Emerging club sparks interest in energy solutions
Published: Monday, October 29, 2012

"Practical efficiency" is a term that has become a buzzword in energy sustainability circles. This is the same phrase that Texas A&M Energy Club president and chief operating officer Doug Rickerd and Stephen Hassenflu reiterate when talking about engineering new ways to achieve energy efficiency.
The energy club is a nascent student organization that aims to bolster discussion and promote cutting-edge ideas related to the energy sector. It also brings in experts from the industry with the goal of increasing awareness and knowledge about the field.
"The energy club is on a higher level, a way for students to connect to the industry as a whole. We are focusing on a portfolio of issues; be it oils and gas, renewable energy or sustainability,"
Rickerd said.
While working with the Utilities and Energy Services department, Rickerd said he realized profitability and sustainability could coexist after understanding the steps that the department was taking to monitor and control consumption of electricity. Building on these experiences, the energy club attempts to come up with pragmatic solutions for challenges facing the energy industry.
"We are a new club trying to mesh with the private sector and the University to get everyone involved to form a community working toward the greater good. We are trying to raise awareness about the easy ways to promote energy efficiency. For example, making a building [Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design]-certified and using LED lighting are very easy and convenient solutions," junior finance major Stephen Hassenflu said.
Hassenflu said the clubs main focus is on achieving efficiency without sacrificing productivity.
"We can automate different processes in order to make them more efficient but at the same time we must take care to not trade efficiency for some of the comforts that we have," Rickerd said. "The best way is to find how to balance the two so that they can work harmoniously together."
Rickerd said they want people to look outside the classrooms and figure out how they can help. He said the classroom is great for people to get educated, but it's a real world we live in and we have to work on real challenges.
In order to tackle these real world issues, the energy club works on case studies that address energy-specific topics. It encourages students from interdisciplinary courses to participate and provide innovative solutions to energy problems across Texas. One such recent case study was titled "Power Across Texas." It addressed the issue of energy dissipation to the border towns in Texas.
The other major initiative by the energy club is inviting speakers from the industry to talk about their research or area of expertise and enlighten students. The last group meeting featured John Messer, manager of Enterprise Information Systems from the Electric Reliability Council of Texas. Messer provided the students with a very comprehensive overview of the electricity markets in Texas and across the U.S. The overview provided a start to the club's corporate speaker series.
Assistant professor and head of the electrical engineering department, Le Xie, serves as the faculty adviser to the energy club.
"As the faculty adviser, I am very pleased to see that this campus-wide, student-run organization is thriving in the community. With the track records that the leadership team has shown, I am very confident that their planned events in this year will be successful," Xie said.

David Keith
Vice President of Operations National Religious Broadcasters Manassas, Va.
We're actually expanding our emphasis through our conference to reach the next generation of broadcasters. It's not proven, but from feedback we are receiving, it's a positive move.
We're kind of changing the face of the organization to allow another program to lie alongside our existing program. It's really a miniconference starting a day before the main conference and dovetailing into the existing program. It maximizes the time of individuals who are already coming to the conference. We have a well-established exhibition, so it allows them to participate in that. Participants can buy into one or both conferences.
Edward Edelstein
Executive Director Jewish Educators Assembly East Hills, N.Y.
The big thing we have developed further is taking a portion of the conference outside the hotel, rather than spending 3½ days in the same building. People enjoy the change of scenery, the change of venue. We go to an educational setting, such as a school or museum. It has been a big, constructive change.
We've gone this direction because the same setting gets stale. I've felt that same way as a meeting designer. You may have six dynamic speakers, but no matter how different they are, by the end of the six, they all blur together. Getting out is part of the whole experience. Attendees get to see some local color, and sometimes we're able to maximize the kind of speakers by bringing the conference to them. They may be able to take an hour to talk with us, where if they have to travel to our site, it may end up being half a day.
We find that it enriches the experience.
Mercedes Gutierrez
Events Coordinator Archdiocese of Denver Denver, Colo.
For the past two years that I've been in this job, I've had a pro forma for each event, and at the end is an evaluation that I use to build on for future years. My pro forma has all my contact information, but at the end I have 10 questions I make sure I ask myself.
A lot are logistical questions, post-event follow-ups, really: Did I collect the evaluations so I can update the attendance list and follow up with those who were there and those who were not What was the cost, and what improvements do I make for next year?
Donna Ozmun
Director Lutheran Financial Managers Association Northfield, Minn.
I'm doing more communicating and reminding by e-mail. That has really just come about in the past few years. For example, I'm doing more reminding about upcoming hotel registration deadlines, and more of the conference followup, electronically. From our last meeting, peer questions were submitted, and I sent an e-mail seeking responses. Then everyone was able to reply to the whole group.
It works because we're small; it probably wouldn't work with larger groups. There are some savings, but it's more that it just gives us the opportunity to remind people, to get our name out without additional mailings.
Darren Tipton
Training Specialist North American Mission Board Southern Baptist Convention Fairview, N.C.
One thing that we do better, once our people have enrolled, is personalization of the follow-up and confirmation.
We do a telephone follow-up and then an e-mail letter asking if they have the information they need. We e-mail a map and directions, and three days before the conference, I follow up with a letter with any changes, and include airport information and my cell-phone number.
People want personalization. It takes a little time to send letters and e-mails. But with many of the things you do these days, it seems the response is impersonal. This makes attendees feel like "I'm important to them."

The number of young people leaving the U.S. foster care system without a permanent family is at an all-time high, according to a new report by The Pew Charitable Trusts' Kids Are Waiting campaign and the Jim Casey Youth Opportunities Initiative.
The report "Time for Reform: Aging Out and On Their Own" found that although the total number of children in foster care has decreased, the number who "age out" of the system has grown by 41% since 1998. In total, more than 165,000 young people aged out of foster care between 1998 and 2005 – nearly 25,000 in 2005 alone.
Studies have documented the serious challenges facing many youth who age out of foster care. One in four will be incarcerated within two years of leaving foster care, 1 in 5 will become homeless, only half will graduate from high school, and less than 3 percent receive college degrees.
Based on research data and focus group interviews with youth who have aged out or will soon age out of foster care, the report provides the latest state-by-state information about youth who leave foster care. The ten states with the highest percentages of youth who age out are: Virginia, Maine, Illinois, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington DC, Kansas, Massachusetts, West Virginia, and California. Those states, plus Maryland, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Ohio all had more than 10% of their total foster care population "age out" of the system without a permanent family.
Further, the report found that youth who age out of foster care have spent nearly five years in the system. The national average time in foster care for all children and youth is 2.5 years.

Good news
A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO, I blogged about the depressing case of Deborah Dale, a past president of the North American Native Plant Society whose Toronto garden was destroyed by over-zealous officials who did not understand or appreciate her natural landscaping.
So imagine my joy upon checking the NAPS website this morning, to discover that a couple in Ottawa just won a battle to preserve their own half-acre meadow of pollinator-friendly plants! On July 25, 2009, the Ottawa Citizen reported that the city of Ottawa had rescinded a bylaw that would have forbidden Hank and Vera Jones from retaining their environmentally friendly, wildlife-friendly plantings.
Equally encouraging is the amount of public support the Joneses received: They received legal advice and representation from the Ecojustice Environmental Law Clinic at the University of Ottawa; the Ottawa Citizen published an excellent editorial and an equally excellent opinion piece supporting their cause; the Green Party wrote a letter of support; and the Citizen also published several letters to the editor supporting their cause. For a cheer-making experience, I highly recommend reading some of the articles, letters, and editorials the Citizen has published:
Garden bylaw rescinded (news item)
Councillor calls for scrutiny of bylaws (news item)
Wildlife gardens get new life before council (news item)
Lawn row with city has been won before (news item and photo)
Lawns growing wilder than lawn weeds (opinion piece)
We can go with natural lawns (letter)
Farewell to the lawn (opinion piece)
Changing tastes give new meaning to the word "lawn" (news and photo)
Let the garden grow (letter)
The artifice of the "lawn" (editorial)

Law or no law, I'm just glad my neighbors are fairly tolerant. And that the tide seems to be turning toward a little more common sense.

Neighbors are absolutely key. In every case I can think of, the problems started because a neighbor made a complaint. I assume this is because the enforcement people are too busy to worry about gardens that the neighbors don't mind.
You're lucky to have tolerant neighbors. I'm guessing that you've probably talked to them and explained what you're doing -- that often seems to be a big help.

Sweet merciful crap! The rumors! My god, the rumors. You know, usually I look forward to this time of year so much, because what's more fun than the Hot Stove League? Wondering what big name will don the Dodger blue for the first time, trying to figure out how all the puzzle pieces will fit together for the next year. It's wonderful.
Until the 400th time you hear some two-bit reporter come up with a non-sourced rumor that only benefits his hometown team and somehow gains legs, that is. I've heard some people complain that the Dodgers have somehow been dragging their feet in not making any moves yet, but I just don't see it. We all know that the big-time free agents always wait as long as possible before signing, and other than that the only moves have really been the Giants signing Jeremy Affeldt and the Marlins making a few salary dumps.
Anyway, things have really been coming to a head the last few days, despite the fact that we all know nothing is going to happen until at least the December 1 arbitration deadline and likely not until the December 8 winter meetings, so I figure it's time to check into some of these.
* Good god, Jack Wilson again? Via MLBtraderumors, FOXsports.com's Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Dodgers are interested in trading for Pirates SS Jack Wilson, but that the price (Chin-Lung Hu, Delwyn Young, and a third player) was deemed too high. This isn't the first time we've heard Wilson rumors floating around, and at least this is a little more palatable than when we'd heard Matt Kemp was involved over the summer. But come on, three players for Jack Wilson? He's known to be a good defender and a below-average bat. Which sounds like, oh, I don't know… Chin-Lung Hu? I don't think that Hu's going to get a shot to be the Opening Day shortstop, but if we're going to have a good field/no hit guy there, I think I'd rather the guy who's not getting paid $7.25 million in 2009, is especially atrocious in Dodger Stadium (.558 OPS), and is costing several young players to acquire. At least Hu's got some upside. PASS.
* Wait, Andy Pettitte? Also from Ken Rosenthal, Andy Pettitte has apparently spoken with Joe Torre about a reunion in Los Angeles. If true, this is a tough call. On one hand, he'll be 37 next year, is coming off the worst year of his career (plus a 5.35 ERA in the second half) and after having made $16 million in each of the last three years, is unlikely to want to take much of a pay cut. On the other hand… actually, I don't think there is another hand. I wouldn't mind giving him a shot at a more reasonable price, but if he wants $16 million or anything close to it? I'd rather have Eric Stults. Somehow I feel Torre would disagree with me. PASS.
* Okay, Ken, I see you, you can stop making a scene. Clearly just trying to get my attention, Rosenthal seems to have the Dodgers in on just about everyone, so let's finish with him right here. He's also suggesting that the Dodgers A) should sign Trevor Hoffman and B) could be interested in acquiring Mike Lowell. Though I disagree that Jonathan Broxton needs to be "protected" or somehow can't be trusted, I'm not against signing Hoffman at the right price. He might be 41, but he still bested his career WHIP last year. If the price is right? Why not. As for Lowell, he's 35, injured, and owed $25 million. Just because he's old, busted, expensive and a Red Sox doesn't mean that he has to end up with the Dodgers. Oh… right. Of course it does. OKAY and PASS.
* I agree with T.J. Simers?! I hate it when this happens, but at least this time it's just joining together to acknowledge that Bill Plaschke is awful.
I GO away and Plaschke immediately makes the case again not to bring back Manny Ramirez, while suggesting the Dodgers trade for Jake Peavy, Adrian Beltre and "count on the kids."
Sounds like I'm not the only one in need of some time off.
* Come on Giants! I know the "Edgar Renteria signs with Giants" rumors were proven false (so far), but a man can still have a rooting interest. What could be better than your hated rival, supposedly in a rebuilding stage, committing $18 million and a draft pick to sign an over-the-hill shortstop? Renteria to the Giants! Feel the holiday spirit – if you believe in it hard enough, it can happen!
* And those other guys? Right, CC, Manny, and Furcal. Look, I think we all know the deal with these three. CC's got an enormous offer on the table from the Yankees, but hasn't accepted it yet. Manny got an expensive but short-term offer from the Dodgers, which was quickly rejected while Scott Boras tries to get someone to literally sign their souls over to him. Furcal… well, don't keep your hopes up. By the time you read this, he might have signed with the Giants or A's, but more likely he's not going anywhere for a few weeks. Unfortunately, it does seem that where he does end up, it won't be in Los Angeles – not when he's (apparently) receiving four year offers. After all the injuries we watched him suffer through in his three year deal, don't expect the Dodgers to beat that this time.

As Treasury feeds us a steady diet of how much money taxpayers are making off the Troubled Asset Relief Program, you have to wonder why nobody thought of this idea sooner.
After all, if the worst that can happen from the collapse of the banking system is that we make money rescuing failing institutions, then who really cares how much risk they take? Can the Department of Bank Bailouts be far behind?
This seems to be the undercurrent of the crowing from the Treasury and bailed-out banks themselves as we get regular accountings of who is paying back how much and at what profit.
Most recently, Robert Benmosche, CEO of American International Group,appeared on CNBC andbragged that Treasury would reap a profit of as much as $15 billionfrom the bank's TARP repayments.
AIG recently gave back $6.9 billion and has made an offer of $15 billion to buy back the garbage bonds that Treasury took off its balance sheet during the insurer's rescue in September 2008.
If what Benmosche says is true, then Treasury actually might be lowballing the figure it has provided regarding how much the TARP will make on the $411 billion it has disbursed so far.
"Treasury currently estimates that bank programs within TARP will ultimately provide a lifetime profit of nearly $20 billion to taxpayers," Treasury said in a recent news release. But if taxpayers make $15 billion off AIG alone, the total figure could climb much higher.
True, the notion of a TARP "profit" requires some creative accounting.
As numerous critics have pointed out, much of the reason for the windfall comes from the removal of much of the toxic crap from bank balance sheets onto the already hideous balance sheets at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.
The National Taxpayers Union calls the profit "a myth, a fiction of Washington accounting…because the banks that got bailed out through TARP shuffled all their bad assets over to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which got their own separate bailout. So, really, it should be no surprise that they're relatively healthy."
This seems a small detail to the government's financial minds as banks big and small pay back their TARP cash.
Of the big banks, TARP recently made a $12 billion profit on Citigroup that came on top of $13.5 billion from General Motors and $9.6 billion from Ally Financial and AIG's MetLife equity stake.
Some of the recent warrant purchases have come from First Horizon National ($79.7 million returned to taxpayers); 1st Source Corp ($3.75 million); Fifth Third Bancorp ($280 million); National Penn Bancshares ($150.6 million); Lakeland Bancorp ($20.1 million); Stockmens Financial ($12.4 million); Bridge Capital Holdings ($8.9 million) and Heritage Bankshares ($2.6 million).
Each time it reports a TARP payback, the Treasury includes a stock line in its releases that goes something like this: "Treasury currently expects that TARP investment programs taken as a whole…will result in little or no cost to taxpayers."
Taxpayers, per se? Perhaps not, at least not in a direct way from TARP.
Homeowners are another story. After all, it was the housing market—the crippled housing market, which is now in the throes of a double-dip with horrendous sales and price trends—that suffered the most and continues to suffer.
Last year saw a record 2.9 million foreclosures, and RealtyTrac reports that 1 in every 577 homes received a foreclosure notice in February.
The housing market suffered after banks loaned money to people who couldn't pay it back, then packaged those loans into bonds which were repackaged into collateralized debt obligations and sold at will to deep-pocketed Wall Street investors.
When the underlying value of the bonds collapsed as foreclosures built, both the financial system and the real estate market underpinning those sucker's bets collapsed.
So as Treasury counts the money and sells TARP as the greatest thing since sliced derivatives, the final tally is far from finished. Any thought about creating the Department of Bank Bailouts probably will be on hold.
"They cut out the cancer and passed it right along to Fannie and Freddie," the National Taxpayers Union said of the TARP execution. "The banks have issues with the current foreclosure mess, but the worst loans are no longer their problem, they're taxpayers' problem."

With exceptional levels of both business and leisure traffic in the fourth quarter, the Coral Oriental Dubai is experiencing a record year with business coming from both established and new markets, according to General Manager Tony Homsi.
He said the latest visitor figures issued by the Dubai Department of Tourism & Commerce Marketing demonstrated the scale of the growth city-wide, with overall growth in the first half of 2012 of 10 per cent compared to the previous year, while visitor numbers from Saudi Arabia alone rose 40 per cent and travellers from Russia were up 51 per cent.
"All hotels in Dubai are benefiting from the expansion of air access and the transformation of the city from a stopover and beach destination to one that caters for all markets, all requirements," he said.
"City hotels are now in demand, offering competitive rates and convenient access to all the retail and tourist sites as well as shuttle transfers to the beaches - the Metro has certainly opened up Dubai to the benefit of business guests and leisure travellers alike."
And, while the Coral Oriental has seen high occupancies throughout 2012, the last quarter is proving particularly lucrative for average room rates, added Mr Homsi.
"The hotel rates in Dubai are far more appealing than a few years ago when they became disproportionately high and discouraged visitors. It is good to see a steady stabilization in rates across all types of hotels and apartments, reflecting the value for money that the quality of accommodation in the city merits.
"Events such as the two-week Eid spectacular which attracted around half a million visitors are sustaining the global interest in Dubai as a destination."
Located in Deira just 10 minutes' from Dubai International Airport, the Coral Oriental hotel features 95 rooms and suites, Mediterranean restaurant and café, business centre and boutique conference room, valet parking and Wi-Fi, plus a free shuttle to nearby beach facilities.

This was the 6th edition of the Regional School which has its origin in a bilateral scientific project called "Bilateral Cooperation between the Republic of Croatia and Republic of Serbia in the Protection on National Minorities". Thanks to JP MIN the Regional School has grown this year into a regional tool where students, faculty and other experts openly discuss a wide range of issues pertaining to the protection and promotion of minority rights. A number of items on the agenda directly addressed "expected results" of the Project.
The event will begin with a description of the main elements of an integrated approach to these three issues, followed by an outline of each programme. Then, participants will be invited to take part in working groups covering the cross-cutting topics of "How to better implement antidiscrimination legislation?" (WG1), "How to enhance participation in public life?" (WG2) and "How to approach diversity through inclusive education?" (WG3). The purpose of these workshops is the exchange of concrete best practices.
The conclusions of these workshops will be presented during the closing plenary session. To conclude the event, Mr. Nebojša Kaludjerović, State Secretary for Political Affairs in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and European Integration of Montenegro, Mrs. Gabriella Battaini-Dragoni, Deputy Secretary General elect of the Council of Europe, Mr. Andrzej Mirga, Senior Adviser on Roma and Sinti Issues at ODIHR and Mr. Alberto Cammarata, Acting Head of the Delegation of the European Union to Montenegro, will present their views and expectations regarding the three joint projects and the new sectorial approach.
A press conference will be held on 29 June at 11:30 by representatives of the three organisations.

The venue was not as grandiose as the usual home of Ultimate Reno Combat, the event Collup puts on about every six weeks in the Grand Theatre at the Grand Sierra Resort, but the action inside the cage was still intense. Spectators stood on the floor below the cage on the raised stage and saw six bouts, only one of which made it to the second round.
Fights went so quickly that the Sparks Tribune reporting team of Nathan Orme and Gregg Krupp, who is training to one day fight in the cage, missed the first battle and the second ended so quickly we only got photos of the end. So, enjoy what we got.

The bill, passed in the Senate and House on April 3 and 7, respectively, blocks the court-ordered removal of the beloved landmark in Washington's Glacier Peak Wilderness.
The Senate Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry Committee passed S. 1294, a bill first introduced in 2010 that would protect nearly 20,000 acres of public land.
The pioneers who worked for the passage of the Wilderness Act 50 years ago wanted to protect lands for all future generations. Now those future generations are taking up the torch.
One of spring's greatest joys is its abundance of beautiful wildflowers. From alpine mountains to dense wetlands to steamy deserts, designated wilderness areas feature a plethora of wildflowers, which are thankfully protected as a cherished part of these landscapes.
Since the Wilderness Act was passed in 1964, public lands accorded the federal government's highest level of protection have ranged across 44 states (and Puerto Rico) and covered close to 110 million acres.
Names matter. The word "wilderness" still wrongly carries connotations of danger, desolation, even abandonment (consider the way we use it in popular idioms).
Designated Wilderness, the highest level of public lands protection as outlined in 1964's Wilderness Act, is full of animal life. This ranges from large, iconic mammals, such as wolves, bears and moose, to the smaller and lesser-seen.
Most of us are aware that the Earth is rapidly changing and that natural resources are dwindling.
Designated wilderness areas are delightful places to experience the magical unfolding of spring. Wild lands offer magnificent destinations for outdoor recreation - whether it's hiking, wildlife-watching, climbing, canoeing or snowshoeing.

Public wildlands are suffering from budget shortfalls that harm wildlife and conservation programs. Tell Congress to fund our public lands properly!

Dunno if I should treat it as a bug or as an intentional boost, but I could succesfully throw a smoke from the T spawn throwing it right above the tunnel, just like here:
And it landed and went off here:
A bit too far for me, although it has no real effect on the game. But anyway, the nade flew above both walls: at the beginning and the end of the middle. Would consider fixing that.

damn, thats crasy. hope he gets better
Robert Griffin III suffers knee injury, Kirk Cousins wins game for Redskins
Robert Griffin III suffered a knee injury in Sunday's 31-28 OT win over Baltimore, but that simply set the stage for Washington's other rookie QB to deliver his own signature moment.
Late in the fourth quarter, with Washington down eight, Griffin scrambled and, as he spun to the ground, took a shot from Baltimore DT Haloti Ngata. Ngata hit Griffin in the chest, but the force of the blow caused Griffin's right leg to whip around violently. Griffin's knee (the same knee that he tore an ACL in back in 2009) appeared to hyperextend, and the possible Offensive Rookie of the Year winner walked gingerly off the field.
After a brief conversation with the team's trainers, Griffin reentered the game, only to leave again a few plays later — this time needing assistance to reach the bench after crumpling to the turf.
Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said after the game that Griffin would require an MRI and that no further info on the injury would be available until then. Griffin headed into the Redskins' locker room momentarily before overtime, then stood on the sideline with his leg wrapped.
Hopefully, this situation does not turn out to be as serious as when Griffin injured himself while at Baylor, but he returned to action that day as well, leading four touchdown drives before coming out of the game for good at halftime. Afterward, Griffin expressed optimism that it wasn't an ACL injury, saying, "[it] shouldn't be an ACL. I know what that feels like." (UPDATE: The Redskins announced that an MRI of Griffin's knee found no damage to the ligaments, calling it a knee sprain.)
Baylor coasted to a win over Northwestern State that day; Griffin's team needed more of a boost from his backup Sunday.
Kirk Cousins proved up to the task. As Griffin lay on a table, surrounded by several Washington team doctors, [si_launchNFLPopup video='23d869b1d91a4534b72fc00d5f8d9f91']Cousins floated an 11-yard TD pass in to Pierre Garcon[/si_launchNFLPopup] with 29 seconds left, slicing Baltimore's tenuous lead to 28-26. Following a timeout, Cousins then forced overtime by running in a two-point conversion on a QB draw.
The Redskins did not need Cousins to do anything but hand off in overtime — Richard Crawford (pick No. 213 in April) broke free for a 64-yard punt return to put Washington in field-goal range, and Kai Forbath drilled a 34-yarder for the win.
The Redskins improved to 7-6 with the victory, good enough to keep the heat on the Giants in the NFC East and stay in the wild-card race. Griffin's health will temper the celebration a bit, even if Cousins came through in the clutch.
Wow, I certainly hope Robert gets better. I hyperextended my knee one day playing basketball and it healed in less than a few days. I have to hand it to him to go back out there at Baylor and again for the Redskins. He's a tough one - but I hope he sits out for a while and lets nature do it's thing. I would think he won't need surgery - it's probably not as bad as an ACL like before. Hopefully, it's just hand him to the training room after some rest and rebuild his knee a little. Good luck to RGIII on the rehab.
CKaepernick is most likely next.
Do not believe that there is no injury. It is in fact one. Out 6 weeks.
The problem with RGIII is that he's absolutely fearless and takes these hellacious hits. There is a HUGE difference between a scrambler who gets train wrecked downfield and a mobile QB who can slide around the pocket and buy time outside the pocket for coverage to crack. QB rushing records tell me 4 things:
a) QB has poor O-line protection
b) QB isn't confident in his reads or WRs
c) QB has no patience
d) Coaches are clueless with their investment and are including stupidity in their playbook
The franchise didn't draft him for his scrambling, they drafted him to be mobile and extend plays not just as a rook but 8-10 years down the road. He's not going to make it past his rookie contract with these beatings. He's more than smart enough to learn the nuances of pocket passing like eye, head and shoulder fakes, while combining it with escapability and a rocket arm.
Another cheep shot by a Ravens player. And got away with it as usual--
Every team needs to good QBs. Just ask the Bears.
Sux big time if it's serious. RGIII is a class act all the way around and has sooooo much pure potential.
This is what happens when QB's run with the ball tho. Alot of peeps think his 'greatness' stems from his legs; that may be a part of it, but he has an awesome/strong/accurate arm, and he's got a good head on his shoulders.
What I am saying is, even if this is very worst case and his mobility is severely degraded, he's still a dam good pocket passer. Hasn't seemed to hurt Tom Brady any...
every NFL fan would want him on his team
It was a clean hit by Ngata. Griffin is fragile enough to beat the Ravens, I'd say hardly fragile at all. He came back in after the hit and drove them down the field, then stepped off. Don't hate on a rookie QB that is proving history wrong.
Good clean hit by Ngata. No fine needed. If RG3 is too fragile to play football he shouldn't be playing.
It looks like an ACL to me...
I don't think anyone is surprised he was hurt, it was bound to happen. His style and his body type is not conducive to staying healthy as an NFL QB. He has a small body frame with a lot of added muscle. I would wager he is barely two hundred pounds at this point in the season.
On a positive note Cousins looks like he could be solid.
And despite the GIF being at the top of the article, somehow you made an ignorant comment without seeing the actual event...
@JamesDickason Well that was an ignorant statement.
@destrusdominate Funny calling RG3 fragile. Fragile QBs are those then break their ankle when DLs breath on them. Just look @ 3rd stronger Sexy Rexy. Ripped his knee on a meh-hit. Now, I would call RGIII freak for not tearing up his knee after getting it whacked like that. and Tough for playing on one knee for 3-4 plays.
@destrusdominate Rather obvious that you have never done any physical activity where your knee took a shot.
Stop hatin..RGIII is not too fragile, that was a helluva hit he took. Unlike some whinin' QBs in the league he still returned to the game. And after going to the locker room, he still returned to support and lead his team on to VICTORY! HTTR!!!
@destrusdominate Fragile? I would like to see you get hit like that and then get up and keep playing.
@JoeCabot You have no point. No, I do not play professional football. If i did, i wouldn't be in a forum responding to you? Duh. It's rather obvious you are as dumb as they come. I am just stating the truth that RG3 isn't going to last long in this league because he is a small framed QB, no bulk, and yet he runs 'thinking' that he is invincible. He's going to be injured all of the time!!! That is truth, not 'hatin'.
@nicoleb Puhlease. Lead his team to victory? you mean cheer on Kirk Cousins, who has outperformed RG3 in clutch games, and is a better QB than RG3 to victory. RG3 is too fragile. He won't be playing in 3 years. RG3P0 is a bust. And by the way, it isn't called "hatin", its called "calling out the truth".
@Jared94 Yes, i did not stutter. FRAGILE!!!! He is not going to last long in this game. Comparing me to playing football has no point in the statement that I am making!
@Jared94 @destrusdominate No doubt Jared. He kept going by driving them down the field on one leg!

Student & School Soft Pastels
School pastels are basic sticks of color. Similar to chalk, pastels quickly and efficiently lay color onto a paper (ideally toothed), or a textured board. Pastels make a great teaching tool because they are fast, easy to apply, and the color is unadulterated. Pastels also blend and layer without resist, making complete sketches and studies possible in a short amount of time.
Despite being inexpensive, these pastels lay down a nice amount of rich, bright, pure color - right from the stick.

We introduce the framework of parameterized collections of games and provide three nonemptiness of approximate core theorems for arbitrary games with and without sidepayments. The parameters bound (a) the number of approximate types of players and the size of the approximation and (b) the size of nearly effective groups of players and their distance from exact effectiveness. The theorems are based on a new notion of partition-balanced profiles and approximately partition-balanced profiles. The results are then applied to a new model of an economy with clubs. In contrast to the extant literature, our approach allows both widespread externalities and uniform results.

Atlantic City's struggling Revel resort is revamping its image, and it starts with a name change.
Revel will be renamed "Revel Casino Hotel."
The casino has just emerged from Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection under new ownership and is rolling out a new marketing campaign.
They're focusing on attracting more gamblers.
When Revel first opened, management sold it as a mega-resort offering exclusive amenities and luxury accommodations.
FOX 29's Steve Keeley is live Thursday morning in Atlantic City with the details.
Flames are tearing through a South Jersey forest right now, and this wildfire is only expected to grow.

125cc, 14bhp, 65mph, Insurance group
The SMS4 125 mirrors Husqvarna's championship winning supermoto range and is equally exquisite in its detail. But is this enough for the Husqvarnas to make learner-legal off-road machinery as popular as Yamaha's YZF-R125 has been for entry level sports bikes? The SMS4 125 isn't the cheapest learner legal available at £3219 – but cheaper than the new Lambretta LN125 scooter ...
124cc, 12bhp, 70mph, Insurance group 4
As the name suggests, the Moto Hispania SM1125 is a Spanish made learner legal supermoto. It certainly looks the part and will have young potential customers drooling at shop windows. It's competitively priced, being one of the cheapest in its class, but is let down by poor build quality and by using an old air-cooled Yamaha engine.
124cc, 12bhp, 75mph, Insurance group
It does what is says on the tin but with some added extra style. The four stoke motor is virtually bullet proof if on the slow side and old compared to the two stoke competition. But it's dependable, easy to ride, cheap to run, light, functional but with added extra Supermoto styling.
125cc, 14.7bhp, 103mph, Insurance group 7
The most beautiful novice 125cc bike money can buy – yes, it even outclasses Yamaha's YZF-R125 and biggest competitor Aprilia RS125. The Cagiva Mito SP525 is essentially the long-running two-stroke Cagiva Mito 125 brought up to date in every area and then dressed in bodywork to honour John Koscinski's 500GP efforts onboard the Cagiva V594 circa 1994. In unrestricted form ...
124cc, 15bhp, 60mph, Insurance group 2
The Rieju MRX125 is a pukka dirt style learner trailie from Spain with excellent road manners, quality detailing and tempting price. Four stroke engine is from Yamaha so is proven and reliable. Performance adequate rather than stunning, but all-ropund a great introduction to motorcycling.
124cc, 14.6bhp, 70mph, Insurance group 5
It's like Skoda cars; once you get your head around the concept of riding an MZ, you'll probably realise how good they can be. The MZ SX125 has a gutsy little 15bhp motor, a lanky lad sized chassis and decent off-road ability if you fancy it. Bit expensive compared to Far Eastern 125s, but well made.

As promised, here are a few images from my Feb 2006 trip to the Japanese Garden in Portland Oregon. I defy you to feel Holiday angst while browsing these images. I may need to print one out wall-sized and hang it directly behind my computer.
I'm sorry I waited so many months to say something about my visit to this wonderful garden because my feeling for the place isn't up at the surface. However orderly, misty, and calm comes to mind. I enjoy visiting a garden like this in part because the contrast between my own gardening practice and a garden like this is so extreme and direct. I can't help but be in awe of such constrained tidiness. It is not the kind of constraint that makes the muscles in a certain rear area tense up, but the kind of restraint that freaks you out with its intelligence and sense of purpose. There's a feeling that places like this carry that make me hyper-aware of my behaviour.
Stay calm. Be quiet. Walk slowly. Don't break anything. Good thing I am showered and wearing clean underwear.
I wanted to run around and express my excitment as I usually do when I'm surrounded by new plants and landscapes, making me feel like a keyed up kid in church who's got to stay quiet for a whole fifty-nine more minutes. And despite the twitchiness and the certainty I would stumble on a smooth rock and knock over a 300 year old bonsai, I was surprised that despite our frenzied tourist rush I did become calm, and filled with The Deep Thoughts.
- I am amazed by this staking technique.
- Moss and lichens everywhere. It's adds another level of interest to leafless trees.
- The Sand and Stone Garden
- I took this one while resting on a bench inside a pagoda. Sitting here made me wish we had a garden like this in Toronto that I could visit and sit in quietly for hours on end. Alas we had things to see and places to go which is kind of contrary to the contemplativeness of the Japanese Garden.
- I love the sleek stones against the mossy green ground.
- More moss. More GREEN.
- I tried to be quiet but this camera shutter lands with a deep "thud." I think I may have upset this vistitor's solitude. Sorry dude.

Lawrence Phillips the 2nd!
LSU RB Jeremy Hill pleads guilty to battery; sucker punch video released
LSU sophomore running back Jeremy Hill pled guilty on Friday to simple battery, receiving a six-month suspended jail sentence, reports WBRZ, a Baton Rouge, La. television station.
Hill was suspended indefinitely from the football team in April after he was accused of punching a man at a Baton Rouge bar and knocking him unconscious. Hill was already on probation at the time of the fight after pleading guilty in 2012 to a charge of sexual oral battery.
Hill was formally charged with simple battery, a misdemeanor, earlier this week. He was sentenced to two years of probation, 50 hours of community service, must pay $375, which is half of the victim's medical bills and write a letter of apology.
Hill led LSU in rushing with 755 yards and 12 touchdowns in his freshman season.
The report states Hill also received a six-month suspended jail sentence and has to give weekly updates to a probation officer. Hill was also ordered to not make any comments to the press or on social media.
Video of the punch can be seen below:
Was that guys civil rights violated?
That should be an attempted murder charge... hitting someone in the back of the head is extremely dangerous and should definitely coincide with 1-5 years in prison, not some bs slap on the wrist.
I hope the same thing happens to him, except they use a baseball bat, what a shameless coward, the way he and his friends celebrated afterwards, his apology sounded pretty empty, like most in that situation, the only thing he's sorry about is that he got caught. I hope LSU doesn't give him another chance, but the way most big schools are win at all cost mentality, I would be shocked if they do get rid of that POS.
Hope his career is permanently ruined with stupid, childish, and moronic acts such as this
Isn't this a violation of his previous probation? Shouldn't he be serving some sort of sentence now?
His punishment should be stepping into the octagon with someone who doesn't have his back turned. I would pay $60 to see that.
I am afraid to f art in public from fear of being recorded on someones phone... so I really don't understand why people would sucker punch someone in public. My only thought is that he is really, really and I might add, really stupid individual.
And he was wearing his LSU shirt at the time...great representative and pr for the university and program.Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me (Miles and/or LSU).
The guy just gets up off the ground, gets hit again and and Hill comes up from behind him and hits him in the back of the head. What a chickenschit. Should never be allowed to college football gain.
Not only is he a pu**y for sucker punching the guy, but he also hits like a little girl. He does not ever deserve to attend a major University for free- he should be forced to pay full tuition and all scholarships should be revoked- and he should never play another down for LSU or any NCAA University. Let him toil in DIII or whatever. Get this POS away from society.
A thug and a coward, hitting someone from behind and then walking off...As punishment, they should force him to wear that hideous shirt every day. Secondary punishment includes a cameo on bully beat down, where he can publicly get the punishment he deserves...
Gotta love cowards that sucker punch people.
N word being N word.
A minor on probation, at a bar, assaults someone, and is given probation, again. When this piece of **** ends up killing somebody down the road, you can say, I remember him back when. Kind of like some people can say about Aaron Hernandez. And we all know that LSU won't do anything but suspend him from a half against Southeast Louisiana State.
He's little more than a punk and punks don't last very long
But his coach bears no responsibility whatsoever for recruiting this guy or putting up with him. Because he just suddenly, overnight got this way when he got to college. /sarc off/
NCAA should send a strong message, and I'm sure they will ... no suspension because we like the SEC. It's not like he used campus water to wash his car or anything.
Apologies, Robert Bayardo was the one who hit the person in the back of the head knocking him unconscious. Seems Hill's punishment is right, but the other assailant should definitely be locked up.
@6marK6 He has been suspended from the team as soon as Miles found out and has yet to be reinstated. You may not like Miles but at least he'll actually discipline his players instead of having them pickup trash like Paterno used to do or sweeping it under the rug like Meyer.
@14thforsaken @6marK6 We will see, You say he is suspended from the team? It is July and practices have not even started. What is he suspended from?
@14thforsaken @6marK6 How many drug tests did Honey Badger fail before he was kicked off? Save your "homer" nonsense.
Dude, suspending a guy from practice and team activities is basically giving him a vacation. When the games starts we'll see what kind of suspension he gets. Supposedly bad@ss football player can't fight fair? Is Miles trying to catch up to Urban with the win at all costs attitude?
@6marK6 @14thforsaken He was suspended as soon as it happened and has yet to be reinstated. That means he can't work with the team, practice etc. It also means that it is yet to be determined if he will even be allowed back on the team. Miles took action as soon as it happened, that certainly isn't just suspending him for half a game against Southeast Louisiana State. Miles does kick players off of the team, even starters, unlike may other coaches. Actually find out how the guy has been disciplined before spouting off that he hasn't; otherwise you look foolish.
Trying to make him out as the next A. Hernandez is a reach and he already has been punished more than Hernandez ever was.

Tampa >Food & Dining > Bo's Ice Cream
7101 N Florida Ave, Tampa, FL | Directions 3360428.012810 -82.459244
Daily, 11am - 11pm
Neighborhoods: Northeast, Old Seminole Heights
Great memories – I lived in Pasco county and went there with friends for the first time in 2001 and loved it. Now living in Polk I still stop in whenever I am in the area. The best thing there is the upside down banana split but even my dogs like the doggy bowl ice cream.
HORRIBLE – We went there last night for desert expecting a good atmosphere and something nostalgic. maybe this place was good back when it first opened and maybe up through the late 90's but not last night.
I got a chocolate malt that tasted like crap. Its obvious that in order to save money they don't use real ice cream just pre-bagged liquid crap mix.
The snotty little mud-shark, skinny, crisco haired ghetto queen that work the counter was rude and extremely ridiculous in her look, attitude and mannerisms. seriously it was disgusting..kind of like a white girl that is trying to look early 90's chola but listens to way too much rap. i wanted to vomit..did i mention she had was rude, with that "psshhh, whatevah..i do what i want" attitude. her manager shouted out "N****r" loud enough for us to hear, and looked at us and smiled. real cool. uhhh,.so just like most places in Tampa.....stay away. horrible customer service, bad quality, overpriced and over hyped.
I love Bo's Ice Cream – Been going there all my life! A real gem in Seminole Heights.
Has the best ice cream in town.
My fovorite things to get when I go is an Upside Down Banana Split or a Heath bar "Thick and Chunky" (similar to a mcflurry... but better!)
bo's is the best – i grew up 2 blocks from bo's and i know they are the best, i have raised 5 kids and they all look forward to going to bo's. they have things you will not find too many other places, like their upside banana split and blue raspberry dipped cones are my favorite. i have been going to bo's for over 40 years and as long as they are there i will continue.
Great Memories – I worked at Bo's when I was in high school and still have very fond memories of the experience. I left and joined the army and have proudly served my country since. Every time I go home on leave I make it a point to go back to Bo's and get an ice cream. I even have my daughters asking me to take them to Bo's when we are in Tampa. After traveling across the world I have yet to find a better place to get Ice Cream then Bo's
User review by nic12sa – They have great ice cream for the $, but they need to work on their manners. Their attitudes suck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
50 Years of Ice Cream!! – I met and married my husband at Bo's Ice Cream. His family has owned Bo's for 50 years this December. In those years generations of families have enjoyed the ice cream. The ice cream store is also a landmark for the Tampa area and is known all over the U.S. I have sampled every concoction I could dream up and I still love it, even after 13 years of it! 50 years is a long time to be making ice cream. Retirement is hopefully near for the family. Bo's is on the market for sale. Visit Bo's to help celebrate those very wonderful 50 years.
Almost 50 years later, this is still the drip-down-your-arm, eat-it-on-the-sidewalk soft-serve king. – The Scene
All of Tampa, when it gets its ice cream jones, can be found lining up in front of Bo's. Some folks are dressed to the nines at the end of a big date, some come in sweat-slick athletic jerseys and still others sidle over in their bedroom pj's. The guys behind the counter aren't always too swift, so you may find yourself striking up a conversation clarifying your order while enduring the dense fog of mosquitoes and no-see-ums.
The Food
There's no consensus on what's best. There are diehard fans of the upside down banana split (served in three sizes, from doable to truly unsettling): sliced banana, ice cream, hot fudge, pineapple topping, whipped cream, nuts, cherries, etc., all rammed deep into a styrofoam cup. Others swear by the thick shakes enveloping crushed Snickers, Oreos or other goodies. The purists sniff at both, insisting that a single dip of swirled vanilla and chocolate soft serve on a wafer cone is a sweet taste of heaven in Tampa.

Volume 2 of The Papers of Will Rogers, edited by Steven K. Gragert and M. Jane Johansson, says that the Columbia Theatre was originally a two-a-day vaudeville house on the Orpheum circuit.
Modernization of Columbia into Equire described in this 1939 trade article, as cited above by Joe Vogel: Boxoffice
An article about the Esquire Theatre appeared in the December 9, 1939, issue of Boxoffice Magazine. The article includes some information about the Columbia as well.
The Columbia opened on Christmas Day, 1913, with 1000 seats. The article says that the Esquire was built "within the walls" of the Columbia, as a single-floor theater. The Columbia had seated only about 600 in the orchestra and 400 in the balcony, so getting the Esquire's 835 seats onto one floor necessitated the removal of most of the Columbia's stage. The roof was lowered as well, but the auditorium still had a fairly high ceiling.
The new theater was thoroughly Moderne in style, with just a lingering hint of Art Deco in some of the details. The Esquire was designed by the Des Moines architectural firm Wetherell & Harrison.
A Kimball theater organ was installed in the Columbia Theater in 1926.
Maybe the seat reduction from 1800 to 834 isn't too unusual for some theaters. The State Historical Society of Iowa claims that the Capitol Theater opened in 1920 with 2500 seats and today it has a little less then 1600 seats. Almost the same reduction in seats as this theater.
Lost Memory;Thanks for the additional information.
The 1941 edition of Film Daily Yearbook lists the Esquire Theatre with 834 seats (the Columbia Theatre is listed as 'Closed' with 1,800 seats). It seems like the re-model into a movie theatre gave a reduced seating capacity. However in the 1950 edition of Film Daily Yearbook the address of the Esquire is 408 W. 3rd Street and seating is given as 300 (which I would say must be a mis-print)
This website claims the following:
