Humorist and New Orleans resident Harry Shearer gets the inside story of a disaster that could have been prevented from the people who were there. As we near the fifth anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, Shearer speaks to the investigators who poked through the muck as the water receded and a whistle-blower from the Army Corps of Engineers, revealing that some of the same flawed methods responsible for the levee failure during Katrina are being used to rebuild the system expected to protect the New Orleans from future peril.

PANAMA CITY — Bay County Animal Control has lost its second manager in less than three years.
Bill Olasin, the former head of Animal Control, turned in his resignation letter May 6, in which he sounded distressed.
"It is with great angst that I am informing you of my resignation from my position with Bay County effective May 17, 2013," Olasin said in the letter. "The position of Animal Control Manager has made changes to my life that are unwanted and undesirable, and resignation is the only seeable resolution."
But Olasin spoke favorably of the county's employees, saying they had been "wonderful to work with." He could not be reached for comment.
The resignation came months after the Bay County Sheriff's Office (BCSO) and the Florida Department of Health (DOH) launched a joint investigation of the Animal Control's euthanasia practices in December. Concerns had been raised after a volunteer noticed more sodium phenobarbital was being used than was needed for the number of animals listed as euthanized.
BCSO cleared the Animal Control of any wrongdoing earlier this year, but DOH has yet to release its report. Contacted Thursday, the state agency declined to confirm involvement, though BCSO has already said DOH is conducting its own investigation.
Animal Control also had an ongoing records problem and could not give hard numbers on its kill rates earlier in the year, when The News Herald asked for them.
The county also asked an outside agency to review Animal Control and suggest improvements. The review was done by Maddie's Shelter Medicine Program, a nonprofit that works with the University of Florida to reduce euthanasia rates and improve shelter practices and conditions.
Despite all these problems, county spokeswoman Valerie Sale said Olasin was not forced out or asked to leave.
"He resigned of his own volition," she said.
Salesaid to her knowledge, Maddie's did not recommend removing Olasin as manager. The organization did, however, offer an indictment on several of the department's practices, including record-keeping and euthanasia. In a preliminary report, the group cited a long list of improvements for the department.
Salesaid she wasn't surprised by the county losing its second Animal Control manager in less than three years because it's a tough position.
"Animal Control (manager) is a very difficult, high-stress job," Sale said.
The county has already begun advertising for a new head of Animal Control, but it's shaking up the management structure. The new position would be for a full-time veterinarian who would likely manage the department.
Salesaid the position's salary would range from about $42,000 to about $68,000 annually. Olasin was making $48,195 annually.
But Sale said the county will likely hire an "office manager" too, who would handle some management duties. But she said the exact management structure has yet to be determined.
Sale said Maddie's recommended the county hire a full-time veterinarian, who would be on-site to help with vaccinations and other care. She said a lot of the animals brought into the shelter are hurt or sick.
The county will accept applications for the job through June 11, which means the hire would likely start by the end of the summer.
In the interim, Jamie Jones, the county's general services director, will run Animal Control. In his current job, he already oversees the department along with solid waste and the parks and recreation divisions.
Olasin took over Animal Control in December 2010. He was hired four months after the previous director resigned due to a scandal.
An Animal Control officer had taken a pig home with him and butchered it, thinking the animal was unwanted. That led to an investigation and the head of Animal Control, Jim Crosby, resigned in August 2010.
When Olasin started four months later, he gave an interview to The News Herald, saying he wanted to improve Animal Control and get all of its departments in order.
"In developing policies and procedures, hopefully we'll be able to put some order to the chaos," he said.

Zune excellent idea, great build quality, good software, poor marketing, poor to non-existant global release, with no marketing, no global release ms simply let it die
The original Tablet PC, this failed fast and bad. maybe not fully MS fault, now they are trying again, will they succeed, probably not.
Encarta, could have been so much better, if only it was updated more often, backed by build online database, more multimedia, could have been better then wikipedia, but no, MS starts something and ever stands by it
MS search, MSN search, MSN, Live search, Bing, again pick a name and stick with it, why is google so sucessful? maybe because everyone know what is it? and it doesn't get renamed every few years.
Expresions, another products that had good potential with some work and good marketing, lower price it could on some level rival some adobe products and maybe even create a niche market with unique products.
windows phone, while some (especially here)will not excactly call this a failure yet. but market share point of new, its not doing all that great.
windows, now this brings us to thier biggest products, MS seems to be going though cycles, windows 95, windows ME, Vista and now 8. after each screw up, they recover a bit by releasing a much better products for its time like 98se, XP, 7. This cycle shouldn't happen.

"Zune: turned into Windows Phone 7" sorry but no, Ipod didn't develop into Iphone, both still have place in market. Just because I liked Zune, doesn't mean I want a phone in it.

So why is MS so bad at brands, products and sticking by their product?

Most of the unstableness and bluescreens were caused by bad drivers from hardware device manufacturers. Windows now has the most amazing support for any hardware that you will not find in any other Operating System. Mac OS X is "stable" because they have specific hardware that you cannot change. If Apple were to allow different hardware I promise you Mac OS X would be crashing left and right.
Windows 95, my cousin had one of those, though not as bad as ME it was still fairly unstable and bluescreened often, so while i wouldn't necessarily call it a screw up, i wouldn't call it great either

Actually, the Zune did turn into a Windows Phone. I owned both a Zune HD and an iPod Touch. The Zune morphed into what Windows Phones look like today while the iPod touch was backwards as it came from a phone. Are you stating though that you'd rather have two separate products? If so, I can see your point
I'm surprised you didn't add BOB to the list. And I really have to disagree with Windows Mobile. I had one of the devices for a couple of years and loved it. They just didn't market it very well, similar to the tablets from XP Tablet Edition.
WinMo had the whole market for a while... hardly a failure. it stagnated, just like IE6, and suffered for it. but it did allow MS the opportunity of starting fresh with WP7 and that was amazing.
Because, aside from their core products (Windows, Server and Office), Microsoft is a reactive company as opposed to a proactive one. They see a new market emerging, sit and watch that market as it blossoms, then put out a 'me too' product to compete. From there, they'll usually dump enough money into the product until it's eventually successful, or they'll dump it and move on, completely shafting the few owners that bought them. Aside from their core products, they've been stuck in a perpetual state of playing catch-up for at least the past decade.
I say this as a former Pocket PC, Microsoft Wifi and Zune HD owner, as well as several of the software products you've mentioned.

Chinese Squawking Chicken Articles
Jolie damed
It's Dame Angelina now. Queen Elizabeth made Angelina Jolie an honourer Commander of the Most Distinguished Order of St Michael and St George on Friday on a Birthday Honours list that also included Daniel Day-Lewis, Maggie Smith, and Damian Lewis. Some of you complained. And I would agree with you – that she's a Hollywood star, and an American, and sure she just came off a busy week for the Global Summit To End Sexual Violence In Conflict but there are non-famous heroes who deserve recognition and crabby crabby crabby crabby crabby crabby – but, you know, talk to me when you're finished bitching about the guy from Homeland. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
What do you want to talk about today?
Want to talk about how I wish I had a dire wolf and would give up all gifts for the rest of my life in exchange for one? Probably not.
Or how about Selena Gomez and...Orlando Bloom? Not that either.
Chris Martin speaking obliquely about consciously uncoupling from Gwyneth Paltrow? Maybe. But later.
George Clooney is engaged. This is the only headline in gossip, right? Ok. We'll get to that in first post, with some exclusive details.
But before that, California, I'm on my knees for you! The squawk and gossip session at Book Soup in LA on Friday night, in the gossip capital, was balls-out amazing. And then you sold out Book Passage in San Francisco on Saturday afternoon, the best way to end the first leg of the US book tour! Thank you, love you, owe you. Read Full Intro
I'm a Page Turner
I am an only child. My parents divorced when I was six years old. I wasn't an outgoing person. I didn't have a lot in common with the other kids at school, often being the only Chinese student in a classroom full of people whose parents also grew up in Canada or in other parts of the world where English is the first language. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Have you heard the "sad" version of Pharrell's Happy by Woodkid? Have attached below. I'm obsessed. When I listen to it I picture Gwyneth Paltrow in her garden, picking vegetables, ruminating on life. Also, it's the celebrity's metaphor for, like, everything. Which is hilarious. One day some actor will mention it in a video. "You know that song Happy? Well it's all in the interpretation. Happy can quickly be sad, just add some more piano." That's some deep sh-t.
A quick note on today's schedule. My ma, the Chinese Squawking Chicken, is doing interviews today with etalk and The Social. You can imagine what a giant f-cking pain in the ass this has been to organise. And now I have to worry about her getting to the shoot location and whether or not she'll complain about the facilities and not wanting makeup but then wanting makeup and why haven't we hired a translator and why aren't more people taking pictures of her? Anyway. Read Full Intro
Dear Gossips,
I'm wearing earrings today. Little studs my ma, the Chinese Squawking Chicken, shoved at me at her birthday party on Saturday. Not a gift though. It's a fortune telling/feng shui good luck thing. Because I don't normally do accessories. Just a gold chain I never take off around my neck with a rooster pendant hanging from it, also for fortune telling/feng shui. At the Oscars I didn't wear earrings and my hair was up. Ma watched the red carpet show and wouldn't get off my ass about how there was nothing to "catch" my luck from falling down.
Earrings plug the holes. They catch the "missed opportunities". But I forgot to wear the earrings on The Social on Monday and Tuesday. And she was all over me about it last night on the phone. Twenty minutes I had to listen to her bitch at me about how I was wasting so much luck by not wearing earrings. Read Full Intro
Robert Pattinson drags a cow
Macca/ Splash
How about one for the Twi-Hards? Robert Pattinson is working on a film in Toronto. I live in Toronto. He was on set today with a cow. Dragging the cow. I am a cow. A f-cking cow. Let's just go ahead and call the cow Lainey, even though Lainey is a blonde cow. They couldn't find a dark brown cow? It does make a lot of sense though. Full Story
Gwyneth & Charlize: Rats & Rabbits
Gwyneth Paltrow went to a party at Charlize Theron's yesterday. G and Charlize were also hanging out at Sean Penn's Haiti fundraiser a few weeks ago. So I guess she really is friends with everyone except for Madonna. Still. And she's going to need her friends, especially the Tigers, this year. Full Story
Shia still has a girlfriend
Sarah calls him a "thief and a liar". Well this lying thief was out in LA yesterday and he still has a girlfriend, Mia Goth. Goth is young. Just 19, at the most 20. Which makes sense. Any woman more mature might not be able to handle his sh-t. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
I feel like it's kinda perfect that the Super Bowl is happening over Chinese New Year weekend. Feasting and celebrating is always good this time of year -- good luck likes a party. When my ma, the Chinese Squawking Chicken, was heading into a really, really sh-t cycle for Tigers (she's a Tiger Mother for real), she insisted on a major birthday party, even more extravagant than usual, so that the happiness and goodwill generated on the occasion might provide some padding against what she was facing. She ended up in hospital a few months later, the beginning of what would be a brutal fight against a rare disease. Which she's still recovering from. But the point is - she's recovering. And she often says that party may have been the difference between recovery and loss. Or she could just be saying that because Jacek and I paid for that party, as we do all her parties, and she's telling us that we have to keep doing it. Guess whose birthday happens in a month?
The blog may be lighter today for Chinese New Year. Back to full schedule on Monday.
May the Horse be kind, gentle, and forgiving. May you be happy and healthy and loved this year.
GUNG HAY FAT CHOY! Happy New Year!
Yours in gossip,
Dear Gossips,
After yesterday's open about the Year of the Horse being sh-tty for those who are born Rats (click here for a refresher), I received a few emails, some complaining about the Rat getting all the attention. Like this one from Jennifer:
"UM, WTF...year of horse is all about rats?"
But why not spend more time helping and warning those who aren't going to be lucky over those who will be lucky? You're already lucky. How much more attention do you need? Do you want to be that greedy? That's what the Chinese Squawking Chicken would say. And it's what she used to say to me all the time when I was a kid, whining at her about her endless cautions. "Ma, why don't you ever tell me anything good?" Not unlike many of your questions yesterday. Read Full Intro
Cam D is a Rat too
There are a lot of Rats in Hollywood. 1972 seems to be a big celebrity year. In addition to Gwyneth Paltrow, there's also Ben Affleck, Jennifer Garner, Jude Law, Eminem, Sofia Vergara, and Cameron Diaz. Cam stepped out last night in New York at the TAG Heuer flagship opening in an amazing coat and fresh skin, looking like she's ready for whatever sh-t the Horse is about to jam in her face. Full Story
Gwyneth is a Rat
Michael Buckner/ Getty
You think Gwyneth Paltrow believes in Chinese astrology? She's a Rat. And the Year of the Horse is not supposed to be good to Rats. I care about Gwyneth a lot. So, if possible, if you can, could you send her this link? She really should be careful, especially between June and July and December and January. Full Story
Dear Gossips,
Chinese New Year is January 31st! You ready?
Fridge should we well stocked. Feasting is good. Gathering with friends and family all week is good too. Clean on Thursday – don't forget the car – and wash your hair on Thursday night, wear a new set of pyjamas to bed (if you can), make sure the sheets are fresh, and then try not to do much cleaning at least over the weekend. I'll remind you again on Thursday.
It'll be the Year of the Horse. By tradition on this blog, my ma, the Chinese Squawking Chicken, has a few suggestions. If you are a Horse (click here to check your sign), it'll be a regular year of ups and down. Won't be the worst ever but it also won't be the best ever, so you still need to be careful and stay steady. Read Full Intro
Dear Gossips,
It's Grammy weekend. It's also the last weekend before Chinese New Year. Let's start there. We clean before Chinese New Year. We get rid of the sh-t from the previous year to clear a path for the good luck of next year. According to my ma, the Squawking Chicken, and you should always Listen To The Squawking Chicken (which happens to be the name of my upcoming book, due out April 1 in Canada and April 22 in the US, click here to pre-order and, did I just do that? Did I just pimp my book and drop it into conversation for no reason like I'm talking about my pregnancy? Yes, yes I did), this weekend is a "lucky" weekend to clean. You should still clean on New Year's Eve, which is Thursday, January 30, but doing it specifically this weekend might get you some bonus points too. Read Full Intro

About Me Bike Messenger
Comments about Nashbar Isolation Shorts:
Have three pairs in daily rotation. Drawstring falls out in the wash. The drawstring isn't really necessary to keep them in place so I just threw it out. Medium fits me very well. I'm 6 foot and 170 approx. with a 34 true waist (32 Levis 501s). They wash nicely and always look clean. After the 3rd wash or so the Nashbar logo comes off. I don't care about that, so...
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Okay, but don't expect perfection
By tribot
from Michigan
If you are an avid cyclist and used to very good bike shorts and expect these to compare based on the reviews you will likely be disappointing. Don't get me wrong, these are decent shorts, and have a place in your drawer, but they do not compare to higher end shorts. The fit is okay but limited by the 6 panel design. They are not perfectly tight all over, there is some "wrinkling" around the crotch and butt. Not a huge deal. The pad in the shorts is actually pretty nice for the price, though on the light side. I probably would stick to rides 2 hours or shorter. These shorts would make good liner shorts. These would also be good for indoor spinning in the winter. Put the wear and tear and washes on these instead of more expensive shorts.

love these shorts
By cav
from birmingham, al
I purchased these as well as a pair of much more expensive shorts at the same time. These were really just supposed to be an extra pair for the odd occurrence that my others were in the was and I wanted to ride. Turns out these are much more comfortable on the bike and off. The tend to fit much better and stay in place much better, although they are just a little short in the back.

Good product for the price
By Philly one feather
from Lake Alfred,Fl.
I feel comfortable buying from Nashbar. I know they stand behind their products.
Good Value
By SeanyMac
from Simpsonville, SC
I'm new to cycling, so I was worried about buying my first shorts. These shorts fit me well and the padding is a help help for comfort.
Odd fit. drawstring. disappointing.
By Boston Commuter
from Boston, MA
About Me Commuter
Disappointing! Annoying and unnecessary drawstring. Cut too low in the back for riding in the drops (feels like I'm showing too much skin). Elastic on the legs is some kind of rubber compound. This rubbery elastic is right against your skin - poor design choice! They are much longer than my older, different Nashbar shorts, which is problematic. It seems like cycling shorts always run small, so I order one-size up to compensate. However, the length of these shorts ended up being past my knees for the size large.The only good thing about these is that they have lots of padding and they seem sturdy. I'm still looking for an affordable replacement for Nashbar's Crossride Shorts, which I bought many pairs of some years back. These are not going to do the job.
Runs a bit small, but a great value
By Don
from Columbus, OH
I usually wear a large and this large was a bit snug. It says 35-37 and no way would a 37" waist fit in these. (I'm a 34-35)And as someone else commented they don't come up very high in back. But they are very good quality for the price with a good amount of padding in the right place. They are equal to more expensive shorts that I have had and I am very happy with them. Just get the larger size if if you are between sizes.

SLU Professor Earns 'Distinguished Teaching Award'
|Angelyn Dries, O.S.F., professor emerita in the Department of Theological Studies, flips through a binder containing photographs and correspondence of every college student she's had since 1983. Dries was recently awarded the 2012 Distinguished Teaching Award. Photo by Danielle Lacey
Angelyn Dries, O.S.F., professor emerita in the Department of Theological Studies, like most professors, enjoys catching up with her students and hearing the latest news in their lives.
But, unlike most professors, she does so by keeping a well-organized binder full of photos, wedding and birth announcements, newspaper clippings and business cards of every college student she's ever had since 1983.
"Seeing people grow and learn their place in life is really important to me," Dries said.
That's more than likely one of the reasons why Dries has been selected to receive the 2012 Distinguished Teaching Award from the American Catholic Historical Association.
The Distinguished Teaching Award is presented each year to a professor who has shown a "high commitment to teaching beyond the expected requirements of their position" and who have through their teaching "promoted Catholic studies from one generation of scholars to another."
Dries stated that she never expected to receive an award like this in her lifetime and is extremely honored.
"Getting this award is, in a way, an affirmation of my desire to continue to grow as a faculty member, a person and a person of faith."
To receive the award, scholars must be nominated and approved by a board vote. Dries doesn't know who nominated her; however, the letter she received that informed her of her win does include a short blurb of one student's comments.
"She has treated me with the utmost respect, in many ways like the very figures that she studies, as persons with multifaceted lives whose value can surface in unexpected ways."
Dries will be recognized during the association's annual conference on Saturday, Jan. 7, in Chicago.
About the American Catholic Historical Association
The American Catholic Historical Association is a conference of scholars, archivists and teachers of Catholic studies and is the place where the field of Catholic studies began.
From its earliest years, the Association has pursued two main objectives: To promote a deeper and more widespread knowledge of the history of the Catholic Church and the advancement of historical scholarship in all fields among its members by offering them opportunities for utilizing their talents and according them public recognition for their demonstrated merits.
For more information or to join the Association, contact Angelyn Dries at email@example.com.

Heavy Hitters: College Football's Top 20 Best Helmets
College football teams can be defined by their choice of helmet. Following in ESPN's footsteps of ranking the best NFL helmets, we rank the college game's top 20 lids.
Note: Rankings based on aesthetics, tradition, meaning, originality, and place in college football history, among other factors. FBS teams only.
20. Georgia
The Bulldogs' helmet is a perfect example of putting your own spin on something and making it better. The block 'G' also is on the helmet of the historic Green Bay Packers. Yes, they just
stole copied the decal. But Georgia's red and black, though, gives it a different feel. If you look at Georgia's helmet history (and who hasn't?), the helmet has stayed pretty much the same throughout the years. The newest version has a white stripe on the top, not exactly a drastic difference from anything before it. Between the hedges, with Uga on the sideline, it wouldn't seem like Georgia football without that regal lid.
The 'Y' on the helmets represents one of BYU's landmarks, "Y Mountain," which has the large letter looming over the campus. More than anything, though, it's a representation of BYU football past and present; that's why the school went back to the future in 2005, scrapping their disastrous new uniforms for a taste of the past. Head coach Bronco Mendenhall said it best: "This is about honoring tradition. This is about respect for and accountability to the coaches and players who have made BYU one of the national pillars of college football." If they went back to the lighter shade of blue and got rid of the ugly helmet stickers, these lids would be even higher.
18. Arkansas
Let's be honest, there are certain helmets that fit certain schools. When you see that maniacal boar coming at you off Arkansas' helmet, it just feels right for the Razorbacks. You think down south, old-time
football. The school enlarged the decal on the helmet in 1995, no doubt to emphasis what already was awesome. From 1958-63, the Razorbacks did not have the ferocious pig, and the helmets looked like a low-rent version of the Alabama lid with the players' numbers on the side. The change was for the better.
17. Penn State
If you aren't a college football fan, you simply don't get it. Yes, that's right. We are helmet snobs. The Penn State helmet is straightforward and clean. To anyone else, it's the most boring thing you've ever seen. That's why art is in the eye of the beholder. Think about a soldout crowd in Happy Valley waving those white towels as Penn State takes the field with their plain white helmets. Though, it wasn't always that way. Prior to 1974, Penn State had numbers on the side of the hats. We like it much better this way.
16. Tennessee
This is the beauty of college football in "Good Old Rocky Top." The classic orange 'T' fits the program perfectly. It's not as omnipresent as the "The U" in Miami but, for generations of Tennessee fans, it's a source of pride. Of course, the helmet is nothing more than an orange and white popsicle stick . And only in college football could a host of high school athletes hope to one day wear a creamsicle on their heads.
15. Nebraska
This isn't New York City or Los Angeles, it's the nation's heartland. And the definition of Nebraska is its proud football program, and that's how the red, simplistic 'N' sits on this white background - prominent and proud. The Cornhuskers is an appropriate nickname, but how would you depict that on a football helmet? Prior to 1970, a 'U' accompanied the 'N' on the helmet, but it was removed from all helmets because there weren't enough of the letters to go around. And that's how the lone 'N' emerged as the symbol of Nebraska football, which is also a perfect symbol of life in the heartland: Plain and simple. Some of the greatest works of art come about by accident.
14. Hawaii
When June Jones arrived in 1999, he decided to makeover an already great helmet and it ended in disaster. But a year later, Hawaii got it right. The school did a great redesign, making the green helmet a staple for both home and away contests. To be honest, we prefer the silver version. But the green version - the green-on-green, to be more exact - gives you the impression you are on the lush Hawaiian landscape. And really, what's better than that?
13. West Virginia
West Virginia has done a good job of putting a twist on a simple helmet. Not to be confused with the "Flying V" of Mighty Ducks fame, this helmet has a "Flying WV" introduced by Don Nehlen making each Mountaineer look like he's motoring around the field. It's a classic in West Virginia, a state in which WVU athletics is king. Of course, Mountaineers fans are known for their rowdiness, but nothing says controlled frenzy like the accentuated WV in a bold yellow against a dark background. It almost makes us want to head to Morgantown and burn some couches. Quietly.
12. Arizona
Maybe it's us, but the Arizona football team always looks strange out there. It's a basketball school, and their uniforms aren't as identifiable in the college football world. The school did a good thing, though, by switching up the helmets last season. It went back to the white ones with a blue stripe on one side and a red stripe on the other like the "Desert Swarm" days. It gave the Wildcats a unique look, one which includes the school's colors and its classic block 'A.' We're starting to come around on the Wildcats of the gridiron; we're already sold on their helmets.
11. Clemson
As we discussed during our uniform rankings, only certain teams can pull off orange. But Clemson is literally the only team who can have the famous paw print, the one which is placed prominently on its helmets. The school had to trademark the paw so that other schools could not copy it. Of course, tigers are perhaps the nation's most popular mascot. Clemson's white paw has a hook at its bottom so you can tell it's exclusive to the South Carolina school that introduced it in 1970. Aesthetically, it's beautiful - looking as if a tiger softly dipped its paw in the helmet's orange paint.
10. Colorado
Colorado's helmet is a dual threat, a good logo with a classic color scheme. The black silhouette of a buffalo is ominous and intimidating and the school's letters are placed perfectly. Yes, it's a big upgrade from the gold and baby blue helmets the team once donned. More than anything, though, it puts Colorado State's helmet to shame. The in-state rival has a poor man's version of the St. Louis Rams' lid. A really, really poor man. And as you know, sometimes you're as good as who you're standing next to.
LSU's helmet history is actually a bit comical. There have been four revisions over the years and all of them clash a stark yellow and purple. But somehow, it works. In fact, the collision of the two colors is a bit royal, like that guy who wears the odd wardrobe just because he can. But in addition to the colors, the school's abbreviation and a fierce tiger are placed prominently on the helmet, giving this lid all-around appeal. We'd wear this in Death Valley any Saturday in the fall.
8. Florida State
The tomahawk chop chant is annoying, but the spear's presence on Florida State's helmets is just right. The gold helmet with garnet and white spear was introduced in Bobby Bowden's first year as coach in 1976. Bowden just recently retired, but the helmet looks like it will last. And why not? Forget FSU's two national titles under the reign - both the helmet's and Bowden's - the thing has everything you want in a college football lid. It's spear is large and distinct enough to pop off the helmet, letting you know it's there. And the tomahawk stickers make it even more intimidating.
7. Ohio State
You're probably expecting a memorabilia joke here, but we're above that. This list is for college football purists, ones who love talking helmets, not selling them. The Buckeyes have a unique lid, one which has stickers with Buckeye tree leaves on them, given to players for big plays and consistency on the field. They've got a cool look to them, too, thanks to an infusion of glitter. Each sticker earned by a player gives him a tangible reward for his solid play. But they're only given out if the team wins the game. No word on what happens if you forfeit.
6. Miami (FL)
"The U" is many things - the name fans and former players refer to the school by, the title of an ESPN documentary about the Hurricanes' heyday and the logo on the side of Miami's helmets. In 1973, the school asked a local public relations firm to come up with something distinctive for Miami's logo. The school did not want to rely on its initials - UM - simply because so many institutions have similar initials. So, in an attempt to be unique, the Hurricanes were transcendent. But forget its place in pop culture, "The U" - in its orange and green - looks good, too.
5. Notre Dame
The school has the legendary "Golden Dome," so it's appropriate that its beloved football team runs around in exquisite gold helmets. There will always be a positive association. It's the right call to go without a logo. Anything else on the helmet would take away from the gold's quiet grace. Student-managers make sure the helmets don't look any less than perfect, putting a fresh coat of paint on them each week. And not just the cheap stuff from Home Depot. The paint consists of real gold flakes. Of course it does.
4. Alabama
Alabama is one of the most storied programs in college football, and its helmet is part of that lore. Yeah, we know college football is playing for the name on the front of the jersey, but in Tuscaloosa, it's also about earning the number on the side of your helmet. The Crimson Tide's helmets haven't changed over the years, and the program has been pretty successful. Even during its lean years, Alabama kept its look the same. The style is so distinctive and that dark shade of crimson is so classy.
3. Texas
When you think Texas football, you think Matthew McConaughey. And burnt orange horns. But mostly Matthew McConaughey. Seriously, though, we know the Longhorns have a huge fanbase, most of which never forgets to remind us, "Hook 'Em Horns." It also wears its special shade of orange prominently. The helmet, with a pure white background, encapsulates everything that is Texas football - the color, the horns and the players' numbers on the back. They weren't always there, though. The numbers used to be placed above the logo, making it look ugly and cluttered. Nice adjustment. And massive props for making a cow on a helmet look awesome.
What other colors but
garnet cardinal and gold could befit the Men of Troy's helmets? It's not so much young Hollywood - Lindsay Lohan wouldn't wear it - but classic Tinseltown. USC is a private university in Los Angeles, but its football team seems like public property in Southern California. And everyone wears Trojan colors. Refined and classy - it smells like old money (go ahead, insert your "University of Spoiled Children joke"). But other than being the definition of LaLa land, it's design is a great depiction of a Trojan warrior. It's a warrior that never stepped foot in SoCal in any decade but remains identifiable thanks to USC football. And the switch to a gray facemask under Pete Carroll was a great call.
1. Michigan
Just like the University of Michigan, you either love these helmets or hate them. And yes, Fritz Crisler just re-used the design he originally came up with at Princeton. But the winged helmet is so incredibly original and steeped into college football history that it's one of the first things that comes to mind when people think of college football like the "Four Horsemen" and the Heisman Trophy.
The mixture of maize and blue is awesome and they also have a functional purpose (supposedly): Helping quarterbacks see their receivers down field. Last year the AP also voted them the greatest helmets in college football and Bob Asmussen of the Champaign (IL) News-Gazette remarked, "I'll bet the Wolverines get 10-15 percent of their recruits based on helmets alone."

Why I Teach
I approach my teaching style from a practitioner point-of-view. By offering an appreciation of multiple global perspectives and disciplines, along with real-world context of that knowledge, students develop the ability to execute problem solving. My students use the theories, concepts and practices we discuss in the classroom and transfer them into real-time, practical global consulting opportunities. This allows for a greater connection between the classroom and the larger world.
I believe in creating global business challenges for students where they can take what they learn to improve the performance of selected organizations. The reward of teaching this way is seeing each student's exponential growth in knowledge, skills and confidence.

Phoenix Coyotes (14-6-4) at Minnesota Wild (15-6-4), 8 p.m.
(SportsNetwork.com) - One of the hotter teams in November, the Minnesota Wild will have to trudge on without their leading scorer.
The Wild won't have forward Zach Parise for the next handful of games, beginning with Wednesday night's showdown with the Phoenix Coyotes.
Parise is expected to be sidelined for the next 2-to-3 weeks with a foot contusion suffered when he blocked a shot in Monday's 3-0 loss to the St. Louis Blues. The forward has 11 goals and leads Minnesota with 22 points.
The 29-year-old will miss his first games since signing with Minnesota in July of 2012, having played in 73 straight games, but both player and club acknowledged it could have been worse.
"It's disappointing to lose Zach for any amount of time, but when you look at the number of foot injuries that you see, it very easily could have been the 4-to-6-week scenario, and then you're talking 15 or 20 games," general manager Chuck Fletcher told the Minneapolis Star Tribune. "So as crazy at it sounds, we're actually fairly pleased."
The Wild are less pleased with the outcome of Monday's game as the club was shut out for the first time this season. Minnesota also suffered just its second regulation loss of the month (9-2-1).
Niklas Backstrom made 18 saves in the loss.
"We got behind the eight-ball and it's tough to come back in this league," Wild forward Jason Pominville said. "They're a tough team to play against anyway, but when they get the lead, it makes it even tougher."
In addition to losing Parise, the Wild played on Monday without netminder Josh Harding, who suffered a lower-body injury during warmups on Saturday. Harding has 13 wins on the season, is second in the league with a 1.48 goals against average and third with a .939 save percentage.
Harding's status for this game is unknown, so Backstrom is likely to get the start and is 13-9-0 with a 2.19 GAA in 22 career meetings with the Coyotes.
Minnesota is also hopeful that forward Mikael Granlund can return from a two- game absence caused by an upper-body ailment.
The Coyotes are dealing with an injury to their leading goal-scorer in Shane Doan, who did not finish Monday's 4-2 loss to the Nashville Predators due to a lower-body injury. Doan leads Phoenix with eight goals and is second with 19 points.
The 37-year-old captain did not practice on Tuesday, but has not been ruled out for this game.
"It's nothing serious," Coyotes coach Dave Tippett told his team's website. "It's just we don't want it to get worse."
Phoenix fell behind 3-0 in the first period versus Nashville and got second- period tallies from Antoine Vermette and Tim Kennedy, but could not come back. Mike Smith yielded three goals on 28 shots in the Coyotes' third straight loss.
"We have to get ourselves back in the game before we get embarrassed," said Tippett. "Some of the guys are getting beat 1-on-1 too much and that's not good."
Smith is 4-5-1 with a 2.03 GAA and two shutouts in 10 previous meetings with the Wild, including eight starts.
The Coyotes lost the final two of three meetings last season with the Wild, but have won five of their past seven in Minnesota.

First drive: Lotus Evora 414E
It's an electric Evora with a 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine. And 402bhp. Meet the future…
Posted: 11 Oct 2012
Excellent - is this a new Lotus?
Sort of. But I'm afraid you won't be able to buy one. The 414E is a Lotus Engineering project, and the Engineering boys form a separate company to Lotus Cars. As such, this 414E is a glorified billboard for LE, designed to show off just what they think is possible with a range extender.
Range extender - isn't that what the Vauxhall Ampera is?
Yes. But in the Evora you've got a 1.2-litre three-cylinder engine (Lotus' own unit, by the way) which powers a set of batteries, which in turn power two electric motors developing 402bhp and 737lb ft. In other words, it's not short on oomph. 0-60mph takes 4.4 seconds, and the top speed is 133mph. All for a return of about 41mpg and 55g/km of CO2.
But because that petrol engine isn't in any way connected to the wheels, Lotus can fix the speed it runs at (3,500rpm) for the most efficient fuel figures. What this means in reality is that when you accelerate, the engine note doesn't change, which feels a bit odd at first because your brain is hardwired into expecting an alteration.
Has any of this made it handle differently?
I'm afraid so. Despite Lotus' mastery in making cars ride and handle sweetly, it has struggled to overcome the extra 377kg of electrical gubbins that this Evora is carrying around. It definitely feels heavier, but don't panic too much - the 414E is still a fun car to drive. And the Lotus poise is still there.
Plus, Lotus is working on giving the car an interesting - and fake - 'exhaust' note, and looking into the possibility of fitting flappy paddles, to give an illusion of changing gear (even though you're only driving an electric motor, which has just the one ratio).
In other words, this could be the first electric car to have character.
But what does this all mean to me?
Glad you asked. It means you should be proud, because Lotus is still churning out impressive engineering projects and solving industry dilemmas. You can also be proud because this is a UK project - the funding has come from a £19 million pot that's been set up by the British Government, Jaguar Land Rover, Nissan, Lotus and various suppliers.
And because Nissan is involved, you'll be driving this tech sooner than you might think. The Emerg-e concept uses all this clever engineering, and that car will be on sale in production form possibly as soon as 2015.

In perspective: Wait... what?March 6, 2013 5:54 pm | by Brian Santo | Comments
Once upon a time, Time Warner was a giant media company with both a programming arm and a distribution arm. Investors demanded Time Warner Cable be spun off. After buying the rest of NBC Universal, Comcast now looks pretty similar to 2008 Time Warner.
Capital Currents: FCC broadcast spectrum incentive auctionsMarch 6, 2013 5:42 pm | by Jeffrey Krauss, President of Telecommunications and Technology Policy | Comments
The big picture on FCC incentive auctions of broadcast spectrum, includes two key elements: 1) The transfer of at least 120 MHz of spectrum for mobile broadband use; and 2) The generation of enough revenues to pay broadcaster relocation costs, the funding of a national broadband public safety network, as well as support for deficit reduction.
Ciciora's Corner: Technology needs rich peopleMarch 6, 2013 5:31 pm | by Walt S. Ciciora, Expert on cable and consumer electronics issues | Comments
In some quarters, wealth has received a bad name. A little thought reveals that our industry and our careers strongly depend on there being "rich people." Start-up endeavors need investors, people with at least a little excess money they can put at risk in hopes of making a return.
Engineering-Wise: The intelligent cable networkMarch 6, 2013 5:18 pm | by Daniel Howard Senior vice president of engineering and CTO of the SCTE | Comments
Besides the capacity and robustness improvement, there's something else about DOCSIS 3.1 and its use of OFDM) that excites me: the network intelligence it enables. We already use DOCSIS devices as network health probes, but OFDM will essentially turn our equipment into multifunction test generators that can be used to measure most of the key RF performance parameters.
Memory Lane: When the sky was the limitMarch 5, 2013 9:15 pm | by Stewart Schley Media & technology writer | Comments
On Dec. 13, 1975, RCA gave the cable industry a pre-Christmas gift to remember when the first of RCA's Satcom series of geostationary satellites was launched by NASA from a Delta 3000 rocket. That satellite and its progeny have endured for decades as an essential conduit for cable programming.
DOCSIS theft and cloningMarch 5, 2013 8:52 pm | by Owen Parsons, cable access ops engineer III at Cox Communications | Comments
As long as there are services, there will be service thieves. Preventing this theft may take some configuration changes in software, firmware upgrades and the removal of problematic cable modems, as well as adjustments to CMTS settings. Combating service theft has been a series of moves and countermoves, not unlike a game of chess.
Making the second screen workFebruary 7, 2013 12:52 pm | by Brian Santo | Comments
Years after Netflix, smartphones and tablets all hit the scene, even those service providers capable of multi-screen delivery continue to struggle with the multi-screen phenomenon. That's because even as service providers respond to viewers' increasing appetite for video on screens other than the TV, consumers' multi-screen behavior continues to evolve.
A kaleidoscope of moving partsFebruary 7, 2013 11:34 am | by Craig Kuhl, Contributing Editor | Comments
The once heavily tech-driven business model of small Tier 2 and Tier 3 cable and broadband service providers is morphing into a kaleidoscope of moving, interchangeable parts. Smaller operators whose subscriber counts number in the four- and five-figure range are fiddling with and tweaking their business models like never before.
Managing the multi-screen video transformationFebruary 7, 2013 10:56 am | by Paul Casinelli, product manager at IneoQuest Technologies | Comments
The multi-screen transformation has taken the video world by storm. Customers now expect the same video services they receive on their set-top box on their video-capable devices. Adoption of multi-screen services is occurring across the spectrum, running the gamut of service providers, content providers and enterprises.
Harnessing the power of interoperabilityFebruary 6, 2013 11:59 am | by Robin Mersh, CEO of Broadband Forum | Comments
Technology development is accelerating, and consumer and enterprise demand for bandwidth-hungry content and applications continues to expand. The need for global standardization has become an industry prerequisite, driven by the needs of service providers to deliver robust new services quickly and cost-effectively.
In Perspective - Stick a 4K in 3-D: It's doneFebruary 4, 2013 1:08 pm | by Brian Santo | Comments
The big thing in TV land at CES, in terms of both hype and actual size, was 4K TVs, aka ultra-high-def, or Ultra HDTVs. The great thing about shows like CES is that they show you exciting possible futures. Let's just take a moment to acknowledge that 4K TVs are pretty darn nifty.
Memory Lane - Broadband's latest wrinkleFebruary 4, 2013 12:54 pm | by Stewart Schley, media and technology writer | Comments
There is a movement toward usage-based pricing that borrows from an electrical utility model of the early 1900s. Today's megabits are yesterday's kilowatts, and like power companies before them, service providers appreciate the symbiotic relationship that device makers can deliver.
Ciciora's Corner - Should you get a patent?February 4, 2013 12:16 pm | by Walt S. Ciciora, expert on cable and consumer electronics issues | Comments
Have you ever considered getting a patent yourself? Should you? This is not an easy decision. It's a lot of work, and it is expensive. Done right, it's very expensive. And that's just the beginning. A patent is the right to exclude someone from making, using or selling your invention.
Open Mic - Showcasing the value of personalizationFebruary 4, 2013 12:07 pm | by Peter Docherty, founder and CTO of ThinkAnalytics | Comments
There are so many TV choices available that it's virtually impossible for consumers to discover what's really there. The challenge is proactively presenting subscribers with personalized content recommendations, instead of forcing them to work hard to find something they like to watch.
Engineering-Wise - United and prepped for battleFebruary 4, 2013 11:41 am | by Mark Dzuban, president and CEO of the SCTE | Comments
I've always been impressed by the coordination required to keep our country safe. From our nation's earliest skirmishes to the invasion of Normandy and Operation Desert Storm, teamwork across all branches of the armed services has been essential to the protection of our nation, and the world. It's much the same in our industry.

The Rock The Frock Phenomenon
Trashing the dress has become an increasingly popular sport in wedding photography. It's also become a topic of major debate. To some, it's wasteful and symbolic of marriage, but to others, "trashing the dress" is expressive and liberating.
We've collected some of our favorite trashing campaigns and have to admit it looks fun. From food fights to paint and mud, these brides have decided to rock their frocks! Would you?

The IFRS Taxonomy is the XBRL representation of IFRSs, including International Accounting Standards (IASs), Interpretations, and the IFRS for Small and Medium-sized Entities (SMEs), issued by the IASB. The IFRS Taxonomy contains tags for all IFRS disclosures.
By providing the IFRS Taxonomy, the IFRS Foundation seeks to address the demand for an electronic standard to transmit IFRS financial information.
Like the IFRS Bound Volume, the IFRS Taxonomy is released once a year to incorporate new IFRSs, improvements to existing IFRSs, and also changes in XBRL technology.
The annual development cycle of the IFRS Taxonomy involves the:
The two are then combined and the result is a set of XBRL, computer files which make-up the IFRS Taxonomy. The annual development cycle of the IFRS Taxonomy is illustrated below:
The IFRS Taxonomy is developed through a formal system of due process and broad international consultation. This ensures transparency and compliance with best practice, and also provides quality assurance and opportunities to engage with stakeholders in order to understand their concerns and the impact the IFRS Foundation's decisions will have.
XBRL tags are defined and organised using a categorisation scheme called a taxonomy. Taxonomies are the computer-readable 'dictionaries' of XBRL. A taxonomy provides definitions for XBRL tags, it provides information about the tags, and it organises the tags so that they have a meaningful structure.
A taxonomy enables a computer with XBRL software to:
Taxonomies differ according to different reporting purposes, the type of information being reported and reporting presentation requirements. Therefore a company may use one taxonomy when reporting to a stock exchange, but use a different taxonomy when reporting to a securities regulator.
Taxonomies are available for most of the major national accounting standards around the world. For a company reporting in IFRS, the IFRS Foundation publishes tags for each IFRS disclosure. These tags are organised and contained within the IFRS Taxonomy.

Rated 2.9 out of 5Â by 7 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by mariacbattinelli runs small but i still love them bought these boots in a size 37, because I am typically a 6.5 and I could not get them on my feet at all. the ankle portion of the boot is very tight and it is almost impossible to get your foot in the size you would typically buy in Jeffrey Campbell boots. I sent them back and got a size 38 and they are still a little snug when putting them on but I think they just need to be broken in. other than having to order a full size up, I love the boots, they are great to throw on with jeans and a tee or wear them with a dress/skirt and tights or leggings. definitely recommend a size up though. they running very small. 3.27.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by NessaBear huge diappointment, OUCH! I love heels so my feet can generally take an uncomfortable heel. but these boots are soooo uncomfortable! and now I wore them a couple times trying to break in so cant return them. which is a HUGE disappointment because I bought them at full price. so now I have these amazingly cute boots I spent almost 350.00 on that I can never wear. they just wont wear in. im so disappointed because they are adorable, but I am really disappointed I wasted so much money for them to now just look cute sitting in my closet. not happy. 4.26.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by lelah Cute Boots but too small I have a bunch of pairs of JC boots and they are all size 8. I would say I have a normal foot. These were so narrow that I couldn't even get my foot into the 8. They are adorable though. I debated on getting the 9 (which I would never be a 9) but I feel that they are just all going to run small inside. 3.20.2013
Rated 2 out of 5Â by dk1139 Gorgeous, but... These boots are terribly uncomfortable. I only wore them around my apartment to try to get the feel of them...and they hurt! The heel is too high to not have a platform. It puts a lot of pressure on your toes and the pointy toe makes it even less comfortable. I love the look of these shoes, but i will be returning them. Props to you if you can deal with the pain! Also, you can see the glue, so the quality of the boot doesn't really match the price. 12.27.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Pain Love but... these are the most painful heals I have ever worn. They don't look like they would be hard to walk in but they are so painful. I think its because the heel height is so high and there is no platform. I'm still going to fight through the pain and wear them because they're so cute but just beware. they are also very difficult to put on because there id no zipper. 11.12.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Mikalah GREAT! I ordered these boots to go with a new coat, and I love them! I went with my usual 7.5, and I do agree that they run a bit snug, but not enough to rate them down or warranty a return for me. I'm hoping they may stretch out with some wear. The height of the heel is fabulous, and I love the chunky, edgy quality to them. The studs appear to be on there good and solid but I would expect that some would fall off. My one complaint is the quality of the sole. You can see some of the glue where the pieces were put together and the craftsmanship just doesn't look polished. That does make me question the price point a bit, as I'm not seeing a real correlation between that and the physical product so be aware. However, as they're on my feet and I'm not likely to notice it isn't enough for me to return them. I still think they're going to be a great statement for this winter and fal! 9.20.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by LDS Order larger size love these boots. Just arrived today and normally wear a 9 and these were way too small. Order at least a half size to full size larger. 9.17.2012

Nice design. Do the blades spin?
Looks like the blades are connected with a rare part, the Technic Liftarm Rotor 3 Blades. These sell for 2 or 3 dollars apiece on Bricklink.

No, they're connected with a different piece that has studs on it.

Okay, it must be the Technic Rotor 3 Blade with 6 Studs.
Do the blades rotate?

Yes, the blades rotate. And thanks for the tip on the rarity of these connectors. I'll be sure to abscond with them from my team after the season is over!

they might not be rare much longer you get a few in the new harvester, you get 4 like the new treads were 1 dollar each at first at BL now that lego ed sells them for 10$ for 100 pluss 10 coggs the price has dropped at BL. the snow mobile is gone-out of stock.

Well, the studded rotor blade is not as rare as the studless one, but it's still an unusual piece.
22doc, I remember thinking that those treads would become cheaper. Glad they have. Last thing I want is to worry about keeping track of tiny parts that are expensive to replace.

Yes, the blades rotate, but (and this is the important part), they do not kill any birds!
