helper function for nesting backbone collections.
function nestCollection(model, attributeName, nestedCollection) {
//setup nested references
for (var i = 0; i < nestedCollection.length; i++) {
model.attributes[attributeName][i] = nestedCollection.at(i).attributes;
}
//create empty arrays if none
nestedCollection.bind('add', function (initiative) {
if (!model.get(attributeName)) {
model.attributes[attributeName] = [];
