Whenever I see a North Dakota State University fan hold up a sign that says, "Bring On 'Bama!", I cringe. The difference between the top team in the Football Championship Subdivision and the top team in the Football Bowl Subdivision, Alabama University, is vast.
Think Pacific Ocean vast. With that being said, there are
some similarities between these two teams. Both have
one won back-to-back national championships
and both have lost a conference game on their way to the title.
Both teams play a similar style of football that relies
on ball control, clock management and solid defense. Both teams feature
quarterbacks that have done nothing special
accept except win games since they were
Also, both teams play in the premier conference in their division, with Alabama playing in the Southeastern Conference and NDSU in the Missouri Valley Football Conference.
With NDSU having a big game this weekend coming up against 15th ranked Youngstown State University, I took some time to look and see how both Alabama and NDSU have fared against ranked opponents in the last two plus seasons.
The Bison have played 16 games in the last two years against ranked opponents, winning all 16 games, while the Crimson Tide have played 14, going 12-2 in those games.
The Bison have won by an average score of 27-11 in ranked games while Alabama has won by an average score of 34-15. The Tide are 8-2 in road and neutral games featuring a ranked opponent while NDSU is 6-0 in road and neutral games.
Finally, both teams have lost only two games in the last
two plus seasons and both of those losses
game came at home against a conference
team. Granted, the quality of ranked opponents that Alabama is taking on is
much greater than the quality of ranked opponent NDSU is playing.
Even so, it is worth noting how good both these teams are when the stage is at its biggest and brightest.

The Benefits of Well-Rested Produce
In 400 BCE, the Greek admiral Androsthenes wrote of a tree that
"opens together with the rising sun … and closes for the night. And the country-dwellers say that it goes to sleep."
Over the next 2000 years, researchers discovered that the daily cycles first observed by Androsthenes fall into 24-hour periods similar to our own cycles of waking and sleeping. In plants, these circadian rhythms help control everything from the time a plant flowers to its ability to adapt to cold weather. Plants can even use their internal clocks to do arithmetic calculations to budget their energy supplies through the night.
But what happens when part of a plant is harvested for food? In a recent study, researchers at Rice University and UC Davis showed that cabbages can exhibit circadian rhythms as long as a week after harvest. Read more…

Reader Comments (Page 1 of 1)
What maniraptor said is probably the main reason you see us referred to as "adventurers". It's very DnD, very classic - and, it's also very old hat. Besides, why would anyone send in some band of "adventurers" to take down gods, entire armies, and ancient evils?
They wouldn't.
What they WOULD send would be a squad of the Horde's/Alliance's best, brightest, and most skilled fighters to lead the charge, against all impossible odds, and take down the most powerful and influential members of the enemy ranks. After all, in nearly every end game instance we've got the weight of the world (of warcraft) on our shoulders, and little more than our own strength and resolve to guide us through.
I'll be damned if I ever let a squad of "adventurers" handle that task.

Allegiant will charge for carry-on bags
Allegiant Air, which offers flights to leisure destinations through the Youngstown-Warren Regional Airport, has instituted a new baggage policy.
The policy now requires customers to either stow their carry-on bag below the seat in front of them or pay $15 to $35 to stow it overhead.
Carry-on fees will be $15 on most routes, the company said, but Dan Dickten, director of aviation at the local airport, said he didn't know what the fee would be for flights here.
Allegiant becomes the second airline to charge for carry-on bags.
The maximum $35 fee will be for passengers who pay their fees at the airport. The lower prices will be charged for fees paid during the booking process. Previous bookings will not be affected.
According to an email from Allegiant, the maximum size for a carry-on that will fit under the seat is 7 inches high by 15 inches wide by 16 inches deep. Examples are purses, briefcases, laptops etc. Allegiant said.
Carry-on bags that can go in the overhead bin, which now cost up to $35, can be no larger than 9 inches high by 14 inches wide by 22 inches deep and have a maximum weight of 25 pounds. Examples are roll-aboard bags, garment bags etc., Allegiant said.
Checked bags cost $15 to $35 and can be up to 80 linear inches (meaning total of height, width and depth) and up to 40 pounds, Allegiant said.
Dickten said the bottom line regarding Allegiant is that it's "still a good service. It's still a good deal."
Dickten added that he is in talks with Allegiant regarding adding more flights to the local airport. It currently offers flights to Orlando/Sanford and St. Petersburg/ Clearwater in Florida and Myrtle Beach, S.C.
Those low prices start to become not so low after awhile!
They bait ya and then they got ya. I do not blame the airlines. We americans have ruined all good things. People have been abusing the carrying procedure for years and not checking any bags at all. It creates a jam up while boarding as flyers try and squeeze their over stuffed bag above them, sometimes taking more than their required space...Oh by the way, why would they add fllights. I am leaving out of Akron Airtrain to Orlando for the same price now as out of Youngstown, and I get to pick when I want to go. Wake up flyers. It is not so cheap now.
Our base fares to Orlando and Tampa start out at least 40% LOWER than Southwest/AirTran at Akron-Canton, Cleveland, and Pittsburgh. That is a F-A-C-T.
Do the math and on most days, Allegiant will remain the cheaper option.
Continue to support your local airport!!!
In the past I have flown Allegiant Air several times for travel to Youngstown, Ohio. Let me just say that I have never been a great proponent of this lousy airline's service and obscene methods of squeezing every last nickel out of their customers ($10 for a reserved seat, $5 for priority boarding, $15 booking fee unless you book at the airport, $2 for a glass of water in flight, etc., etc. etc), however, due to the convenience of flying directly to Youngstown, I capitulated and used Allegiant, even though the fares aren't as low as everyone thinks.
Just for example, on my most recent trip to Youngstown, March 21, 2012, to attend a funeral, the fare was $178.79 (not that attractive for a one way ticket). The fare for the return flight would have cost me $215.00 on Allegiant Air. So instead of caving in to this ridiculous fare, as well as their crummy service, I opted to use a shuttle service to drive to Pittsburgh ($32.40 plus a $5 tip for the driver) and flew back to Tampa on United Airlines for $124.10 for a grand total of $161.50 (I even had a free glass of orange juice on the plane).
Even though I never held this two-bit airline in high esteem, I have recommended Allegiant Air to friends and family because of the convenience, as mentioned above. So now, what do they do? Instead of improving service, they've decided to screw the customers out of more money by charging for carry on bags. But rest assured, their spokesman, Brian Davis has really shown how generous Allegiant Air can be by stating that passengers will be allowed to carry on a briefcase or a purse-- FOR FREE.
You can bet that I will never fly Allegiant Air again, nor will I recommend it to anybody.
Given Allegiant Air's arrogance, I doubt that it matters to them.

ST LOUIS, MO - OCTOBER 27: Colby Lewis #48 of the Texas Rangers pitches in the first inning during Game Six of the MLB World Series against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium on October 27, 2011 in St Louis, Missouri. (Photo by John G. Mabanglo-Pool/Getty Images)
As the great poet Sean Carter might have written, "I got 99 problems, but a hip ain't one."
That's what Colby Lewis is probably thinking as he prepares to be the Texas Rangers' Opening Day starter in less than two weeks when the Rangers host the Chicago White Sox on April 6.
Lewis, 32, has been a workhorse for the Rangers the past two seasons since coming from Japan and looks to be the same for the team this season. Oh, and he's also been, by far, the Rangers' best postseason pitcher the past two seasons, which by default has to make him the best in franchise history.
"I've dealt with it and will deal with it as I have," Lewis told ESPN Dallas. "I don't even know what to call it. But I know how to deal with it. Why even talk about it? I just deal with it. It doesn't concern me."
Lewis struggled through the regular season last year, putting up a 4.40 ERA and leading the league with 35 home runs allowed, but he once again flipped the switch for the postseason, bringing his two-year postseason numbers to 4-1 with a 2.34 ERA.
He's the ceremonial Opening Day starter, though he likely won't be the team's No. 1, and he deserves the honor for what he's done the past two years, especially in Octobers.

AboutDevelopment blog for the student game project "Full Moon Manor"
Hello visitors, I feel it necessary at this point to give an update as to the fate of team Down for Maintenance.
Half of the team graduated from our school last quarter, causing development on the game to slow massively. The biggest development we have made recently is that we decided at the last minute to change the level building pipeline in order to solve a slowdown problem we were having that made the game nearly unplayable. The good news is that this trick worked and the levels now run silky-smooth and as an added bonus, are split up into smaller modular assets that we can quickly build more levels with.
The other large bit of news is that the majority of the FMM core team was picked up by Facebook games developer The Broth here in San Francisco. They seemed impressed with our project, and even more impressed with the way our team gelled together very well. Six members of the team are now working together at The Broth(with more possibly coming on soon), and we feel very lucky to be able to continue working with one another! We look forward to expanding The Broth's games and incorporating as much of our unique flavor into our future games as possible.
What does this mean for the future of FMM? As of now our plans are just to polish up the demo to have an increasingly good-looking project on our demo reels, and hopefully release the game to the public in one form or another.
Stay tuned for updated media of the latest build, and thanks for checking out our project!
-Anders H.
Hey there, Anders here. The FMM team is all geared up and ready to go to GDC, I have the build in my hot little hands (weird expression, I will avoid it in the future). I will post video of the build in a couple of days.
But to keep the interest going among our fans (all 8 of you), today I would like to share our progress on some of the music being made for Full Moon Manor because we're super mega excited about the new music coming out. As Josh (Kulinski, Lead Designer) said, "now I have to make my models better to do justice to the music !"
Backstory: Josh works with our Musician, Ian Buczkowski at their day job and got Ian all excited about FMM by rambling on about how great it is day after day (I assume this is how it happened). Ian it turns out is a Berklee trained musician and signed up to do our music and sound effects.
Since then Ian has churned out some very professional music for us and dealt with our noobish requests at how the music should sound: "Castlevania crossed with Castlecrashers!" "Horror/ Fantasy / Electronic !"
In the process some very good music that didn't quite fit the feel we were aiming for was created, but I'd like to share a couple of Ian's latest FMM themes with you today. Keep in mind these are still works in progress:
FMM Theme 1: Slower, Intense. Perhaps for boss or menu music.
FMM Theme 2: Up tempo, with more electronic elements. Bingo! Level music!
We've been listening to these tunes non-stop because we're so in love with them =) I have high hopes for even more awesome music in the future. Thanks Ian !
So the ScreenBurn competition has come and gone, and sadly we did not win. Anders and Debbie both did a great job, but Sloppy Ice came out and top (congratulations to Gwen and her team).
We want to thank everyone who supported us leading up to the contest.
I enjoyed preparing for the competition, but I'm glad that it's over so that we can go back to focusing on developing the game. It's coming along really nicely.
Ding ! Full Moon Manor is now a finalist in the SXSW Game Design Competition.
As for the game itself, Jeff is hacking like mad to get a playable demo in time for SXSW and GDC. Stay tuned for more updates and screenshots.
Jeff here
I've been working on getting the cages loaded in, and they're looking pretty good.
Right now you can't see the back of Mars' or Velvet's cages because they're just polygon planes with a texture. That should be pretty easy to fix by flipping some normals.
Snicker's cage presents a slightly more difficult challenge because it's a rotating sphere. Right now I faked the back of the cage by using a second sphere, but later I might create a shader that does double sided rendering so that we can see the back of the sphere.

A car crash caused a light pole to fall and kill a 25-year-old man on Thursday. Police say two cars collided near 15th Avenue and McDowell, causing one of the cars to spin into a light pole.The light pole then came crashing down and hit a 25-year-old man. Officers are still trying to work out what happened during the crash, but they believe the man was walking and didn't see the accident occur. Two of the people in the cars were taken to a hospital with non-life threatening injuries and two others stayed at the scene.
The pedestrian's name hasn't been released.

Joseph Reveals Himself
Joseph reveals himself to his brothers royalty free Images in high resolution from our huge image library, free to use. Royalty free pictures of Jesus Christ.
"I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt."
So ten brothers of Joseph went down a second time to Egypt. Benjamin going in place of Simeon. They came to Joseph's office, the place where he sold grain to the people; and they stood before their brother, and bowed as before. Joseph saw that Benjamin was with them, and he said to his steward, the man who was over his house: "Make ready a dinner, for all these men shall dine with me today."
When Joseph's brothers found that they were taken into Joseph's house, they were filled with fear; they said to each other: "We have been taken here on account of the money in our sacks. They will say that we have stolen it; and then they will sell us all for slaves."

This is the view up the hill from where we stayed near Petra - it's a village called Taybet Zaman. The hotel is actually the old village buildings refurbished; those buildings were abandoned when people moved up the hill to more modern housing with electricity and so on. You're looking at the modern village in this photo.

Gemini man boasts of having multiple personality traits and characteristics. Read this article to know more about Gemini man.
Famous Gemini Men
Have you ever heard of the phrase, two sides of the same coin? If yes, then it would come in handy while you attempt to understand a Gemini guy, for guys born under this zodiac sign have dual and sometimes even multiple personalities to them. They have a mystic quality to their being which is difficult to trace from far. Only when you get close to a Gemini would you understand his different traits and characteristics. Gemini men love to make friends and gel well with almost everyone. But they have a tendency of moving over old friends to make newer ones. This is due to their constant need for discovering new and latest things. Ruled by the Twin, the conflicting energies of a Gemini male leaves his lover confused for most parts of the life. Love him or hate him for this, but that is how he is! To be with a Gemini, you need to be a free thinker, a radical person who is willing to see things from different angles. Once he finds you interested in his differential world of change, the two of you would definitely make a love connection. Remember, the more surprising and spontaneous you are, the more he will love you!

Gemini Man Personality Traits & Characteristics
The Bright Side
If regularity and routine is not your cup of tea, then Gemini man is the one who would best suit your desires. For rest, staying a little distant from this sun sign would be an ideal option. The word 'change' perfectly defines a Gemini guy. For, not a single Gemini guy is the same on two occasions or even two consecutive days. Popularly known for their multiple personality, Gemini's have a tendency to display different traits. However, there are a few factors that remain constant with Gemini guys. Gemini men believe in sharing. So, right from money to knowledge, happiness to sadness, a Gemini would share almost everything with his associates. Most Gemini men are friendly and sociable. Interestingly, they get along well with almost everyone and have no ego issues. They love to be in crowd and are scared when lonely. A Gemini man wins the heart of his lady love with his intelligent yet witty talks. His brilliant conversational skills help him to talk his way into any opportunity or out of any tight spot. It wouldn't be wrong to say that in a party, it is the Gemini guy who infuses life and blood and makes the party enjoyable and entertaining. The best way to deal with a Gemini guy is keep the guessing game on. For, if he discovers you completely, he'll be on for the next girl in his life!
The Dark Side
If you happen to have studied psychology, you would be well aware of the concept of dissociative identity disorder. For others, here's a brief. Popularly known as split personality disorder or multiple personality disorder, it is a condition in which a person displays two or more split identities. Now, you may be wondering what has that to do with a Gemini guy? Well, nothing literally and everything personally. Confused? Well, the prime or foremost characteristic feature of a Gemini man is his multiple personality. He can be the sweetest person on Earth one day, but the very next day, don't be surprised if he turns as cold as ice. So, if a Gemini guy compliments you today for your lovely voice, the next day don't expect the same. What's more, he can even turn into your worst critic as well. But the third day, he has the capability of winning back your love by his gentle nature so much so that you may feel like a queen. Stability, consistency and regularity are terms that stand nowhere in the dictionary of a Gemini guy. However, if you are game to his quirkiness, life can be full of interesting surprises for you. You will be waking up with a different man each day (not literally!), though the change may be for the better. The cue to deal with a Gemini man is to stay a little distant from him. Just remember, Gemini men have a personal side which they share with none, including their lover.
Romance Quotient
Before you hit the road to love with a Gemini guy, note that he isn't one of those who would constantly comfort or reassure you. For, he is too restless or fidgety to succour anyone. Symbolized with the Twins, Gemini men are lovers of change. But that does not mean they cannot stay committed to a single relationship. Once committed, Gemini men are loyal to their lovers in a compartmentalized segment of their mind. But you need to understand that there are multiple compartments in the mind of a Gemini. As long as you are mystery that he loves to unfold, the Gemini would be interested in you. But once, he discovers that there is nothing new to you, he will be tempted to look elsewhere. Boredom and monotony also makes a Gemini guy run away from the relationship. The key to keep the Gemini man be yours forever is to never reveal everything to him. The thrill of discovering newer aspects of you would make him highly interested in you.
Intelligent and brainy woman are a turn on for Gemini men. Since they are not egoistic people, they love women who are mentally strong and receptive. A Gemini man would never mind if you defeat him at his mind games every now and then, in fact he will be thrilled at getting an intelligent partner-cum-competitor. In fact, a Gemini man always looks for a female who can match up with him and give him a tough competition. Also, a female who is as curious and excited as he is about the different aspects of life would lure a Gemini guy. While a Gemini guy does not commit soon to a relationship, once he does, he does so with complete faith and loyalty and expects the same from his partner. He is too idealistic to indulge in any sort of adultery. Once in a while, he may throw admiring glances at people but that is just about it. He wouldn't go any further than this. But if you cast a suspicious stare at him every now and then, he might be tempted to do what didn't even think of doing before. The only way to best deal with a Gemini male is to let him have his independence and freedom. Also, assure him that you'll be by his side always, but not get too close or dependent of him. Once this is done, he would walk a thousand miles with you without even looking back for once!

ATLANTA -- Rookie Mike Scott scored 17 points, Lou Williams and Ivan Johnson had 13 apiece and the Atlanta Hawks beat the depleted Dallas Mavericks 110-94 in a preseason game on Saturday night.
The Mavericks were without star forward Dirk Nowitzki and centre Chris Kaman, who both stayed home to recover from injuries. Rookie Jae Crowder scored 15 for Dallas, and Vince Carter had 13.
Hawks centre Al Horford didn't return for the second half after he was bothered by a sore right calf. He had four points and two rebounds in 14 minutes.
Nowitzki, an 11-time All-Star, could miss the next six weeks with a right knee injury. Kaman, who signed as a free agent in July, is out with a strained right calf muscle.

Dashing hopes: Here comes the fiscal cliff
Here we are just a few days away from the new year, or as it is known in Washington this year, the "fiscal cliff." If a deal is not struck before Monday night, $500 billion worth of tax hikes and spending cuts (mostly tax hikes) will go into effect. What have the good folks we elected to manage our national affairs been doing lately to avoid that economically harmful scenario? Nothing.
President Obama flew to Hawaii and went golfing. On Thursday, it was reported that he had spoken to neither House Speaker John Boehner nor Sen. Harry Reid for days. Boehner tried to pass a deal that would make true on Obama's pledge to raise taxes on "millionaires and billionaires. It would have kept the Bush-era tax rates for everyone who earns less than $1 million a year. But some Republicans thought that was too big a pill to swallow.
Harry Reid returned time and time again to the microphones to blame everything on Republicans. Never mind that he sent only one bill designed to embarrass them to the evil House Republicans to vote on.
Americans head into this weekend with hopes for a real economic recovery in the new year. Washington politicians enter it hoping to blame the other side for the inaction that prevents or delays that real recovery. Happy New Year.

Xeriscape turf & alternatives
Is Colorado a desert? Not quite, but almost. Moist areas along the Front Range receive about 15 inches of precipitation a year. And Kentucky bluegrass, the type of lawn most commonly grown here, grows best on 30 or more inches of moisture a year. That means you'll need to apply an additional 15 inches of water a year to successfully grow your bluegrass lawn. Such use places a high demand on water -a limited resource vital to Colorado.
Lawns offer many benefits, and it makes sense to plant grass where it's appropriate. Lawns anchor soil against wind and water erosion, and provide a safe surface on which children and adults can play and hold sporting events. Lawns also offer landscape variety when mixed with trees, shrubs and other plants.
However, in some situations, lawns simply aren't practical. Lawns located on steep slopes or narrow strips, in the shade, and in areas that receive heavy foot traffic are poor choices. Instead, consider terraced flower beds on slopes, ground-cover plants in narrow strips, perennials or shrubs for shady areas, and a patio, flagstone path or sidewalk for heavily traveled areas.
Where lawns are appropriate, consider a substitute grass that grows well with less water. Water-thrifty buffalo grass works well in out-of-the-way expanses of a property. Dark green turf-type tall fescue grows deep roots and requires less irrigation when planted on well-prepared soils. Tall fescue also tolerates wear and tear from children playing. In the right location, buffalo grass and turf-type tall fescue will beautify any landscape.
Planting a yard means more than painting a carpet of green grass from property line to property line. Consider the impact your plant choices have on water supplies and the state's environment. Choose the appropriate turf and turf alternatives.

Tacos Al Pastor, Tacos All Day
The next time you are celebrating Cinco de Mayo, plan ahead and dine out. If you don't want to deal with the crowds, stay home and order in. Do not attempt to make this wonderful dish from Mark Miller as it involves far too many steps and uses many ingredients. Yes, it will transport your senses as if you are standing in line at one of the taqueros in Puebla, but do you want to cut into your tequila shot time by cooking this yourself? I didn't think so. But if you do, prepare yourself for a two-day exercise. It is epic. Good luck taco lovers.
From Mark Miller's Tacos. Makes 24 tacos.
- 20 dried guajillo chilies
- 20 dried ancho chilies
- 20 dried pasilla negro chilies
- 2 ½ cups fresh orange juice
- Grated zest of 1 orange
- 1/3 cup firmly packed dark brown sugar
- 9 cloves garlic
- 1 ½ tablespoons cumin seeds, toasted and ground
- 1 ½ tablespoons dried Mexican Oregano, toasted and ground
- 1 ½ tablespoons kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon black pepper
- 1 ½ tablespoons distilled vinegar
- 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
- 6 ounces cola
- 8 ounces Mexican beer
- 4 pounds pork shoulder, cut into ½ inch cubes
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 24 soft white corn tortillas
Garnish: caramelized diced pineapple
- Stem, seed and rehydrate the dried chilies in warm water for 20 minutes. Drain and set aside, reserving the soaking liquid
- In a small saucepan, simmer the orange juice over medium-low heat until reduced by half and set aside
- Using a blender, puree the rehydrated chilies until smooth, adding some of the soaking water if needed, to achieve smooth consistency
- In a large bowl, add the reduced orange juice, pureed chilies, orange zest, brown sugar, garlic, cumin, oregano, salt, black pepper, vinegar, limejuice, cola and beer and stir to mix well. Add the pork, cover and marinate in the fridge overnight.
- When ready to cook, remove the pork from the marinade and drain well. In a large heavy skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
- Sauté the pork pieces until the meat is cooked through, about 7 minutes. Remove from heat and serve right away or keep warm in the pan until ready to serve.
- I added pineapple pieces to the pan when I began cooking the pork. This gave the pineapple a chance to caramelize and pick up the pork flavor.
- I wanted to tenderize the pork a little further so I added about 1 cup of water to the pan (see picture) and braised until the liquid evaporated. It also gave me a chance to down more tequila.
Suggested Pairing: tequila, Mexican beer, and hot sauce. Ariba!

When a 3-year old boy drowned in a back-yard swimming pool, families in Christ the King Parish in Lombard, IL, were distraught.
"These types of tragedies catch us by surprise, and people are not always able to deal with the consequences," says Rev. Mike Ideran, Director of Interfaith Parish Support Services, an Alexian Brothers Health System ministry that provides school social workers, counseling and other services to local congregations.
Mickey Tovey, principal of Christ the King Parish School, contacted Mariann Smith, an IPSS social worker assigned part-time to the school, to tell her about the accident and to request assistance with grief counseling for the school's 100 students and their families. "A lot of the students I work with knew the family," Smith says. "A lot of the 6th, 7th and 8th graders baby-sat for the family."
IPSS quickly mobilized a team to help the parish cope with the tragedy. Smith and Rita Rippentrop, head of the IPSS counseling program, comforted parishioners at the child's wake, and Smith later helped Tovey put together a letter and information kit, which the principal sent to the school's families soon after the accident.
The kit included a list of books on grief that parents could read to their children, advice about talking with children about death and grieving, and a list of Web sites for additional information and advice.
Meanwhile, Smith and Rippentrop collaborated with Rev. Jim Christian, IPSS Community Chaplain, and Monika Chiappetta, head of the IPSS school social work program, to plan and organize a group grief counseling session for parishioners. The session was publicized in the information kit distributed by Tovey.
Nearly 20 people attended the session, which occurred in the parish center about 10 days after the child's death. The IPSS team spoke with the group as a whole, and the group later broke into small groups for additional discussions and counseling.
"They talked about the nature of grief and why an entire congregation might grieve the loss of a little one," Ideran says. "They also discussed a grief of faith, where almost everybody asks 'How come? Why is this?', and looks at God for an answer, although there is no explaining a tragedy like this.
"It presents a crisis on many levels. It's a spiritual crisis, an emotional crisis. That's why we provide a team of people who understand all the aspects of grief being faced, so they can address the grief theologically as well as emotionally. If necessary, they also know where to send people to deal with the physical consequences of grief."
With a new school year approaching, Smith also was developing a presentation to the school's teachers on helping students cope with grief, and was planning to monitor students carefully for signs that they might need individual grief counseling.
Father Peter Zarocz, the pastor of the parish, Tovey, other parish staff and parish families are "ecstatic" with the support provided by IPSS, Ideran says.
"We were there to support not only the students, but Mickey and the rest of the staff," says Smith, who also serves as a part-time social worker for IPSS at two other parish schools. "This is what we do. It goes right along with the Alexian Brothers' way of ministering and community outreach."

Sports Fan Insider
(KCBS) – The Giants weren't number one until the end of World Series Game Five. The Packers weren't number one until the last play of the Super Bowl. So John asks why Kansas was number one in the middle of the college basketball season. Kansas State asked the same question, ending the Jayhawks brief reign last night.
John recalls his first meeting in St. Louis with baseball legend Stan Musial, who will be honored with the Medal of Freedom by President Obama. Madden likes the plan to extend Albert Pujols' Cardinals contract deadline out of respect for Musial's special day.
With so little time now between the end of football and the start of baseball, John asks if sports fans can do without basketball.
And yes, Jesse, Super Bowl Sunday is a holiday.

Seaside Tomato Gazpacho
From EatingWell: July/August 2013
Though gazpacho originated as a soup made with bread, today tomato gazpacho recipes are often made with diced vegetables, tomato juice and seasonings, and no bread at all. It's a different approach, but one that's just as delicious, especially with a little seaside flair from Old Bay seasoning and lobster or shrimp floated on top. If you don't have time to cook lobster, buy precooked lobster or ask at the fish counter to have it cooked while you wait.
Makes: 6 appetizer servings (1 cup each) or 4 entree servings (1 1/2 cups each)

HARTSELLE — Hartselle High School senior Nick Watson said his heart was beating as he huddled with classmates Wednesday to learn whether their scientific payload could someday fly in a NASA space mission.
He later said a "gigantic weight" had been lifted from his shoulders as his peers hoisted a trophy for taking first place at the InSPIRESS competition, hosted Monday by the University of Alabama in Huntsville and NASA.
Watson, who plans to study aerospace engineering after graduation in May, said the recognition by UAH and NASA helped him reach one of life's milestones.
"I've literally never won anything in my life," he said. "There's been a lot of stress trying to get the payload as perfect as we can. ... I feel like the door to a successful career has just opened wide."
The senior-level engineering students, who didn't place in last year's competition, will travel to Washington, D.C., in March, where they will present their findings to Jim Green, director of planetary science for NASA.
Their payload design also will be submitted for use in a space mission.
Michael Powell, 18, said it was a surreal experience to win his six-team division, which UAH engineer P.J. Benfield described as the most competitive. There were 28 total Alabama teams.
"It's a relief because they told us Monday they wouldn't come here unless we had won something, and finding out," Powell stopped to take a breath, " ... is a wonderful feeling."
Inspired by the computer game Angry Birds, the class calls itself ANGGRI BIRD, an acronym for Analyzing the Native Geology of Ganymede as a Result of Intrusion By an Impactor to Receive Data.
To prepare for the competition, the team last month conducted an ice experiment, which involved shooting pellets into ice sheets to observe the size and shape of the debris field. The group used ice because the surface of Ganymede, a moon of Jupiter and the largest moon in the solar system, is frozen.
Kimberly Pittman, the students' science teacher, said the team developed a poster, T-shirt, brochure, booth and digital presentation to accompany the scientific payload.
"It's almost like being a parent," she said. "I'm proud of them and have watched them grow and develop skills. ... To go from not having those skills to being the best at it is very gratifying."
The group took first place for its payload concept proposal, second place for its booth at UAH's open house and first place for its presentation before NASA employees and scientists at Marshall Space Flight Center.
Chris Brown, 17, who served as the group's head of engineering, doesn't mind giving up his spring break in March to show off the payload to top NASA officials in Washington.
Brown said he is humbled that his class project, once just a concept, will be considered for a future NASA mission within the next decade.
"Most kids can't say that," he said. "If it is selected — that would be really mind-blowing."

Where are you from?
Montclair, VA
Why did you decide to come to FGCU?
I decided to attend FGCU because I thought it looked so new and I really liked the idea of a beach on campus. The residence halls also drew me in because of how welcoming and friendly the students and staff were.
What do you most enjoy doing in your spare time?
Whenever I can find the time, I enjoy going to the pool next to my residence hall. It is so convenient and an awesome time when I get friends to come over to spend the day outside.
