The planning committee has identified numerous opportunities for infusing the innovation theme into conference activities.
Workshop Sessions
- Innovation Briefing: These 5-8 minute presentations are designed to act like TED Talks, that is, a brief snapshot of an issue or solution around the engaged campus theme.
- Innovation Workshop: The sessions can be up to 75 minutes long, should be interactive and should be presented in an innovative manner. Take a traditional conference workshop and shake it up – you set the boundaries!
- Innovation Roundtable: These problem-solving sessions are designed to have a facilitator pose a question or questions around the engaged campus and innovation themes. Participants will come to the roundtable expecting a dialogue and information sharing, rather than a formal presentation. Your job is to bring the question and other resources that can inform the outcome.

State Compact Director Convening – Campus Compact has reserved space and light snacks for a convening of state Compact directors immediately following the conference on Tuesday afternoon.
Conference Costs & Travel
Conference registration fee for the 3-Day conference is $300. There will be no discount for presenters. The Dearborn Inn has given us a fantastic rate of $121/night in the historic hotel. This rate can apply to days prior and after the conference if participants wish to extend their stay. Participants from other states wishing to fly into Michigan should use Detroit Metro Airport (DTW). Rental car or taxi cab are the best options for getting to Dearborn. Those driving to the conference have access to parking on-site for free.


text: Make your voice heard in Washington, D.C. The MTA is strongly urging members to weigh in as soon as possible concerning the budget debate now going on in Washington, D.C. Members of Congress and President Barack Obama are discussing plans for tax increases and budget cuts – and the results could spell real trouble for students and public education if the right course is not followed. Congress needs to do the right thing. It's time to stop giving tax breaks to the wealthiest 2 percent while sticking children and working families with the tab. "Election Day was just the beginning of the fight," said MTA President Paul Toner. "Our hard work for U.S. Senator-elect Elizabeth Warren, President Obama and many other candidates made a real difference. "But we can't let up," Toner continued. "There is no better time than right now to send a message on behalf of our students. We all need to let our elected officials know how much cuts would harm our schools, colleges and universities." One important way for educators to get involved is by taking the"Kids Not Cuts" pledge. Another is to share the story of what "fiscal cliff" budget cuts would mean to students and public education. To explain the impact, please visit:http://educationvotes.nea.org/2012/11/15/share-your-story-kids-not-cuts/ Please take these steps right away and feel free to share this message with your fellow educators. Thank you.

Inspectors testing the waters of New Hampshire
By LARISSA MULKERN
Special to the Union Leader | July 07. 2013 8:05PM
Matt and Cassi Gifford of Manchester haul their large float at Carry Beach on Lake Winnipesaukee on Friday. (LARISSA MULKERN PHOTO)
"I got it extremely bad though one year — all over my entire body," he said.
"I see a difference in water quality, in the color. It's greener than it used to be and I understand that's not a good thing," he said. "But I do think overall the water quality is fine."
"I've been coming here since I was a baby," said Cassi. Carry Beach is one of the few public town beaches where floatation toys are allowed. At the beach entrance, a sign asks the public to adhere to a list of more than a dozen health and safety rules, including a request for those with communicable diseases to stay out of the water, a reminder against going to the bathroom in the water, and another prohibiting the use of soap to bathe in the lake.
Would they go swimming here if an E.coli advisory posted?
"Yeah, I would," said Matt. "Stuff like that doesn't bother me. E.coli has been around for a long time."
In other parts of the state on Friday, only a few freshwater beaches in the state registered high enough levels of bacteria to warrant an advisory to swimmers. Those included: Crescent Drive Beach on Halfmoon Lake in Barnstead; Bartlett Town Beach on Lake Winnisquam in Laconia; Colony Beach on Locke Lake in Barnstead; Moose Brooke State Park beach in Gorham; Libby Town Pool at the Peabody River in Gorham; and Tuttle Brook at the Twin Mountain Recreation Area in Carroll.
In advance of the 2013 testing season, the DES Beach Program has also created online tools. A map searchable by town on the beach advisory page to show where current advisories are located can be accessed at: www2.des.state.us/WaterShed_BeachMaps/WaterShed_BeachMaps.aspz.

Does not work anymore in opera 12.10 - please fix it! :-(
Nice extension, but it's missing an important function: the ability to rotate images. Add that and it'll be 5 stars.
I really enjoyed this extension, but it's kinda broken with recent beta builds of Opera.
I hope it will be fixed <3
@masster:g.e-hentai.org, HENTAI ? Finally,

Nice, fast - best!
here is a site where extension is not working.
plus there are times when clicking an image is already assigned to another function, such as Next image.
Please solve this issue.
Could anyone still having trouble with 1.7.1 note any errors report by Opera's error console in the issue list? It's working for me and for my colleague, so it looks like I'll need some hints.
Now it works for me with version 1.7.2 under Opera 11.60 build 1185! Thanks for the great job and hard work!
Doesn't work properly with 1185 build.

curious why did you sell it? Im looking of trading my Jetta in for one?
Purely because of financial reason getting married and I want a sick house. I was able to cut my payment and balance in half. I put 23k on her in one year so I knew I would destroy value if I kept it. It's funny I bought a 09 Crv thinking it's a small light 4cyl I might even get better mpg, but it turns out the Q5 won that battle.

When it comes to marketing, few tactics are as tried and true as the celebrity endorsement. Having an iconic person stand behind a brand, after all, can build buzz and make a product memorable.
[ See also: Priceless! The 25 Funniest Vintage Tech Ads ]
That's how it's supposed to work, anyway. Sometimes, celebrity endorsements just make you scratch your head and wonder what the hell the company was thinking.
Here are 20 of tech's most unlikely celeb-product pairings.
1. Elvira for LBMS
Our first ill-fated endorsement is an oldie but a goodie: the one and only Elvira strutting her stuff for LBMS's project management program. The ad may have been titillating, but I don't think buying software is what it inspired people to do.

"This is my second time using tinyprints and I love their products. The set-up was easy, the design options are just beautiful and it is very hassle free. I did not think the photo came out very crisp but I also used a photo off my iphone and not something from a professional so that could have been part of the issue. Still I would recommend this company to friends or family."
"I sent off the order, only to realise that night that I had to change the date of the event due to scheduling problems! I called Tiny Prints early the next morning and was able to put a hold on the printing until I could confirm the date. I called 2 days later and they were able to send it off to a designer before it went to printing. The staff were very understanding and helpful. And I got the order 2 days later! And I live in Canada! Very happy with the quality of the invitations. I will definitely use Tiny Prints again and recommend it to my friends!"
"Loved the way the invitation came out. Received many compliments on them. Printed return and addressee option made my life SO much easier!"
"I love it!! It's so easy to design a card. I did couple projects, chose couple pics, used different format of picture. Overall, I did like 5 projects. It was extremely easy. And final product is awesome, exactly what I exoected. Paper has a great quality, it's thick, colors are as u designed online. It was shipped and delivered very fast. I love it! I also ordered books with pages, and other stuff. I can't imagine doing any party without invites from the web. So easy to design and price is great for the quality. I know that my next order will be also from them. Thanks!"

Download Successful marketing is, at its core, all about collaboration. Yet working together-across teams, departments and agencies, as well as with customers and partners-is getting more difficult as the pace of business and the number of moving parts increase. Most marketers still depend on the same tools and methods they used 20 years ago: email, meetings, phone calls and desktop apps, leading to a lot of disconnects, inefficiency and pain. But change is finally at hand.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
|FJ Cruiser Guy
What do you use during metal work?
I used a DTM Epoxy primer on my truck after complete sand blast. It worked very well. Question is, what do I spray on areas where I am now cutting and patching rust spots? This is pure metal work right now, no filler. Cut rust out and weld patch panels/pieces back. I need something that is easy ie. rattle can, while working on metal bc I can not be moving back and forth to the spray booth and spraying two part primers.
Thanks. The prices I've been quoted for plastic blast media are insane - but it appears to be the best blast media choice for an old car.
Also- I am completely sold on laying down epoxy without an acid wash, then doing the bodywork over that. In the past, I have carved filler out of bare metal many times only to find rust under the bondo. It's amazing that people didn't think of bondo over epoxy back then...
My two cents, after 40 years of restoration work.
Sand blast, plastic blast or sand with 80 or rougher.
I do not use an acid wash next. The phosphate coating is great if your are doing metal work for extended time open time, then sand it all off. The best surface for epoxy is bare metal.
Next a good epoxy. This coating is only to protect the metal. Not for any kind of build up.
Next any kind of bondo work that you will do.
Then comes the urethane building surfacer or (spray poly)
Spray poly is not a primer surfacer. It is a spray-able body filler, the will be covered over later with primer surfacer.
I tried to make this as short and sweet as possible.

I had no idea that you could flow cavity wax. It makes sense to apply it after the paint is done.
I'll let you guys know how it goes after I start stripping the individual panels with aircraft stripper & prep then epoxy prime.
Thanks for the info.
|For the interior of the doors clean them as best you can, apply epoxy primer to any areas that can be cleaned well, treat any areas that can't be cleaned well with a cavity wax like 3M Rustfighter. I usually tape the drain holes shut wo the coating doesn't run out and let the seams soak and fill with the waxy coating then pull the tape a few days later and open up the drains. The cavity wax should be applied after your paint work is done to avoid paint contamination.
Good advice.
Since I'm used to only painting frames and motorcycle gas tanks (read: easy), what do you guys do to strip and prime the inside of doors? Do you slosh epoxy in there, or what? It just seems like those kind of spaces are going to be impossible to clean 100% and prime 100%.
If I am going to go through all this headache, I just want to make sure that this poor little car doesn't have to go through this again for at least another 50 years!
I just want to get every last bit of corrosion out for good...?
If I can add something, forgive me if it has been mentioned I only skimmed the thread. Do not strip this car completely at one time. Strip a panel or two MAX then prep and get them in primer before moving on to another panel. Stripping a complete car is a HUGE undertaking and unless you have a lot of time, room and experiance a guy is usually pretty overwhelmed by the job.
|Thanks, man- that was just what I needed.
Sometimes I spread the seams open between the spotwelds and use a spot blaster to get as much corrosion out as possible, then epoxy prime, apply a urethane seam sealer and close them back up with hammer and dolly. This works well on accessable areas. It's also very important to treat these seams from the backside with cavity wax if possible. Bottom line is, trapped acid in these seams is worse than leaving some light corrosion and sealing it off from both sides. Cut the oxygen supply off and the oxidation will stop. In cases where the rust is severe within the seams you should section that area out, remove the corrosion and weld it back together or make a replacement piece.
A quality epoxy will have a good amount of Zinc Phosphate in it for corrosion resistance.
Thanks for the input.
Yeah- the more I read, the more I am shying away from sandblasting any flat panels.
If I go with chemical stripping & sanding, then go straight to epoxy, should I be concerned about the seams in the body? As you probably know, British cars are notorious for having a lot of seams where certain permanent body panels meet (front valance, rear valence, turtle deck, etc...). This is why I was leaning towards an acid wash- so that I would get some protection down in the nooks and crannies (and there are a lot of them!) in this old car.
My biggest concern is getting some protection in those areas that I will not be able to reach with sanding- I am expecting that there will be a small amount of surface rust in those seams that I simply will not be able to reach.
What do you think- should I just flood those small seams with a zinc chromate primer before applying epoxy???
Sandblast your jambs, floor, engine compartment, window openings, but don't sandblast the exterior surfaces unless you have experience and can control the blaster for no metal warpage. A 67 Triumph is a tiny car and it wouldn't take very long to strip the exterior with chemical stripper, a razor blade scraper, sanding or a combination of all. Your metal should have a blasted texture or be sanded with 80 grit prior to applying any epoxy. Clean it well with wax and grease remover. Once the parts are in epoxy you can work any damaged areas at your own pace. Fillers can be applied to epoxy primer without the need for sanding if done within the epoxy's recoat window-but after the recoat window is up and the epoxy reaches full cure you'll need to scuff it with 180 grit for texture before any fillers are applied. Read the tech sheets on the primer you are using and if there's any question contact the manufacturer. Starting with a quality epoxy over clean and textured bare metal is the foundation for a job that will outlast you and I.
You've got a few choices on primer surfacers, polyester for heavy fill work, urethane, and epoxy hybrid types. Stay away from lacquer 1K surfacers. Also stay away from the acid wash products-they are not needed when using quality epoxy and can make for some mysterious problems down the road if not used correctly. Most acid etch primers should not be applied over sandblasted metal.
Thanks for all the great info (and the links- I guess this is a subject that gets beat to death!). This is making a lot more sense to me now.
If I am correct, it sounds like I can safely do this:
1. Sand blast the entire car
2. Immediately acid wash each part after blasting
3. Clean with Prep Solvent
4. Apply Epoxy Primer
5. Scuff areas for filler
6. Body filler & sand
7. Urethane build primer & sand
8. base coats (with or without sanding)
9. clear coats (with or without sanding)
One BIG question about dealing with a sand-blasted car:
After blasting I will have a lot of blast media residue to deal with. Since the metal will begin rusting right away, I probably don't want to rinse/clean the body with water. Obviously, compressed air won't blow all the residue away. If I just spray the acid wash right onto the bare metal that has blasting residue on it, when I go to clean with prep solvent (much later, but just before applying the epoxy), will the prep-solvent and wiping take care of all the blast residue?
I just don't want to paint over blast residue, and I don't want to rinse the car with water...how is this generally handled? Or am I worrying too much (impossible, right?)?
And thanks for everything.
But he has problems, big, big problems!!!!.LOL
(and I may be one of them )
Dave the best bet is epoxy primer.. People will debate till the end of time whether its best to use an acid etch, then epoxy , or epoxy only, or acid etch then 2k etc etc etc..
For top notch work, IMO, using epoxy, then your 2k build primer for blocking is the only way to go.. Acid etch is yester years technology and while it was all good back in the day.. back in the day is gone..
I would also recommend that you strip that paint job.. start off with epoxy and work your way up.. I was not alive in 67, but I would assume its lacquer..
When you read of someone working off of an existing paint job and being told its okay to do that , they are speaking of urethanes and you could do the same with acrylic enamel paints, that have one paint job on them, not multiples..
Lacquer is porous.. Its a sponge ( read acid etch.. is a lacquer primer with acid content is all.. read dont use!!)..
If your paint job is lacquer as i assume, then you dont want that sponge underneath a fresh job.. Plus you dont know whats underneath a paint job that old.. You would be surprised what you will find often..
You will hear everyone talking about 2k.. that is just a name we use for urethane primers.. epoxy is called epoxy and base coat and clear are called what they are..
i would strongly suggest you start fresh and do it right... By that I mean stripping it and starting with epoxy..
Epoxy is the same resins as Ecoat.. the stuff they dip the cars in at the factory.. Only difference is solvencys between the 2.. One is bake only, while the other can air dry (epoxy)..
A little reading infor for you as well
etch vs epoxy
epoxy on bare metal
Bare metal prep
tac rag info
This should get you going.. I am sure someone else will chime in when they read this on Wed..
Old thread, I realize, but...
I am new to the forum. I am preparing to do all the stripping, bodywork, prep and painting of my 1967 Triumph TR-4A (Car). In years past (25 years ago), I worked with laquer on motorcycles. A lot seems to have changed since then...
I have read elsewhere that if the original paint on a car is in very good condition (and mine is- it has never been repainted), that the original paint makes for an excellent base to work on- that it is either undesirable or unnecessary to completely strip the entire car if there are no extra layers of paint on it.
What I cannot find an answer to is this:
There are some portions of the car that I will be sandblasting (engine compartment and interior) that need stripping. There are some portions that will require minor dent repair, some that will require interior panel replacement. All of the modern primers seem to have different limitations- one is for bare metal, and another is for primed metal, another for painted metal...my car will have all 3 surfaces!
Using a bc/cc as a finish, and working backwards, I am having a lot of trouble coming up with a step-by-step plan for when to prime, when to bodywork, when to use a filler primer, etc... I am also concerned about having to use different primers on different parts of the car, and how all those different products overlapping might cause hreadaches later. I will also need to use something like Oxysolve after sandblasting in order to keep the bare metal from rusting until I can either prime it or put filler in it. Some have opined that the use of this product under fillers is a bad idea.
Is there a thread in this forum that gives an example as far as a plan for how to deal with these issues, and which order to proceed if I am trying not to strip the entire car and end up with bc/cc?
Anything will be much appreciated. Thank you.

Foxconn Runs into Trouble Deploying Robot Replacements for Human Workers
Tiffany Kaiser
December 11, 2012 12:48 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
(Source: supplychaindigital.com)
High costs and changing technology were cited as two main hurdles
Foxconn would love to eliminate its worker woes by
deploying a full fleet of robots
to do the work instead, but this venture may be trickier than previously thought.
Foxconn, which is the trading name for Hon Hai Precision Co. in China where devices like the iPhone and iPad are made, hopes to replace all 1.5 million of its workers with robots in the future, but issues like changing technology and high costs are putting delays on the project.
Hon Hai Chairman Terry Gou said in 2011 that he wanted 300,000 robots installed by the end of 2012 and a total of 1 million by 2014. However, in June of this year, it was apparent that those targets weren't going to happen. Instead, he hopes to have "monotonous" tasks eliminated through automation within a few years and fully automated plants in five to 10 years.
The issue? For one, the cost to install that many robots would be very high. According to
The Wall Street Journal
, Foxconn would have to spend anywhere from $2.1 billion to over $10 billion for fully automated plants, depending on the type of robots used. Foxconn's traditional capital spending is below $3 billion.
In addition to cost, technology is ever-changing, and keeping up with the production cycles of different products would take more time than having humans perform the same task. For instance, once you've finished stabilizing the process for one product, it's already time for a new product to roll down the line.
Just last month, it was announced that at least
one Foxconn factory in China received 10,000 robots
for the purpose of replacing human workers. These robots, which were manufactured in house and called "Foxbots," are capable of doing simple tasks like lifting, making selections and placing items where they belong. They will act much like assembly line robots. According to
Singularity HUB
, each robot costs about $20,000-$25,000.
The whole point of Foxconn's robot replacement program is to rid itself of the troubles that come with having human workers. Foxconn has been under the microscope since 2009 for various troubles like worker suicides, explosions in the plants due to aluminum dust build-up and other unsafe working conditions, riots, excessive overtime, low pay, etc.
The company came under fire earlier this year when
The New York Times
published a massive article
on the working conditions of Foxconn factories. Apple was also targeted because the report mentioned Apple's lack of action when receiving reports on these poor working environments and overtime/pay issues.
Foxconn gave employees a pay boost earlier this year and is cleaning its act up slowly but surely to comply with audits.
The Wall Street Journal
"There's no chance that the iPhone is going to get any significant market share. No chance." -- Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer

Everton 1-0 ArsenalWomen's League Cup Final Matchroom Stadium Thu, February 28, 2008. 7.35pm
By Matt Fortune
Emma Byrne believes that Arsenal Ladies can learn valuable lessons from their shock 1-0 defeat to Everton in the League Cup Final.
The Irish goalkeeper conceded the only goal of the game after seven minutes but expects Arsenal to thrive now that more opponents are starting to believe they can get the better of the Gunners.
"I think the result was good for women's football as well as for us," said Byrne. "In a way to have teams challenging us is good for lots of reasons especially that it gives us a kick up the backside and makes us train a little bit harder.
"Too many times we have conceded first and just out-scored the opposition. When you play against teams like Everton it won't work and tonight has proved that. We must stop conceding silly goals.
"We have the characters in the dressing room to lift the squad. We are not accustomed to losing but this will make us take note of ourselves."
And what are the prospects of Arsenal bouncing back with another Quadruple next season?
"That's what we are aiming for," smiled Byrne.Copyright 2017 The Arsenal Football Club plc. Permission to use quotations from this article is granted subject to appropriate credit being given to www.arsenal.com as the source

I was out fishing on the lake today and the strangest thing ever happened. As we were fishing, wood ducks started to fly over us and began rafting out in the middle of a large lake. There were probably close to 1,000 wood ducks rafted on the lake like divers do (a huge popular fishing lake) they would fly just over our heads and land in the lake. They would squeal everytime a woodie would come over and they would just suck in. And there were boats going everywhere and people out in house all along the lake and the ducks continued to land. It was just the strangest thing i have ever seen
Just thought i would share this. I have a video of our boat running through the raft and jumping them but i dont know how to post it. And i dont have you tube.

at all the people that say ''failed project'' when the game is only in its stress test phase ... seriously what i have seen in the game i can say that it turned out better then i expected it to be ... i hope to play it atleast for few months.
got to lv12 on sorcerer class ... lvl summoning and dark magic to lv20 ... and lvled bow , one hand/shield , staff and etc ... did some crafting , exploration , random quests and so on was quite fun especially that we played with 5 or so people together ... it was fun finding funny buggs ... that would piss us off or would make us laugh non stop ... all in all its better then we expected.

The first, i've pulled that garbage apart repeatedly. Can you produce more than three videos of what that trash is about, or are you going to fall back on that one video they showed at the convention.
edit: Now we've got people that don't even know what a stress-test is complaining that they can't get into a game...

Do they use some bull-dinky self-made downloader like Allods and stuff? :/
After reading all the negative publicity of the game in the media I finally managed to get a hold of a key myself.
Obviously there is NDA so I am not going to talk a lot about it really but all I can say is that it's better than I expected it to be.
The only thing that annoyed me a little is the somewhat clunky combat, but the quests are really refreshing after most MMO's we played.
And it's one of the few MMO's with an actual nice story to it, it's one of the few where I actually read what was going on in the quests. I do have to say you play this MMO for the PvE and not for the PvP since the PvP is just a clone of Guild Wars 2.
like i know you're stupid, but i didn't expect you to be downright mentally challenged.
also lol, archeage is a sandpark, not really sandbox but definitely not themepark.
recycled trash? honestly i don't think you should be talking about recycled trash.

As for Arch-age, the comment stands, it's going to flop within its first month in the west and go crawling back to the idiots that like to re-hash trash they've played time and time again.
Pretty stupid if you think TESO will fail, Obv you diden't play the beta or else you would know that its gonna be a huge hit. I will be buying the game at launch and a year sub, my family and friends will be to. I cannot believe Onrpg Journalists write such trash, makes me believe that this site really is going downhill.

Food pantries across the state feeling economic pinch
By MELANIE PLENDA
Special to the Sunday News | December 08. 2012 8:36PM
Mary Lou Huffling of the Fall Mountain Food Shelf in Alstead is one of many such food pantry coordinators across the state that is concerned about an increase in clients seeking help this holiday season. (MELANIE PLENDA)
"He was all apologetic and out of work and needed some food," Huffling said. "He felt bad coming. I asked him in conversation if he had had Thanksgiving and he said, 'No, no we didn't have anything because we couldn't afford it.' I said, 'Would you like to have a late Thanksgiving?' So we gave him the last turkey and the last dinner box and he was just thrilled."
For 30 years, the Fall Mountain Food Shelf has giving out both Thanksgiving and Christmas food boxes to needy families in the area. But higher prices on everything, along with extended unemployment, is resulting in a deluge of clients for food pantries across the state.
Fall Mountain, like other such facilities, is scrambling to fulfill families' holiday needs this year, but it hasn't been easy.
Fall Mountain, which services Acworth, Alstead, Charlestown, North Charlestown, Langdon, Walpole, North Walpole and occasionally Marlow and Unity, is part of the Monadnock Food Coalition, a loose collective of food pantries and agencies that help low-income families in the region. The Community Kitchen, the food pantry and soup kitchen in Keene, hosts the coalition.
"We're not a high-income area," said Huffling, who runs the Fall Mountain Food Shelf, one of the harder-hit pantries in the state. "It just seems like we have a lot of people unemployed. A lot of the elderly here, they worked on farms and on the mica mines and the factories. They never made big money and so their Social Security and stuff is not high. And then the cost of living and everything has gone up, so we're finding a lot of elderly having to use the food pantry."
At close to 1,000 families per month showing up at their doors for food, The Fall Mountain Food Shelf in downtown Alstead has seen a 20 percent increase over last year in the number of people they are helping, Huffling said.
She said the families they are helping are out of work, and have been for a while. Or, she said, they are working but are not making very much. She also said these families, most of whom have to drive 30 minutes to Keene or Claremont for work, are taking a hit with the increase in gas prices.
While the economy is playing a big role in the increase, Huffling is worried that a decrease in monetary donations this year will seriously affect the food pantry's ability to get Christmas baskets out to their families.
Phoebe Bray, executive director of The Community Kitchen in Keene, said unlike her facility, many of the other food pantries in the region are not nonprofits and can't solicit money.
The Community Kitchen does the collecting through the coalition. Money raised is used exclusively for Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets. While she didn't have exact numbers, Bray said this year donations were down, partly because while people can afford to give a little food, fewer can afford to give lump sums of cash.
"We didn't have as much cash raised this year as we were last year," Bray said. "But here in Keene, we were able to buy some food for the coalition . We are planning to do it for Christmas (baskets). And we will give as much as we can. But the numbers (of clients) that Mary Lou (Huffling) has up there are just staggering."
Huffling is convinced that, based on what she is seeing, even with the coalition's help, they won't have enough.
"The coalition is going to try to get the turkeys," she said. "But it doesn't look like they are going to have enough to get them."
She is hoping that people will be able to donate protein, such as turkey, ham and chicken. And though Fall Mountain doesn't have a lot of freezer space, she said if people interested in donating just called her and let her know they would be bringing one of those things by Friday, Dec. 21, the day before baskets go out, that would be a tremendous help.
"People are counting on these baskets," Huffling said. "A lot of people have signed up for them. It's an important part of the spirit of Christmas."
Going across the state, it's a mixed bag when it comes to donations
Across the board, pantry officials said the need is up anywhere from 7 to 15 percent. Bray said they've seen a seven-percent uptick, mostly of people hit by the economy.
"You know, the financial gurus say you should have at least three months' savings tucked away. That's fine, but what happense if you are then unemployed for seven?" Bray asked. "We're seeing an uptick on that particular kind of client. And also we have seniors who come in and their savings are exhausted. You know, if you've been retired 25 years, who could have predicted $3.50 a gallon for gas?"
Both Keene - which serves all of Cheshire County - and the Listen Community Services in Lebanon, which serves the whole Upper Valley, said they've seen more clients, but they've also seen a lot of donations.
They said they've been lucky that businesses and schools have really stepped up their food drives - including one earlier this month - not just during the holiday season, but going back to the summer.
Raymond Pecor, the food program manager for Listen, said the Upper Valley has been very generous, which is good, considering the challenges people are facing, including he said, the drought out west, which is expected to raise the cost of food.
"I think people are being more generous this year," he said. "I think people are being more conscious and aware."
In Nashua and on the Seacoast, officials said they also are seeing an increase of clients.
Rosemarie Dykeman the social services director with the Salvation Army Food Pantry in Nashua said they are seeing people working multiple jobs but still aren't making enough to pay for rent, utilities and food.
"We are getting people who've waited as long as they could before coming to get food," she said. "But they are just really struggling."

Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
I was impressed with Ertz from Stanford last night. What's he projected to go?
Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
I understand why we probably wouldn't pick him in the early, but man, I'd be thrilled. And he's a local Dunbar kid.
I think he is a rich mans version of Antonio Brown and would offer our WR core something we don't have in a shorter, cat quick guy who is absolutely amazing in the open field.
I really like Keenan Allen too BTW lolAlthough Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.
Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
Finally my first mock draft of the year... first round to begin with, I will post my second, third and fourth rounds later on when I finish fix them up a little...
First round, 1-16
1. Kansas city chiefs: Geno Smith, QB, West Virginia
The Chiefs have been awful this year, and it's high time they get something out of this talented group. They are going to have to completely rebuild. Whoever inherits this team are going to get an already talented team to work with, particularly on defense, but will need to draft a QB who the team will play for. IMO Geno Smith has been the best QB in college football this year, and deserves to be the number 1 overall pick, so far anyway. The Chiefs are a QB away from competing for the AFC West.
2. Jacksonville Jaguars: Jarvis Jones, DE/OLB, Georgia
Jacksonville are likely to get a new regime pretty soon too, but that doesn't mean whoever the new coach is, will be taking a QB in the first round. To me, Jarvis Jones is the best overall player in the draft and is very similar to Von Miller, if not better. I think the Jags can wait for the second round to bring in some legit competition for Gabbert. The Jags have holes at LB, and they need to get some more pass rush, they have really struggled getting to the QB this year, Jarvis Jones can certainly help in that regard straight away.
3. Cleveland Browns: Damontre Moore, DE/OLB, Texas A&M
The Browns finally have a talented team to work with, they have a QB developing (even though he is 28 years old), they are set at RB, and they have a receiving core of players that are making progress. I would have thought depending on whoever the new GM is, will want to take the best DE in the draft and make him the franchise defensive player for the next decade. I am a HUGE fan of Damontre Moore, he has elite speed off the edges, and is only a notch below Jarvis Jones at this point, he may even want to stay in school for another year, but many draftniks are projecting him as a top 5 pick, why would he want to risk losing that status next year? The Browns already have a solid defense to build around, but need someone that can get to the QB on a consistent basis. Jabal Sheared is a pretty good and underrated player, but he isn't enough to dominate other Olines, and needs help opposite him.
4. Carolina Panthers: Star Lotulelei, DT/NT/DE, Utah
The Panthers have some serious holes to address on defense if they want to start winning games, and competing for the NFC South. Lotulelei is the best defensive tackle prospect coming out since Suh, but is more along the lines of Haloti Ngata in the way that he plays. The Panthers have big problems on the Dline, it's arguably the worst Dline in football right now, so this pick makes sense.
5. Buffalo Bills: Matt Barkley, QB, USC
Even though I'm personally not the biggest fan of Barkley, he's still a top 10 pick, and Buffalo just aren't getting it done with Fitzpatrick. Matt Barkley has had his struggles this year, but I think he could potentially become a franchise QB in this league, and help a team like Buffalo win more games under center than they are with Fitzpatrick. Buffalo have a talented team, but as you seen against the Patriots last week, they needed a QB to throw the winning TD, not throw the losing interception.
6. Oakland Raiders: Sam Montgomery, DE/OLB, LSU
The Raiders flat out suck up front, they have zero pass rush, and can't stop the run to save their lives. Oakland need help everywhere, but pass rush comes first. Sam Montgomery is a very good prospect, he has good size, speed, and strength, and I think he can become a force in the NFL. He can really help Oakland out on defense, that's for sure.
7. Saint Louis Rams (From Washington): Luke Joeckel, OT, Texas A&M
The Rams got Saffold back from injury, but they still need to finally solidify the Oline by drafting a legit left tackle. They could move Saffold back to right tackle (his more natural position) and have the "bookends" sorted. Luke Joekel isn't quite as good as last year's top OT prospect Matt Kalil, but he is still a top 10 talent, and has proven it this year for A&M despite a shaky start. Joekel and Jake Matthews have helped this team become one of the best in the SEC in its first year of competing in the toughest conference in CFB, and I think both players have bright futures in the NFL. In any case Sam Bradford could really do with all the pass pro he can get.
8. New York Jets: Barkevious Mingo, DE/OLB, LSU
The second LSU end should be gone pretty quickly following his buddy Montgomery, as he is also pretty talented. Mingo is not as strong and as big as Montgomery is, but he's still pretty good, and with some extra bulk, he too can become a force in the NFL. The Jets have yet again been lacking pass rush, and Rex Ryan (if he isn't fired) will want to get someone who can get to the QB on a consistent basis.
9. Philadelphia Eagles: DeMarcus Milliner, CB, Alabama
The Eagles may be losing both their starting CB's after this season. DRC is a FA and probably won't be back, while Asomugah is due 13 million dollars in 2013, and he really hasn't played well since signing to Philly anyway. Unless he takes a big pay cut, I doubt he'll be back with the Eagles at 32. DeMarcus Milliner is an elite talent at corner, and can step in and replace either one of those guys leaving Philadelphia next year.
10. Tennesee Titans: Manti Teo, ILB, Notre Dame
The Titans used to be renowned for being physical on D, particularly in the front 7, but this year they have been anything but. They are light weight and need help at LB. Manti Teo is an extremely good prospect, and just because he's a middle linebacker, that doesn't mean he won't be picked 10th overall next year. He alone can help transform a defense, he is that talented. The Titans need to rebuild their D to what it used to be, and can start by picking up a player who can be a Ray lewis type figure on their D for years to come, Manti Teo can be that guy for them.
11. Saint Louis Rams: Keenan Allen, WR, California
This is a bit of a reach, but the Rams need another receiver to help Bradford become what we all thought he could become in the league. You got him his legit blindside protector, now it's time to get someone who could potentially emerge into a go to guy for Bradford.
12. San Diego Chargers: Xavier Rhodes, CB, Florida state
This may seem to some to be a bit of a reach too, and I think the Chargers may opt to trade down on draft day, but don't let this take away anything from Rhodes. He's a big strong shut down corner, who can become just that at the next level. The Chargers need help at corner, my friend who is a long time Chargers fan is always reminding me that the Chargers need corners. Jammer is just too old and is wearing down, plus he and Cason are both FA's soon, so it makes sense to take Rhodes here.
13. Dallas Cowboys: Jonathan Hankins, NT/DT/DE, Ohio state
The Cowboys would have a dominating Dline if they had a legit nose tackle who can eat up blockers. This pick is on by far the BPA and a top ten talent, and would allow Ratcliff to move to DE, and then you'd have a Dline of Hatcher, Hankins, and Ratcliff, scary stuff for the NFC East offenses. Hankins is a notch slightly below Lotulelei, but he is still a very good prospect that you simply cannot pass up on at this conjuncture, especially if you run a 3-4 defense that needs a legit nose tackle.
14. Arizona Cardinals: Tyler Wilson, QB, Arkansas
Another slight reach and I think Arizona are another team who may be looking to trade down. However, the Cardinals are a team who need to start over with a new QB. Tyler Wilson has played well this year despite his team's failure and struggles. I think he could develop into a good NFL QB if he is put in the right system, and he will also be throwing the ball to Larry Fitzgerald, you can't go wrong with that... well that's unless your name is Kevin Kolb or John Skelton.
15. Detriot Lions: Chance Warmack, OG, Alabama
The Lions need to upgrade their Oline, and need a right guard in particular. Warmack is a physical specimen of a guard, and is a day one starter who could really help Detroit up front. Warmack, to me is an even better prospect than last year's David DeCastro, being much bigger, stronger and more athletic.
16. Minnesota Vikins: Justin Hunter, WR, Tennessee
Christian Ponder has been up and down this year, but he has clearly shown that he is developing into a franchise QB at times. Part of his problems is the age old issue, that he is simply not surrounded by enough talent at receiver. If you can get him a go to guy at receiver to go along with Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin, and that solid offensive line, Ponder will have a faster growing process.
Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
First round 17-32:
17. Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Jonathan Banks, CB, Mississippi State
Tampa Bay has an awful secondary in pass coverage; I cannot understate just how terrible they've been in that area. I am willing to bet that they would have had a lot more wins if it wasn't for their secondary, as they are pretty set everywhere else (apart from pass rush maybe). Mark Barron has turned out to be a very solid pick in this years draft, and has been even better than advertised coming out of Alabama last year. But he's a strong safety that is best used in run support and pushing up into the box, not dropping back into coverage trying to help everyone out. Banks has been having a great season for Mississippi state, and has good size. I think he can replace Aqib Talib, and then some, with of course not spending half his life in court as the added bonus upgrade to Talib.
18. Cincinatti Bengals: Bjoern Werner, DE/OLB, Florida State
The Bengals took a step back on D after a promising 2011 year. Part of this is simply the lack of edge rushers. Most of the sack production has been great scheme work by Zimmer. If Zimmer can get a legit pass rusher opposite Carlos Dunlap, this defense could step up and give the Ravens and the Steelers more of a challenge in the AFC North.
19. Miami Dolphins: Barrett Jones, OC/OG/OT, Alabama
The Dolphins have some good players on their Oline, it starts on the left side and finishes after Mike Pouncey. The right side of the Dolphin line has been atrocious this year. Jo Martin is only a rookie so he will naturally be going through some growing pains, but the Phins need an upgrade at right guard anyway. Jones offers more versatility than any Oline I've seen for a long time. He played guard at a high level in his first two years at Bama, then moved to left tackle in his junior year and did a great job there helping them win the BCS bowl, then this year he's been playing center, and has looked awesome there too. You put this guy next to Mike Pouncey at guard, while moving him around in case of any injuries, and then I think Tannehill has some serious upgraded pass pro.
20. Seattle Seahawks: Robert Woods, WR, USC
Seattle got an absolute steal in the 3rd round in Russell Wilson this year, who has been looking like he should have gone in the first round. In time, I think teams are going to start kicking themselves for passing up on him just because of his height (or lack of). Still, much like Ponder, Wilson hasnt got many guys to throw to. He has a decent Oline, an elite RB, and just one good receiver. Woods has been suffering from some kind of injury this year, and so his draft stock has plummeted slightly, but Pete Carroll wont want to miss an opportunity of getting Wilson a solid receiver to work with.
21. Indianapolis Colts: Jon Jenkins, NT, Georgia
I was really tempted to go with a pass rusher here, as Freeney probably wont be back next year with Indi. However, Indi need more help on the Dline, and Chuck will want to get a legit NT to build his 3-4 scheme around. 3-4 schemes don't work if you don't have a good, big, and strong NT who can wreak havoc on the field, and eat up blockers. All of those things I have seen Jenkins consistently do this year against elite competition in the SEC.
22. New Orleans Saints: Deion Jordan, OLB/DE Oregon
Deion Jordan is someone I hope Baltimore will look at; however, I think teams may buy more and more into him after the combine and everything else, and will take him before the Ravens are on the board. This guy is a freak of nature; he can line up at corner and cover receivers... at 6'7 and 245 lbs... Thats how freakish this guy is. His first step is quicker than any pass rusher I've seen for a long time, and he is strong in the tackle and can hit hard. His best fit is in a 3-4 scheme as an OLB most probably. However, he has the potential to put his hands in the dirt as a 4-3 end, which is what the Saints will want him to do. He just needs to add some weight and core strength so he can get off blocks better, as he likes to speed rush unblocked from a stand up position. I also think Deion could even play 4-3 OLB in a Von Miller type role. That may better suit him than playing DE. In any case, the Saints need help at both positions.
23. Pittsburgh Steelers: Kawann Short, DT/DE, Purdue
Cameron Hayward can't get on the field, and Ziggy Hood has been terrible as a starter so far. Both players are first round picks that the Steelers were hoping would become the future of their 3 man front, taking over from Kiesel and co. Kawann Short, IMO could be a good fit at 5 technique, and he is great at bringing pressure up the middle. The Steelers can do with all the pass rush they can get, as James Harrison is old, and so is that Steeler front 3.
24. New York Giants: Eric Fisher, OT, Central Michigan
The Giants need to get younger on the Oline, and they need an upgrade at RT. Eric Fisher can become a left tackle in the NFL, but William Beatty has played well there for the Giants this year, so the Giants could land themselves a very athletic OT who they can put on the right side. Locklear is average at best, and probably wont be back with the Giants next year, and Coughlin isn't the biggest fan of him anyway. The Giants cannot afford to go in with David Diehl either as he is just simply awful.
25. Green Bay Packers: Joseph Randle, RB, Oklahoma state
This pick would raise a few eye brows I'm sure, however the Packers have been missing a legit RB since Ryan Grant went down injured after the 09 season. The GB offense is obviously really explosive everywhere, but they can add a new element to their offense with someone who IMO is by far the most explosive back in this draft. Randle is averaging something like 7 odd yards per carry right now. Cedric Benson is good, but he is getting old, and is better suited to be a power runner and nothing else. Joseph Randle could split carries with Benson to begin with, and would keep defenses guessing more, as GB are simply too one dimensional right now in the passing game. They need more of a running presence to keep defences more honest.
26. New England Patriots: Sheldon Richardson, DT/DE, Missouri
Vince Wilfolk has taken a step back this year as he continues to age, and it's time to get him some help in the twilight of his career. Sheldon Brown is very athletic and is a good inside blitzer. The Patriots need help on their Dline, and need more push from them, and Brown could certainly help with that.
27. Baltimore Ravens: CJ Moseley, ILB/OLB, Alabama
I am officially sold on CJ Moseley. He is exactly what Baltimore need right now. He flies around the field like a mad man, he is literally making plays everywhere around the field. He can do it all, drop back into coverage, stuff the run, and can bring inside blitz pressure. He has that side-line to side-line speed, and could help Baltimore get back to what they used to be on defense. Ray Lewis could be retiring next year in the wake of his injury, and the Ravens will need to get someone next to the emerging Dannell Elerbe, as Jameel McClain is simply not good enough as a starting ILB on a defense like this.
28. Chicago Bears: Jake Matthews, OT/OG, Texas A&M
Jake Matthews could play everywhere apart from center. The Bears need help everywhere on their Oline, and they did nothing to address it last year. I think it's time Chicago does something about it. I believe Matthews could potentially become a left tackle in the NFL, but in the meantime the Bears could use him at RT or even inside at guard, while they figure out what they want to do with Jemarcuss Webb, who continues to prove that he may not even be a serviceable left tackle.
29. Houston Texans: Terrance Williams, WR, Baylor
The Texans are still in need of a number 2 receiver, and to make matters worse, Andre Johnson is appearing to decline. The Texans will need to do something to address their receiving core this offseason to get the best out of the contract they recently gave Matt Shaubb.
30. San Francisco 49ers: Kenny Vaccaro, S, Texas
Kenny Vaccaro can address what could be a gigantic need for the 9ers this offseason. Donte Whitner hasn't been good this year, while Goldson is a free agent again in 2013 and the 9ers don't appear to want to give him a long term deal.
31. Denver Broncos: Sylvester Williams, DT, North Carolina
The Broncos have been horrid at times up front (see Patriots game). They need to get some help on the line if they want to stick with a 4-3 defense.
32. Atlanta Falcons: Tyer Eifert, TE, Notre Dame
Is Tony Gonzales retiring after this year? I'm not sure if he is or not, but the Falcons need to get a suitable replacement for the future HOFer. This offense is really scary as it is with Julio Jones and Roddy White; now picture them with a guy who is the closest thing to Rob Grontkowski coming out of college, yikes!
Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
Dickson, who I felt could have been traded (for picks) going into day 2 of the 2012 draft, has questionable future value IMO. His blocking hasn't improved at all, and I don't like his low "catch percentage" (receptions / targets). I'm struggling to see how he makes our offense better now and going forward.
Ertz and ND's Eifert will be the 1st and 2nd TEs taken (choose whichever order you like). Ertz has been hard to evaluate b/c Stanford's QBs have serious accuracy problems. I mean the number of times the 6'6" Ertz has had to go to the ground to make a catch is stunning...so seeing him make a [hands] catch in stride is rare. I do know that he's a bit slow and routinely leans into his routes. It's a plus that he lines up wide, in the wide slot, in the tight slot, and on the LOS. However, I don't see a guy who likes to block even though he's bigger than just about anyone that he attempts to block. Could he be a very good RZ target? Yes, but I don't see a complete TE ready to produce as a rookie, thus worth burning a 1st rounder on.
Looking at TEs in general, I'm trying to find conviction in the idea of drafting Florida's Jordan Reed and putting him in the slot. He looks like a 3rd-4th round value guy, but there are a couple of caveats...he's also been the victim of poor QB play, and I can't find enough video to evaluate his route running. Reed does appear to like to block, and is much more physical at the POA than just about any "pass-catching" TE I've seen in awhile. Not saying he's great at it, but he is more aggressive than the norm and at least locks up his guy, or drives him out of the play. Also at 6'3" 240-245, he looks fairly "pads-fast". Of course, he'll probably run a high 4.48-4.52 at the Combine, kill the drills, and "earn" 2nd round value from some jerk GM, and will be long gone by pick #86, #96 or whatever.

Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
I actually think that Pitta can be a mainstay here. However, last year, he benefited from teams focusing in on Dickson and admitted as much. Now, with Dickson struggling, teams can focus on Pitta, unless the WRs are getting free. Pitta has his best games with the WRs set the tone.
Dickson's presence was supposed to set up mismatches for him and give them 2-TE options. Neither has truly materialized."Please take with you this final sword, The Excellector. I am praying that your journey will be guided by the light", Leon Shore

Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
The Ravens don't have a TE that can block; Bajema can't block either. I wouldn't be surprised if they did look into that, but you want dynamic players at the position these days don't you?
I like Ertz, probably a second rounder though?

Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the DefenseAlthough Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.
Re: Way Too Early 2013 Draft/FA Thread: Fixing the Defense
Yeah, tbh I didn't manage to see many bama games this year so I didn't understand all the fuss about him, but after going through some of their games, I really do get the fuss now. :)

Coaching is a practice distinct from managing, training and mentoring. A coach helps to identify the skills and capabilities within the person to enable them to use those skills to the best of their ability. The University of St. Thomas Center for Business Ethics launched The CBE Emerging Leader Coaching Scholarship Program, or ELCSP, this year. Dr. Sue Brown, executive coach at S.J. Brown and Associates, worked with four Master of Business Administration students for the academic year.
Drew Berg, Jamie Hesterberg, Jeff Kusi-Mensah and Daniel Rodriguez were selected as recipients of this scholarship to receive four one-on-one career/leadership development coaching sessions .The students engage in one-on-one coaching with Dr. Brown to develop stronger skill bases more quickly than if attending training or education programs. By offering an objective environment and a structured focus tailored to their goals, the coaching process gives them a specific plan of action and skill-building strategies. Dr. Michele Simms, as director of the Center for Business Ethics, seeks ways to invest in the future by developing today's student leaders.
"The goal of the ELCSP is to recognize those students who show promise as emerging leaders and provide them with professional coaching to help achieve their potential," she said. "We have four outstanding MBA students this year who will not only benefit from the coaching but will remain excellent ambassadors for our program. We are fortunate to have them in our program." Brown, with extensive coaching experience, said the emphasis is to have student's consider: "'How can the knowledge, skills and experiences of the MBA program be used to launch or enhance my business work,'" Brown said. "Each coaching engagement is an individual and private discussion with the student, because each student has had a slightly different education experience and interest, and is at a different place in his/her work or career."
Meet the scholarship winners. Drew Berg is concentrating in finance. He plans to continue to work at Enbridge Energy Company, Inc. and build on what he learned at UST with the ultimate goal of being in an executive position in the Energy Industry.
"After only two meetings with Ms. Brown my experience has been extremely beneficial," he said. "She focuses on topics that will help you land the career you desire or will help you advance in your current organization. There is no monetary value you can put on this experience, and I greatly appreciate this opportunity." Jamie Hesterberg, a full-time MBA student and previously a graduate assistant in operations management and supply chain, worked on research for an article on planning and executing manufacturing facilities for a global supply chain. With a concentration in marketing, Hesterberg will reenter the workforce and pursue a role that incorporates her education and interests.
"Both finance and oil and gas are two areas I am considering," she said. "Coaching has helped me identify careers that are personally and intellectually fulfilling. It has helped me learn to capitalize on my strengths and form strategies to overcome and compensate for my weaknesses in a professional setting. The coaching has been very meaningful in helping me to slow down and carefully evaluate the decisions I'm making and how they will impact my future, both professionally and personally." Jeff Kusi-Mensah, is obtaining an international business concentration and employed at CVS Caremark.He is developing a business enterprise group to serve small businesses in event planning, a clothing line and marketing management.
"I have already made small strides. It is time to increase the scale and step out on faith in order to turn hobbies into a business enterprise and lifestyle changes," Kusi-Mensah said. Daniel Rodriguez, who works at Cintas Fire Protection and is concentrating on finance, will pursue his goal of becoming a CEO of a major corporation. He said the sessions have helped him develop a plan to reach that goal.
"I have already utilized the coaching sessions to help me transition my leadership style through two promotions," he said. "I plan to continue the focus on self-awareness and emotional intelligence so as to become the leader of choice for the next regional business director position."
He said each coaching session is a crucial conversation that serves as a model for the type of conversations he should have with his partners.
"Prior to any conversation at work I now ask myself, 'What do I really want for myself?,' 'What do I really want for others?,'" and "What do I really want for the relationship?" This habit has significantly improved my leadership effectiveness, especially now that I am overseeing an acquisition."
All MBA/MSA students are welcome to apply to the ELSCP. The application deadline is May 15. For more information, contact Simms at email@example.com or call 713-942-5918.

Green Bay Hosts Central Michigan in Home Opener Saturday at 2 p.m.
By: Jill Wunrow ( @JillWunrow)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) - The Green Bay (1-0) women's basketball team looks to extend its home opening winning streak to 13 games Saturday, Nov. 17 as it hosts Central Michigan (1-1) at 2 p.m. at the Kress Events Center.
Saturday marks the sixth meeting in the series between Green Bay and Central Michigan and the first in 19 seasons. CMU owns the overall series record, 4-1, with Green Bay's lone win over the Chippewas coming during the last meeting (63-34) Dec. 10, 1993.
Green Bay is currently on an eight-game regular season winning streak after edging Northern Iowa 54-53 Nov. 10 in its regular season opener. Neither team led by more than four points in the final 12:08 of the contest as the Phoenix defense prevailed in the final seconds for the win over the Panthers. Senior Sarah Eichler (Grafton, Wis.) tied a game-high 17 points to lead the Phoenix while classmates Adrian Ritchie (De Pere, Wis.) and Stephanie Sension (Hopkins, Minn.) added 16 and 13 points respectively.
Central Michigan sophomore Jessica Green has led the Chippewas in its first two contests averaging 20 points, six rebounds and three steals to open the season. For her efforts, Green was named the Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week. CMU opened its season with a 73-58 win over Bradley before falling 82-72 at Northwestern. Saturday's game against Green Bay will be the third consecutive road trip for the Chippewas.
BANNERS AND BLUE DOTS: Prior to tip off of Saturday's game, Green Bay will unveil its NCAA Tournament and Horizon League championship banners commemorating the team's success in the 2011-12 season.
MEMORABLE MARK: Senior Lydia Bauer (Lake Zurich, Ill.) will be making her 100th appearance in a Phoenix uniform Saturday, the second most appearances in a game among players on the current roster. Eicher Has played in 102 games for the Phoenix. Borseth will be leading Green Bay in a contest for the 280th time in his career.
KOZY AT THE KRESS: Green Bay's Kress Events Center, which celebrated its fifth anniversary of Green Bay women's basketball Saturday, Nov. 3, is considered one of the toughest arenas to play in. With its 79-6 (.929) overall record at the Kress Center, Green Bay ranks third in the statistic behind Tennessee's Thompson-Boling Arena (353-23, .939) and Connecticut's Gampel Pavilion (277-18, .938).
MICHIGAN PARALLELS: Both Green Bay head coach Kevin Borseth and Central Michigan coach Sue Guevara have both coached at Michigan throughout their careers. Guevara led the Wolverines to a 123-82 record from 1996-2003 while Borseth coached Michigan to an 87-73 record from 2007-2012 before returning to the Phoenix this season for his second tenure.
POSTSEASON SUCCESS: Both teams appeared in postseason play during the 2011-12 season. Green Bay advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament after capturing its 13th Horizon League Tournament Championship while Central Michigan earned a spot in the WNIT after its appearance in the MAC Tournament Championship game.
STARTING SENSION: With Green Bay returning four of its five starters this season, Sension fill the fifth spot for the Phoenix in the starting line-up. Sension had an impressive performance in her starting debut at UNI Nov. 10 when she scored eight of her first-half-high 12 points in the final 6:07 of the half, including four points in the final 49 seconds. Sension played a career-high 33 minutes in the season opener, scoring 13 points while grabbing six rebounds, one shy of tying her career high.

Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez team up for a poor imitation of the "Fast & Furious" franchise.
So we begin and end the summer of 2013 with car chasers. "Fast and Furious Six" kicked off the Memorial Day weekend and we close out the summer with "Getway" for Labor Day weekend. "FF6" was a pleasant surprise. The best I can say about "Getaway" is it was intense. But boringly so. It was just one long car chase. Nothing more. It made 97 minutes feel twice as longs.
Ethan Hawke plays a burned out ex-race car driver who finds himself in a do-or-die when his beloved wife is kidnapped. His only hope to keep her alive is to follow every order of a mystery heavily-accented voice on the other end of the cellphone. Jon Voight literally calls it in. So where does Selena Gomez come in? It turns out it's her stolen car used for all the action.
This is just one long monotonous loop. It's draw which is worse: "Getaway" or Ethan Hawke's "Total Recall" remake last year. Ethan Hawke did have one tremendous film over the last year: "Before Midnight" was superb. But this weekend, do what the title of Hawke's latest says: GETAWAY.

Phoenix Golf Teams Set for Horizon League Championships
By: Andrew Gavin (@GBGavin)
GREEN BAY, Wis. (GreenBayPhoenix.com) – The Green Bay men's and women's golf teams open play in the 2013 Horizon League Championships on Friday morning, with both Phoenix squads looking to build off strong performances. The event will be held from Friday-Sunday at Mission Inn Resort & Club in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fla.
The men's 54-hole tournament will be held at the El Campeon Course, a par-72, 6,770-yard track which has hosted the tournament each of the past two seasons. The women's tournament, also a 54-hole event with 18 holes played each day, has moved to the par-72, 5,817-yard Las Colinas Course.
Live scoring will be available through Golfstat for both tournaments. Follow the men's action and the women's action beginning with 7:30 a.m. tee times for each round.
On the men's side, Green Bay opens the Horizon League Championship after winning the weather-shortened Butler Spring Invite in its last outing. Sophomore Tom Boockmeier (Green Bay, Wis.) won the individual title with a 1-under par 71.
Green Bay finished in second place in the 2012 Horizon League Championships, and seniors Chad Ebert (Kenosha, Wis.) and Cam Fuller (Sturgeon Bay, Wis.) have especially fond memories of the course. Ebert won the individual title at the 2012 championship, finishing the 54 holes at 6-over par and two shots clear of a tie for second place which included Fuller.
Joining Ebert, Fuller and Boockmeier on the Phoenix squad will be freshman Gene Kiela (Plymouth, Wis.) and junior Dan Ozga (Edgerton, Wis.). Ozga and Boockmeier lead the squad with a scoring average of 76.3 while Kiela sports an average of 76.7.
The Phoenix women finished in second place in its last outing, competing at the Loyola Invite. Freshman Katie Pokrandt (Eau Claire, Wis.), who on Thursday was named the Horizon League Newcomer of the Year, led Green Bay in third place. Pokrandt leads the Phoenix with a scoring average of 82.1 and has a season-best round of 75 and four top-10s.
Junior Grace Abitz (Appleton, Wis.) has posted four top-10 finishes in just six events this season and sports a scoring average of 83.2. Freshmen Sammi Grunder (Pardeeville, Wis.) and Steph Laude (Slinger, Wis.) and senior Christina De Boer (Onalaska, Wis.) will round out the five participants for Green Bay this weekend. The Phoenix finished sixth at the 2012 Horizon League Championships.
