DULUTH — While academic prowess by its incoming freshman class is higher than its ever been, the University of Georgia continues to lag behind peer institutions like the University of Florida in other academic and fundraising categories.
The focus of UGA's new president, Jere Morehead, is to close that gap as the institution strives to remain committed to a quality student experience. Morehead told a lunch crowd at the Rotary Club of Gwinnett on Tuesday at The 1818 Club that while UGA is proud to have recipients of prestigious awards like the Rhode, Truman, Goldwater and Udall scholarships, it ranks below peer and neighboring institutions in its private endowment.
In private endowment rankings, UGA is No. 98, while the University of Kentucky (83), University of Florida (56), Georgia Tech (43) and the University of North Carolina (30) all rank higher, Morehead said.
UGA is also behind UF in endowed faculty positions, which are created from private gifts to fund research and expenses for professors. UGA has 229 of those positions, while UF has 380, and recently announced a fundraising campaign to reach 500 in the next three years.
"So you see the work that we have to do if we are to remain competitive with Florida," said Morehead, who became UGA's 22nd president on July 1 after 27 years as a faculty member. "Not only in Jacksonville in a few weeks, but also when you compare us between Gainesville and Athens."
In a fundraising campaign that's in a silent phase, Morehead said one focus will be to raise the level of giving for the charter scholarships, which have been "sitting stagnant at $1,000 a year for the last 20 years."
The fundraising push comes at a time when the university recently was ranked No. 20 by U.S. News and World Report among public research universities and was ranked No. 2 by Washington Monthly in its annual "Bang for the Buck" college rankings.
UGA's latest graduation rate was an all-time high at 83 percent, and freshman retention rate was 94 percent. This year's freshman class, with 5,150 students, averaged a 1,280 score on the SAT, a 29 on the ACT and a 3.86 grade-point average. Students admitted to the school's honors program averaged a 4.07 grade-point average, a 1,462 on the SAT and a 33 on the ACT.
"If we want to continue to recruit great students, and continue to improve our retention and graduation rates, then in my opinion we will have to remain on a course to raise more private support to ensure that these students are well-educated and well-supported while they're at the University of Georgia," Morehead said.
Part of the reason UGA is behind peer institutions, Morehead said, is because it became too reliant on state support, which has dropped since the Great Recession. He said places like UF learned the lesson of finding alternative funding sources earlier, and UF also invests more in its development and alumni relations operations.
"We'll have to put more resources into, and more focus on that area, and that's what we'll be doing as we move forward with this campaign," Jere Morehead said. "We've made a lot of progress over a long period of time in fundraising, but I think we've got to step forward even more aggressively if we want to achieve the goals we have for the institution's future."
One topic Morehead avoided much discussion of was the UGA football team, which has lost two straight games. But he applauded football coach Mark Richt.
"The thing I most appreciate about Coach Richt is his honesty and how he comports himself, his personality, and even now dealing with all the injuries and adversities that he's faced in the last few weeks, he still acts like the same person that was beating South Carolina and LSU," Morehead said. "So I think he'll find a way to get through these challenges and turn the corner, hopefully in a few weeks, particularly if we can get some of our players back."

Maddy told me that recently she was doing gigs in a wedding band and she couldn't believe the contrast between the meticulousness of how weddings are planned vs. how haphazard the music companies handle themselves. For instance, after watching various videos, a bride found a band (featuring a lead with long blonde hair) she thought was perfect and got the music company to hire them. When the wedding was about to happen, the company realized that the band she picked wasn't available so they told another group of musicians to show up and pretend they were the band! The told Maddy that she couldn't answer to "Maddy." She had to tell everyone her name was Rebecca! And, they added, if anyone asked why she had brown hair, she had to say that she dyed it right after the video! Not since Running On Empty (Anybody? That 80's movie about people in the witness protection program?)
This week at Unbroken Circle we had two "Saturday Night Live" stars come! The Wednesday matinee had Tina Fey in the audience and the Wednesday evening had Ana Gasteyer! Tina was there with her husband Jeff Richmond, and they were telling me about three different songs they're writing with Nell Benjamin for their musical version of "Mean Girls." So exciting! Tina also told me about what she called the "worst job in New York." During the week's horrific heatwave, she had passed a man dressed in a very heavy-looking robot costume walking about Times Square. She was so horrified by what he had to do that she actually took a video which she then showed me. It's so hard and fun to watch because as you watch you know it has to be over 100 degrees in his costume but it's not even like what he's doing is worth it in terms of results. He's simply walking like a robot in a heat stroke-inducing outfit while everyone in Times Square completely ignores him. The video is hilarious/devastating.Continued...

Folks like me write and say a lot of things in columns, blog posts, TV hits, and tweets. Some of our assertions are false, and many of our predictions are wrong. Last year I tried to kindle a blogger tradition of an annual confession of sorts: The worst instances of my error over the past year. For 2010, I listed my three worst errors/bad predictions. This year, I'm going with one serious lapse in fact-checking standards, and one prediction that looks like it will be proven very wrong next week.
Paul Krugman didn't really lament the lack of earthquake damage. We had an earthquake. I made a good joke on Twitter grounded in the odd Keynesian notions of New York Times hate columnist Paul Krugman: "Krugman says it wasn't big enough." Then someone who had made a hoax Krugman account on Google Plus made it look like Krugman was actually extolling the virtues of earthquake damage. I then tweeted that Krugman seriously was saying it wasn't big enough. Dave Weigel rightly smacked me on this one. I apologized at the time. It was embarassing.
I overestimated Rick Perry. Something about Perry -- his ability to raise money, his record at winning statewide in a big state, his hair -- made me instantly treat him as a top-tier candidate before he proved himself. I repeatedly said that he and Romney were equals. On the McLaughlin Group taped in August, just days after Perry entered the race, I said Perry would win Iowa, get Michele Bachmann's endorsement, and then go into a long one-on-one with Romney. (Here's the clip, with my prediction at the 26 minute mark).

The top two names I would like to see Dallas pick in the 4th round are OG Clint Boling from Georgia and the 3-4 DE Christian Ballard from Iowa.
Two other guys I would give consideration to are S DeAndre McDaniels from Clemson and OLB Sam Acho from Texas.
But if I had to put money on the pick I'm going with WR Edmund Gates from ACU.
Some guys that interest me in the 5th round would be: S Tyler Sash from Iowa, Jerrell Powe from Ole Miss, and Greg Romeus from Pitt.
In the 6th lets just go ahead and pick Kicker Alex Henery from Nebraska. We've never really had a great kicker and this guy looks like the best one to come out in years.
What say you?

Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has proposed a series of cuts to the country's military budget that would shrink the U.S. Army to its smallest size since before World War II. Here's a look at some of the cuts by the numbers:
440,000 to 450,000
The number of troops the Army would be cut to under Hagel's spending proposal.
The number of troops the Army had at its height after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
The number of troops currently in the U.S. Army.
$3.5 billion
The estimated cost savings over five years of eliminating the Air Force's A-10 Warthog aircraft fleet, which Hagel called a single-purpose aircraft designed for Cold War operations.
The proposed budget would impose a one-year salary freeze for general and flag officers, while increasing basic pay for military personnel by 1 percent.
$1 billion
The additional amount proposed for new jet engine research. Hagel wants the Navy to develop a new frigate to take the place of the Littoral Combat Ships, which are being cut.
The number of additional Marines that would be assigned to bolster security at embassies around the world. Diplomatic security has come under close scrutiny since the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, in 2012.
The number that special operations forces would be increased to (from 66,000) under Hagel's plan to better meet the tactical needs of a modern military requiring counterterrorism and crisis response.

Neuropharmacology; Neurobehavioral Effects
of Abused Drugs During Development
Cocaine abuse by pregnant
women represents a significant health problem
in this country, as infants exposed to cocaine
in utero may exhibit various behavioral
and neurological abnormalities. In my laboratory,
we are using the rat as a model animal to
determine the mechanisms of cocaine action
on the developing brain and the neurochemical
and behavioral consequences of chronic prenatal
cocaine exposure.
Cocaine action on the adult
brain is well established. The compound
binds to membrane transporters for dopamine
(DA), norepinephrine (NE), and serotonin
(5-HT), thereby blocking the synaptic reuptake
of these transmitters and potentiating their
activity. One of the aims of our research
has been to determine whether similar processes
occur during prenatal development.
Our studies have demonstrated
binding of [3H]cocaine and the cocaine analog
[125I]RTI-55 to DA and 5-HT transporters
in fetal rat brain. Such binding is functional
in that cocaine inhibits DA uptake into
nerve terminals during late fetal development
with the same potency it exhibits in adulthood.
In vitro autoradiography has
also been used to investigate the anatomical
localization of [125I]RTI-55 binding sites
in fetal and adult brains. Other experiments
have shown that the offspring of cocaine-treated
mothers exhibit a transient stimulation
of tyrosine hydroxylase activity (the rate-limiting
enzyme in catecholamine biosynthesis) and
a reduction in DA transporter binding in
the corpus striatum.
A new direction of our research
program is to begin investigating the influence
of prenatal cocaine on signal transduction
mechanisms in the developing brain.
To this end, we are planning
studies of second messenger systems (e.g.,
DA-sensitive adenylyl cyclase), induction
of immediate-early genes such as c-fos,
and the trans-synaptic regulation of neuropeptide
gene expression in the striatum.
Finally, we have also used
behavioral approaches to determine some
of the functional effects of prenatal cocaine
treatment. Thus far, we have found that
rat pups exposed to cocaine in utero show
an increased sensitivity to behavioral activation
produced by a cocaine challenge given postnatally
but are less sensitive to the cataleptic
effects of the DA D2 receptor antagonist
haloperidol. In future studies, we plan
to characterize more fully the responses
of such animals to both DA agonists and

Where's Brian?on November 29, 2013 at 8:32 pm
Update: 12.20.13
I had my first post-surgery visit with the surgeon this week and he is thrilled with how things look! I cannot walk for 2 months but everything is looking good and I am on the road to recovery.
I am going to start working a little bit after Christmas to build a nice buffer and increase the time I can tolerate sitting up at the desk. I will also finish some improvements to the site with a new cast page, better archives, and pages for my personal campaign journals. Good things that are long overdue and will add more content for everyone to enjoy. I am excited to get back to work but it will be a slow process. My health comes first (despite my best efforts to push too hard/fast) and I'll be better for it by not rushing comics or recovery.
Oh hey! Take a look at the hardware in my leg!
Update: 12.16.13
Hello all! Here is a busted knee update:
Surgery went well (very well based on what the surgeon told me) and I have spent the week resting with my leg in a large brace. As things stand, I cannot walk. I have a strict non-weight restriction for at least 8 weeks. I have a wheelchair but sitting up at my desk to draw has been a real issue as it causes a lot of pain. I only just moved my computer and tablet to the dining room table and it is a perfect set-up but my leg can rest there for only so long.
It is maddening. I want to draw my comic and make people laugh but right now, I am seriously limited. This applies to my day job as well. I've missed work but I plan to return this week and do my best. It's just me, so I have to go back to make money and pay the bills. Such is life.
Where does this leave us with the comic and Christmas arc? Well, I have my first follow-up appointment on Thursday and we'll see what the surgeon says about what I can and cannot do when it comes to work. That's all I can do right now. It looks like this year is kind of blown out of the water but I am going to try to post something before the holidays.
I am so sorry. This is killing me and I know I am losing credibility and a ton of readers by not being here to post comics.
I am going to do what the surgeon tells me to do, go to physical therapy, and get healthy. I want to walk again. I want to sit and draw my comic again. It's just going to take time.
Original Post:
I am finally able to sit at my desk for a few minutes and I want to fill everyone in on what is going on.
First things first, on the evening of November 25, 2013 I fell off of my attic ladder while retrieving Christmas decorations and broke my knee. Yes, broke it.
I just lost my balance and went off the ladder but landed in such a way that I jammed my left leg hard. It didn't hurt much initially but when I stood up and my knee went in a direction it wasn't supposed to go, I called my neighbor Rodney for help.
There was a trip to the emergency room, x-rays and CT scans were performed, and the words "wrecked" were used to describe the condition of my left knee. The short version is that the fall and impact damaged the weight-bearing side of my knee and I cannot walk on it at all. It's in pretty bad shape, guys.
A follow-up with a specialist the next day confirmed that my knee is indeed wrecked and I am scheduled to have surgery on December 6, 2013, where they will insert a metal plate and screws to repair the damage to the bone (allowing me to walk on it again). After surgery, I will begin the lengthy process of recovery and physical therapy to walk again without support. This is the real kick in the balls as the recovery process can take many, many months from what I am told. It will be an uphill climb but I know I can do it.
What does this mean for d20Monkey? Well let me ease your minds a bit by saying that I am not quitting. Never.
However, until surgery next week and for a short period of time afterwards, I have to keep my leg elevated and I am on a respectable dose of pain killers. I am looking into options to set up my tablet in a way that I can use it on the couch or bed. I want to draw and it's killing me to be away from the comic right now. I know some smart folks who may be able to help me with that so I'll keep you posted.
Additionally, the Christmas arc this year may be gutted as this is all happening right now. I do not want to do that but we'll see how it goes.
I'm sorry for the delay/interruption guys but this is something I cannot control, unfortunately. I will post more comics as soon as I can draw them but right now, my knee is hurting and getting comfortable to draw is a bit of a pain. I'll do my best, though.
To the kind folks who sent emails and messages of support and my local friends who have dropped by to help me with chores and errands, thank you so much. It means a lot to me.
This is going to be a tough time but I know that I can overcome and get back in the saddle. I love to make comics and cool things for everyone. It is my goal in life to do it full-time and this is just another obstacle to overcome. It's possible. It just takes time.
Thank you for your patience.
- Brian "Clark Griswald" Patterson

The Alabama A&M students have finally made it home.
The Forestry Club of Alabama A&M were stranded in Childersburg for two days due to the arctic blast. The nine members of the club said they were thankful to be home.
"We're very fortunate," Dr. Kozma Naka said. "I was listening to the radio during the night and I was very fortunate I was in that space there and sleeping on that cot."
The group was traveling back from an event in Panama City Beach when they got caught in Childersburg, taking shelter at the Childersburg Community Center.

Round 2 Fight like a Girl I love this song and the lyrics...I'll be good as new when I get over you, sometimes I think I love you still, wonder if I always will, I'll get over you. I'm really not a fighter, my emotions get the best of me and I usually end up crying and keeping things bottled up inside and put a smile on my face so everyone thinks I'm okay. To fight like a girl in this song for me is a fight with-in yourself, trying to forget someone telling yourself you don't care, struggling with your feelings, holding it all inside and putting on a front so no one knows your hurting, but crying when your alone trying to push away feelings you don't wanna have for someone who really doesn't care about you, taking on most of the blame asking yourself what you did wrong. It's definitely not a healthy way to handle/cope with things, it's better to talk to someone you trust, get it out come to terms with it and do your best to move on. I believe some of our biggest battles/fights are within ourselves, everyone's battle is unique to them as we are all different and have different personalities. I was in a girl fight/cat fight a few times when I was a kid but only because I was pushed into it and had no choice, it was fight back or let someone kick the crap out of me. I would also jump in if anyone I loved was being hurt, I don't really agree with fighting but sadly sometimes your put in a position where you don't have many options. I think your a better person to walk away and win a personal victory then to fight and win a popularity victory/big head thinking your a tough person victory.

If one was searching for the teeth behind the city Department of Health's two-year-old letter restaurant grading system, look no farther than 235 Dekalb Ave.
It's there that became the latest Fort Greene-Clinton Hill victim of the DOH's toughened stance on Tuesday.
Along with stricter enforcement, which is said to have caused the permanent closure of on Greene Avenue and the temporary closure of last year, DOH created this searchable map of restaurant inspections.
The new map allows diners to pinpoint not only letter grades received by restaurants, concessions and food carts—but also to view specific evidence of insects, rodents and other unappetizing conditions.
So what do you think of the new digitized restaurant inspection system?

London - David Beckham was awarded the most stylish athlete at a children's award show in Los Angeles.
The LA Galaxy star beat Dwyane Wade of the NBA's Miami Heat, Serena Williams and Brian Wilson of the San Francisco Giants baseball team to take home the 'That's How I Roll' award for the most stylish athlete at the 2nd Annual Cartoon Network Hall Of Game Awards.
The award was given to him by viewers of Cartoon Network, whose audience is made up of kids between the ages of two and 17, and Beckham took his youngest son Cruz up on stage to accept the award with him, the Daily Mail reported.
The high-energy event let viewers vote for their favourite sports stars and sports moments of the year, and was hosted by basketball legend Shaquille O'Neal.
Wearing a checked blue and white shirt jeans and a sporting a quiff, Beckham held Cruz's hand as he led him into the stage and thanked his young fans for the honour.

What should the Rams do if the first round were to shake out like this?
(1.) Indianapolis Colts- Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford
-People have been saying Griffin could go at this spot, but I just don't see it.
(2.) Washington Redskins- Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor
-After giving up a bunch of picks to move up, the Skins grab their franchise QB.
(3.) Minnesota Vikings- Matt Kalil, OT, USC
-The Vikings can plug in Kalil at LT for the next decade.
(4.) Cleveland Browns- Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahome State
-The Browns have needed receiver help forever now.
(5) Tampa Bay Buccaneers- Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama
-The Bucs get the stud and 3-down back they have been looking for in T-Rich.
(6.) St. Louis Rams- Morris Claiborne, CB, LSU
-The Rams grab the BPA and now have a great tandem in Finnegan and Claiborne.
(7.) Jacksonville Jaguars- Melvin Ingram, DE, South Carolina
-After signing Robinson, the Jags address their next most glaring need in Ingram.
(8.) Miami Dolphins- Ryan Tannehill, QB, Texas A&M
-After missing out on Flynn the Dolphins select their next QB in Tannehill.
(9.) Carolina Panthers- Dontari Poe, NT, Memphis
-The winner of this year's combine could come in and start right away for an awful defense.
(10.) Buffalo Bills- Michael Floyd, WR, Notre Dame
-After paying Fitzpatrick last year, the Bills need to get him more weapons.
(11.) Kansas City Chiefs- David DeCastro, OG, Stanford
-This guy is a beast and would step in from day one and be a starter.
(12.) Seattle Seahawks- Luke Kuechly, MLB, Boston College
-The Seahawks fill a need by getting the productive Kuechly.
(13.) Arizona Cardinals- Riley Reiff, OT, Iowa
-The Cardinals need a lot of help on the offensive line so Reiff is their guy.
(14.) Dallas Cowboys- Stephon Gilmore, CB, South Carolina
-After releasing Newman, the Cowboys need to get better in the secondary.
(15.) Philadelphia Eagles- Fletcher Cox, DT, Mississippi State
-The Eagles get a steal as Cox falls to the middle of the first round.
(16.) New York Jets- Courtney Upshaw, DE/OLB, Alabama
-The Jets need to add more pass rushers and Upshaw has great value here.
(17.) Cincinnati Bengals- Kendall Wright, WR, Baylor
-Andy Dalton could use another weapon at his disposal.
(18.) San Diego Chargers- Whitney Mercilus, DE/OLB, Illinois
-The Chargers need more pass rushers. Mercilus fits the bill.
(19.) Chicago Bears- Quinton Coples, DE, North Carolina
-The Bears could use another pass rusher to complement Julius Peppers.
(20.) Tennessee Titans- Michael Brockers, DT, LSU
-The Titans continue to upgrade the defensive line with this pick.
(21.) Cincinnati Bengals- Dre Kirkpatrick, CB, Alabama
-Leon Hall suffered a torn Achilles last season so this pick makes lots of sense.
(22.) Cleveland Browns- Jonathan Martin, OT, Stanford
-The Browns got Blackmon at 4 and now upgrade the offensive line with Martin.
(23.) Detroit Lions- Janoris Jenkins, CB, North Alabama
-The Lions need help in the secondary and Jenkins is also arguably the BPA.
(24.) Pittsburgh Steelers- Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford
-With Heath Miller regressing, the super athletic Fleener gives Big Ben another weapon.
(25.) Denver Broncos- Cordy Glenn, OG, Georgia
-The Broncos could use an upgrade on the interior of the offensive line with Glenn.
(26.) Houston Texans- Stephen Hill, WR, Georgia Tech
-The Texans finally find someone to take some pressure off of Andre Johnson.
(27.) New England Patriots- Devon Still, DT, Penn State
-The Patriots need to improve on the interior of their defensive line.
(28.) Green Bay Packers- Nick Perry, DE/OLB, USC
-The Packers need someone who can rush the passer opposite of Clay Matthews.
(29.) Baltimore Ravens- Peter Konz, C, Wisconsin
-With Matt Birk getting old, Konz makes lots of sense at this spot.
(30.) San Francisco 49ers- Alshon Jeffery, WR, South Carolina
-The 49ers have showed they are committed to getting more playmakers for Smith.
(31.) New England Patriots- Mark Barron, SS, Alabama
-The Patriots need help at safety after James Sanders and Meriweather were cut last year.
(32.) New York Giants- Mike Adams, OT, Ohio State
-Kareem McKenzie is a FA so the Giants could use a tackle.
In this scenario, which I think could very likely happen, we end up taking the BPA in Morris Claiborne instead of filling a more pressing need. If the first round were to shake out like this which positions/players would you most likely be interested in taking with our next three picks of #33, #39, and #65 with needs at OL, DT, WR, and OLB?

Jeff Triplett and Valarie Houston: Racial tensions were running hot in Sanford after neighborhood watchman George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin. Cool heads emerged in the person of Triplett, Sanford's mayor, and Houston, pastor at Allen Chapel. Triplett remained calm, reasonable and, importantly, respectful as he faced the national media and huge crowds. Houston, meanwhile, advocated a message of peace and love, while also advocating for justice. Both were determined to help their community get through a difficult and painful time. And the community did, thanks in large part to their leadership.
Triplett, Houston runners up for leadership after George Zimmerman shot Trayvon Martin

Washoe County School District Superintendent Pedro Martinez laid out his plans moving forward in his first "State of Education" address on Tuesday night.
The superintendent listed his top priorities for the next five years, including raising standards at all grade levels, securing more funding from the legislature and boosting graduation rates.
Martinez says if there's one point people should take from his address, it's that standards within the district are changing. That means implementing his "plan of action" -- a pared-down version of the district's strategic plan.
It calls for boosting graduation rates with early intervention, tutoring after school programs and better assessment. Martinez wants to grow the "Signature Academy" program, close achievement gaps in at-risk and minority populations, increase gifted programming and add more online classes. It also includes implementing the common core standards -- a new set of curriculum requirements that increase difficulty at all levels.
"Too many of our students are still at-risk of not graduating, said Martinez. "Too many of our children are in need of remedial classes, and the common core standards, implemented from kindergarten through the 12th grade over the long run is going to solve that problem."
With the legislative session starting up, the district is sponsoring a bill to help fund capital improvements at the schools.
"That is the area right now where we feel we're the most vulnerable," Martinez said. "We have buildings right now that frankly are falling apart."
Assembly Bill 46 would increase average property taxes by about $8 per month. That would generate about $20 million every year to fix broken heating and air systems, old fixtures and leaky roofs.
"I go in there and the thermostats are broken. The kids are going to school in shorts in the winter because it's too hot to concentrate," says Kelley Miner, a member of the Nevada PTA.
"I want our families to know that we are going to make sure their children are better prepared than ever before, we want to make sure our children are competitive across the country," Martinez says.
Martinez also mentioned that the district is running a nearly $22 million deficit, which he expects to grow to about $32 million by 2014. One of his goals over the next two years is to eliminate that deficit and balance the budget.

ATLANTA (AP) — A federal judge is temporarily preventing Georgia's governor from replacing DeKalb County school board members who were recommended for suspension by the state Board of Education.
Governor. Nathan Deal had scheduled a news conference for 11 a.m. Monday to announce whether he would follow the recommendation to suspend six of the nine board members. WSB-TV reports that the order from U.S. District Judge Richard Story doesn't restrain the governor from suspending board members, but it enjoins him from implementing any decision pending a court hearing Friday.
The judge's ruling was in response to a request from the DeKalb County school board. The school board is challenging the Georgia law that allows the governor to suspend board members at the recommendation of the state Board of Education.

Organizers of the second annual BEYOND event are expecting a larger turnout this year. BEYOND is a day of outdoor activities happening on the first Saturday of the year.
BEYOND was inspired by survivors of the January 8th shooting and their loved ones, including Ross Zimmerman. He's the father of congressional staffer, Gabe Zimmerman, who was killed when Jared Loughner opened fire at the Congress on Your Corner event nearly two years ago. Five others were fatally shot.
"Various people have said various things about what kind of athlete he was," says Zimmerman. He says his son had more outdoors enthusiasm than he did endurance.
"We went up to the Grand Canyon a couple of times and trotted across the Grand Canyon together. Though I admit the first time he abandoned me because he could go a lot faster."
Playful competition and time together were the highlights of many family trips. Zimmerman wants other families to enjoy the same values at BEYOND events, which start early Saturday morning and run throughout the day.
"Almost on a daily basis I miss Gabe and have this feeling that not much is worth while without him around," says Zimmerman. "There's things that need to be done, and Gabe would have wanted those things to be done."
For information on BEYOND events, check out their website.

The Kaiser Family Foundation has provided an interesting online tool that illustrates how a government subsidy may help you pay your health insurance premiums. The calculator is based on the requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act signed into law on March 23, 2010 by President Obama.
The calculator illustrates what your premium and level of government assistance might be. The information applies to people under age 65 who buy their own health insurance through one of the planned health exchanges and do not have a health plan through an employer, Medicare or Medicaid.
Although the ability to buy insurance in an exchange will not be available until 2014, this tool will allow you to get a sense of the premium and subsidy differences depending on your income, the size of your family, and where you live.
The tool comes with a number of caveats, so it is important to read the directions that come with the calculator. I ran some numbers for some people I know.
Some Examples
My friend Jerry is 51, married, and has two teenage children. He is self-employed and buys his own health insurance for the family. His yearly income is $74,000 and he lives in a high cost area. Based on this information, his total health insurance premium is $15,269 of which, he would pay $7,030 and the government would pay $8,239.
A woman I met at our local food bank works two part-time jobs and has no health insurance. She is 32, not married and has no children or dependents. Last year her income was 23,450. Based on this information, her total health insurance premium is $3,363 of which, she would pay $1,613 and the government would pay $1,750.

In 1856, Booker T. Washington was born a slave on the farm of James Burroughs near Hardy, in Franklin County.
After the Civil War, Washington became founder and first principal of the Tuskeegee Normal and Industrial School in Alabama.
An American educator, author, orator, and political leader, he was the dominant figure in the African American community in the United States from 1890 to 1915.
His birthplace is now a national monument, operated by the National Parks Service.

Before the 2010 season, the Ravens conceded that they needed a new playmaking receiver for Joe Flacco. Ozzie Newsome and company went out on a search and acquired Anquan Boldin from the Arizona Cardinals for 2010 3rd and 4th round draft picks. During his tenure in Baltimore, Boldin performed admirably, culminating in a legendary postseason performance while propelling the Ravens to a Superbowl. But this is not about Anquan. This is about LaQuan.
LaQuan Williams arrived in 2011 as an undrafted free agent that spent the entire offseason training with Torrey Smith. As the Ravens had just drafted Smith, they felt it was appropriate to give his Maryland teammate and Baltimore native a shot at the team. Despite only making 33 career receptions for 436 yards and 3 touchdowns, Williams was known in college for his special teams prowess.
It was this special teams prowess that earned Williams a roster spot as a rookie. He showed the ability to block, be a gunner, rush the punter, and even provide the occasional kick return. He is, by no means of the imagination, a burner, but rather uses his 6' 195 lb frame in a very physical and swift sense.
Going into his sophomore season, Williams was determined to prove himself as more than just a special teams player. As a rookie, he had 4 receptions for 46 yards, and was determined to build on that. Showing his sticky hands and improved route running in practice, Williams seemed to have returned a different man but would ultimately not have single reception in 2012.
Now, it is 2013. The wide receiver race is wide open. There is no Anquan Boldin or Dennis Pitta. The Ravens need a player with reliable hands who is not afraid to run through the middle of a defense. The competitors were believed to be Tandon Doss and Deonte Thompson, but Doss has been unimpressive to say the least and Thompson is injured. The time is now for Williams to step up.
Against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, stepping up is exactly what LaQuan Williams did. Williams showed he can still play special teams by recovering a blocked punt for a touchdown, while officially putting his name into the wide receiver competition. With 2 receptions for 32 yards and an additional touchdown, Williams flashed the ability to be the new slot receiver in Baltimore.
With Torrey Smith and Jacoby Jones, this is the best chance Quan 2.0 will get at meaningful playing time as a professional football wide receiver.

The Emerging Technologies team funds the research and development of cost-effective, energy-efficient building technologies within five years of commercialization. Learn more about the:
Key Technologies
Specific technologies pursued within the Emerging Technologies team include:
- Lighting: advanced solid-state lighting systems, including core technology research and development, manufacturing R&D, and market development
- Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC): heat pumps, heat exchangers, and working fluids
- Building Envelope: highly insulating and dynamic windows, cool roofs, building thermal insulation, façades, daylighting, and fenestration
- Water Heating: heat pump water heaters and solar water heaters
- Appliances: refrigerators, clothes washers, and clothes dryers, etc.
- Sensors and Controls: low-cost "smart" sensors and sensor systems, fault detection and diagnostic algorithm development, and open architecture building controls platform to enable enhanced communication and control within and outside the building
- Building Energy Modeling Tools: EnergyPlus whole building simulation program, software calibration and verification, user interface, and middleware applications.
In 2010, U.S. residential and commercial building energy expenditures totaled $431.1 billion, of which $301.6 billion was spent on electricity, and the remainder on natural gas and petroleum-based products (Buildings Energy Data Book). Total building energy expenditures are estimated to grow to $474.9 billion (in 2010 $) by the year 2030. Achieving BTP's goal of a 50% reduction in primary energy consumption by 2030 could lead to nationwide annual energy savings of approximately $128 billion assuming a primary energy use multiplier of 3 for electricity. This equates to energy savings per capita of ˜ $350/year, using the U.S. Census Bureau estimate of the 2030 population.
Lighting: In 2012, BTO awarded the first L-Prize to Phillips who demonstrated a 60 watts (W) replacement bulb that uses only 9.7 W to produce 910 lumens (lm) (93.4 lm/W). In 2010, similar bulbs produced 55 lm/W.
General Electric's (GE's) prototype for the GeoSpring Hybrid Water Heaters was inspired by DOE research efforts in the late1990s through the early 2000s. In 2008, GE entered into a cooperative research and development agreement (CRADA) with Oak Ridge National Laboratory to test their electric heat pump water heater, resulting in the final model that uses less than half the energy of a conventional 50-gallon tank water heater. The GeoSpring water heater saves families $325 per year on energy bills.
U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) helped fund the design and development of a high-volume, efficient manufacturing system to build high-performance, energy-saving insulating glass units for residential windows. The innovative new system manufactured by GED Integrated Solutions, Inc., enhances the window industry's ability to provide homeowners with windows that can reduce their energy bills.
Concept 3D, a software and services company, used Energy Plus and Open Studio to develop SimuWatt, a photovoltaic (PV) assessment mobile application designed to lower the cost of PV installation. Because of this application, Concept 3D has been selected as part of the DOE SunShot Incubator, which provides early stage assistance to startup companies to overcome technological barriers to commercialization.
Packaged air conditioners and heat pumps serve over 60% of the commercial building floor space in the United States, contributing to about 230 trillion British thermal units (Btu) of energy consumption annually. DOE funded the evaluation of a number of control strategies that can be implemented in a controller. These strategies can be retrofit into an existing unit to improve the operational efficiency of packaged HVAC equipment. The results from detailed simulation analysis show significant energy (24% to 35%) and cost savings (38%) from fan, cooling, and heating energy consumption when packaged units are retrofitted with advanced control packages.

"I expected to go to the kiosk machine and immediately be able to renew my driver's license," said Agnes McDonald.
However, that did not happen for Agnes. Instead, renewing her driver's license turned into a legal nightmare. That's because Agnes goes by her middle name, maiden name and then her married name which is Agnes Grantham McDonald.
It's that three name combination she's used for 50 years, that appears on her social security records as well.
"When I get to the kiosk machine it says that the names don't match," said McDonald.
That's because her first name "Ella" was still on her drivers license and since it didn't match her social security records, this 70 year old was kicked out of the system by the Department of Public Safety, and so will any one else whose names don't match, leaving them with two options: go to court and legally change the name on your birth certificate, or change your name with the social security administration.
"I was a week away from my license running out and I thought how am I going to get this done," said McDonald.
"It's actually very common," said Department of Public Safety spokesman Jon Kalahar.
Kalahar says the reason for the hang-up is the department's outdated information system being used, which he says only allows for one identity, as a way to protect against fraud.
"In the world that we live in right now with the technology people have to rip off your identity, rip off your name, it's something that we have as kind of a security feature that we have in place," said Kalahar.
Kalahar says the system is set to be upgraded in the Spring, to better deal with the problem, but until then folks like Agnes McDonald are left with those two options. Taking the faster route, she went to court and legally changed her name. Through records fees, attorney fees and court costs, it came with a price tag of about $400 before she had a new license in hand.
"Senior citizens in many instances would be blown out of the water if they found out this is what they were going to have to do and many would not renew their license as a result," said McDonald.
There's currently no notification system in place to let folks know their records don't match and most find out when they try and get a new license. The Department of Public Safety is recommending folks check their social security records and driver's license to make sure those names match.

Manner Matters: How to Share Food Without Being Rude
I found this post very well written, although not quite as interesting to me as some of the earlier topics addressed. In general, I agree with Daniel's remarks, but at the same time I'm ok with anyone commenting that they found the topic uninteresting. If I disagree with their comment, or don't care for their tone, I can respond accordingly, or ignore them, as I choose. Isn't that what you do in a "community"?

Who was even once in Mugello was able to admire what nature has created in this land, breathtaking landscapes, forests crossed by streams, lakes and mountains.
It will also why, at Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort, respect for nature is considered a core value: we try to actively contribute to its protection.
In fact you should know that our heating system is based on a wood boiler, which heats the radiators and water for showering: power for its use is the waste and clean-up of our woods, so as to preserve the trees and not producing waste. In addition, the CO2 emissions of the boiler are much lower than combustion of methane or gas.
For the enlightenment of our rooms, we chose electric light bulbs while the solar panels are coming soon, which will be installed on the roof of our parking.
Among our regular guests never fail the swallows, that here find a great place to nest: the swallows in fact need two connections to build their nest and the wooden beams that we put at their disposal have huge success. This is why every year the swallows build their nests here and their presence aswell as brighten the atmosphere of Villa Campestri with the chirping, naturally solves the problem of the presence of mosquitoes.
Finally L'Olivaia, our restaurant at km 0 allows us to save on emissions to go to buy the products used on our table, as well as enhance our organic products and those of local producers that rely on quality and authenticity.
If you love nature Villa Campestri Olive Oil Resort awaits you!

10th July: Word-of-Art hosts The Bin's exhibition in the downstairs art space, with wicked wicki-wickis from DJ Kennedy and DJ Poltergeist.
