All Hopman Cup teams united Tuesday evening for the Hopman Cup ball to ring in 2014. The men looked very dapper at the event in Perth but for the women, it was all about local Aussie designers. Samantha Stosur, with Bernard Tomic, wore Ray Costarella while Alize Cornet, with Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, wore a gorgeous red Ruth Tarvydas gown.
Teams Canada and USA represented North America well. Canadian darling Eugenie Bouchard, with Milos Raonic, looked beautiful in a gown by One Fell Swoop while Sloane Stephens, with John Isner, rocked a sparkly black Betty Tran gown.
Flavia Pennetta was, as always, gorgeous with Andreas Seppi while wearing a Steph Audino dress. One photo just doesn't do her justice.
Last but certainly not least, Petra Kvitova and Radek Stepanek looked dressed and ready to ring in the new year together and Aga Radwanksa looked flawlessly high-fashion on the arm of partner Grzegorz Panfil.

Terps still in the picture for Stephenson
Scratch that previous report about Lance Stephenson's finalists.
Stephenson told SNY.tv's Adam Zagoria today that Maryland's still in the running.
Stephenson said he will attend either "St. John's, Maryland [or] Kansas" and that he talks with coaches from each school every day.
Zagoria reported last night that the five-star shooting guard was focused on Kansas and St. John's.
So to recap, Maryland, Kansas and St. John's are all still in the running for Stephenson. He'll announce his choice April 1 at the McDonald's All-American Game in Miami.

Breaking Down Why MMA Is Not Legal In New York
18 Comments
cuervoplays March 20, 2012
I'm obviously an MMA fan (or wouldn't be on this site), and in favor of sanctioning in NY and elsewhere.
That said, I get tired of pro-MMA people supporting their arguments with comparisons to boxing. It's false logic and sounds retarded, especially when a person goes on and on about it. Just because something is safer than boxing doesn't mean it should be sanctioned. Move on to a different tactic.
Oh, and can anyone saying that MMA is the fastest growing sport produce a single stat to support that? Anyone?
gripman March 20, 2012
The argument sounds solid to me. Critics say the reason it shoudn't be sanctioned is that it isn't safe and mma advocates compare the safety stats to a sport that is already sanctioned. Ummmm…isn't that logic 101?
Oswald Cobblepot March 20, 2012
MMA is not legal in NY because the UFC does not align with productive organizations…boys & girls clubs, YMCA, colleges or universities…the same people that vote no to MMA vote yes to educational initiatives. Harley Davidson and Bud Light set the mood for UFC progress.
stu11 March 20, 2012
What sport do you think is growing faster? …Moron
J-Bone March 20, 2012
Not a fan at all of Mr Crowder, but a good video. Sonnen's point at the end sum's up a lot of societies fundamental problems, that being corrupt, slimeball politician's.
glassjoe March 20, 2012
Cuervoplays, which union are you are a part of???????
When the arguement that it is too dangerous for New York state as to why it is not allowed then you have have to defend it with the facts that boxing is a more dangerous sport. That is their arguement and it shows why utilizing that as an "excuse" when every other state in the union allows then it is bogus.
As for MMA being the fastest growing sport, here is your article:
JoeDog March 20, 2012
It's James Toney's fault?
Grape Soda March 20, 2012
Good video, thank you corrupt greedy unions and your gangster labor monopoly, killing revenue for NY because you want to run the table in the casino labor market.
Scum bags.
zmayo March 20, 2012
I dont live in NY so I dont care. I think its stupid people dont recognize it as a great sport. Boxing is a good comparison because its serious violence that's widely embraced.
cuervoplays March 20, 2012
Glassjoe: Not part of a union. I'm a pretty big MMA fan and I would love to see MMA sanctioned in NY.
Thanks for posting the article. Good read. The article shows that based on that study, in that market the UFC grew faster than other listed major sports during the years 2007-2009. That's not the same as being the fastest growing sport in the world, then or now.
Gripman: If you accept the premise that any sport that is not as dangerous as boxing should be sanctioned as a true premise, and convincing others of that is the key to sanctioning, then yes, it is logic 101. But in logic 101 we learn to identify a false premise. That is a false premise. It's like saying that MMA is safer than smoking, and smoking is legal in NY, so MMA should be legal. There are other reasons why it is not sanctioned in NY.
Stu11: I don't go around making claims that any sport is growing faster than others. I just think it would be nice if anyone could point to a single source that shows that the UFC is growing faster than any other sport. I haven't seen it yet.
Ozinator March 20, 2012
yeah, screw unions and working people making a stand altogether! If workers would just accept that they are greedy and instead take what master gives them, then awesome rulers like Lorenzo would pull their obedience sticks out of your uptight assets and trickle down your throats even more entertainment. War sycophancy!
kidfrosty March 21, 2012
I can't imagine what sport would be growing faster. It would be hard to quantify the individuals, but I would have to say that based soley on new storefronts in my area, martial arts, kickboxing, mma gyms, etc are out-pacing bocce ball by about a billion to one.
I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for the storyline in S.I. that mma officially ki11ed boxing.
kidfrosty March 21, 2012
New York City is a union stinkhole. Group-think morons with muscle…
marvelous mad madam mim March 21, 2012
this is nothing but NY gangsters battling Nevada gangsters
Goomba March 21, 2012
The fact that the study proved that it grew faster than any other sport during those years gives more credit to the notion that it is the fastest growing sport today because of the recent successes of the UFC, i.e. more international events and deal with Fox. While it doesn't one-hundred percent prove the point, it does give it more credit. You on the other hand, offer no evidence of the contrary.
You and I know Gripman's premise is not that any and all activities which are "safer" than other activities should be legalized. Grip's point is more specific than that. It compares two similar sports. You on the other and are comparing two completely unrelated activities: smoking and MMA. Therefore, it's not like comparing smoking and MMA.
You say you haven't seen any sources which say MMA is growing faster than any other sport, but state in your first paragraph, "in that market the UFC grew faster than other listed major sports during the years 2007-2009." You contradicted yourself throughout your entire post. Stop trying to sound smart broooooooo
KungFuLowKick March 21, 2012
Unions had their places 100 years ago when people had no working conditions,no minimum wage,no safety etc.Now countries have rules that if yuour boss is an *******,he will lose his buisness and you will sue him.The casino employee simply don't want a cut of their pay taken to make the salary of mobsters who don't do anything to improve the workers condition except stupid things like a work week of 39.5 hours instead of 40 or lame augmentations of 0.10$(wich is useless because they give more to the unions then they get back in augmentations).If you are for unions in 2012 in the USA,you should do some research.

Abstract: The Parareptilia are a small but ecologically and morphologically diverse clade of Permian and Triassic crown amniotes generally considered to be phylogenetically more proximal to eureptiles (diapsids and their kin) than to synapsids (mammals and their kin). A recent supertree provides impetus for an analysis of parareptile diversity through time and for examining the influence of the end-Permian mass extinction on the clade's origination and extinction rates. Phylogeny-corrected measures of diversity have a significant impact on both rates and the distribution of origination and extinction intensities. Time calibration generally results in a closer correspondence between origination and extinction rate values than in the case of no time correction. Near the end-Permian event, extinction levels are not significantly higher than origination levels, particularly when time calibration is introduced. Finally, regardless of time calibration and/or phylogenetic correction, the distribution of rates does not differ significantly from unimodal. The curves of rate values are discussed in the light of the numbers and distributions of both range extensions and ghost lineages. The disjoint time distributions of major parareptile clades (e.g. procolophonoids and nycteroleterids-pareiasaurs) are mostly responsible for the occurrence of long-range extensions throughout the Permian. Available data are not consistent with a model of sudden decline at the end-Permian but rather suggest a rapid alternation of originations and extinctions in a number of parareptile groups, both before and after the Permian/Triassic boundary.

i am in a bit of a dilemma. i am currently using a Britax car seat from 2008 that i had with my first daughter. I know it has/had flame retardants in it, but i have washed the inserts multiple times since then. i know some of the manufacturers have moved to new 'less toxic' flame retardants - but i am wondering, would there be less flame retardant in an old car seat that has been washed than in a new one with better standards?
they're all treated with flame retardants - old and new alike. the best thing to do is to wash, wash, wash. my understanding is that many, many washes will eventually remove flame retardants. even more so if the item is sun-dried.

A military working dog, once based at Camp Lejeune, will finally be adopted by the family of a fallen Marine.
The adoption of Lex seemed stalled until North Carolina Congressman Walter Jones stepped in on behalf of the family.
Corporal Dustin Lee, the dog's handler, was killed by a rocket-propelled grenade March 21st.
Lee's family wanted to adopt Lex, but met with a lot of red tape. Lex spent several months recovering from his his own injuries at Camp Lejeune and has since been reassigned to the Marine Logistics Base in Albany, Georgia.
This week the family was sent adoption papers and they hope to pick up Lex on December 21st, the 10 month anniversary of Lee's death.
This is the first time any military dog handler's family has been approved to adopt a military working dog.

Customer experience is a key differentiator for companies, and it can make or break customer acquisition, growth, and retention efforts. Positioned at the center of any customer-centric initiative is big data, and when it's added to the mix, brands can make better, more informed marketing decisions based on customer behavior.
Personalized experiences based on big data are even more engaging and effective when that data is interpreted and applied in real-time. However, many companies are not yet able or are unsure how to do so. In certain cases, if data lacks currency, the business can incur greater costs.
Take the everyday instance of a customer making a bank deposit in the morning and then checking her account online later that day. If those funds do not show up in her online account, not only is the customer's experience negatively affected, but the bank incurs a cost when the customer contacts the call center. A brand's ability to access and use big data in real time is critical for companies to get, grow, and keep customers.
Using this data also increases a brand's knowledge of individual customer preferences, which is critical for nurturing long-term customer relationships that are more loyal and of higher value. As more brands prioritize digital customer experiences, they must focus on which ones will be most successful. The answer is found in contextual experiences that meet the consumer's needs in the moment and are delivered via the most engaging digital medium: video.
According to Nielsen, more people reported watching video on a computer once a month than they watched on a TV during that time period. In addition, video consumption grew 13 percent from Q3 to Q4 2012, according to a new report by Adobe Digital Index.
The most critical element of applying contextual video for differentiated customer experiences is how to define success. What is the expected return on ad spend or the targeted cost reduction? What is the desired take rate on value-added services or the expected lift in Net Promoter score? Though benchmarks differ for each initiative, they all should start with a defined set of success criteria to be measured and optimized. Ultimately, new value opportunities exist for companies across all industries leveraging contextual video at each stage in the customer life cycle.
Implementing Contextual Video
A strategic imperative for many retailers today is to break the divide between in-store and online shopping experiences–and they can do this by using customer profile, historical, and situational data to engage the customer across both channels. After a customer browses products online to compare prices, a big-box retailer can deliver a smart video ad experience leveraging available inventory data and nearest physical store location, encouraging the customer to make a purchase online and pick up in-store.
In addition, retailers can combat showrooming–browsing products in-store to later buy online for less–by delivering a mobile video experience based on geolocation of the store, featuring the last product the customer viewed online, where in the store it is located, and a call-to-action to buy in-store with special pricing, existing rewards points or free shipping.
Smarter video ad programs not only improve a brand's customer experience, but they also deliver measurable financial impact for retailers. Because retailers effectively engage a highly relevant audience through an optimal medium–video–brands such as Office Depot realize significant return on ad spend.
Service industries in which customer experience is a top priority, including telecommunications, insurance, and banking, especially benefit from contextualized videos. Telecommunications providers are typically known for undesirable experiences at one of the most recurring, complex touch points with a customer: the monthly bill statement. Wireless carriers, such as AT&T, can educate new customers on the first month's bill and promote adoption of value-added services using personalized, real-time video.
These videos have earned more than 90 percent positive experience ratings and significantly reduce related calls to the contact center. By leveraging customer data, history, and usage patterns, carriers can use such videos further into the customer life cycle to right-size, retain, upsell, and reward.
Contextual engagement communicates the importance of each customer's relationship with a company throughout the entire consumer journey. Upselling recommendations may vary by customer history and transactional data, while merchandising messages can differ between techie and fashionista customer personas. A customer's status may also differ by segment. A repeat customer could be incented with an "earn special rewards" message, while a customer who hasn't purchased in months might receive a "welcome back" message.
When consumers feel appreciated and valued as individuals, brands can build and nurture long-term customer relationships. For brands differentiating themselves and leading the way in adopting a contextual approach to engaging customers with timely and relevant experiences through video, the value opportunities promise to be great.

text: Secret London opens its doors Wired Blog 18 September 09 by Katie Scott http://www.flickr.com/photos/criminalintent/237911147/Flickr CC: Larsz This weekend I shall be mostly nosing around other people's homes. Once a year, private buildings – from homes of special architectural worth through to secret government bunkers – are opened to the public for just two days. The reason: Open London, which is now in its 17th year. The event kicked off with a talk by author David Littlefield at one of the most magical places in the city, Wilton's – London's oldest music hall and the settings of countless films including Chaplin and Frankie Goes To Hollywood's infamous video for Relax. Littlefield talked about how buildings accumulate scars and wrinkles from the people who live in them, and argued that these imperfections add to rather than detract from them rather.He described a long-abandoned storage room next to the Roman baths in Bath, where ancient rubble and coins thrown into the atrium pool are strewn on the floor. The room is dark, dank and forgotten, but thanks to a hole drilled by mistake in one of its ways , the room now serves as a giant camera obscura, projecting images of visitors admiring the baths onto the opposite wall. However, this is completely unbeknown to all of the millions of people who walk past this room every year.And this is what Open London is all about – discovering places which are usually closed, or which you may never have noticed before.Here's our Wired highlights: – Underground 1940s bunker in Neasden with a map room, Cabinet Room and offices, protected by a five-feet-thick concrete roof– 17 St Augustine's Road, Camden: a rare example of a solid-walled Victorian house, which was refurbished in 2008 with the aim of reducing emissions by 80 per cent. – Biggin Hill Airfield – St George's RAF Chapel of Remembrance: a chapel built in the shape of an aircraft hangar, commemorating Second World War air and ground crew – Self-built straw bale building, Hackney City Farm – Village Underground: artists' studios made from former Tube train carriages – GlaxoSmithKline's Clinical Imaging Centre – Markfield Beam Engine and House in Haringey: the home of the original Wood Bros beam pumping engine Edited by Holden Frith Latest on wired.co.uk

The NCAA hockey coaches will begin meeting as a national body tonight in Florida to discuss a wide range of items in college hockey. As always, there are several big issues that need to be addressed and below are three that will generate some discussion. How much discussion? You never know.
Pretty much everyone can agree that the current setup of NCAA regionals is not working. You cannot play the biggest games of the year in front of the smallest crowds of the year. UND's regional final game against Yale, a contest with the Frozen Four on the line, drew the smallest crowd to any UND game in seven years.
It's terrible for the players. It's not good for the fans. And it looks awful on television.
How should it be fixed? That's something there isn't much agreement on.
Can ticket prices alone do it? They are certainly charging too much right now. Should they go back to campus venues with the top seed hosting? Should they go to a best of 3 series in the first round or first two rounds? That's all up for debate.
There are a lot of people against going back to campus sites, saying it gives too big of an advantage to the home teams. I certainly understand that argument. But to play devil's advocate, are the current sites right now truly neutral?
Under the current setup, we place regionals as close to possible of home sites, and in order to get attendance, places the local team there. Then, we call it neutral. I don't think it's as big of an advantage of playing in your home barn, but I do think it's an advantage (would opposing teams think it's neutral to play against UND in East Grand Forks or Grafton?).
Wouldn't it be more fair to let a top seed play at home, rather than a team whose administration successfully bid on a game down the road from home?
I don't think there are any perfect answers. There are a lot of smart coaches around the country and I'd like to hear some of their ideas.
But I think everyone can agree that something needs to change.
I also think the NCAA knows something needs to change. That's why, after 2014, no regionals have currently been scheduled. This has been a topic of discussion at the national meetings for a few years now, and it will be as hot of a topic as ever this week.
RPI coach Seth Appert brought up a very good point during the NCAA tournament.
The WCHA got six teams in the NCAAs, in part due to Wisconsin making the big run at the end and grabbing the automatic bid. But Appert pointed out that the six teams that made the NCAAs played 35 nonconference games at home and only 10 nonconference games on the road.
Under next year's setup, with powerhouse teams in the Big 10 and NCHC playing fewer conference games, they will beef up their nonconference schedule, playing most of those games at home.
Under the current system, a home win counts just the same as a road win. And we all know how big of a role that nonconference games play in the Pairwise. So, the teams that get to play almost all of their nonconference at home are not on equal footing as those who have to play almost all of them on the road.
Should the formula be altered? Should road nonconference wins be weighed differently than home ones? What's the best way to go about it?
That also should generate good discussion.
With the new emphasis on hits to the head, we may see more majors called in the future. At real time, this is a very, very difficult call for the referees on the ice and UND saw this first-hand twice last year.
Andrew MacWilliam was kicked out of two games for hits to the head when replays clearly showed that both hits were clean.
So this begs the question, should refs be allowed to use video replay when they are thinking about calling a major?
The drawback is that it could slow down the game significantly. Nobody wants that.
On the other side of the issue, half of the time, the refs sit and discuss the play for several minutes anyways. Why not spend that time watching what happened instead of guessing?
Yes, different arenas have different numbers of cameras to catch these things. So, at some, it would not perhaps not be possible to get a good look. But if it is possible, should video review be allowed?
Like I said, there are a lot of very intelligent coaches around the country and there will certainly be great discussion on these issues. As info leaks out of there, I will update on it.
In the meantime, what are your thoughts on the issues?

USB-IF Announces USB 3.0 10 Gbps Development, Demos Power Delivery and Display Drivingby Brian Klug on January 12, 2013 10:37 PM EST
- Posted in
- Trade Shows
I stopped by the USB Implementers Forum booth, where they had both an interesting non-final demonstration of the new USB Power Delivery specification and some news about the new 10 Gbps USB 3.0 development specification. First, the 10 Gbps USB 3.0 development announcement stipulates continued use of the same cables and connectors for higher throughput, and although there will be a 10 Gbps certification program for cables the USB-IF expects almost all but the lowest end cables to pass without any reworking. I'm told that the newer revision enables 10 Gbps by using more efficient coding and also enables improved power efficiency.
The standard is in development presently and should be completed by the middle of the year. It will then take the normal development cycle for silicon and controllers to make it onto the market. The USB 3.0 specification stipulates a meter long cable that's entirely passive, as opposed to other active solutions on the market presently. Longer lengths will require active componentry.
I also wasn't aware but earlier this year the USB-IF finished the SSIC (SuperSpeed Inter Chip) specification which is essentially the USB 3.0 analog of HSIC (HighSpeed Inter Chip - USB 2.0). This is hugely important for smartphones and tablets where the limits of HSIC are already being encroached upon or actively hit with certain 2x2 802.11a/b/g/n combos, and will be a problem with 802.11ac combos. In addition I fully expect to see future SoCs implement SSIC for use with both these 802.11ac combos and faster 3GPP Release 10 or Category 4 basebands where there is a lot of attention as throughput continues to increase.
Next up was a demonstration of the USB Power Delivery (PD1.0) specification working in conjunction with display driving. The USB-IF modified a Lenovo X300 notebook to accept power through USB 3.0 and the PD specification, and used a power delivery mechanism on the middle display to both power it, and the notebook with 65W. At the end of the daisy chain was a thumb drive plugged into the last monitor's hub which was available to read on the notebook.
The X300 was running Vista oddly enough, which took a while to enumerate and connect to the other two displays, but did indeed simultaneously drive both a 1080p and 2048x1156 display through a daisy chain with good fluidity for a non-final demo. This combination of specifications is clearly USB-IF's response to Thunderbolt, and looks like a possibly even more impressive solution thanks to the ability to simultaneously drive the displays and charge the notebook over one cable.

Have you ever walked away from talking with someone that you've just met and thought to yourself "Wow, this was one of the best conversations I've ever had!"? I've recently had one of those and at first I quite selfishly concluded "Wow, I'm a great communicator". But then I realized, hang on a second, I think this other person was the reason I felt so good about this talk, how did he do that?
I started to think about a few of the things this person did, that made me feel so comfortable and open to speak with him. In usual Buffer blog manner, I thought of finding some real science to back up some of the simple habits this newly found friend had so ingrained when talking with me.
So what I've come up with are 5 of the most effective habits famous communicators have used for hundreds of years. Recently some new science studies have backed up their claims and I feel it makes for a very compelling case to overhaul my own communication efforts and maybe it's some inspiration for you too!
Let's dig in:

Hacks/Hackers Media Party (Mediathon + Hackathon en Buenos Aires)
Hacks/Hackers Buenos Aires is pleased to invite journalists, organizations, software programmers, designers, and editors to a three-day series of talks/keynotes and workshops, and a super hackathon to work towards building the future of the media. Some of the keynote speakers are the members of The Guardian Interactive team (Alastair Dant, Jonathan Richards, Mariana Santos, Alex Graul, Robin Beitra, Nicola Hughs), Tyson Evan, deputy editor for interactive news at The New York Times, Justin Arenstein Knight Fellow digital media strategist and media consultant at Google and ICFJ, and Dan Sinker, director of the Knight-Mozilla OpenNews project. Further international participants will be announced soon.
The Conference will be coordinated by LibreBus, an Derechos Digitales NGO, Creative Commons and Mozilla project, which comes to Buenos Aires through four latinamerican countries.
The Hackathon conclusions will be especially considered by the Knight Foudnation Prototype program, which grants of up to 50 thousand dollars. Follow the updates on http://hhba.info and http://meetupba.hackshackers.com
Venue: Centro Cultural Konex, Sarmiento 3151, Ciudad Autónoma de Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Date: 30-31 August and 1 September
All talks and workshops are of free and public access, expect the workshop led by the team of The Guardian, which has a registration fee. To register for this Conference, visit the website of Hack/Hackers Buenos Aires at http://meetupba.hackshackers.com and confirm for each day separately. To participate in the workshop led by the staff of The Guardian, register through Meetup to be included in a waiting list and you will be contacted shortly by Hacks/Hackers Buenos Aires to make the payment.
Why this Conference?
We have built the largest community of Hacks/Hackers in South America and the fifth largest in the world after the ones in New York, San Francisco, London, and Boston. Hacks/Hackers Buenos Aires has 750 members and it keeps growing. Since April 2011, we have organized 13 conferences, hackathons and meetups, and we have supported several programs and projects related to communication and technology. It is about time to come meet us.
Hacks/Hackers is an meetup group for journalists and software programmers to meet worldwide and collaborate in building the future of the media. It is part of a growing organization which first met in San Francisco in 2009 and has now over ten thousand members and almost 40 chapters. It is a non-profit project, with no other affiliations. Hacks/Hackers was created by Burt Herman (Storify.com), Rich Gordon, and Aron Pilhofer of the New York Times, and it is the best networking place worldwide for journalist and technologists to find relations, products, services, and ideas.
Here is a description of the workshop led by the Guardian interactive team
The Guardian Interactive team will present a 6hr workshop where the aim is to guide groups through the creation of interactive content within a multi-disciplinary team: from early concept work through early designs/mock-ups, interaction design, data processing (if needed), and, depending how far teams get, prototyping. The aim of the workshop will be to unmask some of the processes inside a large, media organisation, in particular the adherence to tight deadlines, decision-making, and prioritisation, and to provide support on specific skills, including editing, interaction/motion design, and development.
The end result might be a set of wireframes or, with some luck, a piece with a few moving parts.
You will need to bring your laptop, and lots of energy.
The team is formed of: Alastair Dant – lead interactive developer, Jonathan Richards – interactive journalist, Mariana Santos- interactive and motion designer, Alex Graul – interactive developer, Robin Beitra – interactive and game developer, Nicola Hughes – from Knight Mozilla program, data researcher.
This team is able to deliver from A to Z any interactive project using data, following the new ways of delivering news, with a sharp eye for innovation.

This month we take a look at Independent Animators and Recruiting &
Jobs. We have a profile of Ladislav Starewicz and Simon Pummell.
Martin "Dr. Toon" Goodman draws some correlations between two
independents named John - guaranteed you'll be surprised. Heather
Kenyon reveals that whether used by established filmmakers or
up-and-coming youngsters, the Internet is proving to be a very
versatile tool helping everyone gain a little more freedom and
independence. With all the hubbub recently in Los Angeles about
artists being out of work, runaway productions and the well attended
PBS affiliate station picket, Heather Kenyon sat down with Tom Sito
to talk. Larry Lauria touches base with DreamWorks' Frank Gladstone
to learn the latest on what studios expect to see in portfolios, and
Larry also offers some college finding tips to help prospective
students make the right choices for them. Plus, there's much, much
more like film and event reviews.
