Congratulations, Mark Emmert: Now you have alienated minor league baseball.
Emmert, the NCAA president, has made a habit of saying the wrong things while defending the organization's antiquated and disingenuous stance to not significantly increase the value of scholarships for student-athletes, even in the wake of mega-million revenue streams for this "amateur" enterprise. It happened again last week when Emmert testified in the Ed O'Bannon class-action anti-trust lawsuit: "To convert college sports into professional sports
would be tantamount to converting it into minor league sports. And we know that in the U.S. minor league sports aren't very successful either for fan support or for the fan experience."
One great thing about some minor-league baseball teams is they know a great lampooning promotion when they see one.
The Lake County (Ohio) Captains, the Single-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians, will hold Mark Emmert Appreciation Night on July 2. Punctuating this mock celebration of Emmert and the NCAA:
• Fans will be permitted to move from their ticketed seat location to another season, following a one-inning waiting period.
• Prizes will include "one and done" player basketball cards and copies of college football and basketball video games (a reference to NCAA's loss in EA Sports lawsuit).
• Fans wearing a "generic" college jersey that may or may not correspond to a specific player at the same college will be given "$100 handshakes" from a Captains' booster.
• Fans working in pre-game promotions will not be compensated but "will have the satisfaction of just having the opportunity to participate." Later, one promotional participant "will be crowned BCS (Big Captains Superstar) Champion via a subjective vote taken by members of the media and a computerized scoring algorithm."
The team said it will give college students $2 discounts to the game, saying they would've given them tickets for free but were afraid it would compromise their amateur status. Also, four college students can win wristbands for an all-you-can-eat pass for a future game, a reference to the NCAA's belated decision to finally expand meal privileges for athletes.
The Captains also invited Emmert to attend the game, where he will "have the opportunity to greet some of our hundreds of thousands fans who annually enjoy" games.
Just guessing: They probably have a better chance of getting O'Bannon to throw out the first pitch.• Instant re-post: Recent blogs and columns (free links)

SYDNEY, Dec. 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE: IBM) today announced that Tonkin Consulting, a leading national engineering, environmental and spatial consulting practice, will replace its existing HP switching hardware and servers with IBM PureFlex. Tonkin Consulting selected IBM to be the core component of its new enterprise-wide IT strategy to address its future needs and growth strategy because the PureFlex System integrates the server, storage, networking and software into a highly automated, simple-to-manage system.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20090416/IBMLOGO )
Working with Business Partner Vintek, IBM provided Tonkin Consulting with a PureFlex solution that includes integrated v7000 storage as well as additional IBM system networking, system x and tape storage products.
The solution is expected to significantly reduce IT costs, potentially halving management costs overall, while dramatically increasing its ability to rapidly scale up and down operations. Additionally, the solution will enable Tonkin Consulting to quickly create and deploy a private cloud providing disaster recovery for its offices in South Australia, Queensland and the Northern Territory.
"Our incumbent systems had grown out-of-date and lacked both the reliability and functional integration needed to serve growing client demands. The IBM PureFlex System is far superior to anything else currently in the market and represents the next generation of computing with the reliability and scalability to meet our future demands, ranging from more granular project control to increased operational visibility," said Gerry Doyle, CEO, Tonkin Consulting. "IBM's size and strategic direction, coupled with the expertise of its local business partner Vintek, aligned perfectly with Tonkin's own corporate vision of contributing to our clients' successes through innovation, value and relationships."
The end-stage of the solution will see Vintek deploy fully-integrated IBM management and data systems across all Tonkin Consulting operations sites and assets. Tonkin Consulting also has plans to expand its work with Vintek and IBM to support its modeling applications and a new ERP/CRM system due to launch in mid-2013.
"Our objective in working with Tonkin Consulting has been to deliver a holistic approach to infrastructure, which supports the firm's long-term growth strategy," said Paul Vinton, Managing Director, Vintek. "IBM PureFlex provides a fully integrated and optimized infrastructure that radically simplifies computing."
The deal was signed in October and the implementation of the new system will be completed in December.
For IBM Business Partners, PureSystems creates a new services opportunity to help clients solve the complexity of enterprise IT, reduce costs and encourage innovation. From resellers to distributors and Independent Software Vendors (ISVs), more than 2500 Business Partners have received PureSystems certifications. PureSystems currently run tens of thousands of existing ISV applications across four operating environments including Windows, Linux, AIX, and IBM i operating system. Additionally, Business Partners have created more than 250 new solutions and applications that are optimized to run on PureSystems. These patterns of expertise, which span 20 industries, can be accessed through the IBM PureSystems Centre. They include leading solutions from some of the world's largest ISVs, including ERP systems and applications for the banking, marketing, healthcare and energy industries.
Additionally, partners are able to perform many of the configuration and deployment services that previously came only from IBM and are optional and optionally available to be performed by qualified business partners.
To help address the new opportunity that PureSystems presents, IBM is also providing training, marketing, certifications and technical validation support to its Business Partners. For instance, dozens of IBM Innovation Centers in cities such as Bangalore, Dublin, Johannesburg and Shanghai are helping Business Partners develop and test their applications using IBM PureSystems. Business Partners can also bring their clients to IBM Innovation Centers to see PureSystems technology at work.

Need help finding a gas light fixture.
rph1234May 3, 2013
I am looking for a copper propane gas open flame exterior light fixture. I am looking for one that either can be set on a timer to run just a few hours each night, or one the runs off of a light switch like a regular light switch. All of the ones I have seen run continuous. That just seems to be a big waste of gas to me. This may be my only option though.

Container Tall plant for shady porch?
I'd love to put something in near my front door which has a recessed porch and am all out of ideas. It is South facing, though in shade all day long. I'd like something 6' tall and have even looked at fake plants (dare I say that here?) but would really rather not. I thought of statue but haven't seen anything I like. ANy recommendations would be welcome! I'm stumped.
What about a bamboo in a pot? Get a clumping one. You should be able to find something in the height you want, and I think they always look stunning in a pot near an entrance. You'd probably need winter protection in your area. A garage might work but check into that first...
You might want to consider house plants -- there are several nice ficus plants that would do well in that kind of light, for example -- or a Norfolk Island pine -- or any of a host of others. That bright, indirect light would be great for a lot of plants.
If you want something hardy that you don't have to protect in winter, check with a local nursery. They may have some good ideas, although a plant in a pot is going to have to be really root hardy to get through the cold in zone 5. There might be an evergreen that would work well (and you could put lights on it in winter) :) -- just be sure, whatever plant it is, that the roots in an exposed pot would be able to take the cold.
Have fun!
what about an obelisk on top of a pot- with ampelopsis varieg growing up it?in sun they get bad jap beetle but not in shade. lots of nice bright variega and beautiful blue and pppl berries in fall.
i like carolann's bamboo idea. the yellow and grn stripe one(extremely invasive in the garden, but fine in a pot) would accept the shade; you could plant it on the outer rim of a big glazed pot, as a fountaining edge, and then plant a tall thin evergreen in the pot middle.likewise you could use the lower growing, shade-tolerant, container planting- through- the- winter-tolerant hakonechloa.
schefflera elegantissima (formerly dizygotheca elegantissima) would be lovely, but it will die at 35o or lower. It looks like you are up North, so you'd have to winter it over somewhere so it wouldn't freeze. They are tall and narrow. Do a Google Image search if you want to see what it looks like.

In order to choose the best furniture for your living room, you'll want to learn the differences between sofa tables and end tables.

Coffee Table Fact Sheet
Coffee tables aren't limited to holding coffee cups and oversize books. A popular piece of furniture, the coffee table may be in the living room, den or recreation room, or on the patio: anywhere people using a sofa and chairs may gather and require space to place a beverage or plate. They may hold game boards for spirited competitions or the pieces for a jigsaw puzzle. A coffee table can be a focal point or a demure accessory. This coffee table fact sheet should help you learn more about this versatile piece of furniture.
Best End Tables for Each Room
Although the most popular room for end tables is undoubtedly the living room, you can place these tables in nearly every room in your home. When considering how to fit end tables in the rooms of your home, consider the room decor and whether or not the style of the end table matches your own. Even more basic than the style of end table is its shape, so consider how it will fit into your room. End tables can be square, rectangular, round or oval. Some end tables even nest together. One shape of end table might look best next to a recliner, while another might be perfect next to a sectional sofa. Look carefully at the room in which you will be placing the end tables. Is dark wood or light wood prevalent? Is it a small room or large room? Will the table sit in a corner, against a wall or in the middle of the room? As you can see, end tables are quite flexible. Here are some tips on placing end tables in your home.
Tips on Choosing a Sofa Table
Do you need to add function to your living room? Sofa tables can be placed between the sofa and the wall, where they provide a surface for lamps, books, or other objects. They also allow air flow from a radiator or heater vent that may be behind the sofa. This isn't the only way you can use these versatile living room tables. To pick the best sofa table for your space, follow these tips.
How to Arrange End Tables
You can use end tables in so many more places than just the two ends of your sofa. Look around your home and see where you could use a decorative accent piece, a little bit of storage, or just a place to set something down. Then you can shop for the end tables that will fill all of those needs.
Necessary Living Room Furniture - Sofas
Take a good look at your living room furniture. Sofas and loveseats are a staple when it comes to the way your living room looks. Pair your sofa with a loveseat or ottoman, and your living room is well on its way to looking its best. Although most people own living room furniture like ottomans and end tables, few realize what an impact their sofa can have on a living room. Sofas and other accompanying furniture can either tie a living room theme together or break it. Keep reading for more information about sofas.
How to Choose a Coffee Table
Usually, a coffee table is the center point of a sitting area. This area might be a small, cozy place with a sofa and a couple of chairs, a medium-sized family room that needs to be inviting for kids and their friends or an elegant living room designed for entertaining guests. You'll want to keep several considerations in mind when choosing your coffee table, including size, material, style and function. Taking a little time to prepare for the purchase can help you find a great addition to your existing furniture.
FAQs about Accent Tables
It's a common misconception that you need a lamp or a piece of art to complete a room. While those are both good choices, the same function can be filled with an elegant end table. Convenient, functional and at least semi-portable, living room accent tables are quickly becoming the accessory of choice in all types of homes. The right accent table can complement any style and provide an added storage area in even the smallest of spaces. Keep reading for the answers to frequently asked questions about accent tables.
Best End Tables for a Cozy Living Room
Your living room can easily become cozy simply by grouping end tables, sofas, chairs, and other furniture together to create a more intimate setting that encourages conversation. The best end tables for a cozy living room often serve multiple purposes. They can be used simply as a place to set a warm drink on a winter evening or as a useful storage area where magazines, knitting, or other living room essentials are kept. Here are some things to consider when you're shopping for the perfect end tables.
Best Additional Features for Coffee Tables
Don't ask what you can do for your coffee table; ask what your coffee table can do for you. Coffee tables are nothing if not multi-tasking furniture pieces that can accomplish a lot with a little. Trunk storage, magazine racks, drawers, shelving, hidden seating or even built-in ottomans are all possibilities, but beware of the busily tricked-out coffee table that includes all of these features. The message bears repeating: Think about the form and function of your coffee table. How will its design impact how you use it? The modern coffee table comes with plenty of extras, so choose carefully.

By Dhruv Gupta, Director of Product Marketing at Perforce
This article was originally published on the Perforce Blog.
An interesting article came out recently, "Why Continuous Deployment may mean Continuous Disappointment for your Customers." It correctly identifies the human need for a shiny, new thing every so often. And it argues that the practice of continuous deployment could lead to disenchantment with incremental updates.
The article cites examples of companies whose customers were left disillusioned by incremental additions or subtractions to existing capability.
There are at least a couple of underlying issues to explore.
- What does it mean to continuously deliver? What are we delivering, to whom, and when?
- What are my customer's expectations? Are they being met?
First, it is important to understand that the "delivery" or "deployment" in continuous delivery doesn't necessarily imply delivery to the end customer. The bible on the subject, "Continuous Delivery" by Jez Humble and David Farley, suggests that continuous delivery simply implies maintaining a state of readiness. The state of readiness implies you did deliver an update to someone. It did go through quality control and stakeholder approvals. However, business gets to decide the what, the whom and the when. This works really well for verticals like cloud-based software, where you might want to deliver new functionality to a select group of customers to begin with, vet that functionality, and then roll out to a larger audience. Continuous delivery doesn't necessitate delivery of every update to the customer, the moment the code is deployed. In fact, you might deliver daily updates to only your product manager and QA team, and that is it. This distinction is subtle, but often overlooked, leading to confusion.
Second, most business-minded staff would agree that to grow brand appeal it helps to have big announcements at a regular cadence. Depending on the sector, the announcement could be yearly, or quarterly if you just have a primary product line, or at a higher frequency across several product lines. We have seen the likes of Apple announce a new phone, a new device, the one more thing, at least once a year. It builds a sense of mystique and excitement. People wouldn't wait in lines for a new version of a phone released every month. Building anticipation is essential if you want people to sit up and take notice. In other sectors, a constant stream of updates is more desirable. We see this phenomenon with mobile apps. No big announcements required — just updates. We are used to that. Major updates still come every so often.
This also brings to bear an important issue. Customers don't like big changes frequently. It takes time for us to get used to a new product. Some products come only at a considerable cost. A new update that arrives sooner than justified by the cost of acquisition can create a backlash. Release a new product too quickly on the heels of the last one—without advance notice—and you might cause angst in the customers who only recently bought the previous version. Loyal customers might feel burnt by the quick update. They might even abandon the brand altogether as a result of feeling the company is apathetic to them. This is especially the case with hardware products—cameras, computers and the like.
If practiced the right way, Continuous Delivery should allow marketers to balance the extremes. You can choose to release incremental updates as they become available to all customers. You can choose to limit major updates or new deliverables until you're convinced that they satisfy customer requirements, and go for the big launch. Either way, continuous delivery can help return control to the business.
That said, there is much to learn about the impact of Continuous Delivery on a business and its customers. With customers in many different verticals, we have a great vantage point to see how this practice evolves. Our data suggests there's a lot of movement to this practice. And we're excited to play an important role in the shift.
To learn more about Continuous Delivery, have a look at our CD Report.

Wearable technology was dominant at this year's International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) , and MWC was no exception to this trend. New versions of favorites, such as the Samsung Gear (three new products were released: the Gear 2, the Gear 2 Neo and the Gear Fit), shared the limelight with new wearables like Pebble Time Steel (the new premium version of the company's previously released smartwatch) and the LG Watch Urbane. The most dramatic difference at MWC was an emphasis on presenting wearables as fashion accessories and moving away from the original clunky technology associated with t...

nativity ornament
I'm looking for the pattern for an ornament that has a sheep, a donkey, and the manger that says "shhh its Him!" I've seen a couple of pictures on the internet, but no instructions or pattern. Any help would be appreciated.
There's another free pattern for a nativity ornament here:
lol Yep, i'm more of a lurker than a talker thats for sure, always been a little shy. Here is a link to one of the pics, I hope it works.
Thank you
It looks like a Kenna & Donna pattern, I don't know that they are still in print. But, you can find some of their pattern packets on Shirley Wilsons site: http://www.ladybugart.com/kd_packets.htm
Hope this helps.
Peg....it could also be a Pat Olson pattern.
