Something to Tweet About: how to make social media work for your charity
Social media is the number one reason we use the internet. More than a quarter of the time you and I spend online is spent on a social media site – this is more than we spend emailing, online shopping, or on anything else. And it's worth noting that social media is not a fad. Individual platforms come and go (when was the last time you logged on to your MySpace page?) but the hyper-connectivity and functionality common to all popular platforms (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc) are a fixture of modern life.

Working Boards: Who is governing whom?
By Michael Davidson
The Challenge
Establishing a workable distinction between the governance responsibilities of the board and the management responsibilities of the staff is a continual challenge for every nonprofit organization.
Resolving this is made additionally complex when there is minimal or no staff; when board members deliver the programs and are at the same time responsible for the policy direction and oversight of the programs. The board members are, in effect, overseeing themselves.

How To Construct A Socially Responsible Marketing Plan
By Amanda Haynes
In the coming years, many companies and small business owners will need to consider how they can create a socially responsible marketing plan, since there has been a major initiative over the past few years to encourage businesses to do just that. Since companies are gathering more power these days, they're also feeling more responsible for things that go on in society. This means that they will need to be prepared to create marketing campaigns that provide people with useful and truthful information. There are many people who have begun creating these kinds of ads in these different commercials, since they are proving to be effective and simply the right thing to do.

Gender and Investing: Where are all the women?
By Bonnie Foley-Wong
In my first post, I shared my story about starting an investment company, from scratch, and I described my concept of Integrated Investing, an impactful approach to investing which starts with integrating information from analysis, emotion, intuition, and body into our investment decisions. Integrated Investing is for both men and women, but women have stepped forward as early adopters, so I'm often asked about gender and investing.

Content Is Oxygen to Gary Vaynerchuck
By Mardy Sitzer
I had the honor of attending a chat with Gary Vaynerchuck (@garyvee) today, hosted by UBS and LinkedIn. It was literally Gary in a seat with a mic and over 150 of us with questions. At first I thought "oh no this is going to go nowhere real fast" but I have to say – Gary was brilliant and the audience was top notch in asking great questions.

A Look At The Role Of A Nonprofit Board
By Michael Davidson
In leading board workshops I have found it helpful to ask participants to look at the question of why we have boards by comparing not for profit boards with the boards of for-profit corporations.
If the for-profit board exists to provide oversight and strategic advice to protect the interests of the shareholders, who are the stakeholders whose interest the not for profit board should be protecting?

In the "new normal" economy, fundraisers have to work smarter to earn their share of a more modest pie. Even with the Dow soaring to new heights, donors remain sober in their giving. Nonprofits must abandon "the usual" to realize even usual results.

The Birthday Massacre
New wave revival outfit the Birthday Massacre formed in London, Ontario, in 2000 -- originally dubbed Imagica, the founding lineup was comprised of frontwoman Chibi, guitarists Rainbow and M. Falcore, bassist Aslan, keyboardist Dank, and percussionist O.E. After recording a seven-song demo session, Dank left Imagica and the remaining members relocated to Toronto, where a second demo release followed in mid-2001. Upon renaming itself the Birthday Massacre, the group released its debut LP, Nothing & Nowhere, in the summer of 2002. With the resignation of O.E., the lineup welcomed keyboardist Adm and percussionist Rhim prior to recording a follow-up EP, 2004's Violet. Adm quit the Birthday Massacre prior to an expanded European release of Violet on the German label Repo -- in 2005, the band signed to the Metropolis imprint to issue the disc in North America and the U.K., adding keyboardist O-en for a tour of Western Europe. In 2007 the band released their third album, Walking With Strangers, on Metropolis, then set out on tour with Mindless Self Indulgence and Julien-K. Three years later, the band put released 2010's Pins and Needles, followed up quickly by an EP, Imaginary Monsters, in 2011. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi

When TBM first appeared on Vendetta, my original station, I found them an interesting novelty. Then I heard Pins and Needles, and my love of them was cemented.
They wield such a GORGEOUS mix of gentle melody and heavy beat, of angelic vocals and dark themes, that I fell head-over-he e l s in love! I hope I can see them in concert some time. There's no better way to say it: These guys ROCK. :-)

My dad likes The Birthday Massacre. Then again, he has a rather eclectic taste for music.
Pale and Shallow Grave - Awesome Sauce!
I don't like goth rock, and I feel like I shouldn't like this band... but I do.
Just found out about them and they are in my top 5 now for sure :)
They have this really creepy Alice in Wonderland theme or something that I don't know why,but it just gives me the creeps. O_ o
One of my all time favorite bands! They are great live and are SO good to their fans! I love them for "always"! :)
Don't read this because it actually work. You will be kissed on the nearest Friday by the love of ur life.tomorro w will be the best day of ur life.however if u don't post this you will die in 2 days.now you've started reading dont stop . This is so scary put this on at least 5 songs in 143 minutes when done press f6 and your lovers name will appear on the screen in big letters this is so scary because it it actually works
Goth rock is their genre, as is lacuna coil and within temptation. One of my fav genres, and Birthday Massacre is definitely in my top ten bands leading it.
All their song lyrics are so unique>.<-I wonder what genre they fall in,but it sounds great so who cares ^.^
they are AMAZING. Unlike those people who just scream during the song, they actually have lyrics, but they still can be hard emo rock. I LOVE how creepy their music sounds!
One of the best concerts I've ever been to - they are fantastic in person and on cd. I wish them nothing but success! Love her voice!
I LOVE their album covers, especially the one for Walking With Strangers; its kind of creepy when you think about it...
pretty sure the first song I ever heard from them was Red Stars....... w a s immediatly hooked
Found via Lacuna Coil station a couple years ago, everything they have put out is great, no filler chit like most bands stuff in their albums. BTW the new Lacuna album is a keeper too....

School Secrets: 5 things to know about Emerson
Charles Wesley Emerson founded Emerson College, renowned for its arts and communication programs, in 1880. Located in the Theater District, adjacent to the Common and mere minutes from Downtown Crossing, Faneuil Hall, and plenty of other great areas, Emerson is smack-dab in the heart of downtown Boston.
Among the many perks of life as a Lion, students said they especially appreciate the cafeterias new milkshake machine and the fitness centers free personal training sessions, the latter of which are important because so many students are pursuing degrees in fields with an emphasis on vanity -- theater, broadcast journalism, political science -- said Emerson sophomore and fitness center employee Gigi Watson (and possibly because of the number of milkshakes theyre all drinking).
Its probably not that cool, but we think its awesome, Watson also said of the milkshake machine.
But its more than just Emersons milkshakes that bring all the boys (and girls) to the yard. Here are five more neat things about Emerson life.
Bludgers, Quaffles, and Snitches, oh my! In 2007, Emersons Quidditch team began with 14 freshmen who thought it would be a fun idea to try, according to their website. The team has since expanded to an organization with more than 200 members and five teams. Much like Hogwarts houses, each team has its own personality, Watson said; all-stars from each team form the schools Quidditch World Cup team.
Tryouts are very intense, Watson said. Some people get upset.
Although not many Emerson students support the schools sports teams, Watson said she enjoys watching Quidditch games, usually held later on Sunday afternoons. You wake up late, get breakfast, go to Quidditch, she said. Its our own little tradition.
Emerson understands the saying location, location, location. Emersons Boston campus is in a pretty sweet spot, but that clearly wasnt enough: The university's study abroad locations include a Los Angeles campus and a castle in Kasteel Well, the Netherlands. Yeah, you heard me right: a castle in the Netherlands.
It was amazing, said Braden Joyce-Schleimer, an Emerson senior, who took part in the castle program during his sophomore year. I was really lucky. I got to live in the tower of the castle in this cool circular room overlooking the castle moat.
Watson hasnt had the opportunity to go to the Netherlands, but she said shes very satisfied with Emersons Boston campus.
I just dont think theres any better location in the city to be, she said. My room overlooks the Common and the Garden.
Emersons theater survived the Great Depression. Emerson owns more performance space than any other Boston institution; their properties include the 100-year-old Cutler Majestic Theatre, the Paramount Center, and the Colonial Theatre. Emersons Musical Theatre Society is also the schools largest theatrical student group.
Literally anything you can think of that goes into a musical is completely done by students, including directing, acting in, designing and producing the shows, said Joyce-Schleimer, who has performed in both the Majestic and the Paramount.
Another of the schools programs, ArtsEmerson, brings world-famous performances to Boston. Through the organization, Watson said she got to see The Laramie Project performed by the original writers, as well as the world premier of the sequel, for just $10.
To see the people who wrote it perform it was incredible, she said.
Emersons award show wins awards. Emerson students certainly have a wealth of talent, and they needed some way to showcase it -- hence, the EVVY Awards.
Its basically an awards show that basically just honors student work, Joyce-Schleimer said.
But the EVVYs dont just highlight students various talents; they also require broadcast journalists to televise the event. Joyce-Schleimer said the awards ceremony is the nations largest live, multi-camera television program produced by students.
Its such a good microcosm of what makes Emerson so special and great because it really allows any student in any major to hone their crafts and apply what they're doing, Watson said. Its just incredible to me how kids work together to create fantastic things here [and] use each others talents to the fullest to do impossible things sometimes.
Emersonians embrace all walks of life. The Princeton Review ranked Emerson the no. 1 LGBT-friendly campus in the nation.
Thats a nice claim to fame, Joyce-Schleimer said, adding that the ranking came soon after a huge rally that Emerson students held in the Common in support of the Love is Louder campaign, a project that aims to bring an end to depression, bullying, and discrimination.
There are a lot of different kinds of people that are attracted to Emerson for different reasons, Watson said. Everyone is really willing to learn from other types of people.
Before arriving at Emerson, Watson said she was worried all of the students would be alike, since the school is so heavily into arts and film, but she found the student body to be full of interesting and unique people.
I have lots of friends from different countries and walks of life, she said.
Emerson students, what do you love about being a Lion?

text: Himalayan vegetation can be broadly classified into four types—tropical, subtropical, temperate, and alpine—each of which prevails in a zone determined mainly by elevation and precipitation. Local differences in relief and climate, as well as exposure to sunlight and wind, cause considerable variation in the species present within each zone. Tropical evergreen rainforest is confined to the humid foothills of the eastern and central Himalayas. The evergreen dipterocarps—a group of timber- and resin-producing trees—are common; their different species grow on different soils and on hill slopes of varying steepness. Mesua ferrea (Ceylon ironwood) is found on porous soils at elevations between 600 and 2,400 feet (180 and 720 metres); bamboos grow on steep slopes; oaks and chestnuts grow on the lithosol, covering sandstones from Arunachal Pradesh westward to central Nepal at elevations from 3,600 to 5,700 feet (1,100 to 1,700 metres). Alder trees are found along the watercourses on the steeper slopes. At higher elevations these species give way to mountain forests in which the typical evergreen is Pandanus furcatus, a type of screw pine. Besides these trees, some 4,000 species of flowering plants, of which 20 are palms, are estimated to occur in the ... (200 of 7,580 words)Plant life

The Republicans' new chairman, Reince Priebus, said Monday that the debt has grown to $23 million, including $8 million in unpaid bills, so far this year. The RNC has shed employees and is working to boost fundraising, both from small donors and from larger contributors, he said. The amount of money raised from big donors is at a 10-year low, he said.
Priebus, the former head of the Wisconsin Republican Party, was elected in January to succeed Michael Steele, who failed in his bid for a second two-year term. Steele was criticized over his management of the RNC's finances, with members blaming him for the debt that they said undercut efforts to promote the party's candidates.
FEC filings show the RNC had $725,654 in the bank as of Dec. 31. The party raised $196 million between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2010, down from $243 million during the same period four years ago for the previous midterm election.
The DNC, which reported having $6.2 million in the bank, raised $224 million between Jan. 1, 2009, and Dec. 31, 2010, the first two-year period since 1993-94 that the party controlled the White House and Congress. In 2005-06, when the Republicans controlled the executive and legislative branches, the DNC raised $131 million.
In the 2010 elections, the Republicans captured control of the U.S. House and increased their number of U.S. senators, governors, and state legislators.
"We have a long way to go to build the world-class political organization necessary to defeat President Obama" in the 2012 elections, Priebus said. "I will accept nothing less."

This week on Duck Dynasty, Jep has got himself some new shoes but it sure doesn't help him with his basketball shooting. However, they all had other things to worry about. Like having termites in the warehouse! Now the guys have to find other things to do while Willie is away making a speech.
About that speech, it looks like Miss Kay has roped her CEO son into speaking about his business sense to a handful of older women known as the Golden 60s Club. Miss Kay informs Willie that he is to go pick up lunch for the ladies before his speech. He then meets Miss Carla. She is his driving companion. Actually, she informs Willie that she will be driving him! He is none too happy about it, especially when she repeats everything she says many times over. How many times did she tell him that she has cats?
Meanwhile, the men head over to Godwin's house to find something to do. Uncle Si finds a box that Godwin's uncle left him when he passed away. He pulls out a stuffed jackalope. They decide to visit the local taxidermist because they figure that it has to be worth a lot of money. Unfortunately, it wasn't but they sure did learn a lot from being there. The guys were also quite amazed at the gonads of some of the stuffed animals. Uncle Si had a couple of thoughts for the day. First, he decided that he wanted to be stuffed instead of buried so that it would be like he would be around forever. Second, he thought that he should go into the gonad business.
This week, Willie learned that a bit of patience goes a long way and the family learned of Uncle Si's new crazy business opportunity; selling gonads!
What was your favorite part of this week's Duck Dynasty?

These lenses are great. I have been a contact lens wearer for the past 10 years and this is third type of lens i have tried. I used to wear Focus Monthlies which suited me well for a good few years though i would never go back to them now i have tried Oasys by Acuvue! I changed jobs about 2 years ago and went from an active job to one sitting at a desk all day literally staring at a computer screen. I started getting headaches, my eyes felt uncomfortable and almost painful. I saw my optician and he said that when you stare at a screen all day your blink rate can drop to almost nothing - which dries out contact lenses no end and can actually have an effect on ...

I was recommended these lenses by my optician a few months ago after 17 years of almost constant use with various types and brands. At first they seemed very sticky and for the first few hours of the first week of wearing them my eyes were quite tired. This however soon subsided and the lenses are now sitting nicely on my eyeballs. The fit seems a lot smoother than other lenses I have used, and the general feeling on the eyes is very clean and fresh. I have had no problems with storing them or getting them in. On other occasions I have struggled to get lenses to sit on my fingertip when they are wet but I have never had that problem with ... Read the complete review

Just transferred to using these. They are lightweight and feels like they arent there. They are breathable and can be slept in which is perfect. Can be a bit fiddly to get in as they are so ligthweight and I have lost 1 in the past. They are more expensive than the last lot I used. Transferred due to an eye condition and it has improved with the use of these contacts. They feel fresh every morning. Acuvue are the only contact lenses I have used since getting them 6 years ago and overall I have never had a problem with them. I swim in them even though your not supposed to and it hasnt affected my eyes yet. I would reccomend using these. Do not put them in water .. Read the complete review

I used to wear these lenses before I converted to dailies. I started off with monthlies, and got gradually down to dailies. In this transition, I came across the Johnson & Johnson oasys. These lenses are truly the most comfortable lenses in the price range. These are especially for people like me, with drier than normal eyes. These lenses actually do deliver on all their claims just keep them on even over night and it would not be a problem, I changed from these lenses to Johnson and Johnson dailies only because I am to lazy to clean lenses and store them properly. It is just so much easier to put on new ones every time. Any ways if ... Read the complete review

These are the most comfortable contact lenses I have worn in nearly ten years of use. Previously I have been concious of dry and gritty eyes towards the end of the day but with these lenses I have not experienced this at all. The price of these is slightly more expensive than some of the other contact lenses on the market but I would say the general improvement in comfort justifies this. The option of extended wear with these lenses overnight is another big benefit, if I forget to take my solution or case with me somewhere it is not a massive problem as it may have been otherwise. The '123' indicator on the inside of the lens makes it far easier to see if it is ... Read the complete review

Prior to fantasy drafts each year, you will likely hear arguments about the efficacy of drafting RB "handcuffs."
Well, we are now two weeks into the 2013 NFL season and we have already seen players escape their handcuffs and take center stage for their NFL and fantasy teams.
True, some backs like Fred Jackson and Knowshon Moreno weren't your classic young runner behind the established starter. But F-Jax is getting a lot more work than everyone thought he would behind C.J. Spiller, and Moreno, the more experienced player, has proved his worth to Peyton Manning and the Broncos over rookie Montee Ball and second year runner Ronnie Hillman. The same would have been true of the Colts' Vick Ballard but he is now out for the season and thus not in your fantasy plans.
I am pretty sure that Jackson and Moreno aren't available on your waiver wire (if they are please stop reading this immediately and go put in your bid/claim), but they check in after two weeks as RB16 (Moreno) and RB24 (Jackson), and ahead of players drafted much earlier like Steven Jackson, Maurice Jones-Drew, Stevan Ridley, Ray Rice and Frank Gore.
It is why the better players rostered them instead of taking a second quarterback or top defense or kicker in the middle of their drafts.
It is also why they, and hopefully you, drafted true handcuffs like Bernard Pierce (who may start for Rice this week), Ben Tate (who is sharing time with Arian Foster while he gets up to full health) and Jacquizz Rodgers (who will split backfield duties for the Falcons with Jason Snelling while S-Jax is out, currently thought to be 2-4 weeks). Snelling should be picked up in almost all formats this week for his value to Atlanta in short yardage or goal line situations or in case Jackson is out longer. Snelling will get more carries while Rodgers will get more passing targets.
Not all backup runners really have the value they should. The question is how effective would they be IF they were the starter? So team and scheme are very important. But should Rice have more than the reported hip pointer or further injure it, it is clear Pierce would be very effective, and Tate always runs well in Foster's shadow and would be a RB1 if Foster could not play at any point later this season.
The same could be said of a similar runner, the Eagles' Bryce Brown, who gets a handful of carries now for Philadelphia but would be a valuable RB2 or Flex starter if LeSean McCoy were to miss any time.
I don't think James Starks fits the same mold, although he was great last Sunday and will no doubt be added in many leagues this week. Remember scheme/team because at heart the Packers are still a passing team and in some games there aren't enough carries even IF the back is capable.
I do think Joique (pronounced joyk) Bell of the Detroit Lions should he added if available whether you play him right away or wait for Reggie Bush to be totally out of the lineup.
Bottom line is whether they are running backs instead of pink or furry, handcuffs can have a lot of fantasy value.
We still have a few weeks left in the 2013 MLB regular season and hopefully your team is still in the hunt for glory and prizes. But just a week after the regular season ends, my favorite league of the year (and I see action in five seasonal leagues each year) will begin play.
The Arizona Fall League, AFL for short, is THE developmental league for major league baseball. Consider just a few of these numbers for the league's 21-year history:
So let's take a look at who we will see make their AFL debuts in 2013. First, for those not familiar with the league setup, there are six AFL teams whose rosters are populated by players from five major league teams. Here is the player eligibility as defined by MLB, who runs this league:
Roster size is established at 35 players per team.
Each major league organization is required to provide seven players subject to the following eligibility requirements:
• All Triple-A and Double-A players are eligible provided they are on Double-A rosters no later than August 15.
• Each organization is permitted to send two Class A Advanced-level players in addition to the current allowance of two "A-exempt" players (who are under contract as of August 15). Foreign players are allowed as long as the player is not on his native country's primary protected player list.
• No players with more than one year active or two years total of credited major league service as of August 31 (including major league disabled list time) are eligible but a team may select one player picked in the most recently concluded Major League Rule 5 Draft.
• Each team is allotted 20 pitchers but only 15 are designated "eligible" each game day.
Here are the six AFL teams for 2013 with their home ballpark and the five MLB teams sending them players:
EAST Division
Mesa Solar Sox, playing at Hohokam Park in Mesa (Angels, Athletics, Cubs, Nationals, Tigers)
Salt River Rafters, playing at Salt River Fields in Scottsdale (Blue Jays, Cardinals, Diamondbacks, Rays, Rockies)
Scottsdale Scorpions, playing at Scottsdale Stadium (Braves, Giants, Mets, Pirates, Yankees)
WEST Division
Glendale Desert Dogs, playing at Camelback Ranch (Dodgers, Marlins, Reds, Twins, White Sox)
Peoria Javelinas, playing at Surprise Stadium (Astros, Mariners, Padres, Phillies, Royals)
Surprise Saguaros, playing at Surprise Stadium (Brewers, Indians, Orioles, Rangers, Red Sox)
Because Peoria Stadium and the Mariners and Padres clubhouses are undergoing renovation, there won't be a team playing in Peoria, so there will be two teams sharing the facilities at Surprise Stadium and complex.
Play will begin on Tuesday, October 8 and continue through Thursday, November 14 with the one-game league championship between the division winners on Saturday, November 17 at Scottsdale Stadium. That game and the Rising Stars All-Star game, which will be played on Saturday, November 2 at Surprise Stadium, will likely be televised on the MLB Network as they were last year and are must see TV for serious roto players and baseball enthusiasts – unless of course you can join us down here and see the game in person (as will all the attendees of the Arizona First Pitch Forum).
25 of MLB.com's current Top 100 Prospects will be on AFL rosters this fall, including at least two first-round players from the June draft – Chicago Cubs 3B Kris Bryant (out of San Diego State University) and Miami Marlins 3B Colin Moran (out of North Carolina University). The current number one ranked prospect, Minnesota Twins OF Byron Buxton, will be playing for the Glendale Desert Dogs.
I will post a short preview of each team in following columns in the AFL BLOG, but if you needed one additional nugget to get down here and scout your future players – two-thirds of the Cubs outfield of the future, Albert Amora and Jorge Soler, will be playing for the Mesa Solar Sox.
In last week's column, I told you about the quarter million dollar FF grand prize for the FBGPC (Football Guys Players Championship).
On Tuesday night, Greg Morgan and this Captain drafted the "Captain Morgan" squad for this $350 contest. While Greg has other entries in this event, this is my only lotto ticket, so I wanted us to roster as much potential as we could.
While the contest does have the highest ROI for any of the high stakes FF contests, it also has some specific rules to work around. First, the 12 teams in each league play H2H against all the other teams for the first 11 weeks. That is important because you can't get to the $250,000 Championship round without qualifying in your league. The two automatic qualifiers are the team with the best H2H record and the team with the (next) highest total points for the 11 weeks. We want to try hard to go that route because the only other way to qualify is to win the League Championship by winning in both weeks 12 and 13.
That would mean, for instance, that if you were going to wait several rounds for your quarterback, you might want to strike Russell Wilson off your target list. With a Week 12 bye, he can't help you if you need those two wins.
We didn't have that problem in the first round having drawn the #2 pick. So unless our #1 team was mesmerized and took Calvin Johnson, or Jimmy Graham, or Aaron Rodgers, or some lesser running back, we would not be able to draft Adrian Peterson. We would have to settle for the pocket hamster and draft Tampa's Doug Martin. But other teams might think twice about drafting LeSean McCoy or C.J. Spiller, who will also be off in that first playoff – or perhaps play in game.
The big question we faced was WHO would be available at 2.11?
No doubt most of the secondary running backs and top tier wide receivers would be taken ahead of us. Our pre-draft plan was to take either Darren Sproles or Randall Cobb in the second round and then draft one of the stud TE – Jason Witten or Tony Gonzalez – with the second pick in the third round.
Well, both Sproles and Cobb were there, so we took the Saints' halfback first and then decided to go for it and took Cobb in the third round. Theoretically, that meant we would have to make a good guess on which TE to take and when – but sometimes fate assists, and we were able to take Gonzo at 4.11 and then took Pierre Garcon in the fifth round.
With only the top three quarterbacks off the board in the fifth round, we pushed the envelope again and took the best two wideouts we could on the 6/7 turn, rostering James Jones and Tavon Austin. In fact, the sixth round was our only major disappointment of the first half of the draft – if only DeAngelo Williams had made it to 6.11. Cam Newton (6th) and Tom Brady (7th) were taken before our pick in the 8th round so we took Justin Blackmon at 8.11 knowing we would still have a choice of signal callers three picks later. Ultimately, I chose Tony Romo at 9.02 over Colin Kaepernick, but that was really a coin flip as I think either would do fine for our team.
Here then is our lottery ticket – very strong for the starting lineup with just some work needed perhaps for our running back plays.
Pos – Player (draft round)
QB - Tony Romo (9) & Matt Schaub (16)
RB – Doug Martin (1), Darren Sproles (2), Fred Jackson (10), Knowshon Moreno (13), Zac Stacy (17) & Jordan Todman (20)
WR – Randall Cobb (3), Pierre Garcon (5), James Jones (6), Tavon Austin (7), Justin Blackmon (8), Markus Wheaton (15) & Marlon Brown (18)
TE – Tony Gonzalez (4), Justin Thomas (11) & Heath Miller (14)
K – Blair Walsh (19)
DST – New England Patriots (12) (Facing the Bills and then the Jets in the first two weeks)
There are several really good high stakes FF contests – NFFC, FFPC and FFWC – where some of the top players in the country compete for grand prizes of $100,000 to $250,000.
But while those are great contests, the entry fees range from $1400 to $1800. Meanwhile, many of those same top players plus hundreds just like you can get a $350 entry to the FBGPC which also has a grand prize of a quarter of a million dollars.
True, there will be a lot more entries, and yes, it may be akin to a lottery draw in the three-week final sprint, but at least you have the chance to build the team yourself.
So how do you draft a team that will give you a chance to get through your league's regular season in Weeks 1-11 as either the best H2H record or with the most total points or be second in either category, get into the league playoffs in Weeks 12-13 and win the LCG and thus an entry into the Championship Bracket for Weeks 14-16?
First, let's look at the scoring differences – 1.5 PPR for TE with 1 PPR for RB and WR, as well as full credit for offensive players for kickoff or punt return touchdowns. The first is very important, the second not as much, but it would still help you choose additional WR4s.
Combine that with the starting lineup requirements – QB, RB, RB, WR, WR, TE plus TWO Flex (RB/WR/TE) spots. That means you could start four running backs or four wide receivers or three tight ends that get the additional reception bonuses. Really, that means you can draft many different ways.
So what are some things to do or not to do in drafting in this format? (the FBGPC is a collaboration between FBG.com and the FFPC so it uses the same format)
First, you shouldn't even think about drafting a quarterback in the early rounds.
Sure, Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees figure to lead all players in scoring, but the difference in quarterback scoring is very small, especially in points per game. Remember that QBs get four points for passing touchdowns but, like everyone else, six points for rushing touchdowns. This helps the quarterbacks who run more be closer in PPG to the pure passers.
Also, the double flex pushes down the relative value of quarterback scoring. The advantage of not drafting a quarterback in the early rounds is getting more explosive players at RB, WR and TE.
The scoring also makes tight ends more valuable than they are in normal leagues, and while I think some players are drafting secondary tight ends too early, if you did find a second or even third tight end who had a great season, you can play them at those flex spots.
Second, you would like to get either a stud or well above average TE in the early rounds and have an advantage against your league mates.
Third, I want to dispel a myth I see on many FF sites – the wide receiver pool is so deep you don't have to draft them early. While there may be a lot of WRs who are playable at your Flex spots – thus WR3 or WR4, there are a limited number of stud wideouts who are really WR1 or WR2 scorers.
If you thought you would just start the draft RB, RB, RB and then find your WR and TE, you will already be lower at WR1 and WR2 than many in your league.
Given the ability to play any RB/WR/TE in those two Flex spots, you really should be drafting the best player available in your early rounds. Still, I would want to come through the first five or six rounds with two RB, two WR and one TE, leaving room for the other player to be for now your FLEX1.
Lastly, if you are one of those who think you should be drafting the Seattle or San Francisco DST because they were so much better than other teams last year, please look again at the words WERE and LAST. From year to year, barely half the highest scoring defenses (or kickers) repeat their performances.
Leave your DST and K until the very late rounds and instead continue to try and find RBs, WRs, and yes, TEs who may emerge as very playable in those two Flex spots.
So your league wants to have an auction. But the players are all over the country and there is no way to get them all to commit to the same four or five hour block even if there was draft software you really liked. What to do?
Well, one of my new leagues – actually same format but since I won my league last year I was promoted to the League of Champions, the highest bracket of the UPFFL – had faced that in the past and decided on an option available at MFL (myfantasyleague.com). It is a simultaneous online auction.
Each day, each of the 12 teams nominates two players and chooses their opening bid for each player – from $1 to whatever they desire. On the first day, all bids are listed in the order placed and every team in the league has a chance to bid or rebid on any of the players up for auction. A player is bought only after there is no new bidder for 18 hours. So everyone has plenty of chances to review the bids and decide if they want to up their bid or bid more than another team who has the current high bid.
The bid that is shown to the rest of the league is the current bid you made but might not be you maximum bid. In other words, if you put up Aaron Rodgers for $23, it would only show $1 as your initial bid, but every time someone entered a higher bid your bid would increase to match the challenge bid – well at least until someone bid $24. And the max bid is key because as I said, the player lasts for 18 hours but that is as long as the high bidder doesn't change.
Okay, with that background how would I attack the auction board in this 12-team, graduated PPR league (RB=.4, WR=.7, TE=1 PPR) that starts QB-RB-RB-WR-WR-WR-TE-K-DST?
In general, I think you should plan to spend 90% or in this case $180 on your starters, which would leave you $20 for your reserves, most of which will be one or two dollar players. In a 12-team league, the opening free agent list will still have many starting players, so I think the value is getting maximum bang for your buck on your starters.
How to allocate your $180 – really $178 if you are planning on spending a buck each on your K and DST -is the key (and if you are spending more do you know how low the rate of re-appearance on the top-10 scoring K and DST is from year to year?)
Many players will try and buy three 40-plus dollar players. Together with your K and DST, let's say that is $130. That would give you $50 for your remaining four players. And that is certainly doable.
But don't you feel that is settling for what the other teams are giving you for your three studs? Mind you, if I could get a top-3 RB/WR/TE for $40 each, I would be fine. I just don't think you should expect that.
What I tried to do was get two of the best players at those three positions. I would have been fine with Adrian Peterson and Jimmy Graham, or Calvin Johnson and Jimmy Graham. I didn't think it would be Peterson and Megatron but that is what happened as I won Peterson for $60 and Calvin for $57.
Graham went for $42, which I thought was too much – I would rather pay that premium to roster Calvin Johnson over the second tier of receivers who go in the $40 range. In this league, those were:
A.J. Green, Dez Bryant and Brandon Marshall at $45 with
Julio Jones at $42 and Demaryius Thomas at $41
At the tight end position, the next group – Jason Witten, Tony Gonzalez and Vernon Davis went in the $16-19 range, so you see what I mean.
I was actually more surprised with the RB prices – that Peterson stopped at $60 and that Doug Martin went for the same price. To me, there is a clear (at least $5) difference between ADP and Martin, a healthy Arian Foster, and Jamaal Charles. In this league, Foster and Charles both went for $53 while Ray Rice went for $51.
I had no intentions of paying top dollar at the quarterback position when it is so deep this year and the point per game differential will be so small. In this league, Rodgers led the group at $33 with the next group lagging $5-9 behind, so $28 for Drew Brees, $26 for Peyton Manning and $24 for Cam Newton. On a PPG projection (this one from Fantasy Guru.com) that would be 25.4, 25.6, 25.1 and 24.5.
The next two quarterbacks are likely to score 23+ PPG and Matt Ryan went for $19 while Andrew Luck went for $13. I was happy to look to tier three for my starting QB and got Colin Kaepernick (22.5 PPG) for $14 while Robert Griffin went for $16 and Matthew Stafford went for $13.
So my first three purchases were Peterson, Kaepernick and Johnson and I had spent $131. I would have to be careful filling in but I was pretty happy to have the best RB, best WR and a solid top-10 QB.
One thing that can happen with this rotating auction board is very similar to getting time shot in a live auction. I had the high bid on Gonzo at $16 while Witten was at $14 and then got outbid overnight while Witten closed at $16, I had to go to $19 to land Gonzalez – but it did give me another top tier player at the skill positions.
First bids in this auction were on Wednesday, August 15, so we are six days into it as I type this (and maybe close to finished by the time you read it but I will post an update on my last few players) and most teams have very limited funds to buy their last few players. Having snuck in my kickers for a dollar each (Jason Tucker and Phil Dawson – by the way, don't sleep on Dawson this year, kicking for the 49ers means a top scorer at the position and Dawson has a better leg than David Akers) and landing Dexter McCluster for a dollar (sometimes it is right to make an early nomination on a speculative player you are not at all married to but would be happy to get for a dollar).
Here is my squad so far:
QB – Kaepernick (14) and will get a $2 backup
RB – Peterson (60), DeAngelo Williams (10)
WR – Johnson (57), Eric Decker (15), McCluster (1)
TE – Gonzalez (19)
K – Tucker (1) and Dawson (1)
I am currently the high bidder on four more players – Vincent Brown (4), Justin Blackmon (4), Ben Tate (5) and the Buffalo DST (1).
I can't really bid on my last five roster spots until some of those resolve. Well, in fact I will have to bid on two of them Tuesday morning but one can be my DST2 and one can be a speculative RB/WR. I had thought all along I could sneak Blackmon onto my roster for $2 in the end game but someone else obviously had the same idea. I am guessing I will get outbid on Tate, especially with the continued bad news on Foster, but I have lots of other targets for that spot.
It is definitely an interesting way to auction off players – one sure to have you checking the auction board far too many times each day.

Jose Pekerman says he is proud of his players after guiding Colombia into next year's World Cup finals in Brazil.
Trailing 3-0 at the break against Chile, Pekerman's side staged a thrilling comeback, with a goal from Teofilo Gutierrez's and two late penalties from Radamel Falcao confirming Colombia's place at the finals for the first time since 1998.
Dudu Awat believes Eli Gutman is the right man to lead Israel into the Euro 2016 qualifiers, even though they finished their World Cup campaign with a little more than whimper.
Gutman faces an anxious wait to find out if he will be given a new contract, but it appears two draws against Group F runners-up Portugal should be enough to persuade the IFA.
Stirling Kay has been appointed manager of North West Neasden after Andrew Goldman stepped down due to other commitments.
Goldman bowed out with a 7-0 victory over Hendon United Sports Club B and leaves the club lying fourth in the MGBSFL Division One table.
With the season in full flow, here are the latest rumours from changing rooms up and down the MGBSFL.
New Oakwood keeper Dan Cohen claims he had offers from "12 clubs" for his signature before penning a deal with Oakwood.
There are some real David versus Goliath style battles in the second round of the Cyril Anekstein Cup this weekend, as Danny Caro looks ahead to all the action and goes head-to-head with MGBSFL stalwart Gabriel John of Catford & Bromley in Challenge Caro ahead of Matchday 8 of the season.
------------------------------------ ------------------------------------
There's a good mix of players from the division in this week's master class.
1. Ben POLLINS (AC Whetstone) - pulled off some stupendous saves against Hendon
2. Dominic CHENIART (King Crown) - former London Lions star produced a big shift at the back and showed good tekkers from the penalty spot
LEEDS SUNDAY ALLIANCE LEAGUE LEEDS MACCABI 1st 8 SCHOLES SUELO 2
Leeds Maccabi produced not only their best scoreline of the season so far, but also the best performance this season with an emphatic 8-2 victory away to Scholes Suelo in the Leeds Sunday Alliance League.
There's a familiar face in goal in the top team from the top division of the MGBSFL. Here are the stars from Matchday Seven of the MGBSFL.
1. Oli Colmans (LML Blue) - former Brady no. 1 rolled back the years with a quality display on his return to action at the Lane
There were goals galore in Division Two on Matchday 7 of the MGBSFL. And here are the star men.
1. Daniel KOSKY (Faithfold B) - capped a fine performance with the division's save of the week
2. Ben GRAHAM (Blizzard Storm) - put in a big shift in the win over Oakwood
3. Rob SANFORD (FC Team C) - "outstanding" against Raiders B
Israel ended their World Cup qualifying campaign in disappointing fashion with a 1-1 draw at home to Northern Ireland.
Having already secured a third place finish in Group F, Eli Gutman's troops were unable to see off determination opposition in Tel Aviv.

the Day the Earth Stood Still in Review by Pair a Normal Guys Inc
The unofficial numbers of box office earnings for The Day The Earth Stood Still is an estimated $US31.5 million taking first place in sales this weekend. This is according to studio estimates. I myself will be venturing this evening to watch this highly anticipated film, from the general reaction of film goers this motion picture is worth the watch.
This movie is certainly worthy of watching in my opinion, the film begins in a sort of The Matrix mashed up with The X-Files. Let's call it The Matrix-Files. Keanu Reeves delivers a performance equal to Neo Anderson where as Jennifer Connelly portrays the sexy co-star that lights up the screen. Jaden Smith will no doubt be a Hollywood regular with his fine performance.Without giving away the entire plot the battle scenes along with the Robot are an extremely well designed action scene. Keeping that in mind the original 1951 The Day the Earth Stood Still was more sci-fi then action and the remake is more action the sci-fi , it is easily said that modern times in cinema mean modern twists to stories told before. I would recommend this film , especially if you like big pyrotechniques and battle scenes. Also if you have the slightest curiousity in UFOs this movie may interest you. I throughly enjoyed this movie and would see it again. 5 out of 5

Lying motionless inside a dream
Then rising suddenly, I felt a chilling breath upon me
She softly whispered in my ear (forsaken)
I have come for you tonight
Look in my eyes and take my hand
Give yourself up to me
I waited faithfully for night to fall again
Trying to silence the fear within me
Out of the night and mist I felt a stinging kiss
And saw a crimson sting on her lips
I have to know your name
Where have I seen your face before?
My dear, why don't you be afraid?
Take me far away
Close your eyes and hold your breath
Till the ends of the earth
I have come for you tonight
Look in my eyes and take my hand
Fly away with me tonight
Renew my life
Now you are mine
Give yourself up to me

On the heels of a hugely successful Saint Patrick's Day Parade, the McLean Avenue Merchants Association (M.A.M.A.) has announced plans to hold its second annual Fall Festival on Saturday, September 15. The family-friendly event takes place on Yonkers' McLean Ave, in between St. Barnabas Place and Harding Ave, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
The festival wishes to build on the success of last year by offering a wider variety of food, drinks and entertainment. It hosts various raffles, rides, games and competitions. The event also features live musical performances by Celtic Cross, the McLean Avenue Band, an Elvis Presley impersonator, a Frank Sinatra impersonator and the award-winning Pearl River (Rockland County) Under-12 Céilí Band.
Vehicular traffic will be barred throughout the festival, allowing attendees to peruse freely local bars, restaurants, and shops. Curbside tents and tables, located on both sides of McLean Ave., afford vendors an opportunity to showcase goods and services.
R.J. Puma, chairman of M.A.M.A. and proprietor of Artuso's Pastry Shop, says: "With the amount of food establishments we have down here, not just bakers and butchers, we have tons of restaurants and bars – Chinese food, Japanese food, Thai food, we have Mexican food, sushi, Italian food, of course. We have such an array, a variety of food down on the strip. It's almost as if we have our own little restaurant row right here in Woodlawn. So I believe that is a great draw for this area to come down and see what our neighborhood has to offer."
Steve Janetti, vice-chairman of M.A.M.A. and editor of the Yonkers Value Guide, believes that the festival "is a unique opportunity for the residents of Yonkers to meet the small business owners that serve this community.
"It is, also, a chance for families to enjoy and share in a day of fun, food and shopping. The McLean Avenue Fall Festival is a celebration of community and commerce coming together in an exhibition of mutual appreciation."
Excitement among the local residents seems mutual.
"It's great for the neighborhood," says Co. Cork native Mary McPhelim, mother of Anthony and Ryan.
"It's wonderful to see people out and about, especially after the summer."
Rory Dolan, co-owner of Rory Dolan's Pub and Restaurant, believes that "the festival is an opportunity to see all the hard work that the merchants have put in. You can go and bring your family, buy some ice cream and have a great time.
"I believe that it will be bigger and better than the one we had last year. And for many people – particularly in their 40s, 50s and 60s, it's a great chance to relive the friendly neighborhood events they may have had when they were younger."
Angela Quinn, of Liverpool, England, agrees. She enjoys that "it caters to [my kids Calvin, Jane and Pierce]. I had such a great time last year."
Nearby Empire City Casino, located on Yonkers Ave, offers free parking to anyone who wishes to visit the festival. Shuttles will provide transportation to attendees from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Whenever I read about the Irish community in Woodlawn, I'm reminded of the Gaelic League activities and other events I attended at the Woodlawn Presbyterian Church hall from Sept, 1983 thru Dec. 1991, when Belfast native Rev. Campbell Shiel was pastor of that church. In addition to Irish language and history classes, the Gaelic League also held weekly instruction on Céilí dancing and monthly céilís there. At that time regular classes on Irish sterpdancing were given by Anne Sullivan. In adition to which pagpipers ocassionally practised their tunes in the same Presbyterian hall. I also attended an A.O.H. dinner in that hall on Easter Sunday, 1986. Rev. Campbell Shiel passed away in Jan. of '92 but he kind cooperation in the promotion of Irish culture should NEVER be forgotten.
