The Department of Landscape Architecture in the School of Architecture Environment offers an undergraduate minor plus BLA, MLA, and PhD degrees in landscape architecture.With the resources of a large research university and the close-knit feeling of a small design community, the department traces its roots to the oldest landscape degree program west of the Mississippi. From the Pacific coast to the Cascade mountains to the eastern deserts, and in urban, suburban, rural, and wildernessenvironments, we engage the varied landscapes of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest as a laboratory for design experimentation, while our faculty engage in ground-breaking research around the world—all with a focus on designinglandscapes that are ecologically and socially just.
Our undergraduate students, graduate students, and professors share ideas and expertise in small studios and classes among community-minded cohorts. We value a constructive, collaborative educational environment with an emphasis on responsibility, knowledge, methodology, and skills. Situated within the School of Architecture Environment, we collaborate and share resources with the departments of Architecture, Interior Architecture, and Historic Preservation. Along with the School of Art + Design and the School of Planning, Public Policy and Management, we provide a rare opportunity on the US West Coast to be a part of a comprehensive and vibrant College of Design that includes a broad range of art, design, and planning disciplines. As part of a large university with many interdisciplinary initiatives, our students also frequently engage with faculty and students in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences as well.
Our faculty are award-winning educators, scholars, and innovators. With a diversity of academic and professional backgrounds, their expertise spans the breadth of the field to address regional, national, and international issues. The department is internationally recognized for its research in landscape design history, theory, and critique; landscape ecology and river planning; urban design and sustainability analysis; critical practice; productive landscapes; historic landscape documentation and preservation; climate change mitigation and adaptation; cultural ecosystem service analysis; visual resource analysis; and landscape representation.
Our students and professors come from a variety of backgrounds and experiences, creating a rich educational environment. Our curriculum focuses on understanding landscapes across multiple scales—from yards to neighborhoods and parks to entire cities and watersheds—and prepares students to face many different kinds of challenges in diverse places and regions. Our students often win local, national, and international awards, including in design competitions. We frequently partner with cities, government agencies, nonprofits, and community groups to address real-world issues, often through the University's

Not all system's have a known CA bundle on disk. For example, Windows and OS X do not have a single common location for CA bundles. When setting "verify" to
, Guzzle will do its best to find the most appropriate CA bundle on your system. When using cURL or the PHP stream wrapper on PHP versions >= 5.6, this happens by default. When using the PHP stream wrapper on versions < 5.6, Guzzle tries to find your CA bundle in the following order:
The result of this lookup is cached in memory so that subsequent calls in the same process will return very quickly. However, when sending only a single request per-process in something like Apache, you should consider setting the
environment variable to the path on disk to the file so that this entire process is skipped.
If you do not need a specific certificate bundle, then Mozilla provides a commonly used CA bundle which can be downloaded (provided by the maintainer of cURL). Once you have a CA bundle available on disk, you can set the "openssl.cafile" PHP ini setting to point to the path to the file, allowing you to omit the "verify" request option.

my favorites are to love ru, sora no otoshimono(chibifaces at an all time high^^)
but i have to admit, even though i love the entire monogatari series, its not a harem anime, Araragi-kun is just trying to fix all those girlss problems, he only loves hitagi ( although he is a hentai)
rosario + vampire is good, but the outcome is clear, i dont think that there will be a harem at the end, itll be only tsukune and moka
nagasarete airandou is funny and charming, but even here, one couple is more prominent than the others(the two mainchars)
i know its weird, but i think the world only god knows can also be considered a harem anime, cos at least he three girls swarming all over him ( not to mention all those pretentious relationships^^), and i dont think that fanservice is actually a requirement for a great harem series
also shuffle! is not to be underestimated
i mean i ve watched a few others, but my favorites are still untouched^^
White Album

For me, it's KyoAni's version of Kanon... and yes, it is a harem.
Saiunkoku Monogatari
- Reverse harem
- Political drama
- Unconventional non annoying heroine with serious BRAINS
- Realistic, slow moving romance
- Incredible multi-plot set in ancient, fantasy China
- All characters have incredible stories and personalities
- No one is annoying
1% evil. 99% fangirl.
Hayate No Gotoku lol. It's an harem without all the cliched garbage in most of them. It's also very funny
The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, its the illusion of knowledge.

Title says it all. In your opinion, which harem anime do you think tops off the rest of the genre.
In my opinion, I reckon Sora no Otoshimono tops it all off. Yes it has generic fan service and ecchi, but I'll tell you guys why I loved the anime so much.
Sora no Otoshimono has one of the most hilarious and original comedy scenes I've seen. Trust me there isn't a time where I haven't laughed so hard and the anime just makes my day. A lot of the scenes in this anime is just pure gold. Here's a scene where the protagonist decides to derp around and make a joke out of himself and his friends without even realizing it.
Besides from the comedy, it was also a heartwarming show with a nicely developed story and the characters develops more throughout the show as well. And as you can see, my most favorite character is definitely the protagonist because he is boss!
So which harem anime do you think is the best?
For thouse of you who liked sora no O, I highly recommend, DearS
Kuudere - Visit my Youtube channel
Sora no otoshimono was my first harem but I just loved my second better which was to love ru, it has so many funny scenes and sometimes the drama is good also not to mention that it gets better by the seasons and not just the anime, the openings also get better :)
Oh and by the way I can't wait to get my copy of heavens lost property: the angeloid of clockwork and season 3 to come out. Also hopefully a season 2 of to love ru darkness.
talk to me people :)
I say Rosario Vampire in my opinion, Not because of the pantyshots and fanservice, because of the fun it has
Also, Listen to me girls, I'm your father, I just watched all of it, It probably be in my opinion my Usagi Drop of the year, also Sora, Miu, and Hina are all my new favorite characters.
Brony Otaku
There is no good harem anime so far.. but i think Maoyu is pretty decent.
Rosario+Vampire(manga) is very good, too bad that the anime is so bad that made me cry.
Prefiero dos guerras perdidas a no haber luchado por intentar ganarlas.
Chaos;Head and Shuffle was pretty good, too. If reverse harems count, I loved Hakuouki: Shinsengumi Kitan ^^
needs a bump
date a live is how you say goooooood?
we have:
mentality of a 7 year old who likes food
we also like 3(4) more spirits that won't fit into the season
I want season 2

btw quite the argument you had with the now banned OP of this thread animekami although about what exactly i'm not sure
If you want my attention quote me or respond to one of the threads i post in...
I found Rosario + Vampire to be hilarious.
I also liked Sora no Otoshimono, and Sekirei.
Can't forget about my favorite anime woman though, Rias Gremory in High School DxD
Rias Senpai!!
The world god only knows...and when that Goddess arc comes oohhh boy
Want to know my username's deep dark past? It was supposed to be my password...
The characters and storyline were fantastic. Kirito had the right set of flaws and good qualities- he wasn't overpowered or boring. Asuna was far from a tsundere or a damsel in distress. There was totally far more to Leafa than her big breasts, and all the other girls were cute and not plain or lacking in anything at all.
Not being sarcastic here either. (totally not)

Red kidney beans were once my nemesis. My picky 8-year old self saw them as ginormous, starchy, foul-tasting enemies to be avoided at all costs.
My under developed taste buds found them so repelling I picked them out of my chili along with any onions, garlic or peppers. Every single one. No matter how tiny the piece.
I despised those hidden pieces of vegetables (the very same ones I love today) just as much as I did the beans. No matter that everyone was finished eating when I was just beginning. Under no circumstance were they going to enter my mouth. I'd starve first.
My grown-up self hasn't touched a red kidney bean.
Then. . .
a can bearing their likeness mysteriously appeared in my cupboard. I hate when that happens.
My Dad, lover of all things beans, practically begged me to do this.
A thick and hearty chili was born with spicy hunks of chorizo sausage, the kidney beans, sweet corn, strips of colorful bell peppers and tomatoes.
I bet you already guessed what happens next. . .
I gave the red kidney beans a second chance. They deserved it. I didn't hate them. I kind of liked them. They weren't nearly as large and offensive as my child-self remembered them being.
Surrounding them with tasty ingredients I really like helped. With their meaty, earthy quality they fit right in with the crowd.
If you don't like red kidney beans you can use a different type of bean. Or not. If you don't like red kidney beans use them anyways. If you do like red kidney beans use one you don't like. Get it?
Maybe, just maybe, I've inspired you to give a hated bean a second chance.
A thick and hearty chili with spicy hunks of chorizo sausage, kidney beans, sweet corn, strips of colorful bell peppers and tomatoes.
- In a large heavy-bottomed saucepan or stock pot cook the Chorizo until browned on all sides, if using ground break it apart as it cooks. Once browned remove the links to a large cutting board or the ground meat to a bowl.
- Carefully drain off the grease. Add a few tablespoons olive oil and cook the peppers and onion over medium-low heat until about 5 minutes, seasoning well with salt and pepper. Add garlic and saute until fragrant.
- Mix in beans, tomatoes, corn, chile powder, oregano and cumin. Season well with salt and pepper.
- Slice the chorizo into 3/4" rounds and then cut each one in half. Add to pan. Bring to a simmer and cook 30-35 minutes. Taste halfway through and add more seasonings/salt and pepper if needed.
- Serve topped with sour cream, cheese, cilantro and tortilla chips.

Lake Ontario residents contest plans for managing water levels
Put home values above muskrats and cattails
Posted: July 15, 2013
Originally Published: July 14, 2013
LOCKPORT – Elected officials and residents from the counties along the south shore of Lake Ontario countered scientific research with personal appeals Sunday night at a public hearing on a proposed change in the way the water level of Lake Ontario is managed.
Under Plan 2014, which updates 50-year-old criteria for managing water levels in Lake Ontario and the St. Lawrence River, owners of lakefront property in Niagara County and beyond could experience annual high water about 4 inches higher, and annual lows about 7 inches lower than at present.
Six commissioners from the International Joint Commission, the binational group that has overseen the flow of water through the Moses-Saunders hydropower dam downstream from Lake Ontario since 1960, were present Sunday to defend their plan to improve the lakeshore ecosystems and to field comments from local concerned citizens.
They and other proponents of the plan who spoke Sunday argued that by creating more variable water levels that more closely resemble natural conditions, the tens of thousands of acres of wetlands along the shores of Lake Ontario would be revitalized at relatively little cost to the region's property owners and municipal and recreational assets.
Other local stakeholders – including lakeshore residents, fishermen and boaters – were not convinced.
Speaking on behalf of his lakeshore constituents, State Sen. George D. Maziarz, R-Newfane, said the point of view of shoreline property owners mattered most because they would suffer directly from the plan's adverse effects.
"This plan will hurt those people who live on the south shore particularly of Lake Ontario," said Maziarz.
Niagara County Legislator David E. Godfrey, R-Wilson, listed some of the outcomes residents feared most: the steady devaluation of lakefront homes as higher water levels eroded the coast at quicker and quicker rates; and a curtailed boating season as lower water levels made harbors inaccessible sooner.
"All of this for muskrats and cattails?" he asked, referring to two of the species that stand to benefit from Plan 2014's revamped water levels.
Muskrats proved to be a sticking point throughout the evening. Of the dozens who spoke, several took swipes at what they perceived as the International Joint Commission's "backward" prioritization of ecosystems for American families.
"It's very difficult for me to get warm and fuzzy about wetlands and muskrats when our home is falling into the lake," said 30-year south shore resident Tom Herberger.
In his statement to the commission, Herberger described how he and his wife purchased the lakefront home in the Town of Porter last year only to lose 2 feet of their property to lake-induced erosion within a year.
Representatives from local environmentalist groups were on hand to emphasize the importance of revitalizing lakefront ecosystems.
"We must take action to restore our nation's most important natural resource, our Great Lakes," said Brian P. Smith, program and communications director for the Citizens Campaign for the Environment, a Buffalo-based advocacy group.
The IJC is accepting public input through its website, www.ijc.org, until Aug. 30, after which it will make its recommendation regarding Plan 2014 to the U.S. and Canadian governments.

Recap: Kendrick Lamar Opens Hard Rock In Las Vegas
Let's face it, overly dedicated fans were anticipating Kendrick Lamar's arrival to Las Vegas' Hard Rock Cafe. The Top Dawg Entertainment champion lyricist hit the strip alongside cohorts Jay Rock and Ab-Soul to headline BET's Music Matters Tour. The packed venue found eager audiophiles ready to get turnt up to the max which quickly became an all-out sing-along instead of a mildly mannered concert.
Rather than give audiences a recycled performance, the TDE triple-threat offered a twist that sometimes even upended your standard concert fare. The sold-out Hard Rock Cafe couldn't contain the explosive ammunition that hit the stage last Friday, so we managed to capture the night's most boisterous moments for you to check out in our gallery below.
Even though good kid, m.A.A.d city leaked days before its official release that should not stop you from copping K. Dot's critically acclaimed debut, in stores today.

Which makes it hard for me to understand his willingness to financially support beasts like Microsoft and Apple whenever they release a new product.
Well it is OSNews which means he needs to try a variety of operating systems but I did find his Apple purchase a bit strange after all the Samsung/Apple rants. I'm surprised he didn't buy a hackintosh actually.
I have ranted about Windows 8 and I'm sure as hell not giving Microsoft any money this year. I believe in voting with your wallet and if I buy a new laptop next year it will be on ebay. I almost bought a Windows 7 netbook before Windows 8 but then I decided I didn't even want to add $20 to their quarterly income. Will it make a difference? Yes it makes me feel better and I have a feeling that I won't be the only person doing some wallet voting this year.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced today that 2010 Canadian U-17 Player of the Year Bryce Alderson has been signed to the club's Major League Soccer roster as a Home Grown Generation adidas player. Per club policy, terms of the contract were not disclosed.
"Bryce is an intelligent, gifted player that has already played at a very high level in his young career," said Whitecaps FC head coach Martin Rennie. "He captained Canada at last summer's U-17 World Cup, and has continued his development in our Residency program and by training with our first team. We're excited to add another young Canadian talent to our MLS squad."
Alderson, 17, joins Vancouver's MLS roster after a successful year at both the club and international level. Currently with the Whitecaps FC Residency U-18 side in the United States Soccer Development Academy, Alderson has scored two goals in six matches this season. He is set to join the first team for the start of their 2012 MLS preseason camp in mid-January.
Last summer in the United Soccer Leagues Premier Development League, Alderson made 11 appearances and added one assist with the Residency team. The 5-foot-10, 160-pound central midfielder also made two appearances with Whitecaps FC reserves in the MLS Reserve League.
"Since joining Whitecaps FC last fall, I have had the opportunity to continue my growth as a player," said Alderson. "I now look forward to making the next step in my career as a player in Major League Soccer, and helping Whitecaps FC become a top club in MLS and CONCACAF."
Prior to joining the Residency program in September 2010, Alderson played with the Toronto-based club Portugal FC in the Canadian Soccer League Reserve Division. He also captained his home province of Ontario to two silver medals at the Canadian All-Star Championship tournaments in 2008 and 2010 at the U-14 and U-16 levels respectively. Starting his soccer career with the Kitchener Youth Soccer Club, Alderson also played for Kitchener Spirit of the Western Ontario Youth Soccer League.
At the international level, the native of Kitchener, Ontario, captained Canada to a runners-up finish at the 2010 CONCACAF U-17 Championship in Montego Bay, Jamaica. That earned Canada a berth in last summer's FIFA U-17 World Cup in Mexico. Alderson started all three of Canada's matches in Group C at Mexico 2011.
Alderson becomes the club's fifth Home Grown player signing after goalkeeper Brian Sylvestre and midfielders Philippe Davies, Nizar Khalfan, and Russell Teibert. The Whitecaps Foundation supports athletes like Alderson through the Residency program. Help support the next generation of Canadian soccer players at whitecapsfoundation.org.

Good Fun for a Good Cause, 2016 Edition
For more than a quarter of a century a lot of enterprising motorcycle enthusiasts - as in more than 30,000 from all over the country - have gotten together and staged a 20-plus-mile cross-county journey to raise money and toys for underprivileged children.
This year's Toys in the Sun Run - the 29th annual - will be held on Sunday, December 4, 2016, when the bighearted bikers will travel from the starting point, the Mardi Gras Casino in Hallandale Beach (831 N. Federal Hwy.), to Markham Park in Sunrise.
At the end of their trek will be live entertainment, more than a hundred vendors selling a wide variety of merchandise, and an international food court, as well as a classic bike show. (No pets, coolers, or outside food and drinks permitted.) The park opens at 8 a.m., and an early arrival is recommended, as the cyclists' route will be closed to traffic once their excursion is under way. The live music gets going at 11 a.m.
Admission is $10 per person, plus an unwrapped toy (no stuffed animals, please); if you show up without a toy, expect to pay $20 per person. The park's regular weekend and holiday gate entrance fee of $1.50/person (children 5 and under free) will also be in effect.
To get an idea of how much this fundraiser has grown over the years, consider that when it was started by Wings of Gold Motorcycle Club president Bob Amchir back in 1987, about 700 motorcycles participated, and the event netted $965 in cash and a little over 500 toys. These days the run typically raises more than half a million dollars and collects more than 50,000 toys.

Fisher Cats welcome EL leaders
By JOHN HABIB
New Hampshire Union Leader
Fishers shut down by Rock Cats
The Mets are having a great season and we're not talking about the team in New York City.
The Binghamton Mets, owners of the best record in the Eastern League, invade the Queen City for a five-game series against the Fisher Cats beginning Thursday at 7:05 p.m. at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium.
Binghamton, entering Tuesday's doubleheader against Altoona, owned a 50-29 record and a commanding nine-game lead against second-place Portland (41-38). New Hampshire (39-43) was 12½ games back before its game Tuesday night against New Britain.
Binghamton is also eight games ahead in the loss column against Harrisburg (44-38), which leads the Western Division by only 1½ games against Erie.
Since May 25, the Mets are 24-7 and just completed the month of June with a 19-5 record. During June, the Mets outscored their opponents 126-75 in 19 games. They have a better road record (25-13) than at home (25-16).
Binghamton owns the third-best team batting average (.262) and the second-best ERA (3.71).
While the Fisher Cats plan on having their own fireworks show after each of the first three games (all 7:05 starts) through Saturday as part of the Fourth of July weekend, the Mets have enough lethal weapons in their offense to light up the scoreboard.
Outfielder Cesar Puello (.336, 15 homers, 55 RBIs), first baseman Allan Dykstra (.317, 12 homers, 52 RBIs) and third baseman Josh Rodriguez (.304) were ranked second, fourth and eighth in batting average in the Eastern League before Tuesday's action.
Dykstra, who is not related to former Mets and Phillies star Lenny Dykstra, was actually selected in the 34th round of the 2005 draft by the Boston Red Sox. But he didn't sign with Boston, opting instead to play for Wake Forest University.
All three players will also represent the Eastern Division in the Eastern League All-Star Game set for July 10 in New Britain, Conn. Also on the all-star roster for the Mets are righthanded pitchers Logan Verrett (8-4, 4.06 ERA) and reliever Jeff Walters, who has a league-best 20 saves.
New Hampshire outfielder Brad Glenn was just named the Eastern League's player of the week. Glenn batted .400 (10 for 25), hit two home runs, and had seven RBIs in seven games. He also scored a league week-high eight runs and drew three walks. He entered Tuesday's action in New Britain on a 10-game hitting streak (.410, 16-for-39).
Glenn is representing the Fisher Cats in the All-Star game along with shortstop Kevin Nolan, a Nashua native who is batting .253 on the season and, pitcher Sean Nolin. The lefty owns a 4-2 record and 3.00 ERA in 9 starts with the Fisher Cats.
New Hampshire announced its pitching probables through Saturday. Marcus Walden (5-8, 3.18) will get the start Thursday, Deck McGuire (4-7, 5.52) gets the nod on Friday and Ryan Tepera (6-5, 4.25) toes the hill Saturday. Sunday's game start is 5:05 p.m. and Monday's finale will begin on 12:05 p.m.

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN River Falls
The River Falls Area Research Center (ARC) is one of fourteen research facilities in the statewide Area Research Center Network (network map). The River Falls ARC houses materials owned by the Wisconsin Historical Society that are from four northwestern Wisconsin counties: Burnett, Pierce, Polk, and Saint Croix. Collections consist of two types of archival material: records of local government units, and private manuscript materials. To augment these local history materials, the ARC also collects published local history and genealogical materials, and state and national genealogical materials.
The records of local governments cover a wide variety of government offices and functions. The ARC has more records from Pierce County (the oldest county) and the least from Burnett County (the youngest of the four counties).
The easiest way to find all local government records from a particular county is to use ArCat, the Wisconsin Historical Society's ArchivesCatalog. Using the Guided Search, in the Search For box put the name of the county you are interested without the word "county," and then limit your search by call number in the drop-down menu under Search By. So "Pierce" as a call number search will find all government records for Pierce County. You may also pair a call number search with a keyword search such as the name of a school, or skip the call number search and just search by keyword if you know it is a word that will not show up in several other Wisconsin counties.
Some typical records include:
"Manuscripts" is the term used for archival materials created by private individuals and families, and entities such as businesses, community organizations, and churches.
Some typical types of manuscript materials include:
A search of ArCat for all manuscripts collections related to a particular county is not quite as easy as with the government records because the call number used for all counties in the River Falls ARC is "River Falls Mss" or "River Falls SC." Mss is the standard abbreviation for Manuscripts and SC in this case stands for Small Collection—a collection with one folder or just a few folders of material, rather than a box or more. You can still use the call number search, but use "River Falls" in the Search For box, pick "Call number" in the Search By drop-down menu, and pair it with a keyword search such as one of the four counties or the name of a person.
These materials are mainly published, but also include some archival materials on microfilm. For more details, see the Genealogy section of our website.

Ryan Gosling's "time to think"
ThereΓÇÖs a story on the ever unreliable Daily Mail website - click here to read - about Ryan Gosling cooling it off with Eva Mendes, needing ΓÇ£time to thinkΓÇ¥, and flying to South Africa to hook up with some model.
This is why the Daily Mail is infuriating. Because sometimes it does have some legit stories. And then it undermines itself with total bullsh-t.
As I reported on Friday, Eva is with Ryan in Thailand where heΓÇÖs shooting Only God Forgives. They went out on Thursday and this photo of them was posted to Twitter:
On Friday Ryan had the day off.
On Saturday he was muay thai training at the gym. IN BANGKOK.
On Sunday he went back to work on set. IN BANGKOK.
There was no trip to South Africa. This is not hard to prove. Because there is an ENTIRE FILM CREW WORKING WITH HIM ON A SCHEDULE. He never left Thailand. Only God Forgives is being made for less than $5 million. If Ryan Gosling were to travel to South Africa, itΓÇÖs at least a 3 day, minimum, break for production. And thatΓÇÖs if he only stays a few hours and turns right around and goes back to Thailand. He didnΓÇÖt leave Thailand for the Golden Globes. You think he would leave Thailand on the off chance he would meet some model in Cape Town?
ItΓÇÖs pretty much impossible for him to have been there.
God, if you make something up, can you at least make it probable?
Anyway, the point is...there is no point. Eva and Ryan are together. They were never not together. Why do I feel like you want me to apologise?

Chicken Little fears
Myth: Gas prices will hit $5 a gallon this summer. Answer: False -- unless Israel or the United States strike Iran's nuclear facilities. AAA Mid-Atlantic calls that the "doomsday scenario," or the Chicken Little, "the-sky-is-falling" mind-set. Although pump prices have already spiked over $4 in some U.S. retail markets, most American consumers will not pay nearly that much for gasoline this spring and summer. Tom Kloza, gas guru for AAA and the Oil Price Information Service, believes U.S. gas prices will average between $3.75 and $4.25 this spring.

J&L Commemorative Type Set Collection
David Hall: The 1927 Vermont silver half dollar was struck to comemorate the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Bennington. This beautifully executed design featured founder and Green Mountain Boy Ira Allen on the obverse and a Canada lynx on the reverse. Interestingly, there was some talk of striking both silver and gold commemoratives of this issue. Unfortunately, the gold commem idea was dropped. Today, the Vermont is one of the rarer coins in the commemorative series. The Vermont was issued at a price of $1 and most were saved. The Vermont has an excellent early price history, particularly in the 1960 to 1980 time frame when it was one of the more expensive coins in the series, and rightly so, because it truly is one of the rarer issues. Indeed, I know of no significant hoards or large quantities that have ever been available. Most Vermonts have frosty luster and though the relief is very high, strike doesn't seem to ever be a problem.

Hollis man becomes Franciscan friar
October 09. 2013 5:00PM
HOLLIS — Resident Chris Bashaw took his profession vows Oct. 4 with the Franciscans of Divine Mercy and Love of God, a religious order and nonprofit church ministry of the Independent Catholic Church of the Americas, New England Diocese.
Brother Christopher is also enrolled as seminarian with the ICCA.
The Order Franciscans of Divine Mercy was founded in Franklin, Mass., by its current father guardian, the Most Rev. Father Bob Johnnene
The Order Franciscans of Divine Mercy and Love of God welcome men and women who feel called to serve God and His children without discrimination and with compassion and mercy.
The order is particularly dedicated to healing those who have been hurt by some churches' actions of discrimination but yearn for a Catholic spirituality, liturgy and to partake of the Eucharist.
Members of the order serve as lay apostles, vowed brothers, sisters, deacons and priests in parish ministries, hospital and nursing home ministries and outreach programs to the poor, homeless, youth and seniors.
Brother Christopher is available to meet area resident needs for hospital visitations, nursing home rounds and would consider weekly services for people looking to establish a ICCA parish.
More information on the OFD and the ICCA can be found on Brother Christopher's website: mother-mary.jimdo.com/

When the news broke last week that Barack Obama had tapped MIT physicist Ernest Moniz to be the next Secretary of Energy, I immediately began seeing some buzz that he might be a distinct improvement over the last occupant of the office. There was even talk that he was actually a proponent of domestic energy sources, and not just wind, solar or algae. I was skeptical to say the least, given our previous experience with the President's choices. But the Washington Post certainly tried to paint a rosy picture right out of the gate.
Moniz, who served as associate director of the White House office of science and technology policy and as undersecretary of energy under President Bill Clinton, is also devoted to the "all-of-the-above" strategy for energy that Obama has embraced. In a voluminous written and spoken record, Moniz has come out in favor of nuclear power, research into carbon capture and storage for coal, renewable energy and shale gas produced by hydraulic fracturing.
That all sounds pretty good until you get to the next caveat.
Like outgoing Energy Secretary Steven Chu, Moniz is alarmed about climate change and devoted to funding scientific research into low-carbon alternatives to fossil fuel.
Still, I thought I'd give it some time and let some of the experts begin doing research into his background. And not all of the news is bad. Here are a few examples.
"Mr. Moniz has been supportive of nuclear power, clean coal as well as renewable energy. He is perhaps best known for a study published by MIT on the future of natural gas, which was presented to the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources in 2011."
"It's cheap, there's lots of it and there's lots of it in places with high demand, namely the U.S., China and India," says co-author and M.I.T. physicist Ernest Moniz. "Sequestration," he adds, "is a key enabling technology for coal use in a carbon-constrained world."
"The world needs both more electricity and less pollution. The goals are not incompatible, but the solution will require better management of demand, smarter use of coal as well as renewable energy sources, and increased use of nuclear power."
That all sounds good – or as good as we're likely to get from a nominee put forth by a Democrat – but what will happen when these beliefs run headlong into the agenda of the EPA? In particular, what input will Mr. Moniz have when it comes to the issue of New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)? These new standards, if implemented, would set a limit for carbon dioxide output based on what the best natural gas combined cycle gas turbines can achieve, even if the power plant runs on coal. Since coal produces more CO2 by definition, the effect will be to essentially eliminate any new coal plant construction or refurbishment, regardless of how well they do with the clean coal technology Moniz is championing.
Will he knuckle under to the President's regulatory gurus, or speak up for a real "all of the above" strategy which Barack Obama claims to support? That's going to be the real test to watch for in the coming months.

ATA Tries To Have You Arrested For Using Your iPhone In "Airplane Mode"
The iPhone has a setting that makes it safe to use on an airplane. So-called "airplane mode" disables cell phone, radio, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth signals, thus allowing you to watch movies staring Jennifer Love Hewitt while flying through the air.
And that's what reader Casey tried to do. Unfortunately, it seems that the flight attendants had never heard of "airplane mode," and called the police when Casey refused to stop watching I Know What You Did Last Summer.
I am an iPhone owner, and this is my story. I recently was traveling to Hawaii on ATA airlines and took my iPhone along for the trip. During the first 2 hours of my 5 hour flight I was listening to music using the ipod function of my iPhone.
The iPhone was sitting on my tray table in front of my seat, in plain sight. Then I decided to watch a movie. So I fired up the classic "I know what you did last summer", a movie I had never seen before. About 1 and a half hours into this cinematic masterpiece I had a flight attendant try to get my attention.
I paused the movie just as Jennifer love Hewitt was screaming something about "please stop killing my friends" or "what do you want from me", honestly I am not sure what she was saying because I paused the movie and looked to see what the flight attendant wanted. He said something to the effect of "you can't use a cell phone in flight". OK, that makes sense, so I assured him that I had the phone in airplane mode and that all cell, wifi and bluetooth was off.
He again said "you have to stop using it" and walked on… Now I know something about flying and the rules, and I am pretty sure I can use the MP3 part of a cell phone if it is in airplane mode, above 10,000 feet. So, I continued to watch, needing to find out who the killer with the hook was and why they were messing with J Love.
About 10 minutes later, the same guy comes back and waves his hand in front of my face, I pause the movie again, and look over at him. He says that I am not allowed to use a cell phone in flight and I am breaking FAA rules. Again I tell him I have the phone in airplane mode, and would be more than happy to show that to him. He didn't want to see it and said I am breaking FAA rules.
"OK, maybe I am wrong ?" I think to myself.
So I ask what rule I am breaking. He tells me I am talking on my cell phone. I again explain I am not using the cell part and it is disabled. I go on to further explain that I have been on other airlines that have specific written rules that say cell phones in airplane mode are OK above 10,00 feet, so how could it be a FAA rule. And if it is, what rule ? He has no answer for that, but to now yells at me "You have to do anything I say, I am going to have you arrested"….
ANYTHING ? Wow…I didn't know they had that power in the air?
So now the head flight attendant comes over and tell me the same thing about FAA rules, and I explain again to her the same stuff, and asked her again "What rule am I breaking?" She runs off and comes back with a slip of paper that has about 4 or 5 FAA rules that the flight attendant is supposed to check off and sign and give to you as a written warning. She has crossed all of them out and written "Talking on cell phone"…I tell her again "I am not talking on my cell, the cell part is off, and this is a device that has many functions that maybe you are not aware of and the offending functions are disabled."
She goes on to tell me that I am breaking FAA rules. I say "WHAT RULE ?"
Oh, while this is going on the first flight attendant guy is behind her yelling at me about that he wants me arrested.
Then she runs off and comes back with a HUGE book of FAA rules. Finally, I will get to see the rule about no phones in airplane mode (even though I know it doesn't exist) She drops it in my lap, open to a page that says "Things not allowed in flight: Talking on cell phones, Playing online cell phone games… Things allowed over 10,00 feet: MP3 Players…etc.."
So I say "what does that show? I am not talking on my phone"
She grabs the book and runs off in a huff. And again the guy yells at me "I have called the police, you are going to jail"…
So we start our decent and I turn my iPhone off, because I follow REAL FAA rules. We land and there are police waiting for me, the flight attendant that started this whole thing makes me walk to the front of the plane while everyone else has to stay in their seats and I stand there for 10 minutes. I kind of feel like I am standing in front of class as punishment because I was disruptive, not that this has ever happened to me in school, ok maybe it has.
Then the police take me off the flight and to a waiting area. I explain everything that happened, they go and talk to the male flight attendant. I see him waving his arms and looking very angry and animated. Why is he so hell bent on getting me in trouble ? So then the police come back over to me and explain that he said this particular plane is not shielded for ANY electronic equipment at all, so even a phone in airplane mode could cause problems.
OK, so why didn't he tell me that at all in flight, all he said was i was breaking FAA rules, and also why was everyone else allowed to use their laptops, mp3 players, etc ?? The police officer looked confused, and said he would be right back. He talked to the guy again and then came back and said that the airplane is not shielded for ONLY phones in airplane mode.
Come on, really ? he has changed his story 3 times, and all he said in flight was FAA this and FAA that, nothing about this specific plane. The police sorta laughed and said wait one second, they went and talked to him, he got really upset and left. Then they came back to me and said I was free to go.
I have never been harassed by someone so much as that flight attendant. He was very rude to me the whole flight, lied about FAA rules, and changed his story to police 3 times. I took a Southwest flight later in the week, they have it clearly written in the inflight magazine that airplane mode is fine over 10,000 feet.
So, if you have an iPhone, ATA airlines does not want your business. I was harassed, embarrassed, and delayed for no reason, other than I own an iPhone, the ATA flight crew has no idea about what are real FAA rules, and they like to just make up whatever they want to scare you into obeying them, because you "have to do anything" they say…
Casey submitted this complaint to ATA and they've not responded. Apple's website says that the iPhone is safe to use on an airplane while in "airplane mode," and we see no reason to doubt this.
It seems that ATA owes Casey a big apology.

Complaints filed against Hooksett School Board chairman
By BENJAMIN C. KLEIN
Union Leader Correspondent
— The consistent infighting between Hooksett School Board members has expanded, as two Hooksett residents have filed formal complaints against School Board Chairman Trisha Korkosz.
The first complaint was filed by Ray and Michelle Miclette regarding changes made to school board policy, and the other, filed by Marc Miville, takes issue with Korkosz's handling of a formal complaint filed against fellow board member John Lyscars.
For her part, Korkosz said she has consulted with a school district attorney and has been told that she did nothing wrong regarding Lyscars or the changes to the policy.
"This has nothing to do with the education of the school district's students, and the people accusing me of breaking the rules are not following the rules themselves," Korkosz said, adding, "I didn't violate policy, so I expect nothing will change."
Along with filing a complaint, Korkosz said she has received multiple right-to-know requests from fellow board member David Pearl, asking for some of her recent notes and correspondence. Pearl has also filed a formal complaint against the board regarding the policy changes, which were made during a July 16 meeting.
"I don't think that is any way to do business on a public board. I feel that the decision was dictated by the Chair (Korkosz), and I filed that complaint as a citizen," Pearl said.
He said, "I filed the complaint because we modified three policies without following the policy for modifying policy."
In their complaint, the Miclettes assert the same thing.
"Failure to know and understand this policy, and the subsequent allowance of this illegal procedure by Chairwoman Korkosz shows an egregious lack of understanding of policy procedure," Miclettes writes in his complaint.
Korkosz said the board will address Pearl's complaint, along with Miclettes' and Miville's, during the school board meeting Aug. 7.
"I didn't violate policy; the school board can revise policy at any time, and there doesn't have to be a first and second reading. We are a policy-setting board, that is what we do," Korkosz said.
Miville's complaint stems from a formal complaint filed against Lyscars by resident Jen Leger, which Korkosz addressed by saying the board would take no action.
"Chairman Korkosz's personal disclosure of the 'private' complaint at a public school board environment, without the knowledge of your fellow board members, and with obvious intent to harm both parties involved, seemed to violate all common sense," Miville wrote in his complaint.
While Pearl's complaint was filed prior to the agreement recently reached between the Manchester and Hooksett school districts that will terminate Hooksett's sending contract in 2014, the Miclettes' and Miville's complaints were filed afterward, leading Korkosz to believe their unhappiness with the settlement led to their filing complaints on unrelated matters.
"I absolutely think they are related," Korkosz said.
The agreement between Manchester and Hooksett settles Hooksett's breach claim against Manchester and Manchester's injunction claim against Hooksett.
While Hooksett gets out of the sending contract roughly four years early, Hooksett is required to pay Manchester $200,000 as a result of the agreement.

KEY WEST, Fla. - Tropical Storm Isaac barely stirred Florida Keys residents from their fabled nonchalance Sunday, while the Gulf Coast braced for the possibility that the sprawling storm will strengthen into a dangerous hurricane by the time it makes landfall there.
KEY WEST, Fla. - Tropical Storm Isaac barely stirred Florida Keys residents from their fabled nonchalance Sunday, while the Gulf Coast braced for the possibility that the sprawling storm will strengthen into a dangerous hurricane by the time it makes landfall there.
Isaac was expected to cross the Keys by late Sunday, then turn northwest and strike as a Category 2 hurricane somewhere between the New Orleans and the Florida Panhandle on Wednesday, the seventh anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
The National Hurricane Center issued a hurricane warning for a large swath of the northern Gulf Coast from east of Morgan City, La. which includes the New Orleans area to Destin, Fla. A Category 2 hurricane has sustained winds of between 96 and 110 mph (154 to 177 kph).
Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal called a state of emergency and suggested that people begin leaving low-lying parts of the state. He also said he may skip a speaking engagement later this week at the Republican National Convention in Tampa if the storm is threatening his state.
The storm was on a course to pass west of Tampa, but it had already disrupted the Republicans' schedule there because of the likelihood of heavy rain and strong winds that extended more than 200 miles from its center.
Even before reaching hurricane strength, Isaac caused considerable inconvenience, with more than 550 flights canceled at Miami International Airport and about 150 from Fort Lauderdale's airport. There were scattered power outages from Key West to Fort Lauderdale affecting more than 8,000 customers, and flooding occurred in low-lying areas. No serious damage was reported.
Wind gusts of 60 mph were reported as far north as Pompano Beach, north of Fort Lauderdale. But while officials urged residents in southeast Florida to stay home, that recommendation was ignored by surfers and joggers on Miami Beach and shoppers at area malls.
In Key West, Emalyn Mercer rode her bike while decked out with a snorkel and mask, inflatable arm bands and a paddle, just for a laugh. She rode with Kelly Friend, who wore a wet suit, dive cap and lobster gloves.
"We're just going for a drink," Mercer said.
"With the ones that are brave enough like us," Friend added.
Along famed Duval Street, many stores, bars and restaurants closed, the cigar rollers and palm readers packed up, and just a handful of drinking holes remained open.
But people posed for pictures at the Southernmost Point, while at a marina Dave Harris and Robyn Roth took her dachshund for a walk and checked out boats rocking along the waterfront.
"Just a summer day in Key West," Harris said.
That kind of ho-hum attitude extended farther up the coast. Edwin Reeder swung by a gas station in Miami Shores not for fuel, but drinks and snacks.
"This isn't a storm," he said. "It's a rain storm."
With a laugh, Reeder said he has not stocked up aside from buying dog and cat food.
The forecast wasn't funny, however. Isaac was expected to draw significant strength from the warm, open waters of the Gulf of Mexico, but there remained much uncertainty about its path.
The Gulf Coast hasn't been hit by a hurricane since 2008, when Dolly, Ike and Gustav all struck the region.
Hurricane center forecasters are uncertain of the storm's path because two of their best computer models now track the storm on opposite sides of a broad cone. One model has Isaac going well west and the other well east. For the moment, the predicted track goes up the middle.
Florida Panhandle residents stocked up on water and gasoline, and at least one Pensacola store ran out of flashlight models and C and D batteries. Scott Reynolds, who lives near the water in Gulf Breeze, filled his car trunk with several cases of water, dozens of power bars and ramen noodles.
"Cigarettes I'm stocking up on those too," he said.
Forecasters stressed that the storm's exact location remained extremely uncertain a fact not lost on Tony Varnado as he cut sheets of plywood to board up his family's beach home on Pensacola Beach. With the storm's projected path creeping farther to the west, the Mandeville, La., resident joked he might be boarding up the wrong house.
"I'm going to head back that way as soon as we are done here to make sure we are prepared if hits there," he said.
Before reaching Florida, Isaac was blamed for seven deaths in Haiti and two more in the Dominican Republic, and downed trees and power lines in Cuba. It bore down on the Keys two days after the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Andrew, which caused more than $25 billion in damage just north of the island chain.
In Tampa, convention officials said they would convene briefly on Monday, then recess until Tuesday afternoon, when the storm was expected to have passed. Gov. Rick Scott canceled his plans to attend convention events on Sunday and Monday.
At Miami International Airport, more than 550 flights Sunday were canceled. Inside the American Airlines terminal, people craned for a look out of one of the doors as a particularly strong band of Isaac began lashing the airport with strong rain and high wind.
Michele Remillard said she was trying to get a seat on a flight to New Orleans, well aware the city could be affected by Isaac later this week. In coastal Plaquemines Parish, La., crews rushed to protect the levees that keep floodwaters from reaching that New Orleans suburb.
"It's a little scary," said Remillard, who was in town for a wedding. "But I need to get home, you know? And if the storm comes my way again, who knows, I might have to come back here."
In Mississippi, officials were drafting an emergency declaration that the governor could sign as early as Sunday. Evacuations had not yet been ordered but were likely, especially in areas vulnerable to storm surge, said Greg Flynn, spokesman for the Mississippi Emergency Management Agency.
As of 5 p.m. EDT, the storm was centered about 40 miles (65 kilometers) south of Key West, according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami. Isaac had top sustained winds of 60 mph (95 kph) and was moving to the northwest at 16 mph (26 kph).
Tropical storm-force winds extended outward up to 205 miles (335 km) from the center, meaning storm conditions are possible even in places not in Isaac's direct path.
Associated Press writers Tony Winton in Key West, Melissa Nelson in Pensacola, Fla., and Tim Reynolds, Curt Anderson and Suzette Laboy in Miami contributed to this report.

MOSCOW—The Kremlin criticized the U.S. decision to arm Syrian opposition fighters and said Washington's evidence that the Syrian regime is using chemical weapons was unconvincing, but said Friday that Moscow is "not yet" discussing its plans to deliver of air-defense missiles to the regime.
President Barack Obama on Thursday authorized the U.S. to arm fighters against the Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's regime, reversing a policy of giving only nonlethal support to the country's opposition in the two-year-old civil war. The White House cited confirmation that Mr. Assad's regime had killed up to 150 people with chemical weapons as the reason for its about-face.
Syria in the Spotlight
Track the latest events in a map, see the key players and a chronology of the unrest.
U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron said Friday that Britain hadn't yet decided to supply arms to the rebels alongside the U.S., but welcomed Washington's assessment of Syrian weapons use. The U.K. and France were instrumental in ending a European Union arms embargo on Syria, paving the way for increased European assistance to rebel forces.
Mr. Cameron was due to discuss the situation in Syria with Mr. Obama later Friday, a spokesman said. French officials are expected to meet over the weekend with Gen. Salim Idris, who commands the coalition of moderate rebel forces, to discuss future aid including possible arms supplies, according to a French official.
The U.S. move comes ahead of a meeting between Mr. Obama and Russian President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the G-8 summit in Northern Ireland that starts on Monday. Syria will be at the top of the agenda for the sidelines meeting.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said Friday that he opposed the U.S. decision to send arms. "There is no such military solution. Only a political solution can address this issue sustainably; therefore, [increasing] the flow of arms to either side would not be helpful," he said.
Mr. Ban also emphasized the need for Syria to allow an on-the-ground investigation to "establish the facts."
The Syrian government on Friday dismissed U.S. charges that it used chemical weapons as "full of lies," accusing Mr. Obama of resorting to fabrications to justify his decision to arm Syrian rebels, the AP reported.
Officials from Russia, which along with Iran is Mr. Assad's most prominent foreign ally, said the evidence on chemical weapons isn't rock solid.
"We had a meeting with American representatives in which Americans tried to present information to us about the regime's use of chemical weapons, but frankly speaking, the evidence Americans set out looks unconvincing," Yuri Ushakov, the Kremlin's top foreign-policy aide, said Friday, according to Russian news agencies.
Mr. Ushakov cited the flawed intelligence assessment from the administration of former President George W. Bush about weapons of mass destruction in the run-up to the Iraq war but said he didn't want to "draw any parallels."
Other Russian officials were more direct. "The data on Assad's use of chemical weapons is fabricated just like the lies about weapons of [Saddam] Hussein's weapons of mass destruction," read a tweet on the feed of Alexei Pushkov, chairman of the Russian parliament's international relations committee. "Obama is going down the path of G. Bush."
The Kremlin opposes any international action against its longtime client, Mr. Assad. Russian officials have said they plan to fulfill a 2010 contract for the S-300 missiles as a way to deter potential outside military intervention in the Syrian civil war. Western powers and Israel have opposed the sale of the system.
Both Moscow and the U.S. are pushing the warring sides in Syria to enter peace talks in the coming months.
But opposition forces have appealed for more weapons and support in recent weeks as they've lost ground against Mr. Assad's troops and their allies from the Iranian-backed Lebanese organization Hezbollah.
The U.S. conclusion that Mr. Assad's regime has wielded chemical weapons was based on physical samples taken from Syria, said Ben Rhodes, the White House Deputy National Security Adviser for Strategic Communications.
He said the U.S. relied on "multiple, independent streams of information" and has "high confidence" in the assessment. He cited four dates and locations at which the U.S. believes Mr. Assad's regime employed chemical weapons.
Mr. Ushakov, who long served as the Russian ambassador to the U.S., said any extension of the White House's support for Syria's opposition fighters won't help a joint effort by the U.S. and Russia to bring the bloody conflict's opposing sides to the negotiating table.
Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Alexander Lukashevich said the move suggests U.S. efforts to bring the opposition to the peace talks had stalled. He said pumping arms into Syria will increase "the level of armed confrontation and violence against civilians" and reiterated Russia's commitment to a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
U.S. officials have stressed that Mr. Assad, backed by Hezbollah, has been making gains more than two years into a violent conflict that has left more than 93,000 people dead, according to United Nations figures. But before Thursday, the U.S. didn't agree to provide weapons to the opposition, citing concerns that new arms could wind up in the hands of extremists and might not change the balance on the ground, as well as uncertainty about reports of the regime's use of chemical weapons.
Some U.K. lawmakers have voiced similar concerns, complicating any British efforts to arm rebels.
"What is clear today is that…in our world today there is a brutal dictator who is using chemical weapons under our nose in a conflict where almost a 100,000 people have already died—and what is important is that we work with our partners to do what we can to bring this to an end," Mr. Cameron said Friday.
The Syrian regime is a longtime Kremlin ally dating back to the days of the Cold War. Mr. Putin has opposed outside military intervention in the Syrian conflict, and Russia has joined China in vetoing three U.N. resolutions that were aimed at forcing Mr. Assad to step down.
Mr. Ushakov stressed that the U.S. and Russia aren't "competing on Syria," and are trying to find a constructive way to solve the problem in the region.
Syria's government signed a contract in 2010 to buy four S-300 batteries with 144 missiles for $900 million, and the first deliveries were scheduled to start this summer. The weapons could change the power dynamic in the Middle East and help the Assad regime prevent the sort of military campaign Western governments organized to aid rebels fighting Col. Moammar Gadhafi in Libya.

Visits, Admit Days, and Open Houses / Re: Born, Raised, and Educated in Western MA. Going to law school in warmer pastures« on: November 22, 2011, 10:27:13 AM »
I'm familiar with Santa Clara and San Jose. None of the other ones you listed. Santa Clara is a fine school and San Jose is a nice city the 10th largest in America, which is very surprising, but true. You are only an hour away from San Francisco as well so if you wanted see the city it would be easy to do.
Santa Clara has a pretty good reputation in the Bay Area, but the Bay Area is one of the most competitive places in America. Like Boston or New York. Santa Clara is probably the 4th / 5th most highly regarded school in the Bay Area and you will be competition with 9 law schools. Stanford, Berkeley, Hastings, USF, Santa Clara, Golden Gate and the CBA schools JFK, San Francisco, and then UC Davis and McGeorge are not far away.
San Jose is a nice town though it is perfect weather almost year round and Santa Clara is nice I have nothing bad to say about it. It is a Jesuit school and that is kind of present there, but that might be a result of the few people I know there being Jesuit to begin with so they probably bring up more than the normal students there.
Anyways, Santa Clara gets a thumbs up for me, but it is expensive and finding a job will be difficult, but it can be done.
Thanks for the info. The competitive legal market in Cali is really the only thing that is giving me pause in regards to Santa Clara. The more I look at their intellectual property/high tech law classes the more I want to go there. I suppose if there is one place to be and indebted and jobless lawyer it's beautiful San Jose right?

ESPN.com's John Clayton posted his quarterback rankings this morning and has Kevin Kolb at No. 24 among NFL starters in what he termed the "Hit or Miss Division," largely for unproven young players.
Clayton says Kolb has a 50 percent chance of becoming an elite quarterback, his grade for the top guys at the position.
Writes Clayton: "Kolb is the perfect quarterback for Andy Reid's West Coast offense, which is why the Eagles traded Donovan McNabb to the Redskins. Kolb is a rhythm passer out of three- and five-step drops, and he should have a big statistical year."
In case you are wondering, he has Donovan McNabb among the elite QBs and ranked No. 9.
"Mike Shanahan offers McNabb play-action options he didn't have with the Eagles' pass-heavy offense. With McNabb at the helm, the Redskins could be one of the surprise teams in the NFC."
You can read the whole list by clicking the link, but this certainly makes for some interesting discussion, especially given how poorly the first-team offense has looked in the preseason.
Back with more from today's practice sessions.
