The Minor League Baseball Promo Seminar, an annual event held soon after the conclusion of the season, has long had the slogan "Where one idea is worth the price of admission."
Alternative slogans could include "Minor League Baseball: Where intellectual property theft is encouraged;" "Take my concept, please;" or, most succinctly, "Steal this idea." The point of the Promo Seminar, this and every year, is simply to share best practices among peers. Since Minor League teams don't compete with one another -- each team operates within a controlled geographic area -- the industry subscribes to the general theory of "a rising tide lifts all boats."
The Promo Seminar, organized by the Minor League Baseball head office in St. Petersburg, Florida, always takes place in a Minor League Baseball city. This year's locale was Columbus, Ohio, home of the International League champion Clippers. For three long days (and longer nights, for this is a group that never says no to another round), the Columbus Convention Center served as an incubator for the best and boldest ideas that the industry has to offer.

Free baseball
The Promo Seminar kicked off on Tuesday, Sept. 29, with a presentation by Ken Schnacke, president and general manager of the host Clippers. Though the bulk of his presentation was concerned with ways to extend the "honeymoon" period of a new ballpark, Schnacke also took the time to explain his team's unorthodox ticketing strategy in the International League playoffs. Contradicting the long-held industry truism that free admission devalues the product, the Clippers did not charge fans to attend each of their final three postseason home games.
Schnacke said that the idea to allow fans in for free was one borne of frustration. Game 4 of the semifinal series took place in Columbus in front of an announced crowd of 2,468, with the Norfolk Tides rallying for a 6-5 victory to tie the series 2-2. The stadium atmosphere in the game's late innings was grim and uninspired, and Schnacke was determined to not let that happen again. Up in the press box, he said "Tomorrow, we're letting the fans in for free."
That they did, as the Clippers won the series in front of a crowd of over 10,000 fans. The team hosted the first two games of the finals in each of the next two nights, drawing an additional 20,000 supporters. The Clippers won both games, and eventually won the league championship in five games over Indianapolis.
Schnacke said that the lost ticket revenue had to "be made up from another pocket" and that they did so via money made from increased concession and souvenir sales.
"The key thing was [the fans] came," said Schnacke. "Almost to a man, the players told us that they biggest reason they wanted to win was because of the energy of those fans."
Nursing an idea
The latter part of Tuesday was spent in smaller Group Therapy sessions, which allowed for a more informal and interactive brainstorming environment. Kristen Call, senior director of marketing for the Myrtle Beach Pelicans, moderated a session entitled "Taking Timely Advantage of Pop Culture Phenomena." During this session, participants shared their best pop-culture promos and debated strategies regarding how to best capitalize on current events. After hearing about 2015 highlights such as the Pelicans' Deflate Cancer Night (a satirical and charitable response to the Deflategate scandal) and the Hickory Crawdads' Dad Bod Night, attendees to the session devised a new theme night on the spot.
This theoretical exercise was based around a recent pop-culture controversy. The View co-host Joy Behar mocked a Miss America contestant for doing a monologue while wearing nurse scrubs and a stethoscope. Behar's dismissive attitude toward the nursing profession resulted in a veritable boatload of internet indignation. So how to capitalize?
Ideas included players wearing scrub jerseys, a pregame "Miss Nurse" parade and pageant, stethoscope giveaways, a life-size game of Operation, Jell-O specials at the concession stand, extending an invitation to Behar and Miss Colorado to attend a ballgame, sashes for all between-inning contest winners and much, much more.
No idea was too outlandish, and that's the point. As with all creative endeavors, the main object was simply to throw everything at the wall and see what sticks -- metaphorically speaking.
Pass the mic
No Promo Seminar would be complete without the Around the Horn segment, which took place Wednesday morning under the watchful, albeit easily distracted, eye of emcee Todd "Parney" Parnell (vice president of the Richmond Flying Squirrels). The premise is simple -- the microphone is passed around the room, with a representative from each team in attendance sharing their most innovative promotion of the season. After an impassioned monologue from Parney about his love for Minor League Baseball ("I just want to remind all of us that our lives kick [butt]."), the idea-sharing began in earnest.
It'd be an insufferably lengthy exercise to list all of the highlights from this nearly three-hour exercise, but ideas included:
Frederick Keys: Having the players wear Rugrats jerseys and "pickle" pants, with 15 of the uniforms given away via an in-stadium raffle.
Lake Elsinore Storm: Playing off their annual minimalist exercise that is Nothing Night, the Storm staged Everything Night at the end of the season. The evening was an anything-goes mashup of the season's best promos, from theme nights to giveaways to food and drink specials.
Bowling Green Hot Rods: The Hot Rods partnered with a local radio station to host Nickelback Night. Fans were given a "nickel back" upon entering the stadium, and then were able to use that nickel as a way to vote if Nickelback should continue to be played over the PA. The answer was, perhaps inevitably, a resounding "no."
Of course, sometimes the best promotions aren't conjured up by the front-office staff. Nate Teut, professional pitcher turned Iowa Cubs assistant general manager, wryly noted that his team's biggest revenue generators were "Kris Bryant, Kyle Schwarber and Addison Russell."
One of the few non-Minor League Baseball speakers was Jeff Eldersveld, director of customer relationship management (CRM) and analytics for the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets. In front of an unfamiliar crowd, Eldersveld lightened things up with a state-centric joke.
"Have you heard of Engagement, Ohio? It's between Dayton and Marion."
It ain't over 'til...
At the end of his presentation on "Creating Unique Partnerships," Brooklyn Cyclones assistant general manager Gary Perone paid tribute to Yogi Berra by invoking a quote apropos to the occasion.
"If people don't come to the ballpark, how are you gonna stop them?"
Who me?
Apologies for not including highlights from Thursday's portion of the seminar. The bulk of the morning was spent preparing for and then delivering my own presentation, which recapped my 2015 season of ballpark travel. I'll refrain from delivering my own commentary on how it went -- my perspective is skewed -- but my 11:50 a.m. presentation has been widely hailed as having the greatest title in Promo Seminar history: "Lunch Can Wait: I Know You're Hungry, But It's Not My Fault That the Speakers Before Me Went Long."
As it turned out, my presentation took place right on time, but why let the facts get in the way of a "good" joke?

Final Push After Relaxing Weekend
Mmmmm. The weekend was glorious. Stolen were a few hours of quiet time watching the shooting stars with hubby, pedicures with Nana, sitting on the deck with the puppy and partaking in an impromptu water balloon fight with the kids. It was great to slow down from the crazy pace of packing to spend time with those we love. With three days to go I've recharged my battery for what will no doubt be a busy and emotional three days. Egypt, the Osborne's are on their ...
The bug has struck again. Having spent the evening hearing about the recent adventures of my travel partner in crime, I'm ready to jump on the plane tomorrow. Forget about the clothes and toiletries I haven't packed yet, or the house cleaning and visiting that is on my "to do" list. I'm ready to go. Now. Everything that was important enough is done. 8 ...

Ten days! Our amazing adventure is about to begin. We hope to blog about our sightings and surroundings over the next year. Keeping an open mind, we expect to experience culture shock and the hope is we will embrace it with some humour.

Friday 27/2 - Had a cheaufered look around Kingston today starting with Fort Henry and a good view down over the CBD. We could not get into the Fort itself as it's closed over winter. Back into the main street of the city then a walk down and back up the main street. We stopped half way for a warm up drink & food at 'Sipps' cafe which looked out onto a public skating rink behind the Town Hall. Only a few people skating and we ...

Life is so hectic. Everyday we're busy with work, everywhere is crowded with people, there's a lack of peace and quiet.
Coming to Kingston, a peaceful and quiet city.
I was still complaining about its lack of life and activity, regretting that I didn't choose a more "hapz" place for my exchange. I was jealous of my friends' active night life and weekend travelling to the different cities in Europe or the US.

Dome of the Rock Christmas Ornament
Personalized Christmas Ornament
Dome of the Rock is a shrine located in the Old City of Jerusalem on the Temple Mount and is steeped in religious traditions because of the Foundation Stone at its heart. Intended to act as a shrine for pilgrims and to house Muslims from the cold and heat, it was never meant for public worship. The octagonal outer side structure walls are made of porcelain and the dome is Byzantine art mosaic and marble that took seven years to complete. The Knights Templar believed that the rock was the site of the Temple of Solomon and so today many visit this work of art. The personalized Dome on the Rock ornament is a glittery blue and gold masterpiece.
Material: Polish Glass

Pine-Richland's Bridgham, Fox Chapel doubles team win PIAA tennis titles
TribLIVE Sports Videos
HERSHEY — For years, Pine-Richland's Marlys Bridgham heard how wonderful the girls state tennis tournament was. Early losses in the WPIAL tournament, however, kept her from qualifying.
She always faced older opponents — Bridgham lost in consecutive years in the WPIAL tournament to Upper St. Clair's Megan Adamo, who would out hit or out rally her.
And so she entered her senior season more motivated to reach the state tournament and, by her admission, having matured.
Her first trip to Hershey ended with a PIAA Class AAA singles championship Saturday after she beat Methacton sophomore Mihaela Codreanu, 6-1, 6-4, at Hershey Racquet Club.
It's the first girls state tennis title for Pine-Richland.
"This year, I was able to play my opponents in both WPIALs and states the way I wanted to," Bridgham said, "and that got me to where I wanted to be."
She had to overcome some of her old troubles. Bridgham cruised through the first set and took a 4-1 lead in the second, but Codreanu battled back, winning three of the next four games.
"Playing that first game was very scary for me because I knew if she could win that first game, she could get momentum and then it would change the whole dynamic of the match," Bridgham said.
"She started to loosen up, and then I felt the tension and pressure. That final game, I needed to relax and pull that out and become the looser player."
Mt. Lebanon's Callie Frey finished third with a 7-5, 7-6 (4) win against Wissahickon's Maureen Devlin.
Fox Chapel duo holds off North Allegheny rally
Fox Chapel coach Alex Slezak spent weeks telling his doubles team of Lacey Cohen and Laurel Shymansky to be aggressive when they're in trouble in a match.
The advice proved beneficial Saturday afternoon. The sophomores beat the North Allegheny duo of Maddy Adams and Tina Li, 6-3, 6-7 (3), 7-6 (1), in the PIAA Class AAA doubles championship match.
The doubles title was the Foxes' first since 2004 and second in program history.
"Being clutch is not hitting the shots in the moment," Slezak said. "It's being willing to dive into pressure and hit the big shots. They were willing to do that today."
Cohen and Shymansky defeated Wissahickon's Katherine Devlin and Christie Cesarini, 6-1, 1-6, 6-4, in the semifinals Saturday morning.

The Copycat Epidemic | Design Aglow
Wedding, Photographer, Blog Design, Drawing
You're nobody until somebody copies you, right? Maybe a client screen-grabbed your online gallery instead of buying digital files. Maybe a new photographer is offering to shoot weddings at a quarter of the price you charge. Maybe you noticed another photographer's "about me" page looks suspiciously similar to yours. Maybe every time you shoot in a new location, your closest competitor seems to shoot in that exact same location the following week.
They say there's nothing new under the sun, but that's a misleading saying. There's a big difference between drawing inspiration and flat-out copying.

California Governor Signs Nation's Toughest Fracking Regulations
The nation's toughest restrictions on a controversial oil drilling technique known as fracking were signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday.
The nation's toughest restrictions on a controversial oil drilling technique known as fracking were signed into law by Gov. Jerry Brown on Friday.
Hotly opposed by the oil industry, the measure "establishes strong environmental protections and transparency requirements," the governor said in a statement.
At issue in the hydraulic fracturing measure is the injection of sand, water and chemicals to free oil and natural gas trapped in shale deep underground. The oil industry heralds the technique as a way to boost domestic oil and gas production; opponents contend it is unsafe and endangers underground drinking-water supplies.
Her bill, SB 4, is the sole survivor of a half-dozen fracking proposals in the Legislature this year. It requires permitting of wells, notification of neighbors living near drilling, groundwater testing and a study of fracking's impact on the environment. It takes effect Jan. 1, 2014.
The bill also would set rules for a related technique involving the shooting of acid solutions into the wells to release hydrocarbons.

TORONTO — Catcher Jeff Mathis has agreed to a $3 million, two-year contract with the Toronto Blue Jays for 2013 for 2014.
Mathis, a former Salt Lake Bee, will earn $1.5 million in each of the next two seasons. The deal includes a $1.5 million team option for 2015. There is no buyout.
Traded to Toronto from the Los Angeles Angels in December, Mathis is batting .215 with nine doubles, six homers and 19 RBIs in 46 games. He has one error in 305 chances.
An eight-year veteran, Mathis is a career .196 hitter with 32 homers and 158 RBIs.
PETTITTE NOT SURE WHEN — OR IF — HE'LL RETURN: Andy Pettitte says recent X-rays on his broken lower left leg look better than they did last month but he's still not sure when he might be cleared to throw off a mound.
The New York Yankees pitcher was in the clubhouse before Tuesday night's game against Texas and said he realizes that if he has another setback, his season is "probably over." Pettitte needs time to rebuild arm strength before October if he wants to be included in a potential postseason rotation.
"I plan on getting him back," Yankees manager Joe Girardi said.
Pettitte had X-rays on Monday. The 40-year-old left-hander has been sidelined since June 28 after he was hit by a line drive. His ankle swelled up last month in Seattle while he was trying to rehab, delaying his recovery.
FUENTES PUT ON RESTRICTED LIST: The St. Louis Cardinals have placed relief pitcher Brian Fuentes on the restricted list after the left-hander told the team he needed time off due to personal reasons
Right-hander Trevor Rosenthal was recalled from Triple-A Memphis for Tuesday night's game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
The 37-year-old Fuentes signed as a minor league free agent last month and has appeared in six games, totaling five innings.

Skurken is the artist name of Jóhann Ómarsson, an electronic musician based in Reykjavík.
Someone described Skurken's music as 'cheesy, fucked up pop music with dramatic 80's-influenced string parts'. He could be right, although Skurken tries not to analyze his creations too much. Skurken's influences include everything from corny 80's ballads to late 90's drill&bass and old computer game themes. And probably elves…

Yesterday, Jon Paul Morosi of Fox Sports reported that the Los Angeles Angels and the Pittsburgh Pirates had discussed a trade that would have sent Garrett Jones to the Angels, and catcher Jeff Mathis to the Pirates. Mathis has a .195/.241/.286 line at the plate this year, and isn't exactly the best defensive catcher, with a 23% caught stealing rate this season. Morosi mentioned that the Pirates decided they couldn't part with Jones and his power, which broke down the trade talks.
It's unknown if this would have been a one-for-one swap. Such a deal wouldn't make sense for the Pirates, as Jones has more value than Mathis. I would also guess that, with the recent performance of Michael McKenry, the Pirates probably aren't looking as hard for a catching replacement. However, the fact that Anaheim was interested in Jones is interesting, as it's the second year in a row the Angels have pursued Jones.
Last year, the Angels asked about Jones, only to be told that the Pirates wanted Macier Izturis in return. Considering that the Angels have been linked to Jones two years in a row, I wouldn't be surprised if we hear another rumor. At the same time, it seems like the Pirates have a higher value of Jones than the Angels do, which means that no future deal would be guaranteed.Pirates Prospects is FREE today in honor of the Wild Card game.

NEW YORK, Feb. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sony Computer Entertainment Inc. (SCEI) today announced Wireless Controller for PlayStation®4 (DUALSHOCK®4) and PlayStation®4 Eye, a new camera, along with PlayStation®4 (PS4™), its next generation computer entertainment system.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20020701/SFM066LOGO)
Wireless Controller for PlayStation®4 (DUALSHOCK®4)
Utilizing a similar design as the popular Wireless Controller for PlayStation®3(DUALSHOCK®3), DUALSHOCK®4 features new innovations to deliver better gaming experiences. DUALSHOCK®4 incorporates a new highly sensitive six-axis sensor, as well as a touch pad located on the front of the controller, which offers gamers completely new ways to play and interact with games.
DUALSHOCK®4 features a light bar on the top with three color LEDs that illuminate in various colors. The light bar illuminates to match the color of characters in a game to offer a simpler, more friendly way to identify players, even when playing side by side. The light bar also changes patterns during gameplay to provide useful information to gamers, such as when a character is critically low on health or has taken major damage.
In addition, DUALSHOCK®4 will come with a built-in speaker and stereo headset jack, enabling PS4 users to enjoy high-fidelity sound effects of games from both the TV and also from the controller. Combined with the Mono Headset that will be bundled with PS4, gamers will also be able to chat with friends playing online, while hearing sound effects from the controller in hand.
While integrating "SELECT" and "START" buttons on DUALSHOCK®3 Wireless Controller into a new "OPTIONS button", DUALSHOCK®4 is newly equipped with a "SHARE button" to further enhance PS4's social capabilities. The "SHARE button" allows gamers to easily broadcast their gameplay in real-time to friends through internet streaming services such as Ustream. Users can also share their triumphs and accomplishments by uploading video gameplay to Facebook with the "SHARE button". Unlike streaming content via PC, users no longer have to convert data formats of their recorded gameplay, but can share it with ease. Additionally, gamers can charge DUALSHOCK®4 while PS4 is on standby or through a dedicated charging station. For convenience, DUALSHOCK®4 can also be charged with smartphone chargers via USB.
During the creation of DUALSHOCK®4, Sony Computer Entertainment worked with key partners in the development community to improve the feel of the left / right sticks and the trigger buttons, the result is a much tighter sense of control over in-game actions.
PlayStation®4 Eye
PlayStation®4 Eye, a newly developed camera for PS4 incorporates two high-sensitive cameras that have wide-angle lenses with 85-degree diagonal angle views which can recognize the depth of space precisely. This enables PlayStation®4 Eye to cut out the image of the player from the background, or to grasp players' position in front and behind, further broadening the ways to enjoy games. Incorporated four microphones are also capable of accurate sound detection and source origination. In addition, users will be able to login to their PS4 with face recognition and are capable of using their own body movements or voices to enjoy games more intuitively. Furthermore, PlayStation®4 Eye senses the color of DUALSHOCK®4's light bar to judge the positions of multiple players, and set characters in the same positions or let a character talk to a particular player, enabling players to enjoy games in new way. PlayStation®4 Eye also supports PlayStation®Move motion controller. It detects the motion of PS Move more precisely, and reflects players' in-game motion more accurately than ever.
SCE will announce new details of PS4 and its robust lineup of games from 3rd party developers and publishers, the independent gaming community and SCE Worldwide Studios, as well as further enhancements to the entire PlayStation ecosystem between now and the holiday 2013 launch.

Developing software for the Internet of Things (IoT) comes with its own set of challenges. Security, privacy, and unified standards are a few key issues. In addition, each IoT product is comprised of at least three separate application components: the software embedded in the device, the backend big-data service, and the mobile application for the end user's controls. Each component is developed by a different team, using different technologies and practices, and deployed to a different stack/target - this makes the integration of these separate pipelines and the coordination of software upd...

Since then, the technology has evolved immensely, from both a technology standpoint, and in our everyday uses for it. Originally used for person-to-person (P2P) communication, i.e., Sally sends a text message to Betty – mobile messaging now offers tremendous value to businesses for customer and empl...

Pacific Rim: An IMAX 3D Experience
Length: 2 hours, 11 minutes
Synopsis: When legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of lives and consume humanity's resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenseless in the face of the relentless Kaiju. On the verge of defeat, the forces defending mankind have no choice but to turn to two unlikely heroes-a washed up former pilot and an untested trainee who are teamed to drive a legendary but seemingly obsolete Jaeger from the past. Together, they stand as mankind's last hope against the mounting apocalypse.

WILMINGTON, Del., Aug. 6, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Rigrodsky & Long, P.A.:
- Do you, or did you, own shares of Galectin Therapeutics Inc. (NASDAQ CM: GALT)?
- Did you purchase your shares before January 6, 2014, or between January 6, 2014 and July 28, 2014, inclusive?
- Did you lose money in your investment in Galectin Therapeutics Inc.?
- Do you want to discuss your rights?
Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., including former Special Assistant United States Attorney, Timothy J. MacFall, announces that a complaint has been filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased the common stock of Galectin Therapeutics Inc. ("Galectin" or the "Company") (NASDAQ CM: GALT) between January 6, 2014 and July 28, 2014, inclusive (the "Class Period"), alleging violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Company and certain of its officers (the "Complaint").
If you purchased shares of Galectin during the Class Period, or purchased shares prior to the Class Period and still hold Galectin, and wish to discuss this action or have any questions concerning this notice or your rights or interests, please contact Timothy J. MacFall, Esquire or Peter Allocco of Rigrodsky & Long, P.A., 2 Righter Parkway, Suite 120, Wilmington, DE 19803 at (888) 969-4242; by e-mail to [email protected]; or at: http://www.rigrodskylong.com/investigations/galectin-therapeutics-inc-galt.
Galectin is a development-stage company engaged in drug research and development to create new therapies for fibrotic disease and cancer. The Complaint alleges that throughout the Class Period, defendants made materially false and misleading statements, and omitted materially adverse facts, about the Company's business, operations and prospects. As a result of defendants' alleged false and misleading statements, the Company's stock traded at artificially inflated prices during the Class Period.
According to the Complaint, on July 28, 2014, Bleecker Street Research published an article on SeekingAlpha.com claiming that Galectin "has strong ties to stock promoters" engaging in a misleading brand awareness campaign aimed at boosting its stock price. On that same day, Adam Feuerstein published an article on TheStreet.com revealing that Emerging Growth Corp., through its parent company TDM Financial, a penny-stock promotions firm, was the investor relations and marketing company Galectin was paying for misleading promotional campaigns to entice investors to buy its stock.
On this news, shares in Galectin plummeted more than 60%, closing at $5.70 per share on July 29, 2014, on unusually heavy trading volume.
If you wish to serve as lead plaintiff, you must move the Court no later than September 29, 2014. A lead plaintiff is a representative party acting on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. Any member of the proposed class may move the court to serve as lead plaintiff through counsel of their choice, or may choose to do nothing and remain an absent class member.
While Rigrodsky & Long, P.A. did not file the Complaint in this matter, the firm, with offices in Wilmington, Delaware and Garden City, New York, regularly litigates securities class, derivative and direct actions, shareholder rights litigation and corporate governance litigation, including claims for breach of fiduciary duty and proxy violations in the Delaware Court of Chancery and in state and federal courts throughout the United States.
