Jul 2015 - $45.00
I had been here three years earlier and was met with the same helpful courtesy as before. The park location is simply spectacular, right on the main channel so that one has an excellent view of the shipping traffic and marine life, we saw five whales very close to the shore and directly in front of our motor home. Better yet, the sites are designed for nosed in motor homes and that big front view is awesome! One should be aware that this is essentially a place for adults to relax and appreciate the scenery, with little for the kids to do. The place is quite isolated and you should stock up before arrival. Most likely you will not use this park as a base for seeing the area, as it is too far from Campbell River for convenience and the three mile road in is simply awful. Be prepared for washboard, dust or mud, and narrow sections. The road in is a forestry road and not maintained to normal standards. For a one night stay, the drive in is not worth it. The focus is the seashore and wilderness, think cougars and bears, is right behind you. The park itself is part of a marina complex, with fishing or whale watching if desired. The RV park is very well maintained and very quiet at night, as the party crowd does not fit in. There are a fair number of seasonal RVs and they are assigned the prime sites. If you can get a south side, lower section site do so. That said, most sites are quite good, although the lower level sites are preferred by most. One should also be aware that cell service is at best iffy. One might get a weak signal out in the marina or on the observation platform, but you should not expect to. The internet is very slow, no movies or Facetime. Cable is also limited to a few channels and reception was poor. There is a floating restaurant, but it was pricey and so-so in quality. Go for the view. - BMonk

The short drive on the un-paved road to this RV Park was worth it. The road was in pretty good condition when we were there and our "Pavement Princess" and towed survived in and out unscathed. We were assigned a site on the upper level. It has superior views but, when walking, if you are not into a small hill climb, you might want to reserve a lower level site. Both levels had good views of Johnson Straight (part of the main channel used by the Cruise Ships to and from Alaska). We noticed that a lot of the services are geared for Class A units nosed in but folks with trailers did not appear to have any difficulty hooking up to the shore services. The lots are gravelled and level. Gravel is preferable in this part of the world as it is a "Rain Forest" and proper drainage is a must. (I should add that during the summer months there is usually very little rain.) We did notice what appeared to be seasonal units but there was no "junk" and all lots were in great condition. There is a small playground for kids but this park is really geared for fishing and folks like us that just wanted the view and to relax. All services worked as expected. Wi-Fi was free and fair. The down side of our stay was that the Hot Tub (right beside the ocean) was closed for servicing minus one point and there is no cell service here so if you are into heavy usage of the internet you will be disappointed minus another point. We had lunch on the floating restaurant and found the portions small and overpriced. We paid $42.00 per night including taxes and will be back. Be sure to reserve. There is not much else around here for quite a ways. - BC Wanderer

This time we stayed six days, and we will be back. The road in is rough and therefore mitigates against casual one night stays. Also, while there is a new playground, this is essentially a park for adults who want to have a quiet stay in a fantastic place. The scenery is simply terrific, cruise ships so close you can see the on-deck movies, whales going by and sites right on the water. Moreover, this place is kept up to the nth degree and everything is new or as good as. Great clubhouse and new guest cabins this year (got the tour: very, very nice). It looks better than even their own photos reveal. Lastly, their floating restaurant has been redone completely: we had two dinners there. No better RV park on Vancouver Island. - BMonk

Nice setting in a dense forest along the Quinsam River close to Campbell River. The roads in the site are a combination of paved and gravel. Sites are well separated so quite private. Wood is available for a fee. The river sites can now be reserved as well as selected other sites. Rate is now $ 18 with a half price rate for BC seniors after Labor Day. We would stay again if in the area. - lrp374

This park is just 3 km north of Campbell River, right off Hwy 3, offering good hiking and fishing opportunities around. The sites are all dry camping. Lots of sites available for larger rigs (we are 51' combined length). Fairly easy to maneuver. Level was OK. Most of the sites, including the ones on the river are reservable. Chances to get a river site without a reservation are slim to none during summer season. Those on the river are reasonably bright, while the others are mostly heavily shaded and pretty dark. Pick a side in the rear end to get away from the road noise (mostly dying down at night anyway). All sites have a picnic table and a fire pit. Well spaced, offering good privacy. A real downer for bigger rigs is the dump station ($5). Very tight to get into without hitting the curb. In fact we were not able to get around it. Overall a nice Provincial Park close to town with lots of larger sites. However, we didn't like the darkness and the dump station, therefore will try a different campground around Campbell River next time. - TheSchweitzers

This park has some good points and some bad points. On the positive side it is quiet and the bath house is clean. On the negative side there is a issue with the power. The trailer AC voltmeter would read 102 volts and the surge protector would show reverse polarity. In a few minutes this would change to OK and then back again. It appeared that the campground was intermittently losing one side of the 220v feed. The sites are small and overgrown with tress and bushes, the roads are narrow, and access and exit with a larger unit is difficult. With the rain falling we were truly in a rain forest. We and would not stay at this park again. - Living Skies
Sep 2014 - $32.00
A nice older park with lots of trees and large sites. Each site has a nice picnic table and fire pit and firewood is available. The services are reliable, easy to access and the WIFI although slow seems to work even in the trees. The roads in the park are very narrow with turns that are very tight for longer units. They have several sites they call pull-throughs but are really "pull-offs" and for long units may impede access to adjacent sites. It's best to check site options before committing to a site. We would stay again if in the area. - lrp374
Aug 2013 - $24.00
The rate is based on the weekly rate. The nightly rate is $28. The campground was very well supervised, making it nice and quiet at night. Wi-Fi was weak, and no OTA TV available. Too many trees for satellite TV. Roads were narrow and dusty (lack of rain). Sites are small and difficult to get in and out of with larger units. Showers were free. Great hiking and sight seeing in the area. An excellent place to stay with smaller units, but not suitable for those who want to party. - Snoet

We had a nice view towards the ocean. However, there were electrical problems in the park. The management had electricians in and there was low voltage even though there were only a few units in the park. The manager was not friendly once this problem was identified. We were afraid for our electrical systems as circuit breakers kept tripping. We left a day early and had to "fight" to get a refund. - Idletime

After choosing this park for its good reviews, we were pretty disappointed and feel like the park is overrated and overpriced. It might be a good place to stay for seasonals or family vacations since there are a lot of amenities (heated pool, hot tub, horseshoes, volleyball, rec hall, you name it) in this park. But from our point of view, being a traveller, the value for money is just poor. The sites are very narrow with a raised concrete patch for the picnic table alongside which you have to back in. After getting the slides out the neighbor's awning was less than one foot away. Privacy? Forget it. Quite a few sites have trees in the way you want to use to back in. Hookups are in the far back, you will need looong hoses to connect. WiFi was poor, weak signal with dropouts every now and then and slow when working. Leveling was almost impossible due to tree roots and a left to right slope in the site. The views over the strait to the mainland are partly hidden by retaining walls. The "beach" is just gravel. The best was actually the silence at night. Staff was friendly but not really helpful when assigning the site. Having called in advance we were told there was only one site left to accommodate a large trailer like ours (34'). In fact we discovered at least half a dozen vacant sites (and staying vacant during our stay) which would have been a way better choice to park our rig. We won't come back. - TheSchweitzers

Beautiful scenery for dry campers - no hookups or showers but water is available. Beach is sandy but can be a bit of a walk to water's edge depending on lake level. Lovely flat, treed sites. Great hiking, boating, fishing and fresh, clean air. - Mrs. Snowbird

We are traveling through Canada and USA for two months. We have seen and will see many RV parks. This one is, so far, the best value for money we have encountered. The plots are quite large, but the highlight was that the restrooms and the laundry where the cleanest we have come across.
They charge extra for shower time and laundry, but you get a rather clean facilities and a big laundry room, heated, clean, with machines where to buy soap and softener if you have to.
The staff at the reception where very friendly and helpful and stay until 19:30 even though it was off season. - The Divers

We stayed here in Class C motorhome with our two labs. Paved walking path across the street, beautiful walk along harbor/spit (busy with fishing boats, tug boats pulling loads of logs and wood chips, sea lions & sea otters swimming). Park very open, little privacy, but this was not an issue. Firewood available for fire pits $, Good Internet for a small fee, friendly staff, very close to major shopping (groceries, restaurants , drug store, clothing, souvenirs,etc.). Full hookup, including cable TV. You can see the ferry crossing to Quadra Island every half hour. We would definitely recommend this location/ park. Crushed rock sites with small grassy area. - Live Life
Aug 2015 - $35.00
We loved it here! Stayed a week and extended three more days. If you can, request the north side of the park. The street is in front of you but WHAT A VIEW! The street leads to a park at the end of the spit which is where we walked our dog every morning and evening. It has light traffic coming and going to the park during the day but virtually no cars at night so it's very quiet. You can look out your front window and see whales, cruise ships, bald eagles, sea planes, etc. all day long. Perfect location for exploring the area north, south or west. Sites were adequately sized. This is a nicely run park in a really good location. Walk/bike to shopping and restaurants just 10 minutes away. Can't wait to go back. - clayghir

Even in his first three films, Samuel Fuller was like no other director. His simple, powerful visuals and social commentary made even his lowliest films more fascinating than most high-gloss studio product and influenced filmmakers like Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarrantino. This three-disc set includes "I Shot Jesse James" (1949), the psychological Western that launched his career, "The Baron of Arizona" (1950), in which legendary swindler (Vincent Price) tirest to con the U.S. out of an entire state, and "The Steel Helmet" (1951), the first Hollywood film to deal with the Vietnam war and a pioneer in depicting racial tensions.

Two additional rules could usefully be added to the non-normative description of the xs:override transformation given in F.2, to make it more closely reflect the normative transformation:
0 [before the "for each element information item E2"]. The attributes of D2' (for example, targetNamespace and defaultAttributes) are copies of the attributes of D2.
5. [part of the "for each..."] If E2 is any other element type (for example, defaultOpenContent), then D2′ has an element identical to E2 in the same place as where E2 is in D2.
[I would also quibble with the use of "identical" in these rules - it appears to consider two elements identical even though their [parent] properties differ - but it's non-normative, and no readers will be confused, so I guess this doesn't really matter.]
There are further problems with this non-normative description of the transformation:
(a) "For each element information item E2 in the [children] of D2's <schema>, <redefine>, or <override> information item". Should perhaps read
"For each element information item E2 that is a child of D2's <schema> element or a child of a <redefine> element appearing as a child of that <schema> element". I don't think the rule applies to children of <override> because they are handled in the subclauses of clause 4.
(b) In the Note: "Note: Informally, the rule just given has the effect that O2 contains (a) all the [children] of O1, as well as (b) all of the [children] of E2 which are not overridden by some child of O1. The elements corresponding to [children] of E2 come first, followed by the [children] of O1 which matched nothing in E2.". Here E2 is incorrect. Perhaps the Note would be better written:
Note: informally, the rule just given has the effect that O2 contains copies of all the declarations and definitions appearing as children of the <override> element O1, together with copies of all the declarations and definitions in D2 that are not overridden by a declaration or definition within O1. The declarations from D2 come first, followed by the declarations from O1 that matched nothing in D2.
WG agrees in principal, but is marking this item needsDrafting so MSM has an opportunity to recheck.
Re-reading the transformation, I begin to wonder whether the treatment of
xsd:redefine is correct.
Consider the following situation:
- schema document v1 declares a type T but does not specify it further.
So it defaults to being a vacuous restriction of xsd:anyType.
- schema document v2 includes a redefine of v1, with a child declaring
type T as a complex type with simple content consisting of xsd:date
- schema document v3 includes an override of v2, with a child declaring
type T as a complex type with simple content consisting of xsd:gYear
Schema documents illustrating this configuration are on the W3C server at
I believe that what the WG wanted in this situation was that the override
transformation, performed with the override element in v3 as O1 and with
schema document v2 as D2, should insert v3's version of the declaration
of type T into the xsd:redefine element.
I believe the transform as currently written fails to do this, because
any redefine will be a child of xsd:schema and thus match two templates.
One template with a match pattern of
| schema-element(xs:redefine)
This template copies the element and its attributes and then calls
xsl:apply-templates on the children. Its default priority, if I understand
XSLT 2.0 correctly, is 0.25.
The other template has a match pattern of
| schema-element(xs:redefine)/*
| schema-element(xs:override)/*
It performs a deep copy of either the current element or its replacement
in the override element, and does not call apply-templates on the
children. Its explicit priority is 3.
In the example, the result is that the redefine element in the D2' produced
by the override transformation (as we have defined it in the spec) is
a deep copy of the redefine in v2, instead of having its children overridden
by matching elements in the override of v3
One possible repair is to assign a priority of 5 to the template
which currently has no explicit priority. I don't think that's likely to
break anything.
With respect to the second point made in comment 1, I am not sure I understand or agree. The phrase "The rule just given" refers to rule 4, governing the handling of xsd:override elements in the overridden schema document D2, and it seems to me to be correct.
The passage is not as easy to follow as it ought to be in part because there are too many different things we need to refer to, and thus too many different variable names: D1, D2, D2', O1, E2, O2.
Perhaps O2 should be renamed E2', to make the similarity more explicit:
D2' is the override of D2 by O1, and E2' (O2 in the current draft) is the override of E2 by O1. The override element included in D2' (O2, perhaps to be renamed E2') contains copies of all the children in O1, whether they matched anything in E2 or not, and it also contains copies of all the children of E2 which weren't overridden. It doesn't contain elements for the other declarations of D2.
Proposal (member-accessible) at http://www.w3.org/XML/Group/2004/06/xmlschema-1/structures.b14416.html
It adopts the changes suggested in the original bug report, replaces mentions of identity with mentions of copying, adopts the first change in comment 1, attempts to address the second change in comment 1 by changing the variable name O2 to E2' (to try to make the parallel between E2 / E2' and D2 / D2' more evident), and sets a priority of 5 for the hitherto default-priority template for xsd:schema and xsd:redefine.
WG action requested
Re comment #3: I agree; the analysis of the problem and the proposed resolution are correct.
Re the second point in comment #1 and the response in comment #4, I think the problem is that I did not read "the rule just given" as referring to clause 4 of the paragraph starting 'For each element information item E2...', but rather to the whole paragraph.
There appear to be a couple of typos in the proposed text.
(a) The replacement paragraph starts
"For each element information item E2 in the [children] any <schema> or <redefine> element information item within D2, the appropriate case among the following is true"
should "of" appear after "[children]"?
(b) In rule 5, spurious apostrophe in "correspond's".
The typos noted in comment 7 have been corrected (thank you!) and the proposal regenerated.
One good consequence of adding item 5 in the numbered list is that it may help make clearer that the note after clause 4 is a note on clause 4 and not the whole process. But perhaps (it occurs to me now) "the rule just given" should be replaced with "clause 4" to make the reference more explicit.
The proposal mentioned in comment 5 was approved (as amended) at the XML Schema WG call today and the changes have been integrated into the status-quo documents. So I'm marking this issue resolved.
Michael, as originator of the issue it falls to you to close the bug formally to indicate your satisfaction with the WG's resolution of the issue. Thanks.

The Monstrous and the Dead: Burke, Marx, Fascism
McCulloch, Andrew, Capital & Class
Mark Neocleous The Monstrous and the Dead: Burke, Marx, Fascism University of Wales Press, 2005, 152 pp. ISBN 0-708-31904-1 (hbk) £45 ISBN 0-708-31903-3 (pbk) £18
Reviewed by Andrew McCulloch
Mark Neocleous is one of the most interesting and original thinkers around, and I took this slim (and, unfortunately, rather expensive) book to review because of his transgressive track record, and because of my current interest in Hitler's charismatic career. In addition, a book with such an apposite photomontage by John Heartfield (whom I visited in the sixties) on the cover is not an easy one for me to pass up. Hitler is depicted by Heartfield in August 1933, posturing in front of a mirror and asking, 'Little Mirror, Little Mirror on the Wall, who is the strongest in the whole country?' In the mirror, the hand of a skeleton grips the reflection's throat. However, none of this made The Monstrous and the Dead simple to review. Neocleous's book is 'an attempt to generate new thoughts, ideas and perceptions about the monstrous and the dead, and about political thinking in general. This book has been written as a means of opening up, as well as contributing to, a debate about our relation to the monstrous and the dead' (p. 8). The argument is that the way in which political philosophies conjure up, think about and deal with the dead, the monstrous and the undead will throw fresh light on those philosophies. One of the 'undead' that Neocleous constantly attacks is 'mainstream cultural studies'; and one of the delights of this book is a long note (pp. 129-30) in which Neocleous, clearly on the side of the living, reports on an obviously heated and barbed conference debate with those from mainstream cultural studies about the relationship of tropes and metaphors to reality. This is not just a speculative work of cultural criticism, but is also intended as a properly (not a falsely) subversive political text: this book is also about winning the battle with fascism and capitalism.
Burke is taken in this regard as the key conservative thinker; Marx is supplemented with Walter Benjamin; and it is Hitler who is at the centre of the chapter on fascism. Part of the author's reason for selecting Burke and Marx (and Benjamin) is their quality as writers of richly allusive prose-a quality which, nobody will be surprised to learn, Hitler does not share. Neocleous hazards that 'if ... literary style has any connection with political presuppositions, then the choice of metaphor might be important' (p. 10). Much of this meditative, swirling discussion is fascinating, erudite and creative. For Burke, what is monstrous is the vulgar, inchoate, threatening and disrespectful mob that heralds the emergence of the organised proletariat. Neocleous notes that Burke's work influenced the rise of the gothic as a genre of fiction, central to which was the undead and monstrous figure of the vampire: 'The general point is that, just as the natural order is supposedly threatened by the various monsters it sometimes spawns, so the socio-political order appears to be threatened by the various monsters it spawns ... His [Burke's] monster is thus called upon to legitimize an intuitive vision of life in which "natural" order appears to be threatened by "artificial" monstrosities' (p. 21). Neocleous's descent into the darkest dreams of one of the greatest conservatives concludes brilliantly: 'we might say that the proletariat is an entity which cannot be killed because the bourgeois order requires it to be living, but which as a mob cannot be assimilated into the current stable order-it is essentially disorderly. And as a monster it also cannot be assimilated into the glorious and "safe" past. Why? Because as well as being an emblem of categorical anxiety, border concern and dis-ease, monsters are essentially undeaa" (p. 34).Marx (who has, in the main, been well served by his translators-except, perhaps, when they will translate 'Mensch' as 'man') is a brilliant, wonderfully imaginative writer in command of a cornucopia harvested from Western culture; but one contemporary image he uses is that of the vampire, which Neocleous describes as being 'at the heart of his work . …

In our review of the Moto X, we determined that while its ClearPixel camera was decent, its performance was hit or miss. Fortunately, Motorola has taken a lot of feedback and has cranked out a software update with improvements to the camera's performance, specifically in the areas of exposure, color accuracy and focus speed. The refresh, which is so far getting pushed out to T-Mobile phones -- we expect it to roll out to other carriers as soon as each one is done testing the new firmware, though nothing is currently confirmed -- appears to make a rather substantial difference in several scenarios, such as reducing noise in low-light and eliminating haze in outdoor shots. Anandtech's Brian Klug had the opportunity to take the updated shooter for a test run and declared it to be "nothing short of the biggest [improvement] I've ever seen come across in an OTA update."
In addition to the camera improvements, Motorola also threw in a few other enhancements as well. Users who have downloaded the update should expect increased Touchless Control accuracy, a fix for the choppy audio issue some have experienced in voice calls and an improvement to Moto Assist as well.

Even though Alcatel does have devices out in the market like that Venture or OT986, the company still isn't exactly known for its hardware offerings. With the 7-inch (800 x 480) One Touch T10, Alcatel's entering the overcrowded Android tablet space, and doing so without much flare -- especially when compared side-by-side with, say, Google's flagship, the Nexus 7. Something also tells us the One Touch T10 might just be one of those reincarnated slates, but that's not to say some won't appreciate the inclusion of Ice Cream Sandwich alongside a 1GHz, single-core Rockchip CPU, 1GB RAM and 4GB of internal storage (expandable up to 32GB via microSD). Details on pricing and availability are still a tad bit scarce, though word on the web is it'll be priced at €130 (around $170) once it's up for grabs in the US and Europe.

Walmart announced that it will be expanding renewable energy efforts through utilization of lighter, low cost thin film solar technology. Walmart plans to add solar generating systems to 20 to 30 sites in California and Arizona.
From the announcement, the goals of the renewable energy project are as follows:
"By leveraging our global scale to become a more efficient company, we are able to lower our expenses and help develop markets for new technologies," says Kim Saylors Laster, Walmart vice president of energy. "Developing and incorporating new renewable energy sources, like thin film, reduces energy price risk and aligns very well with our commitment to solving business challenges through technology."
SolarCity will design, install, and maintain the new solar power systems. 500 green jobs are expected to be created in California and Arizona, as well as supporting green jobs at facilities in Ohio and California where the thin film is manufactured.

M. Wells Dinette: the Best Museum Cafeteria Food on the Planet, now in Long Island City
I was a huge fan of M. Wells, the short-lived, much-mourned Long Island City diner from Chef Hugue Dufour (late of Montreal and the great Au Pied de Cochon) and his partner Sarah Obraitis. The explosive flavors, the insane creativity of the kitchen, the fun, casual vibe… M. Wells was, for the year or so it it was open, one of my favorite spots in town. Needless to say, I was pretty excited when I showed up at the M. Wells Dinette last Friday afternoon, and, no surprise, Dufour and Obraitis totally delivered.
Dufour and Obraitis have been around since that fateful closing day, that stunner of a shutter (they had just received two stars in Times, for crissakes!), whether slinging Grilled Horse Bologna and Foie Gras sandwiches at the Great Googa Mooga last May in Prospect Park, or manning a food booth at PS1 Warm Up all summer, but now the M. Wells gang is OFFICIALLY back in Long Island City, taking over the cafeteria of MoMA PS1.
The Decor in M. Wells Dinette Takes its Cues from the Former School it's Housed in
MoMA PS1, the great contemporary art museum, is housed in a former elementary school, and the M. Wells Dinette fully, delightfully embraces its surroundings. The tables are all communal, and are actually those grammar school desks with the open front in which you stashed your books, pens, love notes. The menu, which changes daily (as in a cafeteria), is written on a big blackboard, which Obraitis and crew can cross off or add things as the day goes by; as each new class comes in.
You can either sit at a desk and get full waitress service–by the way, unlike my cafeteria in grade school, M. Wells Dinette serves beer and wine–or wait on line and bring your tray of food out to the tables and chairs (and steps) in the PS1 MoMA courtyard, a fine option on these glorious fall days. The kitchen is fully open, the music is solid, the prices are gentle, the energy is excellent.
Some Highlights of the M. Wells Dinette Menu
And the food at M. Wells Dinette? Just terrific, showcasing everything I love about Dufour's cooking. For example, although there was the M. Wells signature Egg and Sausage roll on the menu, which is amazing, I opted for the Beef Tartare sandwich, which is exactly what it sounds like (a raw burger), and is also amazing. There are some caper-y flavors here, and some pepper, and it's dressed with a bit of spicy mayo and a crisp piece lettuce, but Dufour really lets the meat stand on its own, which is does, brilliantly, with lots of that deep mineral tang but also a surprising brightness. That the roll tastes good and is the perfect texture–chewy but with enough give so the meat doesn't get squeezed out–helps too. An instant Top Five NYC Sandwiches contender.
Also great on the M. Wells Dinette menu was my huge Frisee Salad (huge especially for only $8), with all of those chewy lardons, a fat runny egg, bitter, crunchy greens and radishes, just enough creamy dressing. I love Frisee Salad, and order it a lot, and Dufour's version is outstanding. And the Clam Chowder was really good, too, especially the rich, oily, kicky broth. The clams themselves were a bit rubbery, but that"s just a quibble. I tried all summer, in fish shacks all over town, to eat a great bowl of chowder, and I finally got it a week into fall at an art museum. So: thanks.
M. Wells Dinette is located right by the main entrance of PS1 in Long Island City (not the main MAIN entrance, but after you've crossed the courtyard) and is open whenever the museum is open, which is to say: Thursday, Friday, and Monday from 12:00 noon to 6:00 p.m., and on Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. until 6:00. Closed Tuesday and Wednesday; MoMA PS1 admission not required for entry to M. Wells Dinette. Slightly more info, and any changes to the operating hours, can be found on their website.

Enhanced with powerful technology
Intelligent Routing
When new content is ingested into the repository, it is automatically transcoded into a variety of pre-defined file type variations. This makes it easy for anyone to watch the content, no matter what type of network or device they're using. Qumu Pathfinder goes beyond just routing video content based on network characteristics. It integrates with corporate user directories (LDAP, Active Directory) and Identity Management (SAML) systems so that its rules recognize groups.
Users will not have to select a file format appropriate for their device or browser. Qumu Pathfinder automatically does this using its customizable detection rules. It dynamically recognizes the location and type of device a user is connecting from, the type of browser being used, and routes the appropriate format for that device.
Optimized Delivery
Enterprise-wide video communication should be efficient, reliable and secure. Qumu provides network-friendly delivery of video and associated media content both live and on demand. Prepositioning of video-on-demand content at off-peak hours and maintaining a single live stream across the WAN minimizes network load and maximizes cost savings.
This optimization comes via internal CDN created with Qumu VideoNet Edge software, available as a native application, a virtual machine, or as an appliance, integration with internet CDNs like Akamai, Cloudfront and Edgecast and branch video optimization with Citrix CloudBridge, Riverbed VSP, and Hive Streaming.
Qumu's mobile platform consists of two main components: the back-end workflows that prepare content for delivery, and the Qumu Mobile App for browsing, playing back, commenting on and sharing videos. The "heavy lifting" is done by the Qumu Platform (encoding and transcoding, access control, content management, workflows, positioning content on delivery networks, and routing user requests to the most appropriate network and edge device), while the mobile app is light and easy to use in various applications.
Even when your important videos are on mobile devices and offline, Qumu keeps them secure. With secure offline video, users can download videos to their mobile devices and view them even without connectivity so they can remain productive with video anywhere.
The Qumu Web Services and RESTful web APIs let you easily embed the power of Qumu business video capabilities into your own portal, enterprise application or mobile app. They give developers the flexibility to create custom viewing experiences and features based on your organization's or customer's precise needs.
Our technology plays well with other technology. Our APIs allow you to leverage parts of the proven Qumu Enterprise Video Platform. Seamlessly add them to your own solutions, and take advantage of their strong video management, distribution, analytics and security functionalities.

New custom URL shorteners are springing up every day and are useful in maintaining a strong Web brand and distributing content — but should your station jump on board and launch one?
URL shorteners are a relatively simply concept: Take a long URLand, using a shorter domain name and directory path, make it shorter. This is helpful for sending links via e-mail or instant messenger since these applicaitons tend to "break" longer URL strings or ones with special characters.
However, the real popularity of the URL shortener is directly related to the rise of Twitter. Since Twitter strictly enforces a 140-character limit, you can't afford to waste characters on a huge URL.
The most popular URL shortener,bit.ly, recently began offering Bitly Pro, a service that lets companies and organizations replaced the "bit.ly" in the short URL with a domain of their choice. Each shortened URL is following by a random string of letters and numbers.
Bitly Pro offers a basic free package that's likely more than sufficient for most stations. As an alternative, you can also learn more about hosting your own shortener here.
Several television entities, including Fox News Channel (fxn.ws) and The Weather Channel (wxch.nl) are already using URL shorteners. For a complete list of vanity and custom URL shorteners used by a variety of companies and organizations, visit VanityURLShorteners.com.
The first step in launching a URLshortener is to select a domain.
Many TV stations are at a distinct advantage since they already own their four-character call sign as a domain.
In general, technical limitations will likely mean you'll need to use a subdomain under your call sign (such as go.wxxx.com or on.wxxx.com), but these are still great options.
In addition, many services rely on country code domains, including the .ws, .nl and .ly mentioned above.
Not only are these one character shorter than the typical .com, but they can also be used to form words or shortened forms of words. For example, "wxch.nl" uses the "WX" abbreviation and eliminates the vowels in "channel," a common practice.
Some country codes are rather expensive or require the registrant to have a physical presence in the country. A complete list of available codes and any limitations is available here.
One good one that is both affordable and available for U.S. companies is ".ws" since it is the last two digits of the word "news." So you could, for example, register "wxxxne.ws" or something similar. Remember that in most cases people will be simply clicking theURL and not having to type it in so you don't need to be as concerned as people not understanding the rather strange construction being used. The ".tv" and ".us" endings are other good choices.
So why use a custom URLshortener instead of bit.ly? Using a custom domain gives you the chance to make sure your brand remains front and center on social media platforms, especially when content is shared across so many platforms. It also allows you to avoid plugging another company.
There is one key downside to having a custom URL shortener. First, Twitter has begun using its own URL shortener, "t.co" to automatically shorten links, including ones that are already shortened and other services could follow suit.
If you do decide to launch a URLshortener, you should also consider joining 301works.org, a service that can take over your links should you ever decide to discontinue it, thereby ensuring all the links created up to that point remain accessible.

CBS Cares About Pap Smears
File this under things that make you go, "Did I just hear what I think I heard?
Yup. CBS Cares has a campaign soliciting men to give the women in their lives appointments for pap smears for Christmas. I saw the ads multiple times during the Bears game yesterday, and each time I'd catch just enough of the spot to go, "Wait a minute, did he just say 'Give her the gift that even Santa can't deliver,' about a pap smear?" I can't even believe I'm blogging about this. But it's for real, and according to CBS,
And who would have thought that — on the eve of this project's launch — The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) would announce new pap smear recommendations?? These guidelines state that annual pap smears may no longer be necessary for most women.
Based on this news, we debated whether this project was still important. We concluded — in consultation with Drs. Schiff and del Carmen — that it is actually more important and timely than ever... Because an announcement that recommends less frequent pap smears could cause some women to mistakenly conclude that pap smears are not important.
In fact, while the experts may hotly debate ACOG's findings, they all agree on one thing — a pap smear remains one of the most important health screenings a woman can have. And skipping them costs lives. CBS Cares stands by the pap smear!
Read more about the how and why of the campaign here. Is this a great public service, about often overlooked issues in womens' health? Sure. But the combination of the message with the holidays, the jingling bells and the "Ho ho ho!" in the background... Well, it just seems a little off, right?

Crash.Net WSBK News
COMMENT: Who should replace Biaggi?
9 November 2012
With the announcement that Max Biaggi will hang up his helmet alongside his 2012 World Superbike Championship trophy, attention now turns to who will replace him on the title-winning Aprilia RSV-4.
Ending months of speculation over his future, Biaggi's revelation that he will step away from racing in the wake of his second WSBK title is expected to kick-start a series of moves in the rider market, which has been notably static during the post-season period when compared with previous years.
Indeed, as yet only 11 riders having been officially confirmed for 2013, the market seemingly stalling as Biaggi considered his options. With that decision made, fierce competition for the spot alongside Eugene Laverty at Aprilia can now ensue…
The apparent favourite for the ride is Sylvain Guintoli, the Frenchman immediately linked with Aprilia (even before Biaggi's retirement announcement) when it was revealed he was holding out on alternative deal to the one FIXI Crescent Suzuki claimed he had with them.
Then again, three-time WSBK race winner Guintoli – who is the highest-placed rider in the 2012 standings yet to have his 2013 plans determined – has been linked with several rides since the end of the season, with rumours placing him on the proposed Alstare Ducati for next year too.
If Guintoli is indeed Ducati-bound for 2013, Aprilia may decide to entrust rider duties to another Italian rider capable of filling Biaggi's hallowed boots. Looking within World Superbikes, Davide Giugliano was impressive – if occasionally erratic – during his maiden WSBK season, while he could now be a free agent following the confirmation of Althea and Ducati's split.
However, it has been noted that Giugliano remains on an Althea contract, so if Genesio Bevilacqua decides to take his team to another manufacturer (rumours suggest BMW or Kawasaki), the young Italian will likely follow.
Another Italian without a ride for 2013, Ayrton Badovini may endured a troubled season in 2012, but flashes of speed – coupled to his WSBK maiden podium at Silverstone – could make him a savvy choice. He is also the only rider to have made the notoriously tricky Superstock RSV4 a race winner (even if he was later disqualified for a technical irregularity).
Elsewhere, Aprilia could seek experience from the likes of Jakub Smrz and Noriyuki Haga, both of whom have ridden a satellite RSV4 in World Superbikes and whose future plans remain unknown.
Those are our suggestions, but we want to know who you want to land the champion's ride for 2013?

Long before Hannibal Lecter ate that poor census taker's liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti in "The Silence of the Lambs," there was Professor Moriarty.
Long before Hans Gruber posed as a terrorist in "Die Hard" in an attempt to steal $640 million in bearer bonds, there was Professor Moriarty.
And long before Auric Goldfinger in the James Bond movie tried to devalue the world's economy by blowing up the gold in Fort Knox, there was Professor Moriarty.
In fact, Professor James Moriarty was there long before there was a Hollywood.
The brilliant Professor Moriarty, whom Sherlock Holmes called the "Napoleon of Crime," first appeared in the Sir Arthur Conan Doyle short story "The Final Problem" in 1893. Most people would be surprised to learn that Moriarty only showed up in two of Doyle's 60 stories about the fictional detective.
However, Moriarty has popped up in countless filmed versions of the Holmes saga, and he is front and center again in "Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows," the sequel that opens Friday.
See the 25 smartest movie villains
Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law reprise their roles as Holmes and Dr. Watson, and Jared Harris plays Holmes' arch-enemy Moriarty. Guy Ritchie directs, as he did the first film.
Actors love to play villains, and apparently writers love to create them. Not bound by the principles that heroes must follow, villains often seem more clever than the heroes trying to bring them down. In the end, it is not their intellect that proves their undoing but their greed and ego, not to mention the dogged determination of the hero.
We have compiled a list of 25 of our favorite smarty-pants villains, and we know we left plenty of them off the list. For instance, 007 faced a criminal mastermind in every adventure, but we selected Goldfinger to represent the group. The same goes for Spider-Man's nemesis Green Goblin. He'll sit in for Spidey's brainiest opponents.
Read through the list and always remember – crime pays in the movies, until the last reel.

DWCO offers a variety of workshops of particular relevance for corrections staff. See the Trainings page for more information.
Dealing with Corrections Fatigue requires education and understanding of its precursors, as well as techniques and tools for managing and preventing it.
See the Research page for a variety of downloadable publications highly relevant to corrections staff health and functioning, by Michael D. Denhof, Caterina G. Spinaris, and Gregory R. Morton.
FACT: Research suggests that 27% of corrections professionals meet criteria for PTSD.
FACT: The suicide rate for individuals who work as corrections professionals far exceeds the rate for individuals in the general population.
FACT: Research indicates that corrections professionals with PTSD and/or Depression symptoms demonstrate lower levels of functioning in multiple contexts: work, relationships, ability to enjoy leisure time, care-giving, and personal responsibilities.
DWCO's ''Resilient Supervisor™'' course is a highly interactive, outcome-focused, 4-day course that clarifies evidence-supported and resilience-promoting attitudes and behaviors and how to implement them.
The Corrections Staff Resilience Inventory (CSRI) is a DWCO assessment service offering that scientifically identifies the presence and absence of resilience-promoting behaviors (RPBs) within the workforce.
The RPB Action Plan is a Desert Waters intervention that provides customized training to corrections staff following a scientific assessment battery, with the goal of increasing RPBs, reducing Corrections Fatigue, and promoting staff movement toward Corrections Fulfillment.

Currently Available: the Corrections Fatigue cost estimator, which estimates the financial cost of un-addressed Corrections Fatigue in your organization's workplace culture.
Version 5 of the Corrections Fatigue Status Assessment allows Corrections Fatigue sources to be identified and gauged in 9 key content areas.
FACT: Research indicates that 17% of corrections professionals meet criteria for both depression and PTSD concurrently.
FACT: Research indicates that, on average, the more Violence, Injury, and Death (VID) events corrections professionals experience, the more likely they are to meet criteria for PTSD or suffer moderate to severe Depression symptom severity.
FACT: Changing workplace cultures and reducing Corrections Fatigue among staff requires multi-faceted intervention efforts, including trainings, education, leadership support, and ongoing data-driven assessments.

Estimate the Cost of Corrections Fatigue for your Organization
Corrections Fatigue Costs Estimator
The financial costs of Corrections Fatigue within an organization are significant. Empirical data shows that approximately 20% of staff members in a given corrections organization experience a "high" level of Corrections Fatigue as measured by the Corrections Fatigue Status Assessment™ (CFSA-v5). Individuals who constitute this 20% also account for a disproportionately larger number of sick days compared to the rest of the workforce. Absences due to staff calling in sick require replacement workers who are often paid time and a half to fill in. Based upon this information, the monetary cost of sick days due to Corrections Fatigue can be estimated. In the fields below, enter a typical or average rate of pay for staff in your organization and the approximate total number of employees. A figure will be generated that reflects the annual cost to your organization of unaddressed Corrections Fatigue. Note: This figure only accounts for the additional sick days taken by those scoring in the high Corrections Fatigue range compared to the rest of the employees. It does not include the cost of other manifestations of Corrections Fatigue, such as lower job performance or high turnover. And it does not include the number of additional sick days taken by those experiencing moderate Corrections Fatigue levels. Thus, it reflects only a significant but small portion of Corrections Fatigue's costs.

She lives in a simple home structure with her long-term partner. She says her most difficult challenge has been to establish her business and improve it; she wants to have a shoe store. From the beginning, it was very hard for her because she didn't have the capital for it.
Leonor is very excited about receiving her sixth loan from Esperanza Internacional, having repaid her previous loan satisfactorily and taken an important step toward her business' growth. She has had her business for about six years; she has been taking out loans from Esperanza for almost five years.
She will use this new loan to buy shoes in different sizes and styles. She will use the profits to reinvest in her business and to save. She thanks all of you for your support.
Additional Information
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

First of all, I have to tell anyone who does this procedure to wait till the 90/120s days is up before losing hope. I was beginning to think the procedure was a scam but almost right at the the 3 month mark- I started noticing a little difference. Then a little more and a little more. At 3 1/2 months post procedure, the results are REAL. I had my lower face/upper face done by Dr. Mary Mudd in Columbus, Oh. My neck looks amazing. Like I am 20 years old. I'm 33. Yes, that is still young but it is certainly nice to have a neck without an imperfection! I was starting to notice those two lines that go down your neck in certain lighting (ugh) and now it's completely gone. I have to TRY and force myself to make those lines now, whereas I could get them just by chewing or smiling strongly, or pushing out my chin ever. so. slightly. I am so excited I had to stop and write a review. I'm not so sure about my cheeks, but I'm young anyway and there wasn't much to be fixed. I'm sure there is a difference though, even if it's subtle.
Amazing!!!! SO Happy with Results! - Columbus, OH

I'm using bower, and I want to make a lot of custom components.
Bower it's just a package manager, give it a list of git uris and it will clone them in your "components" folder, now this is awesome, what I want to do is give it a list of 4 or 5 repos, those will be all custom packages I created, but I don't want to make 4 or 5 different repos on github, one for each component, can I make one repo and somehow add 4 or 5 sub-repos on it?
I can't use branches, because clone always clones the master branch, it seems. (I'm not very good with git so bear with me please).

Will the Budget's new measures help new home buyers?
Though there was a distinctly mixed response to some of the property schemes – especially the new Help to Buy – in the Chancellor's Budget, one group was almost universally enthusiastic, the new home builders. Indeed, George Osborne's announcement saw shares rise sharply as the markets predicted a sales boost, Barratt's price up 7%, Taylor Wimpey 6%, and Persimmon, Bellway and Redrow up 4%.
As well as reaffirming the government's commitment to building zero carbon homes from 2016, othere new build measures included an additional £800m for the Build to Rent scheme, and a doubling of the £225m Affordable Homes Guarantee Programme run by the Homes & Communities Agency (HCA) which will see the Agency deliver up to 30,000 new affordable homes.
"This is a major boost for homebuyers and house builders," said Mark Clare, chief executive at Barratt Developments. "It is an important step towards addressing these issues and meeting the housing needs of the nation. It will also be a major boost to the economy as every additional home we build creates two new jobs."
Steve Roche, communications director at Persimmon Homes whose roster includes new homes in Oxford and new homes in Bristol , said:
"Since Christmas, we have already seen the market begin to improve with initiatives including FirstBuy and NewBuy. From the information released to date, we are very pleased that the Government recognises the importance that the new homes industry plays in the much needed growth of the UK economy. We believe that these two initiatives complement the schemes currently available and will help create much needed movement within all levels of the housing market."
Elsewhere, Banner Homes has already report a good start to the year with nine sites granted planning permission in the past few months including plans for new homes in Beaconsfield, Radlett, Theydon Bois, Kingston in Surrey, Malvern, and Poole.
"The budget has been one to help boost home ownership and enable first time buyers to return to the housing market," said Richard Werth, chief executive of Banner Homes. "These very beneficial measures should help ensure that a generation of would be homeowners isn't denied the opportunity to own their home which should help fix the "broken ladder". This, with other personal allowance benefits, will make home ownership affordable and should therefore encourage more house building and employment opportunities."

PBS is bringing an animated version of Tom and Ray Magliozzi's CAR TALK radio show to TV. Based on the hit NPR radio show, the as-yet-untitled animated 10x30 sitcom is targeted for summer 2008. Fans will be invited to submit title suggestions for the television show.
The show will focus on the âoff-airâ escapades of Tom and Ray Magliozzi (known to their listeners as Click and Clack, the Tappet brothers) as they try to fix cars, fend off disgruntled customers and seek out ways to do less and less work.
The titling contest will be announced on the CAR TALK radio program where listeners will be asked to submit their own suggestions for the television program title. More details regarding the titling contest will be available soon.
âWe want to apologize in advance to Jim Lehrer, Bill Moyers, the folks at FRONTLINE, NOVA and AMERICAN EXPERIENCE for the damage we are about to do to your networkâs reputation,â said Tom and Ray Magliozzi, who will provide the voices for their own animated characters. âOh, and Big Bird, too. Sorry, pal.â
âTom and Ray are larger than life characters, and the only way to keep them larger than life, and not diminish them on TV, is through animation,â said creator/exec producer Howard K. Grossman. âWeâve brought on a world-class animation team, and Iâm confident the series will rank among the best anywhere.â
âUnlikely!â said Tom.
The animated series takes place at Car Talk Plaza, a fictional building that houses their radio studio and their famed garage in Cambridge, Massachusetts, in Harvard Square. Along with Click and Clack, the cast of characters includes:
* Fidel -- A mechanic with a cleanliness obsession, who insists on wearing Armani suits while working on cars. He can sense car problems through smell and touch.
* Crusty -- A former Harvard professor who was tossed out of the nearby academic institution and now turns a wrench, while thinking deep thoughts, for Tom and Ray.
* Sal (short for Sally) -- The veteran Bostonian garage receptionist who handles insiders and outsiders with the same lack of etiquette.
* Beth -- Their young, eager radio producer who desperately wants to improve their show and make it more professional to please the network higher ups.
âWeâre looking forward to bringing Tom and Ray to television, with new characters and stories that capture the humor of the radio series and take it even further,â said John Boland, PBS chief content officer. âThrough animation and fresh content, we anticipate the show will be a hit among current fans of the radio show and new audiences. PBS has long been a leader in creating animated, educational programming for children, but, with CAR TALK, we will present our first primetime animated series for a general audience.â
In conjunction with the series, Grossman brokered an innovative partnership with The American Assoc. of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA), whose membership includes all state motor vehicle agencies (DMVs) in the U.S. and Canada, will feature a public safety campaign, with the cartoon versions of Tom and Ray dispensing safe driving tips and other useful information to drivers renewing their licenses in person at participating state DMVs, and online, as well as other educational materials.
PBS (www.pbs.org) is a media enterprise that serves 355 public noncommercial television stations and reaches more than 75 million people each week through on-air and online content. Bringing diverse viewpoints to television and the Internet, PBS provides high-quality documentary and dramatic entertainment, and consistently dominates the most prestigious award competitions. PBS is a leading provider of educational materials for K-12 teachers and offers a broad array of other educational services. PBSâ premier kidsâ TV programming and website, PBS KIDS Online (www.pbskids.org), continue to be parentsâ and teachersâ trusted learning environments for children.

Bird-beak sign
Dr Henry Knipe ◉ and Dr Frank Gaillard ◉ et al.
The bird-beak sign is used to refer to the tapering of the inferior oesophagus in achalasia. The same appearance (although it is difficult to see the similarity) is also referred to as the rat-tail sign.
The appearances although classically occurring in primary achalasia, can also occur in pseudoachalasia due to a gastric tumour involving the gastro-oseophageal junction.

excitement was still the same; the "babe of grace" was still the old man of indignation and battle, and he had not lost his zeal.
Queen Victoria's horizon did not spread across the Atlantic, especially when she was at Balmoral where she seemed remote from the rancour of the world. Affairs were less distressing at a distance, when they were reduced to bundles of documents in locked red boxes. The Queen had enjoyed one little storm of indignation before leaving London for her holiday. The Princess of Prussia asked if it were true that the friendship with France had caused British officers to efface Waterloo from their clasps and medals. "Most certainly not," answered the Queen. Then, with fine challenge she added, "It is there arid there it will remain and we hope ere long Sebastopol may be added."
Sebastopol fell on September 8, after a siege of three hundred and ninety-nine days. On a hill at Balmoral was a wood pile which had been waiting a year for this news. Prince Albert left his desk and walked out, to take a torch from one of the Highlanders and set the beacon alight. The Queen watched the blaze from a window; she could see her husband outlined against the flames, and the scattered population from the valley crowding up to dance about him. For half an hour the weight of years and duty left him. He joined the excited Scotsmen and danced "a veritable Witch's dance, supported by whiskey. "1
THE Queen and the Prince settled down to enjoy the promise of final victory and the problems of their children. When they walked over the moors, at least seven of the princes and princesses were with them, a chain of descendants whose careers had yet to be formed. The Queen did not always yield to motherly emotions. One day Prince Leopold was naughty and the Queen suggested he should be beaten. The Duchess of Kent pleaded that it would make her very sad to hear him cry. "Not when you have eight, Mama," answered the Queen; "that wears off. You could not go through that each time one of the eight cried. "1 The Queen was capable of hardness in watching the foibles of her children, and of astonishing honesty in admitting her limitations. She wrote,2 a year later, when Princess Augusta was

I was moved by the words of Elizabeth Smart, who visited Acadiana last Thursday and spoke to a group of people. Elizabeth Smart is the young lady who, in 2002 at the age of 14, was abducted at knifepoint. She was repeatedly raped and threatened during her nine-month captivity.
But this ordeal did not birth a bitter woman who hates men or who carries a chip on her shoulders. She is today a beautiful, young lady, articulate and gracious, and she, obviously, has been willing to do the hard work of processing her terrible experience.
Only a person who has surrendered to the reality of "what is" and worked hard at acceptance, not approval of what happened to her, could one come out of such tragedy as she did. She said, "We always have a choice to move forward and continue with our life by not letting what happened to us define us." This reveals a person who does not consider herself a victim any longer. That awful man and that awful experience do not have control over her still. She is free, and her words are so important.
When a healed victim speaks to an unhealed victim about letting go and moving on, that unhealed victim can't say, "But you don't understand. I am special in my victimhood." The healed victim knows and speaks with authority. She has done the hard work. From time to time, support groups that are intended to help someone grow through the pain never get past the blaming and the anger, even though both are necessary in the process of healing. But if one stops there in the healing process, that person, still filled with hate, will never be free and consequently, never be able to live a productive and happy life of love and peace.
It takes work to move through ordeals like abuse - physical or sexual or mental. It's scary to relive the experience with tears, crying to purify oneself and lamenting the fact that this has happened. But it is this purification that is so important and leads one to the point of surrender and acceptance. "Yes, I was a victim of rape, of sexual abuse, of parental psychological abuse." But the operative word is WAS. "I am no longer!" When a person chooses not to define her/himself as a victim any longer, then that person can grow and thrive, of which Smart is proof today.
Upon seeing her mother after she was rescued, she said, "I remember seeing my mom. She looked like an angel." How blessed is Smart to have a mom she considers an angel. Some are not so fortunate.
Do you know someone still stuck in the past, brooding and hurting over something that happened a year, two years, 10 years ago? Are YOU that person? If you know someone so caught, help them move past the experience. If it is you stuck in anger, blaming, hate, get the help and the tools to process the pain. It is possible! Look at Smart.
Finally, to all who are mothers - biological and "in practice" - thank you and Happy Mother's Day.

Blueberry Coconut Water
Arizona Rescue Water
BevNET Review
Last Updated: 1/21/2011 9:50 AM
The Rescue Water line from Arizona has been on the shelves for a while now, but their latest addition, Blueberry Coconut Water, is by far the best and most innovative product of the bunch. The blueberry pairs perfectly with the distinct coconut water taste, which also adds electrolytes and hydration capabilities. With those attributes, this product is a great alternative to traditional sports drinks, especially at 70 calories per serving. Plus, it's one of the better tasting flavored coconut water products that we've sampled. The product comes in a substantial 20.5 oz custom PET bottle dressed in a full wrap label -- a slight weakness, as the label is, just like the rest of the Rescue Water line, very busy looking, with graphics and text covering almost every bit of label real estate. Eliminating some of the text would be helpful — it's just information overload right now. The company name, AriZona, is on the front panel twice, but the flavor name is almost buried in small text on the side. Putting more emphasis on the fact that this product has coconut water seems like it would help the marketability of the product. We'd say the same for better handling the dual AriZona and Twin Labs branding, which, in its current form, makes things confusing to the consumer. Overall, the best tasting and most marketable flavor to hit the Rescue Water brand, but some packaging help is definitely needed.

Brister is a guy that we need..he will definitely impress some people.
We desperately need a strong physical guard. The only penetration we got last year was from Taylor and he wasn't strong enough to finish the drive. Brister, can break down defenses with his size and open up some outside shooting from Taylor, Staiger and Garrett.
is he a true point guard? because i really hope we get one next year.
any reports yet? i didnt see it on rivals.
Look at Cyclones.com
