The technology is based on the high-efficiency video coding codec. Although Broadcom made the first commercial HEVC chip, MIT scientists created their own HEVC chip for research purposes. The MIT researchers say their chip has greater performance efficiency and they added correction capabilities in hardware and video-data storage in memory. The scientists say their chip could help them determine how different video data interacts with the hardware. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing constructed and Texas Instruments funded the device.

Chris Carlson embarks on his sixth season as the head coach at UC San Diego in 2012-13. The 11th coach in program history, he enters the year with an overall record of 64-74 (.464) in five seasons at the helm.
Carlson made an immediate impact upon arriving at UCSD for the 2007-08 season, leading the Tritons to an overall record of 18-12, the program's best mark since the 1998-99 campaign. After finishing sixth in the ultra-competitive California Collegiate Athletic Association standings at 11-9, Carlson's Tritons caught fire in March, defeating Cal State San Bernardino, San Francisco State and Cal Poly Pomona on the way to UCSD's first CCAA Tournament title. UCSD earned a No. 8 seed in its first NCAA Tournament appearance at the Division II level, falling to the University of Alaska-Anchorage 80-60 in the opening round of the West Regional.
The Tritons were one of the top teams in the CCAA again in 2008-09, recording an overall record of 17-11 and a 13-7 mark in league play. After earning a No. 4 seed in the CCAA Tournament, UCSD defeated No. 5 Humboldt State 79-67 in the first round before falling 76-72 to host Cal State San Bernardino in the semifinals.
UCSD finished with an overall record of 8-17 in 2009-10, missing the postseason for the first time since 2007. The Tritons went 4-2 during a six-game stretch in February to stay in contention for a conference tournament berth, but a pair of losses to Sonoma State and Humboldt State the final week of the regular season dashed the Tritons' postseason hopes.
Under Carlson's guidance, senior guard Jordan Lawley became the first Triton to win the CCAA scoring title since UCSD joined the conference in 2000-01 during the 2009-10 campaign. Lawley was named to the All-CCAA First Team and went on to earn All-West Region accolades after averaging career-highs of 20.2 points, 5.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists in his final season as a Triton.
The Tritons opened the 2011-12 season with a solid 102-74 blowout of Chestnut Hill College at the Disney West Coast Tipoff Classic in Anaheim. They went on to finish the tourney with a 2-1 record. UCSD twice posted back-to-back CCAA victories, the first time against Cal State Monterey Bay and Sonoma State and again vs. Cal State L.A. and Cal State Dominguez Hills.
Senior center Christian Hatch was named Second Team All-CCAA after finishing second among all league players in rebounding (7.3/game), including a conference-best 2.9 offensive boards per game. Junior guard Tyler McGrath led the CCAA in free throw percentage (.833) while senior forward Mike Meza was tops in 3-point field goal percentage (.506). Sophomore guard James McCann averaged 3.9 assists per game, third-best in the conference, and junior forward Justin Brue was fourth in blocked shots (1.2/game).
Carlson joined the Triton family after spending four seasons as the Director of Basketball Operations at UCLA under head coach Ben Howland. As the DOB, he was responsible for the day-to-day operations of the program and served as a liaison to the athletic administration and other school officials. Carlson also assisted in scheduling and recruiting and helped guide the Bruin program to back-to-back NCAA Final Four appearances in 2005-06 and 2006-07.
Before assuming his duties at UCLA, Carlson served in the same capacity for two years at the University of Pittsburgh, joining the Panther staff in the summer of 2001. Prior to that, he was a member of Howland's staff at Northern Arizona in 1998-99, where he coached a Lumberjack squad that led the country in both field goal percentage and three-point percentage for the first time in NCAA history. He remained on at NAU for two years after Howland's departure (1999-2001), where he worked with NAU's post players and oversaw recruiting and scheduling.
Prior to his stint at Northern Arizona, Carlson served as an assistant coach at his alma mater, UC Santa Barbara, from 1994-98, where he oversaw development of the team's perimeter players. He also served as an assistant coach at nearby Dos Pueblos High School in Goleta from 1991-93.
Carlson worked as a game management assistant at the National Association of Basketball Coaches All-Star game for 12 straight years from 1993-2004 and has worked four NCAA Tournament West Regionals. In addition, he was an intern in the Los Angeles/St. Louis Rams media relations department, a sports information assistant at UCSB in 1993-94 and a member of the 1994 FIFA World Cup media relations staff.
A San Diego native, Carlson is a 1993 graduate from UC Santa Barbara, where he received his Bachelor's Degree in history. Prior to his days as a Gaucho, Carlson attended Helix High School in La Mesa, where he earned all-league honors in basketball.
He and his wife Karen have two sons, Nicklas and Charlie.

With various acts of snowy derring-do from the Sochi Olympics lighting up TV screens at the moment, chances are your thoughts are turning to the slopes and winter sports. We caught up with Norwegian professional ski-wearer Stian Hagen to find out the best way to stay toasty on the frigid slopes – and afterwards when you're sipping schapps and scoffing fondu.
Base layer
Closest to your skin, this disperses sweat when you're active and dries quickly when you rest. It also traps air to retain body heat. Use a Merino wool base layer under a mid layer on cold days or as your main insulator when the sun's out.
On the slopes: Sub Zero Factor 1 Plus (£15)
This UK-made base layer is crafted from a stretch fabric with hydrophilic coating that helps wick away beads of sweat. The body section doesn't have any seams either, and combined with the long cut that ensures you'll have a chafe-free day.
Off piste: Norrona Narvik Tech+ Sweater (£60)
Bad weather forecast? This medium-weight, breathable base layer will keep you toasty, while doubling as a mid-layer on warmer days. The fabric has great elasticity to make sure it stays snug and has been treated to reduce end-of-day odours.
Here be warmth. Mid-layer fleeces often use synthetic insulation such as Coreloft, which is fine most of the time. For colder weather, though, look for ones containing down, which is a better insulator, but doesn't like getting wet.
On the slopes: Bergans Osen (£205)
Made from a unique mix of high loft down and windproof organic wool, the Osen can be used as a mid-layer in wet or cold conditions and as an outer in cool, dry conditions. Which could save you enough packing space to take your Cheetarah onesie for pre-dinner wear.
Off piste: Icebreaker Crosscut Zip (£85)
The Crosscut is made from top-quality Kiwi Merino wool. It has an ergonomic cut for a long days in the hills, but also looks great for aprés. Well made, too: it'll serve many a snowy season without splitting a seam.
Your extremities tend to get cold the fastest, so a high quality pair of gloves is recommended if you want to avoid a Ranulph Fiennes-esque nightmare scenario of sawing your own frostbitten fingertips off.
On the slopes: Norrona Lofoten Gore-tex Short (£100)
These have a Gore-Tex X-Trafit liner to keep your hands dry, and Primaloft insulation for extra warmth. The ever-useful hand leash prevents you dropping them when you're texting on the chair lift.
Off piste: Terra-Nova Extremities Glacier GTX (£100)
More suited to spring skiing, the minimalist Glacier's outer and lining are bonded together to make sure you've got maximum ski pole feel when nailing fresh snow. Leather palms keep them flexible.

Please forgive me if this has been answered somewhere before, but...How long is it acceptable to leave the leaves in your brewing vessel between infusions? I recall reading somewhere that it is "not recommended" to allow the leaves to sit for extended periods of time, but that was referring to oolong teas in a gaiwan, I believe.
So, is it ALSO dependant on vessel type and/or tea type? Any help would be greatly appreciated.


text: Last night I attended an engaging lecture at Calvin College by Dr. William Abraham of the Southern Methodist University Perkins School of Theology. Abraham, whose religious background is Irish Methodist and who is now a minister in the United Methodist Church and the Albert Cook Outler Professor of Wesley Studies at Perkins, gave a presentation titled, "The Treasures and Trials of Eastern Orthodoxy." As someone who was once an outsider to the Orthodox Church and is now an insider (as much as a former outsider can be, I suppose), I can say that Dr. Abraham's lecture highlighted many things that I see in the Orthodox Church myself as well as bringing others into focus, in particular five treasures the Orthodox bring and four trials that they face in our current, global context.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (593 votes).
In short: Muddy fun!In full: Wettest, muddiest and coldest Slog I've done but had a brilliant time, as always. Thanks to the spectators for standing around in the cold and wet for hours, and especially to all the marshalls who were unfailingly cheerful, encouraging and fun! Got a kiss just past the kissing gate from one and gave another a very muddy hug - good sports, all of you. A very special race, superbly organised and guaranteed to make you grin! Well done to everyone for organising, spectating and taking part on what was a foul day. Roll on next year!!Date of review: November 10, 2008
In short: Mother said to avoid mud & puddles!In full: After 50 years (actually my 50th birthday on Slog day), I still managed to ignore my mother's advice, to avoid mud & puddles. My 2nd time for the Slog and this year was extra special. Apart from celebrating my half-century on the day of the Slog itself, the weather conditions before and during meant a gruelling mixture of mud & lakes! Well done to organisers and marshalls and the cheery crowds who braved the conditions - especially the ones that sang 'Happy Birthday'. Loved every minute of it. Definitely a race to make you walk tall or maybe that was my mud platforms after navigating those ploughed fields!Date of review: November 10, 2008
In short: Best off road race ever......despite to cold!!!In full: Oh what fun 2nd year I have done it! Will be back next year too!! Had a blast last year but this year even better! I am still amazed as to where you find the mud after!! Well done to all the marshalls and the fantastic organisation again by all involved!! Missed the hot tubs though this year as I couldn't stop shaking for what seemed like hours after!! Well done I was well and truly SLOGGED!!!!!Date of review: November 10, 2008
In short: mud mud and more mud....excellent fun!!Date of review: November 10, 2008
In short: OMG - my lips actually turned blue!!!In full: First time although my runner friends have done it many times. Runny mud waist high several times, can't wait to see the pics. Sharp posts in the last "river" which did do some damage to my shins :-(Moving start with the last post played, excellent marshalling - I can't decide if they were colder than me or not?? A little too long hanging around at the stiles when we were so wet & cold and the cold showers at the end contributed to my "blue lips" - I've never been so cold!!But, I will see you there again next year. Run it with a friend, what a laugh!!!Date of review: November 10, 2008
In short: A must race every yearIn full: Third time for me see you all again in 2009Date of review: November 10, 2008
In short: I now have webbed feet!In full: Yet again, Gordon Robbins comes up trumps with his team from Bitton Road Runners. Great organisation (barring the queue for the stile near 'Slurry Farm') The plunge pool made an exhilarating and hilarious change to the hill and The Lake, as did the the waist-deep water on the Common. Cold, wet, covered in mud. Loved it! Will be back again next year.Date of review: November 10, 2008
In short: Still got mud behind the earsIn full: 3rd time & a lot, lot wetter. Shame about the course change & missing the lake/bog but great to see that a very good alternative (A couple of miles of ploughed fields) Extended river excursion at the end was a bonus. Shame on you those who took the easy river bank optionDate of review: November 10, 2008
In short: I have never been so cold, wet and muddy after any race, roll on next year!!!eIn full: This was my first Slog and it had been built up as this fantastic race and I was not disappointed. The organisation was fantastic, marshals were friendly and encouraging and even though the weather was awful, plenty of support especially at the lake. This is by far the most enjoyable race I have ever entered and would certainly recommend it to anyone.Date of review: November 10, 2008
In short: Conditions were supposedly worse than last year, but I thought it was just as it should be nice and wet and muddy.Date of review: November 10, 2008

Pretty tragic story. I know it is easy to pile on athletes with all the financial opportunities and advantages they have, but once again this just goes to show how much like the rest of they are in regards to having personal issues to deal with everyday.
Even though he ultimately decided to end his own life (which can be viewed as a disrespectful and selfish act) the guy was a good ball player and hopefully will be remembered as such.

In short: Great marshalls, friendly organisers In full: Please can people be banned from wearing headphones at these events. Headphone wearers are so blissfully unaware of those around them and are ruder versions of their non-headphone wearing selves. We expect a bit of jostling with the number of people and narrow paths but headphone wearers are worse than most and the least apologetic.Date of review: October 5, 2009
In short: Great, friendly Race Series, RecommendedDate of review: October 5, 2009
In short: Friendly, well-organised race with PB potential.In full: Race pack arrived in time despite Royal Mail issues; quick email response from race organiser allayed fears & proposed sensible solution to lack of pack.Small, friendly race with great PB potential, although the gentle inclines are the ones that get you.Start delayed slightly, but all were in good spirits & the race completed without a hitch, including use of new 'chip' technology.Number of runners kept sensible(350) which prevented issues during narrower elements of the route.Good support from marshalls.Hub staff were unwilling to let runners make use of lockers; & although bag storage was offered, perhaps a tag system could be operated to provide additional reassurance.Can't do the full series but tempted to do those that i can attend.Date of review: October 5, 2009
In short: A great race. Well orgainsed, fab location and a really friendly atmosphere!Date of review: October 5, 2009
In short: Loved ItIn full: A big thank you to Mornington Chasers..very well organised and great fun. I highly recommend you do at least one of the series.Date of review: October 4, 2009

In short: Always well organised and good fun. Chip timing made it more relaxed at the start.Date of review: October 4, 2009
In short: Fast, well organised, popular raceIn full: Only one downside - the lockers in the Hub are not available to series runners but there is an area for putting possessions.Well organised and the fact the Royal Mail strikes have impacted race pack delivery was handled very well with minimal delays.

State working hard in cancer fight
By LIZ SKOCZYLAS
OBSERVER Mayville Bureau
The state's five-year plan for fighting cancer may be in full effect, but the plan can only go so far if residents do not make healthy choices and receive regular checkups.
The New York State Cancer Consortium and the state Department of Health recently released the 2012-2017 Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan. The plan details the scope of the cancer burden in New York and offers suggested strategies to reduce cancer rates and improve the quality of life of individuals and families affected by a cancer diagnosis.
This is the second version of the comprehensive plan since 2003. The first version of the New York State Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan, which covered from 2003 to 2010, provided a strategic plan for cancer control across the state.
"It looks like they're focusing on prevention strategies, such as smoking cessation, decreasing obesity, increasing physical activity, and fruit and vegetable consumption," said Angela Swartzman, deputy public health director for the county. "It looks like they're really promoting the HPV vaccine human papillomavirus causes most cervical cancers and early detection for the cancers that we do have effective screenings for."
The six priority areas in the plan include health promotion and cancer prevention, early detection, treatment, survivorship, palliative care and the health care workforce. The plan also includes background information, measurable objectives and strategies to reduce the burden of cancer in New York state.
According to a release from the state Health Department, approximately 109,000 cases of cancer are diagnosed among residents of New York state every year. More than 35,000 residents die every year, which is more than 95 people per day. And, the effects of cancer don't end with treatment there are nearly 1 million cancer survivors in the state who may face challenges, including those related to their physical and emotional health.
In Chautauqua County, the four hospitals WCA Hospital in Jamestown, Brooks Memorial Hospital in Dunkirk, Westfield Memorial Hospital in Westfield and Lake Shore Health Care Center in Irving service many of the health needs of residents. When it comes to cancer care, Swartzman said the area is very fortunate.
"We actually are fortunate we have the WCA Cancer Treatment Center that is affiliated with Roswell Park Cancer Institute. That's huge," she said. "Roswell is a clinical trial site, and we're very fortunate to have that affiliation. Brooks Memorial Hospital also has an oncology center."
Additionally, Swarzman said the area has Cancer Care of Western New York through Western New York Urology, which does prostate cancer treatment on-site.
The Chautauqua County Health Department also has a grant-funded program, which is part of the national early detection program for breast, cervical and colorectal cancers.
"For people who don't have health insurance, the screenings for breast, cervical and colorectal cancer, as well as diagnostics and treatment associated with those cancers, we partner with the majority of the physicians in the county to provide that care to residents," Swartzman said. "We are so fortunate that we have that program as well as the two oncology centers right within the county, and then to be so close to a world-renowned cancer center such as Roswell. We are very fortunate in that respect."
The Comprehensive Cancer Control Plan recommends endorsing policies and initiatives that support health-promoting behaviors, developing systems to address disparities related to cancer screening and encouraging oncology and inpatient programs to incorporate components of palliative care. To keep the potential for a cancer diagnosis low, Swartzman recommends consuming five or more fruits or vegetables a day, aside from increasing physical activity. Additionally, she recommends not smoking and receiving screenings at appropriate age intervals.
"There is a lot of misinformation out there," Swartzman warned. "You need to be careful to be obtaining information about changes and what's good for you or not good for you from a credible source. If you are finding information on the internet, you want to go to your National Cancer Institute or your state health, local health department website."
In Chautauqua County, Swartzman said there is no form of cancer that is prevalent over another. However, the county has its own set of problems when it comes to identifying cancer.
"What we do have in this area, though, is some later detection of cancers that could have been caught at an earlier stage, which means that individuals are not receiving those preventative screenings," she said. "So, we need to get the word out and be sure that people are having those conversations with their doctors and having their mamograms as recommended and having their colonoscopies as recommended."

ENMU soccer squads fall
October 18, 2008
CNJ staff photo: Liliana Castillo ENMU's Kim Anaya battles for possession of the ball with Meagan Lasley (14) of Texas A&M-Commerce during Friday's Lone Star Conference women's soccer match at the ENMU pitch.
The Eastern New Mexico University women's soccer team worked hard to gain the lead, then Texas A&M-Commerce's Meagan Lasley took it away in a matter of moments.
The 5-foot-5 junior forward scored three times in a span of less than eight minutes to give the Lions a 3-1 Lone Star Conference win over the Zias at the ENMU soccer pitch.
Lasley scored after beating the ENMU defense, dribbling into the box and firing a shot from about 17 yards out with just under 30 minutes left. She then headed a ball in off a corner kick by junior Sarah Reed, and got the clincher for the Lions (9-2-1, 3-1 LSC) by spinning away from two ENMU defenders to beat goalkeeper Sierra Cardenas with about 22 1/2 minutes to go.
"We couldn't deal with one player," Zias coach Ray Nause said, referring to Lasley. "She's a good player, and we did not defend her well in the second half.
"Other than that, I thought we played pretty well, we competed pretty well."
ENMU junior forward Samantha Lawrence found the net from close range just over 6 1/2 minutes into the second half, her 14th goal of the season, to put the Zias (8-7, 2-4) in front.
Lasley's hat trick pulled her into a tie for second with Lawrence among LSC goal-scorers.
The Zias played solid defense in the first half, holding the Lions to one shot on goal. They finally broke through when Lawrence took a crossing pass from freshman midfielder Kimberly Luna and found herself almost point-blank against Lions keeper Taylor Jordan.
"That's the third straight game we've gone down 1-0," Lions coach Neil Piper said. "It's dangerous to do that, but Meagan Lasley stepped it up another gear when we got behind."
ENMU men lose — At San Antonio, Esteban Bayona's goal put Incarnate Word in front for good and the Cardinals went on to beat Eastern New Mexico University 3-1 in men's soccer Friday night.
The Cardinals (7-5), ranked third in the South Central Region and a former member of the Southwest Soccer Conference with ENMU (4-5-2), wasted little time snapping a 1-1 tie after Greyhounds junior midfielder Artur Oliveira scored his first goal of the season at the 21-minute mark.

Cannon Beach Oregon - Friday Morning
Click photos for enlargments. To get back, click WebLog in left frame on Cannon-Beach Net
Cannon Beach Oregon .. 7am 31Aug2012. Temp - 50. Sunrise 635a. Sunset 754p. Blue Moon over Cannon Beach. Today is the second full moon of the month - known as a blue moon. It looks the same as other full moons and isn't any bluer or whiter for that matter. It dropped behind clouds on the horizon just after I got these shots. Low tide was at 7 affording some very nice wet sand reflections. This is the finale weekend for summer vacations. Temperature is predicted in the high 60's - right where we want it. I am preparing for a month long photo excursion through the Canadian Rockies and on to Ohio for a college reunion. For today's surf shot go to the SurfCam page. There, you will also find today's photo and surf report from Mark Mekenes of Cannon Beach Surf. .. George

The Indianapolis 500 race is almost 100 years old. For the longest time, the beginning of the race was announced with "Gentlemen, start your engines." The drivers would do so and begin to drive the first lap at about 50 miles per hour behind the lead car. The lead car would leave the race track and all the cars went from 50 to 200 miles per hour. The race was on.
In 2012, the flooring race for growth and profits was on. The first part of the year was the fixed growth behind the lead car. Towards the end, manufacturers, distributors and retailers accelerated the pace. The 5.3 percent increase at retail was helped by strong unit increases in vinyl and hardwood. Gross margins were beginning to go up after a six year slide.
Both manufacturers and distributors introduced more products than in recent memory. Some were new, most were positioned at the mid-high price point area. These were price points that had been abandoned when times got so tough. Retailers accepted the new product price points for all product categories. Simply put, the industry is ready for faster and continued growth beyond 2012.
For the here and now, the numbers are quite promising. We know that many would-be flooring consumers deferred their flooring purchase until times got better. For them, 2012 was the year that things got better and they started to buy flooring. Pent up demand is probably worth billions of dollars in flooring sales — 2012 was the first of many years where folks were buying flooring they intended to buy from 2007-2011. The biggest and best news for our industry is what appears to be the real turnaround in housing. New home construction and existing home sales are up.
Census reports the increase for new home sales to be 19.9 percent over 2011. That's 60,000 additional homes built and sold in 2012 over 2011. That's an increase of 144 million square feet of flooring for new homes. (All indications are that 2013 will have the same increase in number of units sold — another 60,000 new homes sold in 2013 over 2012.)
Existing home sales (MLS sales) were up 9.3 percent, 2012 over 2011. That's 400,000 additional homes sold in 2012. The total number of existing homes sold in 2012 was 4.7 million homes. These home sales are very important to flooring sales in older homes. There are two reasons for residential replacement flooring sales — sales of homes and households ready to change their flooring.
Added to the increase in sales, we saw an increase in home values in more than 200 markets. Those areas hit worst by the downturn (Florida, Nevada, Arizona and California) saw the greatest gains

Topic: Hey, this is nice....
Ok, I still have a lot to learn, but after procrastinating for a year, I finally took the plunge and decided I was going to learn rails (RailsDay inspired me). I started following a few tutorials yesterday (I actually have Agile Web Development, it's just at the office downtown... going to bring it home tomorrow) and ended up confusing myself. Today I tossed all that aside, took what little bit I had picked up from it and sat down the the Rails API docs to get me through the trouble spots as I ran across them. I had a fully functional (albeit a bit simple) app of my own design up and running in just over 3hrs (that includes time spent customizing the layout a fair bit). That's not bad at all considering how little I knew when I started.
I have plans to further expand the project and make it into something useful to people other than myself, as a way of learning RoR, but I am very pleased with what I accomplished tonight and how it all came together. The more I do, the more I'm starting to enjoy the simple, yet powerful language and man, is rails powerful.
To anyone else who, like myself, had struggled with Rails in the past and had somewhat given up on it (I believe there are a couple people who've mentioned having the same problems I did initially), spending some serious time exploring object-oriented programming principles really seems to be what made the difference for me in tersm of things actually making sense this time around.
Wow, no doubt I have a long journey ahead of me still, but I'm enjoyinig the ride.

Topic: map.resource, :has_one, route generation error
I'm having a similar problem to this one: http://railsforum.com/viewtopic.php?id=28724
I have a user model (has_one :evenplaner) and a evenplaner model (belongs_to :user)
map.resources :user, :has_one => :evenplaner
first, rake routes gives me:
new_user_evenplaner GET /users/:user_id/evenplaner/new(.:format) {:action=>"new", :controller=>"evenplaners"}
edit_user_evenplaner GET /users/:user_id/evenplaner/edit(.:format) {:action=>"edit", :controller=>"evenplaners"}
user_evenplaner GET /users/:user_id/evenplaner(.:format) {:action=>"show", :controller=>"evenplaners"}
AS you can see, at the end of each route I get the .:format part, but I'm missing the :id part
Second, when I use form_for([@user, @evenplaner]) I get a no method error user_evenplaners_path (I get an S thats not supposed to go there)
I followed the post cited above solution for the form, and it worked, but the other restful routes aren't working since they're missing the :id part.
Any advice? Thanks.

Designers Bernie de Le Cuona and Brian J. McCarthy get the lowdown on these multipurpose pieces that have an impact far greater than their size
What's Hot: November 2013
Designers Bernie de Le Cuona and Brian J. McCarthy get the lowdown on these multipurpose pieces that have an impact far greater than their sizeMore
It would be a mistake to think of the ottoman as nothing more than a lowly footstool. Produced in a wide array of shapes, sizes, and materials, it's the ultimate go-anywhere, do-anything piece. An ottoman can serve as a side table, a cushy cocktail table, or a playful extra seating element for parties.
"It's the most usable, versatile piece of furniture," says textile designer Bernie de Le Cuona, adding that the ottoman, which gets its name from a deeply cushioned low seat found in Turkey, can work in any room of the house. "You could have one bedside, to place a lamp and a cup of coffee on," she says. "I even have ottomans in my bathroom."
Designer Brian J. McCarthy sometimes uses ottomans as improvised pedestals. "I make these little tablescapes on them, and it creates another layer in a room," he says. Larger ottomans, he adds, support multifaceted relaxation—yes, you can put your feet up, but "you can also place a tray on it and serve drinks."
With her U.K.-based company, the South African–born designer creates fine linen fabrics, many with opulent paisley patterns, as well as luxe velvets and cashmeres. delecuona.co.uk

"This piece is very California—it's airy, fresh, and fun," says Bernie de Le Cuona. "You could use it in a guest room, at the end of the bed, or in a small living room, in front of the sofa." Brian J. McCarthy admires the turned wood legs and the flame-ikat–pattern upholstery. "It's handsome and youthful," he says. "It has a great height, and it's very comfortable." 45• w. x 19• h. x 17• d.; $299; westelm.com

Samsung Electronics, the world's largest maker of various dynamic random access memory, said on Thursday that it had started mass production of GDDR5 memory chips using 50 nm process technology. The new fabrication process allows the devices to reach unprecedented clock-speeds and trim power consumption.
"Our early 2009 introduction of GDDR5 chips will help us to meet the growing demand for higher performance graphics memory in PCs, graphic cards and game consoles. Because GDDR5 is the fastest and highest performing memory in the world, we're able to improve the gaming experience with it across all platforms," said Mueez Deen, director of mobile and graphics memory, Samsung Semiconductor.
The new GDDR5 memory chips are not only capable of working at up to 7GHz clock-speeds, but also use 1.35V voltage, a reduction from 1.425V – 1.575V voltage of currently available GDDR5 memory chips from Samsung. Moreover, the new GDDR5 devices are cheaper to produce: by adopting 50nm class technology, Samsung expects production efficiency to rise 100% over 60nm class technology.
7GHz GDDR5 chips could provide 224GB/s or 448GB/s peak bandwidth when connected to a processor using 256-bit or 512-bit memory bus, respectively. It is unclear which of the forthcoming graphics cards will utilize 7GHz GDDR5 chips, but since both ATI, graphics products group of Advanced Micro Devices, and Nvidia Corp. are projected to release their new high-end graphics solutions later this year, it is definite that high-speed memory will be in demand.
Samsung's new GDDR5 chips are now available in 32Mb x32 configuration (128MB) and are also configurable as a 64Mb x16 device.
Samsung expects GDDR5 to account for over 20% of the total graphic memory market in 2009. The company also said it plans to expand the 50-nm process technology throughout its graphics memory line-up this year.

Earlier this week, news broke of a pilot who had fallen out of his airplane last Friday in Tennessee while on a training flight. Unfortunately, the pilot was a few thousand feet in the air at the time, and the fall resulted in his death.
The facts go like this. The pilot was being checked out in his Zenith Zodiac 601, when the instructor on board said the student had trouble controlling the airplane, the canopy opened, and out he went. They found his body the next day. Critically, it appears he wasn't wearing his seatbelt.
The idea of falling from such a great height is downright scary. There's a reason our stomachs sink when we peer over a tall bridge or stand on the edge of a big drop. Falling happens in nightmares, and it's not something that we signed up for when we began learning to fly.
I remember vividly the uneasiness I felt when I was learning to fly in a Cessna 152, my thigh pressed against the door. I was sure that if the door opened, there would be nothing holding me back from certain death other than a thin strip of nylon. Over time that feeling has faded—thankfully. I've since flown open-cockpit biplanes, Trikes, and even an AirCam, all without feeling like I was about to make international headlines.
Actually, the fact this particular story made international headlines is significant. It speaks to the rarity of it. That's not to say it never happens. On a surprisingly regular basis, someone will willfully throw themselves out of an airplane to commit suicide. And no, I'm not talking about skydiving. But the accident variety, which this seems to have been, is so rare it could be probably be considered an anomaly. It happens, at most, once every few years.
The lesson to take away from this tragic accident is that seatbelts should be worn at all times. I've never flown with someone who didn't wear a seatbelt, nor have I had to remind a student to do so, as this instructor should have done. Knowing that a seatbelt would have likely produced a different outcome in this flight–and the fact that this is rare to begin with–should help quiet any nightmares of the same randomly happening to you.—Ian J. Twombly

Lynyrd Skynyrd's Gary Rossington: the top 11 blues artists of all time
"Being brought up in the South, I was exposed to the blues pretty early on," says Lynyrd Skynyrd guitarist and co-founder Gary Rossington. "That's where the blues came from, so it was all around me. And I loved it all."
BB King and Ray Charles were the first blues artists that Rossington remembers hearing. "They made a strong impression," he says. "Anytime you hear something that unique, it does something to you." A few years later, Rossington discovered British blues via John Mayall & The Bluesbreakers. "That was an exciting time," he says. "Checking out what the British guys were doing to the blues, how they were kind of making it a new thing, that definitely gave us a lot to work with. From the originators to the folks in England picking it up, it all found its way into my playing and the music of Lynyrd Skynyrd."
On the following pages, Gary Rossington runs down (alphabetically) the 11 blues artists whom he considers to be the greatest of all time.
Duane Allman
"He's the one that inspired us, Lynyrd Skynyrd and myself. He was the guy down South that we used to really watch.
"The Allman Brothers had their band before us. They were about five or six years older, so they were already doing what we were fixin' to do. Duane... what a blues player. I think he's the best on the slide that ever was. You've got him and Ry Cooder, but Duane's probably the best. He's got his own touch and his own technique.
"Listen to Layla. You can hear what he's playing there. Man, he was so great. Tom Dowd, the producer, told us all the stories of them staying up late, drinking and having a party. That sounded like some fun times."
Paul Butterfield
"He was such a great harmonica player, so you have to give it up to him. But he had Mike Bloomfield playing with him, and man, when you're first learning to play, he's a real role model to copy from or get inspired by.
"Al Kooper was with Paul Butterfield, too, and he went on to work with us. Lots of talented guys came from him. The Paul Butterfield Band with Mike Bloomfield – talk about great records. Anybody who wants to study the blues and hear some good playing should check those out."
Ray Charles
"Such an important man. You go back to his music in the '60s, and maybe in the '50s, and he did a lot of blues. There wasn't a lot of lead guitar on his stuff, but I remember listening to him and thinking there was no better singer around.
"Ray did a lot of music – he did rhythm and blues, country, he did it all – but I always loved his take on the blues. He had the right kind of voice for it."
Eric Clapton
"Eric Clapton's probably my favorite guitar player of all time – him and Jeff Beck and Hendrix. He's played with everybody – BB and John Mayall and everybody you need to know.
"I guess the stuff he did with the Cream might be what I really like, even though it's all great. That was psychedelic hard rock, but he was still playing blues licks.
"Eric's probably the best picker around these days, him and Jeff Beck. They're the cream of the crop."
Buddy Guy
"Buddy Guy's a big influence on me because he influenced Eric Clapton so much. Because I was so inspired by Clapton, I listened to Buddy Guy. That's how it goes down sometimes.
"We know Buddy's producer, Tom Hambridge. We wrote some with him for our new album. He and Buddy got a Grammy for the last record they did together. I'd say he's a real inspirational guy, Buddy. He's 76 years old and he still plays his ass off. He's fast, he's having a great time, he's singing so great. It's so nice that we have him around."
Robert Johnson
"He's the original, isn't he? I just love him. Of course, we all love the song Crossroads. We recorded that on our live album, and we really dug the way the Cream did it.
"Robert Johnson is an essential bluesman. You listen to Clapton – he does a lot of Robert Johnson. You have to go back to the guys who started it. It's unbelievable how great Robert Johnson was."
Albert King
"Fortunately, we got to play with him in the early '70s. He was such a character. I remember he was late for a show, and he came driving up in a Cadillac. He got out, took his guitar from the back of the car, and then he just walked onstage, plugged in – there was a house band backing him up – and he just started playing without a care in the world. So cool.
"He broke a string during his set, and he changed it right there in the middle of a song. Just pulled an E string out of his pocket and put it on while he sang – he didn't miss a beat.
"He always blew my mind with his music, but just seeing the way he acted on that stage – what a guy!"
BB King
"BB really helped us get going. He was probably the most popular blues artist in the '70s. He had a couple of hits back then – Sweet Little Angel and The Thrill Is Gone. All his stuff is so good.
"We used to play his songs in our set when we were doing the clubs every night. He was a great influence on all of us. BB King's quite a role model to anybody who loves the blues.
"As a guitar player, he's got that sound and that feel. Jeff Beck, Eric Clapton and those guys – I love it when you hear a few notes and you know who it is. With BB, I think you can tell in one note."
John Mayall
"When I heard the Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton, that's when I really got turned on to John Mayall. I loved that album so much, the one with them sitting on the sidewalk. What a record!
"Clapton had the kind of blues guitar sound that I really liked, so I have to give a lot of credit to John for having him in that band. Lots of great people played with John over the years, but that one record might be the best. Mayall is a genuine blues artist all the way."
Keb Mo
"Keb Mo is just so great. He's the blues up and down. An amazing singer and picker. He's really one of my favorites, if not the favorite, right now."
Muddy Waters
"An essential blues artist. I've always loved him. We first started playing I'm A Man because of The Yardbirds. They made that song popular in the '60s in the rock world, but we also heard it by Muddy Waters on the Bluesway [record label]. We were exposed to both kinds.
"We got to play with him one time, and man, it was so great watching his set. He and the band he was with, they were something. He really made his slide guitar talk. Seeing him inspired me to play more slide."

Saturday, October 6 marked Ecological Debt Day - the day when humanity has consumed all the resources the planet will produce this year.
Ecological Debt Day highlights the fact that humanity is living off its ecological credit card. Just as spending more money than you have in the bank leads to financial debt, ecological overshoot, or using more resources than the planet can renew in a year, accumulates an ecological debt. This can go on for a short time, but ultimately it leads to a build up of waste and the depletion of the very resources on which the human economy depends.
A recent feature on population in the Economist discusses economic challenges when a nation's population falls. In this feature, "How to deal with a falling population", 28 July 2007, the Economist tries to minimize concerns about world population by saying that we are "hardly near the point of [resource] exhaustion".
The Economist received a flood of letters insisting that rising world population and resource depletion are indeed serious problems. So many comments were sent in that the Economist published a follow-up piece, Population and its discontents: Lighten the footprint but keep the feet. This too highlighted deep misunderstandings about the relationship between population and humanity's demand on our biosphere, and in particular, confusing population growth rates and population size.
We are thrilled to welcome our new partner the Center for a New American Dream. The Center has long had a major influence in North America, helping people to examine consumerism, live better lives and make a difference. Author Bill McKibbin recently said: "The Center for a New American Dream has hit on just the right mission and just the right tone: we can live happier lives, and when we do our communities, human and natural, will prosper as a result."
Global Footprint Network is excited to have a new partner so experienced with connecting with the American public to add value to our partner community.
There is one complex term to describe our future: limited biocapacity. The earth's limited biocapacity is the greatest challenge we face as investors and as humans. We are already facing it, but the severity of its effects depends on where you live and how much money you have.
The planet provides some amazing ecosystem services for our economy. It recycles our polluted air and dirty water; it provides timber, cropland, and many other raw materials and support services. When I was born in 1960, the ecological footprint of the world economy consumed about half of the earth's resource capacity. In other words, our 1960 world economy consumed less than what the earth was able to renew, recycle, or produce as ecosystem services. Twenty five years later the ecological footprint of the world economy doubled. In 1985, we hit the threshold of using everything the planet could renew, recycle, or produce each year. If the ecological footprint of our world economy had stayed at this level, society's demand on nature would be in balance with nature's capacity to meet that demand-assuming we had transitioned from oil to renewable energy. But that's not what happened.
Global Footprint Network's National Accounts Committee is charged with recommending updates to the data and methods used in the National Footprint Accounts, a central database that calculates the Ecological Footprint and biocapacity of 150 nations from 1961 through the present.
Beginning October 15th, the National Accounts Committee is opening a public comment period concerning three sets of recommendations:
1) A change to the nuclear equivalency method for calculating the nuclear Footprint.2) The inclusion of carbon emissions from non-fossil fuel sources.3) A series of seven updates to individual data sources used in the accounts.
To comment on these recommendations, please take this survey. The comment period will be open until November 15th.
There are a variety of tools available for national material flow accounting including the Ecological Footprint, MIPS, Environmental Space, and others. In August, some of Europe's leading research institutes aligned behind a common agenda to strengthen resource accounting because, in their words: "Providing for the well-being of a still growing world population within the limits of a finite planet is the key challenge for our future. Physical accounts and derived indicators are indispensable monitoring and analysis tools to understand and manage material flows through our economies. They are necessary for Europe to reach one central goal: to become the most resource and energy efficient region in the world - a region that maintains, rather than liquidates, natural capital."
Read the consensus statement
As we continue to grow, we have a need for talented and dedicated people to lead our cutting edge programs. Working for Global Footprint Network provides exiting opportunities to work with partner organizations all over the world, and to experience the satisfaction of having world wide impact.

Coordinator: Can B. Aktas, Ph.D.
"Live in the moment." "Live like there's no tomorrow." And the all-time favorite: "You can't take it with you." All sound advice for the type of personality that frets over the past or worries about the future. But in terms of the earth, its resources, and the future generations who will need them, it's misguided. In the late 20th century, the modern concept of sustainability began to address the reality that the activities of the present generation must take into account the needs of future generations. Our program will give you a thorough education in this urgent but complex issue and prepare you to make a contribution in one of the most important fields of the 21st century.
Understand the trans-disciplinary nature of the issue.
Sustainability is a multi-faceted issue, since the problem of dwindling natural resources must be balanced with the needs of the present generation for energy, food, health, shelter, and transportation.
In a nutshell, there are three main aspects of sustainability: environmental, social, and economic. Our course curriculum pulls in all of these perspectives so that you can understand how they interact with each other in successful ways and unsuccessful ones.
At the same time, you'll develop an understanding of the vision and methodology for successfully balancing competing interests in order to accomplish the ultimate goal — human well-being and security, now and years from now.
Learn from a trans-disciplinary faculty.
Your instructors hail from all the disciplines that make up the field of sustainability. They are recognized experts in:
- Mechanical engineering, including the study of traditional and alternative energy principles and energy efficiency concepts.
- Civil and environmental engineering, including physical, chemical and biological treatment processes for environmental control, contaminant fate and transport, and sustainable remedial processes
- Biology and environmental science, with landscape ecology approaches to sea floor ecology, food web ecosystem models for estuarine systems, effects of salt marsh change on coastal ecology, and geographic information systems in environmental assessment
- Economics and finance, with specialization in international economics, quantitative decision-making, risk-adjusted economic performance, competition policy performance, and anti-competitive practices
- System and Industrial Engineering, with specialization in product design, the use of sustainability indicators and eco-indictors, decision and policy making for complex socio-technical systems, multinational corporation supply chain and transportation network design.
- History and sociology of science and technology, with a research focus on the history of technology use in society
- Visual and Performing Arts, with a specialty in drawing, 3D Animation, and sculpture that focuses on environmental design and social commentary
- Human resource management, leadership, team building, and multicultural issues in the work place
- Many other disciplines, including cellular biology, environmental geology, sales management, and entrepreneurship.
Get the hands-on experience that grooms you for a career.
You'll back up your classroom learning with hands-on practice that lets you apply theory to reality. Through our required internship or field experience, you'll get "real life" exposure to sustainability challenges. In addition, a sequence of two capstone courses will interweave the trans-disciplinary knowledge you've acquired with practical, problem-solving experiences.
This kind of experience is the best rehearsal there is for a full-time career after graduation and is often a deal-closer in job interviews. In fact, Career Opportunity News found that employers give more weight to internships than grade-point average, leadership qualities, or technical skills.
Take a look at the jobs forecast.
Predictions for job growth in the field are quite good. Connecticut Economic Digest estimates a 16% increase from 2006 in the number of green jobs in Connecticut. The industry sector expecting the largest increase in "green" employment is management, scientific, and technical consulting services, with a projected increase of 29%.
The Connecticut Economic Digest goes on to say that even though companies will be creating new green jobs, the greening of existing occupations will affect the labor market to a greater extent as companies and consumers become more environmentally conscious.

Postgame: San Jose
The Columbus Dispatch - March 16, 2013 09:49 PM
In my recap of tonight's 1-1 Crew draw against San Jose, I held back from definitively drawing a parallel between this year's team and the primary woes that sunk last year's version. Namely, the Crew's inability to protect a lead.
After overhauling the defense, the Crew has now allowed a tying or go-ahead goal in consecutive games. Last week was the misplayed pass from goalkeeper Andy Gruenebaum to defender Gláuber that resulted in the final goal of a 2-1 defeat, a mistake that came out of the Crew's desire to play faster soccer out of the back line. Those things can happen, especially on the road far from home.
What was surprising to me, however, was how quickly the Crew gave up the tying goal in its home opener. After Gláuber opened his MLS account with a header off a Federico Higuain corner kick, the Crew seemed to get stuck watching the ball instead of making a play. Against a team like San Jose, that is a recipe for disaster.
It also was surprising for a few reasons. It happened while the Crew was playing at home after taking the lead in what had otherwise been a nondescript game for large portions. It struck me as a time when the Crew should have smelled blood in the water instead of looking indecisive.
Head coach Robert Warzycha said he likes the fact that the Earthquakes pushed the Crew in the final 20 minutes and that the team had to battle through tough elements to preserve the draw. The experience will pay off down the road, he said, especially for a team still very much learning how to play together.
It is far too early to paint a full picture or this team, as it is too quick to press the panic button. It just seemed a strange time to lose the lead for a team that is being touted as a legitimate candidate to win the Eastern Conference by its front office.
More Speas
After midfielder Eddie Gaven did little in the way of game-like action this week, it was no surprise that the veteran was held out and second-year player Ben Speas earned his second consecutive start. The homegrown player was dangerous for much of the game, suffering two fouls and recording one shot on goal.
Warzycha said the coaches asked Speas and designated player Federico Higuain to essentially swap roles for the evening.
"(Higuain) is a very good player and he needs to find the ball and that's what he was doing," the coach said. "Everybody knows him and everybody knows he's very dangerous around the box. That's why Ben Speas was very successful inside, because they switched roles. Ben was more inside and that's why we found Ben instead of Higuain. We planned that before the game."
Fellow second-year midfielder Ethan Finlay (more on him later) said he was proud of Speas' recent results.
"You want to find yourself on the field more consistently," Finlay said. "You have to be able to come in and contribute and fight for position. Ben has stepped in and done a great job. I'm real proud of him from a young guy perspective. It's good to see coach is willing to put these young guys in the game."
Said Warzycha: "(Speas) is a good player and he finds a lot of success on the left side or in the middle of the field. He's connecting the passes and linking the forward and defenders and midfielders so yeah, I'm happy with his performance."
Warzycha said Gaven should be back in the lineup for next weekend's road game against D.C. United.
"Eddie ran yesterday and today and the day before," Warzycha said after the draw. "Today we decided he's not going to be available. We'd rather have him for the next game."
Although he said he was happy to be in the lineup, Speas admitted to a bit of a hollow feeling given the final outcome.
"It was great to be out there with the guys and to help contribute," he said. "It was nice being out there trying to make things happen and proving that I can be out there. I felt good at times. Unfortunate to give up the goal and have them tie it up. There's a lot of things we had to deal with – wind, whatever – but it was the same for them. They had to deal with it too. It's tough to use excuses.
"We walk out of here with a point, which isn't the end of the world. It's nice to have a point. Wish it was three."
Finlay spark
When I headed back to Columbus after spending five days watching the Crew's preseason training in Kissimmee, Fla., no player had impressed me more than Finlay. The former first-round draft pick looked dangerous with the ball and seemed to have fully adjusted to the speed and physicality of MLS, and we saw a lot of that against the Earthquakes.
Immediately after being subbed on for Dominic Oduro in the 63rd minute, Finlay was taken down in the penalty area and likely should have earned the Crew a penalty kick. Four minutes later, he earned the corner that resulted in Gláuber's go-ahead goal.
"You don't see that stuff on the stat sheet, but I think a lot of guys tonight did a lot of things you won't find on the stat sheet," Finlay said. "It was tough conditions out there. We created some chances there in the second half. It's unfortunate because we fight so hard to let a goal in and only get a tie out of this game."
Warzycha said Finlay is showing progress in his second season.
"Sometimes players don't have the best game," the coach said. "As dangerous as Dominic Oduro can be, we thought Ethan could provide some spark and I think he provided it with the first touch. That was very close."
Cold, cold, cold
I felt for the fans in the elements as the sun went down and temperatures dropped inside Crew Stadium. Even Warzycha joked that while the weather was rough on the players, it was probably rougher on those who were not afforded the luxury of physical activity to keep warm.
Defender Chad Marshall pointed out that the grounds crew was unable to water the field for fear it would damage the irrigation system, which will remain the case until temperatures remain well above freezing in Columbus.
"It was tough," he said. "It's tough to hit long balls. (The field) was very slow, and with the wind it was tough to pick people out. And it was freezing, so you couldn't feel your face or your hands."
After second-round draft pick Drew Beckie made the 18 for the season-opening road trip to Chivas and Vancouver, he was replace in the home opener by offseason homegrown signing Chad Barson. That fact in itself shows that Barson is progressing.
"He was on the bench available for the game today, so that says a lot," Warzycha said. "Maybe if it had gone a little different we'd see him on the field, but he's made a lot of progress."

Meg Wood hired to lead High Peaks Hospice
SARANAC LAKE – Meg Wood of Schroon Lake is the new executive director of High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care Inc., the organization's Board of Directors announced Monday.
Wood has spent seven years on the board of the Saranac Lake-based hospice group, which supports dying people and their families. Most recently she served as the board's president.
Also Monday, High Peaks Hospice announced that it has promoted Tina Moody of Bloomingdale as its chief operating officer. She has been with the agency for 10-and-a-half years, the last eight as business manager.
Wood replaces TylaAnn Burger, who was dismissed, according to Director of Development Darsie Townsend. Burger had been executive director since fall 2011.
"It didn't work out," Townsend told the Enterprise, declining to say more.
In a press release, Wood said she looks forward to her new role.
"Especially important is our ongoing goal to enhance and improve the quality of care that has been an integral part of our North Country communities since 1986," she said.
Moody's promotion comes with a change to High Peaks Hospice's organizational chart. The newly created position of chief operating officer gives her more authority in making financial decisions. It is also, according to the press release, "recognition of the many positive contributions that she has made to the agency for the past 10 years."
"I am honored to be part of the team that helps patients and families during their difficult time," Moody said in the release. "We have a lot to offer, but unfortunately, all too often, we are only there for the last couple of days or weeks. I hope we can change this so everyone receives the care they deserve."
High Peaks Hospice & Palliative Care is intended to support people in the last six months of a terminal illness, focusing on comfort and quality of life rather than cure. Family and loved ones are also cared for during this time, as well during their bereavement. Care is most often given in the patient's home, or wherever he or she calls home.
The services are covered by Medicare and Medicaid and most private insurance providers; however, High Peaks Hospice serves anyone who qualifies, regardless of their ability to pay.
High Peaks Hospice serves Essex, Warren and portions of Franklin, Hamilton and St. Lawrence counties, and awaits final approval by the state Department of Health to expand to Washington County.
For more information, call 518-891-0606 in Saranac Lake, 518-942-6513 in Mineville or 518-743-1672 in Queensbury, or visit www.highpeakshospice.org.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Preparing for the Worst
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- It's becoming increasingly apparent there will be no federal budget deal by January, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Wednesday.
So if the nation falls off the proverbial fiscal cliff, investors need to be ready with a game plan.
Cramer said compromise appears to still be the enemy in Washington, with several congressmen digging in their heels and sticking to their previous vows to never raise taxes, no matter how desperately they may be needed.He said the current scenario feels much like the passage of the Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, a few years ago, where politicians only got on board with the plan after the market fell by 10% and they realized just how bad things would become.
Cramer predicted the markets will see their first leg lower during the last week of the year as nervous investors liquidate positions ahead of the new tax rules. Afterward, Cramer said, we're likely to see further declines every Thursday as jobless claims begin to rise.
So how can investors protect themselves? Cramer said all stocks will feel the pain of the cliff, but those that will recover first will be those with the biggest gains before the cliff.
He said the housing recovery will continue on, which means stocks like Home Depot (HD) , Sherwin-Williams (SHW) and Whirlpool (WHR) will bounce first, as will the high-yielders like AT&T (T) and Verizon (VZ) .
Be ready to scamper out of the abyss, Cramer concluded, because after the markets fall by 10% or more, these stocks will be the ones to help us recover.
What the Heck?
In his "What The Heck?" segment, Cramer turned the spotlight on Trimble Navigation (TRMB) , a once-left-for-dead global-positioning company that is now flirting with its 52-week highs and is up over 18% in just the past 30 days.
Cramer said he was amazed at what he found when looking into Trimble because the company is no longer just making commodity GPS sensors like everyone else.
Trimble got smart, said Cramer, and evolved into communications, which then led to data modeling and analytics and finally gave the company an entire suite of software tools to help those in construction and other industries run their operations more effectively.
Trimble has now entered into a joint venture with Caterpillar (CAT) and its machine control technology is being sold right alongside CAT's biggest equipment. This gives Trimble a competitive edge, noted Cramer, in an industry where there is still plenty of room to grow.
Trimble last delivered an earnings beat of 6 cents a share on better than expected revenue. Shares currently are going for 17.8 times earnings and the company has an 18.3% growth rate.
