February 4, 2014 by Mike Reeves
On the evening of May 26, 1976, Roy Landsberger hooked and landed a 13.13-pound largemouth bass from a small pond in Northeast Ohio. To date, it is the largest bass ever recorded in Ohio's history.
For nearly 40 years the record has remained unbroken. In the eyes of many, it is a mark that is untouchable. While the record itself is known by most avid Ohio bass anglers, the story behind the catch remains shrouded in mystery - until now. What follows is the story of Roy Landsberger's Ohio record largemouth.
In 1973, three years prior to breaking the record, Landsberger had returned to his hometown of Kensington, Ohio, after serving in the Vietnam War. As a soldier in the United States Army, Landsberger had driven a tanker truck that supplied fuel to U.S. aircraft for missions in Laos and Cambodia.
Resting 20 miles due-east of Canton on the outskirts of Appalachian country, Kensington was a quaint town, surrounded by rolling hills, lush forests and fertile farmland. Landsberger took a job as a laborer at the nearby Robert F. Donahey Tree Farm. Donahey was an insurance executive from Cleveland who had built a home on the 1,000-acre farm where he and his crew raised evergreens that were eventually harvested as Christmas trees.
One of the perks of Landsberger's job was that he was permitted to fish the seven spring-fed ponds that were clustered together on the property. The ponds were connected to each other by a series of small runoff creeks, and the largest pond, which was approximately one and a half acres in size, featured an earthen dam and concrete spillway. In the eyes of 25 year old Landsberger, there was no better way to melt away the rigors of a long day's labor than to fish along the banks of the ponds at the end of a shift.
On the evening he broke the record, Landsberger went fishing by himself, as he had done most every night that spring. Armed with his antique Bache Brown Spinster reel, which was manufactured by the Lionel Train Company, and a red fishing rod his mother had acquired for him using S&H Green Stamps, Landsberger trekked to the earthen dam bank of the big pond.
The pond tapered from 2 feet at the edge to approximately 12 feet at the bottom of the drop-off. Landsberger stealthily crept his way down the bank, casting a yellow-and-black spotted Arbogast Jitterbug along the water's edge. As darkness began to fall, and with little action to speak of, he told himself he would retrieve the topwater plug and make one final cast. Splashing and plopping as it danced its way back to shore, the Jitterbug was suddenly inhaled by an enormous fish, right at Landsberger's feet.
"It hit right as I was about to lift the lure out of the water. Because it hit so close and it was pretty dark out, I couldn't tell right away what kind of fish it was. I was using 12-pound line, and it was pulling line from my drag really quickly, so I knew it was big," explained Landsberger.
The fish surged towards deeper water, and Landsberger expertly turned it to the shallows. He thought he had gained the upper hand, but the fish decided it wasn't quite done, making a second push for deep water.
"As I was fighting the fish back towards the bank for the second time, she surfaced and I saw her mouth. That's when I knew it was a bass," he said.
Not willing to risk losing the giant fish, Landsberger saw his chance to land her as she made her approach to shore. He stepped into the water up to his knees, and lipped the behemoth by her lower jaw.
"When I looked down into her throat I realized she had only a single hook from the Jitterbug in the meaty part of her upper mouth. My first thought was that bass just don't grow this big," he said.
Landsberger knew he was holding an extraordinary fish. Thinking quickly, he strung the fish up through its gills with a piece of rope, tied it to the metal grate that covered the spillway overflow, and then ran a short distance to Mr. Donahey's house.
"I told Mr. Donahey about how big the fish was, and he decided to call Lester Jones, the area game warden, to let him know about the catch," he recalled.
Upon the arrival of Jones, Landsberger drove the men in his pickup truck to the edge of the pond, leaving the headlights shining to where the monster was tied-off.
"Jones couldn't believe her size. He was astonished. He knew it was something special and told me we had to get it on ice until the big shots from the ODNR office in Akron could come inspect the fish," Landsberger recalled.
Jones had brought with him a set of baby scales, the same set he always used when an angler called in a possible record catch. He placed the fish, still alive and dripping with eggs, on the scales. To the men's disbelief, the needle settled just above the 14-pound mark. Landsberger put the fish in the plastic vegetable storage bin at the bottom of Donahey's refrigerator and covered her with ice.
The next afternoon, May 27, three officials from the ODNR made their way down to Kensington and met Landsberger, Jones and Donahey at a meat locker in town that had a set of certified scales. In the presence of all men, the fish was weighed in at an astounding 13.13 pounds. From nose to tail it measured 25 and 1/16 inches.
But there was a problem. Because none of the officials had ever seen or heard of a pure Northern-strain largemouth of that size living in Ohio, they were skeptical, and took the fish with them to be examined at The Ohio State University Fish Division in Columbus. Officials suspected that Landsberger's fish could possibly be a transplanted Florida-strain largemouth.
A week prior to the one-year anniversary of the date Landsberger landed the fish, it was determined after undergoing numerous tests at OSU that the fish was, in fact, a 13-year-old female pure Northern-strain largemouth, giving Landsberger the official Ohio state record.
Shortly after the record was recognized, Landsberger was contacted by Jack Lash, a renowned taxidermist from Massillon, Ohio. Lash took the fish and mounted it, free of charge, for Landsberger. Today, Landsberger keeps the mount, as well as the original rod, reel and the Jitterbug at his home in Kensington.
The newspaper reporters called - everyone wanted to hear about his record bass. But Landsberger never capitalized on the record financially, and to this day hasn't earned a penny as a result of the catch.
"I didn't have a clue about fishing for big bass at the time. I didn't realize that companies would endorse you if you were using their rod and reel. If only I had been using a Shakespeare, who knows," he exclaimed.
After breaking the record, Landsberger decided to take a trip to Dale Hollow Reservoir, home of the world record smallmouth, in pursuit of possibly breaking another record.
"I went down to Dale Hollow and rented a boat for an entire week, and didn't catch a single smallmouth," he said, laughing at the futility of the trip.
What made the Donahey pond special? What about its makeup allowed for a bass to grow to such an impressive weight? For starters, according to Landsberger, it benefited from two sources of fresh water inflow, which included a creek and a natural spring at the bottom of the pond. The pond supported a strong forage base, consisting primarily of large shiners, shad, bluegills, crawdads and bull frogs, all of which thrived in the clear, cool water.
"I'm convinced that fish thought she was eating one of those big bull frogs when she struck," he said.
To Landsberger's knowledge, the ponds had been stocked at some point in the past, although he couldn't offer details beyond a fleeting recollection, meaning the genetic source of the record fish will likely never be known.
You're probably wondering about the location of the pond? Located approximately 5 miles to the south of Kensington, it remained, untouched, in its record-breaking form, until 1987 when the Boy Scouts of America purchased the land from Donahey and created the Seven Ranges Boy Scout Reservation. Shortly after the purchase, the seven ponds on the property were flooded and dammed-up to create a single 30-acre impoundment, known today as Lake Don Brown.
Although the lake is not open to the public, Landsberger has hosted a small bass tournament on the lake each year for a few of his closest friends.
"That fish's genes are still in there. I've been fishing for them ever since, but haven't caught another big one like that. The biggest we've caught during any of those tournaments is 6 pounds - but I know there's still a big one in there," he opined.
Now 63 years old, Landsberger retired last year after nearly 40 years in the tree farming business. A father of three, and grandfather to three granddaughters, he still fishes regularly on Northeast Ohio's many inland lakes, as well as Lake Erie.
As our conversation came to an end, I asked him if he believed the record would ever be broken.
"I thought it would be broken by now, I really did. It's been almost 40 years and nobody's done it. I just don't know. I just don't know," he replied softly, as his thoughts drifted back to a warm May evening in 1976 when a young man went fishing, and accomplished something truly extraordinary.

No Charges in MySpace Teen Suicide Case
Published: 12/3/07, 8:05 PM EDT
By BETSY TAYLOR
ST. LOUIS (AP) - People who sent cruel Internet messages to a 13-year-old girl before she committed suicide won't face criminal charges, a suburban St. Louis prosecutor announced Monday.
St. Charles County prosecutor Jack Banas said that while he understands the public outrage over Megan Meier's death, he could not find statutes allowing him to charge anyone in the case.
"We were certainly hopeful that there was going to be some sort of prosecution, but I'm certainly not surprised," said Megan's mother, Tina Meier.
The Dardenne Prairie girl's parents say she hanged herself Oct. 16, 2006, minutes after she became distraught over mean messages received through the social networking site MySpace. She died the next day, and weeks later her family learned that a boy she had been communicating with online did not actually exist.
A police report said that a mother from the neighborhood and her then-18-year-old employee fabricated a profile for a teenage boy online who pretended to be interested in Megan before he began bullying her.
"I think people are upset that a parent got involved in something so childish, and that a young girl committed suicide," Banas said in a telephone interview.
The police report indicates others gained access to the profile, and there's a dispute over who specifically was involved in sending Meier messages just before her death. The 18-year-old, posing as Josh, sent one of the last messages telling Megan the world would be better off without her, Banas said.
Banas said he took a look at the case after federal authorities said no federal crime was committed. He said he reviewed laws related to stalking, harassment and child endangerment before making his announcement.
Banas said harassment and stalking laws both require proof that communication was made to frighten, disturb or harass someone. In this case, he said, the fictitious MySpace profile was created not to bully Megan, but to find out what she was saying about the neighborhood mother's then-13-year-old daughter, a former friend.
"There are a few statements at the end that are a heated argument," he said. "That's why you have a hard time making a harassment case."
Reaction to the case has been strong, with angry postings on the Internet identifying the family behind the fake profile. The household has reported vandalism, including a brick through a window, once word got out about the circumstances surrounding the death. Police have stepped up patrols in the area.
The family whose members created the site have previously declined to comment and did not answer phone calls Monday.
Banas said he was unable to speak directly with the 18-year-old employee, who he said has been hospitalized for psychiatric treatment. He said it's his understanding that the girl from the neighborhood is now being home-schooled.
Meier's family has been seeking legal changes since it became clear in recent weeks that it was unlikely anyone would be charged. Two Missouri communities, including Dardenne Prairie, have changed local laws to make Internet harassment a crime, and several others are considering measures. Changes are also being proposed to state law.
Banas issued two pages about the case, noting disagreements between the neighborhood mother and her employee over what happened.
For instance, the mother said her daughter and the employee came to her with the idea of creating the MySpace account. The employee said she created the account, but that it came from a brainstorming effort by all three.
The mother maintained communications were supposed to remain civil.
"She stated that she told the girls if they were going to do this, they were only to speak to Megan in polite terms and not say anything disrespectful," those documents say.
The 18-year-old employee told the FBI that any time the 13-year-old talked to Megan on MySpace, the child's mother was present.
The mother told the FBI she was not home when heated exchanges took place before the death. The 18-year-old employee first said the woman was, then said she was not, but that the woman's husband was.
Tina Meier said the bottom line for her was that the other mother knew about the fake profile, knew Megan was on medication, and let the hoax continue. She said the fake profile was deleted right after the death. Then, she said, the woman didn't come clean.
"Our daughter died, committed suicide, and she still didn't say a word," Meier said. "I still feel what she did is absolutely criminal."
Meier's family has talked to attorneys about the case but has not filed a lawsuit.
Meier has acknowledged that Megan was too young to have a MySpace account under the Web site's guidelines. But Tina Meier has explained that she was able to closely monitor the account.
Meier said she wished the 18-year-old involved had used better judgment.
"I really hope she gets the help she needs, and I don't think she meant for this to happen to Megan," she said, adding that perhaps one day that woman will be able to educate people against cyberbullying.
Of Megan's 13-year-old former friend, she said: "I certainly don't wish her any harm. Unfortunately, she doesn't get to pick her parents."

Have you been told that some long time blogger on WU are Trolls and you believe it?with out even asking for their side of the story?
I have been accused (wrongfully)of being a troll with multiple names ,and causing trouble on the blogs.I washed my hands of the spates on here a couple of months ago
I have contacted admin about this ...I think they should be able to verify who is who on here.
Admin told me to put this person on ignore while they checked into the matter(I did that)but I still get Emails from this Person daily.
I guess the point of this blog is..... Investigate Rumors about people on here before you pass Judgment.
I also think that if WU required you to fill out more personal information and pay the 10 dollar fee for every name you had on here it would cut out a lot of the troll trouble and extra names that just seem to pop up'
Thank you and leave your thoughts
Admin I didn't post this to stir the pot but to let people know my stand...if you ban this (or the Birdofpray blog for these post...I dont need to be here anyway

Engaging Art explores what it means to participate in the arts in contemporary society – from museum attendance to music downloading. Drawing on the perspectives of experts from diverse fields (including Princeton scholars Robert Wuthnow and Paul DiMaggio; Barry Schwartz, author of The Paradox of Choice; and MIT scholars Henry Jenkins and Mark Schuster), this volume analyzes key trends involving technology, audience demographics, religion, and the rise of "do-it-yourself" participatory culture. Commissioned by The Wallace Foundation and independently carried out by the Curb Center at Vanderbilt University, Engaging Art offers a new framework for understanding the momentous changes impacting America's cultural life over the past fifty years.
This volume offers suggestive glimpses into the character and consequence of a new engagement with old-fashioned participation in the arts. The authors in this volume hint at a bright future for art and citizen art making. They argue that if we center a new commitment to arts participation in everyday art making, creativity, and quality of life, we will not only restore the lifelong pleasure of homemade art, but will likely seed a new generation of enthusiasts who will support America's signature nonprofit cultural institutions well into the future.

The IPC's Mary Giovagnoli in ABC/Univision
Published on Tue, Apr 09, 2013
The IPC's Director, Mary Giovagnoli, was featured in a ABC News-Univision article titled "Should There be a One-Year Time Limit on Asylum Claims?"
"The one-year deadline was put into place as part of a broad, enforcement-centered immigration law passed in 1996, but should be rolled back now, according to Mary Giovagnoli, the director of the American Immigration Council's Immigration Policy Center.
"'The idea was that it would be a deterrent to people who really didn't have asylum claims, because if you didn't apply within the first year of coming to the United States, the presumption was you didn't really have a fear of returning to your country,' Giovagnoli said. 'Although there were some exceptions built into that law, the exceptions were not very generous.'"

Inverness CT 0-1 Hibernian
- From the section Football
Garry O'Connor's stoppage-time goal gave Hibernian their first-ever triumph in Inverness as Caley Thistle were made to rue a string of missed chances.
Caley Thistle's Gregory Tade had an effort ruled out for offside.
Hibs' Ian Murray had a similar effort chopped off before Matt Thornhill was denied by a Ryan Esson save.
Caley Thistle's Greg Tansey struck a post before Esson somehow allowed a scuffed shot from O'Connor to cross the line in the dying seconds.
And defeat leaves Inverness as the only side still to secure a point in the Scottish Premier League.
Two of Caley Thistle's three most recent signings, Wales midfielder Owain Tudur Jones and Austria Under-21 full-back Thomas Piermayr, had come into the starting line-up in place of Andrew Shinnie and David Proctor.
David Stephens replaced the injured Sean O'Hanlon in the visiting defence, which was the first to be under pressure after a quiet start.
Piermayr's 25-yard drive flew just wide of a Hibs post and the visitors responded immediately, with Kenny Gillet's last-ditch tackle turn.
However, it soon became clear why Inverness manager Terry Butcher was so keen to re-sign the experienced Chris Hogg on Friday.
With Hogg not yet match fit, his former team were finding their way through the home central defence and Kenny Gillet denied Ivan Sproule with a last-ditch interception after the winger delayed his close-range strike.
Esson beat away a 20-yard drive from O'Connor and the Scotland striker was denied again when his side-foot effort from just three yards following a Sproule cross struck the goalkeeper on the face.
Butcher was berating his players in frustration and they responded with a half-volley sent over the crossbar at the back post by Richie Foran.
As Caley Thistle showed signs of improvement, Tade had the ball in the net, smashing the ball home from close range, but his celebrations were cut short by an offside flag against Foran.
Inverness continued to improve after the break, but the officials came to the rescue of Caley Thistle after Murray smashed the ball into the net from six yards only for the goal to be chopped off thanks to a flag from the assistant referee.
Hibs took heart and Esson did superbly to turn a Thornhill scissor kick over the crossbar.
Tansey poked the ball just wide from close range after a good run by the Inverness midfielder, while Tom Aldred failed to connect from only two yards as a cross flashed across the face of the Hibs goal.
Hibs goalkeeper Graham Stack parried clear a powerful effort from Shane Sutherland, while Tansey struck the post from close range, but the visitors stole the points in stoppage time.

She'd like them to understand, but since they couldn't, she wanted to get away. She escaped into anger and it's not her fault. She felt alone in the hardest part of her life.

Prizes will be awarded to every student who completes the survey.
Students will have the choice of one of the following items:
- UB Lounge Pants

Every student who completes the survey will also be entered in a drawing to win:
- iPad Mini
- Bicycle
- $250 Campus Cash
About NCHA
The National College Health Assessment (NCHA) is a national research effort organized by the American College Health Association (ACHA). The survey is used to assist college health service providers, health educators, counselors, and administrators to collect data about their students' habits, behaviors, and perceptions on the most prevalent health topics:
- alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use
- sexual health
- weight, nutrition, and exercise
- mental health
- injury prevention, personal safety, and violence
While other health surveys of college students cover a single topic area, such as alcohol and drug use, the ACHA-NCHA offers the broadest range of health issues, as well as the ability to map the results over an extended period of time.
NCHA Results from 2013
In the Spring of 2013, the University at Buffalo joined with over 250 other colleges, and participated in the NCHA. Wellness Education Services spearheaded this effort. The on-line NCHA was completed by 5,281 students and will provide a guidance for our campus health promotion efforts.

Video Industry News Video Company News Technology Industry News Technology Company News Novelty Industry News Novelty Company News Gay Industry News Gay Company News Legal Industry News All Company News
Released: Nov 01st, 2005
Running Time: 113
Director: Dale Jordan
Company: Baby Doll Pictures
Cast: Felisha Honey, Cierra Nevaeh, Teanna Kai, Marlena, John West, Trevor Zen, Savannah James, Melodee Bliss, Layla Rivera, Van Damage
Critical Rating: AAA
Genre: Gonzo
Hot, big boobed Asian Teeana Kai does three girl/girl scenes in this flick. Unfortunately, girl/girl work doesn't seem to be her strong point. Teeana - who claims to like being "the man" - doesn't truly take control of the situation until the final scene with Marlena - only to a degree, however. Being the man takes a bit more exertion than just holding out a dick and expecting it be sucked.
The action does get cooking, though, when Van Damage attacks Cierra Nevaeh. Van dominates and Cierra submits. Melodee Bliss and Felisha Honey deliver decent scenes.
Retailing: For Teeana Kai fans, so stock in the Asian girls section.

At least 2 state employees compiled immigrant list, Gov. Gary Herbert says
Shurtleff said because the list included the due dates of several pregnant women, those responsible may have violated federal health privacy laws, which would be a felony, not just a misdemeanor, as some violations of state databases could be.
Shurtleff added that his investigation will not necessarily be limited to state employees. "If others were involved in potential violations of law beyond state employees, certainly we're going to be looking at that, as well."
But Shurtleff said his office does not plan to do anything with the supposed "illegal immigrants" on the list. He said he will seek, as part of immigration reform, the power to go after companies that continually report employee Social Security numbers that are bogus or belong to someone else, even after the state has warned them the numbers are fake.
"As the attorney general of Utah, we condemn in the strongest possible terms the generation and dissemination of this list," Shurtleff said during the conference call to national reporters. "I want to make it very clear that is not the way we do things in Utah."
He said as people debate immigration reform, "we need to do it in a way that is not through lists, that is (not) through hate mongering, through political rhetoric, through threats, through outright and implied racism. That's not how we do things, and we condemn it."
Shurtleff said he hopes all sides will condemn the list and "put the hatred, the accusations aside and work toward comprehensive, workable reform."
Utah Republican Party Chairman Dave Hansen said in a statement Friday that the party supported Herbert's request for an investigation into the origination and release of the list.
"The unlawful release of private information to the public is unconscionable under any circumstances and is not to be tolerated," Hansen said in the statement. "Immigration is an emotional and much-debated issue, not only here in Utah, but nationwide. However, (flouting) the law because of frustration with the law is no excuse for illegal behavior."
"The appropriate method of addressing immigration issues is through existing law or through the legislative process. Those parties who participated in the gathering and distribution of the private information of individuals should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law."
U.S. Secretary of Labor Hilda Solis said that the dissemination of confidential information contained in the list was "highly disturbing." She also said the U.S. Department of Labor would assist the state in the investigation, if necessary.
"No one, regardless of race, gender or ethnic background, should fear that by applying for government benefits or programs he or she is at risk of having personal information revealed," Holis said in a statement.
The list was distributed to news media and law enforcement agencies by an anonymous group calling for deportation of people it included. The list contained names, birth dates, addresses, phone numbers, names of children and even the due dates of several pregnant women. It contained names from all over the state.
Within hours of the first stories about "the list," Hispanic leaders called for Herbert to investigate whether it came from state sources — and he did so quickly.
Latino activist Tony Yapias praised the governor's efforts. "He put this to an end," Yapias said after attending Herbert's news conference. "I appreciated his leadership." Yapias said the incident has been a good lesson for government employees on "how to keep your own personal political views separate from your job."
But Yapias questioned whether the employees acted on their own. "I don't think a state employee, on their own, is going to say, 'Check this out. Let's get this out,' " he said, noting the letter that accompanied the list used the same language as anti-illegal-immigrant groups.
Eli Cawley, chairman of the Utah Minutemen Project, issued a news release on Friday defending the workers who released the data, saying they are patriots and whistle-blowers who deserve praise and not criminal charges.

GALESBURG, Mich. (November 2, 2012)--A female transportation employee will not be charged after she was caught on video slamming a 7-year-old boy into a school bus window in southwestern Michigan, Kalamazoo County Prosecutor Jeff Fink said.
Fink said the woman was acting in self-defense.
A company hired to handle student transportation and the district said the employee was fired after the Oct. 10 incident.
Fink said a review found witnesses reported that the child threatened the employee and put a coat over her head.
He said the child had a history of behavioral issues on the bus that officials were trying to handle.
The video was taken by a student and posted online.
Police investigated the incident as well the ex-employee's claim that the boy had threatened her.

A separable filter in image processing can be written as product of two more simple filters. Typically a 2-dimensional convolution operation is separated into 2 onedimensional filters. This reduces the cost of computing the operator.
1. A twodimensional smoothing filter is separated in this sample:
2. Gaussian blur (smoothing)
3. Sobel operator (edge detection)

AbstractSVT Associates proposes an innovative atomic Hydrogen enhanced growth and surface preparation technique for high performance type-II superlattice focal plane array fabrication. This material system is capable of infrared detection from 2 to > 30 micron, depending on layer composition and thickness. Photodetector arrays using this material are of great interest to the DoD for various applications including, in particular, optical detection and tracking of missiles. Hydrogen atomic flux has already been shown to improve other III-V growth, such as InAs. Applying the Hydrogen treatment to the superlattice should result in smoother substrate surfaces, higher material purity and more abrupt superlattice interfaces, all important factors that should significantly enhance device operation. In Phase II we will combine the Hydrogen process with other tool advances made by SVTA to realize type-II superlattice discrete detectors and detector arrays. We have established collaborations with current FPA suppliers to help bring these superlattice materials to commercial viability.

With all the time we spend moving and editing via FTP, this is a really easygoing way to do the work.
It works exactly like a mounted drive on explorer. (I know Microsoft offers or used to offer similar functionality, but it was not nearly as seamless in my experience).
You can browse, edit files, almost forget it is not part of your local drive. Probably not great for bulk transfers, but it sure beats having to open a big application or typing into a cmd window every time I need to change a line of code. It is freeware and only a tiny little bit buggy. I love it and wanted to spread the word.

Focus on Women Stories
Behind efforts to achieve Zero Hunger are humanitarian staff working tirelessly in the field or behind office desks. Here is the story of two women staff from the World Food Programme (WFP) Philippines, Haydee Balading and Charlyn Pendang, who contribute to addressing food and nutrition security in the country.
In a country where girls are rarely allowed to attend school, WFP's food serves as a powerful incentive for male family members to send the women - mothers and adolescent girls - of their family to vocational skills and literacy classes.
After struggling for years, Fulasa fought her way out of poverty by helping nourish the minds and bodies of children in her community. She serves as a shining example of the central role that women play in addressing poverty and undernutrition.
Women living in the canton of Pimampiro north of Quito are taking action. After attempting to sell food grown in their home gardens, they soon saw that there existed few formal market opportunities in their communities and realized that they faced many challenges. The following article tells the story of a group of organized and united women farmers who created a space for themselves in their local market and who now provide food for WFP's assistance programmes.
Nimdoma Sherpa, a former WFP School Feeding recipient became one of the youngest Nepali women to climb Mt. Everest at the age of 17. Following her conquest of Mt. Everest, she joined the Seven Summits Women Team, with the aim of climbing the seven highest peaks of the world. She recently fulfilled her aspiration after conquering Mt. Vinson Massif in Antarctica in December 2014, at the age of 24. She speaks to WFP Nepal about her penchant for climbing and her future plans.

Yahoo missed many opportunities over the years, leading to its acquisition today by Verizon, but surely one of the biggest was never creating a distinct identity in video. Back in April, 2014, I highlighted the murkiness of Yahoo's video strategy, which has only continued to get more confusing since. With major video players like YouTube, Netflix, Facebook, Hulu and others pursuing distinct strategies that deliver specific benefits to users, Yahoo's "everything but the kitchen sink" approach to video meant it never became truly competitive in any one area.

FreeWheel has acquired Paris-based video supply-side platform StickyADS.tv, for an undisclosed sum, the companies announced this morning. StickyADS.tv is one of the largest independent SSPs and has a team of approximately 100, including a beachhead in the U.S. that was established last Fall. The companies have been working together since last year, including an integration when StickyADS.tv was one of the initial SSPs to join FreeWheel's Preferred Partners program.
FreeWheel's co-CEO and co-founder Doug Knopper told me that the acquisition was in direct response to customers' requests to have a single platform to manage both video ads that are direct sold and those that are transacted programmatically. FreeWheel's customers are among the biggest broadcasters, cable networks and online publishers, and while Doug said direct sold still accounts for the vast majority of inventory for its customers, they recognize how critical programmatic has become and are aggressively positioning themselves for the future.

Just before the holidays, Innovid, one of the pioneers of online video advertising, raised a $27.5 million round, including $12.5 million in debt. It was one of the larger financings in the video ad tech space in the last several months and followed a March, 2015 $10 million investment in Innovid by Cisco. Innovid's CEO and co-founder Zvika Netter caught me up on plans for the new funds and the company's transition to a leading video ad server. Following is an edited transcript.
VideoNuze: Congratulations on the new financing. How will you use the funds?
Zvika Netter: We plan on using the funds for 2 main purposes: First, technology - We are continually innovating based on both what our partners need to help grow their businesses and how we envision the Future of TV advertising. And second, international expansion – 80% of our clients are global brands and agencies. We've been asked by most of them to provide similar solutions and services in new markets in EMEA and APAC.

With my focus yesterday on Amazon's introduction of its Streaming Partners Program and my recognition as a top 10 media writer by LinkedIn, I didn't have a chance to weigh in on something else significant, which is that Clearleap has been acquired by IBM (terms weren't disclosed). I have covered Clearleap for years and was able to catch up with CEO Braxton Jarratt later in the day to learn more about what drove the deal and what to expect going forward.
Braxton said that Clearleap will be a wholly-owned IBM subsidiary, retaining all of its employees and offices while being integrated into IBM Cloud. Clearleap will continue to provide its cloud-based video/OTT services to customers including HBO, A+E Networks, NFL, BBC America, Time Warner Cable, Verizon and others but it will gain new sales/business development leverage internationally, which is a key company focus. Clearleap's solutions will be sold by IBM's Media and Entertainment teams internationally, with incremental Clearleap staff to be hired internationally as well.

VideoAmp, a startup focused on optimizing cross-screen video ad campaigns, has raised a $15 million Series A round led by RTL Group, with participation from existing investors. The new funds will be used for product and business development. VideoAmp has raised $17.2 million to date. RTL is already active in the video space, having invested in both SpotX and clypd.
A video ad tech financing like this would have happened on a near-weekly basis just a few years ago, but with investor confusion about the space due to fragmentation (see the LumaScape), as well as uncertain market conditions, VideoAmp's raise is quite unusual. Yesterday I spoke to VideoAmp's CEO Ross McCray and its chief business officer, Jay Prasad, to learn more about company differentiators and how it succeeded with the financing.

Charter Communications will acquire Time Warner Cable in a $78.7 billion deal, while also continuing its plan to acquire Bright House Networks for $10.4 billion. Assuming the deals close, Charter would become the 3rd-largest pay-TV operator/broadband ISP in the U.S. with a total of approximately 23.9 million subscriber relationships.
Like the prior Comcast-TWC transaction, these deals are driven by the desire for greater scale which supports the huge investments required to innovate in video and broadband services. In this morning's analyst call, Charter CEO Tom Rutledge repeatedly referenced the ability to spread investments over the larger subscriber base as a key benefit of the deals.

Wibbitz, an Israeli text-to-video startup, has raised an $8 million Series B round led by NantMobile, with participation by existing investors. The funds will be used to expand into the U.S. via a new New York City office, headed by CEO and co-founder Zohar Dayan, who brought me up to speed on the company yesterday.
Wibbitz uses natural language processing to quickly turn publishers' text articles into short videos. The process begins with Wibbitz's technology digesting the article via algorithms meant to emulate a human reader's behavior, identifying key people, main points and the theme, resulting in a summary of about 20% of the full article.

iSpot.tv, which monitors ads in over 100 national TV networks and then correlates real-time digital actions such search, social and video viewing, has raised a $21.9 million series B round, led by Insight Venture Partners, with participation from existing investor, Madrona Venture Group. The new funds will be used for product development and increased staff.
In a world where ads are everywhere, with TV viewing becoming more fragmented, and viewers distracted by mobile devices, iSpot.tv's value to advertisers is that it helps them understand the TOTAL impact of their TV ads, including "earned" subsequent digital actions.

I'm pleased to present the 273rd edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia.
Since Verizon announced it was acquiring AOL for $4.4 billion earlier this week, there has been a ton of media coverage, with lots of speculation about what the deal means for Verizon going forward. This is at least partly due to the companies doing a relatively poor job of articulating the deal's strategy.
In this week's podcast, Colin and I weigh in as well, focusing mainly on how AOL's video, programmatic and video syndication assets could mesh well with Verizon Digital Media Services, which already provides back-end delivery and monetization to video content providers (see here and here). Combining the two seems like the biggest point of leverage to Colin and me, yet we note that Verizon didn't even mention a VDMS role in any public comments on the deal.
Meanwhile, in a week when the pay-TV industry suffered its first-ever first quarter loss of video subscribers, we also discuss how Verizon seems intent on innovating beyond the traditional multichannel bundle.

Verizon's surprise $4.4 billion acquisition of AOL, looks like mostly a bet on video, mobile, and programmatic, with content likely the odd man out.
The deal gives Verizon a bigger play in 3 of the biggest trends in the media business - the explosion of personalized, on-demand video viewership, the massive adoption of mobile lifestyles via smartphones, and the shift to automated, data-driven ad buying through programmatic platforms. AOL has been pursuing all of these over the past few years through internal growth and acquisitions.

On last Friday's podcast, Colin and I discussed the failure of the $45 billion Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger. I asserted that a key reason the deal didn't get approved was due to the rise in customer experience expectations. Today I'm going to flesh that out further, and describe why customer experience is becoming key to defining the video industry's winners and losers.
First, it's important to understand that the traditional notion of "customer service" has been supplanted by the far broader concept of "customer experience" - the TOTAL perception of ALL of our touchpoints with any company we do business with. Because we now live in an unprecedented time for humanity - when everything we need or want is just a handful of clicks away, anytime we choose, the bar has never been higher for our expectations of customer experience.

I'm pleased to present the 271st edition of the VideoNuze podcast with my weekly partner Colin Dixon of nScreenMedia.
We had recorded last week's podcast just prior to the news that Comcast was dropping its merger bid for Time Warner Cable, so first up this week we share thoughts on why the deal collapsed.
In my view, the perception of the deal transformed from being cable-centric to being broadband-centric, largely due to the rise of online video usage. As a result, Comcast, post-merger, having 57% of American broadband connections under the new 25 mbps definition, became a sticking point (never mind that it actually has 56% on its own, reflecting its aggressive broadband infrastructure upgrades).
This is a key irony of the deal's failure - Comcast has invested billions in technology, but its woeful customer service ultimately undermines these investments and defines its reputation. In a hypothetical world where Comcast was a "most admired company," (like Apple, Amazon, etc.), I think it's quite possible regulators would have actually welcomed the Time Warner deal.
We then turn our attention to Verizon's "Custom TV" packaging and ESPN's lawsuit. As I explained in Has Verizon Put ESPN Into a Public Relations Headlock Over Opaque "Sports Tax?" I think Verizon is making a brazen move to reign in sports costs. Colin and I agree it's the most startling thing yet to happen in a tumultuous year for the pay-TV industry.

European broadcaster RTL Group led the round, with participation from prior investors. RTL has become a very active investor in U.S. online video and technology companies, buying a 51% stake in multichannel network BroadbandTV for $36 million in June, 2013, a 65% stake in programmatic video ad platform SpotXchange for $144 million in July, 2014 and acquiring fashion and beauty MCN StyleHaul for $107 million in November, 2014.

Boston-based YouTube ad buying platform Pixability has raised an $18 million Series C round, led by new investors Jump Capital and Edison Partners, with participation from existing investors. The new funds will be used for product development and international expansion. The company has raised $28 million to date.
Pixability's core capability is enabling brands and agencies to create and manage data-driven video ad campaigns targeting specific audiences within YouTube channels. This is extremely valuable because while YouTube's massive user base is very attractive to brands and agencies, the site's diverse content makes it virtually impossible to understand how to optimize YouTube ad spending.

On July 1, 2015, RockTenn CP, LLC, Rock-Tenn Converting Company and MeadWestvaco Virginia Corporation as borrowers, entered into a credit agreement (the Farm Loan Credit Agreement) with CoBank ACB (CoBank), as administrative agent. The Farm Loan Credit Agreement provides for a seven-year senior unsecured term loan in an aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000 (the Farm Credit Facility). The proceeds from the Farm Credit Facility will be used by the borrowers under the facility to finance (or refinance) investments made by the borrowers that satisfy both of the following criteria: such investments are (or were) made in order to allow existing mills to utilize waste and waste product (including mixed paper post-consumer materials and old corrugated containers) as inputs for their operations or generate electric power from renewable energy sources (namely, energy conversion systems fueled by biomass) and to use the renewable power generated by the mills for their operations and such investments are (or were) made in mills that are located in rural areas with populations of no more than 20,000. The Farm Credit Facility is unsecured and, as of July 1, 2015, is guaranteed by the company, WestRock and RockTenn.
RockTenn CP, LLC (Smurfit-Stone) will pay $20,000 and furnish other relief to resolve a discrimination lawsuit filed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). According to the EEOC's complaint filed on June 27, 2013, Darren Fraley was hired by Smurfit-Stone as a third shift production supervisor on August 25, 2008. In February 2009, Fraley was hospitalized with a severe back condition. On February 17, 2009, Fraley informed Smurfit-Stone's senior human resources clerk that he had been hospitalized, was under a doctor's care and would require back surgery. Because of his short tenure at the company, Fraley was not eligible for disability leave. However, Fraley was erroneously placed on short term disability, effective February 2009. From February 2009 through July 2009, Fraley kept the HR clerk informed about his prognosis, condition, and return-to-work status. The EEOC further alleged that on July 29, 2009, the HR clerk contacted Fraley and informed him that he had been mistakenly placed on short term disability for which he was ineligible and that he was being terminated effective August 1, 2009. Fraley objected to the termination and told the HR clerk that he was scheduled to be released to return to work the following week. On August 3, 2009, Fraley's doctor released him to return to work without restrictions, effective August 4, 2009. Smurfit-Stone refused to allow Fraley leave as a reasonable accommodation for his disability for the period from around July 29, 2009 until he was released to return to work around August 4, 2009. Rather, the company discharged Fraley because he could not return to work because of his disability. Such alleged conduct violates the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which protects employees and applicants from discrimination based on their disabilities and requires employers to provide disabled employees with reasonable accommodations. The EEOC filed suit in the U.S. District Court for the District of South Carolina, Florence Division (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. RockTenn CP, LLC f/k/a Smurfit-Stone Container Corporation; Civil Action No. 4:13-CV-01759-BHH) after first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement. In addition to monetary damages, the one-year consent decree resolving the lawsuit requires RockTenn to, among other things, conduct training on the requirements of the ADA and the interrelationship between the ADA and other types of leave; distribute and maintain its formal, written anti-discrimination policy; and post a copy of its anti-discrimination policy at its facility in Latta, S.C. Defendant must also post an employee notice about the lawsuit at the Latta facility.

Still Winning: All Saints' Fulmer Continues Success at Vandy
Published: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 10:28 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, May 21, 2013 at 10:28 p.m.
Just about everything has changed for Carson Fulmer.
The atmosphere, the people, the landscape -- even his place on the pitching staff -- they're all different.
The only thing that hasn't changed is Fulmer's success.
While at All Saints' Academy, Fulmer helped lead the Saints to the FHSAA Class 2A baseball state semifinals in 2012 and three consecutive district championships. He was named the Class 2A player of the year and was chosen for the 18-under Team USA squad.
Fulmer has continued that success as a freshman on the No. 1-ranked Vanderbilt baseball team.
The Commodores won the regular-season Southeastern Conference title in record fashion, winning the most SEC games in regular-season history (26) as they finished the year 48-7 and with the No. 1 SEC Tournament seed. The Commodores will begin play at 5:30 p.m. today against the winner of No. 8 Florida and No. 9 Texas A&M in Hoover, Ala.
"It's good," Fulmer said. "We're really excited but it's something that we don't pay much attention to. We have a long season ahead and a lot of things left to accomplish. We're ready to keep going."
One of the many changes Fulmer had to adjust to is his role. Instead of a starter with dominating pitches, Fulmer is now a reliever with the same dominating stuff.
Fulmer has appeared in 23 games and has a 3.08 ERA. His lone win came against Georgia on April 21, and he's picked up four saves. Opponents are hitting just .221 against him, and he's allowed 13 earned runs in 38 innings and has 40 strikeouts.
Whether he's starting or relieving, Fulmer has the same mentality.
"I'll treat any situation as the same," he said. "My mentality will never change. It's something that I've always had."
Rick Moser, Fulmer's former coach at All Saints, had the chance to see his former star during the weekend and still sees the same things he saw from Fulmer at All Saints.
"It's whatever they need him to do," Moser said. "He always puts the team first."
Fulmer has adjusted well to his role change and the change of atmosphere.
Playing at SEC powers like South Carolina, LSU and Florida can be daunting even for a seasoned senior, much less a raw freshman.
"Getting used to the crowds (was big)," Fulmer said of his biggest adjustment to Vanderbilt. "Getting my feet wet and experience. I never really experienced something like that before, It was eye-opening and humbling."
Fulmer credits the upperclassmen with helping him adjust to other aspects of college athletics.
"When our freshman class got here, the older guys took us underneath their wing and made us feel welcome," Fulmer said. "That's huge for freshmen."
What's bigger is what might be on the horizon for both the Commodores and for Fulmer.
Vanderbilt is a lock to receive a bid, to the NCAA Regionals, either as an at-large or as SEC Tournament champion.
"This team I'm on is one of a kind," Fulmer said. "We come to the field every day and surround ourselves with each other. It carries onto the field. We trust each other so much, all of our bonding and the stuff we've done, it's really helped us. We can take on anyone that comes our way. It's been a lot of fun."
As a freshman at a four-year university, Fulmer is ineligible for the MLB Draft in early June. But he says he is dedicated to helping his team have the best year they can.
"I haven't paid much attention to the draft," he said. "I know I made the right decision to come to Vandy. It's taught me a lot of lessons on and off the field ... in academics and in baseball. It's a win-win situation. The draft is way out of my hands to begin with. I'm not paying attention to it. My main focus is winning."
And winning is exactly what Fulmer's been doing for quite some time.

Two weeks ago I installed OSX 10.8 on my Mac mini. After that, my system started to hang a lot, so I tried to erase it and install OSX 10.7 again. I used carbon Copy Cloner to make the bootable USB and it can load successfully on another Macbook. However, on my Mac mini, when I press on the option button to select the USB, it loads the white screen with a ban symbol at the center of the screen. After a moment, my machine automatically shuts down. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Edit: this is exactly the problem I have now http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-1207168.html
Update 1: the hdd seems ok (from disk utility). I restored the booting partition by disk utility (drag the dmg file to that partition). After restarting and using that partition to boot, prohibited symbol is still there
Update 2: This is my disk utility
I tried to erase the booting partition again and then, got the kernel panic (cpu 2 caller bla bla bla ). This is so ridiculus when I have a thing called "bootable" usb but cannot do anything to save the system. After the panic, my mac sounds 3 beeps in a row continuosly. I turned off the power after all.

text: Posted August 28, 2012 Yeah, he runs an internet forum that you use for e-drama. I don't follow Zod blindly and have butted heads w/ him in the past but I challenge you to find a better outlet to get your Panthers fix. That whole "you're an internet forum nerd" or "get out of your mom's basement" or "go get laid" is so played out. It's a crutch for people to use when they are losing an argument. It's the 21st century bro - social media runs the world. youre trying too hard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really love the BETTER TAG CLOUD, however, one thing that is bothering me is this. I have it displayed as a list and it shows the result like this:
Is it possible to have a blank space between the tag name and the count? Like this:
Food (3)
Drinks (4)
Is this somehow possible?
