Serves 6 to 8
Recipe from "Magnolias Authentic Southern Cuisine" by Donald Barickman.
For the grits cakes:
6 cups water
2 1/2 cups stone-ground grits
1 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons butter
2 teaspoons salt
Pinch white pepper
Make grits cakes: Bring the water to a boil in a heavy-bottomed stockpot or large saucepan. Slowly pour in the grits, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to low and continue to stir so the grits do not settle to the bottom and scorch. After 8 to 10 minutes, the grits will plump up. Cook the grits over low heat 30 to 35 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the cream, butter, salt and white pepper within the last 15 minutes. The grits will have a thick, natural creamy consistency and become soft and silky.
Pour the grits into a 9-by-13-inch pan. If you have to use a different pan, remember that the grits have to be at least 1 1/4 inches thick. Cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate. When the grits mixture is set, cut it into the desired shapes and reserve.
For the tomato gravy:
Makes 3 cups
You can finely chop the tomato by hand, blend it with a blender or use a hand blender.
5 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1/4 cup tomato juice
1 cup peeled, seeded and diced fresh tomato
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons salt
White pepper
Make the gravy: Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter without browning it. Stir in the flour and cook over very low heat for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Add half the milk and stir vigorously until the mixture becomes thick and is smooth. Add the rest of the milk and the tomato juice; stir until the mixture thickens again. Add the tomato and the bay leaf, and cook over low to medium heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Skim off any foam that may come to the surface and discard.
Allow the gravy to cook over very low heat for another 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Season with salt and white pepper. Discard the bay leaf. Whisk in the remaining butter. Adjust the consistency of the gravy with water if it becomes too thick.
For the sautéed shrimp and leeks:
1 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup light olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 cups sliced and washed leeks
1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
To assemble: Dust the grits cakes with the cornmeal. Heat the olive oil over medium-high heat and pan-fry the grits cakes until they are golden brown on both sides and heated through. Cook only a few at a time so the oil will stay hot and they won't stick. A Teflon skillet works well. Place the cakes on paper towels and keep warm.
Heat the butter over medium heat, add the leeks and then cook slowly, without browning, until tender. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Place a grits cake on a plate and stack the leeks and shrimp on the cake. Drizzle 3 tablespoons tomato gravy over and around them. Garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

Evelyn Lozada Speaks On Domestic Violence, Says Infamous Fight With Chad Johnson Was Her "Karma For Acting A Fool"
As news coverage continues to surround Ray Rice, that elevator video of him knocking out then-fiancée Janay Palmer and the aftermath of it, the conversation about domestic violence also continues.
Evelyn Lozada's name was brought up in a conversation about women walking away from their abusers on Twitter, and Lozada decided to join in it. She spoke about feeling like part of everything she went through with ex-husband Chad Johnson, including that domestic abuse incident where he headbutted her after she confronted him about buying condoms to cheat, was karma for her bad behavior. All in all, she said that the situation made her a much better person because she realized that she needed to work on herself.
And Lozada has definitely changed from the woman we used to see on "Basketball Wives" back in the day to the mother of a newborn who has traded in bottle and shade-throwing for diapers and a chill life with fiancé Carl Crawford.
She told Life & Style in the past that after her public split from Johnson, she hit rock bottom.
"I had the worst 2012, I thought my life was over. It happened so publicly, and then the passing of my brother-in-law. But that entire incident [with Chad] led me to where I'm at now.
I would say my broken bridge led me to happiness. If I had to do it again, I would because I truly feel complete right now in my life and I wouldn't change it for anything."
Lozada told the magazine that Crawford changed her life for the better.
"He came into my life at a perfect time. Everything that happened makes me appreciate him 1,000 times more and he also makes me a better person."
"3 Seconds Of Anger Cost Me A Lifetimes Worth Of Work": Chad Johnson Says Ugly Fight With Evelyn Lozada Ruined His Career
If you'll recall, in 2012, Chad Johnson and Evelyn Lozada had something of a whirlwind romance, and a majority of it was featured on Basketball Wives. But things went left after they tied the knot. If you'll recall, on August 11, less than a month after the couple tied the knot (July 4), Johnson was arrested in Florida. He was charged with domestic battery for headbutting Lozada following a heated argument over a receipt for condoms that she found in his car. She filed for divorce (which was finalized in September of 2012), and Johnson received a year of probation after pleading no contest to his misdemeanor battery charge.
The day after Johnson was arrested, he was released from the Miami Dolphins, and things went downhill from there. He has taken jobs here and there, including being an analyst for CBS' Fantasy Football coverage, but after playing in the NFL for more than 10 years, his career was damn near over.
Thinking back on that dark time (FYI, he's reportedly playing ball in Canada now), Johnson hit fans with a "Throwback Thursday" where he recounted how the moment he lost his cool changed his life forever. He posted the following picture of himself in court, and continued:
Speaking earlier this year, Johnson said that he still had love for his ex-wife, despite all they had been through: "Yeah, love don't go nowhere like that. I will always love her, matter fact I love every goddamn body to an extent, it ain't going nowhere."
His most recent Twitter comments come right after Lozada's former fiancé, Antoine Walker, spoke about her leaving him high and dry when his money ran out. Doesn't it seem like it's always when a woman moves on that her exes come out the basement…?
Surprise! We're Related! 10 More Famous Folks We Didn't Know Were Family
For these famous folks, talent seems to run in the family. Here are 10 pairs of celebrities who we were surprised to learn (at one time or another) were related.
Pharrell and Timbaland
Crazy right!? Two of the most talented producers in music are cousins–at least that's what Timbaland claims. In an online chat with fans, Tim said that a little known-fact about him is that he and Pharrell are actually cousins. Hopefully he wasn't referring to "play cousins," but he seemed pretty serious.
Evelyn Lozada Wants To Patch Things Up With Former BFF, Jennifer Williams…
If you used to tune into Basketball Wives, I'm sure you remember the close bond that Evelyn Lozada and Jennifer Williams once had. They shopped together, threw shade together, and they were each other's support system. However, their friendship fell apart when Lozada started dating Chad Johnson, who Williams called an "attention wh*re." She wasn't all that supportive of Lozada's new relationship, and they eventually had a big blowup. And did we mention that Lozada's former assistant slapped Williams in the face on national TV? Yeah, things got quite ugly.
Eventually, Williams left the bottle-throwing, table jumping shenanigans of the show behind, and after dealing with his cheating ways and some domestic violence, Lozada left Johnson. Life has gone on, but that hasn't stopped Lozada from thinking about her former friend.
After posting this on Twitter over the weekend, followers of the former reality star and future Mrs. Crawford told her that she needed to reach out to Williams, whom she traded in for a no-good man:
So could Lozada and Williams mend things and become friends again? While Lozada is open to the idea, we're not so sure about Ms. Williams. She posted this on Twitter last night, and we can't help but wonder what she's trying to say…
But what do you think? How do you know when it's a good idea to allow someone back into your life? And when do you need to leave certain doors closed?
Evelyn Lozada Says Carl Crawford Is "Definitely An Upgrade" From Her Last Relationship…With Chad Johnson
All I'm gonna say is…that IS a super stunning ring. But I have no comment on her new relationship vs. her old one (especially since seeing Carl Crawford out in these streets is like looking for Waldo). Anywho, check out what she had to say below, along with her thoughts on Draya seeking a breast reduction and more.

"Nobody Said You Had To Be With One Woman": Chad Johnson Tries To Justify Cheating, Says Even MLK Was "Hoeing"
In the preview for an episode of Nite Cap with Peter Bailey, Chad Johnson, still doing in-depth interviews about love and why things didn't work out between him and Evelyn Lozada (a lot of free time I guess), spoke about his issues with monogamy, which seemed to go directly against everything Bailey was saying and standing for. It was definitely a heated but lively back and forth, as Bailey spoke about men messing up good things because of their obsession with sex, and Johnson claiming that love doesn't pay the bills. But what stood out most from their conversation was Johnson's statements about Martin Luther King, Jr. and infidelity, which quite a few people aren't too happy about. Here are some tidbits from that chat:
On Monogamy:
Johnson: "Nobody said it had to be the way it is. We all trying to follow rules, somebody made those rules up. Somebody made those rules up! Nobody said you had to be with one woman. Nobody said that!"
Bailey: "But isn't the outcome of multiple women, drama?"
Johnson: "I never had any drama."
Bailey: Chad…you never had any drama? Chad, the woman you loved got mad at you because you had other women."
Johnson: "I told the f**in' truth when I met her!"
Bailey: "But she got mad because of it, so it did cause drama!"
On Love:
Johnson: "Love ain't paying no bills man."
Bailey: "Your idea of love is off."
Johnson: I'm just telling you the truth.
Bailey: "So you're not willing to make that sacrifice for that woman?"
Johnson: "I can't. It's a great sacrifice but it's hard to do, and I choose not to sell that dream like I can do it, and that's the problem now. Why can't I sit here and tell you the truth?"
On Dr. King And Cheating:
Bailey: "If Dr. King and these guys were realists, we wouldn't be sitting here. You wouldn't be sitting in this big 'ol house. You wouldn't. When Dr. King was talking this type of stuff and the brothers were like 'Man, come on man, this ain't never going to happen.'"
Johnson: "What was Dr. King doing behind closed doors?"
Bailey: "You really going to go there on me, Chad?"
Johnson: "Don't sugarcoat it."
Bailey: "It's been documented that the man had infidelity issues."
Johnson: "So we not being real right now…You don't want to say hoeing? Why don't you just say hoeing?"
Not sure what to make of all he had to say, other than that it's clear that Chad Johnson really doesn't seem to believe in love, and now that it's been made clear like three times already–ladies, run in the other direction (as if there wasn't good reason to run kicking and screaming before). Check out the preview of his conversation with Peter Bailey below and share your thoughts on his statements:
Chad Ochocinco Debuts New Girlfriend, Crystal
Well, it looks like there's a new woman in former NFL star Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson's life. Apparently Chad has been seeing a young lady by the name of Crystal for the past several months. According to Baller Alert, she works as a bartender in Miami.
It's unclear how serious their relationship is, but judging by their Instagram pages, the couple have taken a few trips together over the course of their courtship. Crystal seems like she could be a decent girl, so hopefully their relationship lasts longer than his last few flings.
Just last fall the former reality star was linked to Miami stylist Kimberly Yohman. However, it appears that whatever they had is over. When a fan inquired about Kimberly under one of Crystal's "Man Crush Monday" posts dedicated to Chad, she simply responded:
"Why does it matter to you?"
Welp, so much for that.

"I'm Good For About 6 Months" Chad Johnson Talks Monogamy, The End Of His Career & Evelyn Lozada
Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson is an interesting character for sure. And you never know what you'll get from this dude. Just a couple of weeks ago, we were talking about him trying to flirt with Porsha on Twitter. Recently, Chad, who smoked a cigar, sipped a coffee and displayed his black nail polish, sat down with Peter Bailey to discuss his eccentricities, why he can never be monogamous, his relationship with Evelyn and being more than just a football player. Most of us have kind of written Chad off, myself included; but I will say that this interview was very insightful. Chad claims his anti monogamy stance is not due to any type of insecurities. But then, as the interview goes on he says there a lot of women who wouldn't give men the time of day if they didn't have money in their pocket. (He did say that Evelyn wasn't that person though. She was with him when he didn't have anything.) And then there was an interesting moment where he talked about his grandmother and the word she uses to describe him. Either way, it's… interesting to say the least.
Check out some of the highlights below and then you can watch the entire interview on the last page.
Did you make critical errors in the love department?
NoI didn't make any critical errors because I always tell the truth from jump. Discipline, I lack it. Dealing with one woman lets think rationally, let's think logically. It ain't have nothing to do with South beach, it ain't have nothing to do with Miami. I don't care how fine you are, for every fine woman you see, there's a dude that is tired of that same woman. Human nature is undefeated and what I've always done, even in my past relationship was tell the truth from jump. I never lied, I'm not going to lie to you, why sell you a dream.
There are men out there that are willing to give their all, that have the discipline to be able to give them that storybook ending, that fairytale as I so call it. I think I'm good for that for about about 6 months, I'm on track, I'm good. But at some point, I don't care how fine you are, I'm going to lose interest.
Sex is a beautiful thing and there's no such thing as a hoe.
Yeah, love don't go nowhere like that. I will always love her, matter fact I love every goddamn body to an extent, it ain't going nowhere.
Is it the idea or the person?
The person, the individual because I got to know another Evelyn, besides what everybody else knows. I don't care how she operates, I don't care what it looked like to society, I don't care how it played out, I don't care the fact that she moved on. I love that being.
Was that really you on the show?
Anytime I was on that camera there was no script. I ain't role playing, I'm giving you Chad that's raw and uncut, anything that comes out my mouth is raw and uncut.
There are all these stereotypes that all we are is a penis. Do you think you ever played into that?
Not really because there's way more than just that to me. There's a lot of substance, a lot. Outside of football which is why I'm going to be alright. There's so much more that I can do. There's so much more that I have to offer whether they like it or not. See, I don't stop with just football. There's a small window of opportunity that I had to take advantage of. Man what, the average NFL career is 2-3 years. I got a good 12 years. I didn't finish when I wanted to but I got some good time in.
The conversation turned to Chad's football career, his reputation of being a rebel in the league and what he does for money these days.
Why have you been demonized for breaking that mold?
I don't know. I take the NFL for instance, the way I played the game of football is frowned upon. The way I played in the NFL is the way I played at Liberty City Optimist. Nothing changed because you gave me a check. That game is meant to be played for fun, they see it as a business. They see that once you get to this point you're supposed to be a ole model, you to carry yourself a certain way. I am not your child's parent. I'm the parent so if I'm going to be a role model, I'm not acting so nothing about what I'm doing is a role. I would love to finish my career. I would love to finish playing the game that I love, the game that I dreamt from a child.
Chad says he hasn't had a check come in in three years.
How do you survive?
I'm cheap. I been cheap.
Women don't like cheap men though.
Conversation will win every time.
Peter Bailey asked Chad whether or not he believed that if he applied that same discipline he gave to football to his romantic relationships, he would be able to be monogamous.
Isn't perfecting the craft of love, meeting it with the same discipline?
That's a completely different ball game. Football wasn't going no where. Football is going to be there when I don't have anything. When my plate was empty football was there. When my plate was full it was because of football. So right now, let's say my plate is empty again, football is still there. Most of the time if your plate ain't full, ain't nobody coming to your table. Let's not forget now. We talking about love and dealing with women but half of them wouldn't even deal with you if your plate ain't right.
How can you love without sacrifice?
Sacrifice my freedom? Why? Show me a man with options who's not doing his thing, you can shoot me dead.
Where does spirituality come in?
I don't know. I have no idea. I can only speak for me. I can't speak on anyone else.
Are you spiritual?
Very, very, very. and still am I able… I'm not finna fool myself. I'm not going to put that pressure on myself.
Monogamy again…
Maybe I will get to that point where it will be just one person. But right now man, sugar ain't budging…But right now my ugly ass can't abide by that.
Why do you call yourself ugly Chad?
That's the way my grandmother introduces me, so I just stick with it. Still to this day, everyday since I was a kid, that's how she talks to me. "Where your ugly ass been at?"
People, particularly people in the black community being so willing to put each other in a box and
Why you got your nails black?
Ni**a, because I'm in a dark space right now, that's why. I'm straight. Am I gay? No. If I was, would I bite my tongue and say that I wasn't? No.
This guy is really complex. I'm wondering what a conversation with Iyanla would do for him. That piece about his grandmother calling him ugly…until today is very telling…in addition to all the other stuff.

Girl, Run! Chad Johnson And Porsha Stewart Flirt On Twitter
Now that Porsha is newly divorced and on the market, it only makes sense that dudes are trying to get at her, she's an attractive woman. And while it would nice for Porsha to move on and find love, we have to say that she absolutely, positively should not be moving on with the likes of someone like Chad "Ocho Cinco" Johnson.
We all know how the man gets down. The fact that he cheated on his wife, days into their marriage and head butted her when she confronted him, is no secret.
And while we might suspect that Johnson would maybe want to keep his love interests on the low low for a while, that doesn't seem to be the case.
Johnson is a big fan of Twitter, you may remember that's how he and Evelyn met. And since Twitter has led to a relationship in the past, we're sure he's thinking why not go back to the well. He threw out this line to the "Real Housewife" on Twitter and unfortunately, she bit.
See how the interaction went down.
Some waywards praised Ocho Cinco for being a mack while others said that this whole interaction was a mess and Porsha should not go down this road. Of course we agree. She shouldn't. The biggest issue is the fact that Johnson is a known abuser and cheater. But beyond that, perhaps she might want to step away from former football players for a while. Or maybe she should think about the fact that she's falling right into the same trap Evelyn fell into. Either way Porsha, girl… run. I pray the conversation didn't continue in their DMs.
At the end of the day, this was just a couple of tweets. Porsha could very well have kept it at a couple of smileys and kept on moving. But if you see these two out here in these streets together, know that this is where it started and you saw it here first.

Evelyn Lozada Bailed On "BBW" Reunion Because Of Pregnancy And NOT Wanting To Talk About Chad
Evelyn Lozada sat down for an interview with OMG! Insider to talk about her pregnancy, and her future plans after Basketball Wives. In the interview, she finally sets the record straight about why she refused to participate in the Basketball Wives reunion, if she really does want to do the whole spin-off show thing, and why she says she doesn't want to talk about Chad Johnson anymore. Probably because she spent this whole last season chatting about him, crying about him and stressing about him non-stop. Here's the tea according to Miss E:
Why She Bailed On The BBW Reunion:
"When the show was ending, I told my publicist and just talking to my family, 'I don't want to do the reunion, I don't want to talk about my relationship anymore.' We're both trying to move on, including my family, and myself…
I decided not to do the reunion and then right after that is when I found out I was pregnant. So I'm like, 'Oh my God.' I didn't want to unveil the bump on the reunion. It's just a little messy and probably a little tacky so I just decided I'm not going to do anything I'm just going to stand still and enjoy this pregnancy."
She Deals With Chad Johnson Tweeting About Her Often:
"Well, I try not to listen to anything, obviously things pop up on your timeline on Twitter. I'm active in social networking, but thank God for the block button!"
What Her Future Is With Basketball Wives:
"I don't even know if there's going to be another season. I know that I signed on to do five seasons and I did five seasons. It's one of those things, the show ended a few months ago, so we'll see what happens. Me personally, I just really want to focus on the rest of my pregnancy and the baby, which I'm really excited about."
If She Wants To Do A Spin-off Show After All Her Years Of Reality TV Drama:
"I would. You know what? Reality TV, even though there's a lot of negativity, it's been more positive for me. I was able to do a lot of things because of the show. I'm not one of those people who bashes it when it's done. I feel like, thank God for Shaunie. I always tell her, I sometimes call her and I'm like, 'I blame you for my life being so crazy.' But at the same time, you have to learn how to make the most of it. I was able to put my daughter through college because of it, so I've been very blessed because of it."
Lozada seems more confident but also more mature in this interview than in the past. Check out the full sit-down below and share your thoughts.

130 Lincoln Avenue, Santa Fe
Can Kent Williams draw and paint? Oh yes indeedy, though when he gets stuck anatomically or spatially he hides the problematic areas in a whirling storm of blech-mosphere. Or maybe he just bumps up against his own boredom with his everybody-else-has-already-done-this-better style of figurative painting and thinks, "I'll just scumble around for a while. Maybe somebody who doesn't know better will mistake it for expressivity."
And what about his color sense? Let's just say, he makes the painter's term "mud" (over-mixed color that has lost all semblance of life) seem like an insult to earth. Oh, I'm being mean again, because I'm a bad, bad, man, but somebody has to shock Williams out of his dead-end artistic efforts. With 2,196,000 artists in the United States, according to the latest census data, any and all exhibition space needs to go to the most worthy. If ya ask me, Williams needs more than a little bump of tough-love.
You've seen it all through the yellowed windows of the under-grad studio complex; the sense that mixed down lifeless colors are "serious painting" because some eighteenth century academic losers mistook incense soot for Michelangelo's palette; the competent figure-drawing that privileges cover-up over follow-through; the influences that remain so uninflected and half-stepped that they read like derivative mimicry rather than homage. Schiele and Kokoschka have been herein abused.
The sad thing about Williams' work is that his abundance of technical talent exposes a lack of vision. He has won serious awards for his graphic novels, including Italy's coveted "Yellow Kid," but based on the evidence here maybe he ought to stick to graphic novels. It appears that he gets lazy when it comes to finishing figures, and the pieces end up being all truncated body parts and false climax. Devon's Back is a prime example of this painterly myopia, though in this one case he does paint the entire figure, presumably out of eroto-attachment. The hip-hop pun of the title, à la Slim Shady, is insufficient premise for elevating a girly picture into the realm of the sublime. The brown-beige miasma that surrounds her body only indicates the artist's inability to integrate his objectified object with her surroundings, and the violet over-painting of two of the studio walls is so strident against the overall blah-tones as to be cloying.
Sure it's hard to paint the human back, which Williams does well, but success in that endeavor is what gets you an A at Pratt before you go on to bigger things. The challenge is to develop your own ideas and to give your work meaning. Check out Odd Nerdrum, or better, Steven Assael—another Pratt alumnus, if you want contemporary figurators who meet the criteria. I hope Kent Williams take this review as a challenge to actually challenge himself.

Tennessee Children Rank 32nd For Health, Well-Being
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A new national report finds Tennessee's children rank 32nd among all states for academic success, health and economic well-being.
The Annie E. Casey Foundation's "Race for Results: Building a Path to Opportunity for All Children" scores states on 12 measurements. They include child birth-weight, eighth grade math proficiency, rate of teen pregnancies, whether children live in two-parent families and percentage of children growing up in poverty.
The report found that black and Hispanic children trailed behind their white and Asian peers both in Tennessee and across the nation.
Tennessee scored above the national average on only two measures: on-time high school graduation and the number of children living in homes with at least one adult with a high school degree or better.

Many advisors recommend that you resist the tendency to hang on to your crew as the work dries up. That's good advice — if you have marginal performers. But if your crew is solid top to bottom, there may be some untapped potential there.
Have a company meeting and let everybody know that your first priority is to keep them all on board. Ask for their ideas about how to do that — ways they can help ensure a steady flow of profitable jobs. We sometimes pigeonhole people and neglect to ask them for help because we assume they can't provide it — when in fact they may be our best resource. If you make keeping everybody employed a team commitment, you'll bring a lot more talent to bear on the problem and stand a better chance of meeting the goal.
One of the key ways you'll get through a downtime is by having a staff that can do pretty much anything you ask them to. Let them know you need them to be flexible and adaptable. Consider taking on tasks you might normally subcontract — painting, roofing, hanging drywall — if you can do them cost-effectively and to a high level of quality.
If you're shifting from a few large jobs to several small ones, some of your crew might have to start developing management skills they'd never needed before. This is a good opportunity to develop some systems and training procedures for bringing people along. When they have to choose between learning to manage time and communicate effectively or losing their job, most workers are going to be quite willing to learn new skills.
This is the time for each member of your crew to learn how to read a job budget sheet, a job-cost accounting form, and a company-wide profit-and-loss sheet. If your entire staff knows the bottom line for every one of the company's activities, everyone will help you watch out for it. If you're the only one worrying about the bottom line in a clear, informed fashion, you'll be setting an unnecessarily low ceiling for the effort.
So get the whole team involved. You may find savings and profits where you never dreamed they existed before.
In 1990, the Boston area was hit by a deep recession. During that time we found we could get a lot of new projects by returning to past jobs to do unsolicited warranty work on past projects. That's when I learned that warranty work is the best marketing investment available.
So if things slow down for you some, consider setting up one of your carpenters to do unsolicited warranty calls for a couple of weeks. You may find that it's like a giant gate valve for new projects — they start flowing as soon as your worker starts providing this free service.
In his book The Tipping Point, Malcolm Gladwell writes about "connectors" as the hubs of social networks. One way to identify who your most important connectors are is by plotting a "family tree" of your referral sources over the past several years. Make a list of all your projects and who referred them to you, write each job (and source) on a sticky note, and post the notes on a flip chart. Organize the chart like the branches of a tree — the Smith job was a referral from the Joneses, who were a referral from the Wilsons. The White job was a referral from the Blacks, who were also a referral from the Wilsons.
That's two branches that start at the Wilsons. In this way you can identify your most potent lead sources — they're at the root of the biggest branches on your "lead tree," they're your connectors, and they're probably some of your most loyal fans. Take a group of these people out to dinner and ask for their help and their ideas. It's virtually certain that they'll come through for you.
There's a range of other efforts that have worked for us, such as public speaking on construction topics for local organizations and consumer groups; community-service projects; display tables at environmental fairs; frequent updates and informative content on the company Web site; a useful and entertaining newsletter with a personal touch. Don't forget these things — but don't limit yourself to them. And be sure to delegate some of the activities to members of your crew so you can focus on other, broader strategies and options.
In short, think like an economist: View a possible recession as a way to clear out not only some of the marginal businesses in your industry, but also many of your own marginal business practices. Handled properly, an economic slump can help you take your whole team to the next level.

Angelle Jenisis Negron, a 10-month-old Castroville infant, was last seen alive at her grandmother's house on Feb. 2.
Her mother's boyfriend, Jesus "Jesse" Vargas Espinoza, claimed he took her to Disneyland but never returned.
Angelle was found dead along Highway 183/Market Street under the Davis Road overpass on Feb. 19. Her body was found at the base of this tree.
Susan Morales said her boyfriend, Jesus Espinoza, often helped take care of her baby and she did not realize any abuse was happening.
Espinoza was not the baby's father.
The baby's mother, Susan Morales, was standing in pouring rain when deputies found her daughter's body.
"My daughter doesn't deserve this, she's only 10 months old," she said.
"We are a small community in Castroville. We all stick together and connect in one way or another. This is not something I expect from him," Morales said of her boyfriend.
On Friday, the memorial on Highway 183 under the Davis Road overpass had grown with more balloons, candles and teddy bears. (Feb. 21, 2013)
Jesus "Jesse" Vargas Espinoza was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
Castroville residents made a memorial at the base of a tree where the baby's body was found just outside Salinas on Highway 183 under the Davis Road overpass. (Feb. 20, 2013)
Angelle's mom said the 10-month-old loved to sing, was full of life, and made everyone smile.
A candlelight vigil was held for 10-month-old Angelle Jenisis Negron. Investigators said she was slain by her mother's 47-year-old boyfriend. (Feb. 20, 2013)
Sheriff's Sgt. Terry Kaiser, right, said the Castroville baby's disappearance did not meet the right criteria to make an Amber Alert, mostly because investigators did not know what type of vehicle the suspect was driving.
"It's not a matter of regret. We didn't meet the criteria, so we (had) no ability to issue one," Kaiser said.
Monterey County Sheriff Scott Miller, left, said Espinoza was taken into custody and told investigators where they could find the missing baby.
So one of the baby's family members turned a car into a makeshift Amber Alert billboard. The back of a white car was covered in photos of the missing baby, descriptions of the missing baby and suspected kidnapper, and messages urging witnesses to call 911.
On Feb. 6, Espinoza called the baby's mother and said he was going to take Angelle and his other daughter to Disneyland in Los Angeles, deputies said. The baby's mother and grandmother became highly concerned when days went by and he never returned.
The slain baby, her mother, and her mother's boyfriend are all Castroville residents. Castroville is seven miles north from Salinas and they are both rural agricultural towns.
A bartender who works at Mike's bar in Castroville told KSBW that he saw Espinoza in his bar on Thursday, Feb. 14 with no baby in sight.
Less than an hour after after this photo was shot a coroner carried a small body bag away from the hillside on the left.
This is the last known photo taken of baby Angelle Jenisis Negron before she was slain.
Family and friends of 10-month-old Angelle Jenisis Negron released balloons in the baby's memory on Wednesday. (Feb. 20, 2013)
This memorial was built where a Castroville baby was found buried under a tree in Salinas.

It was reported that one man admitted to being the shooter.
Samuel said the investigation is ongoing and no arrests have been made, however, police are not searching for additional suspects.

Baird Beer - Kurofune Porter
Almost smells like an imperial stout, intense raisin. The taste is much more mellow and balanced. Smooth roast and coco, with a hint of sweetness and bitterness.
Bottom Line: Big Aroma, Mellow Flavor, Balanced, and Well Made, Drink It
D. Carnegie & Co. - Porter 2010 Vintage
The color is a bit lighter than I expected. It's a dark, dark, brown and when held up to the light, there is a very deep ruby amber hue. A small bubbly light tan head rests atop the beer, holding for a few minutes and eventually fading to a very thin layer.
The aroma starts off a touch nutty, like yeast esters, followed by a faint roast and mild chocolate.
The taste was a bit of a let down at first. I was expecting something more bold and heavier in the mouth. However, over the length of this beer, the more I drink, the better it tastes. The body is on the lower side of medium. Taste-wise it's pretty basic, not dull, but not all that complex either. A bit of the roast and chocolate in the front and middle, and the finish is a lingering bitterness with a faint flinty whisp on the back of the palate.
Overall, I do like this, but I think the two years in the bottle may have been about one year too long. I need to try this again when I find a bottle.
Bottom Line: Worth a try. A pretty classic porter, but it's not WOWing me.
Troegs - Java Head, A stout brewed with coffee beans
Finally! Dark beers are back in season! More dark beer reveiws to come.
Java Head poured like a black cup of coffee with a nice tan head.
Off the whiff? you guessed it lots of coffee, really nice fresh brewed coffee aroma and a touch of sweetness.
The Taste is obvious coffee up front, much lighter in the mouth than expected, medium. A light hint of dark chocolate and roasted malts but mainly the solid coffee flavor dominating the taste. Not as much bitterness as I was expecting from the hops, malts, and coffee.
Overall, really solid coffee stout. One note flavor to a certain extent but why else would you drink a coffee infused beer?
Bottom Line: Fresh Brewed Coffee, Balanced, Medium, Easy Drinker, DRINK IT!
The Kernel - Export Stout (2012 from the new brewery)
Quick Notes: First impression of this beer? Absolutely Fantastic! The Kernel again is turning out perfection in a bottle from their new brewery. This hits all the notes, a little booze, some bitterness, and the roasted chocolate malts are balanced to perfection.
I wouldn't mind this being 8 or 9 percent, but at 7.2%, it goes down smooth. If you're lucky enough to find this in the States (from a friend that smuggled it across the pond) then you must drink it. You will not be disappointed.
Bottom Line: DRINK IT! one of the best brewery's making beer in the world today.
Brooklyn Brewery - Black Chocolate Stout
No actual chocolate in this beer, just roasted & chocolate malts. Why am I drinking this "winter seasonal" in June? I don't have a good answer for that other than it was in the fridge and I'm trying to free up some space for the next beer haul.
Quick notes: raisins, ash, burnt wood, char, molasses, alcohol, slow sipper, rich body
Overall, its not my most favorite imperial stout and I don't think I'll revisit this one all that often.
Bottom line: Age would do this beer well to help round off some of the bold in your face flavors.
Firestone Walker's Reserve Porter
Quick notes: Fairly dark, lovely pillow like head, hints of roasted malts a touch of sweetness, taste follows the same road as aromas. Not overpowering and smooth.
Overall: A fine example of the style, a tad on the sweet side but always a fine beer from one of the best breweries in CA. Find and drink anything from FSW and you won't be disappointed.
Bottom Line: Drink It!
Stillwater Existent Framhouse Ale
I've had this in the bottle and on draft and I have to say the draft was all around better. This is a solid beer with light and subtle flavors, ranging from fruity yeasts, to roasted malts. The bottle version was a bit off at first but it was much too cold, once it warmed up the taste became closer to what the draft version tasted like. Overall I'd drink it again but not from the bottle.
Bottom Line: DRINK IT!
Drake's Vrewing Drakonic IMP Stout
I drank this a few days ago and it was quite good. Very dark, roasted, sticky, and a serious boozyness mixed in. My recommendation is to end the night with this beer it will alter your palate (in a good way) so drink this last. Or drink it first if you're going to say in the dark imperials game all night. Overall based on this bottle I'd be happy to drink this again and see what else they offer up.
Bottom Line: Drink It
Kern River Class V Stout
Described as "not for the timid", lovely stout here. Well roasted with a layering flavor of dark chocolate and alcohol and enough bitterness to satisfy any hop head.
This for sure is something I'd drink again and again. Not much else to say other than that. If you want a true to style stout with rich flavor and high alcohol, 8.5%, then this is for you.
Bell's Porter
Hands down this is one of the best examples of what I think a porter should be. It's smooth, balanced, roasted and delicious! …And I'm pretty sure most of you on the third coast already knew this.
If you have friends in the midwest, beg them to assemble you a Bell's tasting pack and ship to you… be sure to include this porter on the list.

'Fast Money' Recap Pops and Drops': Malaysia Malaise
Here's what CNBC's "Fast Money" traders had to say about some of the market's biggest movers on their "Pops and Drops" segment Monday.
Nationwide Financial (NFS) popped 26%. Karen Finerman said that buyout activity was responsible for the jump in share price.
PowerShares DB Agriculture (DBA) rose 2%. Tim Seymour attributed the move to a rising emerging market consumer.
Citigroup (C) dropped 6%. Najarian said excessive banking fears caused the stock to drop.AK Steel (AKS) fell 10%. Adami said that on a bad day, the steel names underperform. On the other hand, he said investors like Harbinger are accumulating steel names. iShares MSCI Malaysia (EWM) was down 12%. Seymour said that the Malaysia stock market is down 25% over the past weeks. The recent election wasn't the only factor, he said. He urged viewers to put money into Taiwan. Rio Tinto (RTP) lost 6%. MannKind (MNKD) stumbled 10%. Najarian said that as other drugmakers get out of inhaled insulin drugs, investors are getting out of MannKind, the only company still in that business. Blue Nile (NILE) ticked down 5%. Guy Adami noted heavy short interest in the name.

Green Mountain Post/New Babylon Times
Green Mountain Post and New Babylon Times, 1969-1994.
The New Babylon Times was a politically-informed countercultural literary magazine produced by members of the Montague Farm commune during the fall 1969. Edited by John Wilton, the first issue featured writing by commune stalwarts such as Ray Mungo, Verandah Porche, and Jon Maslow and photographs by Peter Simon, among others. Renamed the Green Mountain Post, the magazine appeared on an irregular basis until issue five in 1977, with writing and artwork by a range of associates of the commune, including Harvey Wasserman, Tom Fels, and Steve Diamond. In 1994, Fels edited a single issue of Farm Notes, in some ways a successor to the Post.
The Famous Long Ago Archive contains a complete run of the magazine, which have been digitized and made available on the SCUA website.

Halpern, Paul
Paul Halpern Collection, ca.1975-1985.
Call no.: MS 645
A theoretical physicist at University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, Paul Halpern is the author of a dozen popular books on science and dozens of scholarly articles. After spending his undergraduate years at Temple University, Halpern received a doctorate at SUNY Stony Brook, and has since written on complex and higher-dimensional solutions in general relativity theory and the nature of time as well as the history of the modern physical sciences. He has been a Fulbright Scholar and fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation.
The hundreds of ephemeral publications, fliers, and handbills in the Halpern Collection provide a window into political and social activism in Philadelphia during the late 1970s and early 1980s. The content ranges widely from publications produced by peace and disarmament groups to the literature of anti-imperialist (e.g. CISPES), antinuclear groups (SANE and post-Three Mile Island mobilization), radical political parties, and religious organizations including the Unification Church and the Church of Scientology.

Hefner, William K.
William K. Hefner Papers, 1962-1978.
Call no.: MS 129
In 1960, William K. Hefner (1915-1993) became one of the first of new breed of radical pacifists to run for elective office, when he ran as a peace candidate for Congress in the 1st district of Massachusetts. An accountant from Greenfield, Hefner was involved at a national level with movements for peace and civil rights. An early member of SANE, a founder of Political Action for Peace in 1959 (now CPPAX) and the Greenfield Peace Center (1963), and an active member of the American Friends Service Committee, War Resisters League, Turn Toward Peace, and the World Without War Conference, Hefner was an energetic force in the movements for peace and disarmament, civil rights, and a more just economic system. He ran unsuccessfully for office in three elections between 1960 and 1964, and supported peace candidate H. Stuart Hughes in his bid for election to the U.S. Senate in 1962.
The Hefner papers offer a remarkable record of politically-engaged activism for peace and social justice in the early 1960s. With an intensely local focus, Hefner was tied in to the larger movements at the state and national level, corresponding with major figures such as A.J. Muste, Bayard Rustin, Benjamin Spock, and Arthur Springer. The collection includes particularly rich documentation of the early years of Political Action for Peace, which Hefner helped found, with correspondence, minutes of meetings, and publications, as well as equally rich materials on Hefner's bids for congress in 1960 and 1962.

Henderson, Elizabeth, 1943-
Elizabeth Henderson Papers, 1966-2011.
Call no.: MS 746
A farmer, activist, and writer, Elizabeth Henderson has exerted an enormous influence on the movement for organic and sustainable agriculture since the 1970s. Although Henderson embarked on an academic career after completing a doctorate at Yale on the Russian poet Vladimir Mayakovsky in 1974, by 1980, she abandoned academia for Unadilla Farm in Gill, Mass., where she learned organic techniques for raising vegetables. Relocating to Rose Valley Farm in Wayne County, NY, in 1989, she helped establish Genesee Valley Organic CSA (GVOCSA), one of the first in the country, and she continued the relationship with the CSA after founding Peacework Organic Farm in Newark, NY, in 1998. Deeply involved in the organic movement at all levels, Henderson was a founding member of the Northeast Organic Farming Association (NOFA) in Massachusetts, has served on the Board of Directors for NOFA NY, the NOFA Interstate Council, SARE (Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education) Northeast, and many other farming organizations at the state, regional, and national level, and she has been an important voice in national discussions on organic standards, fair trade, and agricultural justice. Among other publications, Henderson contributed to and edited The Real Dirt: Farmers Tell about Organic and Low-Input Practices in the Northeast and co-wrote Sharing the Harvest: A Citizen's Guide to Community Supported Agriculture (1999, with Robyn Van En) and A Manual of Whole Farm Planning (2003, with Karl North).
Offering insight into the growth of the organic agriculture movement and the organizations that have sustained it, the Henderson Papers document Henderson's involvement with NOFA, SARE, and the GVOCSA, along with her work to establish organic standards and promote organic practices. Henderson's broad social and political commitments are represented by a rich set of letters from her work educating prisoners in the late 1970s, including correspondence with Tiyo Atallah Salah El and John Clinkscales, and with the American Independent Movement in New Haven during the early 1970s, including a nearly complete run of the AIM Bulletin and its successor Modern Times.

Henry, Diana Mara
Diana Mara Henry Collection, ca.1960-2012.
Call no.: PH 051
Recognized for her coverage of historic events and personalities, the photographer Diana Mara Henry took the first steps toward her career in 1967 when she became photo editor for the Harvard Crimson. After winning the Ferguson History Prize and graduating from Harvard with a degree in government in 1969, Henry returned to New York to work as a researcher with NBC News and as a general assignment reporter for the Staten Island Advance, but in 1971 she began to work as a freelance photographer. Among many projects, she covered the Democratic conventions of 1972 and 1976 and was selected as official photographer for both the National Commission on the Observance of International Women's Year and the First National Women's Conference in 1977, and while teaching at the International Center for Photography from 1974-1979, she developed the community workshop program and was a leader in a campaign to save the Alice Austin House. Her body of work ranges widely from the fashion scene in 1970s New York and personal assignments for the family of Malcolm Forbes and other socialites to political demonstrations, cultural events, and photoessays on one room schoolhouses in Vermont and everyday life in Brooklyn, France, Nepal, and Bali. Widely published and exhibited, her work is part of permanent collections at institutions including the Schlesinger Library, the Library of Congress, Smithsonian, and the National Archives.
The Henry collection is a rich evocation of four decades of political, social, and cultural change in America beginning in the late 1960s as seen through the life of one photojournalist. This diverse body of work is particularly rich in documenting the women's movement, second wave feminism, and the political scene in the 1970s. Henry left a remarkable record of women in politics, with dozens of images of Bella Abzug, Elizabeth Holtzman, Shirley Chisholm, Liz Carpenter, Betty Friedan, Jane Fonda, and Gloria Steinem. The collection includes images of politicians at all levels of government, celebrities, writers, and scholars, and coverage of important events including demonstrations by Vietnam Veterans Against the War, the Women's Pentagon Action, and marches for the ERA. The many hundreds of exhibition and working prints in the collection are accompanied by the complete body of Henry's photographic negatives and slides, along with an array of ephemera, correspondence, and other materials relating to her career. Copyright for Henry's images are retained by her until 2037.

International Oil Working Group
International Oil Working Group Collection, 1957-1987 (Bulk: 1980-1985).
Call no.: MS 268
The International Oil Working Group (IOWG) is one of a number of organizations that worked to implement an oil embargo initiated by the United Nations General Assembly against South Africa to protest the country's policies of apartheid. The IOWG grew out of the Sanctions Working Group established in 1979. Although the nature and timing of the change in names is unclear, it appears that Dr. Teresa Turner was instrumental in the formation of both groups and was primarily responsible for their organization and administration. Other directors included Luis Prado, Arnold Baker and Kassahun Checole. While the group was loosely organized, it maintained the basic structure of a special advisory board with a pool of research associates. Primary activities involved researching topics related to the oil embargo; writing papers for regional, national, and international conferences; giving testimony at UN meetings; providing information to governments, unions and other groups committed to aiding in the implementation of the oil embargo; lecturing to students and members of the community on the subject of sanctions against South Africa; and collaborating with the UN Center Against Apartheid. Research topics included tanker monitoring to detect and expose those shipping companies that broke the embargo; the energy needs in those countries in southern Africa which depend upon South Africa to meet some of their energy demands; ways to effectively implement and enforce the oil embargo; trade union action by oil transport workers; Namibian independence and decolonization; and underground oil storage in South Africa.
Collection consists of administrative papers including financial records, minutes and association history materials; correspondence; printed materials produced by the IOWG; conference files; UN documents relating to South Africa and sanctions; and reference materials, including published reports, news clippings, newsletters and journals, related to oil shipping, tanker information and South African economic and political activity generally.

Kleckner, Susan
Susan Kleckner Papers, ca.1970-2010.
Call no.: MS 725
A feminist, filmmaker, photographer, performance artist, writer, and New Yorker, Susan Kleckner helped to define the Feminist Art Movement. Born in 1941, Kleckner was instrumental in uniting Women Artists in Revolution (WAR) with Feminists in the Arts in 1969, and in 1970 she became a founder of the Women's Interart Center, which still fosters women artists in the performing, visual, and media arts. A talented and prolific visual artist, she produced several important video documentaries during her career, beginning with Three Lives (made in collaboration with Kate Millet in 1970), which is considered the first all-women produced feature documentary. Her work often reflected a feminist commitment to the cause of peace: she participated in and photographed the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp in England during the mid-1980s and in 1987, she curated a major year-long installation on Broadway called WindowPeace. A brilliant teacher, Kleckner was the first woman to teach photography at the Pratt Institute and she worked at the International Center for Photography in New York from 1982 until her death in July 2010.
A wide ranging and highly diverse collection, the Kleckner Papers document a life in art and activism. The diaries, letters, notes, and essays in the collection are augmented by hundreds of photographic prints and artwork in a variety of media.

Levasseur, Raymond Luc
Raymond Luc Levasseur Trial transcripts, 1989.
Call no.: MS 334
For over a decade, the radical United Freedom Front waged a concerted revolutionary campaign, confronting U.S. imperialism in Central America, apartheid, and other issues. Led by Raymond Luc Levasseur (b. 1940), the UFF carried out a string of bank robberies and bombings in the northeast, usually providing forewarning to avoid casualties. On November 4, 1984, following an intense nationwide manhunt, the FBI succeeded in apprehending Levasseur and his wife Patricia Gros near Deerfield, Ohio, and within a year, most of the remaining members of the UFF were under arrest. Levasseur and six of his comrades were eventually sentenced to long terms for the robberies and bombings and (two of them) for the death of a New Jersey state trooper. The government's attempt in 1989 to bring charges of seditious conspiracy and violations of the RICO act, however, ended in an acquittal on most charges and a hung jury on the rest. Having served nearly half of his 45 year sentence, Levasseur was released from prison in November 2004.
The Levasseur Collection consists of the complete transcripts of the 1989 sedition trial of the "Ohio Seven" (US v. Levasseur).

A few things you need to know about Chicago Department of Transportation Commissioner Gabe Klein:
As the Tribune's John McCarron wrote last month, in an article titled "Chicago's war on cars":
We're going to reinstall bus lanes on already-choked streets in the heart of the Loop. And if that doesn't work, well, you can just rent one of the city's new bicycles and pedal wherever you like. It's all very heart-healthy and New Age. The city advises that the bike docking stations will be solar powered.
McCarron is right that there's a war on cars on Chicago. As he points out, "the mayor's 2012 budget jacks up the tax on downtown parking garages, parking meter violations and vehicle stickers. His main legislative win in Springfield is getting state permission to set electronic speed traps all over town."
But Chicago's war on cars began under the Daley Administration, with the installation of red light cameras and the sale of the parking meter concession to Morgan Stanley. Those are the two factors that, at least for me, made driving in the city an intolerable financial risk, and inspired me to buy a bicycle, so I can run errands without worrying about tickets. Having inherited such an anti-car city, Emanuel was right to hire a cycling advocate to run CDOT.
It is indeed a new age of transportation in Chicago, but Gabe Klein didn't initiate it.

Jason Walker's profile on Ceramics Now Magazine - View his works
Jason Walker's ceramic sculptures offer narrative in both two- and three-dimensional forms. Walker's painted porcelain tells part of a story depicted also by the object and the actions it may be committing. While the relationship between nature and technology are common themes touched about by Walker, some more recent pieces seem more sociological. Ideologies aside, the sheer skill and technique involved is also worthy of note.
"The culture I live in does not emphasize our physical connection and dependence on nature. The current ideology is reliant upon technology, and it promotes disembodied activity such as television [and] computers… The gap between man-made and natural is ever increasing.
Light bulbs, plugs, power-lines and pipes that grow from the earth are common images found in my work, juxtaposed with birds, insects, and organic matter such as leaves and trees. Similar to the thinking of the Hudson River School of painting, I attempt to portray nature's vastness and human-kind as a small proponent of it. Yet I draw the small things of nature large and the huge creations of man small. I want to show how we influence the landscape, or nature. My ideas stem from my own experiences bicycle touring, backpacking and the daily hikes I take with my dog." Jason Walker

LOVE! I came across this the other day and it I've decided to take a similar photo with Fillmore. I love the quote that goes with it:
"A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, big or small, young or old. He doesn't care if you're not smart, not popular, not a good joke-teller, not the best athlete, nor the best-looking person. To your dog, you are the greatest, the smartest, the nicest human being who was ever born. You are his friend and protector… "

Part of the downtown Austin skyline view from my apt. Gorgeous sunrise.
Coffee Braised Short Ribs from South Congress Cafe. So delicious.
Would it be slightly ridiculous if I purchase these? I really enjoy them.
Want! Super cute way to keep your desk organized.
I decided to share photos of some of the dishes I cooked up this week. I typically cook up 4 dishes on Sunday afternoon or evening to carry me through most of the lunches and dinners for the week. The only meals/days I do not cook for are Friday and Saturday since, and that's because husband and I try to grab our meals out at some of our favorite restaurants. Some nights we'll stay in an cook something together, albeit most of the work is done by yours truly.
A huge flock of grackles greeted me this morning. These birds are ubiquitous in Austin. You typically see large flocks of them flying together, or lined up along buildings and electric lines around sunrise and sunset.
When husband and I made the decision to move to Texas in June 2010, I never imagined we'd find ourselves considering staying and calling this place home. No firm decisions have been made to date, but our day-to-day conversations about our future state of residency seems to suggest we may stay. The one thing Texas has going for it is that it's still relatively affordable to live here.
Now, I say that with some hesitation because I'm currently renting in a high-rise in the middle of downtown ATX and I'm paying just as much for my this place as I did in downtown San Diego for a unit that's relatively comparable in size. While my current building offers more amenities than my building in San Diego, it's kind of hard to justify the cost similarities between the 2 cities. I also believe some of the units in the more expensive buildings cost just as much as a mid-range 1BR/1BA in San Francisco's Marina district — for those of you who aren't familiar, we're talking in the $1,900-$2,400 range.
But, generally speaking, the cost of living in ATX is pretty affordable and it makes for pretty comfortable living when you're in a DINK (dual-income, no kids) situation.
Cost of living, however, is not the only reason for staying and I'll write a little more on this topic at a later date.

TEAMS: Mississippi Rebels
David Kamara's de-commitment from Clemson last night has the recruiting world buzzing this morning about where he will land—most are assuming he plans to wait on Robert Nkemdiche to find out. Kamara confirmed his de-commit to 247Sports and Rebels247 Tuesday night. Communicating via Facebook, he told Rebels247, "I'm not naming anybody a leader right now." Based on previous actions, he really doesn't have to. Kamara committed to Clemson. Robert Nkemdiche followed. Nkemdiche de-committed from Clemson. Kamara followed. Nkemdiche visited Ole Miss in July. Kamara came with him, though he was hesitant to confirm those reports at the time. Nkemdiche visited Ole Miss last weekend. Kamara came with him. All the conventional wisdom in the world suggests that Ole Miss is the leader for Robert Nkemdiche, the nation's top-rated recruit. Draw your own conclusion about where David Kamara stands tonight.
