The Nationals and Braves have kicked off what should be a year-long battle at the top of the National League East this season, with the Braves currently sitting atop the division with a sparkling 14-5 record while the banged-up Nationals are tied with the Mets at four games back.
But let's focus on the Washington Nationals and Mike Rizzo, their general manager of nearly four years. Rizzo took the job with a necessary air of confidence, and the track record of a hard-working baseball man who started as an area scout in 1986 and did not become a scouting director until the Diamondbacks promoted him in 2000. When Arizona passed over Rizzo in 2006 for the general manager vacancy, he left to become the assistant GM in Washington. After Jim Bowden's resignation in March of 2009, Rizzo was named interim GM and claimed the job on a permanent basis only months later.
The timing of Bowden's resignation was unexpected and rather curious. The 2009 MLB Amateur draft was just three months away, and the Nationals held the number one overall pick with a consensus top pick on the board in flame-throwing San Diego State starting pitcher Stephen Strasburg, in addition to the tenth overall pick in the draft (compensation for not signing Aaron Crow in 2008).
With the Nationals in the midst of a horrendous season, ultimately finishing with a 59-103 record, Rizzo displayed the patience that his predecessor appeared to not possess. Even in being a rookie GM with what one might assume is a short leash, Rizzo did not rush into a flurry of trades or transactions in his first summer, or even his first off-season, only completing one trade in his first 15 months on the job.
We'll take a look at three categories of player acquisition: the amateur draft, trades, and free agency. Sit back, relax, and enjoy an overview of the genius that is Mike Rizzo, and the patient diligence that built a potential dynasty up from the ground in less than three calendar years.
July 2010: Nationals trade closer Matt Capps to the Minnesota Twins for catcher Wilson Ramos and minor-league pitcher Joe Testa.
As a Twins fan, this trade was tough to wrap my mind around. Capps had been released by the Pittsburgh Pirates over the winter, and Rizzo pounced. Despite a poor 2009 campaign, Capps had been largely reliable in posting a 3.04 ERA and a 1.06 WHIP in 210 games over the previous three seasons in Pittsburgh. The Nationals made Capps their closer, and after being named Washington's representative in the 2010 All-Star game, Rizzo saw the perfect opportunity to flip an "All-Star closer" for a valuable building block.
Rizzo did just that in convincing the Twins to give up Ramos, Baseball America's #58 prospect. With Ramos blocked by Joe Mauer (yes, the DH is a thing, but the Twins forgot that for a moment, I think), GM Bill Smith was persuaded into moving one of his top minor-leaguers for a decent relief pitcher. And the Nationals had their catcher of the future, all while giving up an expendable reliever….
December 2011: Nationals trade pitchers A.J. Cole, Brad Peacock, and Tommy Milone and catcher Derek Norris to the Oakland Athletics for pitcher Gio Gonzalez.
After nearly giving up an even larger haul of prospects for Zach Greinke in a trade that was nixed by Greinke and his no-trade clause, Rizzo out-bid a number of other teams to land the services of Gio Gonzalez. The key to the deal, other than Gonzalez' all around good-ness, was the fact that he is under team control until 2015. Greinke, on the other hand, would have required an immediate contract extension.
Peacock (#3 Nationals prospect at the time, according to Baseball America), Cole (#4), and Norris (#9), made up a good chunk of Washington's up-and-comers in the farm system, but further stacking an already-stacked rotation (and cheaply, at that) was certainly worth the cost.
(Side note: Somehow, the Nationals were able to re-acquire Cole in December of 2012 in a three-way trade with Oakland and the Seattle Mariners. The Nationals gave up Michael Morse in the trade, but came away as the clear winners yet again.)
August 2012: Nationals trade catcher David Freitas to the Oakland Athletics for catcher Kurt Suzuki and cash.
After the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline, the Nationals got a solid all-around catcher from the Oakland Athletics for a marginal catching prospect that hadn't played above Hi-A at the time of the trade. It will be interesting to see what the Nationals do with a Suzuki/Ramos time share moving forward, but it is likely already one of the better catching duos in the game.
December 2012: Nationals trade pitcher Alex Meyer to the Minnesota Twins for center fielder Denard Span.
This trade was a finishing touch, and almost a luxury, to complete the best all-around lineup in the league. The talent level swap here may lean slightly in the Twins' favor, as Meyer has ace/superstar potential, though he had never pitched a game above A-ball at the time of the trade. Span will never be a superstar, per se, but he is one of the top leadoff men in the game. He is an above average fielder with a good arm in center field, very good speed on the bases, and has always had a very good on-base percentage from the lead-off spot.
2009: Stephen Strasburg (#1), Drew Storen (#10)
2010: Bryce Harper (#1)
Yes, drafting is a pretty simple thing if you have the number one overall pick with a consensus number one prospect. Imagine having that scenario play out two years in a row. That happened to Rizzo and the Nationals, and having two consecutive 100-loss seasons certainly paid off in a big way.
Other Nationals players that were drafted by the organization pre-Rizzo include Danny Espinosa, Ian Desmond, Ryan Zimmerman, Jordan Zimmermann, and Ross Detwiler. That's a pretty good home-grown track record, and Rizzo has hit on his high picks and traded middling-to-topish-tier prospects for legitimate major-league-ready talent.
Free Agency
Rizzo has done a great job filling in the Nationals roster over the past few seasons with one to two-year stop-gaps that are easily tradable or are low-risk, high-reward players that become expendable, but in general, free agency has been somewhat of a mixed bag for the club.
In a highly criticized move coming after a 69-93 season, Rizzo signed former Phillies' outfielder Jayson Werth to a seven-year, $126 million contract in December of 2010, running through Werth's age-38 season. In 2011, Werth hit just .232/.330/.389 and looked very much like a rapidly declining player that had just cashed in on a big contract. In 2012, Werth's batting average bounced back to .300, but he hit just 5 home runs in 344 plate appearances due to a wrist injury that sapped much of his power.
Tossing the first three weeks of this season into the equation, Werth is hitting .257/.348./409 for the Nationals over the past two-plus seasons. Not very good (and certainly not worth the ridiculous contract), but given the amount of money that Rizzo has managed to save in other areas, it appears to be an over-pay that shouldn't cripple them too much moving forward.
Last year, Rizzo struck gold with Adam LaRoche's best year since 2006. This year, Rizzo took what could turn out to be a fantastic gamble on a one-year, $13 million contract for Dan Haren, in addition to a more substantial gamble on closer Rafael Soriano (2 years, $18m with a $14 m team option for 2015). Now that the Nationals are a bonafide contender and a potential dynasty, look for Rizzo to spend money if he sees an opportunity that fits his vision for the Nationals.
The Future
How great can the Nationals be? Sky's the limit, really. It sounds crazy, but the lineup is well-rounded with speed and on-base percentage at the top with Span, Werth, and Harper, pop in the middle with Harper, Zimmerman, and LaRoche, and a good mix of power, potential, and some speed towards the bottom with Espinosa, Desmond, and whoever starts at catcher.
The lineup is solid defensively, with Harper and Span covering for Werth's declining range in right field, and a young double-play combination up the middle. Both Ramos and Suzuki are solid catchers, and Zimmerman has always been one of the best-fielding third baseman in the game.
The rotation has the potential to be the best in the game, if it isn't already. Strasburg/Gonzalez/Zimmermann is likely the best 1-2-3 punch in the league, and Haren and Detwiler as 4-5 starters is almost ridiculous. The bullpen is solid and has the potential to be spectacular with Clippard and Storen setting up for Soriano.
The farm system has been drained somewhat in landing some of the key cogs on the big league roster, but if they stay relatively healthy, the Nationals have a shot at an early-to-mid-1990s Atlanta Braves run, or potentially a late 1990s New York Yankees run if they have better luck in the playoffs. Our collective hats should be off to the job that Mike Rizzo has done in his four short years at the helm of the Nats. The current ability and overwhelming potential of D.C.'s squad will be a treat to watch, both this season and beyond.

Welcome to the San Diego Ultra Running Friends
2013-2014 TrailFit Campaign
Thanks for visiting our website. TrailFit was created by San Diego Ultra Running Friend, a tax-exempt non-profit organization. The 2013-2014 TrailFit season is a series of pre-scheduled trail work events in the San Diego mountains designed to maintain and improve the trails used for ultra races and training runs.
Ideally, we'd like every ultra runner in the San Diego area to contribute a volunteer day for trail work. If everyone pitches in, we'll continue to make substantial improvements to our local trails. Our goal is to have the best mountain trail running network on the planet!
TrailFit is particularly important to the local governmental agencies because we have the fitness levels to access and work on the more remote trails (such as Long Valley on the PCT). Many of the trails used in our races do not allow mountain bikes and are rarely used by equestrians, and as a result, we are usually the primary user group concerned with the condition of these trails.
training for us runners. Plus, it's very satisfying at the end of the work to gaze upon a wide open trail that was previously clogged with brush, dead trees and who knows what else. Most of us have spent innumerable hours training and racing on these trails so TrailFit is a great opportunity to give something back and help preserve these trails for the future.
Normally, we start early in the morning and depending on conditions, work for four to six hours. We'll head back to a picnic area or Todd's cabin for a nice lunch provided by SURF. We make sure to have some vegan options, plus soft drinks and some decent ale. In the winter months, your fearless trail crew leader may bring along a sampling of single malts to share. It's a fun time to relax, talk some trail trash, make new friends, get the inside dope on local races and trails, etc.
Please use the link to our calendar of upcoming events. Because we will normally be running power equipment such as hedge trimmers and brush cutters, in order to operate in the most efficient manner, the size of the trail crew will normally be limited to 6 persons. Attendance is on a first come, first served basis. There will also be regular mid-week trail work outings (usually on Wednesdays) in which you can participate. Please contact me if you're interested in joining us for a mid-week event.
Participation is not limited to ultra runners. Friends and family are more than welcome. Children age 14 and older are OK so long as accompanied by an adult (we just ask that you carefully consider if they are ready for this level of physical exertion).
Funding for our projects comes primarily from SURF and the race directors for the SD100, Oriflamme 50K, Cuyamaca 100K, PCT 50, and Cuyamaca Three Peaks 50K. We pay no salaries and have minimal fixed overhead which means that nearly 100% of contributions go directly to support trail work projects.
Finally, thanks to all of our volunteers for putting out the manpower and girlpower we need to maintain and improve our local trail system. If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to contact me.
Ken Bonus, Trail Coordinator

iPhone Rumor of the Day 1/11 - Cheap iPhone or No Cheap iPhone???
We've been calling 'BS' here all week since rumors started surfacing on sources ranging from DigiTimes to Bloomberg News about Apple working on a new, cheaper line of $99 to $149 iPhones. It never made sense to US because they already achieve this via price-cuts to older models like the iPhone 4 and iPhone 3GS that are still being offered, virtually free.
Well, yesterday Reuters reported via the Shanghai Evening News that Apple's Phil Schiller agrees with us, telling a Japanese paper that "Despite the popularity of cheap smartphones, this will never be the future of Apple's products. In fact, although Apple's market share of smartphones is just about 20%, we own the 75% of the profit."
Today, Reuters has pulled that story noting that the Shangai Evening News story it was based upon was "subsequently updated with substantial changes to its content" and that no additional Reuters story will be issued on the subject.
What does it all mean? We have no idea.
Earlier this week, Bloomberg news jumped on the bandwagon as well, noting that "the budget iPhone will launch "as soon as this year," according to sources familiar which Apple's plans who chose not to be named. The device will be part of a push to attract customers in developing nations, but will also be made available in the U.S. and other developed markets. Apple is said to be "weighing retail prices of $99 to $149 for a device that would debut in late 2013, at the earliest," Bloomberg reports, and the company has already "spoken to at least one of the top U.S. wireless carriers about its plans.""
Apple most recently announced on December 17th that it has sold over two million of its new iPhone 5 in China, just three days after its launch on December 14. iPhone 5 was made available in more than 100 countries by the end of December, making it the fastest iPhone rollout ever.
"Customer response to iPhone 5 in China has been incredible, setting a new record with the best first weekend sales ever in China," said Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. "China is a very important market for us and customers there cannot wait to get their hands on Apple products."
iPhone 5 is the thinnest and lightest iPhone ever, completely redesigned to feature a stunning new 4-inch Retina display; an Apple-designed A6 chip for blazing fast performance; and ultrafast wireless technology*-all while delivering even better battery life.** iPhone 5 comes with iOS 6, the world's most advanced mobile operating system with over 200 new features including: Shared Photo Streams, all-new Maps app, Passbook organization and even more Siri features and languages including Mandarin.

The Brauler Growler
Posted by Beer Blogger | Beer Gadgets | Posted on January 6th, 2012
While glass growlers are the most inexpensive route and work well, you do have to be gentle with them to insure they don't break. I once had a growler of Bezerk Malt Liquor from Rock Bottom Minneapolis, brewed by now Surly Brewing head brewer Todd Haug, shatter all over the front cab of a loaner vehicle just as I was returning it. Not a fun time.
This is where the Brauler comes in. It's a stainless steel growler that won't chip or shatter. Cool looking enough but that isn't the coolest part. The planned add-ons for this growler are what make it really cool. A handle, a cap, and even a swing-top bail top. But the coolest I think is the CO2 tap cap. While it could be even better if the CO2 allowed you to add a little charge to keep a growler fresh after opening it and sampling some but now all of the craft beer inside, this top allows you to pour a foamy pint from the growler without having to wrestle with tipping a full growler. Pretty sweet idea for carrying your suds. Checkout the Brauler here.

I have a son that lives in Corvallis OR. He needs a beer growler as advertised in Wired. I see that it is only available in brewpubs which Oregon has aplenty. Can you give me information about ordering one of these Brauler Growlers for him for his birthday?
Thank you
It is very depressing to see you having these made in China. This idea should be made by American workers and not selling out to increase a profit margin. I am sure they are going to have counterfeit copys on sale before you knkw it.
ditto. i love my beer and i would gladly pay more for a USA made growler – esp. as cool as this.
I agree. Good chance you are getting crap, contaminated steel if they are being made in china. Prefer products made in USA. Maybe I should call my patent lawyer cousin and see what I need to modify to the design to make a close copy…MADE IN USA! WHOOP!
I bought two of these Braulers. One locally and one online. I love them as they keep the beer colder longer, are lightweight, look great, great conversation pieces at the local tasting room and the best feature is they are about 68 OZ when filled to the top.
[…] awesome. In addition to being on tap, some lucky folks stopped in on Sunday the 14th to purchase a ticket for a growler of Mango Mama released on Monday. The tickets went quick with a number of people lined up before […]

you saw me standing alone
without a dream in my heart
without a love of my own
Always, always in my head.
I wanted to tear you down. To have our scars finally matched. I was trying to be cold. I needed you to be hurt. But I'm unable to presume this behavior. I can't. I can't help but give in. I guess I'm just not a vengeful spirit, like I wish I was.
It's nothing personal, but I don't trust people in general. I'm fully aware that I have friends that I can confide in certain things and others not so much. But there's usually conditions. Limitations. I'm done with telling people every little thing. I think it's exhausting. And stupid. I try every once and awhile to open up, I guess, but there ends up being a reason why I shouldn't have done that. If you don't know much about me, there's one thing you should know by now: if I tell you something and I make it clear I'm telling you this in confidence, then keep it that way. Otherwise, anytime I do want to tell you something, I will hold back.
The thing is, it's difficult for me. Who knows who's being genuine nowadays. It's not like I prefer to figure things out on my own. But that's what happens. I know I have friends that are just around long enough to hear some juice. And at the same time, I have those who sincerely hold concern for me. But the way things are going, it's getting rather tricky figuring out who those people happen to be.
had the chance to express fully how things have been lately. And I don't think I can. But then again, when can I ever? I've always been pretty bad at such things. Perhaps maybe I just like to think so. Just so I have an excuse not to answer certain questions. Before I start to ramble, back to the point.
These past few days. Week. Pfft, few months. Have caught me off guard. I've begun certain projects, yet to finish some and find myself uncertain in continuing with others. There have been multiple times where I find myself saying, "How the hell did I put myself into this situation?" But fuck it. Who dies without a few scars anyway, right?
Just so you know, I only said that to convince myself that it's okay to fuck up. Which I tend to do a lot.
my spitting habit attracts more guys than ladies. Shrugs.

Why is Salman Khan is angry these days?
Salman Khan is mighty upset that his career did not necessarily go up after Wanted and now he has clearly come out in the open and is blasting Vipul Shah. "If I get bored in my own film then there is definitely a problem," he told us.
But then Salman feels that the film was good. "London Dreams was a amazing movie. But it was 25-30 minutes too long. I told Vipul to cut it. But he did not listen to me and cut it only after five days. I have seen the film and I know.
The film should have been 2 hours and 20 minutes and that would have made it very good.By the time he cut the film it was too late," he thunders.

Sources: L Stephenson & Pacers at impasse. Indy offers 5 yrs/$44 mill. Lance wants more, will talk to others. Chi, LAL, Hornets interested.
— Chris Broussard (@Chris_Broussard) July 2, 2014
Less than 36 hours after free agency started, the Pacers and Lance Stephenson are "at impasse," according to Chris Broussard of ESPN, who just tweeted the following:
"Sources: L Stephenson & Pacers at impasse. Indy offers 5 yrs/$44 mill. Lance wants more, will talk to others. Chi, LAL, Hornets interested."
Yesterday, Candace Buckner of the Indy Star reported that top Pacers exec Larry Bird has set a fixed price he won't exceed in contract negotiations.
Is $44 million over five years that top number?
In looking at the team's payroll situation, I speculated that the ceiling would run closer to $49 million over five years, so if the figure Broussard report is correct than the Pacers are coming in lower than their the highest offer they can make whole still staying under the luxury tax threshold.
The good news for those who want to see Lance return, however, is the five-year part. Per CBA rules, Indiana is the only team that can offer five years and they are reportedly willing to do that.
So if Stephenson wants more guaranteed money than $44 million, he will need to find a team willing to pay him an average of $11 million or more over the next four years. That certainty isn't out of the question, but it is likely a figure at which many teams will begin to question how badly they want the emotional young talent recently removed from an antics-full Eastern Conference Finals.
Then again, Lance and his agent may well be looking at his age and how seemingly LeBron-like durability while prioritizing career earning potential over upfront guaranteed money. In that case, something around $40 million over four years — or even $36 million over three — could look a lot more appealing.
We'll see.
Presumably Stephenson will now meet with other teams and wait for the offers to stay piling up.

HSTAT is an amazing School! My daughter, who is a freshman is doing awesome and she has all the supports she needs to keep her focused and on track. Very happy with the curriculm and the teachers at TELE. GS Freshman Parent 2014
HSTAT is an excellent school. I am a senior and will be graduating this year. Telecommunications has never failed to help me with school work as well as private matters. I am so grateful that I am a part of the school. Tele is a very upscale school and I recommend all students should attend. The teachers are extremely kind, respectful, kind, caring and funny. Every class that I have been in, was a fun learning environment. I will greatly miss this school with the addition to my friends and teachers. Telecommunications is a phenomenal high school that I wish every student can be a part of. Class of 2013 ! Whoo - hoo :-)
This school is amazing! It was my first year in the school, and I had a tough time going in because I was scared to be moving from my middle school (a place in which I was very comfortable) to another school. My teachers and the staff did everything they could to help me. They made me feel like I belonged. The teachers are great, they took me from being a not so great math student, to a above average student. They are all so kind. There is nothing wrong with this school. I love it!
I can't praise this school enough. My son is a special education student and has graduated on time with a regents diploma. Thanks to the teachers, advisors, counselors and everyone else involved, my son has grown as a person as well as academically and is graduating with a sense of confidence and a motivation to reach his goals. I am very thankful to Tele, its one of the best schools in ny.
i amm almost done with my freshmen year and i have to say that this school is amazing with the challenging curriculum and the nice and caring teachers even though we do more work then other schools we get rewarded for that with an extra .25 credits for every class which really helps us in the long run and the teachers notice we do alot of work so they often reward us by not giving hw on the weekends
The High School of Telecommunication Arts and Technology has a lot to offer to its students. Peter J. Sharp Program for PSAT and SAT prep, Saturday regent's prep program, MindsMatter NYC inc program, Theatre Development Fund s Scholarship program, Posse Scholarship program and other variety of stuff. As an honor student, Telecommunication has helped me so much in developing academic habits with the loads of homework and its tough curriculum. Tele has help me get into summer programs like Global works Fiji islands, JSA Stanford University and Princeton University, Columbia University Summer program, NYU Summer, and other programs. It is a great school and an awesome opportunity to be an honor student because of the programs available to its students. Thanks to Telecommunication, I got a full scholarship to a private institution, and I graduated with other high achieving students who went to georgetown, columbia, NYU, RIT, and other tough schools
I honestly can say that Tele has never let me down. It has the type of potential that no other schools have. I've noticed that over the years, these other 'specialized high schools' try too hard, and compete just to get students that they can work like a dog. The High School of Telecommuncations Arts & Technology is a very well kept school with very high standards just like the students there. Everyone is respectful to eachother, etc. Tele sticks with their game, and never wants to compete, unless it's the sports teams =D. But I must say, that I could never argue against the fact that tele is a great school. It always was, and always will be. And now that it's my last year there, I am gonna be so bummed when I leave this place. My life basically started there. GO TELLEEEE! =D
The school has a reliable staff and does not take themselves for something they are not.
We got a lot of homework which make our education better ! ALSO in Italian class is so much fun than i thought ~ :D
The experience i had in HSTAT is incredible and i could never forget them. the teachers in HSTAT goes beyond what a teacher are suppose to do. they take time off of their free time to even help students if it is necessary
It's small, but your teachers know you better and it's always adventurous here!
Telecommunications is an amazing school. The teachers are amazing and the best. They are really caring and want you to suceed.
This school is great it has taught me everything i could know and all i need to know in order to succeed in life and in college thank you HSTAT
Telecommunications is a great school with a top of the line education and teachers who get to know you. It's a really warm environment and I look forward to going to school every day.
Its a high academy challenging school. its curriculum is very advanced with a lot of opportunities.
I love HSTAT! It's the best high school ever! The school prepares you for college, and I can proudly say so!
I love this school. The parent coordinator is excellent and keeps parents/families well informed. The teachers, for the most part, are caring and make an effort to communicate with parents. My son's high school years here have been wonderful, and the negative academic experiences have been very few. I feel he is safe at school and that means a lot to me.
In this is schoool my teacher's push me hard and I can't say they are all the best but they do try their best. This year will be my third year in this school and I haven't expirenced any violence. The only thing is that I lost a valubale piece of equipment. Now I am more cautious of my belongings.
I graduated from this school in 2001. I as well as most of my friends moved on to higher education and we have all graduated. This was a great high school and it really prepared me academically for the world. The neighborhood is a safe and the teachers care. As a future teacher I would hope to give back to this school one day.
Great school. High academic standards and expectations. Excellent support from staff and teachers. High college acceptance rate. Principal is visible, involved, and approachable. The online feature that allows parents to keep track student academic progress creates a whole new level of parent involvement. Fantastic sports program. I have complete confidence that my son is receiving a top rate education. I highly recommend this school.

Shambhala Sun | March 2014Q&A: TAZ TAGORE OF THE RECIPROCITY FOUNDATION
"We're ready to embrace them exactly as they are," says Tagore (right). "That's scary for a teenager."
twelve stories above the clothiers and bustle that are native to its West 36th
Street address, the
Reciprocity Foundation has been quietly making a positive impact on the lives
of homeless youth in New York City for ten years now. Its programs, strongly
attuned to the needs of youth of color and those who identify as lesbian,
gay, bisexual, or transgender, are largely the work of the RFs cofounders, Taz
Tagore and Adam Bucko. Theyre two dear friends who discovered a shared passion
to help those in need and to meet those needs through unconventional, even
spiritual, means. Taz met me in the Reciprocity offices, which feature a
meditation room, a massage chair, and a fully functioning vegetarian kitchen,
all respectfully, fruitfully shared by staff and kids alike. She explained why
what makes Reciprocity different is what makes it work. ROD MEADE SPERRY
How is it that you came to work with homeless youth?
I was a teenager living in Toronto with my family, which had
fled East Africa and bounced around Europe, trying to find a country that would
have us. When they were allowed to come to Canada, there was still that sense
of psychological homelessness. Who am I and How do I fit in are
questions that I grew up not having answers to.
I used to skip school and head downtown to meet artists and
designers and people who were trying to answer those questions in profound
ways. On one of those days, I was looking for a student art show and opened the
wrong door. It was a shelter. At first I was horrifiedit was really very
institutional. The walls were this awful color; it was noisy, it was chaotic.
You didnt feel safe at all. My first impulse was, I need to get out of here.
But one of the kids bummed a cigarette from me, and I just hung out all
afternoon getting to know one youth and another and another. Then I went back
to organize a huge school event to raise money for the shelter. Now, after
years of practice and therapy and everything else, I see Id recognized
something in this group of kids that was in me.
You also spent time working on Wall Street as an
investment banker.
Yes, for a couple of years. I think I needed to know that I
could do anything that I chose. In the end, I chose to turn away from the money
and the power and the opportunity and the status, and to serve others. I also
had a job in between, working for the designer Ed Schlossberg. But Adam called
me there, asking to work on design projects with some of his students at
Covenant House. As soon as we started that, it was like, Okay, okay, I get
it! I left and we started Reciprocity right away. Adam quit his job too.
It was probably one of the biggest acts of faith of my life.
Id gone to Harvard Business School and had a good, wealthy network, but
Reciprocity Foundation was a few degrees away from the kind of philanthropy
that the people I was connected to were doing.
Has that changed?
Were a
contemplative nonprofit working for kids, not for donors. Thats a hard path to
walk, and I think its why weve never become a million-dollar agency with a
big, powerful board. Adam and I are doing this as spiritual practice.
Its deeply nourishing and its absolutely what I want to do, but that doesnt
mean that its comfortable or happy or pleasant all the time.
Do the homeless youth often push back against the
spiritual and contemplative aspects of what you do? I mean, this is not
necessarily normal stuff to any young person, homeless or not.
Yeah! Theyve never experienced anything like this and its
something that they deeply crave. But theres also a part of them that wants to
run away. They know that what we expect from them is authenticity; we want them
to show up exactly as they are, and were ready to welcome them and embrace
them exactly as they are. Thats scary for a teenager or for a young adult.
No ones ever said anything like that to them.
Right. They think, What if this group of people rejects
me too? What if they dont see my goodness? What if they dont embrace who I
really am?
How is it that homeless youth come to you? And how do
they come to feel at home in the group?
Were connected to shelters and caseworkers and social
workers, so they refer them in. But then we have youth who basically say to
peers in shelters, I really like you, and I want to show you a group of
people that you should meet. Students often first visit our Thursday-night
gatherings. We have a big meal, a guest speaker, a meditation. Students begin
to feel, Okay, I can trust this. There are some cool people here and theyre
feeding me and it feels good.
Or we schedule an intake with them. But instead of Heres a
seven-page form, give us your sexual history, your medical history, your
history of homelessness, your identification, our approach is, Yeah, we want
some information from you but first, three questions: Who do you want to be
in this world? Why are you really here as a homeless youth? Where do you need
to go? We dont offer housing, so we need to know what is it that we can really
do to support your journey. Theres often tears because, literally, no one has
asked them these questions before. Everything falls away and theyre just
crying Thank you. Thank you for recognizing that I have a role to
play even if I dont know what it is yet.
Thats beautiful. What comes next?
Usually, individual counseling sessions at least once a
week, participating on our Thursday nights, finding a mentor from our community
to help them work on career or college aspirations and also how to bring
together all the aspects of their beings. Yes, its nice to work toward having
a great job and a sustainable wage, but you also need to know how to take care
of your body, how to be in healthy relationships, how to make good choices, how
to trust yourself and your intuition.
Do those working with younot just youth and their
families but local state government agencies and potential benefactorssee the
spirituality of the Reciprocity Foundation as a red flag or an obstacle?
Well, Adam and I are really open. Im a practicing Buddhist
and hes a practicing Christian, and there are no secrets in terms of how we
identify. We make clear that our students need to make their own choices. Were
not here to do anything other than remind them that contemplation, wisdom,
inner guidance, and spiritual practice are all fundamental ways of transforming
your life, and to not give them credence is actually quite foolish. Do we have
the best college and career coaching services available? Maybe. But I think the
magic is that inner transformation is at the very core of everything we do.
What are some entry points to this inner transformation?
Every students different, but everyone needs to be able to
breathe, let go, and connect to their potential through breath. So thats the
first thing we teach them. Grounding practices are the second. The third is
just being in the body. Often, the youth whove experienced sexual abuse,
whove engaged in sex work as part of their journey of homelessness, or those whove
experienced a lot of gang violence or physical violence have left their
body. The body work we do with themmassage, acupuncture, energy work,
yogahelps them reengage with and heal the body. Im not interested in yoga for
the sake of yoga, but as a part of a process thats being coached and where
theres a real end? Thats profound. Thats where yoga can play a role in
poverty alleviation.
It seems that confidencethat they have a place in this
world, that they have a skill set, that the way they see the world isnt at
odds with the world itselfis key to your students.
I think about it as potential. If youre connected
with your potential, its so different, right? Youre not homeless because you
have no potential, youre homeless because youre in the process of discovering
your potential. So, if you frame homelessness in that way, its an opportunity
to really discover through suffering, through challenge, your deeper potential.
And the kids are like, What? Really? This isnt just the shittiest two
years of my life? [Laughter.] Thats really profound for them.

X-Men Writer/Producer Simon Kinberg to Oversee Fox's Marvel Universe
- Written by Jeremy Shane on Friday, December 06 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
Source: THR
Ever since Marvel showed everyone that Superhero movies weren't to be screwed around with, other studios are getting serious about growing and connecting their own little universes. DC has always been looked at by fans to get it in gear, but now the two companies that own the cinema rights to Marvel properties are jumping in the mix as well. We already told you about Sony's plan to expand the Spider-Man universe, now Fox, owners of X-Men and Fantastic Four plan to get serious as well.
Bryan Singer has been hard at work on X-Men: Days of Future Past, trying to right the X-Men franchise after the horrible X-Men 3 and first Wolverine movies, and Kinberg has been right in the mix with him. Yesterday Singer announced the next X-Men Movie, with Apocalypse as the villain, showing they are pushing forward before Days of Future Past even hits the theaters. Kinberg has been tapped to write the Fantastic Four reboot and has bigger plans for Fox's version of the Marvel Universe.
He hopes to grow the franchise into one interlocking universe where movies connect to each other in some small way, the way Marvel has done. What this means for Mark Millar, the man who was supposed to have this role, is unknown. Perhaps he has moved on to other projects of his own, or will work with Kinberg as he was supposed to come on board after Fantastic Four.
I have a lot of ideas on how to built those brands and do what everybody is thinking of these days: Be like Marvel. I want to be able to build stories over multiple movies.
He doesn't plan to focus solely on franchises in his time with Fox however, with a desire to bring solo projects to the big screen as well. Rust, an adaptation of an amazing Archaia graphic novel, could get the green light next year. There are also sci-fi movies and more in the pipes that Kinberg is looking at as well.
There is a special kind of satisfaction on working on a story that no one has ever heard before.
I'm curious to see, not only a good Fantastic Four movie, but how they expand the two IP's beyond X-Men, Wolverine and Fantastic Four. They haven't allowed many other mutants to shine in the various X-Men movies, most fans jokingly refer to them all as Wolverine movies and Fantastic Four still has to get off the ground. With Marvel pushing into deep space, that does open up the possibility of Fox doing the same with cosmic character they own, like the Silver Surfer and other properties connected to the franchises, like the Shi'ar from X-Men. Rob Liefeld continues teasing fans with tweets about an upcoming X-Force movie, though it seems to be developing on its own at Fox so far, at least it will offer a new mutant star with Cable. They definitely have plenty to work with, but still have a lot of groundwork ahead of them to bring it all together and begin expanding.

Yes, I recommend this product.
"I have been looking for a great no chafe bra that is also supportive for a long time and this bra is both. Most no seams bras are made for people with A/B cup size and this bra is great for B/C. The reasons I did not give this bra five stars are 1) they left a tag on the inside which rubs a little and 2) the price."

Our children grow to be capable, balanced, confident learners who embrace new experiences and opportunities.

COLLEYVILLE -- Like any couple, Dallas Wiens and Jamie Nash had a busy Friday, the day before their wedding.Unlike many couples, while they checked the programs, and approved the cakes and flowers, they were trailed by a camera crew.When Wiens and Nash get married today in a west Fort Worth church, they'll be doing more than starting their lives together. They'll be starting their lives as possible reality TV stars.Their wedding is the featured storyline for the pilot of Down Providence Lane, a show created by Grapevine-based Carlene Altom. It follows several people who have experienced tragedy and gone on to help other people.Wiens became internationally known when he received the nation's first full-face transplant after an electrical accident while working in Fort Worth in November 2008. Nash was badly burned in a car wreck in 2010 in Ellis County.They met in a support group at Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas and became engaged in November.Asked what message he wants to send by letting TV cameras into his life, Wiens had a one-word answer: "Hope."Wiens, of Fort Worth, and Nash, of Colleyville, spent all day Friday meeting with the vendors who have donated wedding planning, cakes, the bride's dress, photography, catering and decorations.Several are clustered in The Village in Colleyville, where the couple hopped door to door doing final preparations.Because they have signed an exclusive contract with People magazine for coverage of their wedding, Wiens said they could not answer the Star-Telegram's questions about that.But they were under no such restriction about the TV pilot.The pilotAltom said she set up an initial meeting with Wiens in a fast-food restaurant.A young man who overheard them talking came up to their table in tears and told them that they had to make the show, she said.After that, Wiens was on board.Learning that Wiens and Nash were having trouble paying for a wedding, Altom asked vendors to donate services. The response will be part of the show's pilot.When she told the couple the proposed title, Altom said, they jumped out of their seats because "providence" has special meaning for Wiens. He describes what has happened to him as "divine providence.""My faith says there is no such thing as coincidence," he said. "It's made me a better man."In the show, Altom helps Wiens connect with Jay Johnson of CMT's Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders Making the Team to help him toward his goal of becoming a motivational speaker.What will set Nash and Wiens' televised wedding apart from others?"The reason it's going to come off so good is because of the couple," said wedding artistic director Marty Edwards. "It's not the same reason [people] watch celebrity or royal weddings. They change peoples' lives."The show's director, Delano Bryant, said he plans to have the pilot completed in about a month.Altom said this is her first television venture, but she's already in talks with at least one network interested in the pilot.On Nov. 13, 2008, Wiens was in a cherry picker painting Ridglea Baptist Church in Fort Worth when his head touched a power line. The surge of electricity destroyed most of his face.At Parkland Memorial Hospital in Dallas, doctors performed more than 20 procedures to save his life. The dead flesh from his face was removed and replaced by tissue and muscles from other parts of his body. He was left with a scarred, almost featureless face.He left the hospital with no eyes, nose or lips and began intensive rehab.In March 2011, he got a full facial transplant at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.In June 2010, Nash was texting and driving when her PT Cruiser veered off the road, flipped and caught fire in Ellis County. She was trapped, screaming for help as emergency personnel and passers-by used fire extinguishers and an ice chest to put out the fire.Also taken to Parkland, she remained in a coma for 10 weeks. Her recovery has included more than 20 surgeries, including the most recent, in which her fingers were straightened.As part of her recovery, she was attending a burn victim support group where she met Wiens.The weddingAbout 300 guests have been invited to the ceremony at Ridglea Baptist Church, which Wiens attended as a boy. Since he is blind, wedding coordinators say they have selected fragrant flowers to enhance his experience.Colleyville's Opulent Cakes is donating the bride's and groom's cakes."They're a deserving couple," owner Donna Nino said. "I do donations if it's something that's a good cause."To fit the wedding's Zen theme, the bride's five-tier square cake has pastel pink icing and black branches with pink cherry blossoms. Each layer is separated by Chinese lanterns.The reception will be at the Flying Saucer in downtown Fort Worth, another donation to the couple.Where are they going on their honeymoon? Altom said it was a secret.Nash plans to continue visiting schools to talk about texting and driving. She has started the TXT L8R (text later) foundation, which aims to raise awareness of the dangers of texting and driving.The couple hopes to build on their Pain with a Purpose ministry to help other burn and injury victims.Altom said there's a reason the two were able to find one another."Their passion for helping other people is what brought them together," she said.This report includes material from Star-Telegram archives.Dustin L.

North Dakota Health Insurance
Affordable health insurance coverage is an inevitable necessity, especially if you are the sole earning member of a family. Health insurance from a private insurer can be expensive; you need to assess your finances and the potential risks associated with your family's health. Approximately 47 million Americans do not have a proper health insurance in place. Majority of these uninsured people are the working families, who are exposed to the risk of crushing medical bills in the event of an illness or injury. Those families who are not covered by their employer's group coverage can avail their state-sponsored low-cost health insurance programs.
North Dakota is the 12th healthiest state to live in and receive health care services, according to the United Health Foundation's 2008 Health Rankings. However, the state fell four spots from its 8th position in 2007 and 2006. North Dakota's health care system is robust, but, the state's lawmakers need to tackle various issues including increasing public health funding, high prevalence of binge drinking and high geographic disparity within the state. The state of North Dakota, having the population of more than six hundred and twelve thousand residents, offers both private-market and public health insurance alternatives. The private-market health insurance comprises of numerous types of health plans including family, Medicare supplemental, short-term, student, group and dental. Additionally, the state and federal government sponsored programs provide low-priced health coverage to the uninsurable residents of North Dakota who meet specific eligibility requirements.
The North Dakota Insurance Department regulates all types of insurance sold in the state including health insurance policies offered by private-market health insurers or public health coverage programs. However, approximately 11.2% of the population remains uninsured, which is the top priority for the North Dakota government. According to the Censor Bureau's 2007 and 2008 Current Population Survey, approximately 34.6% of North Dakota residents under the above 200% FPL category continue to live in the state without any kind of health insurance.
Health insurance is important for the security of your health and finances. Therefore, your best interests remain in taking professional help from a licensed health insurance agent/broker to avail the benefits of appropriate health insurance coverage.

Orion Lyrics - Kathy Mar
I saw a falling star come down
It flashed across Orion
And in less time than it took to fade
I found that I was cryin?
I was travelling to a last goodbye
Unsure of what to feel
But that teardrop of light
In the winter sky (hold)
Made the whole thing much more real
(and) oh where are you now
When I need you again?
And oh, where did you go?
Time has freed you from the pain
In all the other lives we?ve shared
Our time was even shorter
sponsored linksOf love and life we built a bridge
And music was the mortar
We were travelling in a world of song
Recording what we learned
But the two of us climbed to the mountain?s peak
And yet only one returned
So now I say a last farewell
And head out toward Orion
There are places in the heart of me
That feel like they are dyin?
We are travelling on the wheel of life
Unsure of who we are
But I?ll know you next time
By your eyes that shine
With the light of that distant star
Words and music: Kathy Mar

"It's January, so this also means we're starting to hear the first faint rushing of the annual spring flood of baseball books. Ordinarily, I make it a rule to run for high ground until the wave passes and begins to recede. However, this year, there are two that intrigue me. The first is by Ed Achorn, who wrote a great book about Charles (Old Hoss) Radbourn a couple of years back. This one's about the completely lunatic Chris von der Ahe, a St. Louis brewer who founded an entire league for the purpose of selling booze and succeeded so wildly that, very often, his players were more sockless than the fans in the stands were."
—Charles P. Pierce on The Summer of Beer and Whiskey, in Esquire
