Coveted football recruits will sign letters of intent tomorrow to play big-time college football. Many will be met with fanfare, along with plenty of pomp and circumstance. The culmination of likely the biggest decision of a 17 or 18-year old's life will be a spectacle.
While the athletes have earned the spectacle, the reaction strikes me as disturbing. It's now the name of the semi-professional college game; a kid can change a program. The recruiting process and coverage of it are a business, and the clientele is hungry for more.
The consumers – large bases of lifelong fans and proud alumni – fuel the process. They want to know where the defensive back is leaning. They're interested to know if that running back who runs a 4.3 in the 40-yard dash wants to stay close to home.
Information is everywhere. Some recruits take to Twitter and engage with fans. Others – like Mackensie Alexander – try to keep the process private. There's something special about Alexander's approach. He's keeping quiet and safe from the hungry masses. He realizes they are starving for his commitment.
Ask Chris Jones how serious the starvation is. The Houston, MS. defensive end has received death threats over his recent recruiting trips to Ole Miss after his verbal commitment to Mississippi State.
In an interview with ESPN as documented by CBS, Jones recounted the madness:
"It was a crazy weekend," Jones said. "I received death threats, insane messages, you name it. I mean, it has not been as stressful as people would think it has been. I have tried to handle it in the most comfortable way possible, so it has really been all right for me, and in the end, I am very blessed to have this opportunity to play for either in-state school."
While there's certainly a tongue-in-cheek Mississippi joke to be told here, the joke is on no one. A young adult is making a decision and people are willing to threaten his life over it.
There aren't enough words to describe what's wrong with this picture. Can we get past the point of being petulant children and let things play out as they will?
It's an example of the college recruiting game. If Jones goes to school and fails, drops out or transfers, his importance will dwindle to nothing. Another recruit or transfer will take his spot. We'll all go home happy if the team does well, never mind what happened to Jones. It tells us all we need to know about where big-time college athletes stand in the eyes of many fans.
The kids are athletes. Their personal choices and struggles might be well-documented and reviewed. Yet, at the end of the day, fans want the Chris Jones' of the world to commit to their school. Then, they want him to stay out of trouble and perform well fairly quickly. Then, they want him to stay in school for the duration of his eligibility.
You see, few of these fans give a damn about Chris Jones. They give a damn about their program. They give a damn about the school where they first learned what it was like to feel a connection to a team. They give a damn about bragging rights over their neighbor who went to a rival school. Jones can provide that. If he doesn't, what good is he?
It parallels the NFL Draft hype. When a player becomes what he is, it's really a matter of patterned behavior we see play out. Aside from the end of a career and the very beginning, the quantity is mostly known.
Fans want to see new things. They want to see them grow into great things. Then, they want to see more new things and better things. Eventually, the names on the draft board are the same as the names in the recruiting lists.
They are just numbers and names with measurables. Yet, in the pro game, the rookies are earning paychecks. They're supposed to be grown men. College recruits are kids. It makes the similar meat market mentality completely sickening. Coaches and staffs are similar. They all eat from the same trough and the eating's good when the names shoot up the Rivals rankings.

A 25-item Internet survey about thickened liquids was posted via an e-mail list to members of the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association Division 13, Swallowing and Swallowing Disorders (Dysphagia). Responses of 145 professionals who primarily manage adult dysphagia are reported. Although the majority affirmed that thickening thin liquids was an effective intervention strategy, opinions about effectiveness were more favorable for nectar-thick versus honey-like and spoon-thick consistencies. Respondents also acknowledged that their patients had little liking for thickened liquids. Results highlight issues related to products and staff training, as well as perceptions concerning the factors that might affect patients' acceptance of and compliance with use of the products.

Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Mat Latos hurled 7 1/3 scoreless innings as the Cincinnati Reds held on for a 3-1 victory in the first of two meetings against the Oakland Athletics at Great American Ball Park.
Latos (11-3) allowed just four hits and three walks and retired eight of the final nine batters he faced while improving to 7-1 at home this year.
Shin-Soo Choo went 2-for-3 with a double, a walk and two runs scored while Jay Bruce added a solo homer for the Reds, who got back in the win column after losing two of three to the St. Louis Cardinals last weekend.
"We just needed a win," Reds manager Dusty Baker said. "We have to build on it."
The AL West-leading A's were nearly shut out for the third time during their current 1-5 slide, thanks in part to going 0-for-8 with runners in scoring position and stranding eight baserunners.
"We're not swinging our bats, there's no doubt about that," Athletics manager Bob Melvin said. "We just have to grind through it."
Derek Norris hit a pinch-hit homer off Aroldis Chapman in the ninth to avoid the whitewash.
Dan Straily (6-6) lasted just four innings and allowed two runs on six hits as the rookie dropped his fourth straight start since being recalled from Triple- A Sacramento.
Bruce muscled an opposite-field shot into the seats in left-center leading off the second, and the Reds got another run in the third when Brandon Phillips, who hit into a double play to end a promising first inning, singled in Choo.
After battling through a 26-pitch first inning, Latos needed just 35 to get through the next three frames, the stretch highlighted by Bruce lunging for a run-saving catch at the warning track in the fourth.
A Phillips error put two A's in scoring position with one out in the fifth, and after retiring Eric Sogard on a harmless pop out, Latos walked Jed Lowrie to load the bases.
Yoenis Cespedes, though, grounded out sharply to end the threat, and an unearned run in the bottom half pushed the Reds' lead to 3-0. Choo greeted reliever Jerry Blevins with a double and Derrick Robinson followed with a bouncer back to the mound that Blevins threw away, allowing Choo to score.
Latos was pulled after Lowrie doubled down the first-base line with one out in the eighth, and J.J. Hoover retired the next two hitters to bridge the gap to Chapman.
The hard-throwing Reds closer struck out Josh Donaldson and Josh Reddick prior to Norris' blast to straightaway center, then came back to strike out pinch- hitter Alberto Callaspo for his 26th save of the season.
This was Oakland's first trip to Great American Ball Park ... Hoover has
thrown 20 2/3 scoreless innings since June 13 -- a span of 18 straight
appearances ... Phillips posted his team-leading 84th RBI ... Sogard extended
his hitting streak to 12 games with a double in the first inning ... Straily
has not won since July 9 ... The A's have scored two runs in their last 25
innings ... Oakland swept a two-game home set with the Reds from June 25-26.

Delayed tail fin deployment mechanism and method
Image Number 7 for
United States Patent #7628353
A hold down device positioned on the projectile to exert a known spring force in opposition to the centrifugal force provides an inexpensive, light weight and reliable delayed fin deployment mechanism for boosted fin-stabilized spinning projectiles. When the forcing moment produced by the centrifugal force acting on the fin exceeds the opposing moment produced by the hold down device, the hold down device will release the fin allowing it to swing into its deployed position. Thus, proper selection of the spring force and positioning of the hold down device will cause the fins to deploy at a predetermined spin rate. The spin rate can be correlated to a time or travel distance of the projectile from launch. The incorporation of the hold down devices requires minimal design changes to existing rockets and may, in some cases, be retrofit to the existing base of rockets if desired.

Corpse of Pakistani Teenager Exhumed From Grave and Sexually Assaulted
- Order Reprints
- Text Size
By Ankita Mehta | July 4, 2013 10:03 PM EST
In an apparent case of necrophilia, a teenage girl's dead body was allegedly sexually assaulted by an unidentified man in Gujranwala district of Pakistan's Punjab province.
The corpse was reportedly exhumed from the girl's grave hours after her burial. The girl, who is a grade-VI student, had been electrocuted to death while having a bath in her house, in Qila Didar Singh town on Tuesday.
Muhammad Munir, the girl's father, buried her at a graveyard in Gujranwala district later in the evening.
The next morning when family members and relatives went to graveyard to offer fateh (prayer) they saw her body lying outside the grave. They later informed the police about the incident.
Police suspected that the body was exhumed by the man with the intention of rape. "The extent of damage done to the body will be confirmed once the investigation is complete and the criminals involved would be punished accordingly," ANI news reported police officials as saying.
Chief Minister of Punjab Province of Pakistan, Shahbaz Sharif, has ordered an immediate investigation into the incident.
Necrophilia, also known as thanatophilia or necrolagni, means sexual attraction towards corpses. Several cases of necrophilia have been reported from across the world.
In February, an 18-year-old woman from Joliet, Illinois, was arrested for killing two men and allegedly having sex with their corpses.
In 2009, a 13-year-old boy was arrested for having sex with a dead three-year-old girl. The boy grabbed the girl took her to his home and drowned her to death into a basin full of water. He later threw the girl's body from the fifth floor.
"A postmortem examination on May 21 confirmed that the girl was first killed and then sexually assaulted," said an official of the Haizhu district public security bureau in Guangzhou, Guangdong province.

How Do We Define And Measure Mobile Engagement Effectively?
by Amanda Parker on Nov 20, 8:26 AM
Mobile advertising has a content problem on its hands -- how can engagement, data, and creative all correlate with one another? A consumer's ability and willingness to engage with content is the biggest factor in determining its consumability. But the industry still lacks a standard set of best practices for gathering and utilizing consumer data. The result is a data collection free-for-all, where brands and advertisers try to collect as much data as possible.

Jacking Into Moments: Conquesting, User Modding And The Ongoing Disconnect About Mobility
by Steve Smith on Nov 18, 11:45 AM
Mobile marketers are looking for countless ways to interrupt and modify user behavior, in much the way they have in other media for a century. They still only half-grasp how much mobility is tied up with people's sense of empowerment and self.

Marketing, in its purest form, tells a story -- ideally, a good story. However, the reception of the story, similar to the reception of a marketing campaign, can be highly subjective. A nail-biting account of the sudden death, come-from-behind win of the Super Bowl underdog will likely command a better reaction, and have a higher degree of engagement, when delivered at a sports bar than shared at a bridge club meeting. The customer response to marketing efforts, similar to the response to fairy tales and sports stories, can fluctuate greatly depending on the audience.

Why User-Generated Content Is The New Marketing Currency
by Richard Jones on Nov 13, 12:13 PM
With user-generated content so rich and freely available online, straight marketing messages just aren't cutting it like they used to. Marketing must move into a participatory age where user-generated content sits at the center of the customer journey and brand Web sites emerge as social hubs in their own right. Marketers that recognize the true potential of social content will reap the benefits.

A Relationship Is More Than A Moment
by Paul Krasinski on Nov 6, 10:13 AM
The best marketing is based on relationships, which can truly encourage behavior and an emotional response in a way that banner ads, coupon offers and pop-up messages cannot. This is especially relevant in the mobile environment, where consumers have a deep and emotional relationship with their smartphones. They expect the experiences they engage with from publishers and advertisers to be equally tailored and relevant. The goal is to build the relationship through strong, relevant content and enable consumers to participate, thus enabling your brand to join the conversation.

What If Politicians Paid You To View Their Ads?

In another scheme to pay consumers directly for their attention, a new platform will put cash in your PayPal account if you take an SMS message from political candidates. Can they actually pay us enough to voluntarily expose ourselves to more of this stuff?

Over-Beaconed Shoppers Opt Out
by Leslie Townsend on Oct 30, 9:35 AM
As retail apps are increasingly accepted by consumers, it is imperative that retailers utilize beacons to retain customers, vie for their discretionary spending, and motivate them to return. Through the use of beaconing, retailers can obtain valuable data about consumer in-store experiences.

My iPhone, My Self: Fumbling For Life's New Remote

We are only beginning to understand the extent to which these devices are blending the functionality of media with that of real world tools. It is becoming an extension of ourselves in that classic McLuhanesque way: a method of asserting power and reach.

How iPhone 6 Sensors Will Change Mobile Advertising
by Sal Candela on Oct 23, 9:52 AM
All our research suggests that people are spending more and more time on their mobile devices - searching, shopping, communicating, sharing, and gaming. But most take for granted the superior hardware inside our devices that enables us to perform these daily tasks in a seamless, fluid manner. A significant piece of hardware will be the key that unlocks more utility from both a consumer and advertising perspective: namely, sensors.

For much of the past year, investors in Samsung Electronics Co. have argued that boosting shareholder returns would help the company reverse a dramatic stock slide as its smartphone business comes under assault. And for much of the past year, that appeal seemed to fall on deaf ears with management, who argued that the company needed to pile up cash for future investments -- even as the stock continued to plumb fresh two-year lows.
A federal appeals court on Wednesday threw out antitrust claims by phone maker Motorola Mobility that sought damages from Asian electronics companies for alleged price fixing on liquid-crystal-display panels.
Many of Asia's aging tech titans found that leaving the companies they founded or helped build is proving to be as difficult a task as building their empires.
Samsung Electronics said it would buy back $2 billion of its shares, its first such move in seven years, as it deploys some of its $60 billion cash hoard to shore up its flagging share price.
Samsung Group will sell controlling stakes in chemical and defense units for $1.7 billion as South Korea's largest conglomerate continues restructuring moves ahead of an expected leadership succession.
Within a generation, South Korea has entered the ranks of rich nations, forging homegrown champions like Samsung Electronics Co. and Hyundai Motor Co.
Apple Inc. just reached a market value of $700 billion. That's huge. Here are 17 facts about the world's most valuable company, compiled by the Dow Jones stats team.
Sony pledged to return its money-losing smartphone unit to profitability over the next year even if it means drastically lower sales.
Samsung Electronics Co. said Tuesday it has developed a next-generation mouse that can help people with disabilities type, scroll and navigate the Internet without the use of hands. The project, called EYECAN+, uses a sensor mounted below a computer monitor to read a user's eye movements, with a blink of the eye used to register a click of the mouse to either copy, paste, select all, zoom in or activate another of 18 basic computer functions.
Milk Studios, a photography and media company, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. against Samsung, alleging trademark infringement by the South Korean technology giant's music-streaming service and mobile application.
For the past year and a half, Samsung Electronics Co. has been led by three co-chief executives. But that unusual arrangement could be coming to an end during an annual year-end reshuffle that is expected to take place next week, according to people familiar with the matter.
Good morning. Cyberattacks on mobile devices are accelerating, just as some companies are beginning to adopt a mobile-first approach to computing. That's not surprising, but it's up to CIOs and CISOs to address the security problems without derailing an important evolution of the business.
As the number of instances where activist investors take ownership stakes in companies to affect changes in strategy, governance or leadership continue to rise, what can companies do to get ahead of the curve?
Forecasts for stock market investment in 2015 are beginning to emerge – and they are decidedly lackluster. Reports that many investment strategists are predicting stock market gains of as low as 5% next year. That's less than half of the S&P 500 index's performance this year – already up at 11.6%. But these dismal projections could be hiding some potentially good news.
Samsung is considering a major leadership shake-up after a year that saw its profitability, market share and stock prices slide.
Best Buy Co. said sales grew at the fastest rate in four years, helped by a more disciplined approach to discounting, greater investment by suppliers in its stores and strong demand for the new iPhone.
Apple was ordered this week to pay $23.6 million in damages after a Texas jury found that its devices used technology patented in the 1990s by a pager company.
BlackBerry Ltd. Chief Executive John Chen's forecasting chops are on the line after Morgan Stanley suggested the Canadian smartphone maker could miss its target for revenue from software sales.
Good morning. IBM on Tuesday launched a cloud-based service called IBM Verse that combines email with other collaboration, social and analytic functions.
Nvidia said Samsung Electronics filed a lawsuit earlier this month accusing Nvidia of infringing on some of the South Korean company's patents.

SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwired) -- 05/08/14 -- Brocade (NASDAQ: BRCD) announced today the hiring of networking and open-source veteran Colin Dixon to the position of Principal Engineer. An active contributor to the OpenDaylight Project, Dixon is considered a foremost authority on Software-Defined Networking (SDN), specifically as it applies to scalable and distributed systems.
Dixon has spent the past decade focused on the advancement of networking, protocols and data center technologies through his academic and industry research initiatives. His most recent work examined how to build network fabrics using commodity Ethernet hardware controlled by software running on servers. This includes building millisecond-scale monitoring and control capabilities, hardware-agnostic multipath forwarding and practical support for lossless Ethernet.
Previously, Dixon worked on building enterprise networks using what the industry today refers to as Network Functions Virtualization (NFV) long before any such term existed. His research also spanned to far-reaching areas such as enabling the "Internet of Things" deployments in the home as part of the End to the Middle (ETTM) and HomeOS research projects.
"Colin has spent his career focused on where the network is headed, not where it is today, and this will serve as a big benefit to Brocade as we continue to refine our strategy," said Kelly Herrell, VP and GM of Software Networking, Brocade. "Colin brings a deep and technical background that spans both the hardware and software spectrums that will define next-generation mobile and cloud networks."
Dixon's work on SDN has been recognized industry-wide, including within the OpenDaylight Project. Upon the formation of the project, he co-authored the "Dixon-Erickson OpenDaylight Merged Controller Proposal," which now serves as the core controller plan of record for the Project.
Further, his work in standards bodies has been felt industry-wide. He worked with the Open Networking Foundation (ONF) Forwarding Abstractions Working Group (FAWG) to lay the groundwork for Table Type Pattern (TTP) standard that enables switches and controllers to negotiate richer functionality with the OpenFlow protocol. This work resulted in him being named an Outstanding Technical Contributor in October 2012.
"Brocade has recognized the importance of open architectures for the future of networking and is aggressively focused on delivering the solutions built for the next era of networking," Dixon said. "The company's active participation in industry organizations beyond OpenDaylight is a testament to Brocade's commitment to this vision and one that I am excited to be a part of."
Previously, Dixon served in various research roles at IBM Research's Austin Lab, the University of Washington, Microsoft Research and Intel Research.
Dixon will join the engineering leadership team of the Software Networking business unit at Brocade and focus on open source initiatives, such as OpenDaylight. Other notable software networking and open source hires this year at Brocade include Tom Nadeau and Benson Schliesser.

When an enterprise builds a hybrid IaaS cloud connecting its data center to one or more public clouds, security is often a major topic along with the other challenges involved. Security is closely intertwined with the networking choices made for the hybrid cloud. Traditional networking approaches for building a hybrid cloud try to kludge together the enterprise infrastructure with the public cloud. Consequently this approach requires risky, deep "surgery" including changes to firewalls, subnets...

Protect your pets from heat this summer
Updated On: Jul 18 2013 08:55:15 AM CDT
Your pets are part of your family, and as such it is important to protect them during the summer. Hot weather and humidity can prove a dangerous combination for both cats and dogs, and the precautions you need to take will depend on a number of factors.
How Pets Cool Off
Most people know that dogs do not sweat during hot weather; instead, they pant. Cats, however, do sweat, according to Indiana University, specifically through their paws. In fact, cats use both sweating and panting for heat regulation.
Providing Necessary Resources
Pets will naturally seek out methods to cool themselves off during hot weather. If pets are housed outside during the summer, for example, it is important to provide them with a shaded area and a plentiful source of water.
If possible, it is also a good idea to keep them indoors during the hottest times of the day.
Signs of Heat Exhaustion
Pets will tell you if they are affected too strongly by hot weather, so it is important to recognize the signs of heat exhaustion.
According to the New York Red Cross, signs of heat stroke in dogs include increased body temperature (104 to 111 degrees Fahrenheit), heavy panting, red gums, lethargy, extreme thirst and rapid heartbeat.
Heat exhaustion in cats presents very much the same way, and might also include thick saliva.
Animals in Danger
Certain pets are more susceptible to heat exhaustion and heat stroke in hot weather than others. Older animals, for example, are not as strong as they were in their youth and might experience increased temperatures with much less provocation. The same goes for kittens and puppies who have not yet reached maturity.
Additionally, pets with thicker coats may experience heat exhaustion in hot weather more often. Many grooming facilities offer shaving services to help keep your pets cool during the summer.
Believe it or not, your pets can sunburn during the summer. Their noses, in particular, are vulnerable to UV rays. Pet owners can purchase sunscreen formulated specifically for pets to help keep animals safe when outside during the summer. Again, it is also a good idea to provide shade for animals who are housed outside.
Cooling an Overheated Pet
If your pets get overheated during hot weather, there are several things you can do to help cool them off and prevent further damage. Small amounts of water are recommended for overheated animals, but make sure to limit water intake. Drinking too much can cause damage to the kidneys and stomach. Pets can also be bathed in cool water until their temperatures start to drop. Cold water can constrict blood vessels and prevent the cooling process, so make sure to keep the water just under room temperature.
Limiting Activity
Most pets can have fun in the sun during hot weather as long as activity is kept to a minimum. Pay attention to your pets when playing in the yard or running at the beach, and make sure they have access to water on a regular basis.
Watch the local weather channel for news on the heat index. If a heat advisory is announced, it is usually a good idea to keep pets indoors or at least in the shade until temperatures cool off. This is an excellent guideline for making sure your pets are safe during hot weather.

Amnesty is part of the President of the United States pardon authority, but only on a case-by-case, individual basis. To issue an executive order to blanket amnesty for millions without congressional approval is unconstitutional - unlawful use of executive power. None of those visa extensions or pardons for illegal immigrants received any civil background check.
We have seen the "Change" that Barack Hussein Obama had in mind in 2008, enacted via probably the most corrupted administration in the history of the United States by a president who had stated that he could not declare amnesty for so many illegal immigrants without congressional approval. Using his lawyer skills to circumvent law, more like polluting it, President Obama has done just what he said he could not do lawfully.

The order comes from a mobile network operator in Asia. Comtech officials declined to name the operator.
Under the terms of the deal, Comtech's Tempe, Ariz.-based subsidiary, Comtech EF Data Corp., will supply the operator with the modems and RF products needed to upgrade and expand its satellite-based mobile network.
Comtech officials said installing the modems at new sites and upgrading at existing sites will add network optimization for the Asian network operator.

Washington Congressman Norm Dicks won't run for 19th term
Send this to a friend

- Staff Writer- Puget Sound Business Journal
- Email | Twitter
Norm Dicks, the 6th District congressman best known in the region for bringing home the bacon for Boeing and Washington military bases, announced Friday that he won't run for a 19th term.
Dicks, a Democrat, served as chair of the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee when the Democrats were in power. In that role he pushed for Boeing to win a major Air Force tanker contract last year and helped bring other defense dollars to the state.
He and his wife Suzie have decided to "change gears and enjoy life at a different pace," he said in a statement. He was first elected to Congress in 1976.
Dicks said he was proud of his accomplishments in the environmental and social arenas, including working to protect the waters of Puget Sound and supporting the removal of the Elwha River dam.
U.S. Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., said Dicks will leave behind a legacy of public service.
"Norm Dicks is a true Washington state institution. But more than that, he is my mentor, my friend, my advisor, my teammate, and my brother. He is our state's quarterback here in Congress, and I can't imagine our delegation without him," she said in a statement.

Search Effort Continues For Man Missing In Delaware River
KNOWLTON, N.J. (CBSNewYork/AP) – Emergency responders have resumed their search for a man who went missing after a tubing accident on the Delaware River in northwestern New Jersey.
The 38-year-old man was tubing with several others Saturday afternoon when his tube and the tube of his 14-year-old daughter both broke free. The two tubes then drifted toward the Pennsylvania side of the river and overturned.
The teenager reached land on the Pennsylvania side, but the other group members couldn't find her father. Authorities said the group had embarked earlier in the day from a campground in Knowlton.
The New Jersey State Police resumed the search effort early Sunday after it was suspended around 8 p.m. Saturday.
The accident occurred just hours after officials had issued a warning that the river had crested several feet above normal due to heavy rains upstream.

WISN President & GM Jan Wade in an e-mail wrote, "Due to these unfortunate circumstances, our Brewers player will change. Although at this time I am not certain as to who that player will be" (JSONLINE.com, 7/23).
