Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA), a leading developer of low-power, HD video compression and image processing semiconductors, today introduced S2L, a family of Full HD camera System on Chips (SoCs) designed for consumer, small business and professional IP-camera security applications. The S2L's Smart-AVCTM H.264 low bitrate streaming technology significantly reduces network bandwidth requirements, lowers cloud storage costs and supports the use of multiple cameras in home environments. Its flexible ARM Cortex-A9 CPU provides the performance required for intelligent video analytics such as intrusion detection, or audio analytics such as breaking glass detection. Additionally, the S2L dewarper can correct images captured from wide angle lenses to enable cameras that cover a wide viewing area.
"The S2L family brings advanced professional features to mainstream and consumer IP cameras, including Full HD video, High Dynamic Range (HDR) image processing, advanced analytics and wide angle viewing," said Chris Day, VP of Marketing and Business Development at Ambarella. "Designed in an advanced 28nm process, S2L enables a new generation of intelligent, ultra-low power and small form factor IP cameras with outstanding video quality."
The S2L family includes a series of software-compatible SoCs that range from 720p30 up to 1080p60 H.264 video and up to 5 MP resolution. Multi-exposure fusion HDR and Motion Compensated Temporal Filtering (MCTF) noise reduction deliver outstanding image quality even in challenging lighting conditions. The S2L includes a USB 2.0 host interface for direct connectivity to the latest WiFi chips for low cost, wide range wireless cameras. Power consumption for 1080p30 encoding is under 500mW including DRAM, enabling the development of small form factor or battery operated cameras.
S2L Feature Summary
- 1080p60 H.264 encoding with multi-stream support to enable independent resolutions, frame rate and quality (for example 1080p60 H.264 + 720p30 H.264 + 480p30 H.264 + MJPEG 1fps)
- H.264-compliant Smart-AVC streaming for bitrates as low as 600kbps for 1080p30, and 300kbps for 720p30
- Advanced dynamic range (WDR and HDR) engine with multi-exposure fusion
- ARM Cortex-A9 CPU with NEON DSP extensions, Floating Point Unit (FPU), and 128KB L2 cache provides headroom for customer applications as well as intelligent analytics processing
- Real-time hardware-accelerated de-warping engine
- Image Sensor Pipeline with high speed SLVS/MIPI/LVCMOS interfaces, supporting up to 14 Megapixel (MP) sensor resolution and 480MPixel/s data rate
- Rich set of interfaces includes 10/100Mbps Ethernet, USB 2.0 host and device, three SD card controllers with SDXC support
- Small 11x11mm package available
Pricing and Availability
The S2L SoC family will be demonstrated at the ISC West 2014 International Security Exhibition and Exposition in Las Vegas from April 2-4, 2014. Invitations to ISC West or product and pricing information can be obtained directly from Ambarella.

The essence of data analysis involves setting up data pipelines that consist of several operations that are chained together – starting from data collection, data quality checks, data integration, data analysis and data visualization (including the setting up of interaction paths in that visualization). In our opinion, the challenges stem from the technology diversity at each stage of the data pipeline as well as the lack of process around the analysis.

Wayans had appeared in several national commercials before he spent three years as a regular on the sketch comedy series "In Living Color" (Fox, 1990-93), which also featured brothers Keenen, Damon and Shawn and sister Kim. The actor almost got a major Hollywood break when he was cast as a Robin-like character in the hugely anticipated sequel "Batman Returns" (1992), but his sequences as a modern-day sidekick to the Dark Knight ultimately ended up on the cutting room floor. He and brother Shawn later teamed as co-writers and co-stars of the feature spoof "Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood" (1996) and as co-creators and co-stars of the sitcom "The Wayans...

Doesn't the buyout decrease substantially on December 1st, too (ignoring effect of NCAA sanctions)?

No idea.

After Dec. 1, the $7.5 million buyout decreases by $208,334 per month for the next year and $125,000 per month for a year following Dec. 1, 2013.
Looks like the buyout decreases in a week, regardless of what the NCAA does.
49-0 LOL. Bye-bye gene

Ya I woulda liked to see Saban pound the knife in harder.
If Chizik ever coaches against Iowa State in any capacity, we better pound it in as much as possible if we have the opportunity.

Thats too bad but one of those things I'll just have to deal with. Hopefully I can locate a good out of the way spot. Does anyone know about how the wilderness areas (Apache Kid and Withington) are, I will be on foot but if I can get away from the hunting pressure there I'm willing to work harder.
I did not notice a huge problem with pressure the times I was there. Yes, there where hunters out and some of the water holes had people set up on them. Did not have a problem getting away from the people and getting into Elk. I really enjoy hunting NM, the people there are great and the Elk are incredible.
I hope to find one of those places that has the fantastic elk. There were only 75 tags for the public land on that first hunt and it is a pretty big area. I've been looking at several different maps and google earth plus I have an SD card for my GPS that covers the whole state in pretty good detail. Will be going down there this week for a few days to check things out, I know that the elk will likely be in different places by the time my hunt comes around but I will have sometime in mid August to do some more scouting.
Good luck jruet19! Its good your going to get down there to do a preliminary scout, checking out access points and finding some water holes. With only 75 tags, you should have a great chance and a very high quality bull. Sounds like you are willing to work, so getting away from folks will not be that difficult.
Yep, you sure got that right!!!Probably for a guy from Illinois there didnt seem like there was a lot of pressure because your used to seeing more people than I am.
Just got back from a pre-pre scouting trip. Saw a ton of turkeys, just a week after the spring turkey hunt. Saw a few elk on private land and found some nice deer sheds off of forest road 478.
my 16 year old son drew this muzzleloader tag unit 17 oct 4-8 I know nothing of the area just swant to get as big as I can for him.im from mt so just comin down early is only scout option without help.not afraid to hike
I wish ya the best on that hunt. Seems like that would be a great time to be there. Start yourself a new thread, this one is old. You may get some better info. Good luck!!

Eigenmodes in a Muffler
Application ID: 8547
In this model, compute the propagating modes in the chamber of an automotive muffler. The geometry is a cross-section of the chamber in the Absorptive Muffler example.
The model's purpose is to study the shape of the propagating modes and to find their cut-off frequencies. As discussed in the documentation for the Absorptive Muffler, some of the modes significantly affect the damping of the muffler at frequencies above their cut-off. In this model, you study modes with cut-off frequencies up to 1500 Hz.

Estes Park, Loveland citizens share ideas during alternative design workshops for Estes-Flatiron transmission project
Neighbors, local government officials and Western representatives gathered around a large map during workshop meetings, Oct. 2 to 4, where they discussed options for an upgrade to combine two transmission lines into one right of way. Both lines feed the Town of Estes and other nearby communities in Colorado with energy.
Drawing alternative routes with colored markers, neighbors talked about how different paths for the power line could impact the environment, their neighbors and the scenic views of their town and surrounding national forests. For some participants, it was an educational experience in the complexity of differing views and issues that came up regarding their ideas.
The collective thoughts and considerations of these engaged citizens will help Western Area Power Administration determine the alternatives it will review in its draft environmental impact statement for the Estes-Flatiron Transmission Line Rebuild Project.
Western is preparing to analyze how different alternatives for rebuilding or maintaining the transmission system will provide reliable power and impact the environment, landowners and surrounding communities. With high public interest for this project, Western extended the scoping period through Oct. 19 to work with the local communities to:
- Identify transmission line route options
- Gather input on design/structure features
- Understand the many issues and impacts with any alternative route
Get involved
If you would like to provide input on route alternatives or structure design, take the time to examine the scoping and alternative development materials and reply to Western by Oct. 19. The input will help Western and cooperating agencies identify alternatives to be analyzed in the draft environmental impact statement.

Associated Press Release
By GARY GRAVES
AP Sports Writer
Lexington, KY (AP) -November 27, 2012- Kentucky has hired Florida State defensive coordinator Mark Stoops as its new football coach.
The university announced Tuesday that Stoops will replace Joker Phillips, who was fired on Nov. 4. Phillips went 13-24 in three seasons at Kentucky.
The 45-year-old Stoops will be introduced here at a news conference on Sunday. No. 13 Florida State (10-2) plays Georgia Tech in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game on Saturday.
Stoops, brother of Oklahoma's Bob Stoops, has been the Seminoles' defensive coordinator the past three seasons. Florida State's defense was ranked 108th when he took over and he has turned the Seminoles into one of the nation's top defensive teams.
The Seminoles have the nation's second-ranked defense, giving up 249.4 yards per game. Kentucky allowed 391 yards a contest this season.

Hello All,
I'm having a strange issue with a new theme (skin) we've added to Zimbra.
In "skin.css" file I used some rules with CSS attribute selectors to highlight unread messages. The following is an example one:
This skin has been deployed on ZCS 7.2.4 NE.Code:.ZmTradView .DwtListView .Row .Unread TD[id$='su'] { color: #ff0000; }
The problem is that IE doesn't recognize these rules when loads the page; Firefox and Chrome are working well instead.
I verified that only the rules with these "CSS attribute selectors" are not recognized, other normal rules are working fine, so I think skin is working well.
The strange fact is that if I simply try to change the color code using the IE debug, then the rule is executed... I was thinking to a cache problem, but no, the CSS is loading fine with my skin rules.
Reading on the web, these rules are supported by IE9 as described here W3schools css attrbute selector
Maybe is the Zimbra "doctype" involved?
I'm using IE9, but in IE8 and IE7 mode is the same.
Any hints, thoughts?
Thank you

PHOTOS: Florida's rejected license plates aren't always offensive
Sarasota, Florida -- A man who apparently has trouble following directions was arrested for driving away from a Sarasota courthouse, right after being told by a judge not to drive.
Sarasota Sheriff's officials say Lashay Smith was arrested for driving with a suspended or revoked license -- for the sixth time -- and appeared before a judge on contempt charges. The judge told him not to drive, but as he left the courtroom, deputies watched as he drove off in a white Mercury sedan.
Smith, 45, was immediately taken into custody.
In all, the sheriff's office says this is Smith's 50th arrest in Sarasota County for a variety of crimes, including False Imprisonment, Battery and Sale and Possession of Rock Cocaine. Half of those arrests were for Violation of Probation and Contempt of Court.

Suicide Death of Cleveland Kidnapper Castro Spurs Investigation
The man facing a total of one thousand years in prison for his kidnapping, rape, and abuse of three Cleveland women was found hanging in his prison cell on Sept. 4.
Ariel Castro, 53, pleaded guilty in July to 937 different charges connected to his imprisonment of the women over a decade, but lasted only a month inside his own Orient, Ohio prison cell.
"Castro was found hanging in his cell at approximately 9:20 p.m. and was pronounced dead at 10:52 p.m. at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center," according to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction.
"Castro was admitted to prison on August 2, 2013, and was placed in protective custody, a level of custody maintained for certain inmates that entails housing them in a single-occupancy cell and keeping them under close watch, with corrections officers making security rounds at staggered 30-minute intervals," the department said in a statement.
The Ohio branch of the American Civil Liberties Union has requested that Castro's death receive a full investigation, claiming that death by alleged suicide is not justice.
"The death of any individual while in state custody must be taken very seriously and fully investigated. As horrifying as Mr. Castro's crimes may be, the state has a responsibility to ensure his safety from himself and others," Ohio ACLU Executive Director Christine Link said in a release. "Questions remain whether Mr. Castro was properly screened for suicide risk and mental illness. Prisons officials must address these issues, not only to fully account for how Mr. Castro was able to commit suicide, but also to prevent this from occurring again."
Department of Rehabilitation and Correction officials say a mortality review has already begun, a process which will include an investigation into whether proper steps were being taken to ensure and appropriately address Castro's mental and medical health.
According to an FBI profile, Michelle Knight spent a total of 11 years in Castro's house after she was kidnapped in 2002, and Gina DeJesus was just 14 when she was taken in 2004. Castro also kidnapped Amanda Berry just blocks from her home as she returned from a shift at a local fast food restaurant on Apr. 21, 2003, the day before her 17th birthday.
Aside from the torture of the three women, Castro was also charged for holding his six-year-old daughter, a product of his abuse of Berry, captive.
Since Castro's arrest and conviction, officials have razed the Castro's house in the 2200 block of Seymour Avenue.
"Roughly a half-acre has been cleared for whatever positive use the residents and stakeholders of the neighborhood decide to pursue," said Timothy J. McGinty, prosecutor for Ohio's Cuyahoga County. "The courage, perseverance and continued recovery of Castro's victims inspires us all. The new face of Seymour Avenue should, too."

In the Garfield County real estate market, there are many opportunities to purchase distressed real estate as an investment. There are many great properties priced far below what it cost to build. As an added benefit, the rental market is quite good at this time, and you can purchase properties that actually have positive cash flow.
Self-directed Individual Retirement Account fraud is a big problem, as more and more people lose their retirement savings to these types of scams.
With the stock market struggling over the past few years, the self-directed IRA industry has shown tremendous growth. Naturally, investors have been drawn to these IRAs because of the investment freedom they provide. It's a way to invest outside the stock market and into things like precious metals, real estate and others.
The problem is fraudsters have paid attention to this trend, and are taking advantage of the opportunity. Many self-directed IRA investors are fairly unsophisticated, so they're easy targets for scammers. But with a little education, that doesn't have to be the case.
Make sure your self-directed IRA custodian is properly licensed. These custodians - as with all custodians - are required by law to be licensed. A self-directed IRA custodian can take several forms, however, so make sure you understand if your custodian is a bank or a trust company. You might also hear a company say they are a third party administrator, or TPA.
A TPA handles most of the administrative work on your account, and will be the point of contact for your account, but your funds must still be held with an actual custodian (either a bank or a trust company). If you work with a TPA, you will want to find out who their custodian partner is (which is required to be disclosed in your agreement) and then verify the licensing for that company.
To verify licensing of a bank or trust company, find out which state licenses them. Then go to that state's Department of Banking website and perform a quick search. You should find a link that allows you to verify licensing for regulated financial institutions in that state.
When the time comes to roll your retirement funds from your old account(s) to the new self-directed IRA, make sure the funds are going to the licensed custodian you previously verified - especially if you are using a TPA (they should never handle your funds). Even if you are setting up a self-directed IRA LLC, the funds must go to the self-directed IRA custodian first. After that, they should go to your bank account.
Perform extensive due-diligence on investment promoters. Most of the self-directed IRA fraud today is coming from investment promoters looking to sell investors on great investment opportunities they can make with these IRAs. These promoters understand one of the biggest challenges self-directed IRA investors have is choosing what to invest in. With a traditional IRA, investment options are limited, so deciding on what to invest in is much easier. The promoters talk about why their investment is the best, and then typically promise you tantalizing returns, often even guaranteeing them. This should be an immediate red flag.
If you are considering working with one of these investment promoters (and there are good ones out there), you must perform extensive due diligence. The Internet is an extremely useful tool, but it shouldn't necessarily be your only tool. Here is a list of some due diligence steps you should take:
1. Verify the company is actually licensed. This is a quick and easy search to perform, and while most scammers are smart enough to get a business license, if they don't, you can end talks right there.
2. Verify the company has a physical office, staff and so on. Again, many of these companies will have all those things, but you can weed out some of the bad guys. Even if you can't go to the location in person, use Google Street View and other online means to verify the company's presence.
3. Ask for references, and then reach out to them. Make sure to ask them some generic questions about the company, employees, etc., as well as their experience with the investment. You want to ensure the facts the company gave you match up with this person's story. Also, do a quick Google search on the references they give you to ensure they are real people.
4. Verify the company's investment activity. If you are working with a real estate company, ensure they actually are buying and selling homes in the area. If you are looking to invest with a fund, make sure they are actually making investments. Ponzi schemes are one of the biggest scams out there, and one of the tell-tale signs of a Ponzi scheme is the company doesn't make the investments they say they are making. So make sure you can verify they are investing in what they say they are.
5. Check out the company and its founder(s). Look at Internet message boards, check with the Better Business Bureau and even call the Securities and Exchange Commission to ensure no complaints have been brought up against the company or its founder(s).
If you perform these tasks, you should be able to weed out most fraudulent companies. Don't be afraid to ask for help. Anytime you are preparing to invest large sums of money, it's good to get a second opinion. Rather than relying on your infinite wisdom, talk through the investment with a trusted financial advisor, certified public accountant or attorney. Make sure to go over what you found in your due diligence. It might surprise you how often they will spot something you previously overlooked.
Don't be afraid to walk away. After you put a lot of time and energy into investigating a particular investment opportunity, it can be extremely difficult to cut your losses and walk away. But it's something you have to be able to do. If the company failed somewhere along the line in your due diligence, or even if you just have a bad feeling in your gut, walk away. Remember, you're talking about your retirement money here, not just some extra money you have laying around, burning a hole in your pocket. If things don't look, feel and smell great, move on.
Self-directed IRAs can be an extremely valuable tool in helping you achieve your retirement goals, but for fraud victims, they can easily turn into a nightmare. Follow these tips to help ensure you don't become the next victim. If you have been a victim of self-directed IRA fraud, make sure to notify the SEC and the Better Business Bureau.
At least you can help keep future investors from falling into the same trap.

Mears Holds 12th in Points After Strong PIR Finish - P14 in GEICO Chevy SS
Posted by: lori on Mar 03, 2014
Tagged in: Untagged
Avondale, AZ (March 2, 2014) - Casey Mears and his GEICO team departed Daytona a week ago with a 10th place finish and they eagerly anticipated their arrival in Phoenix. Many off-season changes, including a switch to Chevrolet and a new technical alliance with Richard Childress Racing, has turned the Germain Racing crew into incurable optimists. Phoenix would also offer them their first opportunity to confront the new qualifying format, which they ultimately handled just fine.
When the first practice session concluded on Friday, Mears and his #13 GEICO Chevrolet SS sat 22nd on the board. Later that afternoon, the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series would take to the track for the new group-qualifying format in which drivers would battle to be in the top 12 fastest cars in an attempt to advance into the final qualifying round. Mears laid down a fast time, but on his second run was blocked by a fellow competitor, thwarting his attempt to reach the next round. However, his strong qualifying run would place him 18th on the starting grid, a 25-position improvement from a year ago, and just ahead of Matt Kenseth and Tony Stewart.
While rain blanketed the Phoenix area over the course of the opening segment of the weekend, Sunday presented only bright sunshine when the cars lined up to go racing. When the green flag got The Profit on CNBC 500 underway, Mears started 18th, but by lap nine was running in the 21st position. Mears radioed to crew chief, Bootie Barker: "It turns so bad in (turns) one and two that I have to go to third every time." Three laps later Barker updated Mears on his progress: "Your last three laps are your fastest so far." And, lap 27 heard Barker echo more of the same: "Casey, your lap times are competitive, you're doing fine."
While Mears battled handling issues early on, the GEICO crew solidified a plan and executed promptly when caution periods allowed. By lap 118, Mears and his #13 GEICO Chevy were among the fastest racecars on the track, turning in top five and top ten lap times. Barker's radio communication on lap 148 served as confirmation: "Whatever you're doing, Casey, keep doing it." And, he did. After going down a lap, the Bakersfield, CA, native aggressively pedaled the GEICO machine around the one-mile facility until he found himself in the Lucky Dog position on lap 251. The racing gods smiled upon Mears when debris in turn one saw the caution flag displayed with 35 laps remaining, allowing the #13 GEICO Chevrolet SS to return to the lead lap.
Mears restarted in the 18th position with 30 laps to go, but three laps later David Gilliland cut a tire and brought out the yellow flag. Barker said to Mears, "Now, you can go racing." Mears did just that when the flagman set the field back under green with 21 laps remaining. He quickly moved up to 14th before Kurt Busch lost an engine and brought out the event's eighth and final caution flag of the day with 15 to go. After taking the green flag with nine laps left on the docket, Mears sat strong in 14th and surrendered no positions before turning in a 14th place finish in the second race of the 2014 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series season. His top 15 finish serves as a nice encore to the top 10 he recorded at the Daytona 500 a week earlier. He currently sits 11th in the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series point standings heading into Las Vegas.
"We had a good day and the Germain Racing crew did a nice job of making adjustments to our #13 GEICO Chevrolet SS, which certainly helped me as the race wore on," Mears said after climbing from his car following 312 laps of racing. "We're achieving our goals and it's clear that we have potential. We're focused on getting better and continuing to learn more about this car and working closely with RCR (Richard Childress Racing) and Chevrolet to keep building this GEICO program." He continued, "We left Daytona with a top 10, and now we get a 14th place finish in Phoenix, so we're achieving consistency and the key will be to maintain that as the season progresses. We're sitting 11th in points, which says a lot about our team and how hard these guys have worked and it's also good for our sponsors, GEICO and KMC Wheels." He also noted, "Today was Bootie's (Barker, crew chief) birthday, so I'm glad we could give him a good race."
Next week, Mears and the GEICO team hope that Lady Luck will be on their side as they travel to Las Vegas, Nevada, for race number three of the 2014 season.
Mears and the #13 GEICO Chevrolet SS will hit the track at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Thursday, March 6th, for a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series test from 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM (ET).
The weekend's opening practice session is on Friday, March 7th, at 2:00 PM (ET). Qualifying will follow at 6:40 PM (ET).
The Kobalt 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race is on Sunday, March 9th, and it will be televised live on FOX beginning at 3:00 PM (ET). The Performance Racing Network (PRN) will carry the live radio broadcast.

When B-Live managing director Caroline Hollings was preparing for the 2001 Safeway Picnic with Pavarotti in Hyde Park, she was surprised to be told that the legendary tenor could not be let anywhere near the colour purple as it signifies death in opera circles.
So she was somewhat taken aback when his management refused to allow him to host the £600-a-ticket after-show gala dinner because of flowers that were - to most people's eyes - blue.
"The marquee had been transformed into a lush garden complete with waterfalls but they were convinced that some flowers were too purple for Pavarotti. We had to fill a skip with them at the back of the marquee," says Hollings. "Pavarotti saw the skip and asked why it was full of flowers. I explained that we'd removed them because they were purple. He replied: 'These are not purple, they are beautiful baby blue.'"
Hollings had spent five years as an account director for Triangle Group at the time of the 2001 Safeway event. The company now comprises Triangle, Lime and B-Live. In 2000, a US term, 'Retailtainment' was on everyone's lips and Hollings was asked to develop the concept, starting with an Italian promotion for Safeway.
"The budget was spent on recreating Italian regions in supermarket aisles and re-enacting 1960s crime caper The Italian Job with the Mini Club of Great Britain at stores, when the client asked to have either Michael Caine or Pavarotti to launch the promotion. In the most flippant manner, I retorted that if they wanted Pavarotti, why didn't we just stick him in Hyde Park and make him sing for his supper and sell tickets from supermarket check-outs. It all went very quiet but they then asked me to develop the idea."
The self-styled "Leeds lass" realised she was on to a winner when Coca-Cola and Foster's offered her huge sums to be involved. "I made both brands carry out Italian promotions in the run-up to the event to justify their presence," she says.
Hollings launched B-Live off the back of Pavarotti and shortly after Triangle was bought out by Publicis Groupe, the world's fourth largest communications company. The 31-year-old organiser now has access to brands through a host of sister companies including Saatchi & Saatchi and a reach to 38,000 Publicis employees in 109 countries.
"B-Live was a hybrid of my experiences as a producer and a 19-year-old deputy head of music for local radio in Leeds, where I staged parties in the park with 22 acts for two years," she says. "We work autonomously from the other Publicis companies but we can draft in help and we often get work via referrals."
The most recent referral came via Publicis chairman Maurice Levy, who convinced the French ambassador to commemorate 100 years of the Entente Cordiale between France and Britain.
"It couldn't be funded by government monies so they pulled together a group of sponsors. My clients were the British embassy, the French embassy, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office and its equivalent in France. By the time the funds were released I had only seven weeks to stage the event," remembers Hollings.
Rendezvous 100, the resulting free concert took place at Wembley Arena on 18 September and attracted 15,000 people to watch UK acts including Liberty X, Lulu and Blue, plus French stars including rock band Manu Lanvin and Jane Birkin. According to Hollings, the event was a "tour de force" of French and English artists interacting - with no calls to ban the colour purple.
Events held in Trafalgar Square ... It could be the entertainment centre of London. We staged a David Gray concert in August 2003 for 14,000 people and the Met Police went on record saying the event was better organised than Robbie Williams' Knebworth concert.
Brand-owned events ... A brand can sponsor an event and achieve brand awareness across something that already exists but if they own it, they're actually creating it to fit with the brand's values. By taking the risk as a promoter brands can get directly to their target market.
The Millennium Dome ... When it's cooked and ready I'll use it for large-scale brand events, but I'm always on the look out for unique spaces. It won't be unique for long after it opens but it will have an appeal.
The London 2012 Olympics bid ... A successful bid for the Games will result in a host of brands wishing to own events. The number two brands that will not be taking sponsorship of the Olympics, they're the ones to watch out for. I'm a supporter of guerrilla marketing so long as it's not sneaky to the point of illegal.

Miami International targets wildlife smugglers
Published: Sunday, August 3, 2014 at 6:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Sunday, August 3, 2014 at 12:13 a.m.
MIAMI (AP) — From live flying squirrels to rare jaguar pelts, wildlife inspectors at Miami International Airport say they are in a constant battle to keep illegal animal imports from entering the country.
The Miami Herald (http://hrld.us/1oZrbIx ) reported on Saturday that the Miami International leads the nation in shipments of both living and dead animals.
One in every three wildlife inspections at the busy airports leads to law enforcement involvement, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
The agency recently discovered an illegal shipment of 200 flying squirrels. Illegal animal products confiscated at the airport include a South American jaguar pelt, a caiman alligator skin and a sea turtle shell.
David Pharo, resident agent in charge of law enforcement for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in South Florida, said many shipments have bogus permits for zoos and circuses. Pharo said smugglers also like to hide banned animals in shipments with similar animals that are approved for import.
The federal agency's nine local inspectors are overwhelmed by the volume of illegal animal imports passing through Miami's main airport, he said.
In 2013, importers at the airport declared 11,000 international shipments of live wildlife — and there's no way to accurately estimate undeclared smuggling, he said.
Inspectors can examine only about 20 percent of the flow, he said.
Many of the illegal shipments involving corals, invasive marine species or endangered marine species," he said.
Last year, Pharo's office uncovered several conspiracies involving aquariums in other states like Idaho and Michigan that were illegally harvesting marine life from the Keys and then ferrying them back north. Pharo said the cases highlight how Miami so often figures in the smuggling trade, from cocaine to corals.
"There always seems to be a Miami connection somewhere along the way," Pharo said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - The local journalist who was the ghost writer of Paula Broadwell's now-infamous biography of General David Petraeus has broken his silence.
Before becoming Paula Broadwell, she was Paula Kranz, an extremely ambitious North Dakota high school student. She was student body president, class valedictorian, a star athlete and homecoming queen. Ironically, her classmates voted her "most likely to be remembered."
"I was dumbfounded when I heard about the affair, " said Veron Loeb, who worked with Paula Broadwell for 16 months on the book. She did all the reporting on General Petraeus. He crafted the narrative.
"What was a question in my mind, quite frankly, was why General Petraeus was granting Paula Broadwell, the kind of access he granted her?" Loeb said. 13 (Vernon Loeb/Wash Post Editor)
A question among many, since Broadwell had never written a book and had no journalistic experience. Loeb speculates Petraeus viewed her as someone he could control.
"She got a lot of face time with the General, during her reporting trips to Iraq. ... He was the Commander of the war. She spent hours interviewing him," Loeb said. "Through him, she obtained access to all of his commanders."
Loeb believes Broadwell had no idea her affair with the four-star general was going public on Friday. She and her husband were in Virginia celebrating her 40th birthday, with a party planned for Saturday night in D.C. Broadwell's husband reportedly cancelled it via email hours before.
"I'm sure both of them look back at what has now transpired and realize they've both made the biggest mistakes of their lives," Loeb said.
The scandal has, not surprisingly, boosted sales of her book. It went from a modest Amazon.com ranking of 76,792 on Friday when General Petraeus resigned, to a ranking of 159 Tuesday.

PCC in the News
News: Badminton Rebounds With 19-2 Win Over ECC
Stinging a bit from the end of the program's 41-match, South Coast Conference winning streak, the Pasadena City College women's badminton team put away their disappointment in knocking of host El Camino College, 19-2, Wednesday.
The Lancers (7-3 overall, 7-1 and in first place of the SCC) received two singles victories each from No. 1 player Angie Ortiz and No. 6 Serena Yan. The Lancers' No. 2 Shag Avedisian split her matches as did No. 5 Sophia Njomin while No. 3 Alyssa Boyt and No. 4 Alejandra Palacios each won their only match and received forfeits with El Camino a player down on the ladder.
In doubles, The PCC No. 1 team of Ortiz-Boyt, both sophomores, swept their two matches. The No. 2 unit of Palacios-Avedisian also won their two matches.
Ortiz, the defending CCCAA state singles champion, was pushed by El Camino's No. 1 Corinne Belandres, but outlasted her in three sets, 21-18, 16-21, 21-19. Njomin needed the three-set route to win v. the Warriors' No. 5 Bryar Cochran, 20-22, 21-19, 21-19.
The Lancers can clinch their fifth consecutive SCC crown on Friday, April 19 when they visit East Los Angeles College in a 2 p.m. match. ELAC can clinch a tie for the title with PCC if it wins. The Huskies downed the Lancers, 13-8, on April 10 at PCC.

Edmonton, AB (SportsNetwork.com) - Taylor Hall notched the game-winner as the
Edmonton Oilers scored three unanswered goals to top the New York Islanders in
overtime, 3-2, at Rexall Place.
Sam Gagner took the puck off Islanders defenseman Brian Strait in transition
through the neutral zone and deked past a sliding defender to fire a shot that
deflected off Hall's stick and past Evgeni Nabokov into the net.
Philip Larsen and Ryan Smyth both lit the lamp in the third period and Ben
Scrivens turned aside 32 shots in Edmonton's second straight win.
"I'd rather we didn't wait until the last four minutes of the second period to
get going," Oilers head coach Dallas Eakins said. "We have been preaching the
way to play and it wasn't until near the end of the second that we understood
what we needed to do and we carried it on to the third."
Smyth moved past Wayne Gretzky to tie Glenn Anderson for first place on the
Oilers all-time power-play goal list with 126 tallies.
Frans Nielsen and Anders Lee scored for the Islanders, who have lost three of
their last four. Nabokov surrendered three goals on 29 shots.
"At some point, they're going to have to realize those little things, the
moment you stop moving your feet or get out of position it's going to cost
you," Islanders head coach Jack Capuano said.
The Islanders got on the board halfway through the first frame. Nielsen went
in on a 2-on-1 with Cal Clutterbuck and fired a shot past Scrivens while
shorthanded to give the Islanders a 1-0 lead.
Lee added to the lead after he tipped in Strait's shot from the point with
1:39 left in the first.
After a scoreless second, Edmonton cut the lead in half on the power play at
8:28 of the third. Justin Schultz kept the puck in the zone and Jordan Eberle
sent the puck across the ice to Smyth, who wristed the puck home for his ninth
of the season.
Larsen knotted the game when he tracked down a loose puck off the left boards
and moved in on net to sneak a wrister through a maze of players and past
Edmonton defenseman Jeff Petry left the game with back spasms in the first ...
The Oilers have now won four straight at Rexall Place against the Islanders
... The last time the Islanders won in Edmonton was Mar. 13, 2003 ... David
Perron played in his 400th career NHL game.

Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - How bad a team do you have to be to not be
invited to a bowl game?
The answer, obviously, is pretty bad.
You can tell the teams that aren't going "bowling" by seeing which coaches are
getting fired today. More will likely get canned after their teams lose their
bowl games, but the coaches packing up now truly had bad seasons.
Coaching in college football is a brutal profession. It, sadly, has become a
lot like the NFL where it's win right now or you're gone.
In the old days, say five or 10 years ago, a new coach came to his new school
and was at least given the chance to recruit his "own" guys. That meant he had
a full recruiting cycle, four or five years, to turn over the roster from his
predecessor and try and make a winner of his program.
Today, if you stink for two years running, they can't kick you out the door
fast enough. This new "system" is good for real estate agents, but not so good
for coaches.
That's why you'll never hear me complain about a coach leaving a school he
claimed to love for bigger bucks somewhere else.
Yes, that's not fair to the kids he brought to campus, and to the parents of
those kids who were told he would look over them for a couple of years, but
shelf life of a coach is so short that getting it when you can is something
most of us would do, too, if given the opportunity.
It also stinks for the alumni of the school where the good coach left - the
latest example being the Wisconsin faithful who were stunned when Bret Bielema
left for Arkansas - but nobody said life was fair.
(Bielema, in fairness, didn't scoot to Arkansas for the money. He did so
because he couldn't pay his Badger assistants enough money to keep them
around. Hmm, so, it was about the money. Always is, can't forget that).
And that brings us back to the college bowl season, which, sadly, begins
Saturday and will determine if more coaches lose their jobs.
Raise your hand if you know that Nevada and Arizona kick off the bowls with
New Mexico Bowl? Raise your other hand if you know that Toledo and Utah State
follow the New Mexico Bowl with the playing of the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl
later Saturday afternoon.
Now, kick yourself in the butt for knowing that.
I was handed a college bowl poll at the office the other day (strictly for
amusement only) and the weight of it nearly broke my hand. Four pages with 35
games (35!) listed.
My gosh, that's 70 teams who can officially say they're going "bowling." Big-
time college football only has 120 or so teams. Now, my math is not great, but
when well more than half of the teams get the prestige of a bowl game
something ain't right. Prestige isn't the right word, but you get the idea.
And let's not forget that Penn State and Ohio State, both of whom had wondrous
seasons considering their circumstances, aren't even allowed to go to a bowl.
That aside, how can it be, when there are 35 games to be played over three or
so weeks, that more of them aren't played Jan. 1?
There are six games on New Year's Day, but are you going to be stacking TVs on
top of each other to catch the Heart of Dallas Bowl and the Gator Bowl? I
think so. (And for those of you wondering how you stack TVs on top of each
other when your fancy TV is three inches thick, you're way too young to
The whole darn bowl season should end on Jan. 1 with 10 games, 10 good games.
But that ship, and that argument, died a long time ago.
Instead, just enjoy the Belk Bowl and the Pinstripe Bowl. Good luck keeping
them straight.

area newspapers for over 25 years.

Spam filtering in Zimbra 8 seems to be almost useless. For every message it tags as spam I'm seeing a good 50 easy to identify spam messages get through. My spam kill level is set at 100 (I want the messages to go to my spam folders) but tagging I've bumped all the way down to 5 from 20 and which has made no difference. Spam training doesn't seem to be doing anything. I have users getting hundreds of spam emails each day.
Very obviously something is seriously wrong. Zimbra doesn't seem to include the spam score in the headers unless the message was tagged as spam. I'm not entirely sure how to troubleshoot, the wiki and other documentation all seems to be conflicting or ancient and out of date.
Also, I've enabled some of the blacklists which is dropping a ton of mail. Mail that gets through still is an issue though. I also want to use postgrey but am not able to get that to work (again.. out of date documentation). I have it installed and listening on port 10023. I ran zmprov mcf +zimbraMtaRestriction "check_policy_service inet:127.0.0.1:10023" and restarted postgress. I doesn't look like it's doing anything though. tcpdump on lo doesn't show anything traffic hitting it. What am I missing there?

Pronina Still Unbeaten After Day One at Gopher Invite
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.- Iowa State junior Ksenia Pronina went 2-0 to highlight the Cyclones' first day at the Gopher Invite.
After taking the top flight title at last weekend's Drake Invitational, Pronina continued her undefeated singles record Friday night in Minneapolis. In the first round, Pronina took down Wisconsin's Diana Tokar, 6-1, 6-4 before defeating Minnesota's Natallia Pintusava, 6-2, 6-0. Friday's wins improve the Iowa State standout's singles record to an impressive 5-0. Pronina is set to take on Eastern Michigan's Diana Davitaia in the semifinals of her flight on Saturday at noon.
The tournament kicked off Friday morning with Iowa State getting a chance at some much-desired doubles wins. The Cyclones went 2-2 in doubles with Pronina and sophomore Ana Gasparovic defeating Melanie Yates and Katie Edwards of Gonzaga, 8-5. Senior Emma Waites paired up with junior Caroline Andersen to take down South Dakota's duo of Marina Arriola and Ana Jelena Vujosevic, 8-3.
This weekend's tournament was the first chance for Iowa State's freshmen players to get a taste of collegiate tennis action.

DDP in hospital
Some very troublesome news about Diamond Dallas Page has emerged. He is currently in the hospital, and it looks really bad. The former WCW World Heavyweight Champion was not able to breathe because his vocal cords had somehow become connected. DDP revealed that there was absolutely no space in between them. Doctors currently have him in the intensive care unit, and surgery sounds like it will be necessary to repair the damage.
