Advertising Next
Surely advertising is the world's most inefficient industry. Here are people who will plaster a bus with a ten-foot-high pop-out poster of a giant on the off chance it will encourage you to have your carpets cleaned.
Let's walk through this process. For the ad to work, you must (a) notice it, (b) pay sufficient attention to absorb its message, (c) attach sufficient credibility to not immediately dismiss it, (d) retain that message until you enter a purchasing situation relevant to that product, and (e) find the message so persuasive that it alters the purchasing decision you would otherwise have made.
The chances of this are infinitesimal. And so advertising spams. It makes five hundred uninterested TV viewers sit through a 30-second spot in case one of them is in the market for a new SUV. The amazing part is that this is actually cost-effective. Advertising is a half-trillion-dollar industry that makes commercial sense even though most of its output is wasted.
Far more sensible would be if advertisers could restrict their ads to people likely to respond to them. They'd save bucketloads of money; we wouldn't have to sit through ads for products we wouldn't buy in a million years.
This yawning gap between the present state of the advertising industry and one that isn't completely freaking insane means there will be change. Market segmentation has always been a big deal in marketing, but it's getting huge. Marketers are ravenous for information about you, and they're building immense data stores. These will enable them to tailor their messages to you—or, at least, to your market segment. In the short-term, it'll mean more relevant ads, Google-style. Next, I think, comes more persuasive ads. That's when they change not the product being advertised, but the message: playing up its green credentials if you're environmentally conscious, its patriotism if you're nationally minded, and so on.
Lately I've been thinking about my ideal state of advertising. And I don't think it's no ads at all. I would prefer no ads to the tidal wave of irrelevant ads I get currently, but in a perfect world, I do want information about products. Specifically, I want unbiased recommendations from people I respect and admire. That basically means friends and select celebrities. I want this to be "pull" information: I don't want anyone randomly coming up and yakking about their amazing new phone. But if I'm thinking about a new phone, I'd like to be able to see what people with whom I identify think. I would like to browse through a list and see that Wild Pete has a Nokia but it sucks, Wil is wedded to his Motorola, and Stephen King knows where you can get a good deal on an iPhone.
The closest thing I've seen is Facebook. It's all push—I get recommendations and links thrown at me whether they're relevant or not, and almost entirely they're not. But still, it's socially-based purchasing advice. I think if Facebook had been smarter—if they'd remembered their success comes from giving people complete control over their own information, and hadn't tried to wrest it back—they could have built the most effective, highly-targeted advertising platform in the world. Maybe they still will.
Until then, I'm skipping TV ads on my PVR, blocking them on the web with my browser, and listening to commercial-free internet radio.

Flat Primers
All I have are large pistol primers, and I'm pretty new to reloading, so I've been reloading alot of .45 Colt. I shoot them through a .454 though, so in case I make a rookie mistake, I have about 40,000 PSI of wiggle room. I generally load to max or +P pressures, and with all sorts of 230-250 gr boolits, I've had nothing but success, until last weekend. It's my understanding that any safe load for a 250gr jacketed boolit will also be safe for a 185gr jacketed boolit, so I loaded up 17.5gr of 2400 behind a 185gr .4515 HP. I have no roll crimp die yet, so I used a 1/4 turn with my taper crimp die, and watched for boolits coming out of the cases. I didn't see any evidence of that, but I did have some moderately flattened primers on about 1/2 of my loads. My theory after thinking it over at work is that the light, slightly undersized boolit combined with the non-ideal crimp allowed the primer to push the bullet forward slightly before the 2400 burned right (it's a magnum pistol, slow burning powder) and created a secondary pressure spike that mooshed up my primers a bit. Recoil and noise varied quite a bit shot to shot, like shooting .22LR on a very cold day. Recoil was never stout, even by .45 Colt standards (4.5# gun as well) but I could definately feel a difference. Does my theory make sense, or did I just make it up in my head?

Re: Flat Primers
I took her out again today, this time with the cases loaded up with Unique, and had a much better time. I still need a roll crimp die, my 5th and 6th boolits are backing out a hair from recoil, but nothing scary. I did start to flatten some primers at the end, but not until I was running those 185 HPs at about 1300 FPS. My next question: Are regular large pistol primers designed for that type of pressure, or should I be running LP magnum primers as I chase 1400 FPS?
Re: Flat Primers
Picked up Lee's factory crimp die and a Chrony. Those 185s are actually running 1385fps average, but #5 and 6 in the cylinder are still backing out under recoil. I've also been running 230gr Berry's plated at about 1205fps with the same 1/2 turn crimp, and they don't move a bit, awesome plinking round and very accurate. What I'd really like to find are some flying ashtray 185s that are .452" instead of .4515" to maybe get just a little snugger crimp. Until then, I'm putting development on hold, and concentrating more on the FsN for HD

This camera sounds a good buy, considering it sells for just over £200. A respectable, relatively low-noise 7.1 megapixel sensor, 3x optical zoom and a sturdy, brushed steel case, waterproof to 10m, generous 2.5in LCD and so on.
Sadly, the Mju is not quite as good in the hand as it is on paper. Even before taking the camera underwater, we were frustrated by its poor design.
The power button is small and annoying, and the lozenge-shaped shutter release is too small and slippery. It's hard to compose shots on the LCD too, which is difficult to see in sunlight.
Take the camera underwater and it gets even harder to compose your shots, especially if the water is murky. The Olympus redeems itself by being otherwise very easy to use, and takes well-exposed shots from the box.
Still, this feels very fussy and fiddly for an underwater camera. If you're happy with your existing camera, save some money and get a waterproof casing for it instead of 'upgrading' to this.

Three weeks before the Boston Marathon grabs the world's attention, a group protesting China's alleged human rights abuses plans to use the same Hopkinton-to-Boston route to publicize its cause: boycotting the summer Olympic Games.
Three weeks before the Boston Marathon grabs the world's attention, a group protesting China's alleged human rights abuses plans to use the same Hopkinton-to-Boston route to publicize its cause: boycotting the summer Olympic Games.
"We believe the Olympic Games represent something universal and good," said Steve Gigliotti, the Massachusetts spokesman for the Human Rights Torch Relay. "The Olympics and human rights violations cannot coexist within China."
Seeking to expose alleged abuses ahead of the games, protest supporters lit a torch in Athens, Greece, in August and have since carried it to Europe, South America and Australia. The group has chosen Boston and its marathon route to introduce its initiative to the United States and North America.
"Boston symbolizes the birthplace of freedom and liberty in the U.S.," Gigliotti said. "We decided it was a nice fit."
While he will have help carrying the torch, triathlete and marathoner Paul Guzzi, who lives in Franklin and works in Wellesley, will run the entire 26-mile route for the March 30 event. He volunteered after being told of abuses in China by his mother, who practices Falun Gong's tenets and became involved with the torch effort.
"I always like a challenge," Guzzi said. "It sounded like a good cause."
While the idea for the torch initially came from the Coalition to Investigate the Persecution of Falun Gong, a meditation practice banned in China, Gigliotti said the movement has come to include other groups and individuals concerned with issues like China's support of Burma, renamed Myanmar by a military junta accused of abuses, and of Sudan, widely condemned for its actions in Darfur.
According to Human Rights Watch, China restricts freedom of expression and religion, banning groups like Falun Gong. It has also cracked down on perceived separatists in its western provinces of Tibet and Xinjiang, according to the watchdog group, employing forced coercions and secret prosecutions or simply forgoing trials altogether.
While China had promised to improve its record ahead of the Olympics, Human Rights Watch complained in December that repression continues, with forced evictions for construction and the silencing of dissidents.
Gigliotti agreed that China had not kept its promise, attributing it to officials' fear that residents would speak out and embarrass the government, causing the leadership to lose face.
"Their biggest fear is losing power," he said.
Baodong Wang, a spokesman for the Chinese embassy in Washington, D.C., dismissed the claims made by the relay's organizers.
"We hope the American public will stay away from this so-called Human Rights Torch Relay," he said, describing Falun Gong as an "evil cult" that warps the minds of its followers and has slandered Chinese officials with lies.
He called the torch event "one of the latest acts conducted by Falun Gong to try to make use of the Beijing Olympics games to attack and vilify the Chinese government."

Profs must be careful
About Professor James Sofka [May 5 cover story, "Did Sofka cross the line?"], every properly devoted teacher knows that teachers are, and should be, held to a higher ethical standard than those in most other professions.
In this country, the irony of that truth is difficult, because pay and prestige do not reward teachers. Nonetheless, students submit themselves to teachers because the students don't know how to act within a certain domain of expertise.
When the lively teacher helps the student to grow, the student feels vitalized, gratefully empowered. Unless the teacher manages it carefully, this energy can spill sloppily over into other domains.
A successful teacher/student encounter may act, to paraphrase a lousy movie, "like a biological highlighter– it says, 'You matter now.'" When this happens, a teacher may get return signals that say, "You matter, too."
Human, lonely (as every teacher is lonely in a certain way, no matter how happily married), and devoted to a discipline, the teacher is the partner in this dangerous dance who must resist being seduced by this vitality. Psychiatrists and priests suffer this, too– think of the transgressions of Father Phil and Carmella Soprano; Arthur Dimmesdale and Hester Prynne. Are these really very different?
The dance is as old as teaching itself; and the instances of being swept away, or nearly swept away, are dignified and undignified, famous and infamous– you could not possibly list all those tales in your journal.
Nearly all of them end tragically or absurdly. So regardless of professor Sofka's intent, it would have taken very little for him to "cross the line." The discipline, and not the professor, must sweep the students off their feet. The professor, and not the student, must assert the will to re-channel that energy back where it belongs.

Complete Story
FCC Approves Comcast/NBCU Deal
By: John Eggerton, Broadcasting & Cable
The FCC commissioners voted Tuesday to give the green light to Comcast to team up with NBC Universal in a $30 billion joint venture, according to two sources close to the commissioners.
The vote was 4-1, with Commissioner Copps voting against it, providing a ringing dissent. A veteran media consolidation critic, Copps had all along said its approval was a very steep Hill for him, and ultimately it proved too high for him to climb.
Justice was expected to follow the FCC almost immediately with the word it was not going to block the deal. The FCC was reviewing the deal for its impact on public interest, while Justice focuses on competition issues.
The FCC commissioners had been vetting a draft approval circulated last month, and made some edits, but sources say the draft is essentially the same. Comcast has signaled it could live with the conditions the FCC proposed.
The deal comes with plenty of those conditions, including on access to broadcast, cable, and online content, and network neutrality conditions. The network neutrality condition will be an "enforceable commitment" even if the rules are thrown out by the courts, according to a source.
The deal also comes not quite a year since the two companies officially filed the joint venture request with the FCC Jan. 28, 2010.
The deal, which FCC officials have stressed was a joint venture rather than a merger, combines the nation's largest cable operator with a studio library and cable channel content. It creates a company majority owned by Comcast (51%) that pools all of NBCU's media content with most of Comcast's, with Comcast retaining full control of its cable and Internet assets. Comcast has the option of buying out NBCU parent GE's 49% interest in the joint venture over the next three to seven years.
The FCC's review stemmed primarily from the transfer of NBCU's broadcast licenses, and Comcast/NBCU had the burden of proving that the venture served the public interest, which is the FCC's standard of review, and includes competition, innovation, localism and diversity. If the augmented benefits (say Comcast's public interest pledges) and mitigated harms (conditions on access to content) tip the scale toward the public interest, the deal is approved.
FCC Chairman Julius Genachowski and the transaction team signaled last month the deal, with conditions, tipped the balance in favor of the public interest.
Deal critics have disagreed, but even most of them conceded the deal was going through.
An FCC source says Comcast also late Monday filed in the merger review docket officially agreeing to commit to the network neutrality conditions voluntarily even if the FCC's network neutrality rules approved Dec. 21, are eventually thrown out by the courts.
It was being described as an enforceable voluntary commitment, rather than a condition, which might be an effort to appease commission Republicans.

Yogic Hair Care
"God gave us long hair for a purpose, and He gave it to every human because God wants us to crown ourselves, to have all 26 parts of our skull in a situation so the solar polarity of our skull and brain is entitled to our infinite energy. He created us for that."
-Yogi Bhajan 1/15/97
Hair grows on almost all places on the human body, and in the science of yoga, it serves the purpose of drawing energy into each area, and protecting it. Caring for hair as a gift and a resource is another useful yogic tool for everyday, spiritual living.
Hair serves several functions for the human being:
• Maintains the body's electromagnetic field, acting as antennae for the aura.
• Hair is typically abundant where major glands function (e.g. eyebrows, under arms), affecting hormones and the entire electromagnetic body health.
• A man's beard covers the pranic nerve in the chin controlled by the moon. Without hair, the male nervous system cannot handle this energy, while the female's can.
• Gathers phosphorous and vitamin D from the sun.
• Concentrates solar energy at the pineal gland when worn in a rishi knot (see Covering the Head) at the top of the head.
• Note that wearing bangs over the forehead impedes the transmission of light to the pineal gland through the porous bones of the forehead.
• When kept uncut, the tremendous energy and materials used to build new protein-rich hair instead goes to the brain and other functions of the body.
• Uncut hair encourages rising of the Kundalini energy.
Question: Most Kundalini Yoga students let their hair grow. Is this necessary?
Yogi Bhajan: No. You can practice with any length hair, but the hair was the first technique to raise the Kundalini energy. When the hair is at its natural full length and coiled over the anterior fontanel for men or the posterior fontanel for women, it draws pranic energy into the spine. The force of this downward positive energy causes the Kundalini energy to rise for balance.
Actually, the hair was so important that the word for consciousness, kundalini, derives from the kundal which means "a coil of the beloved's hair."
Yogic treatment of your hair ensures it will optimally serve you and your higher purpose.
• Uncut hair collects prana and acts as a filter and shield.
• Includes hair all over the body (e.g. head, legs, armpits, face, etc.).
• Notice how you feel when the hair reaches its natural length. Yes, this can be a big change and take some time!
• Combing with a wooden comb (or natural bristle brush) neutralizes the static electricity, distributes natural oils, and keeps the hairs untangled.
• Combing the hair down calms and soothes.
• Combing the hair up energizes and invigorates.
• Use these effects to your advantage! Comb your hair if you need a pick-me-up or in order to relax.
• Make a habit of combing your hair for 5 minutes morning and night.
• Prior to showering, vigorously massage oil (almond oil recommended) into your hair and scalp.
• Wrap it with a thick cloth (so you don't mess up your clothes).
• Let sit for an hour or two then wash your hair as usual.
• For an extra treat, mix yogurt and a fragrance in with the oil before massaging your hair.
• Expose your hair, head, and skull to the sun at least once a week.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- Penn State's College of Information Sciences and Technology (IST) will host the 13th annual Workshop on the Economics of Information Security (WEIS) on June 23 and 24. WEIS is the leading forum for interdisciplinary scholarship on information security and privacy, combining expertise from the fields of economics, social science, business, law, policy and computer science.
"It is a wonderful opportunity to host WEIS at the College of Information Sciences and Technology," said Jens Grossklags, an assistant professor at the College of IST, and the general chair and program chair of the workshop. "The event will continue the tradition of providing novel and high-quality economic analyses of pressing security and privacy issues."
WEIS 2014 will feature a program which includes invited speakers and 20 papers which have been selected in a rigorous review process by the international program committee. Prior workshops have explored the role of incentives between attackers and defenders of information systems, identified market failures surrounding Internet security, quantified risks of personal data disclosure and assessed investments in cyber defense. The 2014 workshop will build on past efforts using empirical and analytic tools not only to understand threats, but also to strengthen security and privacy through novel evaluations of available solutions.

Coldplay to release first Live Concert DVD since 2004
Pre-order Launches Today For Tour Film / Live Album, numbered Lithograph
Out On CD/DVD, Blu-ray/CD & Digitally On November 20
EPIX To Exclusively Premiere The Concert Event On November 17
(story continues below the official Trailer for Coldplay Live
[jwplayer config="copper" mediaid="21740″]
Light up your cellphones everybody, Coldplay live is coming to a screen near you. Capitol Records is releasing Coldplay's Live 2012 on November 9. The DVD/CD documents the band's Mylo Xyloto tour that was attended by more than three million people worldwide. Fans can watch the premiere on premium tv channel EPIX November 17 or online at EpixHD.com. It's also formatted for viewing on various handheld and desktop devices.
The film was directed by Paul Dugdale, who helmed Adele's Live at the Royal Albert Hall and The Prodigy's Worlds On Fire concert films. Live 2012 includes footage from Coldplay's shows at Paris's Stade de France, Montreal's Bell Centre and last year's triumphant Pyramid Stage headline performance at Glastonbury Festival. Coldplay's 2012 outing came in at No. 1 on Billboard's latest ranking of the year's top-grossing tours.
Coldplay frontman Chris Martin said: "The Mylo Xyloto tour has been the most fun we've ever had as a band. It's felt very uplifting right from the start; partly because we are proud of the music, the LED wristbands, the pyrotechnics, the lasers and all of that stuff, but mainly because of the amazing audiences that we've been playing for. Over the years, our crowd has become more and more a part of the concert itself. They're loud, diverse, full of soul, and make the songs sound much better than we can on our own. We wanted to try to bottle the incredible feeling that they give us, and hence our concert film.â€
Live 2012 director Paul Dugdale said: "We wanted to make a film that was as intimate as it was epic, punctuating Coldplay's colour-drenched performance with candid portraits of the band. The set is curated from several concerts around the globe, using the 75,000-capacity Stade de France as the backbone. Myself and JA Digital wanted to approach this film in the same way Coldplay approach their stage show: it's essentially a film about people, and we wanted to highlight how the band have blurred the barrier between stage and audience to create a tour that reaches out to everyone from the front row of the stadium to those right at the back. It's a 90 minute kaleidoscope of emotions. My main objective as a filmmaker was to make the viewers' eyes widen and their hearts beat faster.â€
Live 2012 will be available in the U.S. on CD/DVD, Blu-ray/CD and digitally.
Coldplay has sold more than 50 million records worldwide and won numerous awards, including seven GRAMMY®s, seven BRITs, six Q Awards and five MTV Video Music Awards. "Paradise,†which won the VMA for Best Rock Video earlier this month, has 150 million views and more than 2.5 million downloads of the single have been sold.
The band has toured the world in support of its latest album, Mylo Xyloto, which scored the most No. 1 rankings of any 2011 album, topping the charts in 34 countries. Mylo Xyloto was Coldplay's third consecutive studio album to debut atop both the Billboard 200 and the U.K. album chart. Rolling Stone praised it as Coldplay's "most ambitious yet†while Pitchfork.com observed: "Mylo Xyloto works because the band once again manages to sound like Coldplay without sounding like any of their previous LPs, maintaining their stadium-spanning grandeur while subtly challenging preconceptions." "Music this uplifting, this inspirational belongs among the stars,†said Q Magazine, awarding the album five stars. The band was recently nominated for a Q Award for Best Act In The World Today and for the Best Rock award at the 2012 MTV Europe Music Awards.

As you can see, there is a NEW DESIGN on the website for HUSQVARNA VIKING®, with a lot of exciting NEW FEATURES, make sure to click around and have a look.
Some of the NEW features you'll see:
This Blog has a NEW NAME, called the Joy of Sewing Blog and I AM NEW AT WRITING IT it. My name is Carina Thavelin and I will be writing on the Joy of Sewing Blog while Lena is away on her adventure in Shanghai, China. During this year, I will share my sewing projects with tips and hints, take you behind the scenes at the Sweden office where we develop all the new products and show you all the exciting news that will be launched.
Carina Thavelin, Marketing product specialist for HUSQVARNA VIKING®, lives in Huskvarna, Sweden (Yes, the town is actually spelled with k not q :))
I am a tailor with a love for dresses - almost all my creative ideas starts with a dress. Could be anything from a picture of a designer dress that I'm inspired by or a thrifted vintage dress that I re-use and re-design. See a few snap shot pictures of my projects below.
The button dress:
I was inspired by a picture in a magazine and was lucky enough to come across a lot of old gold and silver buttons in the office. And yes, they are all sewn on with my sewing machine. It took me a while and I broke a few needles but it was definitely worth it. It's always a "showstopper".
The leather skirt:
I love to go thrifting and re-use old fabrics and clothes. This skirt is made of an old leather jacket, cut in strips and sewn on a basic skirt pattern. The jacket only cost me 10 SEK, about $1,50.
The black dress with white dots:
This outfit was inspired by the marketing material for the brand new OPAL™ sewing machines. In the brochure there are some nice projects made of black and white fabric, so when we presented and launched the machines for the Swedish dealers, I wanted to wear something to match the campaign. I came up with this outfit, the dotted dress and the striped wrap. It has become one of my favorites.
I hope you'll join me and make 2013 our most creative year ever!

Veteran smartphone manufacturer BlackBerry says it's moving away from producing its own handsets and will instead license its software to other companies.
The first deal is with an Indonesian partner, BB Merah Putih, which is led by a leading telecommunications distributor in Indonesia.
Former mobile phone manufacturer Nokia has signed a deal that'll see a new Finnish company producing Nokia-branded mobile phones and tablets.
The new company – HMD global – is being granted an exclusive branding and intellectual property licence to create Nokia-branded mobile phones and tablets for the next ten years.
Google has launched its Android Pay mobile payment service in the UK today.
It first introduced the service to the USA around nine months ago.

However, it will continue releasing updates for BB10.

Glendale, CA — Last month, more than 700 enrolled employees of Nestlé USA were able to take their first steps into The WING (Wellness In Nestlé Glendale) Powered by Plus One, a new fitness center located inside Nestlé USA's headquarters in Glendale, CA.
Open exclusively to Nestlé employees and approved contractors, The WING includes 8,500 square feet of strength training machines, free weights and cardiovascular equipment, two group fitness studios, massage rooms and fully appointed locker room facilities.
The mission of The WING is to provide the facilities, information and guidance to help Nestlé employees achieve their nutrition, health and wellness goals, according to Plus One Management, the company that will oversee the facility. Plus One's approach to management, including its service delivery systems, customized programming, advanced technology and access to a long line of professionals, will help ensure that these goals are achieved, the company says.
Plus One has worked closely with Nestlé for more than a year-and-a-half leading up to the opening of The WING. Initially selected for design and development consulting, Plus One provided recommendations on all aspects of the facility's design, participated in project meetings during the pre-construction and construction phase, and coordinated the equipment and supplies procurement, delivery and installation. After a national search, Nestlé selected Plus One for the ongoing management of The WING.
"As a company founded on many of the same principles as Plus One — nutrition, health and wellness — we are proud to have Nestlé USA as a valued client," says Plus One CEO and founder Mike Motta. "This engagement has allowed us to show our strengths in all areas of our corporate wellness business, from design and development consulting to facility management and program development. We look forward to providing a rewarding experience for Nestlé employees for years to come."

Met Gala 2015: Red Carpet Photos
The Metropolitan Museum of Art's annual Costume Institute gala, also known as the "Oscars of the fashion world" has come and gone once again. This year's theme was "China: Through the Looking Glass" – the exhibition of the same name (curated and organized by longtime MET curator Andrew Bolton) looks at China's influence on western fashion and opens this month.
There was glamour, there was edginess, and there was (of course) ridiculousness on the red carpet. All courtesy of celebrities, models, designers and anyone else who was either a guest or paid the hefty sum of $25,000 for a ticket!
PS. Shoutout to the fabulous Chiara Ferragni, who was a guest of Calvin Klein's Francisco Costa, for making fashion history by being the first blogger ever to attend the MET gala!

The 2014 Met Gala: Gowns, Pants & Crop Tops, Oh My!
On Monday we saw yet another "fashion prom" come and go. Better known as the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute gala, or Met gala, the yearly event didn't disappoint. As always, along with glamour and sophistication, weirdness and questionable choices followed. There were those that followed the theme and those that didn't (such as gala rule-maker herself, Anna Wintour).
This year's theme was Charles James: Beyond Fashion. Seeing as Charles James was a mid-century designer of iconic ball gowns, you'd expect to see exactly that. There were some ball gowns, but being an unpredictable crowd, there were of course other looks that included pants, short dresses and crop tops.
Not being one to stick to the rules, I actually liked most of the looks that went against the theme. Ball gowns just aren't my cup of tea, as pretty as they may be (did not mean for that to rhyme, but I'll go with it). That being said, below are some of the looks seen at this year's Met gala, in no particular order.
I'll discuss my top picks in my next post, but in the meantime, who were your favourites? Let me know!

2009-10 Conference Primers: #8 – Conference USAPosted by rtmsf on October 30th, 2009
RTC is seeking a 2009-10 correspondent for Conference USA. If you're interested, please email us at email@example.com
Predicted Order of Finish:
- Tulsa (13-3)
- Memphis (12-4)
- Houston (11-5)
- Marshall (9-7)
- Southern Miss (8-8)
- Tulane (8-8)
- Rice (6-10)
- Central Florida (6-10)
- East Carolina (3-13)
All-Conference Team:
- Aubrey Coleman (G), Houston
- Arnett Moultrie (F/C), UTEP
- Jerome Jordan (C), Tulsa
- Ben Uzoh (G), Tulsa
- Randy Culpepper (G), UTEP
Impact Newcomer. Will Coleman (F), Memphis
What You Need To Know. Everyone knows about Memphis' off-season. First and foremost, it's important to know who's breathing down Memphis' neck if they should falter like many are predicting. Tulsa is a popular preseason pick because of the excellent senior duo of Ben Uzoh and Jerome Jordan, the latter being the popular pick for preseason CUSA Player Of The Year. Ignore UTEP at your own peril, with a formidable inside-outside duo of their own in the 6'11 sophomore Arnett Moultrie and junior guard Randy Culpepper. Houston boasts the best true guard combo with seniors Aubrey Coleman and Kelvin Lewis, both averaging around 19 PPG. Even Marshall and Central Florida look to be improved this season. Now, keep in mind, this is all IF Memphis actually loses a conference game (we still can't get over their 61 straight CUSA wins) and trips up. He might just be 31 years old, but new head coach Josh Pastner will surprise everyone with how easily he takes to his new job. People might forget that Duke transfer Elliot Williams is eligible for the Tigers now, and he will provide immediate help along with the rim-kissing (literally…there are photos of this) 6'9 260-pound junior-college transfer Will Coleman. This will be a fun conference to watch this season because the issue isn't so much that Memphis is free-falling back to the rest of the conference — it's the fact that the rest of the conference is actually catching up to Memphis.
Predicted Champion. Tulsa (NCAA Seed: #7). The Golden Hurricane is our choice to supplant Memphis and take the title in Conference USA this season, as Doug Wojcik's team has been waiting for this opportunity. If John Calipari, John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and so on were currently residing in Memphis, we wouldn't be considering this, but Memphis' loss is Tulsa's gain because they have an exceptionally talented and experienced team returning this year. Point guard Ben Uzoh and center Jerome Jordan enter the 2009-10 season as two of the best players at their position in the conference, and it's easy to understand why: Uzoh did a little bit of everything last season, to the tune of 14.0 PPG, 4.9 RPG, 3.6 APG, and 1.5 SPG in over 35 minutes per game, while Jordan continued to progress toward play-for-pay with 13.8 PPG, 8.6 RPG, and 2.6 BPG on 58.6% shooting from the field. Justin Hurtt, Glenn Andrews and Steven Idlet also return as key contributors from a team that was 25-11 overall and 12-4 in CUSA, including three losses by a combined four points (especially tough was a buzzer-beating 1-point loss vs. Memphis). Even if Memphis had remained intact, Tulsa would have still viewed the 2009-10 season as a likely NCAA one, it's just that now they're going in as the favorite.

since I will be out of town for a wedding until then. Since I will not be able to blog tommorow, here is a little quote for the Feast of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
Mary is the "Stella Matutina," the Morning Star—after the Dark Night, but always Heralding the Sun
by Venerable John Henry Newman, C.O.
"What is the nearest approach in the way of symbols, in this world of sight and sense, to represent to us the glories of that higher world which is beyond our bodily perceptions? What are the truest tokens and promises here, poor though they may be, of what one day we hope to see hereafter, as being beautiful and rare? Whatever they may be, surely the Blessed Mother of God may claim them as her own. And so it is; two of them are ascribed to her as her titles, in her Litany—the stars above, and flowers below. She is at once the Rosa Mystica and the Stella Matutina.
And of these two, both of them well suited to her, the Morning Star becomes her best, and that for three reasons.
First, the rose belongs to this earth, but the star is placed in high heaven. Mary now has no part in this nether world. No change, no violence from fire, water, earth, or air, affects the stars above; and they show themselves, ever bright and marvellous, in all regions of this globe, and to all the tribes of men.
And next, the rose has but a short life; its decay is as sure as it was graceful and fragrant in its noon. But Mary, like the stars, abides for ever, as lustrous now as she was on the day of her Assumption; as pure and perfect, when her Son comes to judgment, as she is now.
Lastly, it is Mary's prerogative to be the Morning Star, which heralds in the sun. She does not shine for herself, or from herself, but she is the reflection of her and our Redeemer, and she glorifies Him. When she appears in the darkness, we know that He is close at hand. He is Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End. Behold He comes quickly, and His reward is with Him, to render to everyone according to his works. 'Surely I come quickly. Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.' " - Meditations and Devotions

An Interview With Lisa Jackson
I'm very pleased to have Lisa Jackson here during publication week for 'Without Mercy'.
Tell us about your most recent book 'Without Mercy'. It sounds like a fascinating premise.
The idea for WITHOUT MERCY came to me at a traffic light. I was waiting for the light to turn from red to green and was listening to my favourite radio station when an advertisement for a school for troubled teens was broadcast. In the ad, the mother was worried sick about a child with declining grades, escalating bad attitude and friends who were running with the wrong crowd. She told the announcer that she'd found the answer to her daughter's problems in a school for troubled kids. She'd shipped her daughter off to a school with little contact with the outside world and when the daughter returned, she'd once again become her "normal" loving self. "Huh," I thought. I'd raised boys who were far from angels, but what would it have taken me to send the kid off for someone else to raise and turn around? The idea kept growing and I was so caught in it, that the driver behind me had to lay on his horn to snap me out of it as the light had, indeed, turned green.
After nearly jumping out of my skin, I did a quick U turn and called my editor, then mapped out the story. I quit the book I was writing and WITHOUT MERCY was started as my editor loved the idea.
What first attracted you to the idea of writing crime/thrillers?
I've always loved puzzles and the human psyche. I grew up reading mysteries—from Nancy Drew to Agatha Christie and I loved moody books like Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier and Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte. I started writing romance novels thirty years ago, but always had a bend toward mysteries and crime, so my writing kind of evolved, as did the popularity of the romantic suspense thriller. So here I am today. It all worked out.
Your writing is in more than one genre, was that down to a deliberate decision to explore different types of writing?
I write what I like. I don't like following rules or prescribed plots. That was difficult for me as I started out in category romance and was told over and over again to tone down the suspense. But over the years, suspense became more popular and so I am lucky enough to write the kind of stories I love to read!
When you sit down to write a new book, do you find inspiration in particular ways or from particular sources?
Inspiration comes from all kinds of sources: an article I've read, or an overheard conversation, or a bit on the news, whatever. In the case of WITHOUT MERCY it was a radio ad. (That's never happened before!) Though I can't type very well and am a horrible speller, I'm lucky enough to be blessed with a pretty vivid imagination, so story ideas aren't difficult. It's the execution, the actual sitting and writing that's a little more troublesome.
What are you working on now and what do you see yourself writing in the future?
I'm working on a book called YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW and it's kind of a moody, I like to think Hitchcockian type of book, told primarily from the heroine's point of view. It's very psychological and I'm having a lot of fun writing it!
What's the best advice you could give to someone who is writing a novel and hoping to get it published?
I encourage a first-time novelist to write the whole book. It's easy to start a book and often times a writer has a great ending in mind, but it's the pages in between that are the "proof in the pudding." An idea is not a book. Write it from page one until "the end."
Many thanks to Lisa for those inspiring answers.
'Without Mercy' by Lisa Jackson is out in paperback now. You can buy it here.
Please also pop over to Bookersatz for my review of 'Lasting Damage' by Sophie Hannah which is one of the best books I've read recently.

I love how the idea for Without Mercy came. It sounds like a great read.
Oh yes, the 'pages in between'. They're the tricky little devils. :)

Fascinating account of how the book came about.

I love Without Mercy. I hope Lisa writes a sequel to it. I couldn't put the book down, she had me sucked it.

2010 in Pictures
In January Angela had her very first season in floor hockey. She LOVED it!
And Connecting the Rainbow was formed, which meant collecting all the donated supplies for Bulgaria.
In March we spent a lot of time preventing cabin fever as we waited for warmer weather.
We didn't know it yet, but April was the month that would change our lives forever.
These boots would see places I'd never dreamed of.
I loaded up all my things, plus two hundred pounds of donated supplies, and headed for Serbia and Bulgaria!
I met the most amazing children there! EVERY ONE of these children is coming home soon, or is already HOME with their forever family!!!!
I saw places rich with historical importance.
And in April I met Axel for the very first time.
I got to experience wonderful moments.
Learn what happens when there are language barriers
And make friends for life.
May brought a tooth extraction for Angela
And a lot of lay'in around!
June brought the birth of baby Earl (son of Dean's nephew)
June also brought Angela's 14th birthday...
And of course party tricks!
In June Angela went to camp. Twice.
In July we went north to my parent's home for my sister Sandie's wedding.
And Dean worked on getting the house painted. (it's December...it's still not done.)
In July, Angela's oldest brother Rob and his family came to visit.
And some of us just tried to be cool!
I August I had my 25 year class reunion. Really? TWENTY FIVE YEARS?
Angela played some guitar
And Bella came to our house to wait the arrival of her babies.
September was all about exercises in patience
And watching the puppies grow, which is also all about patience!
In October we watched the puppies grow some more.
Angela had her area bowling tournament...
Where she won another ribbon (and a gold at state!)
I also put our Dossier in the mail to Axel's country!
The last week of October Bella's puppies went home to their new families.
November was all about getting ready for Axel to come home!
And last, but not least, December brought me to Serbia to complete our adoption of Axel.
Meeting Papa and Angela for the very first time!
Very first night in his new bed

Mark Morris Brings His Musicality to Tel Aviv
Video: Preview of Mark Morris Dance Group's Tel Aviv performances
During the first year that I lived in Israel, most of the foreign dance companies which came to town hailed from Europe. But more recently, a number of well-known American companies have toured to Israel, including Alonzo King LINES Ballet, Momix, and Hubbard Street Dance Chicago. Now the Mark Morris Dance Group is headed to Tel Aviv's Opera House for six performances split among two programs. A few weeks ago I spoke to Morris via Skype, and based on our conversation, I published the article below as "Moving to the Music" in the Jerusalem Post. Read on to learn more about Morris's connection to music and about his company's tour to Tel Aviv.
* * *
Moving to the Music
"For me, live music is not a radical, weird extravagance; it's absolute necessity, so that everyone in the theater – audience and performers – is alive," asserts choreographer Mark Morris. Based in Brooklyn, New York, Morris is one of the United States' most celebrated choreographers and a popular, familiar artist abroad. He set two of his works on the Batsheva Dance Company during the 1980s and subsequently spent three years in residence at the Théâtre Royal de la Monnaie in Brussels.
It was after this period that Morris, who is renowned for his finely tuned musicality and had always preferred live to recorded accompaniment, made "a solemn vow to only perform with live music, no matter what." Reflecting on this unwavering commitment, he explains, "of course it's less work and it's less money and it's less time consuming to use recorded music, but as far as I'm concerned, everybody has those records at home."

Back in the United States, Morris assembled a roster of top-notch musicians who, in varying combinations, perform alongside the Mark Morris Dance Group both at home and on tour. When the MMDG visits the Tel Aviv Opera House later this month, the company's nineteen dancers will be joined by several members of the MMDG Music Ensemble for two diverse programs of Morris's captivating choreography.
As he divulges the list of works on the two bills, Morris notes, "I like to think of it as one program that takes two nights to watch." The MMDG last visited Israel in the mid-1990s, and Morris suggests that audiences take advantage of the company's rare appearance by attending both evenings. "It's really a very different experience," he promises. "They're both very complete programs with a big variety of approaches and music."

Listening to Morris talk about the repertory his group will perform in Israel, it's clear that his work holds a powerful attraction not only for modern dance enthusiasts but also for classical music buffs. Scanning over the list of works on Program A – All Fours, V, and Visitation – he muses, "Well, it's Bartok, Schumann, and Beethoven; that's pretty good already." Then he turns to Program B, noting with approval the two Mozart compositions for Eleven and Double as well as Lou Harrison's Grand Duo, to which Morris created a dance of the same name.
While Morris always studies his selected music meticulously, he feels a sense of artistic freedom in the way he works with each score. "As a choreographer or as a listener, what you find in a piece of music is there," he claims. "There's no arguing it; it's not a word translation thing. It's the same with a dance: it doesn't have to go in any particular way with the music. It's different for every piece, I hope. I like a big variety of approaches, so that's why I choose such different pieces of music."

It's this voracious appetite for music and open-minded attitude that fosters such an extraordinary range in Morris's extensive repertory and indeed, even in a single program. Set to Mozart's "Piano Concerto No. 11" (arranged for piano and strings) and his "Sonata in D Major" for two pianos, respectively, Eleven and Double share a refined movement quality which matches the tone of the music. Yet Grand Duo, which closes Program B, is what Morris calls a "perfect antidote to those [two works] . . . It's wild. It's quite extreme and it's quite gorgeous."

Asked if he has any words of wisdom for Tel Aviv audiences, Morris advises, "Come ready to listen and watch at the same time. That's already a lot to do," he says laughingly. "[It's] already a big responsibility to watch and listen at the same time. But," he adds wisely, "there are many rewards for that."
Concert Information
The Mark Morris Dance Group performs at the Tel Aviv Opera House from December 29 to January 3. Tickets (159-339 NIS) are available at (03) 692-7777.

So You Want to Add 50 Homers?!
Following up on yesterday's post, I thought I'd demonstrate how the Angels can add 50 HR in 2008 without spending $30 million/year for Alex Rodriguez or trading the farm for Miguel Cabrera.
The central point of my argument is that injuries cost the Angels their power this year, not a lack of talent. Keep the lineup healthy in 2008, add a little experience for the youngsters, and hand over third base to Brandon Wood, and adding 50 HR is pretty easy.
Let's start with Garret Anderson. Once healthy, he was his old self. In 108 games, Anderson hit 16 HR. Project that to 150 games and you get 22 HR. That includes games in the first half where he was playing hurt, but for the sake of argument let's say a healthy Anderson adds 5 HR.
Casey Kotchman hit 11 HR in 137 games, but as we know his power disappeared after he was hit in the head by that pickoff throw. In 2008, he'll be more experienced and his body will have matured a bit more. Can a healthy Kotchman playing every day hit an additional 10 HR? That's a reasonable assumption. So now we're at +15.
Juan Rivera missed most of 2007 after breaking his leg last winter in Venezuela. He managed to appear in 14 games in September and hit two homers. In 2006, he hit 23 HR in 124 games. So if Rivera stays healthy all year, can he add 20 HR to the lineup? That's reasonable. So now we're at +35.
Howie Kendrick hit only 5 HR in 88 games, missing half the season due to hand injuries. With a strong hand, a full season and a year of experience under his belt, do you think he can hit 10 HR instead of five? Yeah, that's reasonable. So now we're at +40.
Finally, we turn over third base to Brandon Wood. It's his rookie year and, like Mike Schmidt, he'll probably be a whiff machine his first season but it's reasonable to think he'll hit 10-15 HR. Let's be conservative and pencil in 10 HR. So now we're at +50.
Playing Wood at 3B leaves no place for Chone Figgins. He can remain as a super-sub, or coming off a career year I'd prefer to include him in a trade that brings up a #3 pitcher, maybe adding Kendry Morales to the package.
In conclusion, there's just no reason to empty the vault for Rodriguez, or to flush the farm for Cabrera. The solutions are already here. The Angels just need to stay healthy.
By the way, adding 50 HR this year would have given the Angels 173 HR, compared to 166 HR for the Red Sox. So much for the "Big Bat" anxiety.
