LifeProof Raises the Bar in Protection and National Brand Awareness
SAN DIEGO – March 18, 2014 – Smartphone and tablet case maker LifeProof® continues to push the boundaries of what consumers expect from device protection. The award-winning maker of four-proof designs that take on water, drops, dirt and snow has quickly become a household name since launching its first case in 2010 and is now the first case company to launch a national television campaign showcasing what the brand can do.
Founded on the principle of freedom – the freedom to utilize smartphones and tablets in almost any situation and environment – LifeProof was the first company to create a sleek case which could be used underwater, pass military standards for shock and impact protection and seal the device from dirt, dust and snow, all while allowing the user to access all of the device features.
The TV campaign features two ads. The first, entitled "Hyphens" features several consumers speaking to the waterproof, drop proof, dust proof and snow proof benefits of the case. The second ad, "Baby," features a toddler taking his mother's phone and having an interesting experience with it that demonstrates the waterproof benefit in a very memorable way.
The TV ads are running on national cable TV throughout March and early April.

U-T 32 Week Four
Chargers drop two rungs, but they get a Christmas gift from the injury gods.
1 -- Texans (3-0). They are the AFC's only unbeaten team, and the statistics say they're not a fluke. They're in the NFL's top five in points scored, fewest points allowed, turnover differential and margin of victory. Winning at Denver isn't easy, and the Texans did it pretty easily. No one can block J.J. Watt.
Last week: won at Broncos.
This week: Titans.
2 -- 49ers (2-1). Film of their loss to the Vikings will be as popular with NFL coaches as The Avengers was this year with moviegoers. Somehow, the stingy Niners gave up 146 yards rushing, the most in the Harbaugh Era.
Last week: lost at Vikings.
This week: at Jets
3 -- Giants (2-1). OK, football lover. You have one game to win this year. Who's your quarterback? We'll take Eli and give you the field.
Last week: won at Panthers.
This week: at Eagles.
4 -- Falcons (3-0). Hollywood stars wish they could age like Tony Gonzalez. The tight end, 36, schooled several Chargers on Sunday. Mike Smith's Falcons lead the NFL in turnover differential, yet only Falcons relatives can identify several of the team's defenders.
Last week: won at Chargers.
This week: Panthers.
5 – Cardinals (3-0). They ought to send Seattle several free-stay vouchers for a Scottsdale resort. When the Seahawks KO'd their quarterback in the opener, the desert dwellers turned to Kevin Kolb. All he's done is lead them past the Seahawks, Patriots and Eagles.
Last week: beat Eagles.
This week: Dolphins.
6 – Patriots (1-2). Linebacker Brandon Spikes, cousin of the Chargers' Takeo, angry after the Pats took some tough penalties, said the replacement refs need to go back to Foot Locker. Not done Tweeting, Spikes went Old Testament, wondering why God is punishing the Pats. Ever hear of Spygate, Brandon? Bill Belichick, acting like he's bigger than the NFL, grabbed a ref after his team's mistake-filled defeat Sunday night.
Last week: lost at Ravens
This week: at Bills.
7 – Ravens (2-1). They rallied around teammate Torrey Smith, who, playing on the same day that his younger brother died in a motorcycle accident, caught two touchdown passes in the comeback victory over New England. Said Ray Lewis: "Before every blessing, there is a storm."
Last week: beat Patriots.
This week: Browns.
8 – Cowboys (2-1). Jason Witten isn't playing like Jason Witten. The tight end leads the NFL in drops with six. A tough guy, Witten may have rushed back too soon following a spleen injury in the preseason. The Star's safeties are banged up. Tony Romo, imperiled by his line, is taking more hits than a tackling dummy.
Last week: Beat Bucs.
This week: Bears.
9 – Packers (1-2). First things first: The Packers have a cardboard offensive line, and their defense is ordinary. Aaron Rodgers, sacked eight times in the first half of Monday night's game, is getting a taste of Brett Favre's life early in No. 4's Packers tenure, when Favre often had to run for his life. Flaws aside, the Packers were jobbed by the replacement refs on Monday, not just on the final play but throughout Seattle's final two drives. Said ESPN's Jon Gruden, who worked the game: "I'm about to jump out of this pressbox. This is wrong. I don't feel good about this."

Morgana dreams of a jubilant celebration as Arthur crowns his new queen, Guinevere. To test her vision, Morgana probes Gwen on her true feelings about Arthur. When Gwen admits they are strong, Morgana is encouraging. Later that day, Arthur finds Morgana waiting for him. At first, he denies his feelings for Gwen, but quickly relents. Morgana flatters his sentiment and goads the young Prince to spend time with Gwen, and Uther need never find out.
Encouraged, Arthur asks Merlin to ask Gwen to spend the day with him. Gwen, however, has her doubts - what if someone saw them? Merlin convinces her, saying Arthur is never happier than when he is with her.
The next day, Morgana follows as Merlin leads Gwen to a waiting Arthur. Merlin leaves them to enjoy a tender picnic together, Morgana watching on. Gwen tries to offer food to the Prince, but her service is rejected: she is not there to be his servant. Arthur and Gwen finish their meal, and move into a passionate embrace. Their kiss is cut short, though, as Uther and Morgana gallop into the glade and catch them red-handed. Uther is shocked, but teases his son - he's familiar with the temptations of serving girls.
Arthur is relieved, but Uther follows by insisting he must never see Guinevere again. Arthur cannot hide his feelings any longer: He loves Gwen. Uther is appalled by such an outburst and becomes grave - not only must Arthur never see her again, but she shall be banished from the city.
Morgana arrives at Arthur's chambers to offer sympathy, and Arthur admits he plans to leave Camelot with Gwen. Morgana realises she cannot allow this to happen, and plants a poultice in Arthur's room. She will use Uther's hatred of sorcery to end their relationship once and for all.
Taken by the idea Arthur is enchanted, the King searches Arthur's room and the poultice is quickly found. Reminded of his dealings with her father, Uther demands for Gwen's immediate arrest. Arthur arrives in the Council Chambers to see Uther slapping Gwen for her impudence in defending herself. His father pronounces judgement: Gwen must be burnt at the stake. As she is dragged away, Gwen is shocked to see Morgana smiling.
Delivering a message from Arthur, Merlin asks Gwen if she has any idea who might have planted the poultice. Reluctantly, she admits she suspects Morgana. Troubled, Merlin comes up with a plan to make Uther believe another sorcerer was involved. He will use magic to disguise himself and deliberately get caught planting another, identical poultice.
Having cast the spell, Old Merlin deliberately allows Arthur to see him before entering the Prince's chambers. As he positions the charm, Arthur intercepts him. Panicking, Old Merlin tells Arthur he is Dragoon the Great. Realising he might be discovered, Merlin uses magic to escape, hoping to incant the spell in time to return to his normal self. Hiding from Arthur and the guards he tries once, twice, but nothing happens.
Old Merlin is taken to the Council Chambers and confesses. Reluctantly, Uther agrees to release Gwen and instead place Dragoon on the pyre. As Gwen is released, Old Merlin takes her place in the cells. Gaius comes to visit him, and Merlin admits he will die unless an antidote can be made. Gaius leaves to work on the potion.
Merlin is led into the square just as his mentor finally achieves the right concoction. Gaius manages to slip the vial to Old Merlin as he is led towards the pyre. Desperate, he uses magic to set the pyre alight and, in the chaos, runs into the castle, turning back into his normal self just in time.
Gwen and her mistress share an awkward embrace, but neither trusts the other. Later, as Gwen walks through the Palace, Arthur pulls her to one side. They mustn't be seen together but that does not change his feelings for her. Both are sad they must be apart for now, but hopeful that the day when they can be together will come.

Creator Matt Weiner and the cast of Mad Men talk about what is in store for Season 4.
Find out how Mad Men's Christina Hendricks, Elisabeth Moss, and January Jones feel about their characters heading into Season 4, plus their favorite outfits from the show and more!
Mad Men Costume Designer Janie Bryant takes us inside the wardrobe truck for a look at the clothing of Season 4 and discusses how the outfits help the actors feel like their characters.
She had a rough year, and found out her husband was an impostor. Its a fresh start for Betty and AMC's Mad Men. Season 4 Premieres July 25th.
He had a wife and a family… now he doesn't know what he has, so he started a new Agency. Its a fresh start for Don and AMC's Mad Men. Season 4 Premieres July 25th.
If you want to be a Mad Man, you've got to learn to pitch like Don Draper. Don has a profound ability to personalize his speeches and tell people what they really want.
In the life of Mad Men, ignorance is bliss.
To be a Mad Man, you've got to break some rules… like monogamy, for example. The characters on the show have a different sense of right and wrong about their affairs.
Being a Mad Man isn't all fun and games. You need to be prepared for a fight.
You may be a hard worker, but being a Mad Man means knowing how to indulge.

Will it be a Boy or a Girl?
Yes, the baby is still sitting pretty inside my wife's tummy!
Since we chose not to know if our soon-to-be-born baby is going to male or female, here are photographs in the two colours that society deems to be most associated with both genders.
Yeah, just an excuse to post an array of random photographs from my Redbubble gallery.
First we'll go with the pink photographs. Because, deep down, I'd like to have a little girl in the house.
And to be fair to all those that believe we are about to have a little boy, here are some blue photographs you'll surely enjoy.
Funny thing is, I am filling our child's nursery with organic colours, particularly yellow, orange, cream, green, brown and seemingly-neutral colours. Maybe I will post photographs from that colour range tomorrow night!
Baby Update + Photography
I'm not writing a lot these days as we are busy making our home ready for the baby. Yep, it's only six weeks away – so lots of changes need to happen. Thankfully we have the nursery ready for sleeping. There's enough teddy bears to give one a month for the next few years!
Today we went to BabyBunting where we fell in love with so many items! I'd like to get a 'Moses Basket' and the 'Mountain Buggy Swift Carry Cot'! Sarah is adamant we will get an 'ERGO Sports Baby Carrier' and a 'Sound Monitor'. Seems her wants are more valid than mine, but that's fine with me. And we still need suitable baby-clothing and furniture!
When it comes to toys, we'd prefer our children grow up with the same as we had at this age, particularly those both educational and colourful – ie: The Little Golden Books, Winnie the Pooh, rubber duckies for the bathroom and a few other toys.
So instead of writing any further, I am linking to photographs within my online galleries. (I gotta pay for the baby stuff somehow!)
It's either that or linking to youtube video's that show baby's having their umbilical cord cut, or links to baby toys I'd like to buy. Yeah, I'll post that stuff to Facebook … and use my blog to post images I need you to buy so I can buy the kid toys!
Without further adieu, I encourage you to browse through the photographs on display here, follow the link in each image, and check out the many mediums upon which you can have my art displayed in your home. (Aha, semi-subtle suggestion!)
Want more? There's hundreds more within my FAA gallery, and I'm going to be adding more over the next few weeks. Another way to view them is upon my Facebook Business page. For those of you with a FAA gallery, I'd be most happy if you left a comment. If you are a photographer and member of FAA, let me know so we may connect.
All Within Three Months
One month from now, the most amazing change in 15 years will happen in our house.
Three months from now, the first will pale into comparison as the most amazing event in 43 years will happen.
1. New bathroom, laundry and ensuite. I'll then be able to have a bath – for the first time in over ten years! Photos will be supplied when completed. I expect they will blow your minds.
2. A baby. Without a doubt, this will blow my mind, my budget, and everything in between. Yes, photos will be supplied.
Relatively speaking, nothing else matters.
So I may not post as often between now and then. When I do, it will relate more to baby's and associated subjects.
PS: The child in the photograph is one of my gorgeous nieces.
Ten Start-Ups from around the World
It's official: Australia is the second easiest place in the world to start a business, according to the World Bank.
Aside from the ease of starting and the healthy numbers of people who run businesses in Australia, there are several impressive Government run programs aimed at helping start-ups, ranging from the likes of Innovation Australia to schemes such as G'Day USA.
However, it's clear that much more could be done to help budding Australian entrepreneurs. This week's unveiling of the Obama administration's huge Startup America program prompted us to ask
– What are the best Government start-up schemes around the world that we'd like to see in Australia?

November 3, 2010 12:20 PM
That's right. This is [lastfm link_type=""]Lorrie Morgan[/lastfm]'s sixth trip down the aisle. Lorrie married NFL Hall of Famer [lastfm link_type=""]Randy White [/lastfm]at an undisclosed beach side ceremony on September 15th. It's the second marriage for
Randy, a former Dallas Cowboy. One can only hope and pray that Lorrie has finally found happiness, especially since her prior five marriages lasted a total of twenty-five years. Mercy.

Anne Arundel County Police Chief Larry Tolliver announced his retirement Tuesday.
Tolliver said his resignation would be effective May 21.
In a press release issued, Tolliver stated that the department "needs a chief who can focus solely on the department's mission, something that is challenging to do in the current environment."
Last month, an investigation was launched into Tolliver's actions, as he had been accused of retaliating against officers who testified against former county executive John Leopold.
Tolliver's full statement is below:
"Today, I submitted to County Executive Laura Neuman my resignation as chief of the Anne Arundel County Police Department, effective May 21, 2013. I have appreciated the opportunity to lead this department during a difficult period in its history, and I am proud of the progress we were able to make in a short time.
"I am resigning today because the department needs a chief who can focus solely on the department's mission, something that is challenging to do in the current environment. Although it is contemporaneous with these events, my return to retirement is not stimulated by the widely reported recent complaint by an officer, nor by the similar false accusations in anonymous communications, nor by the external interagency investigation currently underway.
"The Department of Personnel determined that all of the several complaints lodged by an officer were unfounded, except for a single use of an insensitive term in one joking conversation with a personal friend. I acknowledged that offense before the investigation and apologized for it. Moreover, I respect the County Executive's authority to order external agencies to examine the Department, its leaders, and its operations. I have no doubt that this investigation will confirm the significant achievement of the department under my brief leadership and will find that I have enjoyed broad support within the agency for my leadership.
"My retirement is voluntary. It results from serious introspection and reflects my deep regard for the department. Although I am proud of the agency's accomplishments since I became chief in the wake of the former executive's indictment, I understand now that fully restoring the unity of purpose of this department and trust and truthfulness among its employees will be a long, difficult struggle. I very much want this department to succeed. My agreement to return to the department from retirement was always intended to be a transitional step for the department. No plant can thrive if the farmer insists on continuously pulling it up to check on the growth of its roots. The department needs stability and long-term leadership to thrive.
"With few exceptions, the men and women in the department cherish their role in protecting the public and give their best every day to that purpose. The public can feel safe in their hands. I thank them for their integrity, their dedication, and their support for me during my time as their chief. I wish them only the very best as they continue that important mission."

December 14, 2009 – Students interested in pursuing seminary after college can save a year of classes and tuition through Geneva College's new Three-and-Three Program in a partnership with the Reformed Presbyterian Theological Seminary (RPTS) in nearby Pittsburgh. The program enables students to complete a bachelor's degree from Geneva and a Master of Divinity (M.Div.) degree from the seminary in just six years.
"We are blessed to have Geneva College partner with us in this effort, and excited for the students who can take advantage of this opportunity," said RPTS President Dr. Jerry F. O'Neill.
The program is currently open to Geneva's Christian Ministry majors who follow the college's pre-seminary track, but other biblical studies majors at Geneva will be considered on a case-by-case basis. In order to maximize the potential of this program, students should notify the chairman of the Department of Biblical Studies, Christian Ministries, and Philosophy or their advisor as early in their years at Geneva as possible to ensure an appropriate selection of courses. Students are encouraged to apply to RPTS in their third year at Geneva College. Upon acceptance and the completion of 90 credits of coursework at Geneva, students may begin taking classes at RPTS. Over their years at the seminary, students are awarded their bachelor's degree from Geneva and graduate from RPTS with an M.Div.
Geneva College and RPTS are both institutions of the Reformed Presbyterian Church of North America (RPCNA), and the Three-and-Three Program will provide the two schools with unique opportunities for continuity and partnership.
According to Dr. Jerry O'Neill, president of RPTS, the two institutions have worked closely together in past endeavors, especially in Geneva's non-traditional programs offered in Pittsburgh. This is the first opportunity to provide a significant alternative to the typical seven years required for traditional students wanting both a bachelor's degree and a M.Div. degree in preparation for ministry.
"In this era in which so many students have to borrow tens of thousands of dollars to get their formal training, it is especially important for those who anticipate living on a minister's salary following graduation to reduce the cost of their education, when they can do so without sacrificing the quality of their preparation," said O'Neill.

Update on the latest in sports:
Titans get picky against Jets
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The New York Jets' faint playoff hopes have been picked off by the Tennessee Titans.
Mark Sanchez threw four interceptions among his five turnovers as the Jets lost 14-10 at Tennessee, eliminating New York from the postseason chase. Sanchez gave up the ball twice after the two minute warning to kill the Jets' chance at a must win.
The Jets reached the Tennessee 23 just before Michael Griffin picked off Sanchez at the two yard line with under two minutes left. And when Titans punter Brett Kern shanked a punt that landed out of bounds at the Tennessee 25 with 47 seconds left, Sanchez promptly fumbled the ensuing snap and watched Zach Brown pounce on the ball to clinch the outcome.
Chris Johnson carried 21 times for 122 yards, including a 94-yard touchdown run that put the Titans ahead in the second quarter. Griffin had two interceptions for the 5-9 Titans, who dropped the Jets to 6-8.
Boeheim gets 900th
UNDATED (AP) — First came Bob Knight, then Mike Krzyzewski, (shuh-SHEHF'-skee) and finally, Jim Boeheim (BAY'-heim).
Third-ranked Syracuse escaped with a 72-68 home win over Detroit to make Boeheim the third Division I men's basketball coach with 900 career wins. Boeheim was presented a jersey encased in glass with 900 emblazoned on it, 36 years after coaching his first game at the school.
James Southerland had 22 points as the 10-0 Orange extended the nation's longest home winning streak to 30 games. Michael Carter-Williams added 12 points and 10 assists for his sixth straight double-double.
Also in top-25 play, Jabari Brown scored 12 points in his first game in 13 months as 12th-ranked Missouri clobbered South Carolina State 102-51. An 18-2 run midway through the first half gave the Tigers a 31-11 lead with 5:58 left.
Anthony Marshall scored 13 points and Bryce DeJean-Jones added 12 for No. 21 UNLV in a 62-60 victory over UTEP. Katin Reinhardt scored 10 points for the 9-1 Rebels, who had a 17-2 run in the first half and still led by as many as 15 points in the second half.
Notre Dame beat a state rival, 74-62 win over IPFW. Pat Connaughton had 18 points, six rebounds and five assists for the 22nd-ranked Irish, who improved to 10-1.
Duke moves to No. 1
UNDATED (AP) — Duke is back on top of The Associated Press men's basketball poll. The Blue Devils, who are back on top of the poll for the 123rd time in school history, replace Indiana. The Hooisers suffered their first loss of the season Saturday as they were beaten by Butler in overtime.
The rest of the top-five this week features Michigan, followed by Syracuse, Arizona and Louisville.
The second five this week features Indiana, Ohio State, Florida, Kansas and Illinois.
Stanford stays on top
UNDATED (AP) — Stanford remains the top team in the AP's women's basketball poll. This marks five straight weeks the school has been No. 1.
Rounding out the top five are Connecticut and Baylor, Duke and Notre Dame.
Bulldogs may bolt for new conference
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Nineteenth-ranked Butler could be changing conferences again. Two days after school President James Danko told The Associated Press he would not rule out the possibility of joining a new conference with the seven Catholic schools that are leaving the Big East, he issued a statement calling the rumors a "tribute" to the Bulldogs' success.
Danko announced in May that the Bulldogs were leaving their longtime home, the Horizon League, for the Atlantic 10. The move was supposed to happen next year but was expedited this summer. Butler will not play its first Atlantic 10 game until January.
Thunder top Spurs to stay atop NBA West...Lin wins in return to Gotham
UNDATED (AP) — The Oklahoma City Thunder have an 11-game winning streak and the NBA's best record at 20-4 following a victory over a fellow Western Conference division leader.
Serge Ibaka (ih-BAH'-kah) tied his career high with 24 points and grabbed a season-high 17 rebounds in a 107-93 win against San Antonio. Russell Westbrook had 22 points and nine assists for the Thunder, who scored 11 straight points to take a 71-56 lead late in the third quarter.
Kevin Martin scored 20 and Kevin Durant had 19 while the Thunder held Tony Parker and Tim Duncan to a combined 26 points.
Jeremy Lin made a triumphant return to Madison Square Garden, although he had a lot of help from James Harden.
Lin had 22 points and eight assists as the Houston Rockets downed the New York Knicks 109-96. It was Lin's first game in New York since he left the Knicks last summer for a free-agent deal with the Rockets.
Lin received a warm ovation as the starting lineup was announced, but he got a mixed reception when he left the game with 2:25 remaining and the Rockets leading by 16.
Harden added 28 points and 10 rebounds in the Rockets' second blowout win over the Knicks.
New York had a four-game winning streak stopped despite a season-high 29 points from rookie Chris Copeland.
Elsewhere in the NBA, The Los Angeles Clippers picked up their 10th consecutive win as Jamal Crawford and Blake Griffin each scored 15 points in an 88-76 win at Detroit. Chris Paul added 14 points and seven assists as the Clippers improved to 8-3 on the road.
Memphis was an 80-71 winner over Chicago behind Mike Conley's 17 points. Zach Randolph added 10 points and 15 boards for the Grizzlies, who outrebounded the Bulls 51-39.
Glen Davis scored 29 points and Orlando ended Minnesota's four-game winning streak by beating the Timberwolves 102-93. J.J. Redick had 18 points and seven assists to help the Magic overcome Kevin Love's 23 points and 15 rebounds.
Shannon Brown scored 14 of his 22 points while Phoenix outscored Sacramento 31-14 in the third quarter of a 101-90 win over the Kings. Jared Dudley finished with 20 points and helped the Suns roar back from a 19-point deficit.
Dickey confirms deal with Jays
NEW YORK (AP) — R.A. Dickey has announced that he and the Blue Jays have agreed on a new contract, clearing the way for the New York Mets to trade the Cy Young winner to Toronto. The Blue Jays will also get catchers Josh Thole (TOH'-lee) and Mike Nickeas (NIK'-ee-uhs), who have experience catching Dickey's knuckleball. The Mets will get catcher John Buck, catching prospect Travis d'Arnaud (DAHR'-noh) and two other minor leaguers for the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner.
The 38-year-old knuckleballer must pass a physical before he joins the Blue Jays, who will pay him $29 over the next three years. Dickey was 20-6 with a 2.73 ERA last season, three years after the Mets signed him to a minor league contract.
Elsewhere in baseball:
— The Tigers have finalized their five-year contract with right-handed pitcher Anibal Sanchez, who helped Detroit reach the World Series this year. He had a 1.77 ERA in 20 1-3 innings over three postseason starts, but was 1-2 as the Tigers were shut out in each of his losses.
— The Houston Astros have signed veteran Carlos Pena (PAYN'-yuh) to be their designated hitter as the club prepares for its first season in the American League. The 34-year-old Pena spent last season with Tampa Bay, hitting .197 with 19 home runs and 61 RBIs. His most productive year came in 2007 when he hit 46 homers with 121 RBIs.
— The Chicago Cubs have signed third baseman Ian Stewart to a one-year contract. He batted .201 in 55 games this season before season-ending surgery on his left wrist.
— The Athletics have reportedly come to terms on a contract with shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima of Japan's Seibu Lions. Nakajima is a seven-time Pacific League All-Star who hit .302 with 149 home runs, 664 RBIs and 134 stolen bases over 11 seasons with Seibu.
Skins lose Black
ASHBURN, Va. (AP) — Washington Redskins tackle Jordan Black has been suspended without pay for four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance enhancing substances. The league says Black's suspension begins immediately and will include playoff games if the Redskins advance that far.
Black become the sixth Redskins player suspended by the league in less than two seasons for drugs-related issues.
Pa. prosecutor: Steroids found in Reid's room
EASTON, Pa. (AP) — A Pennsylvania prosecutor says his investigation into the fatal heroin overdose of Garrett Reid, the oldest son of Philadelphia Eagles coach Andy Reid, revealed there were steroids in his room the day he died.
The Northampton County District Attorney John Morganelli says there was no evidence that Reid was giving the steroids to any Eagles players. Garrett Reid's body was found in his dorm room at Lehigh University in Bethlehem, where he was assisting the Eagle's strength and conditioning coach during training camp.
Good news for fans of the Irish
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (AP) — Notre Dame nose guard Louis Nix III and offensive tackle Zack Martin will skip the NFL draft and return to school next year. Coach Brian Kelly also says running back Cierre Wood will wait until he receives an evaluation of his draft stock from an NFL advisory committee before deciding if he will return for another season.
The 325-pound Nix anchored one of the top defenses in college football. The junior had 45 tackles and two sacks.
Martin is Notre Dame's top offensive lineman and a three-year starter.
Wood is the team's second-leading rusher with 740 yards and four touchdowns.
New coach for Broncos
UNDATED (AP) — Western Michigan confirms that it has hired 32-year-old Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant P.J. Fleck as its head coach.
Fleck has worked for Bucs coach Greg Schiano (shee-AHN'-oh) the past three years, serving as receivers coach at Rutgers before following Schiano to Tampa Bay this season to do the same job.
UC Davis hires Ron Gould as football coach
DAVIS, Calif. (AP) — Former California running game coordinator Ron Gould has been hired as the new head coach at UC Davis.

Age: 29
Residence: Phoenix, AZ & Silverton, CO
Team Member Since: 2009
Occupation: Founder & Race Director, Aravaipa Running
Favorite Race Distance: 100 Miles
2013 Race Highlight: 3rd Place Angeles Crest 100 Mile
Favorite Quote:
The rational in doing such a sport, is to experience the extraordinary moments of exceeding. You cannot experience them in normal life.Yiannis Kouros
What is your most memorable race experience?
I have two. The first was my finish of the MMD (More & More Difficult) 50K race in the White Mountains of New Hampshire in 2008. This was a no fee, minimal aid fat ass style "race" with no course markings. The race director handed us a photocopied map and a written trail description at the start line. I had been invited to the race by my friend Steve Pero up at Hardrock the year before and the entrant's list was basically a who's who from the Barkley.
The MMD 50K is a race that they try to make tougher each year. My year, the race featured over 17,000 feet of elevation gain and subsequent loss over 32 miles. That is over half the climbing of Hardrock in less than a third of the distance! The race essentially climbed directly up to the summits of each of the named peaks in the Presidential range and then screamed straight back down to the base of the mountain range (and then was repeated over and over).
Some highlights of the run included a hail and thunderstorm at the top of Mount Washington that had us stuck in the lodge on top for 45 minutes, climbing a 75 foot vertical granite head wall at mile 8, trying to scramble up the unmaintained for 20+ years Adam's Slide Trail, battling 2 different storm systems that moved across the range during the race, fog, getting lost for hours, and finally finishing after 19 hours and 50 minutes! I finished dead last with one other runner and was one of only seven finishers for the day. Photos by Steve Pero
The other was my experience running in the inaugural Grand Mesa 100 in Colorado in 2010. I went up to the race without a crew or pacer and ended up running from mile 20 to 90 without seeing another race competitor. The race turned out to be extremely brutal with difficult footing, cross country sections at night, and route finding that whittled down the field to just 5 finishers out of 30+ starters. One of my favorite memories was running across the top of that mesa up at 10,000 feet at night alone under the stars, searching for course markers and just enjoying being "out there".
What is your favorite place to train?
Hands down, my favorite trails and places to train are in the San Juan Mountains of Colorado. Everything there is just so epic and surreal. The mountains, the streams, wildflowers and vastness of the landscape is awe inspiring. When I'm in Arizona, I love the Superstition Mountains, Cave Creek Trail System, and South Mountain (where I now run almost daily).
What is your favorite snack during a race?
During shorter ultras, I use my own homemade gel made of a mix of maltodextrin and fructose powder. It is cheap, simple and as effective as commercially made gels. I also really enjoy fruit, especially Medjool dates, watermelon, mangoes and oranges. For longer races, I like mashed potatoes.
If you listen to music during your run, what do you listen to?
I don't often listen to music while I run.
When you aren't running, what do you do with your spare time?
When I'm not running, I'm helping to organize over 20 ultra races per year for Aravaipa Running. In my spare time I enjoy camping, hiking, and snowboarding in the winter.
What inspires you to go the ultra distance?
I'm inspired by getting out and exploring new places. I love visiting canyons, mountains, and wilderness areas, and running allows me an opportunity to cover a lot of ground.
What is your favorite book?
I really enjoyed Running Wild by John Annerino. He is a total bad ass who was running trail ultras before the sport even existed, right here in Arizona. After smashing his foot in a climbing accident on Camelback Mountain in the seventies, he went on to do several multiday runs across the Grand Canyon.

What do former Republican politician Todd Akin and current Miami rapper Rick Ross have in common? Rape flubs, apparently.
Maybach Music mogul Ross is currently drowning in a torrent of negative press thanks to his date-rapey lyrics on the track "U.O.E.N.O.," which was released on a mixtape from rapper Rocko back in February. The ill-advised portion of the song in question go a little something like this:

Building Your Workforce Into a Strong Tribe
November 15, 2012 in Business Collaboration, Business Performance Management (BPM), Cloud Computing, Operational Performance Management (OPM), Workforce Performance Management (WPM) | Tags: Applicant Tracking, Hiring, HR, Human Capital Management, human resources, Performance Management, Recruiting, Social Collaboration, TribeHR | by Mark Smith | Leave a comment
TribeHR has brought to market an HR application suite that uses social collaboration to empower workers and managers to perform tasks that might once have been done mostly by HR professionals, or not done at all. The software-as-a-service-based TribeHR application helps businesses with fewer than 500 employees with recruiting, applicant tracking, onboarding, performance and goal setting, and time and vacation management – but with a twist. By using social collaboration as a foundation for its functionality, TribeHR takes advantage of knowledge sharing, the most valuable approach our human capital management benchmark research found for engaging the workforce.
Recently the company announced a new release of its software that provides further social media integration to more easily get candidate information from LinkedIn and Facebook, lets users post feedback and kudos on Facebook, and captures feedback from that channel. It's easy to register for a trial of the product, so I did. I found the product easy to engage with, and thanks to its collaborative approach, it's easy for employees to share information and converse with each other. The application lets you easily see staff profiles across the team, which helps drive better understanding of team members.
The latest release introduces a simple approach to performance management that is part of the new approach to engaging workers. Managers can assign individual and team goals, track progress and post recognition when goals are reached either in a peer or public manner, and even publish recognition to Facebook. I also like the ease of having actions and goals defined in the system. Companies can share their list of corporate values, and review how employees support the values through their actions. This approach helps engage teams of people as human capital.
For recruiting, TribeHR can automate job postings to external websites, job boards and Facebook, and post applications back into TribeHR. It can use a LinkedIn profile for a job application. The software makes it simple for applicants to be reviewed and prioritized for interview and potential future hiring which save valuable business time of hiring managers. This level of integration with social media addresses factors our benchmark research found improve the quality of hire (79%) and address metrics like cultural fit (64%). Other key features include:
- A corporate calendar that can be integrated with existing Outlook, Google or iCal calendars
- The ability to track time off
- Storage of corporate documents for easy access
- Simple ways to develop and maintain personnel profile and support time tracking.
Many of these capabilities can replace personal productivity tools, such as Microsoft Office, that do not foster collaboration or common goals among a workforce.
TribeHR can also integrate easily with Salesforce.com for sales force automation and FreshBooks for accounting. I hope to see it further integrate with Intuit QuickBooks, both of which are often used by small businesses. The company recently announced a reseller program to further extend access to its offering through a range of consulting firms.
TribeHR keeps it simple when it comes to pricing, with a low per-user per-month charge starting at $2 and going higher based on a company's needs to engage across groups and teams. With its foundation of customers, the company can provide aggregated information in the form of metrics to give guidance on best practices; for instance, its recently announced pay raise index provides a benchmark to compare a company's business practices to those of others of similar size. While I usually can find places for improvement in vendor offering, TribeHR provides a very robust offering for the price it charges. I expect we will see more of its offerings available on smartphones and tablets to further extend into the new reality of business computing.
Small businesses may lack an HR department, but they must have human capital management applications and processes that can operate with no or little administrative support. When it comes to helping organizations recruit, engage and retain talent, TribeHR provides a robust offering for an affordable price to help small businesses act smarter than the majority of big businesses. If your small business has not taken a look at TribeHR, don't miss it.

In HR Technology, Social and Mobile Are Hot and Becoming Business Necessity
October 10, 2012 in Business Collaboration, Business Performance Management (BPM), Cloud Computing, Customer Performance Management (CPM), Financial Performance Management (FPM), Operational Performance Management (OPM), Sales Performance Management (SPM), Social Media, Supply Chain Performance Management (SCPM), Workforce Performance Management (WPM) | Tags: HR, Human Capital Management, Mobile Technology, Social Collaboration, Talent Management | by Mark Smith | 4 comments
This week I'm at the 2012 HR Technology Conference (Twitter: #HRTechConf) where the scene is more than cool – it is hip. In the past several years technology for human resources – now more often called human capital management – has transformed from administrative software to applications anyone in the workforce can use to access information about their company, job, goals, performance, pay, benefits and even what they can do to advance in the organization. HR technology is embracing the six most important current technology trends, namely big data, business analytics, business collaboration, cloud computing, mobile technology and social media. At this year's conference, the focus on business collaboration called social collaboration and mobile was front and center.
Over the last decade, employee and manager self-service applications have become available for rent via cloud computing and software as a service, letting companies pay only for what they actually use and not what they plan to use. This week's conference saw an onslaught of new announcements about unified talent management and easier-to-use applications. New technologies for social collaboration and mobile computing provide new methods for workers, managers and the entire workforce to collaborate at any time. That follows the findings of our latest benchmark on the next generation of workforce management, where collaboration was the top technology trend in 70 percent of organizations, and practices such as broadcasting a la Twitter (30%) and wall-posting as with Facebook will be two of the top five adopted methods for collaboration in 2013.
At the HR Technology Conference I saw dozens of new HCM applications that use collaboration technology that is referred to as social collaboration. Globoforce is using social collaboration in its employee recognition software to help organization ensure the proper level of thanks to their workers. Peoplefluent was showing its latest and upcoming integration of acquired Socialtext as part of talent management processes and its social HCM suite. Saba was showing its People Cloud, which used social collaboration technology to support the range of learning and talent management processes which I have used and is more functional than any others in the industry. SuccessFactors, now part of SAP, was showing its Jam enterprise social collaboration technology. There were many other vendors that are embracing social collaborative capabilities and the largest challenge is whether it is available in software today and if it can be evaluated without sales intervention which many software vendors are beginning to provide.
Mobile technology is also becoming a big factor for HCM. Our benchmark research finds organizations will be deploying more tablets; 17 percent of organizations currently use them, and 30 percent have plans to deploy them. Smartphones are even more common; two-thirds (67%) of organizations use them today. At the conference vendors introduced a slew of new applications and capabilities to take advantage of the mobile revolution. Kronos previewed its latest tablet applications for worker management and workforce analytics. Kenexa demonstrated its latest tablet applications for hiring hourly workers its Kenexa Hot Lava Mobile makes it easy for employees to get the training they need on smartphones. Oracle showed its latest tablet application, Oracle Fusion Tap for HCM. Peoplefluent unveiled its latest in mobile talent management suite for the iPad. Saba also demonstrated its latest release that was announced that has native support for Apple and Android technologies which our research shows as the most popular devices in use for organizations. SumTotal Systems announced and showed its latest HTML5 for supporting mobile workforce management that does not require a native application environment. Workday showed how its human capital management applications operate across smartphones and tablets to ensure anytime access to employee information and what has come out in its last releases of Workday 16 and Workday 17. There were many more examples of using mobile technology and organizations should ensure they can try them directly on their own smartphone and tablets to determine if they meet the usability and manageability needs of business without significant IT intervention.
At the conference I spoke with HR professionals about the business case for investment and the difficulty in justifying new investments. Today HR budgets are very limited, and investing in technology advancements requires larger budgets that must be approved by the CFO and heads of business units. Getting such approvals requires presenting facts on the value of investments in increasing productivity and getting more value from the workforce. The value must exceed the value of software for just managing hiring, performance, learning and compensation and accessing employee information. HR must demonstrate the new applications' value for line-of-business departments to increase revenue, provide better customer service, take actions on issues and improve their ability to achieve goals and reach milestones. A smart business case shows the benefits of investments and comparisons to existing approaches, and illustrates how time saved does not just reduce costs but can be used to pursue new business and drive alignment to monthly, weekly and even daily targets.
Mobile and social technology is changing the way we engage and retain our workforce. Our research agenda in human capital management has empowering a mobile and social workforce as one of the three key technology trends that organizations must assess and act upon to maintain a work environment that keeps talent in the organization. This technology is not just about HR anymore; it is about people and the workforce. A future of social collaboration and mobility is where the industry is going, and vendors are moving quickly to support this new demand in their products.
All HR organizations should plan to use social and mobile technology to improve employee satisfaction and engagement. It is becoming a business necessity to recruit, engage and retain talent in a workforce. They should provide tools that workers and managers can use to interact and gain satisfaction from getting their jobs done efficiently. Don't be left behind; start by exploring the free trials and demonstrations that available from vendor websites or in mobile technology application stores such as Apple's App Store.

Mayor Palmieri 'sweeps' Cornhill
By ALLISON NORLIAN
UTICA, N.Y. (WKTV) - The Cornhill section of Utica received a makeover on Wednesday, as Mayor Palmieri completed his 18th "Quality of Life Sweep," for the 2013 year.
The crew involved Mayor Palmieri along with Codes Enforcement Officers, The Department of Public Works, Utica Police Officers, command staff from Utica Fire Department and residents. They walked around the neighborhood cleaning, sweeping and talking to locals. The sweep focused on Dudley and Seymour Avenue, Howard Avenue and Miller, West, Neilson and Steuben Street.
Mayor Palmieri said he hopes this will encourage residents to keep Cornhill clean and safe, " I expect the same we expected last year its not a one and done, its something consistently we're doing ..as i said before we have to be persistent, consistent and have continuity and i think were bringing hope back to the resident's who in turn will bring pride back to our city frankly if we move forward we need the residents to help us."
The cleanup lasted until 3 p.m.

WASHINGTON, August 7, 2013 – Plagued by scandals and global crisis, President Obama's appearance on the Tonight Show was a new charm offensive to mitigate growing public anger at the White House. Obama's pattern of running to talk shows and celebrity cover whenever in public disfavor dates back to his primaries against Hillary Clinton, when Oprah Winfrey's endorsement swung more than two million votes for his-then stagnating campaign.
In 2008, Obama told Judy Woodruff at a Columbia University forum that "we've got to transform Washington … so part of my job, I think, as president, is to make government cool again."
SEE RELATED: DE GRACIA: The next U.S. war will be over blue water, not desert sand
Obama's courtship of pop culture gravity centers and memetic masters has worked effectively in pacifying the electorate time and again, but not everyone is so easily wooed.
In an exclusive interview, former Law & Order actor Michael Moriarty characterized Obama's appearance on the Tonight Show as "a perfect example of how slick a liar he's become" and shared his assessment of the true direction America is headed.
Danny de Gracia: Michael, you were born in Detroit, what do you think about the direction the city's been going over the last few years? What happened?
Michael Moriarty: [Local] versions of Barack Obama have been taking control of Detroit for decades. What that city became was inevitable. The same fate will be inevitable for Chicago and then New York. The whole state of California has already gone that way. Welfare debt. Why? The increasingly Marxist control of everything, worldwide.
SEE RELATED: From Russia to America: No place else to run
DDG: President Obama a few days ago unveiled a new economic strategy for America. Do you think the President is finally getting the message that more needs to be done, or is this just more talk in your opinion?
Moriarty: Nope. He has no sincere intention of improving America's economy. His recent appearance on Jay Leno was a perfect example of how slick a liar he's become. Makes Bill Clinton look like Tom Sawyer. He has only one, very, worldwide, Communist Politburo agreement to fulfill: get America into another Vietnam in Syria.
He's already brought America to her knees economically. All that's required now is to shame her militarily. The blatant cowardice of pulling out American embassies all over the Middle East is just the beginning of the military debacle which Obama and Putin and Beijing have planned for America.
The President calls America the world's leading economy and [yet] Red China holds America by its shrinking-dollar cojones? Obama's pulling his embassies out with a clear white flag of worldwide defeat on every issue. There is no reason for optimism, things will get far worse before America comes even close to realizing the leadership she needs – men like Allen West and Ben Carson.
SEE RELATED: DE GRACIA: Chris Christie and the truth about "libertarians"
DDG: What do you think about the direction President Obama's second term has been going so far? Is America getting better or worse?
Moriarty: Obama's main objective – and he can wait to the last minute to do it – is to get America into a no-win war with the Syrian government and its allies: neo-Soviet Russia, Red China and Iran. Then he holds all the ultimate power-cards, including a right to suspend elections because of a war and institute a myriad of different forms of martial law. The Soviets, neo and otherwise, call all Americans – indeed, all of them, including Obama – "useful idiots."
No one has become a stupider or more eagerly obedient "idiot" for Communist ends than Obama. His divided loyalties between Islam and Communism make him the perfect tool for Communist hegemony.
Half the Islamic terrorism has been inspired and partly funded by Communists anyway. With Obama's divided loyalties between two halves of the devil: Communism and Radical Islam, he's become Communism's favorite tool and Vladimir Putin's most "useful idiot."
DDG: It was announced this week that the United States is charging a Libyan militia leader, Ahmed Abu Khattala with murder charges in connection to the Benghazi consulate attack. This seems strange since until recently the policy seemed to be to "take out" terrorists with drones, now the policy is charge terrorists with murder. As someone who played a very prominent district attorney on television, how does this policy of trying terrorists in a court of law come across to you?
Moriarty: Communist games. The games are played, changed, switched, turned upside down until the RINOs behave more obediently, and more moderate conservatives are persuaded to be left-leaning Republicans.
The economic nightmare these RINOs – led by the Bush Family – laid the foundations for with both debt and turning the American military into a police force for oil-rich, Saudi Nations? The Republican quicksand did half the work for both the Clintons and the Obamas. Suicide is the only word to describe what is happening to America. Lincoln predicted that suicide would be the only way to defeat America and indeed, he was right.

Logline Critique, Round 3 #40
GENRE: Literary Fiction / Banker bashing
Bankers behave badly. It's in their greedy genes. The Umbrella Men is a story about them, their crisis and their victims.
That means you.
18 comments:
- Janice Sperry said...
Bankers behave badly. Is that like girls gone wild? What do they do? This is too generic. What happens? Bankers gone wild doesn't sound very exciting. I do like the greedy genes line.
- October 12, 2011 at 12:48 PM
- Kathleen Basi said...
Wow! This breaks all the rules, but it certainly hooks me. This is a good elevator pitch, for sure, but Janice is right, it doesn't really tell us anything about the plot--only the concept (which is great, BTW).
- October 12, 2011 at 12:54 PM
- Vicki Tremper said...
I'm getting waves of anger off this. Is that intentional? I can't help wondering if this is a serious entry.
- October 12, 2011 at 1:09 PM
- samsevern said...
The idea is intriguing. I sense some huge burning passion here but I want to know the story n' the world n' the characters.
- October 12, 2011 at 1:12 PM
- Women's Fiction Writer said...
It says lit fic but the logline isn't literary. I think a logline should reflect the tone and writing of the book. Doesn't mean it wouldn't hook someone or that the book isn't lit fic, but that's my interpretation. The logline should be a teeny tiny representation of the writing within the novel.
- October 12, 2011 at 1:13 PM
- A.E. Martin said...
I don't think there is enough of a hook here to make your book stand out, it sounds sort of generic. You have only so many words for a logline, but you should use them to try to convey the uniqueness of your story's plot to make a potential agent really get intrigued. Who is the MC? What are the stakes? What drives the plot of the book? I think you should be more specific and less general and actually show us through words what the struggles/triumphs of your book are.
- October 12, 2011 at 2:05 PM
- Marie Andreas said...
I'm really at a loss for what this is supposed to be about. If it's serious, then I might sugest giving more information about the story. There really isn't much here to work with.
- October 12, 2011 at 3:14 PM
I love the title but the logline doesn't make any sense. Who is you? The bankers? The crisis? The victims? If the Umbrella Men are a shady group who exacts revenge from bankers, you might have something.
- October 12, 2011 at 4:19 PM
- Julianna Helms said...
Oh man, this is one of those loglines that some people will get, and others won't (as you can already tell). I think if you make your conflict clearer, it would help. Right now all I know is that I'm supposedly a banker, and I'm greedy, and there's a crisis going on. What is this crisis? Am I supposed to be the protagonist? This hooks me, but it's a bit vague, so adding some details (but not TOO many!) should help. Love the title, by the way! :)
- October 12, 2011 at 5:52 PM
- Stephanie Thornton said...
I don't get a sense of any characters from this. It's a relevant topic, but this logline has some opportunity to pull in the plot and characters from the story to really hook me.
Good luck!
- October 12, 2011 at 6:16 PM
- cheyennehill said...
This is definitely a different type of logline than what I've been reading, and I agree with the above that some will get it and some won't. I read the "you" as being one of the victims. But it seems slightly awkward to address the reader of the logline, but then I can picture this being on the back of the book so maybe I'm not entirely sure what loglines are supposed to be - for the agent/editor, or for the blurb on the back, or both?
Anyhow, it's interesting and eye-catching, for sure. But I think you might need to flesh this out a bit more, particularly who the "you" is (though I think it seems to be the victims), if you really need it. What is their crisis? That seems to be the big question.
Bravo for trying something that stands out.
- October 12, 2011 at 7:50 PM
- Kathryn Purdie said...
In addition to the above comments, I'd suggest you never say "this is a story about..." in a logline. This logline only gives us the antagonists (I think) of the story, with no stakes, no MC, no goal. Also, I don't think banker bashing is a genre. :-)
- October 12, 2011 at 8:22 PM
- MarcyKate said...
I'm guessing that you're trying to break some rules here, but I really don't think it's working. This is just my opinion, but this comes off to me as potentially being a thinly veiled memoir, especially with the invented genre of "banker bashing" and those rarely turn out well. There are no stakes at all, just the very generic conflict of a "crisis." Breaking the rules is all well and good, but you've got to have something to hook people with aside from your own cleverness. It's a good try, but I'd recommend starting over.
- October 12, 2011 at 8:29 PM
- Leigh Ann said...
Sounds like you have some nefarious villians on your hands! Before I'm hooked, I want to know what they do to start the story off, who the protagonist is, and what the goal and stakes are.
Good luck!
- October 13, 2011 at 8:32 AM
- Rena Rossner said...
I know this book! :)
I agree with the above comments in terms of letting your voice shine through. You have a very unique voice and you log line here shows neither your mastery of language nor the fact that the books is literary fiction. It does stand out. But (as I happen to have read parts of the book) I would also include a bit about its relationship to environmental crisis - because I think that is a topic that is relevant to our times and is prominent in the novel
But what do I know...
Hugely excited to see you on here! Yay!
- October 13, 2011 at 12:47 PM
- Holly Bodger said...
This isn't a logline.
- October 13, 2011 at 1:17 PM
- staceylee said...
This reads like a movie voice.
- October 13, 2011 at 1:58 PM
- Barbara said...
Sorry, but I just can't buy literary banker bashing. Now if you had said it was commercial . . . .

There is a rapidly escalating problem in the medical community that is affecting people in our County. Doctors of Cancer patients who cannot get the drugs they need for recommended treatment, because the pharmaceutical companies are not manufacturing them in large enough supply. Dr. Richard Evans is co Director of the Oncology Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital.
"My understanding is that the pharmaceutical companies would like to spend their production capacity making drugs where they make the most money. But what is happening is we're starting to see a number of drug shortages and anti-cancer drugs for certain, I'm not sure about other fields."
Dr. Evans says just last week a member of his staff reported his frustration in trying to get the drugs needed to treat a patient.
"I talked with Dr. David Campbell who is a medical oncologist. He just got a patient referred back up from Stanford for a recommendation to have one of two chemotherapy regimens and one of those regimens we can't do right now because he can't obtain one of the drugs as part of that regimen. So this has very real impact on our lives right now in this community and communities across the country where oncologists are having a hard time finding the drugs they need to use."
Doctors say this is a new problem that has just been developing the past few months.
