From Catholic Charities of Northern Nevada:
This year will mark the 59th consecutive year that John Ascuaga's Nugget will provide holiday meals for Thanksgiving and Christmas Day in our St. Vincent's Dining Room. Both holidays bring in between 1,000 and 1,500 people each year, and the Nugget staff both funds and prepares the food. News of the casino's sale brought up concerns of this tradition being discontinued, but leadership with John Ascuaga's Nugget has reassured St. Vincent's that the meals will continue.
"We will continue to provide these meals. The Ascuagas will be here at least through the first of the year, and we intend to continue this tradition," says Lauren Garber, spokesperson for John Ascuaga's Nugget.
Peter Vogel, Executive Director of Catholic Charities & the St. Vincent's Programs, says he's relieved and grateful that the tradition will go on. "Those two holidays are very special days for our Dining Room clients. We are forever grateful to John Ascuaga's Nugget, not only for the compassion they've shown to the hungry people of Northern Nevada, but for all of the wonderful community outreach they provide to other causes. The Ascuagas truly know what it means to be good stewards of the community we live in," says Vogel.

Instead, there were platters of prosciutto and cheese and chilled bottles of rosé and white wine that Pipino and makeup artist Alexa Rodulfo had set up for a group of girls attending that evening's Whitney Art Party. Pipino held court in the dove grey painted front room with a gaggle of stylists, while Rodulfo set up shop with three assistants in the back among upholstered furniture.
"I had a double espresso at 4, but I could use another one now," said Pipino, as he wielded a can of hairspray. "I think we're doing 11 girls tonight--but keep bringing them on."
Below: Ric Pipino and Alexa Rodulfo at work. PHOTOS BY KEVIN HATT.
Bernard and Mortimer chatted about possible European summer vacation plans, as Rodulfo worked on Bernard's eyes.
"You can't talk for the next minute," Rodulfo ordered Bernard, as she painstakingly finished her makeup.
"Okay, I'll do all the talking," said Mortimer.
Despite the veritable assembly-line efficiency of the setting (the manicurist Kristina Konarski even sent her unnecessary assistant home) and bubbly demeanors, things got increasingly chaotic as the clock ticked closer to the Whitney's 9 p.m. start time.
"I'm very easy--I just want the wet look," Fabiola Beracasa assured Pipino.
"Can I get you something?" one of Pipino's assistants asked a slightly frazzled Jones.
"Yeah my BlackBerry!" she said, eventually locating it in the back.
It was a bit of culture shock for Rodulfo, who had just returned from Paris two days earlier.
"I haven't changed my Facebook status yet," she laughed. "The girls all wanted to come late...I keep doing them and it doesn't seem to make a dent."

SPECIAL OFFER: - Limited Time Only!
(The ad below will not display on your printed page)
Americans are excessive. After all, we're the folks who brought you the Big Gulp, Kim Kardashian, and fried butter. Yes, we love to live large -- and can show the rest of the world how it's done -- but our fun-loving tendencies can get a little out of hand during the holidays. All we do to eat, drink, and make merry (including maxing out our credit cards and our waistlines) would likely hospitalize the residents of any other country. So this year let's draw a line in the artificial snow and pledge to take it down a notch.Seasonal Stressor
Greeting Card Envy
No sooner has the Thanksgiving turkey been carved up for leftovers than they start arriving: the holiday cards and their bloated cousins, the annual family newsletters. You pretend to be charmed and display the cards and letters on your mantel, but your anxiety builds with each posed photo of a family on vacation, each ornate manger scene and, most of all, each chirpy update. You've been working on your own letter for weeks now. "Johnny, our 17-year-old, recently had a cameo on Cops," your latest draft says brightly. But then the mailman delivers today's haul and out falls a holiday missive from your high school best friend. She appears to have lost 30 pounds while summering at a writers' colony, where she crafted charming anecdotes about her captain of industry husband, her Olympic ski champion son, and her summa cum laude Ivy League daughter. "Yapples, our pug, took honors this year among smash-nose breeds at Westminster," she notes excitedly.
The Antidote: Dig out your high school yearbook and peer at the photo of your friend when she was fat and wore Larry King glasses. Then forget about holiday cards until January 2, when you'll send off a batch of whimsical little notes that say, "Let us be the last to wish you a Happy New Year."
When did the job of buying every single holiday present become a mother's duty? Some anthropologists trace the custom back to the Neanderthals, though skeptics point out that they were notoriously cheap, often getting by with regifted mammoth bones. All we know for certain is that sometime during the intervening millennia men began claiming they were color-blind and couldn't pick out sweaters. Or even Favorite Teacher mugs ("they all look alike").
That leaves the modern woman with dozens of people to shop for. Everyone needs a gift, and at some point your children migrated from sending a letter to the North Pole to creating spreadsheets for Santa. Can we all agree that gift-giving is out of control?
Luckily, the advent of online shopping has eased your burden, as have all-night pharmacies. (What guy on your list won't appreciate a beautifully wrapped Mangroomer Essential Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer?) And you made a dent in your list on Black Friday by spending four hours at the mall. You'd have stayed longer had the National Guard not been called in to break up a fracas in the toy department, where 279 mothers were fighting over 278 Dirty-Nuke Suitcase Action Paks.
As you unload your booty, you congratulate yourself on not having gotten arrested. Besides, as a savvy online shopper you're confident you can pick up the dirty-nuke suitcase for a song on eBay. Just as you wheel in your last pallet of packages, your neighbor comes by with a plate of holiday cookies. You recognize this for the ruse it is seconds before she smugly drops her bombshell: "I'm pretty sure I got the last Dirty-Nuke Suitcase Action Pak in the tristate area. Now I'm thinking of selling it on eBay for $1,000."
The Antidote: Offer her $500.
PopPop and MeeMaw arrive on the worst travel day of the year, when you'd rather take a bullet than drive to the airport. Your in-laws have flown long distances on the worst travel day of the year, when they expect massive amounts of sympathy for doing so. A self-pity standoff ensues.
By the time you reach baggage claim you're near meltdown since you just spent two hours on a drive that normally takes 30 minutes. You ignore PopPop's agitation on learning you're parked in the high-price short-term garage and MeeMaw's on learning she has to trek to "Siberia" instead of being picked up at the curb by the person she refers to as "my son." (Little does she know that her son is at his annual Christmas poker marathon, having left strict instructions not to be disturbed.) You load their four "vintage" suitcases into your Prius. "What's in there, MeeMaw?" you ask sweetly, knowing full well the bags are stuffed with toys your kids don't need, food you won't eat, and the "cutest holiday sweaters" no one will ever wear.
"That reminds me," she says as you pull onto the highway. "I still need stocking stuffers. Any chance we could swing by the mall on the way home?"
The Antidote: Point out that her son will be crushed if he can't see his parents right away. "He asked me to drop you off at his card game," you confide, "so you can meet all his friends."
When you hosted last year's feast you swore you'd cap this year's guest list at 15. The head count is currently 31. You've honed the menu to accommodate the dietary needs of your finicky sister-in-law, who claims allergies to a variety of foods including but not limited to mushrooms ("any fungus, really, tree nuts and anything with eyes, even potatoes"). And you've stockpiled extra boxes of egg noodles to feed all four of your brother's children, none of whom has been known to ingest any foodstuff that isn't soft and white. Then your cousin informs you that she has just become a lacto-ovo vegetarian who no longer eats sugar and also eschews honey "for political reasons."
The Antidote: Tell everyone to bring a favorite dish ("a potluck is so much fun") and don't cook a blessed thing. There'll be plenty of food to go around; on the off chance there isn't, so much the better: You'll avoid the usual five-pound holiday weight gain.
New Year's Eve is always a letdown since people are basically getting together to watch the clock tick. After all, this is a night whose high point is turning on the TV and marveling that Dick Clark is still around. No one wants to stay up for all that, especially if you're not in the Eastern Time zone, because when midnight strikes in New York it's game over for the whole country.
This year you've planned a quiet gathering attended by a few of your nearest and dearest. The drinking will consist of white wine and a bottle or two of faux champagne. "Bring the kids," you tell friends, figuring that'll put a damper on things. "We'll play Twister!"
But something goes horribly awry. Everyone says yes. Your neighbors and their neighbors, your husband's poker buddies and their neighbors -- even your in-laws, whose flight got cancelled due to snow. And then your brother shows up with his "shot ski" -- an actual ski to which a row of shot glasses has been Super-Glued. Six guests have to down their tequila in one gulp at the same time or all get doused.
"Let's play Texas hold 'em all night long!" MeeMaw shrieks after her second shot, and you catch PopPop ordering in 10 dozen wings "Buffalo burnin' hot, to liven up this dump...."
The Antidote: You are suddenly so tired, so very very tired. But muster the energy to refill everyone's glass, toast 2012, and make a single New Year's resolution: to spend next year's holiday season in Hawaii.

Following the 2010-2011 Canterbury earthquakes, the Council embarked on a major programme to look at the future of the 1600 residential and non-residential buildings it owns. The Facilities Rebuild Plan provides a framework for decision making about the work that will be carried out on all the buildings in the programme.
The Facilities Rebuild programme ranges from larger facilities such as libraries and recreation and sport centres to smaller community facilities such as toilet blocks on local parks.
The facilities include:
• Sport and recreation facilities• Libraries• Community housing facilities• Offices for Council staff and other development property holdings in the Central City• Facilities on sports grounds• Facilities on neighbourhood/ regional parks• Parking buildings and other transport facilities• Community centres and halls• Early Childcare Learning Centres• Heritage facilities
Since 2011, the Council has been undertaking the first phase of the programme, which will see it complete Detailed Engineering Evaluations (DEE) of all its buildings. (For more information about DEE assessments, visit the FAQs page).
The Council has approved repairs to a number of buildings while its DEE assessment programme has been progressing. (For more information visit the FAQs page). It has prioritised 30 facilities for further investigations, funding, and where possible, repairs. For more information visit the media release or the 30 top priorities page.
Decisions are still to be made about a large number of the facilities in the programme and we therefore do not have specific dates for when work may begin on every building. (For more information, visit the FAQs page).
The Council will consider a number of other factors before a decision is made about each building including:
• the level of damage• the level of insurance cover• the building's heritage value• how often it is used• its long term benefits for the community.
There are already a number of existing strategies in place that have been developed after public consultation and that are informing this process. The strategies include:
Other key Council strategies that are also aligned to this project include:
The future of some of the Council's major facilities – Christchurch Town Hall, the Convention Centre, Christchurch Art Gallery, the former AMI Stadium, Central City Multi-Sport facility and QEII Recreation and Sport Centre, Centennial Recreation and Sport Centre, Central Library, Lichfield Street carpark, Manchester Street carpark and Sockburn Service Centre – were outlined in the Council Annual Plan 2012/13.
The future work that will be done on these facilities is the responsibility of the Council's Major Facilities Rebuild Unit, and therefore falls outside the scope of the Facilities Rebuild Plan project. Find out more about the Major projects as they get underway.

A new six-storey building planned for the waterfront – if the public agrees
Wellingtonians have till the end of February to tell the city council what they think about a plan for a new six-storey building in the north Kumutoto area of the waterfront.
Mayor Celia Wade-Brown says the waterfront is fundamental to Wellington's sense of place and it's important that the public has a say.
"At this northern end of the waterfront we have an exciting opportunity to complete the waterfront promenade, create more attractive public spaces, and integrate this location into the life of the central city.
"The Council wants to hear what people think about the design of the proposed building, its height, and the adjacent public areas."
Ian Pike, Chief Executive of Wellington Waterfront Ltd, says the Willis Bond & Co designs would revitalise the area, currently used for camper van parking alongside Waterloo Quay, between Waterloo Quay Apartments and the Whitmore Street entrance to the waterfront.
"The proposed six-storey building, designed by Athfield Architects, provides a good mix of commercial, retail and public areas, with five levels of office space, as well as a 'green roof'," says Mr Pike.
On the ground floor there would be space for cafés, restaurants and shops, with a landscaped, sheltered public area outside, and covered pedestrian walkways around the building and through the ground floor.
On the Waterloo Quay side, a sheltered public walkway from the Whitmore Street gates to opposite the Railway Station would help to complete the waterfront promenade.
The overall height of the building, while slightly higher than that suggested by the Environment Court, is regarded by the council and its advisors as generally being in scale with its neighbours. However the top floor of the new building would be stepped back on all sides so it would only be visible from a distance.
The commercial development will pay for the improvements to public space in the area and provide a return to the Council through rates and a long-term lease.
After the consultation, councillors will consider the proposed designs in early April.
More about the building from Maximus
Willis Bond pushing the limits, again

Nora, 21. January 2014, 13:52
The plan hides the overall height of the building. Having admitted it is higher than suggested by the Environment Court, perhaps WWLtd dont want the Judge and Commissioners to see this new design.
Guy, 21. January 2014, 16:21
Nora – rubbish. Nothing to do with WWL trying to hide the design or height from the "Judge and Commissioners." There is a floor on the top of the building, where it pretty much can't be seen by the public walking past it at ground level. The only people it would disadvantage are the folks in the NZPost House on that floor who will see it. A set-back top storey on a building is not that unusual, and certainly not trying to hide it from anyone official.
CC, 22. January 2014, 6:53
Guy, as you say, the set back top storey is not unusual and pretty much can't be seen by the public walking past at ground level. The building across the road from the campervan park is evidence of this!
Nora, the Environment Court only made height suggestions, so tough luck, anyone who had expectations should forget them. No doubt the 'to be landscaped' Kumutoto site will receive similar recognition and a building will sprout from the site in the not so distant future – probably when Willis Bond finish a much taller building than the one that is presently 'proposed' for Site 10. The landscaping was also only a suggestion.
Pollyanna, 22. January 2014, 8:55
Wellington has one of the most beautiful harbours in the world and visitors from cruise ships walking down Waterloo Quay to Kumutoto should be able to see not only the fishing boats, police boats, and the Eastbourne Ferry Terminal but also Mt Victoria and the Monastery – not just a glimpse of them through a "view shaft" of a six storey office block.
Peter, 22. January 2014, 16:38
Could someone from the Council or WWL explain the nature and purpose of the 'green roof' and advise who will have access to it? It would also be helpful to know why there is a need for an extra storey in addition to the number recommended by the Environment Court.
Hel, 22. January 2014, 18:16
Artist's impressions look great, this area of the waterfront is a mess and if the actual design lives up to the impressions could be a great addition.
CC, 23. January 2014, 5:34
Yes Hel – the artists impressions are just like the WWL's dive platform. All show and highly toxic.
Maximus, 24. January 2014, 12:04
There is some more discussion on the proposal over at Eyeofthefish.org
Nora, 25. January 2014, 12:55
I agree with CC, the artist's drawings are also like the colourful pictures of the Basin Reserve Flyover.
And Hel: this area does not have to look a mess. There were some great ideas when there was consultation on the brief two years. I quote from one of the Environment Court's points "There is a clear understanding that this area provides the main open space for the central city and is primarily a place for people."
I agree with Pollyanna: Wellingtonians, visitors and cruise ship passengers arriving from the north do not want to be confronted by a 6 storey building blocking harbour views across to Mt Victoria.
Nora, 26. January 2014, 10:37
Maximus, you have asked a good question on eyeofthefish – where is the car park entrance, exit etc? Probably somewhere in the plans as a further attraction, but like the original plan for the Meridian underground park will never eventuate as the cost will be prohibitive.

The Cleveland Browns haven't been as aggressive as many expected them to be in free agency but that's not stopping them from attaching their names to a number of players. After swinging and missing on a chance to sign Cliff Avril, the Browns have moved to the other side of the ball and are looking at bringing in a quarterback to spice up a much needed competition at the position.
According to the Cleveland Plain Dealer the Browns are showing an interest in 31-year old free agent quarterback Jason Campbell.
#Browns have expressed some interest in #Bears QB Jason Campbell, per lg source. Seems to be possibility but not a strong one at this point.
— Mary Kay Cabot (@MaryKayCabot) March 14, 2013
Campbell is a classic example of a guy with talent that could never find the right footing in the NFL. He started in Washington, Oakland and Chicago but did so sporadically, with his job in Washington being the most consistent of his career. The Browns need some depth and talent at quarterback as currently Brandon Weeden is virtually unchallenged for the job. Backup Colt McCoy could end up vying for the job but the job in Cleveland can't be a two dog race and it needs a third party as an x-factor.
The Bears are still interested in bringing Campbell back and he's also drawn interest from the New York Jets but at this point, it's anyone's guess as to where Campbell will sign. Cleveland is a hot spot though, as Campbell is still at a point in his career where he can start and he'll likely choose a destination where a starting gig is a real possibility.

You sir, are ******* awesome. it's only on here that I find people with similar interests as me, but sadly I don't know much about the lambda itself, all I know is that it's used in math, and I think it's from the Greek (I don't really know for sure).

Since its inception, SCP has operated under the premise of 'connecting the dots' between private business and not-for-profit organizations, with an objective to help people secure good jobs and create career pathways. Although our strategies to accomplish this have evolved over the years – see Our Evolution – our vision has always had a broader objective: to serve as a catalyst in promoting the spread of innovative practices that address key barriers related to supporting the growth of businesses that balance their financial and social objectives. This objective led to the development of an operating approach that we call our Catalyst Strategy.
Our Catalyst Strategy acknowledges that although our core activities should be focused on program related work, we also consciously try to dedicate 20% of our time to some alternative ideas that address these structural barriers. While these areas may fall outside of our day-to-day programs, they are an integral component if we are to influence the broader social ecosystem and greater collaboration among the business, nonprofit and government sectors. Our two key Catalyst areas have been our work on Social Capital Markets and the evolution of our Corporate Community Hiring Pilot project.
Social Capital Markets
The first catalyst area we focused on was how to create a more dynamic social capital marketplace in Canada – a market for investors to inject capital into organizations that seek to generate both financial and social returns. Our belief is that there is a under-development of financial instruments for this purpose – for instance, non-profits primarily view one financing tool (grants), while they are only "allowed" to present a limited value proposition for "investors".
In 2003, we undertook a study to explore innovative approaches to funding social initiatives in Canada. With the help of RBC Capital Markets, we studied the parallels between private sector capital markets and the market for social investments. 7 years later, the Canadian Task Force on Social Finance (TFSF) was assembled by Social Innovation Generation, a national project partnered with the MaRS Discovery District in Toronto, including SCP founder and president, Bill Young. In the fall of 2010, the TFSF released a report highlighting 7 recommended actions for the Canadian federal and provincial governments, institutional investors and philanthropists, to ignite the development of an investment marketplace dedicated to addressing Canada's social and environmental challenges. It is our hope that the launch of this report serves as a further catalyst to the development of a robust social capital market in Canada.
Corporate Community Hiring:
Based on our learning from the success of our Active Green + Ross partnership and our Community Hiring Franchise Program, we began asking ourselves - how can we transform the way Canadian companies think about and organize their HR functions? In particular, how can we create more effective channels for connecting large employers with community agencies that are serving people that have overcome barriers to employment?
We knew we needed to sufficiently study this opportunity in order to know how to address it. For this, we turned to our partner, the Monitor Group. In fall 2008, Monitor tasked a consulting team with helping us understand and frame the scope of this opportunity. This led SCP to begin to look at the feasibility of testing some of the Monitor research findings. As a result, in spring 2010, we launched our Corporate Community Hiring pilot, in which we are testing the feasibility of integrating community hiring practices with 3 of Canada's largest employers.

I can't remember the last time I was so bitterly disappointed following a UCLA football game. And that's saying something given the number of disappointments we've faced over the past decade or so. Honestly, I might have to go back to 1998 Miami (damnit, Melsby's knee was down!) to get to the general neighborhood of how I'm feeling tonight after Oregon still some five hours after the final whistle. I think what's really killing me about this game is that in my opinion, we lost before our guys even stepped out on the Autzen turf. In my mind, this game was inexcusably lost nearly a week ago when the coaching staff made their final decisions about the offensive game plan that was installed last week.
Frankly, we expect our coaching staff to have a higher standard for our team than the Talking Heads on tWWL who said we had no chance to beat Oregon. They shouldn't care that Vegas had us as a multiple touchdown underdog. (Aside: We should NEVER be OK with being a multiple TD underdog in our own conference. No disrespect to Oregon - they've built a great program. Sure, they've got that Nike money but there's having money and there's knowing how to use it. It must be nice to have a competent athletic administration but now I'm seriously digressing. Bottom line, though, is that if they can do it, we can do it.) They should have full faith that our kids can go anywhere and beat anyone at anytime because if they don't believe it, then how can the kids? Based on what we saw today, Mazonne and company clearly never believed we could beat Oregon and that is completely unacceptable. We expect more.
I don't really care what offensive system we run. I don't care if it's the N-zone, the pistol (I know, it's a formation, not a system), the west coast offense, or whatever-the-hell Norm Chow ran when he was here. What I do care about is offensive philosophy. Football is a game of aggression and the better the opponent, the more aggressive you need to be. I expect offensive game plans that attack the front seven, attack the secondary, and attack the endzone. Mazonne, inexplicably, did the opposite. Against a better opponent, he got less aggressive.
We saw swing passes. We saw read-option. We saw pre-snap motion that really never led to anything. We saw a predictable pattern of passive plays (alliteration at 1 AM - that's a first for me) that had some success early but were easily countered as the game went on. We saw no attempt to attack the middle of the field with the intermediate passing game. We saw no screens (and I don't mean swing passes or bubble screens - I mean traditional let-the-rush-through-and-release-the-linemen screens). We saw no attempt to get Hundley out of the pocket on bootlegs or roll-outs (I mean, why WOULD you want to take advantage of the most mobile QB UCLA has had in forever, particularly with a young offensive line). We saw no attempt to stretch the defense vertically. We saw no trick plays. We saw no adjustments at halftime. We saw complete coaching capitulation (ok, I'll stop!). Damnit, we expect more.
I've never been a football coach so I don't entirely understand the relationship between the HC and the OC. Mazonne is going to have to wear this loss for awhile because this was his game plan and his play-calling - frankly, I think he should lose his job.. But at some point during the week leading up to the game, I'm assuming Mora has a chance to give some input. Certainly during the game, I assume that Mora's headset isn't just for show. I assume if he's not happy with the play-calling, he can say something. My point is, Mora should have had multiple opportunities to direct Mazonne to dial up the aggressiveness and it clearly never happened. This is made doubly frustrating by the fact the defensive aggressiveness was right on point (we regularly attacked the backfield and put some hard hits on Oregon's skill players). So Mora has to wear this loss too and damnit, we expect more.
For some reason, I've been thinking back to the '95 u$c game. If memory serves, that was Cade's first 'SC game and his freshman year was pretty rocky. I don't remember the line or anything like that but I'm certain that 'SC was favored to win. And again, if memory serves, we won the game on the strength of a pass off of a reverse for an early touchdown (Kevin Jordan maybe with the catch?) and a naked bootleg by Cade to ice it in the 4th. I know it's not the perfect comparison for many reasons, but the philosophy going into that game by our coaching staff (I think that was Donahue's last year) was surprisingly sound.
Mora, I like the energy and attitude you bring to the program. I just want your philosophy on the field to match the philosophy your project off of it. This was a winnable game. It was a program-defining, winnable game. Your record in these types of games is not stellar and you're running out of time to fix it.
We will always loyally support the Bruins, but Jim, we expect more.

Here we are in the 8th and final installment of "The Nostradamus Effect" and we find ourselves in t AFC South. Home of the Indianapolis Colts, Jacksonville Jaguars, Tennessee Titans and Houston Texans; this division was previously dominated for the better part of the last decade by the Colts. But things have clearly been shaken up, let's dig deeper. Hit the jump for the breakdown.
We start with the former landlord of the AFC South with the Indianapolis Colts, and the drastic changes that are occurring in Indy. This team and its fans were riding high on life for the better part of a decade and man did this puppy come crashing down with all its might. The Colts clearly felt the Manning injury bad, but was one player really the catalyst for a total meltdown? Or did the Colts do what the Bucs did and just give up after the season seemed all but lost? Well it's hard to say with certainty but one thing is for sure, their lack of depth was clearly exposed. So after what was a rough season, to say the least, the Colts cleaned house with incredible fury, Coaches, Staff, GM, VP of football, Players all got the axe and in exodus fashion. This team cut/lost nearly half of its roster, probably with good reason. This team is clearly in a complete rebuild mode, the good thing is they have their new franchise QB Andrew Luck but is he the answer? With a little Luck he is lol. This team is far from being competitive, they had a good off season but simply need way too much to compete now. This team will do poorly again this year. Luck will do fine considering, lucky for him the Colts also nabbed his favorite target in TE Colby Fleener.
My prediction this team goes 4-12, no major changes other than continuing to add players via draft and FA, the only note here is that fans are going to get off the "wagon" for a couple of years. Maybe they will become Bucs fans?
We now move on to Tennessee Titans and take a look at where they will be after this season. Well the Titans have been consistent and average for a long time, yes they have had some good years but when have you really been impressed with them? Is the pressure of losing to Manning so much for the division the reason Fisher left? Or is ownership in TEN just that bad? One things is for sure, this team lost more quality players in FA than they picked up and the draft did little to replace those areas of strength i.e. CB Cortland Finnegan. Their draft was ok, they got some needed upgrades but they certainly didn't wow their either, in fact everything about this team screams mediocre. But can they change that?
My prediction is they can't change that this season; they will post a losing record with 5-11. No major changes here.
Now we move south to Jacksonville Jaguars with a lot of changes from ownership down this offseason. This team is also rebuilding, really who in this division besides Houston isn't? So let's see this team has an offense that is severely lacking with the exception of RB Maurice Jones-Drew, so bad that it is probably the most suspect offense in the league, now their defense though is a strong point to build off of. This team had a questionable draft at least a couple of picks had pros and fans scratching their heads, namely P Brian Angerer and OLB Brandon Marshall. Was there any logic to this? I believe there is somewhere and I happened to find it in an old coach of mine. He said and I quote "when your offense sucks make sure you have a great punter at least, since field position makes up for lack of ability" and I thought well hell that makes perfect sense. The Jags did out and get some much needed WR help in Laurent Robinson, Lee Evans and drafting Justin Blackmon but is that enough?
My prediction this team gets a little better but only by picking up steam towards the end of the year, they finish 7-9. One major change is that QB Chad Henne (picked up in FA) takes the starting position while QB Blaine Gabbert learns the new offense and how to play as a competitive QB in the NFL.
We now move way out west to visit with the Houston Texans and see if they can do some of what they put together last year. This team has arguably one of the best defenses even without Mario Williams and their rush attack is insane also not to mention they have a good WR in Andre johnson and their QB Matt Schaub is playing his best football to date until his injury. This team is fairly young, with a nice mix of vets. They had an ok draft getting upgrades to some much needed positions particularly in the O-line. They added some questionable picks in WR Devier Posey, I think even Posey and his agent were shocked he was drafted especially that high. Also who decided on WR Keshawn Martin???? Well maybe the FO sees something no one does.
My prediction is this team is already stacked, some upgrades were taken care of and some were questionable at best but they have a solid team already and did not need much to compete. This division is theirs for the taking. They finish 13-3. This team will go deep in the playoffs and could be a contender for a SB run.
Well that's it for now, later I will compile the votes and compare them to my picks and then we can all revisit this topic after the season ends and see who wins lol. Also for those of you keeping score at home you are probably wondering why there are more overall loses than wins, well the short answer is I'm no mathmagician lol. The real answer is that there is always a plus minus and since my predictions are not per game based models it is going off of last year's stats, projected roster, upgrades and outside factors. So in short it's not an exact science and for those of you that want to know the plus minus on overall its 10.
Here's you poll, that's all for now.

Application Deadline
How to Apply
Information for Recommenders
Information for Supervisors and Mentors
Criteria for Review and Selection
Program Overview
The UConn Summer Undergraduate Research Fund (SURF) supports University of Connecticut full-time undergraduate students in summer research or creative projects.
SURF awards are available to students in all majors at all UConn campuses. SURF project proposals are reviewed by a faculty committee representing various Schools and Colleges, and SURF award recipients are chosen through a competitive process.
The maximum total amount awarded for SURF awards is $4,000 ($3,500 stipend for the student researcher and up to $500 for consumables associated with the research project).
SURF Project Examples
Past SURF recipients have studied transcatheter aortic valves, the concept of nation in selected literature, artists' books, and runners' post-race thermoregulatory responses. Get inspired: read about the 2013 and 2012 SURF awardees' projects.
To be eligible to apply for a SURF Award for summer 2014, students must:
- Plan to graduate no earlier than December 2014.
- Be supervised by a UConn faculty member. (You don't have to work on campus, but someone at UConn must be actively engaged in the supervision of your work.)
- Agree to present SURF-funded project findings at Frontiers in Undergraduate Research in October 2014 or April 2015.
- Have not received a SURF award in a previous year. (Only one SURF award may be used by an undergraduate during their UConn undergraduate years.)
Application Deadline
Applications for SURF 2014 are now closed.
Students selected for SURF must submit a summary report of research activities to the OUR (online) by August 30, 2014.
How to Apply
Your application will be submitted online and you will have the opportunity to upload a PDF document that presents your project in detail as well as a timeline and budget. Get started by reviewing our detailed information on preparing a successful application, which includes all of the information that will be collected in the online application and what you should include in your PDF proposal document, timeline, and budget.
Plan to spend time working through your proposal, budget, and timeline on your own and in conversation with your faculty advisor and other mentors. Starting early and planning ahead will make the process a lot less stressful!
The Summer 2015 Application will be available this coming Fall.
If you have questions about the SURF award program or the application process, contact contact the Office of Undergraduate Research at (860) 486-7939, firstname.lastname@example.com, or schedule an appointment with an OUR Advisor via AdvApp.uconn.edu under "Enrichment Programs."
Information for Recommenders
The UConn Summer Undergraduate Research Fund (SURF) supports University of Connecticut full-time undergraduate students who are engaged in summer research or creative projects under the supervision of a University of Connecticut faculty member.
The strongest SURF applications are those that are written by the student with the guidance and support of the faculty advisor. While the writing of the proposal should be done by the student, the faculty advisor may offer comments and feedback on the research project proposal and references. The faculty advisor should also review the applicant's budget and timeline for feasibility and accuracy.
Students must include two letters of recommendation from faculty members. It is the student's responsibility to contact these individuals, discuss the final SURF proposal, and secure their willingness to complete and submit the letters of recommendation by the deadline. In 2014, recommendations will be collected electronically. The Information Sheet for Faculty Recommenders lists the topics each recommender should address and outlines the procedure for submitting letters.
Faculty advisors, please address the following items in your letters of recommendation for SURF applicants:
- Your knowledge of and familiarity with the research or creative project;
- Your role in the research or creative project – Is this a project that the student has created on his/her own and you will be advising? Or is this project a component of a larger project that is part of your ongoing research/creative activity?
- Your evaluation of the student's academic and personal traits which would contribute to a successful SURF experience;
- Your ability and availability to supervise the student and your commitment to advise the student throughout the project. If you and the student will be working in different locations over the summer, please outline a plan for communication with the student and for supervision from a distance;
- Your assessment of the student's chances for success and why the student's project proposal would be important to the field and to the student's development as a scholar.
Faculty members writing the second letter of recommendation for students should address the following items in their letters of recommendation for SURF applicants:
- The student's academic qualifications for this award;
- The quality of the student's proposal and the contributions the student's research or creative project might make to the field;
- The student's personal characteristics that would contribute to a successful SURF experience;
- Your estimation of how this award would be important to the student's development as a scholar.
Note: Normally, the first letter of recommendation will come from a UConn faculty member who is supervising the SURF project. Occasionally, SURF proposals will be approved for research to be done at another institution under the supervision of someone who is not a UConn faculty member. These occasional exceptions to the normal rule will only be approved if (1) the faculty member elsewhere has a close research relationship with UConn (e.g., a shared grant or a cross-institutional affiliation and (2) the project will have a secondary supervisor who is a UConn faculty member and that individual provides the second letter of recommendation.
Letters of recommendation should be received no later than 4 p.m. on Monday, February 3rd, 2014.
Completed letters of recommendation should be submitted electronically to the Office of Undergraduate Research at email@example.com with the subject line: SURF Recommendation – Applicant's name.
Any questions or concerns about recommendations should be emailed to firstname.lastname@example.com. You may also contact OUR by calling 860-486-7939 – we are happy to answer any questions you might have!
Information for Supervisors and Mentors
Effective supervision is a key factor in a successful SURF experience. Students benefit from the guidance of their mentors when they learn new techniques, encounter and seek to overcome roadblocks, work to interpret their findings, and map out next steps. We recommend that SURF recipients and their faculty supervisors discuss when and how they will communicate (e.g., in person, via Skype, via telephone, via email updates) over the course of the student's work on the project. These advance arrangements are particularly important when the student and mentor will be working in different locations.
Criteria for Review and Selection
All SURF applications are reviewed by a committee of faculty members representing various Schools and Colleges at UConn. Primary and secondary reviewers with expertise in the subject area of the student's proposal are assigned to each SURF application.
Reviews and recommendations to fund SURF project proposals are made by the SURF faculty review committee. All projects are reviewed based on the following criteria:
Quality of the proposal:
- The proposal is well written, well defined, and convincing.
- The proposal is thorough and complete. All parts are clearly explained.
- The proposal is manageable and appropriate for the time frame; if the research is part of a larger project that will extend beyond the summer, this is noted in the proposal and the goals for the summer are delineated in the timeline.
- The proposal is grounded in the research of the field.
- The student has secured or is securing IRB/IACUC approval if necessary for the research.
- The budget is clear and uses funding appropriately according to SURF funding guidelines.
Qualifications of the applicant:
- The qualifications, preparation, and experience of the student are adequate for carrying out the project.
- The research experience, as described, will contribute significantly to the student's education.
- The academic record of the student indicates the potential for success.
Support from faculty letters of recommendation:
- Strength of letters of support by faculty recommenders (do they strongly support the project, as well as indicate support for the quality of the student?).
- Assessment of the student's ability to undertake the project in the time period allowed.
- Assessment of the significance of the project and its potential educational value for the student.
- Evidence that relationships exist between the student's project and the faculty mentor's own research or areas of expertise.
- Evidence that the student will be supervised during the project period by the faculty mentor.
I have already received another award from OUR. Can I still apply for SURF?
If you have previously accepted a SURF award, you cannot apply for a second SURF award. If you were offered a SURF award and declined it, you may reapply for a SURF award. Receipt of OUR awards other than SURF does not affect your eligibility for SURF.
Does receiving a SURF award affect my eligibility for other OUR awards?
OUR policy restricts students to a maximum of $1,000 in supply awards over a single year (with the year beginning in the summer and ending with the spring semester). This means that if you receive a SURF award for summer 2014 that includes $500 in support for research expenses, you may only receive an additional $500 in supply support during academic year 2014-15, whether through the Life Sciences Honors Thesis Award or an OUR Supply Award. Beyond that restriction on supply funding, receiving a SURF award does not otherwise affect your eligibility for other OUR awards.
I'm completing my degree requirements over the summer. Can I get a SURF award?
No. SURF award recipients must plan to graduate no earlier than December 2014 and students graduating in December 2014 will be expected to present their projects at Fall Frontiers in October 2014.
I know I want to do part of my research abroad, but haven't decided what country I want to travel to; do I need to know this before I apply?
Yes, you do. Those students proposing international travel as part of their SURF applications will need to answer additional questions about how they determined that the country (or countries) to which they intend to travel is appropriate for the project, their plans for navigating language barriers (if applicable), and intended travel and living arrangements while in country. Please see our section on International Travel for further information.
My project supervisor is based at the UConn Health Center. Does s/he qualify as a faculty supervisor?
Yes, UCHC faculty can supervise SURF projects.
I know that another student working with my advisor is also applying for a SURF Award. Does this hurt my chances? Can a single faculty member advise more than one SURF awardee?
The review committee's evaluation of your SURF application focuses on the quality of the proposal, the strength of your qualifications, and your recommenders' support of both you and the project. Your chances of receiving a SURF award are not affected by the number of other applicants working under the same faculty advisor. Faculty advisors may supervise more than one SURF awardee.
My recommender is unable to submit his or her letter by the application deadline – does this hurt my chances of getting a SURF Award?
Applicants are encouraged to speak with recommenders early in the process, allowing them ample time to write and submit letters of recommendation. We understand that extenuating circumstances and busy schedules can make it difficult for recommenders to submit letters by the deadline. Applicants need to make every effort to ensure letters are submitted and their application is complete by the deadline. To ensure fairness to all applicants, complete applications will receive priority consideration for funding.
Can I start my project in the spring semester and continue it into the fall semester?
Yes, your SURF project can be part of longer-term involvement in research or creative activity. In preparing your SURF application, it is important that you articulate the goals and outcomes specific to the summer portion of the larger project and build your timeline and budget to reflect the milestones and costs of your summer work.
Can I use all or part of the $500 in research expense funding to compensate participants?
Yes, participant compensation is an allowable use of research expense funding. You will need to submit a copy of the approved IRB protocol that delineates the plan for compensating participants. The amount you request must be consistent with that compensation plan and the number of participants you have indicated you expect during the period of the SURF project. It is important that you keep records and receipts, per IRB guidelines, in order to document these payments.
I have questions about SURF; is there someone I can speak with?
If you have questions about SURF or the application process, contact the Office of Undergraduate Research at firstname.lastname@example.com or schedule an appointment via AdvApp.uconn.edu under "Enrichment Programs."
I was not selected to receive a SURF Award. Can you tell me why?
OUR staff are available to meet with applicants to provide feedback about the strengths and weaknesses the review committee identified in their proposals. We will not provide rubrics, scores, or name the reviewers of particular proposals.

It's great things like this Apple...
I had a Mid 2009 15 in Macbook Pro, I loved it to death. However way too many kernel panics and logic board replacements have plagued my device history.
So what did they do today when I went in for another repair? They gave me a brand new core i5 one.
Edit: They gave me a quadcore core i7 monster.
They've got themselves an evangelist for their Macs most definitely. Still an Android guy, but that may change soon.

There are quite a few fire trucks in the Minot area. But today, there may have been one that caught your eye.
As Bismarck firefighter and emergency medical technician Brandon
Hassgets ready to start his day, he's not responding to a
fire; he's been called to help others fight a different type of battle.
One that's all too familiar.
is special to me because I lost my step-mom and my grandma to cancer. One
had blood cancer. And, the other had eye cancer. I lost both of
them within two years."
the past three years, Hass has been involved with North Dakota's Pink Heals Chapter, a
national effort to raise awareness for breast cancer. And the pink fire
truck made a stop at the Cancer Care Center
in Minot.
There are
thousands, probably millions of signatures on the Pink Heals fire truck. It's a way of honoring those who
have lost the fight to cancer and those who are still fighting.
"It's just more of recognition in memory of and to raise awareness
for cancer," says Hass.
I walked around the truck, and I saw the many signatures, and I saw the messages,
it was amazing because behind every signature, behind every message is somebody
real. It's someone fighting," says medical director Kevin Collins, Trinity Cancer Care Center.
of those fighters is Phyllis Richardson who has been battling ovarian cancer
for 16 years. But, she hasn't given up.
just go with the ups and downs, and I don't know I just don't feel like I've
been through that much. But, I guess I have," says Richardson.
Richardson was at the Cancer Care
Center for chemo when the
pink fire truck pulled up.
it's here, because they told me that it was coming. And [they said], 'We would like you to go
out there and get in there and get a ride.' And I was like, 'No!'"
But after
some convincing, Richardson
was ready for a trip of a lifetime.
"Ready to go," says Richardson.
"Thrilled, honored, and humbled."
"We got a pink truck, sirens going. She knows she's the single most
important person right now. And, it just makes them feel good. And,
as a driver, it makes us feel good," says Hass.
Richardson goes back inside the Cancer Care
Center for treatment, she's
again inspired to keep fighting.
fight, fight," says Richardson.
It's a day Richardson says she
wouldn't give up for anything.
This is the first time the Pink Heals fire truck visited Minot.
All of the
money raised selling pink t-shirts at each stop goes towards the operational
costs of the fire truck.
Evangelist Franklin Graham prayed on a sidewalk outside the Pentagon Thursday after his invitation to a prayer service inside was withdrawn because of comments that insulted people of other religions. More>>

text: Welcome to our eighteenth installment of the Ninersnation Community Thread. Here we can go into off-topics such as why are my arms so hairy? Who licks their knife? What is the weather like? So now our front page football topics will be about football (strange concept, I know). First rule is, ignore speling errers! Second rule is that site decorum is still on. No talk into religion, politics, or dirty dirty. No personal attacks, racism, or sexist remarks. Images are allowed, just be tasteful and pretend Tim Tebow is sitting next to you. This is going to be like the draft threads so we can come back to a discussion so that means REC THIS! That is a good rule of thumb in any situation. So lets have some fun here. The new topic of conversation: Shameless gluttony is the best. I just ate a cookie for breakfast. Well, its not real breakfast, more of an appetizer. What have we had for breakfast and what should you have eaten? Are you already looking forward to lunch? Does this girdle make me look fat?

FWC approves Atlantic grouper closure effective Jan. 1by Willie Howard
Anglers will not be able to fish for so-called shallow-water groupers in state waters from January through the end of April, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission decided Thursday during its meeting in Clewiston.
The spawning-season closure for state waters matches federal regulations (which apply beyond 3 miles off Florida's east coast) to protect groupers along Florida's Atlantic coast and all of Monroe County (Florida Keys).
The January-to-May closed season applies to shallow-water groupers: gag grouper, black grouper, red grouper, scamp, red hind, rock hind, coney, grasby, yellowfin, yellowmouth and tiger groupers. It applies to recreational and commercial anglers.
"These rules are intended to help speed the recovery and rebuilding process for Atlantic grouper and reduce the likelihood of harvest overruns and possible additional fishing restrictions in federal waters," FWC Chairman Rodney Barreto said.
In addition to the closed season, the rules establish bag limits for state waters that match federal limits. They include a three-fish-per-angler daily bag limit for all grouper. The aggregate bag limit applies to recreational anglers fishing in the Atlantic waters off Florida and all of Monroe County.
Only one gag or black grouper can be kept daily. The rule also prohibits the captain and crew of for-hire boats from keeping fish as part of the aggregate grouper bag limit.
The FWC also matched the feds in requiring dehooking tools aboard recreational and commercial boats for anglers to use as needed to remove hooks from Atlantic reef fish.
"Dehooking tools are a proven way to limit the handling of fish and help increase the odds that fish will survive when they are released," Barreto said.

On this day in 1951, Dean Taylor was born in Brawley, California. After four years as a minor league general manager and holding various front office jobs with the Royals, Braves and Major League Baseball, Taylor was hired to replace Sal Bando as the Brewers' GM on September 21, 1999.
After the Bando era, the Brewer organization was pretty bereft of talent. With that said, things didn't get significantly better under Taylor as the Brewers went 197-289 during his tenure and set a franchise record with 106 losses in 2002.
Here are some of the lowlights of Taylor's run:
- In December of 1999 he traded Jeff Cirillo and Scott Karl to the Rockies for pitchers Jimmy Haynes and Jamey Wright and catcher Henry Blanco, who combined to post 3.5 WAR over seven seasons as Brewers. Cirillo was worth 5.2 wins to the Rockies by himself in 2000-01.
- Later in the month he traded Fernando Vina to the Cardinals for reliever Juan Acevedo (0.8 rWAR in one season as a Brewer) and two minor leaguers who never appeared in a game as Brewers.
- The next month, he traded Cal Eldred and Jose Valentin to the White Sox for Jaime Navarro and John Snyder. I covered the outcome of that deal here.
- The following December, he signed Jeffrey Hammonds to one of the worst free agent contracts in Brewer history.
- In 2002, he traded Mark Loretta (who would go on to play seven more seasons, make two All Star teams and win a Silver Slugger Award) to the Astros for Wayne Franklin and Keith Ginter.
With help from the B-Ref Play Index, happy birthday today to Seattle Pilot and 1970-71 Brewer Gus Gil, who turns 72.

Our Best Dressed of the Week winner, Olga Kurylenko, continued to promote her latest movie, 'Oblivion', by attending the Taipei premiere in Taiwan with co-star Tom Cruise on Saturday evening.
She has been stunning us with a variety of dresses by Nina Ricci, Emilio Pucci, Elie Saab and Marchesa, so she took a different route this time, wearing a Balmain Pre-Fall 2013 frock.
The high-neck long-sleeved micro-mini leather dress, which almost looks like it was carved out of varnished wood, was styled with a neat bun and glossy lips, and gold Jimmy Choo 'Lance' sandals.
I love this look. It's my second favourite following the Marchesa gown. She's keeping us on our toes, keeping things interesting and proving she's not a one-trick pony.
Some of you tire of a never-ending stream of gowns during a promo tour, so are you glad she switched things up on this occasion?

Holiday Easter is coming on April 20, and that means there are a few ways to get in the spirit of the holiday.
For those who like to include furry, four-legged canines, two pet treat egg hunts will be held during the next two weekends.
Key Peninsula Parks will hold its sixth annual Pet Easter Treat Hunt from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday at Volunteer Park. The free event will feature booths from the Humane Society, Wags N Whiskers 4H and Olympic Bird Fanciers. There will be a costume contest at the end of the program. Non-perishable food donations are encouraged for a holiday food drive.
The Easter Bunny will hold court at the Uptown Gig Harbor Shopping Center fountain. A time to meet the bunny, hunt for eggs and do other holiday-related activities will start at 10 a.m. Saturday.
The Peninsula Metropolitan Parks District also will host a spring egg hunt for pets from noon to 2 p.m. April 19 at Sehmel Homestead Park. Suggested donation is $2 per child. Photos with the Easter Bunny will cost $3.
The egg hunt will run throughout the event so each child has a chance to find a treat.Karen Miller: 253-358-4155 firstname.lastname@example.com Twitter: @gateway_karen

The Time Before the Time Before Now
Air pollution is a beast. The rules and regulations are overly complex. The redundancy is ridiculous. I had no desire to enter air, but then I was there. Now, almost 5 months later, the senior position still has not been filled and the projects keep stacking up. I'm surprised to find that I actually enjoy some of the air side of things, though water is still my desired field.
Additionally, launching Encounter Community Church back in August has equally added to my day-to-day. It's something I'm passionate about--making disciples who make disciples--enough so that I'm staking my claim on the words of the One who established The Church. Disciple making was Jesus' primary objective on earth. It was important to Him, obviously, or He wouldn't have brought it up in His last statements before He went back to Heaven. ECC is going strong and God is blessing us and I'm thankful to be a part of it.
But what sucks is the timedrain that's been applied. My hour commute added with my long work days added with ECC work leaves me drained. Me being drained unfortunately results in my family being neglected. I treasure the time I get to spend with Keisha and Avonlea and Callum. I love my family so much and I miss them when I'm not home. I need to be a better husband, a better father. I need to efficiently spend my time with them when I'm home. I'm aware of the issue and I sincerely believe that it's a temporary thing, but I also realize that I have to stay on top of it or else I'll become yet another zombie enslaved to the consumer, self-serving culture. Godspeed to me, I say.
That's where I'm at. That's where I've been. That's why my blog is sidelined, cause at the end of the day this thing is just an electronic archive of my life, a digital record for the future me to look back upon and read. Just like taking a picture or recording a video is great and all, but if taking a picture comes at the expense of actually missing the event, then what's the point? A picture is a memory. A picture for a picture's sake is not a memory at all. There is the functional purpose of book reviews here on Rememorandom, but that's a mere corollary to the intent.
And I'm all about living intentionally, living honestly, openly, sincerely, unashamed and unafraid. I hope you are, too.

so many wonderful and exciting things!
not only finding the time, but how to use what you have to the utmost is an incredible challenge. it is especially hard when it isn't a matter of choosing between good/bad, but good/good. I wish you well!
and thanks for checking in.
- logankstewart said...
Thanks L. And well said. Hope all is well for you and yours.
- Carl V. Anderson said...
Sorry about the unexpected job change, but am glad you are embracing the challenge and at least enjoying some parts of it.
Super-excited to hear about the church and how well that is going.
It can be especially hard to get things done and have time when you have a young family and other time-consuming responsibilities. And although it can sometimes be painful, trimming out the unnecessary things is often the best way to maintain sanity and keep the priorities straight. Nice to hear from you, I was just thinking about you the other day and wondering how you were.
Hope you and the fam have a wonderful Thanksgiving and a joyous and relaxing Christmas season.

Thanks Carl. Especially hard, yes. But trimming extraneous from my life is necessary. Simplify, simplify!
Happy Thanksgiving and Christmas to you, too, buddy.
