Course Description
If you are the kind of person who... ...then you might want to start your own catering business.
...then you might want to start your own catering business.
Caterers work closely with their clients to develop a menu and a party plan that meets their clients' desires and budget. To be a successful caterer, you must have business savvy, be great at dealing with people, and able to handle stress. Additionally, you'll need be an excellent cook as well as be creative, organized and efficient. Some caterers have several of these qualities when they start out, but they have to develop the others as they go along.
This course discusses in detail the critical aspects of management involved in running a catering business like how to get the appropriate licenses and permits, what kind of kitchen you need, basic food safety practices, party planning, cooking for a crowd, planning meals, dealing with customers, understanding how to price your services, and moving the food safely from one location to another.
If you are passionate about food and you feel like you have what it takes to start your own catering business, this course can help you understand the critical steps involved in starting off on the right foot.

Course Lessons
Lesson 1: What Is Catering?Unlike a restaurant, which prepares food in the same location that it will be served, caterers generally cook the food in one place, and take it to a party venue to be served.
Lesson 2: State and Local RegulationsMost areas of the country require that people who are cooking for others, do so in a commercial kitchen. Specific requirements vary among states and counties.
Lesson 3: Food SafetyFood safety is a critical issue, and it deserves a whole course of its own, but this section presents some basic food safety guidelines.
Lesson 4: Business PlanningA business plan is like an outline that describes your business. In the beginning, there will be some issues you aren't sure how to answer.
Lesson 5: Getting StartedBefore you quit your day job, make a detailed analysis of what all your startup costs will be.
Lesson 6: MarketingFor a catering business, marketing means letting people know you are out there, making sure they understand what kind of events you do and what you want to do, and ensuring they are able to find you when they want you.
Lesson 7: Party PlanningIn the early days of your business, most clients are likely to be friends and family members with whom you already have a relationship, and who will only be so hard on you if something goes awry.
Lesson 8: Meal PlanningMeal planning can seem like an overwhelming task, but once you understand the occasion, the venue, and its limitations, the most important thing is what the customer wants.
Lesson 9: ShoppingThe contract is signed, the menu is ready, and you are about to go shopping. As a professional caterer, you are armed and ready with an extensive list of everything you need, organized by the store in which you plan to buy it.
Lesson 10: Timing and Kitchen EfficiencyThe more efficient you make your work processes, the less time it takes. The less time it takes, the more profitable you can be.
Lesson 11: Logistics: Getting the Food to Its Destination on TimeThere are two ways catered food can arrive at its final destination: either the caterer takes it, or the customer picks it up.

What to eat the day before the Big Apple BBQ?

Germany May Have Paid A Price For Its Financial Power
By editor
Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep. Germany paid a price for asserting its financial power. Germans, more than others, had to finance bailouts for countries like Greece, and imposed austerity measures in return. Those who disapprove may have struck back. People across the continent and beyond watched the Eurovision song contest.
The audience votes on the winner, and acts from Denmark won this year. But the German entry finished near the bottom, with most countries giving the Germans no points at all. It's MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

continued "This is wonderful news for the entire Lake George region, Stec said. "Undoubtedly the Sagamore's employees welcome this news, but also it speaks to the health of the economy in the entire Lake George area. This is fabulous."
Lake George Chamber of Commerce president Michael Consuelo offered his thoughts.
"This will draw more attention to our region as a year-round destination," he said, noting that Bolton businesses will now be able to stay open off-season, boosting their prosperity.
Guay made the announcement minutes before he conducted a tour of the most recent changes at the resort.
Improvements this year include refurbishing the Lodge suites and rooms, renovating the Sagamore Conference Center and reconstructing the Spa and Salon.
The conference center now features a new color scheme, new multi-colored stone slate flooring, distinctive carpeting, chandeliers and furnishings — including lobby tables with massive rustic burl supports. Also, two new well-appointed executive board rooms a have been constructed.
The Lodge suites and rooms have been modernized with all-new stainless steel appliances, new cabinets and built-ins, as well as a makeover with "Adirondack-chic" decor.
The reconstruction of the spa and salon includes a new array of 14 spa treatment rooms, 11 massage rooms, and new hair styling, pedicure and manicure stations — four each — and a lounge where guests can relax and socialize, as well as new rest room facilities The spa's lobby features a sweeping installation of blonde hardwood and glass as well as soft lighting and contemporary fixtures.
After touring the resort to see all the upgrades, Conover said he was impressed.
"The owners have made a tremendous investment in their facilities and we're thrilled — this means so much to the whole community," Conover said.
Guay declined to say how much these most recent upgrades cost.
Conover noted that the hotels and inns in the town of Bolton generates a full 25 percent of Warren County's income from accommodations, and the Sagamore now being open year-round with its new upgrades is likely to have a big impact on the county's revenue — through sales and occupancy tax.
He also said that the resort's local suppliers, as well as shops and businesses in the region would also benefit from the Sagamore's changes.
"Lake George is considered the Queen of American Lakes, and The Sagamore is the jewel of the queen's crown," he said.
The Sagamore, considered a national landmark and offering elegant accommodations for more than 100 years, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (AP) - Authorities have found about $4 million worth of marijuana and a panga boat at a beach in Santa Barbara County.
The boat was spotted early Sunday at Arroyo Quemado Beach. Partially hidden in bushes were 50 plastic-wrapped bales of pot with a combined weight estimated at 2,000 pounds.
The boat was apparently abandoned and had at least 20 fuel containers on board. Panga boats are often used for smuggling people or drugs into the United States from Mexico.
Earlier this month, marijuana worth at least $1 million was discovered near a boat abandoned on the Vandenberg Air Force Base coastline.

Over the weekend we learned that the Pakistani military announced it had retaken from the Taliban the largest city in the Swat Valley, Mingora (located 100 miles northwest of Islamabad, Pakistan's capital), "scoring a significant victory against Taliban forces three weeks after the start of an offensive in the area," according to the New York Times. The Times goes on to write:
The campaign is seen as a test of Pakistan's resolve to fight its growing insurgency, which has spread substantially in the past two years, and which the United States says is compromising efforts to quell a similar insurgency in neighboring Afghanistan.
There are several encouraging signs to take from events in Swat. The first is that the Pakistani military clearly has concentrated its mind on the Taliban since the "peace agreement" broke down earlier this spring. The Taliban, on the defensive and presumably in response to the Pakistani offensive, hit Lahore and Peshawar with deadly strikes last week. The question now is if the Pakistani military offensive will be sustained and even enlarged. Its next campaign is set to target Waziristan.
Another good sign is that, according to Major General Athar Abbas, a military spokesman, the Pakistani public seems to be firmly behind the expanded offensive. "The military feels it's in a much better position to finish the job because it has public support," he said. This is crucial, since successful counterinsurgency efforts depend on winning over public support.
The conflict in Pakistan is causing enormous suffering; the latest government estimate is that nearly 3 million civilians have been displaced by the fighting in Swat. Many of the Taliban who were in Mingora slipped away, in order to fight another day (the military estimates that there were 5,000 militants in the Swat Valley before the operation began; it claims 1,000 have been killed v. nearly 100 Pakistani soldiers). And this war, like virtually every war, will have ebbs and flows. No decisive turning point has been reached in the fighting, which will drag on for some time to come. But progress, like setbacks, should be recognized. And in this case, the early signs of the Pakistani military counteroffensive against the Taliban are good. As General David Petraeus, commander of U.S. Central Command, said in an interview with Fox News's Martha MacCallum, in Pakistan we are seeing a "fairly unique convergence uniting against the Taliban." It will be a "tough" fight, according to Petraeus, but one the Pakistani military has clearly taken on. Militaries will often do that against those they view as fundamental threats to their state.

Comix is the best comic software I have ever used and I really love the bookmark function.
Now I want to use comix on my new Macbook, but it's seems that the OS X verson is not provided...
Jarle Brinchmann
Saw this only now, but just to let you know: I am using the Mac Port version of comix on my Mac and it works a charm, although full-size is unreliable.
Basically you would need to install the port utility (www.macports.org) which is very useful for any kind of Unix code you want to run on the mac anyway. To install comix you do: "port comix" and after some time (it compiles it all..) it should have been installed and should work nicely. Note that you need to use Cmd-buttom to access right-click type menus (i.e. to remove a collection etc.)
Btw. If this is the first time you use port you are well advised to read up a bit about it to be sure you understand where everything ends up etc. The web page above is a decent place to start.

Say something niceNovember 8th, 2013 |
If all the people who don't have anything nice, interesting or smart to say were to shut up, the world would be a quiet place. And we would probably have to live without reality TV too!
A proverb says: "If what you have to say is not important as the silence, then silence."
Sorry, if it is not correct, i'm from Germany and used babelfish to translate.
"If you can't say something good about someone, come sit right here by me." -Alice Roosevelt Longworth
It would also be nice if people who didn't know what they were doing wouldn't try to file out prop nicks.
I was doing a pre-inspection run up on a C-150 that had a nasty vibration. So I started by checking out the prop, and found one blade had be filed down almost a inch shorter than the other. On further inspection we found the weld holding the prop flange onto the crankshaft had cracked three quarters the way around, and was quite close to letting go. That would have made for a interesting flight.

Your mentor will inspire, encourage and support you, and contribute to your professional and personal development. Through the mentoring relationship, you can expect to strengthen and build your network, and gain the skills and confidence necessary to excel professionally.
Proteges are expected to have researched the game industry and have a specific goal beyond "breaking in" for their mentoring relationship. GameMentorOnline mentors are industry professionals who can offer a wealth of advice and guidance, but only if you've done your homework and want to improve in a demonstrable way by the end of the 6-month mentoring relationship.
GameMentorOnline has limited openings for proteges -- your written reason for joining will help us understand if the program is a good match for your goals. Please be sure to be as descriptive as possible (yet direct and to the point) when you apply for the program so that your expectations of a mentor are clear to the team reviewing applications.
Tip for your application - Please treat this as if you are applying for a job. Take into consideration the presentation of your professional attachments, such as a resume.
First complete your profile. Provide information on the kinds of suppport you are looking for. Then, browse the list of mentors who will provide that type of support and create mentoring request. It is up to you to search for a mentor that specializes in the discipline in which you seek guidance.
We ask our mentors to make commitments of four months in order to ensure that the protégé is able to fully benefit from the relationship. If a mentor must leave the relationship early, we request at least one month's notice in order to search for a replacement mentor with similar background.
We encourage you to inform the mentor about the situation, and to contact the GameMentorOnline admin immediately. We will provide our full support to resolve the situation in a positive and satisfactory manner.

Squirrelbait / David Grubbs – Motorola Cloudburst
This record came as a free gift with some fanzine, I don't remember which. It was released in the late 1980's, but the recording on side one is from 1983. Side one contains the first two songs on Squirrelbait's great first album, which was recorded in 1983, but never released. The line up at that time was:
Peter Searcy — Vocals
David Grubbs — Guitar
Clark Johnson — Bass
Britt Walford — Drums
I don't know the title of the song on side two. As you can see from looking at the label pics, the label is adorned with inside jokes, so you have no idea what it is you're getting with this record. I can tell you this, however: the voice (talking about Elvis, Che Guevera and revolution) is that of Phil Ochs, take from Phil's Live at Carnegie Hall LP.
The text on the back refers to a fictitious band called Motorola Cloudburst. More inside jokes. Clever stuff.

'Fresh expressions' - too contaminated to be useful?
There's a certain cynicism about fresh expressions in some quarters
People have called almost anything a 'fresh expression' – even a new church notice board! (See Mike Hill's blog). The term 'fresh expression' risks becoming almost meaningless.
Too broad a definition can also avoid the challenge of engaging fruitfully with people who don't currently attend church. If anything new can be a fresh expression, the church is let off the hook of doing mission more effectively. We can bask in the satisfaction of thinking that we too are doing fresh expressions, without making the mission sacrifices.
Mission should be at the heart of our understanding of fresh expressions
In What is a fresh expression of church?, the Fresh Expressions team has offered the following as a definition:
A fresh expression is a form of church for our changing culture, established primarily for the benefit of people who are not yet members of any church.
- It will come into being through principles of listening, service, contextual mission and making disciples.
- It will have the potential to become a mature expression of church shaped by the gospel and the enduring marks of the church and for its cultural context.
This is a bit of a mouthful but it does make some important points.
It emphasises four things in particular
Fresh expressions are:
- missional – serving people outside church;
- contextual – listening to people and entering their culture;
- formational – forming disciples as a priority;
- ecclesial – being church rather than a stepping-stone into church.
Might it be time to raise the bar on what it means to be a fresh expression?
Might these four bullets be a helpful way of giving meaning to the term?
If a denomination or a diocese has a policy for promoting fresh expressions, does what it has in mind satisfy these criteria?
If a local church is describing an initiative as a fresh expression, again does the venture meet these criteria? Let's be relaxed if it doesn't – it could still be a worthwhile project. But at least the church wouldn't be raising false expectations.
And let's remember, too, that expectations may change. A community project may evolve unexpectedly into a fresh expression.
Wouldn't we all be helped by using 'fresh expressions' in a more careful way?

The Downes Prize 2013
Stephen Downes, Dec 30, 2013
Commentary by Stephen Downes
This year's Downes Prize is awarded to:
Discussing design models for hybrid/blended learning and the impact on the campus
Tony Bates, online learning & distance education resources
Tony Bates is probably known to every practitioner of distance and online learning. His terse two-line biography ("President and CEO of Tony Bates Associates Ltd, a private company specializing in consultancy and training in the planning, management and design of e-learning and distance education. He was Director of Distance Education and Technology in the Continuing Studies Division of the University of British Columbia, Vancouver, Canada from 1995 to 2003) understates his wide impact on the field.
Why this post? Tony Bates blogs regularly at his home page, online learning & distance education resources, and his informal online work has become arguably as influential as his books (it's worth some time exploring the links in his biography). It could have been any of a number of items from this year, a year that included everything from a series on productivity in online learning to his series of aha moments in online learning. There has been no shortage of his posts in OLDaily this year. But the numbers, for whatever reason, point to this post (maybe it was the typos - preserved for posterity)(see my discussion of how the Downes Prize is determined at the end of this post).

Previous Winners
In 2012, the Downes Prize was awarded to Clayton R. Wright, for his series of posts annotating educational technology conferences.
In 2011, the prize was awarded to the Consortium for School Networking for Acceptable Use Policies in Web 2.0 & Mobile Era.
In 2010, the prize was awarded to JISC for Effective Assessment in a Digital Age.
How the Winners are Chosen
I've used the same method over each of the last four years, and I think that the method has stood the test of time, identifying as winners not merely work of outstanding quality, but also work that is not necessarily recognized by other writers in the field.
To be selected, the item must first appear in OLDaily over the course of the year. So this gives me a pool of roughly a thousand nominees over the year. I don't think I miss anything that would qualify, but if next year you think I've missed something important, then by all means send me the URL. Note, though, that to appear in OLDaily the work has to be relevant to the field, be future-oriented, and be open (in the sense that, if you click on the link, you are taken straight to the item - no paywalls, no forms to fill out). My selection criteria for OLDaily haven't really changed in 15 years.
Next, I look at the number of hits the item has received over the course of the year. An item receives a hit if someone views the 'post' page on this website (www.downes.ca/post/whatever), or if a person clicks on a link to view the item from the email newsletter or an RSS or Twitter feed (www.downes.ca/post/whatever/rd). People who opt out of the redirect by clicking on the 'Direct Link' are not counted. Note that I don't collect individual data - I just count hits.
Finally, the ordering is rebalanced. Items written by myself are removed (because awarding the prize to myself would be ridiculous). Items that aren't really about the field are dropped (last year I dropped an item about why Internet Explorer should be uninstalled; this year I dropped an Oxford Dictionary listing for MOOC). Finally, the list is balanced to take into account the fact that posts from earlier in the year receive more hits, just on account of being on the website longer. This gives me an ordered list. I play no favourites. The winner is the winner, and the next nine or ten are honourable mentions. Whatever the data says, goes.
One final note: I create this list to recognize the best in the field. It's not intended to drive traffic to this website (and it generally doesn't). I don't issue badges for people to post and link back. I don't encourage campaigning for the Prize and would remove entries I felt were being propped up. I don't even tell the winners they've won. And I would add that I noticed this year, as indeed I do every year, the large volume of excellent work that is produced in our field. Martin Weller said some nice things about OLWeekly in The Best EdTech Book You Never Read. But what's really important is that I don't write this book. You do.

"I'd call this season the most challenging one in my 12 years here," Lewis said. "Our team is as talented as any we've had here, and expectations have never been higher. But we have a tough schedule, and we can take nothing for granted. We don't get to start where we left off, as division champions. We've got to earn it all again before we can take those next steps."
The next step, logically, would be winning a playoff game, something the Bengals have not done since 1990. They are 0-5 in the postseason under Lewis, making three straight first-round exits.
Despite that lack of playoff success, Cincinnati remains on the upswing. It is coming off its first division title since 2009 and is loaded with young talent on offense.
The defense is getting there in terms of budding stars, but that is where Lewis' established veterans can carry the slack.
Hey, the Bengals must be doing something right as both their offensive and defensive coordinators from last season -- Jay Gruden and Mike Zimmer -- enter 2014 as head coaches in the NFL.
Cincinnati wasn't super active in free agency, instead adding key pieces to its foundation through the draft. But president Mike Brown also avoided a massive season-long distraction by signing quarterback Andy Dalton to a big- time contract extension prior to the start of the season.
"I like him on the field; he's steady Eddie," Brown said of Dalton. "He competes. He doesn't do stupid things. He keeps us focused. He makes us a winning team. He's won nine games, then 10, then 11. That's pretty good. Everybody knows we didn't win in the playoffs, and we have to get over that hump. And we are counting on Andy to get us to that point."
Another early playoff exit may have Brown regretting his investment of a reported $115 million over six years, but the club has assembled the necessary talent to make it work in Cincinnati.
2013 RECORD: 11-5 (1st, AFC North)
LAST PLAYOFF APPEARANCE: 2013, lost to San Diego Chargers in wild-card round
HEAD COACH (RECORD): Marvin Lewis (90-85-1 in 11 seasons)
OFFENSIVE COORDINATOR: Hue Jackson (third season with Bengals, first as OC)
DEFENSIVE COORDINATOR: Paul Guenther (10th season with Bengals, first as DC)
KEY ADDITIONS: QB Jason Campbell (from Browns), RB Jeremy Hill (2nd round, LSU), C Russell Bodine (4th round, North Carolina), T Marshall Newhouse (from Packers), T Will Svitek (from Patriots), DE Will Clarke (3rd round, West Virginia), LB Dontay Moch (from Cardinals), LB Sam Montgomery (from Texans), CB Darqueze Dennard (1st round, Michigan State), DB R.J. Stanford (from Dolphins), SS Danieal Manning (from Texans)
KEY DEPARTURES: QB Josh Johnson (to 49ers), FB Chris Pressley (to Browns), WR Andrew Hawkins (to Browns), C Kyle Cook (free agent), G Otis Hudson (to Chiefs), G Mike Pollak (free agent), T Anthony Collins (to Buccaneers), T Dennis Roland (free agent), DE Michael Johnson (to Buccaneers), LB Michael Boley (free agent), LB James Harrison (free agent), DB Brandon Ghee (to Chargers), DB Chris Crocker (free agent), P Zoltan Mesko (free agent)
QB: The stats showed that Dalton deserved to be paid despite still having one year left on his rookie contract.
Had Cincinnati not opted to pay the 26-year-old, his status would have no doubt been discussed week in and week out, especially if the fourth-year pro struggled.
Not helping was the Bengals drafting high-profile Alabama quarterback AJ McCarron in the fifth round, but the Bengals put any issues to bed by opening the bank for Dalton.
The TCU product continued his upward trend in 2013, setting franchise records with 4,293 passing yards and 33 touchdown passes. He did get picked off 20 times, but there is no doubt that the Bengals feel okay with putting the franchise in his hands.
And to his credit, Dalton is aware of what needs to be done.
"I know how it works," noted Dalton. "You're not at the top among quarterbacks until you've won in the playoffs."
Cincinnati doesn't appear as if it is ready to rush McCarron into a backup role despite his two national titles and 36-4 record as a starter with the Crimson Tide.
Instead, the No. 2 job appears to be Jason Campbell's to lose. Campbell made eight starts last year with Cleveland and is a veteran of 79 NFL starts.
RB: New offensive coordinator Hue Jackson wants to see the Bengals better establish a running game after the club finished 18th on the ground a season ago, and he'll have plenty of options.
Jackson should look to get the ball into second-year pro Giovani Bernard's hands often. Bernard amassed 1,209 yards from scrimmage a year ago and he set a franchise record for catches by a running back with 56.
Bernard, a former second-round pick, has the ability to break off big plays at any moment, but gives up size at just 5-foot-9.
That is where the returning BenJarvus Green-Ellis and 2014 second-round pick Jeremy Hill come in. Both top 220 pounds and offer power straight ahead, though Hill was able to break off a number of long runs at LSU.
When Jackson opts to put a fullback on the field, the duties will likely fall to college free agent Nikita Whitlock.
WR: Few can blame the Bengals for their tendency to throw the ball last season given the presence of A.J. Green, who has quickly emerged as one of the top wideouts in all of football.
The fourth overall pick of the 2011 draft, Green has already recorded the most catches (260) and second-most yards (3,833) of any receiver in NFL history over his first three seasons. He has 11 touchdown catches in back-to-back seasons and his 1,426 receiving yards last year fell just 14 shy of matching Chad Johnson's 2007 franchise record.
Even more important for the Bengals, Green appears ready to be more of a vocal leader in the locker room.
"Be more vocal with teammates, get more involved and step out of your box a little bit," Green said of his goals for the season. "You have to do that in order to be great. I feel like I've done enough here to say some things. I have to be more vocal. Not selfish, but talk to people. We have a bunch of good leaders here."
Cincinnati's other big-play receiver is Marvin Jones, who took advantage of the space created by Green's presence to nab 10 touchdown passes a season ago along with 51 receptions.
Jones, who is currently sidelined with a broken foot, is the athletic counter to Mohamed Sanu, who like Jones was a 2012 draft pick. Sanu brings size at 6- foot-2, 210 pounds and should see time in the slot. However, club's will have to keep an eye on him wherever he lines up as he has run the ball in the pass and has completed a pair of NFL passes, one a 73-yard TD throw to Green.
Brandon Tate figures to have a roster spot locked down due to his ability to return kicks, but could be pushed for playing time by Dane Sanzenbacher.
TE: The decision to select Tyler Eifert in the first-round of the 2013 draft made having two tight ends on the field a must for the Bengals thanks to the presence of Jermaine Gresham.
Gresham and Eifert combined to make 88 receptions for 915 yards last year, with Gresham falling four catches shy of his fourth straight season of at least 50 receptions.
Eifert also figures to improve during his sophomore campaign, while veteran Alex Smith returns to fill a blocking role.
OL: The Bengals have a nice veteran presence at tackle in Andrew Whitworth and Andre Smith. Whitworth is expected to start on the left side and hopes to stick there after moving to guard in 2013 for a while due to injury. He is a veteran of 116 regular season starts, while Smith has started 36 of the last 37 games at right tackle.
Kevin Zeitler, a 2012 first-round pick, has had the right guard spot locked down since getting drafted, while Clint Boling is looking to bounce back from a major knee injury suffered on Dec. 1 of last season that halted his consecutive starts streak at 29.
Rookie Russell Bodine, a fourth-round selection figures to hold off Trevor Robinson for the starting center job.
Marshall Newhouse and Will Svitek were both signed in the offseason to add depth at tackle.
DL: The Bengals have managed to put together one of the most dominant defensive lines in football over the past few seasons and have invested in the future of the unit a well.
Even with the loss of Michael Johnson in free agency, the front four still figures to have its way with opposing offensive lines. Ends Carlos Dunlap and Wallace Gilberry tied for the club lead with 7 1/2 sacks each last season, with Gilberry doing so despite just two starts. However, he'll see plenty of time on the ride side due to Johnson's departure.
Dunlap, meanwhile, is as athletic as they come, showing off his skills by blocking two field goal attempts, knocking down 10 pass attempts and forcing four fumbles, all while consistently getting to the quarterback.
Cincinnati is deep at the end spot as well. Margus Hunt, all 290 pounds of him spread out over a 6-foot-8 frame, played in 10 games last season and has excited the Bengals with his potential, while rookie Will Clarke joins the mix after getting taken in the third round out of West Virginia. He also brings size at 6-foot-6, 271 pounds.
The Bengals also will get a boost with the return of defensive tackle Geno Atkins, who missed the final seven games of last season due to a torn ACL. He still managed six sacks in 2013 after posting 12 1/2 the previous year.
"Geno is one of the best defensive tackles in the game," declared nose tackle Domata Peko. "It's going to uplift everybody. We're excited to have him back. I'm sure the entire city is glad he's back. Not only is he a hell of a pass rusher, one of the best inside pass rushers in the game, but he's a hell of a run stopper, too."
Peko isn't too bad himself, having started every game the past four years.
Veteran defensive end Robert Geathers is returning from an elbow injury that limited him to just a pair of games last year, while Brandon Thompson slides back into a reserve role after filling in for the injured Atkins. Tackle Devon Still, a former second-round pick in 2012, is also looking to bounce back from injury.
LB: A number of Cincinnati's linebackers have had a lot to prove since entering the NFL and have done just that, including emerging star Vontaze Burfict.
Burfict has gone from undrafted out of Arizona State to a Pro Bowler, having shaken the stigma of being undisciplined and out of shape.
Cincinnati should see another undrafted starter in Emmanuel Lamur, who is penciled in at the strong side. Lamur brings a ton of athleticism and should be hungry after missing all of last year due to a shoulder injury suffered in the preseason.
"When he got hurt, I almost fainted," said defensive coordinator Paul Guenther, who served as Cincinnati's linebackers coach the previous two years before getting promoted.
"He's a young guy with things still to prove, but he had a real chance to expand his role last year, and it's the same situation this year. There's a lot of things you can do with him. He's very fast and agile for a 6-foot-4, 240-pound guy. He can play safety, he can cover tight ends."
Vincent Rey is another undrafted fixture in the lineup and should spell starter Rey Maualuga at times at middle linebacker.
Outside linebacker Jayson DiManche played every game last season after cracking the roster as a college free agent and is a key special teams contributor.
DB: The Bengals did a great job of balancing their desire to win now and stay competitive down the road, standing pat at No. 24 in the recent draft and selecting Michigan State product Darqueze Dennard, believed by some to be the best corner available in the draft.
Dennard will make his money as a man-coverage corner who isn't afraid to get physical at the line of scrimmage. He'll be eased into the rotation behind backups Dre Kirkpatrick and Adam Jones.
Cincinnati needed to upgrade at defensive back because Leon Hall is coming off his second career Achilles tear. He suffered an injury to his left Achilles in 2011, then tore the right one in Game 7 of last season.
Fellow starter Terence Newman, meanwhile, will be 36 this season and missed time last year with a knee injury.
Reggie Nelson returns at free safety, a spot he has held since late in 2010, and will continue to try and make the big hits, while George Iloka took over starting duties at strong safety late last season.
Taylor Mays and Shawn Williams are expected to back up, while Danieal Manning signed for added depth after missing time with Houston last season because of a knee injury.
SPECIAL TEAMS: Kicker Mike Nugent returns for his 10th season and fifth with the Bengals, while punter Kevin Huber is back in the mix after missing the last two games of the regular season and the Wild Card game due to an injury. He holds club records for gross punting average (44.2) and net average (39.1).
Both have been productive during their time with the Bengals along with long snapper Clark Harris.
Tate is the incumbent at returner, ranking sixth in the AFC last season in kickoff return average (26.1) and second in punt return average (9.3).
Manning, Adam Jones and Sanzenbacher can all contribute to the return game as well.
COACHING: Entering his 12th season, Lewis is the longest-tenured coach in team history and only New England's Bill Belichick has been with his team longer among active coaches.
Lewis is 90-85-1 in the regular season, but is still chasing that elusive playoff victory. Still, the franchise signed him to a one-year extension through 2015.
Jackson, a former head coach for Oakland in 2011, enters his third straight year on the Bengals coaching staff, while Guenther is in his 10th and is a Zimmer protege.
THE SKINNY: No more excuses for the Bengals, the time is now to win a playoff game.
That is the message that should be sent throughout the organization and things will get hot for Lewis should Cincinnati exit the postseason quickly once again.
The franchise also showed a lot of faith in Dalton despite his lack of postseason success, but expect 2014 to be the season that Cincinnati's young group breaks free of its learning curve and makes some noise in the playoffs.

If you are attending an Oscar party near your home or one of the parties after the Oscars you will want to use these tips to look your best, make a standout appearance and delight guests at a party invite with your celebrity style.
Take a cue from what the stars wore on the red carpet runways at the 2014 Golden Globe Awards and The SAG Awards. It's a guarantee that some of these color tones, fabrics and styles will transcend as well for casual and dressy fashion styles for 2014 going forward to spring.
Take cues from the stars such as Sarah Rafferty; seen at the Audi Golden Globes party in a fitted sleek red dress. Simple, elegant and sexy. Pair red dresses with black heels for the best impact. A modern deep blue asymmetrical gown worn by Amy Adams and designed by Antonio Berardi at the SAG awards on the red carpet was a bold look. Try searching out the color of this dress in a shorter version and pair with either a mustard yellow cropped cardigan sweater for a color blocking look. Pair this style with a black gemstone necklace for evening and some multi colored heels.
Black sequin dresses and red take center stage. High necks in black rhinestone worn as a sleeveless dress show skin from the arms instead of the cleavage. If you want to play it conservative, choose this elegant style for evening looks. Be bold with red and a deep plunging neckline dress mid- calf length for a party dress and those wanting to grab eye-popping attention. Wear a soft black coat over the dress that drapes no longer than the dress.
If you are attending a very casual party and want to look upscale in jeans you can pair them with some high heel sandals in black or red. A shoe with rhinestones or colored gemstones across the toe line will add some bling. A black jacket will look nice against a red or cream colored silky blouse. A heavy sequined sweater sans the jacket is another option. Add a rhinestone belt with the jeans to complete the look.
For the Oscar party evening handbag look go with a small evening handbag. If you skip the rhinestone belt with jeans, go with a rhinestone evening purse to complete the look. Glittery looks should be kept to two areas of the body for subtle impact.

A Twin Cities neighborhood action group is blaming big banks for costing Minneapolis schools millions in state funding. The group, Neighborhoods Organizing for Change(NOC), linked home foreclosures to per-pupil funding.
"Wells Fargo's share of what it costs the Minneapolis Public Schools is $28 million," said Steve Fletcher, Executive Director of NOC. "I would like to see Wells Fargo write a $28 million check to the Minneapolis Public Schools. That would be a really good start. I would also like to see them agree to mediation for everybody facing foreclosure and I would like to see them start thinking about writing down principal to really adjust where the market is."
The NOC report contends that Wells Fargo was responsible for more than 300 home foreclosures in Minneapolis in the last year. US Bank is linked to more than 200 foreclosures in the same time period. The NOC report also notes that Minneapolis schools lost an estimated 4,000 students since 2006 resulting in a loss of almost $150 million in state funding.

Steps taken for Roger Road sewer project
The council unanimously approved the resolution to initiate funding for preliminary engineering and outreach efforts for the Rogers Road sewer project.
Per the approval of the resolution, the public hearing on the Rogers Road sewer project will reconvene June 16.
"(This date) forces us to keep it on the agenda and to keep us making decisions and that's something we need to do right now," said Councilman Lee Storrow.
Since annexation isn't the goal of this proposed extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ) boundary expansion, the council wants other, more appropriate options.
"It's a means to an end, not the mechanism we want," said Councilwoman Sally Greene. "There are a lot of questions to work out. We need to think about the goal, focus on that and do what we can now."
"Chapel Hill has made a firm commitment," council member Donna Bell said. "The question isn't 'are we going to participate'. The question is 'how are going to participate'. If other options are available, we should consider them."
According to the Historic Rogers Road Task Force Final Report, sewer services for the 86 parcels in the neighborhood will cost an estimated $5.8 million with Chapel Hill and Orange County providing 43 percent each and Carrboro the remaining 14 percent.
The approved measures come with a price tag estimated between $160,000 and $180,000, covering several activities including surveying, sub-surfacing, conceptual layout, finding buried utilities, and keeping the community informed throughout the entire process.
"The recommendation allows us to start doing something," said Chapel Hill Town Manager Roger Stancil. "The outreach and the surveying will give the deeper information needed. Without that information, we don't know the costs or where lines can go."
Mayor Mark Kleinschmidt said that unlike tax dollars, the Community Development Block Grant funds being used have to adhere to very specific guidelines.
"It's about figuring out the mechanism for providing for that funding," he said.
Councilman George Cianciolo said that eight to 10 months is too far away for the continued public hearing, "but the information in June wouldn't be useful."
Cianciolo suggested that a meeting in early September that the board give the public an update on the work that's been done and "a clearer understanding of where we're going."
Storrow said that the council should "determine the mechanism for how the town will participate before we break for the summer" and believed that the town staff would be equipped prior to June 31 to look at optional mechanisms.
Stancil explained that the work approved by the council is necessary for any sort of development in the Rogers Road area regardless of when it's done.
Now that the council has approved it, Stancil said that the next step is for Orange County and Carrboro to consider the proposal and notify Orange Water and Sewer Authority by March 30 and for OWASA to issue a Request for Qualifications by June 1 with all of the work to be completed between October and December of this year.

Hundreds attend Walk for Women
HUNTINGTON -- The fall colors in Ritter Park got even more vibrant Sunday afternoon.
Yellow ponchos, green hoodies and rainbow-colored umbrellas were all used by the 300 to 400 walkers who braved the spitting rain Sunday for the 15th annual Walk for Women that raised money for the WV Breast and Cervical Cancer Diagnostic and Treatment Fund.
With a theme of "Take a Step Against Breast Cancer," the event started with rousing cheers from the Marshall University women's basketball team, who came out to support the three-mile walk that began at the 12th Street shelter and went to the Memorial Arch and back.
This was the last of five Walk for Women events that have been held around the Mountain State. Walks earlier this month were conducted in Man, Hamlin, Williamson and Point Pleasant.
"The day is dreary and cold, and words are not sufficient to thank all of you who've came out today on this yucky afternoon," said one of the organizers, Brenda Harlow, who coordinates breast and cervical cancer detection services in six counties. "Cancer doesn't care about the weather. It strikes anywhere."
Manda Gibson and Adrian Saunders were two "Mary's Maniacs" who showed up for the walk with their black T-shirts that read, "We Bleed Pink," worn in support of Gibson's aunt Mary Cooke, who has been battling breast cancer.
Cooke said she feels humbled and blessed to have such support from her family, her friends and church family at Mud River Baptist during her difficult journey.
"I was surprised that so many were here," Cooke said. "They have been my support. It's been amazing to have all the love and support from everybody. It's too bad that all of that love can't cure it."
At the walk, folks could further support the fund through a gift basket silent auction, and folks could sign an American Cancer Society petition that asks Congress not to cut funding for breast and cervical cancer tests.
Harlow said she is losing her job as coordinator after December after Congress cut federal funding to West Virginia's Breast and Cervical Cancer Diagnostic and Treatment Fund by $500,000 this year.
"We screen thousands of women every year, underserved women who are between 25 and 64 and who are below the 200 percent of poverty guidelines," Harlow said.
You can find out more about the fund and the group at www.wvwalkforwomen.org or visit the WV Walk for Women event page on Facebook.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month events continue for the next few days.
From 6 to 10 p.m. Monday, Oct. 29, The New Hits 97.9 and Backyard Pizza and Raw Bar are hosting Tips for Tatas in conjunction with Breast Cancer Awareness Month for breast cancer research for the American Cancer Society.
Seventy percent of all food sales will go to breast cancer research, and the New Hits 97.9 on-air personalities will be greeting, hosting, serving food and bussing tables that evening. Live music will be provided by Sean and Shaun, and all of their tips will also go to breast cancer awareness.
Tips for Tatas will take place from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. Monday, Oct. 29, at Backyard Pizza and Raw Bar, 841 4th Ave., in downtown Huntington.

To the Editor:
A Solemn Assembly, for such a time as this, is being called for by a National Day of Prayer (NDP) Task Force in Washington, D.C, from Oct. 3-7.
This special five-day prayer gathering, based on Psalm 50:1-6 focuses on all institutions of our government within Washington D.C. and includes outdoor, corporate worship near the steps of the Capitol as well as at the base of the Washington Monument. Groups will meet with various Congressional leaders, travel to the Pentagon, Supreme Court and many other key locations to pray. All are invited to join with other open-minded believers for this special and unique time of prayer and worship in our nation's capital.
The NDP Task Force reminds us as citizens of the USA who have grown up pledging allegiance as "one nation under God" and have had an ever present reminder imprinted on our currency that it is "In God We Trust" to rally Americans and call upon the God who still rules and reigns over our country. (Amos 4:13).
This five-day summons also reflects the urgency of the moment and prompting of God who has paved the way for us to stand in the gap on behalf of all Americans, perhaps as Moses did for Israel. (Exodus 32, Psalm 106)
Beginning in September, the Task Force is also issuing a challenge to like-minded believers to pray for America and encourage others around them to seek the Lord on a deeper level, commit to pray with family members, a prayer group or church members.
The website, www.Commit2Pray.com is also available.

I was surprised when Steve Alford announced he was leaving for UCLA. I would be even more surprised if UNM Vice President for Athletics Paul Krebs didn't name Craig Neal the next UNM head coach.
I don't see any candidate out there that would make more sense for the program right now.
Neal was promoted to interim head coach to help keep the ship afloat while the search is underway. Neal was with the Lobos for the last six years and played a big role in UNM's success.
"Coach Neal is ready," said Steve Alford. "He's got an incredible basketball mind. Of all the people I've ever worked with or been around, nobody knows the game of basketball more than he does and he knows our team. He knows the climate and knows the culture of UNM. He knows what it's like to walk down the ramp at the Pit and he knows what it's like to organize a basketball team in a lot of different ways. I would highly endorse him because I think he's ready. I think the fans would respond to him and I think the boosters would respond to him."
Alex Kirk has said thee's a good chance of the team staying intact if Neal were named the head coach. The Lobos return all five starters and will be a pre-season top 25 team this year. Don't you want to keep the group together?
Kansas State had Bob Huggins leave them high and dry for West Virginia. The school replaced Huggins with his assistant Frank Martin and Martin took Kansas State deeper than Huggins. My point being, sometimes there's a lot to be said for continuity and familiarity.
Ever heard of a guy named Mark Few at Gonzaga? He went from associate head coach to Dan Monson's replacement and he had the Zags as a #1 team this year.
Tom Izzo went from associate head coach at Michigan State to Jud Heathcote's replacement and he's one of the top head coaches in college basketball.
Those are just three examples of how elevating an associate head coach can turn out to be successful.
Despite just keeping Neal because he already has keys to the place, the guy can coach. Have you seen the Lobos during any timeout during a game? He's as involved as any assistant I've seen.
Krebs did not have a timetable for naming a new head coach, but I would guess it's sooner rather than later. In 10 days the coaching staff can go back out and make in person recruiting visits. That's going to be difficult to do if you don't have a permanent head coach in place. If Neal isn't named the permanent man in charge, he will be Alford's assistant/associate head coach at UCLA.
Krebs doesn't have to go far to find the next head coach of UNM. He's already in the office.

"Gavin Templeton has captured another alluring vision of the ever-evolving sound of L.A." - Chris Barton, Los Angeles Times
Gavin Templeton - alto saxophoneRichard Giddens - bassGene Coye - drums
Gavin Templeton is a Los Angeles based saxophonist and composer. He "has become a pivotal force in the L.A. progressive jazz scene" says Glenn Astarita of All About Jazz. Labeled as a "Los Angeles alto saxophone phenomenon" by Robert Bush of the San Diego Reader, Templeton always plays with tenacity, virtuosity and fire. Josef Woodard of DownBeat Magazine says, "Templeton boasts an assured yet adventurous voice, sometimes with nods to Ornette Coleman and Henry Threadgill."
Templeton's jazz trio embarks on a west coast tour this December. With Templeton on alto saxophone, Richard Giddens on bass and Gene Coye on drums - each a virtuoso in his own right - this group of young bucks play with fearless energy, extraordinary sensitivity, and a maturity far beyond their years. Templeton has performed and/or recorded with the likes of Charlie Haden, Wayne Shorter, Vinny Golia, and Joe LaBarbera. This past November, he went into the studio with Nels Cline to record on the guitar genius' most recent album. Giddens, an exhilaratingly enthusiastic bassist exudes a raw gritty spirit on his instrument. He has performed with Larry Goldings, Robert Glasper, and STOMP. Coye, the illustrious left coast powerhouse drummer has made his mark on the world music scene touring and performing with Carlos Santana, Larry Carlton, Stanley Clarke, and Christian Scott. The trio's music mixes beautifully soaring melodies with dynamic rhythmic drive, taking the listener on a musical safari of sonic exploration.
Gurri Sonic, a 22-piece chamber orchestra, which brings together some of the most creative improvisers in Los Angeles such as Daniel Rosenboom, Phil O'connor, Daniel Szabo, Justo Almario, Eric KM Clark, and Gavin Templeton among many others. Gurri Sonic performs genre-bending original music, pushing the boundaries of instrumentation and style with a mix of spoken word, poetry, multi-media, and singer–songwriter work, framed by through-composed orchestral landscapes with tinges of avant-garde, jazz, and classical contemporary music.
Jose Gurria
Los Angeles-based drummer/composer Jose "Gurri" Gurria, holds a BM from Berklee College of Music, and an MM and DMA in Jazz Studies from the Thornton School of Music at the University of Southern California (USC). Gurri's many projects have taken him to China, Singapore, Indonesia, Brazil, Holland, Germany, Peru, Cuba, USA, Mexico, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Paraguay, and Guatemala. As drummer/percussionist, he has played with Peter Erskine, Robert Gupta, Howard Alden, Putter Smith, Vardan Osvepian, Miguel Atwood-Ferguson, Mark Ferber, Moira Smiley, Dorian Wood, Mark DeClive Lowe, She-e-Wu, Daniel Rosenboom, Root System, Ciaramella, and Victor Goines. With the USC Thornton Jazz Orchestra he has played with The Yellowjackets, Michael Mossman, and Maria Schneider.
Gurri is founder of numerous progressive new music ensembles: Ethos Trio, Third Root Consort, Jazztec, and Jose Gurria Quartet. Gurri's current focus is with Gurri Sonic, a 24-piece chamber orchestra, which brings together some of the most creative improvisers in Los Angeles such as Phil O'connor, Daniel Szabo, Justo Almario, Eric KM Clark, and Gavin Templeton among many others. Gurri Sonic performs genre-bending original music, pushing the boundaries of instrumentation and style with a mix of spoken word, poetry, multi-media, and singer–songwriter work, framed by through-composed orchestral landscapes with tinges of avant-garde, jazz, and classical contemporary music.
Gurri has recently been recognized as a composer/arranger of note, by the Jazz Education Network for the year 2013.
Sabian cymbals, Remo drum-heads, and Sibelius (Avid) are sponsors of Gurri's career.
The Michael Mull Octet is a chameleon ensemble of emerging Los Angeles talent. Performing the original works of composer/multi-instrumentalist Michael Mull, this group explores a soundscape of cinematic colors, deep-seated groove, fiery improvisations, and yearning melody that ranges from sweet and nostalgic to crushing and electrifying.
FeaturingMichael Mull – Alto Saxophone, Clarinet, Bass ClarinetFrank Silva – Tenor Saxophone, Soprano SaxophoneHarrison Kirk – Trombone and Bass TromboneWill Wulfeck – TromboneTim Fischer – GuitarsGreg Uhlmann – GuitarsEmilio Terranova – Double-bassMike Lockwood – Drums and percussion
"I formed the Michael Mull Octet in 2011 with a goal of tapping into some musical influences and directions that hadn't truly had an outlet in my own writing and playing, and to occupy a space that I felt was missing in the musical landscape.
I grew up listening to classic rock from the 60's, 70's and 80's. As I grew in years and in music, I continued to Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk, Pantera and Meshuggah, to electronic film scores by Ulver, to Björk, to Bulgarian women's choirs. This music all means so much to me, and is so varied, I have always looked for ways to distill and filter what I love about each sound into my own music. The Octet has been the most successful attempt at this synthesis – the result is intensely personal music, but presented in a way that I hope can connect the listener to their own experiences and thoughts in a meaningful way.
I selected the musicians for the Octet carefully. They each have a unique sound and are strong voices as soloists, but they also have the musical sensitivity to play as an ensemble. The music I write for the group is extremely intricate at times, and more visceral at others, and the careful balance of each part is essential to a successful performance. The musical "responsibility" is great – I trust these fine performers to play all the music, written and unwritten.
As we prepare to go into the studio in February 2014 to record our first album, I feel very honored to be at the helm of the Michael Mull Octet. Each composition continues to become greater than its' original conception through the dedication and artistry of the players. It is my hope to highlight the talents of each of my amazing colleagues, and create a listening experience that the listener can take into themselves and return to again and again, discovering more layers, feeling more of the physical and spiritual motion of the music each time. Let's see what you can find."
— Michael Mull

The Apartment Homes Fake Book by Eron Rauch is a fractured account of love, loss, and photographic memory created during recovery years after the 2008 economic crash. Taking the form of a large-format photocopy manuscript, the disjointed and idiosyncratic mix of personal, found, and urban landscape images waver in a toner-stained haze of instability. Released in July 2015 by Orenda Records, this 92 page, staple-bound 11x17" book is the cumulation of an artistic dialog that with musician and composer Daniel Rosenboom that started with the 2014 album Fire Keeper.
