The Season is upon us…
We realize that you are not receiving this holiday newsletter until after Thanksgiving. However, we also believe that there is a reason that Thanksgiving officially begins the holiday season leading up to Christmas. So, let's all remember to give thanks. May each of you be blessed as we have been blessed by you.
As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.
- John Fitzgerald Kennedy
Psalm 100
A Psalm of Praise and Thanksgiving
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord all ye lands.
Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing.
Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; be thankful unto him, and bless his name.
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
The unthankful heart … discovers no mercies, but let the thankful heart sweep through the day and, as the magnet finds the iron, so it will find, in every hour, some heavenly blessings!
- Henry Ward Beecher
Speaking of being Thankful…
In our busy, busy lives, how often do we take the time to stop and really count our blessings? For some of us, it may be part of our daily routine to express our thankfulness for all that we have. For others, we may wait until special occasions or special holidays, such as, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
As I have gotten older, I have become more aware of all that I have been given in life and just how little I would have had it not been for the generosity of others, including family, friends, present and past acquaintances, and even total strangers.
I have also realized as I have gotten older how much things have changed over time. We, as a society, teach and preach independence; take care of number one; asking for help is a sign of weakness; and so on and so forth. I recall a point in my life where I tended to think the same way. I thought I had to do everything myself and on my own or else I was a failure.
Boy, did I ever need a wake-up call!! And finally, after a lot of not-so-wise choices made while I was sleepwalking through this land of ignorance, I woke up! Thank Goodness!!!
This is the Truth that I have come to realize over time…If it was not for my family (and "family" includes blood-related and heart-related), I would have nothing meaningful in this world. And, to be honest, most of the material things I have in my life were also given to me by someone else.
In last year's holiday newsletter, I wrote that my year could be summed up with the word "transition." Well, as I wrap up this year, I find that I am transitioning still. So, this word still applies, but my real word for this year, 2011, is thankful. I am so thankful for every minute of every day of 2011, because even on the darkest days, I still saw the Light. I still saw the blessings in the moment; an opportunity to learn and grow.
Does this mean that I walked through those moments with the grace that I should have? Absolutely not, because I am still human, after all. But, when I took the time to look around me during those dark times and afterward, when the rain had stopped, I saw God's grace all around me.
As you and yours enter into this holiday season and begin your walk through 2012, I pray that you will take the time daily to acknowledge the blessings around you and be thankful. And, always know, you never have to walk through any valley alone; your YU family is always right here to walk with you. And, lastly, for those of you who have walked with me this year, I thank you for the privilege of your presence.
Merry Christmas and God bless each and every one you!!
Consider yourself hugged!!! Tammie
Decide to accept the path God has given you with courage, grace, and humor.
- Luci Swindoll
Glory to God in the highest!
Luke 2:14
-the following has been borrowed from Our Daily Bread devotions for December 25, 2011
During our church's Christmas celebration, I watched the choir members assemble in front of the congregation while the music director rifled through papers on a slim black stand. The instruments began, and the singers launched into a well-known song that started with these words: "Come, now is the time to worship."
Although I expected to hear a time-honored Christmas carol, I smiled at the appropriate choice of music. Earlier that week I had been reading Luke's account of Jesus' birth, and I noticed that the first Christmas lacked our modern-day parties, gifts, and feasting – but it did include worship.
After the angel announced Jesus' birth to some wide-eyed shepherds, a chorus of angels began "praising God and saying: 'Glory to God in the highest!'" (Luke 2:13-14). The shepherds responded by running to Bethlehem where they found the newborn King lying in a barnyard bassinet. They returned to their fields "glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen" (v. 20). Coming face to face with the Son inspired the shepherds to worship the Father.
Today, consider your response to Jesus' arrival on earth. Is there room for worship in your heart on this day that celebrates his birth? -Jennifer Benson Schuldt
Grant us, Father, hearts of worship
At this time of Jesus' birth;
We would see anew His glory
Shine throughout this sin-cursed earth.
- D. De Haan
Heaven's choir came down to sing
when heaven's King came down to save.
From the Director's Desk…
Seasons Greetings, Fabulous Foster Families,
2011 was my first full year with Youth Unlimited and serving as your Program Director. As I reflect on the year, I can truly say we have been through our seasons of sunny and stormy weather as a program. For me, the sunny times have outshined the storms we have roughed and survived. This year we had more MAPP attendees/graduates than ever before in one year. I was able to mail out a check to every single foster parent in the month of April because there was a child placed in every home the month of February. We had two families adopt through fostering with our program. We were able to get Renda back as a Case Manager! So many wonderful milestones come to my mind and definitely outweigh any of the negative situations that hit our program. I am so thankful for how God is working in our program and to see so many of you growing as foster parents! Thank you for all you do and the care you give our children! We couldn't do it without you! Please have a wonderful and blessed holiday season.
Remember Jesus is the reason for the season!
Many Blessings,
You possess a tremendous capacity to convert your old wounds, as well as the old wounds of others, into brilliant opportunities.
- Dennis Fairchild
A look at what has been going on and what is coming up in 2012…
As Bethany mentioned, in 2011 we had the two largest MAPP classes EVER in the history of our program! Pretty amazing, don't you think??!!
And, our most recent training for our currently licensed folks was the HIV Basic Training that was held on November 5th. We had a good turn out for a Saturday morning and we appreciate everyone who attended. There were some great questions and discussions and hopefully the group left with some valuable and useful information. If you have not attended this training, you need to plan now to participate in the next one. There is a lot of misinformation floating around today about HIV and, as professionals working with children, you need to know the facts!!
Our next big event will be January 31st, 2012 when we have our next MAPP Open House. Start thinking now about who you can recruit into our fostering family.
***If you bring a perspective TFC family to Open House your name will go in a drawing for a $25 gift card.
***Names of all perspective families present will also go in a drawing for a $25 gift card.
And, don't forget, you can receive up to $350 when you recruit a new foster parent into our program. Pretty easy money and who couldn't use a few extra dollars??
We haven't quite completed the rest of our training calendar for 2012, but we'll have that out very soon. Please mark your calendars AND call to register for these upcoming classes as soon as you are given notice. As many of you know first-hand, it is so much easier to stay on track with in-service than it is to get on track with in-service.
Stay tuned for further info about this!!
Think about this…
Coming in 2012 we, as a program, are going to take a more active role in encouraging our foster parents to take advantage of respite. This valuable service is provided primarily to give the foster parents a break, a mini-vacation, if you will.
If the child is able to visit with the same respite foster parent on an ongoing basis, this can be a wonderful time for the child too. As we all know, the children in our care need positive role models in their lives. Being a respite provider for the same child every 4 – 6 weeks gives the child an opportunity to build another positive connection (one of your 12 skills!) and add to their support system.
Another advantage of respite for the foster parent is that you, too, will be building a new connection with a fellow foster parent who understands the stressors that go along with being a successful foster parent.
You make be wondering why we are considering this. The truth is that we are looking at what we can do to provide ongoing support to you so that you stay excited and committed to fostering. In other words, we're trying to prevent burnout and discouragement that often goes with being a foster parent. To be frank, we don't want to lose you. We think all of you are wonderfully, gifted individuals with huge hearts for children or else you would not be doing this in the first place!
You may recall the mandatory training that we had back in September called "You said WHAT??!!" about effective communication. If so, then you will remember that the main reason the meeting was held was because an allegation of abuse had been made against one of our fabulous foster parents by a former client. Even though the allegation was unsubstantiated, it still took a toll on the foster parent and has given her pause as to whether or not she wants to continue fostering.
We are very sad to say that another allegation has been made by a client against one of our other equally fabulous foster parents. This case is still under investigation. And, even though we fully expect this allegation to be unsubstantiated, there is still the process to go through and the foster family has already begun questioning whether or not they want another child placed in their home.
We fully understand the questions, the concerns, and the mixed emotions that arise from such a situation. We get that this is very personal to you. Your character, integrity, and name are being looked at under a microscope even more closely than usual. We also realize that children say all sorts of things, especially when they are bombarded with the same questions over and over again by numerous people.
Please remember that we are your number one support system. Dig out the handouts that you were given in the recent training and review them; especially the one that you received about what to do if an allegation is made against you.
Also remember that accurate and complete daily documentation is CRITICAL!!! We appreciate that you are very busy and that keeping that daily journal can be a real pain. We get that. BUT, it is a vital part of your job as a foster parent and it can play a huge role if any type of questions comes up. Also, for those of you who have traditional children placed in your home and are not required to do daily documentation, a piece of advice to you…buy a notebook and keep notes anyway. As we all know, there are lots of kids who should be authorized therapeutic that are traditional.
How else can we help you? If you have suggestions, please let us know? If you feel like you are reaching a boiling point, please don't wait until you boil over to call us. We are a family and families are supposed to help each other out, right?
Think about this too…
One of our newest foster parents stated that she would like there to be an opportunity for her and her family to meet and get to know the other foster families in our program. I asked her to be thinking about what that looked like to her. How should we go about that? Do you guys have any suggestions? Are any of you interested in starting up the Foster Parent Support Group again? If so, how would we set that up? Would you be interested in something like a quarterly pot-luck for our families to come and hang out for a couple of hours? Maybe have a meal and play family-friendly games or something? Think about it and let me hear from you!!! Thanks!! Tammie

Tulane University is separating 243 full-time staff members effective Nov. 15.
Tulane has made some strategic decisions in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina to ensure the continued academic success and financial well-being of the university. This strategy necessitates a reduction in workforce and it is the first step in a long-term plan for the future.
The 243 affected employees will be paid through Nov. 15 and will be notified both by mail and by a personal phone call from their direct supervisor. They will also be paid for any vacation accrued and will be eligible for re-hiring as future employment openings occur.
The children of affected employees will continue to receive tuition waivers to attend Tulane as long as the student is currently enrolled at Tulane and pursues full-time uninterrupted enrollment at the university.
The layoffs are the first personnel action that affects full-time Tulane employees. Previously the university terminated part-time faculty and staff, as well as temporary employees. Effective October 31 more part-time employees will be terminated.
For more information click here.
The following employees will continue to receive pay checks from Tulane University:
Those who will be paid for November and whose future pay status will be continually evaluated:
All faculty, staff and graduate students who remain on the university payroll may be called upon by the university to perform regular or special duties as needed. Refusal to perform these duties will result in termination of pay or recoupment of payments actually made. The university assumes that all faculty, staff and graduate students will be resuming work as soon as possible. Therefore, all conflict of interest and commitment policies remain in effect.
Those who will be terminated effective October 31, 2005:
Staff Employees Vacation/Sick Leave Policy (effective November 1, 2005)
Effective November 1, only those staff employees who have been specifically requested by their supervisor to return to work and who are actively working their regular work schedule will receive regular pay. All other staff employees will be required to use accrued vacation or sick leave (in that order) until the university resumes full-scale operations. A phased return to work schedule is being finalized.
Staff employees who exhaust or do not have accrued vacation or sick leave will receive pre-paid vacation pay until the university resumes full-scale operations. Pre-paid vacation accruals will be offset against future vacation or similar personal leave accruals. In the event an employee receives pay for pre-paid vacation leave and his employment with the university terminates for any reason, the employee will be required to reimburse the university for the pre-paid vacation leave. The university reserves the right to deduct the unearned vacation pay from the employee's final paycheck, to the fullest extent permitted by law. Employees may be required to provide a written authorization for such deductions in order to receive pre-paid vacation pay.
Examples to illustrate the change in the vacation and sick leave policies.
Overtime Pay Policy (effective 8/27/05)
While the university remains closed to students, it is open to employees who might be deemed necessary to restore campus operations. As such, employees returning to work who are paid hourly will be compensated at the regular rate of pay for their regular work week (37.5 or 40 hours). Compensation will be calculated at one and one half times the employee's rate of pay for all hours worked beyond a regular work week.
Questions regarding job duties and schedules should be directed to the employee's supervisor or the supervisor responsible for the task the employee is being asked to perform.
Those who were terminated effective September 30, 2005 and August 29, 2005:

Gooey Buns is precisely the kind of release for which the Best Anal-Themed Series Award was designed - and should garner this volume an easy pre-nom. (Lack of male IDs creates an unnecessary disadvantage.)
Since virtually all the scenes are identical in content, creativity isn't much of an issue. Sineplex (both the company and the director) have focused their laser beam on quality cornholing, and the results are fairly spectacular.
The basic rundown presents two hot Euro-sluts engaged in assplay with massive butt toys, followed by two or more peckerholders, who proceed to stack 'n slam the girls silly. After enough A2M action, gapes and reinsertions to fill a dozen other titles, said studs cream the upturned buns. Finally, the girls felch out the funky spunk (saving enough for a shared jizz kiss).

I had an older cat the couldn't use his hind legs. His name was BB. Gosh he was so sweet. He'd cuddle and made you feel better if you were sad and whenever I told him I was gonna give him a kiss - he'd literally come closer to me and put his head a few inches away from my lips so I could kiss him. He was sweet. And I had a Labrador named Angel. She was sweet and a big lug, but I loved her. I'm a single chick and I'm happy!

On January 27, 1945, Soviet forces liberated the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp, discovering the largest
Nazi killing center in Europe. Auschwitz has become a symbol of the Holocaust,
representing the depths of man's inhumanity to man.
In November 2005, the United
Nations passed a resolution to mark January 27 as an international
day of commemoration to honor the victims of the Holocaust, and urged
member states to develop educational programs to impart the memory of this
tragedy to future generations. Eighteen governments have legislated January 27
as an annual Holocaust Memorial Day and Holocaust remembrance ceremonies will be
organized on the international, national, regional and local levels, including
in universities and schools.
The 2013 observance of the International Day of Commemoration in memory of the
victims of the Holocaust is built around the theme "Rescue
during the Holocaust: The Courage to Care", honoring those who risked
their own lives to save Jews and others from near certain death under the Nazi
regime during the Second World War in Europe.
"Whoever Saves a Single Life … Rescuers of Jews During the
This exhibit showcases some of those rare but exceedingly
important instances where people fought to safeguard their Jewish fellow
citizens during the Holocaust. In a time of overwhelming death and destruction,
rescuers did not stand by silently. Their bravery shows us that people are able
to make choices and act on them, even in the face of powerful constraints,
offering us a lesson on the universal value of the preservation of human life,
human dignity, and human rights.
The exhibit has been produced by The Jewish Foundation for the
Righteous and will be on view until 18 February 2013.
Film Screening and Panel Discussion of "The Rescuers"
This documentary film by Emmy award-winning
filmmaker Michael King chronicles the heroic efforts of a dozen diplomats who
used the powers and privileges tied to their postings throughout Europe to save
the lives of tens of thousands of Jews during the Second World War. These 12
individuals - from a Muslim Turk stationed in Greece to a Japanese envoy posted
in Kaunas, Lithuania - took enormous personal risks to their lives and
livelihoods to help others in dire circumstances.
"The Rescuers" is told through the eyes of Stephanie Nyombayire, an activist
who lost members of her family in the 1994 Rwanda genocide, and pre-eminent
historian Sir Martin Gilbert, who lost family members in the Holocaust. As they
travel across 15 countries and three continents interviewing survivors and
descendants of the rescuers, they explore the mystery of goodness in the face of
Among those featured in the film are German diplomat and Nazi party member
Georg F. Duckwitz in Copenhagen; Varian Fry and Hiram Bingham from the United
States in Marseilles; Japanese Consul Chiune Sugihara; the Dutchman Jan
Zwartendijk in Kaunas; Turkish Consul Selahattin Ülkümen in Rhodes; British
Captain Frank Foley in Berlin; Polish diplomat Henryk Slawik in Budapest;
Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg, who helped coordinate the rescue efforts in
Budapest in 1944 with Archbishop Angelo Rotta, representative of the Vatican;
Consul Carl Lutz of Switzerland; and Aristides de Sousa Mendes, the Portuguese
Consul stationed in Bordeaux, who issued visas in defiance of his Government's
orders, allowing the safe passage of Jews to Portugal. Princess Alice,
grandmother of the Prince of Wales, is also recognized for hiding a Jewish
family in her Athens palace.
The screening is organized by the United Nations Holocaust Programme in partnership with the
United States Mission to the United Nations and the Sousa Mendes

10 movies we want to see at Comic-Con 2012
Will fans get a peek at 'Django Unchained,' 'Star Trek 2' and 'SkyFall'?
The Watch
Potential talent: Akiva Schaffer, Jonah Hill, Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Billy Crudup, Richard Ayoade, Will Forte, R. Lee Ermey, Doug Jones, Jorma Taccone, Seth Rogen, Evan Goldberg
Why: Ben Stiller's never done Comic-Con before, and it seems like this would be the best possible moment for him to do it. After all, he's got a great cast with him, including Hill, Vaughn, and fan favorites like R. Lee Ermey and Doug "Abe Sapien" Jones. This is a science-fiction comedy, something that the studio didn't even hint at in the first trailer. Now that they've had to change the title in response to real-world tragedy, they need to really cement the title in the minds of the fanboy audience, and bringing out that awesome roster of comedy talent, including screenwriters Goldberg and Rogen, would go a long way to making this an event for an audience that seems primed for this sort of film. Besides, if they do a panel, there's a good chance I'll finally learn how to say "Ayoade."
Chances of happening: 40%

Today I'm grateful for old friends. Perhaps because I moved so much as a child and a young adult, I have very few friends from my adolescence. And none, really, from my childhood. No one who knew me in elementary or middle school, for instance. Only a few who knew me in my 20s. So I'm very grateful for my friends, and rarely take any of you for granted.
I always worry that I'm not a good friend. That I talk too much, or don't remember birthdays, or go off on politics & poetry too often. Except w/ my friend Gary, the closest I have to a brother.
He was my first friend at university when I returned for summer classes. He introduced me to my husband. I fixed him up w/ each of my sisters in turn, hoping one would 'take.' We even tried to get our parents together, following messy divorces!
So today, when this old friend — the closest I have to a brother — came to see us with his wonderful wife, and their three beautiful, smart, funny daughters in tow, I was in heaven. For the entire afternoon, the deck was filled with laughing girls and old friends. With the seven of us. And more tomorrow! Who wouldn't be grateful?
But I'm also grateful that this old friend — actually these two old friends, as Gary's wife Alayna is very dear to me, too — still loves so many of the things we loved in our younger time together. Our politics, our spiritual beliefs, even our child-rearing strategies harmonise beautifully. All the more to be valued as we've not lived in the same city for decades…
Something there is about people who have known you for decades… Something very precious. And when you know you'd like them if you met them today, just as you did then? That's all the more to be thankful for…

What do you think is the best looking kit? Why?
Will you pre-order it?
IMO, the halberds look much better than the great weapons, and the shield variant is better than the two weapon type. Honestly, the halberds and shields are about tied, but I'm preordering the shields because I believe they'll see more tabletop use.

Conference USA Adds Five New Members
May 4, 2012
IRVING, Texas - University of North Carolina at Charlotte (Charlotte), Florida International University (FIU), Louisiana Tech University, University of North Texas and University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) have finalized comprehensive membership agreements with Conference USA, Commissioner Britton Banowsky announced today.
"We are excited about adding these new members as part of our bold strategy that focuses on growing institutions in large media markets," Banowsky said. "There is a tremendous upside here. This is an opportunity for us to add a mixture of established and emerging programs. We also remain committed to divisional scheduling models that are student-athlete and fan-friendly. The more we analyzed it, the more it made sense."
Check out today's live press conferences:
Each new member will join the league in all sports for 2013, Charlotte will begin conference participation in football in 2015. The metro area population of these schools is nearly 18 million. Existing members include East Carolina University, Marshall University, Rice University, University of Southern Mississippi, Tulane University, The University of Tulsa, University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) and University of Texas El Paso (UTEP). Divisions will be set in the near future and the Conference intends to continue hosting its Football Championship game.
Conference USA and the Mountain West will continue to discuss a future affiliation that could begin as early as 2013. Both Conferences agreed that adding membership at this time was important and have carefully coordinated new membership plans. Additional expansion remains a possibility.
"The discussions with the Mountain West are ongoing," Banowsky added. "What form the relationship will take is still to be determined, but both remain committed to working together."
"The Presidents and Chancellors of Conference USA universities are pleased to welcome these five distinguished institutions to C-USA," said Dr. Scott Cowen, Tulane University president and Chair of Conference USA's Board of Directors. "Conference USA has always operated in a way that reflects the values of higher education and works very hard to balance the athletics and academic interests of its student-athletes at the highest level. These institutions clearly share those values."
Here is a quick look at the five new members of Conference USA:

In light of today's statement from The Wolfslair regarding the actions of UK star Michael Bisping and the conduct of Jorge Rivera's camp, Lex McMahon, Jorge Rivera's manager, has hit back via MMAJunkie.com:
Mr. McMahon said the following:
"A professional fighter knows better. He secured a Muay Thai clinch on Rivera while both of his knees were on the ground, chambered his leg, and threw the strike. A professional fighter knows when to pull the trigger on a strike and when not to, so the statement that it was unintentional is baseless."

Blue gets a bad reputation when it comes to removal, when in reality it receives a plethora of spells that act like removal, even if the creature doesn't exactly die right away. Pin to the Earth from Wizards of the Coast's expert "Magic: The Gathering" expansion set "Journey Into Nyx" is one of those cards.
Pin to the Earth - 1U
Enchantment - Aura (Common)
Enchant creature
Enchanted creature gets -6/-0.
"Mortal strength, like mortal hope, is so easily crushed."
-Thassa, god of the sea
Pin to the Earth isn't as glamorous or funny to cast compared to say Turn to Frog. Now that's style. While Pin to the Earth won't prevent your opponent's threat from dealing damage like Armament of Nyx can, for the vast majority of time it has pretty much the same affect.
Pin to the Earth doesn't do anything like it's name suggests, and we're disappointed by its effect. After enchanting an opponent's Dawnbringer Charioteers or Master of the Feast, there's no way they should be able to block that Gray Merchant of Asphodel we've stolen with Hypnotic Siren. It should remove flying. Complete flavor fail. Earthbind shakes its head in sad disapproval.
Pin to the Earth won't be the break out card of the next standard pro tour, however it will be an important aura in limited and is a budget player's friend.
How will you use Pin to the Earth?

Love. Four simple letters, that when combined, create a word defining a lifelong quest. Love scales the biggest obstacles in our lives and affords us the richest experiences. It is among the few things that unite us globally and music offers the stage in which to celebrate it.
Modern day music icon, Justin Timberlake has released a steady string of nostalgic and romantic love songs over the last 18 months. His new hit single, "Not A Bad Thing" articulates the risk you sometimes have to take when falling head first into love with lyrics that plead:
So don't act like it's a bad thing to fall in love with me, 'cause you might look around and find your dreams come true, with me."
For his video release of the song, he is looking to make more than just a few lovers' dreams come true, though. He might just make one of yours a reality. He has asked fans to share their love stories, as well as how the song has impacted his audience in their individual journeys to find love.
To submit your story, click this link. You will then be prompted to sign into your Instagram account where you can post a photo or video. Include 1-2 sentences about it using the hashtag #NotABadLoveStory. Timberlake will review the entries and feature his favorite submissions in his new music video for "Not A Bad Thing." Who knows, maybe your story will be featured in Timberlake's new video!

Head Coach Larry Brown
INDIANAPOLIS - The [25/23] SMU men's basketball team received a No. 1 seed in the 2014 National Invitation Tournament and will face 8th-seeded UC Irvine on Wednesday at Moody Coliseum, the tournament committee announced on Sunday night. SMU and UC Irvine will tip at 8 p.m. CT on Wednesday on ESPN2. Tickets for Wednesday's game will go on sale Monday morning on SMUMustangs.com.
SMU earned its 15th postseason trip, and its third bid to the NIT on Sunday night, with its two previous NIT visits coming in 1986 and 2000.
The Mustangs enter the tournament with a 23-9 record, its most since the 1987-88 campaign (28 wins). SMU was 4-3 against ranked opponents in the regular season, its first season with four wins over ranked opponents since SMU defeated four in the 1955-56 season. The Mustangs went 4-5 against teams that earned berths in the 2014 NCAA Championships. SMU got as high as No. 18 in the nation in both polls this season, marking its first spot in the AP Poll since 1985, and its first trip in the USA Today Coaches' Poll in program history.
SMU finished the regular season with a 15-1 home record, including a 9-1 mark in the renovated Moody Coliseum. The Mustangs sold out seven games, including each of the last six.
UC Irvine won the Big West regular season title (13-3) and enters the NIT with a 23-11 record.
On Feb. 27, SMU head coach Larry Brown was named a finalist for the Henry Iba National Coach of the Year award given by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association. Brown was named the District VII Coach of the Year by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association on March 11.
SMU finished conference play in the inaugural season of the American Athletic Conference with 12 wins, its most conference wins since it had 12 in the Southwest Conference in 1992-93. SMU's third place finish was the program's best since finishing third in the 2002-03 Western Athletic Conference standings.
The winner of the SMU and UC Irvine will take on the winner of No. 4 San Francisco and No. 5 LSU in the second round of the NIT (Friday-Monday).

Although over two weeks old, I found this wonderful article to be quite interesting and psychologically perceptive. One of my favorite moments during my many trips to London was discovering a cafe "The Charles Dickens" next to the Bow Street Royal Opera House which Dickens used to have his coffee at.
by John Gray
As Christmas approaches, so Charles Dickens begins to seep once again into TV and theatre schedules. I have my own theory about the reason for his cultural longevity. Listen to this:
"There was a man who, though not more than thirty, had seen the world in divers irreconcilable capacities – had been an officer in a South American regiment among other odd things – but had not achieved much in any way of life, and was in debt, and in hiding. He occupied chambers of the dreariest nature in Lyons Inn; his name, however, was not up on the door, or door-post, but in lieu of it stood the name of a friend who had died in the chambers, and had given him the furniture. The story arose out of the furniture… "
The story Dickens goes on to tell recounts how the failed adventurer finds a heap of old furniture in the cellar of his lodgings. Finding his rooms bare and cheerless, he borrows a writing-table, then a bookcase, then a couch and a rug, and soon has all of the furniture in his chambers. Some years later there is a knock on his door. A tall, red-nosed shabby-genteel man in a threadbare black coat enters the room and, pointing to each item of furniture, mutters: "Mine".
The adventurer offers his visitor a drink, which the visitor gladly accepts. An hour later the visitor leaves, having consumed an entire decanter of gin, falling twice as he stumbles down the stairs. "Whether he was a ghost," Dickens writes, "or a spectral illusion of conscience, or a drunken man who had no business there, or the drunken rightful owner of the furniture, with a transitory gleam of memory; whether he got safe home, or had no home to get to; whether he died of liquor on the way, or lived in liquor ever afterwards; he was heard of no more".
The tale of the failed adventurer and the borrowed furniture comes from one of Dickens's best and least-read books, The Uncommercial Traveller. A series of essays he began in 1860 not long after he had written A Tale of Two Cities and just before he started work on Great Expectations, these short, vivid non-fiction pieces were written at a time when he cast himself as above all a wanderer. "I am both a town traveller and a country traveller," he wrote, "and am always on the road. Figuratively speaking, I travel for the great House of Human Interest Brothers, and have a rather large collection in the fancy goods way." The stories he tells are Dickens's fancy goods, picked up while he tramped the streets.
As an observer of the human scene Dickens wasn't the cosy sentimentalist to whom we were introduced at school, any more than he was just an angry protestor against Victorian injustice. As he saw it, if I read him right, human life was fickle, erratic and inherently unruly. There was no prospect of remoulding things according to some more exalted plan. Yet this wasn't for Dickens an altogether melancholy thought, for he had a powerful sense of excitement when he contemplated the intractable human world.
Dickens didn't seem to share the idea, common among reformers in his day and our own, that there is a more reasonable and better-natured human species hidden away somewhere inside us, waiting to be let out. Listen to his description of the laundrywoman of the chambers where the failed adventurer lodged: "The veritable shining-red-faced shameless laundress… in figure, colour, texture and smell, like the old damp family umbrella: the tip-top complicated abomination of stockings, spirits, bonnet, limpness, looseness and larceny."
Dickens didn't see the laundry-woman as an imperfect specimen of universal humanity, who could become more morally respectable if she was properly instructed. Again, this is his account of what he saw, early one morning in Covent Garden, while having coffee and toast after one of his long night walks: a "man in a high and long snuff-coloured coat, and shoes, and, to the best of my belief, nothing else but a hat, who took out of his hat a large cold meat pudding; a meat pudding so large that it was a very tight fit, and brought the lining of the hat out with it".
Dickens enjoyed human beings as he found them, unregenerate, peculiar and incorrigibly themselves. He has been often criticised because his characters are so grotesquely exaggerated. Miserly Mr Scrooge and the boozy Mrs Gamp, ever-optimistic Mr Micawber and the faded Miss Havisham are theatrical figures, it is said, rather than plausible personalities. But the stagy quality of Dickens' characters is what makes them so humanly believable. Travelling theatres were part of the street life he had known as a child. Showing emotions being fully acted out, these street theatres revealed human beings as they feel themselves to be—creatures ruled by their sensations. It was natural for Dickens to present his characters as figures on a stage. He was himself a travelling performer, acting out his characters in readings of his books in hugely popular tours across Britain and America.
At the same time, the theatrical quality of Dickens' fiction has a deeper source in his view of human life. One of his most striking features – and for me, one of his most attractive – is his lack of interest in grand ideas. It's well known that he was never much engaged with politics, but it's his equivocal attitude to religion that seems to me most telling. Certainly he invoked some of the imagery of Victorian religiosity, particularly the consoling dream of an idyllic after-life where we meet those we have loved and lost. [……]
There are many scholarly interpretations of Dickens, but I'm inclined to think this may be the secret of his genius. He was like Shakespeare, who rather than accepting or rejecting religion simply left it on one side. The mediaeval scheme of things was a cosmic hierarchy with God at the top. There are many references to this view of things in Shakespeare, but he doesn't use it is as a frame in which to set the events he portrays. His plays focus on the human realm, and the cosmos is hardly mentioned. Dickens does something similar, I think, but the view of the world he puts on one side is a modern one. […….]
Dickens never seems to me to subscribe to this picture of things. For him human life is enacted on a stage, small and brightly lit, and beyond the stage there is only an immense darkness. Some of the dramas conclude happily, as in many of Dickens's novels. Others – like most of those he recounts in The Uncommercial Traveller – come to an end without any definite conclusion. Either way, our human dramas are more comical than they are tragic and they have no meaning beyond themselves.
For Dickens life was a theatre of the absurd, but that was no reason to be down-hearted. For him this world was enough, and he was able to find unending interest and delight in the stories that are played out on the human stage. That's why Dickens is still so close to us, and always will be.

August 06, 2014
The lack of conveniences in pioneer days may not be missed, but home design styles with a rustic twist are appealing to current-day homeowners, reported MixandChic.com. Add decorating touches like the traditional maple flooring in Anderson's Eagle Lodge Hardwood Floor collection and you have variegated, country-style floors that would have been right at home more than a century ago.
Homeowners who don't have exposed beams or a farmhouse-style dwelling can still capture elements of this classic decor. Some features speak to traditional home styles better than others, and they aren't difficult to obtain. Installing hardwood floors, for instance, not only lends rustic charm to any home, but it's one of the most sought-after features that today's home buyers want, according to Zillow. In addition to its warm tones, Eagle Lodge is made from engineered wood, which is several layers of wood compressed together for additional durability.
Continuing the wood theme, installing a distressed, antique door will lend a distinctive air to the main entry to your home. Authentic ones can be found at flea markets, antique shops and restoration specialty shops, but there are also many dealers who are reproducing these old styles in response to consumer demand. Choose door hardware with soft metallic finishes, outdoor period light fixtures and mailboxes in traditional styles to match. Your front door will be one of the most unique entrances in the neighborhood.
Rustic features
Homes that have a fireplace have a ready-made feature of rustic interiors. If the mantel and outer panels are contemporary, they can be easily changed to a more traditional look by attaching molding and trim. In homes without the infrastructure to install a fireplace, there are electric and gas models that are affordable and convey the same homey look of the real thing.
If you want an authentic rustic look in your kitchen, add a rod iron pot rack overhanging the kitchen island or attach a vertical rack to a wall. Add a few copper and cast iron pots and pans among the ones you use on a daily basis, and you've got a functional and stylish feature that's in step with country and farmhouse room design.
With natural woods adding a dark cast to a room, keeping the window treatments lightweight and breezy allows sunlight to come in, and sets up an interesting sensory mix of filmy fabric and solid wood. White mesh or lace with a border that matches the wall color is a good choice.

Published on: Mar 6, 2013 - 8:00am
(SPOT.ph) In local show business, we don't like variety. We're known for sticking with the same "it" star for years and years until the sorry time when he or she can no longer pass for a high schooler (which always seems to be the perfect setup for romance). We grow loyal to the same product endorser (Hello, Michael V!). We stay true to the same onscreen couple until, well, until they run out of songs to turn into movies.
Nora Aunor and Tirso Cruz III alone have 12 movies between them, excluding television projects. Decades later, the Wowie De Guzman-Judy Ann Santos tandem came out to match that astonishing feat and more. Don't get us wrong; we're not exactly adverse to modifications. There have been some rematching and experimentation every now and then and some of them successful like Sarah Geronimo and John Lloyd Cruz, Jodi Sta. Maria and Richard Yap. They're not always good though. Here, we give you 10 examples of why sometimes, sticking to the status quo is the best thing for everyone.
10. Rene Requiestas and Kris Aquino
Fail flick: Pido Dida (1990, 1991, 1992)
Premise: Two motley orphans wrongly believe themselves to be siblings. When they discover that they aren't related, they marry and have kids.
Do we even have to explain? Let's dissect the plot, shall we: after years of living like brother and sister, it's astonishing how Pida and Dida seamlessly slipped from being siblings to lovers immediately after finding out that they were, in fact, unrelated. How quickly and easily it was leads us to think that they already had feelings for each other hampered only by the fear of committing incest. As soon as they heard the good news, they were jumping and hugging and rolling around in bed celebrating to a scene that sort of left a bad taste in our mouth and made our skin crawl. Physically, well, the gap-toothed, rather eccentric-looking Requiestas and the delicate-looking Aquino aren't exactly Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. It's like two mistmatched pieces of a puzzle were cut around the edges just to make them fit. In comedy, however, we figure, anything goes.
9. Jericho Rosales and Anne Curtis
Fail flick: Baler (2008)
Premise: Set during the Spanish colonial times, the daughter of a Filipino revolutionary falls in love with a mestizo soldier whose loyalty falls with the Kastilas.
Before you say anything, we know that Anne Curtis won an MMFF Best Actress award for her role as Feliza Reyes. But who, and we repeat, who in the world would believe that this half-Australian actress, with her fair skin and aquiline nose is a dalagang Filipina from the 19th century? It just doesn't work. Listening to Rosales' halting Spanish and Curtis' careful Filipino doesn't exactly present a good ground for those much anticipated giddy lines either. Their love scene, which had all the makings of a steamy affair (there was a bonfire in the background) seemed overly rehearsed with the pair counting the movement in their mind: one, two, three... kiss her neck; one, two, three... hold his hand; one, two, three... caress her back.
8. Coco Martin and Angeline Quinto
Fail flick: Born to Love You (2012)
Premise: An optimistic tour guide and an angry photographer find security in each other.
We admit this could've had a chance. Coco Martin is so exceptionally talented that he could be paired with a snail and make it look convincing; Angeline Quinto's first acting effort could even be considered sublime. But if there was ever something that came between them, it was Martin's hair, a two-inch strand of bangs over his right eye that prevents us from seeing his emotions and affections-and these are things we want to see when we watch him. Overly distracting and honestly ugly, this piece of leftover salon hair just gets in the way whenever romance starts to sizzle. As if Martin needed a hair piece to make his angry-emo photographer interpretation believable. Really, if he had just gotten a haircut in the film, there was no need for his character to end up blind just to prove his love.
7. Mario Maurer and Erich Gonzales
Fail flick: Suddenly It's Magic (2012)
Premise: Two sawi people find solace in each other's arms over paparazzi issues and cupcakes.
Funny enough, for a movie that promises magic, we saw nothing but a bunch of producers trying to wave wands and empty top hats in the form of Mario Maurer and Erich Gonzales. The plot is a fool-proof tear-jerker-two romantically tormented, cynical souls find each other in a time when they least expect but most need it. Gonzales and Maurer have enough cred to make it work (the film was a box office success despite mixed critical reception), but the stilted dialogue and crude pacing just shook off any potential. As for connection between the stars, they were too good-looking for it to matter to producers. The language gap felt like a huge block between them. Interpreter, please!
6. Piolo Pascual and Bea Alonzo
Fail flick: Dreamboy (2005)
Premise: A hopeless romantic falls in love with three different men who turn out to be the same person.
Ordinarily, we'd envy Bea Alonzo for falling in love with Piolo Pascual three times over, but this love story was simply a ploy to showcase Pascual's range as an actor: an arrogant rich bastard, a bad boy, and a guy next door. Alonzo, who goes all Taylor Swift-esque way before she made quickie romances fashionable, simply became this one-dimensional, lovesick non-factor in the whole Pascual universe.

Coat in Summer Heat Gave Away Jerusalem Terrorist
The terrorist, 26, planned to use a large knife for an attack at Hizme checkpoint.
By Gil Ronen
First Publish: 9/28/2012, 3:15 PM
Hizme Checkpoint
Flash 90
A coat worn despite the summer heat gave away a terrorist, 26, who planned an attack at the Hizme checkpoint, in northern Jerusalem.
The terrorist arrived at the checkpoint at noontime Friday. The fact that he was wearing a coat despite the great heat aroused the Border Police's suspicion. They conducted a search and found a large kitchen knife in the man's possession.
The man admitted that he had planned to stab hitchhikers at the Hizme station. When he failed to find any hitchhikers there, he decided to try and stab a policeman.
He has been arrested and taken for interrogation.
The closure that the IDF imposed on Judea and Samaria because of Yom Kippur was lifted Friday.

|Assistant Coach
|4 Years
Kenny Arena, a former Major League Soccer player and University of Virginia standout, is in his fourth season as a Bruin assistant coach. During his time at UCLA, he helped lead the Bruins to three Pac-12 titles, three NCAA quarterfinal appearances and a 2011 College Cup appearance. Arena was an assistant coach at George Mason in 2007 and a volunteer coach for the University of Virginia in 2006.
As head coach of the U16 LA Galaxy Academy Team, Arena led his squad to the 2010-11 USSDA National and SoCal Division championships, as well as the 2011 U-17 MLS Generation adidas Cup. Those three championships were the first in club history. One of Arena's academy players became just the second homegrown player ever to sign with the LA Galaxy.
Arena, who has a "B" Coaching license, was responsible for player development, recruiting and scheduling at George Mason in 2007. At Virginia in 2006, he helped the Cavaliers advance to the NCAA Semifinals, where they lost to UCLA. In addition, Arena had been training and coaching club teams in the Virginia area since 1998.
Arena played three seasons in Major League Soccer, spending 2003 and 2004 with the NY/NJ MetroStars and the 2005 season with DC United. In 2002, Arena was a member of the U.S. U-23 National Team and was also a member of the U.S. U-20 National Team from 2000-2001. He played in the 2001 World Youth Championships in Argentina, scoring a goal against the Ukraine.
At the University of Virginia, Arena started in 65 of 78 games at midfield from 1999-2002, totaling 24 career points off seven goals (including three game-winners) and 10 assists. He earned all-conference honors as a senior and was twice named to the VaSID All-Virginia team.
Arena's father, Bruce, is currently the general manager/head coach of the Los Angeles Galaxy and was the head coach of the U.S. men's national team from 1998-2006. He coached national championship teams at DC United and the University of Virginia.
