Welcome to Johnny Unitas Stadium at Towson University, Terry Foy coming at you live for the PNC MIAA A Conference Championship featuring the St. Paul's Crusaders (14-4) and Boys' Latin Lakers (16-3).
It's a rivalry, a meeting of top seeds, features three Under Armour All-Americans (Keenan, Powderly and Foster) and a rematch of an unbelievably exciting triple overtime comeback that BL took at home. This one's got all the makins.
TV crews are in attendance, but the game's tape-delayed tomorrow on Comcast Sports Net locally (or nationally if you have the sports pack), so this blog's the best source for live updates.
We're 15 minutes out from face-off, so let's get to the starting line-ups.
Boys' Latin
A-Kevin O'Neil
A-Wells Stanwick
A-Patrick Foster
M-RG Keenan
M-Jeff Chase
M-Ryan Rubenstein
D-Joey Weidner
D-Ben Kellar
D-Mac Pons
G-Thomas Guarino
St. Paul's
A-Taylor Michel
A-Jeff Fountain
A-Jay Carlson
M-Andrew Barton
M-Alex Chay
M-Pat Powderly
D-Draper Donley
D-Alec Mitchell
D-David Mitchell-McShane
G-Gunner Waldt
The rains have started, but that hasn't deterred the crowd.
First Quarter
11:30 Not surprisingly, Boys' Latin wins the opening face-off, but turns the ball over before settling in their offense.
10:45 St. Paul's has troubling clearing, nearly losing the ball out of bounds then trying a tough over-the-shoulder pass that isn't handled, and BL gets the ball back. Jeff Chase lefty crank from about 15 yards on the slow break. BL 1-0
9:39 St. Paul's, in their visiting blue unis, wins the subsequent draw and gets their first shot, an alley dodge by Andrew Barton that goes wide, then turns the ball over.
8:30 BL fails to clear, St. Paul's ball with midies Zack Linkous taking a shot off the crossbar. St. Paul's retains possesion, then turns it over on their own endline. Five turnovers already.
8:16 BL middie Marcellus Preston gets pushed at midfield by defenseman Wyatt Land, and the Lakers will be man-up for 30.
7:41 With the penalty releasing, Patrick Foster took a pass on the right post from Wells Stanwick on the point, did a nice spin move, and beat Waldt up high. BL 2-0
7:13 Keenan won the draw forward and O'Neil's shot goes just high.
6:38 St. Paul's got the ball back when a BL Pass went to the midline and a Laker stepped offside, and Chay finished a nice shot up high off a pass from Barton. BL 2-1
5:03 BL won the draw and settled the ball in the zone, but some good SPS defense kept the Lakers from getting any good looks.
3:44 St. Paul's cleared but couldn't retain possession. BL cleared successfully, Foster set up at back right, drove the pipe and finished down low with an effort that took him to the ground. BL 3-1
3:04 St. Paul's answered by winning the violation. They had a pretty chaotic possession with the ball down behind the goal, but Dan Gutberlet came away with a goal and finished from X up high despite Guarino getting a piece of the shot. BL 3-2
1:29 SP won the draw, both teams traded possessions, and the Crusaders settlined in their offensive zone after backing up a transition shot.
:57 The Crusies will go man up after for 30 seconds after Michel draws a push on Weidner.
:09 St. Paul's didn't get anything on the EMO as Michel put a shot wide, but back it up and get a goal from attackman Jeff Fountain coming from X. 3-3
:00 No threats before the quarter break. Significant stats are nearly even across the board.
Second Quarter
11:30 Keenan wins the opening draw for BL and takes a shot that goes high.
10:30 St. Paul's does a good job sliding and recovering, and the Crusies get the ball back when Draper Donley desticks Stanwick and gets the ball off the rug.
9:27 St. Paul's clears, settles in and puts a shot wide, but it's backed up. Michel gives the ball to BL when he takes a diving shot and lands in the crease.
7:52 BL turns the ball back over without taking a shot. St. Paul's D is locked in.
7:06 Spencer Parks rips a shot low and just wide. St. Paul's backs up.
6:30 BL gets the ball back on a moving screen, but promptly turns it over. Things are getting sloppy as the rain has slowed to a mist.
4:30 BL got the ball back, cleared, and called timeout. Coming out in a 2-3-1 wiht big attackman Greg Pike on the crease.
3:44 Middie Andrew Dempsey put a good shot low on Waldt, but he gobbled it up. Gordy Long came out of the scrum and legged out the clear.
2:50 Andrew Barton matched up on Dempsey, pulled him out to the 40, got underneath the defender on a dodge down the right alley and put the shot between Guarino and the pipe offside high. SP 4-3
2:12 Keenan wins it to himself and puts another shot high. The unofficial count is 3.
1:47 Donley causes another turnover, comes away with the ball, and St. Paul's clears.
1:24 Spencer Parks drives the the pipe, takes a hit and puts it in. SP 5-3
1:18 Keenan wins, shoots high. Stop me if you've heard this before.
:10 BL works the ball around, Jeff Chase takes a pass from Taylor Stothoff, makes a move to his left and finishes lefty up high. Timeout BL to set something up for Keenan who, after winning 4-7 in the first quarter, has won all four in this quarter. SP 5-4
:04 Huge play out of BL to close the half. Keenan wins it forward, makes a 30-yard pass to Stanwick who was at the low right. He bobbled the pass, regained control and finished a dive across the front of the crease and put his shot over Waldt's shoulder — a play that anyone who's seen a Stanwick play would recognize. A new ballgame after one half. 5-5
As far as overall observations go, it's been pretty evenly matched. Six-on-six favors St. Paul's at both ends of the field, so if they can hold onto the ball and stop turning it over, they'll be in good shape. They can't count on stringing goals together, so they can't get down early.
For BL, the second quarter was a little more what they expected at the face-off X, but it didn't turn into goals until the last minute. Keenan is better off looking for a slow break, his shot isn't falling.
Third Quarter
11:30 BL won the face-off and Stothoff picked up the gb, but Wyatt Land took it away from him, keyed a break and Powderly's shot went over the crossbar. He's been quiet today.
10:47 SP settled into their ofense, but an errant pas cauesed an SP defender to step offside.
9:52 BL turned it over and in transition Barton finished in transition after getting all the way to the crease. SP 6-5
8:42 St. Paul's gets the ball back and settles into their offense.
7:38 Powderly puts another shot wide. Guarino gets down on a Linkous shot, but SP regained possesion.
5:59 After a turnover, BL settled into possession until a SP shorty picked up the ball on the crease, where Greg Pike pushed him in and drew a 30 second foul.
5:30 Guarino makes a nice save and BL clears.
4:15 David Mitchel-McShane causes a nice turnover on the endline. St. Paul's clear attempt goes over the endline, but rides the ball back.
3:26 Barton finds Jay Carlson on the crease with a low finish. St. Paul's pulling away a bit. SP 7-5
2:44 St. Paul's wins the draw, Barton got a shot on net but it got caught up in the muck on the crease. Carlson came away with the gb, went behind and finished on the right side of the crease. SP 8-5
2:20 Keenan wins it forward to himself, gets it to Stanwick, who put it wide and St. Paul's Mitchell won the race to the sideline.
1:57 Powderly sneaking around the left post takes a pass from Donley in transition and finishes up high. SP 9-5
1:48 SP came away with the draw win, but Stothoff rode the ball back.
:42 BL turns the ball over in their own end.
:00 Gutberlet makes a nice catch to clear for SP, but Rubenstein gets the ball back for BL as time expires.
Fourth Quarter
11:41 BL won the draw, but Donley caused another turnover, keyed the break and Carlson found himself alone on the crease, gave a stick face and dove to his right for a nice finish past Guarino. SP 10-5
11:27 St. Paul's draws a push with possession on the subsequent draw. They're getting excited on the Crusader sideline.
11:00 Jeff Fountain unassisted with the man-up goal. BL changes goalies, it's Patrick Jennings now. Guarino left with three saves. SP 11-5
10:49 Powderly from Carlson on the face-off win. SP 12-5
10:42 Barton takes a one-minute tripping penalty to take the wind out of their sails a bit. BL needs to capitalize.
10:03 Gordy Long comes out of a pile with a gb, legs it to the SP zone and got it to Michel on the point with a nice 10-yarder low and away. SP 13-5
8:53 Carlson from Barton. He's got four and one on the night. Good resume for player of the game. Wheels have come off the wagon for BL. SP 14-5
8:00 Keenan wins the draw but pulls up on the break and BL settles. Stanwick drives from the right pipe, gets underneath his defender but is in the crease before his goal crosses the line.
7:17 Stanwick takes a pass from O'Neil, beats Waldt down low, and draws an unsportsmanlike on Zack Linkous. They get offsetting penalties. SP 14-6
6:13 Those penalties release, but Powderly draws a penalty on Pons and SP will be up for a minute.
5:58 A lucky break for the Crusaders as an errant pass falls in Fountain's lap and he finishes up high. SP 15-6
5:05 Taylor Stothoff has had a good day for the Lakers, and he caps it with a nice sweeping goal low past Waldt. SP 15-7
4:31 Powderly gets another one. Adam Davey now in net for BL. SP 16-7
3:00 Waldt has a couple of good saves to keep the lead at nine. St. Paul's D is water-tight.
2:47 SP causes a turnover and draws a tripping foul. The Crusies will look to kill and finish out the clock.
1:41 Rick Brocato just took the water bucket to the back, and this one's done for all but dotting the i's. Geoff Shannon will bring you the final as I'm running down for postgame interviews.
:34 Spencer Parks gets the goal in front of the cage from Jeff Fountain, adding the exclamation point for the Lakers. Geoff Shannon here, btw. Of note, I do the "color commentary" with the TV team for tomorrow's tape delayed production for the second quarter (Brent Harris and former Maryland coach Dick Edell do the full game). I think I did well (let me know at firstname.lastname@example.com). Only regret was I didn't correct the team when they said Parks was Jeff Chase. Ah, but a first effort.
Game over: 17 St. Paul's, 7 Boys' Latin. Crusaders rush the field to celebrate, then head to the crowd to cheer with the awesome student body attendance here.
Final stats in a few minutes.
Here are your Numbers:
St. Paul's: Goals - Jay Carlson 4, Jeff Fountain 3, Pat Powderly 3, Andrew Barton 2, Spencer Parks 2, Taylor Michel 1, Dan Gutberlet 1, Alex Chay 1, Assists - Andrew Barton 2, Jay Carlson 1, Draper Donley 1, Mike Faby 1, Jeff Fountain 1, Gordy Long 1
Boys' Latin: Goals - Patrick Foster 2, Wells Stanwick 2, Jeff Chase 2, Taylor Stothoff, Assists - RG Keenan 1, Kevin O'Neil 1, Taylor Stothoff 1
Stats of Note:
Saves: St. Paul's 4, Boys' Latin 3 - Seven combined saves for both teams. Boys' Latin struggled with their goalie play tonight especially, with Thomas Guarino, Patrick Jennings and Adam Davey all getting a swing through the net. The 8 goal fourth quarter was dissappointing for BL's defense.
F/O: St. Paul's 9-27, Boys' Latin 18-27: R.G. Keenan did his work for the most part, going 18-26. Ben Brehme took the majority of St. Paul's face-offs, and finished 8-20. His tenacity during the play and on groundballs is a disruptor.
At the beginning of the high school season, Inside Lacrosse ranked St. Paul's the No. 2 team in the nation thanks to the plethora of talent on the offense and defense alike. Some players who had earned our previous respect (Jeff Fountain, Alex Chay, Pat Powderly) put together the performances we had been predicting out of them in the preseason. Other Crusaders (Spencer Parks, Jay Carlson, Gunner Waldt, Alec Mitchell) will be on the radar next season.
Which leads to the fun question. Who do you like in the MIAA for 2011? Shortlist of favorites include Calvert Hall (very deep in their underclassmen), Boys' Latin (a veteran offense and the rise of Shaq Stanwick), St. Paul's (Michel, Parks, Carlson as your front three offensive players) and Gilman (the underrrated Conor Doyle steps up). Until next MIAA season, take care.


text: took some time off today to do a few shots with the homie Ambrose for an upcoming LES (ART)ISTS editorial. Sure, it's really basic. But, I actually really like the tees and will def. be picking up one or two of them. The tees are basic on the front with no graphics except a small embroidery patch on the lower hem. I like to keep things really basic so this will sit well in my wardrobe.

Hotel lobby was very nice and surprising. Breakfast was very good. Location was easy to find.
Rooms are quite outdated. Bathrooms are older. Old caulking , rust around metal shower doors in bathroom. Upstairs floors can be heard easily (walking etc). Overpriced for condition. If you're looking just to sleep for a night. It's an OK hotel.Again it's OK for a night to sleep. Ask for top floor, so you don't have to hear constant footsteps. Again bathrooms are quite outdated. It's an ok hotel for under XXX. Anything over that, only stay if you absolutely must. Outside lobby looks nice though and nice continental breakfast in the morning.

The Unicorn is an interesting case when it comes to Oakland's trade bait. He's injured right now and it's a leg injury which, if it ends up affecting him when he comes back, could hurt his range an awful lot. He is expected to come back early-to-mid June.
What makes him such an interesting case is that nobody really knows what to expect from him. In 2005, he was worth 20.5 RAR but last year he was worth -4.7 RAR. His fielding as also improved every year he's been in the majors; last year his glovework was worth 17.4 RAR, tied for third most in the majors.
Back in September, Ellis underwent major shoulder surgery and it was unclear whether or not he would return to form defensively. Up until the calf injury, Ellis looked very good with the glove, and appeared to return to last season's form.
Unfortunately, his hitting hasn't returned to 2005 form, and it doesn't appear to be trending that way in general. He was OPSing .503 so far with zero homeruns. However, his BABIP was a mere .245. What bothers me is that Ellis hits so many weak pop-ups, and rarely makes solid contact with the ball. Either way, it should improve somewhat when he returns from the DL.
It strikes me as unfortuante that Ellis' value almost exclusively from his defense, because it seems that a lot of teams don't value defense as much as the A's. Here is a few players that Ellis was more valuable than last year: Alfonso Soriano, Miguel Cabrera, Prince Fielder, and Vladimir Guerrero. Signed to a team friendly contract similar to to the one Ellis is signed to, do you think any team would give up the same amount of talent to acquire Ellis than any of those players? I'm skeptical.
If the A's were to falter this year and hold a fire sale, then there are a couple scenarios. It appears to be clear that the A's don't want to give Cardenas a lot of time at 3rd base, and even though he's struggling at AAA, he could be capable of taking over early next year. The A's also have Petit and Pennington capable of taking over 2B this year, and with Cardenas coming up fast, Ellis might have to be moved eventually, anyways.
Of all the players that were worth around 3.1 WAR last year, nearly none of them were traded. Jason Bay, who was worth 2.9 WAR, was traded by the Pirates to the Red Sox in a three way deal that netted them Andy LaRoche (LA), Bryan Morris (LA), Craig Hanson (BOS) and Brandon Moss (BOS). As I discussed in the Holliday trade bait piece, the Bay deal was built around one solid prospect and some major league pieces.
Bay was in the middle of a deal worth $5.75MM in 2008 and $7.5MM in 2009. Anybody that trades for Ellis will get a similar team-friendly deal signed in the 08-09 offseason worth $5MM in 09, and $5.5MM in 2010 and a club option worth $6MM in 2011. I think Bay is an extremely comparable deal, but again, I don't think teams would give up talent for a strictly-defensive player, especially coming off surgery and an injury.
However, let's look at teams in need of a second baseman and see if we can figure something out.Actually, there is a great influx of talented second basemen in the MLB right now, with the likes of Cano, Fontenot, Phillips, Roberts, Hill, Kinsler, Utley, and Pedroia (who's tremendously overrated but still good).
One team sticks out.
St. Louis Cardinals - This season, the Cards decided to conduct a little experiment when they moved outfielder Skip Schumaker to second base. So far this season he's been worth -8.8 RAR with the glove. Ellis would represent a huge improvement over Schumaker, and with few middle infield prospects on the farm, his cheap, three-year contract would be a perfect fit for the Cards.
Colby Rasmus - Out of the question.
Brett Wallace - I doubt even a Wallace/Ellis swap would work out, but if we threw in an extra piece or two, then MAYBE a deal could be worked out. They need a lot of bullpen help, and really, so do we. But if we're out of the race, somebody like Wuertz or Springer would definitely help them in a playoff run. Ellis plus a good reliever for Wallace. Is that enough? I still have my doubts.
Daryl Jones - The 22 year old outfielder has tools and has finally started to put them together over the last couple of years. The Cardinals have a crowded outfield right now, with Ankiel, Rasmus, Duncan, Ludwick, and Schumaker (if they get a real second baseman).
David Freese (3B) and Allen Craig (3B) - Neither project to be studs, but both could be solid major leaguers. Freese has power and a glove, while Craig is an overall better hitting prospect. While the A's have nearly nothing at 3B, either would definitely help an A's organizational weakspot.
Other than that, the Cardinals best prospects are mostly relief pitchers, which I doubt they'll want to give up due to the fact that it's their big weakness at the MLB level. They also have Brian Barden, who looks to be an average major league third baseman.
The Marlins also represent another option, as Dan Uggla has been pretty bad this year, including defensively, but did anybody really expect good glovework? He needs to be moved to 1B, but I think the Marlins giving up young talent to get Ellis is unlikely, but in a competitive NL East, it could definitely happen.
I think a deal for Daryl Jones and Freese/Craig would be a good deal for both teams. Anybody got any other ideas?

I love this filter.
I have owned and own many other types, and backpack a lot.... I also travel in odd countries, and I always carry iodine and coffee filters as as pre-filter to extend the life of my filter.
For me, the fact that it was cheaper than the "hiker" yet offered better filtration (activated carbon, too) made it a no-brainer. The water tastes sweet and the pumping goes easy.
The pump body is hard molded plastic, unlike the 'hiker's metal, but I'm not worried about it at all.
The two caveats are that one should prevent it from freezing, or the ceramic will crack, (replacement ceramic only: 50 USD) and it is not an ultra-light pump for solo camping: But it will suffice for a larger party: We pumped for 12 using this filter alone. As a guide, it is my first choice to bring with me. At 30,000 gallons, it will keep pumping!
What a bonus, too, that you can use it in your RV or sink or wherever! I made a cool base-camp D.I.Y. sink from "instructables" (that's the url) with this filter as a flow-through - amazing! See the instructable titled "field sink".
Obviously this filter is a great choice for emergency preparedness, also B)
Highly recommended.

Price Paid: $160
Bought this filter in the spring and took it for a number of kayak/canoe trips over the summer. It was my first filter, but I'd had some experience using various other filters (belonging to friends) in the past.
I think the advantages and disadvantages of this filter were made obvious on one particular 5-day river trip, where my friend brought along his brand new MSR filter (waterworks?), and me my Combi. We'd often filter water at the same time in camp or on portages, and for the first few pumps the less expensive MSR filter seemed to match my Combi in both speed and water clarity (not that water clarity is necessarily proof positive of safe water).
In fact, I was even a bit jealous of my friend as the MSR's lever pumping action made it easier to grip than my Combi's piston action. This was compounded by the fact that the Combi didn't seem to grip the Nalgene bottles tightly enough and I ended up having to squeeze my bottle between my legs in order not to drop the whole assembly. (I later found out that the gripping piece that came with the filter was either broken or misshapen, and the replacement piece works perfectly.)
It wasn't until I was about a third of the way through filling a Nalgene that the Combi really hit its stride. I'm not sure how it worked exactly, but the Combi seemed to use built up pressure to dramatically increase filtering speed over the MSR filter, and after about twenty pumps or so, the Combi just took off and finished filling bottles in no time. It completely left the MSR filter in the dust and I was must have finished in a third the time it took my friend. The Combi seemed to use built-up pressure in the filter chamber to increase it's efficiency, and boy did it work.
I'm extremely happy with my Combi filter. Its speed and efficiency by far make up for its initial problems and difficulty of use. I'm not sure if anyone else has had the same Nalgene (or other bottle) gripping problems that I did, but if so I suggest you replace the gripping piece with a new one.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Great teachers that are attentive to students. All of the school staff are very kind.
As a child I went there and I am happy that my daughter goes there as well. Real easy to communicate with the staff.
My son was advanced in reading and math prior to starting kindergarten, This school lacks resources and staff to encourage advance students to excell. They did a great job of bringing the other children up to speed and all seem to be in great shape for success. My son however skated through the year with ease and without the incouragement to advance beyond where the whole class was. The intent seemed to be almost to hold him to where he was to allow the others to catch up to him and it made for a frustrating and boring year for him. His words were 'I am bored at school. They are only teaching me what I already know.'

About 200 school district and law enforcement officials from Johnson and Miami counties are expected to attend an upcoming school safety seminar.
School safety and security are always a paramount concern, but especially after 26 students and school employees were killed by a gunman at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newton, CT.
Public and private schools are invited along with higher education institutions in the two counties.
"The idea began to come together as a way to share ideas and become a toolbox other districts and law enforcement would want to make use of it," Mike Slagle, assistant superintendent for the Blue Valley School District said.
The hope is to make schools safer. The summit will be held this spring.
"School safety has always been a concern, and Sandy Hook just elevates that concern," Johnson County Sheriff's Office Deputy Rick Howell said. "We're always looking for the best practices to help protect our children."

However, the BSU ticket office says the Nevada game usually feels like a Boise home game - and the General Admission tix are probably where a vast majority of BSU Fans will be.

As of Thursday, November 1, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Gwinnett Daily Post
Coach: Michael Gunn
Record: 8-0, 4-0 region
Last week: Beat George Walton Academy 21-20
Coach: Sal Battaglia
Record: 1-7, 0-5 region
Last week: Lost to Commerce 42-11
Welcoming the unbeaten second-ranked team in the state from your classification to town is never easy, but the already short-handed Lions could be missing four or more players this week due to injury or illness.
Still, coach Sal Battaglia is trying to focus on the positives, such as the recent play of the likes of senior receiver Tyler Matthews (four catches, 162 yards, TD last week) and junior linebacker Jay Wallo (10 tackles).
"I'm hoping we're getting more competitive with each week," Battaglia said. "We're trying to find some takeaways. We had a nine-minute drive (last week) against (Commerce's) No. 1 defense coming out of the lockerroom (in the third quarter). We're just trying to get better every week."
This week's opponent will pose a huge challenge, especially the Athens Academy passing game, led by quarterback Austin Schulte, who threw for two touchdowns and ran for another in last week's win over George Walton Academy, as well as receivers Jordan Lawson and Eric Williams.
"We've seen some good football teams this season, but this one might be the cream of the crop," Battaglia said of the Spartans. "They looked well coached and very disciplined. We're just going go give it our best shot."
Last meeting: First meeting between the two teams
Directions to Hebron Christian Academy: From Ga. Highway 316, go north on Ga. Highway 8 approximately one mile and turn left at the traffic light onto Dacula Road (after passing Dacula High School on the left). Stadium is about a mile ahead on the right.

Twice weekly articles to help SMB companies optimize business performance with data analytics and to improve their analytics expertise.
Current Articles
RSS Feed
You know that predictive analytics has really arrived when there are two articles about it in a single issue of Time magazine (Aug 18, 2014 issue). While it is a rapidly maturing field (according to Gartner's hype cycle, it is already at its plateau of productivity), there are still some areas where improvements are being worked on.

Thanks to Amazon, Netflix and the like, recommender engines have become synonymous with predictive analytics and in many ways are the benchmark indicators of predictive analytics maturity in an organization, particularly in retail and ecommerce. Its adoption is going to increase to more non-tech type companies and even smaller businesses, thanks to the open source movement in analytics and big data infrastructure. At the end of the day, all content providers (including this website, via Add This!) will make use of recommender engines.
Recently I came across this bit of interesting factoid which went mostly unnoticed by media, because for most people it is not earth-shattering news- "... the operating cost of some robots is now less than the salary of an average Chinese worker". This has tremendous implications for manufacturing in the near future (10 years at the maximum) where most mundane and low level jobs will be taken over by machines - especially connected machines. Typical among this list of jobs which will move away from humans and towards machines are assembly line work (will be handled by robots, mostly) and complex manufacturing (3d printers). However in the non-manufacturing world too, the impacts of connected machines will be clear: taxi drivers and chauffeurs (replaced by self driving cars), delivery men (by drones), pharmacists and even personal physicians (by smart Watson-type programs) and so on. This is as game-changing as the internet was barely 20 years ago.

Supplier companies which manufacture commoditized products face constant cost pressures. As a way to separate themselves from the herd, many savvy suppliers are realizing that what may set them apart is the ability to help their customers' buyers make an informed decision. A manufacturer of paper designs which supplies national retailers has realized that in addition to providing the buyer with designs and sourcing information, they can also act as trusted advisors to their customers by identifying and recommending trendy ones. This is something predictive analytics can provide, starting with some basic time series forecasting.
There are many issues that impact customer retention for businesses. The cost of neglecting these can be enormous and in many ways is directly proportional to the size of a business. For example, for large automotive companies which sell millions of vehicles per year, a single percentage point decrease in customer retention can mean millions of dollars of lost business and untold loss in brand image. But this does not mean that small and medium manufacturers do not face this problem. While the absolute scale of the problem (in dollar figures) may not suggest a massive issue, relatively speaking, these same problems could devastate a smaller company.
Time series forecasting is one of the more basic predictive analytics needs of many businesses. There are a lot of data elements which come in as time series: product sales, shipping and transportation costs, commodity prices and so on. From a strategic perspective, managers and decision makers will frequently need to be able to predict trends and seasonal patterns for these elements.
Can predictive analytics be used to forecast fashion trends? This might sound like black magic or worse snake oil. But design or fashion trend forecasting can be a real problem, and one that data may help to simplify.

News: George Zimmerman Goes MIA, Trayvon Martin's Killer Out Of Sight
Sunday, Sep 22, 2013 12:10PM
Former Florida neighborhood watch worker George Zimmerman has the world and, most notably, his estranged wife looking for him in light of trying to get divorce proceedings started.
According to reports, Zimmerman has gone missing in action since a nasty dispute with his wife and her father earlier this month.
George Zimmerman's divorce proceedings are on hold, TMZ has learned ... because he's gone Bigfoot on his wife. The divorce can't move forward until George is served with papers, but his estranged wife Shellie's lawyer tells us, George is MIA. The lawyer says he can't find George anywhere and has no idea how to track him down. Sources close to George's family tell us they're in contact with him -- and he's safe -- but they don't know exactly where he is. We're told George plans to lay low for the foreseeable future. As we reported, George caused a media firestorm last week after allegedly punching his estranged wife's father in the face. He's been AWOL since. (TMZ)
Recently, an audio clip surfaced featuring Shellie Zimmerman claiming George was threatening her and her father.
In a call to 911, George Zimmerman's wife can be heard telling police Monday that Zimmerman was sitting in a car outside her home with "his hand on his gun and saying, 'Step closer.' " "Dad, get inside the house! George might start shooting at us, I don't know," Shellie Zimmerman can be heard telling her father, according to a 911 recording released as police swarmed the Zimmerman home in Lake Mary, Fla., to investigate. As of a couple of hours after the 911 call, Zimmerman was not under arrest but was in "investigative custody," which means he can't leave the scene until police are done investigating, Lake Mary Police Chief Steve Bracknell said in a phone interview with the Los Angeles Times. Bracknell said Zimmerman was being cooperative. (Los Angeles Times)
On the call, the Florida resident also revealed how concerned she was for her family's safety.
"He's just threatening all of us with his firearm, and he's gonna shoot us," she said on the call. "He punched my dad in the nose, my dad has a mark on his face, I saw his glasses on the floor. He accosted my father, and took my iPad out of my hand, and smashed it and cut it with a pocket knife." She added, "He just showed up here.... I'm really, really afraid.... I don't know what he's capable of, I'm really scared." (Los Angeles Times)
This all came days after Mrs. Zimmerman filed for divorce from him.
Shellie Zimmerman, 26, filed for divorce last Thursday, her lawyer said. She sought the divorce after she said last week in an interview with ABC News that the trial had strained their marriage of six years. John Donnelly, a family friend who testified in George Zimmerman's defense at trial, said that Shellie was "devastated" when her husband "just packed up and left" after his acquittal and was gone for a month without telling anyone his whereabouts. Shellie had lost touch with him and had grown increasingly upset, Donnelly said. (Chicago Tribune)
Along with two recent run-ins with police, Zimmerman has remained in the news for avoiding jail time after the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin in 2012.
After a trial that transfixed the nation, a jury found George Zimmerman, 29, not guilty in the death of Martin, 17. The defense argued that he shot Martin, who did not have a gun, in self-defense after being attacked. The verdict sparked protests and debate on race and guns that stretched all the way to the White House. In the weeks since, George Zimmerman has helped rescue a family after a car wreck and been pulled over for speeding twice. (NBC News)

One person went to the hospital after a morning fire in Moline. Firefighters were called to a wood frame, single family home in the 1,000 block of 40th street around 6:45 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2014.
Damage couldn't been seen from the outside, but fire officials says there is heavy smoke and water damage inside. Officials say cooking oil started the fire in the kitchen. Everyone got out of the home, but one of the residents was taken to the hospital to be checked out. The fire was extinguished within about five minutes.
Captain Jeff Snyder of the Moline Fire Department said all the snow on the ground did present some challenges to their job.
"They were able to see the top of the hydrant and just had to do a little digging, but getting here is a bigger problem because even though the plows have been through, side streets like this one are still a little rough," said Snyder. He went on to say public works crews have done a good job with their limited resources.
The Quad Cities chapter of the American Red Cross is assisting the family with emergency needs, since the house is currently uninhabitable.

She's not much for singing national anthems, but what about president of the United States?
If you're not sold on Barack Obama or Mitt Romney, how about comedian Roseanne Barr?
She's on the Florida
ballot this year -- seriously.
Barr is with the "Peace and Freedom Party," which believes in legalizing marijuana and gay marriage, as well as forgiving college loan debt.
The state makes it pretty easy for minor political parties
to get on the ballot. In fact, there are 12 presidential candidates this election season, and Barr is one of them.
You can even visit a website dedicated to Barr's campaign: www.roseanneforpresident2012.org/.

The Hangover star, 42, and his new fiancee Quinn Lundberg are planning an August (12) wedding, according to Celebuzz.com.
Invites sent to family and friends feature a drawing of Galifianakis and his 29-year-old bride-to-be, sketched by the actor himself.
A source says, "He made sure he looked like a little troll, while Quinn is a stunning tall blonde princess."
Last year (11) in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, the movie star confessed he dreamed of starting a family with Lundberg.
He told the publication, "I've been wanting kids for 10 years. I'd love to adopt, have them naturally - all of it. I want, like, 15."

Better than expected…
With all the media hype surrounding the seahawks this off-season and all the experts lining up to predict an amazing season to come what could really be better than expected for this team ?
Actually, quite a few things. With all the attention based on last year's performance and the new big names added in FA there are a lot that can actually be better this year. This is my list.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->1. 1. <!--[endif]-->RW. The major opinion is that he is good enough, and he is. That he just needs to avoid the 2nd year slump and use all his new shiny toys to avoid defenses learning him and targeting him. That could be true for RG3 maybe, or a Cam Newton. Players that take full advantage of their physical capabilities to shine on the field. RW is not the fastest, most agile, strongest and certainly not tallest QB. The qualities that made him what he is and brought about his amazing rookie year are those that will ensure he keeps getting better. Yes, BETTER. He is just starting his 2nd season and for the first time has a full off-season to play around and test everything before it's game on. Can you think of any player that will benefit from it more the RW ???. Yes, he will be better…much better this year. He will read the game better, pass faster, by mid-season he'll call audible and by the end of the season people will debate if it's ok to call him ELITE already.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->2. 2. <!--[endif]-->The mighty secondary. With a group nickname and being labeled "the best secondary in the NFL" people tend to forget that the veteran in that group has about 30 NFL games under his belt. Those guys are young and as amazing as they played they can and will be better this year.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->3. 3. <!--[endif]-->LB's – Not our most heralded group. More than any other group those guys need experience and understanding of the game. K.J. and Wagner has about 40 NFL games combined. They are young, fast and strong. They are both primed to take over the game. And they will. Next year they will be mentioned in the same breath as the secondary.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->4. 4. <!--[endif]-->The rookies. Before the draft, after trading the 1st round for Percy and with a very talented roster the common opinion was that it would be very unlikely for the hawks to find contributors at late rounds. The verdict was – it'll be very hard for those guys to even make the team. After the draft people tried to see the upside in those strange picks so they won't be proved like idiots for the 3rd year in a raw. Still the reactions were lukewarm at best. No respect for the FO magic. The following rookies will have a major impact on the team –
Jesse – The big man will prove to be an unmovable object in the base defense. He will hold the run game and learn to use his strength to push people into the pocket.
Hill – Will end the year with 5 sacks and be a very disruptive factor in the pass rush from the inside.
Willson – Will finish the year with 20 catches for over 300 yards and will stretch the field for Percy underneath.
Harper – Will find his role using his strength as a position and red zone receiver.
Michael – Will ease the burden on Lynch allowing to be in peak form for the playoffs and will be the future RB for this team.
Bowie – Will become the backup Tackle, will add depth and be future starter.
<!--[if !supportLists]-->5. 5. <!--[endif]-->Breakout guys. 3 players in particular will end the year as big names on this team. They are :
Carpenter – Finally healthy he will become a huge power on the O Line and will make the left side of the Oline – the best in the NFL.
Sweezy – With a full year to learn and another off-season to work on his technique his physical attributes will start to show as he takes his place as a RG for years to come. Next year 4 teams will draft Defensive lineman to convert to the Oline. That draft move will be called "pulling a sweezy"…
Thurmond – By the end of the year he will be a full legion member and will have a new contract to show for it.
When comparing the preseason forecasts to the actual season most experts will say – As good as we predicted they will be – they were better…
When the 1st teams on offense and defense will meet in peds on the field next year in training camp it will be better than the pro bowl.

Ciara Finds A New Direction For Album #5
Ciara seems ready to switch gears just a bit for her upcoming 5th studio album. The dancing machine wants to enlist LMFAO's 'Party Rock Anthem' producer David "GoonRock" Listenbee (who's the master mind behind the #1 smash hit, 'Sexy and I Know It' for the same band) for his musical genius on her next project. Ciara has made it no secret that she's looking for her own anthem to revive her career. Under the newfound guidance of L.A. Reid at Epic records, Ciara seems certain to have a new sound that will be a departure from the signature sound her main producer in previous years, The Dream, has created for her. This may be the beginning of a strong new era for Ciara, and it will be interesting to see if this change will prove to be good for the talented diva.

Bow Wow Tax Evasion Troubles
It's being reported that rapper Bow Wow might be in some financial debt. In an active investigation it appears that he's avoided paying taxes for the third time and has 3 liens against him currently. The first stems from unpaid taxes from 2006 which resulted in a tax lien in Florida. It's in the amount of $91, 105.61 (which is still owed as of today). Now 2 additional liens filed January 9th in Georgia have been cited, 1 in 2008 for 15, 279.62 and another in 2010 for $19, 700.91. This has the total accumulated debt reaching $126, 086.14. We hope to see Bow Wow getting a handle on his fiances and hopefully employing a competent person to manage his money better.

Royalkev's On Blast : Artists Evolution and Peaks
When is an artist truly in their prime? Is it when they're at their own personal best or when their albums are flying off the shelves? It's more to it than artists' peaking in the sales department. Sometimes that goes hand in hand, but it's several different factors that go into measuring all the components that reflect progression and evolution. Forget numbers and sales, the focus is quality in creation, abilities, growth and overall production and music. Occassionally atrists may have reached their highest potential early in their careers and that doesn't mean their work afterwards wasn't top-notch stuff. It's simply means that their best moment came close to the start of their run as recording artists. We drew graphs below demonstrating what we find a few selected (80's - '10's) artists in music track records to be in terms of seeking out the period where they've obtained that mountain-top excellence. We use arrows to indicate if an album was better than the following, equal signs to indicate two albums that don't show significant growth and the arrow pointing downward displays where the cut-off point would be after artists reach their peak and decline. See if you agree...
