JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - As the 2012 Olympic Games in London inch closer, a Jacksonville resident is celebrating after making the Olympic swimming team.
Charlie Houchin was welcomed by family and friends as he returned from the Olympic trials Tuesday night at Jacksonville International Airport. Houchin is now part of what is considered to be one of the best training teams for the Olympics.
Now the Raleigh, North Carolina native is training in Jacksonville at Bolles. Houchin will be representing the River City during the Olympic Games.
"I'm just trying to swim as fast as I can on the relay in the morning, then make sure I get on the finals relay at night," aid Houchin. "It's a great opportunity. I'm just enjoying the ride."
Friends hope Houchin will become a household name like Michael Phelps.
"As of right now, we'll be watching it on the big screen," Hochin's friend, Bryan Horn." Wearing our red, white and blue and cheering our hearts out."
Houchin trained with Coach Bob Bowman at the University of Michigan and after college, he continued his professional swimming career under Coach Sean Hutchinson.
Within months, Houchin qualified for his first international competition, the 2010 Pan Pacific Championships. He placed 5th in the 400 Freestyle during the international competition, becoming the second fastest American, thus earning a spot as a member on the 2011 World Championship Team.
After making the team, Houchin began competing at the XVI Pan American Games in Guadalajara for final preparations for the Olympic Trials.
He walked away as a two-time gold medalist in the 400 meter Freestyle and the 4x200 Freestyle Relay.

Etta James was in my mind as we walked to The Beach House: at last, at last.
For years, months, weeks and hours, we have wistfully if not also impatiently waited for this restaurant to reopen. It sits on the jagged and surprisingly wild coast in a tourist town that actually is a hometown where people live and work, stroll and jog and push strollers and wheelchairs, buy ladders and wheelbarrows and vintage clothes.
Lovers Point was identified as the watering hole early on, as Pacific Grove sprang into civic mode in 1875. Meanwhile, the restaurant has been in a continuous evolution.
Finally, it is open again, to the obvious relief and celebration of our community. It will be permanently packed with locals and tourists.
When we arrived this Saturday night at 5:30, it was already crowded and lively; every table was full. You know me, Faithful Reader, my appetite and enthusiasm for our local food and sense of how important it is to our civic culture and quality of life to have restaurants of panache and spirit, imagination and truly tasty food and warm ambiance.
This restaurant is young, and there are some things that surely will be worked out, but here is what is "at last" so far.
First, of course, the diner's view, and I am sure they will add enough heat lamps to make those 55-degree windy evenings of summer comfortable for dining, because it is sublime to sit out there.
It is what we all have been waiting for — to sit in open air by the sea while seagulls cry and kayaks paddle below and waves softly crest and subside. (Although I requested an outside table weeks in advance, I was shown to an inside table, so my opinion of the deck being sublime is from my walking out there to observe. There was shivering going on but it was sublime shivering.)
There is a happy hour 4-6p.m. that includes local beer and wine (my IPA from 20 minutes away was less than $3!) and a Sunset Dinner Special, which, if you order before 6p.m., offers entrees for under $10. That's right, including salmon.
The portions of the entrees are large. You can't beat this. You can get bacon-wrapped meatloaf, salmon, chicken and pasta.
The entrees and salads offer old-fashioned American mid-20th century fare: For moderate prices you can get a traditionally-prepared burger ($11.90), chicken sandwich, chicken breast, sole, salmon, steak, sirloin, meatloaf (bacon-wrapped, with mushroom gravy, onion rings, potatoes), pork cutlet, pasta, lobster ($32), green salad, Caesar, beet (and you can add grilled chicken or salmon or shrimp for $6-8.90).
My companion, eating gluten-free, had salmon ($18) with mashed potatoes, spinach and red cabbage, each cooked simply (many people will appreciate the lack of butter and salt).
But you may never get past the appetizers and small plates. They have flair. First, there is the Two Toast ($4), which varies every night. On our night, it was blue cheese and honey, and sundried tomatoes and olives.
There's tuna tartar, and several kinds of oysters and mussels ($11.90-12.90), wild smoked salmon ($11.90) and ahi ($18.90).
Then there is the Feast of Lanterns Firecracker Shrimp ($8.90), and escargots and risotto and ravioli. You know me. I ordered so much the waiter was worried. "You won't be able to eat all that." (Hello?)
I ordered the special Sicilian sausage over lentils (one sausage, $9), escargots (six, $9) and the night's ravioli (three, $13). It was irresistible.
The pasta is made locally in Sand City and the filling is made at the restaurant. (I also was served the risotto, $12, which I did not order, but I ate it and paid for it anyway.) I also ordered the shrimp. This was all for you, of course, Dear Reader.
The sausage was a robust start: tasty, crispy and yet tender. And the ravioli was terrific. It gave me faith that the rest of the dishes are each going to come into their own with a luster and hurrah.
The raviolis sat in a savory broth, covered with perfectly cooked zucchinis, tender and tasty. You ate it with a large spoon.
The pasta was fresh and soft, and the filling had corn, Vidalia onions and ricotta. It was sweet and savory and a joy to eat. You might want two. I want another, just thinking about it. (See? It wasn't too much!)
Meanwhile both the lentils and the lemon risotto were tantalizing, with the lemon shyly present in the risotto; the texture was crispy and there were coy hints and flirty scents of flavor in lemon and herbs. (Bring on that flavor, oh chef!)
The salmon entrée was thick and generous in size. It was grilled. This night's was a little dry, but the spinach was sauteed just right, almost soupy it was so tender and my sweet companion found the red cabbage delicious.
For dessert (of course we were not "too full") there were three possibilities: coffee ice cream (from Santa Barbara), home-made chocolate pot de crme and mud pie ($5.95).
Oh, and some lemon meringue pie, but that had been left in the freezer and was still frozen, our waiter told us.
But wait! The lemon meringue was available after all. We had the pot de crme and lemon meringue, of course.
Both came with a raspberry sauce that was delicious. It is very difficult to do lemon meringue pie, to get the right amount and proportion of lemon filling and meringue topping, and tasty crust.
But this meringue reminded me of the famous signature meringue at Cipriani's in New York, for which you would get jet lag and taxi attitude: gleaming and fresh and soft, just barely spilling out over the top, like the waves right below you. (Coincidence that the chef says it is Italian?)
So you can see that even in its nanosecond of evolutionary development, this restaurant aspires to give us some surprise, some kick and excellence along with the sublimity of location.
Its service is kindly of heart and will develop a flow; the menu offerings may diversify and become more bold; and while the appetizer menu will shake out a list of taste sensations, oh let that ravioli remain in its perfection unmessed with.
And on this hopeful note for what can happen in an evolved community like Pacific Grove, if this restaurant can come bounding back to us (at last), so can the swan boats.
They were with us for 80 years, and we have reason to believe that the resurrection at Lovers Point, with the pool and now the Beach House restaurant, has only just begun. Happy days are in store. And speaking of Lovers Point, Swedish Squeeze will return!GO!

CHARLESTON, SC – GreenWizard® Inc. and MBDC, LLC recently announced a new collaborative partnership that will help the green building industry identify Cradle to Cradle CertifiedCM products for use in construction projects and in LEED® certifications.
GreenWizard is a Web-based expert system that allows architects, engineers, and contractors to cross-search, compare, and document products for LEED and green commercial construction. Today, 800+ manufacturers and 250+ architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) firms, representing $500+ million in combined project value, actively access the GreenWizard workflow solution.
MBDC developed the Cradle to Cradle® Certification program, a comprehensive, multi-attribute program that evaluates building products for safety to human and environmental health, recyclability, and sustainable manufacturing practices. Currently there are more than 100 manufacturers around the globe with Cradle to Cradle Certified products that would be utilized throughout the construction and maintenance of a building.
Through this new partnership, MBDC and GreenWizard will work to introduce and maintain Cradle to Cradle Certified product data in GreenWizard's searchable green product database. By accessing the GreenWizard database, members of the AEC community who are researching or specifying products will be now be able to determine, at a glance, which products are Cradle to Cradle Certified and what LEED points could be earned by specifying these products in a building.
Cradle to Cradle Certified products can help contribute to LEED points in several ways. Buildings that use a minimum percentage of these products can earn an Innovation in Design credit in all of the rating systems. Cradle to Cradle Certified products also earn points as Environmentally Preferable Products (MR 2.2) in the LEED for Homes Rating System and can contribute toward Sustainable Purchasing points (MR 1.1-1.3) in the LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance Rating System.
"GreenWizard is a great resource for professionals to research and identify architectural and building products with environmental attributes. We are inviting our clients to participate and list their certified products with GreenWizard," says Steve Bolton, Sr. consultant at MBDC.
"MBDC has done extremely admirable work with building products through its Cradle to Cradle Certification program," says Adam Bernholz, GreenWizard's CEO. "Now, through GreenWizard, these products will be prominently identified in our database for AEC specifiers looking for the most sustainable choices. We are honored to be a conduit for the design community to locate these products."
About MBDC
McDonough Braungart Design Chemistry (MBDC) is a global consulting and certification firm that helps clients leave a positive footprint on the planet by implementing the Cradle to Cradle® design framework. The framework is outlined in the book by internationally recognized architect/designer William McDonough and chemist Michael Braungart, Cradle to Cradle—Remaking the Way We Make Things, published in 2002 by NorthPoint Press. Cradle to Cradle Certification is an external, multi-attribute assessment process that can be applied across industries, from building materials, interior building products and furniture, to consumer products and packaging. Cradle to Cradle Consulting helps clients integrate the larger Cradle to Cradle design framework to optimize product life cycles, organizational operations, strategy, decision-making and communications.

Message:Probably a third Emmy on the way.
My son Matt (ND '02) is with NBC Olympics and has won a Sports Emmy for his work in each of the last two Olympic Games. He just completed his work for the very successful London Games and is basically touring patiently until he meets up with classmates for the Navy game. That is not a brag...it's just an indication of his talent and dedication to craft.
But Matt would like to move on and work more in the computer field, his area of training and interest. He is a 33 year old workout warrior, fun, hard working, ethical and wicked smart. He would like to stay in the NYC area if possible, though a relocation to NC where two of his siblings live would be considered.
If anyone has or knows of a possible fit in their area, please send my a reply.
Thanks in advance for any help.

It's become a well-worn truism that a picture is worth a thousand words.
And nowadays, taking a picture is easy — take out your phone, point, shoot. The Internet is full of images from the mundane to the breathtaking.
But how do these photographs change as people get older?
What does a 10-year-old boy see from his height that a 30-year-old woman can't? And yet, what does a 100-year-old grandmother's images have in common with those of a 20-year-old college student's?
Rather than just have our staff ponder such questions, the Times-Herald decided to ask the community.
The result of that project — Generation Snaps.
We gave 10 people a disposable film camera with 37 exposures and asked them to let us see the world through their eyes.
For the next five weeks, on Friday's Arts pages and Sunday's Outlook pages, we will tell each of these photographers' stories and show their images both in print and through multimedia works online.
Our Generation Snaps photographers each represent a different decade; 10 years apart in age.
The youngest is 10. The oldest is 100.
Who are these people?
Chances are, they're your neighbor, your friend, your classmate or just a friendly face you see from time to time. Many came to us through a post on our Facebook page, facebook.com/timesherald.
Others we found at schools, senior facilities and the Vallejo Veterans Memorial Building. Each has a unique story — and a unique eye for pictures.
So, in order by age, here are our Generation Snaps photographers:
• Rylan Palomino-Croom, 10, a Steffan Manor Elementary School student;
• Mitchell Kobayashi, 20, a California Maritime Academy student;
• Tricia Hartzell, 30, mother of five children;
• Suzanne Bello, 40, of Benicia;
• Landileigh Nelson, 50, a retiree;
• Lou Bordisso, 60, who lives on Mare Island;
• Gary Smith, 70, a retired submarine veteran;
• Barbara Stackhouse, 80, a Vallejo Naval and Historical museum volunteer;
• Charlotte Coleman, 90, who lives in a senior home;
• and Afton Harvey, 100, recently honored in Solano County for her longevity.
Our participants received their cameras in mid-October, returning them early this month for development. Their stories will run in the Friday Arts section and the Sunday Outlook section, in order of age. The last one should run Dec. 15.
Additionally, their stories and a short video piece will be posted online at www.timesheraldonline.com/generationsnaps as they run in the print edition.
For now, this is just a teaser. We can't wait until we get to share our photographers' work with you.

There was no apocalypse. The Mayans missed the mark, unless their predictions really were focused only on a cash-strapped soccer club in Glasgow.
After a hesitant start to World Cup qualifying, the U.S. national team eased into the Hexagonal with the second-best record among CONCACAF's 12 semifinalists. Hosted by the participant with the better regular-season record for the first time, the MLS Cup final was contested at a soccer-specific stadium 1,000 miles from the nearest cold front. Rafa Márquez decided not to come back.
Not only was disaster averted, but American soccer enters 2013 in similar fashion to 2012. Jurgen Klinsmann has answered some questions, raised others and has a big year of qualifying ahead. The L.A. Galaxy are MLS champions, and the Houston Dynamo the runner-up. The New York Red Bulls fell short once again, Chivas USA is a disaster and the league is pushing for a 20th team in New York City. We're all wondering where David Beckham is going to play, whether Freddy Adu ever will find his groove and if a women's professional league can survive. Landon Donovan isn't going on loan this winter, but questions concerning his ambition are being asked once again.
But American soccer isn't spinning its wheels. Plenty happened in 2012 that's worth reviewing. On Friday, we'll examine the Year in MLS. Today, Sporting News takes a look at the memorable and regrettable during the past year of U.S. soccer:
Michael Bradley. The 25-year-old midfielder rarely put a foot wrong in 2012, was consistent from start to finish and raised his game at critical moments.
Bradley was brilliant in the national team's historic 1-0 win in Italy, the year-ending 2-2 draw in Russia and the qualifying clincher vs. Guatemala. His ability to play different roles depending on his team's needs in a particular game or moment is unique among his peers and his emergence as a leader and spokesperson has been apparent to anyone spending time with the U.S. national team.
That adaptability, hunger and intelligence has served him well at the club level, where he has transitioned from modest Chievo Verona to Serie A power AS Roma almost seamlessly, establishing himself as a regular starter and key contributor.
Sound arguments can be made for Clint Dempsey, Chris Wondolowski and Tim Howard, but Bradley gets the nod thanks to his consistent excellence for club and country and his uniquely diverse skill set. He has become the most indispensable U.S. player.
The win at Azteca. The 75-year winless streak at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City was broken by an 80th-minute goal set up and scored by the unlikely trio of Brek Shea, Terrence Boyd and Michael Orozco, substitutes whose combined ages didn't match the duration of American futility on Mexican soil.
It was only an exhibition match, but the relief was palpable and the celebrations symbolic.
Boyd's leap to the top of the field signage amounted to the planting of an American flag on the Azteca turf. A postgame locker room photo featuring a host of World Cup-winning smiles and Jermaine Jones attached to an oxygen tank demonstrated just how difficult playing at the Azteca is, and how much victory meant, to a U.S. squad gaining confidence with each passing match.
The loss in Jamaica. Klinsmann blamed September's 2-1 World Cup qualifying setback in Kingston on two untimely free kicks converted by the Reggae Boyz. But those free kicks came about during 89 minutes of soccer that were as ugly as any played by a U.S. team. Dempsey scored in the opening seconds and the Americans, minus the likes of Donovan and Bradley, chased Jamaica for the rest of the evening and struggled to put even a couple of passes together. The consternation over Klinsmann's tactics and player selection had reached a fever pitch.
The post-Guatemala reality check. The Americans responded to that setback with three consecutive wins, finishing first in their four-team World Cup qualifying group at 4-1-1. After closing out the competitive portion of the year with an easy 3-1 victory over Guatemala in Kansas City, some welcome perspective set in.
Despite playing in difficult conditions (the field in Antigua looked like a muddy, waterlogged racetrack) and without ever starting the same 11 players twice, the U.S. got the results it needed and finished with one of its best records in the modern era. The 9-2-2 mark (becoming 9-2-3 with the November tie in Russia) included victories in Italy and Mexico and featured the emergence of several new national team contributors.
It wasn't always easy, but it's not supposed to be. At the end of 2012, Klinsmann & Co. appear to be on the right track.
The Olympic women's semifinal. The U.S. women had the stage to themselves this summer and made the most of it, winning their third consecutive Olympic gold medal a few days after an astonishing 4-3 semifinal victory over Canada that proved even more gripping than the Women's World Cup defeat of Brazil the year before.
The U.S. had no answer for Canada's Christine Sinclair, who had a hat trick, but leveled terms in the 80th minute on a controversial penalty from Abby Wambach. The play began with a stunning, letter-of-the-law delay of game call on Canada goalkeeper Erin McLeod that remains a sore subject among those north of the border who might have missed Melissa Tancredi's second-half stomp on the head of U.S. midfielder Carli Lloyd.
Given their chance, the U.S. capitalized and Alex Morgan headed home the winner in the 123rd exhausting minute.
"I'm still in shock," Morgan said following the game. Nearly five months later, that might still be the case.
Olympic qualifying failure. Eight months later, Klinsmann still couldn't quite believe it. "This roster was made for a medal. That is the crazy part of it," the U.S. coach said in November when reflecting on the Under-23 team's group stage failure at the CONCACAF Olympic qualifying tournament.
The 3-3 draw that knocked out the Americans was soccer at its most gut-wrenching. A series of U.S. errors, capped off by goalkeeper Sean Johnson's misplay, allowed El Salvador to score the fatal goal in the 94th minute. The Olympics represented a massive missed opportunity for the U.S., which might have been able to add seasoned European pros like Jozy Altidore, Danny Williams and Josh Gatt to the team in London. Instead, they watched as rival Mexico took home the gold.
Landon Donovan. The national team's most iconic player was poked, prodded and psychoanalyzed throughout the second half of the '12 season, following his May decision to discuss his waning physical and emotional energy.
Donovan's candor always has been welcome and has set him apart, but this year it worked against him. His honesty when asked about his feelings and his future was thoughtful and genuine, but it wound up generating the sort of scrutiny and pressure he said he hoped to avoid. It also kept the story at the forefront and became a distraction for both the L.A. Galaxy and the U.S. national team.
Donovan's refusal to discuss the issue during the press conference that preceded the MLS Cup final was just about the most welcome "no comment" in sports history. Donovan's emotional journey was fascinating but exhausting, and this winter will provide a welcome and deserved break for all.
Abby Wambach. Over the past year and a half, Wambach's relentless pursuit of victory, her immense contributions in the clutch and her inspiring on-field demeanor have lifted her into the rarified air occupied by women's national team legends Michelle Akers, Carla Overbeck and Kristine Lilly.
But her priorities continue to puzzle. She continued to defend the belligerent businessman who nearly single-handedly brought about the demise of Women's Professional Soccer, magicJack owner Dan Borislow, and called him an "inspiration" despite revelations of antisocial, aggressive and borderline misogynistic behavior.
Then in November, she told ESPN that the pay and benefits rumored to be available in the new National Women's Soccer League are "below the standards of what this national team has built itself to be ... (and) what we deserve to be paid in a professional league."
Pitting the national team players against the rank-and-file, throwing words like "deserve" around a sport that already has failed twice at the pro level -- that doesn't seem like the same Wambach who's proved to be so inspiring on the field.
Bob Bradley. He might have won more American fans as the coach of Egypt than during his five years in charge of the U.S. national team, which he led to the second round of the '10 World Cup, the final of the '09 Confederations Cup and the '07 CONCACAF Gold Cup title.
Bradley's empathy and courage following the February riot that killed dozens of fans at an Egyptian Premier League match, which included an appearance at a Cairo protest against the violence and a promise to stay on as coach, was only the beginning for a man who has become a remarkable ambassador to the Arab world.
He has visited sick kids in hospitals and comforted parents who lost children in a horrific November bus crash. All the while, he has been the face of the game in a soccer-mad country that hasn't had an operational domestic league since February, whose national team is forced to play behind closed doors and which is desperate to qualify for its first World Cup since 1990.
Despite his success with the U.S., Bradley never was embraced by large segments of the American soccer public. His stoicism and serious nature often was mistaken for detachment. But he always led the national team with class and distinction. He now is doing the same a world away.

Bedtime For Bondo®
I've got to admit, working with fiberglass doesn't top my list of favorite autobody repair chores – especially in an environment that's as hot as it is here in Southern California. I always feel as though I'd been mugged by an irate itching powder salesman by the time my forays into 'glass repairs are barely completed. But, luckily the majority of fiberglass bodies and accessories are top-quality these days and don't require much in the way of major reworking like they did years ago. However, there are still times when they need a bit of extra prep work to make 'em perfect.
Speaking of making things perfect, a recent trip to Uncle Bitchin's shop offered me and my pal Rob Fortier (the only one with a camera at the time) a textbook case in point. Butch "Uncle Bitchin" Lynch just happened to be in the process of massaging a couple of huge 'glass Cameo bedsides. In Butch's opinion anyway, the panel's bodylines were good, but not perfect – and with Butch, things have to be done perfectly or not at all. That said, we hung out to watch and learn how a professional goes about transforming good 'glass to perfect 'glass.

Retail's multichannel explosion has done more than send e-commerce and catalog numbers skyrocketing. It has created an army of store-level employees ill-prepared to provide the heightened levels of service necessary in a multichannel environment.
Why does multichannel impact bricks-and-mortar customer-service levels? Because, explained Bridget Trask, VP of retail services for Cincinnati-based human resources and customer-care solution-provider Convergys, customers are increasingly using multiple channels to make purchases.
"According to Forrester Research, the percentage of customers who research products online before purchasing in stores has risen 40% in the last two years," said Trask. "And Jupiter Research estimates Web research will affect half of all purchases by 2010."
Since nearly 50% of consumers who use multiple channels to buy products switch from their preferred retailers when they purchase, said Trask, "Retailers who deliver a consistent, positive experience both on- and offline can reduce this crossover, and gain a competitive advantage."
Consistently delivering a positive in-store experience is directly dependent on a retailer's employees, who in turn are dependent on the retailer's training program and information systems. Interestingly, some of the very processes, systems, tools and techniques that catalog-and Internet-retailers have used to improve the customer experience online and on the phone can similarly uplift the bricks-and-mortar shopping experience.
E-commerce-inspired service tools: A solution that retailers can use to improve the in-store experience is one that brings customer and product information to the sales floor via a Web link. "The 'Store Portal' solution is integrated with a retailer's core content and provides the store-level employee with immediate access to all kinds of relevant information," said Trask. One weighty piece of information is whether or not that shopper is a multichannel customer. The Store Portal solution integrates all the customer's experiences with the retailer so a store associate can see a customer's entire transaction history across the channels, "allowing that employee to deliver a superior experience, which is especially important with high-value customers," said Trask.
"An integrated customer experience in which store associates have ready access to the same capabilities and knowledge via a store portal or other technology is vital to meeting the expectations of shoppers in the store," she continued. "Further, providing customers very relevant guidance in a warm, face-to-face environment with the ability to touch and take home the item the same day is an exceptional value that can't be matched by the remote channels."
Another tool that has traditionally enhanced e-commerce and catalog experiences and that now can elevate in-store shopping is the call center. "When customers call a store, they're actively looking for a particular item—and if they don't find it from you, they're going to go somewhere else," said Trask. "That makes handling those calls very important."
Because store employees often will ignore a ringing phone or give the caller short shrift in favor of helping a customer in the store, a self-service or enhanced answering-service solution can provide retailers with a satisfactory alternative to live, in-store phone answering. The "Store Call Consolidation" application provides automated answers to frequently asked questions such as store hours and location, but more complicated queries are routed to contact-center representatives armed with complete product and inventory information—allowing employees to focus on in-store customers while still providing call-ins the service and ordering opportunities they want.
In addition, call centers can be used to centralize repair and maintenance functions so that employees can focus on customers. "As merchants move functions like answering store calls, operational repair and consumer affairs out of the stores, associates are freed to spend more time with shoppers, and retailers realize improved store support and reduced service costs," said Trask.

On local stations that broadcast in SD I get a much better picture with my antenna than I get from Directv. It isn't as good as HD of course but it's better than Directv's equivalent.

There is mixed emotions about the war in Iraq. One thing that people are saying we fought a war we did not have the right to fight.
It cost at least $806 billion dollars. There was more than 36,0000 American casualties, including 4,400 fatalities. At least there is one thing to be thankful for. The American servicemen and women will be home for the holidays.

I was reading an article in the latest edition of "Slam" where they had an interview with Jermaine. It seemed like every other paragraph he was praising himself for being the best in the league.
Still after he dunks or blocks a shot he still seems to have the need to stand there and stare down the crowd while the rest of the team is going down to set up on defense. He did that 2 or 3 times at the All Star game.
It's like ok JO, you a bad man. But tone it down some. let your game and your record speak for you. I was hoping that he would grow out of this. I know he has to some extent but still needs some more maturing evidently.
He also said something to the effect that "that he really wants to win a championship in Indiana so he can say that DW took a chance on him and he was able to bring a championship to Indiana"
then he said something strange. "Once I do that, that's it, I'm done"
I'll try to bring the magazine to work so I can get direct quotes.

Aside from being old and bitter and just craving attention, how can anyone not like the guy?
Where's the guy who said we wouldn't win a single game this season? I have a nice, robust crow I would like to feed him.
I dont think Irsay gets enough credit for having the balls to make the changes he did before this season. Biggest balls in the NFL right now. He should start tweeting pics of his sack just to let everyone know.
Good call.

There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
What moves? Letting Manning go was best for everybody because Polian had let the core of the team rot, so we were no longer SB contenders. Polian had done the aforementioned massive failing in the draft for year. And Jim Caldwell was just an idiot who should have never been hired in the first place.
Not signing Harrison
Not signing James
Not picking up Mannings option
Letting Clark go
Letting Bracket go
Letting Saturday go
Replacing Polian
Replacing Caldwell
Hiring Grigson, which seems to be paying off in the personal department ( Redding, Vaughn, Butler, Avery, the entire 2012 draft at this point, Freeman )
Do i really need to go on right now?
How exactly are any of those Ballsy? The only sorta ballsy one was letting Manning go, and that was because it was best for both parties.
since when was Irsay the GM? that ended in what, 95?
I think you're overestimating how much personnel control Irsay has... I think he has control over who's in the front office, but I doubt he has as much of a say in player releases/signings. Obviously he has some (I mean it is his team), and ultimately he's the guy who decided not to bring back Manning, but not signing James was most likely a decision by Polian. Letting Clark, Brackett and Saturday go were probably decided by Grigson.
I don't know any of this stuff for sure, but I'd like to think that Irsay doesn't have the Jerry Jones-esque ownership mentality and lets the GM do his job.
BUT - I do agree that you have to give him credit for letting Manning walk (as much as it pains me to even say that sentence) and letting Luck play right away. The guy is as ready as any rookie QB I've ever seen.
Never half-a** two things. Whole-a** one thing.
They just overpowered them
Smothered Chicken!
I have been thinking of this for a while and while I was moving my RV from Washington D.C. to Raleigh, NC. It him me hard. I didn't care if I got in to an RV Park in time to watch the Colts. In fact, I no longer care if I see the Colts ever play again unless they are playing Denver or Washington. I am no longer a Colt fan and your boy Irsay did that to me.... I know you all think I am a lone ranger in this but I am not... There are other people who feel the same way. I have decided that I will no longer watch or support the Colts in any way as long as Andrew Luck is there. I may not come back when he is gone. This has only happened to me once before and that was with IU. I was a big IU basketball fan back to the days of Walt Bellamy, the Van Arsdale twins and Jimmy Rahl. When they fired Bobby Knight (and I really don't care about your opinion or hatred of him), they destroyed my fandom and I have never watched another IU game and I am quite sure that I never will. The Colts now fall in that bracket for me and I am very sad about it. They have been a big part of my life for a long time......
Sounds like you're going to missing a lot of good football and basketball then.
I am sure that is true. I haven't watched an IU game since the day Bobby was fired by that a**hole, Miles Brand...
I will be watching Denver for as long as Peyton is there. I am going to be watching the Redskins because I am intrigued by RGIII and what he might become. I feel nothing for the Colts, absolutely nothing. I would not, at this point, walk across the street to watch a game at the Luke if I was getting free tickets.... I am happy for all of you that you have been able to move on and support them. I just can't do that.... I'll keep up with the Pacers though...... Take care, Joe...
The only reason you are saying any of that is because the Colts are actually good this year. Had we been a terrible team as you predicted, then you'd be watching every week so you could come here and rub in just how bad we were.
Good riddance though to anyone who was more of a Peyton fan than Colts fan. Mature fanbases follow teams over players. There's nothing wrong with rooting for Peyton in Denver. I'm rooting for him too and want him to win every game unless it: 1) is against the Colts, or 2) somehow negatively impacts the Colts seeding. But anyone who picks Peyton over the Colts was never a true Colts fan to begin with, IMHO. People have the right to do whatever they want with their time and money, and if they don't enjoy watching a Colts team without Peyton then they shouldn't watch. But if that's the case, then they in no shape or form were true Colts fans. Thankfully most in Indy still seem to be paying attention. As I said, mature fanbases root for the franchise over the player. If Brady ever left the Pats, then I guarantee you that no Pats fan would jump ship and root for him over the Pats. They are good fans. Same with the Packers and Favre.

OlBlu's the definition of a bandwagoner. Good riddance.
I've been saying for quite a while now that you were no longer a fan, Blu. I didn't mean that as disrespectful --- I just meant it as it's the truth. We were subjected to a lot of venom from a person who was no longer a fan. I hope you come around some day on the Colts and let go of that unnecessary anger towards Irsay. I do think you have attachment issues, which I can't say is good or bad, everyone is different. You're clearly someone who attaches to someone and views their departure from the scene as disrespect instead of just looking at it as "parties moving on", which is just a part of life.
There are two types of quarterbacks in the league: Those whom over time, the league figures out ... and those who figure out the league.
I watched part of the game last night, and I certainly got a "Harbaugh/ Marchibroda" vibe from the portion I watched. (I was at a bar and the game was on. I wouldn't have tuned in on purpose to watch those two teams or NFL Net's TNF crew.)
Remember the "Any given Sunday" mantra. The talent gap in the NFL, when 25-28 players per team take the field each week (22 starters plus an nickle back, extra RB, extra TE/WR, extra DL), is not huge, so things like turnovers, field position, limiting penalties, and making plays on third down and the redzone can make a bigger difference than the skill of any one position. Your playmakers are making plays. And that's what I mean by the Harbaugh/ Marchibroda vibe. These guys are getting the job done.
I sure as hell didn't expect 6 wins. I did think the new coaching staff would help (it is mostly an AFC-North staff) but thought it would take a year or two to translate into wins as the roster still needs some transformation. Definitely ahead of schedule, a nice tribute to Chuck who deserves better than the fate he's been given this year.
This certainly didn't look anything like either of the last two teams - a bad team getting bailed out by a great QB and a bad team playing down to its lack of talent without him. This is now an improving team that can make plays as a team and seems to have come together as a team... certainly much better than "losing teams" come together. Harbaugh's previous influence on Luck is quite visible. (So make sure you keep Luck away from Jeff George -- the anti-Harbaugh!!) And yes, the opponent was the Jags and that shouldn't be ignored. They're awful in more ways that just not having much talent. They're clearly not playing together, making plays, not doing anything to make up for their talent gaps. But I don't see Jacksonville's talent level of being that much lower than Indy's. The Colts have just found some ways to make plays and again I think that's more important that overall skill.
Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you
So your going to watch a mediocre team in Washington with a underachieving QB in RG3 and not watch a playoff team in the Colts and a potential MVP in Luck? You have your priorities messed up
Smothered Chicken!
Jacksonville is not executing at a high level, haven't all year. But whenever we play these guys, it's always a messy game. Our execution against Jax was not near as clean and dynamic as it was against Miami. I can't explain that, I don't think Jax has a better defense than Miami.
I'm going to look at things like having only 3 days of prep and little rest as possible reasons as to why we weren't as crisp. It *was* nice to finally generate some defensive turnovers. To consider our current winning streak, and the fact that during that stretch, we hadn't generated a turnover until this game is amazing.
Bottom line though was Indy made more plays than Jax on both sides of the ball. We were balanced throwing and running the ball. We played good D. We played well on ST. Was a fairly complete, balanced effort. Just gotta reduce the miscues that kill drives.
Our offense also really needs to work on red-zone execution and finishing drives. Luck had two turnovers in the red zone.

Why are posting in Colts game threads?
Why havent you made a Redskins or Denver thread?
Why do you have the Colts logo under your name???????
This is embarrassing. FYI, probably getting banned for this. Cause i've already received a threatening email from a mod. So if so... Go Colts, Go Pacers !
I stayed with this team all of last year when they were 2-14. I stayed through the Jeff George years, the Harbaugh years, the Bert Jones years and all of the QBs inbetween. I never wavered one time in supporting the Colts. So, I hardly think I am a bandwagoner. The team is winning and I am getting off. Does a bandwagoner do that? If they do then I must be one....
You won't get banned for this post. You said nothing wrong and you didn't call anyone names. I will no longer follow the Colts and I have no interest in starting any thread for any other team here. I will continue to follow the Pacers here. I will change that logo to Denver just for you.....

CONCORD, N.C. - NASCAR took the unprecedented step of effectively altering its results Monday, putting Ryan Newman into the Chase for the Sprint Cup and removing Martin Truex Jr.
Gone from the Chase for the Sprint Cup is Michael Waltrip Racing driver Truex Jr., who made the Chase after teammates Clint Bowyer and Brian Vickers manipulated the outcome of Saturday night's Richmond race under orders from the team.
Although Newman, whose Chase hopes were seemingly thwarted by MWR's foul play, was installed into the Chase, Jeff Gordon, who was also a victim, remained out.
NASCAR levied a record-setting fine of $300,000 and docked each driver 50 points.
Curiously, though, it made the points penalty affect only the regular season - meaning Bowyer will be able to start the Chase only 15 points behind leader Matt Kenseth.
Newman made the Chase and Gordon did not because the 50 points dropped Truex behind Newman in the wild card race. Gordon failed to make the top 10 in points and was not eligible for a wild card.
MWR general manager Ty Norris, who ordered Vickers to pit late in Saturday race, also was suspended indefinitely.
Newman was en route to making the 10-race playoff with a victory Saturday night at Richmond International Raceway until Clint Bowyer spun out by himself with seven laps left.
Radio chatter and in-car camera footage later revealed Clint Bowyer may have spun out on purpose. Afterward, Bowyer lost two laps and teammate Brian Vickers mysteriously pitted, helping MWR's Martin Truex Jr. make the Chase instead of Newman (the outcome was decided on a tiebreaker).
Newman initially declined to comment on the possible funny business, but after getting more information said he believed MWR directly manipulated the outcome.
"It's pretty obvious to me the decisions that were made and the communication led up to that," he said before the announcement. "What happened to me on Saturday night is the toughest thing I've ever gone through in any kind of racing in my 30 years of driving because of the way everything went down. In hindsight, it hurt that much more."
Jeff Gordon also missed the Chase when MWR's tactics put Joey Logano into the top 10 and bumped Gordon out.
With MWR teammate Truex Jr. among a handful of drivers fighting for a wild card slot, the timing and the way Bowyer spun seemed suspicious to some.
MWR teammate Vickers also was embroiled in the controversy thanks to math. Numbers from the last lap reveal the following: Vickers ran a 79.564-mph lap - more than 30-50 mph slower than any other car in the top 25. Bowyer also managed to lose two laps and nine positions by seemingly dawdling in the pits despite a fairly harmless spin that caused little damage to his No. 15 Camry.
The result? Joey Logano gained enough points on Jeff Gordon to knock him from the top 10 -- and a championship berth - and open a wild-card slot for Truex Jr.
Here's a look at the in-car audio from Bowyer and Vickers:
Clint Bowyer audio
With nine laps to go
Spotter Brett Griffin: "(No.) 39 (Ryan Newman) is going to win the race. ... Well, that kinda sucks. Nine more (laps) right here."
Crew chief Brian Pattie: "Is your arm starting to hurt? I bet it's hot in there. Itch it."
Clint Bowyer: "Oh yeah."
Griffin: "Right with you, 88 (Dale Earnhardt Jr.). Right with you, right with you, right with you."
(Bowyer spins out)
Pattie: "I think that tire was going down the whole time, man."
Brian Vickers audio
(With four laps to go)
Crew: "We're probably going to pit here on green."
Vickers: "Are you talking to me?
Crew: "Yeah, we're going to pit."
Vickers: "What? I've got to pit? ... I don't understand. Pit right now?"
Crew: "You've got to pit this time. We need that one point."
Vickers: "10-4. Do I got a tire going down?"
Crew: "Yeah. ... Come down pit road right now, get a good look at it."
Vickers: "Did you find anything?"
Crew: "I'll see you after the race, Brian. I owe you a kiss."

Addiction and Substance Abuse
I live in a top floor flat. I have an old man who lives below me and a husband and wife who live in a flat across from me, I smoke in my flat ad am worried that my neighbors can smell my smoke. The flat that is across from me isn't right next door because there is a hallway and stairwell in between, so I think maybe the smoke couldn't travel that far, but I'm not sure or if the flat below can smell it either. Can anyone help?
You pose an interesting question. Of course, the best people to answer this question are probably the neighbors you have mentioned. I also presume that you have received complaints from someone, otherwise it seems unlikely that you would write.There is increasing concern about exposure to secondhand smoke in shared residential buildings like the one you occupy. Often the smoke travels through shared ventilation, shared stairs and hallways and closely associated window openings. If you ever smell someone else's cooking odors, they are probably suffering from your secondhand smoke.Perhaps the more important question is why? Your smoking is probably costing you a great deal of money each year and certainly shortening and worsening your own life. Is this what you want? Are your neighbors the issue, or is it you? You can quit. Go speak with your doctor. Maybe this is just your wake-up call.

She has also conducted research that examines the role of the workplace in explaining social health inequalities. Her research spans multiple levels of analysis, from studies at the individual, group, and organizational levels to longitudinal studies of within-individual change across time.
This research has been published by the Journal of Applied Psychology, Journal of Applied Social Psychology, and Journal of Business Ethics, along with several chapters in recent books, including The Handbook of Organizational Behavior and The Handbook of Industrial and Organizational Psychology.

I've seen people post in two or three different occasions when they got linkslammed by multiple sites, and they all said that visitors coming from Slashdot were by far the bulk of the traffic, with a much larger initial spike and a much longer overall wave. The biggest reason is probably that stories stay on the Slashdot homepage much longer than links fall off the bottom of the Digg homepage.
I don't know if it's competition in that exact sense.
What I see is more that Slashdot was up to par with the status quo until recently. Noone at Slashdot had specific incentive to improve upon the interface. Then the AJAX wave broke out, and people started to think about how to use that for a community site – and these people do have incentive to improve upon Slashdot. So basically they're doing R&D for Slashdot. Anything they come up with, Slashdot will eventually catch up to.

An article in the January issue of Dairy Herd Management on understanding Hispanic culture generated a fair amount of controversy. Some people pointed out that the article over-generalized about Hispanics and even contained some offensive references.
For this, we apologize.
It certainly was not our intention to offend; we were simply looking for ways to bridge the understanding between Anglos and Hispanics, since Hispanics are so important to the U.S. dairy industry. There are some cultural differences, but our story obviously did not relate those as effectively as it should have.
It's one thing to attend a conference and hear people verbally describe things. (Much of the information for the article did come from a conference.) But when you try to put the same message in black and white, as we did with a printed article, it can appear more stark than intended.
Again, the burden is on us to translate that information correctly.
It was a mistake on our part to say that Hispanics are socialistic. Just look at the number of people coming to this country from Mexico to embrace capitalism and the opportunities it has to offer.
What about Mexico and the other Hispanic countries? Do they tend to be more socialistic than the U.S.? One reader commented that as far as he knows, the businesses in all of the countries where his dairy employees come from are privately owned and there is very little or no public or cooperative management by the government — the exception being oil in Mexico.
Another section of the article read, "Hispanics are very intelligent, but they have been raised in countries that cannot put education at a high priority because of their economic situation."
Hispanics do place a high value on education. Unfortunately, there are economic circumstances in some of the countries they were raised in that keep them from pursuing education as much as they would like.
One of the biggest complaints about the article had to do with a reference we made to corruption.
The article stated, "Be aware that Hispanics come from a culture where corruption and mistrust are commonplace."
Unfortunately, corruption is commonplace throughout the world. The same can be said of the United States. Just look at all of the scandals occurring here, including Bernie Madoff, Wall Street and the banking system.
It is a mistake to generalize these things to one part of the world.
Even the attempts we made to be complimentary, such as pointing out the importance Hispanics place on family, seemed to fall flat. Some readers pointed out that many Anglos are family-oriented as well — to single one out over another is an over-generalization.
We have run other stories in the past, pointing out cultural differences, and we never got any negative comments. But our story in January got more than its share.
A number of comments came from Colorado. So, my response was to send one of my associate editors to Colorado to meet with some of the people in person. We ended up with a new article that appears on pages 26-31 of this month's issue.
It is our intent to "set the record straight" and take a positive approach moving forward.
We are sorry for any misunderstanding and will work harder than ever to promote cultural understanding,

The Baton Rouge-based Louisiana Sweet Potato Commission is taking to the streets this winter to promote its crop to consumers.
Unlike in the past when the commission used traditional media, including billboards, this year it's going mobile with advertisements on produce delivery trucks, according to a news release.
The commission has teamed with All Over Media, Maple, Grove, Minn., which specializes in non-traditional advertising to reach the "on-the-go" consumer, according to the media company's website.
Truck advertising combines the immediacy of point-of-purchase advertising with the visual power of billboards, according to the release.
The trucks will carry the commission's logo, website address (www.sweetpotato.org), sweet potato photos and the message, "Be Loyal, Buy Local," from November through March.
The trucks will drive their normal routes to grocery stores in Louisiana's largest cities: New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Monroe, Alexandria, Lafayette and Lake Charles.
Rather than unload at docks, the trucks will make deliveries in front of stores in plain view.

APTOS - A search and rescue mission was launched Sunday for a 74-year-old Redwood City man who went missing from Monte Toyon retreat center in the Aptos Hills, the Sheriff's Office said.
The man was reported missing when he didn't come to a 9:15 a.m. church service, sheriff's Sgt. Robin Mitchell said.
"He is a happy, healthy, very fit 74-year-old who probably just took a wrong turn," Mitchell said.
The man practices yoga and might have gone out to the woods to meditate and then become disoriented, she said.
Authorities did not identify the man, but said he was with a large group of church friends.
Mitchell said the man's wife had been notified and that Sheriff's search and rescue team members were out in force looking for him Sunday afternoon.
Monte Toyon borders the Forest of Nisene Marks State Park, she said.

POMPANO BEACH, Fla. - Pompano Beach mayoral candidate David Baumwald had his rights restored to run for office after compiling a lengthy rap sheet, including felonies. The question: Is he being honest about his past?
When asked about his criminal record, Baumwald mentioned a crack cocaine conviction, saying that he was getting a ride home with a girlfriend who wanted to get a joint. He claimed undercover officers threw crack inside the car instead and characterized the arrest as a "one-time thing" and being in the wrong place at the wrong time."
But records obtained by Local 10 show Baumwald, 47, had two crack cocaine arrests between 1997 and 1998. He was also convicted of possessing and dealing in stolen property and was arrested for theft, prowling, trespassing, and violation of probation.
"We all made little mistakes when we were kids," said Baumwald, who was 33 when he served 13 months in prison on the crack conviction.
Despite the drug arrests Baumwald claimed he never used crack.
"You went to prison for it. You're telling me and you're telling all the voters of Pompano that you never smoked crack?" Local 10 reporter Bob Norman asked him.
"No. I smoked some cocaine once, or twice, actually," said Baumwald. "I don't ever remember smoking crack, no."
Baumwald said he was charged with prowling when a neighbor saw him urinating by the street. He was also charged with violating of probation in 2001. When initially asked about that, Baumwald said, "No, absolutely not. I didn't have probation. I was clear."
"You were charged with violation of probation in 2001," said Norman.
"I was charged with not showing up to probation on time," Baumwald answered.
"Right, so you had probation and violated it," said Norman.
"I had probation," said Baumwald.
Baumwald said he's since turned his life around.
"I have learned so much from life experiences from those situations that other people will never know," he said.
"So you think the criminal past is a good education for becoming mayor?" asked Norman.
"That's an interesting question," said Baumwald. "I don't think people should go out and get arrested to get an education, no."

The Obesity Problem and How to Play It
The conventional wisdom is that we are living longer. As we look back over the lifespans of those who were born decades before us, that view is correct. However, new data suggest that the trend could be starting to reverse.
A new study published by the National Research Council and Institute of Medicine found the U.S. near the bottom of 17 affluent countries for life expectancy, primarily because of high rates of obesity and diabetes, heart disease, chronic lung disease and arthritis....486 more words left in this article.
