The amount of information in our world has actually been blowing up, and analyzing huge data sets– so-called big information– will become a crucial basis of competitors, underpinning new ages of performance development, innovation, and customer surplus, according to research by MGI and McKinsey's Company Innovation Office. Leaders in every market will have to face the implications of big data, not just a couple of data-oriented managers. The boosting quantity and detail of details recorded by ventures, the increase of multimedia, social media, and the Web of Things will certainly fuel rapid development in data for the direct future.
Study by MGI and McKinsey's Company Innovation Office analyzes the state of digital information and papers the substantial worth that could potentially be opened.
MGI learnt big data in five domains– health care in the United States, everyone market in Europe, retail in the United States, and manufacturing and personal-location information worldwide. Big information can generate value in each. For example, a store using huge data to the full could increase its operating margin by greater than 60 percent. Harnessing big data in everyone market has massive potential, too. If United States health care were to make use of big information artistically and properly to drive efficiency and quality, the market could produce more than $300 billion in value every year. Two-thirds of that would be in the kind of minimizing US health care expense by regarding 8 percent. In the industrialized economic climates of Europe, federal government supervisors might save more than EUR100 billion ($149 billion) in functional effectiveness renovations alone by using big data, not including using large data to reduce scams and errors and increase the collection of tax profits. And customers of services made it possible for by personal-location data could possibly capture $600 billion in consumer surplus. The research provides 7 vital ideas.
1. Data have brushed up into every sector and company function and are now a crucial aspect of production, together with effort and capital. We approximate that, by 2009, nearly all industries in the US economic climate contended the very least approximately 200 terabytes of stored information (two times the size people retailer Wal-Mart's information storage facility in 1999) each business with greater than 1,000 employees.
2. There are 5 extensive portals which utilizing large data can create worth. First, huge data could open considerable value by making details clear and functional at considerably higher frequency. Second, as organizations produce and keep even more transactional data in digital type, they can gather more exact and detailed performance information on everything from product stocks to unwell days, and consequently expose variability and improvement efficiency. Leading business are utilizing data collection and analysis to carry out controlled experiments to make much better administration decisions; others are making use of data for standard low-frequency projecting to high-frequency nowcasting to adjust their business levers in the nick of time. Third, large information permits ever-narrower division of consumers and consequently a lot more precisely modified services or products. Fourth, innovative analytics could substantially boost decision-making. Finally, large information can be used to improve the advancement of the next generation of products and services. For example, manufacturers are using data acquired from sensing units embedded in products to produce impressive after-sales service offerings such as proactive upkeep (safety nets that occur prior to a failure occurs or ares discovered).
3. Using large data will end up being a key basis of competition and development for individual firms. From the point ofview of competitiveness and the possible squeeze of value, all companies should take huge information seriously. In most industries, established competitors and new participants alike will certainly leverage data-driven strategies to innovate, compete, and capture worth from deep and up-to-real-time details. Certainly, we discovered early instances of such use of data in every field we checked out.
4. The use of big information will underpin new ages of efficiency growth and consumer surplus. For instance, we determine that a sellers utilizing large data fully has the potential to boost its operating margin by greater than 60 percent. Huge information supplies significant advantages to consumers as well as to companies and companies. For instance, services allowed by personal-location data can enable consumers to capture $600 billion in financial surplus.
5. While the use of big data will matter across fields, some sectors are set for higher gains. We contrasted the historic productivity of fields in the United States with the possibility of these fields to record value from big information (using an index that integrates several quantitative metrics), and discovered that the opportunities and difficulties differ from market to market. The computer and digital products and info sectors, in addition to finance and insurance coverage, and government are positioned to get considerably from the use of huge information.
6. There will certainly be a scarcity of skill essential for companies to make the most of large data. By 2018, the Usa alone can deal with a shortage of 140,000 to 190,000 folks with deep logical skills along with 1.5 million managers and analysts with the knowledge to utilize the evaluation of huge data to make effective choices.
7. Numerous concerns will need to be dealt with to capture the complete potential of huge data. Plans related to privacy, security, intellectual property, or even obligation will should be addressed in a huge information world. Organizations need not just to put the appropriate talent and innovation in position however also framework workflows and rewards to optimize using large information. Accessibility to data is critical– business will progressively need to incorporate info from several data sources, usually from third parties, and the incentives have to be in spot to allow this.

Italians delay could move European Super Lightweight title back to England
12:00pm Friday 1st February 2013 in Sport By Tim Ashton, Sports Editor
Morden boxer Lenny Daws is waiting on a phone call to tell him where he will be fighting for the European Super Lightweight title.
The bout for the vacant title against Michele Di Rocco was due to be staged in Italy after promotions company OPI 2000 were awarded it by the European Boxing Union (EBU) on January 11.
However, OPI 2000 have missed the 15-day deadline whereby it had to announce a venue.
It has said the bout should take place by April, however, that contravenes a second 60-day deadline, leading Daws's promoter Mick Hennessey to log a complain with the EBU.
Daws said: "If they are not going to abide by the rules, then they should not get the fight. That's how I see it, pure and simple.
"I am more than prepared to go to Italy, although being at home would be an obvious advantage."
Daws has vacated the European Union light welterweight title he won in October for a shot at the EBU championship – whenever that may turn out to be.

Did you know your dog could get jealous?August 20th, 2014
Does your dog seem to act up when he sees you petting your friend's pooch? Does he clamor for your attention even more when there are other canines nearby? A new study revealed that this increased excitement might actually be how Fido lets you know he's jealous of these other animals, the first time evidence has been found to prove jealousy is not an emotion reserved for humans.
Dr. Christine Harris, who studies emotion at the University of California at San Diego, told NBC News that her interest was piqued after playing with her parents' pooches.
"As I was petting the dogs, what happened is that one dog would push the other dog's head from out underneath my hand so that both hands were on him," Harris explained to the news source.

Obama alone bought over $5 million worth of online ads in 2011.
Online ad spending by Obama for America and the Democratic National Committee reached more than $7 million in 2011. From March through December, OFA alone bought more than $5 million worth of online ads, according to Federal Election Commission reports analyzed by ClickZ Politics.
Meanwhile, President Barack Obama's reelection camp only recently began running television spots, reportedly making a relatively small national buy aimed at building his supporter list, and later pushing an economy and energy policy themed message to battleground states.
While Republican primary candidates have duked it out on television with ads hitting voters in primary and caucus states, OFA focused its 2011 advertising mainly on generating signups and donations. Online ads are especially conducive to collecting email addresses and donations, and many of the reelection campaign's ads spotted last year online served that purpose. A variety of display ads asked people to join the campaign, visit the official website, or sign a digital card wishing the Obama family luck in 2012.
The 2011 TV ads also reflected that approach, and featured the president encouraging people to call or visit the official site to join his reelection campaign.
OFA reported that it collected donations from over 1.3 million people, with 583,000 donors giving in Q4. It can be assumed that many of those donors gave after clicking through from an online ad.
The campaign appears to be shifting gears in the new year to use digital ads to sway voters. A series of ads seen on the homepages of news sites in Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, and Florida on or around the caucus and primaries there attacked Republicans or touted job growth under the president's administration. A more recent television effort from OFA in January attempted to persuade voters on Obama's clean energy policy and related job growth.
Online ad spending by OFA rose around 75 percent from $2.9 million through the third quarter to $5.07 million by the end of the year. OFA also spent about $93,500 with Mobile Commons on text messages in 2011 and around $672,000 with Blue State Digital for technology consulting and website related work.
DNC spending on online ads rose around $86,000 since the end of the third quarter, totalling $1.99 million for 2011. It is not clear whether all DNC online ad spending last year was entirely for Obama or in part in support of other Democratic candidates.
Both the DNC and OFA use Bully Pulpit Interactive to purchase their online ads. A small portion of the DNC's online ads also went through consulting firm GMMB in the last quarter.

San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker is battling a calf injury, but both he and head coach Gregg Popovich expect him to play in Game 4 against the Golden State Warriors on Sunday, according to Jeff McDonald of the San Antonio Express-News.
Parker suffered the injury in the fourth quarter of the Spurs' 102-92 Game 3 victory on Friday night. He said he "got kicked pretty bad," but he stayed in the game despite a limp. The Spurs' star point guard finished the game with 32 points on 13-of-23 shooting.
Parker said Saturday he has a "baseball sized knot" in his left calf, but he does not expect it to keep him off the court. He did not get an X-ray and team doctors are confident the injury is only a bruise.
The Spurs will need Parker to be close to his best in Game 4 as they look to take a commanding 3-1 series lead over Golden State.

Rep. Darby honored for aiding counties
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Standing before the Tom Green County Commissioners Court on Tuesday, state Rep. Drew Darby received an award from the Texas Association of Counties for helping counties thrive.
The organization named him a Friend of County Government for his work during the 82nd legislative session.
"This year marks the second time that Rep. Darby has earned recognition as a Friend of County Government," said TAC Legislative Director Paul Sugg in a news release. "TAC appreciates Rep. Darby's steady presence on the House Transportation Committee and House Appropriations Committee, especially during this fiscally challenging session. ... His work shows an appreciation for the impact state cuts can have at the local level."
Sugg was present before the court to present the award.
"He is a remarkable representative," Sugg said afterward.
The TAC tries to help and represent counties in Austin and provides additional services such as educational opportunities for officials. Darby said the organization was instrumental in getting bills passed that aided district clerks and county treasurers.
"You are the eyes, ears, arms and legs of state government," Darby told commissioners.
Among his first considerations with new bills is knowing how it will affect the county, he said.
"Your consistent support proves you are a true friend to county government," Precinct 3 Commissioner Steve Floyd said.
Floyd held court while County Judge Mike Brown was away for medical reasons.
Floyd highlighted the aid to district clerks and county treasurers in addition to general work against "unfunded mandates," state laws that require counties to come up with funding.
"He was one of our co-sponsors this session for the omnibus bill the treasurers had," Tom Green County Treasurer Dianna Spieker said.
The legislation allowed treasurers to question whether a county bill should be paid, bringing it before the court a second time as part of due diligence, Spieker said.
Spieker said the legislation also allowed treasurers to make changes, such as using electronic banking, and replace outdated terminology, such as the word "warrant" to mean a check.
"With this session, we caught up with the rest of the world," Spieker said.
Working with Darby on that bill was helpful because of the way the representative understood the intent of the legislation.
"He makes sure that he understands what is needed," Spieker said. "He has very positive reinforcement."
Darby was one of several who received a Friend of County Government award, TAC spokeswoman Elna Christopher said.
"He is not alone, but he is an important one," Christopher said.
In other actions, commissioners:
Decided to spend $30,065 to get a matching $27,500 for the 2012 Texas Department of Transportation's Selective Traffic Enforcement Program, which covers overtime pay for officers enforcing speed limits and driving while intoxicated laws.
Declared Thursday Tree of Angels Day in Tom Green County. The Tree of Angels Day is an event sponsored by the Tom Green Coalition Against Violence. Participants will decorate a tree, starting at 6:30 p.m. Thursday in the Celebration Hall at First United Methodist Church, to honor survivors of violence.
Approved the donation of old fire hoses to the Miles Volunteer Fire Department.

Amourette 300
An everyday set with more-than-your-average detailing. The berry shade, soft, intricate lace and scalloped edges puts this feel-good two piece into a league of its own. Shame to cover it up with clothing, really!
Divine Essence
The soft, non-wired silhouette of this bra, contrasted with a vintage-look lace finish, makes it the sassiest number to luxuriate in. Sling on a satin gown, slip into some marabou heeled mules and start channelling the glamorous starlets of old Hollywood!
Beauty-Full Basic
Campari Orange plays a lead role in this summer's intensely tropical colour palette – so with the Beauty-Full Basic set you'll be on-trend from 8am! This bra not only flatters every skin tone, it has all the support you could ask for and is particularly great for fuller cups.
Fashion illustrator Nuna Da Costa has drawn up some beautiful sketches of Triumph designs to mark the brand's 100th birthday.

However, it looks like they are going to be showing the game at the Zeigfeld theater in NYC, which is pretty cool. They have concessions so it's made into a ballpark like atmosphere and between innings they do trivia contests and things like that. Its only $12 bucks. Anyone in the NY area interested in going?

Sympathy for the Devil is a brilliant variant finish to The Devil's Backbone. It may be the best pitch at Mary's Bust at present.
This route climbs the right edge of the buttress immediately left of the main wall at Mary's Bust. The last pitch provides exceptional position as it overhangs the gully to the right, and the rock is nearly perfect. See The Devil's Backbone for more detailed approach information.

Nitrogen is an element that is found both in living things and the nonliving parts of the Earth system. In this classroom activity, students play the role of nitrogen atoms traveling through the nitrogen cycle to gain understanding of the varied pathways through the cycle and how nitrogen is relevant to living things.
For the teacher: To prepare, set up nitrogen reservoir stations around the classroom (or outside). At each station, place a reservoir sign, inkpad, stamp, die, and dice codes. Then go around the room with the "Key to Stamps" sheet and stamp each reservoir so that each stamp corresponds with a reservoir.

Networks Huffed Over Bush's 'Presidential Shell Game'; No Complaints for Obama's Secret Trip
The same networks that huffed and whined about George W. Bush's secret trip to Iraq over Thanksgiving in 2003, calling it an "embarrassing" "presidential shell game," had no such harsh language for Barack Obama's clandestine visit to Afghanistan on Tuesday.
Jake Tapper on Wednesday deemed the visit simply a "surprise." On CBS This Morning, Scott Pelley proclaimed it "remarkable," insisting, "These things are always kept secret, in the Bush administration, in the Obama administration, until the President arrives safely." Yet, on the November 30, 2003 CBS Evening News, Mark Knoller bitterly complained, "It was professionally embarrassing to be clueless...And from now on when I report that the president is at his ranch, neither you nor I will be sure of it."
How did Knoller react on Tuesday? He registered no complaints, mildly tweeting, "Pres. Obama left Washington last night under cover of darkness from Joint Base Andrews a little after midnight."
On the November 30, 2003 Meet the Press, Mike Allen (then of the Washington Post), griped about Bush's surprise visit to Iraq: "The reporters who joined us at Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland, their phones were confiscated. So we really did have a bag pulled over us."
A day earlier, on the November 29, 2003 Saturday Early Show, host Randall Pinkston used similarly annoyed language, promising to explain the "inside story" of how "the White House press corps were fooled by a presidential shell game."
Knoller than appeared for another grumbling report on Bush's visit:
MARK KNOLLER: The reasons for the misleading information and deception were understandable. The danger in Iraq is very real; lives were at stake, including the president's.
KNOLLER: So it was only after the president was wheels up from Iraq that the reporters with him were able to tell what they knew and the rest of us didn't. It was professionally embarrassing to be clueless in Crawford, though I'll get over it, but it means when I tell you that the president is at his ranch, it means neither you nor I can really be sure about it. Randall.
On the November 27 CBS Evening News, then-anchor John Roberts explained that Knoller "was one of dozens of reporters kept in the dark by the elaborate deception."
On Tuesday night, the NBC and CBS newscasts were much more forgiving, offering bland descriptions of the President's deception. (ABC featured another recap by Tapper):
CBS Evening News
SCOTT PELLEY: [Obama] made an unannounced trip there today on the first anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden.
NORAH O'DONNELL: Air Force One touched down at Bagram air base under the cover of darkness, a sign of the secrecy and security surrounding the President's trip.
Nightly News
BRIAN WILLIAMS: On our broadcast tonight, on the ground tonight in Afghanistan. Tonight the President's unannounced visit there landing in the dark and much secrecy a year after bin Laden was killed.
CHUCK TODD: Now, the White House did not lift the embargo until the President was safely inside Hamid Karzai's presidential palace in Kabul.
Apparently, presidential deceptions are only a problem some of the time.

"Can you say Stinger?"
How many times has a Stinger missile been fired at Air Force One, even when the travel itinerary is well know? The answer, of course, is NONE! The President has flown into, over, and within many a hostile airspace, for no other reason than to be seen there, without incident. Why does this instance warrant such secrecy? Because the President wanted to "surprise" everyone with a visit. Just as what happened when Bush did it. It's purely political, purely for show.
Apparently it';s OK when Obama does it, but not when Bush did it. At least it is with the liberal press.
The question, of course, is WHY is Obama doing this? WHY did Bush do it? There's no reason for it, other than for show, as the President doesn't have any overriding NEED to be there. We stopped having Warrior Kings a long time ago. That's what Generals are for. Obama, being inn Campaign mode, saw fit to risk an international flight simply for reasons of heightening his "warrior" image. He shouldn't be there. He should be back in Washington, doing his job!
The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States. The US Constitution

Typhoon Tracking with Google Maps
Agora's Digital Typhoon - Track Forecast Map tracks tropical cyclones in and around Japan. The map shows the historical tracks of current typhoons and also shows their predicted path.
The map is currently showing the paths of typhoon Roke and Sonca. When the map first loads an animation of the typhoons' path is displayed on the map. Different coloured markers indicate the typhoon's wind speed at different points along its path.
The numbered red map markers show the predicted path of a typhoon. Each marker includes a radial polyline showing the probability circle of the typhoon's location. You can also click on the markers to view the predicted wind speed.

text: Aviles has a career UZR/150 at SS of 12.4. That's better than any other position for Aviles. In comparison, Scutaro's career UZR/150 at SS is 2.8. Aviles also has a better career wRC+ than Scutaro. Maybe this is what the Sox FO saw when they traded away Scutaro, they thought Aviles was better at SS, and they could sign a pitcher. I would still rather have Scutaro, because I still think he's a little better than Aviles, but hopefully, Aviles is as good or better.

Sickle bar mower
My wife tells me that I need to get (I know, can you believe it) a sickle bar mower for my Cub Cadet 73. Were these style mowers available for a 73? If so, are they readlily available and what would I expect to pay for one? Are any other options necessary to run this mower? I just have the bare bones tractor and a 38-1 belly mower. Thanks for the help
Haban made them for garden tractors, and are about the only brand that you see for sale. A good, complete one will cost in the $400-500 range, and because they were built for various brands of garden tractors, you need to insure one you may find will fit your model Cub Cadet. The basic mower is the same, but mounting brackets and hardware will vary between models/makes. I am not sure which model your would need, but 402 D or E comes to mind, but don't take my word for that. They can be found on epay sometimes, and on sites that have garden tractor classified ads.
There are a pair up for auction on ebay now:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... %3AIT&rd=1
If you want to split them up I'll go halfies with you...
Findoggy...You may want to check out Wenger's in PA . He has a LOT of Cub and Cadet implements . I have a model 73 too, & I beleive the Haban Model 402 will fit the narrow frame cadets!
"Save The Possums...Collect The Whole Set"
"Tennessee Sun-Dried Possum...Heaven In A Can"
Anybody know anything about that type of Chipper/Shredder that is mounted on the Cadet in the background?
Haban Sickle Mowers
Fer instance, what is the required PTO speed and direction? I really would like to find one to mount behind Ellie or Granny. Be useful around here - save me buying wood chips for mulch
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
It is not heavy enough to do much wood grinding/chipping. It is a 59M Shredder-Grinder, has IH name on it , but was built by AMERIND-MacKISSIC INC, Parker Ford, PA. It is good for leaves, grass clippings, light brush (one ad says up to 1-1/2" but people I know that have one say no), weeds, plant stalks, table scraps, wastepaper, etc. It is driven by the front engine PTO which runs at engine speed (up to 3600 RPM) but that is changed some by the pulley sizes of the PTO and the unit. It has 24 steel knives, and is primarily for pulverizing the above into an organic mulch.

Construction of an fish barrier at the Lower Gar Outlet of the Iowa Great Lakes has been underway nearly a month now.
Officials say the project has been coming along nicely, thanks in part to the dry weather and extremely low water levels. The contractor, Christianson Construction, is currently constructing the vertical wing walls for the structure. Once that's done, officials say the main section of the barrier should be ready for installation in another week or two.
The barrier is being constructed in an effort to keep additional Asian carp from getting into the Iowa Great Lakes. Several Asian carp were caught in seining nets this past summer. Since then officials say there has been no further evidence of the invasive species in the Iowa Great Lakes.

Unconscious Influence
( Originally Published 1902 )
GOING from New York west, to the home of my childhood, for a Sabbath, I was invited to make an address in the afternoon at a meeting of the Young Men's Christian Association. The splendid building, which was the property of the Association, was beautiful and complete in all its appointments . Its chapel was filled with people at the service. The General Secretary, before introducing me, gave a short history of the organization from its beginning, and, to my astonishment, he named me as the founder of the organization in the city. There had almost faded from my memory the fact, that between thirty and forty years before I had gathered a few young men together, solicited funds and secured a room in the business part of the city, where reading material was supplied, and where religious meetings at stated times were held ; and it was hard to realize that, out of that humble, insignificant start, the great Association, with its fine building and its efficient work, had sprung. I was treated to another surprise as the secretary continued : " Some years ago I attended a revival service at a church in this city, and the minister preached a sermon which touched my heart, at the close of which I felt myself drawn irresistibly into the number of those who went forward as penitents. I was but a little boy, and the minister kneeled down and, bending over me, talked with and prayed for me. I found then and there a peace in Christ which has remained with me till this day. The minister who led me to Christ is the one who is to address you this hour." I recalled the revival service and the meetings, where some little children came forward and gave themselves to Christ, but I did not recall the particular boy who had grown to be the secretary of the Association. It seemed that, going from the meeting, he united with another church to which his people belonged, and I did not have an opportunity to identify him. I did not know that I had been instrumental in leading the secretary to Christ, until he revealed the fact to me in his introductory remarks.
God only knows what vast harvests spring out of the smallest seed of right intention or holy endeavor. There is an immortality of good deeds on this side of the grave. The unseen, unconscious influence which we may have among men, is a thousandfold greater than any visible power we may exert.

Oceanfront Cottage Rentals
When you just want to get away from it all, sometimes a quaint cottage on the ocean is the perfect escape for a little rest and relaxation. Oceanfront cottage rentals can give you the relaxing atmosphere you need to rejuvenate whether you're planning a romantic trip for two, a family escape, or even a little time for yourself.
You can find beachside abodes on both sides of the coast and across the globe, from historic bungalows in Maine to chic retreats in California's wine country, or even sunny villas in Mexico and Europe where you can find yourself just steps from the sea. Oceanfront cottage rentals offers the privacy and amenities you can only find with a vacation home.
Atlantic Cottage Rentals
Cottages along the Atlantic coast give a flavor of American history that beckons an era of simpler times, allowing you to relax without worries in your Cape Cod bungalow with only the sound of the waves outside your window. Collect sea shells, try sailing or even kayaking in the cool Atlantic water. If a little warmth is what you crave, explore a beachside cottage in the tradition-rich South, where you can also take advantage of some of the greatest golf courses in the country or enjoy some of the nation's best shopping malls. You can even try a little Southern cooking in your cottage kitchen.
Pacific Cottage Rentals
Whether you're looking to be surrounded by nature among the green isles of Washington or experience the hip culture of California in a Los Angeles oceanfront cottage rental, VacationRentals.Com offers beachside homes for every taste. Wake up to the calm of a morning in the Pacific Northwest, enjoy the beauty of wine country in your own Bodega Bay abode, or scope the Hollywood scene on a girls' retreat with your own oceanfront rental. No matter what scene you seek, a private cottage can help you make the most of your vacation time with friends or family.
International Cottage Rentals
For those seeking a little adventure, a getaway to a foreign country could satisfy the urge to explore someplace new. Experience the lush coasts of Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia or even St. Andrews in Scotland, where a hike through the countryside may bring unexpected sights. For a little sun, lounge on the beaches of Mexico or the Caribbean before retreating to your cool beachside villa. You can even find oceanfront cottage rentals in Costa Rica, New Zealand and countries across South America. A front-row view of the ocean may await you no matter what part of the world you're yearning to see.
Why a Vacation Rental
Vacation homes offer many advantages compared to hotels when you're looking to get the most out of your precious vacation time. Vacation rentals offer greater space, privacy and value, with many amenities like a kitchen and private laundry not available in hotels. Vacation rentals also allow you to explore your destination more fully, with a place to call home that blends with the atmosphere. With an oceanfront cottage rental, you can cook a romantic dinner for two, relax in front of the fire, or simply enjoy your own stretch of sand in front of the beach. VacationRentals.Com can help you find the ideal beachside cottage in the perfect destination for you.

Sylvia Plath Poems Chosen by Carol Ann Duffy
Sylvia Plath was one of the defining voices of twentieth-century poetry, and one of the most appealing: few other poets have introduced as many new readers to poetry. Though she published just one collection in her lifetime, The Colossus, and a novel, The Bell Jar, it was following her death in 1963 that her work began to garner the wider audience that it deserved. The manuscript that she left behind, Ariel, was published in 1965 under the editorship of her former husband, Ted Hughes, as were two later volumes, Crossing the Water and Winter Trees in 1971, which helped to make Sylvia Plath a household name. Hughes's careful curation of Plath's work extended to a Collected Poems and a Selected Poems in the 1980s, which remain in print today and stand testimony to the 'profound respect' that Frieda Hughes said her father had for her mother's work. It was not until the publication of a 'restored' Ariel in 2004 that readers were able to appraise Plath's own selection and arrangement of her work.
This edition of the poems, chosen by the Poet Laureate Carol Ann Duffy, offers a fresh selection of Sylvia Plath's poetry to stand in parallel to the existing editions. Introduced with an inviting preface, the book is essential reading for those new to and already familiar with the work of this most extraordinary poet.

Stray bullets struck a Falls City apartment building, landing in an apartment occupied by three children, according to the Polk County Sheriff's Office.
According to investigators, shots were fired near the intersection of Bridge Street and South Main Street around 11:50 p.m. Saturday. The bullets traveled over the Little Luckiamute River and struck the back of the apartment complex where Crystal Lorensen lives with her husband and three young children.
"I'm just so nervous and rattled. I don't know words can really explain," said Lorensen.
Lorensen said she heard three gunshots late Saturday night, then a bullet landed on her living room floor. It came through the wall after traveling through her neighbor's apartment, she said.
Two other bullets came into the bedroom shared by her 11-year-old and 9-year-old sons. One bullet hole was inches from the top bunk of the bunk bed, where her oldest son was supposed to be sleeping.
"They were not listening and playing their video games on the floor in the closet so mommy and daddy don't see 'em," she said. "If they didn't have these games they probably would have been up on that bed. I couldn't imagine my life without my 11-year-old, without any of my boys."
If you know anything about the shooting, contact the Polk County Sheriff's Office at 503-623-6113.

I've tracked the 2011 team since training camp. I attended the second night practice in St. Joe. I wondered why the team wasn't practicing hard. It looked like a walkthrough. No contact. No live 11-on-11 action. The practice was boring to the fans who attended.
Todd Haley gambled on his plan to take it slow through the pre-season and the first three pre-season games. And that gamble may earn him a pink slip.
I don't understand why he changed his approach from 2010 training camp and pre-season to the 2011 approach. Last year's plan netted him a division championship and a remarkable 10-6 record. Why change? Oh, I understand that the lock out changed everything. But Haley was the only NFL coach to implement this approach. That should tell you how stupid it was. Of all the great NFL coaches currently, he was the sole coach to do this.
I predicted the Chiefs would go 4-12 after hearing Tony Moeoki was placed on injured reserve. I'm going to stick with that prediction.
But what I really want, and I know this sounds sick, but I wouldn't be too disappointed to see them go 1-16 this year and draft Andrew Luck with the overall Number 1. This organization needs to draft a franchise quarterback. They never, in their rich history, have done that.

Comedy Central's The Daily Show gets its very first African American female correspondent! And she'll be a regular, so it's not just a one-and-done deal.
Her name is Jessica Williams. Here's her bio from Comedy Central's website:
Jessica Williams is an actress, writer, and all-around funny lady from Los Angeles, California. She credits her ability to be hilarious on her very large funny bone. No really, she has been six feet tall since she was in middle school. At first she was awkward and super weird. Then she became funny and still super weird. Jessica then became a "comedic animal." She was funny, but intense and domineering. She was only blood- thirsty for the giggles and laughter of others. To fill her insatiable appetite, Jessica threw herself into the intense and cut-throat world of improv and sketch comedy. She frantically performed in shows with "ComedySportz: The College Team" and at the "Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre". A lot of people died laughing. After practically "killing it" at every single comedic venue in Los Angeles, Jessica decided it was time to conquer New York City. This year, she joined "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" as a new correspondent. Jessica plans to destroy everything that she sees both comedically and physically. As a result, there are a lot of things broken around the studio. She loves it.
The show was has been criticized for being nothing but a good old boy's club (or I should say man's club), so might Williams' addition be, in part, a reaction to that criticism?
Watch Williams make her debut appearance in the clip below from the January 11th show. She comes in towards the end around the 3:50 mark (h/t Colorlines):
Jeff | December 17, 2013 2:46 PM
she's a hottie.
Lavetta Cannon | January 20, 2012 1:45 PM
I watch "The Daily Show" every night and it was a welcomed surprise to see her! Yes, her first segment was just okay, but it takes most of the new correspondents a few times before they click. It took me a while to warm up to "the older black man" on the show but now I love when he's on. It takes them all a while to get the jitters out. Congrats to her and I know she's gonna rock it!
Stoned Marxist | January 20, 2012 6:55 AM
she makes me laugh and gives me a boner at the same time. cant say the same about john.
SoulMan | January 18, 2012 7:38 PM
I hope to see more of her. We will see what the show does with her. Plus, at the 0:33 point, whoever did that graphic of Iowa needs to learn geography. Michigan is no where near Iowa...LOL
lavenderpop | January 18, 2012 12:22 PM
Big fan of Daily Show. I want to see more of Jessica!
Troy | January 18, 2012 10:31 AM
I think the more telling fact is that she isn't morbidly obese.
VJ | January 17, 2012 11:22 PM
NO!!! I was supposed to be the first Black Female Correspondent for Jon Steward! :)
w.i. | January 17, 2012 11:13 PM
Wow a funny black woman not a black man in drag ...I thought they didn't exist LOL!
other song | January 17, 2012 11:08 PM
Love the Daily Show, and she was unfunny. Hopefully she'll do better next time

ETSU to test emergency systems Thursday
Published On: Sep 11 2013 10:28:15 AM CDT
East Tennessee State University will test its emergency notification systems on Thursday.
The test will include an outdoor siren system with five large speakers placed on the ETSU and VA Medical Center campuses, an ETSU alert link on the ETSU.edu home page, a public address unit in selected campus buildings, and Goldalert, the university's emergency text and email system.
ETSU's outdoor siren will sound at 9:35 a.m. Thursday, beginning with a wail followed by a test message. A text and email from Goldalert will deliver a similar message.
The mass notification systems were installed at ETSU in 2008.

↵News broke on Tuesday that Chipper Jones was going to announce his retirement, telling those inside the Braves organization he was leaning that way. Jones postponed any formal announcement with the promise that word will come "at some point" during the Braves current homestand. A lifetime .306 hitter, Jones is struggling at the dish this season, batting just .228 with three home runs and 22 RBI in 51 games. FOX 5 Atlanta grabbed an exclusive interview:
↵⇥"Anytime you struggle at the plate or are having trouble producing, it's frustrating. I'm used to, you know, being in the middle of everything, but it hasn't been happening. Hopefully I'll have a better second half…" ↵↵The FOX 5 clip cut out at that point, but it clearly indicates – as does their graphic – Jones is hedging on retiring at the end of the year, but that he's "not retired yet." ↵
↵I'll be honest, when I heard the news that Jones was retiring I, too, thought it would be a Ken Griffey Jr. situation and that Jones would hang them up effective immediately. But struggling as he is and injured as he's always been, Jones is a pretty fierce competitor and a darn good hitter. Unlike the Mariners and Griffey, Jones and the Braves are right in the heat of a pennant race, so it's unlikely Jones would want to miss out on another shot at the playoffs, even if it means spending most of the season on the bench. ↵
↵Jones announed Thursday he would put off retirement until season's end. He will ride off into the sunset with Bobby Cox, ushering in a new era in Braves baseball on the back of Jason Heyward. The Circle of Life, it seems. ↵↵
↵In a great nugget of reporting, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Carroll Rogers caught up with Jones' parents, who were in town for Chipper's son Trey's 10th birthday. ↵↵
↵⇥"He's down in the dumps about things right now," Larry Wayne Jones Sr. said. "He talked to me about (retirement) about three or four months ago and I said, 'Don't make a decision based on how you feel right now. Give it a chance.' And I've run out of 'give it a chance.' He's a grown man. He's 38 years old now." ↵↵While Chipper's father was more matter of fact, his mom admitted that it's an emotional situation: ↵
↵⇥Lynne Jones added: "He certainly earned the right to do whatever he wants with the rest of his life. We're going to shed a tear regardless." ↵↵
↵Since playing 153 games in 2003, Jones hasn't been on the field for more than 137 games in any year since. After starting his career with nine-straight seasons of more than 600 plate appearances, Jones has just one season since where he's reached that mark. Yet with all his recent injuries, he has still been productive at the plate. Ironically, some of his best seasons have come after the Braves lost the stranglehold on the NL East. In 2007, Jones hit .337 with 102 RBI and a career-best OPS of 1.029. In 2008, in just 128 games, he hit .364 with a .470 on-base percentage – both career highs. But last season he struggled at the plate, hitting just .264 with an on-base percentage under .400 for just the second time since 1998. ↵↵
↵Overall, Jones has numbers we all love…right on the borderline. Let the Hall of Fame debate officially begin. ↵↵

What they don't understand is the amount of money we spend if we spend a night in Walmart parking lot. Also the amount of money spent on fuel, restaurants, etc. I understand that Illinois state is against overnight parking so we don't stop if we have to go through the state and will not spend a dime for anything. Its a two way street and if they don't allow us to park then we won't spend any money there.

Don Bank's Final Mock Draft
In his final mock draft, SI.com's Don Banks has the Chiefs taking David DeCastro (OG, Stanford) at 11. He has Luke Kuechly (ILB, BC) going one spot ahead of the Chiefs to the Bills at 10. I think Kuechly is who the Chiefs have at the top of their board for the 11 spot, and if he isn't there the Chiefs will trade down. In Bank's scenario, Riley Reiff (OT, Iowa), Michael Flyod (WR, Notre Dame), Mark Barron (S, Alabama), Michael Brockers (DT, LSU) and DeCastro all fall to the Chiefs at 11. I think some team falls in love with one of those five players and will give the Chiefs a serious offer to trade down. The Cowboys, Eagles, Jets and Bengals are all candidates to trade down with the Chiefs.

Atlanta-- House District 151 candidate Phil Cannon's voting registry was the subject of a hearing in the state capital Thursday. Now the Secretary of State will decide if he is an eligible candidate for the General Assembly.
Cannon admits he was not a registered Dougherty County voter when he qualified to run. The Albany attorney had filled out a voter registration card earlier this year at a public event, but the paperwork was not filed.
Cannon says until recently he has focused on family and business. "And I want to be involved in politics, and I'm now trying to start that action. It's unfortunate that minor things occur that other people tend to make a big deal out of."
Judge Elbert Hackery heard the complaint filed against Cannon's voter registration. The judge will make his recommendation to the Secretary of State, who will make the final decision.

I'm looking for beta or directions on where to find beta on mtn biking at shelf. Especially interested in trails that kids can handle. Kids that bike stuff like Steve's Loop near Fruita. Thanks!
mark, the road that drops down from the bank campground towards the piggy bank area continues for quite a ways and has a few diversions. it would probably work well as there is very little traffic on it. also, the road that drops down into dead colt has a nice old road. the start is kind of rocky, but gets better. at the bottom of the hill is a faint trail that goes adventurously off to the right, and ulitimately ends up at a freaky pristine little cabin. another option is red canyon park which has a nice road through it that also doesn't have much traffic and is scenic. if you drive in a little bit, and then park, the road gets more primitive and makes a nice little ride. there are a couple road systems just off of red canyon road, on your way out to shelf, just before the bridge and the dinosaur area. one road goes up to left to a shooting range, maybe avoid this for this reason. the next road goes up the right (east) and has a handful of dirt roads to roam around on. hope this helps.
Thanks Slim, very helpful. Hoping for singletrack, but those sound like some good options.
how old are the kiddos? if you are interested in the equivalent of bouldering for biking, red canyon park is pretty cool. kind of like a tiny slice of slick rock, with some neat bowls, etc, up on the rock formations.
If you're looking for real mnt. biking (single track and not just jeep raods), the best option you'll have is to go to Pueblo State Park. Really great biking on phenominal single track; just like Fruita. It's not that far from Shelf (40 min, maybe shorter) east on rout 50. Check it out; It's one of the best trail systems in the front range that my wife and I go to year round (which is surprising considering it's in Pueblow).Other than that, you'll just have to ride dirt roads.

This was a truck Toyota displayed at the SEMA show in 2009, and even though this specific version of the truck hasn't gone into production, it wouldn't be impossible to build one like it.
The 2009 Tundra TR concept was built, in some ways, as a tribute to drag racing. As Toyota explained it, "back in the 1960s and early 1970s, auto manufacturers responded to the growing desire for high performance automobiles by creating a segment now known as musclecars. The ideal concept was to pair the lightest platform with the largest motor, thus giving the buyer the best horsepower to weight ratio possible. While many of the packages loudly advertised the car's performance (SuperBee, Boss 302, GTO, Challenger), some of the most potent combinations had little to no options and no exterior differentiation from the base model cars to create a 'sleeper'."
Toyota began with the lightest Tundra -- a two-wheel-drive Tundra Grade regular cab with a short bed -- equipped with the 381-horsepower, 5.7-liter iForce V-8. Then they went to work, adding a slew of Toyota Racing Development parts. TRD offers Thunder Paks for buyers, and Toyota installed two of them here. Thunder Pak #1 includes a TRD sport suspension, which lowered the truck, and a TRD exhaust that has been ceramic-coated black. Thunder Pak #2 is where the real power comes from, though -- it comes with a TRD supercharger and boost gauge, boosting performance to 500 horsepower and 550 pound-feet of torque. There is also aftermarket equipment adding more power to the SEMA truck -- a Nitrous Oxide Systems 150-horsepower shot of nitrous with dual 10-pound tanks -- bringing total power to 625 horsepower. The Matte Black Tundra was given matching black front and rear bumpers and grille surround, and the standard 18-inch steel wheels were painted black to match. The interior is also black, with bucket seats.

Blessed be Christopher Booker who has been writing about hundreds of cases in secret family courts regularly for The Telegraph and the Daily Mail. About the Musas he published 14 articles and feared that they contributed to getting them behind bars…
Here he brings us the latest story about Haringey Council's attempt to even change the names of the two youngest children to get them adopted against the parents' will – our campaigning efforts in Brussels.
In today's article he summarises the observations of a judge who, at long last, does not rubber stamp what Haringey Council want. Now retired Sir Nicholas Wall had done so when he famously said that "professionals don't lie"- after horrendous 'evidence' was fabricated with the aid of a hospital.
However, what adds to this horrendous legitimisation of criminal activities, is the continuously bad treatment of mother and father in their prisons: first HMP Holloway and Pentonville respectively, now HMP Send and Maidstone.
It is hoped that they will be released by the end of this month. That will mean deportation without their children. Just like with American Melissa Laird whom I met thanks to Gloria Musa in HMP Holloway. Continue reading

In the fallout of UFC 150 there are now more calls for Frankie Edgar to drop down to featherweight and make a run at Jose Aldo's title. We've heard from everyone on the subject except the champion. Jose Aldo made his feelings known in an interview with Tatame:
(Edgar) has already mentioned dropping to featherweight, so I am really hoping that he does it so that these rumors end. He is very welcome in the weight class, so that we can expel him back to LW, or to BW.
No surprise it doesn't seem like Jose Aldo is concerned with the potential threat that Frankie Edgar is. He did say that he thought that Frankie won his second fight against Benson Henderson:
As in every Edgar fight this was a tough one. I think that they could have given Edgar the victory, but who am I to judge? They have judges there for that.
I, along with most sane people, would love a Jose Aldo vs. Frankie Edgar fight. Jose is probably the most under-appreciated fighter in the sport. He is the guy who deserves the "No Known Weaknesses" title that they tried to push on Cain. I doubt it would do massive PPVs, but it is probably the closest we will probably get to a "super fight" in the near future.
On a quick side note, is it just me or does Jose seem like the quietest of the champions? I hear almost nothing about what he says or thinks about anything even leading up to his fights. Dom is a pretty low key champion also, but he's also given lots of exposure.

This is the fourth in a series. Wide Receivers (Unofficial), Quarterbacks, and the Backfield.
By almost any measure, FSU had one of the worst offensive lines in major college football from 2004-2007, relative to their supposed talent level. Enter highly regarded offensive line coach Rick Trickett in early 2007. Trickett has now restocked the offensive line with quality depth and despite the predictions of some experts that they would be the worst offensive line in the ACC in 2008, the group exceeded expectations.
I do not buy into the idea that this group was "very good" or "great" in 2008. They were simply above average. Considering that the starting five was the youngest in America, that's pretty impressive. Consider also that they were one of the smallest in major college football. Still, I saw this line get manhandled during the Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech, Boston College, and Florida games, four of which ended in losses.
Perhaps the best thing that Jimbo Fisher did in 2008 was protect his young offensive line. Huh? How do you protect an offensive line? Those bubble screens weren't really a way of offense, but a way to make sure that the defense played us honestly. That is, they could not commit extra men to stop the running game for fear of getting outflanked by a bubble screen to the speedy Bert Reed (NCST Game), or if they did attempt to load the box while accounting for the bubble, to face a one-on-one jump situation downfield against Greg Carr or Corey Surrency. Jimbo's bubbletology, along with running Ponder and thus using the guy he would have handed the ball off to as a blocker, gave the offensive line the edge they needed to do a passable job.
Unfortunately, when teams could stop the run without loading the box, they could account for both the bubble game and the downfield stuff, as Wake, BC, and UF did. Worse yet, those teams were also able to generate an, often allowing an unacceptable amount of pressure from a simple four man pass rush (not a blitz). ...pass protections usually start out with the understanding that if the defense rushes five guys, you can pick them up, but your blockers will have to be able to block at least one defender (more likely 2) one-on-one. No pass protection scheme can count on double teaming all possible rushers. If you can't handle anyone man-for-man, then a five man rush effectively becomes like a seven or eight man blitz, but also with sound coverage behind it. _Smartfootball.blogspot
This year, we will not be able to protect the offensive line. Instead, the offensive line must become the protector for the rest of the offense.
Let's discuss the questions facing the line as they head into spring.
FSU returns their entire two-deep from 2008. The only loss is offensive tackle Joe Tonga, who played sparingly and is not considered an important loss.
If this group is going to achieve what Jimbo Fisher calls "dominant status", they need to get stronger. I have reason to believe that will happen. Remember that most of these guys can't even buy a beer. They should continue to mature.
For the Spring, I am interested in
- seeing whether Left Tackle Andrew Datko has put on weight. Already an excellent technician, Datko must gain strength to be able to withstand the bull rush. Last year, he was much too short in his drop step, because he feared the bull rush from the stronger player. This left him open to getting burnt on the edge rush, even though he was fairly quick. If he gains some more mass, he can retain his quickness and take a deeper setup, while still guarding against the bull rush/ inside move.
- how Center Ryan McMahon looks after a very average 2008 season. We learned that he had a foot injury, suffered early in the Virginia Tech game. Long time readers will remember that we ripped his play in that game and he didn't really ever recover, having a poor bowl game as well.
- Who will play right tackle? Both Zebrie Sanders and Antwane Greenlee have a lot of talent. Both played at times last year. If they maintain their current path, I'd expect Sanders to start. If Greenlee can return to the promise he showed coming out of high school (before he had his spinal injury), then he could be the guy.
- Will Rodney Hudson make the jump from being avery good college player to a serious NFL prospect? That is, will he gain the strength and retain his quickness, allowing him to dominate the opposition?
- Will Rodney Hudson get any work at center? McMahon's peak is probably as an above average college player. If Hudson at Center allows us to get our five best offensive linemen on the field at once, then we need to do that even if it means relegating McMahon to the veteran leader on the bench.
- Since David Spurlock is out for spring with a minor shoulder procedure, his backup will get the reps. That raises the question: Will Furlong... how big is he? I've heard he is tiny. Some have speculated that he has some sort of blood problem that prevents him from gaining weight and keeping it on. We cannot afford to play a 275lb guard. I'm no Hematologist, but if he does have this problem, it needs to be addressed. If it cannot be corrected, he needs to be medically disqualified (NCAA rule that allows player to keep his scholarship even though he doesn't count against the scholarship limits). To be quite blunt, FSU has no use for a 275lb Junior at the Guard position.
I'm sorry that this isn't that in-depth. College football is a game dominated by skill position players (as opposed to the NFL, which is definitely a scheme and blocking league). That's not to say, however, that the offensive line doesn't matter. It's still extremely important.
I expect the offensive line to be a strength this year. If I'm wrong, we'll again see teams re-establish the line of scrimmage three or four yards behind the original line, as BC did in this picture.
I think the Spring will go a long way to showing what this line will be (minus Furlong, obviously). The defensive line should be really poor this spring, and the offensive line should dominate them on a daily basis. If they do not, be prepared for a long year.

This condo is truly set up for families. 12 members of my family went and there is so much room that we never had a problem getting our own space. It was very clean and tastefully decorated. The property was well maintained, parking was a bit of a challenge at times. It has a little bit of everything for everyone. Games, both video and board, toys and TVs everywhere. If you are looking for a great beach experience, rent this condo, you won't regret it.
Perfect family vacation rental :-)
This condo is beautiful, spacious and has a very well equipped kitchen. It is decorated tastefully in a typical beach theme. When we arrived I was pleased to see how clean everything was. After a quick trip to the local Wal-Mart for needed items suck as (food, paper products, trash bags, laundry detergent and hand soap) we were all set to enjoy the ocean, the pool and all of the blissful views this unit provides. This was the first time my family and I chose to stay in a family style place. It was actually a relief not to have to worry about being out of the room at a certain time each day for room service. We were able to sleep in, cook breakfast/lunch/brunch at our leisure. We had 14 adults, 2 children and 1 infant in this beautiful four-bedroom penthouse. We never felt crowded because there is plenty of room for everyone to pursue their own activities in the common areas. The only thing I wish I had was a soft pad for the bed as they are a bit firmer than I am used to. The weather cleared up for us and we had 7 beautiful beach days!! My family and I enjoyed many day trips and spent lots of quality family time together. I would highly recommend this penthouse unit. Thank you very much for sharing it with us.
Awesome views, awesome condo, awesome beach.
We loved the condo. It was big enough for a party of 7, 3 adults, 4 boys. The views from the balcony were amazing. The condo was as pictured and didn't need anything extra. The beach was family friendly and not too crowded. We enjoyed the neighborhood, extremely nice grocery store (they have everything) and the BBQ on Sea Mountain Rd was worth two visits. The return of the deposit has been slower than I expected. However, I anticipate we will return to this condo often.
