Five face trial stemming from Petersburg slaying
PETERSBURG - The grand jury returned true bills - indicating there is enough evidence for a trial - against several defendants in connection to an October 2012 homicide in the city.
With the true bills the individuals charged now have trial dates set.
Ricky Wyatt, 26, is facing charges of conspiracy to commit first degree murder, accessory in a first degree murder and use of a firearm in commission of a felony. His trial date has been set for March 18.
Dataniel Peterkin, 40, had charges of first degree murder, gang participation and use of a firearm in commission of a felony certified as true bills by the grand jury.
Laquain Roberson, 37, who waived a preliminary hearing in January is facing charges of participating in a gang and being a violent felon in possession of a weapon. Like Roberson, Dwayne Flowers, 48, of Petersburg, waived his preliminary hearing in January on a charge of being a non-violent felon in possession of a weapon.
Peterkin, Roberson and Flowers are all scheduled to stand trial on April 18.
Marlon Boone, 20, had charges of first degree murder, use of a firearm in commission of a felony and gang participation returned as true bills. He is set to stand trial on June 4.
Steffon Williams had a single charge of participation in a gang returned as a true bill by the grand jury in connection to the Oct. 17, 2012, homicide of 22-year-old Jamal Muhammad. His trial is set for May 7.
In January following the preliminary hearings for the suspects, Commonwealth's Attorney Cassandra Conover said that all the charges stem from the homicide of Muhammad.
According to police, Muhammad was responsive but uncooperative when an officer was flagged down near the intersection of Mistletoe and Harding streets around 7 p.m. Oct. 17. Muhammad was transported to Southside Regional Medical Center, where he underwent surgery, but died the next morning.
Conover said that those charged in the crime apparently have ties to a national gang. She said that Muhammad was questioned, or "G-checked," by the suspects of his knowledge of the gang.
The commonwealth's attorney said that when Muhammad's answers weren't satisfactory, one of those questioning him allegedly hit him in the head with a bottle before he was shot.
During the preliminary hearing for the suspects in the allegedly gang-related murder, which was held in General District Court Jan. 11, there was a heavy law enforcement presence outside the courthouse.
Conover said that the extra security was a result of "allegations of participation by a national gang and the number of defendants at the preliminary hearing."
"We've always told the citizens that this is out there," Conover said. "The gang presence is nothing new to our office or law enforcement. This is just affirmation of what we have been telling the community for years."
She said that residents of the city are aware of the issue and want her office to work with them on addressing the issue.

RAID options for the Linux desktop
Linux offers several options for fulfilling the RAID promise of fast hard disk access and data security.
In the past 15 years, hard disk capacities have grown by a factor of almost a thousand. 15 years ago, a typical hard disk had a capacity of between 300 and 500 Mbytes, and they were just as expensive as today's 300 to 500 Gbyte disks. Because PCs with two or more disks are now quite common, home users can easily afford the data redundancy and higher performance that used to be the reserve of enterprise-level servers. The technology that makes this possible is known as RAID. RAID – an Introduction RAID [1] was designed some 20 years ago by Berkeley post-graduate students David Patterson, Garth Gibson, and Randy Katz. At the time, RAID was the answer to a difficult problem: if you needed a lot of storage capacity, you had to choose either a single, large disk that was reliable but expensive or a lot of small, fairly unreliable, inexpensive disks.

FACTS & STATS: Site: Petersen Events Center (12,508) -- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Television: ESPN U. Home Record: FSU 8-4, Pitt 13-3. Away Record: FSU 4-6, Pitt 4-2. Neutral Record: FSU 3-1, Pitt 3-1. Conference Record: FSU 6-8, Pitt 8-5. Series Record: Pittsburgh leads, 9-1.
GAME NOTES: The Pittsburgh Panthers return home to the Petersen Events Center on Sunday evening attempting to halt their two-game losing streak in an Atlantic Coast Conference bout with the Florida State Seminoles.
Florida State owns a solid 15-11 overall record this season but has been trending downward in recent weeks with losses in three of its last four to slip to just 6-8 in the ACC. The Seminoles dropped an 81-75 decision at home to North Carolina on Feb. 17 and now head back out on the road where they've gone just 4-6.
Pitt has been stellar this season at 20-6 overall and 8-5 in the ACC, but it has lost four of its last six and has gone a combined 0-5 against the four teams it trails in the ACC standings. The Panthers last played exactly one week ago, falling on the wrong end of a 75-71 final at UNC, but at home they have gone a stellar 13-3.
The Panthers have owned the Seminoles in the all-time series with wins in nine of 10 matchups, with Pitt winning the latest meeting in December of 2008 in Tallahassee, 56-48.
Although the Seminoles built a lead as large as 15 in their most recent game, they were ultimately done in by a big second half from UNC and eventually dropped the six-point decision. They were outshot from the field, 51.6 percent to 43.1 percent, and lost the rebounding battle, 42-32. Ian Miller was on fire from 3-point range (5-of-8) on his way to 22 points, while Montay Brandon and Aaron Thomas scored 18 and 16 points, respectively.
On the season, FSU is typically impressive on both ends of the floor, as it shoots 46.5 percent from the field while allowing its opponents to make good on just 39.1 percent of its tries from the floor en route to a +5.9 scoring margin. Miller and Aaron Thomas both pour in an identical 13.6 ppg to lead the team, with Miller doing a large portion of his damage from 3-point range (48- of-119). Okaro White is a mainstay in the paint with 12.2 ppg, 6.6 rpg and nearly a block per contest, while shooting 50.5 percent from the field.
Just like FSU, Pitt also couldn't get the best of UNC in its latest tilt. Even though it cut a 12-point deficit to just two late in the game, it was ultimately done in by a mere 40.6 percent field goal shooting effort and a game-high 14 turnovers. Lamar Patterson was only 5-of-15 from the field but still netted 16 points and swiped four steals. Jamel Artis came off the bench to tally 13 points and seven rebounds and James Robinson pitched in with 10 points.
The Panthers' most recent effort was not indicative of their overall success this season, as they shoot 46.2 percent from the field for 72.5 ppg, while allowing just 60.6 ppg (12th in the nation) on 40.2 percent shooting. They also boast positive margins in terms of rebounding (+6.5) and turnovers (+2.0). Patterson is the catalyst and contributes across the board with 17.0 ppg, 4.5 rpg, 4.3 apg and 1.5 spg, while knocking down 52 3-pointers at a 40 percent clip. Talib Zanna is an anchor in the frontcourt with 12.4 ppg and 7.9 rpg, while Cameron Wright (10.7 ppg) and Robinson (8.3 ppg, 3.9 apg) also bring regular contributions.
While its status as an elite team is still very much in question, Pitt has had no trouble defeating the teams it's supposed to beat on its home floor this season and should be able to dismiss the Seminoles in this one.

Witchcraft: Practice, History & Spells
Christian Day and Fiona Horne discussed the practice of witchcraft, and how it can be used to help and inspire others. Horne pointed out that the religion of Wicca is a part of witchcraft but not synonymous with it. Witchcraft is a broader concept than religion-- it's the ancient practice of magic by regular people, Day explained. Many different objects such as items from nature can be used in spells, but candle magic âemploying the element of fire and the energy of colors-- is one of the most effective, Horne said. Rhyme and rhythm can also resonate like magnets to attract goals, she added. Day, a witch based in Salem, said his practice begins with getting in touch with the alpha mind state. He described a love spell in which an apple is split in half. A photo of the person and the one they are attracted to are placed on the halves, and then the apple is sewn back together.Such items aren't just props but contain the energy placed into them, he suggested. Day, who appeared wit ... More »Host: George Noory
Inside Wicca
Practicing witch Fiona Horne (fionahorne.com) was the guest for the middle two hours of Monday's show. Dispelling myths about Wicca, Horne said that she used the earth-based practice to help and heal, rather than to harm. She views Wicca as a "spiritual path rather than a religion," which has allowed her to create her own faith, instead of following a set dogma. "I don't believe God is something other than me," she said stressing the importance of the individual and their body.Further, "if God is to survive it depends on the diversity of his love," she related, from a recent epiphany.The degree to which one gains spiritual understanding from Wicca can vary. "The world answers according to the questions you ask of it," she said. ... More »Host: George Noory

BCBSM Registered Dietitian Grace Derocha wants you to grill healthy this summer.Check out her tips below:Healthy Meat Options
Grilled meat tastes great simply seasoned with a little salt and pepper. To add extra flavor, try a rub or a homemade marinade, which typically has fewer calories than sauces or condiments. Make your own rubs with a variety of seasonings, spices, and dried herbs. Use sugar sparingly in rubs because it burns easily when it comes in contact with high temperatures.When making your own marinade, experiment with flavorful ingredients such as lemon juice, orange juice, citrus zest, and balsamic vinegar. The marinade helps reduce the number of carcinogens on the meat when grilling. Also grilling at 325 degrees Fahrenheit or less will reduce carcinogens.Grill Those VeggiesVegetables are an important source of vitamins, minerals and nutrients that our bodies need. New guidelines recommend that half a dinner plate be filled with fruits and vegetables, it is vital to incorporate as many veggies as possible. Here are some great guidelines for grilling dad's favorite veggies:
The flavor of fruits and vegetables are naturally intensified when grilled. Because a lot of the moisture evaporates from fruits and vegetables as they grill, the flavor becomes more concentrated and the sugars become more condensed, increasing their sweetness and flavor. Cut into pieces or grilled whole, fruits and vegetables are simple and satisfying addition to your grilling repertoire.Grill Your DessertGrilled fruit is a healthy and refreshing dessert alternative for summer barbeques. Grilling fruit causes its natural sugar to caramelize, intensifying the flavor. Use cut peaches, apples, or banana halves or whole fruit, such as strawberries, and use a cooking spray to avoid sticking. Top grilled fruit with a dollop of frozen yogurt or Greek-style yogurt, and you'll have yourself a sweet ending to a great grilled meal.Let me know if you would be interested in featuring Grace for a Father's Day grilling segment.

Amherst, Mass. - April 10, 2013 - Rob Maher recorded a season-best 21 saves, but it wasn't enough as the Springfield College men's lacrosse team lost its non-conference finale at Amherst College, 13-12, on Wednesday night.
Springfield had its three-game winning streak snapped and now is 4-7 on the year. The victory boosts Amherst's record to 4-6.
Bryce Serriello netted four goals on the evening for the Pride, while Ryan Murphy produced two goals and two assists. Branden Fernandez won 12-of-25 face-offs and picked up six ground balls.
Kane Haffey paved the way for the Amherst attack with a game-high six goals, while Devin Acton and Dylan Park each had a pair of scores. Quinn Moroney, Patrick Moroney, and Danny Gold accounted for the other three tallies, with Quinn Moroney adding three assists.
Finding Murphy on the right side, Colby Verge helped set up Springfield's first score, assisting on the junior's 24th of the season at 9:47. Responding less than a minute later, Quinn Moroney picked up a ground ball after a Sam Lawlor miss and found Haffey for the equalizer.
Capping off a flurry of goals, Murphy came right back down and linked up Mattt Fleisher before Serriello caught a pass on the left side. Dodging a defender he ripped a high shot past first-year Amherst goalkeeper Thomas Gilligan with under five minutes to go in the first. Tony LaGuerre added to the lead at 2:17, forcing an Amherst timeout.
Kevin Sainte kept the Pride rolling with a score 4:19 into the second period before Serriello fired a long shot while ranging to his right to make it 6-1. After Haffey and Serriello exchanged tallies 2:35 apart, Amherst rattled off three unanswered to pull within two.
Gold got the run started with a hard shot from 10 yards out at 3:46. Taking advantage of a locked-in Springfield penalty for an illegal body check, Park and Haffey netted a pair of goals in 59 seconds to suddenly make it 7-5. Ryon Lynch momentarily ended the Jeff hot-streak with a score with 41 seconds left, but Acton beat Maher with a low shot just before the half to keep the Purple & White within striking distance.
Wrapping around behind the net, Quinn Moroney again went low on Maher before Patrick Moroney found space to the right of goal. Making the initial save, Maher could not control the rebound as Haffey plucked it from the air and tucked a try inside the left post.
Tallying his fourth goal, Serriello put Springfield back on top at 9:25. Converting another man up opportunity, the Jeffs pulled even less than two minutes later on a Patrick Moroney shot that found the upper right corner.
Responding with a pair of goals, Kevin Freeman netted an even strength score at the 5:06 mark of the third before Sainte found a cutting Kevin Dean for a man-up tally just 51 seconds later. Park brought the Jeffs back within one with under three minutes to go in the quarter, but Murphy sneaked behind the cage and flicked a quick shot into net with just four seconds on the clock.
Causing a turnover early in the final period, Amherst got out in transition, with Acton putting a shot on goal. Once again at the right place at the right time, Haffey corralled the rebound and notched his fifth of the night to cut the deficit to 12-11. Finding open space on the right side after a restart, Haffey tied it for the second time with 4:39 left in regulation. Taking a pass behind the net, Acton wrapped around the left post, dodged a defender and scored in the upper left corner to give Amherst its first lead of the game with 1:04 to go.
The Pride will return to conference action on Saturday when it hosts Mass. Maritime at 2:00 pm.

Vt. revenues up in most categories in JanuaryFebruary 16,2013MONTPELIER New figures show that Vermont state revenues were up in most categories last month, coming in slightly ahead of projections.
In the results released Thursday, Administration Secretary Jeb Spaulding said January was a good month for the state treasury.
General Fund revenues in January were $2.3 million, or 1.6 percent, above forecasts. Seven months into the current fiscal year that ends June 30, general fund revenues total $750 million, three-tenths of one percent above the target figure.
The non-dedicated transportation fund receipts in January exceeded forecasts by about three-quarters of one percent. Year-to-date the fund is about one-tenth of one percent above target.
But the non-property tax education fund receipts for January were about one-tenth of one percent below expectations. For the year, the fund is just below even.MORE IN This Just InTOWNSHEND — A 26-year-old Townshend man shot his off-again, on-again girlfriend late...

There is currently no standard diagnostic tool or established early detection method for pancreatic cancer. When diagnosed early, surgical resection offers the best chance for long term control of pancreatic cancer, yet most patients are diagnosed at later stages and are not eligible for surgery. Therefore, tests sensitive enough to detect pancreatic cancer in the earliest stages are urgently needed.
Pancreatic cancer is diagnosed primarily through the use of computed tomography (CT) scans, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), laparoscopy and biopsy. Unfortunately, these tests have not proven to be 100% effective at detecting small lesions, pre-cancers or early stage cancers, which may be more possible to effectively treat.
For individuals who are at increased risk due to family history or other factors, effective early screening methods are especially important. A blood test that identifies a specific substance in the blood that is highly indicative of cancer, such as the PSA test for prostate cancer, is the ideal early detection method because of ease of use and cost-effectiveness. At institutions across the country, researchers are actively looking for pancreatic cancer biomarkers that can be used in a diagnostic test. Researchers use a variety of methods to find these markers and they are beginning to yield promising results.
Existing Options
Until a reliable early detection test is developed, screening protocols for high-risk individuals are very important. Although many doctors agree that having two or more close family members with pancreatic cancer puts a person at high risk for the disease, there is no consensus as to when, how often and with what methods these individuals should be screened.
Because of the lack of knowledge surrounding early screenings, doctors stress the importance of taking part in investigational studies targeted specifically at populations at high risk for pancreatic cancer. Two types of research programs for high-risk individuals are surveillance programs and family registries.
Surveillance Programs
The goal of surveillance programs is to detect early pancreatic cancer and pre-cancerous lesions in patients who are at high risk for developing pancreatic cancer. Depending on the study, a person is considered high-risk if they have two or more first-degree relatives (sibling, parent or child) who have had pancreatic cancer, if they have a first-degree relative who developed pancreatic cancer before the age of 50, or if they have inherited genetic syndromes associated with pancreatic cancer.
These programs involve regular monitoring of high-risk persons using tests such as EUS, CT scan and/or ERCP. Participants may also undergo novel imaging procedures, be tested for genes associated with hereditary pancreatic cancer, and have biological fluids, such as blood and pancreatic juice, collected and analyzed.
When enrolling in surveillance programs, patients should be thoroughly counseled on the potential risks and benefits of screening.
Besides the advantage of having screenings performed by knowledgeable doctors and possibly benefiting from cutting edge diagnostic tests, study participants will undoubtedly help advance the science of early detection. Over the next few years, these studies should provide a wealth of
Information regarding who is at risk, what genes are most involved in developing pancreatic cancer and the best methods for early diagnosis and treatment.
A few institutions have programs in place and others are in the process of developing them. Please contact a Patient and Liaison Services (PALS) Associate at 877-272-6226 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information about surveillance programs.
Family Registries
Family registries are collections of patient data that can allow researchers to potentially identify other risk factors and/or genetic conditions associated with the disease. Registries generally are less involved than surveillance programs and only require participants to fill out a questionnaire.
Family registries may not provide direct benefit to the individual or his/her family. Registries examine environmental factors, lifestyle habits, and/or history of pancreatic cancer along with the incidence of other cancers in the family. This information my help researchers better understand this disease through studying families with an increased incidence. Both patients and their family members can participate in family registries. In addition to the questionnaire to gather relevant information, some registries also ask participants to provide a blood sample for additional genetic analysis.
There are several institutions throughout the country that currently have active family registries. Please contact a Patient and Liaison Services (PALS) Associate for more information and to obtain a list of current family registries.
Current Research
Using genetic analysis, scientists are looking for specific genes and changes within genes that are associated with pancreatic cancer. Preliminary studies have revealed that a significant number of genes are abnormally active in pancreatic cancer cells. Researchers predict that they will someday be able to isolate these genes in blood samples.
Proteomics is an area of research that involves analyzing samples of biological fluid for patterns of protein expression unique to a specific disease. Proteomic tools are being used to analyze samples of pancreatic juice from pancreatic cancer patients and to look for elevated levels of specific proteins that may be associated with the disease.
Scientists are also analyzing other biological fluids, such as saliva and blood, for biomarkers that are present in patients with pancreatic cancer.
There are also new imaging techniques that are showing promise in detecting pancreatic cancer in its early stages. These techniques allow doctors to look for subtle changes in the cells of the duodenum (part of the small intestine that is next to the pancreas) that would indicate the presence of pancreatic cancer.
A diagnostic test involving any biomarker must be able to distinguish between a person with pancreatic cancer and an unaffected individual with near 100% accuracy. Several markers, including the ones mentioned previously, have been tested as diagnostic tools with promising results. However, the number of patients in the studies has been too small, so the results must be confirmed in additional studies with a larger patient population. It is doubtful that one marker alone will be specific enough to reliably diagnose all types of pancreatic cancer. It is more likely that a group, or panel, of many markers will be combined to create an accurate test.
With continued research, improved technology and increased funding, researchers predict that significant advances in the early detection of pancreatic cancer will be made in the next few years.

During the president's State of The Union address Tuesday evening, a 20-year-old man was sitting among members of Congress and dignitaries while his proud family watched from across the nation.
In a small room in downtown Las Vegas, the Aleman family looked on with anticipation.
"My dad - he was next to me and was like, 'That's my son!'" said Yadira Aleman, Alan Aleman's sister.
Alan Aleman was brought to the country illegally by his parents when he was a child. Currently, he is a student at the College of Southern Nevada, and his efforts to someday become a doctor led the president to mention him in his Las Vegas immigration speech last month.
Soon after the speech, Aleman - a member of DREAM Big Vegas, received an invitation to the State of The Union.
Yadira Aleman calls her brother an inspiration.
"Knowing he's my brother and he's doing this - it's even more - I don't have enough words to say how happy I am for him," she said after the address.
"Send me a comprehensive immigration reform bill in the next few months, and I will sign it right away and America will be better for it," President Barack Obama told the nation, which resulted in applause from the crowd gathered at the Progressive Leadership Alliance of Nevada.
The group of about 40 people held onto the president's every word - with each issue resonating for at least some in the room.
"Our members of Congress need to recognize that people voted for the things (Obama) laid out today and what he laid out in his inauguration speech, and I think if people want to continue being members of Congress, they need to check themselves," said Laura Martin, communications director for PLAN.
Democrats and Republicans have shared differing views on several big issues, and individuals on both sides said they want the stalemate to end.
"It's all talk for me right now. It's been talk for the past four years," said Carl Bunce, vice chairman of the Clark County Republican Party, in response to the president's remarks.
Bunce told FOX5 following the State of The Union address that he wants to see action - especially when it comes to spending cuts and decisions in general.
"Is Congress going to follow the rules?" he wondered. "Is Congress going to adopt a budget? Is Congress actually going to address the things that need to be addressed?"

- RiverheadDestinationVIPDined on 8/31/2014Nick & Toni's consistently offers good food in a comfortable atmosphere. An East Hampton staple that is confident about what it does and does it well.Special Features:
- marcoVIPDined on 8/28/2014just ok , nothing special , expected more would go back in off season not during august
- Helps if you are an "A" listernotacitrusfanDined on 8/24/2014We hadn't been to The Hamptons for a few years. We travel all over the country for business, visiting many top restaurants. There are three rooms at Nick & Toni's, with the front room the "see and be seen" room. We were seated in the back room next to a family and no one else in that room. Service was attentive while not overbearing. Food was excellent, while expensive. After about 45 minutes, a family with two adorable girls (about three years old) were seated next to us. As the children's noise level elevated, I finally went to the maitre 'd and asked to be moved. They were very accomodating, and, moved us to the front room, where we completed our dinner. What might have been nice would have been a round of drinks?Special Features:
- JulieDined on 8/21/2014We had a great dinner at Nick & Toni's. We are always treated well here. The food is delicious and there are a lot of good choices. The service is very professional--and friendly. And the restaurant honored our request to be seated in a specific section. We'll definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- BetsyVIPDined on 8/19/2014Poor service, waited 40 minutes between courses with no explanation. Did not get bill when requested.

- Have always loved it!OpenTable Diner Since 2006VIPDined on 8/16/2014The food is very consistent, excellent quality, always very fresh and delicious. They work at not making you way too long for a table and the tartufo is the greatest dessert.Special Features:
- What Happenedfoodie913VIPDined on 8/13/2014We have been eating in Nick & Toni's every summer since we have been going to the Hampton's as it was one of our favorites, but what happened? This summer we had the misfortune of eating there and had what can only be considered a very sub par meal. Maybe it was a hiccup, but our first clue really should have been that our reservation was honored with out having to wait. This has never occurred before and after eating our meal, I understood why.Special Features:
- Perfect!SukiDined on 8/12/2014As always, they set the bar for what a lovely dining experience should be!Special Features:

- Did not have a great timemissaustralianballetDined on 7/28/2014We found the drinks to be watered down. All 3 that we ordered. We sent them back and they come back stronger but for the price you pay it wasn't worth it. Food was ok.
- 7.26.14pxblxDined on 7/26/2014I went to Nick and Toni's after hearing about it from a friend who frequents The Hampton's. The food was delicious, the atmosphere relaxed in spite of the hype and celebrity surrounding the place and the service superb.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 7/23/2014I was very disappointed as I have been to nick & Toni's many times before and have always loved it but this time I didn't like it at all - my ribeye steak was average at best and the beet salad tasted terrible - I also had a half dish of the gnocchi as an appetizer and it tasted bland and was not good at all - I was very surprised because as indicated I have always liked this restaurant and this time there was nothing good about - it also didn't help that it took an hour from the time we finished our appetizers until we got out entrees and the waiter did not come over once during this unacceptable wait - overall very disappointed and surprised
- An East Hampton GemgavdinerVIPDined on 7/19/2014Food and service always outstanding. Treated like a true guest!
- Amazing foodVerypickyDined on 7/17/2014So happy we found this place. The food was amazing, service excellent, drinks delicious. 5 star qualitySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- King of the East EndCardiacKidVIPDined on 7/17/2014Year after year, Nick and Toni's delivers high quality dining in a comfortable setting. The white tablecloths are gone, and many of the seasoned wait staff have moved on, taking a bit of glow off the experience, but the food remains fresh and creative and the buzz of excitement fills the rooms. The off-the-menu tartufo is the perfect end to a sophisticated meal here.Special Features:
- CarmelDined on 7/14/2014Fish, veggies and wine excellent. Would have liked more local fish. The whole fish was super. Great octapus starter, corn side. Chicken however was rather dry.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always deliciousOpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 7/13/2014We try to make this a staple every time we go to EH. Never ceases to disappoint in the quality of food, portions and presentation. Wish they had the monk fish last night. Going back on the 24th...PLEASE have it as a special that night :)... and not bad dining with Alec Baldwin and Nathan Lane at the next table. I am looking forward to trying the NEW watermelon salad next time we go. Couldn't pass up the wonderful zucchini chips. As usual...the olives are delicious! We have never had to wait with a reservation, which is impressive.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- keeps getting better…..DaschaVIPDined on 7/13/2014Just when you think it can't get any better - Nick and Toni's does. From Kirsten as you enter to the new additions the menu this is our go to place for a warm atmosphere and outstanding dining.Special Features:
- DisappointedOpenTable Diner Since 2001VIPDined on 7/12/2014I have always heard good things about Nick and Toni's and was looking forward to trying it. Although we were seated on time, we waited almost an hour for our first course and then another half hour for our entrees. The noise level was nearly unbearable and made it difficult for us to have a conversation. The food was mediocre at best, nothing special at all. We will not return.Special Features:
- disappointeddisappointedDined on 7/12/2014appetizer was good. swordfish was way overcooked and loaded with pepper. waiter (when he finally came back) said they would cook another fish. what was i supposed to do watch my friend eat for a half hour? dessert was weird. they offered me biscotti and alcohol dipping sauce as a token of good will. experience would been different elsewhere. guess they didnt care if i was disappointed.Special Features:

- opmisemDined on 7/2/2014first table near front very noisy. Staff graciously found another very quickly. food: 3 appetizers, 1 pasta. fried ravioli with fois gras - filling too liquid. sardines - good. grilled baby octopus - too smoky masked octo. flavor. pasta with lamb ragout - good, but not outstanding. kind of flat. portions fine. service pleasant; staff professional. very nice. we'll be back but latter this summer. thank you.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Nice for a special occasion!LiketodineoutDined on 6/29/2014In June 2014, my wife and I dined at Nick and Toni's restaraunt in East Hampton to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversay. The food was excellent and the staff was courteous and very professional, from making the intial reservation to paying the bill. This was our first time at the restaraunt; we have had a second home in East Hampton for the past 12 yearsand we definitely would come back again. Yes, it is moderate to highly priced, but not too outrageous. Compared to other restarunts in the Hamptons, the food here, for the price, is at the very top of the list. I highly recomnmend it for celebrating a special occasion!Special Features:
- nick & tonismaybeVIPDined on 6/28/2014Can't figure why it was so hard to get a reservation here. We got there at 8:00 left at 9:30. All parts of the restautant were 1/4 empty.(except outside) Food was average. Our server was below average but rest of the staff was nice. Bar was fun.Special Features:
- nice but Very expensivechudginsDined on 6/25/2014It was packed, we had reservations and still had to wait a half hour to be seated. They try to talk you into the 2 course for $35 or the 3 course for $55 deal, but then mention that with the deal the portions are smaller. The food was really good, just very expensive. Nice for a special occasion.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Love Nick and Toni'sJoeGDined on 6/25/2014This is a must do when out in the Hamptons. Always great food. Love it!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- MartyDined on 6/24/2014I have been to Nick and Toni's numerous times and have never had a bad meal. Food is fantastic and service is good.Special Features:
- Favorite RestaurantOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 6/22/2014I am from NYC and whenever I go to the Hamptons, I make sure I get a reservation (weeks in advance) at Nick and Toni's. Nick and Toni's never disappoints! The food is ridiculously good. The wood fire chicken and the zucchini chips are my favorite two things to get. The rib eye steak is incredible as well. The desserts are amazing, especially the key lime fried mini doughnuts.Special Features:
- TableBocajoe4meDined on 6/21/2014I booked thru open table. I requested a booth. When we got there they said they tried calling me to tell me there were no booths available. We sat at a table that was in an angle. Very uncomfortable. We were two people and noticed there were many other nicer tables for two that weren't taken. ????? We should have been seated at a table for 2 not 4. The waiter was very attentive but never fixed the crooked table. Also they charged is extra for olives in our martini. What's up with that. But what saved the restaurant experience was the food. It was prepared perfectly. I had the sword fish. My husband the pork chopSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Enjoyable eveningHoneytooDined on 6/18/2014Enjoyed our dinner very much. Excellent food and fine service. Saw some celebrities as well. Would definitely recommend.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a pleasureEstebanDined on 6/18/2014This is a place that has its act together and has for a long, long time. The food is so delicious, the wine so thoughtful, you'd think you were in a top-notch Hamptons restaurant, which of course you are, however the decorating is so restful and the staff so competent and so very helpful, you feel like you're among friends.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

Love this! It smells clean. I just wish it lasted longer!
Love this stuff. It's sweet smelling and light, not over baring at all. Everyone should try it.
This is one of my favorite fragrances and one of the few I would repurchase. It is fresh and fruity. I just wish the fragrance lasted a bit longer. The scent it quite unique, and I always get comments on it. I am nearly out and am not sure how to repurchase, as my rep has moved.
Not crazy about this perfume. It isn't one of those perfumes that totally nauseates you, but it's not great. I wear it once in a while but it's just too citrus-y for me.
Pleasantly surprised by this fresh fruity floral. It is in the same category as Happy regarding its bright citrus scent, but is much more fruity. Not as overpowering as Happy. Will definitely buy again.
I love it-- and i disagree- this is not like Happy at all-- I can't stand Happy- its way too strong-- but this stuff is just right! I love it!
A very bright, clean and fresh fragrance. Very youthful.
Poor lasting power though.
a light, citrus scent. it's very refreshing! it's a "young" scent. it only lasts a few hours though.
I'm not a fan of perfumes, but i tried this since I got a free sample of it from a makeup session. This has a nice smell and it lasts longer than most of the body sprays that I usually use. Try it.
I am a bit tired of Happy, although I like it. This isn't really that much like Happy, IMHO. It's a lot better! Yes, it has a initial citrus burst, but the florals in this one are much better, esp. the banana flower, it smells so pretty and fresh, I keep sniffing myself all day. Doesn't smell quite as "orange" as Happy and I don't sense an ozonic note here, as I do in Happy.
I bought Velocity for a friend, thinking I was "above" this type of scent now, then put some on at her house, and it smelled better than any of the testers I tried that day! I like it, great for the spring and summer, or any casual/fun day.
The upside down and iridescent bottle is so cute, too.

Tag Archives: SaaS Integration
The Need for Specialized SaaS Analytics
SaaS companies are growing rapidly and becoming the top priority for most CIOs. With such high growth expectations, many SaaS vendors are investing in sales and marketing to acquire new customers even if it means having a negative net profit margin as a result. Moreover, with the pressure to grow rapidly, there is an increased urgency to ensure that the Average Sales Price (ASP) of every transaction increases in order to meet revenue targets.
The nature of the cloud allows these SaaS companies to release new features every few months, which sales reps can then promote to new customers. When new functionalities are not used nor understood, customers often feel that they have overpaid for a SaaS product. In such cases, customers usually downgrade to a lower-priced edition or worse, leave the vendor entirely. To make up for this loss, the sales representatives must work harder to acquire new leads, which results in less attention for existing customers. Preventing customer churn is very important. The Cost to Acquire a Customer (CAC) for upsells is 19% of the CAC to acquire new customer dollars. In comparison, the CAC to renew existing customers is only 15% of the CAC to acquire new customer dollars.
Accurate customer usage data helps determine which features customers use and which are under utilized. Gathering this data can help pinpoint high-value features that are not used, especially for customers that have recently upgraded to a higher edition. The process of collecting this data involves several touch points – from recording clicks within the app to analyzing the open rate of entire modules. This is where embedded cloud integration comes into play.
Embedding integration within a SaaS application allows vendors to gain operational insights into each aspect of how their app is being used. With this data, vendors are able to provide feedback to product management in regards to further improvements. Additionally, embedding integration can alert the customer success management team of potential churn, thereby allowing them to implement preventative measures.
To learn more about how a specialized analytics environment can be set up for SaaS apps, join Informatica and Gainsight on April 9th at 10am PDT for an informational webinar Powering Customer Analytics with Embedded Cloud Integration.
Hybrid IT and the Latest Informatica Cloud Release
In a recent Information Management blog post, Alex Bakker from Saugatuck Technology noted:
"There is an underlying problem facing many, if not most enterprise IT leaders and organizations: these technologies [Cloud, Mobile, Social, Analytics and Integration] have developed much faster than enterprise IT groups and practices have been able to adopt and manage them."
Sound familiar? Gartner (and others) have referred to the new reality of enterprise IT as Hybrid IT. At Informatica World next month, we have an entire track on this topic.
The good news is a topic that was once considered the "Achilles heel of cloud computing" is increasingly being recognized as the key enabler of cloud success: integration and data management. With that in mind, Informatica rolled out our Summer 2013 release this week. Here are some highlights and useful resources. (more…)
A Big Hairy Audacious Vision
Integration technologies have been around for 20 years (as long as Informatica has been in business) and have proliferated in corporate IT. We are now at an inflection point in the business needs and maturity of integration best practices which we can call Next Generation Data Integration (DI). If we're going to talk about the next generation, then first we need to put a stake in the ground to describe the current, or prior generation. Furthermore, for it to be a "generational" change, it needs to be a significant step-function improvement in how the work is done and in the business value generated by data assets. Or as Jim Collins said in Built to Last: Successful Habits of Visionary Companies, we need a Big Hairy Audacious Goal. (more…)
Announcing Informatica Cloud Spring 2013
On Wednesday we announced our latest cloud integration release – Informatica Cloud Spring 2013. It's a major step forward in terms of breadth and depth for our software as a service (SaaS) solution. Why, you ask?
- Didn't all of our cloud integration customers get upgraded to the Winter release in November?
- Didn't we just broaden into cloud-based master data management (MDM)?
- Don't we have 3-4 releases per year?
Well, yes…but…there are a few aspects to today's announcement that I think are particularly noteworthy. Here's a summary.
Data Chaos: Public Enemy Number One
This year marks the 20th anniversary for Informatica. Twenty years of solving the problem of getting data from point A to point B, improving its quality, establishing a single view and managing it over its life-cycle. Yet after 20 years of innovation and leadership in the data integration market, when one would think the problem had been solved, all data had been extracted, transformed, cleansed and managed, it actually hasn't — companies still need data integration. Why? Data is complicated business. And with data increasingly becoming central to business survival, organizations are constantly looking for ways to unlock new sources of it, use it as an unforeseen source of insight and do it all with greater agility and at lower cost.

2013 Cloud Data Management Predictions
Ok, I know it's a little late to post 2013 technology predictions, but with so many good ones published already, I figured I'd sandbag a little and not only post a few of my own but also share a few of my favorites so far. For me, it starts with Mary Meeker's Internet Trends presentation. 2013 is going to be a year of "re-imagining" enterprise software, from social, to mobile, to cloud, to Big Data and Analytics.
I summarized my 2012 predictions in an earlier post and Informatica already posted some great predictions from the world of data. Here are my 2013 cloud data management predictions. (more…)

With a gorgeous Tuscan-style courtyard complete with a heated saltwater pool; seven exclusive one- and two-bedroom cottages; top-notch services; and a central location in the French Quarter, the Audubon Cottages is a great pick for travelers looking to splurge. Just note that there are no amenities aside from the pool and that parking is available only at the hotel's sister property a block away.
Located in a lovely residential section of the French Quarter, this 200-room mid-range hotel offers up the old-world charm a visitor to New Orleans might be seeking. A lush interior courtyard with a three-tiered marble fountain serves as the centerpiece for the classic architecture, while a refreshing saltwater pool gives guests a place to cool off after exploring the city's sights (most of which are within walking distance, including the famed Bourbon Street which is just two blocks away). Originally the home of the nation's first cotton press, the hotel features rooms that are small, with dated bathrooms. However, guests will likely enjoy the on-site restaurant and bar, free Wi-Fi, and 24-hour fitness center.
This perfectly adequate mid-range hotel in the Central Business District, a block from the Charles streetcar line, has more history and character than nearby chain hotels. The hotel has made graceful use of the city's first Whitney Bank branch, built around 1890, by preserving much of the old bank's lobby and even restoring its vintage vault as a private dining room. But features are few, and rooms have old tube TVs and no Wi-Fi.
The Hotel Mazarin is an upscale boutique located in the heart of the French Quarter. It features 102 rooms with elegant decor, striking bathrooms, and solid amenities -- including large flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and free Wi-Fi. The property offers wonderful freebies, and a popular wine bar with outdoor seating -- but the highlight here is the gorgeous arched courtyard, a welcome retreat from the crowds of Bourbon Street. Plus, rates are competitive, and location is convenient for those looking to explore the main tourist attractions on foot.
Hotel Le Marais is a mid-range boutique located in the heart of the French Quarter. It offers 66 rooms with great amenities -- including flat-screen TVs, iPod docks, and free Wi-Fi -- and contemporary (if generic) decor. There's a small gym with a decent selection of cardio machines; a colorful bar with a daily happy hour; and great freebies, including free bottled water and free continental breakfast. The highlight here is arguably the lovely courtyard complete with a small heated saltwater pool and tons of loungers.
Loft 523 is the platinum standard of New Orleans' boutique hotels, ushering in sleek, industrial decor (no fussy florals here) in spacious lofted rooms with large, luxurious baths. Because of its size (only 18 rooms), Loft 523 lacks some amenities -- guests will have to go around the corner to sister hotel International House for a restaurant or fitness room -- but room service is available through a popular nearby restaurant, and the property can often be a better overall bargain than a full-service luxury hotel. Partiers will appreciate that hip nightclub Le Phare is attached to the hotel, though room noise levels are louder during club hours.
This classic, 111-room New Orleans boutique hotel is a well-maintained historic property in the French Quarter, just a block from Bourbon Street. Rooms are elegant and charming; some have details such as exposed brick, whirlpool tubs, or balconies. Like most neighborhood hotels, the property surrounds a lovely private courtyard and has a nice on-site bar. It also has a pool, unlike the nearby Hotel Mazarin.
Straddling two busy French Quarter streets, the historic Bienville House is as an urban oasis, with tropical rooftop terraces and a soothing courtyard. This boutique hotel has fewer than 100 rooms, a parlor-like lobby and friendly touches, such as free lemonade and cookies in the afternoon. High ceilings make the rooms feel spacious, but the decor is unremarkable, and Standard Rooms lack windows.
Authentic and funky, this historic boutique -- located in a residential area on the French Quarter's far edge -- allows guests to experience the neighborhood as the locals do. It's also an easy walk to Frenchman Street, an exciting area in the Marigny experiencing a renaissance in live music and tapas-oriented restaurants. But while the old-world decor is charming enough in the lobby, it's less impressive in the slightly worn rooms, and bathrooms are in dire need of renovation.
This Sheraton property is no ordinary chain hotel: It's located on the site of the historic Old French Opera, and today's young opera singers perform in the lobby bar. The hotel's biggest draw, though, is its priceless spot in the heart of Bourbon Street, where a different kind of music keeps the block throbbing. While the Four Points French Quarter is usually priced competitively, you'll pay a premium for coveted Bourbon balcony rooms during special events.

Title Ad Valorem Tax Calculator
Vehicles purchased on or after March 1, 2013 and titled in this state will be exempt from sales and use tax and the annual ad valorem tax. Instead, these vehicles will be subject to a new, one-time title ad valorem tax that is based on the value of the vehicle.
This calculator provides estimates based on information you provide and may be slightly different when your transaction is finalized by your county tag office.
This calculator provides an estimate of the new title ad valorem tax, that will apply to all vehicles purchased in Georgia beginning March 1, 2013.
This calculator provides a comparison between the current annual ad valorem tax and the new one-time title ad valorem tax. This comparison can be used to view an estimate of opt-in credit you may receive for sales tax and ad valorem taxes paid on a vehicle purchased between January 1, 2012 and February 28, 2013. If you decide to opt-in to the title ad valorem tax, you must do so before March 1, 2014.
There are some situations that do not fall under the calculations – such as new residents moving into Georgia, salvage titles, untitled vehicles, trailers, etc. For more information on Title Ad Valorem Tax and FAQs,

Brand New UK - official uk status
The website www.brandnewuk.co.uk has a now growing community of Brand New fans. Many of these being UK based. The website was setup due to a realisation that the band Brand New have no UK fanbase and as such are relativley unknown in the UK. It is now established, running for over a year and having over 12,000 unique visitors to the site. It is felt by many that the website should be of official status as it has never harboured rumours or spread malicious or false information on the band. It could help spread the word about Brand New and help increase the UK fanbase.

Home My Place Home Security Home Emergencies Medical Emergencies
Here are some essential medical emergency procedures to assist you should a serious accident occur at home.
Medical emergencies
In a medical emergency dial 000 and ask for ambulance. This is a free call anywhere in Australia at any time. In a medical emergency there may be a short period of time where those involved in the emergency or those standing nearby will have to take action to help the injured person until professional help arrives.
You should always call an ambulance in the event of an emergency requiring urgent medical attention. Examples of medical emergencies include:
In urgent medical situations it is most important that you ring 000 for an ambulance, do not panic or drive to hospital yourself. People driving themselves to hospital in urgent medical situations have often been in accidents not only risking further injury to themselves, but also to others on the road.
Ambulance officers are highly trained health professionals. They bring modern emergency and resuscitation equipment to the patient and commence lifesaving treatment at the scene as well as continuing this on the way to hospital.
Dial 000
When you call 000 you will be connected to an Ambulance Operations Centre call-taker who will ask you a standard set of questions. Be prepared to answer:
Answering these questions will assist in getting an ambulance to you as quickly as possible. It is important to stay calm, speak slowly and do not hang up. The ambulance call-taker can also provide medical instruction over the phone.
Additional questions may be asked by the operator, who will also provide further assistance or instructions depending on the situation. For example, if you ring about a person suffering from chest pain you may be asked the following additional questions regarding the patient.
This information can then be relayed to ambulance officers who are on their way.
While you wait
Administering immediate first aid in an emergency situation can make a significant difference to someone who is sick or injured. When confronted with an emergency situation remember the D.R.A.B.C:
Call '000' immediately and ask for AMBULANCE.
Check for danger
Look for danger to yourself, bystanders and the patient. If able to do so, remove the patient from danger or the danger from the patient without putting yourself at risk. For example, remove the patient away from a fire, or divert traffic away from an injured patient at a scene.
Check for a response
Identify if the patient is conscious by asking the patient questions such as "open your eyes" or "can you hear me? while gently shaking their shoulders. If conscious, reassure the patient and seek medical advice
If there is no response, carefully roll the patient onto their side, (this is called the recovery position) ensuring that you support the patient's neck. If the patient is in a motor vehicle, gently tilt the head back.
Check the airway
Open the airway by tilting the patient's head back and lifting the chin. Do not perform a head tilt on babies or injured patients.
Check that the airway is not blocked by sweeping the mouth with your fingers removing any solid pieces of food or other things and letting any fluid drain out.
Check breathing
The three principles are 'Look, Listen and Feel':
If the patient is breathing keep them on their side (recovery position). Remain with the patient whilst continuing to monitor them and check the breathing and pulse (on the side of the neck, next to the Adam's Apple) every few minutes until the ambulance arrives.
If the patient is not breathing, turn them onto their back, open the airway by tilting the patient's head back and after lifting their chin, commence EAR (Expired Air Resuscitation) as follows:
In each case ensure that the chest rises and falls with each breath. Re-check breathing, if the patient is still not breathing check for a pulse.
Check circulation
Feel for the pulse located next to the patient's Adam's Apple using your fingers. If there is a pulse but no breathing continue EAR (Expired Air Resuscitation) as follows:
Ensure that the patient's chest rises and falls with each breath. Re-check breathing, if the patient is still not breathing check for a pulse now and every 2 minutes.
If there is no pulse commence CPR immediately.
Give 2 breaths to every 15 compressions (4 times per minute). Compress chest to 1/3 of its depth. Continue to check for a pulse every two minutes.
If the pulse returns but the person has no breathing continue EAR (Expired Air Resuscitation) until the ambulance arrives.
Always stay with the person until help arrives. Keep the ambulance call-taker informed of the patient's condition (if possible ask someone to do this for you).
Check for any visible signs of injury and if present control severe bleeding by applying direct pressure to the affected area. Support broken bones (fractures) by immobilising the limb.

I hate fighters who lick their lips every time they puke out a sentence during televised interviews.
I hate boxers who promise to punish a dude or knock him out, only to (a.) pot-shot their way to a boring decision, or (b.) get humiliated by their opponent while returning little to no offensive firepower in return.
I hate fighters who act like gangsters and come to the ring with some lame rap act like Nelly, and then thank Jesus Christ after the fight was over.
I hate fighters who say they have to talk to their team when asked who they'd like to fight next.
I hate fans who label unproven prospects as GOATS, while dismissing a fighter who has just lost as a bum or never-was.
I hate Atlas, Grey, Tessitore, Lampley, and Kellerman. In that order.
More to come later.

Wow!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumbsup_anim.gif)
There are seriously so many good ones people posted. I am rolling reading these lists, and pretty much all of them are true.
Here are a few more.
Seeing fighters hot bitches in the crowd, and knowing they are only with them cause they are a boxer. Haha
When someone from the announcing team interviews a fighters cornerman DURING the fight.
Not having instant replay to determine head butts, cuts, low blows, etc.
Certain fighters that get away with wearing their cup way up high to protect their body for an unfair advantage.
Judging in general is and has always been flawed for several reasons.

The bane of modern boxing.
it's really taking away from the sport. the undefeated record is meaning more than quality of opposition, how often they fight and their performance.

i remember during the NBA finals some kid had floor seats and was texting during the game. i'll never know what's up with people that spend thousands of dollars on tickets for something just to text.

1. Fighters with no personality
2. People still having the balls to mention Shane Mosley as a potential opponent (Pacquiao was the last to milk that cow, and the milk was sour...leave it alone already)
3. Fighters with no power
4. When cuts end a fight prematurely (doesn't matter if it's a PPV fight or a low-budget fight)
5. Jerry Olaya's interpretations in between rounds (he sums up the hell outta those sentences)
6. Ray Torres's interpretations between heated rounds when he refuses to repeat profanity (c'mon man, I've heard "hijo de puta" a million times in that corner, and you haven't repeated any of it, lol).
7. It kills me how frantic Nacio Beristain is between rounds
8. When Larry Merchant feels out of the loop and tries to shut down the convo between the other two commentators who are talking about something that he knows nothing of. (Lol)
9. Harold Lederman's scorecards, smh. (The only time I somewhat follow it is when I've had oe too many beers and lost track of the fight)
10. That fat dude with the ninja turtle headband on in Pacquiao's corner
11. Larry Merchant's jokes/analogies
12. Not being able to ignore Bernard Hopkins's over-the-top commentary in the crowd during fights. (sit down man)

Moms expecting twins often need a double dose before the babes arrive. Prepping the mama-to-be with twice the good wishes, onesies and diapers will give her a jump start on the juggling act she's about to perform. Check out our fabulous fete to welcome impending multiples! Invitations What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Prepping the mama-to-be with twice the good wishes, onesies and diapers will give her a jump start on the juggling act she's about to perform. Not wanting to create a circus for her before the show, we used calm, muted colors to create a natural and soothing surrounding for this soiree. Bring an aviary touch to the shower and invite the whole gaggle of ladies to celebrate the mom-to-be. But, a lengthy guest list and two impending babies to celebrate doesn't mean the bank will be broken. For this shower, it's all about dividing and conquering. And you can start by downloading this gorgeous free invite! 1 / 6 Decor What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Newborn twins or triplets often mimic baby birds and are smaller and more delicate than their single counterparts. They also tend to gravitate toward one another like sweet little songbirds. You can create a springy centerpiece using tree branches with birds strategically placed on the twigs. The cheerful display will bring life and a central theme to the festivities. To see more ideas for creating a winsome aviary affair, check out our other options. 2 / 6 Food and Beverage What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Now it's time to set a menu for the soirée. While making the grocery list, take the number of guests into account and consider the time of the event.

Though nobody will be announced a winner on the spot, everyone will have a laugh during the activity. 4 / 6 Mama-to-be's Attire What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 When being showered with gifts and adoration, the celebrated mommy should plan to wear something that makes her look and, more importantly, feel fabulous. Since comfort is the name of the game, a whimsical print maxi dress paired with elegant sandals will give the bodacious bod room to move and lounge as she sees fit. Add some flair with a timeless set of baubles and bangles, and mama's good to go! 6 / 6 Favors What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Keeping with the bird theme, I've filled cellophane bags with delicious toasted coconut and seedy trail mix to create a nest appearance. What can often be found in a nest? Gummy worms and colorful jelly beans, of course. Seal the bag with soft toned ribbons and leave them in a basket by the front door.

Alabama certainly has it better than the other participants in this year's beauty pageant. Jumping into the serious discussions are Baylor, which improved its standing after Thursday night's thumping of Oklahoma, and a "We- get-no-respect" Ohio State team.
Despite being unbeaten (8-0) and ranked fifth in the country, Baylor wasn't being included in championship talk. That now changes – at least for a while. Coach Art Briles' offensive juggernaut has scored 488 points in eight games, but the Bears do face a season-ending grind. Still on the schedule are Texas Tech, Oklahoma State, TCU and Texas. The Big 12 doesn't have a championship game.
Now don't forget about Ohio State. The Big Ten isn't shooting on all cylinders these days, but it's hard to find much fault with how the Buckeyes have fared since Urban Meyer came to town. Arriving in 2012, Meyer and Ohio State have marched to 21 consecutive victories. The question from Columbus is clear: How do you leave a team out of the national championship that has gone undefeated over two seasons?
Ohio State has easily winnable games against Indiana, Illinois and Michigan on its schedule. The Big 10 championship, perhaps against Michigan State, could be interesting, though. At this point there's no reason to bet against the Bucks. All of that said, Ohio State is going to need a couple of breaks if it hopes to be playing for the crystal ball.
Other top-notch teams remain on the outside just waiting for a late-season misstep by someone so they can make a last-minute claim.
Besides the four major unbeatens (sorry Northern Illinois and Fresno State), there are still a dozen one-loss teams waiting in the wings – Auburn, Clemson, Central Florida, Louisville, Houston, Ball State, Miami, Michigan State, Missouri, Oklahoma State, Stanford and, oh yes, Oregon.
