Jennifer Westfeldt Gossip
Jennifer Westfeldt gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Jon Hamm: the breakup and the hazing
IN TOUCH reports in their new issue that Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt have ended their relationship. Specifically the magazine claims that she cut him loose even before he went to rehab because she was tired of waiting for him to commit to her. Hamm's rep immediately issued a denial Full Story
Holiday Freeballing
AKM-GSI / Splash News
There seems to be a dick theme happening today… Enjoy it with your eggnog! Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt went shopping yesterday. As you can see, they did not buy men's underwear. There, that's what I want for Christmas. I want Jon Hamm to stop freeballing. The problem is that most of you want him to keep on freeballing. Full Story
Jon Hamm's white jacket
ROBYN BECK/ Frazer Harrison/ Jason Merritt/ Getty
Jon Hamm looked like he was in a great mood on the Emmys carpet. Duana would like me to mention that she didn't mind Jennifer Westfeldt's dress. I would like to mention that it looks wrinkled. As for his white tuxedo jacket, Duana noted during the live-blog that she'd prefer if it had matched the shirt. Full Story
Yeah, I'm still freeballing...
Wenn, Jason Merritt/ Getty
Is what I'm reading from this expression on Jon Hamm's face. The suit material is thick enough to hide the outline. Here's Hamm at the Season 6 premiere the day after it was reported that Mad Men producers politely requested he wear underwear ostensibly so as to contain his uncontainable junk. Full Story
Globes Best Acceptance of Limitations: Jon Hamm (Also, Jennifer Westfeldt)
Alexandra Wyman/ Kevin Winter/ Getty
I'm not going to comment on her face, because it's sad. We all know it and maybe we know why it's happening and either way it's upsetting. So. I will however comment on Jon Hamm. Ryan Seacrest goes "so uh, now that you're getting into directing, do you think you're going to write some Mad Men, too?" And Jon Hamm, God bless him, points out that the writers on his show are brilliant and that he himself cannot string two words together and that he won't even be attempting it. Full Story
Closed mouth smiles and open mouth smiles
Frederick M. Brown/Getty
Do you practise your smile? Like for pictures? Do you prefer yourself in pictures smiling with your mouth closed or your mouth open? What? You've never thought about it before because that's so vain and self-absorbed? OK fine. The rest of us will carry on... I do the open-mouth with teeth but not super wide. Full Story
Best Emmys Consistency: Jon Hamm & Jennifer Westfeldt
Kevin Winter/ Kevork Djansezian/ Getty
I received only one text last night opining that Jon Hamm looked a little puffy. While I concur that he wasn't in full-on chiseled Don Draper form, I thought he looked fairly good. No matter how many times I look at him, I still suck in my breath a little. He's beautiful. His partner Jennifer Westfeldt maybe was a little more on the facially-inflated side, but wore a pretty blue dress and reasonable hair. Full Story
Thumbs up Jon Hamm
Wenn, Ilya S. Savenok/Getty
Amid reports that he's been making moves on girls domestically and internationally - click here if you missed that article yesterday - Jon Hamm showed up last night at the New York premiere of The Campaign under a cap with his shades on. Many of you have emailed to ask about Jennifer Westfeldt and whether or not they're still together. Full Story
We still have you
Jon Hamm attended the To Rome With Love screening last night in New York with his long-time love Jennifer Westfeldt. Oh Hamm. We still have you, don't we? You won't wrap your head in a thousand scarves and necklaces and prefer the company of Marilyn Manson over your family, will you? Never ever once has there been a hint of it with Jon Hamm. Full Story
Mother, Daughter. Like? - Mad Men Season 5 Preview #2
Nikki Nelson/ Starbux/ WENN.com
Click here for preview #1.I just googled "Did Rare Steak Exist In The 60s?" (Answer - not really, except for "barbarians"). This was mainly due to how much I'm enjoying my leftovers-lunch, but as I turned my thoughts to Mad Men, I started thinking about what else I enjoy that the inhabitants of that era didn't. Full Story
Oscar Afterparty Charm: Jon Hamm & Jennifer Westfeldt
AFP/Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty
I wasn't really worried. Not actually. Maybe just a little bit. Jon Hamm was out a few times this month without Jennifer and I started to get just a little...heightened about the whole thing. As the events grew more and more high-profile, the fact that she was busy working was both completely awesome - they don't have to be together all the time! She doesn't just exist to squire him to things! - and a little angst-making, because there's something about these two that is special to me. Full Story
Also overlooked...
Frazer Harrison/Getty
At the GQ Men of the Year party - Timothy Olyphant and Jon Hamm. Only a handful of photos of them too while there's a full page of Justin Timberlake apparently because... he can bring it on down to Liquorville...? Olyphant looks HOT. Jon Hamm...Are we fighting if I say he's not doing it for me here? What kind of hard-to-please bitch am I when I say I don't like it that he's smiling so broadly? Full Story
Best FNL Fan: Jon Hamm
Jon Hamm looked bummed out when Mad Men won for Best Drama. Jon Hamm also has a man-crush on Coach Taylor. This is why we love Jon Hamm. Who looked, as usual, very handsome last night. And very chivalrously helped several ladies up on stage. And he loves his lady so much, Jennifer Westfeldt, which is why I wish, I wish so much, she would stop with the nonsense all up in her face. Full Story
Jon, Jennifer, Grey Goose
It was really cute when they were full on making out upstairs at the Grey Goose/Soho House party. This happened before they hooked up with George Clooney and Stacy Keibler. He adores her. He really, really adores her. But ... I mean you're looking at these photos. And we're thinking the same thing, right? Because in person, seeing her, all of us there were thinking the same thing.

Air Force Tech. Sgt. Adam Meredith, who was accused of raping a woman in her home in Fort Walton Beach in December, has been released from jail on bond to await trial.
Meredith, 34, is an explosive ordnance disposal technician with the 96th Civil Engineering Squadron at Eglin Air Force Base.
He posted $350,000 bond late last month and was returned to active duty, according to Eglin public affairs. He currently is on leave.
Meredith was arrested Dec. 2, 2012, and charged with sexual battery and breaking into a home.
According to his arrest report, he broke into the woman's home and found her sleeping in bed. He sexually battered her three times at knife point, the report said.
Before leaving, he told the woman not to turn on the lights or he would return and hurt her child.
After he left, she locked the door and he tried to re-enter, the report said.
Meredith's wallet containing his Florida driver license and military identification was found next to the woman's bed, according to the report.
Police found him shortly after the incident and arrested him.
The woman said she did not know Meredith, according to his arrest report and court records.
Meredith applied in December to have his bond reduced, but was denied after a hearing in February.
Maj. Eric Queddeng, commander of Meredith's squadron, said in a letter submitted for the bond hearing that Meredith's absence from duty had not and would not negatively impact the Air Force's mission.
He said Meredith's security clearance had been suspended since he was jailed.
His Air Force pay and benefits were suspended during his nearly four months in jail, according to Eglin public affairs.
If Meredith was released, Queddeng said in his letter for the bond hearing that he would be assigned to administrative duties pending resolution of the case.
While awaiting trial, Meredith will be required to report in person or by telephone to Okaloosa County Pretrial Services each Wednesday morning.
He is not allowed to have any contact with the victim or any witnesses, nor to be within 500 feet of the victim's home. He will wear a GPS monitor, according to court records.
Meredith has been stationed at Eglin since October 2005 and lives in Fort Walton Beach with his wife and daughter.
Destin attorney Donald Witmyer, a former Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal diver and Air Force officer, is representing Meredith.
His jury trial is set for April 22.

NXT-G 2.0 Datalogging
Whilst it's possible to do datalogging in previous versions (check out some of Brian's amazing posts) the new version ties it all together in a nice GUI that I think will appeal to many teachers.
Each experiment has it's own Configuration panel where you can specify the sampling rate, overall experiment length and the sensors you'll be using.
Once setup, you can run the experiment in either Real-time or remote mode. Real-time allows you to see the data as it's captured whereas remote allows you to download the experiment, take the NXT to another location and upload the data once the experiment is finished.
NXT-G2.0 produces some nice graphs and enables you to to do some basic analysis. This is the graph that was produced when I logged the light levels in a room for 24 hours.
Overall I really like it. It is quick to setup and run experiments and the data visualisation is quite nice. If you want to do more analysis you can export the data to a .csv file and open in Excel.
Here are a few more graphs I made.

Is there a way to import this "block" in NXT-G 1.0?

Unfortunately not. This is the new Graphical User Interface that comes with the educational version of the NXT-G2.0 software.

Good day.
is there is any software plugins/addons/functionality to log motor performance/position/power consumption to plot such data later like 2D plot?
Now I am using amperemeter and voltmeter to integrate I graph and multiply by V. But it would be great to to get such data from motor controller.
best regards, Boris

Is there any possibility to log data of hitechnic sensors? E.g. acceleration sensor?

Alumni Success Stories
Carrie Giovannone, Ph.D.
IMAGE: Carrie
What year did you graduate?
December 2010
Which program(s) did you complete?
Ph.D. in Evaluation and Measurement
Are you currently employed, and if so, where?
Currently, I am employed at the Arizona Department of Education as the Deputy Associate Superintendent of Research & Evaluation.
My day typically starts (7 a.m.) and ends (approximately 5 p.m.) with an hour of answering emails for a total of two hours a day. Currently, we have a staff of 11 who cover an accountability unit, a research unit, and a program evaluation unit so throughout the day I attend quite a few meetings regarding multiple projects covering all of those areas. I manage the R&E division so during the day, often times, I meet with the Superintendent of Public Instruction, John Huppenthal, and various ADE divisions to talk about potential projects to be scheduled into our workload.
We work on multiple projects throughout the year. The following are a few large projects that we are currently working on. School accountability is a large high profile annual project for R&E so during January through June we keep up to date on legislative bills that may have some effect on state school accountability. Federal and state deliverables (i.e., reports) generally run from June through August. These are complex calculations that include very large data sets. From September through April we message out to the schools any adjustments we need to make to the accountability model for the following years and gather feedback.
Currently, across the nation teacher and principal evaluations are being devised and implemented. This is a very challenging project since legislative policy is ahead of research in this area. We have created a teacher and principal evaluation model that we are piloting over the next year and one half. We are working closely with other states, often sharing lessons learned to help with the large learning curve in an area that does not have much research to rely on.
Our staff also works on research that range from annual reports to analyses run at various grade levels investigating nuisances we see in the state data from multiple Arizona state assessments. It is definitely exciting working for the state department and playing a role in bridging the gap between policy that is written and operationalizing education law in the schools throughout the state of Arizona. We see changes that are taking place in schools annually and we work very hard to conduct research on topics that will aid the ADE in implementing these adjustments in the most effective, efficient manner.
What were some of your biggest challenges after graduating that shaped your career?
One of the biggest challenges that I face is the fact that I do not have experience teaching in a K-12 setting. This has caused me to reach out to teachers at all levels to gather feedback and gain insight from their perspective on projects we work on that may affect their daily work. I am empathetic to those in the teaching profession as this is a very difficult time to be working in a K-12 setting. I feel this obstacle that I face drives me to reach out to teachers perhaps more than I would if I had this teaching experience. Gaining insight from an array of teachers definitely help shapes my work and is making an impression on my career choices.
What is one piece of advice you would offer to those interested in pursuing a career in Evaluation and Measurement?
The advice I would give those in Evaluation and Measurement planning to work for a state department is to take some time to teach in the field (preferably in a K-12 setting) to gain experience that you can draw on when working with teachers.
What is your favorite thing about KSU?
At Kent State I was able to obtain a quality education that has opened many professional doors for me. I'm grateful to the professors and assistant professors that played a role in shaping my education. My favorite memory about Kent State is how personable my professors were, fostering an open door policy and always encouraging exploration in areas that would expand my horizons professionally.

If you see Terry's later books as fables (as in there is point to them about humanity or how the world works) then it is important for our sense of justice within the book that Stratford dies because he viciously murdered the goblin girl, the law couldn't have executed him for that even if he'd made it to court.
The law doesn't execute people. People execute people. If Stratford were tried under AM laws, he would be guilty of killing a sentient species. It would have been easy to prove the goblins' sentience--after all, Sybil made sure the entire world was aware of it.
So, Stratford would have been brought to justice, since Vetinari, for all his faults, is one who is extremely sensitive to species-related intolerance (and someone who would have seen the value of earning the trust of a population of obedient, nonviolent, highly skilled artisans who would be willing to work for cheap). Had he not brought Stratford for justice, he would have been villified by everyone who had seen the goblin girl play the harp in AM. He, of all people, knows where the political winds blow.
And even if Stratford could not be brought to justice in a trial, Vetinari would have found a way to make sure Stratford chose to choose the door to nowhere.
Didn't Vetinari say that the law couldn't be applied retroactively in regards to the goblins, therefore Stratford couldn't be tried under it.

Certain animals seem to be right at home in different decorating themes. Gardens with an Asian theme look twice as good with Panda statues and sculptures of cranes. Animal garden statues of Cheetahs and other African wildlife fit right in with beautiful Egyptian decorations while a Winged Pegasus or Unicorn find their niche in homes and gardens with more mystical, magical themes.
The Gothic-themed abode also has its signature animal and although it would be tempting to give that title to the gargoyle, those creeping, wall climbing creatures are more of a monster than an animal. Although one could just as easily describe dragons as monsters, they still fit more comfortably into the animal category.
Dragons are the magical, fire-breathing animals that have fascinated people throughout the world for thousands of years. If they ever had a home in a decorating theme, Gothic fits the bill perfectly. In fact, a Gothic-decorated place without a dragon or two just doesn't look complete.
A dragon like the Falkenberg Castle Moat Lawn Statue will look perfect as it "swims" through your garden and provides that classic draco look with a horned head, toothy maw, and scaled hide. Inside the home, decor like the Wolfram Dragons Sculptural Wall Shelf will round out your display of Gothic decorations.

O Basics
Also found in:
♠ DreaM Stockings ♠ Knee Highs ♠ Over The Knee ♠ St Paddy Socks ♠ Made in the USA ♠ Small Feet ♠ Eco Friendly ♠ Kilt Socks ♠ Plus Sized ♠ Solid ♠ Cosplay
A perfectly basic over-the-knee sock to do just about anything in. These are plain and simple, but with all these colors to play with, you can decide for yourself how basic you want to be! Made in the USA.
Fits US women's shoe size 6-11 (men's 4-9) best, maybe even bigger. They're about 25 inches* from heel to top, and may only be knee-high on longer or fuller legs (but shorter legs might find they go practically thigh-high!)
The maximum stretch for these socks varies from color to color, but all of them will fit comfortably up to about 17 inches in the calf and 19 inches at the cuff. The stretch does tend to change a bit from batch to batch, so if you are concerned as to whether a color will fit you please don't hesitate to email us and we'll happily test the stretch on any color for you.
*Some of our Olive O Basics are slightly shorter than usual, about 21 inches from heel to top, with 18 inches of stretch in the cuff.
Fiber Content: 68% recycled cotton, 17% acrylic, 15% spandex.
Machine or hand wash in cold to cool water, tumble dry low or hang dry.
Label: DreaM Stockings
okay i have pretty big thighs and im worried about getting these and them not fitting up my thighs and staying there..
I am wondering how these compare to the extra long thigh high (?) socks I have gotten in the past?
I am looking for natural fiber longer than usual knee sock or just barely over the knee sock for my adult daughter. She wears a brace from her toes to just below her knee. White preferably-she is 5 ft tall and about 135 lbs. Can you suggest anything?
would you say that the "sherbet" color in the O Basics is a lighter orange color? I'm trying to match a sweater for a Velma costume and I feel like the "rust" will actually be too dark, and am not certain about the "sherbet" Thank you!
Is the white color a true white? or an off white? What about the natural color? Can you describe the shade more specifically?
Can you describe the Banana color? would you call it a light/pastel yellow or is it closer to a warm light cream, like the inside of a banana?
When will you be restocking these? I love mine and want to order more colors.
how quick can you ship these? I need them early next week.
Had a blast on my birthday weekend wearing all my new sockies from Sock Dreams!! Just wanted to say thanks for being you. :)

From Apple® iPhonesTM to AiAiAi Headphones to the Rolls Royce Phantom, matte black is everywhere. The finish gives black a warmer, more inviting look than its glossier, sharper counterpart.
Luxury automakers such as Lamborghini and Rolls Royce have embraced the look, offering various models in a luxe matte black finish. Auto enthusiasts are also getting in on the trend by having auto "wraps" applied to their vehicles – from Porsches to Hyundais – and the trend is picking up steam.
Now the finish can be found on electronics and electronic accessories, jewelry, nail polish, and many other fashion accessories. And its appeal isn't confined just to products: Matte black is gaining popularity as a fascinating, yet cozy, home interior finish.
The finish is intriguing when used in an interior space, but not in an outrageous way, as many might expect. Lauren Rubinstein, commercial photographer, says, "It tells me that the homeowner isn't afraid to show something a little different. I think black is as acceptable a color as chocolate brown or beige, but it's definitely a head-turner."
Revamp a room
A matte finish softens the often harsh appearance of the color black and lends a unique feel to rooms both large and small. "It can make a small space seem more regal, and a larger space more dramatic, yet still approachable," says Rubinstein. "It definitely is a showstopper and a conversation piece. Most homeowners are amazed at the transformation a room takes on after matte black is added to their color palette. It's really a dreamy soft look."
Help soften the look and feel – and your client's potential reaction – by suggesting they start slowly. Use matte black paint to cover just one standout wall in a common living area. Make certain the room has ample lighting. Balance the room by using a soft white or cream trim or bead board. "It really makes the soft black walls steal the show," says Rubinstein. "I think you can take a more minimalist approach and use bead board in white, or do something a little more French Country or traditional with toile." With the balance, even dark wood floors can look stunning, although keep in mind that some dark carpeting or wood paneling may be too heavy to support a matte black wall.
Get creative
Rubinstein uses matte black in her home, and it serves multiple purposes in her dining room. It not only operates as a stunning visual centerpiece that complements the surrounding finishes, but it also makes an interesting conversation piece when she entertains. "I use my matte black wall as a menu. I write the night's feast on the wall in chalk for everyone to gawk at. My guests always have something to say about it!" she says.
Matte black can add drama and a soft, welcoming feel to a small powder room when used on one wall. When applied in a kitchen, it can balance and absorb the gloss and shine of gleaming stainless steel and granite. Even in a sunroom, lofted space or bedroom, the color can help create a luxuriously relaxing retreat.
Finish the look
When designing and finishing a room with matte black, décor is important. Add some interest to the room with glossy lamps or fixtures; high-shine hardwood or tile flooring; or a thick, textured rug. Consider repetitive, angular patterns and "nubby" or ribbed textures on furniture or accent pieces. Choose either a creamy or stark white to round out the simple color palette, and then finish it off with just a few bright colors that draw the eye without overpowering. "Throw in some teal green or pink for just a hint of color, keeping it really simple," says Rubinstein.
Sherwin-Williams matte black coatings:
- SW 6258 Tricorn Black
- SW 6991 Black Magic
- SW 6993 Black of Night
- SW 2936 Black Emerald

- You can't take the battery out. Why in the world can't the battery be taken out? What if my phone freezes and the buttons aren't responding? I'd have to wait until the battery drains to recharge it. The battery life is awesome though, but in this case it is pretty annoying.
- No additional memory slots???
- Shotty SIM card slot. Even though I didn't have problems with it in the beginning, I was worried about it simply due to the "looseness" feel of that little panel holding it in.
- The keyboard is a 5/10 overall. The big downer is that it doesn't have arrows to navigate the text you've just written. So when I want to go add a word mid-way through a paragraph, I either have to keep trying to press that magic spot on the screen between words, or I just touch the word next to it and retype. Difficult to explain, but I think 8X users would feel me on this.
- Phone randomly restarts whenever it wants to. I was browsing a forum on it yesterday and out of nowhere it started the shutdown process and told me "goodbye" . Then it proceeded to repeat this for the next 10 minutes. Luckily the 8X has a great loading time...which only got my hopes up for a few seconds before it told me "goodbye" again.
- Every time I unplug from the charging cable my SIM card goes "missing." A quick fix is to power the phone down and reboot. It only takes maybe 45 seconds to fully boot up, so no biggie right? Well, when I reboot the SIM card is apparently still on vacation. I try waiting, sometimes upwards to 30 minutes. No success. I reboot and repeat the previous steps until it starts working again.
- SIM card also goes "missing" randomly throughout the day.
- Those times my SIM card is not detected I cannot send text messages, make phone calls, or use any sort of application that requires data. I don't understand why everything must rely on my SIM card now? With my Thunderbolt I could yank the 4G SIM card out (worked, but Verizon refused to replace the phone...long story) and still text, browse the internet, etc. Granted it was only 1x...but I could still do it.
- This morning I woke up and checked my phone for messages. The back-lit touch buttons on the bottom were all lit up, but the phone was not responsive. Normally you could yank the battery out for a second and replace it and be fine. Well, I couldn't access the battery and none of the buttons wanted to do anything. So I just waited. Still hasn't changed.
Has anyone else experienced similar issues?
And here's some of the things I've experienced or see pretty often with friends:

Somewhere, Brock Lesnar can't hear the judge's decision......over his throbbing erection!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I actually think Frank announces his retirement soon.
There are many paths to freedom, not all are peaceful
Brock won't be contractually available until April 2015.....he's only coming back if they give him a much bigger fight than Overeem and even then, he'll be almost 38 with the same severe health issues which caused him to retire to begin with.
Overeem/Barnett would be really fun.
really? hes calling out someone he already beat?? sigh most of the respect I gained for him from this fight went out the window *facepalm*
Dam must be a bad mma fan don't give a fuk about any fights after this.
Fuck you Joe Rogan, GSP won the Hendricks fight, get the fuck over it. What a cunt.
It's weird to see this fight not as the main event.

So I'm looking to get a new phone.
My current phone is a HTC Trophy 7 (a.k.a. HTC Sparc). The phone is no longer compatible with the network I am on.
I'm looking at 3 options:
Nokia Lumia 920: http://www.nokia.com...phone/lumia920/
Samsung Galaxy S3 (NOT the 4G version): http://www.samsung.c...lobal/galaxys3/
Motorola Razr HD: http://www.motorola....D,en_US,pd.html
To preface this, I WILL NOT BUY AN IPHONE. I would however like some advice as to which way you all think I should go. Price isn't important as all of these phones are free on my contract.
So here's where I am at the moment.
Lumia 920:
Ecosystem, I'm already on WP7, LTE, Battery Life, Nice Design, Good (basic) voice control (for calls and messaging in my car), wireless charging (kinda meh).
App ecosystem blows, sub-par multi-tasking, No replaceable battery, dual core.
Samsung GS3:
App ecosystem, compatible with my email etc, Battery life, Good community support (CM10 etc), strong processor, tons of ram, good storage.
Sub-par shipping ROM, Most of the big features are specific to the rom, Screen is a bit meh, Voice control appears hit and miss at best.
Motorola Razr:
App ecosystem, compatible with my email etc, BIG Battery life (25% more than both phones in battery size), really nice screen.
Sub-par shipping ROM, Voice control appears hit and miss at best, It's a Motorola, dual core,
Regarding usage:
I use my phone to make phone calls a lot. I text a lot, but I'm pretty easy on my data usage (I'm mainly using wireless). I need to be able to use voice control via bluetooth in my car. I don't really stream media, I don't listen to music off of it unless I am running. I don't need LTE and I'll rarely be in locations that support it. I won't touch the GS3 4G because it has enormous battery drain issues.
I'm a bit shy of going WP8 due to what happened with WP7. I really like the voice control (it works well, reads me my messages and lets me reply etc). The app ecosystem doesn't worry me beyond that the apps I use are generally of lower quality on WP than on Android (Endomondo, FitBit) and it has terrible multi-tasking.
Moving to android isn't so much of a worry so long as voice control is still really good. Everything else I can work around, just not that.
So yeah. Any advice, first hand experience etc would be very much appreciated

Shares touched a nine-year low of $16.25 and were trading at prices not seen in nearly a decade after the Richfield, Minn., company issued a grim second-quarter report. The only good news for the company on Tuesday was that the hemorrhage ended with a near-rebound from the opening bell. Still, it closed Tuesday 51 cents down at $17.65.
The blogosphere is convinced Best Buy has a lot farther to fall.
"Best Buy sells 6 phone chargers and a Ke$ha CD this quarter," joked New York based financial adviser Josh Brown through his @ReformedBroker Twitter feed.
"I really don't see a lot of ways for this company to turn around," R.J. Hottovy, analyst at Morningstar, told CNBC. "Best Buy -- where it stands now -- can't compete with the Amazons of the world."
Lee Munson, author of "Rigged Money" and founder of Portfolio LLC, told YahooBreakout that Best Buy "represents the last place that people like you and me can go in and look at a piece of electronics before we go on Amazon and actually purchase it sight unseen. So I think it's important to watch the death of a great American concept of the big box store go by the wayside."
As the holiday season approaches, and with French-born CEO Hubert Joly about to take the helm, the market will watch the company's performance through the all-important shopping season, when retailers see their best performance of the year.
Joly has been labeled a master of turning around failing businesses. According to Forbes, Joly's two noteworthy successes have been to triple sales of his former employer Carleson's travel unit, Carlson Wagonlit Travel, in the early 2000s and from 1999 to 2001 growing Vivendi SA's (Paris: VIV) computer games unit which the company later sold to Activision Blizzard, Inc. (Nasdaq: ATVI).
Meanwhile, founder and primary shareholder Richard Schulze is trying to scrape together enough equity partners to pay nearly $9 billion to take the company he founded private after 27 years as a publicly traded retail giant.

PANAMA CITY— The Bay County Commission Tuesday didn't vote for a boat ramp on Crooked Creek, while voting for a boat ramp on Crooked Creek.
That's the position some commissioners took, which helped cushion the blow on the 15-plus members of "Friends of Crooked Creek" who came to oppose the boat ramp and the county acquiring the property on which it will be built. The opposition claimed the boat ramp will cause environmental damage, including erosion, and decrease boater safety.
The property sits in West Bay.
The commission's 5-0 vote accepted the 7.56-acre parcel from the St. Joe Co., which abuts the creek off TiTi Road, and county staff is not required to get commission approval for the boat ramp's construction, according to Assistant County Attorney Don Banks and Commissioner Mike Thomas, who both spoke after the meeting.
"We don't give permission for them to build the boat ramp," Thomas said, referring to county staff.
Budget approval is the only reason the issue would go back before the commission, but the ramp could be built in increments less than $50,000 — the minimum amount requiring commission approval, Thomas said.
In the meeting, public comments and commissioners' discussion took nearly an hour on the issue, which was marked with confusion.
Multiple times Commissioner Guy Tunnell restated his motion on the land acquisition and boat ramp, attempting to clarify its meaning. He said the commission should follow the county staff's recommendation to accept the land, and get input from those affected.
"And if it is determined that we will put a boat ramp on this property, that we will do so with all due consideration to safety precautions, and we request a no-wake zone be implemented as is deemed appropriate for that area," Tunnell said
Chairman George Gainer asked whether the commission was voting for a boat ramp. Tunnell said his motion didn't say that.
Commissioner Dozier said, as he understood it, the commission was voting to accept the property, and if the county decides in the future to build the boat ramp, it will get community input before doing so.
But Thomas was adamant about the land's use.
"Just why do you want this property? Why did you accept it? Why would you vote to accept this obligation from St. Joe?" said Thomas, who already had voiced his support for the boat ramp.
In fact, the deed to accept the property says the county cannot "further encumber" it, aside from the "construction of a boat ramp facility."
Dozier said he thought a boat ramp would ultimately go on the site, but if and when that happens, there will be adequate community input.
Tunnell said the boat ramp would be a county staff decision.
After the vote, Gainer told the "Friends of Crooked Creek" — eight addressed the council opposing the land acquisition — "Smile out there you've won." But as they left the meeting, they didn't feel like winners.
"Not at all," said both Scott Dean and Jennifer Wolgamott, who live near the creek.
"They didn't change the language in the deed, which has 'boat ramp' in it," Wolgamott said.
Later, two more unhappy residents approached the podium during the meeting's public participation segment.
Barbara Gudgel of Panama City Beach was interrupted by Gainer as she addressed the commission. The chairman told her to sit down because the boat ramp issue had already been addressed and she had spoken earlier.
"We're not going to revisit Crooked Creek," Gainer said.
Before sitting back down, Gudgel said, "I was told by Commissioner Tunnell on Thursday that there would not be a vote on that issue."
After the meeting, Gainer said as he understood it the county was accepting the property and looking at its best use. He thought the commission would have another say on the property's use.
Gainer said if the vote had been a straight up or down on the boat ramp, he would not have been in favor of it.
But Thomas said in an interview after the meeting the commission accepted the property from St. Joe Co. for recreation and a boat ramp. He said Tunnell's add-ons already are standard — only making sure everything is done in an environmentally safe way and the county gets input from neighbors.
"All of those things are done anyway through the permitting process. He was just being specific," Thomas said.
Thomas said the boat ramp is in the administration's hands and could take four years to build. He said some of the money for the boat ramp may come from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC). He said parks and recreation already has money for the project.
"There's a lot of different things that will affect how it's built, but it doesn't have to come back to this commission to be built," he said.
Also Thomas said the no-wake zone Tunnell requested is not up to the commission. He said the commission must pass an ordinance asking for one, stating the hazards caused if one is not put in. He said FWC or another higher level government agency could implement a no-wake zone, but not the commission.
"It's not a we-ask-for-it-and-we-get-it deal," Thomas said.

+ - Universal blocks Trent Reznor's fan remix web site->
Submitted by cLive ;-)
cLive ;-) writes: "Trent Reznor's recent departure from Universal was meant to leave all this crap behind but, even now, the suits are stopping him from helping to bring the music industry into the 21st century (eg, with new distribution models). Having previously fallen out with his record company by urging fans to steal his music when he thought his CDs were overpriced, now he's being "lawyered" over his upcoming fan remix web site. The main gist of the problem is that Universal are scared to host his remix site when fans could be submitting mashup tracks that would infringe on other artists' rights, as this would affect the industry's ongoing lawsuit against YouTube et al...

These Guys Don't Wear Flowers in Their Hair
San Francisco 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and GM Trent Baalke are supremely competitive, confident individuals who often bypass pleasantries and sometimes disagree on important football matters. But a power struggle? Both deny it
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — If the 49ers are headed toward some sort of seismic divorce between general manager Trent Baalke and coach Jim Harbaugh, they're hiding it very well.
Football people are very good at what they do. They are not, however, good actors. I've been around enough stressful situations in NFL organizations to know that they don't do a very good job of putting on a happy face in bad times. No matter what people say, you can see or sense underlying tension.
While spending a few days around the 49ers' facility on a couple of different projects, I've talked separately with Baalke, Harbaugh, team president Paraag Maranthe and CEO Jed York about a variety of subjects. The Baalke-Harbaugh relationship obviously came up. There have been various reports about tension between the two along the way, such as this one from ProFootballTalk.com and another from Tim Kawakami of the San Jose Mercury News. Even before the GM-coach relationship got a public airing this offseason after the Browns inquired about Harbaugh's availability, sources had told me that Harbaugh has a tendency to grate on people and that the 49ers wouldn't be too disappointed if Harbaugh ended up taking another opportunity somewhere else down the line.
We'll get to that in a minute, but the only tension I sensed around the 49ers' facility had to do with a strong desire to push through and deliver a sixth Super Bowl title for an organization whose three consecutive NFC Championship appearances (one conference title) doesn't suffice, even after missing the playoffs the previous eight years. I never sensed any strain between Harbaugh and Baalke, or among those who work with them day in and day out. If two alpha males are clashing to the point of it being a problem, it usually filters throughout the rest of the building and it's difficult to mask. Either everyone working for the 49ers is a great actor, or there isn't a huge problem between Baalke and Harbaugh. At least not right now.
"So much has been written and said that—unfortunately—it's been written and been said by people that have never sat down with me, or personally sat down with Jim, or ever been in the building to see how the dynamics of this building work," Baalke said this week. "Our relationship is good. And it's been good. But like any relationship there have certainly been times when decisions need to be made and all the things that go with those decisions come into play and there's banter, and it's good.
"I've seen so much written that it doesn't make sense to me. They don't know us. And to put words into our mouths is unfair. To read into it is unfair. This is a competitive business, and the only way to survive is to be highly competitive. And everyone in this organization is highly competitive, just like any other. It's a highly competitive environment. We like that. That's what we thrive on. So to say that the relationship is strained or it's a relationship that can't coexist is totally off base. Totally off base."
I found it interesting that when I tried to go at both Baalke and Harbaugh from different directions about their relationship, both picked up on what I was trying to do and quashed it.
"Just the way you posed the question, you seemed to indicate that it's a confrontational perception about our relationship," Harbaugh said. "It is teamwork and that's what it has been, and that's what it continues to be and that's what it has to be moving forward. That's our belief. We've done a good job executing that and making it about what's best for the team and the San Francisco 49ers. We're lockstep in that understanding."
Said Baalke: "Even the way you worded it, it's like we're two rams butting heads every day. We rarely butt heads. We work together 365 days a year. We're together more than we're with our wives and families. The dynamic that's being discussed isn't the dynamic that's taking place. It's a highly competitive industry with Type A people involved. But to say it's a constant battle in this organization for power is totally false and misrepresented, because it's not that way."
Here's my read on the state of the Baalke-Harbaugh relationship.
You're talking about two highly competitive individuals who are supremely confident in their abilities. You're also dealing with two individuals who, while seemingly good and affable people at their core, don't possess the greatest interpersonal skills in the world. They are seemingly unaware, at least at times, of how they can come off to people—including to each other—and at the end of the day I don't really think they care because both are football lifers who care most about competing and winning a Super Bowl title. Not much matters to them beyond that.
To outsiders that seems strange and an indication that things aren't going well. Really, in most organizations that's how it goes. Sure, there are places where coaches and general managers are best buddies or at least appear that way, such as the Seahawks' Pete Carroll and John Schneider and the Saints' Sean Payton and Mickey Loomis. But those are the exceptions. If Baalke and Harbaugh mugged a little bit more for the cameras, they might not be getting some of the blowback they're receiving. That's just not in the DNA of either of them. At all. If it's not helping them win football games, neither guy has the patience for it.
There are certainly times that Baalke and Harbaugh go at each other, but it's less than what has been reported and it doesn't seem to be rooted in some sort of power struggle. It's just that each man has been successful and possesses strong beliefs. If they disagree about a player, they'll go to the film and watch together. Yes, there will be some strong banter back and forth, but either can be persuaded with a strong and sound argument. Then it's over and they're on to the next thing.
"It's been very healthy," Harbaugh said. "We each can express our view and opinion and then when we're finished, that's the decision and then we're in lockstep as an organization for how we pursue our goals and our next thing that we have to resolve, or the next thing we have to anticipate. But it's been successful in that regard."
As for Harbaugh's future with the 49ers, he has two years left on his contract, and he's watched Carroll and John Fox recently receive contract extensions. The 49ers don't talk about contracts, but the impression I got is that if Harbaugh wins a Super Bowl and wants to be paid accordingly, San Francisco will make it happen. (Harbaugh wanting more personnel power has never been brought up, by the way). In the same manner, if Harbaugh wants to leave for another college or pro job, he can do that as well. But that's not about anything Harbaugh has or hasn't done, or Baalke. That's about the 49ers as an organization.
They believe they have a great situation, from infrastructure to personnel, which is something Harbaugh touted as well. If Harbaugh wants to be there, terrific for all involved. If he doesn't, then the 49ers would be confident moving on. Nothing is forever in the NFL; it's the price of doing business. But make no mistake: The 49ers aren't having fleeting thoughts of a future without Harbaugh.
"He is a damn good football coach, and he works extremely hard at what he does," Baalke said of Harbaugh's future. "That's certainly an area that needs to be addressed, and will be addressed, and is being addressed. But as far as putting a timetable on it, there is no timetable in effect. I think that's the most I want to say on it."
Look, maybe I'm totally wrong. Maybe the 49ers snowed me on a story they didn't know I was writing ahead of time; I requested to talk to Harbaugh for a Baalke story and he didn't flinch at giving me time. But my overriding thought leaving the 49ers is that Baalke and Harbaugh have a fine working relationship as far as the NFL goes, and they'll continue to work together for a while longer. They're just two highly competitive and confident guys who don't possesses the warmest of personalities and don't do a lot of hugging and mugging for the cameras, which means their relationship can be easily misconstrued.
"How do you define long term?" York said when asked about the perception that the Baalke-Harbaugh relationship might not be sustainable. "My uncle Eddie [DeBartolo] and Bill Walsh, between one firing and one quitting, I think [those types of clashes] happened seven or eight times in like a 10-year run. So I don't know what sustainable means in people's minds. I think both these guys are in the primes of their career and have the ability to work together for a very long time. It remains to be seen whether that happens, but the results have been proven on the field.
"I don't think there are many better combinations than Trent and Jim as a GM-head coach relationship, and I think they realize they work pretty well together. The results speak for themselves and they know what the other one does. … They realize it may not be perfect but they really respect each other and they do like working together. They might get heated once or twice a season. But when you're competing for a Super Bowl—it's football. To me, it's part of it, it's good and it's healthy."
1. The other major issue hanging over the 49ers is outside linebacker Aldon Smith's myriad legal issues. There's a lot of concern for Smith the person, and Smith the football player isn't really a consideration at this point. The team doesn't know what's going to happen on the legal end, but as far as football goes, it seems that Smith will at some point become an active member of the team again. Though that may take a while. And it won't happen unless Smith makes meaningful progress away from football.
2. It will be really interesting to see if Falcons general manager Thomas Dimitroff goes ahead and trades up from the sixth spot to land defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. There's no question Clowney would fill a huge need for Atlanta, but are the Falcons so close to contending for a Super Bowl that it would be smart to use more draft picks to acquire one player? No one will ever question Dimitroff's intestinal fortitude, that's for sure. Between the Julio Jones trade and a potential deal for Clowney, his tenure is either going to be boom or bust, with not much room for error. (Speaking of the Falcons, is it a good omen or a bad one that two churches are being demolished to make way for the team's new stadium?)
3. If Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton doesn't get the contract extension he wants before the season, he'll certainly get a chance to prove his mettle with a tougher slate of games than Cincinnati's tied-for-No. 23 strength of schedule shows. How's this for quarterback matchups: Andrew Luck, Joe Flacco (twice), Ben Roethlisberger (twice in December), Matt Ryan, Tom Brady, Cam Newton, Drew Brees and Peyton Manning, plus Alex Smith and Carson Palmer going against his former team. Both the Falcons and Texans should be much better than last year and give that schedule a boost. Go get that money, young man.
4. Great stat from ESPN.com's Mike Sando: "The Minnesota Vikings have selected 61 players since Rick Spielman took over their draft room in 2006. Eight of the 61 have earned Pro Bowl honors. The Green Bay Packers have drafted 87 players since Ted Thompson became their general manager in 2005. Seven of the 87 have become Pro Bowlers. That's 13 percent for Spielman and 8 percent for Thompson." Although I'm cautious to measure anything with Pro Bowl selections, this does go toward proving the old adage that if you don't have a quarterback, you don't have anything.
5. Tough break for Broncos fans and Peyton Manning fans: Because of construction on the team's training facility, there were will be no fan access to training camp, according to Mike Klis of the Denver Post. The team will, however, have three practices at Sports Authority Field at Mile High, where admission and parking will be free.
Wow, Bedard; you couldn't have gotten it more wrong. There obviously was and is a power struggle and it looks like Baalke won.
Rather than knocking Greg Bedard here, I think we should be throwing a few roses his way.(Hopefully, he won't wear those in his hair.)Bedard's column above has a fragrance of candor, which is refreshing.There's no fiction, no hyperbole, and no over dramatization.There's no transparent effort to generate website clicks.Rather, it strikes me as a simple, straightforward assessment of the Baalke-Harbaugh relationship.If York, Baalke, Marathe, and Harbaugh opened their door to him hoping for a fair shake, then Bedard didn't disappoint them or his readers, who want an honest, fact-based appraisal not tainted by an agenda.
"There's a lot of concern for Smith the person, and Smith the football player isn't really a consideration at this point."
Had to chuckle at this. Why all the concern from the organization for "Smith the person"? Because he's an elite football player. If he wasn't it's pretty clear the niners would have cut him loose by now. They put up with him and embrace him and care so much because of the returns on the football field he provides with his play. They need to look out for him else he's not going to be performing on the field for them. You can't separate the man from the football player. What a naive statement.
It is 100% not true that the A. in Greg A. Bedard stands for a-hole.
If I were a team looking for a GM, Baalke might be somewhere on the list, but looking for a coach who also understands the importance of the QB, Jim Harbaugh would be at the top of the list.
Their relationship is irrelevent. Until the 49'ers start pumping their players up with Adderral, they will come in second to Seattle....
Summary: Harbaugh's as much an ambulatory defecation as he appears.
Is it just me or does it look like those two guys go to the Castro District wearing azz-less chaps?
In my opinion NFL Head Coaches are like QBs... having a great one goes a long way toward winning a SB & the great ones are few n far between. Now I'm not saying Jim Harbaugh is a " great " . He needs to win a SB or 2 before being considered great but he's well on his way .
One way to prove it - pay Harbaugh what he is clearly worth. Then follow it up by paying Kaepernick what he is clearly worth. Then draft a fast WR and a tall CB. The rest will take care of itself.
I would think New England is the only NFL club where the head coach and general manager are always in agreement.But the way I see it, two heads are indeed better than one, and a little "head butting" here and there promotes a healthy partnership, which I think exists in San Fran.
P.S.Nice touch on this column's title, a rather obvious tip of the hat to the song, "San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)."
GM's do not win games
That horse is not dead yet??
Why are we still talking about this? Let's prepare for the draft. Stop reaching for stories.
The 49ers act as though their organization is so strong they can get along perfectly well with or without Harbaugh as coach. They need to be reminded that the York-Marathe-Baalke triumvirate couldn't even field a winning team until Harbaugh showed up.
@Ocean_State_Patriots_Fan - it's not "candor" if he completely missed the fact that there was massive tension between the two.
@Mike N It's just you.
@shoota79 Wait – You need a "great" coach to win the Super Bowl, and the definition of a great coach is "one that wins the Super Bowl or 2?" Nice circular reasoning there.
@alhmiel1 Seriously? Your contention is that the guy whose job it is to put players on the team doesn't have a role in winning games?
Are you stupid, trolling (badly), or both?
no, great GM's and executive structures win games over several seasons, in all sports....
GM's and owner/GM's that may have "helped" win one or two Lombardi trophies, not just one or two games..
Ozzie Newsome, Ted Thompson, Sam Presti, Andrew Friedman with the Rays, Seinfeld's own Steinbrenner, Dr. Jerry Buss, Al Davis, Bill Belicheck is in fact the Patriots GM and that side of him has won just as many game... R.C. Buford for the Spurs (did you think Pop found Tony Parker and Ginobli while coaching 120 games a year and doing angry interviews? ), Ron Howard has been the NHL's gold standard at GM for the Detroit Red Wings since 1983 with nine different coaches while his team has been the most consistently great teams in the league...
every cog has a part to play on a sports franchise, and apparently yours is "Padwan"
@AllThingsConsidered It's a zombie-- a brainless animated corpse that refuses to die.
Totally agree,
This dog has been beaten & put to rest months ago. Nothing like the Media regurgitating "alleged" story lines.
The Draft is a week away & the Major Topic should be about who the 49ers Short List is for Pick #30.
@Phroggo But they made the Harbaugh decision. You act as though those 3 were at the helm for a decade or longer. Brush up on your 49er history before your post.
Marathe is in his fourteenth year with the Niners, York and Baalke are both in their tenth year with the Niners. The last three, since they hired Harbaugh, were their only winning seasons.
@evileyefleagle @JimCody@ImpeGoodWell since McCloughan is/was an alleged drunk and involved in other activities the 49ers didn't like they got rid of him. Yes McCloughan drafted some good players but that is much easier when you are picking in the top 10 to 15 of the first round.
It shows just how good of a coach Harbaugh is in that in a strike shortened season he and his staff came in and made the 49ers play better than they did in almost a decade.
Baalke was head of college scouting for them before promoted to GM.
Try as they might, Marathe, York and Baalke could not put a winning team on the field until they hired Harbaugh. And that's, simply, a fact.
They've been a power group within the organization for a decade and managed to force out Scot McCloughan who went to the Seahawks. How'd that work out?
