The Georgia Guidestones & The Great Reset
Do you remember years ago when videos were popping up about Agenda 21 or Agenda 2030? I specifically remember watching them and thinking – okay, you know, interesting videos, cool topic, but that cant…it won't happen, and I left it at that.
So, I was trying to find an entertaining way to do this topic instead of just going through the World Economic Forum's website, and I am going to start off with a different theory that some believe are associated with The Great Reset…but as you will see; this doesn't mean the information is false – you should look into it for yourself because this plan is currently moving forward and it will impact all of our lives if completed. So tonight's topic is the great reset.
So, as I previously stated, some believe that the Georgia Guidestones allude to this plan, and after researching it, I am leaning towards this conclusion.
On one of the highest hilltops in Elbert County, Georgia, stands a massive granite monument. The four giant stones that support the common capstone are comprised of 10 "commandments" that are engraved in eight different languages.
The messages engraved on the Georgia Guidestones deal with four major fields:
(1) Governance and the establishment of a world government,
(2) Population and reproduction control,
(3) The environment and man's relationship to nature, and
(4) Spirituality.
THE MESSAGE OF THE GEORGIA GUIDESTONES
1. Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
2. Guide reproduction wisely – improving fitness and diversity. AKA Eugenics
3. Unite humanity with a living new language.
4. Rule passion – faith – tradition – and all things with tempered reason.
5. Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6. Let all nations rule internally, resolving external disputes in a world court.
7. Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8. Balance personal rights with social duties.
9. Prize truth – beauty – love – seeking harmony with the infinite.
10. Be not a cancer on the earth – Leave room for Nature – Leave room for nature.
Some may be thinking that some of those commandments actually sound reasonable, like avoid petty laws and useless officials libertarians would appreciate that one or who doesn't want to seek harmony with the infinite? However, that is not the point. The point is how enforcement is handled and who has control of the reigns. It is similar to the old adage regarding communist regimes. They all believe they will be righteous enough to pull it off and build the utopia, but with human nature – that is impossible. Greed and lust for power always find a way to corrupt. Once you give away your personal freedoms…you are never going to get them back.
The origin of that strange monument is shrouded in mystery because no one knows the true identity of the man, or men, who commissioned its construction. All that is known for sure is that in June 1979, a well-dressed, articulate stranger visited the office of the Elberton Granite Finishing Company and announced that he wanted to build an edifice to transmit a message to mankind.
He identified himself as R. C. Christian, but it soon became apparent that was not his real name. He said that he represented a group of men who wanted to offer direction to humanity, but to date, no one knows who R. C. Christian really was or the names of those he represented.
Some believed the mysterious R.C Christian is a clever name derived from the Rosicrucian's.
Some believe the mysterious individual is Ted Turner, especially after his history of bizarre comments came to light...
Recently this has been put on the main stage with many leaders talking about the reset, including Canadian prime minister Justin Tradaue...
The most concerning "commandment of the guide stones is the very first one - Limiting the earth's population to 500 million will require the extermination of nine-tenths of the world's people.
With bill gates involved in the current situation, many question his motives…especially when says things like this...
Just for clarification, the WHO came out and said that the lockdowns alone will cause 250 million people to starve to death due to the economic windfall of the drastic changes.
Yet still, lock-downs are promoted, and if you look at the numbers – the solution seems to be worse than the problem. But the lock-downs provide the hopeful overlords to reset the entire socioeconomic status quo.
Now, this is far from a conspiracy theory…the elites – the political leaders of the world are all talking about it, and they have websites dedicated to it. Few know exactly how long this has been planned though I did a video based on the Rockefeller Foundation Document – America 2050 – The US Strategy for the next half-century. It was created in 2008 and has milestone years of 2020, 2025, 2030, and their end goal year is 2050.
https://neaufrgs.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/rockefeller-2050.pdf
Where have I heard someone talking about a 2050 deadline??
If this year is any indication…hopefully, we evade this reset and don't have to be subjugated to the next milestone year.
How interesting, though, everything is popping off in the first milestone year, too…just saying.
So, the great reset.
The World Economic Forum is leading the global march into "The Great Reset" with a design that would kill Capitalism and Free Enterprise, while establishing Sustainable Development, aka they are building a Technocracy.
What apparently most people commonly fail to see is that if the economic system is radically changed, then society's fundamental nature will change. Technocracy's coup d'etat is not supposed to be political – it is supposed to be economical! However, with the current Administration leaving the one-sided Paris Climate Accords and various other global agendas, it has become political. They must install a new administration to move forward with their reset.
One of the article's main themes was the WEF's 'Strategic Intelligence platform,' which the organization describes as a dynamic system of contextual intelligence that enables users to trace relationships and interdependencies between issues, supporting more informed decision-making.
Informed decision making is rather difficult, though when censorship is the law of the land…and they dictate what you are allowed to research and talk about
When you look into Strategic Intelligence, one aspect to it that quickly becomes apparent is how each global issue and industry intertwines with one another. For instance, Covid-19 is a strand of 'The Great Reset' and vice versa. What this does is create the impression that only a collectivized approach incorporating all 'stakeholders 'has the capacity to deal with crises on a global scale.
What this entails can be categorized into two parts. First are the seven leading objectives for achieving the reset. In no particular order, these are:
1. Shaping the Economic Recovery
2. Harnessing the Fourth Industrial Revolution
3. Strengthening Regional Development
4. Revitalizing Global Cooperation
5. Developing Sustainable Business Models
6. Restoring the Health of the Environment
7. Redesigning Social Contracts, Skills, and Jobs
- This is an excellent example of what they believe is the step forward -
"One of the roles of Parliament is to cast ahead … and tackle the great challenges of our time … The nature of the technologies is materially different to what has come before. In the past, we've thought of consumption as a one-off, and capital investment as additive.
Yet put resources into the networks that now connect half the world, or into AI, and the effects are exponential … I'm delighted to speak alongside so many impressive colleagues who really understand this, and alongside Professor Klaus Schwab who literally 'wrote the book' on the 4th Industrial Revolution.
Your work, bringing together as you do all the best minds on the planet, has informed what we are doing … Our Digital Strategy, embedded within the wider Industrial Strategy, sets out the seven pillars on which we can build our success.
And inside that fits our 5G strategy, like a set of Russian Dolls. Our Strategy covers infrastructure, skills, rules, and ethics of big data use, cybersecurity, supporting the tech sector, the digitization of industry, and digitization of government."
Journalist James Corbett breaks down the new social contract planned for the world
"The Great Reset not only ties you to it through an electronic ID linked to your bank account and health records but even gives you a "social credit" ID that can run every facet of your life."
As you may have seen…companies are already saying that you will need a biometric vaccine registration to go to events and various other social gatherings.
While the current pandemic is being used as a justification for the shift, the agenda obviously has nothing to do with health and everything to do with a long-term plan to monitor and control the world through global surveillance and draconian measures to restrict freedom. In other words, the world will be reset to depend on digital technocracy run by self-appointed elitists.
While Joe Biden, who was a fixture at the United Nations, recently called on his incoming Administration to strengthen financial ties with the United Nations.
In fact, Joe Biden's campaign slogan "Build Back Better" is a slogan he borrowed from the United Nations.
It's a power grab of unprecedented magnitude and involves the restructuring of social classes to dismantle democracy, erase national borders and allow for the governing of communities from a distance by a group of unelected leaders. The "new world order" is "the Great Reset." They are one and the same…the reset is the method to usher in the "new normal."
Ultimately, it's a technocratic agenda that seeks to integrate mankind into a technological surveillance apparatus overseen by powerful artificial intelligence. Ironically, while the real plan is to usher in a tech-driven dystopia free of democratic controls, they speak of this plan as a way to bring us back into harmony with nature.
Which brings us back to the Georgia Guidestones - Live In Harmony With Nature...
Who knows precisely how long this plan has been in the works, but after researching it, I get the feeling that they have been planning this for decades. Is it a coincidence that The Great Reset is very similar to the Commandments of the Georgia Guidestones? Maybe but despite that…this is far from a conspiracy theory. They are openly talking about, websites are dedicated to it, and we have political establishment figures in the United States who are supporting it.
Two Contradicting Articles
Please look into this for yourself…I will always promote doing your own research because as it sounds fantastical and even crazy, this is the push, this is the future they are planning, and based on what they themselves say…our futures will be tied to transhumanism, a world government, mass surveillance and mass censorship.
With ads such as this…
Does that sound like a future you want? With no recourse to change course because, of course, if we go down this path, our freedoms will no longer exist as the constitution and bill of rights won't have any impact in the world courts.
Just remember…we were warned.

Not here. Not on this removable grass field installed in 2006, which a team of engineers and helpers roll in and out of the air-conditioned stadium on a daily basis in an operation that takes a little more than an hour. Its home for most of the year is a vast expanse south of the stadium, just outside massive airplane hangar-style doors, where it is fed city water that soaks through layers of Bermuda grass, soil, sand, rock and, finally, an 11-year-old rubber membrane. The whole thing is due for a change-out this offseason, which is a shame, because Dawson's made some memories on it.
The Cardinals were the first team to crack camp on Saturday. The rest of the NFL follows suit over the next several days.
That lone blemish on his record in Glendale—a 24-yard miss on Dec. 29, 2013 (with the laces facing in, mind you)—was followed by a career-long-tying 56-yarder and a 40-yard game winner as time expired. The quarterback of the winning team was Colin Kaepernick. The head coach was Jim Harbaugh. Much has changed, but this sweet, 19-million pound baby crawling in front of Dawson never has.
Good morning. It's football season.
As I fill in for my boss Peter King, who is squeezing in one more week of vacation before returning next Monday, here's what's ahead: More on the Cardinals and what I think is the hardest non-quarterback job in the NFL, and the two men fighting tooth and nail for it; I take a shot at a pre-training camp Fine 15 complete with the No. 1 priority for all 32 teams over the next month; we'll also take stock of the stunning hypocrisy of a former superstar quarterback and run down my favorite reads of the NFL offseason.
But first, a check-in with the two teams whose success or failure will dictate the ambitions of the NFL for years to come.
Los Angeles, that elusive jewel of the west coast that saw two franchises flee in the '90s, now once again has two NFL franchises. A notoriously capricious community of fans will be expected to split its rooting interests between the Rams and the Chargers, two teams that combined for a 9–23 record last year.
For first-year head coaches Anthony Lynn (Chargers) and Sean McVay (Rams), it's win or go home. It's with this overarching sense of organizational urgency that the Raiders took to Los Angeles in 1982 following team owner Al Davis's public feud with the city of Oakland and NFL ownership at large. The Raiders coach then, Tom Flores, took a 7-9 team with aging stars to a city with little patience for losers and in short order identified the nucleus of a team that wouldn't have another losing season until 1987. Oh, and 1982 was a strike year.
Flores's team finished 8-1 in 1982, taking advantage of a number of circumstances these Rams and Chargers won't enjoy. He had a Super Bowl champion quarterback in Jim Plunkett, continuity on his coaching staff, veterans with playoff experience, and the benefit of a pre-internet existence ("There were a lot of things that happened that would end up on YouTube today, and honestly they would be pretty funny, if you're not running the team," Flores says.) The only thing either of these teams have in common with Flores's Raiders is the venue; the Rams will once again play in the cavernous 93,000-seat L.A. Memorial Coliseum. The Chargers will play at the 27,000-seat StubHub Center in Carson, home of Major League Soccer's Los Angeles Galaxy.
After minicamp in San Diego, Branden Albert and the Chargers make the move to Costa Mesa for the start of training camp Saturday.
• During OTAs this year, the former NFL running back turned Rex Ryan protégé turned first-time head coach told his team explicitly that no one was to hit the ground during team drills. Under no circumstances, Lynn said, should a tackler bring a ballcarrier to the ground during the non-padded practice. This is common practice during the non-padded portion of the NFL offseason, but rarely are there significant consequences for the occasional lapse. Mistakes happen. Men who weigh more than 200 pounds and run 40 yards in under five seconds often don't know their own strength.
• Lynn's new boss, 44-year-old general manager Tom Telesco, has long had a hand not only in roster building, but also in roster and depth chart organization. Where some GMs across the NFL are content to buy the groceries and let the head coach prepare the meal, Telesco is not. Former head coach Mike McCoy, himself a first-timer when the Chargers hired him in 2013, operated on those terms with Telesco until his firing after the 2016 season, the team's second losing campaign in a row. Lynn, on the other hand, has been more assertive from the get-go, intent to win or lose by his own design. It's been refreshing to many of those who have had a hand in the team's slip from 9-7 and a playoff berth in 2013 to the AFC West doormat.
Getting second-year quarterback Jared Goff on the same page with new coach Sean McVay will be a priority for the Rams during training camp.
The bigger unknown when it came to McVay's hiring was how his age (31) would translate into ability to lead and manage a football team of 53 egos and personalities on a middling franchise one year into relocating to the second-most populous city in the United States.
Andrew Whitworth took the leap of faith when he left the team that drafted him in 2006, the Bengals, to join the Rams at 35 years old on a three-year, $36 million contract to anchor an offensive line that allowed 49 sacks in 2016. Whitworth is one of two players on the roster who is older than McVay—who was a high school freshman quarterback running the triple option at Marist School in Atlanta when Whitworth was a redshirt freshman at LSU in 2001. Adding Whitworth may prove to be the best decision McVay and GM Les Snead have made early in the process of turning around the Rams, not simply for his pass blocking but for his experience in McVay's offense. The scheme Whitworth learned under Jay Gruden in Cincinnati is, with slight variations, the same one McVay learned under Gruden in Washington. Former No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff spends much of his time with Whitworth quizzing him on how Andy Dalton handled certain situations in the offense.
In Whitworth's estimation, the message McVay would deliver this summer would resonate and had the potential to set a permanent tone for the season, good or bad.
"You listen to him talk about defense, offense, special teams and you realize this guy knows football like no other. He's special in that way," Whitworth says. "But there's something else that makes him special. I would imagine its very hard for a coach of his age to be as assertive as he has and cover the topics he has in a team meeting setting. Talking about character, about being accountable to one another, focus, discipline, the way we communicate with other.
McVay has introduced in his short time with the football team a theme of competition. Whitworth says it was not as strong in Cincinnati, where he played in six playoff games between 2009 and 2015, losing each. Minicamp was an offense vs. defense battle royale more than it was a cut-and-dried installation period, with McVay turning two-minute drills and other team activities into games, assigning points for first downs, turnovers and defensive stops. Losing sides ran gassers. It was all refreshingly collegial, Whitworth says.
"I think one of the coolest things we did in OTAs was create competition times where it's not just scripted plays," Whitworth says. "It's always a positive to create competition when you're starting a football team. It's a big step towards being the best version of yourselves.
Back to Phoenix, and for my money, the hardest job in football outside of the 32 quarterbacks.
Bruce Arians has a go-to expression about summer practices: "You're gonna get exposure or you're gonna get exposed." Sixth-year cornerback Justin Bethel figures the phrase applies just as well to the job of playing cornerback opposite Patrick Peterson.
Among starting corners who played all 16 games in 2016, only Chris Harris had fewer targets (72) than Peterson, who allowed 43 catches on 74 targets for 539 yards and two touchdowns, with three interceptions. The performance landed Peterson a sixth consecutive Pro Bowl appearance in an otherwise disappointing season for the Cardinals (7-8-1). What makes Peterson special, and what sets him apart from the rest of the league, is his ability to shut down the best receivers in the NFL in man coverage for entire games. He led the league in coverage snaps versus the other team's No. 1 receiver with 259, per Pro Football Focus, and in last season's Week 12 game against the Falcons, he limited Julio Jones to three catches for 31 yards when they were matched up.
So where do the rest of the targets go? In that Cardinals-Falcons game, Mohamed Sanu and Taylor Gabriel combined for 13 catches for 140 yards and two touchdowns. Much of that success came against Marcus Cooper, whose single season in Arizona was of model of inconsistency. Still, he led the team with four interceptions and signed a three-year, $16 million deal in Chicago.
Now the job goes to either Brandon Williams, last year's third-round pick and a former college running back who moved to corner as a senior, or Justin Bethel, a three-time special teams Pro Bowler and the first draft pick ever produced by Presbyterian College in Clinton, S.C. (2012, sixth round). The competition is such that both Williams and Bethel stayed in Arizona and worked on conditioning and technique with the trainer who works with Peterson, former NFL defensive back Rod Hood. Unlike Bethel, Williams prefers not to ascribe any special significance to the job opposite Peterson.
Both Williams and Bethel are improving daily, with the former still learning the nuances of the position and the latter finally looking healthy after suffering a nagging foot injury early last season that limited his lateral mobility. Arians, who made headlines last winter when he said Bethel was a "failure in progress," says this offseason Bethel has had his hands on the football more than any other defensive back.
• 24 HOURS WITH PATRICK PETERSON: The shutdown corner shows The MMQB his life at home, on the field, inside the film room, at the golf course and inside his beloved garage.
1. PATRIOTS (2016 season record: 14–2): The Super Bowl champions were 11–0 without former all pro tight end Rob Gronkowski in 2016, so … yeah.
Key to camp: Who's going to play nickel corner among Eric Rowe, Cyrus Jones and Jonathan Jones, and how will the defensive backfield adjust to the addition of Stephon Gilmore?
2. STEELERS (11–5): I'm banking on two big ifs with this team. If Martavis Bryant can return to 2015 form, and if Alejandro Villanueva is the stud left tackle he appeared to be towards the end of '16, this is the AFC team with the best chance to unseat the Pats.
Key to camp: Who among these talented wide receivers will rise into a consistent No. 2 option for Ben Roethlisberger?
3. RAIDERS (12–4): Let's see how the offense transitions to new coordinator Todd Downing in his first opportunity to call plays.
Key to camp: Those haranguing Sean Smith, Oakland's 2016 high-priced free-agent cornerback, for his very visible struggles in coverage in 2016 are loathe to acknowledge the Raiders finished dead last in the NFL in sacks. All eyes on third-round defensive tackle Eddie Vanderdoes and veteran defensive end Mario Edwards, who missed almost all of 2016 with a hip injury.
4. PACKERS (10–6): I believe in Aaron Rodgers. I don't believe in this offensive line. Losing T.J. Lang, Josh Sitton and JC Tretter will hurt, at least in the beginning.
Key to camp: Getting Martellus Bennett and Rodgers on the same page, early, and figuring out if one of the rookie running backs can complement Ty Montgomery and his limited pass-pro ability.
5. SEAHAWKS (10-5-1): I don't trust this offensive line either, and I think it's only a matter of time before the beatings take a toll on Russell Wilson.
Key to camp: Between Eddie Lacy, Thomas Rawls and C.J. Prosise, who will earn the most carries?
6. FALCONS (11–5): Go back 10 years in NFL history and you will not find one instance of a Super Bowl team replacing a coordinator the following year with someone new to the organization. Steve Sarkisian, the former Alabama coordinator who takes over the Atlanta offense, has his work cut out.
Key to camp: Sarkisian and passing game coordinator Raheem Morris hammering out an effective routine for weekly game prep.
7. BUCCANEERS (9–7): Improved by three wins a year ago, compared to 2015, with Mike Evans leading the league in targets. The addition of rookie tight end O.J. Howard and vet receiver DeSean Jackson makes the Bucs my breakout pick.
Key to camp: Can free agent safety J.J. Wilcox and second-round rookie Justin Evans acclimate fast enough to start from Day 1?
8. TITANS (9–7): So hot right now. Much hinges on a revamped secondary with newcomers Logan Ryan, Johnathan Cyprien and first-round corner Adoree' Jackson.
Key to camp: Among newcomers Eric Decker, Corey Davis and Taywan Taylor, who's the No. 2 receiver on this roster?
9. COWBOYS (13–3): A young, restocked secondary will lean on Byron Jones, and pray that first-round pick Taco Charlton has an immediate impact on the defensive line. Ezekiel Elliott's offseason drama isn't doing anybody any favors.
Key to camp: What kind of impact can 2016 second-round pick Jaylon Smith have at linebacker in his long-awaited return from a knee injury?
10. DOLPHINS (10–6): Not-so-bold prediction: Despite Miami's gains, a Ryan Tannehill team will not win the AFC East as long as Tom Brady is in uniform.
Key to camp: Can rookie defensive additions Charles Harris and Raekwon McMillan break into the starting lineup and improve one of league's poorest run defenses?
11. EAGLES (7–9): Will challenge Dallas in the NFC East on the strength of a tremendous offensive line and an underrated pass rush.
Key to camp: Hammering down the interior line with Allen Barbre, Chance Warmack and Isaac Seumalo all fighting for one guard spot.
12. CARDINALS (7-8-1): Urgency will bring the best out of a rested Carson Palmer at age 37.
Key to camp: The maturation of wide receivers John Brown, Jaron Brown and J.J. Nelson needs to accelerate.
13. BRONCOS (9–7): Minus clarity at quarterback, world-class defense will keep the Broncos consistent, if not spectacular.
Key to camp: This one's easy—Trevor Siemian or Paxton Lynch? Make a decision and stick to it.
14. CHIEFS (12–4): Bold prediction: Alex Smith's starting role will not survive this three-game nightmare stretch in October—vs. Steelers, at Raiders, vs. Broncos.
Key to camp: Among Tyreek Hill, Chris Conley and Albert Wilson, is there a No. 1 receiver on the roster?
15. PANTHERS (6–10): It gets dicey here, and the NFC South will be stacked, but I like the Panthers with Christian McCaffrey better than the Saints without Brandin Cooks.
Key to camp: Michael Oher is out, leaving a big hole at right tackle. If rookie Taylor Moton isn't ready, who's up for the job?
Michael Vick often wore his hair in cornrows before adopting a different hairstyle later in his career.
The former NFL quarterback's comments dominated the NFL news cycle early last week, and the backlash included several commentaries that drew the distinction between Vick's shedding of his own cornrows in 2007 while under investigation for running a dog fighting operation and Kaepernick's current situation as a free-agent quarterback who many believe is being blackballed by the NFL for his outspoken political views. That comparison, say people who were close to Vick in 2007, is flawed.
Vick, who showed up at offseason workouts that year with his hair close-cropped, didn't do it because he was under investigation and desperate to portray a choirboy image. He did so because he had grown weary of seeing athletes on par with his level of celebrity and success being offered endorsement opportunities that weren't available to him. Madison Avenue, Vick was told by professionals in his orbit, would not put a cornrowed quarterback next to Derek Jeter in a razor commercial. It wasn't because the look was especially unappealing, but rather that the American audience associated the hairstyle with black crime and violence. For years Vick told confidants he had no intention of shedding his baggy white tees, Air Force One shoes and braids for a business suit and buzzcut, because, as he said again and again, he was "keeping it real." But the lack of major endorsements irked him endlessly, so Vick cut his hair in hopes of a new level of fame. Instead, he gained nationwide infamy upon pleading guilty to felony charges relating to dogfighting in August 2007.
Vick walked back his Kaepernick comments last week, writing on Twitter that Kaepernick's hair had nothing to do with his unemployment. And that's technically true. The hairstyle in itself, minus its contemporary context for black men, wouldn't prevent anybody from earning a job as a quarterback in the NFL. When female UFC fighters sport cornrows it's seen as a matter of practicality, not a statement of ideology or cultural identity. But what it's come to represent for an entire generation of young black men is a certain brand of defiance that is often unsavory to the men with checkbooks. Vick's cornrows, like his freewheeling, barrier-busting play on the field, once represented to him the culture from which he emerged—a pointed antithesis to the CEO image he was being urged to convey for the sake of his team's image and his own bank account. Kaepernick's braids represent to him the culture and causes he's embraced in his personal war on police brutality and systemic racism. For Vick then, and Kaepernick now, cornrows represent something unapologetically black. Enticed by the specter of career prosperity, Vick forgot that. Kaepernick has not.
The appropriate kickoff to any respectable Twitter rant.
Kyrie for Garoppolo makes a lot of sense. Cleveland finally gets its quarterback. Kyrie back to scoring 25 ppg for a championship team.
Here's the problem with modern day reporters. They don't appreciate the love for the game.
He's right. I hate football.
Why would Kirk Cousins not want to sign w/ a team that released all the private behind the scenes info from his negotiation in a statement?
Panthers re-hired same GM they fired in 2012. Jaguars first-rounder arrested for throwing a dude's liquor in a lake.
In NFL history, 24 players have been targeted more than 180 times in a season, and not one of them won a Super Bowl during said season. The first to reach the threshold was Sterling Sharpe with the Packers in 1993, and the last three receivers to be so relied on each had more than 180 targets in 2015: Antonio Brown, DeAndre Hopkins and Julio Jones. The Falcons, of course, added Mohamed Sanu and Taylor Gabriel, brought down Jones' targets from 203 in 16 games to 129 in 14 games, and nearly won a Super Bowl in the process. Lesson learned: The only thing gained when leaning heavily on a superstar receiver is another year of high mileage on his body.
Nobody plays more zone coverage than Carolina, and it's not even close. According to Pro Football Focus, the Panthers were in zone schemes on 87% of passing plays in 2016, a full six percentage points ahead of the next zone-happy club, the Steelers. PFF's Scott Barrett writes that generally speaking, "Defenses with weaker cornerback talent also tend to play more zone coverage." It is perhaps no coincidence then that Carolina's pass defense slipped from 11th in yards allowed to 29th with the loss of Josh Norman in free agency. By comparison, the team most reliant on man defense, Kansas City (53.3% man), led the league in interceptions with 18 and held five of its final 10 opponents to under 200 yards passing. The article, which discusses which quarterbacks prefer facing man or zone defense the most, is worth your time.
Dave Gettleman's four-year tenure as Panthers GM ended when he was fired last week.
a. Joe Person and Scott Fowler of the Charlotte Observer break down the surprise Dave Gettleman firing as only extremely plugged-in beat writers can.
b. Cyd Zeigler of Outsports with former Patriots and Chiefs tackle Ryan O'Callaghan's heart-wrenching coming out story.
c. Brian Burnsed for SI.com with the story of Clinton Portis's financial ruin. I mean, just take a gander at this lede: Fortune pilfered, Clinton Portis contemplated revenge under the veil of darkness. On a handful of late nights and early mornings in 2013 he lurked in his car near a Washington, D.C.–area office building, pistol at his side, and waited for one of several men who had managed a large chunk of the $43.1 million he earned with his 2,230 carries over nine NFL seasons.
d. Natalie Weiner of Bleacher Report, doing some fine legwork and coming out of an uncomfortable interview with Greg Hardy with a salient take on the NFL's relationship with domestic violence.
e. Bomani Jones for The Undefeated with a potent takedown of the anti-Kaepernick crusaders in and out of the NFL.
f. Seth Wickersham of ESPN the Magazine turned in a thorough examination of the bubbling discontent in Seattle.
g. And finally, the boss, Peter King, with a sadly necessary exit interview with former Milwaukee Journal Sentinel NFL writer Bob McGinn.
b. This on-air takedown of former Bills corner Stephon Gilmore by WGRZ Buffalo host Jonah Javad, one of the best examples of how fun and essential local journalism can be. There's nothing wrong with a little hometown boosterism when it's this funny.
4. I think Eric Dickerson is trolling us when he says he believes Sean Mannion should start over former No. 1 overall pick Jared Goff in Week 1. "For me, my guy that I would start the season with is Sean Mannion," Dickerson said last week on The Herd. "I've been saying that since last year. Give him a shot. You drafted him. He was great at—where'd he go to school?—Oregon State, playing in a pro-style offense. He's a big guy, got a great arm." Going after longtime head coach Jeff Fisher was one thing, but trying to insert a QB controversy where there is none does no favors for first-time head coach Sean McVay, who has plenty on his plate already. Enough with the armchair coaching.
6. I think Ezekiel Elliott should take this free advice: Stay away from bars. Get in your playbook and thank the football gods that you were drafted with Dak Prescott onto a team with one of the premier offensive lines in the NFL.
7. I think the Chargers might be cursed. Here is just a brutal factoid from ESPN's Field Yates: "The Chargers haven't had a first-round pick play 16 games as a rookie since Melvin Ingram in 2012. Now, Mike Williams might miss the season." Williams has since denied reports he required back surgery after suffering a mild disc herniation in rookie minicamp, saying "everything is good." Here's hoping the former Clemson receiver is right.
8. I think Le'Veon Bell's quest to be paid like a No. 1 running back plus a No. 2 receiver is novel though ultimately flawed. Setting aside the fact that Bell has played just one full 16-game season in four years in Pittsburgh; the durability question inherent to the position prevents any team, much less the uber-cap conscious Steelers, from setting a new market for dual-threat running backs. No. 2 receivers don't run between the tackles and get their legs caught under piles of bodies, which is why a solid No. 2 receiver is a better investment than your average No. 1 running back.
9. In putting together a top 10 head-coaching candidate list for publication later this week, I keep hearing one surprising name over and over: Mike Vrabel. The former Steelers, Patriots and Chiefs linebacker only retired in 2010, but he's made quite the impression on several of the NFL personnel executives I've surveyed so far. After just three seasons coaching linebackers with the Texans, Vrabel's popularity is right up there with names like Jim Schwartz, Steve Spagnuolo and Harold Goodwin in terms of head-coaching hype. A top-10 finish for the Texans defense in his first season as coordinator would all but guarantee him serious consideration for every head coaching opportunity next year.
10. My dear friend and valued colleague Emily Kaplan heads off for icier pastures this month, leaving The MMQB for the NHL beat at ESPN. As avid Twitterers, we shared a love of the social media habits of one of the site's friendliest users, Amy Trask, the former Raiders CEO with the best nickname in sports executive history, "Princess of Darkness." Trask faithfully concludes most of her tweets with the sentence, 'And, hi.' Kaplan and I adopted the phrase in texts—e.g. What in the hell was Peter talking about on that conference call? And, hi. We dreamed of a sprawling 3,000-word double byline feature story on the And, hi phenomenon, its origins, applications and the mastermind behind it. That dream is dead now, because Emily murdered it, but I did finally ask Trask what all the hi's are about.

AUBURN, Ala. (AP) Auburn has rehired former Mississippi defensive coordinator Wesley McGriff as an assistant coach.
McGriff, whose hiring was announced Wednesday, was on coach Gus Malzahn's staff in 2016. He spent the past two seasons running the Rebels' defense.
Ole Miss announced the day after the regular season ended that McGriff would not return next year.
McGriff previously worked as Auburn's secondary coach and co-defensive coordinator after three years as an assistant with the New Orleans Saints.
Auburn didn't announce what position he will coach but defensive backs coach Greg Brown has left.

Things You Need To Know This Week – August 15, 2015
By Shelly Kramer,
Ok, I have to start today with something that isn't really a tech related thing (ok, it isn't at all), but it is an Internet thing, so bear with me while I explain. You might have heard in the news that Target recently instituted "gender neutralized" labeling of all its children's products. And, predictably, Americans went a bit nutty over the news. Target's Facebook page exploded, and many of the comments were pretty offensive. Enter Mike Melgaard.
As AdWeek.com reported, in what might be the most epic "trolling for good" ever witnessed, "Melgaard came to Target's defense—in a provocative manner. He created a fake Facebook account and posed as a Target customer service rep—under the name @AskForHelp, with a Target-like bull's-eye profile pic—and began excoriating the haters with comically sarcastic replies. He got away with it for about 16 hours, too, commenting on about 50 posts before the fake account was shut down."
If you haven't seen it, it's worth your time to read—I promise. Although while it's definitely chuckle-inducing, it's also frightening to see some of the hatred out there that's personified in some of the comments.
And in case you were worried about Target being upset over Melgaard's prank (which, um, took Target SIXTEEN HOURS to shut down!), I think its safe to say they've gotten a boat load of free press as a result of @AskForHelp.
Anyhow, let's get back to the business at hand, and dive into "Things you Need to Know This Week." Google reveals the ABCs of business, ad blockers are hot, hot, hot, and Twitter makes yet another change.
Google Creates New Umbrella Holding Company Called Alphabet
There's a new Google entity in town – a holding company called "Alphabet." After a major shakeup of the key Google players, and (sort of) admitting that G+ hasn't quite lived up to expectations, Google's Alphabet—a collection of Google owned companies, including Google itself—will replace Google Inc. as the publicly traded entity. If you're a shareholder, not an issue, as all Google shares automatically convert into the same number of shares of Alphabet, and the two classes of shares will continue to trade on Nasdaq as GOOGL and GOOG.
According to Google's Larry Page, "Google is not a conventional company. We do not intend to become one. As part of that, we also said that you could expect us to make "smaller bets in areas that might seem very speculative or even strange when compared to our current businesses. Our company is operating well today, but we think we can make it cleaner and more accountable. So we are creating a new company, called Alphabet I am really excited to be running Alphabet as CEO with help from my capable partner, Sergey, as President."
Page added, "Sergey and I are seriously in the business of starting new things. Alphabet will also include our X lab, which incubates new efforts like Wing, our drone delivery effort. We are also stoked about growing our investment arms, Ventures and Capital, as part of this new structure." The more you read about this restructuring, the more sense it makes for Google to split off its core business from the search and ad business and it will be interesting to see what develops from here.
Attention Marketers: Nearly 200 Million People Now Use Adblockers
via The Next Web TNW
Oh, marketers, are we really surprised? No. Adblocker tool usage is on the rise, and it's really no shock considering that most of us loathe being interrupted by advertising.
A report from PageFair and Adobe indicates that almost 200 million people are currently using adblocking tools. What's the hit on publishers' pocketbooks? Nearly $22 billion in lost revenue this year and $41 billion next year—definitely no small amount.
Apple's upcoming iOS 9 might allow third-party adblocking tools, and it's expected that more and more people will use adblockers in the coming months.
Clearly, there's an open door here for some crafty new startup to create the anti-adblocker. Or something.
Email Marketers Moving to Multi-Channel, Real-Time Communication
Email is definitely not dead but, there's an urgent need for email marketers to remain relevant. According to marketer.com, "…2015 will be an important year for brands looking to shift toward a next-generation approach to real-time email marketing…"
In fact, among U.S. marketers polled by The Relevancy Group in December 2014, the ability to use real-time data as well as the ability to centralize customer databases (making them actionable) were among the top five email marketing priorities for 2015.
Spencer Kollas, vice president of global deliverability services at Experian Marketing Services, had this to say, "The need for relevancy has never been stronger; today's consumers expect a seamless digital experience across the board. If consumers are going to engage with a brand, they expect that brand to know the best way to reach them and communicate with them. They don't care that your email marketing group or provider isn't going to get credit if you click on something via SMS instead of email. Your customers see you as one brand, and that's as it should be. For a long time, email marketing was just the old-fashioned [email] blast." Now, email is infinitely more sophisticated and marketing in general is driven by data and personalization and the goal is always engaging with people at the right time, in the right manner, with the right information or offer, and using the right channel.
Email marketers today are also looking to merge their online customer data with offline data, including consumers' in-store purchasing behavior, which will help marketers see a more end-to-end picture of customers and more clearly define their relationship with a brand and/or company.
Email is certainly not dead. But it is exponentially more complex than ever before. And, when used properly, able to deliver great returns on your marketing spend.
Retailers Continue to Experiment With Beacons to Gather Valuable Real Time Customer Data
via eMarketer
Are beacons the holy grail of next-generation marketing or just another hyped up bright, shiny object? That's what marketers are starting to ask themselves, what with consumer indifference to the technology, and retailers still dragging their heels in the experimental phase, almost two years after Apple's introduced its highly touted iBeacon.
According to a new eMarketer report, marketers continue to promote beacons for their personalization capabilities even though most consumers are yet to be interested and most retailers are still just experimenting.
"With smartphones and wearables, we're turning the physical world into a real-time digital world, and we're going to be able to track the physical world just like we're able to track the digital world, with beacons as a proxy to help understand what consumers are doing, where they're going and what type of messages are creating action just like we do online," said Jeff Malmad, managing director and head of mobile and Life+ at Mindshare North America.
Hmmm. That all sounds good, in principal, but it appears the reality of current beacon data usage is much different. According to emarketer.com, "For marketers, the holy grail is pinpointing shoppers' in-store location and using data such as past shopping behavior to offer highly personalized deals on the spot. But this idea remains mostly theoretical.
In practice, beacons are more likely to push a welcome message or general discount unrelated to a shopper's location or preferences. And rather than being seamless, many implementations require active participation from consumers."
So, where does that leave us? Well, a recent study by Econsultancy and Signal looked at the usage of first-party data among marketers in North America, and found that "strong ROI" companies actively collected data from beacons, compared with just 8 percent of all others. I write about big data a lot. This is yet another instance that shows if you get the data that's neat. But the key to success is to properly analyze and then USE the data in a way that delivers the most value. The companies who get that will win.
Popular Password Manager LastPass Now Free on Mobile Devices
via TNW
In case you're still doubting that we are rapidly becoming a mobile first world, here's another example of yet another company that's taking mobile very seriously.
LastPass, the creator of the world's most irritating (yet very hard to hack) passwords, now offers a free tier for managing your passwords on mobile devices. The new option allows you to sync passwords for free, as long as you use the same type of device (smartphones to other smartphones, for instance). Previously, the desktop version was free, but using it on mobile was bundled into the $12 subscription cost. If you want to sync between desktop to smartphone, it will still cost you $12 annually. That seems like a pretty good deal.
Back to my point about mobile: LastPass hasn't made significant changes to its business model in over seven years. Why change now? Because mobile. Especially used for business.
With security in the wake of headlines filled with news of new data breaches on a regular basis, everyone should be using strong, random passwords for all online accounts. This new offering from LastPass is a great way to keep track of all those passwords safely and securely.

Visual Content Seen Most Important in Telling Marketing Stories, But Chaos Abounds
In a 2015 survey by the CMO Council, conducted in partnership with Libris, almost 67 percent of senior marketers in North America said that visual assets were central to communicating their brand story, and the majority believed the importance would only grow.
BUT, it seems very few marketers are actively working in-house to either create, or, more importantly, aggregate, catalog, and manage all visuals.
The CMO Council/Lubis polled senior marketers across North America, who reported that "…thirty-five percent of respondents had no process in place to keep visual assets in check. While more than half had some sort of system in place to aggregate, catalog, and manage all visuals, the majority in this group only had it within specific departments, at 29 percent, vs. 27 percent who had a process across the company as a whole." (as reported on emarketer.com
It's obvious that while there are clearly good intentions with regard to the creation of visual content, if you've got no way of organizing, sorting, cataloging, and/or making it accessible across the enterprise, as well as educating your teams about how they might be able to use it, well, it's probably not going to deliver much value.
Buffer Adds Ability To Post and Schedule Native Video on Facebook and Twitter
via Marketing Land
Buffer, the popular social media scheduling app, has added the ability to upload, post, and schedule native video to Facebook and Twitter to all user accounts including those on their free plan.
Users can now schedule and upload mp4, mov or avi video files up to one gigabyte in size on Buffer to post to Twitter, Facebook and Google+ as native video posts. For LinkedIn and Pinterest, which don't have native video, Buffer video posts will display with links to Buffer's video server. More smart moves from the team at Buffer.
Facebook Defends Three Second Video Views
On Medium this week, Matt Pakes, a manager in Facebook's video product team, defended the notion that three seconds is enough of a signal for Facebook to register that someone has watched video in the News Feed.
According to Pakes, "While there is no broad industry standard for view measurement, three seconds is one common choice, and gives us a consistent metric for all video on Facebook. If you have stayed on a video for at least three seconds, it signals to us that you are not simply scrolling through feed and you've shown intent to watch that video."
Why was Pakes speaking out? Because prominent YouTube creator Hank Green had lashed out at the social giant in an earlier Medium post, harshly criticizing its three-minute video view standard, and tearing into the company for favoring Facebook native video over YouTube. He also railed against Facebook's alleged habit of 'looking away' when users use (and promote as theirs) videos that don't belong to them.
According to marketingland.com, "Green cited a study by Ogilvy and Tubular Labs that found that 725 of the 1,000 most popular Facebook videos of Q1 2015 were "stolen re-uploads" and that these so-called "freebooted" videos drew more than 17 billion views on Facebook."
Pakes' fired back saying, "As video continues to grow rapidly on Facebook…we're actively exploring further solutions to help IP owners identify and manage potential infringing content, tailored for our unique platform and ecosystem. This is a significant technical challenge at our scale, but we have a team working on it and expect to have more to share later this summer."
Length of Twitter Direct Messages Now Unlimited
As of this week, Twitter has officially removed the character limit from direct messages.
This means you can now send messages that are as long as you want via direct messages. The change is rolling out now and all users should see it within a few weeks.
Even though direct messages are now unlimited, Twitter made it clear that the character limit won't be going away for public tweets anytime soon.
I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Part of what makes Twitter Twitter is its character limitation, and its direct messages are already a cesspool of spammy "Hey, read my blog!" or "Hey, team followback!!" type messages. I can't imagine how bad it will be when people you're not connect with can send you messages of infinite length. I can't even find it in myself to like it as a marketer.
Video Streaming App Periscope Up to 10 Million Registered Users
via Recode
Speaking of Twitter, TheNextWeb.com is reporting {With a cheeky headline: "Periscope Has 10 Million Users (Kinda)} that more than 10 million people have now created Periscope accounts since the product launched at the end of March. Of those 10 million, almost two million people use the app daily.
The important thong to remember is 10 million signups does not 10 million active users make. But, for the love of vanity metrics, Periscope is sticking to total accounts created and how much time people are spending watching streams every day.
"Success for broadcasters means more time watched on their broadcasts," CEO Kayvon Beykpour explained in a blog post. "Success for the audience means more high-quality broadcasts in their feeds that they want to watch and participate in."

"We don't work out of a vacuum," writer-illustrator Bridget Strevens-Marzo says. "We are working in culture of the moment in time." She was speaking to an audience of writers and illustrators in London last September 2005 on the subject of character design.
This is the question that taxes publishers, editors, writers and illustrators of picture books in the increasingly competitive global market of children's publishing. How does one publish across the world without suffering in translation?
Toto in Paris, Bridget's first published book, perfectly captures the wonder of discovering another culture.
The diversity of cultural experience is a recurring theme in Bridget's talks. She herself had an English father and a Spanish mother, and in her childhood had lived in the United States, England, Spain and France, where she now lives and works.
Bridget called her talk 'Mice, Mothers and Others in Children's Books – a Long Hard Look at Character in Translation'. Jointly sponsored by the Association of Illustrators and SCBWI British Isles, the talk looked at fashions and conventions and the way faces and figures are depicted in different times and places.
Why do some things travel and others don't?
"One of my hobbies is to get people 'armchair-travelling' via picture books," she said, before treating the audience to a feast of images from children's books, criss-crossing the globe – Babar in New York by Laurent de Brunhoff, Eloise in Paris by Kay Thompson, The Jolly Postman by Janet and Allan Ahlberg.
"Within the illustrating world there is an obsessive search for style and yet style is often the bugbear of illustration," Bridget said. For the children's book illustrator, she said, it is rare that style on its own guarantees a book's success. Characterization is more important. Focusing on mothers, she demonstrated how different cultures saw women and mothers in particular, in different ways.
How often do you see a woman getting dressed or breast feeding in a children's book? She showed one exception from New York-based illustrator Marc Simont. In The Philharmonic Gets Dressed, he shows women in a variety of comic contortions as they struggle to get into their black evening dresses to perform in a concert. Equally exceptional, though from a more surreal perspective, is an image taken from Maurice Sendak's I Saw Esau ("I one my mother, I two my mother, I three my mother … I ate my mother"). His breastfeeding mother is gradually gobbled up by her fat baby.
Are mothers conditioned by their specific cultural expectations?
"In British books, there seem to be an unusual number of tired, put-upon mothers" Bridget said as we came to an exhausted mother in Bye Bye Baby illustrated by Janet Ahlberg and another in tears in Burningham's Avocado Baby. In contrast, the chirpy and brightly-dressed French mother in Le Pantalon de Gaston by Marie Delafon seems to be having quite a party from her bed with her family. Certainly not tired and in fact downright menacing, is the mother in a modern French picture book classic, Le Chien Bleu by Nadja. She sits in tight-fitting black velvet and high heels on the edge of a bath telling her pleading daughter that she won't allow her to have a dog. Highly acclaimed in France since it came out in 1989, this psycho-charged story with surreal overtones has been published in Spain and Germany but remains unpublished in English.
Different cultures have different attitudes. Mon Amis Crocodile by Fred Bernard is about a shy boy who imagines how his life would improve if he could have a crocodile as a friend to take to school. In one illustration is a woman, incidental to the story, walks past toting a bag made of crocodile skin. "I don't think a British or American publisher would go for that somehow," says Bridget.
The brutal fact remains that co-editions (more about co-editions) are where the money is in most children's markets, and publishers cannot afford to publish books that suffer in translation.
Bridget counts herself lucky to be working for American, Australian and French publishers as well as for France's dynamic children's press. She works regularly for monthly magazines including Bayard's Pomme d'api.
Kiss, kiss! by Margaret Wild, illustrated by Bridget Strevens-Marzo has been published in nine countries and is being re-issued by Little Hare in the UK as a boxed set for Mother's Day 2006. Knock, knock by David Bedford and Bridget Strevens-Marzo was published by Little Hare in 2005. Bridget's latest French book is a colouring book with a difference, Les Petites Mains Dessinent, published by Bayard in March 2006.
What do you think? Is there more to be gained than lost by publishing picture books that do not suffer in translation?
There's more to be gained. Perhaps not so much with picture books, but certainly older children's fiction benefits. Translating texts helps people to see that we have lots in common with other cultures... it can bridge differences, or am I being an idealist?
Bridget was interviewed last Mother's Day on BBC Radio 4, Woman's Hour about the way mother's are presented in picture books. Interviewed with her was Dr Penni Cotton, research fellow at the National Centre for Research in Children's Literature. The interview opens with the wonderful voices of small children comparing the mothers they see in books with their own mothers. Listen to the radio item here.

Prelude's account managers guide new clients through new system transitions using our Rapid Deployment Path (RDP).
There are four steps to Prelude's RDP.
Prelude works our each client to help define and refine their business requirements. When complete the requirements document is signed off by the client. The requirements document is delivered to Prelude's Solution Implementation (SI) team for further review. The SI team uses the business requirements document to create a Statement of Work (SOW) which defines the work activities to be performed. The SOW is reviewed by clients and Prelude and once accepted, signed off. A Prelude project manager, usually the account manager, creates a project plan defining the solution deliverables and timelines. Prelude will conduct bi-weekly status meetings with clients to review the project plan deliverables are on target. Additionally, clients will complete Prelude's Data Collections document which is used by Prelude's System Integration (SysI) team during the Solution Configuration phase.
The Solution Architecture (SA) team uses the SOW to create the solution design documents. The SA team reviews the current architecture and applies the SOW to identify changes. The results of this exercise are detailed design documents defining the technical requirements for the solution configuration phase. The technical design documentation is presented to IT management for review and signoff. Once signed off the solution configuration step may begin. If IT management does not sign off the design documents the SA and SI teams meet to review the SOW and it application to the current architecture.
The SysI team uses the data collections document to setup the Unit, System and Quality Assurance testing regions. Prelude's software engineers use the functional and detail design documents as roadmap to complete the solution configuration. Working with the Prelude project manager the IT manager reviews the project plan and assigns tasks at Prelude configure client's solution based on design documents defined in Step 2. Unit testing is performed during this phase. Prelude's IT Manager reviews the unit testing results and signs off. Solution is delivered.
Once the Solution Configuration is completed, the client will be asked to Sign Off on the Application, at that point the solution is installed, Integration Testing is completed and the final payment is due. Upon delivery, Prelude's Support Representative works closely with the client's team to ensure a smooth transition. Most implementation and support services are handled directly from our main office. Prelude also offers onsite installation or training as necessary.
Our references rave about how their implementations and installations went so smoothly.

Students seek BOV position
By Kristin Hawkins | 01/26/2007
The field of candidates vying for the student position on the Board of Visitors was narrowed Tuesday from 51 to 13 when semi-finalists were selected.
The new member will be announced in February, following another round of eliminations, according to current student Board member Lizzie Mullen.
The selection committee -- composed of Patricia Lampkin, vice president for student affairs; Sandy Gilliam, secretary to the Board; Mullen and an undisclosed number of students -- is looking for "a well-rounded student who is able to connect with everyone that he or she works with," Mullen said.
Mullen noted that evaluating applicants for the student Board position requires a different approach than selecting the best candidates for other leadership positions. She said a policy agenda is less important than a demonstrated ability to communicate student opinion to the board.
"If I were running for Student Council, for Honor, a group with direct authority over a certain section of the University, there would be a way to measure success," Mullen said, adding that "the student member does not get to come with a to-do list."
This year, 51 people applied for the position, Mullen said, noting that the number of applicants increased from 28 last year.
Third-year College student Wyatt Fore said he chose to apply for the position because he wanted to make sure student voices, especially those of minorities, were heard by the Board, noting that he also "wanted to be part of such a huge institution at U.Va."
Fore said he was notified by e-mail Tuesday that he had not made the cut to move on to the next round.
Mullen said the Board's student member is in a unique position because he or she works with students, administrators and Board members.
"I think we are looking for someone with good judgment and a passion for service at the University," said Mullen. "Being on the Board as a student member or fully appointed member is a tough job."
Unlike the other Board members, the student representative on the Board cannot vote.
Mullen said that while she initially thought this rule went against the idea of student self-governance, she has come to understand the reason for the policy. She noted that Board members are politically appointed while she is not, affording her the unique opportunity to share student views and work with students on both sides of an issue.
"Being able to really say that I am an impartial middle man is very helpful," said Mullen. "If I had voted down something and then tried to work with [the losing party], it would have brought animosity to the table."
Even if she did have a vote, she said she feels it would not be an accurate reflection of student sentiment on an issue.
"If I were to vote, it would be represented as student opinion, but it is not," Mullen said. "It is my opinion."
Mullen added that she has found that the Board has trusted her and her judgment.
"I have felt completely comfortable expressing my opinion, and when that happened, I felt like they listened," she said.
This year she said some of the Board's biggest achievements were in areas relating to diversity, and cited the hiring of the chief diversity officer, the high African-American graduation rate and increased procurement from minority owned businesses. In addition, she said she has lobbied to strengthen the undergraduate advising program.
Of all of the Board's achievements Mullen said the most exciting part of being on the Board this past year was participating in the launch of the Capital Campaign. The fruits of this effort, such as the South Lawn Project and increased academic prominence, will take time to realize, she said.
"The decisions the board makes are big, overarching decisions and it takes time for them to trickle down."

You may not be aware you've had wine made by the Wagner family. If you've had Conundrum or Caymus, Mer Soleil, Meiomi or Belle Glos, you've had a Wagner wine.
helped his folks get things started is now running the show. He's the same Chuck Wagner, just not 19 anymore.
Wagner Family's repertoire since 1988, and Conundrum was his pet project. The first vintage was released in '89. The "conundrum" is figuring out which grape varieties make up the blend. It's not too much of a puzzle to figure out that it pairs well with Asian food.
The pale golden wine is fairly complex, showing aromas of white flowers, tropical fruit, a few drops of honey and a bit of honeydew melon. It's nice and full in the mouth, with oak present. Pear juice and a trace of pineapple are the main flavors, while a good acidity level makes it a great choice for pairing with seafood. Conundrum is lush, with full malolactic fermentation adding softness. I like it with lobster, while Chuck Wagner likes it with crabcakes.
Mer Soleil Silver Unoaked Chardonnay 2009 - This beautiful white from Monterey's Santa Lucia Highlands is fermented in small cement tanks imported from France. No French oak here, just French cement. Chuck's son, Charlie Wagner II, handles the production for Mer Soleil. He's a 5th generation winemaker. The Mer Soleil Vineyard lies in the Santa Lucia Highlands, in the cool, dry part of Monterey County. This Chardonnay carries a hefty 14.8% abv level.
minerals. There's a very food-friendly acidity here as well.
some wood spice. It's a full-bodied, California-style Chardonnay. On the palate, the oak is in the forefront, and a sense of movie theater popcorn butter lingers on the finish. The acidity is even better than in the other two whites.
winemaker - produces Belle Glos wines, which are named Lorna Belle Glos Wagner, wife of founder Charlie and Chuck's mother. This 100% Pinot Noir is her favorite wine.
This dark wine brings an alcohol level of 14.4% abv to the glass. The nose presents dark and burly fruit - black and blue berries - a familiar profile in red wines from the Santa Maria Valley. The palate boasts black cherry cola - slightly sour - with a hint of minerality. It's full in the mouth and sports great acidity.
Meiomi Pinot Noir 2009 - Joseph Wagner is also the winemaker for Meiomi, which means "coast" in ancient Indian languages. Meiomi's vineyards are located in some nice coastal regions, Sonoma, Monterey and Santa Barbara Counties. This Pinot has a lighter complexion than the Belle Glos with a lighter alcohol content, too - 13.9% abv.
The nose is much brighter than the Belle Glos, with cherry and anise aromas in a very fruit forwrd manner. A huge cherry expression dominates the palate and there's a nice tannnic structure with a great finish that darkens a bit, showing some coffee notes. I'd have this with a steak.
Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 - The Caymus Vineyards are where it all began back in '72 for the Wagner Family. Chuck Wagner is the winemaker for Caymus. The famous Caymus Cab is produced using Napa Valley grapes - about one-fourth hillside fruit and three quarters from the valley.
Medium dark ruby in the glass, this wine has a fabulous nose with aromas of cassis and coffee - even an almost candy-like caramel component that wafts in and out while sniffing. The currant comes through on the palate as well, and the wine is rich and full. The tannins are forceful and beg to paired with a great steak. The alcohol content is a big 15.2% abv. The Caymus Cab lists for $68.

St. Joseph Altar Restoration
"I wish I could persuade everyone to be devoted to this glorious saint [St. Joseph], for I have great experience of the blessings that he can obtain from God. I have never known anyone to be truly devoted to him and render him particular services who did not notably advance in virtue, for he gives very real help to souls who commend themselves to him."
St. Theresa of Avila
We are pleased to announce this Father's Day weekend, that through the generosity of over 500 people that we have reached our fundraising goal of $248,000 for the restoration of St. Joseph's Altar!
You can still submit your prayer intentions and offerings. Additional funds collected will go towards any overages on this project or towards the future restoration of Our Lady's altar. All prayer intentions will be placed in the restored St. Joseph's altar for years to come.
The restoration of St. Joseph's altar is underway. All 90 gilded ornaments have been removed along with hundreds of rusty nails. Work is being done to fill in gaps and repair the structural integrity of the altar.
We kicked the work off with a High Mass for the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker, on May 1st. Though the work has begun, we are still in need of funds.
Help Us Honor St. Joseph
We are inviting friends of St. Joseph to make an offering and a prayer intention to St. Joseph. All prayer intentions will be placed in the restored altar when it is completed.
The St. Joseph Altar is in dire need of repair and restoration. The altar's stability is compromised by deep vertical cracks including cracks in the altar's base. Much of the carved wood-and-gilded ornamentation is either discolored, damaged, or missing and the entire surface of the altar needs to be cleaned.
The St. Joseph Altar is used not only as an altar for the celebration of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, but it also supports an elaborate and heavy Christmas Creche, the Holy Thursday repository, the Good Friday tomb, and the Resurrection tableau throughout Eastertide. The extraordinary use, in addition to the normal depredations of time and circumstance, have contributed to the altar's need for repair and restoration.
The repair and restoration of the St. Joseph Altar will be accomplished in three phases from May 1, 2021 to February 2, 2022. We begin on the Feast of St. Joseph (May 1) the Worker and we will dedicate the finished project on the Feast of Candlemas (Feb 2), which is a period of nine months.
The project cost is estimated to be $248,000.00. The Canons Regular of St. John Cantius have made an offering to St. Joseph of $25,000, 10% of the total project cost. Join them in this work of the Restoration of the Sacred. This project cannot be completed without your help.
WE INVITE YOU to make an offering with your prayer intention to St. Joseph:
