The Iconic U.N. Headquarters Makeover
Planned for completion in 2014, the iconic United Nations Headquarters (UNHQ) is in the middle of a $1.876 billion refurbishment project, known as the Capital Master Plan, which seeks to update the aging building with a more safe, modern and sustainable work environment. Located on the 18-acre site that was donated by John D. Rockefeller in the 1950s, the Manhattan UNHQ was designed by an international team of eleven architects who worked together in a post-World War II world to create an landmark building through collaboration rather than competition.

In Defense of Introverts
So far, I've cited the merits of the playground – the loudest, craziest, most running-aroundiest environment for kids you can imagine – as a point of inspiration for school design.
I've espoused the potential of community-oriented schools to motivate learning and, somewhat grandiosely I'll admit, change the world.
I think I've uncovered a bias. In me, and in architecture at large.
For years, Western culture has valued and rewarded natural born extroverts in its effort to breed out-going, sociable, go-get-'em type citizens. (For two intelligent, chuckle-inducing narratives on the plight of the introvert, check out Jonathan Rauch's touchstone piece in The Atlantic and Susan Cain's fabulous TED Talk).
In my zeal to present solutions to the obstacles facing education, I too got caught in the trap. To rectify this situation, I will – once again – examine schools; but this time, I take a more balanced approach. Today I take into account that bullied, forgotten group: introverts.

Update: Rio 2016 Golf / Gil Hanse
Rio de Janeiro will be bustling with activity very quickly, beginning with the World Cup in 2012 to the Summer Olympics in 2016. Earlier, we shared AECOM's winning master plan for the complex and it was recently announced that American golf architect Gil Hanse was chosen as the designer for the Rio 2016 Course. Hanse's work has included major courses scattered around the country, from Boston to LA, and now he is bringing his talent to South America. This Olympics will mark the first time golf has been an official sport since the 1904 Games in St. Louis, and thus, Hanse has his work cut out for him in designing not only a top course, but also the first of its kind for such an event. After ousting Jack Nicklaus and Annika Sorenstam for the job, Hanse will team with pro-golfer Amy Alcott to design the course in the Barra da Tijuca part of Rio. "We will strive to produce a course that will maximize the benefits of the site while creating an identity that is in keeping with the natural terrain, vegetation and wildlife indigenous to what we believe will be transformed into a "picturesque" landscape which will make the people of Rio proud," explained Hanse.

Museum of Contemporary Art of Vojvodina Proposal / Đordje Alfirević & Ana Čarapić
Architects Đordje Alfirević and Ana Čarapić shared with us their proposal for the Museum of Contemporary Art of Vojvodina. As a response to the site conditions, their design is positioned in the center of a park with a uniformed impact on the surroundings from every direction. The circular form establishes a gentle dialog with the environment by means of creating an illusion of neutral form that continuously pulls back, yet on the other hand its compact and abstract volume makes a distinctive and strong landmark.

Electric Baseboard Wiring Question
I'm finishing my basment and I'm wring electric baseboard heat. I will have a 8ft 2000Watt heater in 2 rooms, each room will have a thermostate.
Can I wire these in parallel so I can save a breaker space? Or do I need to have 2 fuses?
If it's 240 volts, and you want to put them on the same circuit, you'll need a 30 amp, 2 pole circuit with 10/2 wire.

I will be traveling near Ellijay, Georgia in October, coinciding with the apple harvest there. From past experience, I know the fresh cider they press at some of the orchards is very good and unpasteurized, unless they have changed practices in the last few years. I'd like to make some hard cider with some, but I'd either have to buy the juice there (in gallon milk jugs) and transport it back to Oklahoma in a cooler, which would mean I couldn't start the ferment for a few days after it's pressed; or take my brew bucket, yeast and other equipment with me to Georgia and start the ferment at my sister's house, then carry it back here while it's still fermenting.
I've never made hard cider before, but have made a few batches of beer & wine thus far. I need pros/cons and advice, please. Any help/advice/comments are most welcome.
I've heard they make good cider up in Ellijay. As far as transporting it, I would ask them if they add ascorbic acid (vitamin C) to the product, if they don't I would add some before transport to prevent browning/oxidation. You should also go ahead and add the sulfite and cap the containers to kill the wild yeast and bacteria so it doesn't start fermenting until you get it home.
As far as making hard cider from fresh juice, I haven't done it, but someone else who has should chime in.
Get a couple of those $2.99 styrofoam coolers & a couple of bungee cords. You should be able to fit 3, maybe 4 gallon jugs in each one, pour in the ice, put the lid on & secure it with the bungee cord. Should work well enough as long as you keep pouring off the meltwater & replacing the ice. I've used the same system for camping & it works great with steaks, shrimp & beer. Though a bigger, better, rigid plastic cooler works better. Replace the ice at least once each day, more if you think it needs it. Really no difference between the cooler & the refrigerator if you're talking only 3 or 4 days. Regards, GF.
Ok thanks. Sounds like that's a viable solution then.
There shouldn't be any problems transporting the juice. Fill each container right to the top and add some sulphite, camden tablets is the most convenient source. Fresh juice should have a SG of around 1.05 - 1.06. Many on this forum would add dextrose to up the OG and alcohol but I would advocate just fermenting the juice for a traditional cider. Juice from the shop is treated, diluted, mixed with concentrate, pasteurised etc. fresh pressed juice is quite a different thing and makes a delicious cider by itself. Be sure to rehydrate the yeast and ferment at a good steady temperature. The main issue is sweetness. I like mine dry but most commercial ciders are sweetened a bit even when called "dry" so it takes getting used to. Cider from fresh juice has a lovely appley taste which makes up for the lack of sweetness IMHO.
The containers are sealed plastic gallon milk jugs with the tear-away strip to unseal it (remembering from the last time I bought some at Penland's Apple House). So if I added anything, I'd have to unseal each jug first, and that in itself would make it more risky to transport, I would think.
If they are already sealed they probably have preservative (sulphite) added so transport shouldn't be a problem. Raw juice will start fermenting within a couple of days so couldn't be sold in sealed containers. If it is fresh pressed it should be cloudy and noticeably sweeter than commercial juice. Keeping it cool as already advised would be a good idea.
Just wanted you to know that we have to pasturize the cider now. We use flash pasturization to try to keep the flavor. I own the apple market (Panorama Orchards) across from Penlands. We do freeze it so people can take it with them out of state. It takes 2 days to thaw. If you put frozen cider in an iced styrofoam cooler it will be ok for over a week. We do not add any perservative to it FYI.

Peace campaigners have uncovered the story of a man who survived the death penalty after refusing to fight in the First World War.
The Peace Pledge Union (PPU), Britain's oldest non-sectarian pacifist organisation, is working to bring untold stories of conscientious objectors to light during the war's centenary.
One story they have unearthed is that of Henry [Harry] Scullard, (1890-1964), a conscientious objector who lived in Warwick Road, near Sutton Grammar School.
The Government introduced conscription for the first time in 1916 and those who felt it was wrong to participate in the war faced the imprisonment, hard labour, torture and even the threat of execution.
Harry Scullard, an insurance clerk from Sutton, faced all of this and survived. He was a Congregationalist with a religious objection to taking life.
His application to be exempt from military service was refused at a tribunal hearing and he was arrested, fined and sent to the military in France where he was told refusal to obey an order was a crime punishable by death.
Harry underwent punishments including the dreaded Field Punishment Number One where he was tied with his arms outstretched to a barbed wire fence and left outside for 28 days.
In June 1916 he was told he would be faced with the death penalty unless he decided to fight in the war. He refused and a few days later his sentence was read out to him: "The accused were tried by Field General Court-Martial, had been found guilty and sentenced to death.
"The sentence has been confirmed by Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig and commuted to ten years penal servitude."
Fortunately for Harry political pressure from supporters back in England had led the Government to denounce military punishments and the army backed away from shooting men most considered to be civilians.
Harry was sent to Winchester Prison in England before being moved to a work camp where he remained until after the end of the war in 1919.
It is thought he married in 1920 to a woman called Gwen Stevens and had a daughter.
PPU's work on Scullard is part of their Objecting to War project which aims to bring the stories of London men into the light after being forgotten for so long.
Ben Copsey, Objecting to War project manager, said: "Harry's story shows the remarkable strength and determination needed to be a conscientious objector.
"It shows how difficult it was to stick to your principles in the First World War and refuse to fight in what many believed was a pointless slaughter."

"These budgets are political statements. You cannot have policy without them," said Rick Smith of the Florida Public Services Union. Today, Smith was the last of three speakers with the PBR to discuss the organization's priorities in front of City Hall in downtown St. Pete. Smith said the biggest voting day of the year won't be on Nov. 5 — when registered voters choose their mayoral and city council candidates — but on Sept. 26, the night that the City Council will vote on a final budget for 2014.
Here are the three policy positions that the PBR are calling for:
1. Provide $100,000 to reduce youth unemployment by expanding the Public Works Academy in order to prepare youth for vacancies in the public sector resulting from an aging workforce.
2. Provide $100,000 to help fund the preliminary steps of the 2020 plan, which is aimed at reducing poverty in South St. Petersburg by 30% in 7 years.
3. Provide $250,000 for the new Sustainable Community Projects Program, designed to empower residents to directly enhance the economy, environment, and equality of their neighborhoods
Cathy Harrelson with the Gulf Restoration Network blasted the budget proposal laid out by Mayor Foster, which she said embodies the status quo. She said with increasing costs for energy, rising sea levels, and an increase in the poverty rate, the times don't call for a status quo budget.
"This isn't the future we want, and the problem with the status quo is that it doesn't commit to an investment in St. Petersburg, because the status quo isn't where opportunities lie. Opportunities lie in change," Harrelson added.
In a policy paper that the PBR released to the media, the mayor and the city council today, the coalition offers specific suggestions as to where the city could find more revenue to pay for the programs it desires. Those ideas include taxing the city's municipal utilities "fully and fairly." By that they mean that St. Pete has chosen to tax only the "unencumbered, undepreciated value of the tangible assets held by the Stormwater, Water Resources and Sanitation utilities." PBR said adding those taxes would increase the General Fund by $2.2 million.
Other suggestions include eliminating the General Fund subsidy to the Port and Marina, using excess cash reserves to pay down the debt, and liquidating the prior year encumbrances. To read all of the coalition's goals, visit its website.
Smith said the group is non-partisan and isn't supporting any particular candidates in this November's election. However, Darden Rice, who is running for City Council in District 4 against Carolyn Fries, has been a core member of the group.
The People's Budget Review consists of members from SEIU Florida Public Services Union, the League of Women Voters, Council of Neighborhood Associations (CONA), Agenda 2010 and Beyond, NAACP, Awake Pinellas, Suncoast Sierra Club, St. Pete Polls, as well as local business leaders and activists.

Many thanks to reporter Mitch Perry and Creative Loafing/Daily Loaf for covering this important event. At least one good news organization is reporting this important story. Sadly People's Budget Review gets no coverage from the Tampa Bay Times on this in spite of the coalition's great successes last year, when City of St Pete contemplated early closure of libraries and parks in the face of deep budget shortfalls. That time PBR proved it was safe for the mayor and council members to raise property taxes a fraction enough to keep parks and libraries open in 2013, and so they did!
Oddly, in spite of that success last year, editors at the TB Times don't think PBR's 2014 proposals are important enough to report to the public. But no problem-- PBR isn't going anywhere, (unlike the ever diminishing TB Times) and the coalition's proposals will be heard in City Hall this year, and citizens will make their wishes known without the help of the SP Times... just like last year.

Regulatory News:
Cegedim, a technology and services company specializing in the healthcare field, posted consolidated Q3 2012 revenues of €207.6 million, up 5.4% on a reported basis and 1.4% like for like.
Following a second quarter during which economic conditions deteriorated in a number of developed countries and clients put off making decisions, like-for-like* revenues returned to growth in the third quarter even though tough conditions persisted.
Cegedim remains confident in its growth potential because its product portfolio meets the needs of a wide variety of markets. In particular, Cegedim's rich and varied offering fits healthcare players' demand for "Digital" products and services. Cegedim has become a significant force in the digital field: in the CRM and strategic data sector, with interactive CRM offerings across multiple mobile devices; in the Healthcare professionals sector, with software solutions and drug databases available on the web and tablet computers, and new solutions that help companies market to patients and doctors; and in the Insurance and Services sector, with the creation of online policyholder benefits verification for the electronic reimbursement platform in France.
Last August, Cegedim decided to renew the Performance Improvement Plan it launched in November 2011. All of the costs of the second plan will be recorded in the second half of 2012, and a gross impact of more than €10 million is expected in 2013. Along with revenue growth, this plan is expected to boost the Group's operating cash flow, making it possible to speed up debt reduction. Lastly, the Group believes it will have an adequate level of liquidity to respect its financial commitments.
- The change in revenues per sector of activity for the third quarter is as follows:
|€ thousands
|CRM and strategic data
|Healthcare professionals
|Insurance and services
*at constant scope and exchange rates
Like-for-like* revenue growth in the third quarter of 2012 came to 1.4% relative to the same period in 2011. The drop in CRM and strategic data sector revenues was more than offset by the strong growth in the Healthcare professionals and Insurance and Services sectors. The positive impact of the ASP Line acquisition was offset by the sale of Pharmapost, resulting in a net positive contribution to revenues of 0.4%. Currencies made a positive contribution of 3.6%.
- The change in revenues per sector of activity over nine months is as follows:

*at constant scope and exchange rates
Like-for-like* revenue growth over the first nine months of 2012 came to -1.5% relative to the same period in 2011. The drop in CRM and strategic data sector revenues was only partly offset by growth in the Healthcare professionals and Insurance and Services sectors. Acquisitions had no impact on revenue growth, as the impact of the ASP Line acquisition was offset by that of the Pharmapost sale. Currencies made a positive contribution of 2.3%.
Analysis of business trends by sector
- CRM and strategic data
Third quarter 2012 revenues came to €111.1 million, down 0.8% on a reported basis. Currencies made a positive contribution of 4.7%. The sale of Pharmapost made a negative contribution of 1.1%. Like-for-like* revenues fell 4.3% over the period.
Sector revenues over the first nine months of 2012 came to €348.3 million, down 3.6% on a reported basis. The sale of Pharmapost had a negative impact of 0.7%, whereas currencies had a positive impact of 3.0%. Like-for-like* revenues fell 5.9% over the period.
In mature markets, even though pharmaceutical companies' continued belt-tightening was a drag on the market research business in the third quarter, the number of CRM solution users is leveling off, and in some countries even increasing. The stabilization of the situation in Italy and Spain in the third quarter is worth noting. On the other hand, Greece and Portugal remain mired in difficulties. The strong growth at SK&A since the start of the year reflects the success of OneKey in the US. SK&A is a California-based company acquired in January 2010 to strengthen the healthcare professional database offering in the US.
The Group benefited greatly from growth in emerging countries, with fine performances in – among others – Latin and Central America (double-digit growth), and a ramp-up in market research in China.
Cegedim continues its tireless innovation, particularly in digital products and services. Most notably, the new range of CRM products for tablets MI Touch (IOS 6 and Windows 8) offer native integration of functions that create interactive presentations from the digital information generated by healthcare industries. Note that the Group has the first CRM solution that is 100% compatible with tablets running Windows 8. The Group also has specific digital offerings such as ScreenPub that help healthcare companies reach healthcare professionals via their computer screens.
- Healthcare professionals
In the third quarter of 2012, sector revenues came to €62.6 million, up 16.6% on a reported basis. The ASP Line acquisition boosted revenues by 3.9% over the quarter. Currencies had a positive impact of 3.4%. Like-for-like* revenues rose 9.2% over the period.
Over the first nine months of 2012, sector revenues came to €205.8 million, up 6.1% on a reported basis. The ASP Line and Pharmec acquisitions had a positive impact on revenues of 1.3%, and currencies, a positive impact of 2.0%. Like-for-like* revenues rose 2.8% over the period.
The CHS (Cegedim Healthcare Software) division experienced strong growth in the third quarter after a stable first half. This renewed activity was driven principally by strong growth in products for UK pharmacists following their swift adoption of the Electronic Prescription Service (EPS). Last autumn, after investing in innovative development for the past few years, Cegedim earned the first EPS certification granted by UK health authorities. The division also benefited from growth in sales to pharmacists in France and the growth of US software publisher Pulse.
Point-of-sale advertising in pharmacies and parapharmacies, with RNP, experienced double-digit growth in the third quarter after a tough first half, demonstrating the judiciousness of the business' reorganization and investment in digital media.
Lastly, the financial lease company, Cegelease, continued to post brisk growth in the third quarter, just as it did over the first six months of the year.
In this sector, the Group also innovates with new digital offerings including:
- Drug information solutions for consumers, available over the internet (infos-medicaments.com) and on the iPhone (iMediguide); the latter also helps users match brand-name drugs with their generic equivalents.
- A comprehensive medical practice management solution for tablet computer (Simply Vitale) and a full web solution for healthcare professionals (monLogicielMedical.com).
- Solutions allowing healthcare companies to communicate digitally with patients inside pharmacies, personalized by point of sale (Clip Santé), or outside with giant video screens (RNP digital offering).
- Insurance and services
Sector revenues in the third quarter of 2012 came to €33.8 million, up 8.0% both on a reported basis and like for like.
Over the first nine months of 2012, sector revenues came to €106.8 million up 6.3% both on a reported basis and like for like.
The pick-up in activity noted in July continued throughout the quarter. Thus, revenue growth is back in line with the pace set in Q4 2011 and Q1 2012 following a second quarter in which growth was only up 2.4%.
Growth was principally driven by the double-digit increase in revenue from online third-party payer management services, and the more than 30% growth in Q3 of SRH in France, which provides payroll and HR management outsourcing. Cegedim SRH continues to garner numerous commercial successes.
In this sector, the Group is also very well positioned on online offerings, including the planned launch in 2013 – after a favorable test phase involving 6,000 pharmacies – of 100% secure online verification of complementary health insurance benefits, including real-time reimbursement calculation (Visiodroit).
Financial resources – Third quarter highlights
- Acquisition
On July 3, 2012, Cegedim completed the acquisition of ASP Line, France's fourth-largest publisher of pharmacist software, serving more than 1,300 pharmacies present around the country, thus strengthening Cegedim's leadership position in the pharmacy computerization market in France (see release sent on July 3, 2012). Generating synergies with other Group activities, this acquisition brings with it significant development potential for the years ahead.
Financed by internal financing, these activities represent annual revenues of around €9 million and are part of the consolidation scope of Cegedim Group from July 1, 2012.
- Award
On September 26, Cegedim received the "Mid Cap Corporate Governance" award, sponsored by L'AGEFI, in recognition of the quality of the transparency and governance practices that the Group has adopted.
Significant post-closing transactions and events
- Readjustment of bank covenants
On October 3, Cegedim obtained the consent of its banking partners (Banc of America, Banque Palatine, BNP Paribas, BRED Banque Populaire, Caisse Régionale de Crédit Agricole Mutuel Centre Loire, CIC, Crédit Lyonnais, HSBC France, Société Générale) under the credit facility to amend certain covenants thereunder. This consent signals the continued confidence of our banking partners in the Group (see release sent on October 3, 2012).
Cegedim, which was in compliance with its covenants under the credit facility as of June 30, 2012, has agreed additional headroom under its leverage and interest cover financial covenants as set out in the following table.
|December 31, 2012
|June 30, 2013
|December 31, 2013
|June 30, 2014
|December 31, 2014
|June 30, 2015
|December 31, 2015
In relation to these changes, Cegedim has agreed to change the applicable margins under the credit facilities as follows:
|Leverage Ratio
|Margin (% p.a.)
|Term Loan
|≤ 3.60 and > 3.00
|≤ 3.00 and > 2.50
|≤ 2.50 and > 2.00
|≤ 2.00
Cegedim has also agreed to:
- No dividend while the Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.50;
- Reduce permitted Joint Ventures from €200 million to €50 million;
- Limit acquisitions to €5 million per fiscal year while the Leverage Ratio is greater than 3.00;
- Limit acquisitions to €25 million per fiscal year while the Leverage Ratio is between 2.00 and 3.00;
- Limit the shareholder loan payments to a cumulative amount of €5m as long as the Leverage Ratio is greater than 2.00. Total repayment is possible as long as the Leverage Ratio is less than 2.00.
To the best of the company's knowledge, there have been no other significant events since the closing date.
2012 outlook
In a tough environment, the Group remains confident in its growth potential, while continuing to prioritize innovation, deleveraging and its Performance Improvement Program.
Despite a satisfactory performance in Q3 2012, the Group prefers to remain cautious and therefore confirming that it expects a slight increase in revenue in 2012 combined with a very slight decrease of its EBITDA compared to 2011. The Group also confirms that it has no plans to make further acquisitions by the end of the year.

Year Zero by Michael Golamco
Presented by Merrimack Repertory Theatre
September 11 - October 5, 2014
Divided between two worlds, all teenagers need someone to talk to. Vuthy has chosen a skull. He is a young Cambodian-American struggling to find his place – in a community that doesn't truly accept him and in a family that seems to be disappearing. A comedic drama about finding a direction and a home.

|ESPN: SportsNation
We'll get rolling here in a sec.
Do you think we could see someone like Wilson or Lynn slide back into those safety positions this next season?
Depends on what Jefferson does. If he leaves, I'm sure Mike would like to get someone with experience back there. If Jefferson stays, you could slot someone in like freshman Hatari Byrd and be fine.
Odds Millard, Stills, and Tony J leave?
Pretty decent. I think it's better than 50/50 that Jefferson and Stills leave. I have heard that Millard is thinking really hard about leaving, too.
John Michael McGee has been in touch with OU coaches, and now looks like he's headed to Henderson State in Arkansas. Would OU take him back if he was available and the team was on board?
Up to Stoops.
Jake, does the mens team make the Tourney or NIT?
I'll stand by my preseason prediction of NIT.
Should Sooner fans be expecting good news soon from Adrian Baker after he decommmited from the Noles?
I would be reasonably optimistic. Mike Stoops' track record with DBs should be very attractive to someone like Baker.
Happy Holidays Jake...any rumblings about any of the asst. coaches going somewhere else???? Did Heupel turn down La Tech??? Norvell is the one I'm hearing because he wants to call plays....Wisconsin perhaps???
I know that report was out there, but I never was told that Heupel turned down La Tech. CBS reported that the OU assistant that interviewed was actually Cale Gundy. So who knows? Norvell was always the most likely to leave because he does want to call plays, and if a program like Wisconsin came calling, he'd have a hard time turning that down.
any word if jalen saunders will be playing in the cotton bowl?
Stoops will be addressing it during tomorrow's press conference.
Do you believe OU has lost their elite status with regards to recruiting? 6 juco players in last year's class and a noticeable drop off in 'starred' talent this year. I know that recruiting is a gamble on potential talent, but why doesn't OU get those 5 star players, like a USC or Alabama?
OU has top 10 classes virtually every year, and doesn't have a beach to recruit to like Miami or USC or a homegrown base like Ohio State or Texas or even Alabama. Admittedly, this has not been a great class, but it's not horrible, either. I don't buy into the fact that OU has lost its elite status based on one subpar recruiting class. OU has gotten plenty of 5-star players in the past and will continue to pick their spots in the future (they hosted a 5-star WR this weekend for crying out loud).
I keep hearing Milliard is eyeing the NFL a little more than i was lead on, any truth from your standpoint? Comfortable with Rip as full time fb? or should coaches be scrambling on the recruiting trail?
I am hearing the same. That would be a devastating loss for the offense, bigger than Kenny Stills potentially in my opinion. Rip is a nice blocker, but he can't do the things that Millard can.
Got your book, got one for my father this christmas also. Thought it was a really good read, What was your inspiration for the OU/Texas series and have you had this idea for a while?
Thanks, Cliff. The general idea was the publisher's, the details and construction of the book were mine... Amazingly, no one had ever written an OU-Texas book from the OU side of the rivalry. Glad you enjoyed it, and hope your dad does, too.
Who's your guess on who are the starting receivers in 2013?
Metoyer, Neal, Saunders, Shepard.
I read somewhere that walk-ons David Driscoll (DE) and Caleb Gastelum (LB) were named scout-team defensive players of the year. We are going to be super thin in nearly every defensive position. Are these two players that can actually help us out next season similarly to Dom Whaley in the early part of the 2011 season?
Both guys have actually appeared on the depth charts before (David at FB, Gastelum at LB). The way the defense is going with speed over all else, that probably hurts both players' chances. Sooners actually have options at LB/DE... now if either played safety...
Jake what recruit committed to the I-State's and Memphis of the worlds we steal next?
If Stills, Jefferson and Millard leave, on a scale of 1-10, how worried will you be for next season?
People said the same in '07, when Curtis Lofton, Reggie Smith and Malcolm Kelly all bolted early. And then OU played for the national championship. The Sooners are better with Millard, Stills, Jefferson than without. But the Sooners have enough talent in the system to overcome the loss of any one player.
Can Chuka Ndule and Geneo Grissom be the kind of DE that David King and R.J. Washington were in 2012. That is to say, players that were not dominant but did a decent job of holding their own, well for the most part.

No question. King had some versatility that the other guys don't really have, but it's not like OU overwhelmed people at DE this season. Sooners have a lot of young talent at DE with Ward, Dimon, Tapper, Onouha.
Expect any good news this week in terms of recruiting?
Jake, I can certainly understand Tony Jefferson leaving early. He should be a hot commodity. Trey Millard had a good year and his stock is not going to get any better next year. But why would Kenny Stills leave early? He had a good year but there are about 4 WR in the big 12 alone that are considered better.
With a new QB and possibly a new system next year, it's possible that Stills' production goes down next season. He's had a really good junior year, and he may think the time is now to capitalize off it.
Without Millard and any reliable TE's, what will the offense look like?
Good question. If Bell is the QB, you'd think they'd want to retain some power element to the attack. I really don't know. Will depend on a number of factors.
Treadwell do we have a chance?
Im hearing people saying were no longer elite. What do you make of this? I feel like 3 out of our last 3 bowls we have won and its been forgotten.
If OU isn't elite, who is? Alabama and nobody else?
When was the last time a team faced the three Heisman finalists in the same season?
I will try to find the answer to that question. Promise.
What's your prediction on OU's record next year? I see OU getting dominated by ND again unfortunately... but other than that...?
Early bird prediction? 10-2 again.
How do you see Blake Bell fitting into the offense next season after the past couple seasons? And what about the Belldozer package? With Jones leaving, I think it's safe to say that a good chunk of Sooner nation is a bit leery about what next year brings.
I think the offense will resemble some combination of the Belldozer and the Landry Jones offense. More QB run game, but still plenty of four WR sets.
We have sold out every game since Stoops has been there. Is there talk of seating expansion? Seems it would be easy to fill in those two open corners...
You must not have been there last Thanksgiving for the Iowa State game.
What are the chances that OU gets Treadwell, Adrian Baker?
Actually, pretty good, I think. Treadwell seemed to have had a good time this weekend, and Baker has already announced he's decommitted from Florida State and will probably end up deciding between Clemson and OU. Sooners are firmly in the mix on both.
Are you kidding me Jake? Did you not get the memo? OU just lost a commit to Tulsa. You guys have to get on the program and stop sugar coating things.
You're right. They should fire Stoops and start from scratch.
Why not get Knight experience...start him..and keep the Belldozer in tact? Seems like Knight's ceiling is higher than Bell's
Trust me, that's not an unthinkable possibility. People within the program are fired up about Knight.
Any current freshman or commits capable of making an impact next year on defense? Hear good things about Striker.
Gary Simon has a chance to start at CB. Tapper and Onuoha could play some at end, too. Zack Sanchez could factor in at NB or DB, especially if Wilson or Lynn gets moved to back safety.
Can OU win the National Championship next season? I really can't see us beating a Bama...
They could, but I'm not picking them.
Mr. Trotter! Merry Christmas to you and all the little trotters.
No little Trotters yet.
Does that 10-2 record come with a conference championship and a BCS bowl? If it does not, it will be considered an utter failure.
It could. I penciling in losses at South Bend and Stillwater. That might be enough to win the Big 12. I think OU will have the best team in the Big 12 next season, but the schedule favors OSU.
Not just based on recruiting, what do you make of people saying the A&M game is a "must win" to keep an elite status. Am i just a homer or is OU an elite program reguardless?
People will forget about the Cotton Bowl by March. Win or lose, OU will continue to be OU. You don't lose a reputation built on 70 years with one loss.
Jake, does a win in the Cotton Bowl against A&M help our recruiting, and could it help jumpstart the 2013 season?
A win would help blunt some of A&M's momentum, and could give the Sooners some momentum heading into the offseason. Then again, OU got blasted in the 2007 Fiesta Bowl, then turned around and advanced to the '08 title game. I've learned not to place too much emphasis in a bowl game.
who do you give the edge for the qb job next year
Bell. The job is his to lose.
Although Norman does not have the "Big City" and/or "beaches" that some of the other Top recruiting schools have, I would have to think our facilities and NFL pipeline history would be second to very few, and a huge plus when recruiting 5 Stars. Why not more success? College Station and Austin are no glamour spots either!!!
College Station and Austin are in the same state as the best high school talent in the country. That's a big advantage. And while OU's facilities are great, they're no better than OSU's, Texas' or A&M's.
Jake, am i sicker than you ever thought I was entering this season? And do I get robbed for MVP and CPOY honors by Brady, and the greatest "regular season" QB ever?
I had Adrian Peterson on my fantasy team LAST year, and decided not to keep him because of how bad he was. Slight mistake.
When does Texas move on from Mack? Or do you think he sets the timetable?
Another mediocre season might do it. Next year is big for Mack.
Next Commit to Oklahoma is?
Could be juco TE Emmanuel Bibbs
Starting DT's next year? Is that what holds us back?
Starting safeties and starting LBs are big questions, as well... starting QB, too.
give us your cotton bowl score prediction.......
What is your personal prediction for the cotton bowl? Do you think the Sooners will pull out a win?
Will wait for the game to get closer before giving my prediction. Leaning A&M, though.
What do you make of Mike Gundy not wanting to schedule SUPER POWERS like Arizona and Mississippi St?
Thought it was pretty weak. Beating Savannah St is not going to elevate OSU's program.
The "we lost a commit to Tulsa" is so overblown. The kid wants to play DE and he's an OL if he went to OU.
Jake, enough about the "Elite" questions, OU "finally" got a DT commit so does this mean that the big month of December for recruiting is slowly gaining some steam? Also how many JUCO player do you see OU signing and is Q. Russel one of them?
My guess would be that Russell goes to Nebraska. Maybe OU can snag him. But I favor the Huskers in that battle.
Does Kendall Thompson get a chance to be starting QB?
Next year? Longshot.
Jake, what sooner player has surprised you most this year?
That's an interesting question. No one player has surprised me, however, the way the offensive line has been able to overcome its rash of injuries has been surprising. Shead, Irwin, Ikard, Lane... those are tough dudes.
How well do you think the OU defense will be next year? They lose quite a bit of experience along the D-line, corner and safety. Or, will another with with Mike Stoops makes a difference?
I don't think the Sooners will be horrible, but I have a hard time seeing OU fielding an elite defense, especially without Jefferson. The d-line won't be dominant, and Colvin, would be the only elite player in the secondary.
who's a bigger threat next year? OSU or TCU
OSU, because the Sooners have to play in Stillwater (OSU also gets TCU at home). TCU has to go to Norman and Stillwater.
With the change of defensive philosophy and the losses coming on the offensive side of the ball, it look like we may be down for the next year or two but then we will be back pretty strong. What is your take on this?
Maybe, but OU could very easily be strong next year if Bell fulfills some of his potential. The problem is the schedule. Sooners figure to be underdogs in South Bend and Stillwater.
What is you take on how OU can defend Manziel?
Can't allow him to scramble for big gains. If that means holding up on the blitzes, so be it. He's killed defenses with his wheels. OU has to negate that and make him beat the defense with his arm.
What bowl game are you personally most excited for?
The three best games are the title game, Fiesta Bowl and Cotton Bowl.
I know it's early, but if you had to guess what does our starting D look like next year? Especially along the line and secondary.
DE: Grissom, Chuka; DT: Phillips, who knows; LB: Shannon, Nelson; CB: Colvin, Simon/Cortez; NB: Wilson; S: Lynn, Byrd.
Jake, if TJ goes pro, does Gabe Lynn slide over to FS? I see him struggling there. He hits hard but doesnt always wrap up.
Possible. They like Lynn at nickelback, and I'm not sure if he's a fit at back safety. But someone is going to have to play there, and if Jefferson leaves, they don't seem to have a lot of options.
Jake, Rank these four programs in terms of success in the next four years: Oklahoma, Oklahoma St, Texas, Texas A&M
1. OU2. A&M3. OSU4. Texas
What do you make of the philosophy that a scrambling qb is a tired qb that continues to take hits over a game?
That's why OU doesn't want to go with a full-fledged K-State offense next season.
With OU tinkering with 6 to 7 DB's playing to stop the Big XII offenses, does that pose a risk or disadvantage when playing out of conference games against teams like Notre Dame or teams from other conferences?
The risk is that your run defense becomes vulnerable, as Lache Seastrunk, Tavon Austin and Joe Randle all exposed.
Crazy question. I haven't heard any rumors about this at all..but just wondering if you could ever see Bob Stoops trying to give it a go as a coach in the NFL.
Doubt it. Think he realizes how much of a grind the NFL is. If he wanted to coach in the NFL, wouldn't he already be there? Maybe the Dallas Cowboys make a run at him if they get rid of Garrett. But Stoops has turned down so many other jobs (Notre Dame, Florida, Browns), it's hard to see him leaving at this point.
bama or nd?
But in a nail-biter.
What one recruit is the biggest must get for OU? How many commits will we have on National Signing Day?
Quincy Russell (or Toby Johnson) would be a huge pull because either would have a chance to start right away at a position of need, DT.
I keep hearing that Trevor Knight might give Bell a run for his money next season. Can you offer any insight into each of their ability to run Heupel's offense?
I keep hearing the same. The staff really likes the total package Knight brings, accuracy, mobility, poise, leadership... Bell is a big-time talent, too, with a big arm.
Does OU need to priortize Texas first and foremost, and pursue a few top prospects out of state? Especially now, with TAMU emerging as recruiting power more than ever in the SEC? Seems like their priority/focus has not been the same as it use to be, your thoughts?
Sooners have definitely gone with a more national approach. Maybe they feel the competition in Texas getting tighter. I don't have a problem with it. The wider the net, the bigger the pool of players to chase.
Jake, in regards to recruiting, if OU signs Treadwell and a couple DTs and then like the last few years steal a couple on signing day, doesnt this class reach around the 10-15 range if not a little higher
Yeah, I think so, and the chances of that happening aren't unfathomable.
Do you expect Blake Bell to surprise everyone next season and end up having a great, accurate arm? Also, do you think Adrian Peterson will break the NFL record for most rushing yards?
Bell has a decent chance of being the All-Big 12 QB next season... yes, I think AD breaks the record.
Isnt it funny that earlier this year OU fans were clamoring for Bell over LJ, now Bell is being replaced by Trevor Knight
The backup QB in Norman is always a superstar.
How would you grade Tony Jefferson if he enters the draft after this season?
I think he's a top-three round pick, at worst.
Guys, that's all the time we've got today. Check out SoonerNation throughout the week, as we'll be following OU's bowl prep... We'll be doing the chat again next Monday, same time, same place... Until then, have a great week.

On Sunday 16th November we participated in the New Forest Wedding Showcase along with 20 other hotels in the New Forest.
Three of our function rooms were set up beautifully for newly engaged couples to attend to view example set ups for their possible wedding day with us.
Thank you to Jo from Jo Hicks Flowers for providing a range of gorgeous table centre pieces, all of which received a lot of compliments with the tall vase, floating tea lights and orchid receiving the most!

We know it's early but we have our first Christmas Party tomorrow - one of our earliest celebrations to date - Friday 14th November!
In order to prepare, our first Christmas tree has gone up! Ellena from the Sales team and Slavo our Conference and Banqueting manger have had some fun today assembling the tree and adorning the lights - luckily both are quite tall so could reach the top with the help of chair!
