carolina-chuck 2013 Mock Draft v5.0
Posted 20 December 2012 - 08:44 AM
Okay, I was going to wait two more weeks to create this Mock after the season so I'll know for sure what spot we're going to land, but I just couldn't wait. There's no point for me to wait bc clearly we're going to be drafting Top15 and in position to drop out of the Top8. I see us putting on a show vs Oakland this Sunday and having a very good chance to beat NO the last week. Though it'll be hard to win down there in the Super Dome, so I have us with another mediocre "6-10" record. And Chico will still retain his HC duties for next season.
GM: fuggn Brandon Beane? I dont fuggn know, ask JR.
HC: Ron Chico Rivera
OC: Norv Turner
DC: Sean McDermott
Offseason Moves:
-Cut Dwill (I just think it'll be too hard to find a good trading partner who'll want to carry his contract), Nakamura, Ron Edwards, Hangman, and the amazingly talented Armanti Edwards
-Restructure Beason, Anderson, Gross, and Gamble's contracts.
2013 Off Season Addition(s):
Rivera will be in his 3rd season as the HC and he has to win now. Especially when he had a Franchise QB all these time. If Chico wants to win, he better add pieces to this team and it better be "quick". There will be a lot of cutting/restructing during the off-season, but there will also be a lot of bringing in better talents by FA and the Draft.
(FS) Patrick Chung 5'11" 210lbs, 25 yrs old
I know everyone want Jarius Byrd (so do I), but we're in a big cap problem already for next season. I just cant see us going after a player who's wanting big bucks. People are thinking that maybe Stew can try and lure his former teammate Byrd here. How about he goes out and lure the other former Oregon Ducks teammate in Patrick Chung. I'm not a big fan of Chung at all and he's pretty bad imo, but he's not Naka bad. Chung will be someone we could afford to bring in and I don't see NE bringing him back. Can you say upgrade?
(CB) Leodis McKelvin 5'10" 185lbs, 27 yrs old
This off-season group of CBs are pretty good. Antoine Cason could be someone who Rivera brings in, but same issue "money" is the problem. McKelvin may be the best out of this group of corners that will be have at the cheap. Buffalo has Aaron Williams a 2nd rounder last season and Stephon Gillmore (no.10 pick 2012), so I don't really see them bringing him back.
(1) Sheldon Richardson DT, Mizzou 6'3" 295lbs
(Im very upset that we're not going to land Star anymore and I'm going to quit mocking Star to us lol)
Though, Richardson's stock has quickly been on the rise recently and I just cant see his stock dropping anytime soon. Star, Joeckel, and possibly Hankins will all be gone by the time our pick come. Richardson may be the BPA at that point. He's an under-tackle and wont fill our need a NT, but again its a BPA pick. Dwan have been incredible this season but he is also 31.Also I think by taking Richardson, Dwan could then be move to play the NT position. We just really need talents at this point and Richardson would be a really nice pick for us toward the future. CJ, Dwan, Richardson, and Hardy would be a nightmare for offensive linemen every week.
(2) Justin Hunter WR, Tennessee 6'4" 200lbs
WOW!!!! A lot of yall are going to call me nuts, but Hunter is a guy who I can really see drop in the draft. We need WR help really bad and Hunter will be a great pick for Cam and this Offense. It seems like his stock have been taking a hit lately. Hunter and Woods are two guys that I think will be around in the 2nd. I see Patterson, Twill, Hopkins, and even maybe Austin all going ahead of Hunter at this point. We may also have to go with another receiver in 2014 just to be safe bc of Smitty's age.
(3) Pick to SF (Alexander pick)
(4) Alvin Bailey OG, Arkansas 6'5" 315lbs
We all know we need a RG badly and taking Bailey will defintetly fill that need. I think he could really be here in the 4th, which we can then cut ties with Hangman. Bailey has great size and quickness off the snap, but he could still refine his game a little more. I wish Khaled Holmes falls here so maybe we could convert him into a Guard LOL. I love Holmes.
(5) Joesph Fauria TE, UCLA 6'7" 255lbs
We're lacking a no.2 TE and Barnidge sucks so bad. Fauria has amazing size, is a good route runner, and possess decent hands. Though he's not the fastest TE you'll find, he can still create mismatch.
(6) Johnny Adams CB, Michigan State 5'11" 178lbs
We're thin in the secondary and I cant really trust our srubs (Thomas and Dockery; playing well) for next season. Munnerlyn is an upcoming FA and I dont really know what we're going to do with Gamble. He's been playing well the last two seasons, but he's injury prone and we have a lot of money tied up to him. I really hope we can restructure his contract.
(7) Pick to Oakland (Murphy trade)
(No kicker or punter bc I'm going to settle with Gano; I may be the only one who actally like him. And too early to part way with a 2nd year punter)
QB: Cam, ?
RB: Stewart, Poole, Smith
FB: Tolbert, Brockel
WR1: Smith, Lafell, Adams
WR2: Hunter, Gettis, Pilares
TE: Olsen, Fauria
LT: Gross, Campbell
LG: Amini
C: Kalil, Byers
RG: Bailey, Williams
RT: Bell
LE: Hardy, Alexander
DT: Richardson, Neblett
NT: Dwan, Kearse, Fua
RE: Johnson
SLB: TD, Anderson
MLB: Kuechly, Phillips
WLB: Beason
LCB: McKelvin, Norman
FS: Chung,
SS: Godfrey, Campbell
RCB: Gamble, Adams
Posted 20 December 2012 - 09:02 AM
Posted 20 December 2012 - 09:18 AM
I would pee my pants if all that happened. Dont think adams will drop to the 6th but who knows. People thought Munnerlyn would go in the 3rd when he came out so corners you never know.
Yea don't really know. It look like his stock have taken a hit recently though
But let's not pee so quick lol. Let's hope Beane isnt the new GM
Posted 20 December 2012 - 12:27 PM
I also like Patrick Chung in the right system I think he could be a solid FS.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 01:26 PM
Love your draft but I would rather sign a WR in FA,somebody like Dwayne Bowe because I don't see any #1 type WR in this draft.We need a guy who is proven and Bowe can be a #1 WR with Smitty taking pressure off him.
I also like Patrick Chung in the right system I think he could be a solid FS.
I have seen that the Chiefs weren't going to extend Bowe which will leave him as an URFA. Though the reason why I didn't have us signing Bowe is he'll want at least a Vjax contract which we won't be able to give him. Our best route is to take one in a draft which has plenty of receivers. Smith can still make an impact next season. We just need a young receiver who we can groom into that no.1 role for the future. I think Hunter can be that.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 01:40 PM
He'd have to really tank the combine and have an Alshon Jeffry type drop.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 01:46 PM
Posted 20 December 2012 - 01:54 PM
lmao Hunter in the second? Yeah right, if Hunter has a good combine he's a top 10 pick.
He'd have to really tank the combine and have an Alshon Jeffry type drop.
You never know whats going to happen. Keenan will definetly be the first WR off the board imo. After that it's anyone guess. Hunter came from an ACL last season and he hasnt really had a good year this season. He drops some balls at times. A lot of people can tell you that Patterson was the better receiver this season at UT. I can see Patterson off the board before Hunter. You can really say that if any of these receivers have a good combine that their stock will sky rocket. Patterson and Twill are two of those guys.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 02:01 PM
I like the FA signing of Leodis McKelvin. Not a very good corner but his return skills are just insane. 18.7 yards per return and 2 TDs on punts and 28.3 yards per return on kickoffs.
Yea, he never really lived up to his potential coming out of Troy. That's why I think he can be have at the cheap and still be an average corner for us. Like you said he's a great returner also. I'd like to see if Adams can take over the full time returning job but well see.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 02:03 PM
Posted 20 December 2012 - 02:07 PM
Just knowing some of those receivers will drop to the second round is good enough for me, and i dont trust any of the receivers in free agency this year, rather get a guy out the draft that can play with Cam for many years to come.
Exactly what I believe
Posted 20 December 2012 - 02:46 PM
Richardson is starting to get popular, but he reminds me of fletcher cox last year. If we're gonna go d-line I wanna nose tackle.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 02:53 PM
Mckelvin is the only thing I like, just because I don't see hunter falling. It's still early though, of I brought up some mocks from this time last year ya'll would laugh.
Richardson is starting to get popular, but he reminds me of fletcher cox last year. If we're gonna go d-line I wanna nose tackle.
Appreciate your kind FB related comments. Richardson does have some Cox and I think McCoy in him. Richardson will rise increasingly. Im with you on wanting a NT but drafting top15 is pretty much taking BPA. I just dont think Jesse Williams or a Jon Jenkins (NT) is worthy of being a top15.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 02:58 PM
I'm leaning towards receiver or corner though. Maybe o-line.
Posted 20 December 2012 - 03:04 PM
Williams stock is going to fly up boards after the combine like Poe last year. Williams isn't all combine numbers though, can actually play.
I'm leaning towards receiver or corner though. Maybe o-line.
Yea he have been rising as of lately but I just don't know if it'll get him into the top15. If we're going DT, I just don't think Rivera will fall in love with him over a Richardson.
I'm okay with a receiver or olineman, but if we could land a OG like an Alvin Bailey or Uzzie in the 4th I may rather go that route. Possibly even getting one through FA.

California Court Knocks Down School Nurse Lock-In on Insulin Shots
All we can say is whew! This week the California Supreme Court ruled that the law in that state doesn't mean that only school nurses are qualified to give insulin shots to students with diabetes. In a critical victory for the D-Community, the court says "trained, unlicensed school personnel" can also take on the task of administering insulin as long as both a doctor and parents give their OK.
We're incredibly relieved to hear…

Updated at 4:50 p.m.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — How serious are the Nationals about attempting to lure Cliff Lee to D.C.? Enough to meet in person with the pitcher's agent for the second time this week at the Winter Meetings.
General manager Mike Rizzo met with agent Darek Braunecker this afternoon at the Swan and Dolphin Resort, according to major-league sources familiar with the meeting.
Rizzo, while confirming his strong interest in acquiring Lee, doesn't sound particular confident he'll actually land the prized left-hander.
"I still think we're a real long shot to acquire the player," he said.
It's not known if the Nationals have made a formal offer yet for Lee, who is seeking a mammoth contract that could reach seven years. The Nationals, according to multiple club sources, are adamant that they won't make a seven-year offer to the 32-year-old Lee.
The Nationals, though, haven't disguised their legitimate interest in Lee, far and away the top pitcher on the market. And they've shown a willingness in the past to outbid other clubs for top-tier free agents,Read more »

Roll the dice, Uncle Teddy, roll the dice. C'mon, you can raise rents at Reston Town Center to cover the cost of this deal. Lucky seven, Uncle Teddy, lucky seven. Oh, wait. Would someone please bring the smelling salts for Uncle Teddy. He's just read the fine print on the Jayson Werth deal.

If Uncle Teddy owns parts of Reston that is CIA. He is bankrolled by the Intelligence community. They're rolling in dough.You can always subcontract Mike Rizzo as a part-time consultant to them. Seems like they could use the help.

I think the Yanks actually have some limitation this year as they also really want Crawford. Nats will outbid everyone again. Big question, does Lee buy into the Nats as the second coming of the Braves in the 90's…Also, sign Laroche too and let the Yanks get Crawford and trade for the then expendable Brett Gardner for cf/leadoff. Better yet, package Willingham, Clippard, Desmond for Jacoby Ellsbury.

"Source: 3 year/$21 million deal to bring Woodrow Wilson to Nats Presidents Race. Rizzo shopping Thomas Jefferson to Pirates, Brewers."I heard that Lerner was actually trying to land Millard Filmore, but doesn't want to go seven years, which is what Filmore's agent is looking for.
- N. Cognito - Dec 7, 2010 at 9:19 PM
Lerner's also not gonna go for Franklin Roosevelt either. A 16 year contract is just too long, expecially since he's hiding an injury and probably won't last more than about 12 years.

If you're gonna upgrade the President's Race, you can't go with Wilson, who had a stroke, or FDR, who covers his injuries. Fast forward to the seventies and pick up Ford on the cheap in Rule 5 draft this week, as he was unprotected by Detroit. He falls down, Teddy wins, which attracts national attention, the obvious Chevy Chase tie-in, then you flip him midseason to Arizona, who will need to be upgrading their "Legends" Race soon.I'm glad we're talking to Lee but don't expect we will get him. But salaries have a ratchet effect, just as real estate prices exhibit. If what you really want to do is trade for Greinke, you want Lee ro get a huge deal, so that KC is more inclined to trade him. Plus a hyge Lee contract somewhat takes the Yankees out of the Greinke sweepstakes. There is no doubt in my mind that the Yankees and their fans covet Lee so much that they have little choice but to sign him now. Ditto for Crawford.

Don't move Desmond unless you can get a TOR pitcher in the deal.And the Yankees won't sign Crawford unless they lose out on Lee, and possibly not even then. They get a lot of production out of their outfield right now, for very little money invested. If Lee signs elsewhere then they might push for Crawford and then include Gardner in a package for Greinke. But now? It makes no sense.John C.

An Introduction to the History of International Human Rights LawDinah L. SheltonGeorge Washington University - Law School August 2007 GWU Legal Studies Research Paper No. 346 GWU Law School Public Law Research Paper No. 346 Abstract: As part of a lecture series given at the International Institute of Human Rights, in Strasbourg, France, in July 2003, the author presents an overview of the history of international human rights law. The author explores numerous religious, political, cultural, philosophical, economic and intellectual movements throughout history that have informed and guided the development of human rights law on the global stage. In doing so, the author examines the moral and ethical dimensions which underpin international human rights law, including what she defines as the innate human desire for protection from abuse. The author highlights the world's most significant historical events and people who have influenced modern concepts of human rights law. Despite the many successes of the human rights movement, the author draws attention to international institutions established to protect human rights, which are often too weak to address many contemporary human rights violations and atrocities occurring in failed states or at the hands of non-state actors. As this area of international law continues to develop, these shortcomings must be addressed if human rights progress is to continue.

Missing cat found 6 days after Indy blast
'Gidget' found behind couch by federal investigator
UPDATED 10:47 AM EST Nov 19, 2012
A missing cat was found among the ruins six days after a deadly home explosion in Indianapolis.
The black cat named Gidget had been missing since the Nov. 10 blast that killed two people and destroyed five homes, Indianapolis TV station WRTV reported.
A federal investigator found Gidget behind a couch in the home of her owners, Glenn and Gloria Olvey.
She was scared but otherwise OK, according to The Associated Press.
The Olveys had already recovered their other three pets from the wreckage.
They lived next door to the home that is believed to be the origin of the blast, the AP reported.

Should've listened to other reviews...
I ordered this in navy but ended up returning it. I loved the color and material but the other reviews are right. Runs small and was already snagged when I received it. At the time I ordered it, I thought I could look past those things since I got such a good price. Thought I would just order a bigger size and be careful when washing but after seeing it in person, I wouldn't recommend this sweater.
May 29, 2013
Love the concept
I really loved the look and feel when I pulled this out of the package but it snags super easy and frays a lot! Love the color feel and fit but the first time wearing it changes all of that! Although I will still wear for awhile
March 15, 2013
Love the Style
ST is fast becoming one of my favorite lines because I tend to favor and collect many of the designs. I purchased this sweater in the navy (the new black) because of its style and color. I love that it can be paired with black and worn as a cardigan well into the Spring. I feel that it runs a bit small and snags, easily, but sales and special promos make it worth purchasing.
March 14, 2013
Pretty sweater but very short, not good for
long torso gals. Light weight, beautiful color sheen. Returning just because of length only. I would also say it runs small all around.
December 13, 2012
beautiful sweater, but...
This sweater fits wonderfully: very clingy and soft and flatteringly slimming. But it snags super easily and then looks frayed and fuzzy in that spot. It's so beautiful that I will wear it anyway. I'm afraid it wont last long, but I love it all the same.
December 12, 2012
One Is Not Enough
I initially ordered this cardigan on-line because of the color (I needed something navy blue). When I finally received my package, I was pleasantly surprised by the soft, slinky texture. It is extremely lightweight, but not cheap at all. A great cover-up that doesn't detract from the main outfit. I only wish they made it in black, too.
December 9, 2012
Misleading online pictures....
I bought this cardigan for the beautiful bow that is shown in all of the online pictures. Unfortunately, the bow is part of the dress that is worn underneath of the cardigan(which "The Limited" no longer sells), not the cardigan. The online description does not inform the buyer of this detail, and "the bow" is shown with all of the different colors of the cardigan, making one think it is part of the actual cardigan. The cardigan is well made and fits nicely. One can easily be mislead by the online pictures if you want the specific look of the bow.
December 7, 2012
Beautiful knit....but fit issues
This is such a soft sweater and a gorgeous knit! However, it snags easily and when it buttons up, the space between the buttons gaps. I think this kind of sweater needed more buttons.

Belly up: FRC hatchery suffers mass die-off
Linda SatchwellFeather River College's fish hatchery is the latest victim of budget woes, with a staff stretched to capacity and then some. When the word got out that hatchery manager Zach Parks had lost 49,900 of his recent delivery of 50,000 Department of Fish and Game fingerling (6-inch) trout, and had also lost four out of seven 15- to 20-year-old sturgeon, rumors started flying, and fingers started pointing.
Parks, in his six years running the hatchery, has turned it from a small "learning lab" into a "production level hatchery" that contracts with DFG to raise its fish, and does it all through grants and other self-funding measures said FRC president Dr. Ron Taylor.
At the end of August, Parks took delivery of the 50,000 DFG fish after putting Fish and Game off as long as possible.
He was still waiting for the maintenance crew to finish installation of a new, completely automated, self-regulating recycle system composed of tanks, a filtration system, an oxygen system, a water sterilization system and a dechlorination system.
It was all hooked up, he said, but the components weren't calibrated correctly and they weren't communicating properly. Parks had been asking maintenance to complete the job since December 2009.
The maintenance crew experienced losses through death and retirement. Then came the hiring freeze. After that, FRC took over the fitness center and the dorms, both in poor shape and needing a lot of work.
When Taylor sat down with Facilities Director Nick Boyd and Parks, he discovered each thought the other was getting back to the "experts" to learn how to balance the system.
First, when DFG brought the load of fish, it emptied them into the outdoor ponds, where Parks hoped to keep them since the new system wasn't complete. But, a 10-inch diameter pipe dumping 50,000 fish, caused the silt on the bottom to roil to such a degree that it became "turbid and cloudy," seriously affected the oxygen levels, and made it hard for the fish to breathe.
Parks turned on the aerator to the ponds and it failed.
In past years, there was a stream with enough spring water to feed the ponds.
In recent years, it has stopped flowing, and Parks has used artesian well water instead.
A contractor turned off the artesian well, which fed fresh, oxygenated, cold water to the ponds. Trout are especially sensitive to warmer, lower oxygen water.
When they started leaping out of the ponds by the hundreds, Parks knew something was seriously wrong, and he moved them to the tanks, determined to monitor chlorine levels by hand.
Several unique conditions caused chlorine levels to be different than Parks expected. He calculated the "dosing rate" of the dechlorinating agent and measured chlorine rates, which fluctuate constantly.
What Parks thinks happened — though he has no way to measure levels of the dechlorinating agent — is that there was less chlorine in the line, since students had just arrived and were using lots of water. That caused residual chlorine to be flushed from the pipes.
Parks believes less of the dechlorinating agent was used up by the chlorine. As a result, residual amounts built up. He not only couldn't measure it, he also didn't know it could have a residual effect — it had never been a problem in the past.
Parks believes the dechlorination overdose agent caused a severe drop in pH and ultimately killed the fish. Because they'd been moved twice in quick succession, the fish were already severely stressed and weakened.
The tragedy was personal for Parks, "The sturgeon really made me sick that they died," and losing nearly all of the fish that DFG had entrusted to him "felt like a kick in the groin."
Parks wanted FRC to know the hatchery is an important part of the campus. He would like, finally, to have a budget and not have to rely on grants. He'd like, perhaps most of all, for the college to understand that he has about 20 minutes to fix a problem when it occurs before his fish start to die.
One of the results of this tragedy is that at least some of Parks' wishes might come true. Taylor was unaware of the problem until he received an e-mail that mentioned the loss of fish. He didn't know about the maintenance problems. He has been quite aware of operations at the hatchery and just assumed others knew its value as well.
Taylor said that while some things seemed to converge to cause disaster, there are things he can change to ensure a situation like this doesn't happen in the future: faulty equipment issue, better communication between departments and water source problems.
He understands now the need for "split second" response to hatchery problems. "It's caused us to think long term ... to problem solve, and that will take awhile."
As for a budget, Taylor acknowledges Parks has "done a good thing being so creative." Longer term, Taylor will consider this possibility. In the short term, with the college asking the county for a nearly $5 million advance on taxes, it's not possible.
Looking at the larger picture in trying times, Taylor said, it's vital to understand the urgency of any request. "If you don't know what the consequences might be, when you're getting stretched from all sides, you have to make decisions based on what you know."
Speaking directly to the failure in this particular situation, he said the loss involved both "loss of life in fish, and loss to a facility that's a special, unique operation, and very important to us."
Parks will now begin to find another source of fish — either from private vendors or from the DFG, though he's unsure how the debacle will affect that relationship.

Rooks State Fishing Lake
Stockton, KS
Manager: Michael Zajic
Fish Biologist: Mark Shaw
Webster Area Office
1140 10 Road
Stockton, Ks. 67669
Phone: (785) 425-6775
The Area islocated 2 1/2 miles South and 2 miles West of Stockton, KS.
Google Earth of the entire area is available:
Rooks State Fishing Lake is located 2 1/2 miles south and 2 miles west miles of Stockton. The property is managed by Ks. Department of Wildlife and Parks and comprises 67 acres of water and 246 acres of land. The lake dates back to 1934, when it was built by the Works Progress Administration and the State Forestry, Fish, and Game Commission.
The lake periodically goes dry due to irregular inflows. When the lake is dry, portions of the area are closed to minimize maintenance costs. A camping area located by the boat ramp and toilet remains open for use.
The lake is open year round, except during dry periods, for fishing with a portion of the area closed from Nov. 1 to Mar. 1 to hunting and vehicles to enhance wildlife related opportunities and reduce litter and vandalism that have historically occurred during periods of low use. Alcoholic and cereal malt beverages are not allowed on the area.
The fishery is managed to facilitate the fluctuating lake level. Bluegill, channel catfish, largemouth bass and redear sunfish are stocked each time the lake fills. The fish then grow fast in the nutrient rich water providing good fishing opportunities for the remainder of each lake life span.
Motorized boats are allowed on the lake for fishing activities only. The lake is small, so a no wake speed is recommended. A concrete boat ramp and floating dock are located in the northeast corner of the lake. Be aware of flooded vegetation due to water level fluctuation.
A diversity of both game and non-game species can be found, but due to the small size of the area, their numbers are relatively low.
Consequently, hunting opportunities are limited since wildlife is either quickly harvested or driven off the area. Some sporadic good hunts are possible as wildlife moves on and off the area.
Both whitetail and mule deer are present, but populations are low. A few turkeys can also be found on the area long the riparian zone. Upland game birds present on the area include pheasant and quail.
Other wildlife that utilizes the area includes coyotes, badgers, mink, rodents, raptors, song birds, waterfowl, and shore birds as well as a variety of amphibians and reptiles native to the region.
Camping is allowed in the four designated camping areas along the east shoreline of the lake. A vault toilet is located near the boat ramp. A walk way facilitates access from the shelter house to the toilet.
Picnic tables are located in the campgrounds around the lake. One group shelter is available.
- An information shelter is located near the boat ramp providing current information and regulations
- A no trash policy is in effect, so please pack home everything you pack in.
- Vehicles are only allowed on maintained roads and parking lots.
- No alcoholic or cereal malt beverages allowed.
Turn in polluters, poachers, unsafe boaters, and public land vandals.

Macy's makes Mother's Day a social event
The retailer, which is one of three finalists in the Internet Retailer Excellence Awards' Marketer of the Year category, is donating $3 for every ...
Retailers by now know big data is a big deal, but its definition remains murky.
Here at Internet Retailer we see plenty of e-commerce jargon and marketing talk cross our PC monitors, but some buzzwords prove harder to translate than others. Big data is one of those. Everyone has heard of it, but not many believe they can define it—and those who do often disagree with each other on what it means.
At Wikibon, a professional online community of technologists from many industries, a manifesto about big data includes this definition:
"Underlying every business analytics practice is data. Traditionally, this means structured data created and stored by enterprises themselves, such as customer data housed in CRM applications, operational data stored in ERP systems or financial data tallied in accounting databases. But the volume and type of data now available to enterprises — and the need to analyze it in near-real time for maximum business value — is growing rapidly thanks to the popularity of social media and networking services like Facebook and Twitter, data-generating censored and networked devices, both machine- and human-generated online transactions, and other sources of unstructured and semi-structured data. We call this Big Data."
The volume of this data, the text continues, is on the scale of petabytes and exabytes (2^50 bytes and 2^60 bytes, respectively) rather than yesteryear's gigabytes and terabytes (2^30 bytes and 2^40 bytes). One byte is a unit of computer information that consists of eight bits, zeros and ones that together make a binary string, which can thus encode one of 2^8, or 256, different pieces of data, such as a letter or number.
Retailers and even the vendors who help manage and analyze their data for targeted marketing, among other things, might not be so precise about the exact volume. But everyone is aware of the massive amounts of information produced by online behavior tracking, opt-in profiles at e-retail sites and social conversations—not to mention behind-the-scenes information around hardware, such as tracking hits to a particular server or monitoring global web traffic.
Therefore, we can all likely agree that big data in part refers to retailers having more data than they know what to do with. Even in the days of cataloging, retailers had access to tomes of information about their customers that informed their marketing campaigns. What seems to have changed is the approach. Today's businesses are using tools and techniques originally developed by large online networks for solving problems on a large scale—accessing small sets of data from many sources quickly and processing it at the same time to produce near-instant responses: think Facebook's news feed, which gathers stories from many sources in its network, and then produces a small sample of those stories in response to a user's Likes and preferences.
Richard Vermillion, CEO of analytics and marketing technology company Fulcrum, says big data does not necessarily imply a particular volume of data but a particular type, one that requires certain tools to cope with, like parallel processing systems or map-reducing algorithms. For example, he says, a retailer with three million customers who wants to optimize 50 different offers for them must deal with 3,000,000 x 50 pieces of data—a much taller order than posed by examining either the customers or the offers alone. "It actually might be small data, but the problem that you're trying to solve blows it up to make it big," he says.
Probably, the definition of big data lies somewhere in the murkiness between the enormous volumes of data that a business captures and the more enormous volumes of data generated in their subsequent analyses, which in turn require special tricks and tools.
Probably, the definition is not so important in the end.
What is important is that retailers are prepared to tackle the onslaught—consumers demand more personalization, relevancy and engagement from them every day, and, short of omniscience, that takes some number crunching.
As the Wikibon manifesto puts it:
"Make no mistake: Big Data is the new definitive source of competitive advantage across all industries. Enterprises and technology vendors that dismiss Big Data as a passing fad do so at their peril and, in our opinion, will soon find themselves struggling to keep up with more forward-thinking rivals."
For those organizations that understand and embrace the new reality of Big Data, the possibilities for new innovation, improved agility, and increased profitability are nearly endless."
Nearly endless possibilities for profit? Sounds to me like what in earlier decades may have helped describe another elusive buzzword: Internet retail.
Now, as before, it's all a matter of not what a retailer has, but what it does with it. And what retailers have is data—growing, compounding, nearly endless, possibility-rich data.
Lamoda, an online fashion retailer backed by Germany's Rocket Internet, began selling in the Ukraine ...
The potential for wearable fashion is endless and exciting. But brands promoting these web-connected wearables ...
A specialist in helping online retailers upgrade their e-commerce software, has a surprising word of ...
AliExpress, the Alibaba service that lets consumers around the world buy from Chinese retailers, is ...
If there's something you've bought offline that you weren't able to buy online, we're probably thinking about that.

Revised Children's Online Privacy Protection Rule Now In Effect
Wednesday, July 3rd, 2013The Federal Trade Commission's revised Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) Rule took effect on July 1st. COPPA gives parents greater control over the online collection of their children's personal information. The revised COPPA rule is the result of more than two years of review by the agency to modernize the rule.
The revised COPPA rule addresses new ways in which children use and access the Internet, including the use of mobile devices and social networking. The modified COPPA rule, approved by the Commission in December 2012, broadens the definition of children's personal information to include persistent identifiers such as cookies that track a child's activity online, as well as geolocation information, photos, videos, and audio recordings.
COPPA was mandated when Congress passed the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act of 1998. COPPA requires that operators of websites or online services that are either directed to children under 13 or have actual knowledge that they are collecting personal information from children under 13 give notice to parents and get their verifiable consent before collecting, using, or disclosing such personal information, and keep secure the information they collect from children.
The FTC has also continued five "safe harbor" programs, whose guidelines now reflect the updated rule. Under COPPA, "safe harbor" status permits certain organizations to create comprehensive self-compliance programs for their members. Companies that participate in a COPPA safe harbor program are generally subject to the review and disciplinary procedures provided in the safe harbor's guidelines in lieu of formal FTC investigation and law enforcement. COPPA safe harbor programs are offered by Aristotle International, Inc., the Children's Advertising Review Unit of the Council of Better Business Bureaus, ESRB Privacy Online, PRIVO and TRUSTe.
The FTC has updated a guide for parents, "Protecting Your Child's Privacy Online," that explains what COPPA is, how it works and what parents can do to help protect their children's privacy online.

Worth the Money - Soft & Comfortable The item is just as it is pictured. The khaki is a border between the colors and the grey in the picture is in fact grey. There are stitches throughout the comforter that hold it together, but gives it a classic look. It worked perfectly in my son's room who isn't a baby anymore but needed a not so mature set. Many reviews say that it's a silky texture, but it is more a cotton smooth. Very comfortable and soft. The pillow shams have a silky inner. The decorative pillow is adorable, seems to be a little "over" stuffed, but love it too!

Nice Comforter! I really love this comforter and I'm so glad that I chose to buy it. The comforter is good quality, to make the bed look fluffy like the picture I chose to add a duvet. My son is very nonchalant about how I decorate his room, but he was absolutely amazed how is room transformed when I changed his bedding. I feel like this would be a good buy for anyone.

Great for kid! Got this set for my teenaged son. He really liked the colors & simple design. Beware that fabric has the look & feel of thin "rip-stop" fabric - a little shiny & slippery. It is soft & comfortable, but probably won't hold-up for too long. He will be off to college by then so I won't feel bad replacing it. Nice that it has matching pillow.

FINANCIAL SERVICES GUEST BLOG -- ROBERT GIALAMAS Has your state made the naughty or nice list?By ROBERT GIALAMAS 4:30 am, December 10, 2012
Now that the election is over and we are in the thick of the holiday season, we only need a snowstorm to really put us in the festive spirit. (Why do I believe that some of you are swearing at me right now?) Regardless of the holiday cheer we may have, there is a different kind of storm brewing on the horizon which all employers need to be prepared to weather. As I'm sure you are aware, it is a major tax storm. One of the earliest waves of this storm comes in the form of additional FUTA tax owed by employers in 2012.

My Blog

My BlogHello folks.
For years I've always used the Gallery section on the AN Forums to share artwork I was coming up with. Lately, I've been more productive and as such if I were to start posting everything I'm coming up with I'd be hogging the Gallery. So it's time to get my own art blog up and running, and that's what I've done. Here's the url... http://zembillas.blogspot.com/ This is a long time coming and the time is right to start getting the massive amount of content I've got accumulated out there,. along with the new stuff I'm doing. It's a daily blog. In fact, I could probably post several images a day for the rest of my natural life and still have plenty left over from what's in storage and what's in store. A lot of it has historical value and has never need published and hardly even seen. I'll be reposting some things I've featured on the forums before, with a lot of other stuff from now and then. Please feel free to visit. Your comments, company and community are welcome, and comments are respectfully moderated. Looking forward to this new experience, and thank you friends for your views and reception to my work all this time on the Gallery. I'll still be around creatively and will be posting daily on the personal art blog. Keep Creating! http://zembillas.blogspot.com/
Re: My BlogIt's coming up on a week now since I've started working on my first personal art blog. I've got something of a small following. That's a start!
This has been a good experience and it's helping to fuel the creative fire I've been feeling ever since I moved my school to a dedicated classroom this past January. I've got a lot of art that I'm generating each day, adding to the eventual content of what this is about. Working on the blog is making me create even more, on top of what I'm doing in class when teaching. Thought I'd give friends here a look at some of what I'm doing now. I did these last night just hanging out. Drawing raw into Photoshop with a cheap graphics tablet and adding color. You can see what I've got going so far at http://www.Zembillas.blogspot.com. It's a daily blog.
Re: My BlogI don't know why I waited so long to get around to this. I think with all the distractions of running your own business, teaching large groups of students, dealing with AN along with one's personal life, it's easy to get sidetracked from your own art.
Maintaining a creative blog is very healthy and it also motivates me to produce more. Here's what I came up with last night after class drawing in Photoshop which I've just uploaded to my art blog, which is updated daily.
Re: My BlogHi Charles,
I enjoy your character designs and drawings a lot. Nice that you are putting them all in a blog now. This drawing of the 'Heartbreak Man' is a cracker!
Re: My BlogThank you LongyTV.
I'm enjoying this blog a great deal. It's giving me an opportunity to showcase and share artwork I've had sitting around for years. It's also inspiring me to create more. http://www.zembillas.blogspot.com Case in point, here's a design I did for a project I was working on way back in 1985. It was a Greek mythology project and I have quite a bit of work from it that's never been shown. After all these years I've finally gotten around to coloring the line work for this composition and then I added the name of Greece to the picture. I did this in Photoshop over the weekend. There's more work that I'm publishing every day. Some of it new and more recent stuff, some of it older art that's never been seen before and which has some historical significance. I've been maintaining my first personal art blog on a daily basis for three weeks now. I enjoy it a lot and I've got a following that's starting to develop on top of it. There's lots more content on the way.
Re: My BlogLoving the drawing of the 'Greek Guy'. You are very good at Human Anatomy. I used to learn Anatomy from the books of George Bridgeman and Burn Hogarth. Great Artists both! However I like to develop Cartoony Characters, but Bridgeman and Hogarth are my Go To Guys, whenever I am called upon to draw realistic humans.
Re: My Blog
Awesome. Simply awesome.
Re: My BlogThanks!
I'm starting to get some pretty good traffic there. Maintaining a personal art blog is a lot of fun. Wish I would've started on it a long time ago. That's okay cuz it's all good! It's also giving me added incentive to... Keep Creating! Mixing up old stuff with newer stuff with Crash Bandicoot and my emerging community seems appreciative. http://www.zembillas.blogspot.com
Re: My BlogIs that an individual dragon, or a three headed dragon?
Re: My BlogIt could go either way but at the time I did it I was thinking 3 individual dragons.
Here's the latest entry. Some doodles from last night's class...
Re: My BlogThese are very good, especially everyone after the heftier looking guy on the left.
Re: My BlogThanks for your comment.
My blog has been going well. This coming weekend will mark two months and I haven't missed a day of content so far. There's an emerging community forming up over there and it's mostly coming from Crash Bandicoot fans. So I mix it up with old and new stuff as well as Crash art both old and new. www.zembillas.blogspot.com Here's the latest. Something I found interesting and validating. In 2008 I painted this composition in Photoshop for practice and posted the image in the AN Gallery. Superman flying straight up so fast he displaces the atmosphere and breaks the sound barrier. Compare to 1:10 of this video. The trailer for Man of Steel coming June 2013.
Re: My BlogIt's a little ironic that this happened.
TV Tropes is probably gonna read about your picture being similar to that scene and put it under "Hilarious in Hindsight".
Re: My BlogThat would be cool to see. Similarities are pretty darn amazing if I do say so myself.
The past couple of days have been really significant on my blog as traffic took a big jump forward. I've had some good days over the past two months with a gradually increasing number of daily visitors. Yesterday it shot up to a level comparable to the traffic that AN's homepage would get. Looks like it's the Crash Bandicoot community that's discovering my blog in ever increasing numbers and there's also an emerging element of Jak and Daxter fans that's a factor. I'm learning a lot from this as I'm seeing where my fan base is.
Re: My BlogI just followed your blog, great stuff!
Re: My BlogMy art blog is working out great. Two and a half months into it and I haven't missed a day's entry. Getting really good traffic too. Lots of Crash Bandicoot fans showing up. I keep them in mind and frequently feature art I've done from the game and other things too. Here's what I came up with this week on Thursday during the Visual Development class I teach at my school The Animation Academy.
Thanks for checking out my blog. It's good to be creating all the time again. http://www.zembillas.blogspot.com
Re: My BlogNice art you're putting out as usual.
Re: My BlogThank you. Here's something I added recently. Completed the drawings last week as part of the class assignment I gave myself. It's an illustrated character rotation where each pose is rendered. Clicking on the image will give you a better view. Here's the link to the blog article that features each drawing.
Re: My BlogWow! Sweet character design. Keep it up, Charles!

We haven't seen Miley Cyrus singing on stage in a while. But the star rocked out Saturday night during Borgore's "Christmas Creampies" concert at the Fonda Theatre in Hollywood.
And Miley's outfit is, as always, causing a stir - from her cutout breast-baring top to her "S&M-themed chain" linking her tight zippered pants to her neck.
Don't forget the spotted boots!
She joined Israeli electronica DJ Borgore, who told Rolling Stone right before the show that he "really wanted her here, really." He said having "another person on the mic" helps it go "extremely well."
During the show, Miley worked it right alongside topless strippers in g-strings. (Hmm... Did that help the show go well, too?)

You were in the hospital for spine surgery. You probably had a problem with one or more disk, a cushion that separates the bones in your spine (vertebrae).
You may have had one of these surgeries:
Recovery after microdiskectomy (diskectomy) is usually fairly quick.
After diskectomy or foraminotomy, you may still feel pain, numbness, or weakness along the path of the nerve that was under pressure. These symptoms should get better in a few weeks.
Recovery after laminectomy and fusion surgery is longer. You will not be able to return to activities as quickly. It takes at least 3 to 4 months after surgery for bones to heal well, and healing may continue to happen for at least a year.
If you had spinal fusion, you will probably be off work for 4 to 6 weeks if you are young and healthy and your job is not very strenuous. It may take 4 to 6 months for older patients with more extensive surgery to get back to work.
The length of recovery will also depend on how bad your condition was before surgery.
You will need to change how you do some things. Try not to sit for longer than 20 or 30 minutes at one time. Sleep in any position that does not cause back pain. Your doctor will tell you when you may become sexually active.
You may be fitted for a back brace or corset to help support your back:
Do not to bend at the waist. Instead, bend your knees and squat down to pick up something. Do not lift or carry anything heavier than around 10 pounds (nothing heavier than a milk carton). This means you should not lift a laundry basket, grocery bags, or small children. You should also avoid lifting something above your head until your fusion heals.
Take only short walks for the first 2 weeks after surgery.
Your doctor may or may not send you for some physical therapy after you leave hospital. You will need to learn how to move and do activities in a way that prevents pain and keeps your back in a safe position. These are:
You will also learn certain exercises that help make muscles in your back stronger, and keep your back safe and stable.
Your doctor and physical therapist can help you decide whether or when you can return to your previous job.
Riding or driving in a car:
Your bandages (Steri-strips) will fall off within 7 to 10 days. If not, you may remove them yourself after this time.
You may feel numbness or pain around your incision, and it may look a little red. Check it every day to see if it:
Keep the incision dry for first 5 to 7 days. When you begin showering again, cover the incision with plastic wrap. Do not allow water from the shower head to beat down on the incision. The first time you shower, have someone there to help you. Make sure you check with your surgeon about when you can shower.
Do not smoke or use tobacco products after spine surgery. Avoiding tobacco is even more important if you had a fusion or graft.
Overall, make sure your bathroom is safe.
Your doctor will give you a prescription for pain medicines. Get it filled when you go home so you have it available. If the pain is becoming worse, take your pain medicine to help before the pain becomes very bad.
During the early recovery period, consider taking pain medicine about a half an hour before you are going to increase your activity.

Mobile commerce isn't always necessarily about buying
Retailers far too often think of mobile commerce narrowly. In my view the "commerce" in the mobile realm is a broad term that doesn't necessarily include making a purchase.
Consumers are finally warming to surfing the web on a mobile device and that means visiting m-commerce sites (Hurray!). But a good portion aren't ready to make considered purchases yet from their phones. That means it's just as important for mobile retailers to design their sites for the window shoppers who may later head home to their PCs to buy as for the mobile shoppers comfortable purchasing from their smartphones.
Web only retailer Music Factory Direct is one merchant with the right mobile frame of mind. In designing its mobile site last year, it made mobile wish lists a top priority so that shoppers who may not want to shell out $1,500 for a Gibson Les Paul guitar can save their favorite model and access it from a PC at home.
Early research is showing shoppers are using Music Factory Direct's mobile site to browse—a lot. The total number of page views per shopper on the mobile site is 22% higher than on the e-commerce site, the retailer says, and the bounce rate for the mobile site is 10% less than its e-commerce site. A bounce is a visitor arriving at a web site and leaving after only one page view.
Toolfetch also is thinking in broader mobile terms than just buying. In fact, the retailer has yet to add purchasing capabilities to its mobile site. While those are coming soon, the retailer first focused on adding features specifically for the mobile consumer who is on the go—perhaps even standing in a competitor's store.
Toolfetch recently enabled consumers to chat live with a ToolFetch.com associate via its mobile site. "This is very useful if a customer is at a big box store and wants to double-check stock and pricing with a ToolFetch.com agent before purchasing from us," Andrew Brown, co-founder and CEO of Toolfetch.com says.
And, while it may seem obvious, the mobile realm is a perfect spot to display the time-saving features you've worked so hard to develop for your e-commerce site. Mobile shoppers are often in a hurry and in an awkward place such as crammed between two strangers on the subway. So be sure to add features such as access to stored shipping and billing information or one-click reordering to your mobile site as well. You can cut in other areas such as blogs, forums or how-to-guides, but don't leave out features that make shopping faster and easier. Those are important in e-commerce and they are critical in m-commerce.
