Houston at a Glance
Houston is truly a global city. The economy in Houston is very diversified across many industries including energy, transportation, manufacturing, and aeronautics. Houston also has leading health care sectors and building oilfield equipment. In fact, only New York City is the only city with more Fortune 500 headquarters. The Port of Houston ranks first in the United States in international waterborne tonnage handled and second in total cargo tonnage handled. It is not only the economy that is diverse in Houston, but the population as well. Houstonians comprise many different ethnic and religious backgrounds and a substantial community of international people. It is home to many cultural institutions as well, attracting more than seven million visitors a year to the Museum District. The visual and performing arts scene, anchored in the Theatre District is also quite strong.

The New Pioneer Co-op in Iowa City plans to relocate in Downtown Iowa City or open a second location in Iowa City.

Money or Life ??
From childhood it is said too have life you have to earn money but while earning all these we always think we have money but we can enjoy the life why it is so why people make them so busy in earning money so that they can enjoy their life is it necessary to focus that much on money and dont able to get a bit of enjoyment from the life ???
Topics: Dreams and reality change thinking life money
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Oct 7 2012: I think:
(1) Money is for life.
(2) Life is for keeping our DNA alive.
(3) Enjoying life (VALID happiness) consists of many "a-step-better"s for keeping DNA alive rather than money.
"VALID happiness is the short time feeling of things being a-step-better for keeping one's own DNA alive."
Oct 8 2012: valid reason may be short time but our life is also short to enjoy the life we should be able to take out few time from our busy scheduled ..... if we will not enjoy our life then how can you expect that our upcoming generation will enjoy the life and they will not bother about money ......
if the future come the usage of money will increase and the future generation guys will more focus on the money not in the life
its my thought but i respect you views
and thanks for you precious views on this

Joshua Ortiz knows what it's like to be bullied.
"I used to get picked on because I didn't know what clothes to wear and I wore different clothes," said the Coconut Grove Elementary fourth grader.
So when the Anti-Defamation League brought its No Place For Hate anti-bullying campaign to his school recently, training teachers and students on how to become allies to foster harmony and tolerance in schools, he knew exactly what to do.
"Let the aggressor know it's not OK to act that way," he said.
Nearly 30 years ago, the ADL created its A World of Difference Institute to provide educational programs and resources to combat intolerance and bullying, which now includes the No Place For Hate campaign launched in 2001. Four years ago, schools in Miami-Dade County began participating, with students and teachers tailoring programs for their schools, said ADL Director of Education Lily Medina.
"We had one school that had an issue with the Haitian and Jamaican students. So we can tailor it for their needs," she said.
Throughout the year, the ADL stays in touch with the school's counselor to offer guidance. And at the end of the year, the ADL returns to judge their progress and determine whether the schools can be certified as a No Place For Hate school.
"Some schools like Palmetto Elementary, which is in its third year, do amazing things," she said. "They've really integrated it into their subject areas so it's not just an add-on. It's part of their everyday school life."
Last year, Medina said 50 schools participated and all 50 received the designation.
Over the years, research shows bullying has become an increasing problem. In 2009, one in five students reported being bullied at school. And for kids between 8 and 15, it ranks as a bigger problem than drugs, sex or racism, according to a Kaiser Family Foundation study.
Cyber-bullying is worse: more than 40 percent of kids say they've been bullied online, but nearly 60 percent said they never reported it.
And for every instance of playground bullying, the National Association of African American Studies reports that an adult intervenes only 4 percent of the time. A peer, 11 percent. Far more often — 85 percent of the time — no one tries to stop the bullying.
The ADL, Medina explained, created its programs to be largely driven by students, but the administration really determines whether it succeeds.
"That's when you can really change a school's culture and you can walk down a hallway and really feel a sense of respect," she said.
At Coconut Grove Elementary, teachers picked students to become leaders, who then attended training classes led by Bennie Barnes, an ADL facilitator. After explaining the meaning of bullying, as well as the difference between being an ally, a bystander, an aggressor or a target, Barnes and Tali Ben-David Connell, another facilitator, broke about 30 students into five groups, acted out a bullying scenario, and asked the kids to come up with strategies for handling the situation.
"So like dude, I say let's go tell on him because he's doing this," 9-year-old Hans Korpela suggested to Joshua, Willie Jones and Erik Gonzalez, also 9. As the group of fourth-graders debated what action to take, Korpela explained exactly how useful tolerance can be.
"Like Willie and I and this one," he said pointing to Erik, "we used to be enemies and now we're friends."
"It's hard to believe," Joshua agreed.
Each year, the ADL hosts about 115 programs throughout Southeast Florida, Medina said. But Miami-Dade County has done the best job at incorporating the No Place For Hate program into schools, she said.
Schools usually pick programs based on grades, with elementary schools typically focusing on intervention and becoming allies; middle schools concentrating on cyber bullying and high schools tailoring instruction to address their needs.
At Coconut Grove Elementary, the students were initially sheepish about what they'd do. But with some urging, they grew louder and more confident.
"We're asking you to speak up because in a real situation, you have to act," Connell told the students. "You're going to have to act. You're going to really do it."

People will announce its Sexiest Man Alive for 2012 this week, forcing last year's winner, Bradley Cooper, to pass his crown of sexiness on to some other well-deserving bastion of male hotness. The website Gossip Cop recently reported that the glossy magazine has chosen Channing Tatum to serve in this crucial role. Because this is a matter of national security and newsstand sales, People has not confirmed that report. That means all we can do is speculate about who may soon be deemed the most alluring guy on the planet.
Look, the presidential election is over, so we have to speculate about something. Here are five contenders for the title:

Intel partners with Samsung to halve the price of 4K monitors, but it's useless without support from GPU vendors and Microsoft June 5, 2014 at 7:32 am
Intel wants to push Samsung and other vendors to dramatically cut the price of 4K panels and AIOs, but the company is targeting the wrong screen size for the effort. 24-inch panels are simply too small for 4x the resolution — and if you have to scale software upwards by 2-4x, you lose the advantages of the effect.
Nvidia's Titan Z arrives: Titanic compute, but at $3000 the AMD's R9 295X2 is a better choice May 29, 2014 at 7:29 am
Nvidia's new Titan Z has launched with dual GPUs and 12 GB of RAM — but will consumers or enterprise buy a $3000 GPU?
Samsung launches 28-inch 4K billion-color UD590 monitor for just $700 March 31, 2014 at 11:04 am
Time to get that second graphics cards, guys: Samsung has announced that its 28-inch 4K UD590 monitor will soon be available in the US for the paltry sum of $700. The UD590 packs a 28-inch 3840×2160 TN panel (157 PPI), capable of displaying 10-bit color (1 billion colors) at 60Hz with 1ms GTG response time. Priced at $700, this is probably your best bet if you want to try your hand at 4K gaming — or, if you're a creative of some kind, the idea of 10-bit color on a 4K display should be very, very alluring.
PS4 firmware updates finally quell tyranny of the DualShock 4 light bar, disable HDCP March 21, 2014 at 3:11 pm
Not only did Sony announce its new virtual reality headset Project Morpheus this week, but it also unveiled a number of big changes headed for the PS4 later this year. From dimming the DualShock 4′s light bar to removing always-on HDCP, these updates are going to make the PS4 better than ever, and answer some of the loudest criticisms from the gaming community.
4K Netflix launches next month: Is 2014 the year that 4K finally reaches mass market? December 19, 2013 at 8:21 am
Netflix has announced that it will begin streaming Ultra HD 4K video in 2014, with season two of Netflix's own House of Cards (February 14) being the first and only show (for now) that will be available in 4K quality. With Netflix's huge presence in streaming video (and increasingly production), combined with news that Amazon Studios intends to shoot all of its original shows in in 4K, YouTube's support of 4K, and the rapid march towards affordable 4K TVs, it's now not a case of if 4K will go mainstream — it's just a question of when.
More money than sense: Playing the PS4 on the Xbox One November 20, 2013 at 3:23 pm
One of the defining features of the Xbox One is that it has an HDMI input socket, allowing you to plug a wide range of media devices into the console. The intended purpose of this HDMI socket is to allow you to watch TV and play games side-by-side on the same screen — but in practice, you can plug just about anything into the Xbox One's HDMI socket, including the PS4. And so that's what we did — on a 65-inch 4K television no less.
Microsoft confirms that PS4, Wii U will work with Xbox One HDMI passthrough November 8, 2013 at 2:56 pm
When Microsoft first announced that the Xbox One will feature HDMI input and output, one question jumped to mind: Can you run a PS4 through the Xbox One? Microsoft mostly kept its responses to that question vague, but now it seems like it's willing to open up. Not only will the Xbox One work with cable boxes and Xbox 360 signals over HDMI, but any HDMI-compliant device should work just fine out of the box.
HDMI 2.0 released: 18Gbps of bandwidth allowing for 4K @ 60 fps, 32 audio channels September 4, 2013 at 7:52 am
Kicking off the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin, the HDMI Forum has released HDMI 2.0. HDMI 2.0 introduces support for 4K (2160p) at 50 and 60 FPS, 3D playback at 4K resolution, up to 32 audio channels (up from a paltry eight), and some interesting features such as "dynamic auto lip-sync" and the ability to deliver dual video streams to multiple users on the same screen. The max throughput of HDMI 2.0 is a beefy 18Gbps (up from 10Gbps), and you'll be glad to hear that your stupidly expensive HDMI cable will continue to work with the new spec.
Dell's Project Ophelia is a $100 Android PC that plugs into any HDMI TV or monitor July 30, 2013 at 2:50 pm
Thanks in large part to the Raspberry Pi, cheap little computers continue to be all the rage. Most of the time, though, these little computers aren't products of the big name hardware manufacturers. Dell has apparently taken note of the tiny computer market, and has responded with the oft-rumored Project Ophelia, a $100 Android-powered USB stick PC that plugs into any monitor's HDMI slot.
Google Chromecast: Stream Netflix, music, and websites to your TV for just $35 July 24, 2013 at 2:00 pm
Google has unveiled Chromecast, a 2-inch HDMI dongle that allows you to stream videos, music, and photos to your TV. All you have to do is plug the Chromecast into your TV, plug in a USB power cable, and then you can "cast" content from your smartphone, tablet, laptop, or PC to your TV. The best bit, though, is the cost: Just $35 (yes, it's only available in the US for now), and you get three months Netflix free, too. In one fell swoop, Google has suddenly become relevant in the living room.

IMECs Marinissen discusses 3DIC wafer testing: A Closer Look
In the pre conference symposium at the recent RTI sponsored 3D Architectures for Semiconductor Integration and Packaging ( 3D ASIP) conference Erik Jan Marinissen of IMEC gave an in depth look at the state of 3D stack testing . i-Micronews felt it was worth a closer look.
The 3 main questions he asked and then answered were:
The degree of testing has to be looked at as a cost/benefit tradeoff which will look at the yield and the % of the bad product that the testing could have detected.
Fine Pitch uBump Probing
Testing of IMEC standard structures involves 15 um bumps on 40 um pitch and bottom bumps are 25 um on 50 um pitch.
IMEC top and bottom pad dimensions
KGD testing is usually done on dicing frames, but for thinned wafers most probers cannot handle the sagging. Marinissen reveals that TEL now offers automated handling and probing of 300 mm wafers on dicing frames.
Design for test (DfT) is used for prebond, post bond and post packaging testing.
Design for test
As an example, Marinissen shows the results of IMEC consortium partner TSMC's testing of logic + memory structures.

The Story of "First Time Buying" Idea for Book-Sharing Places
LJ executive editor Josh Hadro also took a crack at explaining First Sale in 1000 of the most commonly used words, but decided to go with a little bit of a more narrative treatment:
The Book-Sharing Places (which for sure have more than just books and have lots of other great things, though today we will call them Book-Places for short) for a long time have spent money on books and then shared those books all around to let other people work to make the world better at thinking and deciding on things. This sharing was an okay thing to do, because there are Important Words That Everyone Follows or Else that say it is okay.
But some people a little while ago said the Important Words (that everyone follows or else) that make the Book-Places able to share the books are not right. They said that if the books are made Over There instead of here, giving money for books does not mean what we think it means — it could mean that Book-Sharing Places can't share the books the same way. Instead, they might have to pay more, or buy only books that are made right here, which is not very many books at all.
Everyone who thinks this is important went and told The People Who Pick the Important Words how they were feeling. The People Who Pick the Important Words listened a lot to everyone, and have been reading and thinking deep thoughts.
Soon, The People Who Pick the Important Words will decide who was right. The good news would be if the Book-Sharing Places could keep doing the sharing that they are good at doing.
The not-so-good news would be if book-sharing ideas get very hard to understand, and there are no clear new Important Words.

1997 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse
Marijuana Use, by Age Group, Population Density, and Region (Tables 3.1 to 3.3)
Differential patterns of marijuana use by geographic region also were small. In general, some of the highest rates of use were reported by residents of the West, although not all differences between regions reached statistical significance. For the total sample, past year and past month use were more likely among those in the West than those in the South and the Northeast, and among those in the North Central region than those in the Northeast. The pattern of higher rates of use in the West and North Central regions was generally true within most age groups.

Perspectives: Process Puzzler
A Troubled Process for Producing Surfactant Requires Considerable Change
Readers help sort out a sulfonation in shambles.
We make an anionic surfactant by reacting oleum (SO3 in H2SO4) with alkyl benzene (C12H25C6H5) in a continuous stirred-tank reactor (CSTR); see Figure 1. The product from our spray dryer is 85% pure, with the remainder being sodium sulfate and water. Ever since we started up this process a year ago, we've had problems: 1) a residue in the product layer in our separator; 2) a heavy black residue in the spent acid at the bottom of the separator — the company that regenerates our H2SO4 has threatened not to take our waste if we don't clean it up; 3) our titration analyzers downstream of the reactor and digester sometimes have fouled tubing — a sample pump failed a few weeks ago because a suction strainer plugged; and 4) startup and shutdown are rough — we can't turn down the capacity of the sulfonator cooler effectively and the smaller jacket control valve can't handle the mid-range cooling requirements. We see a lot of what appears to be burnt product during these periods. Recently, our Coriolis meter, which measures alkyl benzene, corroded out. What can we do to address these problems?
The problem likely arises from the oleum feed rate being too high relative to the alkyl benzene feed rate causing charring of the alkyl benzene. Very tight molar ratio control and temperature control are necessary to minimize the charring — the blackish material seen in the spent sulfuric acid. Slowing down the oleum feed rate and increasing the residence time in the CSTRs is a potential solution. Additionally, make sure the oleum and alkyl benzene feed control systems are accurately measuring mass flow rates.
Wyatt Winkenwerder, senior research engineer
Akzo Nobel, Brewster, N.Y.
Alkyl benzene sulfonation is an exothermic reaction. If the exotherm and stoichiometry are not controlled, the reaction will produce undesirable products that will create the described problems. Process stoichiometry, operating parameters and the chemistry must be precisely controlled. Sufficient residence time must be provided to ensure the desired conversion. Also, I would use a pump for oleum. Relative flow control is important (see Figure 2); many options are available. The processor should select the one that would prevent back flow suggested by corrosion of the Coriolis meter.
Because this is a continuous process, I strongly recommend using a gravity-based separator that will separate two layers and eliminate the use of two pumps: refer to McCabe and Smith's "Unit Operations of Chemical Engineering," McGraw-Hill, 2nd ed., pp. 40–41. The current organic/aqueous separation is fighting two opposing controllers that complicate processing. The addition of water may be necessary to change the densities and facilitate the separation. The existing system can be reconfigured to create a simpler process that will eliminate black residue that is formed due to over-sulfonation of alkyl benzenes.
Girish Malhotra, president
EPCOT International, Pepper Pike, Ohio
Maybe it's in the water or the materials of construction, i.e., piping, tubing or valves.
Frank Fox Jr., retired,
Houston, Texas
I suggest the following actions:
1. Aerate the separator/settler sump to remove more of the product.
2. Increase the brine concentration to provide more cooling to the sulfonator, to avoid the over-heating that causes formation of black reside.
3. Replace the Coriolis meter with one using sulfuric-acid-resistant tubing.
4. Install an automatic flushing system for the titration analyzer loop. This will prevent suction strainer plugging.
Donald Phillips, manager
Phillips Engineering, Melbourne, Fla.
There are three distinct problems, in order of importance: 1) poor process control; 2) poor separation before neutralization, and 3) backflow from more resistant pipe to less resistant pipe (Figure 3).
Process control must operate effectively during all phases of plant operation. Too often, controls run only smoothly near the nominal capacity. The smaller jacket temperature control valve (TV) can't provide sufficient cooling during either startup or shutdown. The larger reactor chiller TV provides too much cooling during these periods. The obvious solution is a larger jacket TV and increased velocity through the reactor jacket, assuming the pressure drop is not a problem — I've used an inline booster pump to make up for added pressure-drop. Another problem with the reactor heat transfer is the agitation. Seldom is a single impeller enough for good mixing, let alone good heat transfer. More impellers are needed — this may require a new agitator. One way to reduce the load on the jacket TV would be to add a cooled-jacket static mixer; the reactor then becomes a second digester. This may not be enough.
If energy balance calculations show additional changes are needed, it may be necessary to add a smaller TV for split-range control of the reactor chiller temperature during the transition periods between steady operation and shutdown.
A threat from your regeneration service company should not be taken lightly. One word from them and you're out of business. I see filters in your future. You can approach the spent-acid-contamination problem in two ways: a side-stream filtration for a modest problem or full-stream filtration. A hot water wash prior to filtration could help improve separation by avoiding gelling in the acid.
Perform laboratory tests to identify the maximum pore size that will produce clear acid in combination with the optimum pre-treatment. Then, work backward to satisfy the service company, balancing economics and quality.
Cleaning up the product may be easy once the source of trouble is identified. The entire process should be shut down and flushed of contaminants. Pay attention to the heat exchangers, especially as they may have significant fouling that has gone undetected. After the temperature control problem is ameliorated, the contaminant in the solid should go away. If not, you may want to take samples from the separator, adding filtration prior to neutralization when a slurry is produced, and a wash-centrifuge step prior to the spray dryer.
There is no reasonable explanation for the corrosion failure of the Coriolis meter. Check valves leak, and if corroded badly, springs fail to close and acid flows back into the line supplying alkyl benzene. Install a backflow preventer to avoid liquid backflow of the H2SO4. It's doubtful that the acid vapor can be so easily contained. The only idea that comes to mind is a cold water wash followed by decanting; the acid vapor would go into the water but some trace alkyl benzene will be lost.
You will want to chase the corrosion backward to the piston pump. These pumps are expensive to replace and long on delivery. In the end, it may be much easier to upgrade the pipe specification if the corrosion problem continues.
Dirk Willard, consultant
Wooster, Ohio
My refinery is grappling with how to set up the coolers for reducing oil sample temperatures for safe handling. These coolers usually consist of a U-tube inside a water jacket. The tubing is rated for 2,000 psig at 600°F; the shell maximum allowable working pressure is 75 psig at 600°F. We're working with heavy gas oil from a coker at 400°F. An alternative that's been suggested is to use a tube inside a tube: ¼-in. tubing for the oil within 1-in.tubing for the cooling-tower water. The project engineer wants hydrostatic pressure relief valves (PSVs) installed for blocked-in water. The maintenance engineer is pushing for the tube-in-tube approach because he insists it won't need a PSV; he claims it is protected under ASME code because the cooler diameter is less than 6-inch. Who's right? How should we proceed?

Organic Multigrain Cereal
Organic Breakfast Grains
stone ground
Great River Organic Milling uses old fashioned stone wheels to grind their grains. Conventional millers today use steel grinding mills, and they "temper" grain before grinding it by soaking the grain in water so they can "pull" the bran layer apart and take out the germ and endosperm. This produces a white flour that has a long shelf life. Great River Organic Milling, on the other hand, is one of the few granite stone millers left in America. They use a slower process with less heat involved, and nothing is removed from the grain. All the nutritional components of the grain go back into the bag. These breakfast mixes are ground to order in Wisconsin especially for Tropical Traditions.
Buckwheat Buttermilk Pancake Mix
To Prepare: for six four-inch pancakes, add one beaten egg to 3/4 cup water. Pour into 1 cup of mix; stir lightly. Cook on a hot, lightly greased griddle.
Multi-Grain Hot Cereal
To Prepare: (1-2 servings) Sprinkle 1/2 cup of cereal into 1 1/2 cups boiling water. Stir as it returns to a boil. Cover and simmer 7-10 minutes.
Oats provide high quality, well-balanced protein. Thick Rolled Oats and other whole grain oats are a good source of soluble fiber. Tropical Traditions Thick Rolled Oats are most commonly used for oatmeal, and cook in about 15 minutes. Thick Rolled Oats can also be used in granola and of course oatmeal cookies.

Nearly 70 percent of India's population lives on less than $2 (around 120 rupees) a day, according to World Bank data. The country, the world's second-largest producer of wheat and rice after China, is also home to a quarter of the world's hungry.
Helping the poor has always been on the ruling government's agenda since independence. India, which currently spends 900 billion rupees on giving the poor access to cheap food, hopes to increase it to 1.3 trillion rupees ($22 billion) and widen its scope with an ambitious food security programme launched this month.
The problem is many of the intended beneficiaries don't realize they're missing out on existing schemes.
In 2005, a study found that families living below the poverty line in India did not receive more than half of the grains earmarked for the poor due to identification errors and unethical practices. In 2011, the economic survey said leakages in the system are "far too high".
While the new food security bill aims to bring cheaper food to millions more, there are various welfare schemes which already offer subsidized food to Indians. But one such scheme is at the centre of a storm after 23 children died after having their mid-day meal at a Bihar school.

Arabia Mountain, a 4-year-old school in DeKalb County, has hired Stanley Pritchett as its head coach.
A former NFL player who played with the Falcons, Pritchett was at Westlake last season but left after an 0-10 finish. Pritchett's five-season record is 21-29. He led Washington of Atlanta to three straight winning seasons from 2008 to 2010.
Arabia Mountain was 4-6 last season in strong Region 6-AAAAA. The Rams was competitive in losses to top programs such as Tucker (39-20), Stephenson (28-18), Miller Grove (21-10) and Southwest DeKalb (26-15).
Junior quarterback Trevous Reynolds threw for2,009 yards last season, the most of any non-senior in DeKalb County.
Arabia Mountain's only head coach had been Christopher Beal.
The school's booster club announced through Facebook that Pritchett would be meeting with players and boosters on Monday.

Thanks for sharing this information, Todd! I wonder if he uses 'Jr.' given his father by the same name was a former administrator? For those interested in trivia, he is now the president of Morris Brown. I understand he score the first touchdown in metro Atlanta after integration back in the 60's.
Arabia Mountain is a 'choice' school (apply to attend) and that means it will be tough to field a competitive football program unless their is consistency with the coaching staff. Here's hoping Pritchett will put some roots into this school. There has been a LOT of turnover with coaches in other sports at this school.

Good hire! But like every new school you have an uphill fight with the already established schools. Good Luck you will need it playing in that region.
July 1st, 2013
11:04 am
Good Luck with this one Arabia Mountain parents! It's a reason that this guy was ranned out of Southwest Atlanta after one season. Granted Westlake football is not what it used to be but it surely is not worthy of 0-10 in a water down region this past season. Just because you played PRO FOOTBALL doesn't mean that you can coach it. The name must have pull some strings downtown because I can't see Arabia's parents being on board with this move!!!! SMH!!!!
July 1st, 2013
11:36 am
Westlake Parent, given the talent pool in that area, an 0-10 record is surprising. It would be interesting to hear from those at Westlake about his 'X & O's. I am a big believer in running schemes that fits your personnel. Trying to run something that the kids are not capable of running will hurt you in the long run.

This is a terrible hire. This guy has jumped into HC positions because of his pro football career and his Daddy's name in Atlanta. He has yet to be a coodinator so his X's and O's are usually to complicated for kids to understand so it results in many kids being out of placed and not understanding. Also he doesnt surround himself with quality coaches. The methods that he used at Westlake were very subpar.. What he can bring is resources but his coaching style is horrible. He will be trying to steal kids from other schools instead of coaching up the ones he has. He proved that at Washington High where he had a very good talent pool, Westlake were he had a astronomical talent pool, and now he comes to Dekalb county where I gurantee he wont win more than 2 games this year.

I feel this is a great hire for Arabia. Not sure what went on at Westlake last season. That school has way more problems to worry about than their football team going 0-10. This is coming from somebody that has lots of knowledge of Westlake. 19-12 record at Washington High after working X's and O's at Douglass and Redan. That's a decent record for a coach this is just starting out. Went to North Atlanta went 2-7. WHO WINS AT NORTH ATLANTA?!? Coach Montgomery jumped shipped for the program at Shiloh. Coach Britten mustard up 1 win. That's a no-talent area. Whatever went on Westlake, he did the right thing, put it behind him and move on.
July 2nd, 2013
9:11 pm
Coach Pritchett will do a Good job at AMHS, just give him a chance. Westlake HS has NEVER won a Region Championship with any coach so its not always the coach. Parents have some UNREALISTIC expectations at times, but the reality is that everybody has GREAT athletes now in the entire STATE of GA so just because you had the most NFL players at one time means nothing. What are your TEST SCORES,GPA, your current CCRPI Index Score?
July 2nd, 2013

Coach pritchet will be great Coach at Arabian Mountain for several reasons. I agree with his resume he will be able to establish himself with kids around Dekalb County and to be able to recruit kids legally. Look at it this way! He has played 11 years in NFL. What coach in dekalb county has done that much less play DIV1 Ball. He also played at a SEC school as well. He has gotten kids in school and is respected by the kids. For the WEST LAKE HATERS, JUST FACE IT WESTLAKE SUCKS AND WILL ALWAYS CONTINUE TO SUCK EVEN UNDER COACH LOVE. SINCE YOU KNOW THE PROGRAM SO WELL AT WESTLAKE WHEN WAS LAST TIME YOU GUYS EVEN HAD 3 div 1 PLAYERS GO SCHOOL IN SAME YEAR? hECK CECIL nEWTON DOESN'T WANT HIS SON TO PLAY AT WEST LAKE EXCUSE HE GIVES IS HE DOESNT WANT HIS SON TO FOLLOW IN CAM SHOES. REALLY HE KNOWS PARENTS ARE WAY TO DEEP IN THE PROGRAM. PRITCHETT HAD YOUNG PLAYERS THAT PLAYED AND WAS COMPETITIVE IN EVERY BALL GAME ALL LOST CAME IN SECOND HALF BY FEW POINTS. HE DIDN'T HAVE GOOD COACHES AT ALL EITHER MAJORITY OF COACHES SUCKED.

The parents at Arabia had no input into the selection of coach Pritchett. The decision was probably made at the county level.

Good Luck and Welcome Coach Pritchett to 5A region 6. Hopefully, he will be able to establish a long relationship with Arabia Mtn HS … this will be needed for a young football program to grow. Last, he inherits a VERY good and dangerous QB.

Stanky Leg and all of the other supporters lose your emotional attachment and look at the facts! 0-10 and FIRED after one year!! Guys this has nothing to do with CCRPI/ GHSGT/ Test Scores/ etc. Last I look Dr. Rivera was doing a good job of changing the culture of the school. How can you get another HC job so quickly after failing so miserably! First I never talked about Coach Pritchett as a person I'm sure he is a good guy but that doesn't make him a good coach! His "Productive Days" at Washington High School involved "Recruiting" players from Mays until that well went dry and the administrators stopped cooperating! He needs to learn the X's, O's and how to adjust during games that's COACHING last time I looked. If a team is in games through one half but looks horrible the second half I think that normally goes to Coach. 2-18 in his last two coaching jobs!!! That's speaks volumes about Coach Pritchett not Mr. Pritchett!!!!!!

To "Stanky Leg" and All the Other Fans of this Hire by Arabia Mountain HS:
In simplest terms, Coach Pritchett can't coach. Period. The lack of logic and non-facts being spouted on this blog by some of you is mind-boggling! I REALLY hope none of you has children, so that the ignorance and stupidity can stop with you! I don't usually get into insults, but when you can't write a complete sentence without making multiple mistakes, something is very wrong. It's embarrassing. If you can't express yourself, take some adult writing classes before getting on a blog and shaming yourself.
Westlake has indeed been an underachieving program over the years, and a boatload of talented kids have gone elsewhere in order to reach their highest potential. There were still enough talented kids on the roster last season that the team shouldn't have gone 0-10. That was the result of poor organization, poor coaching, poor leadership.
Stanley Pritchett has a losing record as a head coach. He has made the playoffs just once in five seasons. He has ZERO track record for putting is players in college. The only two I can think of are Justin Taylor (RB, Kentucky, now transferring to South Carolina State) and Jamal Londry-Jackson (QB App State). Most of the kids today have no recollection of Pritchett playing in the NFL. They were eight-years old the last time he played in the league, and they were NOT EVEN BORN YET when he played at South Carolina. The kids today DON'T KNOW and DON'T CARE that he played in the NFL, and just because you played at the professional level does not mean you can coach.
Yes, he was 19-12 at Washington HS during his three seasons there. But try to use some intelligence and knowledge of football here, something you seem to lack in abundance. Here are the teams that were in his region at the time, which was a subdivided Region 5AAA: Carver, Grady, North Atlanta, Riverwood, St. Pius and Therrell.
Now, contrast that to the region his predecessor, Rodney Cofield, faced at Washington, the brutal Region 6AAAA: Columbia, Lakeside, Marist, Mays, Miller Grove, North Springs, St. Pius, Southwest DeKalb, Stone Mountain and Tucker.
If you know anything about high school football in Georgia, you know there is no comparison as to who had to face tougher competition. And if the assistant coaches at Westlake last season did "SUCK," guess who brought all of them there … Stanley Pritchett.
The bottom line is this: Westlake is much better off with Love as its head coach. In fact, Westlake just might win its region because it is probably the weakest of all the AAAAAA regions in the state. Guaranteed they will win more games than AMHS this season.

Arabia Mountain was an exciting team last year. Remember though, because this region has so many good teams, 3 or even 2 losses can have you not making playoffs. Last year it was not until the last game of the season that the 4 playoff spots were finalized
July 3rd, 2013

Arabia Mountain must beat Mays, SWD and Miller Grove to have a sho at playoffs. Unlikely they will beat the big 3.

Well said Truth Hurts!!! Anyone that thinks this is a good hire is a joke! Arabia Mountain parents of juniors and seniors jump on this guy early and lay down the law! He has a history of playing younger players so they can "Grow in his system" whatever that is!!!

@rwdekalb – Well put my region brethren, on Arabia and Coach Pritchett's goals for success. Certainly, he is aware of the challenge ahead of him. Every Friday Night is a playoff game for ALL in region 6. When a region has 3 teams in the top 10 … (Stephenson, Tucker, MLK – 2013 preseason prediction order), winning the other games WILL be a must … the BIG 3 will not have more than 2 loses and that will be against each other.
@Truth Hurts – We Tucker fans remember the well-coached Washington HS teams of Coach Cofield.

Truth be told, his best record as a Head Coach is when he coached the team the least. He went 7-3 in first year @ Washington when he took over the team during the summer 3 weeks before the 1st game. Its been down hill ever since.
July 4th, 2013
1:23 pm
Well guess its obvious you Westlake people didnt like him, lol. Not sure what happened there, but 0-10 is bad. I will root for him, as I do for all the former APS guys. Do remember playing against him back in high school, he was a TE back then at Douglass.
I suspect the strength of region 6 will be too much for him this season. Maybe their talent can get them to 4-6. Hopefully he can get them going in the right direction and maybe they will catch a break and be reclassified as a 4A school the following season.
July 4th, 2013
9:08 pm
All this venom. I hope he wins six or 7 and shut a lot of mouths. Consider for a moment that they have some talent. If the kid runs and the kid blocks, they can score. If the kid tackles and stops scoring, they can win. Coach or no coach. I have often said it is possible for teams to win despite the poor job the coach may do. Talent can cure many ills.
July 5th, 2013
6:11 pm
These post are hilarious!!!!!! I follow Georgia football very closely and for you Westlake supporters, i have news for you, that so called "talent" you guys have over there is null and void!!!!! How can you guys BASH Pritchett when the parents want to run the program? Its hard to build a program when you only give a guy a season, ask Minnis, he says it all the time, there is FAKE talent at Westake, Daddy Ball players, what will be the excuse when you go 0 and 10 again, will you fire Love? The BEST thing for you guys at Westlake is to let one of the daddy's you like coach the team, since you guys so stuck on REC LEAGUE football!!!!!!!!!
July 5th, 2013
7:49 pm
Leave Coach Pritchett alone, to be the best you have to play with the best; smart guy to accept a coaching position in region 6AAAAA (The best region in AAAAA), Westlake has problems and it's not just coaching problems. It really doesn't matter who Arabian Mt hires because this is the year for the Stephenson Jagggguuuars…
July 6th, 2013

Sports nut: To suggest that 15-17 year old kids can overcome poor coaching and win consistently is perhaps one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this or any other blog. Win a game or two here or there, maybe. But not consistently at the highest level. The coaching in Georgia is too good for that.
Nasty: The talent at Westlake now is plenty good enough to win that region, one of the weakest in AAAAAA. And bringing up Minnis to prove your point shows just how LITTLE you know about Westlake. Here is a short list of kids who left Westake because of his incompetence:
WR CJ Boyd to MLK, now at Alabama State
C DeAndre Wise to Alpharetta, going to Alabama State
DL Quinteze Williams to Sandy Creek, now at Florida
DB Shaquille Wiggins to Sandy Creek, now at UGA
DL Naim Mustafa to Alpharetta, now at Oklahoma State
DL Chris Williams to Sandy Creek, All Region last season, best 3-tech DT in Georgia
DB/ATH Christian Coleman to Our Lady of Mercy, All County last season, legit 4.3 kid
JAB: Another dumb comment. So, according to your logic, a coach with a losing record in a lesser region is going to somehow become better by coaching in a tougher one. Makes no sense. And while no one respects what Coach Gartrell and his staff do to get so many of their kids in school more than I do, let's pump the brakes a bit on the Jag talk. Get to a state final first, then talk big.

Does NFL experience always equivocate to great coaching experience, in particular at the high school level?Just curious as to anyone else's experience with NFL alumni coaches.
July 6th, 2013
12:03 pm
Ballfan: I believe if you check the list of Georgia high school coaches with at least 200 wins (about 50) names, none of them played in the NFL. Chris Slade (former Pro Bowl DL) is taking over at Pace Academy this season. We'll see how he does.
July 7th, 2013

No matter who they bring in as coach at AMHS they can't beat or compete with SWD, MLK, Tucker, Miller grove or Stephenson.
Where is Coach Beal at now ?

Truth Hurts before you go bashing what NQD stated about Minnis you should get your facts straight too. First off NQD is correct in his assessment of the talent at Westklake and the community over there. The Talent is Daddy Ball talent that believe they are more than they are. Mentally they cannot compete at the highest level the parents there always know more than the coaches. As far as Minnis get your facts correct the players that left did not leave simply because of Minnis. Here is the TRUE FACTS:
WR CJ Boyd to MLK, now at Alabama State: Did not want participate in summer workouts (P-Whooped & Lovestruck) but wanted to come in and still start and was upset that he was not featured in the Fall Scrimmage game.
C DeAndre Wise to Alpharetta, going to Alabama State: Daddy upset he wasn't allowed to be on staff (can't pass a background check do to serving time). Went to Alpharetta and had a problem with that coaching staff also.
DL Quinteze Williams to Sandy Creek, now at Florida: Left Westlake after being suspended for a fight with another player after being suspended for another game after leaving the sideline during an on-field altercation of a game in which he wasn't even playing in because of injury. Funny how he was injured while at Westlake but went to Sandy Creek and suddenly heeled.
DB Shaquille Wiggins to Sandy Creek, now at UGA: Left Westlake not because of Minnis but Mentor influence. Shaq on several occassions stated he wanted to return but it wasn't his decision.
DL Naim Mustafa to Alpharetta, now at Oklahoma State: Daddy upset believed older brother Amir should've played inside LB and gotten better scholarship than West Georgia.
DL Chris Williams to Sandy Creek, All Region last season, best 3-tech DT in Georgia: Mother's decision to save a son who was getting into trouble in the cancerous environment that Westlake was becoming. One more incident would have gotten him kicked out. So you know that kid loves Westlake and still would rather be there today with his friends.
DB/ATH Christian Coleman to Our Lady of Mercy, All County last season, legit 4.3 kid: Mom and Dad upset that he couldn't break the varsity rotation as a 5′4 Sophmore and he is still not a legit 4.3 and definately wasn't one then. Let's be real here you are comparing him starting at Our Lady of Mercy a 1A private school to playing at a 6A school. REALLY!!! If he was that good name another 6A program he would start at this year. Get your facts straight before you point the finger. Minnis biggest fault is that he didn't tell the parents/fanbase to shut the hell up and let him coach the team. Westlake has never passed the second round yet they seem to have multiple championship coaches in the stands every game.

@Airraider. I don't the situation that prevailed at Westlake but if what you stated is true its no wonder that program had such a bad season last year.
July 7th, 2013
5:00 pm
Does anyone know if the Mays high quarterback from last season is returning this season. Mays lost I believe 5 games last season. But I believe none of the losses were by more than 7 points. They had a chance to win everyone of those losses. Region 6 aaaaa is a tough region for a good team to be in. Need your A game every week because there are at least 6 really good teams fighting for 4 playoff berths.

Sorry, to tell Arabia Mountain parents this BUT….Stanley cannot coach football. He'd have a hard time with a park team. Many more out there better, but if you just want your boys to sport a football uniform, well then, you got that.
July 8th, 2013

Coach Pritchett's biggest problem at Westlake was his loyalty to friends. His coaching staff was made up of people he played with in high school. Westlake should be called Sandtown High because the same people who ran the park graduated to run the school. The booster club president who came from the park was charging the park to use the facility. The school didn't see that money. You had school administrators hatin on him because of his off the field out of the school relationships. Parents didn't want him from day one and it showed from the first game to the last. There is talent at Westlake but not like in years past. The talent they did have was young and inexperienced. I agree that 0-10 is unacceptable but it would have been hard for anybody to coach under those conditions. I have seen bad teams before, but to fire him after one season that's crazy. Dr. Rivera should have given him at least two more seasons to turn it around. Good luck to Westlake and AMHS.
July 8th, 2013
11:08 am
I believe Mays has a new QB this year. I seen them in the Cam Newton 7 on 7 and neither of those players looked like the kid from last season. Mays better run the ball more effectively if they stand a chance to win. Last season they were in every game this year things are gonna get a little tougher.
@Bh you are correct!! Stanley's biggest fault was hiring his friends instead of the best guys out there. Hiring friends is not a problem if they are qualified and every head coach is only as good as those he surrounds himself with. His OC came from Therrell with a whopping avg of 6.0ppg over 4 years. He made a good move in taking over the offense himself and they looked much better.He doesn't get a pass for the 0-10 season but admittedly so the talent there isn't what everyone thinks it is. Question?? What will be said about Love if Westlake doesn't make the playoffs or only wins 3 or 4 games? Only time will tell if this is a good move for AMHS being in that region never makes things easier. Good Luck.
July 8th, 2013
12:34 pm
@bh The booster president didn't charge Sandtown to use the stadium. That was the Athletic Director, he's no longer at Westlake. @Airraider call me. Why is it always parents who are at fault when someone can't win? Parents don't call the plays are set the lineup.
Ask how many kids got college scholarships in football at Westlake this year? Before 2012 season Westlake had 35+ kids in school #2 or #3 in state behind Stephenson and/or Camden. Getting at least 10 each year. Minnis and Dallas did a great job getting kids in school prior to last year. Kids don't want to leave Westlake; parents take them away from Westlake.

Good amenities, but less than stellar ability to respond to reasonable requests.

The summertime pool service is terrible. The property has two pools and at least one of them is always closed Read More because of algae buildup. The "fitness room" is only opened with their office hours - which is really inconvenient for those who work and want to work out before 9 am and after 6 pm. Their maintenance service is average and pretty quick in their response time.

This year, the meaty roles may not be plentiful, but they're impressive: It's only September and the best-actress race is already overloaded with contenders.
Venice Film Festival, which kicked off Aug. 28, offered two strong possibilities: Sandra Bullock in "Gravity" and Judi Dench in "Philomena," two very different but very impressive tour de force performances.
In May, Cannes offerings included "Blue is the Warmest Color," in which Lea Seydoux and Adele Exarchopoulos took home the fest's actress prize; Berenice Bejo in "The Past"; and "The Immigrant," with Marion Cotillard. That's six possibilities already.
Then you can add Cate Blanchett, in "Blue Jasmine," a performance that's getting a lot of heat, and several current indie films that feature terrific work by their lead actresses, including Brie Larson in "Short Term 12," and Shailene Woodley in "The Spectacular Now."
Venice also screened "Tracks," in which Mia Wasikowska in onscreen the whole time in a role 180 degrees from recent work like "Stoker" and "Alice in Wonderland."
Among the titles to be screened at Toronto, which launches Sept. 5, are "August: Osage County," with Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts; "Devil's Knot," with Reese Witherspoon; and "Labor Day," with Kate Winslet. Those are question-marks until they're seen, but they sure sound like possibilities.
Toronto also offers other questions, such as "Railway Man," with Nicole Kidman: Is that a lead or supporting role?
And speaking of Kidman, don't forget films set for later this year including her "Grace of Monaco"; Naomi Watts as another princess, "Diana"; Emma Thompson in "Saving Mr. Banks"; and a bunch of other possibilities that are likely to pop up.
