Intel Maximizes Power and Thermal Management in an Aging Data Center to Add Needed Servers - Without Expensive New Infrastructure
Download Now Free registration required
Executive Summary
Intel's 20-year-old FM1 data center in Folsom wanted to free up power capacity in an aging data center that is operating near its server limit and ensure there is enough power to support 300 new servers needed for an upcoming SAP re-platforming exercise. The challenge was to do it all with minimal capital investment, since the data center is scheduled to be decommissioned within the next five years. To formulate a strategy for making best use of the data center's existing infrastructure, Intel IT Global Facilities Services carried out a detailed analysis that predicted the effect of adding new servers and compared it to the data center's potential thermal limits.

Former TNA knockout Traci Brooks and Frankie Kazarian recently celebrated their four year anniversary of their wedding.
Mickie James posted a special message on Facebook to let fans know that she has now been in the professional wrestling business for fifteen years.
Through Twitter, the Rock reminisced about his Madison Square Garden debut for WWE back in 1996.
Today marks the eight year anniversary of the death of Eddie Guerrero.
Through Twitter, former WWE star Ted DiBiase revealed that he has now been married for five years now.
While management has given up on the character, WWE will be keeping Sin Cara around because he is featured in the upcoming Scooby Doo movie. Oficials have no plan on bringing the original performer back, so Hunico will have the role until after the movie has been released.
While the masked superstar is still interested in a return, WWE has expressed very little interest in bringing Sin Cara back now that his contract has expired. The belief is that the company can save a good amount of money by using Hunico instead.
With his contract expired, Sin Cara is officially gone from WWE. The masked star acknowledges that Hunico has been working under the mask since his departure, and he has been encouraging fans to let the company know that he is missed.
Despite being replaced by Hunico under the mask on WWE shows, the original Sin Cara has still been posting pictures of himself with the mask on Twitter. The company is planning on keeping the character even after his contract expires in a few days.
The contract that Sin Cara signed with WWE is set to expire at the end of December, and management is leaning towards letting the performer leave while retaining the rights to utilize the character with Hunico.
In a rather strange move, WWE has decided to address internet rumors and released a statement, revealing that Sin Cara is still under contract to the promotion, even though Hunico has been portraying the character as of late.
Wrestling fans saw the return of Sin Cara on Monday Night Raw this week, but it was actually Hunico under the mask, as WWE is currently having issues with the normal performer.
Hunico and Camacho returned to WWE and taped a match for the Main Event.

Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, Lucas County Treasurer Wade Kapszukiewicz and others are calling on JP Morgan Chase to commit money for community redevelopment efforts in Ohio in the wake of the national foreclosure crisis.
They urge the company to commit to "the Ohio Plan," which is aimed at committing $200 million out of $4 billion designated for consumer relief, following a recent foreclosure fraud settlement between the company and the U.S. Department of Justice. The plan calls for using that money for demolition and renovation of eyesore homes, foreclosure prevention programs, and helping turn around land left vacant by demolished homes.
"We can use it to fix up homes, where that can be done in order to reposition our neighborhoods for the future. This is a small down payment that JP Morgan Chase owes us," said Kaptur.
"It's all about helping people in neighborhoods who through no fault of their own have seen their values go down as eyesores and blight come to the community," explained Kapszukiewicz.
Ohio Senators Rob Portman and Sherrod Brown have also contacted the company in hopes of having the Ohio plan approved and funded.

Hi all! No, there's still no more Bret Braddock comics, though I've dearly wanted to do a couple more after talking with certain people recently (idiots).
One nice commenter on the Braddock show trailer on YouTube, Sara B, asked if she could have the theme music in it as a ringtone. Of course she can! And so can you. Enjoy Eddie A. Falcon's velvet throat, or (as I'm doing) annoy people near your ringing phone with a version unadulterated by tacky vocals.
- The Magic Kofta (theme music)
- The Magic Kofta (instrumental version)
Reminder: you can get copies of The Bret Braddock Adventures book 1 and 2 from the good people at All Star Comics and also here, online. Thankfully, there's not many left!

It means I can be reliable and also meet my committments to myself and to others. On the con side it makes life that all that little bit too predictable. And the problem with predictablitiy is that you become removed from real life. I like structure as it helps me organise my time and have a disciplined approached to things I am learning but I'd like to also be natural.

The Haynes family minus my wife Sandra (she was asleep) had some star gazing time at 2:30 AM this early tax day 2014. We were able to shoot this picture with my son Joey's cell phone camera through his telescope (he did all the work...I was there for moral support). It was an amazing sight to say the least! The beauty of the picture made the 30 degree chill worth the photography challenge.
Here's the 7 day forecast.

If you missed it during yesterday's Sony PlayStation E3 media briefing, Bungie and Activision have now released a standalone version of the E3 2014 trailer for Destiny, the ambitious open world sci-fi FPS from the creators of Halo.
From the ruins of humanity's past, Guardians rise. To defend our home. To explore our lost worlds. To give us hope.Titled "New Beginnings" the three and a half minute clip shows an assortment of scenes from the lush space shooter ahead of the closed alpha test scheduled to kick off this Friday, and a beta test due next month.
Destiny is coming to PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One on September 9th, but there's sadly still no word on a PC offering.

Sucks when you get in trouble for breakin da law, breakin da law.
oh man it sucks that your lead singer got busted for breaking the law
who could have seen that coming
and: I totally do not buy your "it was tobacco in that weed pipe, I swear" excuse
totes do not buy that
i don't think the op has any reason to lie to social entropy ++
Really Kosh?
Tell me your story about battle of the bands.
"Sorta, almost" smelled like it? What, was there a cop who tackles every smoker and looks for blood shot eyes there? Story feels awfully incomplete.
I am under lawn
ironyyyyyyyyyyboth sides were found to sound retarded over a trivial matter
the cop holds it under his nose
and takes a whiff
this almost sort of smells like weed
you're under arrest
the cop holds it under his nose
and takes a whiff
this almost sort of smells like weed

I noticed! Just wondering more about the circumstances.
It's cool my band won anyway
You really just spared yourselves the embarrassment

I am an assistant professor at University of Toronto.
I did my postdoc with Prof. Sven Dickinson at University of Toronto. I finished my PhD in 2010 at University of Ljubljana in the group of Prof. Ales Leonardis. In 2010, I was visiting
Prof. Trevor Darrell's group at the International Computer Science Institute (ICSI) as well as at UC Berkeley. In 2012/2013 I was a research assistant professor at Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago.
More information is in my cv.
Research interests
My main research interests are object detection, particularly scalable multi-class detection, 3D object recognition and detection, object and scene segmentation, and (3D) scene understanding. I am also interested in the interplay between language and vision: generating sentential descriptions from complex scenes, as well as using sentential descriptions for better scene parsing (for example, in the scenario of the human-robot interaction).

Hallelujah Lyrics - Cracker
D We sang Halle-G-lujah, has it stopped D raining?
Though the D priest had stopped be-Em-lieving a long time a-A-go
And his com-Bm-panion began to A laugh at the i-D-rony o' G that
And we D walked along in Em an un-G-confortable D silence
Yeah Bm ha- ha- ha- A hallelu-D-jah
Bm ha- ha- ha- A hallelu-G-jah D
St. Patrick led the sailor into the wasteland
A herd of swine surrounded them one day
It was the answer to their prayers, a sure sign that God, he cared
But McCarthy disagreed: it's not that simple
So hallelujah
The fisherman, he rode the city's river
The dirty water rose through sorry planks
And the vandal Moranjou? 'pon Gay St. heard the news
sponsored linksThey commissioned him to rise up from the cobbles
Yeah Bm ha-A-llelu-D-jah
Bm ha-A-llelu-D-jah
Bm ha-A-llelu-G-jah D

Ronan Coghlan (born 1948) is an Irish writer living in Bangor, County Down in Northern Ireland.
Coghlan was born Dublin in 1948. He graduated from Trinity College, Dublin (MA, Higher Diploma in Education).
Coghlan has worked as a schoolmaster in a large number of schools and is married with three children. He is a regular lecturer at The Weird Weekend, an event under the aegis of the Centre for Fortean Zoology. He is known for his unorthodox views on education and his generally eccentric personality. His wide variety of interests include the paranormal, theology, biblical studies, onomastics, mythology, folklore, medieval legend and etymology. His best selling book has been "Encyclopaedia of Arthurian Legends" which sold 120,000 copies worldwide and has been translated into Japanese and Hungarian.
For a time he was the proprietor of Excalibur Books, a mail-order business.
In 2005 Coghlan founded a private publishing house under the name of Xiphos Books. The titles issued under this imprint are those which would probably not be commercially viable if issued by a mainstream publisher. They include a new edition of Jonathan Downes' book on UFOs, The Rising of the Moon.
He has contributed a number of entries to the Almanach de Bruxelles and he also supplied information for the second edition of Donald Tuck's Encyclopedia of Science Fiction and Fantasy.
His works include:
- Encyclopedia of Arthurian Legends (1991)
- Dictionary of Irish Myth and Legend (1979)

Question: what do you call something like a telethon which is on radio instead of television?
I've just noticed that Wiktionary says that the "tele" is for telephone rather than television, but which page is right?
- Answer: "tele" mean from far away televison is vison from far away
- I know that, but it doesn't really answer the question. This entry says it's from "television", not "tele".
- Another answer: The most common name I've heard is "radiothon." Non-commercial radio stations often use them to raise their operating budget (fully or partially) for the coming year. Some religious stations will use catchy names such as "Share-a-thon" (used by a station where I worked), "care-a-thon," and so on. Realkyhick 04:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Most Successful Telethon[edit]
Question: How has it been decided that the Australian telethon is the most successful per capita in the world? It raised $3 million Australian, and Western Australia has a population of more than 2,000,000 people. Telemiracle in Saskatchewan, Canada raised $3,500,000(Canadian) in 2004, and that province has a population of roughly 990,000 people.
- Sounds like your right, the statement was unsourced too so I removed it... Nil Einne 11:49, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
- The statement is indeed correct, and I have now re-added it with a link to the official website. [1] Australian-Media.com.au 01:18, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- Yes it is indeed correct, i belive it has been calculated from its 40 year history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 06:45, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
- AU$3M / $2M inh. = AU$ 1.5 per inh, i.e. US$ 1.37 per inhabitant each year (for a volume of about US$ 2.73M).
- Compare to France : about EUR 100 M (about US$ 150M) for 65 M inhabitants, gives EUR 1.54 per inhabitant, i.e. US$ 2.31 per inhabitant each year (about 68% more than Australia).
- France's Telethon (which occurs on the same day also in Belgium and Switzerland, where France Television programs are also received, but conducting their own collect) is both the largest (more than twice in financial volume than USA, with only about 6 times less inhabitants...) and the most successful in terms of financial results per inhabitant each year. It is also supporting the most important research projects and has created several research centers (half of the collected money is for the fundamental research on genetics and treatments, more one third is for social care and medical assitance of illed people and their family). And it is not the only one project that receives donations (France's Telethon represents about 5% of donations to foundations of public interest). It also largely collaborates with other European Telethons or medical foundations, notably in Italy, UK, Germany, Spain, Netherlands : something essential because most programs require cooperation on larger scale than a single country where there are not enough people to get valuable experience with meaningful scientific results. It has contributed the most important results to the humane genome offered to the world, and not controlled by private laboratories (working on the FULL humane genome, not just a few separate sequences like in US). verdy_p (talk) 07:55, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yes it is indeed correct, i belive it has been calculated from its 40 year history. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 18.104.22.168 (talk) 06:45, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

- The above mentioned telethons are not even close. The Chile helps Chile telethon to help victims of the 2010 Chile earthquake raised US$90m in a country of 17 million people yielding US$5.3/person! GringoInChile (talk) 18:06, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
- I think the whole discussion above reveals why we should rely on quality RS, which does not include telethon organiser websites. Even local news papers around the time of a telethon should be used with caution since it isn't unheard of for such sources to parrot what they're told by organisers particularly in 'feel good' cases like telethons without sufficient fact checking. Nil Einne (talk) 21:29, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
Telethon histories outside the U.S. (expansion needed)[edit]
I've updated the section about the history of telethons in the United States, but we need some folks from around the world to give some info about telethons elsewhere. Realkyhick 04:02, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
Endangered children?[edit]
- Telethons have also been held for endangered children on Israeli channel 2
I think something has been lost in translation here. What's an endangered child? This makes them sound like they're some sort of seperate subspecies at risk of extinction. I presume it means something like orphans or children living in poverty or something of that sort but I don't speak Hebrew or know much about Israel Nil Einne 11:41, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
- Not sure why it didn't occur to me at the time, but may be it meant 'at risk' children a poorly defined but common terminology. Even that being the case, it would still be helpful to specify precisely who the target is. Nil Einne (talk) 22:02, 10 July 2013 (UTC)
Animal welfare Issues[edit]
What about criticism from animal welfare movements? It seems there is no reference about it on the article.--Pokipsy76 (talk) 11:27, 26 December 2007 (UTC)
NPOV issue in the intro[edit]
Could someone with editing privileges delete the phrase "allegedly worthy" from the introduction. It violates WP: NPOV. We don't need a qualifier to go with the word "cause" and both words express POV. 188.8.131.52 (talk) 20:47, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
Yet again there's too much focus on the USA[edit]
Will Wikipedia ever get it right? The world is not the USA. The English-speaking world is also not just the USA. The history section only talks about the USA. And then in the country specifics section the first country is - you guessed it - the USA. OK so maybe America (North and South) comes first alphabetically but USA certainly isn't the first alphabetically within the Americas. Articles or sections which only cover the USA or which don't make any attempt to be accessible to the rest of the world should be deleted.--126.96.36.199 (talk) 18:50, 17 December 2011 (UTC)
Thank you very much song[edit]
If anyone could find them, more details on the 'thank you/u very much for your kind donation' tune would be useful. It was used for telethons in the NZ but our article says without sources also in Australia. Our article also appears to be misleading, it implies the tune originated with the Australian telethons, this seems to be quite misleading as the music seems to be basically the same and the chorus only slightly modified from the The Scaffold song Thank U Very Much which came out before the stated date for the Australian telethon. These sources [2] [3] seem to confirm the linkage to the Scaffold song although don't mention any Australian contributor. That said, even though the first is giving credit due to copyright reasons, it's possible that if there was an Australian contributor they simply did not require credit. (This OR suggests the tune was used in 1976 [4], I would guess it was probably from the first in 1975.) it's of course the tune was used in a telethon or elsewhere outside NZ or Australia although I haven't been able to find any evidence of that, then again I'm not sure if using Google UK without an account is enough to convince Google that I don't want results tailored to me in NZ.

I thought they would at least fix the stupid laser bug. I don't want people abusing that what a pain.
Someone doesn't devtracker: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/board/...8#post35719068
Ha I love you........in a non sexual way but thanks ok I guess I should devtracker.
Actually I posted in the patch notes thread about that, I even linked that exact dev post. The question I asked is if the notes omitted that because they pulled it at the last second or if it was just missed in the notes.
It's not clear which is which. ManWolfAxeBoss could be thinking it went in to the patch but got cut, or Morello could have posted patch notes that missed it. Won't know without clarification.
Don't you know? Riot doesn't even consider Dom to be worthy of patch note.

The play's form was revolutionary. All the major characters talk directly to the audience, telling us what they are thinking, and their thoughts often contradict what they are saying. At its centre, as with so many O'Neill plays, is a woman. The conventional wisdom is that O'Neill's endless fascination with women stems from his inability to understand his drug-addicted mother or any of his three wives. I am beginning to wonder, on the strength of this rediscovery of Strange Interlude whether, in fact, he simply didn't like the entire gender. What has always seemed a strength — the flaws in his women which make them interesting theatrically and psychologically — is in fact a weakness, just the inability to see what makes us different from men.
Times were different then. The 20s did not, in fact, roar. Women were, if you believe O'Neill, saints or whores. At the core of Strange Interlude is Nina, who is neither, but O'Neill couldn't help condemning her for her sexual freedom and, as in so many of his other plays, the plot is about her manipulation of the men who love her. In truth, in Anne-Marie Duff's portrait of her, she is unacceptably hard and cold, her coolness exacerbating O'Neill's possible dislike of her. You may well ask why a playwright would write about so many women he didn't care for but, remember, not caring for is not the same as not caring about. In Strange Interlude more than perhaps in any of his greater plays, it is as if he genuinely has no idea, up to the end of the play, how Nina got to be the way she is, nor what the curiously flawed but beautiful woman will turn into, even after he's written it.
Not one but two professionals are credited in the Old Vic's printed program for Tennessee Williams' Sweet Bird of Youth with voice and dialect coaching but, except for the two leading roles, taken by Kim Cattrall and Seth Numrich, who are both Americans (although Cattrall was born in the UK), the Southern accents of the cast wouldn't fool a four-year old. My American guest was snorting with suppressed giggles as each new character failed to find the Deep South in their assorted voice boxes.

First Generation,
Low Income Partnership
Welcome to our website!
Check Out
-Celebrating the "S" Bomb Symposium
-FLIP Core Application
-Congratulations to our endorsed ASSU candidates
Visit the website to remain up-to-date with group events, and resources.
FLIP's awesome mission is to raise awareness about class issues, build a first generation and/or low income community that transcends all barriers, foster an open and respectful campus environment, engage in a cross-class dialogue, advocate on behalf of the community, lead service projects pertaining to these issues, and empower first generation low income students at Stanford.
Any Stanford University student, graduate or undergraduate, who is interested in the issues raised by FLIP may become a member. One must not necessarily be from the first generation, low income community to do so.
Mission Statement
Congratulations to our endorsed ASSU candidates!
Celebrating the "S" Bomb
Symposium Title : Celebrating the "S" Bomb: Crucial Skills and Conversations on Class, Privilege and Diversity.
Many Stanford Students, Faculty, Staff and Alum talk of the impact of the Stanford name, aka the "S" Bomb. How often have you had to respond to: "We won't hold that against you." The "that" being "Stanford," class, privilege, educational heritage (first in their family to attend a four year University), race, gender, diversity? How do you navigate conversations and situations where these matters are brought up in jest or seriousness? We would like to use this forum to bring a diverse group of students together to learn through skills development workshops and dialog.
Theme : Real talk about privilege derived from various identities, including but not limited to: class, financial, gender, sexuality, race, ability - physical, emotional, mental, academic, athletic, etc., educational heritage, Stanford. We want connect these diverse privileges with the automatic and ultimately uniting privilege derived from a being a member of the Stanford community. Why do so many Stanford students not self-disclose their campus affiliation because they've experienced the "S" bomb aftermath, where they are viewed by the Stanford label (which may carry a negative connotation of elitism) than for the individuals they are? How can we navigate this privilege?
Goal: Learn skills for these crucial conversations through workshops, research and sharing experiences. In addition to the discussion with our wonderful panelists and moderator, multiple workshops (see below) will foster real conversation and teach skills that can be utilized to a) empathize with this myriad of privileges, and b) learn how to understand and navigate them in various contexts.
Tentative Agenda:
2 p.m.
Welcome for Students (Panelists are welcome to join us for any of the workshops)
2.15 - 3.15 p.m.

FLIP Core Applications
Thank you for considering applying to be on FLIP Core for the 2012-2013 academic year.
The First Generation, Low Income Partnership (FLIP) is a relatively new student organization dedicated to supporting Stanford students who are the first in their families to attend college and/or who come from low income backgrounds. Part of what we do is create safe spaces to discuss issues relevant to our community in order to combat the stigma we might face, promote discussion of socioeconomic class and education access, and advocate for resources. We work closely with Tommy Woon, the recently-hired Associate Dean and Director of Diversity and First Generation Programs, in supporting this mission.
Two positions are open Sib Community Coordinator and Internal Community Coordinator. Note that the application is divided into two sections: general questions required of all applicants, and questions specific to the different positions. However, if you check the box to be considered for all positions, you do not need to fill out any of the position-specific questions.
The application is due Friday, April 20th, 2012 at 5 pm. There will be a 2-hour Core retreat to be scheduled that will welcome and begin the transitioning process for the new Core. Shadowing of current Core officers will happen throughout Spring Quarter. Please include in your application whether either of these things present a conflict for you.
Please direct any questions to current Co-Presidents Lena Sweeney at email@example.com or Najla Gomez at firstname.lastname@example.com. You do not need to be first gen or low income to serve on Core, all that is required is a commitment to FLIP's mission and values.
FLIP Core
Every FLIP endorsed candidates won. We look forward to the work they will do for Stanford next year.

It's that time of year. Creepy crawlies are out in large numbers, and more than likely, bugs are making their way into your home.
Some experts say, if you don't want to fork out the cash to hire an exterminator, there are steps you can take to make sure your home is safe.
"Our home defense by Ortho, it comes in a spray or a granule. And what it is, is it's indoor outdoor use spray. It works as like a barrier fence," says Ace Hardware Assistant Manager Steven Kukes.
Kukes says in most cases, you can use store bought pest controls efficiently, to protect your home from pests.

5 USUCS again. Same as previous 16 years. I must really SUC then, or is it the 2 1/2% quota?
I definitely agree. I have hunted many of the top rated units in many states, as well as mediocre ones. There's no doubt the best value are the mediocre units you can hunt frequently and get to...
18 for me. If they go to point banking we'll be jumping on board with that immediately. Just a better use of the points. From what I've read on 61 archery it's far from worth waiting 20 years! ...
Nothing for me in Wyoming. Mt. Emily is my last gasp for a draw tag. Otherwise it will be my first try at OTC CO archery elk. That would not be so bad. Never had to revert to it in 20 years. ...
No deer tag for me. Down to just one realistic chance. Waiting on Oregon elk.
Then you should go do some OT, or your neglected housework. I will watch the draw results for you.
You guys are pathetic, acting like kids. It's a Thursday. Get back to work! .......... (but first somebody post a link to the results page!).
Looks like we'll find out Wyoming deer & lope results before Oregon posts. 10 AM.
I got ~30% chance for deer, with options running out. We'll see 11 CST.
WB, Thank you for knowing the difference between lose & loose. Was starting to go bonkers from my bowhunting brethren lately.
Finally got my last out of state applications submitted today. AZ sheep & deer. Since burning deer points last year I put in for Coues now. Official end of app season for me. Now can concentrate...
I should have about a 30% chance at the NR Mt. Emily archery elk tag so I am ready to hear the news.
Finally WY forum getting interesting.
It's now Friday and there's still only one "2014 Wyoming Draw Results Coming Soon!" thread? Too many sticks in the mud here. I'm going back to the Nevada forum!
I wish we could get more "2014 Wyoming Draw Results Coming Soon" threads going on here so I don't forget to check the results. When Nevada was posted I got a text message from a hunting buddy, but...
Nevada screwed up and and inadvertantly awarded my sheep tag to someone else for the 15th straight year. Go figure.
Which one? They are all so good.
Everyone is too busy posting on this thread to check if results are posted yet.
Hey I'm thinking of printing T-shirts that say "2014 Nevada Draw Results Coming Soon". Wanted to get an idea of how many of you guys might be interested for say $19.99 + shipping & handling?
Just wanted to remind everyone NV's draw will be posted in less than 24 hours. I know, I know, but there's no need to thank me for reminding you. It's just hunters helping hunters.
Well struck out on WY, AZ & NM elk so I went ahead and applied for the Mt. Emily archery elk with 16 pts. I don't even know if I have a chance for it. HF claims there's only one NR tag and it goes...
I'll take the $10 in beer.
With all due respect, step back and look again. From everything I have read, this is by no means a slammer hunt. In 2013 the prize for beating 1 in 561 or 1 in 627...
I live in Illinois, and have been elk hunting out west for almost 20 years. I am very glad the state reestablished them, and glad they are doing well. However, no way do I waste my time applying...

Billy Pearson, a former jockey whose knowledge of art won him the top prize on the television game show "The $64,000 Question" in 1956, died Thanksgiving Day of pneumonia at his Kingston, N.Y., home. He was 82.A native of Chicago, Pearson started his riding career in 1939 and rode into the 1950s. His mounts included California stakes winners Moonrush and Blue Reading. The former equaled Seabiscuit's track record in winning the 1949 Bay Meadows Handicap.Pearson, who also rode in Europe as well as in Egypt and the Far East, first became interested in art after buying a house for his mother and outfitting it with antiques. He chose "Great Art and Artists" for "The $64,000 Question" and won over a field of contestants that include Ida Mae Sherburne. The 76-year-old resident of Nicholasville, Ky., chose "The Sport of Kings" category.(The questions that Sherburne correctly answered in one of the preliminary rounds were:
1) At what track is the Grand National Steeplechase run?
2) Name the races which comprise the Triple Crown?
3) Name the only filly and the only imported horse ever to win the Kentucky Derby?
4) In what years did Man o' War race, how many races did he win, and what was the only horse ever to beat him?
5) Name seven of the eight Triple Crown winners and give the year in which each won the Triple Crown?).Pearson used part of his earnings to buy more art. He later experienced tax problems and appeared on "The $64,000 Challenge," which he won. His autobiography "Don't Look Back" profiled his free-spirited attitude in life and the race track. Pearson continued to collect art, and bought and refurbished houses to display the collectibles. In 1996, he was named one of the top 100 collectors in the U.S. by Art & Antiques magazine.Married six times, Pearson is survived by his wife of 21 years, Margaret, and four daughters.

Ominous Tone On First Day Of Hurricane Season
Although it's been far from perfect, elected leaders around southeast Louisiana are pleased with the progress in the Katrina recovery. But on the first day of hurricane season 2012, many of them used ominous words warning people to be prepared in case another big storm heads our way.
"If it happens again, people aren't going to come back and build a second time," Jefferson Parish President John Young told the crowd at the Port of New Orleans offices Friday morning.
The parish leaders spent the day traveling from location to location, reviewing the improvements in our hurricane protection system. But the Corps of Engineers is also telling people to change the way they view the so-called 100 year storm protection system -- implying that there are no guarantees. "We used to call it a protection system. It's not a hurricane protection system. It's a hurricane risk reduction system," said Col. Ed Fleming.Copyright © 2014, The Morning Call

Just a year ago, Sharper Image Corp. and Lands' End were speaking blasphemy about cutting catalog pages to fund expansion on the Web. But Internet sales, though soaring, represent just 10% of both companies' revenues today. And the cutbacks have proved harder to pull off in the face of declining revenue.
Sharper Image, home of trendy high-tech gadgets, has trimmed catalog pages by 30%-from an average of 76 to 52 per issue. Yet the company raised circulation by 40%. "We were trying to find a balanced way to reach more people," explains Kathryn Grant, senior manager of Internet strategy.
Was the strategy an attempt to segue from catalog to Web and reach new customers? "We wanted to bring in more customers from a broader market," Grant says. "We concentrated on the products we design and manufacture ourselves, which are among our most popular."
In fact, the company has found it's better to cross-pollinate between catalog and Web site, rather than replacing one with the other. "We run an ad in the catalog promising a $2 discount on shipping for Web site customers," Grant says. It also conducted a sweep-stakes promoted in all three venues.
Up 479% last year, the Internet is the fastest growing piece of Sharper Image's business. But the bulk of the company's revenue comes from its 87 stores, with a quarter coming from the catalogs. "However," Grant adds, "about 70% of the customers we get through the Web site are new to us, making this a very cost-effective way to get new business."
Cutting catalog pages is becoming a pattern, says Maxwell Sroge, a catalog and Internet consultant based in Evanston, Ill. "Williams-Sonoma, Lands' End and Eddie Bauer all have done it," he says. Sroge quickly points out that direct marketers can never eliminate catalogs entirely. "Some of their lists are so productive that would never happen." Last quarter, though, he says 34% of Williams-Sonoma's new business came from its Web site. "At half the acquisition cost."
A spokeswoman at Lands' End, Dodgeville, Wis. says the company sees a spike in Web sales when catalogs mail, so synergy exists. Circulation is up 6% this year. As for pages, "we are trying to decide how many are enough."

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We ordered this invitation and RSVP card in Almond with a solid almond back on the matte white stock, and could not be more pleased with the decision! The design is so lovely, just perfect for my daughter's outdoor garden-style wedding. It has just the right soft, vintage feel we were looking for. The paper quality is excellent, they look and feel great. The design review process is extremely helpful - our reviewer made a couple of changes that improved what we had submitted - and the turnaround was incredibly fast. The final product was exactly what we expected and were hoping for ... no complaints or disappointment whatsoever. We highly recommend this product!"
"The paper quality is excellent. The reviewer worked with me several times to get the colors exactly right. I am so happy with this card and the RSVP cards as well."
"I love that you can customize the back of this invite. It was very helpful so that I could put a lot of information about the flow of the day and where my guests could go for more information. The address that I had printed on the back of the external envelope was a bit crooked, but if I had more time, I would have sent them back. Other than that, I am very happy. This invite has a vintage and modern garden-y feel at the same time."
"The basic envelopes are just basic; thin and normal. Next time I would spend more for better ones; wedding envelopes should be pretty and nice and heavy."
"We really love this invitation! The plum colored option matched our theme and brightened up the invitation while it was still subtle. We were afraid if we did not upgrade the paper weight that the invitation would be somewhat flimsy, but the weight of the standard paper was perfect! We were also afraid that the format would not provide all of the necessary information, but it definitely worked for us. We can't wait to hear from our invitees! :)"

The U.S. Senate plans to hold hearings next month on whether the College Bowl Alliance is "a monopoly that should be broken," according to Lee Davidson of the DESERET NEWS. U.S. Sen. Bob Bennett (R-UT) is one of four senators who had "pushed" for the hearing and was "elated" that Sen. Mike DeWine (R-OH) agreed to hold a hearing before his Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Antitrust. Bennett has charged the Alliance with working to ensure "traditional powerhouses control the most lucrative bowls." In a letter to Bennett, DeWine stated "It is clear that you have raised an important issue worth serious investigation" (DESERET NEWS, 4/16).

Vance McCullough, the voice of @XFINITYSports, delivers his analysis of the five key games to watch online, paired with five Twitter follows to give you insider information on the matchup. Have a matchup that you'd like Vance to feature? Tweet @XFINITYSports with the hashtag #5ToFollow.
1. West Brom vs. Aston Villa
Details: Monday, November 25 @ 1:00 PM ET - The Hawthorns - West Bromwich, West Midlands, U.K.
Watch Here: NBCSN with XFINITY
Why Watch: The West Midlands derby is going to be a clash of two teams look to climb into the top half of the Premier League table. These two clubs are historically great rivals and this match will show it in stiff competition. Villa will welcome back the Prem's most dominant keeper, Brad Guzan, who has stopped a leading 37 shots on goal this season. Look for an aggressive attack from Brom's leading scorer, Saido Berahino, as he'll likely test Guzan in his first game back from injury. It's going to be a great go between two rivals Monday afternoon on the #BPLonNBC!
#5ToFollow Insider: Martin Laurence - @martinlaurence7
Martin Laurence is the Editor in Chief of @WhoScored. He's a lover of the beautiful game and all the stats that come along with it. Follow Laurence for an insightful look into the analytics of the #BPL.
Follow: @martinlaurence7
2. Minnesota vs. Syracuse
Details: Monday, November 25 @ 5:30 PM ET - Lahaina Civic Center - Maui, HI
Watch Here: ESPN2 on XFINITY
Why Watch: The Maui Invitational gets underway with the Golden Gophers and No. 9 Orange tipoff on ESPN2. The Orange have won all five of their games this year, and are lead by their big man on the block, C.J. Fair (18 ppg, 6 rpg). Minnesota brings a similar 5-0 record to the game Monday night and they've been winning with strong defense. The Gophers lead the Big Ten in steals (44) and are allowing just 61.6 points per game. Every Maui Invitational Syracuse has played in, they've won, but Monday's game could be different. Watch the #ACC vs. the #BigTen live on ESPN2.
#5ToFollow Insider: ESPN College Basketball - @ESPNCBB
For the official hashtag of the game, the top stats on the hardwood, and everything trending online, follow ESPN's college basketball crew.
Follow: @ESPNCBB
3. San Francisco 49ers vs. Washington Redskins
Details: Monday, November 25 @ 8:30 PM ET - FedEx Field - Landover, MD
Watch Here: ESPN on XFINITY
Why Watch: These two quarterbacks are going to be fun to watch on Monday Night Football. RG3 is an electric player who's athleticism can only be matched by Colin Kaepernick. While these two QBs will get a lot of the talk, the running backs have my eye. Alfred Morris is carrying the load for Washington, toting the mail 181 times on the year for 918 yards. Can he crack the 1,000 yard mark against the Niners defense? The 49ers and Gore are once again running to the playoffs, with Frank finding the end zone seven times for the third straight season.

Watch Here: FoxSports1 on XFINITY
Why Watch: UEFA Champions League Soccer kicks off on Fox Sports 1 Tuesday afternoon and we get a rematch of one of the biggest upsets in play this year, FC Basel 2-1 over Chelsea. That match was decided in the second half, with both of Basel's goals coming after the 70th minute. The revenge factor will weigh in as Chelsea will like to return the feeling of losing on home soil to Basel Tuesday afternoon, but a win won't come easy. Make sure you're streaming the #UCL on FS1 when Chelsea and FC Basel play Tuesday.

5. Anaheim Ducks vs. Dallas Stars
Details: Tuesday, November 26 @ 8:00 PM ET - American Airlines Center - Dallas, TX
Watch Here: NBCSN with XFINITY
Why Watch: The puck drops in Dallas Tuesday night as the NHL's sole game gets underway on NBC. It's going to be a fun watch as some of the best goal scorers will hit the ice. The Ducks bring a dominant duo of right winger Corey Perry, and center Ryan Getzlaf - each with 13 goals on the year. The Stars center, Tyler Seguin, has found the back of the net 12 times this season and Jamie Benn has seven goals. It could be a high scoring affair as the #NHLonNBC takes off on Tuesday night.
