Hope You're Back in the Saddle Real Soon...
I love, love, love Texas! As the bumper sticker says, "I'm not from Texas but I got here as soon as I could...". I saw this cute boot on the Just Because Cards cartridge and wanted to make a shaped card with it. So, I got out my trusted Gypsy and got to work..
I used the boot shadow layer and set it at 5". The actual card is not really big (approx. 5" x 3") and might make a great card to tie on a gift bag.
Loving this Texas themed stamp set by Erin Lee Creative - so cute!
Here are both versions of the card - the pink one was for my other blog, Everyday Cricut. If you haven't been over to Everyday Cricut and you love the Cricut and are looking for (almost) daily inspiration, check it out HERE!
I'm working on getting the Gypsy file up soon - having some 4shared issues...
Have a great day!

Former real estate agent sentenced for embezzlement
Dan McDonald
Managing Editor
A former Portola real estate agent was fined and sentenced to five years of probation last week after pleading "no contest" to felony embezzlement.
Earl Warren Morrison, 67, was convicted of taking more than $54,000 from a property management trust account when he worked for Portola-based Lynn Welch Realty.
The charges against Morrison were the result of a 15-month investigation by the Plumas County District Attorney's Office. The DA's investigators, Jeff Wilkinson and Jessica Beatley, also did extensive outreach to locate many of Morrison's victims.
The investigators found that Morrison had removed the money from a trust account that held security deposits paid by renters pending the completion of their rental agreement. Most of the theft reportedly took place in 2011.
Morrison, who had no previous criminal record, surrendered his real estate broker license in August 2012 after the California Department of Real Estate accused him of six violations.
During the July 10 sentencing in Quincy, visiting judge Thomas Kelly took into account that Morrison used some of the misappropriated money to help property owners with repairs and other bills.
"It was a sad situation all around," District Attorney David Hollister said. "The victims all lost a great deal of money during a troubled economy. While he did try and use some of the money to assist property owners, he used much of the stolen proceeds for his own benefit."
As part of his probation, Morrison was ordered to serve 182 days in the county jail, pay fines of nearly $1,000 and pay restitution in the amount of $54,031.95.

Helpful Definition for: Taxidermy
Taxidermists at Troy are people who are skilled in the art of stuffing, mounting and thus reproducing dead animals to enable them to be put on display. This process can be carried out on most vertebrate animals. The equipment and chemicals used for taxidermy have improved greatly in the last few decades, enabling better and more lifelike preservation. The process intially involves skinning the dead animal. This, if done skilfully, can be accomplished without opening the body cavity. Thus, blood and internal organs can't be seen. Then the peeled skin is treated with chemicals. It may also be tanned. It is then mounted on a mannequin (shaped like the animal). The mannequin can be made of clay or polyurethane material. Glass eyes are fitted into the cavities. The entire assemblage can be put on display. Usually, a professional taxidermist at Troy is attached to a museum or some similar institution. However, many practise taxidermy as an interesting hobby. Knowledge of anatomy, painting, tanning and sculpture are essential to become a good taxidermist. Sometimes, taxidermy plays around with anatomical accuracy by combining parts of different animals. This is used in sideshows and dime museums.

Census asks employees to grade themselves to cut costs
Thursday - 9/6/2012, 5:46am EDT
Nancy Potek, deputy director, Census Bureau, Part 1
The Census Bureau is expanding an initiative that asks employees to assess their job skills in an effort to fill critical competency gaps and reduce costs.
The self-assessments, which have so far been limited to IT workers, are critical, as the bureau revamps its internal processes to execute a more efficient 2020 census, said Nancy Potok, the agency's deputy director.
"This helps us really get a much better sense of what we have, and we're going to roll it out to some of our other core HR job position categories," she told Federal News Radio.
Nancy Potok, deputy director, Census Bureau
Those positions include survey and math statisticians.
Agency leadership has upgraded the way Census employees collect, analyze and process data. Potok said the competency assessments will help managers reinforce weak spots in the workforce.
"We have people here who have done censuses for maybe one, two, even three decades," she said. "And now we have to look forward and do something really non-traditional in a sense. So we want to make sure that we have the right skillsets here."
Census has saved nearly $2.3 billion on planned spending for the last two population counts. But Potok said fiscal pressure has forced the agency to find even more savings.
"We were given charge by the Congress, really, to try to find a way to do the 2020 census for less money on a per-household basis than what the 2010 census cost," she said. "So we've been looking at a lot of different ways that we can really take advantage of technology and the way society is changing, to try to save money."
Census upgrades employee development, training
The agency will use the skills-assessments to help managers and employees craft individual development plans, Potok said.
"I think what we'd like to do is see how we can train people here and see if we can get the skillsets that they need," she said. "Part of this is deploying people to the places where they can be best-utilized within the whole agency."
In another effort to improve workforce skills, the Census Bureau runs a corporate job rotation program where new employees move among the agency's components.
"And this not only gets people in positions where they can build the skills that they need, but it's also a way for us to start developing our future leadership-people who have kind of a broad view across the whole Census Bureau," she said.
But training and developing employees takes time. So the agency is using contractors to temporarily fill competency gaps, Potok said. Leaders might also offer new rounds of buyouts and early retirements to make room for new employees who already possess the skills necessary to modernize census operations. But the agency has not made any final decisions, she said.
Census revamps internal structure
The bureau's effort to modernize its workforce comes as the agency also is updating its internal structure. The effort began in 2011, when leaders decided to close six of 12 regional offices.
"We will be done [closing the offices] by Dec. 31," Potok said.
But the agency also is restructuring its headquarters operations.
The internal changes will help the bureau stay current with fast-changing data collection technology, said then-Census Director Robert Groves in July 2011.
He stepped down last month to become provost at Georgetown University.

ITS ALMOST THAT TIME!!!!!! BOWLING FOR DOLLARS FOR 2012/2013! SPOOKY EXPRESS AND BOWL SEASON Many of you know I started posting my bowl game selections over 12 years ago and that is how it all began at the forums. Never have had a losing bowl season since 1977 and not about to start now. Record speaks for itself. Have had some unbelievable outstanding seasons and a few average years but always have showed a profit. This is the only time I truly crunch numbers and play more with the numbers than my head. Will start posting some opinions in the next few weeks but wanted to get started on all the threads since there is so much work involved. I am just going to make 1 thread for the analysis, write ups, thoughts for each of the games that go along with the rankings and another thread for my game time updates, selections and wagers. These will once again be MY PLAYS and my opinion. I really dont care if you follow or not. Not looking to debate my selections. The totals (Over/Unders) will be posted much closer to game time since weather and other developments effect the game. I will post my power ratings, my dog plays and some money line plays if you care. Happy Holidays and best of luck. -------------------------------------------------------------- BOWL SELECTIONS, EXPLANATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS First off, as the odds change so can the selection. Obviously the Best bets will not change dramatically. Also will play MONEY LINE Parlays with some teams that are favored to win but not cover by much. You are not going to get a selection for every game, but using some consistency and going with what YOU believe in, will bring home the $$$.
Make post sticky on:
For those interested in POWER RATINGS. The lower the number the stronger the ranking. These numbers will change slightly after the Army/Navy game. A huge THANK YOU will always go out to Bobalou for all her assistance in crunching the numbers every year. Without her this wouldnt be complete until much closer to bowl season. TEAM / RANK Florida State 96 Alabama 128 Utah State 166 Northern Illinois 170 Texas A&M 178 Fresno St 187 Georgia 196 BYU 198 Notra Dame 202 Oregon 204 Oklahoma 227 Tulsa 229 LSU 229 Boise State 233 Arizona State 233 San Jose State 235 Wisconsin 237 South Carolina 237 Clemson 240 Arkansas State 244 Florida 247 Oregon State 249 Cincinnati 252 Oklahoma State 253 Kansas State 257 Vanderbilt 259 Michigan 266 Bowling Green 267 Pittsburgh 274 UCF 276 Louisville 277 TCU 278 Nebraska 278 Michigan State 282 San Diego State 284 UCLA 290 Texas Tech 291 Syracuse 296 USC 300 Virgina Tech 306 Stanford 311 Northwestern 312 Western Kentucky 313 Ohio 316 Texas 324 Louisiana Monroe 327 Nevada 328 Rutgers 332 Ole Miss 332 West Virginia 333 Mississippi St 335 LA-Lafayette 336 Georgia Tech 345 Baylor 350 Navy 352 Kent State 357 Toledo 365 Arizona 366 Purdue 373 Air Force 383 Washington 383 Ball State 387 NC State 394 SMU 396 Rice 404 East Carolina 406 Minnesota 407 Iowa State 442 Central Michigan 459 Duke 483
BOWL SELECTIONS IN ORDER OF TEAMS SELECTED TO WIN BY THE MOST POINTS. (POINTSPREADS ARE NOT INVOLVED) THIS IS USED TO DETERMINE MONEY LINE PLAYS, CONTESTS AND PLAYS NOT INVOLVING POINTSPREADS. TEAM / Power Difference / Team They are Playing Cincinnati 23.1 Duke Tulsa 21.3 Iowa State Fresno St 20.9 SMU Utah State 19.9 Toledo Boise State 15.0 Washington Western Kentucky 14.6 Central Michigan Vanderbilt 13.5 NC State Oklahoma State 12.0 Purdue Arizona State 11.9 Navy Texas Tech 11.6 Minnesota Arkansas State 11.3 Kent State UCF 11.1 Ball State BYU 8.6 San Diego State Georgia 8.2 Nebraska Oregon State 7.5 Texas Wisconsin 7.4 Stanford Alabama 7.4 Notre Dame Florida State 7.4 Northern Illinois LA_Lafayette 7.0 East Carolina Pittsburgh 5.8 Ole Miss UCLA 5.7 Baylor Oregon 5.3 Kansas State Texas A&M 4.9 Oklahoma USC 4.5 Georgia Tech Nevada 3.8 Arizona Syracuse 3.7 West Virginia San Jose State 3.2 Bowling Green Florida 3.0 Louisville South Carolina 2.9 Michigan Virgina Tech 2.6 Rutgers Northwestern 2.3 Mississippi St Air Force 2.1 Rice Ohio 1.1 Louisiana Monroe LSU 1.1 Clemson TCU 0.4 Michigan State
Hey Spook - I think you have East Carolina and UL-Lafayette flipped here. Power rankings show that UL-Lafayette are the team with the advantage that game, not ECU. Just figured I'd contribute my part.
Looks like the same thing happened for BYU vs. San Diego State
I will post the early recap for some of you that have not followed in years past or like their annual reminder. As the odds change so can the selection. Obviously the Best bets will not change dramatically. There will be in the coming weeks more analysis and capping for each game along with some totals (Over/Unders) which will be posted much closer to game time since weather and other developments effect the game. At the beginning is where I jump on some early lines which stand out and get the best value for the wager. I may completely reverse my thinking as time goes by, but for now I let the numbers do the talking and everyone that has seen or followed Spooky this millennium can corroborate how solid they usually are. ANYTIME A TEAM IS PICKED TO WIN OUTRIGHT AND ALSO COVER WITH THE POINTS MAKES THEM A PLAY. NO LOOKING BACK, NO THINKING ABOUT IT. There will also be some live underdogs. So be ready. These teams are picked to win and they are getting points. Money Line Dogs. Get them while they are hot. Don't be afraid when the pointspread moves. It is done so emotionally. QB gets hurt, RB gets suspended, who cares. The points will be adjusted. These selections are not based on 1 or 2 games but an entire season. Remember since 1977 this has not lost. Just use some judgement and as we get closer the plays will become clearer and Spooky will let you know. If you like a Pro game, start making small parlays with them on the best bets. By the time game time comes around you should have tons of action on the later games and that creates tons of profit!!!! Since many ask about the way I mess with the strengths of each play, this is a synopsis of what I do. I will usually rank them 1 thru 5 smileys with the 4 and 5 smileys very infrequently. If there is no smiley listed than you can consider that anywhere from an opinion to 1 smiley. When playing on the totals I will almost always consider it an opinion. For the simple reason that I crunch numbers during bowl season and the side has a value outside of what is my opinion. The total is basically my opinion (which is what I do the remaining months of the year). The total is totally subjective. I usually will make the total play anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 of the listed play. So if I am playing 300 on a game then the total would be anywhere from 75 to 150 if we were to put a numerical dollar value on it. Please remember this is what I do, I am not getting paid to determine your money management or what you should be doing. Certainly you can play everything equal or you can follow the smileys. This is just my Bowl Express and sharing with everyone what I am dong for the most part. ===================================================== This is where I get started early on. Here will be all the team strengths indicating what teams are the strongest plays based solely on the system and based on the current pointspread. As the odds change so can the selection. There will be more in the coming weeks more analysis and capping for each game along with some totals (Over/Unders) which will be posted much closer to game time since weather and other developments effect the game. These teams listed here are picked to win and they are getting points. Money Line Dogs. Here are some we are looking at early on. Nevada, Ohio, Syracuse, Northwestern and Pittsburghall are dogs that are picked to win outright but not as strong to go balls to the wall at this point other than..... Wisconsin +7 There are only a few outstanding money line dogs this year but there are a couple more that stand out and will possibly be the play of the year. They will win outright and probably be double digits Louisville +14 Wisconsin +7 Nevada+10 These teams are picked to win outright with a significant advantage. Right now is where I jump on some early lines which stand out and get the best value for the wager. I may completely reverse my thinking as time goes by, but for now I let the numbers do the talking. Tulsa Pk Cincinnati -7 Utah State -10 Boise State -5 Fresno State -11 Western Kentucky -6 Wisconsin +7 Lousivlle +14 Arkansas State -1 The absolute BEST BETS of the entire Bowl Season are Cincinnati laying the points and Tulsa getting the points. These 2 games should be parlayed with anything and everything you like in the bowl season and pound the crap out of em. Also feel strongly about Fresno State and Utah State but hate laying double digits and making it a Bowl Season lock. If you are looking for a six pack of Best bets then we just add Wisconsin plus the points and Nevada to kick off the bowl season. These are entirely the best bets and regardless of how many smileys I put down these are the plays of the season. Games come up so quickly during bowl season I dont always have time to come back and update everything and focus on the thread as much as my own plays. :)
GILDAN NEW MEXICO BOWL NEVADA vs. ARIZONA Saturday, Dec. 15, 1:00 pm ESPN The first bowl game of the year this year almost certainly won't be the best one by the time they are all played, but it certainly is an intriguing one. And we can be certain of one thing — it won't be boring. Nevada isn't nearly as strong as they have been in recent years, but their offense is still potent and creative. Arizona is well ahead of where they are supposed to be in the first year of a bold and unrecognizable new era, and the Wildcats will be looking to end the year on a high note. Both teams averaged more than 500 yards of offense per game. And defense is a dirty word on both sides, so there is more than a chance that the scoreboard will get worn out in this one. The Wildcats finished at 7-5. They looked great at times and miserable at others, and they were generally tough to predict — as their 6-6 ATS record suggests. They had great wins over Oklahoma State and USC and took Stanford to overtime, but then they lost 49-0 to Oregon, didn't show up against UCLA in a 66-10 massacre, and were not at their best against weak Arizona State — their biggest rival. They changed absolutely everything about their program this year, and they were short on talent, so the struggles with consistency aren't a real surprise or a major concern at this point. Coach Rich Rodriguez is in his first year with the Wildcats. The Wolf Pack were also 7-5 this season, but they were an ugly 3-9 ATS. Their issue wasn't with consistency but with stamina. They started very strong, with a 6-1 record through seven games, and the loss coming by just a single point. But then the schedule got tougher, the wheels fell off, and they lost four of their last five. Those losses came against San Diego State, Air Force, Fresno State and Boise State. Their biggest win was against Cal in the opener. Head coach Chris Ault is in his 25th year with the program and his 12th since the team moved to Division I. He's a strong coach with an innovative system, but he is just plain lousy in bowl games. He is just 2-7 in his career, and he has dropped five of his last six. Will there be a touchdown on every possession? - It's quite possible that the last team to touch the ball in this one will win. Nevada is 11th in the country in total yards and seventh in rushing yards. Nevada's defensive numbers are slightly better at first glance. However, their level of competition is worse, so they are probably generous. Perhaps the biggest lock in this game is that there will be more than 1,000 yards of total offense. If there wasn't then that would count as a massive upset. Will the break help Nevada? - The biggest problem Nevada had was that they just weren't good enough against strong competition. They also got tired — more mentally than physically — as the season progressed, and their issues were exposed. Now they will have two weeks between their last game and their bowl game. It's the shortest possible break in bowl season, but will it be enough for this team to regroup, refresh, and get focused on this opponent? Or will the mistakes and issues that have haunted them the last two months stick with them? If Nevada doesn't find a way to tighten up and prepare for this one fully then they will be in trouble — even while facing a defense as bad as Arizona's. Nevada just hasn't faced a very strong schedule this year, and they have struggled against the best of it. Arizona, meanwhile, has played a pretty respectable slate of Pac-12 opponents. They haven't all gone well, but they will gain from that experience. Rich Rodriguez also has more to gain from a big game here because he's building his foundation for the future. That all said after looking over this game I just dont see Arizona getting up for this game and giving more than a touchdown just is too many points. I never like coming out in the first game of Bowl Season with a really strong play anyway and the numbers point to Nevada, suprisingly. And I really feel the money will be coming in on Nevada and when everyone else zigs I always zag. I think Nevada has a shot at an upset win but more important I really see this game coming down to a touchdown game and worse case a backdoor cover is very much within reason if any of my logic is wrong. Lets go with an upset right out of the box and Nevada winning by a field goal. As we are almost at the start of bowl season, also going to get started with a play on the total for the game. Just going to be a lot of scoring in this game and wouldnt be surprised if this becomes a fun game to watch. Dont forget this is a MONEYLINE DOG. So big odds if you want to follow the express. NEVADA +11 NEVADA/ARIZONA OVER 78 POINTS
FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL UTAH STATE vs. TOLEDO Saturday, Dec. 15, 4:30 pm ESPN The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl features the Toledo Rockets and Utah State Aggies squaring off. Toledo began the 2012 campaign blistering hot at 8-1 with a season opening loss to Arizona marring perfection. However, just when the Rockets were looking like the team to beat in the MAC West, back to back defeats to Northern Illinois and Ball State left Toledo in the third spot of the division. When this team is clicking the points flow with the offense with equally strong running and passing attacks. For the offense to be effective, quarterback Terrance Owens has to make throws and limit mistakes. Owens has a pair of quality receivers to lean on. The ground game is Doug Fluellen. The defense gave up over 27 points including 295 yards in the air but actually kept the scoreboard manageable despite giving up 463 yards per contest. Utah State had showed positive signs the past few years but really burst on to the scene in 2012. The Aggies are literally a few plays from being unbeaten with a two point loss to Wisconsin and a three point defeat to Brigham Young. What makes this team so dangerous is they can score and defend with just about anyone. The success of this offense has been the emergence of Chuckie Keaton. Kerwynn Williams and Matt Austin were almost interchangable receivers but Keaton had a bunch of receivers with at least 23 receptions. For me this game boils down to defense because both teams can score but Utah State has the ability to to more stops than Toledo. I still hate laying the big number but I like teams that can get it done on the defensive side of the football. I see Utah State winning easily in this game by more than 3 touchdowns. Once again I will update this matchup closer to kickoff with any changes, write up, thoughts and final determination. UTAH STATE -10 UTAH STATE/TOLEDO OVER 58 POINTS
SAN DIEGO COUNTY CU POINSETTIA BOWL BYU vs. SAN DIEGO STATE Thursday, Dec. 20, 8:00 pm ESPN The San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl is a game that doesn't get a lot of attention since it is typically played on a weeknight before Christmas. This is the eighth year of the modern era of this bowl, though, and at least five of the previous seven games have been more than just a little interesting. In fact, last year's TCU victory over Louisiana Tech was one of the more enjoyable games of the whole bowl season. This year's matchup features former Mountain West rivals and two teams that have uncertain futures. BYU went independent, but it is flirting with again joining a conference — including perhaps the Mountain West again. San Diego State is slated to head to the Big East next year, but that move is less certain now that the Big East is falling apart. We don't know what the future of this matchup holds, but for now it should offer a pretty compelling game. San Diego State finished at 9-3 to wind up third in the Mountain West, and they were a strong 8-4 ATS. The three losses were all respectable — at Washington and Fresno State and to Washington. Their best wins were at Boise State and at Nevada. Coach Rocky Long is in his second year with the program. The BYU Cougars came in with much higher hopes than the 7-5 record they wound up with. They were even worse ATS at 6-6. Their problem was consistency. They won their first two games, then lost two, then won two, then lost two, then won two before a loss and a win to cap the season. With the exception of Utah the losses were all quality — at Boise State, Notre Dame, and San Jose State, and at home to Oregon State. Utah State and at Georgia Tech were their best wins. Coach Bronco Mendenhall is in his eighth year at BYU. Can San Diego State run? The Aztecs success depends more on their ability to run than anything else. They face a massive challenge here, though — BYU is second in the country in run defense in giving up a paltry 84.2 yards per game. The Broncos are stronger against the pass than the Aztecs are at passing as well, so the Aztecs really need to rely on their strength and try to establish their run early here. It's going to be a very tough challenge. No other matchup will have a bigger impact on this game than this one. BYU gets the nod from me for two big reasons — they are going to contain San Diego State on the ground, and Mendenhall is the better coach who will have more tricks to rely on. This will be a tight defensive battle, and a field goal could easily decide it, so I wouldn't want to give up more than three points, but at this price I'm in. I see BYU winning this game by a little more than a touchdown. With game time later today I am liking BYU more and more and since we have been on them for 3 weeks now I will press it up a bit but will be taking the moneyline since I dont see that many points being scored. The total would probably be best used in a teaser but for anyone looking for a pick on the total I have an opinion on the Under. BYU PK (moneyline) BYU/WASHINGTON UNDER 49 POINTS (Opinion)
BEEF 'O' BRADY'S BOWL EXPRESS BALL STATE vs. CENTRAL FLORIDA Friday, Dec. 21, 7:30 pm ESPN While this bowl game has one of the strangest names of any of the contests, there's no doubt that we will see two really good football teams. Both Central Florida and Ball State won nine games this year and the winner will get the rare opportunity to finish the season with double digit victories. Pretty impressive for each team. On Central Florida's side of things, we see that the Knights finished with a 7-1 record overall in Conference USA and lost in the title game to Tulsa. The Golden Hurricanes clearly had UCF's number this season, giving the Knights two of their four losses overall on the season. Their other two losses were to Ohio State and Missouri. The Knight's defense was pretty solid on the season overall. A fairly balanced squad, the Knights did a great job of keeping opposing defenses from being able to shut them down as they were consistent all season. Ball State finished with a 6-2 record overall in the MAC this season, dropping games to Northern Illinois and Kent State — the two best teams in the entire league. The Cardinals had a very productive season in non-conference as well, with the only loss on the schedule coming at Clemson early in the year. Ball State closed the year with six straight wins, four of which came on the road. The Cardinals can score points at 35 per game, but playing in the MAC tends to inflate defensive numbers as the squad gave up more than 31 points per game this season, which ranked 91st in the country. UCF will want to stop Ball State's ability to run the football effectively. Sure, they can move it around the field via the pass, but Ball State has won nine games this season by being a team that pounds the rock. Ball State relies heavily on their rushing attack, and if the Cardinals can watch film on what Tulsa was able to do against Central Florida they may be in good shape here or get a back door cover. These two teams are even when it comes to quarterback play, but Central Florida has more weapons at wide receiver. The game is in Florida, so it may feel like a home game for Central Florida. This is just a small play right now, I'll roll with Central Florida to win this game by about 10 points. Expect a good one here in St. Pete. Also adding the Over as a play in the game. Remember the side is worth 2-3 times as much as the total so each unit with the side is really a 3 unit play while the total is just a 1 or 2 unit play. CENTRAL FLORIDA -7 CENTRAL FLORIDA/BALL STATE OVER 58 POINTS
R+L CARRIERS NEW ORLEANS BOWL UL LAFAYETTE vs. EAST CAROLINA Saturday, Dec. 22, 12:00 pm ESPN Lafayette will be playing virtually a home game where they were 5-1 this year. The Cajuns strangled four of five visitors by 21 plus points. ECU was 3-3 on the road. Louisiana Lafayette has to be happy to be back here at the New Orleans Bowl for the second straight year. The team was able to win its first every bowl game last year in this venue, and now, it is going to be back with a chance to do it for the second straight year. The Cajuns won eight games, but perhaps their most notable game came when they were beaten by the Florida Gators in a game that could have been had over the SEC reps. Meanwhile, East Carolina made very few mistakes in Conference USA this year, but the one loss that the team had to UCF on the road took it out of the C-USA title game. It's a nice consolation prize to be in a bowl game that is relatively close to home. Im very familiar with the Sun Belt conference since my son went to one of the schools in the conference here in Florida. ULL will look to dominate physically when they can and they always keep the pressure on with some trick plays thrown in.ly sprinkled with trick plays. They have a big bad running back and I cant see East Carolina being able to dominate ULL physically. Their rush defense numbers are decent,but if they load the box then ULL will throw the ball downfield with a bunch of guys that have made big plays all year long. Louisiana-Lafayette should beat East Carolina playing in their backyard, and I have ULL winning this game by a touchdown. We played this game a couple weeks ago when the line was only 4 points. Will pop in tomorrow with anything on the total but leaning towards the over.

MAACO BOWL LAS VEGAS EXPRESS WASHINGTON vs. BOISE STATE Saturday, Dec. 22, 3:30 pm ESPN It's a preview of next year's season opener (in Seattle) for Washington and Boise State. Washington played one of the nation's toughest schedules this season, with five games against Top-11 teams. The Huskies won two of them, beating Pac-12 champ Stanford and Oregon State. But UW was routed at LSU and at Oregon and lost by 10 to Southern Cal. It looked like the team was hitting its stride at the end with four wins in a row, but the Huskies suffered a head-scratching season-ending 31-28 overtime loss to a very bad Washington State team, blowing a 28-10 fourth-quarter lead in the Apple Cup. Both starting quarterbacks have had their struggles this season. Boise State and Washington have met once. They will play there again on Aug. 31, 2013, in the newly-renovated Husky Stadium. The two schools do have one common opponent for this year: San Diego State. Joe Southwick of Boise was tasked with filling the huge shoes of Moore. The Broncos ranked 80th in the nation in passing. Sixth-year running back D.J. Harper did well.. He is the 12th player in school history to record a 1,000-yard season and it is the fourth straight year Boise State has had a 1,000-yard rusher. The Broncos have lost just 15 turnovers all season and rank fourth in the nation in turnover margin. Keith Price is one of the better quarterbacks in Washington history but has been up-and-down in his junior season. He threw at least one pick in every loss and was intercepted on the first play of overtime against Wazzu. Price enters the bowl with 53 career touchdown passes. He needs three touchdown passes to break Cody Pickett's career record at Washington. Price has one of the nation's top tight ends in Austin Seferian-Jenkins. Sophomore running back Bishop Sankey capably replaced Chris Polk this season. Price and Co. face a Boise State defense that ranked sixth nationally in allowing 14.9 points per game, No. 7 in pass efficiency defense and No. 9 in total. And those numbers kind of make it hard to go against Boise. I think it's fair to say that Boise State has the defensive edge, especially against the pass. Opposing quarterbacks have two touchdown passes with 16 interceptions. But the Huskies have clearly superior talent on offense even though Washington scored more than 21 points just four times all season. The Huskies should be very dangerous next year, but I honestly have no clue which team shows up here: the one that gagged against the Cougars and was destroyed by Arizona or the one that outphysicaled a very physical Stanford team. At this point everyone is jumping on Washington and I look at the numbers and they show Boise winning by 2 touchdowns. So lets get Coach Peterson to bring his boys another bowl vicotry. Leaning towards the under as well but really only an opinion.

Donation Boxes Removed, Redesigned for Theft-proofing
Ashland officials have removed three donation boxes aimed at benefiting the homeless after it was discovered that all the paper bills inside had been stolen. The Ashland Daily Tidings reports the downtown boxes will be reinstalled after they are redesigned to be theft proof.
The boxes were installed in mid-June as part of a project to help homeless people in Ashland and Talent.
Graham Lewis is a member of Ashland's Homelessness Steering Committee. He says when the boxes were opened this month, they contained $90 in change. Lewis says organizers knew of people who had deposited paper bills.
A 48-year-old homeless man was arrested in July for allegedly using a wire hook to fish money out of one of the boxes.

LISBON – Reservations at the Lisbon Beach and Campground are already streaming in as the popular vacation destination prepares for a May 1 opening and puts the finishing touches on an 11-site expansion project.
According to Campground Director Michael J. ONeil close to 50 seasonal sites are booked so far.
Ive had, throughout the winter, people calling to reserve the pavilion and seasonal sites, Mr. ONeil said.
He said retirement parties, family reunions and graduation parties are common uses of the campgrounds facilities.
A total of 26 sites have been booked for the Aug. 8 to 11 Bass Anglers Sportsmans Society Bassmaster Elite Series, Mr. ONeil estimated.
The Bassmaster Elite Series: St. Lawrence River Showdown will bring 102 of the worlds top bass anglers and their families to the region along with other fishermen and television crews.
Ive had quite a few bass fishermen [stay at the campground], Mr. ONeil said.
As early as last summer, bass fishermen were booking sites at the campground and beginning to scout the river, he said.
This summer will also be the first after a $173,000 project that added 11 sites and upgraded 32 existing ones.
The work on the new sites has been completed, Mr. ONeil said. All thats left is cosmetic work, including some landscaping.
Mr. ONeil said he expects the finishing touches to be complete by the end of the month.
Were going to have close to 100 sites total, Mr. ONeil said of this summers capacity.
And even with that capacity Mr. ONeil said he expects the campground will be overflowing at different times.
Besides the Bassmaster tournament, Mr. ONeil is bracing for Memorial Day, Ogdensburgs Seaway Festival, and Lisbons Homecoming, which are all traditionally busy times for the campground.
While the seasonals come regardless of the weather, Mr. ONeil said, if this summer is as sunny and warm as last summer the campground will be packed on weekends.
Lisbon Beach and Campground is open from May 1 to Oct. 1 – though Mr. ONeil said he hopes to open a couple of days earlier this year to accommodate those looking to set up in advance of the May 1 opening of the walleye fishing season.

Stork Prints Demonstrates Total System Solutions at drupa
Stork Prints will be demonstrating its expertise in many different aspects of digital and rotary screen printing for labels and packaging at drupa, May 3-16, 2012 in Düsseldorf (Hall 3, booth E70).
Stork Prints is a pioneer in digital textile printing and active in the digital printing industry for over 25 years. On show will be everything from the digital label printer and engravers to rotary screen printing modules and screens. There will also be plenty of demonstrations so visitors can witness the advantages of Stork Prints solutions firsthand.
Brilliant, rapid and low-cost labels with the DSI
One of the main attractions at our stand will be the DSI UV inkjet printer. This digital printing press produces eye-catching labels with excellent colour strength and brilliance, at speeds up to a remarkable 700m2/hour, while keeping costs low. Multiple demos will be given each day.
The DSI is a truly cost-effective UV inkjet label printer, offering sublime printing quality at amazing speeds. Its combination of photographic quality and a rotary screen "look and feel" makes it suitable for everything from short- to medium- and even long-run jobs. Especially when used in combination with Stork Prints' own-brand inks, all developed and produced in-house, it gives superior results characterized by a high resistance to light and impressive scratch-proofing.
The DSI achieves visual resolution on labels of up to 1000dpi, as well as 3D effects that resemble screen printing. It also accurately reproduces tonal values as low as 1%. Printing on many different types of substrates can be accomplished and the new digital primer even enables printing on machine coated paper. Repeat lengths of up to 7m are possible, and are therefore not limited by the drum size.
But that's not all; the DSI is modular in design, and therefore suitable for everything from stand-alone digital printing to use in complete lines with in-line (semi-rotary) converting. Hence the excellent TCO (total cost of ownership) per printed label. It is supplied with four print heads as standard, although an additional six can be added to enable options like digital white, digital primer and an extended colour gamut through the colours orange and violet. This versatile unit is ideal for markets ranging from food and personal care to wine and spirits, household goods and outdoor applications.
Easy conversion with RSI
On display will be a range of modular print units based on our renowned Rotary Screen Integration (RSI) technology. At our stand will be four RSI print units, the RSI 2 16", the RSI Compact and RSI print modules for OEM partners Nilpeter and OMET. These units are easily shifted to the position where screen printing is needed using an optional sliding rail. The print units reach speeds of up to 100 m/min.
Contemporarily designed, the RSI print modules can be seamlessly integrated into the architecture, software and mechanics of the latest-generation presses. Key benefits include full interaction, user-friendly and a short learning curve.
It can be controlled through the main panel of the press. This provides simultaneous, centralised monitoring of all rotary screen positions alongside other printing and converting operations.
With RSI, label printers can produce special effects and access extra functionality that cannot be achieved by any other printing process. Reliable and economical value-added production of the 'non-label look', metallic and opaque colours, glitters, tactile warning symbols, texture varnishes, scratch-off inks and many other effects can be applied using our RSI technology.
RotaMesh and RotaPlate
Other rotary screen highlights at the Stork Prints stand include the re-imageable RotaMesh® screens for RSI systems, and the re-usable RotaPlate® screens for non-Stork Prints systems. Both screen systems feature the ultra-stable electroformed pure-nickel construction, offering easy handling, high stability and longevity at relatively high speeds. The RotaMesh and RotaPlate screens and samples will be on display, featuring applications characteristics such as tactile, glitter, holograms, opaque whites, adhesives, glow in the dark, UV-active, thermo-sensitive, iridescent, security and brand protection.
Security printing program
In the battle against counterfeiting, rotary screen printing technology is used for a variety of security features, for example for cosmetic products, pharmaceuticals, food packaging and event tickets. At the Drupa, Stork Prints will display various printed security samples, that can be incorporated in your labels or packaging. We also offer a program for the high secure area, as tax banderols and bank notes. Understandably, because of the sensitive character of this topic, we advise you to contact our responsible sales managers.
Gravure Sleeves Program improves flexibility and profitability
Visitors to the booth can also witness Stork Prints renowned gravure sleeves dedicated to the packaging industry. The gravure sleeves are popular due to their positive effect on handling, storage and transport savings.
At Drupa Stork Prints will have the exclusive premier of the brand new Gravure Sleeves Program. This program consists of light weighted sleeves and light weighted adapters. The completely reengineered gravure sleeves are based upon a one metal technology, direct engraveable nickel. The user-friendly nickel sleeve material is also a much less of a hazard for the environment, than for instance cupper plate with chrome.
Besides the current process of EME (electromechanical engraving), the engraveable nickel sleeves can also be engraved by Stork Prints' direct laser engraving systems. The laser technique engraves images onto sleeves in a fully digital, one-step process - simply engrave your desired design and the sleeve is ready to print. It eliminates costly products like film and time-consuming processes such as exposure, washing and drying. No chrome plating is needed, which saves handling and also contributes to the environmental protection. The sleeve is sustainable: after usage, the sleeve can be scrapped and the nickel can be re-used for new sleeve production.
The sleeves are light weighted -5 to 20 pounds-, that will simplify handling as compared to heavy cylinders. Sleeves will thus reduce the need for large stocks of cylinders. The sleeves are available in any repeat size from 12" to 42" and in printing widths up to 75".
The Program is completed with Stork Prints' adapters, being the bridge between mandrel and sleeve. This Gravure Sleeves Program will reduce the stock of cylinders and will even further decrease handling costs. Sleeves can be mounted in and outside the machine and will reduce set-up times dramatically.
This Gravure Sleeves Program will have positive effects on the flexibility and profitability in gravure printing.
Many advantages with direct laser engraving (digital pre-press)
At the Drupa we will also be justifying our position as technology leader in digital pre-press with direct laser engraving. This purely digital technique – engraving and rinsing are the only steps required - puts an end to time-consuming processes like exposure, washing and drying.
We will be showcasing - and demonstrating several times each day - two digital pre-press machines in Düsseldorf: the Helios and the rotaLEX.
The Helios, serves all dry offset as well as all label and narrow web applications. This direct laser engraving system allows flexo-sleeves, flexo-plates, dry offset, letterpress forms and screens to be imaged in a completely digital process.
The Stork Prints' Helios offers superior quality results, principally because much greater shaping control is achieved than possible by conventional exposure. Dot shoulders can be afforded extra support in localized areas, such as in highlights. The dot-shaping tool, Active 3D RIP, automatically programs smooth colour-density gradations, from 90 to 1%, allowing perfect half-tones. Undercuts – where localized dot plateaux are lower than surrounding areas – are possible, providing an ideal way to reduce dot-gain where fine print is needed.
The Helios is especially suited for the can printing industry, boosting plate making business to an exceptional high quality level. It allows printers to create stunning print results in metal decorating. High definition realistic images and ultra-fine lines and details give brand owners the freedom they want. The combination of solids and halftones in one single plate, saves
plate consumption, thus time and money.
Plenty of metal decorating samples will be on display. Demos for various Helios' pre-press applications will be given several times per day.
The rotaLEX, a compact and inexpensive desk-top unit which uses laser exposure to image RotaPlate screens held in position on a magnetic drum. The major benefits for the user are eliminating the many inherent drawbacks of using films and this leads to an increased quality in halftones and small writing. It is compatible with all available RotaPlate® screen specifications, from fine text to tactile applications. The rotaLEX saves time; rastering on the fly is possible, and design changes can be turned around faster. Meanwhile an integrated UV multi-beam optic system ensures increased speed and sharpness while maintaining total stability and perfect registration. It is also characterised by ease-of-use. Integrating it into an existing workflow is very straightforward, and the operating system is based on the universal familiarity of Windows.

I have been playing games since I was 11 and now, iam 26. After playing through different consoles, games, watching game-play, reading about games, and graphics. I would say The Last Of Us has the best graphics in gaming world since HD was braught. I have never seen an environment well detailed and it looks so impressive like The Last Of Us. Who would agree with me? Maybe Iam missing few points but I kept and kept watching the game-play of that game, and its just unbelievable. I wonder, what kind of engine Naughty Dog is using?

on a technical scale im sure many people would disagree.
that being said, no other game developer has used its tech to create a game of equal atmosphere. that much is certain.
12-05-2012 #4
On consoles, yes. Overall, no.
What I'm more excited about are the leaps and bounds they seem to be making with AI.

There are many aspects of graphics and it is true that overall Naughty Dog does not excel, but in certain areas I believe them to be the best at the moment. One example being their textures they use on both characters and environments.
12-05-2012 #8
The thing is, for me in particular. Ultra ultra realism is boring. Boring. The more stylised and visually interesting/different graphics are the better they look.
Oh wow you made graphics look like real life... thats cool but thats what real life looks like I see it every day...
That tech of course has its place but I don't wanna see it for every game.

As awesome as TLOU looks, I don't think it's graphically the most amazing thing since the advent of HD, perhaps on consoles. As Mr Shibby said it's in areas like AI that Naughty Dog are pioneering again...I think as a whole though, from what we have seen so far, it is looking like a game that will excel in all areas, but I'm not sure if it will be the apex.
They have a few months still though, and anyone who has had experience with ND betas will know that a whole new level of graphical polish and sheen is added to the final product and I have no doubt what so ever that TLOU will deliver.

The Last of Us is set in a post-apocalyptic environment so the realistic visuals make sense. It's a nice contrast to the Uncharted games where the strong colors added to the adventurous atmosphere. Most importantly, the visuals in The Last of Us are clean. There's no tacked-on dirty/wet camera lens effect, like a certain overhyped 'next-gen' engine.

Strongly agreed with me! Still haven't found a game that looks better IMO

It's hard to disagree...but I think there's a few games that I'd say are right at TLoU's level. Like...Uncharted 3 and maybe Beyond (haven't seen enough of the game).
And what about Crysis 2? Isn't Crytek supposed to be the holy grail of graffix or something?Last edited by Bio; 12-07-2012 at 02:21.

The Last of Us, Anime, Rosie Jones
No matter what race you are or what you look like or your sexuality or where you come from, We are all the same people and we are all bothers & sisters so love each other & don't let anyone tell you any different.
Remember you can't choose what you are from birth but you can choose what you want to become.
Just because you haven't seen them doesn't mean they are not there we all got to have something to believe in.

In its genre perhaps but not better than all games. For example I think Killzone 3 is still the best looking shooter when you consider everything thats going on onscreen at once while retaining high graphical fidelity and I love its gritty look (referring to SP campaign ). And Uncharted 3 is best looking adventure action game out there still. TLOU has great atmosphere and like Blacksite said it looks very clean and crisp. Also its still a ways off from release so it will look even better when its done. But thats why to just say best looking game ever is a sweeping statement especially with all the other great looking PS3 exclusives out there. The AI, interaction and atmosphere of TLOU are on a whole new level though.

High Quality Sound

This item was very difficult to set up. It three of us an hour to get it working.

Very Cool!
By Gadget Addict
from Bethesda MD
Very cool product! We live in a big house with several sound systems, but on occasion, we like to pipe music to the dining room, living room, guest rooms, and other parts of the house where the "boss" forbids permanent speakers. Although the setup is "easy," it's not intuitive -- you'll need the manual -- the speaker has worked like a charm throughout our entire house, even seemingly beyond the range of other devices on our wireless network! Sound quality is more than adequate for all but the most critical listening.
Just as advertised. Great product
By Dr. Dale
from Los Angeles, Ca.
We use this in our kitchen, and it is more than enough to fill the entire area with great sound. Inconspicuous.

Computer Cases
Let's face it, a good looking computer case can attract about as much attention to

Read More
Let's face it, a good looking computer case can attract about as much attention to
your computer as a body kit on a nice sports car can. Not only does a little research get
you a good looking case, but it can get you a case with a well thought out design which
can help with many other performance aspects of your system. There are two main
features that go into a good computer case; internal component placement and external
looks and body design.
Body design starts with the material that the case itself is manufactured from. You
can get a lot of decent looking cases for unbelievably low prices these days. The only
downside to these cases is the fact that they are typically made out of an aluminum frame
and aluminum side panels. If you're building a low-budget computer then these are
certainly a great way to go, don't get me wrong! However, for those wanting to build a
better quality computer or something more high-end, you will want to stay away from the
aluminum casing. Due to the thinness of aluminum it unfortunately does not make a good
insulator against sound. All the moving components inside your computer like hard
drives and lots of fans will be much easier to hear from the outside of an aluminum case.
This does not always make a relaxing computing environment to be subjected to these
annoying noises. Going to a steel case will not only give you a much sturdier design, it
will also give you with a much quieter case. The thickness of the steel will help to
dampen all those loud and annoying internal whines that come from a typical computer;
resulting in a more comfortable computing environment. Of course, the extra thickness
will also give you a much stronger case as well.
The appearance of your computer case will really be a personal decision that you
need to make. You can get a plain beige case or go for a more stylistic painted case,
perhaps even with a hi-gloss finish. A lot of gamers and modders are really into the cases
with plexi-glass or plastic windows on the side. These cases look sweet and will let you
show off the internals of your machine, and perhaps you'll even add a little lighting to the
inside for some special effects. Little do most people know, but a window can be really
beneficial for the day-to-day home user as well. Most people forget that the inside of a
computer can be a lot like the inside of a vacuum, with the fans sucking in any loose dirt
or dust around the case. All this builds up inside and can eventually lead to the fans on
critical components failing if they aren't kept clean. Keeping an eye on these fans and the
general cleanliness inside the case becomes something that's effortless if you just need to
look through a window as opposed to taking the sides off the computer case. A handy
accessory to consider to help combat the dirt issue is a fan filter. These attach to the front
of your case's fans and will help to filter out a lot of dust and dirt before it can enter the
case. However, don't forget to clean these because a clogged fan filter can completely
restrict air flow for your computer, where as a dirty fan may only lessen the airflow!
Another of those outside factors you'll want to be careful to watch out for is the
number of internal drive bays. Although most home users may only have a DVD burner
and possibly a card reader, more advanced computer users may have any number of
accessories and hardware pieces in these bays. Many cases still use the traditional style of
giving you so many 5.25" bays and usually one or two 3.5" bays on the front of the case.
However, a lot of case manufacturers are starting to make case designs where the front of
the case is entirely 5.25" drive bays with adapters that can be placed in to accommodate
3.5" devices. Being modular like this allows you to place not only hard drives and fans
where you'd like them, but you can also install a great number of components in all these
bays, even multi-bay components, without worrying about loosing room for critical
things like DVD burners. To keep these drive bays hidden, many cases these days will
have a door integrated into the front. If you're installing protruding devices in these bays,
like fan controllers, you'll want to make sure that there will be enough clearance between
the door and the front of the bay to accommodate any knobs or switches. Also, make sure
this door opens the right way for the desk you're sitting at! A lot of case doors only open
one way, typically left side hinge, and if your case is on the wrong side of you, you could
have a bit of a reach to access components. Some manufacturers have finally realized this
problem and are starting to make reversible door hinge systems.
Moving inside now, the first issue you'll want to tackle here is component
cooling. For most modern systems, a good intake and exhaust fan should be all you really
need, in addition to the power supply fan. I always recommend that these be 120mm fans
if possible. This will allow maximum airflow into and out of the case while maintaining a
much quieter operation than smaller fans. If you're building a top of the line system or
will be stressing your system a lot with over-clocking or extreme gaming, then you may
want to look into extra case fans as well. Some cases offer a fan in the side door located
near your PCI(e) slots and some will even have top exhaust fans to pull the extra heat
from the inside top of the case (being as heat rises).
Most moderately priced cases these days will have an almost entirely tool-free
internal design. This will allow you to mount your hard drives, 5.25" bay devices and
PCI(e) slot components without even having to pick up a screwdriver. As good as these
tool-free designs have gotten, you will still need to install the power supply and
motherboard using a little turn of the screwdriver.
Usually in the category of more expensive cases, you'll find a lot of manufacturers
toying around with heat flow in a case. Some cases are re-arranged inside, with the power
supply at the bottom and a hard drive rack beside it, often with a couple of fans to draw
heat out of this "chambered" area. The same goes above, with the CPU area sometimes
being a separate "chamber" of the case which is also cooled on its own, usually without
the heat of nearby hard drives and your power supply interfering.
Also, for those looking to spend a little more on a case, you'll find models like the
Silverstone KL-01, which features a built-in hot-swappable hard drive rack! There's also
the assortment of cases that cater to the media center designers. These cases typically
have a large VFD display built into them that works together with an included remote to
give you better control of your media in a living room setting. Looking for an even more
extreme media case? Some media center cases actually have a full 7"+ touch screen LCD
display integrated in the front of them! While on the topic, if you are one of those people
who's planning on building an HTPC (Home Theater PC) then you may want to look into
cases that are designed for that purpose. These cases are commonly the desktop style (flat
instead of vertical). This way they will fit nicely into a component rack with the rest of
your home theater equipment!
There you have it everyone, a new sense of insight into that steel box your
computer resides within! Next time you're out computer case shopping, remember some
of the things from this article and apply them. It won't only help you get the best you can
for your money but it will also leave you with a case you're happy with and that suites
your computer best for performance.

Been awhile since I posted here I see.
Anyhow some of you know what I am doing with my modeling room. I am transforming the dreary white walled square into something that could have been on Disney's Nautilus. You know all rivets, and Victorian touches and such. I am trying to keep it a working modeling space for most of the transition so that my boats will be ready for SubRegatta.
Its pretty early on but feel free to take a look. And leave a comment too.
Thanks, Squadees

Northeast Ohio nurtures bright minds, big ideas
Blog Entry:
February 01, 2013 4:30 AM | Author: BILL HAGSTRAND
William E. Hagstrand
William E. Hagstrand
serves as a Senior Consultant for NorTech and is responsible for driving engagement in cluster opportunities from inception to successful completion. This includes identifying and cultivating potential opportunities for participating organizations and recruiting organizations to the advanced energy cluster.
Many of the greatest products and services began as the smallest seedling of an idea. Somewhere along the way that seedling was cultivated by insight, inspiration and hard work allowing it to take shape and grow. Equally important to the success of growing an idea, however, is a community that offers support.
The robust support system that exists in Northeast Ohio includes universities, community colleges and other institutions of learning. I also believe the region's established businesses, entrepreneurs, economic development organizations, philanthropists and investors have a major hand in providing guidance. I think our region truly stands out for the level of support available.
An inspiring aspect of my work is that I get to witness, and help, with some of the initiatives that this community has undertaken to build solid, marketable products and companies.
An example is the talent development programs currently being initiated by
Lorain Community College
(LCC). The programs are designed to meet the impending workforce demands of high-tech clusters such as advanced energy and flexible electronics. When workforce demands for skilled workers are met, the capabilities of the region increase exponentially. LCC will work in collaboration with a consortium of educational and institutional partners including The University of Akron, Case Western Reserve University, Kent State University, Stark State College, Youngstown State University, Hard Hatted Women and the Ohio Energy Workforce Consortium.
Another cooperative initiative that I'd like to highlight is the
Ohio Clean Energy Challenge
, taking place Jan. 29th in Columbus. The event brings together 12 teams of Ohio student entrepreneurs, who believe they have developed marketable technologies that can change the way we consume energy. The involvement in this initiative from universities, economic development organizations and the business community is another illustration of the different community pillars coming together to offer guidance:
• Higher education institutions: Northeast Ohio's bright minds are well represented, with teams from Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland State University and Malone University.
• Entrepreneurs and business leaders: The competition's judges include entrepreneurial advisers from JumpStart and TechColumbus and business leaders from Ohio-based advanced energy start-ups.
• Economic development organizations: The competition sponsors are
and the
University Clean Energy Alliance of Ohio
A very valuable opportunity that I see with this competition, besides granting the winner award money and the chance to compete at the regional level, is that the students are learning to develop their ideas in the real world, and create marketable products and services rather than just hypothetical widgets in a theoretical world. These same students will go on to create the local companies that will grow and keep jobs in our area, effectively helping to quell the brain drain from Northeast Ohio.
Case in point, the winner of last year's Ohio competition,
Design Flux Technologies, LLC
, out of the University of Akron, went on to win a $100,000 grant through the Ohio Third Frontier Technology Validation and Startup Fund. Design Flux has commercialized an all-in-one battery management system and is actively preparing to enter the market.
The final piece of evidence that indicates the strength of our business support community is that many of the ideas that take root in Northeast Ohio turn into companies that choose to stay here. This embodies the true spirit and goal of economic development. It takes the collaboration from many parts of the community to achieve that goal.
