CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – For the third time in four years the MIT women's basketball team was the recipient of the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Sportsmanship Award. Voted upon by the league's student-athletes, the award recognizes the team that best demonstrates the ideals of the NEWMAC and its Code of Conduct.
"It's an honor that our peers chose us for the NEWMAC Sportsmanship Award," commented co-captain Sally Simpson. "Throughout the season I was impressed with how my teammates conducted themselves following wins and tough losses, especially because we have such a young squad. Our coaches always made it a focus to represent MIT well on and off the court, and it's great to have our conference recognize that."
The award caps off a season that saw the Engineers defeat conference foes WPI and Wheaton College for the first time since the 2002-03 campaign. In addition, the squad set an Institute record for fewest turnovers in a game, committing just six against Wheaton College. Rookies Aparna Sud and Lauren Sascha Burton made their way into the MIT record book. Sud tied for seventh in three-point field goal percentage with a mark of 33.3 percent while Burton's tally of 87 assists ranks 10th. Simpson finished her career tied for eighth in three-point field goal percentage with a total of 26.4 percent.

Weight loss
I am 55 Kgs and 5'2" tall. I wish to reduce atleast 7 more kilos so that I can look slim and trim. Could you please suggest a workout routine that is easy and fun and suggest a simple diet so as to achieve my target.

Hi, your BMI is 23 it is with in the normal range. You are not obese. If want control weight you can follow these. 1)Dietary changes Reducing calories and practicing healthier eating habits are vital to overcoming obesity. Although you may lose weight quickly at first, slow and steady weight loss over the long term is considered the safest way to lose weight and the best way to keep it off permanently. Avoid drastic and unrealistic diet changes, such as crash diets, because they're unlikely to help you keep excess weight off for the long term. Dietary changes to treat obesity include: Cutting calories. The key to weight loss is reducing how many calories you take in. You can review your typical eating and drinking habits to see how many calories you normally consume and where you can cut back. Some foods — such as desserts, candies, fats and processed foods are high in energy density. This means that a small volume of that food has a large number of calories. In contrast, other foods, such as fruits and vegetables, have lower energy density. These foods provide a larger portion size with a fewer number of calories. By eating larger portions of foods that have fewer calories, you reduce hunger pangs, take in fewer calories and feel better about your meal, which contributes to how satisfied you feel overall. Making healthier choices. To make your overall diet healthier, eat more plant-based foods, such as fruits, vegetables and whole-grain carbohydrates. Also emphasize lean sources of protein — such as beans, lentils and soy — and lean meats. If you like fish, try to include fish twice a week. Limit salt and added sugar. Stick with low-fat dairy products. Eat small amounts of fats, and make sure they come from heart-healthy sources, such as olive, canola and nut oils. Restricting certain foods. Certain diets limit the amount of a particular food group, such as high-carbohydrate or full-fat foods. Drinking sugar-sweetened beverages is a sure way to consume more calories than you intended, and limiting these drinks or eliminating them altogether is a good place to start cutting calories. Meal replacements. These plans suggest that you replace one or two meals with their products — such as low-calorie shakes or meal bars — and eat healthy snacks and a healthy, balanced third meal that's low in fat and calories. In the short term, this type of diet can help you lose weight. Keep in mind that these diets likely won't teach you how to change your overall lifestyle, though, so you may have to keep this up if you want to keep your weight off. Be wary of quick fixes. You may be tempted by fad diets that promise fast and easy weight loss. The reality, however, is that there are no magic foods or quick fixes. Fad diets may help in the short term, but the long-term results don't appear to be any better than other diets. Similarly, you may lose weight on a crash diet, but you're likely to regain it when you stop the diet. To lose weight — and keep it off — you have to adopt healthy-eating habits that you can maintain over time. 2)Exercise and activity Increased physical activity or exercise is an essential part of obesity treatment. Most people who are able to maintain their weight loss for more than a year get regular exercise, even simply walking. To boost your activity level: Exercise. People who are overweight or obese need to get at least 150 minutes a week of moderate-intensity physical activity to prevent further weight gain or to maintain the loss of a modest amount of weight. To achieve more-significant weight loss, you may need to exercise 300 minutes or more a week. You probably will need to gradually increase the amount you exercise as your endurance and fitness improve. Keep moving. Even though regular aerobic exercise is the most efficient way to burn calories and shed excess weight, any extra movement helps burn calories. Making simple changes throughout your day can add up to big benefits. Park farther from store entrances, rev up your household chores, garden, get up and move around periodically. Don't take any Weight losing medications.

Ian Somerhalder Talks '50 Shades of Grey' Role
Ian Somerhalder gets a smooch from a fan while leaving Live! with Kelly and Michael on Wednesday (March 13) in New York City.
The 33-year-old was mobbed by his adoring fans outside the studio after making an appearance on the show, but he certainly seemed to be enjoying it!
Later that night, Ian also made an appearance on Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live where he talked about being the fan-favorite choice for the coveted role of Christian Grey in the 50 Shades of Grey movie.
"There are so many young boys up for this role," the actor shared. "I can't say anything other than it's a very interesting story."
And when Ian was asked if he was single, he responded: "I would not say that. That's not the case."
Ian is currently in a relationship with his The Vampire Diaries co-star, Nina Dobrev!
FYI: Ian is wearing 3×1 jeans.

EYE FOR DESIGN | Six skincare at Marionnaud
There are few, if any words, I can add to the bit that The Die Line wrote on Six, this new range of skincare being launched at Marionnaud chemist in France. One of the commenters does point out that there was a similar egg-like design with L'eggs pantyhose (I do remember these), but I don't think it's a co-opt of the design, epsecially after reading why they chose such a shape (to '[symbolize] the cell, rebirth and perfection') to encapsulate a range of skincare products.
The Die Line says "The concept of this new french line of cosmetic products is based on the idea that beauty has six vital needs: Quench, Nourish, Breathe, Laugh, Dream and Love, so for each need there is a product: a moisturizing cream to Quench, an oxygenating gel to Breathe, a serum eyes and lips to Laugh and so on..."
This is in the same vein as some other amazingly innovative beauty products that have been launched in the last twelve months, completely re-inventing the idea of how we see and use our daily products. Ellis Faas, Fred Farrugia, Le Metier de Beaute are brands of the same innovative ilk.
We hope to see more of this imaginative and out-of-the-box thinking in beauty.

LOCKPORT – A City of Lockport man pleaded not guilty in Niagara County Court Wednesday to an indictment accusing him of raping an unconscious woman last year.
Dalvan H. Robinson, 51, of Pennsylvania Avenue, is charged with first- and third-degree rape and first-degree sexual abuse.
The incident with a woman, now 37, allegedly occurred in Lockport July 30, 2011. The woman became alert enough during the incident to identify Robinson, Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth R. Donatello said. Robinson was not arrested until July 5 of this year, as police sought the results of DNA testing.

EXCLUSIVEKhloe Kardashian may actually be a little too popular for her own good ... because we've learned E! is throwing up roadblocks in the negotiations for Khloe to host "X Factor."
Multiple sources connected to the negotiations tell TMZ ... "X Factor" producers cannot sign Khloe to the show unless E! gives permission -- exclusivity is part of the Kardashian's contract with the network.
We're told the problem isn't so much that E! doesn't want Khloe to do Simon Cowell's show ... it's that Khloe would have to promote the program by spending a lot of time doing interviews, social media and making appearances, and E! is worried it might dilute Khloe's impact on their reality shows and also create time conflicts.
One source directly connected with the negotiations tells TMZ ... it looks like both sides will reach an agreement and Khloe will be able to host "X Factor," but the source added, "I wouldn't bet my house on it."
We are told, in the event that Khloe's deal falls apart, they would probably pick Mario Lopez as the second choice, but "X Factor" has its sights set on Khloe as a single host.

The city of Columbus is looking at expanding its residential curbside program to include condominiums and apartments.
The city of Columbus is looking at expanding its residential curbside program to include condominiums and apartments.
The review will start after collection begins Feb. 1 for the final of five phases of residential curbside recycling, said Erin Miller, the city's environmental steward.
"We have heard a lot of feedback from different people who live in condos and apartments who would like to be part of the program," she said.
Miller said her office will try to determine which complexes would be suitable for the expansion.
The blue 64-gallon containers might not work for high-rise buildings and high-density developments, so the city will work with the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio to re-evaluate the location of current drop-off centers and put them closer to the affected areas.
"We're excited that we can have the two programs come together to work for residents in the best way possible," said Jodi Andes, spokeswoman for SWACO.
"We're excited with the accomplishments Columbus has made and there seems to be renewed interest in recycling in Columbus," she said.
City officials will reach out to area commissions and civic associations to help with the process, Miller said. It's unclear if the expansion will begin this year.
"The idea is to not expend additional funds than what we currently have budgeted," Miller said.
Meanwhile, the curbside recycling has a 98 percent participation rate, Miller said.
In 2012, the city collected a total of 10,019 tons from curbside recycling and a total of 26,260 tons of recycling from curbside, drop-off sites and subscription services, she said.
That fell a little short of the goal of 28,000 tons. Still, the city has successfully diverted 10.76 percent of waste from the landfill, saving $1.46 million in tipping fees. The goal there was 11.2 percent.
Miller said she considers the program to be an overall success.
"We're very pleased with the results and we're excited for 2013," she said.
John Ehlers, president of the Northwest Civic Association, said he supports the expansion effort, particularly for his area of town, which is greatly populated with multi-family complexes.
"I am sure those living in apartments and condos would be excited to participate," Ehlers said.
"I'm sure many do recycle at their locations, churches and schools," he said. "With those kinds of space constraints, there have to be options available."

I'll rate based on where you are situated.. so if I say Top 10 then maybe your signature is the 10th best sig in the forum.. maybe is 3rd best.. maybe it's Nr. #1 xD.. etc
Avatar - Top 40 Avatars.. IMO most people would have a hard time noticing that the interior border is only on the bottom and right side, they might think that it isn't noticeable because of the dark nature of the pic.. BTW nice pic Top 30 stills.. is that Saber?..Cyz
Avatar - Top 60, cute but.... it's too boring.. I personally think that if it's going to be an animation it has to be something more complex, or something cute.. and there's nothing cute about her laughing. :)~ ok I feel laziness kicking in right about now, heh.. I'll rate more people later :p ~

Yes it's from YKK, the scans (art) for that series are very rare and few in number.. :DQuote - Pelly
Hmm.. what does Kudos mean?!~
Heh.. well there's no rule against it.. and I always like to be original and try something new ^^' at least a few times..Quote - Pelly
C'mon now.. that's the hole beuty of it all.. Pelly, Excellent.. no wait they're all excellent, heh. Ok, I'd say the sig is Top 25.. the only problem I have with it is that the font is pretty small and a little fuzzy.. hurts my eyes.. and the avatar.. mm.. top 15.. nice to see you using an avatar with that kind of feeling.. people usually avoid them.. ^^Quote - Heikuro
I'd rate your title but I don't understand it, and you haven't place anything as your profile picture.. ^^'
BTW Pellissier sounds pretty cool.. but its hard to pronounce correctly. I keep misremembering it.
Now I'm sure I saw that pic used at least 2 other times.. once in a sig and another time in a avy.. I never forget..Quote - Pelly
Hmm.. maybe Theclow knows something..
Well it's original in a way.. I guess.. :)
Signature - of unknown quality ATM.. I think you forgot to add a border.. if that pattern thing is the border then the exterior edges needs some work. :)
Let's see what else.. :D too much blue.. for some reason it's hard to focus on all of it at the same time.. Cool font settings BTW ;) luv them..
Avatar - is that a 1px center-stroke border I see.. or is it a colored stroke with some opacity.. almost looks borderless.. well almost~.. great source BTW Top 10 as a still. ;)
Title - Heh. Cute..
Profile Picture - Hm.. uh O_O ok so your not a guy.. hmm.. *thinks of perverted comments* uhh.. OOKKK....
@ Heikuro
I don't understand why you left a duplicate frame in there.. I personally don't like how it seems to girk at the end because of it. O_O
I see you made it all in one package.. wouldn't it have been better to separate the left and right part and save them as 32bit PNG and and just the middle part as a gif.. the edge would look a little better IMO.. gifs suk at going from color straight to 0 fill. :(
BTW.. is that Kakashi in your sig and av?.. Anyway..
Signature - Top 50, it's just too game-like.
Avatar - Top 15 as a still.. luv all the beautiful colors in it.. and the white border fits in good..
Username - uh.. kind of hard to remember.. :D

Woot!!! Charmers!!! The last deck I played (The first Charmer evolution, with the whole flip to capture thing)...
Going back to the siggy, you color is destroying the meaning of each Charmers... It'd be better if you somehow separate each one, and give them their own color theme... 4/10

@13: Kudos is a common form of praise ... a little more is said on Wiki.
As for the avatar, I guess I'm just an unhealable romantic ^^ ... and that is reflected on my works .. if the kind of feeling I try to give is gotten by the viewer, then that makes me somehow glad ^_^
It comes from Whisper of the Heart, a movie which I wholeheartedly suggest to whoever hasn't watched it ^^
Heikuro: Too much red and too much characters (which lead to confusion). Basically, the viewer doesn't know where to watch, in your sign, while I think there's always to be a focus, a distinguished subject, standing out from the others. Also borderless. I'll be a bit more lenient than ~Tsukuyomi , but not as much as I would .. 5/10
~Tsukuyomi: well, let's say it's spectacular for the eyes, though the artifacts are clearly visible. In facts it is just 23 Kb and jpeg. Maybe trying png and eventually (if size becomes too big) reduce the size of the pic.. A small border would still suit imho (either thin black, either white+black combo). But it's undeniable that the impact of the sign is actually good 7,5/10

BlackCatXIII ~ its pettit! would look better if it was bigger and im sure you can make the right side transparent where it meets the border line 7/10
Heikuro ~ nice but not much contrast in the colors...its too much of a 1 theme thing with kinda spoils the image...and a border would be nice like the font tho ^_^ 8/10
Tsukuyomi ~ your FF13 one looks stunning graphically...but if looked closely its rather pixalized...like the sig that your are currently using >.< 8/10
phew i have a new one at last ^_^ its the "walking trap" from happiness!...and btw there is a boarder...just that the colors are too similar...i might change it if i have time

Deathkillz - nice job of putting two versions of the same character, i love the chibi version. I'm not understanding the text is that something from the anime that character is from? I think a nice purple/pink 1px border on the outside would help frame the image, and maybe use a different font type than your alias name.

I decided to make a signature banner freehand in Photoshop. I haven't had time to color it in, though, and I don't know when I'll find time to to so in the future... >_>
...And if the art's so bad and chibified that the characters are unrecognizable, they're supposed to be Lelouch, Suzaku, and C.C. from Code Geass - Lelouch of the Rebellion.

Porn Copyright Troll's New Tactic: Maybe Public Humiliation Will Magically Make People Pay
from the well,-that's-one-strategy dept
The article also notes that some legal experts believe that this move will violate Germany's (somewhat strict) privacy laws. Either way, U+C claims that it has a list of 150,000 people who it wants to pay up. I actually wonder if a list quite that large actually makes it counterproductive. When you're in the company of so many people, perhaps it's not quite so embarrassing... Of course, given that, perhaps it's not surprising that U+C has indicated elsewhere that it's going to be releasing the info in drips and drabs, and will be targeting those who have the most to lose if it's exposed that they were downloading hardcore porn.
According to comments an Urmann insider made to Wochenblatt, the law firm is planning to target the most vulnerable people first – those with IP addresses registered to churches, police stations and – quite unbelievably – the embassies of Arab countries.How nice of them.

Since the Mets have Kelvim Escobar plugged into the set-up role it leaves them with a decision to make on Bobby Parnell.
Do they leave him in the bullpen in a less pressurized role, or if their long-term projection is for him as a starter, do they send him to the minors in that capacity?
The Mets bounced Parnell around last year from a seventh-inning reliever, to set-up reliever when JJ Putz was injured to the rotation when the roof caved in.
Parnell has a starter's arm, but is lacking in the development of his secondary pitches. That was apparent in his stint last September as a starter. Parnell did not pitch well, but with the season lost, I thought the Mets should have stayed with him longer in the rotation. It could have only helped in his development.
I don't know where the Mets' thinking currently is on Parnell. If they like him in the pen, then keep him in the pen on the major league level where he had some success. But, if they believe he's a starter, then they should have him start the season in the minors in that capacity.
However, and this is where the Mets' lack of depth hurts them again, their bullpen is so weak they might not have any other option but to use him in relief, further delaying his development as a starter.

text: Rethink MLV IBR Vaccines November 28, 2012 10:17 AM Tweet Some dairies are finding 25% abortion rates following vaccination with modified-live IBR vaccines. TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Jim Dickrell Dairy Herd Management Dairy Editor Email Modified-live versions implicated in repro failures Growing evidence suggests that modified-live virus (MLV) vaccines for infectious bovine rhinotracheitis (IBR) do more harm than good when given to pregnant cattle. IBR is a herpes virus. Like all herpes viruses, it can go into a latency phase within the animal's brain. But when the animal is stressed with another shot of the live virus, the virus is reactivated, enters the bloodstream and migrates to the ovaries and fast-growing tissue such as embryos and fetuses. Once there, it replicates and does its dirty work, says Chris Chase, a veterinarian with South Dakota State University. "Reproduction is a big problem with this virus," he says. "Diagnosticians now have enough experience with these episodes to say that post-vaccination abortion can occur following on-label use of vaccines with modified-live vaccine IBR virus," adds Donald O'Toole, a veterinarian with the University of Wyoming. "It is not just a problem when MLV vaccines are used off-label, as has been known for years." Bonus Content Vira Shield CattleTalk Videos Abortion storms and poor reproduction can result, says Doug Scholz, director of veterinary services for Novartis Animal Health. He points to a number of large western dairies that experienced high numbers of abortions and poor conception rates when MLV IBR vaccines were given in the dry period and close-up pens. One Colorado dairy was seeing an abortion rate of nearly 25% and a conception rate of just 30%. When the dairy stopped using the MLV IBR vaccine, abortions dropped to 8% and the conception rate climbed to 45%. On a second dairy, pregnancy losses dropped from nearly 30% to less than 10% and the conception rate jumped by 15% when the ML IBR vaccine was no longer used. At the University of Wyoming, researchers found one or two aborted fetuses per day some 30 to 40 days after an MLV IBR vaccine was given to Angus heifers that were seven months pregnant. Total losses were 25% in the 55 heifers studied. "There was no evidence of infection other than IBR," O'Toole says. "My recommendation: Use inactivated IBR vaccines on breeding females." The tendency for the IBR virus to go into latency is also a problem when young calves are vaccinated with a modified-live vaccine. When they're later stressed, the virus can then be reactivated. While this may cause only a slight fever for a day or two, the vaccinated animal can also shed live, virulent virus to its pen mates. If those animals are not vaccinated, an IBR outbreak can occur, says Clinton Jones, a veterinarian at the University of Nebraska. His bottom line: "Do not use an MLV IBR vaccine on young animals and do not mix unvaccinated calves." Inactivated IBR vaccines for both cows and calves are the preferred method of vaccination, say these veterinarians. "Inactivated vaccines will decrease symptoms during clinical outbreaks, and they eliminate the possibility of virus spread to the fetus," Jones says. Back to news

'Basketball Wives' Gloria Govan Wants to 'Knock Out' Shaunie O'Neal? (VIDEO)
"Basketball Wives LA" star Gloria Govan recently lashed out at the Miami cast of the popular franchise and while some fans believe that the reality star may have been joking, others are convinced that her infamous feud with producer Shaunie O'Neal remains unresolved.
Govan, 27, is currently training and perfecting her combating skills for a new project with the Comedy Shaq Network called "Clean Ops" in which she plays a female assassin. When asked about how she would use her new found skills on any "Basketball Wives" cast members, the mother of two took jabs at the Miami cast.
"I think I'd use my moves on every cast member in Miami. I would wait for Evelyn. Evelyn would be last. I'd knock out Shaunie first ... I'd back hand the s--- out of Shaunie first," Govan told EUR associate Cherise Nicole in an interview at at Evolution Dance Studios in North Hollywood.
"And then … you know Royce apologized to me after the last reunion. So, I wouldn't knock her out. I'd just smack the s--- out of her. Susie I like. Jennifer just gets on my nerves … like her voice irritates me so I would try to take out her voice box," she went on.
Govan was an original cast member of "Basketball Wives" Miami but due to her ongoing feud with O'Neal, who is one of the show's producers, she left before agreeing to appear in the Los Angeles series.
During one episode, O'Neal was seen antagonizing Govan after her wedding to Matt Barnes was called off because Govan had allegedly criticized the other cast members for failing to maintain solid relationships.
O'Neal was later criticized for bullying and Govan went on to badmouth her in media interviews for allegedly lying about the show's concept.
"When we were approached by Shaunie in the very beginning, she told us both that it was going to be about positive women trying to step outside the shadows of their significant others and really try to bring a positive light to the basketball wives, because a majority of us are stereotyped as being uneducated nutcases spending all of our time shopping with thousands of nannies and very chaotic, so we were excited," Govan told Vibe magazine in April.
"I think when we saw the finished product, we were like, 'Wait a minute.' We were trying to buy coffee and someone sold us tea. This is the complete opposite of what we were told the show was going to be about," she added.
Govan now appears to be more focused on her gig in season two of the hit Vh1 reality show and when asked about what viewers can expect, she confirmed that there will be no shortage of drama.
"It's a lot of drama, a lot of character developments. You see my sister and she's lost all of her baby weight, and you see relationships growing [and] breaking up. People who have been good friends turning on each other, it's really interesting," Govan said.
"You're gonna see a whole bunch of everything...we really try to bring it we don't try to make it boring but we dont try to make it fake either," she added.

Teach me how to trust my heart, my mind, my intuition, my inner knowing, the senses of my body, the blessings of my spirit. Teach me to trust these things so that I may enter my sacred space and love beyond my fear, and thus walk in balance with the passing of each glorious sun.
Lakota Prayer
Experience & feel:: calm:: self-love:: stillness:: healing:: your heart
{Sacred Sundays} are a place for you to reconnect with yourself, in an intimate and peaceful session of intentional rest. Melissa will lead you through a restorative session that includes: breath-work (pranayama), flowing into gentle movements (light stretching, simple poses or asanas, or bindu yoga), and then moving into a guided seated meditation or lying down (savasana). To further your experience, a journaling, art therapy, or creative exercise will be used to explore your natural self. And then ending with a lying down yoga nidra session (yogic sleep). Experience a deep inner peace and reconnect with your heart. Each session is limited to 6-8 spaces to allow for a sacred circle of sharing, deep listening, and release with healing.
What is yoga nidra? Learn to be awake yet asleep ~ bliss for your brain. Yoga nidra is a yogic technique which guides us into a state of deeply restful meditative awareness and inner stillness.

PORTSMOUTH — Residents and visitors alike now have access to the big picture on parking in Portsmouth through a new parkportsmouth.com website unveiled Thursday.
The website, based on Google maps, highlights a wide range of parking resources from handicap spaces, bicycle racks and free 72-hour parking to valet locations, the downtown business parking validation program and the city's new time limits and rates which go into effect Jan. 3.
"The new website is a continued effort and implementation of the city council's goal to keep our residents and visitors informed about parking options in the city," said Portsmouth City Manager John Bohenko.
"As parking gets tighter in the downtown it's more important than ever to give people alternatives to what they might be used to," said Tom Cocchiaro, parking operations supervisor.
"This new website lays out all the city's parking resources in an easy-to-navigate, interactive format with detail right down to how many spaces are in a given area — including the time limits and rates.
To make it easier for visitors to identify pricing and time limits, the city's parking division has broken down metered parking into four zones, A through D. Meters in those zones will be prominently marked with color-coded stickers to alert drivers to the various rates and time limits. Zone A meters, marked with red stickers, are located in the high occupancy areas of the downtown and represent spaces with a rate of $1.50 per hour and three-hour limit; Zone B meters will be tagged with blue stickers and represent spaces with a rate of $1 per hour and three-hour time limit; Zone C meters will carry green stickers and represent spaces with a rate of $1 per hour and four-hour time limit; Zone D meters that carry red stickers represent spaces with a rate of $1.50 per hour and 15-minute time limit; and Zone D meters that display black stickers represent spaces with a rate of $1 per hour and 15-minute time limit. The zone designations and color codes carry through to the parkportsmouth.com website where it's easy to see the breakdown of the various zones, time limits and rates graphically represented.
Other features of the website include a Twitter space where downtown visitors can find updates on parking garage availability status and snow ban announcements, information on COAST bus and trolley schedules, a local events calendar and other information.

Microsoft delivered a pleasant surprise to investors this week, revealing earnings of $5.1 billion for its third fiscal quarter of 2012. That's down a bit from a the year-ago figure of $5.23 billion, but that was boosted by a one-time tax benefit. All told, the numbers were stronger than analysts and investors has expected, particularly since sales of its flagship Windows operating system ought to be lukewarm, as both consumers and business put off purchases of new software and new computers in anticipation of Windows 8.
The shocker: For all its name recognition among consumers, Microsoft generates surprisingly little money from its consumer offerings, including its Xbox 360 game console, Windows Phone, and Bing, it's would-be rival to Google's dominance of the Internet search market. In fact, if it weren't for sales of Windows on consumer PCs, Microsoft arguably wouldn't be making any money at all in the consumer market — a stark comparison to companies like Apple that derive nearly all their revenue from consumer sales.
How do the numbers stack up? And does Microsoft's apparent failure to resonate with consumers derive from the fact that most of Microsoft's spending money has nothing to do with consumers?
Where Microsoft's money goes (and comes from)
Microsoft does not break down revenue across each of its products and services — and that's probably a good thing, since the company offers hundreds of discrete products ranging from webcams and keyboards to games to operating systems to applications to systems geared at enterprises and even vertical markets like health care. Instead, Microsoft breaks revenue down into six basic areas:
- Windows and Windows Live — As you might expect, this category includes Microsoft's Windows operating system (all versions), but also gets a lot broader. It includes most of Microsoft's consumer hardware products for computers (like keyboards and mice), as well as online services that are directly in support of Windows — think Windows Live Essentials, which includes Mail, Messenger, Photo Gallery, and Movie Maker, along with things like Windows Family Safety and Microsoft's Silverlight technology. About three quarters of the revenue in this segment derives directly from sales of Windows — Microsoft does not break down how many licenses it sells to consumers versus corporate, enterprise, and site licenses. About one quarter of the segment's revenue comes from sales of hardware devices and advertising on Windows Live services.
- Business Division — It's not quite accurate, but you can think of the Business Division as the Microsoft Office ecosystem: That includes not just the core Office applications (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) but also Exchange, Sharepoint, Lync, and Microsoft's Office 365 Web-based applications. Another component is Microsoft Dynamics, a customer relationship management (CRM) and enterprise resource planning (ERP) system used by more than a quarter million businesses around the world. Microsoft actually earns more money from its Business Division than from Windows.
- Server & Tools — Most consumers probably interact with companies using these products and services, but never see them directly. This encompasses products like Microsoft SQL Server, developer products (like Visual Studio) as well as Microsoft's cloud services platform (Azure). Somewhat confusingly, it also includes server versions of the Windows OS: these are the ones designed to pump email, run databases, and host Web sites, rather than let people watch Netflix and play Crysis. About half the Server & Tools group's revenue comes from volume license agreements with companies; the rest comes from retal products, transactional licensing (where Microsoft takes a cut from individual operations) and enterprise services.
- Entertainment & Devices — Here's the guts of what Microsoft makes for consumers that isn't Windows. The Entertainment & Devices group includes the Xbox game console, Xbox Live services, Kinect and other accessories, and all of Microsoft Xbox games. It also includes all of Microsoft's Windows Phone efforts, along with the recently-acquired Skype — Microsoft paid $8.5 billion.
- Online Services — Think of Microsoft's online services segment as MSN and Bing — although it's important to note it also includes most of Microsoft's online advertising business, including adCenter and advertiser tools. Bing and most MSN services are offered to consumers for free; that means essentially all the money earned by Online Services' comes from display advertising — you know, the business where Google earned almost $5.5 billion during the first quarter of 2012.
If one were to order Microsoft's revenue segments in the order in which consumers are exposed to them, the list might look something like this:
- Online Services
- Windows
- Entertainment & Devices
- Business Division
- Server & Tools
How well does that list line up with Microsoft's revenue?
Entertainment and online services
None of Microsoft's revenue segments are truly isolated from consumers: even the Server & Tools group derives some revenue from students and hobbyists doing some Windows programming. But Microsoft's Online Services and Entertainment & Devices groups are distinctly consumer-slanted. How is their revenue doing?
Microsoft introduced the Xbox 360 all the way back in 2005, and its Xbox Live platform has been widely heralded as one of the success stories of digital media. Microsoft is earning money from it: The figures above represent net revenue: the total amount of money Microsoft took in for the division, minus the expenses of running the group. Although the net income for the Entertainment & Devices group is actually negative this quarter (Microsoft attributes the slump to a "soft gaming console market" and market watchers seem to agree) the Xbox 360 has been the top-selling console to the last 15 months, and Xbox Live boasts 40 million members. In the last nine quarters, Microsoft's Entertainment & Devices segment has generated almost $1.92 billion in revenue Microsoft can put in the bank — that's a business many companies would love to call their own.
Online Services… not so much. In purely revenue terms, Microsoft has lost almost $5.4 billion in the last nine quarter pushing Bing, MSN, and related free online services. Sure, launching a service that competes with Google is no small feat, and Microsoft has had to fork over some cash to Yahoo to serve as the back end for its Web search. But that revenue agreement with Yahoo is over, and Microsoft's Online Services group is staying right on trend, losing on the order of half a billion dollars every quarter. Bing is coming up on its fourth birthday.
Operating income across all segments
How do Microsoft's other businesses compare?
Not so great. Microsoft's by-any-measure successful Entertainment & Devices group can't hold a candle to the revenue generated by Servers & Tools, Windows, or the Business Division — which is actually the biggest of them all. I've emphasized the online and entertainment businesses so they're easy to pick out.
Microsoft's Entertainment Group earned a little over $1.9 billion in the last nine quarters. Microsoft's Windows, business, and tools groups earned nearly $73.6 billion over the same time period. And that's actually earnings that can be put in the bank, after subtracting out costs. Microsoft Xbox, entertainment, and mobile efforts amount to about 2.6 percent of the company's total bankable revenue over the last nine quarters. If you add in the Online services group — or rather, subtract it out, since it's done nothing but lose money so far — Microsoft is piddling away nearly 5 percent of its cash money trying to make devices and services for consumers.
Of course, those back-of-the-envelope numbers for consumer products do not include Windows, and Microsoft obviously sells millions of copies of Windows to consumers, both as a retail product and as an OEM bundle with new PCs. Consumers also buy plenty of licenses for Office applications, too.
So far as I can determine, Microsoft does not break down Windows and Office sales in any meaningful way that shows the proportion of operating system sales that are direct to consumers (whether retail or on new computers) versus volume licensing to corporations, schools, governments, and other organizations. I also haven't been able to find any substantive third-party analysis breaking down sales along those lines. For now, just bear in mind that those figures above are skewed.
But even if we leave Windows revenue out of the figures entirely, Microsoft's overall efforts in entertainment and devices (Xbox, Windows Phone, etc.) and online services (Bing, MSN) still amount to the company piddling away about 7.5 percent of the money it brought in over the last nine quarters. On a company-wide basis, that's not a formula for success.
Bottom line
Over the years, much ink has been spilled over Microsoft's seeming inability to resonate with consumers. For every success Microsoft seems to have had — the Xbox ecosystem, and (arguably) Bing — the roadside is littered with failures like the Zune, Soapbox, MSN Music, and Urge.
But remember that list, above, ordering Microsoft's divisions roughly in the order in which consumers are exposed to them?
- Online Services
- Windows
- Entertainment & Devices
- Business Division
- Server & Tools
Here's how that list looks in Microsoft's bank accounts:
- Business Division
- Windows
- Server & Tools
- Entertainment & Devices
- Online Services
It's almost the opposite.
Ultimately, Microsoft doesn't answer to consumers. It can't. They aren't who pays the bills. Microsoft's principle customers — by a wide, wide margin — are corporations, enterprises, governments, schools, computer makers, and other big accounts that engage in high-volume licensing for Microsoft products. Everything else is just a nice side-dish for Microsoft — including its efforts to make products and services for everyday people.

10 July 2014, Abidjan, Ivory Coast – In the current context of global crisis, local authorities have an important role to play in the search for common responses to deal with major challenges of sustainable development. For this reason, African states have established the training of local representatives and stakeholders as a key concern.
In this context, UNITAR's training centre CIFAL Ouagadougou organized a seminar on "The implementation of a common and effective strategy to strengthen the capacity of local communities in order to maximize the impact of training sessions in the field" which took place on June 12-13 in Abidjan. The seminar was held in partnership with the Union of Towns and Municipalities of Ivory Coast (UVICOCI), the African Capacity Building Foundation (ACBF), the municipalities of Lyon and Ouagadougou, the Partnership for Municipal Development (PDM), the International Association of Francophone Mayors (AIMF in French), the higher education and research institute "2IE", Veolia and the initiative of the Pan African Intergovernmental Agency "Water and Sanitation for Africa" (EAA).
During the two-day seminar, participants discussed issues such as the implementation of action plans in the field and the mechanisms for monitoring and evaluating. They also shared recommendations on how to develop an effective monitoring framework so that learning outcomes can enable local communities to provide long term quality services to the population.
The seminar was highly interactive, including sessions where the participants were organized into working groups to develop an effective strategy to carry out the assessment of all the aspects of a training session (pre-session, session, organization, logistics and network), which was followed by a presentation and an open discussion with all the participants.
The seminar highlighted the importance of having trained and informed representatives in order to promote local development.

Understanding the (Proposed) Change to DSO Linking
The default behaviour for ld is to not link objects that are listed as dependencies of another linked object. This is dangerous if the other object is ever changed to occlude the object on which your program depended, causing your program to break without any change to your code.
For example :
libxml2.so has:
NEEDED Shared library: [libdl.so.2] NEEDED Shared library: [libz.so.1]
Under the old system, a program that links with libxml2 and uses dlopen may not link with libdl, and a program that links with libxml2 and uses gzopen may not link with libz. While these programs will work, they will break if libxml2 is ever changed to omit the dependency on libdl/libz.
What's the difference?
For example (courtesy Roland McGrath):
==> foo1.c <== #include <stdio.h> extern int foo (); int main () { printf ("%d\n", foo ()); }
==> foo2.c <== extern int foo (); int bar () { return foo (); }
==> foo3.c <== int foo () { return 0; }
Prepare position-independent code:
gcc -g -fPIC -c foo1.c foo2.c foo3.c
Generate foo3.so:
gcc -shared -o foo3.so foo3.o
Generate foo2.so, linking foo3.so:
gcc -shared -o foo2.so foo2.o foo3.so
The proposed change will affect the next step: Creating foo1.
A call to gcc will succeed quietly, even though the link to foo3.so is only implicit.
gcc -o foo1 foo1.o foo2.so -Wl,--rpath-link=.
The call to gcc will fail, prompting the user to explicitly link the required shared object.
gcc -o foo1 foo1.o foo2.so -Wl,--rpath-link=. /usr/bin/ld: foo1.o: undefined reference to symbol 'foo' /usr/bin/ld: note: 'foo' is defined in DSO ./foo3.so so try adding it to the linker command line
So, the difference is whether you can refer to a symbol that's in a DSO that you didn't list explicitly in your link line, but that is a DT_NEEDED dependency of one of those (or recursively of those, I think).
The big difference is that with the proposed change in place, ld will no longer skip linking needed libraries by default. The current default behaviour will lead ld to skip linking with a library if it is listed as a needed by another library that the program uses. In abstract terms, if libA is needed by libB and your program requires both libA and libB, your program may only link to libB. Then if another version of libB comes out that does not list libA as a needed library, then a recompilation will mysteriously break.
What do I do?
If you encounter this error, the error message will prompt you to explicitly link to the DSO that you need. From the foo example, adding foo3.so will get rid of the error:
gcc -o foo1 foo1.o foo2.so foo3.so -Wl,--rpath-link=.
Example deltarpm
Run fedora-cvs deltarpm or check out a 'devel' version of deltarpm from :
Go to the devel folder and run 'make srpm' to produce a source rpm.
In /etc/mock, copy the desired fedora-rawhide-*.cfg file to test.cfg. In the test.cfg file, change the root to 'test'.
Add the following to test.cfg:
[ld-test] name=ld-test baseurl=http://roland.fedorapeople.org/ld-test/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0
This will enable the mock build to pull the latest test version of ld. Next, run the build by executing mock -r /path/to/deltarpm/srpm
The following error should appear in /var/lib/mock/test/result/build.log :
RPM build errors: /usr/bin/ld.bfd: rpmdumpheader.o: undefined reference to symbol 'Fopen' /usr/bin/ld.bfd: note: 'Fopen' is defined in DSO /usr/lib/librpmio.so.0 so try adding it to the linker command line /usr/lib/librpmio.so.0: could not read symbols: Invalid operation *** /usr/bin/ld: ld behavior mismatch! *** *** /usr/bin/ld.bfd succeeeded *** *** /usr/bin/ld.bfd --no-add-needed exits 1 *** *** arguments: --eh-frame-hdr --build-id -m elf_i386 --hash-style=gnu -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -o rpmdumpheader /usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.4.2/../../../crt1.o /usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.4.2/../../../crti.o /usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.4.2/crtbegin.o -L/usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.4.2 -L/usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.4.2 -L/usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.4.2/../../.. rpmdumpheader.o -lrpm -lgcc --as-needed -lgcc_s --no-as-needed -lc -lgcc --as-needed -lgcc_s --no-as-needed /usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.4.2/crtend.o /usr/lib/gcc/i686-redhat-linux/4.4.2/../../../crtn.o collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [rpmdumpheader] Error 1
This indicates that deltarpm used /usr/lib/librpmio.so.0 without explicitly linking to it. To fix, add -lrpmio to the gcc command for any binaries that use librpmio. In deltarpm, this can be done quickly by changing the Makefile:
rpmdumpheader: rpmdumpheader.o - $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) $^ -lrpm -o $@ + $(CC) $(LDFLAGS) $^ -lrpm -lrpmio -o $@

Position Papers
Position Papers
The following Position Papers have been developed by the IEA Solar Heating and Cooling Programme:
Position Paper: Solar Cooling
IEA SHC Task 48: Position Paper
September 2015 - PDF 0.36MB
By: IEA SHC Task 48
Written by leading experts in the field, this paper provides an inside view for energy policy makers to understand why and how solar cooling systems should be supported and promoted.
Position Paper: Solar Renovation of Non-Residential Buildings
IEA SHC Task 47: Position Paper
September 2015 - PDF 1.49MB
By: IEA SHC Task 47
The IEA's Energy Technology Perspectives 2008 report shows that buildings are responsible for about 45% of the total energy consumption in OECD countries and 38% globally. More than half of the existing building stock will be standing in 2050 and more than 50% of the buildings in many OECD countries were built before 1970. The EU Parliament approved in April 2009 a recommendation that member states have to set intermediate goals for existing buildings as a fixed minimum percentage of buildings to be net zero energy by 2015 and 2020. This also includes the existing non-residential buildings, and a dramatic reduction in primary energy consumption will be needed.
Position Paper: Compact Thermal Energy Storage: Material Development for System Integration
IEA SHC Task 42: Position Paper
August 2015 - PDF 0.2MB
By: IEA SHC Task 42
This position paper explains the potential, the present status of development and the market status of compact thermal energy storages. Its aim is to inform policy makers, decision makers and opinion makers about the technologies and to discuss the technological and non-technological barriers and the actions needed to accelerate the development and market uptake of these very important technologies.
Position Paper: Net Zero Energy Solar Buildings
IEA SHC Task 40: Position Paper
June 2015 - PDF 0.35MB
The aim of this Position Paper is to present the current status of the various research and pathways in designing and constructing net-zero energy buildings (NetZEBs). It is written to provide general information on this topic to policy and decision makers who may be in positions to facilitate the market uptake of NetZEB practices. The information therein draws from the work of the 82 National Experts from the 19 member countries that participated in the Task/Annex and have contributed so much knowledge to advancing this field.
Position Paper: Polymeric Materials for Solar Thermal Applications
IEA SHC Task 39: Position Paper
June 2015 - PDF 0.28MB
This position paper describes the current state of the art for polymeric materials in solar thermal applications, shows the potential of polymers in solar thermal applications, and encourages further R&D activities. The major advantages of using polymeric materials in solar thermal systems are economical aspects, especially when taking into account the increasing solar thermal market and increasing raw material prices for metals. Although the cost of materials per mass unit might often be put forward as a major advantage of polymers relative to metals in conventional collectors, the entire picture is more complex. Many successful applications of polymeric materials in solar thermal systems that perform equally well or better in terms of conventional energy savings, reduction of materials, as well as production, transport, installation and/or end-user costs have been demonstrated.
Position Paper: Solar and Heat Pump Systems
IEA SHC Task 44: Position Paper
September 2014 - PDF 0.53MB
By: IEA SHC Task 44
The purpose of this document is to provide an inside view to energy policy makers on why and how solar and heat pump systems should be supported and promoted. Solar and heat pump systems (S+HP) are a combined technology that represent a market share in the building heating and cooling segment due to their following advantages: high renewable energy share, low electricity demand, low primary energy demand, and low CO2 emission depending on the electricity mix feeding the heat pump. The market share of S+HP systems could reach 100% for new houses in many countries where the heat pump technology is well-established and solar is mandatory for domestic hot water.
Position Paper: Solar Cooling
IEA SHC Task 38: Position Paper
October 2011 - PDF 0.67MB
By: Hans-Martin Henning
After ten years of numerous research, development and demonstration activities in the field of Solar air-conditioning, in particular within the IEA Solar Heating & Cooling Programme but also in many other national and European R&D projects, the market penetration of SAC remains small. Therefore, it is important to take a look at the achievements and the recent position of solar cooling technology. It is also important to understand the future perspective of this technology and formulate the needs related to both R&D and market stimulation in order to exploit the potentials. This is also important in order to understand the potential of solar heating and cooling technologies (SHC) to contribute to the achievement of politically set targets in the reduction of energy consumption. This paper describes the recent position of solar cooling technology and develops an outlook about the potential and needed actions.
Solar Cooling Position Paper - Executive Summary
Task38 Solar Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration
December 2013 - PDF 0.08MB - Posted: 1/7/2014
This document summarises the Position Paper on Solar Cooling developed by IEA SHC project "Solar Air-Conditioning and Refrigeration (Task38)".

Other Ambient (and related) Music / Cymphonic's new album 'Dimensionata' (Databloem records)« on: April 10, 2013, 11:13:26 AM »
Hi there,
Check the new ambient release by cymphonic, called 'Dimensionata' which was released on Databloem records on the 4th of april.
Short promo: "Cymphonic ( Stanley Swinkels ) is back with another masterpiece of ambience. Stanley's traditional (Biosphere, Namlook) yet typical sound mingles synth pads and sequences beautifully with whispering voices, environmental field recordings and occasional fractal beats to create a range of sonic states and moods. The soft distortion from one dark area yields to the bright tone paintings of another in this wonderfully varied ambient landscape. Dimensionata is fascinating mix of ambient styles expertly woven into one totally engaging "Cymphonic" journey." Source: Dennis Knopper (Spielerei).

The $500,000 Housecleaning
When a Virginia couple discovered that their townhouse was infested with mold, it was the start of an arduous, expensive multiyear cleanup
Jenny Guinness of McLean, Va., waited as men in moon suits cut away chunks of drywall in 2-foot increments. They would bag and seal the material, and start again. Soon they had removed the walls of an entire room. A mold remediator sat her down and said: "I have really bad news for you. This looks like it goes in every direction…I think you need to have a demolition company come in and start removing whole walls because I can't see an end to it anywhere."
In 2008, Ms. Guinness and her husband, Os, discovered that...

Santa Barbara, Calif. – After two tough losses last week, the Gauchos remained resilient to overtake the Trojans in a 3-1 win on Wednesday night. UCSB out-swung, out-dug, and out-blocked the opposition to win in four sets (25-23, 25-19, 21-25, 25-17). The victory boosts UCSB's record to 15-14 overall, 11-12 MPSF. With the loss, the Trojans fall to 6-17, 6-17.
In the fourth and final set, the Gauchos rocketed off to a stellar start. They created a seven-point lead with a hard kill from Austin Kingi. Austin Kingi had six kills in the fourth set alone, including the game-winning slam to send the Trojans packing.
Key players for the Trojans included Rivera, who put down 19 kills, and Austin Rysyk, who recorded 11 kills. J.B. was central to their defense, sweeping up 12 digs.
UCSB definitely picked up momentum with the win. They secured no lower than a seventh spot in the MPSF tournament and are fighting to finish the season strong. The Gauchos finish off the regular season with a final home game against Pepperdine Friday night. Friday night's game will also serve as UCSB's Senior Night.

January 2nd, 2013 at 8:20 PM ^
Who all was there last year? I was... : (
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:36 PM ^
Discovering that you could carry an alcoholic beverage wherever you go was just like being a kid on Christmas morning. Don't think I left the hotel without one. I cannot say it resulted in a pleasant drive back to Ann Arbor, though.
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:40 PM ^
I hear that. Also, buying booze at a Michigan game was new to me as well, and new was awesome.
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:45 PM ^
I was also really looking forward to having my first (legal) drink in the Big House for this year's NHL Winter Classic.
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:48 PM ^
You should go to Michigan hockey games at the Joe. I tried to slam large Molson Xxx's one game (1 per period). That night did not end well...
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:43 PM ^
We're awesome last year. Had to be 2:1 michigan to vt on bourbon street. Had a blast
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:02 PM ^
Maybe obviously.
Seeing the city during the lead in made me nolstagic.
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:29 PM ^
Florida fans are a bunch of brats. They were talking about Florida not selling most of their tickets pregame. Because their fans think they're too good for the Sugar Bowl. That's ridiculous. How about you win more games if you think that's the case?
That's the SEC's Rose Bowl. You think Georgia wouldn't want to be there?
Hell, I'd love to see Michigan play in this game against louisville!
Also: Muhammed Ali!!
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:45 PM ^
Makes me want a grenade.
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:47 PM ^
Go Teddy Bridgewater and Co.. I thoroughly enjoyed New Orleans last year and can't wait to go back (Bowl game or not).
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:50 PM ^
Refs have missed a blatant facemask and a helmet to helmet hit on Florida already.
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:53 PM ^
Greaaaat start for Louisville. Love seeing these teams who think they're superior looking around like they don't know what hit them. Now they're reviewing this but save for a ultimate debacle Louisville will be up two tuds.
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:55 PM ^
LOL it's the 2009 Sugar Bowl all over again. SEC team thinking they're better and not being motivated and laying an egg right off the bat.
January 2nd, 2013 at 8:59 PM ^
Is a stud. Picked apart against an excellent Florida defense. MOAR BRIDGEWATER!!!!
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:03 PM ^
I wish somebody would slap these SEC kids who chirp after play they make (even when some of the plays are advantageous to the opposing team)...It happened all day yesterday by the SC players.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:06 PM ^
Yeah what was up with that SC kid yesterday doing the make it rain thing?
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:15 PM ^
Right. I have no clue. It looks asinine but whataya gonna do. Kids will be kids. I had a few buddies who played for Iowa a few years back during years they made Outbac Bowl (playing SC). They said they were the biggest group of thugs they've played against; in a way Spurrier promotes that kinda garbage in his program (and I'm a guy who kinda likes Spurrier).
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:04 PM ^
But I can't think of a reason in the world not to root for Lousiville. Charlie Strong, Vance Bedford, anti-SEC, Florida fans are kinda assholes. Seems an easy call.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:05 PM ^
needs to get their money back.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:06 PM ^
Every time I hear Trey Burton I keep thinking they're saying Trey Burke. Too used to Trey dominating the game of basketball.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:17 PM ^
That drive included runs of 13, 9 (twice), 8, 6, 5 (twice) yards, and two passes of over 10 yards, and Florida gets the field goal. That's a lot of work for a field goal, in my opinion, but the closer they got to the goal line, the more mentally unaware they seemed to get.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:30 PM ^
If you want to see something crazy, look at the boxscore and final score of the Florida - South Carolina game this year. Florida somehow scored 40+ and shut down SC.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:34 PM ^
I can't stand these SEC punks. Sticking your finger in a refs face would buy you a few hours of stadium steps at Michigan.
Bo would be absolutely livid if a player did that and to be honest, I don't think a player on his teams would have. Bo put fear into those guys.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:36 PM ^
Where can I get a sweet gold chain like the one Tebow is wearing?
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:36 PM ^
I did not expect this at all. That being said, I'm enjoying this game very much.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:40 PM ^
Did you all just see ESPN use the Michigan VT helmets on their Sugar Bowl logo instead of Florida and Louisville? 9:29 for those with DVR.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:45 PM ^
Wow it's amazing how bad Louisville is at running, yet they are dominating.
January 2nd, 2013 at 9:48 PM ^
They keep moving it because Florida can't get stops on third down.

About the EventThe presenting speaker for the Lewis Katz Industry Icon Series program was Arthur Adler, pro sports marketing icon and local philanthropic leader, who is locally prominent for founding the Boca West Charitable Foundation.
Adler was a leading entrepreneur in the media and sports industries for four decades, serving as Co-President of the New York Yankees, and as Vice President of Marketing for both the Yankees and Islanders. He shared many stories and fun anecdotes of the success both teams celebrated during his tenure.
In the 1960s, he worked at Columbia Records, producing albums for legends such as the Rolling Stones, Bob Dylan and Aretha Franklin. From 1977 to 2003, he ran his own sports advertising company, Adler Communications, acquiring radio rights for major teams including the Mets and Yankees. He also created Sportsec Marketing and later bought Spencer Sports Marketing, overseeing in-stadium advertising at 15 sports facilities nationwide.
The Lewis Katz Industry Icon Series connects a diverse group of professionals and entrepreneurs to help build business and the community. Our next Icon speaker will be former Publisher of the Sun Sentinel, Howard Greenberg on April 5th.
