The Global Outdoor Wi-Fi Market Revenue is Forecast to Reach $37.2 Billion in 2018 from $15.41 Billion in 2013
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) Dublin - Research and Markets (
) has announced the addition of the "Outdoor Wi-Fi Market: Global Advancements, Business Models, Worldwide Market Forecasts and Analysis 2013 - 2018" report to their offering.
Deploying Wi-Fi outdoors and providing an uninterrupted service for entire cities has also been a popular trend in recent years. By 2016, 45% of designated Wi-Fi access points are estimated to be for outdoor purposes along with the deployment of Next Generation Hotspots (Hotspot2). Such figures highlight outdoor Wi-Fi as a lucrative market in the near future.
'Outdoor Wi-Fi Market: Global Advancements, Business Models, Worldwide Market Forecasts and Analysis 2013 - 2018' discusses the market dynamics such as drivers, restraints, ecosystem and their impact on the market. It also focuses on the global adoption, evolving standards and future trends of outdoor Wi-Fi. The outdoor Wi-Fi market is segmented based on deployment types, products, services, industry verticals and regions.
Key Findings: - Wi-Fi has evolved from various architectures. It is now operated in 5GHz and 60GHz bands enabling multiple user configurations. This has created the need for new business models in each stage of this transition, which in turn has opened up significant market potentials globally.
- Hot Spots, Machine to Machine (M2M), Carrier Wi-Fi, Outdoor Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi on the Go and In-Flight Wi-Fi are some of the most lucrative markets for Wi-Fi. Out of these, outdoor Wi-Fi has gained the most traction since it also covers the need for indoor Wi-Fi connectivity in the area.
- Outdoor Wi-Fi as a service and business model has opened up the market more so than when it was a technology.
Companies Mentioned: - Aerohive Networks - Airspan - Alcatel-Lucent - Alvarion - Aruba Networks - Avaya Inc - Enterasys Networks - Ericsson - Hewlett-Packard - Juniper Networks - Lever Technology Group Plc - Meru Networks - Motorola Solutions - Netcomm Wireless - Netgear - Nokia Siemens Networks - Ruckus Wireless - Xirrus For more information visit

I was wondering if anyone would have information on a street name in Termini Imerese or where I can look to find the information on the street name.
The street name is Via Mascari in Termini Imerese. I would like to know if it was named after one of my family members back in the day.

The Congress was recently mired in a blazing controversy after a woman in Assam was allegedly set afire by her husband who thought that she had kissed Rahul Gandhi during an interaction on women empowerment in Jorhat.
The woman who was burnt to death by her husband, was not the person who planted a motherly kiss on Rahul Gandhi in Jorhat. Now dna has tracked down the woman who had indeed kissed the Congress vice-president.
"He is like my son. By kissing him, I had blessed him to excel in his political career. I kissed him on the back of his head," 55-year-old Parasmoni Das told dna.
Das is unmarried, ekes out a living by weaving. She hails from river island Majuli, some 500km from Guwahati, and is a district Congress leader.
Narrating the incident, Das said she was sitting on the gallery right behind Rahul when the interaction was in progress. She said her action was impulsive and not a planned one.
"I saw several others trying to get close to him. As I was sitting right behind him, I felt like kissing him to bless him. When I did it, he said, thank you madam," Das said.
She appealed to the people to not read too much into it saying if she were married, she would have had a son of Gandhi's age.
Das said she didn't notice any other woman kissing the Congress leader and termed the incident in which a woman lost her life as unfortunate.
Das joined the Congress in 1982 and has been a very 'loyal party worker' ever since. "I have gone through very difficult time in my life. My father was a farmer and after his death about 35 years back, it fell upon me to run the family," said Das, who studied upto class V.
Of her two brothers, one is dead and the other is living elsewhere. Two of her three sisters, who are anganwadi assistants, stay with her while another is married.
"We weave gamchas and mekhealas (traditional Assamese clothes). My sisters run a shop in the town to sell the same," she said.
Das said she has not forgotten the days when Congress workers in Assam came under attacks from students who later floated Asom Gana Parishad (AGP). "During early 1980s prior to the formation of AGP government, Congress workers across the state were attacked by the students. Our house was also dismantled forcing me to flee to Guwahati. But I never left the Congress and have remained a very loyal party worker till date," she said.
Das said she could not get married as she had to look after the family. "When I could afford to get married, the age was not on my side," she said.

There's an open position for the top throne of the gods and goddesses. Only one can sit there. The only qualification is that he or she be the people's choice. It's your turn to write his campaign slogan and tell the world in clear, standard, punctuated English why he or she is numero uno. This is just for fun, so posts that sound religious will probably not be approved, but this is at my sole discretion.
Remember this is a single throne. Two gods or goddesses cannot share it, so you may only nominate one entity. While it doesn't haven to be a member of the Greco-Roman pantheon, since it is a throne, the deity you nominate should be able to sit in a chair.
- Frejya is generally known as a fertility goddess. As the goddess of love, she is shown to be sexually attractive and free with her favours. She also had links with the dead; half of the slain she shared with Odhinn, and each day decided who would enter her hall Sessrumnir, which lay in Folkvang, 'the Field of Folk.' Freyja also was mistress of magic. She owned a falcon-skin which she would don in order to travel to the underworld, bringing back prophecies and knowledge of destiny. In addition to shape-shifting, she also was the goddess of seidhr and could magically control fire. She drove a chariot pulled by cats, and her totemic animal was the sow.
- —evvabeing
- Artemis is awesome. Why? Because she knows how dumb boys can be, uses girl power, and knows the best animal for any hunter goddess, A WOLF! A wolf is nothing without the pack, and the pack is nothing without the wolf. Im sure artemis knows that
- —Irishlittlegirl
- Hades controls the dead. And no, he does not come claim your soul. Thanatos has that job. :D YOU ROCK HADES!!!
- —Guest Goddess
- Poseidon is the best Greek god by a landslide. He should be the king of gods because he could easily wipe one of them out. He has trillions of gallons of water to bombard them with
- —Guest Agua lover
- without her the gods would fail in their battles. Athena was Zeus's favorite and also the wisest daughter. Athena is one of the most important god. She gave the olive tree which is so important in Greek life.
- —Guest Vince
Listen Up !!! (:
- We all know who the best Greek god(dess) is, and it's, well, obvious that it's Eris, the daughter of Nyx and Erebus. No, I'm not a House of Night fanatic, but I admit I love the courage Eris has for being the goddess of strife !!! She teaches us that overcoming strife, we learn to be stronger and happier. Thank you, Eris !
- —Guest TheOneAndOnly3
- Artemis is so awesome!!! Power to the hunter,worker of the wolves!!!!!
- —Guest ????
- Athena, goddess of the hunt. She is tough, awesome, and carries a bow and arrow!
- —Guest John Lennon
- Pan is obviously the best for the world, while the other gods have outstanding qualities as viewed above, pan is the wild, global warming would not be the footprint of our existence if a certin god was there..... Love,water,weathe,death and sky are all important but I feel the most respected is the one and only who could possibly erase the dreadful litter and problems humans have inflected apron the inveorment

- —Guest Horseloveromega!!!
- Goooo Aphrodite!!! Aphrodite was one of the first god/goddess that came to be! She was born from Gaea herself! Aphrodite is the goddess of beauty and love. Love is the most powerful force in the world and like the title says it conquers all! I wouldnt even know where to begin if the world didnt have love. We wouldnt even exist i guess. Its either that or we would be savages and be killing ourselves off! From love we derive compassion. And since thats not happening i`d say she was already ruleing our lives, so why not let her have the throne? She is always with us but saddly unappreciated, so i say a vote for Aphrodite! You Rock!
- —Guest Mantha
- Dionysus is obviously the best god. In his cult, it is one's religious duty to become drunk on his drink. Obviously, his sect would be the most fun to be a member of.

Sixth Screenshot ChallengePublished on February 18, 2009 by Phaelia
9 Comments
This post is in response to Maiara of Voodoo Ventures' Screenshot Challenge, in which blog authors are asked to open their screenshot folder and highlight the sixth screenshot therein. As someone who has repeatedly reformatted her system over the years, my first batch of screenshots only dates back to my guild's first forays into Serpentshrine Caverns. The picture below appears to be just after I installed a certain someone's beautiful model pack. You can probably still see the guilty glow in my arboreal eyes:
And now apparently it's incumbent upon me to challenge a few other bloggers to participate in this quick and easy blogosphere challenge. Therefore, I throw down my leafy gauntlet to:
- Runycat of Unbearably HoT (please, try to pick a PG-13 screenshot at the very least)
- Karthis from Of Teeth and Claws (where might the bear have been THEN?)
- Leafshine (I know he'll love this)
- Graylo of Gray Matter (think the camera can angle around his big boomkin bottom?)
- Kalon from Think Tank (maybe we'll get something juicy like Kalon playing a healer and wearing a dress! or heck, tanking in a dress!)
- Keeva from Tree Bark Jacket (hopefully we don't catch her /mooing at passing Alliance)

First I have to say I recently discovered your great blog and love reading it! I specced my tank druid to resto again for Naxx and I am looooving it, oh my gosh Thanks to you and your help!
Now I have a question concerning your screenshot.
You appearently changed to models of the bear and the tree form right? I saw that bear-skin many months ago in form of a wallpaper and loooved it! FINALLY looking pretty! But I don't know where to get this model/skin/whatever from and how to use it :/
Do you propably know a site where to get it from and where it's explained how to use it? My boyfriend and I would be sooo happy to finally stop looking like ugly bears and trees
Best regards from Germany

2007 CFN WAC Preview
Team Previews
Boise State
Louisiana Tech
Nevada |
New Mexico
State |
San Jose State
Utah State
CFN All-WAC Team &
Top 30 Players
- WAC Team-by-Team
- WAC Unit
- WAC Schedules &
It's a good time to be
a WAC fan, or become one.
Three are better leagues, stronger ones from top to bottom, and ones
with far more star power, but there likely won't be any with better
week-to-week storylines, and there won't be any more entertaining.
Helped by becoming a haven for wayward coaches (Dick Tomey at San Jose
State, Hal Mumme at New Mexico State, June Jones at Hawaii) to go along
with a Hall-of-Famer (Chris Ault at Nevada) and two relatively young
stars who'll someday be elsewhere (Chris Petersen at Boise State and Pat
Hill at Fresno State), the league has become really interesting really
For years Fresno State has been giving the big boys a tough time (even
if there haven't actually been any major wins of note lately), Hawaii
has always been a nightmare of a place to play, and Nevada has
represented itself well. But after Boise State beat Oklahoma in the
classic 2007 Fiesta Bowl the WAC now has the signature performance to
show the world that the league deserves more respect and more attention.
WAC games are no longer going to be nice late night diversions at the
end of a long day of watching other leagues; they're going to be
appointment television week after week.
Fine, so you're not going to go out and buy a Louisiana Tech sweatshirt
or a pair of Utah State Zubaz, but you're certainly going to watch Boise
State now on a regular basis. You're going to want to see all the fuss
is about several time zones to the left when Colt Brennan, Davone Bess,
and the Hawaii air show starts putting up gonzo numbers yet again. And
later on down the line, just because you'll be a bit curious, you'll
figure out where Las Cruses, New Mexico is to fine Chase Holbrook and
Chris Williams play pitch-and-catch about 100 times in Mumme's New
Mexico State offense.
Impress your friends early by claiming San Jose State actually has a
shot at beating either Arizona State or Kansas State in the first two
weeks. Set the dial to pretentious and rightfully claim how Nevada has a
puncher's chance to hang around with Nebraska for a while. Get back on
that Fresno State bandwagon of a few years ago and watch Pat Hill's club
come out and play night-and-day better than last year.
If being a WAC fan before wasn't your college football guilty pleasure,
it needs to be.
Team That'll Surprise
New Mexico State – The offense will simply bomb the weaker teams into
submission. The Aggie defense couldn't stop you and your grandma's
knitting circle from scoring, but when you have an attack that'll roll
for close to 500 yards per game, little things like stopping the
opposition don't tend to matter. There are just enough cream-puffs (SE
Louisiana? Arkansas Pine-Bluff?!) to keep the Aggies in the hunt for a
bowl game.
Team That'll Disappoint
Boise State – When you've lost one game or less in four of the last five
years, dropping two would qualify as a disappointment, especially if it
means the Broncos don't win the WAC again. After the Fiesta Bowl,
everyone will expect that every time out, and it's not going to
happen. Ho hum, the team that's rebuilding a bit on both sides might
slip into a disastrous abyss … and go 10-2.
Offensive Player of the Year
QB Colt Brennan, Sr. Hawaii – He could throw for 5,000 yards and 45
touchdown passes and some will be disappointed he didn't break 6,000 and
sixty. The stats could overshadow his leadership if the Warriors win the
WAC title.
Defensive Player of the Year
LB Ezra Butler, Sr. Nevada – Being the WAC's best defensive player is
sort of like being the winner of a Don Imus look-alike contest, but
Butler really is good. He's a terror in the backfield with a
league-leading 17.5 tackles for loss last season, and he's the type of
veteran leader who can make the Wolf Pack defense shine in the
offensive-mad conference.
5 Big-Time Players Who Deserve a Bigger Spotlight ...
1. WR Chris Williams, Jr. New Mexico State
2. WR Davone Bess, Jr. Hawaii
3. DE Ben Calderwood, Jr. Utah State
4. LB Matt Castelo, Sr, San Jose State
5. LB David Vobora, Sr. Idaho
Coach on the Hot Seat
Brent Guy,
Utah State – After going 4-19 in his first two seasons, and likely
needing to pull off a big upset to come up with a victory this year,
Guy's team at least has to show signs of being ultra-competitive to be
around for year four.
5 Non-Conference Games the WAC opponents had better take, very, very
1. Kansas State at Fresno State, Nov. 24
2. San Jose State at Arizona State, Sept. 1
3. New Mexico State at New Mexico, Sept. 8
4. Nevada at Northwestern, Sept. 1
5. Fresno State at Texas A&M, Sept. 8
5 Best Pro Prospects
1. QB Colt Brennan, Sr. Hawaii
2. CB Dwight Lowery, Sr. San Jose State
3. WR Davone Bess, Jr. Hawaii
4. OL Jeff Cavender, Sr. Boise State
5. QB Chase Holbrook, Jr. New Mexico State
5 Biggest Shoes to Fill
1. Taylor Tharp or Bush Hamdan for Jared Zabransky, QB Boise State
2. Josh Bean for Korey Hall, LB Boise State
3. B.J. Batts, Jayson Rego and Kealoha Pilares for Nate Ilaoa, RB Hawaii
4. Nick Graziano for Jeff Rowe, QB Nevada
5. Lonyae Miller or Clifton Smith for Dwayne Wright, RB Fresno State
5 Bold Predictions
1. Hawaii and New Mexico State will wage a war for the ages. October 27th.
Make sure you're schedule is clear to watch two of the nation's best
offenses (if not the top two) put on a show. The Warriors won 49-30 last
year with the two combining for 956 yards of total offense. Expect 100
points and well over 1,000 yards.
2. Boise State will slip a bit before roaring back in 2008. Fine, so a
slip for Boise State still might mean a double-digit win season, but the
team will play more like 2005 (when it went 9-4) than 2006. Next year,
the program will be back to BCS challenging form.
3. No one will keep Hawaii to under forty points. Sound crazy? Only
Alabama, Boise State and Oregon State were able to do it last year, and
even those games were tight until the end. The offense rolled for over
sixty in four games and should do that in at least six.
4. Utah State won't win. At least, the Aggies won't be favored. The
easiest game on the slate is at Idaho. The second easiest is against
Louisiana Tech. The team will be far better than last season when it
struggled to do anything offensively, but it still won't be enough to
turn the woebegone program around.
5. Fresno State won't pull off any big upsets, but San Jose State will.
The Bulldogs will have their chances against Texas A&M and Oregon in
early September, but they won't have enough run defense to come away
with wins. However, the Spartans will beat either Arizona State, Kansas
State, or Stanford (if that's actually an upset).
What Will Happen
- The focus and attention will be off Boise State after an early
loss at Washington. Then things will quickly change as Chris Petersen's
club rolls through the WAC schedule, including an emotionally-charged
battle at Fresno State, only to lose at Hawaii to close things out.
- Hawaii won't lose. As long as Colt Brennan stays healthy, the Warriors
will be this year's dangerous WAC threat for the BCS. The toughest
non-conference game is against Washington at home. The toughest road
date is at Nevada.
- The loser of the San Jose State – Fresno State game on October 20th
will be eliminated from a bowl game.
- Hawaii, Boise State, and Nevada will go bowling.

This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
can you actually discern 320 kbps mp3 and lossless?
Need some better headphones in order to discern this.
i7-920 @ 3.6 // 770 GTX // 12 GB G.Skill Sniper Ram // PS3 // 360
FiiO e9+17 // AD700 + M50 // Deck Legend + 82 // DAS Ultimate S
Yes I can... but I've been mastering music since I was 15 (so over 10 years); so I'm kinda trained in it.
Anyways, 320 really isn't that bad. Unless I plan on using for recording/sampling/video production/etc., I rip and encode my CDs in 320 mp3, as mp3 is more versatile than FLAC, OGG, or WAV, and the difference, though there, isn't exactly as big as say 128 vs lossless. It's a viable format/bitrate and is more than adequate for most uses.
The real difference you have to look out for is Digital vs. Analog. And just like Digital, Analog has it's inferior formats (eg Radio, Cassettes) and it's superior formats (eg Vinyl, Reel-Reel). But there's a huge difference between Analog and Digital that can't be understated. Both have their advantages and disadvantages, and certain instruments sound better on one format verses the other. Overall, Digital has certainly come a long way, but if I were to buy a rock album, or an Orchestra album, I'd want it on Vinyl. While if I were to pick up a Hip-Hop album, I'd probably go digital.
However, this is strictly from a musician/producer's point of view; and the average consumer should be more than happy with 320 mp3 as a standard.
J.O.B. Squad 4 life
Yeah, probably because I worked in audio for a few years.
That being said, I'm perfectly content listening to 320 kbps mp3 most of the time, the main exceptions being good recordings of solos, ie Chopin's nocturnes or Bach's cello suites or something.
320 is still great, but the jump to CD is immediately obvious on even a mediocre setup. It depends on what genre you listen to. Jazz/Metal/Post rock hybrid band? Absolutely. 80s recording of Metallica? Probably not.
That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence. - Christopher Hitchens
yes. it's fairly easy to tell the difference between 128 and 320kbps, bit harder but with good ear phones and an ear for music (far to many years in chorus for me) you can pick up the difference between 320 and lossless. things like drums really stick out when you are comparing the two.
quick google search brought me here if you want to test it yourself.

Baka wa shinanakya naoranai.
yes with my beats detox LE's lossless is the only audio option anything else is sin
Macbook Pro Retina i7-3840QM @ 2.8GHz | Nvidia 650m 1GB GDDR5 | 16GB DDR3L Ram | 750GB Flash Storage
I've tried a couple times, and I can't honestly tell a difference. I have a decent enough audio setup, with a Xonar Essence STX, Beyerdynamic DT990 headphones and Audioengine A5+ speakers, so if even higher grade equipment than that is required, it's not really worth it imo. I can, however, easily tell the difference between 320 kb/s and lower mp3s.
At this point, I'm under the impression that flac is simply ideal for storing music in a lossless format, with no real advantage for listening enjoyment. Even self-proclaimed audiophiles need graphs to tell if something is truly in flac and not just upconverted. I know there's a troll practice of upconverting files to flac and putting them in a torrent just to hear a bunch of people fall for the placebo.
I can tell the difference between 128 Kbps and 320 Kbps in a blind test with my JVC HA-RX700. Not sure about anything higher/closer together.
Steam: Sydite
I've had a pair of the HA-RX700s, those are some pretty boss headphones for the price.
Actually, I use a pair of HA-RX500s for my "beaters" around town, and the 700s as a second reference for producing.
J.O.B. Squad 4 life
320 to lossless? Doubt it... 128 - 320 Probably fairly easily. The biggest problem with these formats is quite often people 'upscale' their horrible quality versions into something better and think that it helps. Go from cd quality to 320 in one conversion and I honestly don't think I could tell the difference and what little there is probably wouldn't be worth the extra hdd space imo.

01.09.05 - A 12-round title bout matching world-ranked lightweight Luis Arceo of Tijuana, Mexico, against Rustam Nugaev of Los Angeles joins Atlantas world-rated lightweight Ebo Elder, undefeated heavyweight Sultan Ibragimov of Russia and welterweight Merhav Mohar of Israel in championship bouts on the card promoted by Guilty Boxing in association with Sampson Lewkowicz and sponsored by Nafta Moskva Sept. 16 in The Arena at Gwinnett Center in Duluth, Ga..
Also on the card Sept. 16 will be five World Kickboxing Association Mixed Martial Arts and Muay Thai championship matches, one featuring Sean Sherk and another spotlighting Steve Headden of Atlanta, for a total of nine title bouts.
Tickets, priced at $20, $40, $60, $100 and $150, are available at The Arena at Gwinnett Center box office from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (Eastern) Monday through Friday or by calling 770-813-7600 during those days and hours. Tickets also are available at Georgia TicketMaster locations (Publix and Tower Records), by calling TicketMaster at 404-249-6400 or 800-326-4000 and at ticketmaster.com
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with the first bout at 7.
Arceo and Rustam battle for the vacant World Boxing Association Fedecentro lightweight championship.
The 26-year-old Arceo has a record of 19-2-2 with 13 knockouts and is ranked No. 29 by the World Boxing Council, a rating that is certain to go up if he captures that title.
Arceo won the WBCs Fecarbox super lightweight championship during 2003 and added the WBCs Fecarbox lightweight title last year.
The 22-year-old Nugaev, originally from Russia, has a record of 14-4 with six knockouts.
Other 12-round fights on the card include Elder, dubbed The X-treme Machine, in a WBA lightweight title-elimination bout against former two-time world champion Lakva Sim of Los Angeles and Ibragimov, who lives in Miami, Fla., defending his World Boxing Organization Asia-Pacific championship against Friday The 13th Ahunanya of Las Vegas.
The winner of the Elder-Sim fight meets WBA lightweight champion Diaz in a mandatory title bout.
Mohar, who lives in Brooklyn, N.Y., meets Xavier Tolliver of Arapahoe, N.C., in a 10-round title bout for the vacant WBC Fecarbox welterweight championship.
The 26-year-old Elder, who was born and raised in Atlanta and now lives in nearby Newnan, Ga., has a record of 22-1 with 14 knockouts and is ranked No. 5 by the WBA.
Elder, a quick and crafty southpaw, was the WBO North American Boxing Organization lightweight champion, a title he won last October, until he voluntarily relinquished it. Elder was scheduled to fight WBA lightweight champion Diaz during April on an ESPN PPV card. That fight was cancelled after Diaz suffered an injury during training.
The 33-year-old Sim, originally from Mongolia, has a record of 20-4-1 with 17 knockouts and is ranked No. 2 by the WBA. Sim was the WBA super featherweight champion during 1999 and the WBA lightweight champ last year.
The 30-year-old Ibragimov, a silver medalist for Russia at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, has a record of 17-0 with 15 knockouts and is ranked No. 8 by the WBO.
The 33-year-old Ahunanya, originally from Nigeria, has a record of 20-3-2 with 11 knockouts.
The 22-year-old Mohar, who rose to the rank of sergeant in the Israeli Army, has a record of 16-1 with 10 knockouts and has won 14 straight.
The 25-year-old Tolliver has a record of 18-4 with 11 knockouts.
WKA title matches include Sherk of Minneapolis against Joel The Silver Babyback Blanton of Indianapolis for the WKA MMA super lightweight championship; Surapon Khunpon Dechkampu of Atlanta against Chris Ngimbi of Amsterdam for the WKA Intercontinental Muay Thai super welterweight championship; Headden against David Kaplan of Arlington, Va., for the WKA United States MMA welterweight championship; Edson Diniz of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., against Dwyane Diesel Shelton of Richmond, Va., for the WKA Eastern Regional MMA lightweight crown; and Paulo Dantes of Fort Lauderdale against Mike Easton of Camp Springs, Md., for the WKA Eastern Regional MMA bantamweight championship.

Asked about the wide-ranging mix of artists in this fall's 24th Annual San Francisco Jazz Festival line-up, SFJAZZ Executive Director Randall Kline commented, "The diversity of the music is really a testament to the diversity of the Bay Area jazz audience—and of visitors from all over who share that love of musical exploration. It's their ongoing support that allows us to present artists as far apart musically as Sonny Rollins, Marisa Monte, and the Kamikaze Ground Crew in a relatively short period of time."
"That time element is something that sets the fall Festival apart from our longer SFJAZZ Spring Season, in fact," Kline continued. "Over the three weeks of the Festival, you get the feeling that every night, all over City, something exciting and different is happening. That's a very San Franciscan feeling."

FOX Sports Exclusive
NFL pre-camp previews: NFC South
Today's Pre-Camp Two-a-days: NFC SOUTH | AFC South
Current Vegas Super Bowl Odds: 23-1
Training Camp: Falcons Training Facility, Flowery Branch, Ga., July 29
The Looming Question: "Will the defense be able to stop the big play this year?"
Though some viewed the 2009 Falcons season as a step back from the squad's 11-5 campaign the year before, there were several positive takeaways from the 9-7 season. In 2010, Atlanta's primed to make a run at the NFC championship. To do so, the defense will need to surrender fewer big plays than it did in '09.
Last season, the Falcons defense allowed 55 pass completions of 20 yards or more, just one fewer than the NFC's worst-ranked unit, the Rams. Two acquisitions — cornerback Dunta Robinson and first-round pick Sean Weatherspoon — are top-flight talents who should help improve that number dramatically in 2010. Robinson, when healthy, is one of the best cover cornerbacks in the league. Weatherspoon, meanwhile, will play either the Sam or the Will spot, lining up next to tackle machine Curtis Lofton in the linebacker corps in his rookie season. Two of Atlanta's best young players — defensive tackle Peria Jerry and safety William Moore — come back from injury-hampered rookie seasons in 2009. In essence, that means four "new" contributors to a defense that was pretty darn good last year.
Everyone's psyched about the offense in Atlanta this season. The defense — young, uber-talented and under-the-radar — could actually end up being the stronger of the two units. If that's the case, watch out, New Orleans.
Key Camp Battle: Free safety: Thomas DeCoud vs. William Moore
DeCoud had an outstanding '09 season, but it's Moore who has a lot of Falcons fans most excited. A 2009 second-round pick, the hard-hitting second-year man out of Mizzou missed 14 games last year with hamstring and knee injuries. He's a guy to watch in 2010.
Early Edge: Thomas DeCoud
New Veteran in Town: Dunta Robinson, CB
The top corner in the free-agent market, Robinson leaves Houston after years of All-Pro caliber service. His seven interceptions over the past five years won't drop the jaws of the stat geeks, but he's a big-time player capable of taking the opposing team's top wideout one-on-one.
Young Gun to Watch: Sean Weatherspoon, LB
Weatherspoon's a big personality. He's one of those Twitter/YouTube "let's market the heck out of myself" types who actually turned off a lot of teams during pre-draft interviews. He can also play some football. With 400 tackles at Missouri, playing both the inside and outside linebacker spots, he'll make an immediate impact in Atlanta.
Current Vegas Super Bowl Odds: 55-1
Training Camp: Wofford College, Spartanburg, S.C., July 28th
The Looming Question: "Forget the quarterback position for a moment. Who's actually catching the passes in Carolina this season?"
In addition to longtime team leaders Jake Delhomme and Julius Peppers, reliable No. 2 wideout Mushin Muhammad's no longer in Carolina this season, either. Muhammad's replacement? Who knows? The Panthers finished 27th in the league in passing last season … and that was with a veteran quarterback and a No. 2 receiver. This year? Yikes.
When receivers coach Richard Williamson, a member of the original Panthers coaching staff in 1995, retired in January, the team decided to go outside the organization to find his replacement. New receivers coach Tyke Tolbert, formerly of the Bills staff, comes to Carolina with a tough task.
Dwayne Jarrett, a second-round selection out of USC in 2007, is expected to finally step it up in his fourth NFL season as the second wideout. Of course, he's done next to nothing in his three years in the league. Third-rounder Brandon LaFell is an LSU guy like his position coach Tolbert, but is still a rookie with a lot to learn. Fellow 2010 third-rounder Armanti Edwards is a converted college quarterback out of Appalachian State. Though uber-athletic and accomplished, there will be a learning curve for him, too. Other names in Panthers camp this summer are former Jets special teams ace Wallace Wright, local hero Kenny Moore and sixth-round pick David Gettis out of Baylor. Karl Hankton might make the squad for his return game abilities, but isn't a reliable option at receiver.
In short, regardless of whether it's Matt Moore or Jimmy Clausen under center, there are giant question marks at the wideout spot.
Here's hoping DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart can each put up 1,500-yard rushing seasons. Hell, they may have to if the Panthers hope to have any offensive success in 2010.
Key Camp Battle: Right guard: Duke Robinson vs. Mackenzy Bernadeau vs. Geoff Schwartz
After left tackle Jordan Gross went down in '09, the unknown Bernadeau filled in for Travelle Wharton at left guard. He was surprisingly solid. This summer, he'll go head to head with Duke Robinson for the starting right guard gig. Geoff Schwartz is an outside possibility for the spot, too.
Early Edge: Mackenzy Bernadeau
New Veteran in Town: Wallace Wright, WR/ST
The Jets made a major push to get Wright a Pro Bowl roster spot last year, and deservedly so. He comes to Carolina with a reputation as the ultimate team guy and a gunner in on every special teams tackle. There's an outside shot he plays a role in the passing game as a third or fourth wide receiver as well.
Young Gun to Watch: Greg Hardy, DE
Hardy, considered a first-round pick for much of his career at Ole Miss, slipped to the sixth round after a foot injury ruined his final collegiate season. With Julius Peppers in Chicago and a host of question marks along the defensive line, Hardy — if healthy — could very well end up being a starter in Carolina by season's end. He could even be starting by opening day with a good training camp.
Current Vegas Super Bowl Odds: 8-1
Training Camp: Saints Training Facility, Metairie, La., July 29
The Looming Question: "Who's going to replace longtime defensive leader Scott Fujita at strong-side linebacker?"
The Saints enjoyed what had to have been the longest Super Bowl celebration party in NFL history this winter, and both the quarterback and head coach spent last week making the rounds promoting their respective books. At some point, it'll be time to get back to football in New Orleans, and when it is, the strong-side linebacker position will be under the spotlight for the defending champs.
After four years as a starter, veteran leader Fujita signed with Cleveland as a free agent this offseason. Perhaps even more valuable as a mentor and teacher for the younger guys on the roster than as the man making key tackles, he'll no doubt be missed in Greg Williams' defense.
Left in his wake is a slew of rather unknown young candidates for the starting gig. Jo-Lonn Dunbar, a three-year vet who went undrafted in 2007, filled in admirably for Fujita when he was out two games with an injury in '08 and started three games in 2009. He finished the '09 Super Bowl season on injured reserve with a hamstring injury. Is he capable of being a full-time NFL starter? Another option is Troy Evans, a nine-year veteran who's been primarily a special teams player over the years. Stanley Arnoux, Jonathan Casillas and rookie Sam Maxwell are long-shot possibilities for the strong-side LB spot, too. If jettisoned veteran Clint Ingram's surgically repaired knee is OK, he could be the guy as well, I guess.
Whoever it is, he won't be Fujita. That's a loss both on the field and off it.
Key Camp Battle: Left tackle: Jermon Bushrod vs. Charles Brown
The left tackle spot is Bushrod's coming into camp, but there's lots of good buzz on Brown. Sure, Bushrod stepped up in Jammal Brown's absence last season and protected Drew Brees' blind side during the Super Bowl run. But big-time pass rushers like Dwight Freeney (on a bad ankle, no less) and DeMarcus Ware gave him fits. Brown's a solid backup who could very well be the long-term answer. If he dominates in training camp, the job could be his.
New Veteran in Town: Alex Brown, DE
Longtime vet Charles Grant didn't play a role in the Saints' postseason run to the Lombardi Trophy and was released after the season. Brown, made expendable after the Bears signed Julius Peppers, comes to town with a desire to prove he's still the pass-rushing terror he was back in his rookie season in 2002. He'll get every chance to do just that in Greg Williams' attacking defense.
Young Gun to Watch: Jimmy Graham, TE
Jeremy Shockey and David Thomas are veteran tight ends who each played different roles in the Saints offense last season. Graham, a Miami guy like Shockey, is a 6-foot-8 former hoops star with unlimited potential. He could end up being another red-zone target for Drew Brees. Talk about being spoiled.
Current Vegas Super Bowl Odds: 100-1
Training Camp: One Buccaneer Place, Tampa, Fla., July 30
The Looming Question: "What's Plan B if Donald Penn doesn't show up for training camp?"
Penn looked like an All-Pro left tackle during the first few weeks of the 2009 season, showing agility and strength that surprised even his Tampa coaches. He then began putting on weight over the course of the second half of the season and saw the quality of his play diminish.
When the '09 campaign ended, Penn refused to sign his $3.168 million tender, and the Bucs exercised their option to reduce the offer to 110 percent of his 2009 salary, a loss of about $100,000. So, here's Penn looking for a long-term lucrative deal, and there's the Bucs front office denying him a long-termer and actually reducing his offer.
That wasn't it, though.
General manager Mark Dominik then came out and said publicly during a fan Q-and-A session he was disappointed in Penn for putting on 40 pounds over the second half of the season. Dominik's since apologized, but the two sides appear to be at an impasse. Rumors swirled that Penn was tipping the scales at 380 pounds earlier this summer. Penn's since told reporters he's lost 30 pounds since the end of last season and is in great shape. Dominik and coach Raheem Morris have each spoken with the talented left tackle, but apparently none of those discussions have been about a long-term deal.
So, who's filling in for Penn and blocking Josh Freeman's blind side? Well, a guy who's really only played three years of organized football, of course. That's right, Demar Dotson, an untested 6-foot-9 lineman with far more basketball than football experience, is being thrown into the fire at left tackle this summer.
After just one season as a defensive lineman at Southern Mississippi, Dotson signed with Tampa Bay as an undrafted free agent in May '09. Last year, he played admirably in nine games as a backup right tackle. After showing incredible athleticism and potential, the one-time long-term project could end up being the short-term answer.
Buc fans who are downright horrified about the future of both their team and prized quarterback may want to take a look at the recent history of the left tackle position in pewter. Penn, like Dotson, was an undrafted rookie free agent in 2007. He took over the starting gig for injured Luke Petigout and 44 starts later, never looked back.
Who knows? Maybe Dotson can have similar success in relief of Penn.
Key Camp Battle: Left guard: Jeremy Zuttah vs. Keydrick Vincent
While left tackle garners the most attention in Tampa this summer, left guard should make for the best training camp battle. Zuttah had peaks and valleys in his first year as a starter in 2009. Vincent, a free agent signed from rival Carolina in the offseason, is a veteran presence looking to take Zuttah's job.
Early Edge: Jeremy Zuttah
New Veteran in Town: Reggie Brown, WR
With a wide receiver corps that's both young and freakishly athletic, Brown, acquired via trade with the Eagles, provides a rare veteran set of hands for Josh Freeman. Brown had a strong showing in OTAs and should battle second-year man Sammy Stroughter and longtime vet Michael Clayton for the starting third wideout spot. It's quite possible two rookies — Arrelious Benn and Mike Williams — start as Tampa's first and second wide receivers in 2010.
Young Gun to Watch: Brian Price, DT
First-round pick Gerald McCoy is going to get the bulk of the media attention in 2010, but fellow rookie DT Brian Price could make quite an impact, too. At 6-foot-1, 303 pounds, he made a habit of living in opponents' backfields at UCLA. In 2009, he was fourth in the nation in tackles for loss with 23.5. He's already working with ex-Tampa great Warren Sapp, and the early returns are positive. With Price, McCoy and second-year man Roy Miller, the Bucs could end up featuring three of the top young DTs in the division for years to come.

Senators prevail in shootout for a change, down Philadelphia
OTTAWA, Ontario (AP)
Jason Spezza always believed he could score in the shootout. The Ottawa Senators star then proved it to the Philadelphia Flyers.
Spezza scored the winning goal in the tiebreaker to lift the Senators over the Flyers 5-4 on Monday night.
Ottawa earned its first shootout win of the season after dropping its first four in the tiebreaker. The Senators snapped a five-game skid at home,
''I'd been good in the shootout historically,'' Spezza said. ''You take pride in that stuff, and especially when you're losing games. There was definitely a little extra fist pump, and it felt good.''
Spezza wasn't alone in feeling relief. Craig Anderson was elated when he stopped Sean Couturier to seal the win.
''It's about time,'' said Anderson, who made 25 saves. ''I think we've been in this situation a few times and haven't been on the right side of that.
''We find a way to get two points, and that's really all that mattered. You've got to be excited about two points.''
Clarke MacArthur had two regulation goals for the Senators (12-14-5), and Patrick Wiercioch and Kyle Turris also scored.
Michael Raffl, Jakub Voracek, Luke Schenn and Kimmo Timonen had goals for the Flyers (13-14-3). Steve Mason stopped 30 shots.
It wasn't enough to stretch out the Senators' home woes.

''Home ice has been a struggle, and we want to give the people something to cheer about,'' Spezza said. ''We've been frustrated with the fact we can't win, and it was nice to finally send the fans home happy.''
Turris gave the Senators a 4-3 lead with his first in eight games. He carried the puck from his end, moved in along the side boards and sent a shot in off Schenn at 8:21 of the third.
The lead was short lived as Timonen tied it 2:37 later with his second of the season with a floater from just inside the blue line.
Trailing 3-2, the Senators got even 2:21 into the third when a rebound of Bobby Ryan's shot went in off MacArthur for his second of the night.
''Anytime you go in the third period with a lead you want to keep it,'' Flyers captain Claude Giroux said. ''You want to make sure everyone is accountable for what they do, and they were able to get a couple of goals. We fought back and got a point, but it's tough to lose in a shootout.''
MacArthur has seven goals and four assists in his past 10 games.
''He has probably been our most consistent guy all year,'' Spezza said. ''Even at the start of the year when he wasn't scoring, you just knew it was a matter of time. Now that he is, he's driving us offensively and doing a lot of great things.
''He's been a heck of a pickup.''
Ottawa got off to a better start in the second and took the lead on Wiercioch's power-play goal at 9:30. Ryan made a back pass to Wiercioch, who scored into an open net to make it 2-1.
''It was good to get rewarded,'' MacArthur said. ''We're still sloppy in some areas. We still can play better, we've still got to play harder if we want to win every night.''
The Flyers regained the lead with two goals in less than a two-minute span midway through the period.
Voracek tied it with a power-play goal at 11:43, and Schenn made it 3-2 with a shot from the boards at 13:33. Anderson, with traffic in front, never reacted to the shot until he heard the crowd.
Raffl, with his first NHL goal, gave the Flyers a 1-0 lead 8:18 into the game.
''It's nice to get the first goal, but it would be even nicer with the win,'' Raffl said. ''It's kind of disappointing at the same time.''
Ottawa tied it 1-1 with 9:23 left in the first. Spezza fed MacArthur, who broke in alone on Mason and got his stick on the bouncing puck for his 10th goal of the season.
The Flyers won the season series 2-0-1.
NOTES: D Eric Gryba and C Mike Hoffman were healthy scratches for the Senators. . . . The Flyers were without C Vinny Lecavalier (back fracture). LW Tye McGinn was recalled from Adirondack (AHL) and was a healthy scratch along with D Erik Gustafsson and D Hal Gill.
