Janice Anderson
Singer Janice Anderson can be described as Ella rafting down a dizzy scat riff, Doris Day crooning praises for the joy of the everyday, and Astrud Gilberto whispering crooked tones through the wet Brazilian summer. A dedicated artist, she is in turn dedicated to the art of others, which led her to found Jazz Vespers in Santa Monica in 2003. Anderson has performed with such jazz notables as Clare Fischer, Bob Sheppard, Anthony Wilson, and Joe LaBarbera and at venues as diverse as the Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Beach, Pasadena Playboy Jazz Festival, and the legendary Hermosa Beach Lighthouse.

"The harder you work, the luckier you get."
Gary Player
Below is the poem entitled Only a Memory which was written by poet
Hilliker. Please feel free to comment on this poem. However, please remember, PoetrySoup is a place of encouragement and growth.
Read Poems by
Kim Hilliker
He was the most beautiful man I've ever met,
but it's time now to move on.
I thought there was a connection,
but I now know I was wrong.
Just another female in all his escapades…
I accepted my part in the choices that I made.
Despite his rejections, I continued to stay in touch.
It was naïve of me to ever care so much.
Our time taught me patience and made me a little stronger,
but I'm done learning lessons, I'm a student no longer.
Next time, I'll be different; for, I won't try so very hard
Rather than pursue an interest, I'll diligently stay on guard.
It's not the most romantic, but it's something I must do
I'll never again feel sadness when a relationship is through.
Still, I'll cherish the sweet moments, although few and long ago….
And, I'll remember his face because I liked it so.
Having played the "friend' card for two years, I am finally free.
That beautiful man is now only a memory.
***Dedicated to JJ 10/6/13

You've had your eye on a girl for a while now, but you can't quite figure out whether she's just always attached to her bestie or whether they're, you know, 'attached'. Turns out you're in luck, friend, 'cause the dynamic duos of Teen BFF are set to light a fire in your loins with lushly photographed hardcore scenes and high-res photo galleries giving you ample ogling opportunity, all courtesy of Porn Pros.
Hosting many of the porn world's most smoking hot barely legal babes (and more than a few in their early 20s), Reality Kings' Pure 18 is a pornographic pleasureland of fresh-faced starlets all eager to make a name for themself in this great American industry. With pigtails, plaid skirts, tight pink pussies, and plenty of teenage attitude, these girls suck and fuck their way into full adulthood in stunning HD videos, right here on Pure 18.
If the "real ex-girlfriends" of Real Ex-Girlfriends were actually real ex-girlfriends of real submitting members of Real Ex-Girlfriends… I'd still be confused. Sure, she's as professional as the next pornstar, but any performer throwing down at Porn Pros' allegedly all-amateur fuck-fest, Real Ex-Girlfriends, isn't about to fall into pornstar posturing. No, she's a convincing (if unfathomably hot) "everyday" girl whose jealous, jilted boyfriend did the dirty on her by sharing their once private, deeply personal recordings with, well, you.
Porn Mastermind sounds like what people call "Porno" Dan Leal behind his back, but in actuality it's a small but promising network hosting eleven hardcore adult websites and the incredibly dirty, downright awesome porn they offer. From the lubed-up young ladies of Fucked Hard 18 to intense European smut at Harmony Vision, from Amateur Allure's close-up POV blowjobs to the anonymous sucking of GloryHole Swallow, Porn Mastermind has plenty to offer and many pretty pornstar packages to wrap its various treat in. Won't you indulge?
They fresh-faced and eager to please. They've either graduated, flunked out, or ditched class for a more entertaining afternoon at home. Whatever their particular situation, they're the horniest "teen" women in porn and they're Fresh Outta High School at this New Sensations site. Bringing together the best scenes from various New Sensations and Digital Sin DVD series - any fans of Schoolgirl POV out there? - Fresh Outta High School is a lively and lusty playground for porn's boldest up 'n cummers. And for you, naturally.

Sure, you could take out egregiously large loans that'll saddle you with debt for the rest of your earthly existence just to engage in a little college-style casual sex, but would it actually result in the kinds of carnal situations seen at College Fuck Parties? I highly doubt it. Why not let these Russian students provide you with sexual entertainment and a vicariously terrific time that'll prove once and for all that college students, even with heavy workloads and the pressures school thrusts upon them, will always find a way to let loose in magnificently sexy fashion.

Fucking a girl with a plump ass and bountiful bosoms is fun, sure, but it really can't compare with pushing your cock inside a tiny-framed, tight-pussied girl. Stuffed Petite is a site that knows this well and if you haven't already converted to banging smaller ladies, you'll soon be seeking them out faster than you can drop your draws and shout "allIwannadoisstuffsomepetitepoontang!". High Definition videos, high-resolution photos, and great production quality (as well as access to the entire My XXX Pass network) makes Stuffed Petites a must-see for all fans of hot little women who love to get well and truly stretched out.
Now that the MILF explosion of the early 2000s has died down a little, it's time for the guys to have a career resurgence. Positioning men in their fifties and sixties as close as possible to eager 18 year-old hotties with a fondness for grizzled old-timers, Jurassic Cock offers hardcore porn that is both colorful and somewhat sedate. The results are always entertaining, though, and couldn't we all learn a thing or two about fucking from one of the legends of the business, Jurassic Cock's very own Ron Jeremy?

Getting a Job on the Computer Won't Work.I know people who have sat down at the computer and spent hours pouring over monster.com, or any of the other myriad of job posting websites out there wanting to get a job, get a job, get a job. any job. Money, yesterday. That's what they need.
So they submit 28 resumes in one day, and then they wait. and wait, and wait. When they don't hear from anyone, they get depressed. What I rarely see anyone do, though, is take action.
If you're really interested in getting a job, you're going to have to meet people. Given that working a job has you interacting with the human race almost daily, I really have a hard time fathoming why when you seek to get a job the idea of--gasp!--speaking with a live person is so daunting.
I guess I do know, really. It's scary. It's an opportunity to be rejected, and much like breaking up with someone over text message, there are times when you just can't handle the rejection, so you let the computer do it for you.
It's easy to delete a "no thank you" email; it's painfully forthright to have to face a person who says "you're not right for this position." and of course, when you submit a resume, that's what you're risking. But hiding behind your piece of paper will not get you the job you need.
You have to put aside what you want today for the thing you want most. and I doubt you really want a job so much as you want a career-something you can enjoy doing every day, and get paid for it.
Dale Callahan talks more about this topic in his article Resumes are Worthless. It isn't really that the resume is not valuable for what it is, but as a society we've let the resume take on an almost imperial type role where we think if we uphold the resume enough that someone that will be the key to success, when in reality it's people who hire people, not paper. So more than a good look on paper, you're going to have to interact with the people in your career.

How to cut management overheads with VDI
On the face of it, a virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) should make desktop operating systems easier to manage. After all, if an organisation's desktops are all on one server, then they should theoretically be easier to reach and manipulate. But can desktop virtualisation really help to relieve the management burden? Hardware …
VDI is many things
VDI, is not remote desktop. It's really a Virtualized Desktop Infrastructure, that is, more like a "shell" that holds applications, the shell and the applications could be coming from almost anywhere. The idea is that the desktop is an abstraction of software that somehow can work together to provide an environment that feels the same as a dedicated OS desktop.
This works well for software that was designed to be multi-user and distributed. Unfortunately, most Windows applications were only designed to handle a single user, single platform mode. This is probably where most of the headaches come in .... and arguably is the biggest hindrance to VDI adoption.
The desktop I'm typing this from is NOT Windows based, nor are the applications. My email client runs on one host and by browser runs on a different host. Yet I can download a file via the browser and attach to email, likewise, I can click a web link in email and it will open up in my browser... this is more like what VDI is meant to be. Seamlessness between disparate applications running on different platforms (and it can change from platform to platform as needed).
So.. VDI is much more than centralized remote desktops... the scope is much much larger.
Biggest issue for me.. multimedia. For that, part of VDI, at least for now, requires a local piece running on the front end, which limits the flexibility of VDI and as mentioned, weakens its security as well. Network introduced too much variable latency preventing most common video formats from working well (you end up with audio/video sync issues, which are too painful for most to accept).

THE TRAILBLAZER: YVON CHOUINARD, founder and owner, Patagonia. If capitalism were a church, Yvon Chouinard, 67, would have been excommunicated as a heretic long ago. Not that it would have bothered the pioneering rugged-wear-maker, who has always been more comfortable on the rock faces of El Capitan than in the boardroom. Nicknamed "the Tiny Terror" by his friend Tom Brokaw, Chouinard approaches his business like a revolutionary, donating 30 percent of his annual salary to activist environmental groups and radicalizing Patagonia's corporate code with a promise to post bail for employees arrested for nonviolent civil disobedience (after receiving protest training) in support of environmental causes. And yet, by keeping up the quality of its products, Patagonia has stayed plenty profitable without losing its soul. It was the first U.S. company to print its catalogue on recycled paper, in 1984, and the first to make fleece jackets using recycled plastic bottles, in 1993. In 2001, Chouinard co-founded 1% for the Planet, an alliance of companies, now numbering more than 235, committed to paying an "earth tax" of at least 1 percent of annual sales to environmental groups, as Patagonia has done since 1986. Let My People Go Surfing, his story of running a pioneering eco-friendly company, was published last fall. For proof that Chouinard worships Henry David Thoreau over Henry Ford, consider this: the best parking places at the company's offices are reserved not for executives but for those driving fuel-efficient cars. Photographed wearing a Patagonia rain shell made entirely from recycled polyester at Grant Park in Ventura, California, by Jonas Karlsson on February 27, 2006.
THE GOVERNORS WHO GET IT: ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER AND GEORGE PATAKI. These two strapping big-state governors have often found themselves at odds with many of their fellow Republicans in making the environment a priority. Arnold Schwarzenegger (left) issued an executive order last year to reduce California's greenhouse-gas emissions by 25 percent by 2020. He has also banned, in his state, the gruesome practice of "Internet hunting," in which people can shoot game-park animals from the comfort of their home computers. His East Coast counterpart, George Pataki, has modeled himself after an earlier conservationist New York governor, Theodore Roosevelt. In 2004, Pataki made a deal with the nation's largest private landowner, International Paper, to protect 257,425 acres of Adirondack timberland and wetlands from development and to open them up to public recreation. Prior to that, he had already preserved more than 500,000 acres. Pataki broke with the Bush administration in leading New York State to adopt the same strict new limits on automobile greenhouse-gas emissions that have been in place in California since 2004—a standard that Schwarzenegger also supports with all his considerable muscle. Saving the earth isn't just for lefties anymore. Schwarzenegger photographed by Jonas Karlsson on the roof of the California E.P.A. Building in Sacramento on February 21, 2006; Pataki photographed by Nigel Parry at Little Stony Point Park in Cold Spring, New York, on March 13, 2006.
THE OILMAN WITH A CONSCIENCE: LORD JOHN BROWNE, C.E.O., British Petroleum. The best chair in the boardroom of the world's second-largest oil company is not where you expect to find a committed environmentalist. But Lord John Browne of Madingley, chief executive of British Petroleum, is exactly that. Soft-spoken and highly regarded, he has vowed to take B.P. "Beyond Petroleum." It is seemingly contradictory, if not somewhat perverse, for an oil giant to place itself at the forefront of efforts to reduce carbon emissions. Old-style environmentalists may convulse at the idea of a "green" oil company, but under Browne, who sits on the board of the influential U.S. group Conservation International, B.P. has pledged to invest $8 billion in solar-, wind-, and hydrogen-energy technologies over the next decade. That's still minute compared with B.P.'s business in traditional oil and gas, but who has better resources, expertise, and incentive to forge our energy future than a profit-driven energy company? Since 1990, B.P. has reduced its greenhouse-gas emissions by 10 percent. Says Browne, "The whole point is that no one should be able to use the environment without restoring it." Photographed by Snowdon at the British Petroleum offices on Saint James Square in London on February 15, 2006.
THE PORT IN THE STORM: ETIENNE BOURGOIS, fashion magnate, sailor, adventurer. The ends of the earth are melting. Etienne Bourgois, C.O.O. of the Agnès B. fashion company, wants to help. After the tragic murder of explorer and environmentalist Sir Peter Blake, Bourgois purchased his hardy research vessel, Seamaster, and re-christened it Tara. A longtime sailor, Bourgois has since participated in expeditions to Greenland and Antarctica. Now Tara is bound for the Arctic Ocean, where its team of sailor-scientists will gauge the impact of global warming on the fragile polar region. From September 2006 through September 2008, Tara is scheduled to drift through the ice of the Arctic Ocean, acting as the logistical and technological platform for scientific researchers collecting data on this still-obscure region. Supported by Agnès B. and the United Nations Environment Programme, Tara Arctic will be a centerpiece of the International Polar Year, which begins in March 2007. Bon voyage! Photographed by Brigitte Lacombe with his son Swann aboard Tara in a Patagonia canal off the coast of Chile on February 6, 2006.
THE SOWER OF SEEDS: WANGARI MUTA MAATHAI, government minister, biology professor, tree planter, Nobel Peace Prize winner. When natural resources are scarce, people fight over the scraps. The Nobel committee recognized this connection between peace and environmentalism in awarding the 2004 Nobel Peace Prize to Wangari Muta Maathai, the famed tree-planting activist of Kenya. In her native country, a rough brand of industrial development did away with 98 percent of the natural forestland. Without trees to keep the soil healthy, freshen the air, and protect rivers from erosion, the people had to coax what little food they could from increasingly desiccated farms. Starting out by planting a handful of seeds in her own backyard, Maathai, a biologist and professor, began providing seeds to other women and persuaded them to go on a planting spree. This was the start of the Green Belt Movement. But what began as a simple, innocent attempt to reforest Kenya took on the feel of a grisly political thriller in 1989, when Maathai supported a lawsuit meant to stop Kenya's corrupt leader, Daniel arap Moi, from erecting Africa's tallest skyscraper and turning a rare green space in Nairobi into a site for a statue of himself. In 1992, Maathai was beaten unconscious for protesting in support of political prisoners. With Moi finally out of power in 2002, Maathai herself was elected to the Kenyan parliament, where she is now assistant environment minister—a job that perfectly suits this modern-day sower of seeds. Photographed by Brigitte Lacombe in Portland, Oregon, on March 16, 2006.
THE ECO-ARISTOCRAT: ZAC GOLDSMITH, editor, political adviser. Zac Goldsmith is best known as a tireless environmentalist whose substantial inherited wealth (he's the son of the late British financier Jimmy Goldsmith and the brother of Jemima) lends him a certain freedom and panache that old-school, Earth First! environmentalists, with their drab fashion sense and lentil-heavy diet, clearly lack. Recently appointed as environmental attaché to David Cameron, the new leader of the U.K. Conservative Party, Goldsmith inherited his passion from his uncle Teddy, who established The Ecologist (the magazine Zac now edits) three decades ago, when the planet's eco-problems were still abstract. Goldsmith lives on an organic farm in Devon with his wife, the former model Sheherazade, and their three children; they are easily the eco-movement's most glamorous family. Photographed with his dogs, Patch and Emily, at his farm in Devon, England, by Chris Craymer on February 17, 2006.
THE DEFENDERS OF THE EARTH: NATURAL RESOURCES DEFENSE COUNCIL. At table: BARBARA FINAMORE, attorney; WESLEY WARREN, director of programs; YERINA MUGICA, researcher; LISA SPEER, analyst; JOHANNA WALD, attorney; ALLEN HERSHKOWITZ, scientist; FRANCES BEINECKE, president; ALEX WANG, attorney. Back row: JOHN ADAMS, founding director; KAREN WAYLAND, legislative director; YOLANDA RICHARDS, recruiting manager; ADRIANNA QUINTERO-SOMAINI, attorney; ANTONIA HERZOG, economist; DAN LASHOF, scientist; SARAH CHASIS, attorney; KRISTINA ORTEZ, researcher; PATRICE SIMMS, attorney; ASHOK GUPTA, policy analyst; LINDA GREER, scientist; AL HUANG, attorney. With the backing of its 1.2 million members and online activists, its $60 million annual budget, and its team of top-notch scientists, lawyers, and economists, the Natural Resources Defense Council goes up against those in power who would foul the air, land, and water. Remember when gasoline contained lead? This is the organization that was at the head of the fight to get it banned. Aerosol cans loaded with ozone-depleting agents? Largely gone, thanks also to actions taken by the N.R.D.C. Who won federal protection for 100 million acres of Alaskan lands? And who defeated a Senate bill that would have opened the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to oil drilling? You are getting the idea. The N.R.D.C. also helped—yes—to save the whales with a successful court battle to keep the U.S. Navy from using sonar systems that could have harmed those amazing creatures. When Mother Nature needs legal representation, she turns to the N.R.D.C. Photographed by Mark Seliger at the N.R.D.C. library in New York City on February 14, 2006.
THE CONSERVATIONIST CAPITALIST: HANK PAULSON, chairman and C.E.O., the Goldman Sachs Group. Hank Paulson once told a reporter that, until he went to college, all he ever wanted to be was a forest ranger. In 2004, after taking one of the unlikeliest career detours in memory, he effectively became just that—albeit a forest ranger worth some $600 million. Elected chairman of the Nature Conservancy Board of Governors that year, Paulson now oversees one of the country's principal non-governmental organizations dedicated to preserving natural land. As chairman of Goldman Sachs since 1999, Paulson is exploiting the resources of his office in the service of capitalism and environmentalism. In September 2004, after defaulted loans left Goldman in possession of 680,000 acres of old-growth forest and peat bog in Tierra del Fuego, the bank chose not to sell the land and recoup its investment, but to donate it to the Wildlife Conservation Society on behalf of the people of Chile. In November, Goldman announced a policy that promised to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions from Goldman properties by 7 percent by 2012, and to invest up to $1 billion in renewable energy and energy-efficient projects.

THE SOLAR POWER: EDWARD NORTON, actor, solar enthusiast. In 2003, movie actor and reluctant celebrity Edward Norton purchased a solar-power system for his Los Angeles home from B.P., the energy giant with the eco-friendly image. Then he thought of hooking up B.P. with Enterprise Community Partners, an affordable-housing nonprofit founded by his grandfather. Norton's idea was this: for every celebrity who installs a B.P. solar system in his or her home, B.P. could donate another one to a poor L.A. family. The company would generate some nice publicity, the families would get a break on their utility bills, and Southern California would have a bit less stress on its over-extended power grid. B.P. agreed to the proposal, and soon celebrities from Don Cheadle to Carlos Santana added panels to their homes. In its first year, the B.P. Solar Neighbors Program equipped 27 lower-income families with panels. Fifty more free systems are on the way. Norton is quick to say he's no environmental hero, but his L.A. solar initiative is the kind of commonsense idea that can make a difference in years to come. Photographed by Mark Seliger in New York City on March 4, 2006.
THE MEN FROM CITY HALL: DAVID MILLER, Toronto; RICHARD M. DALEY, Chicago; MANUEL DIAZ, Miami; MARTIN O'MALLEY, Baltimore; GREG NICKELS, Seattle; GAVIN NEWSOM, San Francisco. Our neighbors to the north certainly seem to get it: Canada ratified the Kyoto Protocol, and its largest city, Toronto, run by Mayor David Miller, was voted Low Carbon Leader in 2005 by the Climate Group, an independent British organization. The Bush administration may not be willing to join the 161 countries that recently signed the protocol, but that's not stopping local governments from taking matters into their own hands. Seattle mayor Greg Nickels established the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement; signed by 212 mayors representing 43 million Americans, the initiative commits each city to following Kyoto guidelines by reducing greenhouse-gas emissions to pre-1990 levels. Among those on board: Chicago mayor Richard Daley, whose Environmental Action Agenda (the model for many cities nationwide) replaced 130 traditional city vehicles with hybrids, and who is responsible for installing 10,000 bike racks around the city; Gavin Newsom, of San Francisco, which has the country's largest municipally owned fleet of alternative-fuel vehicles, a recycling program that puts nearly two-thirds of the city's trash back into use, and the largest city-owned solar-power system in the U.S.; Cuban-born Miami mayor Manuel Diaz, who brought in the private sector to help clean up the city's waters with the nation's first Adopt-a-Waterway program; and Baltimore's Martin O'Malley, the first mayor to receive a Leadership Award from the Energy Efficiency Forum. Photographed by Art Streiber.
THE GREEN GODDESS: ALI HEWSON, fair-trade clothing entrepreneur. Ali Hewson is gorgeously maternal, an alchemical mixture of dark, mysterious beauty (the corner of her lips, the orbit of her hips … ) and down-to-earth, minivan-mum pragmatism. This is what makes her an ideal bridge between the worlds of fashion, environmentalism, and human rights—she's an Earth Mother, but not in the dated, patchouli-funk sense of the term. As the driving force behind Edun Apparel—a clothing company she started last year with the New York designer Rogan Gregory (of the boutique-jeans label Rogan) and her husband, U2 bombastier Bono—Hewson is applying the same ideas to chemises, jeans, and dresses that conscientious shoppers and chefs have lately been applying to food: use organic products, pay your workers a fair wage, and make sure these workers are being treated humanely. Edun's fair-trade clothing, which is made in Africa, India, and South America and is available in the U.S. at Barneys and Saks, is a step forward from the aid and debt-relief campaigns for which Hewson's husband is known—it's compassionate capitalism, creating jobs in developing nations and promoting environmental awareness to boot. In her quiet way, Ali Hewson elevates our souls. Photographed by Julian Broad in Killiney Hill Park, County Dublin, on February 1, 2006.
THE SOURCE KEEPER: LI MOXUAN, watchdog. The Yellow River is in danger of running dry, says Li Moxuan, a climate researcher and campaigner with Greenpeace China. She was part of a team that made a horrifying trip to the upper reaches of Anyemaqen Mountain, where the river valley known as "the cradle of Chinese civilization" begins. Glaciologists participating in the expedition have concluded that the glaciers serving as the Yellow River's sources have shrunk by 17 percent over the last 30 years, and the river has lost more than 23 billion cubic meters of water since 1966. Nearby, grassland deterioration brought on by global warming at the top of the world has wiped out livestock, leaving the high-altitude herding communities with no way to support themselves other than government checks. Li, from the northern Chinese city of Shenyang, is a leader in the attempt to draw attention to the river's plight. She will soon trek to Mount Everest to inspect lakes, swollen by the meltings of recent years, that have overspilled their banks. The effects of global warming, not yet so dramatic at sea level, are all too visible in the regions where she has worked. Photographed by Andrew Rowat at the Li River in Xingping, Guangxi Province, China, on February 25, 2006.
THE E-GITATORS: GRAHAM HILL, treehugger.com; JENNIFER BOULDEN and HEATHER STEPHENSON, idealbite.com; LAURIE DAVID, stopglobalwarming.org; CHIP GILLER, grist.org. Sitting at a computer may never be the most decisive, muscular way of saving anything, but the electronic dissemination of information and sense of purpose shared online are key to the call-up and formation of battle stratagems for the massing armies of earth eco-warriors. More than blogs with recycled reports about melting glaciers, some offer a comprehensive philosophy for living; others are more like manuals of planet-friendly existence. One of the leading sites, the New York City–situated TreeHugger, managed by Graham Hill, says that Green is the New Black. Goat-hair carpets, taking the train instead of flying, waterless washing machines, bio-diesel—there is almost no eco-quandary this hip, not hippie, site cannot help with. Ideal Bite is the work of Jennifer Boulden and Heather Stephenson, who offer even closer-to-home guidance—what kind of apples to buy, sugar alternatives to consider. They say, "Light Green Is the New Black." Chip Giller's Seattle-based Grist Magazine, meanwhile, focuses on weightier matters: the battle over a wind farm off Cape Cod; the bad deal chickens get; mountaintop-removal mining in Appalachia; plans to produce methane from dog shit in San Francisco for use in natural-gas systems. Laurie David, wife of Larry David, is the Bono of climate change, and her Stop Global Warming is a nonpolitical group looking to pressure Washington into taking decisive action. S.G.W. supporter and Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell offers this homily online: "When viewed in total, Earth is a spaceship just like Apollo. We are all the crew of Spaceship Earth, and just like Apollo, the crew must learn to live and work together." Log on! Photographed by Mark Seliger at Griffith Park in Los Angeles on February 24, 2006.
THE RE-INVENTORS: Green architects and designers. Left: Alliance Architecture designer TRACI ROSE RIDER, a founder of Emerging Green Builders, which has members in more than 45 cities nationwide, builds structures that run on very little energy, are made from natural materials, and may even have a benevolent effect on their inhabitants' psyches and physical well-being. Right: WILLIAM MCDONOUGH, 54, founder of two Virginia-based design firms, William McDonough & Partners, Architecture and Community Design, and MBDC (McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry), has designed environmentally friendly offices, corporate campuses (Nike, Gap, IBM), and factories (notably a major project for Ford), and is currently planning entire green communities in China, the U.K., and the United States. Photographs by Todd Eberle.
THE RE-INVENTORS: Green architects and designers. Left: As director for environmental health and safety for Herman Miller, chemist PAUL MURRAY has made the famed Michigan-based furniture manufacturer an even greener place to work: the company has reduced the amount of waste it hauls to the landfill from 21 million pounds in 1994 to 6.6 million last year (while almost doubling its sales volume). His goal for 2020? No garbage at all. Right: Architects ALEX MICHAELIS (left), the son of famed solarphile Dominic Michaelis, and TIM BOYD are creating structures that practically heat themselves, even in damp, gray England. Photographs by Todd Eberle.
THE RE-INVENTORS: Green architects and designers. Left: "We can reduce our energy use by 80 percent with no reduction in our quality of life," says polymath PAUL HAWKEN (left), who founded the organic-food purveyor Erewhon Trading Company and Smith & Hawken, the gardening concern. He has written six nonfiction books, including The Ecology of Commerce, and is now producing a documentary, Blessed Unrest. His vision calls for a transformation of the industrial world "so that it mimics the kind of elegance and efficiencies we see everywhere around us in nature." Once considered part of design's lunatic fringe, and called "Captain Compost" for his advocacy of compost toilets, architect SIM VAN DER RYN has lived to see his principled style not only accepted but also held up as an example. Right: The latest project of DEAN KAMEN, 55, the New Hampshire–based founder of DEKA Research & Development Corporation and the noted inventor of the nonpolluting Segway HT, is the development of a Stirling-engine-powered electric generator and a water-purification system that together would make polluted water drinkable and provide up to one kilowatt of power. In Bangladesh last year, two Stirling-engine-powered generators were each able to provide enough power to light up to 20 shops or households (using low-power bulbs). Photographs by Todd Eberle.
THE LOW-CARBON GANG GO ZERO: ED BEGLEY JR., actor; LAUREN SHULER DONNER, producer; AISHA TYLER, actress; JOSH BERNSTEIN, environmentalist/adventurer; SYLVIA EARLE, explorer; NIA VARDALOS, actress; DARYL HANNAH, actress; MARTIN SHORT, actor; DAN LUFKIN, environmental advocate; MINNIE DRIVER, actress; STEVE RENDLE, president of North Face. The modern age is great. It has gotten comfortable indoors: cool in the summer, warm in the winter, and the lighting is very good. Travel is a snap, compared with the days of the horse carriage, although parking can be a problem. But every convenience comes with a price—namely, carbon-gas emissions, which pour out of our mechanical friends and bind themselves to oxygen, thereby heating up the planet. Go Zero, a program run by the Conservation Fund—the top environmental nonprofit organization in the U.S., according to watchdog groups, given its 96 percent program allocation against 1 percent fund-raising costs and 3 percent overhead—is dedicated to helping individuals and businesses measure how much they contribute to greenhouse gases and provides them with an easy way to do something about it. After tallying up how much you pollute (online at gocarbonzero.org), Go Zero will plant the number of trees necessary to absorb your emissions. Some hardcore environmentalists argue that the plan allows gas-guzzlers a guilt-free way to keep on polluting, but it's a start. Those pictured here have all gone zero, but that certainly doesn't keep them from doing other things to protect our fragile environment. Photographed by Art Streiber.
THE GOOD REVEREND: THE REVEREND RICHARD CIZIK, lobbyist, Christian, conservative, Washington insider. In Genesis 2:15, God shows Adam to the Garden of Eden and instructs him to "cultivate it and keep it." This is something that the Reverend Richard Cizik, 54, takes very seriously. As vice president for governmental affairs for the National Association of Evangelicals, an umbrella group representing some 45,000 churches, Cizik most certainly does not fit the green stereotype, though he keeps an energy-efficient home, recycles, and encourages churches to adopt energy-efficient standards, including driving fuel-efficient cars. A self-described "Reagan-movement conservative," he opposes gay marriage and abortion. He has prayer-breakfasted with George W. Bush and hobnobbed with Senate majority leader Bill Frist. And he doesn't even like the term "environmentalist," preferring to call himself an advocate of "creation care." Given all that, Cizik is in a much better position than almost anyone else to nudge the Bush administration toward revising its laissez-faire stance on greenhouse-gas emissions. To drive his point home, he often cites Chapter 11, Verse 18, of Revelation, which warns that God will "destroy those who destroy the earth." Amen to that. Photographed by Mark Seliger in New York City on February 15, 2006.
THE ORGANIC ENTREPRENEUR: NELL NEWMAN, organic-food executive. While other celebrity sons and daughters are content to dance on nightclub tabletops or play checkers in rehab facilities, Nell Newman is on a mission to bring organic foods to the all-American-family table, not to mention its pet bowls. With modest seed money from her father, Oscar-winning actor Paul Newman (known as "Pa" on the Newman's Own Organics labels), Nell set out to establish her organic offshoot in 1993. She won over her dad with one of his favorite snacks, pretzels, and now stocks supermarket shelves with Newman's Own Organics chocolate bars, vinegars, cookies (including the brand's most popular item, the $20-million-a-year Fig Newmans), popcorn, coffees, and even dog food. In keeping with the family's philanthropic approach, Nell's line, which is now independent from the original Newman's Own business, has generated millions for organic-agriculture research and wildlife preservation, among other causes. Having grown up in Connecticut, Nell now resides in Northern California. And when the extended family comes together for holiday meals, she's the chef. Photographed by Kurt Markus at the Newman's Own Organics Farm, in Aptos, California, on February 20, 2006.
THE FRIEND OF THE SURF: PAUL POLIZZOTTO, public-private visionary. Paul Polizzotto, a fast-talking surfing enthusiast who grew up in Manhattan Beach, California, has grim childhood memories of bad-air-quality days. After the first-flush rainstorms of the fall, he says, the waves in Santa Monica Bay would be at their gnarly height—but so would bacteria levels, as the waters rushing down L.A. streets carried toxic sediment and trash to the sea. Polizzotto went into adulthood with the aim of reducing pollution in his home bay and soon developed the Adopt-a-Waterway program, which grew into EcoMedia, a 15-employee, for-profit outfit now based in New York City. Polizzotto saw that local governments don't always have the funds to comply with environmental regulations, and that wealthy corporations have the money and the incentive to do something to help. His genius has been in bringing the two sides together. With the corporate money he drums up, he's able (a) to produce entertaining ad campaigns tied to specific sponsors that highlight how people can change their polluting ways, and (b) to send money to local governments that must comply with federal and state mandates. B.P., Comcast, Publix Supermarkets, and Bank of America have worked with EcoMedia, as have the municipalities of Baltimore, Miami, Long Beach, and, in the planning stages, Washington, D.C., and the state of New Jersey. Here's hoping Polizzotto can arrange many more of these unlikely-seeming green marriages in the years to come. Photographed by Jonas Karlsson in Santa Monica Bay off Manhattan Beach, California, on February 24, 2006.
THE BREATH OF FRESH AIR: BETTE MIDLER, singer, actress, rescuer of vacant lots. The gal who wowed 'em in the early 1970s with her song-and-dance act in the dank dungeon of Manhattan's Ansonia building is now bringing life to New York City in quite another fashion, as the founder of the New York Restoration Project. Its sensible mission? To restore thousands of acres of neglected city parkland, especially in poor neighborhoods. Since Midler started the organization, in 1995, it has hauled out roughly 80,000 tons of trash, kept more than 400 acres of riverfront land and 50 city-owned lots from the clutches of developers, and tilled the soil of many community gardens gone to seed. And it wouldn't be a Midler enterprise without some show-business glamour: Bette's Hulaween, her costume ball at the Waldorf-Astoria last fall, drew Mariah Carey, Martha Stewart, Sting and Trudie Styler, Yoko Ono, Oscar de la Renta, and Donna Karan, and featured Elton John at the piano with Devil horns glowing on top of his head. The event raised $2.2 million, proving that the lady is an environmental champ. "I love nature," says Midler, who dressed as a giant rose for the event, "despite what she did to me." Photographed by Annie Leibovitz at the Roberto Clemente State Park greenhouse, in the Bronx, on March 2, 2006.

New Men
Manliness in Early America
In 1782, J. Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur wrote, "What then, is the American, this new man? He is an American, who, leaving behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life he has embraced." In casting aside their European mores, these pioneers, de Crèvecoeur implied, were the very embodiment of a new culture, society, economy, and political system. But to what extent did manliness shape early Americas character and institutions? And what roles did race, ethnicity, and class play in forming masculinity?
Thomas A. Foster and his contributors grapple with these questions in New Men, showcasing how colonial and Revolutionary conditions gave rise to new standards of British American manliness. Focusing on Indian, African, and European masculinities in British America from earliest Jamestown through the Revolutionary era, and addressing such topics that range from slavery to philanthropy, and from satire to warfare, the essays in this anthology collectively demonstrate how the economic, political, social, cultural, and religious conditions of early America shaped and were shaped by ideals of masculinity.

Security improvements urged to boost e-commerce
Better IT security and identity management is needed if online commerce and e-government services are to succeed, according to RSA Security chief executive Arthur Coviello.
And despite the growth in broadband usage, key IT security issues need to be addressed if consumers are to gain trust in e-commerce, said Coviello, speaking at the RSA Conference Europe 2004 in Barcelona this week.
"Although the majority of Europe can connect to the Internet it is only a small number of people who are carrying out activities like buying or paying bills online," said Coviello.

Welcome to the latest installment of the Launch, where Sam Mason, former pastry chef at wd-50, relates the ups and downs of preparing to open Tailor, the swanky restaurant and lounge coming together at 525 Broome Street.
Theres a lot of media stuff going on right now; I just did a Times photo shoot, and all these writers are coming around, doing articles for August and September issues. I like that; well open and then have that burst of publicity. Right now, though, Im absorbed in all these little tasks: cleaning equipment, painting the ceiling (Im thinking of a light blue), designing the chefs' coats with Jennifer Leuzzi (I want them to have western-style snap buttons) and working out the last details with the smallware, like spoons and whisks, and the glasses, which will be Riedel and will be designed specifically for red, white, and dessert wines.
Were almost there. Some blogger had a report about us not having our liquor license yet, just to take a slap at me. Everyone knows your license is pending until you get your Certificate of Occupancy. Its a 100 percent done deal; we just need to show the city how many we can seat so the occupancy limit can be posted. Im ready for us to open, but I dont mind the free time. I dont mind being able to go out to Fire Island on the weekend, or to eat dinner out any night. I probably wont have any free time for a year. Im looking forward to opening Tailor, but Id rather people not have any preconceived notions of what its going to be like. I dont even know what I expect.

Best Corn Side Dish!
- e
- esquimeaux Nov 10, 2010 06:54 AM
I've been assigned corn for our Thanksgiving potluck - all I've ever done with corn is heat up the frozen stuff with some butter, salt, and pepper, which I think is pretty tasty in its own right. Any ideas for making this extra delicious? I'm considering creamed corn, but I think we've got enough creamy, rich foods on the menu right now....
Polenta, with full kernels in it, parmesan, jalepenos - set it in a sheet pan, cut portions, reheat in oven.
I've made this Barefoot Contessa confetti corn recipe all summer with fresh corn, but there's no reason you can't use frozen. Simple ingredients, holds well and nice and light.
re: BubblyOne
Go with the confetti corn! Looks like a light recipe and it pulls in a little bell pepper and parsley too! Cornbread or corn pudding just adds more starchy carbs...and you probably already have that on the table with whatever stuffing or dressing is being offered.
If you can get your hands on some fresh chanterelles (shitakes are also good), corn is absolutely delicious sauteed w/them in some butter (or olive oil, if you like), and some chopped shallot, maybe a bit of garlic, some fresh thyme if you have it, and then sprinkled w/chopped parsley or chives.
re: nomadchowwoman
yes! i occasionally add a little crispy bacon as well :)
re: goodhealthgourmet
I can't imagine that would hurt --at all ; )
Our family fixes Gulliver's Creamed Corn every Thanksgiving. A big hit every year.
We basically follow this recipe, but substitute 1/2 and 1/2 for the whipping cream and milk, add Worcestershire sauce, then add parsley to the topping.
re: calpurnia
LOL, I make that too, usually at Christmas! Heaven on earth-but I think OP wanted lighter.
Just had it at the Newport location last month:)
Chow's got a great corn salad recipe that works well with frozen corn--use a two-pound bag (thaw in the fridge) and you're golden. Very fresh-tasting!
definitely sweet cornbread with lots of whole kernels mixed into the batter. gives you a good mix of cakey sweet cornbread with pops of fresh corn mixed in! mmmm
You could do a maque-choux without it being too rich: corn sauteed with the tiniest smidge of bacon, bell peppers, celery, onion, pimiento, salt/pepper and diced tomatoes added at the last. Some people add a splash of cream, milk or broth at the end, just enough to mix with the corn's starch and round it out.
Corn pudding is delicious and is a staple for many families at Thanksgiving, mine included. I use a custard type recipe that is so good, you can eat it by itself.
re: Cherylptw
I did this last year and it was amazing!!!
re: Cherylptw
there wold be an uprising is corn pudding wasnt on our table!
This is the one we use...
re: AmyH
a little bird told me that you need to use a long-pronged fork.
i want to get one of those stainless steel chopsticks tongs like ming tsai uses: http://www.amazon.com/MIU-France-Stai...
those would be perfect.
or just use a meat fork to stir that pudding. http://www.google.com/products/catalo...
re: alkapal
Yes, the instructions did suggest that. But it still seems like "vigorous stirring" and "undisturbed topping" would be mutually exclusive. Unless Bryan Pepperseed below can come up with a working model of his right angle bended coat hanger wire!
re: AmyH
It wasn't me, but apparently someone is working on something similar.
re: Bryan Pepperseed
This is EXACTLY what is needed to cook this recipe!
re: Cherylptw
I have to add my vote for corn pudding in here too- I use a recipe from a cook book I picked up in Utah- 4T butter. 1/2 c flour. 11/2 tsp salt. 3/4 tsp mustard. 1/2 tsp paprika. 11/2 c scalded milk. 2 can cream style corn. 1 egg slightly beaten. 2tsp worcestershire sauce . 1 cup buttered bread crumbs.
it is now a family favorite
re: poached
I add a dash of spiced rum and/or maple syrup, to make it New England style. Also cook in a water bath so it comes out like custard. No stirring involved.
assuming you're having a pretty traditional Thanksgiving menu, i vote for nomadchowwoman's suggestion of sauteed corn with chanterelles, or a variation of corn pudding or polenta. all would work nicely with the standard Turkey Day fare.
Michael Ruhlman has a wonderful recipe for Baked Buttered Corn that I have made several times. Simply delicious...! The recipe is imbedded in his post here:
4th & 5th paragraphs.
Basically it's corn kernels and butter, baked till bubbly. That's it.
re: Gio
And this magnificent dish will be on my T-Day table. I bought 24 ears of corn, stripped them and they are waiting in the freezer. I will mix in some frozen corn to have some whole kernals. So easy.... just drop the corn into a dish, add some butter, salt and pepper and bake. It is even good reheated, as we discovered several weeks ago.
re: smtucker
So the Ruhlman recipe does not get covered at all in the oven? That one poster on his blog said she used some mascarpone in there too....<swoon>...must try this soon!
re: Gio
I have one of those wooden corn cutters he mentions... it is totally worthless and slated for the trash or thrift store bin on my next kitchen cleanout.
I bought it in the hope it would speed up my annual corn freezing marathon. Not.
I will say it is good for a bit of enterainment value, if you enjoy watching corn kernels fly about your kitchen!
re: onrushpam
Best tool I EVER found for this was a good old fashioned electric carving knife and a deep, wide bowl in a deep, wide sink. With a scarf, and goggles.
re: mamachef
this ain't you, mamachef! http://brandname101.com/wp-content/up...
that made me laugh real good, i tell ya!
re: alkapal
OMG, you've discovered my true identity!! On a seriously bad morning, I look JUST like this, only with more shadow...
re: onrushpam
I recently read a good tip, to take an ear of corn and stick it into the hole of a bundt pan, then slice the corn off into the pan. Worked pretty decently.
re: thew
Thew, if you're referring to the Ruhlman recipe... originally I used corn kernels that I cut off the cob. Now that corn season is virtually over here north of Boston, I'll use frozen.
ETA: now that I think about it there are juices from cutting the kernels off the cob, so maybe a can of kernels would be good to add to the frozen.
re: goodhealthgourmet
I wanted to ask too, so you use some fresh corn and a can of corn with the liquid? That's what it sounds like. I might try this someday when I'm in a rush.
re: ipsedixit
Cornbread with bacon and/or cracklin' added to the mix .
Just make sure you don't add any sugar to the recipe.
re: deet13
exactly. no sugar! it ain't no cake -- it is cornbread, people.
now, some people do make corn cakes, and they have their place. ;-).
and these http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/foo... will have a place in my repertoire. fried + corn = real darn good.
not really what you think of at Thanksgiving.....but I just love corn, mixed with red bell pepper, jalepenos, onion, garlic.......simmered in some butter....really nice colors.....
This is usually a mainstay on our summer table, but if you're looking to break up the creamy, rich, Lipitor-chaser dishes, it's a great one! :)
In a big bowl, combine:
- 1 bag frozen Birdseye sweet corn (it's not as good or sweet with off-brand), cooked
- 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
- 1 package green onions, chopped
Then add:
- 1/4 C - 1/3 C garlic oil (if you prefer canola/olive/vegetable oil, simply add several mashed garlic cloves)
- 1/4 C apple cider vinegar
- 1 Tbls brown sugar
- 1 tsp salt
- lots o'fresh cracked pepper
- your favorite "green" herbs - I use chives, thyme, tarragon, and a dash of dill
Stir it all up and let it sit for several hours before serving. You can tweak the oil/vinegar measures to taste.
re: mcel215
i shuck 11 ears of corn, put the cobs in a vat of water, and simmer to make corn broth/stock.
i saute 9 chopped scallions in 3 tbsp o butter. then add in about 1/2 - 3/4 tsp chipotle in adobo; also season with s & p. simmer til scallions are soft. add corn kernels, 2 1/2 cup almond milk (unsweetened) and 2 1/4 cups corn stock. simmer til corn is cooked. then puree in blender or with hand blender. adjust seasonings. finally, run through a food mill to produce the most velvety thing ever.
for garnish, shuck one more ear of corn and roast the kernels at 375 for 15-20 min stirring every so often so they don't burn. sprinkle on soup with more scallions if desired.
Not sure if it will really suit a Thanksgiving meal, but I like to saute a finely chopped onion in olive oil, add the corn, and cilantro and black pepper. I leave the corn in there awhile until it's a little brown.
Thanks to all replying with recipes in this thread. Just so you know it doesnt go unnoticed when you do that!!
I picked up a couple new ideas/dishes for what is always such a simple enjoyable food. Thanks again!
I love Andrew Carmellini's spicy corn. It's going to be very similar to a traditional corn side, except the flavor is raised to the 10th power. If you are eating with traditional folks, I think this will be very well received.
This is my special occasion, decadently rich, corn fave. Embarrassingly easy (thanks to the Jiffy mix!) and I ALWAYS have to give out the recipe.
SWEET CORN SPOONBREAD (very rich - do it as a little on the side, like in good Mexican restaurants)
1/4 pound salted butter, melted
1 (15 ounce) (fresh, canned, or frozen and thawed) whole kernel corn drained
1 (15 ounce) can creamed corn
1 (8.5 ounce) package Jiffy corn muffin mix
8 ounce sour cream
2 eggs
1/2 to 1tsp sugar (optional depending on how sweet you like it)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Combine butter, whole corn, creamed corn, eggs, sugar and sour cream. Add corn muffin mix and stir until just blended. Pour into *sprayed or buttered 2 quart casserole dish.
Bake for 1 hour.
*I use ceramic bakeware, so I can mix all the ingredients right in the casserole dish and then put it in the oven without having to spray or butter the dish. (I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this bakeware - available on QVC.)
-For Mexican style = add chopped green chilis and red bell pepper, top with cheddar last 10 mins
-For even sweeter increase sugar to 1-2Tbs.
There are endless ways to add to this; chopped onions, bacon, cheese, etc., and so many people seem to have a similar recipe. I would love to hear other versions!
PS. I prefer it with the fresh or frozen corn over the canned.
re: ski_gpsy
Hi ski gypsy,
This looks nice and easy. Can this be prepared a day ahead and reheated at serving time?
re: junescook
Here's an alternative that used cornmeal instead of mix and is just a little different, but no harder. I love it and make it often for brunch.
re: junescook
Hi junescook, I haven't yet made it in advance but I have reheated leftovers, and also microwaved them, and both methods worked well. The basic recipe itself made without cheese or bacon etc. is also fine served at room temp.
This recipe from Alton Brown is outstanding - http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/al...
Probably one of the best corn dishes I've eaten in a long time. Super simply, super tasty
re: DiningDiva
I agree DiningDiva! Alton's recipe is delicious, and special occasion recommended.
I know Thanksgiving is gone by now but I made johnnycakes as an X-mas side dish and it got some rave reviews. See Joy of Cooking recipe, works great with fat instead of butter.
I just made cooking.com's Mac & Cheese With Corn last nite and it was great. And EASY!
It even uses dry pasta. Pour everything in a casserole dish and bake it. Easy and de-lish! (But NOT non-rich, although some cooks halved the butter and subbed in lowfat milk.)

I am trying to help my Fiance find a Doctor. She has had 3 surgeries for her Scoliosis issue. She has 2 rods and 11 screws in her back. We have just moved to Southeastern Ohio. Anyone have any suggestions of where to start. Her family DR says she HAS TO go back to where she was seen before and nobody will touch her anywhere else.

Check the websites for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons or similar association for neurosurgeons - most have a search for board certified surgeons in a specific geographic area. Another idea might be to check the nearest university medical center for their spine specialists. Also, I think the American Medical Association has a similar search feature.
I have never heard that anyone had to go back to previous doctors but maybe other members here have.
Good luck in finding someone who can help.

Epic Fail
The B.C. Ministry of Environment says it warned Imperial Metals about the Mount Polley mine tailings pond levels repeatedly before this week's devastating breach. The breach of the tailings pond dam at the copper and gold mine near Likely, B.C., released 10 billion litres of water and 4.5 million cubic metres of metals-laden fine sand, contaminating several lakes, creeks and rivers in the Cariboo region.

CAPE CORAL, Fla. - The Cape Coral mayor's name is on a city document. But did he sign it? Or did someone else? Now the Florida Department of Law Enforcement might be called in to investigate.
Councilman John Carioscia says the mayor says he didn't know how his name got on this document. Now, Carioscia thinks someone might of forged it, and he's on a mission to learn the truth.
The document, a Certificate Aa To Public Meetings, is from August 26th. It appears to have the mayor's signature on it.
But councilman John Carioscia says he's not so sure the mayor himself signed it. "What we have to do is determine who did this and why," he said.
Carioscia says it started in Lee County court last week, where people were questioning the city's fire assessment fee.
"It's reported that the mayor in his closing arguments of the validation had stated that a document that was presented as evidence, which is the "certificate as to public meetings" contained a signature which is not his," Carioscia said.
The mayor himself won't comment on the matter, pending an investigation.
"It puts a cloud on the clerks office here, because they had access to this document. It puts a cloud on the council," Carioscia said.
The next step is for an outside agency, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement to investigate. "Getting a forensic handwriting analyst in here, and they'll sit down with different signatures by different individuals who had access to this document and have him render a finding on who's signature that is."
The document with the alleged forgery on will not have any impact on any city matter or the fire assessment itself.
FDLE tells WINK News they are aware of the allegations, but have not received an official request for an investigation at this time.

How dose Tebow panning out puts us back on track? This team is on the right track with or without Tebow panning out. This season has been nothing but gravy. The defense is a player or two from being great. The OL is top 5. And there is enough evaluation on the QBs to make a decision. John Elway has always had a 3 year plan for the franchise to return to its former glory. I'd say with last year's short offseason, this team is way ahead of schedule. If Tebow pans out its would be nice, but I don't think he has the time to pan out. He is too far behind in the QB area to catch up. There are options out there for Denver. If you look at the last 5 or 6 years, college has churnned out 3 or 4 top flight QBs per year. The QBs coming out of college are getting better and better for the NFL game today. We may not get a shot at Luck or RG3 but I think there are other QBs in the draft that nobody is talking about (as much) that could pan out to the next Big Ben even a Tom Brady. Tebow probably will not pan out, or pan out in time for Elway's schedule, but that's not putting the franchise off track by any means. The team is way ahead of schedule and moving in the right direction.
