Artists needed for Hodags on Parade
Submitted: 03/08/2014
Play Video
- Local businesses need the community's support to stay open.
But if people don't know about them, they won't shop there.
Members of Downtown Rhinelander, Inc. hope to draw more people to the downtown area by showcasing Hodags.
This summer will mark the 6th year of Hodags on Parade.
Even though summer is months away, DRI needs to find artists to start painting six Hodags.
"They can be individuals. They can be groups. They can be schools. [We need them to] just get their creativity going and submit designs. And then those designs, if chosen, will be painted on our Hodags," said Hodags on Parade Chairperson Kathy Brich.
Those Hodags will go on display Memorial Day weekend.
They'll then be auctioned off in October.
Artists get a stipend of $60 for art materials.
They also get 10% of the sale of the Hodag.
The auction brings in as much as $8,000 each year.
"The money raised goes to all the different events and activities that Downtown Rhinelander sponsors...Our goal is to bring people downtown, to get people to recognize the downtown area. And everyone loves the Hodags," Brich explained.
People love seeing the Hodags so much that DRI saved three of the painted ones from last year.
They'll be displayed at downtown businesses during the next few months, and will also go up for auction in October.
Organizers are also looking for event sponsors.
You can find a link to DRI's website below.

Indoor soccer tournament raises money for high school soccer teams
Submitted: 03/08/2014
Play Video
- Soccer players may need to wait for the snow on their fields to melt. But they know cabin fever is starting to set in, and it's the perfect time to capitalize on it.
The 7th annual Cabin Fever Indoor Soccer Tournament kicked off today at Northland Pines High School. The event raises money for the school�s boy's and girl's soccer teams.
"This was an opportunity to have an indoor soccer program so the kids can do something in the winter," says tournament director Steve Gilbert. "There was a need for a fundraiser so we thought why not have a tournament. There are other tournaments in the region, why not have one here with this tremendous facility that we have here at Pines."
Nearly 100 5th through 8th graders played in the co-ed soccer matches. Their participation makes it possible for the team to buy new equipment.
"It allows us to buy things that maybe the school can't afford to buy for them, so different types of warm-ups, equipment out on the field," says Gilbert. "One time we bought a camera for them so we could film their games. So it's going to good causes."
Organizers hoped to raise as much as $2,000.

Attorney general candidates differ on enforcing and defending Wisc. laws
Submitted: 03/07/2014
Play Video
- Wisconsin�s attorney general enforces and defends laws made by the state, but one of Wisconsin�s candidates for the position believes his opponents will only pick and choose.
Right now Republican Candidate Brad Schimel, Waukesha County district attorney, faces three Democrats, Rep. Jon Richards, Susan Happ and Ismael Ozanne. Richards represents a portion of Milwaukee in the State Assymbly. Happ is the Jefferson County District Attorney. Ozanne is the Dane County District Attorney.
Schimel says some of his opponents, especially Richard will only enforce laws they agree with.
"That's problematic and I believe that's not what the attorney general should be doing, that's a crusade, that's a policy maker," Schimel said. "If Rep. Richards wants to do that then he should stay in the legislature."
Richards has been in the Legislature since 1998.
Newswatch 12 asked him Friday if he would pick and choose laws to enforce.
He said he�d look at the constitution to determine how he would enforce laws in Wisconsin.
"I can grantee you there are plenty of laws that I voted against that I will end up enforcing and making sure that we implement," Richards said, "And there are some laws that I think clearly violate the U-S constitution or the state constitution and we'll be taking a hard look at those."
Democratic candidates Susan Happ and Ismael Ozanne were not available before running this story.
Richards was touring the Northwoods Friday talking to media and district attorneys in the area.
The Democratic primary is set for August 12th. Election day is Nov. 4, 2014.

- A Fitchburg man accused of supplying the heroin that killed a teenager in 2012 has been sentenced to seven years in prison.
Twenty-three-year-old Milton Moore pleaded no contest Thursday to first-degree reckless homicide by delivery of drugs.
After his prison term, Moore will be on extended supervision for seven years.
The Portage Daily Register (http://bit.ly/1gYNEyA) reports Moore apologized to the family of the victim, 17-year-old Jacob Adler of Lodi (LOH'-deye).
Adler's mother, Shelly Johnson, says she hopes her son's story might save other lives.
Moore's co-defendant, 20-year-old Lars Atkinson of Lodi, was sentenced in October to 5 { years in prison and 5 { years on extended supervision.
According to the complaint, Atkinson told police he and Adler purchased the heroin in Madison, giving Moore $75 for half a gram.

Best Free Antivirus Software
Other Language?
Read this article in Spanish |
Read this article in Chinese |
In a Hurry?
Go straight to the Quick Selection Guide |
Antivirus software provides an essential layer of protection from a multitude of virus, trojan, worm, spyware, adware, dialer, keylogger and rootkit infections. Traditionally antivirus programs just detected viruses and spyware removers just detected spyware but nowadays the boundary between antivirus and spyware removers is unclear. Most current antiviruses have at least reasonably good detection rates of all forms of malware. Malware includes viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, adware, dialers, keyloggers and rootkit threats that perform malicious activities on a computer. With the huge increase in malware, antivirus software cannot keep up with detecting all of it. Despite vendor's claims, no single antivirus solution, or indeed any one security software, can be relied upon for total protection without safe surfing and computing practices. But using more than one real-time antivirus uses much more system resources, can cause conflicts and even reduce protection. So I recommend you only choose one antivirus for real-time protection. Instead, you can increase your protection using other security software; for more information check out our Security Wizard. I looked at several free antivirus programs which are vital in protecting your computer from virus threats and other types of malware. |
Avast! Free Antivirus is my new top pick for the best free antivirus software in light of recent developments. Avast has steadily been improving its detection rates over the past few years and now ranks with the some of the best. Avast has the most features of all the free antivirus with full real-time capabilities including web, e-mail, IM, P2P and network shields, boot-time scanning, and a behavioral blocker. Version 6 brought even more features including an internet site ratings plugin, script malware protection and a limited (non-configurable) sandboxing feature. It's arguable whether their ratings plugin offers comparable levels to WOT, but the script malware protection can prevent certain browser exploits, a feature not available in any of the other free AV's. Although the sandbox is a very useful semi-automated security feature, the default settings involves a pop up to ask whether a software should be sandboxed for not - for the typical average user this can be slightly confusing though it can set to sandbox the software automatically. Avast is also relatively light on resources. Note that Avast requires a free registration to function after 30 days, and the default installation installs the Chrome browser. Panda Cloud Antivirus is Panda's successful attempt to jump on the free antivirus bandwagon. Along with MSE, it is an excellent choice for average users with a simple interface and completely automated features with automatic updating and removal of malware. The detection level is generally very high. PCA uses 'cloud' technology to provide for a much quicker release of updates as all definitions are stored in the cloud and thus the moment Panda updates their blacklist all users of PCA with an internet connection are protected from it. Panda Cloud Antivirus has a behavioral blocker and web protection, which will certainly increase your security. However as you can simply use one of the other free AV's with a separate behavioral blocker (for further details see our Security Wizard) to achieve possibly even better protection, this is not necessarily an advantage. One minor reservation I have is that PCA seems to erroneously detect certain browser/system-related applications, for example VideoCacheView, and because of the automatic quarantine this made it a fraction bothersome. Avira AntiVir Personal Edition is another high quality free antivirus, and formerly the Top Pick. AntiVir is still a top notch antivirus scanner with outstanding detection rates of malware, higher than almost every other antivirus according to tests. AntiVir is still a good choice for a free antivirus scanner, particularly for high risk users. However, there is a minor drawback. First, AntiVir does not include web or e-mail scanning capabilities; this is only available in the paid version. The lack of an e-mail scanner is not a disadvantage, it just means that AntiVir won't warn you of infected emails before you open them. But should you open an infected email, AntiVir will still spring into action, so it doesn't mean that you're not protected from email-based infections. AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is also a decent choice for a free antivirus. Although this venerable antivirus has had some shaky results in detection in the recent past, it now offers a high level of protection. This is probably due to the inclusion of a fully-fledged behavioral blocker that is the "Identity Protection" protection. This provides a very important additional layer of protection, on the other hand though a similar protection level can be achieved by using one of the free antivirus above alongside a separate behavioral blocker. Unfortunately AVG free has grown considerably in size, has very slow scan speeds and also advertisements (but they can be disabled). Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition is a recently released free version of the popular commercial antivirus. This minimalistic and user friendly AV offers a user friendly solution for those who don't wish to tinker around with settings or deal with intrusive popups. The engine is the same as the commercial product and offers excellent protection. Indeed Bitdefender's on-demand protection is one of the best, right up there with AntiVir. The user interface is clean and uncluttered, though more advanced users may be frustrated at the lack of customization. Some users may have qualms with Bitdefender as various bugs and issues are seen quite frequently at the moment, which will hopefully get ironed out as it develops further. Also, a small complaint is that Bitdefender seems to have an incompatibility with CCleaner on my computer. These free antivirus programs are excellent software that provide a real alternative to the major commercial antivirus products. Please help us by rating this review |

Things can (and do) change quite fast in the world of security.
Avast is no longer the solution it once was, and there are far too many problems with AVG8.
Because it does one thing very well, Avira is the way to go !
Until of course, something better comes along !
Test Jon, then research the Intertubes, and finally, listen to your posters. One day you may be rewarded for that work. Nice to hear from you Peter.
Dr. Jeffrey Brown
IT Security Specialist
thanks a lot for the reply davy. Yeah that suite was draining me badly, but I've since ditched it for my current protection that was listed. I'm kinda sure there is infection due to the slowness of my computer, but it could just be the resources. I'll definitely consider the gig upgrade on my RAM..there's so much information here and I know experienced people can lead me to the best way possible to secure this system. I think i'm looking for a layered suite that's ideal for this computer.
I recently installed Comodo Internet Security in a computer that had no internet connection trying to install only the firewall, which I've used for a long time as it is a great product. So I find out about the new internet security suite and decide to give it a full go, since you can opt to leave out the antivirus installation. It has worked well so far, running side by side with AVG8. I know about the issues of having two AV, but the computer was clean so no problems have surfaced by having the two AV running together. The only thing that bothers me about Comodo Antivirus (besides the fact that it has a bad detection rate), is that in the five minutes playing with it while configuring the firewall I realized that by default it won't scan any files larger than 20Mb, both the realtime access and on demand. It's major flaw IMHO. You can however change this in the on demand scan but up to 99MB, so it still won´t scan files larger than that. Please, correct me/repost if I'm wrong. Anyway, like I said, didn't play long enough with it.... just to setup the firewall.
You have alot of software installed, now if your running slow you might want to make sure that not everything is running in the back ground, even alot of smaller programs running can slow you down. Especially with Dell and HP you get alot of programs that run in the background by default and most of them are practically useless or crippled in some way or another. You could run PC Decrapifier to clean up some of that stuff, but then you might also want a start up manager to stop a few of the processes from running (ie the dell update services). And most of the protection software you have listed can be run on demand instead of having them running in the background or in the toolbar like SAS, MBAM, SpywareBlaster CCleaner and Comodo Registry Cleaner. So make sure that those don't start up when you start up your computer cause those are all on demand programs without any real time protection. Although, I might be mistaken with SpywareBlaster. As for MRU-Blaster, EULAnalyzer and TCPOptomizer I'm unfamiliar with them so I'm not sure if they should be running, hopefully someone else can help with that.
Dr. Jeffrey Brown has shares in Avira.
Avast scores very highly in all independant tests, so your comment that it is third rate is laughable.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Phil McAvity
Oh yeah, Comodo is stating that BOClean is going to eventually become a part of CIS as well.
Ok here is the replys from the comodo forums.
Brass tacks here Jon.. Comparitives are faulty most of the time for several reasons. They only test specific detection rates but do not decompile the heuristics to report how or why a product passes or fails a test. There are many things comparitives do not and cannot measure including but not limited to repair success. Comparitives are dated and so are the test subjects. The products are usually several versions old and most comparitive tests are at least 6 months in between. There are several other problems with comparitives I don't have time to discuss in full here. To do this right Jon, you must consider your must have's, and would be nice's.
Must have's:
Security background with education and credentials.
Industry liaisons, designers, compilers, decompilers, even a visit to a product forum to ask a question of their product or their competitors, and even "Hey how bout a beer and some talk, and not ruling out professors here too.
Would be nice's: (but almost a must have)
Resources and staff with live source code to test your products and methodologies.
Again Jon, I don't work here anymore so I can't advise you other to say consult with Ian. You might delete the offending post "pretending to suggest tools for use to another poster in this forum." I made no such comments.
Thank you,
Jeffrey Brown

Dr. Phil McAvity,
I have shares in many things. You might read on in this forum and others like it about the ongoing Avast issues that remain unsolved by Alwil. I've clients that ask "does Avast send me false positive code in updates?" I'll simply refer to another Dr. Phil on this site called Alien IP that Avast can't even scan nor ignore without flashing lights and sirens (That's a feature I won't even indulge you in Dr. that this product has that scares the shit out of most first time users).
Please Dr. download and try Avast on Alien IP and watch as Avast destroys Alien IP. It's only one example of this poor performer, but many other Avast users are destroying their safe programs because Avast says to. For now I'll take you at your word your actually a Dr. and have the certs in this field, otherwise I'll just refer you on to this:
Dr. Jeffrey Brown in IT and CS (since we're all hanging it out)
IT Security Specialist
Dr. Jeffrey Brown,
You post a link where someone notices a false positive and the Alwil team responds and fixes it within hours.
Yes very third rate that isn't it!
Dr. Phil McAvity in IT and Gynaecology
I am using avast along with lot of my friends and I never felt a need to go for some thing else.This is one among my essential handpicked softwares. www.freewarepick.blogspot.com
I believe it's still being decided.
Like most liberals you skirted my invite to test Avast against a safe program on this site called Alien IP and like most lib weenies you shot your load before bringing any truth to the discussion. I doubt you have a PHD in IT since your a medical doctor as well. I think it's safe to say you do not know what you're talking about here since you also have not quoted Avast as having one of the highest FP rates in all of AV history. I think we've now separated the wheat from the chafe here.
IT bla, bla, bla and tons of shingles I'm sure you have too.
Ian, you once had a kind and meaningful site when you ran it yourself. It seems now this has all changed and is outside your reach to correct, so I bid you, your guests here, and Jon a final ado. Please find your own AV answers and solutions to "believe in." I don't get paid to put up with this crap on any site.
Thanks Duskao, I really appreciate the reply and advice....I think it goes hand-in-hand with what Davy advised as far as memory, too. I'll definitely do what you proposed and see what it does for my system. What's your suggestion for extra removal power for spyware, adware, trojans, ect.? Should I just stick with what I have or add some other software?? Also, have suggestions for a layered suite (best possible for my system)...I'd really appreciated it greatly!!!
Thanx a billion,
God Bless!
Honestly, I'm no expert by any means, but I would consider myself a computer enthusiast, and most of my experience is from trial and error. Thats just an FYI. But I don't think you really need to change anything, by the sounds of it you have everything covered. As far a layered suites... most of the free ones kinda stink at the moment or have alot of extra stuff in them that isn't needed (adware), so what you have is probably better for the time being. As for your removal power for the spyware, adware and such, you already have two fo the best programs out there for it. SAS and MBAM. Now the best thing you can do is surf with care and regular maintenance of your comp ie. defragging, uninstalling unused programs (unless they are important) and cleaning up unused files and duplicated files (most of which is done with decent cleanup software. Oh, and don't forget to defrag your registries, and make sure not to go overboard with cleaning up registries and always set a system restore before doing anything with registries or you could cause more problems then it's worth. Oh, and since you have fairly low RAM for now-a-days you might want to run a program called "CleanMem" I found it here on this site a little while ago and it runs so that you don't even know it's there, completly unintrusive, and seems to do a better job at optimizing memory then any of the others I have tried. It seems to reallocate the ram leaked by the operating system instead of trying to free up ram that is being used by programs, but that is purly theory on my part, none the less it seems to work. Alright, it's late and I'm sure I'm rambling like I often do so I bid you fare well and good luck.
Oh, however, if you really want to try a "suite" that seems to have almost everying, this is something that I'm evaluating right now. Comodo Internet Security (CIS). But I must warn you, it does use the Comodo AV scanner which is only sub-par, however it seems to be quite lite on system resources (generally about 5000K while idle, 10000-20000 while scanning) on my PC and is very fast scanning (on my PC). But if you do decide to give it a try make sure to do a few on demand scans (Kaspersky, BitDefencer, Trend Micro ect)fairly regularly just to make sure that something isn't/hasn't slipped by. But if not you are probably as protected as you can be without being overly paranoid and crippeling you system with malware protetion. Once again.... G'Night!
Avira AntiVir Personal Edition with silent updates turned on and splash screen turned off - almost ideal software.
Yep, I agree, tweaking Antivir like that makes it a sort of unnoficial upgrade. Better than free & shareware versions.
Just an aside comment about avg.
A curious problem I had with avg (a couple of years ago now). Was reinstalling (at that time) windows 2k, installed OS, drivers , . . , rebooting as requested, then avg antivirus, reboot - windows wouldn't start. Couldn't do a thing, tried repair ect, could boot safe mode but couldn't find problem. Gave up, started again, same place, same result.
Tried the original windows cd (not slipstreamed with SP 4), all OK, even after avg. Download SP4, still OK. Went to disable WFP (patched sfc.dll); A-HA: windows would not boot.
Anyway, fixed the problem; not by putting WFP back, but by tossing avg and going with avast. (Earlier avg versions worked, started about I think v7.??)
Shame avg is broken, now used to avast so wouldn't go back without good reason.
I think AVIRA is the best!!! Because it very light and fast. It doesn't slow the PC.
My XP Pro SP2 has never had this problem, Or my Vista SP 0, or my XP Home SP2, or my other XP PRO SP2,
Also, that sounds like explorer.exe isn't loading after avast has been installed
hmm, when I last checked what people and testing companies say about avast's detection rate, I saw 95%, also avast comes with a web shield and free support, the only software I've noticed that have a web shield were Kaspersky and Avast, I just use avast on every computer because it works perfectly

Mountain Coal Company will be designing, providing the materials and setting up the event, and the Rotary Club of the North Fork Valley will be timing and judging the contest.
Teams of two will shovel one ton of West Elk Mine's "super-compliant" coal from one bin to another with the fastest team winning half of the entire entry fee pot of money. The other half will be donated to the Rotary Club's scholarship fund.
The winning team will also receive a "traveling" trophy that will have their names engraved on it, and then next year will be passed on to the next winning team.
The more teams that enter, the higher the amount of money in the entry fee pot to benefit the winners and the scholarship fund. So get your team of two together and encourage your friends and neighbors to join in the contest, too!
Send a note with the two participant names, including an optional team name, and your $40.00 entry fee (half is tax deductible!) to Jackie Parks, 12472 – 3700 Road, Hotchkiss, CO 81419. Checks should be made out to Rotary Club of the North Fork Valley Foundation. Call Parks at 527-4585 with any questions.

Professor Richard Hudson
Emeritus Professor of Linguistics |
Research Interests
His main area of research is Word Grammar, which embraces all of language (syntax, morphology, semantics and maybe even phonology) and integrates it with general cognition. It has implications for theories of social variation, the psychology of language processing, acquisition (i.e. learning) and even language teaching. He is interested in developing all these areas of theory, but even more interested in applying the theory to description. He also has a strong non-research interest in disseminating linguistics through the schools.

Dell investors question executive compensation
If Dell's stock has gone down, why does it look like the overall compensation of the company's executive team gone up this year?
That was the most contentious question raised at Dell's annual shareholder meeting, held Friday morning at the Austin Convention Center. An investor who didn't identify himself asked politely why, when gross margins, operating margins, earnings per share, and market share had declined in 2009, it looked as if executives were getting more in return.
"Shareholders who held stock for 12 months lost half their money," the man said from the Austin, … Read more

It's somewhat late, but I hope you think this is worth the wait. I put in my opinion on all of the first round picks of this year's draft. KP was nice enough to help me out and voice her opinion as well.
1. Miami Dolphins - Jake Long, OT, Michigan
The Dolphins signed Long a few days before the draft and he is already the highest paid offensive lineman in the entire league. Anyways, I agree and disagree with this pick. Long is an absolute beast and he will be a great tackle for years to come. However, I don't think their quarterback situation is very good at the moment. I find it hard to believe that John Beck is the future of this organization and Chad Henne may be good, but I don't see him as a franchise quarterback. Matt Ryan could have been a good pick for them. If I was Bill Parcells I would have drafted Matt Ryan and put together a package with Jason Taylor and a pick or two for a first rounder to nab an offensive lineman to protect him, like the Falcons did. Anyways, Jake Long will provide space to throw and space to run and will benefit their team greatly. Your team can't succeed without a good offensive line, but it can't without a good quarterback either.
Pick Grade: 9.7
Player Grade: 9.8
I'm going out on a limb here. I think this was an excellent pick for Miami. Given the caliber of QB's in the draft, you can't waste a top pick on it. Not this year anyway. Jake Long has the opportunity to bring in some much needed offensive help. No, he won't win games. He won't be the "reason" they win games. That's not his job. No, the Dolphins won't all of a sudden jettison to the top of the AFC East. This is a long rebuilding process for Miami. Even the most ardent of Miami fans know that this is a few years from fruition. Parcells has made some significant improvements. Long will be in Miami for the entire rebuild and as long as he doesn't become disenchanted, he has a chance down the road to be with a viable AFC contender.
Pick Grade: 9.8
Player Grade: 9.8
2. Saint Louis Rams - Chris Long, DE, Virginia
Chris didn't have to wait "Long" for his name to be called (I know, bad and overused pun). I like this pick. Many believe they should have gone with Dorsey, however, with Adam Carriker now moving to defensive tackle from defensive end Dorsey no longer fulfilled a team need. Chris Long did. The Dorsey/Carriker combo could have been one of the best young defensive tackle pairs in the league, but now the Rams have a good player inside and another one outside. Chris Long is a good run stuffer and he can reach the quarterback too. His motor never stops, never. He is also athletic. His athleticism isn't praised enough. He has speed and he can jump. Even more impressive are his instincts. He can always locate the ball and when he sees it he knows exactly what to do instantly.
Pick Grade: 9.5
Player Grade: 9.7
I love this pick. Chris never ever gives up on the play. He's worth every penny.
Pick Grade: 9.7
Player Grade: 9.6
3. Atlanta Falcons - Matt Ryan, QB, Boston College
Ryan is the best quarterback in this years draft and the only franchise quarterback. The Falcons covered a huge need here and they replaced the face of Mike Vick at the same time. Unfortunately, this is a mammoth role for Ryan to take on and I have a feeling not all Falcons fans are over Mike Vick. Either way, this was a great pick. I thought that they would take Dorsey here based on Dimitroff's backgrounds, but I was wrong. Matt is a great leader and he can become the face of this franchise. He clearly isn't as mobile as Vick was, but he can definitely gain time in the pocket. He is a far better passer than Vick. The Falcons have a lot of needs and luckily for Ryan they drafted an offensive lineman to protect him. Surround this guy with talent and the Falcons will improve greatly.
Pick Grade: 9.8
Player Grade: 9.4
OK. A lot of people think this is a bust. I don't. Much like Rodgers in Green Bay, Ryan will be expected to produce right from the start. I think that's the biggest problem here. I like Matt Ryan. Living in MA, we see a lot of BC games broadcast locally. I knew Atlanta would take him. They didn't have a choice. You need to start somewhere and clean cut fresh faced QB like Matt Ryan from a nice Jesuit school is just what the Falcons need to slap a fresh coat of paint on a very weather beaten and tarnished image. He's not a runner, put he has good pocket presence. Yes, I know. He threw a lot of interceptions but in his defense, his receiving corp was awful (and that's being generous) and BC put the ball in the air a whole lot more than they did in past seasons.
Pick Grade 9.8
Player Grade 9.6
4. Oakland Raiders - Darren McFadden, RB, Arkansas
I understand that McFadden is hard for any team to pass up and he will most likely be a great player, but why would the Raiders take him? The Raiders have Justin Fargas, LaMont Jordan, and Dominic Rhodes. These three are all decent to above average running backs. Therefore the running back position was not a need at all. Since the 2004 NFL Draft the Raiders latest pick was seventh so they clearly have some glaring needs. For some reason they choose not to fill those. Their division can obviously run the ball, the Chargers have LaDainian Tomlinson, the Broncos have a great history of backs, and the Chiefs have Larry Johnson. Because of this they should have drafted Glenn Dorsey. Dorsey could have filled the whole Warren Sapp left by retiring and he can help stop these teams' rushing attacks.
Pick Grade: 8.3
Player Grade: 9.8
This to me was a stupid pick by Al Davis. Not that McFadden won't be a dominant RB in the league, but I agree with my friend Ey'. The Raiders needs were not addressed with this pick. I have no idea as to why they picked him other than to help ticket sales. So what if you lose 12 games? You end up with a RB who people want to see, and you make money. I saw a blurb in a national news site that said McFadden jerseys are already backlogged. So the marketing geniuses guessed right. It's a win/win for Davis and McFadden. It's a lose/lose for the team.
Pick Grade: 7.5
Player Grade: 9.7
5. Kansas City Chiefs - Glenn Dorsey, DT, LSU
Great pick and a great draft by the Chiefs too. The Chiefs are in the same division as the Raiders so they could definitely use a powerful run stopper. Luckily for them Dorsey dropped to five. The Chiefs are currently in the rebuilding process and this is a very good way to start. They traded Jared Allen so defensive end was a need, but no defensive end was worthy of this spot, let alone above Glenn Dorsey. Dorsey will be an every down player and despite some durability concerns he was a smart pick. The Chief's run defense was twenty-eighth in the entire league; that is terrible. Hopefully Dorsey will move them up far in that category.
Pick Grade: 9.8
Player Grade: 9.7
A superb pick by the Chiefs. They addressed a pressing need and that shows smart drafting skills. Why the Raiders didn't take Dorsey is anyone's guess. I'm betting Raiders fans are asking that same question.
Pick Grade: 9.8
Player Grade: 9.8
6. New York Jets - Vernon Gholston , DE /OLB, Ohio State
I admit that this was a smart pick to fulfill the Jet's need of a pass rusher, but I am not a fan of Gholston. Like many of the analysts on sports shows have said Gholston is not consistent and he doesn't play every down. I heard one person say "When you're that good at the college level you get bored and you sit out plays." If that is true why didn't Glenn Dorsey take plays off? Or Chris Long? Anyways, Gholston could have a good career, especially a good rookie season because he is lining up opposite of Calvin Pace. Smart pick, but I'm not a big fan of the player.
Pick Grade: 9.3
Player Grade: 8.8
I like Vernon and I think he has great potential. The only problem, well two problems is that 1) he can be very hmm... lazy? I'm not sure the ethic or the desire is present all the time. 2) He's with the Jets. The Jets had a number of needs to be addressed, hey, like maybe QB, and chose not to do that route. No offense to Jet fans, but the Jets team in general seems a bit lazy at times. Or maybe just confused. They need a leader on that team and I'm not convinced Gholston can do it. Overall, I like the kid and IF the Jets can get him focused, he could be a tremendous asset. Just get him focused.
Pick Grade: 9.4
Player Grade: 9.5
7. New Orleans Saints (trade with New England Patriots) - Sedrick Ellis, DT, USC
I am a big fan of Ellis, as I am of this pick. The Saints could basically use help everywhere on their defense and, sure enough, defensive tackle is a position on the defense. The Patriots got a pretty good deal, but if the Saints didn't trade that the Bengals would have taken Ellis. The Saints wanted a player who was both quick and powerful. This former Trojan is certainly that. He faced constant double teams and he constantly beat them. He has great experience and played both tackle positions in college. I really like this guy and this pick.
Pick Grade: 9.4
Player Grade: 9.5
Damn, if I didn't want Ellis for the Patriots ! This was a smart trade by both teams. The Saints got what could be a star on their defense and the Patriots saved 4 million bucks. Just because I wanted Ellis, didn't mean Pioli and Belichick thought so. The Pats have some young guys at DT. It's the LB corp that's getting old. So yes, Ellis would have been a great addition and I really like this kid. It was a smart move by the Saints and should bring in early returns for their money.
Pick Grade: 9.5
Player Grade: 9.5
8. Jacksonville Jaguars (trade with Baltimore Ravens) - Derrick Harvey, DE/OLB, Florida
The Jaguars gave up too much to get to this pick and I don't see why they moved into this spot. I don't think there was any risk of him getting drafted before thirteenth overall at the earliest. This pick fulfills a need for the Jaguars, but I just don't see how it was necessary to move up to number eight. Anyways, Harvey is a physical player and he certainly excelled in the big game. He performed very well in the National Championship against Ohio State . He is a good fit for the Jaguars style of play. I believe Harvey will have a solid NFL career, perhaps better. This pick grade would be much higher if they didn't pay such a high cost.
Pick Grade: 8.6
Player Grade: 9.1
I think I will withhold judgement on this kid for a bit. I don't think he deserved to go this high. He is a smashmouth kind of player and that will fit in well with the Jags but I really don't think he belonged in the top 10. Im not sure he belonged in the 1st round for that matter. Now that being said, The Jags picked him for a reason. They needed a big strong physical player in this position. I just think they could have waited till the 2nd round. He would have still been available and the Jags could have saved a boat load of dough.
Pick Grade: 8.0
Player Grade: 8.5
9. Cincinnati Bengals - Keith Rivers, OLB, USC
And another defensive player from the Trojans is drafted. Yet another smart pick in the top ten. The Bengals linebacker corps was obliterated by injuries last season and Keith Rivers will help them out. He is very athletic for a linebacker, versatile too. Rivers and Jerod Mayo (you'll be hearing his name again soon) are very similar. They are both versatile, but Rivers is more finesse and athletic and Mayo is powerful and aggressive. I donâ€TMt know of any off the field issues with Rivers which is a very good thing for the Bengals. He is very active on the field and he is capable of giving the big hit, unfortunately he doesn't wrap up the opposing player enough.
Pick Grade: 9.3
Player Grade: 9.2
This is a SWEET pick. I am slightly surprised he lasted till 9th. This is a player the Raiders or Jets could have used. With all the Chad Johnson crap going on, the Bengals have a new focus - and its Keith Rivers. You'll be hearing a lot about this kid next season. I like his style of play, I like his energy and focus. I think he has the ability to lead. I've always liked the Bengals for some strange reason and its nice to see them finally have some positive force.
Pick Grade: 9.7
Player Grade: 9.4
10. New England Patriots (trade with New Orleans Saints) - Jerod Mayo, ILB, Tennessee
Two very similar players are drafted at nine and ten. Everyone knows about the Patriots old defense and that is precisely why Mayo was such a smart pick. He is an energized player who can spark the defense with either a big play or a massive hit. I particularly like this pick because if Mayo plays inside, rotating with Bruschi and Junior Seau, the Patriots can move Adalius Thomas outside where they can fully utilize his playmaking abilities. He is a high character guy, which the Patriots love and he is versatile. The Patriots love the versatile and athletic part too. Mayo was a classic Bill Belichick/ Scott Pioli pick. And, as we all know, those seem to turn out well.
Pick Grade: 9.4
Player Grade: 9.3
What I really like about Mayo is the ability to play inside or outside. I said in my draft day blog, nobody loves versatility like the Patriots and Belichick. I think it's a good pick and I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do. The Pats filled an extreme need with a good player and did it for 4 million less than they could have. That's smart drafting.
Pick Grade: 9.7
Player Grade: 9.4
11. Buffalo Bills - Leodis McKelvin, CB, Troy
McKelvin is a good player and this is a smart choice. He can help in the returning game as well. Terrence McGee is a good corner, but after him they don't have a quality starting cornerback. I expected this pick to be Devin Thomas, but this is a good pick as well, probably a better pick. Despite a low level of competition at Troy many had him as the top rated prospect in the draft. His speed may be his best attribute. It gives him speed to close and recover as well as a great dimension to his return game. He is a natural corner with great hands. Once he intercepts it watch out because he could take it all the way.
Pick Grade: 9.0
Player Grade: 9.1
This kid will make a name for himself. He reminds me a lot of a former Pats CB. He's fast, he's furious and he makes the wideouts nervous. That being said, he needs to stop second guessing himself. I've seen him hesitate and lose steps that could have been an interception. I think he will mature into following his gut feelings and be a tremendous asset to the Bills defense.
Pick Grade 9.2
Player Grade 9.3
12. Denver Broncos - Ryan Clady, OT, Boise State
This is a good pick. I thought it should have been on defense though. The Bronco's usually formidable defense crumbled last season, particularly in the run game. They were thirtieth in the league against the run, allowing over one hundred forty yards per game and they were twenty-eighth in points allowed, giving up over twenty-five points per game. I believe they should have taken a run stopping defensive tackle or linebacker. However, Clady fills a need and he is a great fit in the Bronco's style of offense. At Boise State he performed in a zone blocking scheme, similar to the one used in Denver . Clady is very athletic and he is definitely capable of being a star left tackle.
Pick Grade: 8.7
Player Grade: 9.4
I'm going to pass on this one as the jury is still out. Yeah, he flls a hole but Im just not convinced yet and I haven't seen or read enough on him to form an opinion. So I will pass on Ryan.
13. Carolina Panthers - Jonathan Stewart, RB, Oregon
Running back wasn't a huge need for the Panthers in my opinion. They could have used a number of defensive positions such as free safety, defensive tackle, and defensive end. Their defense was weak last season, then again, their offense was too. Anyway, I think that Jonathan Stewart wasn't the best running back available here. I would have taken Rashard Mendenhall instead. Perhaps the Panthers were cautious about him being a one year idea, which, by the way, is false. Stewart is a good back and I like his downhill style of running. He has the size and speed needed to succeed in the NFL. Not only does he attack the line, but he also is a big play threat. He is a good player, but Mendenhall would have been better if you ask me.
Pick Grade: 8.2
Player Grade: 8.7
OK. Panthers need a lot more help than a RB is going to give them. Their defense is horrendous, their offense was sinful. This wasn't a draft for need and in the first round, you have to draft for need.
Pick Grade: 8.0
Player Grade: 8.4
14. Chicago Bears - Chris Williams, OT, Vanderbilt
The Bears could use youth and talent along their offensive line. If I were them I would have taken a quarterback like Brian Brohm or Chad Henne who dropped all the way to the second round. Maybe even Rashard Mendenhall because their running game was putrid last year. Williams is a good addition to the team, though. He is one of the best offensive linemen to ever attend Vanderbilt. He has the ideal combination of size and quickness and he can handle virtually any type of pass rusher. He isn't the fastest of the linemen, but there is no doubt that he is an elite prospect. If not for such a strong offensive tackle class Williams could have been the first taken.
Pick Grade: 9.0
Player Grade: 9.1
15. Kansas City Chiefs (trade with Detroit Lions) - Branden Albert, OG, Virginia
Boy did Albert climb up draft boards fast. That was amazing. The Chiefs used their surplus of draft picks to trade up into this spot and get the second first round pick of their very, very successful draft. Albert was a smart pick for the Chiefs. They got a defensive tackle who is a run stopping beast in Glenn Dorsey and now they have improved their dreadful offensive line with a versatile player. He is fast and he played both guard and tackle in his career. He even had a reception in his college career, that's pretty cool. My favorite thing about Albert besides his versatility is his quickness for a guy his size.
Pick Grade: 9.5
Player Grade: 9.4
16. Arizona Cardinals - Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Tennessee State
I really like Cromartie. I have ever since I watched the Senior Bowl. Most teams were concerned about the level of competition he faced, very concerned. He showed he can play with the best at the Senior Bowl when he excelled. He had a great showing at the combine as well and he ran a good forty yard dash time. He is very athletic, but he could definitely can some bulk. His height is good as well and I love his aggressiveness. He can also return kicks because of his agility, speed, and burst.
Pick Grade: 9.0
Player Grade: 8.9
17. Detroit Lions (trade with Kansas City Chiefs) - Gosder Cherilus, OT, Boston College
Okay, this is a smart pick position wise, but why Gosder? Jeff Otah was still on the board and many see Otah as a better lineman. I see Cherilus as more of a project than Otah and also he struggled on the left side. If he is coached well and develops well he can become an exceptional right tackle and an above average left tackle at best. I love his attitude and his nasty streak. He is a huge guy as well at 6'6" and three hundred fourteen pounds. He will be an excellent run blocker, but he will almost certainly struggle against fast pass rushers.
Pick Grade: 8.5
Player Grade: 8.5
18. Baltimore Ravens (trade with Houston Texans) - Joe Flacco, QB, Delaware
I understand that this fulfills a need, and by that I mean a huge need, but why did they trade up so far? Chad Henne and Brian Brohm are still available and may have been taken before Flacco was so I don't understand why they moved up so far. Flacco has plenty of potential and he could even become a franchise quarterback. He is a tall guy, therefore he can scan the field from the pocket. He has the biggest arm in the draft. He obviously isn't polished like Matt Ryan is, but he has loads of potential.
Pick Grade: 9.0
Player Grade: 8.9
19. Carolina Panthers (trade with Philadelphia Eagles) - Jeff Otah, OT, Pittsburgh
This pick makes plenty of sense for the Panther who just drafted Jonathan Stewart earlier. Otah will provide him with some running room. Otah is not athletic and when he faces the faster and quicker players he may need some help from fellow tight ends or running backs, but he is a great competitor and he can overpower defensive linemen. The Eagles drove a hard bargain for this pick, but it was still a good move for the Panthers. The Panthers are lucky Otah was available here since Gosder Cherilus was surprising taken before him, as was Williams of Vanderbilt.
Pick Grade: 9.3
Player Grade: 9.2
20. Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Aqib Talib, CB, Kansas
Why would you do this Tampa Bay? You had the number one pass defense in the league and sure Ronde Barber is over thirty, but why would you take Aqib Talib? Talib has failed three drug tests, THREE! I really, really don't like this pick. I would take Mike Jenkins over Talib in a heartbeat. Talib is a great corner, but he tends to take too many risks and is caught out of position. Talib is a suspension waiting to happen if you ask me. He is a great player, but he is just too much of a risk especially with Roger Goodell.
Pick Grade: 7.6
Player Grade: 8.1
21. Atlanta Falcons (trade with Washington Redskins) - Sam Baker, OT, USC
Smart move by the Falcons in my opinion, but many others disagree with me. The top offensive tackles were getting taken very fast and Baker was the last elite one left. He is a good value pick here and he could turn out much better than expected. He missed out much of this season with injuries and he was in the top three of offensive tackles before the season. He played almost all of the positions along the Trojan's offensive line. Now the Falcons have provided at least some protection for Matt Ryan. Last season their offensive line was exposed after losing so much mobility at quarterback. I really like how Baker positions himself and his use of leverage.
Pick Grade: 9.5
Player Grade: 8.9
22. Dallas Cowboys (trade with Cleveland Browns) - Felix Jones, RB, Arkansas
Many are thinking Rashard Mendenhall here, but I think this is a better choice for the Cowboys. I don't think the Arkansas bond between the two Joneses is the reason either. Felix Jones is an incredible change of pace for Marion Barber who is a hard nosed runner. Jones has unbelievable speed and he had a great number of yards per carry last season. He, like Marion Barber, has become accustomed to sharing carries. Jones is a big play threat and he has very good moves. He could be a steal here if running with Darren McFadden hurt his stock. He is undersized, but he won't be in there every play or even most plays.
Pick Grade: 9.0
Player Grade: 8.6
23. Pittsburgh Steelers - Rashard Mendenhall, RB, Illinois
The Steelers are lucky Mendenhall fell all the way to twenty-third. I expected Mendenhall as a top fifteen back, going to either the Panthers at thirteen or the Bears at fourteen. If he dropped by there I saw the Texans picking him up at eighteen. But the Panthers liked Jonathan Stewart more and the Bears felt they needed an offensive lineman while the Texans traded out of their spot. Mendenhall and Willie Parker will be a great one-two punch and Mendenhall can take over if Parker gets injured again. Many say Mendenhall only had one year of successful running, but as a sophomore he averaged over eight yards per carry on seventy eight attempts. It is true that he didn't carry the load until last year, but that means less wear and tear.
Pick Grade: 9.2
Player Grade: 9.0
24. Tennessee Titans - Chris Johnson, RB, Eastern Carolina
Um, what? Why would the Titans do this? They desperately needed a wide receiver, but they didn't draft one until the fifth round. They did draft a tight end, but do they honestly expect him to be a main target for Young? Craig Stevens is no Tony Gonzales or Antonio Gates. They also already had a solid running game and LenDale White performed well last season. Johnson ran the fastest at the combine, but that is without pads and speed isn't everything in a running back. He is only one hundred ninety-seven pounds; can he stand up to the pounding? He could be a valuable asset in the kick return game, though.
Pick Grade: 7.8
Player Grade: 8.2
25. Dallas Cowboys (trade with Seattle ) - Mike Jenkins, CB, South Florida
Jenkins is excellent in man-to-man coverage. I like the versatility he provides. His quickness and speed impresses me as well. It was a position that needed improvement for the Cowboys as well. Mike Jenkins will be a good addition to their defense and he can line up opposite of Terence Newman. His fluid hips and good change of direction improve his stock too. He needs some coaching to improve his technique and footwork. Some see him as a cornerback and safety 'tweener, but I think he is a definite corner.
Pick Grade: 9.3
Player Grade: 9.0
26. Houston Texans (trade with Baltimore Ravens) - Duane Brown, OT, Virginia Tech
The Texans took a reach for Brown here. They were obviously going after need with this pick. Brown isn't even a definite tackle and he may have to move to guard. However, this former tight end is athletic for his size and he is very good at pass blocking. He needs to be coached to use his hands correctly while blocking and he isn't very consistent. It was a somewhat smart pick. It was smart based on needs, but clearly a reach.
Pick Grade: 8.4
Player Grade: 8.6
27. San Diego Chargers - Antoine Cason, CB, Arizona
This pick is unlike the Texan's selection of Duane Brown. This was not the Charger's biggest need, but it was a minor one. They could have used a right tackle, but the value wasn't there this early. I like Cason, especially as an athlete. His instincts are impressive, as is his ability to locate the ball. He can run with receivers, however, I would not line him up in the press. Another thing I like is his play making ability and his confidence. I love confidence in cornerbacks. If he is coached well and gets stronger, he could be better than expected.
Pick Grade: 8.7
Player Grade: 8.8
28. Seattle Seahawks (trade with Dallas Cowboys) - Lawrence Jackson , DE , USC
I did not see this coming. The Seahawks could have used a tight end or receiver here and Phillip Merling was still available. Jackson struggled greatly against the double team in college and his speed isn't what you look for in a defensive end. However, he is good at stopping the run. He has very good size; he is 6'5" at two hundred seventy-one pounds. He would be good in the 3-4 defense as long as you aren't expecting sacks. He faced top offensive tackles and he still managed to produce for one of the nation's best teams. I see him as a solid starter, nothing more.
Pick Grade: 8.2
Player Grade: 8.4
29. San Francisco 49ers (trade with Indianapolis Colts) - Kentwan Balmer, DT, North Carolina
Balmer is a project or a developmental prospect, in my mind, and that is why I don't like this pick. The 49ers could use immediate help on both sides of the ball. There are also concerns about Balmer having only one successful year in college and he might be a one year wonder. I don't see that as true because of his amazing blend of athleticism and size. He can get bigger, but if he really wants to succeed he needs to be coached to use leverage better.
Pick Grade: 8.0
Player Grade: 8.2
30. New York Jets (trade with Green Bay Packers) - Dustin Keller, TE, Purdue
This is one of those reaches where you try to get a book from the shelf in your school library, but that shelf is at least six feet above your head. And then to top that, you offer money to the person who gives it to you. The Jets gave up way too much to get a tight end who may have dropped to them in the second round anyways! Keller will most likely never be a great blocker; he is a good receiver and may make an impact in that aspect right away. This is a reach, but Keller is a good player.
Pick Grade: 8.0
Player Grade: 8.7
31. New York Giants - Kenny Phillips, S, Miami
See, this is a good pick. No wonder the Giants have been successful in drafts. Phillips is a good value pick here because of his athleticism and upside and he fills the need of a safety after the departure of Gibril Wilson. Phillips is no Ed Reed, but he has the potential to be far above average. I love his intensity and his size allows him to line up in the box and once he sheds blocks he will be there often. The downside is that he is often out of position and he bites on fakes to much. After some good coaching he can change that, as well as his technique and footwork issues.
Pick Grade: 9.5
Player Grade: 8.8
Thank you KP for the help and thank you for readin! I hope you enjoyed it.

We're just under a month away from the MLL Championship Weekend presented by Smartlink. As we near the most important games of the season it's time to figure out who will be there to compete for the Steinfeld Trophy.
The Denver Outlaws clinched the first seed in the playoffs with their 12th victory. The Outlaws' 12 wins tie the MLL record for the most wins in a season and improve Denver's new record for the best start in MLL history.
The Hamilton Nationals earned their spot in Championship Weekend with their win over Boston. The Nationals now sit in second place in the League and can snag the second seed in the playoffs with a win over the Charlotte Hounds or a loss by the Chesapeake Bayhawks this weekend.
The Ohio Machine and the New York Lizards will not be in Championship Weekend. Ohio was eliminated with its loss to Hamilton on July 20. New York was knocked out by the Rochester Rattlers last weekend.
Now for the teams still in the hunt. Chesapeake is leading the pack with a 7-5 record, Charlotte sits at .500 and Rochester and the Boston Cannons are still in contention at 5-7.
Chesapeake is currently third in the League and cannot be eliminated this week. A win over Rochester will secure a playoff berth for the Bayhawks. Chesapeake defeated Rochester 17-14 in the teams' first meeting, the first game of the season on April 27. This three-goal margin may come back into play if Chesapeake loses to Rochester by two goals or fewer. In this case, then Chesapeake can still clinch a spot in the playoffs if both Charlotte and Boston lose their Week 13 matchups.
Charlotte is in fourth place in the League. While Charlotte cannot be eliminated this week, they can take a spot in Championship Weekend with a win over Hamilton and a loss by Boston.
Both Rochester and Boston can face elimination this weekend. Rochester is in fifth place in the League. A loss to Chesapeake and a win by Charlotte will rule out Rochester's chances of playing in Championship Weekend. Furthermore, a win by Rochester by fewer than three goals in addition to a Charlotte win and Boston loss will eliminate Rochester from the playoffs.
Boston is in sixth place in the League and cannot clinch a playoff berth in Week 13. A loss to Ohio and a win by Charlotte will eliminate Boston from playoff contention.
With these teams all so close in record, it's possible that a tie will have to be broken to determine the final two teams in Championship Weekend. In a two-way tie, the first factor is the win-loss percentage in all head-to-head games between the tied teams. If one team won both matchups, then the tie is settled there; if the games were split, the next step is looking at the total points scored differential in all head-to-head games. If neither team has an advantage in this category, then the team with the best scoring margin in all games will advance to Championship Weekend. In the case that neither team has a superior scoring margin, then the strength of victory in all games will be analyzed. A three-way tie is also possible at the end of the regular season. These ties are broken just as two-way ties are broken. First, the win-loss percentage in all games among the tied teams will be analyzed, then the total scoring margin in games among the tied teams, then the total scoring margin in all games. If no team or two teams advanced based on these factors, the strength of victory in all games will be reviewed. Additionally, if one of the three tied teams earns a spot based on an early step in the tie-breaking process, then the two remaining teams will be treated as though they are in a two-way tie.
Be sure to watch the games this weekend to see if your favorite team clinches a spot in the MLL Championship Weekend presented by Smartlink August 24 and 25 at PPL Park in Philadelphia, Pa. To order tickets Click Here.

How immigrants are redefining 'American' in Southern California
Definitely not a deportation case: Complaint lists allegations against L.A. arson suspect's mom
The federal complaint against Dorothee Burkhart, the mother of suspected arsonist Harry Burkhart, is rather a lengthy list of fraud accusations from Germany.
It had been reported yesterday and earlier today that she faced deportation, and that her 24-year-old son, who is suspected of setting more than 50 fires over the holiday weekend, most of them in the Hollywood area, had an angry outburst in immigration court at her hearing. Not so.
The elder Burkhart, a German citizen who faces extradition to her native country and is being considered a fugitive, appeared in federal court today in Los Angeles, where she was arrested last week. Charged with 19 counts of fraud, she is accused of bilking a long string of renters and, in addition, the plastic surgeon who performed her breast augmentation in 2004.
The complaint goes on to read that Dorothee Burkhart is believed to have lived with her son in Hollywood, but that she flew from Frankfurt to Las Vegas in October, accompanying him to the German consulate in Los Angeles Oct. 26 to renew his passport.
Immigration officials have yet to release any information pertaining to Harry Burkhart following his arrest. Check KPCC's website for forthcoming details from Dorothee Burkhart's hearing today.

The Real Trendsetter For A Smarter HomeMonday January 23rd, 2012 - 2:30PM
These are shortcuts to your favorite social networking and bookmark sites. Add this story to your Facebook page, del.icio.us, DiggIt, and many others!
All the buzz about the "connected home" at CES in Las Vegas earlier this year had a familiar ring to it for anyone who has been following the housewares industry for a while. The CES previews came 12 years after Sunbeam Corp. (now Jarden Consumer Solutions) introduced its Thalia concept of networked "smart" appliances at the International Housewares Show in Chicago. Thalia never took root for many reasons, among them perhaps the lack at the time of a consensus technical standard for such household connectivity; and a mass consumer base not quite ready for the multi-component buy-in required to optimize the concept's usefulness, and ultimately, its value. Consumer Traction Fast-forward to 2012: With wi-fi- and web-enabled mobile devices and "cloud" networking becoming household staples, the latest wave of smart-home applications would seem to have a better than fair chance at consumer traction. The shame of it all is that Sunbeam and other small appliance companies who dabbled with the connected-home concept more than a decade earlier didn't have the market support or the marketing muscle to pull it off. Their pioneering contribution, though, should not be forgotten. Housewares innovation often is more evolutionary than it is revolutionary. The industry, nonetheless, still comes through with plenty of new ideas that add meaningful quality and value to home living. The trick is securing the retail support and financial cushion needed to build and sustain the marketing momentum behind such ideas. Marketing Superpower It's interesting how revered the consumer packaged goods industry is as a lifestyle trendsetter in the eyes of many observers. The headline of a recent article in USA Today proclaimed, "Trend Alert: 10 new products to watch for in 2012," followed by a roundup of forthcoming entries by such consumer marketing superpowers as P&G, Kraft and Kimberly Clark. Among the hot trends to be fueled by these products, according to the article: "Touchless cleaning," "Hyper-personal everything," "Simplified meals," "Ethnic foods 'R us," "Healthy but fast" and "Customized snacking." Game-Changing Credit Think of how many housewares products have been at the forefront of each of these trends. This happens often: A housewares company develops a novel solution, then after a few seasons of toiling to build the market, some MBA-infused packaged goods giant with a portfolio of high-profile brands and deep pockets swoops in and claims the idea as its own through consumable positioning, a multi-million-dollar consumer ad campaign and preordained slots on the shelves of supermarkets and discount stores across the land. The housewares industry deserves not only credit for its game-changing ideas. It also deserves a fair chance to be a long-term stakeholder in the concepts it pioneers. Few if any housewares companies boast the consumer advertising budgets of their packaged goods or technology counterparts. While social media is making it easier and less expensive to spread the message directly to consumers, housewares still relies on its retail partners to accept new ideas, to promote them and to sustain their full value over time. It's no easy trick, for sure. But never forget: Housewares has been connecting consumers and creating smarter homes long before microwave popcorn and wi-fi were ever invented. —Peter Giannetti Tags: • Housewares • |

Cajun Palms RV Resort
[ 9/10 ]
Fabulous RV park with great amenities, clean common areas (pool, showers, restrooms) and a friendly staff. I stayed at 14 different parks on this trip and this one ranked #2. A cajun restaurant, in walking distance, was an added bonus.
Grand Rivers, Kentucky
Exit 31 RV Park
[ 2/10 ]
Their website was misleading and said it was beautiful and surrounded by trees. In reality, it was a disgusting park and way overpriced for the minimal services provided. It was merely an unkempt parking lot, no shade, stinky, trash scattered around various sites, and no restrooms or shower facilities. More importantly, we did not feel safe at this park and drove to a much nicer and less expensive park in Paducah.
