a host of themes, most of them the same major issues, applicable to all of us, with which Wallace also grappled in Infinite Jest: unconquerable boredom, the quest for satisfaction in work, the challenge of really knowing other people and the weight of sadness. Nonetheless, it cannot be overstated just how crushing it feels to reach a collection of Wallace's notes at the end, which his editor Michael Pietsch has included in full. Before we reach the notes, we can entertain the illusion that the novel was not at all a rough sketch —that Wallace wanted loose ends.
The notes cast heavy doubt on this possibility. Wallace had intricate plans for many of the characters, including ideas about an entire IRS conspiracy that he was never able to realize. It's possible he was content to leave loose ends, but it's more likely that the 538 pages we have make up only half of what the full novel might have been.
Pietsch, meanwhile, deserves immense credit for his editorial work; in a touching introductory note, he recounts the daunting task of assembling the book. Sections were not found in any order, phrases were repeated more than Wallace likely intended and character names were reinvented throughout. The Pale King is therefore in many ways the triumph of an editor that truly knew his client.
The experience to be had from reading The Pale King feels far more weighty and affecting than a nicely wrapped story. Its reach is broad, and its characters stay with you. It will not become known as his masterpiece, but for Wallace's fans — a legion that has grown exponentially since his death—the book is candy, albeit bittersweet.

Author's Final Book An Unfinished Tale Of Boredom
Hear this
Explore this
Reported by
NPR Staff
After struggling with depression for most of his adult life, writer David Foster Wallace committed suicide on Sept. 12, 2008 at age 46.
In one of his final acts, he tidied up the manuscript of a novel he'd been working on. The book was to be a follow-up to his 1996 masterwork, Infinite Jest. He called it The Pale King, and many said it would be a monumental contribution to contemporary fiction.
The manuscript was unfinished, but Michael Pietsch, Wallace's editor at Little, Brown and Company, felt it was too important not to make the work available to the public, finished or not.
So The Pale King will hit the bookstores later this month, incomplete but still a window into the mind of a writer considered to be one of the most gifted of his generation.
"We chose to publish on April 15 as a way of casting a comic light on a novel that has a lot of darkness surrounding it," Pietsch tells All Things Considered weekend host Guy Raz.
A Boring Book - Mostly On Purpose
The Pale King is focused with the way we regulate our attention to the dull, rote and boring. Wallace laid out the premise of his novel in a typewritten note before his death.
"Bliss — a second-by-second joy and gratitude at the gift of being alive, conscious — lies on the other side of crushing, crushing boredom," he wrote. Pietsch says it attempts the greatest challenge he's ever seen a novelist take on: "To write a novel about the boring parts of life."
By working through the boring, complex and difficult details of life, Pietsch says Wallace believed it was possible to truly connect with another person in a meaningful way.
"The book deals with boredom," Pietsch says, "But it's because it wants to deal with joy."
The novel centers on the life of several IRS tax return processors, and parts of it contain entire passages dedicated to the details of tax code policy. Some of the boredom here may not be entirely deliberate, Pietsch says — after all, it is an unfinished story. Wallace did not revise some chapters as tightly as others.
"I would imagine this novel, if David had continued working on it, would not have been boring for a second," Pietsch says. "But I'm prejudiced."
Putting Together An Unfinished Story
Wallace dug into his subject by taking accounting classes starting as far back as 1997. As it turns out, his longtime agent Bonnie Nadell tells Raz, Wallace was also quite good at math. "He could take very advanced accounting classes and follow them."
Papers left in his office reveal Wallace started correspondences with various accountants around the country. He took great interest in his own accountant, Nadell says, "who loved him to pieces, because no one ever asks about all the minutia of doing someone's taxes."
Wallace sought these details, Pietsch says, because he wanted to write a novel that connected to peoples' true lives.
"He's trying to write about what's it's like to go home every day to the same spouse for 40, 50 years," Pietsch says. "How do you look into the face of a job that you know you're going to do again and again for 40 years?
"How can you find meaning? How can you find delight? How do you find love? How do you find someone who will sit with you while you talk about what happened to you in line waiting to get to the bank teller?" Those are questions Wallace grappled with until his death, Pietsch says.
The evidence of that struggle was found in nearly 3,000 pages of drafts left in Wallace's office. Some were typed. Some were handwritten. Some were on floppy discs.
"When I first encountered it, it was this mass of material," Pietsch says, like a puzzle with no directions for assembly.
The Posthumous Question
Did Wallace's struggle to finish the The Pale King lead to his death? According to Nadell, it may indeed have played a role in the author's suicide.
Wallace got married in 2004 and by many accounts, became as mature and happy as he'd ever been. He enjoyed his teaching job at Pomona College. In 2007 he even decided to stop taking an anti-depressant he'd been on for many years — reportedly in hopes that it would aid him creatively. Still, Nadell says, "It was a hard book for him to finish."
"And he never did finish it," she says. But he did intend to publish it, she believes. "He left it in his office for people to find."
"And he was someone who threw out things constantly," Pietsch adds. In fact, he says, Wallace threw out nearly every piece of correspondence he ever received.
"He was clearly capable of throwing out things he didn't want to have," Pietsch says. "As I read these pages, I had no doubt at all this novel contains writing and thought as great and deep as anything David ever did."
"It's heartbreaking it's not finished."

From Englands oldest brewery poured a bownish color with minimal head,kind of a funky smell almost skunked and a little musty.Taste is slightly fruity with some dryness in the finish,pretty drinkable but nothing spectacular.It's still nice to find ales from the island across the pond.

A 500ml clear glass bottle with a BB of Jan 2011. This is ale with a pedigree - the label proclaims Shepherd Neame as Britain's oldest brewer (from 1698).
Poured into a Sam Smith's pint glass. A deep ruby-brown colour with good carbonation. A thick, creamy off-white head tops the liquid and remains for 5 minutes or so before dissipating to a surface film. A rich aroma of roasted malt and caramel, with notes of hops and a hint of burning. A whiff of alcohol.
A strong malty flavour with good bitterness. Slightly sweet with caramel notes, but mostly a distinctive roasted flavour tempered by hops as you swallow. A warming hint of alcohol on the palate. Mouthfeel is somewhat carbonated and mildly astringent, leaving a dry sensation. Aftertaste of bitter hops and malt.
Highly drinkable. This is probably my favourite ale from Shepherd Neame, and is the beer that springs to mind when someone mentions strong English ale. A good flavour makes it an drink for all seasons. Worth seeking out.

I had this on cask at Heathrow Airport in London. The Wetherspoon Restaurant in Terminal 4 has 4-5 beers on cask and proudly hangs the Cask Marque at the entrance. Pours a turbid amber color topped with a few bubbles. The flavor is textbook English Bitter toasty malts, low hop presence. I enjoyed.
I wish LAX had places like this to grab a pint.

Golding hops, great hoppy aroma. Some barley initially. Pale copper colour with lace and aestheticly pleasant transparent bottle (keep out of sunshine!) Drying, tad metallic. Understated carbonation. Drinkable but a 500 ml. for 3 is more than enough.

The nun's delight! Clear, bright amber with a reddish tint and a creamy head. (The aroma is slightly skunky). The body is moderately light with a gentle carbonation. The flavor is assertive with a strong malt presence and an assault of hops. The hops win out in the finish, leaving it dry and long lasting. Though it's not a very complex ale, it is full of bold malt and hop. An excellent beer to pair with English cheeses.

Had this on cask at a pub in Bath. It was a solid ale but a little on the uninspired side. It had a dark reddish color with an off-white head. It's smell packed way more of a wallop that the taste as it was rather full-bodied. Overall, the is a good bitter and very easy to drink. If I ever see it on cask in America, I'll definitely have this again!

Brought this along from Ireland.
This beer was consumed in a Pint glass.
The colour is a beautiful copper brown.
On top a nice creamy head with mediate bubbles.
The scent is very pleasant, hop and malt. Sometimes the most basic elements form the greatest dish. No carbonation present.
The taste is as superb in simplicity as the scent. Malt, hops and slight yeast.
The mouthfeel is watery and creamy at the same time.
The aftertaste gives more hop bitterness and some lemonpeel.
I am convinced!

Leslie Flores
Leslie Flores is in her first season as a volunteer assistant coach in the LMU volleyball program. Flores comes to the bluff after serving two seasons as an assistant coach at Pasadena City College. In addition to her assistant coaching duties, Flores has also served as the head coach for the 15 Elite Club West volleyball team since 2007.
Most recently, Flores helped Pasadena City College to the 2009 South Coast Conference Championship, seeing the team post a 23-2 overall record and a perfect 16-0 mark in conference play en route to the South No. 1 seed, a spot in a regional final, and a final ranking of No. 9 according to the California Community College Women's Volleyball Coaches Association. In 2008, Flores saw the Lancers finish 16-7 overall and 11-3 in the SCC, earning second place in the conference and a spot in the playoffs. Under the title of assistant coach, she developed practice plans, worked to improve the Lancers' physical development, and served a vital role in the recruitment process.
On the club side, Flores coached from 2004-2006 for San Gabriel Volleyball Club, where in 2006, her 16's team won a Bronze Medal at the Junior Olympic Invitational. More recently, Flores has served as head coach of the 15 Elite Club West volleyball team since November of 2007. After taking over the reins, Flores' team double-qualified for an Open Bid to Junior Olympics, marking the first time in Club West history that a team had qualified for an Open bid to the Junior Olympics. In 2010, her team won a silver medal in the American Division at the Junior Nationals tournament.
Flores was a four-year varsity letterwinner for Temple City High School, where in 2002, she was an All-CIF setter for Temple City's CIF Championship team. After high school, she attended D-III powerhouse University of La Verne, where she was a two-year All-SCIAC setter. Flores was a major contributor in helping La Verne reach the NCAA national Final Four in three of the four years she was on campus. Excelling at one of the highest levels of collegiate play, Flores was a member of the All-Tournament team at the 2005 Final Four.
Flores, who has made a name for herself as an official lines-person for the SCIAC, Big-West, Pac-10, and various postseason tournaments, earned her degree in social science from the University of La Verne in 2007, and finished a master's degree in physical education at Azusa Pacific in May of 2009.

Before building a custom home, some people think they need to buy a house plan first so they can design their own home and then show their builder the type of home they want constructed. If the plan requires modifications, they assume the builder can tweak it as needed.
Although many new home builders will use and make modifications to your plans, and can even offer stock plans for you to select from, the process is different when building a custom home with Frankel Building Group.
FBG a One Stop Design-Build Firm
Frankel is a one stop design-build firm. What that means is Frankel builds custom homes from scratch. Every home is different, uniquely designed for the homeowner.
It also means Frankel will personally work with you in designing your custom home. Rather than modifying a house plan or outsourcing the design process to an architect, Frankel provides in-house home design. Doing so enables Frankel to work more closely with a homebuyer in creating a true custom home. It also streamlines the homebuilding process.
The home design process involves a site survey and studies of the ecology and environment of the property you plan to build on, a meeting with the designer who creates a sketch as he learns about your lifestyle and what you want in your home, 2D and 3D sketches and more. Read about the home design process here.
Already Purchased a House Plan?
If you already purchased a house plan, it will need to be engineered for the builders. Some house plans are modifiable, others are not. You are welcome to bring the plan with you and discuss it with our designer.
However, if you did not already purchase one and you select Frankel for building your custom home, save yourself the time and money of buying a house plan or hiring an outside architect. Talk to Frankel first.


text: obviously the new toys are always the favorites, but I have to say that I am every bit as excited about what a full season of E-Will looks like with real minutes. He was really the only young guy who stood out last year ( in very few minutes) and I can't wait to see what he does. He's the teams most dynamic athlete, he has some potential to get his own shot and he has pretty decent handles. Not only that but he might be our teams only slasher off the ball ( hopefully Nic improves in this area and Barton may do this if he gets minutes). None of us have seen him in extended Minutes, but I think there is some reason for excitement. I could see him being a great lob target from Lillard and good bench scorer for us. This season can't come fast enough! Go Blazers!!!

There is nothing quite as delicious as a key lime pie! The tart key lime filling mingles well with the sweet and buttery graham cracker crust, but let's not forget the whipped cream! Mounds of freshly whipped cream is an essential component to the perfect key lime pie. But let's be honest, unless you plan on eating the pie directly from the pie plate (which is perfectly acceptable), or you are hosting a beautiful plated dinner, hauling around a plate of pie at a party that is constantly slipping to the edge is a bit cumbersome. I have a solution! Key lime pie mini parfaits!
Portable and easy to eat in just a few bites, this parfait has all the components of a traditional key lime pie in a very easy to serve size.

Baseball Rallies for Doubleheader Split Against Stetson
April 30, 2005
DeLAND, Fla. - Junior LHP Kyle DeVries (Holland, Mich.) earned his eighth win of the season and senior RHP Hunter Davis (Wakulla, Fla.) notched his ninth save to lead JU baseball to a 3-2 win over Stetson in Game Two of a doubleheader, Saturday evening at Melching Field. The Hatters took Game One by a score of 4-2. JU improves to 21-24 overall and 11-14 in the Atlantic Sun, while Stetson drops to 26-18, 13-10.
DeVries (8-3) earned the win after allowing two runs on three hits with two walks and four strikeouts in 7.0 innings. Hunter Davis got the save after hurling 2.0 scoreless innings, despite a 27- minute delay with two outs in the ninth.
Trailing 2-0, JU rallied for three runs in the top of the sixth after an RBI single through the left side by sophomore Daniel Murphy (Jacksonville/Englewood) and a two-run wild pitch by Dixon.
In game one, Stetson jumped out to a three run lead with a run in the first and two runs in the bottom fourth.
JU rallied for two runs in the top of the seventh after RBI single by freshman Matt Lopez (Oviedo, Fla.) and a sacrifice fly to center by sophomore Logan James (Clearwater, Fla.).
The Hatters made it 4-2 in the bottom of the seventh to end the scoring in the contest.
Chris Ingoglia (6-3) earned the win after allowing two runs on five hits with a walk and four strikeouts.
Junior RHP Neal Frontz (Jacksonville/Trinity Christian/Florida CC) was tagged with the loss after allowing four runs (three earned) on nine hits with two walks in 7.1 innings.
JU and Stetson will complete its three-game series on Sunday, May 1 at 11 a.m. The game can be heard live on 1320, The Patriot with Cole Pepper calling the action.

President Obama and Mitt Romney are both trying to portray themselves as underdogs heading into the first presidential debate on Wednesday in Denver.
On Monday, President Obama said he's "just okay," but Romney is a good debater. Romney's running mate, Paul Ryan, said while this is Romney's first time on such a big stage, President Obama is experienced and a gifted speaker.
Romney got in some last-minute debate practice Monday in Massachusetts before flying to Denver.

1) Okay, so, looking at the final score, one could claim a moral victory keeping the one of the conference's best teams this season to just a 1-point win. Pity is, moral victories do not count towards playoff contention.
Winning this game was Must for the Bucs to stay in the hunt for a Wild Card. Being 7-4 is much better than 6-5 at this point of the season. The other good news is that so far the other teams close to the Bucs in the playoff hunt have lost as well (or are in the process of losing, knock on formica). But still, getting another leg up in the race is what matters right now. There is little room for error here: the Bucs could afford perhaps one more loss, but they really can't lose any if they want to play in January...
2) To be fair to the Bucs, most of their losses this season have been with a single score, in situations where another FG or another TD could have won it for Tampa Bay. The only loss where the Bucs were really terrible - at Dallas - the score was still within single digits (the loss at New York where the Giants had 9 points on us was a lot closer than the score suggests, and the offense was playing well enough to feel good).
3) The surprising thing from the stats: it looks like Atlanta didn't go all balls-out with the throwing game today. They seemed to stick to a balanced attack with rushing plays as well as passing. This may have been for two reasons: QB Matt Ryan had a 5-INT game last week and needed to play more conservative today; and the Falcons may have wanted to make sure they demonstrated some kind of rushing game to keep opposing Ds guessing for the next 5 weeks.
Considering they were up against a weakened secondary (Wright out with injury, Gods know who was covering Roddy White and Julio Jones today), I was expecting Ryan to have 500 yards passing on 45 attempts.
3a) A disappointing stat: Doug Martin at 50 yards rushing with a 2.4 rushing average. He earned two TDs, which helps on the fantasy stats, but a better performance in terms of yards gained and yards per attempt might have meant better ball control on the offense and more scores for the Bucs.
4) Last week I noted that the team with the most turnovers coughed up tends to lose. Didn't happen this week with the Falcons giving up an INT and fumble vs. a turnover-free Bucs. That was probably because the turnovers led to only Field Goals, not TDs.
4a) The one stat that showed why the Bucs lost: Third down conversion rate for the Falcons (8 of 13) was higher than Tampa's (4 of 10).
5) In other NFL news, stadium attendance numbers are not only weak in Tampa Bay. Other stadiums - even for winning teams - are having turnout woes. Link to article: http://nfl.si.com/2012/11/25/attendance-woes-haunt-nfl-in-week-12/?sct=nfl_t11_a5
6) In college football news: the lack of a playoff system is gonna suck for the Florida Gators this time.
6a) Notre Dame is undefeated and a lock for the BCS title game. There is No God.
6b) The match-up is most likely going to be against whoever wins the SEC championship game: Alabama or Georgia. Again, There is No God.
6c) Why is there word out that USF won't fire Skippy at season's end? This is what big-time college programs doing with losing coaches who GET WORSE at coaching as the career progresses: this is what Auburn did with their guy, and he won them a National Championship two years ago (well, actually, I think Cam Newton willed them to victory...). Skip Holtz has GOTTEN WORSE over his three years of coaching the Bulls, there is no sign he is going to get better. If you're worried about recruiting, we're not going to be getting a lot of high schoolers wanting to come to a program that's showing no life. We're better off getting a solid coordinator looking for a HC job, and enticing kids to a program with fresh leadership.
7) In other news, it's Saturnalia time! Break out the
Roman orgy furniture! ...what?
8) In professional hockey news, Gary Bettman punched a Furby in the face and dared anyone to arrest him for that and other crimes against humanity.
9) Next week: the Bucs travel to Denver to face Peyton Manning and a Broncos team that WANTS to rack up 500+ receiving yards against the Bucs' secondary...
10) Also, can anyone recommend a good tree-stump-grinding service?

Wonderful home!
This was a great place for our vacation! This apartment is wonderful
Cute & clean apt. Nice & quite with a garage.
Beautiful little one bedroom apartment. Very clean. Everything worked nicely. It had a shower, no tub but had plenty of hot water for showers and lots of towels. The bedroom had plenty of space with a large closet for your clothes. The kitchen was clean with plenty of cupboard space for cooking. There was small table with stools to eat on and a nice big refrigerator with a freezer. There was also a washer and dryer available for washing clothes. Lots of windows and two ceiling fans which keep the apartment nice and cool. I would definetly stay here again. Apt looks just like the pictures. Cute and cozy.
very neat and clean.
The room was very clean and organized. Everything you need is basically furnished. Did not feel uncomfortalbe at all about staying in it. Our bedroom was by the street side and that was a little noisy. There are a lot of things to do within walking distance. I would stay again when in the area.

From UsMagazine.com:
Is Snooki getting ready to ditch her "Jersey Shore" housemates for a solo show? Possibly.
The pint-sized MTV star addressed recent chatter that she'll soon helm her own "Shot at Love"-like reality series "Snookin' for Love" at a Golden Globes event on Friday.
"Definitely there is no set thing, but it has been talked about," Snooki told UsMagazine.com at the GBK Gift Lounge at the Mondrian Hotel.
"I got offers from VH1 and other reality networks," said Snooki (real name: Nicole Polizzi), 21.
And if Snooki's starring show focuses on her quest for a man, here's what the self-described "guidette" is looking for: "A guy I can be real with," she explained. "I love to be a dork; I love a guy with a sense of humor!"
Any Hollywood men she's got her eye on? "Paul Walker," she said. Yet Walker, 36 is taken: the actor has been dating Jasmine Pilchard-Gosnell for several years.
"I don't care!" Snooki said. "It doesn't matter. I will take him away. I will do the robbery."

General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 older-model compact cars in North America. It says a faulty ignition switch can shut of the cars' engines without warning and cause crashes. GM says six people have been killed in 22 crashes related to the problem. All were at high speeds. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts from the 2005 through 2007 model years and Pontiac G5s from 2007. General Motors is recalling nearly 780,000 compact cars in North America because the engines can shut down unexpectedly and cause crashes. The company says six people have been killed in crashes related to the problem. The recall affects Chevrolet Cobalts and Pontiac G5s from the 2005 through 2007 model years. U.S. safety regulators say the weight of the key ring and rough roads can move the ignition switch out of the run position, cutting the engine and electricity. If that happens, air bags may not work. GM says there have been 22 crashes from the problem. All were off the road and happened at high speeds. Dealers will replace the ignition switch for free. GM says owners should remove nonessential items from key rings until the problem is fixed.

In many ways, the art of modern theatrical sound design and Meyer Sound have come of age together. For nearly three decades, the Berkeley, Calif.-based pro-audio manufacturer has collaborated with many of the world's leading sound designers to develop innovative technologies that help them accomplish their ever-evolving goals and create increasingly sophisticated soundscapes.
This unique relationship dates back to the early 1980s when now-legendary Broadway sound designer Abe Jacob, engaged company president and CEO John Meyer to create a loudspeaker ideally suited to musical theatre productions. The resulting product UPA-1 was so successful that the UPA-1P (the self-powered version of the original UPA-1) is considered a keystone product to this day in theatrical productions around the world from Broadway to the West End, by Cirque du Soleil®, and in many other applications.
In 2005, Meyer Sound propelled theatrical sound design technology into a new realm when it acquired LCS Audio, innovator of the popular Matrix3™ show audio control system and the VRAS™ technology which Meyer Sound's breakthrough Constellation™ electroacoustic architecture is based on. The results have included the development of advanced digital audio tools and the seamless integration of digital mixing and signal processing with self-powered loudspeaker systems. Nowhere are the benefits of these new technologies more evident than in Las Vegas, where Meyer Sound products are at the heart of The Strip's most adventurous and in-demand shows and spectacles. Notable examples include Cirque du Soleil's "O"®, KA, the latest The Beatles LOVE™, and touring productions including Delirium™ and KOOZA™.
An industry leader for nearly three decades with more than three dozen patents and numerous awards to its name, Meyer Sound has introduced powerful and reliable tools for sound designers to deliver undistorted and intelligible sound for the most discriminating audience. As highly respected sound designer Jonathan Deans has said: "I know that when I put Meyer Sound loudspeakers into an environment, they will work there, and will continue to for many years. I also feel that I have the backing of the company. The individuals who work at Meyer take a personal interest in making the final product, in my case, the production, sound as good as it can be."
With more than 300 employees and one of the industry's largest engineering staffs in proportion to company size, Meyer Sound manufactures its products entirely at its Berkeley factory, where advanced technology is combined with precision craftsmanship. By performing core processes in house, including manufacturing of driver components, the company maintains the stringent quality standards needed to assure absolute consistency of performance from product to product.
Current theatrical productions using Meyer Sound products include Miss Saigon in Australia, Broadway musicals The Ritz, Grease and Legally Blonde, the London revival of the Sound of Music, and multiple resident and touring productions of the mega-hit Wicked. Recent Meyer Sound installations include the Hopkins Center in Hanover, N.H.; Pantages Theatre in Tacoma, W.A.; and the prestigious Royal Albert Hall in London.


text: Once again King has come up trumps with a follow up to the twisted tale of Abigail, only this time there are two Abigails to contend with for the price of admission.Who ever said that less is more? The story moves nicely and the songs avoid simply becoming a narration for the plot as has sometimes become the case in other Diamond releases (see Voodoo). The musical style is certainly different in flavour to the first chapter, less neo classical perhaps and more like the magnificant "9″ opus by King's other band which certainly allows the songs to breath a lot more. The stand out track for me is the lavish "Spirits" and indeed on a side note all the songs co-written with long time guitarist Andy La Roque have a little extra dimension of melody that helps things enormously. Other highlights must be opener "The Storm" with souless siren howls heard in the background depicting the storm in morbid harmonic style. This in turn is followed by the one two kick of "Mansion in Sorrow" with its catchy chorus and "Miriam" which both take us back screaming and kicking to where it all began. When I heard this release was coming along I really didn't have too much faith in how a sequel could be justified let alone interesting. However the plot is held together in a very clever method (though like me you may have to read the lyrics and supplied family tree a couple of times)and it certainly does not disappoint. The artwork supplied on the cover and booklet is awesome too and both certainly deserve a mention. Another triumphant release from our brother grim the one and only King Diamond!

Smart Taxes: An Open Invitation to Join the Pigou Club
AbstractMany economists favor higher taxes on energy-related products such as gasoline, while the general public is more skeptical. This essay, based on a talk given at the March 2008 meeting of the Eastern Economic Association, discusses various aspects of this policy debate. It focuses, in particular, on the use of these taxes to correct for various externalities — an idea advocated long ago by British economist Arthur Pigou. Eastern Economic Journal (2009) 35, 14–23. doi:10.1057/eej.2008.43

Anyone who has grown up in Amarillo has heard stories that Boys Ranch is a place for bad kids and that it is something like juvenile detention center. As a child, I heard the parents of my guy friends threaten to send them there if they didn't act accordingly. It was meant as an intimidation tactic, which may have worked. But, Boys Ranch is nothing like the reputation it has been given over the decades.

When a loved one passes away, it is a time for grieving families to make difficult decisions in arranging a funeral. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, funeral arrangements were generally done by the family of the deceased, including using their own home as a funeral parlor.

Every funeral that I have attended is filled with sadness and deep emotion. I understand that families grieve for the loss of a loved one in different ways and in the two years I have done obituaries, I have had some strange requests and heard even stranger things. However, nothing could have prepared me for what I saw on television.
I was doing some channel surfing and came across a show called "Best Funeral Ever" airing on TLC. Being the obit clerk, I was intrigued and decided to check it out.

Aimee Ferguson, wife and mother of three, noticed bite marks on her 2 year-old daughter around the first part of July. "At first I thought it was fleas. I bombed the house but my kids kept getting bites. I figured out that it was bedbugs and bombed again." After the second bombing, the bedbugs came out of their hiding places in the carpet and furniture and began crawling to the surface.

Zynga's Biggest Threat: Mark Pincus
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Those bullish on Zynga's impending IPO can point to the company's explosive growth and ties to Facebook.
But those with doubts about the social gaming company typically list founder Mark Pincus as its biggest threat.
|Zynga CEO Mark Pincus
While Zynga's reportedly stressful and overly intense company culture led by Pincus has boosted the FarmVille maker to a jaw dropping $10 billion valuation in only five years, it may have also created a brain drain once top developers can cash out and leave after the IPO.
"Some Zynga employees already started to contact me months ago," said Amish Shah, the founder of recruiting firm Millennium Search. "[A brain drain] doesn't need to happen with startups...it didn't happen with LinkedIn (LNKD) or with Salesforce (CRM) back in the day. I haven't heard about a problem like this in a while."Intensifying this concern for Zynga is a recent Wall Street Journal report alleging Pincus was threatening to fire several early employees unless they returned their unvested stock options. Stock options are often doled out by start-ups in lieu of cash as a way of attracting promising engineers and developers. Zynga may now have more difficulty attracting top talent who are likely to question the company's willingness to properly compensate its employees. "If Zynga bypasses giving employees options it's not only negative in the public eye, but it will be a concern attracting new employees," Shah said. "The press and the buzz are all negative--it's the first thing people will hear." Zynga's poor reputation may poise a particular challenge for the company as a war for the best engineering talent wages on across Silicon Valley. "I don't know how someone would want to work at Zynga with Google (GOOG) and Facebook throwing money at developers," said Sam Hamadeh, CEO of Privco, a firm that tracks data from privately held companies. Zynga's culture may also hamper its ability to broker deals with smaller gaming start-ups. The company has relied heavily on acquisitions for growth over the past two years, spending more than $140 million over the last seven quarters, according to regulatory filings.

An angry mother and father in a suburb of Sacramento are suing the Natomas Unified School District after their emotionally distraught seven-year-old daughter was left completely unattended and went wandering around town all by herself in the middle of a Wednesday school day.
The incident began to unfold around 9 a.m. on Dec. 18 at Jefferson Elementary School in Natomas, Calif, reports KTXL
Jason Dillard said his second-grade daughter, Samaya, had spilled some water in class. The teacher, Lupe Rodriguez, was frustrated about it. In response, Dillard said, Rodriguez dragged the seven-year-old girl out of class as she was sitting in her chair.
The lawsuit describes Rodriguez's behavior as "a fit of frightening rage," notes The Sacramento Bee.
Rodriguez allegedly left the girl outside the class for quite awhile until she eventually wandered down the hall, out the door and off school grounds.
"When I finally got the call from the school, it was 11:30," said Dillard. "So when I get to the school and I say, 'When was the last time you saw my child,' and they say, '9:30,' I'm thinking, 'Okay, this girl might not ever come back.'"
Meanwhile, Samaya had quite an adventure. She moseyed down a busy road. She traipsed over an interstate overpass at one point, crossing freeway entrance and exit ramps. She then kept walking, for about two miles altogether.
She stopped into a Walmart. She eventually ambled into an On the Border fast-casual restaurant and asked for a cup of water. Employees at On the Border contacted police and asked for an officer to come to the restaurant to make sure the girl was okay. The police refused, apparently believing that a seven-year-old girl walking around with no adult supervision in the middle of a school day is nothing to be alarmed about.
Video footage from both the Walmart and the On the Border restaurant shows that she was there.
The second grader then turned around and wandered back the way she came.
The girl's likely frantic father was the one who found her. She was walking around the family's neighborhood.
Samaya's mother, Damia Dillard, said the event was traumatizing for her daughter.

Comments about Topeak Hexus II Folding Tool:
This is my third multi-tool my others were either so small that they did not have the tool I needed or way too bulky and heavy. Well for the price and weight (167 grams) this one was for me. This one has it all, including tire lifts, so you save a few grams. This is a very versatile, functional, and portable collection of bike tools. The tire levers, while adequate for their intended use, feel a bit flimsy. I feel it's a matter of time before I snap one. Other than that it's a great product.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Thinking About Transferring to Imaging Science
RIT is currently planning a conversion to the semester system from it's long-standing quarter system. During this time, our curriculum will be undergoing a vast redesign and improvement process to make the educational experience that we offer even better than it has been in the past.
As such, this is as good a time as any to transfer to the Chester F. Carlson Center for Imaging Science.
During this transition period, we recommend that you contact Dr. Carl Salvaggio, the Undergraduate Coordinator for the Center, to explore the specifics of your individual transfer process.
Whether your are coming from another 4-year school, a 2-year community college, or even another program at RIT, we are ready to help you understand the transfer process and layout a plan to get you to the start of your exciting career in the field of Imaging Science.

Free preview going on until the 11th and it is only $85 and then $99 for the rest of the year.
Finally this is a quantum leap ahead for the NBA and is a sign that they finally are moving into the 21st century.
Most of the games on the LP schedule are blacked out but those games are on national TV so that is to be expected. I just hope that we get the Comcast feed and the Mikes on LP but something tells me that we will not.
Anyways enjoy.
Edit: national games will be on espn360 for those who have it and games on nbatv can be found on
that leaves only the games on tnt to deal with and I guess I will see you guys on channelsurfing/justin.tv/stoogetv.com
Edit #2: bos/cle is blacked out so we may be out of luck on that aspect even if we could of gotten it due to the area blackout.

THE SCREENING ROOM: Forever Dusty's Kirsten Holly Smith and Christina Sajous Sing "Baby, It's Cold Outside" (Video)
By Michael Gioia
Kirsten Holly Smith and Christina Sajous, stars of the new Off-Broadway musical Forever Dusty, recently recorded a music video of their version of "Baby, It's Cold Outside."
Smith, who stars as Dusty Springfield, and Sajous, who plays Dusty's lover Claire, recorded "Baby, It's Cold Outside" on stage at New World Stages, where the musical opened Nov. 18. The video recreates a duet that Dusty Springfield performed with Rob McCuen in 1978.
Forever Dusty, according to the producers, tells the "compelling and moving story of Dusty's journey, in a dramatic, high-energy musical filled with some of the most exciting pop songs ever written," including "Son of a Preacher Man," "You Don't Have to Say You Love Me," "The Look of Love" and many others.

It's Super Bowl Sunday, one of the few days of the year when even I can accept that baseball isn't in the center ring of the circus that is sports. I still insisted on finding a baseball angle for the day though, so I looked to find every player in MLB history who was born on a Super Bowl Sunday.
I did the same research for NFL players too. There have been more of them born on a Super Bowl Sunday, including three who also played in a Super Bowl (with a fourth likely to join them today). You can find those players here.
Before you read any further, take a guess at how many there have been.
There have been ~4,500 MLB players born since 1967 (when the first Super Bowl was played). If you divide 4,500 by 365, you get 12.3, which means mathematically speaking, you should expect 12 players to have been born on a Super Bowl Sunday. In this case, the math works out, because that's the number. There have been an even dozen players born on a Super Bowl Sunday through the years. As you'll see though, most of them were relative nobodies:
January 15, 1967
Super Bowl I - Packers defeat Chiefs, 35-10
Bill Wertz was born in Cleveland, Ohio. He was a relief pitcher for the Indians in 1993 and 1994. He tossed 64.0 innings with a 4.08 ERA (108 ERA+). 0.6 WAR
January 17, 1971
Super Bowl V - Colts defeat Cowboys, 16-13
Tyler Houston was born in Las Vegas Nevada. He was a third baseman, catcher, and first baseman for the Braves, Cubs, Indians, Brewers, Dodgers, and Phillies between 1996 and 2003. He had 479 career hits in 700 games, with 63 home runs and a .265 batting average. He also hit a home run n Game 1 of the 1998 NLDS. 1.5 WAR
January 14, 1973
Super Bowl VII - Dolphins defeat Redskins, 14-7
Troy Brohawn was born in Cambridge, Maryland. He was a relief pitcher for the Diamondbacks, Giants, and Dodgers between 2001 and 2003. He pitched 66.2 innings with a 4.86 ERA (94 ERA+). He also pitched 1 shutout inning in Game 6 of the 2001 World Series. 0.1 WAR
Rod Myers was born in Conroe, Texas. He was an outfielder for the Royals in 1996 and 1997. He appeared in 53 games and collected 44 hits, including 3 home runs.
January 12, 1975
Super Bowl IX - Steelers defeat Vikings, 16-6
Jorge Velandia was born in Caracas, Venezuela. He was a utility infielder for the Padres, Athletics, Mets, Rays, Blue Jays, and Indians between 1997 and 2008. He appeared in 174 games, collecting 46 hits, including 2 home runs. 0.0 WAR
January 20, 1980
Super Bowl XIV - Steelers defeat Rams, 31-19
Franklyn German was born in San Cristobal, Dominican Republic. He was a relief pitcher for the Tigers, Marlins, and Rangers between 2002 and 2008. He appeared in 155 games, throwing 158.2 innings with a 4.25 ERA (1023 ERA+). 1.0 WAR
Luis Martinez was born in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. He started 4 games for the Brewers in 2003, throwing 16.1 innings with a 9.92 ERA (44 ERA+). -0.6 WAR

So, yep, the Akron Zips have hired North Alabama's Terry Bowden as their new head coach. You may recall him from his '90s work with the Auburn Tigers. Thursday afternoon, Bowden said hello to Akron via a video tweeted by the school mascot, which is all pretty cute.
For expert reaction, we'll turn to MAC blog Hustle Belt:
Color me a bit shocked on this hire. It really did come out of nowhere, but that'll happen when Wistrcill demands nobody speak to anybody, not even at the deli counter (I'm assuming). Heck, just yesterday those who are confirming the Bowden reports said that the job would be given to Temple OC Scot Loeffler. Things change quickly, I suppose.
But the Akron faithful - and at this point, faith is all they have - seem pretty happy with this hire. And I don't blame them. At this stage in the game, their own alumnus were turning down the job and I felt they were left with a "reach" hire. Bowden isn't a reach. He may have signed a one-year extension with UNA earlier this month, which is odd, but Akron can obviously throw more money at him.
