Kip's Corner: BEARCATS GAIN REGION GROUND IN CALIFORNIA
Despite losing a hotly contested double overtime battle against The Master's College on December 30th, Willamette University's Men's Basketball team enjoyed a successful trip to Southern California, posting consecutive blow out wins against a pair of Division III West Region Opponents.
Behind a 9-11 3-point shooting performance in the first half, WU cruised to an 81-61 win at Whittier, followed by a 71-33 trampling of Cal Tech. WU now gears back up for the conference season, starting with a critical weekend in Washington. The Bearcats battle Whitworth College in Spokane, WA at 8 pm on Friday, followed by a trip to Walla Walla, WA and a Saturday date with Whitman College. Willamette is 2-0 in NWC play.
WU continues its resurgence defensively, ranking 2nd in Points Allowed (68) and first in both FG% Allowed and 3-PT FG% Allowed. WU is also the league leader in Rebounding Margin and Defensive Rebounds.
Offensively, sparked by John Olinger and CJ Stuvland, WU is #2 in FG% and #3 in Scoring Margin.
Individually, aside from Olinger's impressive season to date, Stuvland is averaging 16.1 ppg while shooting 40.4% from behind the arc. Jason Luchterhand is shooting 60.7% from the floor, and Ian Mansfield is #6 in rebounding at 6.7 per game.

SG John Olinger Robbie Andrus

Captain John Olinger was named Honorable Mention Player of the Week in the NWC, following 32 and 33 point outbursts in California. On the season, Olinger is currently #2 in the NWC in scoring at 19.3 points per game, while also ranking among the conference leaders in 10 other categories. Olinger was also named the Statesman Journal newspaper's Athlete of the Week.
Whitworth and Willamette have enjoyed an intense rivalry over the past few seasons, with each team securing wins on each other's home floors (snapping long win streaks in the process) and meeting twice in the NWC tournament (both Whitworth wins). The Pirates and Bearcats meet for the first time this season on Friday, followed by a Salem encounter on February 3rd.
In the past 10 years, WU has managed to sweep the Whitworth/Whitman trip only once. During the 2001-2002 season, led by 1st team All-NWC picks Ryan Hepp and Marques Johnson, WU defeated both Whitman and Whitworth on the road. That team, however, eventually lost to Whitworth in the semifinals of the NWC tournament (in Salem).
Whitworth and Coach Jim Hayford are currently 7-3 on the season, and 1-1 in conference play. The Pirates are lead by Lance Pecht (16.6) and Jon Young (14.9) in the scoring department, and lean heavily on PG Bryan Williams, a 3-year starter. Whitworth swept the Bearcats a year ago (both games being decided in overtime).
Whitman College stands at 5-4 on the year, 1-1 in the NWC. Coach Skip Molitor's team is being paced by Matt Kelly's 19.4 ppg (tops in the NWC) and Erik Kofler's 15.5. The Missionaries split with the Bearcats a year ago, with each team winning on the other's home floor.

Leading lady makes national debut in 'My Fair Lady' at StranahanWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | firstname.lastname@example.com
Aurora Florence has had a whirlwind year.
The 22-year-old graduated from college and got married before embarking on a national traveling tour of "My Fair Lady" as leading lady Eliza Doolittle this fall.
Florence, who graduated in June from Brigham Young University with a degree in musical theater, said she feels blessed to be working in her first "real job" so soon after graduation.
"It's really wonderful," Florence told Toledo Free Press Star from a tour stop in Lakeland, Fla. "I've learned so much. Eliza is such a deep character. There's so much there to work on from an acting standpoint, so I feel like I'm learning so much."
Luckily, the newlywed didn't have to leave her husband behind to follow her dream — he is traveling with her as an ensemble member in the show.
"It's been very tiring, but really a lot of fun," Florence said. "It's so nice to have my husband here with me, for sure."
"My Fair Lady" opens Dec. 15 in Toledo at the Stranahan Theater, 4645 Heatherdowns Blvd., as part of the Broadway Series presented by the Theater League.
Performances are set for 8 p.m. Dec. 15 and 16, 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. Dec. 17, and 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Dec. 18.
Based on George Bernard Shaw's "Pygmalion," "My Fair Lady" is the story of Eliza Doolittle, a Cockney flower girl who overhears a phonetics professor boast to a friend that he could give her speech lessons and pass her off as a proper lady. The professor, Henry Higgins, was joking, but when Eliza takes him seriously, he agrees to the challenge. During the process, Higgins falls in love with Eliza, while Eliza learns that some people will treat her poorly no matter how well she speaks, while others will treat her well no matter how poorly she speaks.
Memorable songs include "Wouldn't It Be Loverly?" "I Could Have Danced All Night," "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" and "Get Me to the Church on Time."
"I love getting to sing 'I Could Have Danced All Night,'" Florence said. "That's really a treat. Sharing it with the audience is a lot of fun."
With Eliza having been portrayed by iconic leading ladies Julie Andrews on Broadway and Audrey Hepburn in film, Florence went into the role knowing she may have big shoes to fill in people's minds.
"Approaching it, I certainly was aware of all that, but I tried to not let it touch me," she said. "There's no way I can beat either of them. I just tried to approach the character as honestly as possible."
Florence grew up near Sacramento, in Loomis, Calif., where her mother runs a nonprofit theater company called Take Note Troupe. She grew up listening to musicals and watching both parents perform, but it wasn't until she saw a tour of "Les Miserables" in high school that she decided she wanted to pursue theater as a career.
Florence said she can relate to Eliza's journey of discovering who she really is and learning to stand up for herself.
"I think having the strength and the courage to overstep class boundaries and be true to who she is, I certainly relate to that," Florence said. "I think it's a struggle all people go through in how to be true to who they are and to recognize boundaries and restrictions and when they are there to keep you safe and when they should be disregarded."
Florence said audiences will enjoy the romantic comedy.
"I think they will definitely laugh; it's a really funny show," Florence said. "You'll have a great time. We have a really talented ensemble and a really solid group. I think they can go away feeling inspired to treat people the way they deserve to be treated and also be true to themselves."
Tickets range from $23 to $58 and are available by calling the Stranahan Theater box office at 866-381-7469, Ticketmaster at 800-982-2787, or online at www.theaterleague.com.

text: The Pete Wisdom wiki last edited by Comicbookman26 on 05/29/15 04:14PM View full history OriginPeter Paul Wisdom was born to Harold Wisdom and his wife in London, England. He has an older sister named Romany. His parents are divorced. His father is a retired detective sergeant and criminal profiler for New Scotland Yard. His mother was later killed by a spree killer named Michael Ryan who shot Pete's mother while she waited for her son at the window.CreationPete Wisdom was created by Warren Ellis and Ken Lashley, and first appeared in Excalibur #86 (1995).Mayor Story ArcsExcaliburThe happy couple Black Air sent Wisdom to investigate an uprising of free mutates in the island nation of Genosha as a representative of the British government along with the mutant team Excalibur. After the conflict, Wisdom returned to Muir Island after he was injured during the uprising by a newly developed type of ammunition. To investigate the source of this ammunition, Wisdom traveled back to London with Kitty Pryde to infiltrate a Black Air facility.In the facility, Wisdom discovered that Black Air was collecting alien artifacts for use in combat and cross-genetic experiments on human subjects, which were performed in conjunction with the London branch of the Hellfire Club. During the investigation, Pryde and Wisdom encountered the alien race who referred to themselves as the Uncreated. After defeating the aliens and destroying the Black Air facility, Wisdom returned to Muir Island with Pryde, with whom a mutual attraction was beginning to develop.After his London experience, Wisdom left the Black Air organization and was admitted as a member of Excalibur. Wisdom was also instrumental in bringing Black Air down when, in concert with the Hellfire Club, the corrupt organization captured the techno-organic entity known as Douglock and used him as a living conduit to a demon that resided under the streets of London.X-ForceX-ForceShortly before Excalibur disbanded, Wisdom ended his relationship with Shadowcat and left the team. Wisdom later resurfaced in Genosha where he was attempting to retrieve a CPU from a satellite that had crashed on the island. The CPU was, in fact, the disembodied brain of Archie Fogg, an old friend of Wisdom's, with the ability to remotely link to and control any sort of machinery. Aided by X-Force, Wisdom opposed Magneto and managed to download Archie into an android body.Six months later, Wisdom reappeared again, this time as leader of X-Force. Wisdom utilized the team as a strikeforce against Black Ops organizations and establishments. He also helped members such as Jesse Bedlam, Boom Boom, and Warpath advance upon their powers and abilities.Wisdom was seemingly shot and killed by Doctor Niles Roman during X-Forces' attempt to stop Romans bio-slaves from destroying San Francisco. It later turned out this was all a hoax, to try and keep enemies of his back.New Excalibur and MI:13New ExcaliburWisdom later joined some of the X-Men to form the newest incarnation of the British super-team Excalibur. Consisting of Juggernaut, Captain Britain, Dazzler, Nocturne, Sage, Pete Wisdom and for a while the Black KnightAfter M-Day, Wisdom was forced into an arranged marriage with a fairy named Tink to prevent a fairy invasion of Earth. Tink was a part of the original line up of the government team lead by Wisdom to counteract supernatural, alien and other strange happenings that threatened Britain, known as MI: 13.MI:13Pete Wisdom and his team defended Britain from threats such as interdimensional aliens, re-awoken giants and the Welsh Dragon before the beginning of the Skrull Invasion of Earth. Pete's MI: 13 team joined forces with Captain Britain and Spitfire to fight off the invading Skrulls. In the end, Pete was responsible for banishing the invading Skrulls from Britain and it's magical counterpart, Avalon but as a result he released all the magical and supernatural evil that had been imprisoned in Avalon.Now Pete is the director of MI: 13. Directly reporting to only the Prime Minister himself, Pete has the authority to request help from every super powered individual in the United Kingdom. At the moment, the core MI: 13 team is made up of Captain Britain, Spitfire, the Black Knight, Faiza Hussain, Blade and Wisdom himself. Pete Wisdom continues to lead MI: 13 against the magic evils that threaten Britain. Pete has lost many friends and allies, always making the difficult choices that others don't want to make. This has had a huge effect on his psyche and he feels responsible for the pain and suffering of all those he comes into contact with.Still reeling from the betrayal of Captain Midlands Pete was attacked by the forces of Dracula and is now beginning the job of leading Britain and MI: 13 in a war against the deadly vampire commander in which he was successful and saved Britain.Pete helped out the new X-Force some months later, still working for MI: 13. Powers and AbilitiesHot knivesPete Wisdom has the mutant ability to absorb solar radiation, and use this stored energy to create "hot knives".His hot knives are solid constructs made of pure thermal energy, in his own words 'hotter then the surface of the sun', which he can either throw as projectiles or use anchored to his fingertips for close range combat. While he seems to prefer using his hand, he can shoot these 'knives' from any part of his body.He can also create a thermal updraft to slow his fall. Wisdom is highly intelligent and is a skilled leader and tactician, as well as an experienced fighter.Alternate EarthsEarth-1610In the Ultimate Universe, Pete Wisdom is known as the Leader. As an agent of British Intelligence, Wisdom was obsessed with the recent influx of super powered heroes in the United States. He was convinced that it was in Great Britain's best interests to have their own team of super soldiers and he continually fought to have this team officially sanctioned by his department head. Finally, being given a short window of time to complete the super soldier process Wisdom uses himself as the first test subject, injecting himself with a combination of Tony Stark's DNA and Bruce Banner's super soldier stack. This results in his cranium and brain matter growing to a size so larger that he is no longer able to support his own head. From this point on he is in a wheel chair and has to have his head supported by metal brackets that rest on his shoulders.. He soon comes into conflict against Iron Man and the Hulk.In the ensuing battle he is crushed by a remote control Iron Man suit and then pummeled by the Hulk. A missile intended to stop the Hulk instead destroys The Leader while the Hulk leaves the scene.

a causal link between an intervention and the observed outcomes (internal validity) and later in the chapter is on threats that may limit the generalizability of the results (external validity). With respect to the level of certainty of causal inference, Campbell and colleagues emphasize that researchers need consider only threats to validity that are plausible given their specific design and the prior empirical research in their particular research context (Campbell, 1957; Shadish et al., 2002). Table 8-2 presents common threats to the level of certainty of causal inference associated with several major quantitative designs.
After researchers have identified the plausible threats to the level of certainty in their research context, several approaches may be taken to rule out each identified threat. First, features may be added to the design to prevent the threat from occurring. For example, a key threat in many designs is participant attrition. Shadish and colleagues (2002) describe the importance of retaining participants in a study and point to extensive protocols developed to maximize retention (see Ribisl et al., 1996). Second, certain elements may be added to the basic design. Appendix E presents several examples in which elements are added to a variety of basic designs to address those specific threats to the level of certainty that are plausible in the context of the design and prior research in the area. Shadish and Cook (1999) offer an extensive list of elements that can be included in a wide variety of research designs (see Box 8-4).
To illustrate, in the pre-experimental design with only a pretest and posttest, discussed in Appendix E, one plausible threat to a study's level of certainty is history: another event in addition to the treatment might have occurred between the pre- and posttests. Consider a year-long school-based intervention program that demonstrates a decrease in teenagers' smoking from the beginning to the end of the school year. Suppose that during the same year and unrelated to the program, the community also removed all cigarette machines that allowed children to purchase cigarettes easily. Adding the design element of replicating the study at different times in different participant cohorts would help rule out the possibility that the removal of cigarette machines rather than the school-based program was responsible for the results. If the school-based program were effective, reductions in smoking would have occurred in each replication. In contrast, removal of the cigarette machines would be expected to lead to a decrease only in the first replication, a different expected pattern of results. Matching the pattern of results to that predicted by the theory of the intervention versus that predicted by the plausible confounders provides a powerful method of ruling out threats to a study's level of certainty.
Campbell's approach strongly prefers such design strategies over alternative statistical adjustment strategies to deal with threats to the level of certainty. It also emphasizes strategies for increasing researchers' understanding of the particular conceptual aspects of the treatment that are responsible for the causal effects under the rubric of the construct validity of the independent variable. Shadish and colleagues (2002) present a general discussion of these issues, and West and Aiken (1997) and Collins and colleagues (2009) discuss experimental designs for studying the effective-

A messy combination of falling and blowing snow is winding down after making travel difficult in parts of Wisconsin.
Numerous spinouts kept law enforcement agencies busy in eastern Wisconsin Friday morning where the wind off Lake Michigan caused heavy drifting.
Dozens of school districts decided to give students a long weekend, including Green Bay, Manitowoc, Oconto Falls, Wautoma and Wild Rose. The University of Wisconsin-Manitowoc also called off classes.
Snow totals include 7.5 inches in Manitowoc, 7 inches in Merrillan, 5.8 inches in La Crosse and 4 inches in Appleton.

Read-In Celebrates Women's History Month - March 14Posted Mar. 12, 2012
Area residents are invited to join Kent State University-Salem students and faculty in a Read-In to celebrate National Women's History Month. The Read-In will take place in the Salem Campus Library from 12:30 to 1:30 pm on Wednesday, March 14th.
Readers will share favorite selections from writings that speak to the role of women in shaping American history, culture, and politics. The contributions of local women and communities as well as national honorees will be recognized.
The 2012 theme is "Women's Education – Women's Empowerment." It honors the accomplishments of women such as Emma Willard, Charlotte Forten, and Annie Sullivan whose lives testify to the theme.
Opportunities for girls to gain a basic education increased in this country after the American Revolution. However, that education was based largely on the premise that, as mothers, women would nurture the minds and bodies of the (male) citizens and leaders. This idea persisted for a long time and access to college and professional education remained limited. The closing of the gender gap in higher education is relatively recent. It owes much to Title IX the Higher Education Act passed in 1972 and enacted in 1977.
The Kent Salem Read-In is sponsored the Library and the Diversity Advisory Committee.
For more information about the program or about the Kent State Columbiana County Campuses please call 330-332-0361 or go to www.col.kent.edu.

ZIMMERMAN, Minn. (AP) - Authorities in Sherburne County say a mother and her two children have been found dead in a home in Zimmerman, and police are not looking for suspects.
Sheriff Joel Brott says the bodies were discovered Sunday about 10 a.m. by a family member. He says all three people were dead when deputies arrived a few minutes after the discovery was reported.
The dead were identified Monday as 35-year-old Stephanie Shields, 7-year-old Nolan Shields and 6-year-old Josephine Shields. The bodies have been taken to the Ramsey County medical examiner's office for autopsies.
Zimmerman is about 40 miles northwest of Minneapolis.

Quick and easy recipes
This week we have a special guest post from The Comfort of Cooking. Georgia, the blog writer for this blog has shared with us some smart ways to tackle your tasty recipes by preparing the ingredients essential to cooking a delicious dish. Click after the cut for ways to be a smart and fast cook with some of your basic kitchen tools such as a citrus reamer or wooden spoon!
Now from Georgia! :
At my blog, The Comfort of Cooking, the recipes I share are consistently easy, tasty and full of flavor. What I want to share with YOU are a few of my favorite "How-To's" that keep the cooking process simple and guarantee delicious results every time.
I hope you enjoy these tips and try one of them, or all of them, at home in your own kitchen!
How To Boil Potatoes Faster
Peel, or leave the skins on, and quarter about 3 cups of potatoes, get that pot on the stove to a rolling boil, plunk in the potatoes, and add 2 tbsp. olive oil, 1/2 tsp. salt and 2 tbsp. balsamic vinegar. These three ingredients combined cut the boiling time in HALF – no kidding. In about 15 minutes, you'll have potatoes that are soft and ready for mashing!
How To Make Caramel
Warm a large saucepan over medium heat. Pour in 8 tbsp. white sugar. Wait about 5 minutes for it to melt.
Stir the melting sugar with a wooden spoon until it is completely melted. Stir again for 5 minutes, until the melted sugar has turned brown. It should look somewhat like honey. Do not burn it.
Remove the pan from the heat and VERY slowly drizzle in 4 tbsp. water while stirring.
Let the caramel cool down a little. Drizzle over your favorite dessert or drink, and serve.
How To Make Seasoning Salt
For an easy, all purpose seasoning salt that's good on meat, veggies, potatoes, fish and poultry, try this: For 2-1/2 cups' worth, combine 3/4 cups chili powder, 1/2 cup each… table salt, ground black pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, 1/4 cup each… paprika, dried parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, cayenne powder, allspice, ground cumin.
Pour into an airtight jar, label with ingredients and store in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Keep up to five months.
For a quick chicken/meat marinade, add 1 tbsp. seasoning salt to 3 tbsp. olive oil, stir and turn meat to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 1 day.
How To Make Seasoned Breadcrumbs
Preheat oven to 400 degrees, and grab a stale loaf of crusty bread. Slice the loaf into thick strips. Gather the strips together and cut into small cubes. Place the cubes on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes. Once baked, the cubes should be crunchy and golden brown in color; Place them in a re-sealable plastic bag.
Add seasonings of your choice (I used a little salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried parsley). Roll over the plastic bag with a rolling pin until you have the desired fine texture.
Store in an airtight container for up to one month, or in the freezer for up to three months.
How To Make Whipped Cream
In a chilled, medium-sized bowl and using chilled beaters, beat 1 cup heavy whipping cream until it begins to thicken. Add ¼ cup powdered sugar and ½ tsp. vanilla, and beat until soft peaks form. Store in the refrigerator.
That is all there is to it! There are hundreds of variations that you can make for this basic recipe (add chocolate, orange flavor, lemon flavor made from lemons squeezed by a citrus reamer, almond, mint… ), so get creative!

Pay Attention, or Pay the Consequences
Every interview with the neighbor of a heinous criminal seems to start with "He seemed like such a nice guy." Further questioning usually reveals that the neighbor never really noticed the man, with the neighbor ultimately admitting, "He kept to himself." In fact, there were probably many clues that Mr. X was not such a nice guy after all. It's just that no one ever paid much attention.
Decisions are no better than the information on which they're based. Incorrect or incomplete information can lead to an incorrect conclusion—garbage in, garbage out. So before you can effectively read people, you need to gather reliable information about them. You can do this by using your eyes, your ears, and at times even your senses of touch and smell. When people fail to be attentive and focused, the consequences can be regrettable.
It's not hard to recall occasions when we've been inattentive to important clues. We may hire a day-care provider without spotting the faulty latch on her backyard fence, noticing how she ignored the children under her care as she spoke to us, or paying attention to her poor grammar. Yet each of these factors could have a critical impact on our child's well-being and development. We may not notice the flushed face and ever-so-slightly slurred speech of an employee who returns from a long lunch, but these may be clues he's been drinking—maybe drinking too much. This type of critical information is usually available to you—if you just take your time and pay attention.

Arrangements by Burthey Funeral Service.
Joseph Farmer, Jr.
DURHAM — Joseph Farmer, Jr., age 76, passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on March 19, 2014.
A pioneer in the development of cochlear implants and hyperbaric and diving medicine, and a devoted physician, scientist and leader, Dr. Farmer was a treasure to his profession, to Duke and to the countless patients, trainees and colleagues who had the good fortune to cross his path.
Dr. Farmer, a native of Henderson, North Carolina, came to Duke in 1955 as an undergraduate, then stayed for medical school, his surgical residency and a fellowship in thoracic surgery. After serving at the National Cancer Institute, he returned to Duke and joined the division of otolaryngology-head and neck surgery, where he remained for his whole career. He served as division chief at Duke for more than a decade. Dr. Farmer also served at the Durham VA Hospital for more than 20 years.
Dr. Farmer co-founded the Duke Hearing Center and the cochlear implant program, one of the first of its kind in the world. Under his energetic leadership, this program provided first-rate clinical care and pursued pioneering research that paved the way for the extraordinary devices available today. In the early 1980s, little was known about how to restore hearing for a totally deaf person using electrical stimulation of the auditory nerve. Dr. Farmer and his team filled gaps in the knowledge and developed progressively better ways to transmit speech and other sounds to people who were previously deaf. Through his contributions, he provided hope and hearing to countless individuals worldwide.
Dr. Farmer also was a pioneer in hyperbaric and diving medicine, contributing significantly to research on the inner ear response to diving. Always an active leader at Duke, during the latter part of his career he co-led the Medical Center's Institutional Review Board for Clinical Investigations and helped make it a model for IRB programs nationally.
A revered and respected teacher and mentor to many now-eminent physicians, Dr. Farmer was known by colleagues for his dedication to the profession, his kindness, his commitment to collaboration and his intellectual spirit. But his greatest joy was always his patients, and his devotion to them was always returned in spades.
Being a physician was important to him; equally important were his roles as husband, father, and doting grandfather. He met his wife, Margery, who survives him, when they were students at Duke University. They married in Duke Chapel in 1957. He is also survived by his son Tom, daughter-in-law Shauna and three granddaughters, Suzanne, Catherine, and Elizabeth. He was preceded in death by his parents, Joseph and Bettie (Eatman) Farmer, and his oldest son, Joseph Farmer, III.
A memorial service will be held in Duke Chapel on Wednesday, March 26, at 3pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that you consider donating to the Joseph Farmer, III Memorial Fund at the Durham Academy Development Office, 3601 Ridge Rd, Durham, NC 27705 or the Duke Hearing Center, care of Kristina Bowman, Duke Medicine Development, 710 W. Main St, Suite 200, Durham, NC 27701.
The Farmer family is under the care of Howerton & Bryan Funeral Home. Online condolences may be submitted at www.howertonbryan.com. Select Obituaries.

Halved chicken and turkey breast in the smoker.
Smoked for twelve hours and as tender as medium-rare roast beef, the brisket is as good as any in town. Brisket is a cut that's prone to dryness, which makes PM's preparation all the more impressive, given that they slice the meat about a quarter of an inch thick, not paper thin, allowing a smaller margin for error.

Mock trials help high school students prepare in future careers
Coastal Bend students will take on the roles of attorneys and witnesses
CORPUS CHRISTI - Holly Raiborn practices law, but her passion is politics.
Raiborn has played a witness role for her high school mock trial team for two years. While she's toyed with the idea of studying law, she said the mock trials have prepared her for her future dream career — becoming a senator.
"The public speaking skills really apply to my future," she said. "It's an interesting opportunity because a lot of times the academic programs at the school don't test public speaking skills and this utilizes different interests."
Coastal Bend students will take on the roles of attorneys and witnesses in the annual regional high school mock trial competition Saturday.
Teams from Calallen, Carroll, Collegiate, Flour Bluff, Gregory-Portland, Incarnate Word Academy, John Paul II, Moody, Ray and Tuloso-Midway high schools will compete at the Nueces County Courthouse for a chance to win scholarship money. Tuloso-Midway returned to the competition this year and Moody High School will compete for the first time.
Organizers will award $6,700 in scholarships to students who perform the best in their courtroom roles. Since 2007, more than $41,000 has been given in scholarships.
Raiborn, a junior at Calallen High School, received 1st place for her witness role last year and won $500.
"Witnesses can make or break a case," she said.
Will Steen, a Carroll High School senior, hopes his witness role also will prepare him for his future. Steen plans to pursue a law degree.
"I really want some insight in court proceedings and how cases are broken down," he said. "I would like to attend law school and hope to be an attorney, so being a witness can offer a different insight."
More than 44 attorneys volunteered to either judge or help coach the teams. Four state district judges and a former county court-at-law judge also will help judge the nearly 95 students.
State District Judge Missy Medary, who will help judge the final round, said the students' dedication shows in how well-prepared and versed in the law they are during competitions.
"Their enthusiasm is both admirable and quite invigorating," Medary said. "It's a nice reminder of how exciting the practice of law is."
Students also will be treated to a dinner sponsored by Sico, White, Hoelscher & Braugh law firm after Saturday's competition.
Attorney Tim Dowling, one of the event's longtime organizers, described the mock trial as creative learning.
"It's a lot of fun to see the growth in maturity, poise and confidence with students," he said. "It's a very different learning experience from taking a test."
The top two winning teams will travel to Dallas in March for the state finals.
What: The public is invited to attend the competition and see the mock trials in action.
Where: Nueces County Courthouse, 9th floor courtrooms and 347th court, 8th floor
When: Round times are at 8:30 a.m., 11 a.m and 1:45 p.m. Championship round at 4:45 p.m.

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills
The Real Housewives Get Goofy in a Beverly Hillbillies-Themed Photoshoot (PHOTOS)
It may be all catfights and drama on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, but that doesn't mean the ladies can't kick back and have some fun!
Putting their bickering aside one afternoon, Lisa Vanderpump, Taylor Armstrong, Adrienne Maloof, Brandi Glanville, Yolanda Foster, and the Richards sisters got dolled up in their finest overalls and cowboy boots for a goofy Beverly Hillbillies-themed photoshoot for In Touch magazine.
The ladies seemed nothing but happy while hanging on the set, although there were still a few diva moments to be had. "I was happy to see everyone getting along," Brandi said. "Even though some people needed to be in separate rooms."

6 - 7 September 2014
The balmy weather of an Indian summer, fields full to bursting with exhibitor stands and a record number of visitors contributed to make this year's International Autojumble the perfect Beaulieu.
The event retained its cosmopolitan feel with thousands of European and overseas motoring enthusiasts joining the British contingent for the 48th International Autojumble, held in the parkland of the National Motor Museum on the 6th and 7th of September.
Total visitor numbers over the weekend were 39,071, the best since 1992. The Autojumble was another sell-out for stand spaces with a waiting list of hopeful exhibitors, which is a very healthy sign for the future of the event. The final total number of stands was 2,431, which included 293 cars for sale on the Beaulieu Arena and in the Dealermart classic cars area.
Beaulieu's Events Manager, Judith Maddox said: "We are delighted with the success of this year's show with record visitor numbers and many exhibitors reporting their best year ever for sales. The whole weekend had a vibrant energy with the camaraderie of the Beaulieu Autojumble community never more in evidence, a good indicator that the whole autojumble movement continues to prosper."
There were plenty of interesting vehicles ready to be snapped up in the Automart, including a 1921 Ford Model T truck complete with American licence plates for £8,500, a 1934 three-wheeled Morgan Super Sports with an exposed V-twin engine at £38,000 and a beautifully preserved 1949 MG YT Tourer, one of less than 900 produced. The little known French marque, Amilcar, was represented by a re-built aluminium bodied 1925 example at £25,500. Its current 'lofty' owner recommends it to potential owners of a shorter stature!
A pair of classics from 1963 was a Riley Elf Mk l with a modest 65,000 miles on the clock for £4,950 and a Ford Cortina Mk l, fully restored to replicate the special edition Lotus Cortina, at £15,000. Other classics included a 1971 Morris Minor 1000 for £2,950, a 1973 Austin 1800 'Landcrab' restored to rally specification at £4,995 and a modern classic 1988 Porsche 911 Carrera with an asking price of €45,000.
Among the American classics were two customised cars, a 1940 Ford Mercury Coupé, modified with a Chevrolet V8 engine at £23,995 and an attention grabbing 1963 Ford Thunderbird, a high-profile 'West Coast' custom, built in California in 2002, with a sale price of £24,000.
A more quirky offering was a 1976 Trabant Kübelwagen, a fascinating example of East German design, on offer at £7,500 which came complete with original fittings, including spades and ammo boxes! Much more expensive was a fully reconditioned 1950s Bristol Lodekka London Bus with a price to match its size - £165,000.
By Saturday lunchtime many cars were already displaying 'Sold' signs, including a fully roadworthy 1937 Peugeot 302, a Rolls-Royce motor hearse, a classic 1972 Jaguar XJ6 Series l and a 1960 Armstrong Siddeley Star Sapphire.
The top selling lot at the Bonhams sale, held on Saturday, was 1920 Vauxhall 30-98 two-seater with Dickey coachwork which fetched £242,300, over £60,000 above its top estimate.
A 1961 Jaguar E-type 3.8-litre Roadster, a rare 'Flat Floor' example last used on the road in 1992 and needing total renovation, attracted a lot of interest and sold for £77,660, almost four times its top estimate. Another restoration fetching a high price was a 1957 Aston Martin DB Mark lll which had been off the road since 1971. It exceeded its £60,000 top estimate by over £30,000.
A 1923 Vauxhall OD 23-60hp Kington Tourer, a former Southampton taxi which had languished in a North London garage for almost 30 years and now awaits sympathetic restoration, sold for £55,200, almost double its estimate. An official replica of the iconic Lambretta LI 125 'Jimmy' scooter that featured in the cult 1979 movie Quadrophenia went for £10,350.
Bonhams Motor Car Specialist, Rob Hubbard said: "We were delighted to be back at Beaulieu for another exceptional sale showing good strength in the market place. With 127 vehicles, 35 motor cycles and 174 lots of automobilia in the auction and over 84% of the lots sold on the day, a Premium total of £3.3 million was reached. As always, the Beaulieu Autojumble weekend continually achieves record prices and a high level of sales."
Trunk Traders was a Sunday highlight, popular with exhibitors and visitors alike, with amateur jumblers bringing a fresh injection of stock onto the showground. The free delivery service, taking large or heavy items bought at the Autojumble back to the car parks, was kept busy throughout the show.
The winner of the Best Stand was Tim Hodgekiss with his stand selling electrical parts and accessories for vintage and classic cars. Tim and his wife Sue, from Norfolk, are Beaulieu exhibitors of long standing and have been coming to the Autojumble for over forty years. They were commended by the judges for a well laid out stand, providing essential electrical components.
Lord Montagu presented Tim and Sue with a trophy donated by Lolly Lee, in memory of her father, Terry, a keen autojumbler who spent his life looking for rare items of interest. In addition to the trophy and a Ringwood Breweries hamper, they will receive a free stand at next year's International Autojumble.
The team from the event's media sponsor, Practical Classics, kept visitors entertained in their workshop tent. In tribute to Donald Campbell, who broke the World Land Speed Record in Bluebird CN7 in 1964, and Beaulieu's new Land Speed display For Britain & For The Hell Of It, the PC team started to build their own record breaker – the fastest car ever to be constructed at a Beaulieu Autojumble!
PC Editor, Danny Hopkins explained: "We set out with a Lanchester LD10 chassis and Kaiser engine with overdrive gearbox sourced at the Spring Autojumble and during the weekend fitted a number of components including a Zenith carburettor, found on the fields for £20 within ten minutes. A vital component, a new head gasket, was also tracked down, enabling the car to be fired up at the close of the show.
"We aim to complete the build with streamlined aluminium bodywork at the next Spring and then take the 'Beaulieu Speedster' to a secret location for an attempt to break the 60mph barrier, which is actually the top speed of the Series One Land Rover built at Beaulieu 11 years ago. We've set ourselves a tough challenge this time, but even if we fail, we will have had fun trying."
New Forest based Ringwood Brewery ran a popular bar throughout the show. Among the beers on offer were Beaulieu Best and an ale specially brewed for this year's' Autojumble - Old Sump. They also donated three hampers of their products, one of which was presented to Andy Lee of R&D Classic Car Spares for the quirkiest stand with a topical take on this year's Rio World Cup, complete with Christ the Redeemer - a useful landmark in the showground.
A selection of photographs from the weekend can be seen on our Flickr page.

Carthaginians & Romans Festival
From: 2015.09.21 To: 2015.09.30
Official website:
The Murcian city of Cartagena compresses two-hundred years of history during the Carthaginians & Romans Festival. Talk about a crash course in history! But this festival isn't only for history buffs, it manages to captures the moments in history that defined modern Spain in a way that is entertaining for all. If even the thought of history makes you sick then spend the day watching the circus and chess tournaments. The festival begins with the lighting of a sacred fire followed by a deluge of re-enactments, including everything from bloody battles with the Roman Empire to the wedding of Hannibal. After even more battles and victory marches, the festival closes with the extinguishing of the sacred flame, which in reality puts out one flame and starts another in the form of a flurry of fireworks that follow. To find out which side actually won, you'll have to attend.

Joy Lin Hall
Director of Admissions
I have been at Rogers State University since 2004 and have loved it from the very beginning. My first position here at RSU was Prospective Student Services Representative, and for three years I pioneered RSU's recruitment efforts in central Oklahoma by building relationships with high schools in that region.
In 2007, I transitioned to the role of Retention Coordinator and worked to increase the number of students who attend through graduation. During that time, I also assisted with the admission and advisement of RSU students.
Most recently, in 2010, I became the Assistant Director of Admissions. My primary responsibility is now to give oversight to RSU's recruitment team. In addition, I coordinate the co-enrollment of career technology students and actively recruit high school and transfer students to the university.
During my years at Rogers State University, I have remained active on campus, serving on committees for the Honors Program, the President's Leadership Class, and Lunch and Learn. I also have served as co-coordinator for Commencement ceremonies and have been an adjunct instructor for The College Experience. I have the privilege of advising Epsilon Sigma Alpha, a student organization that focuses on service and leadership.
The most important aspect of my life is my faith, and because of this I am very involved in DestinyLife Church in Claremore. I love to sing on the praise and worship team and help lead retreats. Hillcat Basketball is one of my favorite winter pastimes, and on game days I can be found yelling on the front row across from the RSU bench. My hometown is Prague, OK, and I still go back to the Kolache Festival every year to polka dance in the street. Even though I do not get to travel very often, I enjoy it and have been to Europe twice.
My passion is helping students find the best educational match for their specific sets of talents and desires. I believe that college can be the best and most important time in a person's life, and I want to make sure each student takes every opportunity to succeed academically, professionally, and socially.

If I had to eat this food everyday I would rather starve. After an afternoon of shopping, I was hungry, very hungry. After walking by the restaurant the decor caught my eye. Looks can be deceiving that's for sure. I ordered a fish dish and the ingredients didn't compliment it at all. The same thing with my husband's duck entree. The sauce that was on my fish should have been on the duck and visa- versa. The appetizers was such a teeny tiny portion. What a waste of money! And I was born in Thailand. Very disappointed :(

Great vegetarian thai dishes. Their dumplings are amazing. I'm glad they offer seitan too, and not just tofu like most thai places. Pukk used to be my favorite thai place, now this is!

My fiance is pretty picky about his Thai food (= he doesn't really like any of the places in Park Slope - including Song), but he loved this place. He ordered the chicken burrito (yes, with a Thai flair) and the chicken curry and he was was totally into both of them. My meal was incredibly fresh and had wonderful flavors - the sauces and spices didn't overpower the food. This is one of the few places that does a fresh summer (garden) roll in rice paper well (i am a big Vietnamese food lover). Overall - it's a good meal with fast delivery in the Slope.

I went here on a lark with my friend tonight. We were pleased to see that the food was cheaper than the restaurant's facade implied, and that it was very delicious. We started with their Jeeb Thai Dumplings (a little different than the posted menu, they're served in lemon sauce) and they were fantastic, I'd definitely recommend them. Our mixed drinks were a bit lackluster. My basil fried rice was tasty but not outstanding my friend had the panang curry and it was much better, spicy and tasty and plentiful. The service was deliberately relaxed and pleasant, we weren't rushed out of the restaurant even with 10 people waiting at the door for a table. Well worth the price and I don't regret anything we ordered, although I'll have wine with my dinner next time.

I've had completely different experiences with dining at the restaurant and delivery. Dine-in has always been tasty, good service, nice atmosphere. The two times I ordered take out, it took FOREVER even though I'm only about ten blocks away, the food was cold and greasy, and items were left out with not much help from the staff when I called about it. If you're looking for a quick, cheap bite, it's a good place to stop just stay away from the delivery!

I highly recommend this little thai gem! It's owned by the same people who own Mango Thai but I usually trek out to South Slope for this, definitely worth the cab ride over. I really can't stress enough how amazing the pancake appetizer is! I would go just for that! Every time I've eaten there the experience has been better than the last time. It's at the top of my favorite Brooklyn restaurants list.

UT's Page, Thomas named to preseason award watch listsWritten by Zach Davis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Toledo wide receiver Eric Page and running back Adonis Thomas have both been named to preseason award watch lists.
Page, a junior out of Springfield High School in Toledo, is one of 40 players in the nation to be named to the watch list for the Walter Camp Award, given to the nation's top player of the year. Page and Northern Illinois' Chandler Harnish are the only two Mid-American Conference players listed.
Page received First-Team All-American honors as a kick returner last year. He ranked fourth in the nation in return average (31.8 ypr) and led the nation with three return touchdowns.
He also tied for fifth in the nation with 94 catches at receiver for 1,081 yards. He was selected as First-Team All-MAC at wide receiver and kick returner.
Thomas, a senior from Newark, N.J., is one of 51 rushers from across the country selected to the watch list for the Doak Walker Award, which is given to the top running back in the nation. Thomas was the lone MAC member among the 51 named.
Thomas earned Second-Team All-MAC honors last season leading all rushers with 1,273 all-purpose yards and eight touchdowns. Temple's Bernard Pierce received First-Team honors last year for the second-consecutive season despite finishing with 458 less yards than Thomas.
The lists will be narrowed down to 10 semifinalists on Nov. 11 and the winner will be named live on ESPN on Dec. 8.

SB 16 Forum at Wheaton Warrenville South High School
Ives: What Suburban Taxpayers Should Know about SB 16
Published in The Wheaton Leader, October 8, 2014
Senate Bill 16, which has passed in the Illinois Senate and is awaiting debate in the House, will make sweeping changes in how the state funds education. In most suburban school districts, the bill will have a severe, negative impact. State education is currently funded by several sources – federal, state and local. SB 16 consolidates 83 percent of Illinois' education resources and redistributes according to a formula devised by Senate Democrats and Democrat House leaders.
As an example of how SB 16 could impact us locally, this bill will take $9.8 million away from Community Unit School District 200, an 82-percent drop in state funding, or the equivalent of funding for 132 teachers. The result will potentially be teacher layoffs and/or property tax hikes through a referendum.
Most importantly, SB 16 is a money grab designed to prevent Chicago's severely underfunded teacher pension system from collapsing under its own weight at the expense of suburban schools. The legislation has a provision allowing any local resources used by a board of education for payments into a public school teachers pension fund (for normal costs) to be deducted from their local resources available when calculating their available local resources for formula purposes. This provision will have the effect of increasing their Per Pupil Aid Grant by an amount equal to that pension payment. No other district gets this type of relief.
Additionally, suburban members of the House Elementary and Secondary Appropriations Committee, both Republican and Democrat, were not invited to recent meetings about SB 16, even though taxpayer-funded staff from the Illinois State Board of Education were involved in the discussions.
Finally, and perhaps most discouragingly, the Senate sponsor of the bill admitted through testimony that he never looked at how the underlying factors that feed the formula are determined, such as equalized assessed value and poverty count. This is unacceptable.
I do not disagree that the school funding formula needs adjustment. In fact, I have advocated for a change in the funding formula that would promote equity, efficiency and excellence.
Sen. Michael Connelly and I invite you to join us on Oct. 9 at 7 p.m. in the Wheaton Warrenville South Auditorium for a forum on SB16 and the future of education in Illinois. We will be joined by ISBE Superintendent Chris Koch, ISBE CFO Robert Wolfe and other area legislators and superintendents. Please let these state officials know how you feel.
Jeanne Ives is the Illinois state representative for District 42.
Crain's Chicago: Madigan Quietly Gathers Lawmakers to Discuss School Funding
September 5, 2014
(AP) – A number of top Democratic House lawmakers have been quietly meeting to discuss a proposed overhaul of Illinois' dated school funding formula, which, if approved, would direct more state money to poorer rural districts at the expense of wealthier suburban districts.
Members of the group told The Associated Press the meetings came at the behest of House Speaker Michael Madigan, whose chamber declined to take up the issue last spring despite its passage by the Senate and widespread calls for the first revamp of the formula in nearly two decades.

Thank you: The Movement Continues
Dear Friends,
As we head into our campaign's "eleventh-hour," I want to take a moment to say 'Thank-You' for your support. Thank you for the work that you did – going across neighborhoods to knock on doors and put up yard signs. Thanks for making phone calls, sharing emails, donating funds, and convincing friends and family to join our team. Most of all, thank you for believing in me.
As you cast your ballot tomorrow, please know that to me this is more than just a campaign – this is a movement. I have worked hard and will continue to work to bring your voice to Springfield and to advocate for the tax-payer at every decision-point – whether special interests like it or not.
We are united in our mission to hold Illinois to a higher standard. I believe that better days are ahead. Together, we will work to renew Illinois' promise and restore Illinois greatness.
Thank you for your vote and for joining me in holding Illinois to a higher standard. The Movement Continues.
Illinois Citizens for Ethics Endorse Ives
"Dear Jeanne,
I am pleased to inform you on behalf of the Illinois Citizens for Ethics Political Action Committee that we once again officially endorse you for your Republican primary campaign for state representative in the 42nd district.
We continue to be impressed by both your background and your commitment to the mainstream values important for life and family that ICE-PAC promotes. You have served your district with great distinction in your first term, speaking truth to power and working hard to bring transparency, fiscal responsibility and a legitimate moral compass to our state's public policy.
With your experiences at West Point, in your military service, as a mother, and as a member of the Wheaton City Council, you are well-equipped to continue being a visible advocate for policies that promote the family…"
Naperville Sun: 42nd District Candidate Spar Over Unions
"Ives minces no words about how Johnson came to challenge her: public sector unions. 'They found someone, and it happened to be him,' she said…"

The Truth about the Race in House District 42
Dear Neighbors and Friends,
We have run a positive campaign on the issues that affect all residents. I continue to shape policies in Springfield that will turn this state around and am making headway in a super-charged political environment and against all odds. Here are two links that speak to my perseverance.
Chicago Tribune – She champions taxpayers… Ives is endorsed."
RedState – Illinois Republicans Need More (Like) Jeanne Ives
Unfortunately my opponent is desperate to discredit me since he has no practical background for the position he seeks.
Voters should know the truth about Johnson.
He told others, "he was offered a lot of money to run against me" – by the public sector unions.
Here are his recorded union donations this year from the State Board of Elections:
3/4 Associated Firefighters $2,500
3/3 IPACE (teachers union) $20,000
2/26 IL federation of teachers $5,000
2/24 West Suburban Teachers Local $1,000
2/26 University Professionals of IL $1,500
2/3 Associated Firefighters Pac $2,500
As someone deeply indebted to the public unions, he would vote for their agenda and
The Unions Want:
- Progressive Tax Hikes on Your Income
- Taxes on Financial Transactions
- Taxes on Retirement Income
- Spending Increases
- AND No Transparency
Taxpayers should also know he asked for and was granted a 2-month leave of absence from his government job to campaign. If he knocks at your door in the middle of the day, it is because he is not working for the taxpayers which he was hired to do.
Mr. Johnson wants you to believe he cares about state fiscal policies, but he has only contacted me once as a legislator, when I received postcards from both him and his wife advocating for gay marriage.
In keeping with his campaign's dependence on the misrepresentation of facts, Mr. Johnson claims that I voted against a bill that would have protected taxpayers by implementing a property tax freeze. On this point, he simply doesn't understand the issue. Local boards should be held to account for their spending by local taxpayers - and your local boards can freeze, or lower, property taxes any year they want to. As we know, government is most effective on the local level. Over the decades the unions have made demands at the state level that increase costs at the local level. A better way to control property taxes is to freeze and eliminate certain state mandates and return control to the local elected boards who were elected by their local constituents. I recognize there is a balance to be struck between protecting taxpayers by limiting powers of locals, which we do with PTELL and through other regulation, and allowing full control. I weigh that protection and control with every vote I take. Furthermore, I take the tax-payer into consideration at each decision-point, and read past talking points to assure that I have voted responsibly. Let's be clear, at this point in our state's history with the overreach of state mandates, this decision needs to remain at the local level. That being said, I do not believe property taxes should be increased with falling EAV's.
On your behalf I have filed bills that will control spending, provide local control, reform taxes and regulation, and provide more transparency.
Feel free to share this page with others. I ask for your vote on March 18th in the Republican primary. Send a message to the Public Sector Unions that they will not be your voice in Springfield. For more information, my website is http://www.ives42.com/.
Best Regards,
Jeanne Ives
The Movement Continues – Hold Illinois to a Higher Standard
Ives Introduces Transparency Bill
Ives Introduces Collective Bargaining Transparency Bill
Ives' bill would require all newly negotiated contracts between unions and public-sector employers (school districts, cities, counties, the state, etc.) to be posted on the public body's website for at least 14 days before any action is taken.
"Contract provisions aren't just about pay, they're also about work structure and time off and sick day accumulation, everything that adds to the cost of the contract, so we need to know whether or not we can afford it," Ives said in an interview. Currently, units of government believe they are not required to release such contracts until after they have been approved.
After a tentative agreement is reached, negotiators for both sides usually take the stance that it's none of the public's business what the contract contains. The taxpayers who foot the bill traditionally aren't allowed to see it until the union members ratify it and the board or council casts its vote in the affirmative.
As Sauk Valley News stated, "… The need for secrecy – if one even recognizes that need – no longer exists after a tentative contract is reached. The negotiating has ended, and neither side can gain an advantage from disclosure.
And certainly, after the public employees vote to ratify, the school district gains no advantage by keeping the details under wraps."
"This is not something that just I'm calling for," Ives said. "It's something that the media – and certainly taxpayers – have been demanding."

The difference between iPad and Toshiba Windows tablet commercials
A while back we compared and contrasted the way Apple was selling the iPad -- as something experiential -- to how carriers were marketing Android tablets -- as spec lists. Now Toshiba has released a new series of ads for their Windows tablet that go in an entirely different direction. Buzzefeed has posted four of them. Here's a sample:
And here's Apple's new iPad ad:
Now I don't find anything aesthetically objectionable about a good looking woman doing yoga, and I'm from Montreal where we're far from puritanical so I have no problem with cleavage or entendres double, triple, or quadruple. But I also worked in marketing for a decade and what I do have a problem with bad marketing.
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that some percentage of Toshiba's target audience finds these ads funny and/or titillating, how does that translate into tablet sales? Would you buy a Toshiba tablet over an iPad because a woman in yoga togs bent over it? Or is Toshiba's goal simply to raise awareness that they have tablets, and get articles like this one written about them?
If there's no such thing as bad press, have they succeeded? Or have they only succeeded in hurting their brand?

The difference between iPad and Toshiba Windows tablet commercials
No, a nice set won't get me to buy a windows tablet. It will, however, get me to watch more windows tablet commercials...
And just to add. Why is it that others show aliens, sexy woman(not that I mind this) Apple store line ups etc etc. Instead of showing what the thing does and how it works. Like the Samsung commercial I just saw on tv. About the Samsung series 9 with a cowboy shooting down the MacBook Air. Why not show what make it better than the air? If there is anything at all. Kinda like the old Samsung instinct commercial did with the iPhone.
They're YouTube videos. YouTube has been supported by iOS since 2007. They're supposed to detect the device and send the right video. I'll check and see if there's any way for us to force it, but I'm on Mac Safari with no Flash installed and I'm getting HTML5 video fine.
Works fine on my iPad.
Hmmm... Maybe, they sould make another commercial using the "tablet" as a door stopper or paper holder.
They jdon't know how to market. Point blank. That's all there is to it. I didn't even watch the whole thing.
I'm wondering whose idea it was to use the tablet as "extra weight" in the pose shown in the start keyframe of the tension video. Doesn't this send a message that your tablet is heavier than the competition?
The video reminds me of the Palm "zen" commercials but with a female most guys don't mind looking at.
In the end, this is becoming more like the superbowl for me. I pay attention only to catch the commercials.
Pretty half-assed. If you want to do a sexy ad, do a sexy ad. If you want to do a lifestyle ad, do a lifestyle ad. Don't try to do half sexy-ish and half lifestyle-ish.
Another problem with putting a cute babe in an ad is that men will remember only the babe and women will remember only that they were threatened / insulted by the hot babe. The product itself gets lost in the noise.
That first commercial was weird. I wouldn't want to watch it with my wife or my kids. But with the Apple commercials on TV before I bought my iPad, my children told me things like - "Hey Dad, that's that new iPad you want right? It looks so cool - you should get one!" I doubt they would have the same reaction with the Toshiba commercial.
Seems like they're trying harder to get people to focus on the woman and her cleavage than the actual tablet. A good ad would show what the tablet can do, what makes it stand out from other competitor tablets, and at the same time make it easily understandable by the mass basically dumb it down like Apple does with it's ads. Bad marketing technique IMO.
what a pathetically sad attempt at marketing to lonely men. i will never purchase another windows product, especially not a tablet, and even if for some reason i did, it sure as hell wouldnt be a toshiba. this is just a disgrace to the practice of yoga, and a sad attempt at using sex appeal to to sell an underperfoming headache in a box. want a tablet? get an ipad. plain and simple. there is a reason the competition is trying so hard, the ipad works. if youre going to try to sell me a windows tablet at least show me why its competitive. dont distract from it with a pair of tits. we can see those anytime. if im buying a piece of electronic equipment i want to see it perform.
Marketing is all about being to see yourself with the product. I can't see myself sharing any experience with yoga girl (unless I got a note from my wife) but can absolutely immerse myself in reading a book to my child, editing photos, and sharing information. The pad becomes the tool you experience life with, not the experience itself.
Rene, I've always thought your posts were excellent, and today's is no exception. "But I also worked in marketing for a decade and what I do have a problem with bad marketing." THANK YOU! I couldn't agree more. Yes, yes yes! ...but... uhm... well... Ashley's Monday Briefs come to mind... her shirts keep getting tighter and tighter.
I'm not criticizing this post at all, by the way. You're absolutely right. Toshiba doesn't know anything about 21st century marketing. Most companies don't. But one thing everybody knows: sex is an easy way to at least get noticed. If Ashley wore appropriate attire, I wonder how much her clicks would drop?
I happen to love Ashley's Monday morning interludes and is always a great intro to my work week.........only difference is she does not appear on an national advertising campaign.
Ashley, Glory Be to Jah and what Jah has blessed you with.

These are a few of my favorite things
Don't you just love it when you're traveling, and it's 6 p.m. and you're starving, and you're on a country road, and it's 92 degrees outside, and suddenly you come to a complete stop, seeing cars stopped for miles in front of you and there's nothing around except an occasional cow and some trees, and for some reason the folks going the other way are zipping by, no problem, looking at you with gleeful smirks, and you don't know how or whom to call to find out what's going on?
And then I love it when not one, not two, but THREE dashboard lights suddenly go on, one of them the "Brake!" light, the other two totally indecipherable, but you're on the way to the mountains, and navigating a mountain road with no brakes is more excitement than you want, so while you're sitting there you page through your owner's manual (which you keep in the door well on the opposite side of the front seat, so you have to unbuckle your seatbelt and stretch across the middle console, three empty water bottles, the mail you picked up on the way out of your driveway, your purse, your book-on-tape, your Subway leftovers, and four bags from Cracker Barrel to retrieve it) and then you read: "If 'Brake!' light is on, and emergency brake is not engaged, stop IMMEDIATELY and find the nearest Toyota dealer." And, "If 'ABS' light is on, see Toyota dealer; if 'Brake!' light is on at the same time, stop IMMEDIATELY and find nearest Toyota dealer." And, finally, "If 'DSC' light is on, as well as the 'ABS' light, and God forbid the 'Brake!' light, too, stop IMMEDIATELY, leap from car and run into traffic, or face immediate annihilation!!"
Now stopping is no problem. You're already stopped, and folks are getting out of their cars all around, peering down the road, talking to each other, tossing the football, spreading picnic blankets … it's the finding of a nearby Toyota dealer that's the challenge, because you, personally, don't even know where you are, and people give you that pitying look when you ask them, "Where am I, exactly?" ... not that I ever do that ... but, after 10 minutes of sitting, this is what you do, not leaving the car, of course, because as previously mentioned, it's gotta be 92 %$#@ DEGREES OUT THERE, which is why you're going to the mountains in the first place, so you lower your window and call out to the nearest picnicking motorist, and he says there's one about 25 miles – behind you.
It's really fun to sit there running your car in the blinding heat, determined to blast the air conditioner as long as it holds out, trying to decide what to do, wondering how long your gas will last, berating yourself for drinking all the water and eating that last Subway cookie, because everyone knows that in cases like this pretty soon people run out of food and water and start looking at one another as if they are giant pork roasts, and all you have for protection is a spare bottle of perfume you keep in the glove compartment that you could temporarily blind someone with, or a hanging bag that is so heavy it would crush anyone on which it fell.
And don't you love that moment when you see everyone jumping back into their cars, because you're starting to roll, and you send up a prayer to St. Christopher, patron saint of travel (because even if the church has dethroned him, you aren't taking any chances), and you put the car in gear and move exactly 13 feet before stopping again, and the folks coming the other way aren't sneering any more, but are downright laughing as they pass. You're really getting steamed and vowing to contact the head of the highway department if you ever get out of this, and raise holy hell because certainly whatever is going on up the road could be handled by simply allowing oncoming traffic to flow for a while, then letting our side go up their lanes for a while, and it shouldn't take a frickin' Harvard degree to figure that out, am I right?!
And, my absolute favorite is when you finally do get to a stop-n-roll status, and it takes you 38 minutes to go 3 ½ miles, but finally there's a mini-mart, and you go inside for directions back to the Toyota place, and buy several bottles of water, two bags of trail mix, and a can of Beanie Weenie ... uh, please, like I ever eat Beanie Weenie ... and head back the way you've come, and after 15 miles you just happen to notice that all the dashboard lights have gone off, and the car is just fine.
Yeah, I love that.
