Nothing says holiday shopping like "immediate gratification." That's why Macy's is ready to roll out a proximity-marketing platform in partnership with Google that will lead shoppers to the specific item they're seeking—and also will offer suggestions about merchandise in their local Macy's that consumers may not be thinking about, Ad Age reports.
"We have seen encouraging results" from the program that Google and Macy's began testing about a year ago in San Francisco, Jennifer Kasper, group vice president of digital media and multicultural marketing at Macy's, told Ad Age. Shoppers "can go into a physical store and have immediate gratification."
Google's expanding roll-out of its proximity-marketing platform, Nearby, echoes Apple's iBeacon rollout and the Continuity platform for Android devices. The basic idea is to tap into the marketing and sales possibilities of using GPS, in-store "beacons" and other devices to give consumers promotional stimuli at times that it can be most effective: While they're in or near retail stores.Continue reading...

Macy's is making a bigger investment in omnichannel retail technology ahead of the major holiday shopping season by creating a more personalized and interactive shopping experience for consumers in-store, online and on mobile devices.
A pioneer in the implementation of RFID technology, Macy's will be rolling out shopBeacons to all of its locations across the US and will be expanding its partnership with Shopkick to drive consumer engagement in-store.
"Macy's and Bloomingdale's remain committed to operating at the forefront of innovation, as well as fostering a locally relevant shopping experience in every store," said Terry J. Lundgren, Chairman and CEO of Macy's, in a press release. "We are a multi-faceted retailer with stores, technology, Internet capability and mobile access that come together for our customers. They are at the center of all our decisions, and our ongoing research and development will continue to help us understand how to personally engage with them."Continue reading...

JCPenney, seemingly a permanent fixture in the news these days, seeks to push past the negative financial and branding headlines and tap into customer experience with their new pop-up shops, which will hopefully garner appeal from designer collaborations.
The store, which is currently embroiled in a high-stakes trial with Macy's and Martha Stewart over product licenses, has had a rough time since CEO Ron Johnson took over a year ago. The brand's "no markdown" strategy backfired, and word on the street is that employee morale has hit an all-time low at the company's Plano, Texas headquarters.
However, the company had a moment during the Oscars broadcast. The new campaign, a series of commercials introducing JCP's latest brand partnerships expanded on last year's rebranding campaign with Ellen DeGeneres. It also boosted activity on Facebook and Twitter, rewarding some followers with gift certificates.
Now, with the success of shop-in-shop brands like Sephora, MNG by Mango, Levi's Denim Bar and Liz Claiborne, the retailer is adding more designers to its in-store boutique lineup and plans to expand to home goods later this spring. Each brand will have their own design aesthetic within their individual shop.
With its in-store designer additions, J.C. Penney joins Target, Macy's (now battling JCP in court over Martha Stewart) and Bloomingdale's as the latest department store to experiment with boutique-style shops. In fact, JCP is stealing from Target's playbook with a new exclusive home goods collection by American architect Michael Graves—Target's first designer partnership, which launched in 1999 and produced a whopping 2,000 items—and Justin Timberlake's William Rast collection, which launched as a Target exclusive in 2010.
Other upcoming JCPenney designer collaborations include in-store boutiques for Happy Chic by Jonathan Adler, Designs by Conran, Watchgear by Tourneau, Carters and Giggles. Here's a look at the in-store boutiques now hitting its stores:Continue reading...

fashion week

Why is Microsoft at New York Fashion Week? It's on a digital date with Bloomingdale's, which has been getting increasingly interactive with its window displays to not only promote brands such as BMW, but even allowing passersby to stop and "try on" sunglasses or customize Havaianas flip-flops.
The intersection of fashion, retail and digital technology was highlighted in a co-branded Fashion's Night Out event Thursday night, where Microsoft and Bloomies invited #FNO-savvy fashionistas on Twitter to tag #MSBloomingdales to see their tags show up on the "Printing Dress" — a wearable computing concept (at left) that replaces pleats with tweets.
It's described as:
"a Microsoft Research project that explores the intersection of fashion and technology. This early prototype is an artistic installation that integrates computer components into a dress made almost entirely of paper. With an integrated projector, the dress showcases tweets in real time transforming the skirt into a real-time twitter display. The dress was presented and honored as "Best in Show" and "Best Concept" at the Design Exhibition at ISWC (International Symposium of Wearable Computers) in San Francisco 2011."

QR codes and augmented reality are hot commodities for mobile marketing, bridging the digital and analog worlds, pushing the edges, out-of-the-box, smart, crazy and fun. A few new mobile promotions that caught our attention:
Austrian crystal purveyor Swarovski is bringing the bling to Facebook with an app that delivers the digital Warholian promise of "15 amazing seconds of fame" by inviting users to submit personal dance videos modeling sunglasses for a chance to win one of 15 pairs of Swarovski Amazing sunglasses.
Bloomingdale's new Big Brown Bag app (click here for Android) is a play on the store's "Big Brown Bag" bags, letting users create and manage wedding registries and Loyallist rewards points and pay their bill, find discounts and promotions and scan products in-store to view promotions and find other locations. "The launch of our mobile application for iPhone and Android is part of our commitment to enhancing our customer's omnichannel shopping experience," said Anne Bridges, SVP site merchandising, Internet productions and planning, to Mobile Commerce Daily. "We're now inviting couples to use their phones – instead of a gun – to scan items to add to their registry."Continue reading...

Detroit Pistons vs LA Lakers Sunday December 20 6:00 pm Local TV: FS Detroit Nat'l TV: Radio: 950 WWJ
Ben Gordon and Richard Hamilton update for Lakers game The Oakland Press Blogs: Pistons' Point: Gordon questionable, Hamilton out for Lakers
Much appreciated Dave... kinda like our own insider. Always thought it was a good thing for beat writers to follow the forums to acquire the pulse of Piston nation... you're doing a gr8 job! Btw, CV has plant foot... " Pistons forward Charlie Villanueva (16 points) seemed to injure his right foot in the second quarter after getting tangled up under the basket. He exited the contest but returned in the third quarter. After the game, Villanueva said he has had plantar fasciitis on his foot the last couple of days but he doesn't plan on missing any time." Hope this doesn't become Sheed like.
Someone has got to score besides Stuck and Chuckie V. Will it be Wallace, Kwame, Chucky, Max, Jerebko, Daye, or maybe even Summers. See our dilemna ladies and gentlemen.
The game started off with both teams struggling and then the Lakers going on 27-10 run to close the qtr. The Lakers outscored the Pistons 13-0 from the FT line in the first qtr. This is a game that the Pistons could have won as not only did the Lakers play last night, but because of the snow in the NY-NJ area they didn't get into their hotels until 5 AM this morning. If we had been aggressive in the first qtr like they were, we could have picked some pts at the line early and stayed close instead on letting them stretch that 12 pts lead to 18 at the half. To bad we could not take care of their scrubs in the 4th qtr when they missed about 9 straight shots and were 1/13 before Phil had to bring Kobe, Artest and Gasol back in to secure the win. Unfortunately even though the Pistons won the 4th qtr 19-10, our starters played almost as bad as the Lakers scrubs and missed out on an opportunity to make it real inter sting.
The defensive effectiveness is clearly masked by the slow pace… slow rotations and undisciplined positioning has been a consistent pattern. The team plays better when Stuckey takes on the scoring lead…. Not that this is the direction the team wants to head… but it's today's reality.... He played an unselfish game (somebody got to him at team meeting)… unfortunately more than not they didn't convert. When Bynum doesn't have his explosive legs he's just a liability. Summers has the unique ability to be effective with short minutes for a young player... I like this kid a lot. Daye tends to disappear more with extended PT… could relate to his frail physic. The turnovers were more about lack of player movement than bad passes. CV hides when matched up against physical players. We should have recognized all the fronting the Lakers were doing and gone backdoor… but this is directly related to a team that hasn't been together long enough… they seriously need to focus on situation recognition…. There's a long way to go on offensive options. There's much to be said about keeping a team together (once you find players willing to work cohesively)… having the comfort level of knowing where to pass on a double team… pump fakes to get the opponent of balance… multiple options from the same set etc. I'm convinced that all three rooks are going to be long term assets in the association. Even though I've been preaching mediocrity being a long time killer at least we know we have young talent to build with (vs a complete reload) while still getting a decent pick. Maybe dealing the pick is the way to go… I have a new philosophy of trading picks for a player in his 2nd or 3rd year… first two years in the backseat can be hell on the confidence… but the third year can often be the breakout year… go ahead and grab lotto talent without dealing with all of the growing pains… being comfortable in your shoes is just as important as physical talent. Would like to follow this up with a thread on tradable young talent available.
Nothing could be done. Different class of basketball organization. In the complexity of things, certain organizations have an advantage since they have the opportunity and time frame to evolve. It does take talent and the ability to understand diversification. It also helps to have a culture that projects newness, an opportunity of innovation combined with Pal Joey closeness/usefulness. Then you have that Market...it is everyone's mouse with the built on every street corner.
Pistons notes following loss to the Lakers, features some interesting comments from Rodney Stuckey The Oakland Press Blogs: Pistons' Point: Pistons notes - Dec. 21
This was the first game this year that the Pistons look completely HELPless. No power in their offense at all. Just a bunch of people playing one on 5. But this is a season of learning and finding playing time for the youngens. Until we get a big..(I luv u Ben,but) that can shoot from 15 feet out and create in the paint(need I say-Bosh...who BTW, will sign with dallas or San ANtonio) this team is destined for 40 wins a year at least for the next 3. Daye, Summers and Jerebko will be fine NBA players. Stuckey CAN be an effective 2 guard if he ever learns to play off pics like Rip and DWade. We have instant O in CV and Gorden. Thats 6 quality bodies. The Lakers only have 7!! (Bryant,Pao,Bynum,Artest,Farmar,Oden,Brown) Too bad 3 of the 7 are in the top 15 in the world at what they do. LOL We need a 100% point guard ( i bet we can steal Chris Paul in a couple of years ,if he doesnt go to New York after LeBron) and there is a resurgence of good points in college. but tonight...we were slapped like a british uknowwhat.
Team turmoil. We start Atkins? Stuckey is guarding Kobe? Stuckey gets into foul trouble, of course - and we put Summers in as a shooting guard? Then Wilcox gets a DNP in favor or playing Kwame. I know they had Bynum and Gasol, and maybe Kwame fit this game a little better than most - but did we really need what happened the first couple of times the ball got thrown in toward Kwame - the ball bouncing off his hands of stone. (Or how about 1 for 3 on his first 3 free throws.) LA had a 21 point lead to start the 4th, and put in some scrubs, which let us back into the game a bit. Don't think they ever really got too worried though even when the lead shrunk to 8 late. JJ missed badly on a pair of 3's, then was seen scoring in closer, a whole lot. (What, 13 points in the 3rd quarter, or was it just 11.) Daye was also missing on his 3's, moved in closer and hit some shots. Summers is the only rook who hit a three for us this game. All three rooks played a lot, and that never hurts. Obviously, as has been pointed out by another poster, we could have done better on who started. How about Stuckey playing the point and scoring on Fisher. How about Daye starting to bother Kobe's shot a bit. Then you have Summers spelling JJ at small forward. (or starting in his place.) CV? He took that mask off. Played poorly, provided no D. Ben and JMAX played D, and just a bit of scoring from JMAX. Ben, if they have a decent sized guy guarding you, that is good enough. You don't have to try to score in the post at that point. Sure, if they put a small guy on you, burn them if you can - but its pretty much a turnover if you try too much. Since we were passing the ball around alot to no point, LA took the liberty of playing the passing lanes a lot to our detriment. Well, thats about it for now. I got two finals to take today. Back to studying.
It's taken a week or two, but the rest of the league now has some film on the makeshift Pistons lineup and are preparing their team to play them. I don't know if Q has any other tricks up his sleeve, but this isn't going to get any better until the other kids get back. Which reminds me, was there no one who thought it was a bad idea for Rip to decide, during his nap, that he would play a full game without any practice, any conditioning, etc.? Somebody was asleep at the switch.

For the non-bilingual traveller, they would be recommended for their excellent english. Also, the view from our room of the Eiffel Tower was a bonus - even though it wasnt considered a 'view' because it wasnt front on. - Michael

Each room was uniquely decorated and it was like staying at a bed and breakfast more than a hotel, especially with the wonderful service of the front desk. I have been to Paris twice prior, and many other cities in Europe and have never stayed at a hotel with a nicer staff. It will definitely be where I stay next time!!! - Janine

We chose this hotel because of recommendations submitted by others to the letsbookhotel.com website. We were absolutely delighted with our stay of six nights. The people at the front desk were very friendly and made us feel very welcome. We were on the fifth floor with view of the top 1/3 of the Eiffel Tower and thought that was delightful. We had a twin room which was "large" by Paris standards; the bathroom was large as well with double sinks, nice shower and tub and a view of the Tower as - Anonymous

Excellent position, quiet street, 15 mins to Eiffel tower, good interaction with staff, fully equipped, good value for money if you are 5 or 6 people. - Anonymous
Steven was very helpful and friendly. The location was good with the metro very close. There are lots of restraunts within walking distance in the region f montparnase. Not all are open at weekends, but we don't have a problem finding places to eat or buy food. The apartment itself was a good size. There were towels and a hair dryer. The kitchen had enough to let memo cook a basic meal. I'd happily stay there again. - Anonymous
The front desk staff are wonderful. The location of the hotel is great for walking in all directions of Paris. The rooms are not large but are functionable and very pretty. Not a typical Best Western hotel, thats why I chose it. The location to Rue Cler and lots of restaurants was great. - Laura

I bought this machine for a friend who will use it in her business, and so far it is absolutely everything she needed. We were both impressed with the number of feet and other accessories included for the price. As we were test-driving it, she announced that the machine itself was absolutely 'idiot proof' and I agree [she wouldn't consider herself a seasoned veteran of seamstressing at this point, and I'm not either].It works like a charm right out of the box. The feet are very easy to change, which is one of many built in time savers on the machine. We specifically liked the automatic threader, the drop-in bobbin, the thread-cutter, the smooth operation and the easy to control speed... my friend estimated that her productivity would increase by at least a third because of these features. She was especially happy about the inclusion of a blind-stitch foot, because of her needs for her product.We loved the array of stitches offered. It isn't too many for what we need. We also enjoyed the quilting accessories, and the buttonholing capability.This baby is a no-fuss workhorse. It is versatile without being impractical, which is what we needed to make what has been a chore into a real joy.When I get mine, it will be put to use in home projects as well as at work... And I hope to get mine soon!
I absolutely love this machine. I purchased it last month. I have limited sewing experience, but it is so easy to use. I am now making martingale collars for my greyhounds and I am having a blast.Threading it is a breeze although I haven't figured out how to use the self threader. That's not a big deal to me.This the first new machine that I have owned and well, I just can't say how happy I am with it. If I can use it, then anyone can because I am very inexperienced with sewing. I sewed in home economics class and that was a disaster. It is really easy to use.
I purchase this machine knowing it would not have a lot of bells & whistles, and it doesn't, but it is a sturdy machine. I like that the machine sets the average stitch length & width for each stitch automatically, but I still regularly change them to suit my needs. It seems to handle medium-heavy weight material very well. I haven't not tried to sew through any heavy materials (like leather or jeans), however, with the right needle, I think it would do that just fine as well. I would recommend this to someone else, as long as they were looking for a "bare bones" machine. It's nothing too fancy, but it works very well!
I am happy with my machine, it is easy to set up, and easy to use. I think it is good for a beginner and intermediate sewer. On the screen it will tell you which presser foot to use with the various stitches.
This machine is so simple and absolutely amazing. I just received it today and it works so well. You will easily get the hang of things. I would recommend this to anyone. :]
good quality and durability
I bought this for my wife several years ago to replace her old machine. She says it has too many options and at her age she just doesn't want to take the time to figure them all out. She has no problem sewing everything we need done but still hasn't taken the time to figure out all the neat new bells and whistles this machine can do for her. I love that it is light weight and has so many capabilities for her to use once she does. Great product without any problems so far.
Best machine ever! I have had it for a year now and have had no issues with it. It is a beast and it can handle some serious abuse. I've sewn everything from Jacquard to Heavy Denim on it and does a great job!
Great little machine - great price - I used free shipping - 10% off - gift card and O-Rewards... Perfect to leave at my quilt guild.
This sewing machine is a great value - just what I needed. So far it's working wonderfully. My favorite feature is the self threading.

In energy speech, Obama exchanges the ambitious for the politically possible
President Obama called Wednesday for a one-third cut in oil imports, to be achieved by increased domestic production, alternative energies, and higher fuel efficiency.
Carolyn Kaster / AP
Amid multiple pressures on US energy security, President Obama set a goal Wednesday of reducing oil imports by one-third in the next decade.
Mr. Obama, speaking at Georgetown University, set out a multi-pronged approach to reaching that goal: finding and producing more oil in the United States, boosting fuel efficiency, and turning to cleaner alternative fuels. And while he is not as open to domestic oil drilling as some Republicans would like, he did try to reposition himself as a drilling-friendly president, even as he pushed for more electric cars, more use of natural gas and biofuels, and higher fuel efficiency standards.
The president stressed that nuclear energy will remain an important source of electricity in the US, even as Japan grapples with a crisis at a nuclear reactor complex.
He also called for an end to the nation's decades-long pattern of "shock and trance" over energy – shock when oil prices spike, followed by trance when prices go down.
"We can't rush to propose action when gas prices are high and then hit the snooze button when they fall again," Obama said. "The United States of America cannot afford to bet our long-term prosperity – our long-term security – on a resource that will eventually run out, and even before it runs out will get more and more expensive to extract from the ground."
As gas prices rise above $4 a gallon in more states and Mideast turmoil sows uncertainty in oil markets, Obama sought to get ahead of the growing political and economic pressures over energy. Gone is the "cap and trade" policy of his first two years in office, which would have put a price on carbon dioxide emissions had the proposal become law. Now, with Republicans in control of the House, Obama is highlighting measures that are already in the works, or, if action is needed for implementation, either the executive branch can do itself or already has bipartisan support in Congress. He called it a "Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future."

University of Southampton Students' Union

The University of Southampton Students' Union, abbreviated to SUSU, is the students' union at the University of Southampton in southern England, United Kingdom. SUSU represents the students at the University council as well as providing support and social activities. The union is financed through its operations, a grant from the University and additional benefits brought by its charitable status. Its main facilities are based on the main Highfield Campus, but SUSU also operates a base at the Winchester School of Art and helps student societies and groups at the other campuses of the University. All students at the University become members of the union automatically unless they specifically request to opt out. Its operation is enshrined in law through the Education Act 1994, the University Charter granted in 1952 and the Union's constitution.
The origins of SUSU lie in the original union that represented the students of the Hartley University College, the precursor to the current University, when it became affiliated to the University of London in 1903.[3] It became self-governed by students in 1921 with the introduction of the basic structure of one male and female member from each faculty.[3] The Union expanded greatly following the granting of the Universities Charter in 1952 and the subsequent expansion of the university in both student numbers and outlook, leading to the creation of several union facilities and services.
For a sizable length of its existence, the union was associated with the National Union of Students (NUS), however in May 2002 SUSU chose to disaffiliate itself from the NUS on the grounds that the organisation was becoming too bureaucratic.[4] This decision was put to a referendum in December 2010 and again in December 2012 to whether SUSU should re-affiliate with the NUS, following a perceived change in the organisation and in circumstances, and on both occasions the result was that SUSU would remain independent[5] with the 2012 result totalling 73% against the affiliation.[6]
Governance and zones[edit]
1.There shall be a Union of Students of the University.
2.Ordinances shall prescribe the constitution functions privileges and other matters relating to the Union of Students.
SUSU's highest decision making body is the Union Council.[8] Meeting six times a year, it is made up of 80 voting members, including the sabbatical officers, student leaders and councilors that represent the diversity of the university.[8] They decide of the union's main policies that affect the entire union and those that are not specific to one zone. For a policy to pass, the meeting must be quorate, or at least half of the eligible members present to vote. Any student is able to attend and speak at a union council, although not to vote,[8] and any student is able to vote in the AGM, held each year in the summer[9] and in 2013 broadcast online by SUSUtv therefore allowing students to vote online.
In addition to council, the union also has several other committees each part of one or more of the zones, introduced in 2013. There are eight zones in total: three policy zones and five activity zones. The Policy zones focus around the entire union activities and are Democracy, Sustainability and Student Communities, whereas the Activity zones focus on the individual activities that make up life at the university and within the union. These are Creative Industries, Education, External Engagement, Sport and Student Life.[10]
To ensure SUSU achieves its charitable aims, it has a number of trustees who ensure that this occurs. SUSU also has to adhere to a strict set of Memorandum and Articles of Association, which focus around twelve rules, and the Union's Constitution.[9][11] Its main aims are outlined it their Union plan to 2015 and the SUSU – University Relationship agreement signed in 2013.[12][13]
Sabbatical officers[edit]
SUSU is currently led by seven sabbatical officers: one president and six vice-presidents each covering a particular area of the union's activity. They are elected in February or March each year by any full member of the union (all students automatically unless they specifically opt out). The current team is:
- David Mendoza-Wolfson – Union President
- Megan Downing – Vice President, Democracy & Creative Industries
- Sophia D'angelico – Vice President, Education
- Ellie Cawthera – Vice President, Engagement
- Katie Lightowler – Vice President, Sports Development
- Anjit Aulukh – Vice President, Student Communities
- Beckie Thomas – Vice President, Welfare
The Union President represents the students on general issues and is the figurehead of the union while the Vice Presidents are all allocated a separate area to concentrate their efforts. The VP Democracy and Creative Industries overlooks the elections and accountability aspects of the union as well as running the SUSU Media departments, Union Films and the Performing Arts societies. The VP Education concentrates on the quality of the University's teaching and learning facilities. The VP Engagement is tasked with the societies, RAG, community involvement, student enterprise and communication between the Union and the students. The VP Sports Development is in charge of the Athletic Union and encouraging student involvement in sport. The VP Student Communities is tasked with ensuring the wellbeing of students studying at the satellite campuses, notably those for the Winchester School of Art, Southampton General Hospital and the National Oceanography Centre, for the running of the JCR committees and for representing International and Postgraduate students. The VP Welfare is in charge of ensuring equality and diversity is championed, the Union is ethical and environmentally friendly as well as in charge of general student Welfare and access to advice.
The previous sabbatical team was:
- David Gilani – Union President
- David Martin – Vice President, Democracy & Creative Industries
- David Mendoza-Wolfson – Vice President, Education
- Claire Gilbert – Vice President, Engagement
- Evan Whyte – Vice President, Sports Development
- Oli Coles – Vice President, Student Communities
- Beckie Thomas – Vice President, Welfare
Student Leaders[edit]
In addition to the sabbatical officers, there are also student leaders who represent the creative outlets, particular student activities or a particular group of students.[14] As of September 2013 these are:
SUSU has a range of facilities located on the Highfield campus and on the Winchester School of Art campus. The Union's Highfield buildings are arranged around a central plaza, named after the red brick paving of the area. It is frequently used by the Union to host events, for fundraising events and to hold the weekly market.
The main Union building, Building 42, was constructed in 1966 and was designed by Sir Basil Spence as part of his campus masterplan. Spread over four levels, it contains 'The Café' and 'The Bridge' restaurants, the latter also a cocktail bar, as well as the offices of the Sabbaticals and sports facilities. The building was also extensively renovated in 2002 leading to the creation of two new Bars and 'The Cube' multi-functional space that can either be used as a nightclub or as a cinema through retractable seating. The Union building has undergone progressive renovation in recent years: the concourse entrance was completely renovated during Summer 2011,[15] the Cafe at approximately the same time, the Bridge bar in Summer 2012[16] and a new hub created in Building 40 home to the Advice Centre and facilities for the student societies.[17]
In addition to the main building, the Union also has use of the 1940 constructed West Building. Also known as Building 40, this originally held all of SUSU's activities until the construction of the current Union. At present the building hosts the pub 'The Stags Head', often shortened to the Stags, as well as the Union's Advice Centre. The final building at Highfield is the 1996 built Union retail centre, containing the Union shop on the ground floor as well as three retail units above, occupied by the Uni-link travel centre, a hairdressers and a custom clothing company.
The Union also operates a small Union building at the Winchester School of Art with meeting rooms for societies and a general purpose area and bar. Expansion in Winchester and greater inclusion of the students with the rest of SUSU is a key target for current sabbatical teams.[18]
Student societies[edit]
SUSU plays a major role in the social activity of the students from the University. The organisations and societies it supports are a key part of this. The union supports over 200 societies at the university and allows anyone to create a new society if there is not provision for that group. It also supports 78 sports teams through its Athletic Union branch and 31 Performing Arts societies grouped under this umbrella brand. The Union also supports a RAG (Raise and Give) society to raise money for local and national charities, operates Community Volunteering and Action programmes and has a Nightline service for distressed or worried students.
Creative Industries[edit]
SUSU's four main creative industries are grouped together under the SUSU Media division. All are entirely student led and operated.
- Surge Radio broadcasts from studios inside the main Union building over the internet and on FM during the first fortnight of the academic year. Created in 1976, it has won multiple awards including 11 Gong awards.[19]
- Internet television station SUSUtv broadcasts live programmes every week on a Friday as well as producing other programmes including dramas and other news bulletins where permitting. Started in 2007 and broadcasting in HD three years later, this is another well awarded service.
- The Wessex Scene is a student newspaper published seven times a year and kept updated through their online website. Starting out in 1936 as the Wessex News and renamed in 1996, the newspaper continues to gain writers and has had numerous articles showcased in the national press.
- The Edge entertainment magazine began life as an insert of the Wessex Scene in 1995 before growing to become a full publication and online presence in 2011. The magazine contains reviews of films, music and theatre as well as interviews with big names in music.
In addition to these, SUSU also operates two other creative industries: Union Films and Performing Arts. Union Films operates the Cinema located in the union building. Staffed completely by student volunteers, Union Films is involved in all stages of the film including setting up the cinema, selling refreshments, publicizing the event and projecting the film itself.[20]
The Performing Arts brand is used to represent the 31 societies that include music, dance and drama in their remit. They share a common officer and committee and often share their own individual society branding with that of the Performing Arts umbrella brand. This allows a performing art event to be constantly promoted within the union, while each society takes its time in rehearsing a new routine, play or music. The brand is also used for ticketing with a Performing Arts pass available to get students into performances by any of the societies. In addition to the performance aspect, the brand also includes StageSoc, who operate back-stage and with the technical services department.[21]
Junior Common Rooms[edit]
In addition to these societies, SUSU also operates JCR (Junior Common Room)[22] committees for their halls. They are there to help new students settle into the university experience, run events throughout the year and also to represent a particular halls within SUSU. Due to the size of some halls, Halls of residence are often grouped together into the following JCRs:
- Monte JCR – Montefiore Halls, Wessex Lane Complex
- Connaught JCR – Connaught Halls, Wessex Lane Complex
- Glen Eyre JCR – All halls on the main Glen Eyre Halls complex
- Chamberlain JCR – The Halls opposite the Glen Eyre complex. Despite the name, the Chamberlain hall is currently demolished for rebuilding.
- Archers Road JCR – For Romero, Gateley and St. Margarets Halls.
- Bencraft JCR – The smallest halls for Bencraft, near Glen Eyre.
- Highfield JCR – Near to Avenue Campus.
- Erasmus Park JCR – For Winchester School of Art students
- Liberty Point JCR – Not owned by the University, but is established due to the agreement between the University and the Halls' owners and the number of students living there.
- Private Rented JCR – Representation and socials for those not in Halls.
The Athletic Union supports over 80 sports teams at the university[23] as well as providing them with access to union minibuses and subsidised sports wear. The teams use both University facilities at Wide Lane, the Jubilee Sports Hall and the boating hard, but also the Union's own sports hall, squash courts, martial arts room and rock climbing wall. Societies compete in national British Universities and Colleges Sport tournaments, in Intramural sports matches and in the annual Varsity cup match between the University of Southampton and the University of Portsmouth.[24]

I think you should go with solid wood as the tail feathers on a self launching glider encounter a lot more turbulence under power. Learn to enjoy the extra weight of the e powered models because you'll get to fly in a lot more conditions with the extra ballast.

Glad you and Bill had a great time at the MAX. The day I had available to fly, the weather turned. Drizzle and low clouds covered most of the peaks, so I was grounded. I will definitely be back, so hopefully next time! Other than that, it was a great trip. Allan |

You may wonder how I got a 120" Big Bird. Back in about 2004, I got the idea for a wing. I had a pair of tips from a BOT ARF, so I built a pair of inboard sections to Ray's specs. I used a 10" chord 3014, , carbon on the spars, built the wingrod & incidence pin to fit the Big Bird fuse, put in very large spoilers, and mated the BOT ARF tips to the inboard sections. The BOT foil is pretty much flat bottomed, but it flew great. I built three of them and don't know who has the other two. Turning the wing/plane with the stock tail is a tad bit slow, but once you get the hang of flying it, is turns just fine. It will stand on a wingtip and thermal with the rest of the "birds". Bill G.

They look like an AC unit
Every so often people in the Columbia area are faced with a long term power outage.
SCE&G does a great job, but there is only so much that can be done during a major outage. Ice storms and the edge of hurricanes that sweep the coast have wreaked havoc in the past.
Todays generators are much more sophisticated than the old rope start ones people associate with generators.
They look a lot like a central air conditioning unit and work fully automatically. There is just a short delay before the unit starts up and you have generated power.
When the power is restored the unit senses it, and turns itself off and switches your home back to the power company lines.
They run on natural gas, so in most emergency situations you would still have a fuel supply. They also can run on propane but this requires a separate tank and the propane being delivered to your home.
Even with short power outages it is nice to know your power could be on and your home well lighted and secure.
Quite often large amounts of food are lost during power outages. A home generator can keep your freezer and refrigerator going until the outage is over.
There are a lot of good reasons for having a home generator. They will improve the quality of living in your home and also increase its resale value.

CONSOL Energy Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
PITTSBURGH -- Hockey's hottest team keeps finding ways to win.
And even more help is on the way.
Tyler Kennedy scored 2:33 into overtime and the Pittsburgh Penguins ran their winning streak to 12 games with a 2-1 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers on Sunday night.
Sidney Crosby tied things late in regulation with a 5-on-3 power-play goal and Kennedy won it with his fifth goal of the season, a wrist shot from the left circle.
"I think we're a pretty confident team right now," Kennedy said. "I think we know if we stay on the plan and do all the little things we can be successful."
Marc-Andre Fleury stopped 27 shots for Pittsburgh, which remained unbeaten in March. The Penguins played without injured defenseman Kris Letang and reigning league MVP Evgeni Malkin, who remains sidelined with an upper body injury.
Malkin could be back by the end of the week and he'll find a new face on the second line he shares with James Neal. Pittsburgh traded away promising defenseman prospect Joe Morrow early Sunday evening for Dallas Stars captain Brenden Morrow, hoping the veteran forward will give the Penguins some added punch in the playoffs.
SportsNation: NHL Power Rankings
Where do the Penguins, winners of 12 straight, rank among the NHL's best teams?
Submit your rankings!
"I think we all pride ourselves in playing a certain way and I think he fits right into that mold," said Crosby, who played with Morrow for Team Canada in the 2010 Winter Olympics. "I think he's going to add to those things and add to what we have here. It's a great acquisition and we're pretty excited."
The late flurry ruined a brilliant night by Philadelphia's Ilya Bryzgalov, who stopped 33 shots but had no answer when Kennedy's sizzling wrister sailed under the crossbar and sent his teammates spilling onto the ice.
"I thought we came in here and played a good road game," Philadelphia coach Peter Laviolette said. "It's unfortunate."
Claude Giroux scored his 10th goal of the season late in the second period for Philadelphia, but the Flyers couldn't make it hold up on a night they played without forward Danny Briere and defenseman Nicklas Grossman. Briere sustained an upper body injury in practice on Saturday and is day to day.
At the moment, so are Philadelphia's postseason chances. The Flyers are 13th in the crowded Eastern Conference, though they hope to build on the nearly flawless hockey they played for the game's first 50 minutes.
"We've got to take positives from this," Giroux said. "We got a point, but we need another point."
Philadelphia was in control until Wayne Simmonds and Kimmo Timonen went off with penalties 23 seconds apart with less than 8 minutes remaining. Crosby, the NHL's leading scorer, took advantage of the ensuing 5-on-3 by wristing a shot by Bryzgalov with 6:14 remaining in regulation.
Both teams exchanged opportunities in the final minutes before heading to the extra period when Kennedy found a way to keep Pittsburgh perfect in overtime. The Penguins are now 4-0 when the game is tied at the end of regulation.
The two rivals have played some of hockey's most entertaining games over the last few years, including a remarkable playoff series last year in which they combined for 56 goals in six entertaining games.
Their first three matchups this season were more of the same. The last meeting earlier this month featured the Penguins rallying from three goals down to win 5-4 and push the winning streak to a modest three games.
This time things were a bit more understated.
Giroux finally broke through on the power play late in the second period thanks to a fortunate bounce. He skated into Pittsburgh's zone and attempted to slip a cross-ice pass to a teammate. The puck bounced off the stick of Pittsburgh's Pascal Dupuis and right back to Giroux, who fired it by Fleury to put the Flyers in front.
It didn't last, as the Penguins picked up their eighth one-goal victory during the streak, which is now the 11th streak of at least 12 games in NHL history.
It also served as a bounce-back game of sorts for the Penguins, who were outplayed for long stretches of a 4-2 win over the New York Islanders on Friday. They were more disciplined on Sunday, taking just one penalty, and continued to play responsible defensively. Pittsburgh has allowed just nine goals over its last eight games.
"We had played a couple games that weren't our best hockey and had periods where it wasn't even close to the way we needed to play," Crosby said. "Tonight we were much better and I think we got rewarded at the end for it."
Game notes
The Penguins are 4-6 this season when trailing after two periods. ... The crowd of 18,662 set a record at Consol Energy Center. ... Pittsburgh hosts Montreal on Tuesday night. ... The Flyers begin a five-game homestand on Tuesday against the New York Rangers.

Remember Me
As for their tunes, those who love the perfectly executed mix of lyrical melodies with a dash of guttural screams will find Alabaster an epic win. Their style is reminiscent of Elastica, an adrenalized L7 beating up on Paramore, with a Greenday / The Gits split. On their new release, "The Diary I Should of Burned…" all of the songs are loaded with intense builds, stops and starts, that will push and pull on your heart making your lips sneer Billy Idol style, and your head bob in agreement.
Alabaster has accomplished much of their success by aggressively touring throughout the US playing such Festivals as Warped Tour, CMJ, and Bumbershoot. They are also currently in the finals to win a trip to London to join Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder, and Pearl Jam for the Hard Rock Calling festival in Hyde Park London.
So, if you want undeniably road tested punk, topped with sticky-sweet studs, check out Alabaster.
