I don't think Florida is playing for much in this one. If LSU can get past UGA, they need to bring the heat against Florida. Would be a huge win for LSU.
SEC tournament championship
Most programs in the SEC don't really love the SEC Tournament. All good programs would rather have an extra week of SEC play. Really hear bad reviews about the tournament from most.
NOT the fans. It is fun for the fans, but the teams are just worried about losing players to injuries playing for multiple days in a row. Players don't have to do that in the NCAA tournament.
Most programs in the SEC don't really love the SEC Tournament.
Pre-game LSU dunk-a-palooza can be found HERE.
Every time Courtney and Collins enter the game I want to vomit. Even worse when they are on the floor at the time same Collins is a freshman, I understand that, but Jalen Courtney... c'mon man.
hopefully that's 5-10 minutes total between the two
I think Malone is a RS candidate too.
You going to be straeming Thursday or are you thinking you will be too sick to work?
They totally lost mental control of the game. A few balls didn't drop their way and then they just lost it. People were passing to players unaware the ball was coming to them. Players didn't know where they were on the court. The awareness went to a season low for a 10 minute stretch. After that, LSU was playing catchup, which is very tough against the Ole Miss offense.

text: So, I don't know if this thread is going to get shut down or not; as far as I know it's allowed but if I'm wrong, I do apologize. I'm a fairly casual figure skating fan; I follow the major competitions and such, but I have to be fairly informed as to exactly when they're going on and where I can find info. I haven't been looking into much this season and I finally realized why; I'm not following any FS blogs! I had a few that I read during the last few years, but a few of them shut down or went on hiatus and the others; I don't recall what happened to them. So I was wondering, what would you recommend for a good (or several good) blogs about figure skating? It can be as elaborate as opinion pieces, or just competition run-downs with results and thoughts included. I love following this sport but I admit that my life is so crazy that I need just a bit of help getting to where I need to go! Thank you so much in advance.

By this time it was becoming obvious that Gem�s illness wasn�t lessening and on the day we arrived she was feeling particularly unwell
We tried on a few silly hats at the neighbouring shop and headed back. Well, these pills did provide us with some amusement. The packaging could have been from some kind of joke shop or 1970's horror film, complete with a cartoon drawing of a pair of kidneys on the front, and other than the single line of English in the intructions all other script was Thai. The one warning was about the colour it would turn the pee-pee, and I think it was early the next day that Gem ushered Tim and I into the bathroom to have a look at the toilet contents
So anyway - let's move on. The day after we arrived Gem and I hired a scooter for the equivalent of about 80p an hour and went island exploring. I drove and Gem was my passenger. Afterwards she said it might have been her favourite Thailand activity to date! The other side of the island was only about 15-20 minutes drive and we passed through various shack villages that made the island feel a lot less touristy than some of the other places we'd stayed. We stopped half way across at a bar with an impressive view over the island and had a couple of drinks. We also stopped briefly in Old Town, the oldest settlement on the island. It was just as I was beginning to feel a lot more confident on the scooter that we arrived back at our resort and handed back the key - nevermind.
That evening we visited a restaurant a little further down the beach and sat on a mat around a low table. We ordered barbequed seafood, including some huge prawns, and watched a guy playing with fire poi
Anyway, I think it was the following day that we boarded a ferry bound for Krabi. See you there ...

From the traditional folk song of the Southern United States, "The Yellow Rose of Texas". The Yellow Rose was Emily West Morgan, a mulatto. The term 'High Yellow' was used to describe non-Caucasian people whose skin color was so light, that they could pass for white. A high yellow female was sometimes referred to as a Yellow Rose.

Berklee has the most control over the impact of on-campus operations, and has made the greatest strides in measuring and improving it.
- Energy
The college has reduced its energy use by 8% since 2006, by updating lighting systems; installing automatic controls for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment; and upgrading to more efficient appliances.
- Buildings
Buildings are generally the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions on campus, and therefore the primary target for reduction. Berklee's upcoming building at 168 Mass. Ave. will be designed by William Rawn Architects, designers of the LEED Platinum Cambridge Public Library, and will feature sustainable elements.
- Food
Berklee's dining services provider, Aramark, makes sustainability a cornerstone of their operations, offering local and vegan food, composting, and limiting disposables with reusable-to-go containers.
- Waste
Berklee has reduced its total waste and diverted waste from landfills by recycling and composting.
- Transportation
The college encourages students and staff to displace car trips with walking, biking, and public transportation, and to avoid traveling when possible by telecommuting and using flex time.
- Purchasing
Berklee's purchasing policies ensure it buys nontoxic cleaning products, recycled paper, and products from local businesses.

AOL Wins Uptime Institute Award For The Second Year Running
Apr 18, 2013
AOL is proud to announce that we will be honored as a winner of the Uptime Institute Server Roundup for our efforts to improve data center efficiency around the globe at the upcoming Uptime Institute Symposium.
For the second year in a row, AOL has won for overall tally of servers removed. We decommissioned 8,253 servers in 2012, which has meant a total savings of almost $3 million from reduced utility costs, maintenance and recovery of asset resale/scrap. Environmental benefits were seen in the reduction of more than 16,000 tons of carbon emissions as well. Last year, AOL removed nearly 10,000 and saved over $5 million.
The annual Uptime Institute Server Roundup contest was introduced in October 2011 to raise awareness about the removal and recycling of comatose and obsolete IT equipment in an effort to reduce data center energy use. Uptime Institute invited companies around the globe to help address and solve this problem by participating in the Uptime Institute Server Roundup and AOL is delighted to be a part of it.

Hundreds honor fallen Jefferson Co. EMS chief
First-responders across C. Oregon come together for procession
MADRAS, Ore. - Hundreds of flashing lights, dozens of vehicles, dozens of uniforms and a somber silence in Madras.
More than 100 first responders across Central Oregon and beyond came together Thursday afternoon to remember one of their own: a procession for fallen Jefferson County Emergency Medical Services Chief Don Heckathorn.
"It's going to be a tear-jerker, probably not a dry eye in the place," said Jefferson Rural Fire District Chief Brian Huff.
It was a formal goodbye to a man who served his community for more than 20 years.
"These agencies throughout Central Oregon, a lot of them do know Don," said Interim Jefferson County EMS Chief Michael Lepin.
Heckathorn died last week, several days after his motorcycle was struck by a car on Highway 97 south of Madras.
Oregon State Police say the driver failed to stop at a stop sign.
But on Thursday, the focus was on a fallen friend, family member and colleague.
From his fellow first responders, to the man who cut his hair -- it's a community-wide loss.
"Working as the EMT, he helped out hundreds, thousands of people in our community. He had a servant's heart for sure," said barber Nick Bowlby.
Community members were easing the pain by honoring his memory.
"I'm very proud of the community, to come together and helping out his family in a time of need," Bowlby said.
The procession was followed by a memorial service at the Jefferson County Middle School.
District Attorney Steve Leriche said Oregon State Police are still investigating the crash and no charges have been filed against the driver of the car.

Another one of my hair-brain ideas, but here goes!
I know the gallery is all about photography and the members personal photographs. But, I feel that in todays digital age, some of the impetus has moved away from the actual photograph and edged towards the digital darkroom, perhaps as much as 60%/40%, the 60 being the photograph. I know that all the photographs I take now go through a strenuous post processing process (coz out of the camera most of them look pretty crap! )
Photography is completely subjective and one photo can be liked equally as much as it is disliked. As such, there are many photos I see in the gallery which I consider to be average to good - but I feel that with a little post processing they could be very good. As I mentioned above about the % that is taken up in the digital darkroom, aka ps or psp or whatever, is ever increasing and is a very important part of the finished photograph. There is so much that I am still to learn about post processing and I feel that by sharing best practice and also by raising the stakes and actually using a competition as a vehicle for this, we could all learn from each other and improve our own phots in the process.
How this would work is the question. I have my own ideas but am not sure of the legalities etc. The crux of it is this - One raw photograph (converted to jpeg) being downloaded by all. Everyone edits and processes to their hearts content, then uploads their version for judging. As part of the rules each entry must have in the description the software used and a brief but susinct walkthrough to all processed used. Perhaps Mark could provide a photo or even the members could submit photos to be used (depending on copyright etc)
1. A monthly or weekly competition with or without prize (personally I think there should be no prize, as winning should be prize enough)
2. One photo available for download by all - no restrictions to post processing techniques.
3. Perhaps (if possible) a separate album to upload photos to so as not to fill everyones albums with the same photo.
4. All photos to include description of process and software used.
5. Anything else I havent thought of.
If this was possible, I feel that it would be very worthwhile to everyone. I know you can buy books on ps and watch online tutorials etc, but nothing beats being able to see the variety of possible results that can be achieved and also to have the process available of how it was done.
Just a thought.
New Weekly/monthly Competition?

It does sounds like a gret idea. I remember mentioning that kind of thing with steewart a while ago.
I would suggest that for each round, there is a few ( say 5 or 10) pictures that we can choose from as we don't find inspiration in the same subject.
I would be willing to provide some of my raw file if needed.

Buddy of mine had lunch with Larry Fedora this week...basically what I got from him was Coach Fedora wasn't that high on Gilmore...said he talked to local HS coaches that played against Gilmore.
Quote "we didn't feel he was Offer material"
Wow is all I can say that! But I do see UNC did offer according to the recruiting services...so I don't know to what to think about that comment because it doesn't add up.
Easy to say that kind of thing when you don't have a shot at signing the kid.
eally really good. Out of all the DL we have committed right now, hes the best. He will push for early PT too.
Ego Ferguson I think is a fair comparison...I think he'll be very good in time but would benefit greatly from a RS year.
His films just dont look all that good. I guess he has the tools though to become a force.
Why do you say that? Just curious...
I like him but I think his film leaves a little bit to be desired. It is obvious he has the physical tools but he definitely plays too high right now, almost stands up straight out of his stance. Ego Ferguson I think is a fair comparison...I think he'll be very good in time but would benefit greatly from a RS year.
Gilmore gives the Tigers a potentially dominant tackle to anchor the interior of its defensive line
Gilmore understands the importance of the weight room. His lower-body strength allows him to really drive his blockers off the line and play with a solid, strong base. His upper body will naturally develop, but Gilmore already is above average in this department.
Gilmore uses his hands effectively to keep opposing linemen from engaging. He is able to beat some of his opponents with pure strength and athleticism, so at times he can be somewhat lackluster here. Gilmore is fairly well-versed in his repertoire of moves. He shows the ability and know how to use the swim move, rip, bull rush and even a spin move to disengage.
Gilmore is a good athlete. When firing off the line he does so with a quick and powerful first step while maintaining good balance. He moves well laterally and shows a good 10-yard burst.
Gilmore should be able to stay on the field in most situations on the next level. He is stout at the point of attack and can handle the double team. He can stack and shed in the hole to make short stops in the running game. As a pass-rusher, Gilmore has a good first step to shoot the gap and quick hands. He also plays to the whistle.
Gilmore should develop into one of the better interior defensive lineman in college football as he progresses. An important factor when evaluating physically imposing athletes is their desire and drive. Gilmore has both. It is easy to see why he is rated as one of the top defensive lineman in the country.

Author Landvik to be at The Warehouse Oct. 18
"Oh, my goodness; oh, my goodness" (from the movie "Annie").
Have you read "Patty Jane's House of Curl"? I've read it three times!
What about "Angry Housewives Eating Bonbons," or "'Tis The Season"? "The Tall Pine Polka"?
The author of these amazing books and five others is Lorna Landvik. Guess where she's making an appearance? The Warehouse in Pine River at 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19!
Her new book, "Mayor of the Universe," is the subject of her book tour. OK. The reason for her visit is secondary to the fact of the visit. If she were just showing up to say "howdy" I'd go see her.
This is a multi-talented lady. She is also an actress, playwright and comedienne. She co-hosts a radio book club and has a one-woman improvised show called "Party at the Rec Room." And she is from Minnesota!
Thank you, Minnesota Art and Cultural Heritage Foundation, for bringing this special person to Pine River. We are privileged indeed.
I remain,
Browser, the library cat

Over on Bitmob, Brad Grenz wrote an update regarding the PSN issue that I think should be shared to people to quell some of the fear, uncertainty, and doubt currently plaguing the gaming public.
Grenz found a post on the Beyond3D forums that detailed what some quick thinking and even quicker researching could do. Writes Grenz,
One member of the Beyond3D forum, deathindustrial, was curious about the outdated server software claim and did a very brief amount of very interesting research into the issue….
(Beyond3D's community has a unique combination of technically knowledgable user with a low rate of console fanboyism, allowing for an honest discussion of things like the PSN data breach without the conversation devolving into another proxy battle in the great fanboy wars.)
As it turns out, it is fairly simple to use Google's webcache to show what version of Apache the PSN servers were using back in March. According to a page request archived by Google on March 23, 2011, at that time Sony was running version 2.2.17 of the software. You can see from Apache's website that 2.2.17 is the latest stable version of the webserver available even today. This is a direct repudiation of the claims being made that Sony's webservers were out of date by as much as five years.
In connection to this, the poster, deathindustrial, also noted the exact quote said by Dr. Stafford, the "security expert," during the testimony before congress. Instead of turning there, it might be better if I link to Pete's post over on Dragonchasers from a few days back, which has the quote written down but also put in video form. As it stands, Stafford had "no information about what protections they had in place," which sort of makes his testimony a rather moot point.
Of course, we're all still waiting for word on Sony's PSN servers, but if we spread the word and get people to think more rationally about the situation, it may prove to our benefit that folks don't jump to conclusions about the reputation of an entity as important as Sony.
I just had a thought about this. Seeing as Sony's already mentioned and apologized for flaws in their security, it's probably good to note that up-to-date servers may not necessarily mean completely secure servers (though I doubt there is something like a completely secure server, anyway, but I digress).
I'll take my own advice and not make the logical leap from one idea to the next without thinking about it further. Apologies to all.
I checked back on the post that this write-up is based on, and there appears to be another wrinkle in the entire thing. Bitmob commenter Psycho Logikal is asserting that the news post written on Bitmob is inaccurate, for lack of a better way of putting it.
According to Psycho Logikal, the research done was in reference only to a subset of the servers Sony was using for PSN. If such is the case, then the article from Bitmob would be inaccurate to a certain degree by virtue of bad wording, but contains otherwise useful information.
I'll watch the discussion for more information as it becomes available.

Bank volunteers assist Bend, Redmond Habitat
BEND, Ore. - Three families in Bend and one in Redmond are being given a helping hand, thanks to a partnership between Wells Fargo and local affiliates of the nonprofit Habitat for Humanity organization.
Wells Fargo donated $45,000 to Habitat for Humanity in Bend and $15,000 to Habitat for Humanity in Redmond. The grants from the Wells Fargo Housing Foundation are in support of the volunteer hours worked by Wells Fargo employees for the Habitat affiliates.
Habitat for Humanity uses mostly volunteer labor to build affordable homes. The agency sells the homes to low-income buyers with zero-interest mortgages. Wells Fargo has given $319,200 to 13 Habitat affiliates in Oregon this year to support their efforts.
"Wells Fargo continues to be a great partner by providing financial support as well as volunteer help on our home projects," said Scott Brown, director of Redmond Habitat for Humanity.
"In addition to helping families achieve the American dream of homeownership, this support has an economic impact on our community," added Robin Cooper Engle, community outreach manager at Bend Habitat for Humanity.
"Each time we build a home we are providing direct and indirect economic benefit through paying system development charges, fees, wages to subcontractors like electricians and plumbers," said Cooper Engle. "And our families pay property taxes once they acquire the homes. There is also tremendous research that shows that homeownership improves civic engagement, better educational outcomes, and healthier citizens."
Wells Fargo team members across the nation volunteer thousands of hours every year for Habitat. They raise walls, make interior improvements, paint, landscape and perform a variety of other construction duties at build sites around the region.
"We do everything we can to help our communities succeed financially," said James Weber, Wells Fargo's Community Banking district manager in Bend. "That includes supporting great nonprofit groups like Habitat that provide much needed services to our local residents in need."
About Habitat for Humanity in Bend
Bend Area Habitat is in its 24th year of building affordable housing, and is ranked one of the 100 Best Green Companies to work for in Oregon. It also provides home repair and weatherization services to low income individuals and families. Bend Area Habitat serves the Bend and Crook County communities. For more information: http://www.bendhabitat.org/.
About Habitat for Humanity in Redmond
Redmond Habitat for Humanity became an affiliate in 1999 and is an ecumenical Christian housing ministry dedicated to providing simple, decent, affordable housing to qualifying low-income families in the Redmond area so that they can improve both their lives and the community in which they share. Its philosophy is that the economically disadvantaged need capital, not charity, and co-workers, not caseworkers, in order to obtain a simple decent home in a decent community.

What Toyota did need, however, was an all-electric zero-emissions vehicle to be able to continue selling vehicles in California. By 2025, 15.4% of all new cars sold in California must be a zero emissions vehicle (ZEV). In response, automakers are coming out with what the industry is calling "compliance cars," or cars that satisfy those minimum requirements put forth by the California Air Resources Board (CARB).
While Toyota has the ever-growing Prius arsenal, none of those vehicles are ZEV, so they needed something in the short-term to start building up to that 15.4% fleet requirement. Until 2025, these "compliance cars" will be sold to build up enough credits to use when the legislation goes live.
So why did the collaboration yield an electric compact SUV in the form of a RAV4? RAV4 was chosen because it was already being built in North America (Ontario, Canada), a requirement set by Toyota's CEO Akio Toyoda. The RAV4 also had a reasonable amount a space to fix a battery, while allowing for reasonable range. Finally, the RAV4 was already part of an EV program back in the late 90s. 1,500 were produced back then and some are still on the road today.
This time around the EV has unexpected guts. The RAV4's ground clearance allows for the massive slab of battery cells to be packaged under the floor, without requiring major changes to the interior of the vehicle. This huge space let engineers pack in a lithium ion pack with 41.8 kWh of energy--more than the base battery in the Model S. And speaking of the Model S, the RAV4 EV has the same electric motor, but detuned, of course. 154 hp might not sound like a lot, but it's important to make the distinction that it power comes from an AC induction electric motor, which feels much different than 154 hp from a gas engine.
In addition to the large battery, engineers sought to shave the drag coefficient from .35 to a car-like .30. The side-view mirrors were taken directly from the Korean Camry, to save on drag. The result is an EPA-rated range of 103 miles; 78 MPGe city, 74 MPGe highway, and 76 MPGe combined. Far from the Honda Fit EV's 118 MPGe, but considering the size, we'd say this is pretty good.
Charging times are just 6 hours on a 240V quick charging station. Unfortunately, Tesla Supercharging will not be available.
Toyota and Tesla will only make 2,600 units through the end of 2014, based on the 2012 RAV4, not the all-new 2013 redesign. The price will be $49,800, pre-incentive. Incentives include a $2,500 rebate through California's Clean Vehicle rebate program and a $7,500 Federal Tax Credit. Another incentive includes access to California's HOV lane, which surprisingly has been working well for other EVs. Those who would rather lease can get a 36-month lease for $599 per month with $3,499 due at signing.
We're excited to see more EVs on the road, regardless of their sales plan. Increase in public awareness, advances in technology, and more options for EV buyers will only further the adoption of this technology. We applaud the successful partnership of the two very different companies, and hope that the shared lessons will only serve to strengthen future green-conscious collaborations in the automotive industry.

Breezy Point photographer captures nature
Mark Harlow, of Breezy Point, has traveled all over the country in his Toyota Tacoma, photographing wildlife and scenery. The truck currently has 602,000 miles on it — evidence of his adventures.
Mark works hard to create impactful images of nature. His work includes photos of grizzlies, wild horses, bald eagles and more, all in wild situations — never staged and never with animals in captivity or fabricated locations.
Mark strives to capture intensity and emotion in his subjects, which has often required close calls with wild horses and grizzly bears across the country.
He wasn't always taking trips to photograph wildlife, though. Before becoming a full-time photographer, Mark trained to be a scanner operator for high-end images. He attended North Hennepin Tech to learn the color separation process for printing, a very specialized degree.
In 1985 he began his training on a scanner, but only 10 days later was nearly killed in a car accident. He was out for a year and a half.
Mark started his own print management company in the Twin Cities and did some commercial photography here and there. Most of his business was in print and packaging.
A business acquaintance in Walker became a friend, and Mark was introduced to the lakes area, which he came to love. It was in Walker that something clicked with Mark and wildlife photography.
In 2004 he walked out on Leech Lake at Shingobee Bay to do some ice fishing. He noticed swans swimming in an opening of water, and Mark was so struck by the scene that he went to tear his brand-new digital camera from the packaging.
Mark had to read the manual to figure out how to work the camera — memory stick? What's that? He'd only shot film before that point.
Mark went back out on the ice and sat for an hour and a half before the swans got into place. His very first shot hangs on the wall of his living room.
Mark calls the photo an "epiphany moment." He said every thrill he'd had for photography from a very young age came rushing back.
Tragedy hit Mark's life when his mother fell ill. Mark had shown her his swan photo and said she simply loved it. Diagnosed with cancer, she sat Mark down just three days before she died.
"She gave me the mom talk, and that's all I'm going to say," Mark said.
In 2005 Mark began to ease into nature photography. Then, 2007 was his first full year of nature photography, and in April of 2008 he went officially into full-time nature work.
Just five months later the housing crash happened, and the tanking economy hit Mark hard.
"My stuff's high-end discretionary," Mark said. "It's just been a battle."
Though he hit some hard times, Mark's slowly been building his business back up, and he moved to Breezy Point last July. He has a private, by-appointment gallery in his home and sells his photos on his website, markjharlow.com.
He's won national awards and is perhaps most well-known for his action shots of bald eagles. One such photo is the new logo for the National Eagle Center.
"The split-second eagle stuff is probably the hardest. But that's what I like," Mark said.
Mark performs little digital editing on his images and never takes images with continuous shooting, where the camera takes image after image in a short period of time. Rather, he shoots in single-shot mode, waiting until the desired moment to capture an image.
He says it takes more skill to do single-shot photography, and he enjoys the challenge.
Mark said he's had a lot to accomplish over the past five years, and he's proud of his body of work. He doesn't currently have any photography trips planned, but is focusing on continuing to build his business.
His photos are all centered around one thing: nature. While Mark has the equipment and knowledge to perform commercial photo shoots, he prefers the scenic views and wild animals.
"I am a true, true diehard lover of nature," he said.

Each month, Business Traveller gets inside the world of the road warrior, exploring the issues, trends and lifestyle of the traveling executive.
(CNN) -- In many ways, airplanes are a retailer's dream come true. They serve a captive -- often bored -- audience who have proven their income is disposable enough to afford air travel.
It's no wonder that in the last few years, airlines have adapted an increasingly sophisticated approach to parting customers from their money.
"By nature, airlines are mass transit operators, and they didn't necessarily have any retail savviness when they first started to unbundle -- it was very much low-hanging fruits, like chocolate bars and Pringles up and down the aisle," says Dan Thompson, senior vice president of global strategy at GuestLogix, a provider of in-flight retail solutions.
"Now, there's a new sense of maturity in retail strategies with airlines," he adds.
Lately, carriers have replaced mass market beers with craft brews, standard chips with locally sourced gourmet goodies, and added ticketed events to the retail roster. In 2011, AirBaltic even experimented with selling cars on board their flights, becoming the first carrier to do so.
"We think of flight as a travel megastore; we expect to make money for the products that we offer," says Jannis Vanags, AirBaltic's vice president for communications.
In many ways, the Latvian carrier has been a trailblazer when it comes to its retail offerings. Vanags claims it was the first airline to introduce bicycle rentals, and the first to accept Bitcoin as a form of payment. It was also one of the first airlines to allow non-passengers to make surprise purchases (think roses and champagne) for their friends in the air. Currently, customers can also buy AirBaltic-branded shoes on the flight.
"Some things have been batted around in terms of thinking outside the box, in terms of 'how wacky can we get?' and in a sense, the sky is the limit -- excuse the pun -- for what you can sell on board," says Thompson. Mainly, though, he notes that it's the tried-and-true that entice customers the most.

"Really, passengers will spend on something that enhances their trip, and means something to them because of the experience they're in at the moment. It's hard to imagine them going on board and buying a sofa that will be delivered back to their apartment."
The odd factor
For many years, airlines left the quirkier retail offering to SkyMall, the quarterly in-flight catalog available on almost all domestic flights in the United States. An old business model (the company is nearing its 25th anniversary), SkyMall has recently had to contend with the more aggressive retail strategies employed by many airlines, as well as distracting new technology; iPhones in the air mean travelers are less dependent on the catalog for entertainment.
The company, which has made a name for itself by proffering off-kilter items (the garden yeti and remote-control R2D2 robot are long-standing best-sellers), has recently started to adapt its business model, putting even more focus on quirky products. SkyMall is also in the process of launching a mobile app.
"One of the larger shifts in the last several years is we've become extremely product-centric," says Darin Geiger, SkyMall's director of merchandizing.
"We want to be proactive in finding what's new and unique. To that end, we've been going to a lot more trade shows, searching the globe for those new products."
Some of its biggest sellers, notes Geiger, are sports paraphernalia and pet products. Though he says SkyMall's customer base appreciates functionality, it's some of the stranger and more original products that capture the imagination.
"First, we look at products that are new to market, or solve problems. Then, we look for those social-media type products that our marketing team can have a lot of fun with," he adds.

Excerpt: "Chip Kelly hasn't coached a minute in the NFL, which would've concerned me greatly if I owned the Eagles.
I agree with Jeff Lurie when he says Kelly has a brilliant football mind. But the college-to-pro jump is a huge one. Huge enough that I would've stayed away from Kelly and put my money down on one of the pro guys - Gus Bradley or Ken Whisenhunt or Bruce Arians or Lovie Smith.
Publicly, Eagles players are saying all of the right things about Kelly right now. But what most of them really are thinking is, "What the hell does this guy know about coaching in the NFL?"
The recent track record of college coaches jumping to the NFL is lousy. Nick Saban was hired by the Dolphins in 2005 after winning a national championship at LSU, went 9-7, then 6-10, then scurried back to college, where he's won two more national titles at Alabama. And unlike Kelly, Saban had spent 6 years as an NFL assistant, including 4 as a defensive coordinator for Bill Belichick in Cleveland.
Bobby Petrino left Louisville to take the Falcons' head-coaching job in '07, got sick to his stomach after 13 games, only three of which his team won, and ran off to a place where they wear pigs on their heads and everybody's related to one another. And Petrino, like Saban, had NFL experience on his resumé, spending 3 years as an assistant with Jacksonville, including one as offensive coordinator.
The last college coach to get an NFL head-coaching job with no experience in the league was Mike Riley, who was hired by the Chargers in '99 and fired 3 years and only 14 wins later.
"It's going to be incumbent upon Chip and [general manager] Howie [Roseman] to bring in the type of players that fit best what he wants to do," NFL Network analyst Mike Mayock said.
"In the meantime, he and his staff have to establish credibility early with the players that he has. And I think he can. I don't know him. But from looking at the tape, I think he does a great job of taking what he has and working with it.
"If a player thinks you can make him a better player, that's what it's all about. That's the buy-in. And I think he'll be able to do that." Read more...

Chucho Valdes & The Afro-Cuban Messengers
In 1973, formed the innovative and highly influential Latin jazz ensemble Irakere. The group featured various members of the Orquesta Nacional de Musica Moderna including such stars of the Cuban music scene as trumpeter Arturo Sandoval and alto saxophonist Paquito D'Rivera. With its unique mix of jazz, rock, funk, classical and traditional Cuban rhythms, Irakere was an explosive and creative ensemble that quickly caught the attention of international audiences. Although there have been many compilations of Irakere, it was the band's Grammy winning 1979 self-titled concert album, recorded at the Newport Jazz Festival a year before, that really sparked international interest in the group. Although the band's line-up has changed over the years -- D'Rivera defected to the United States in 1980 and Sandoval (who did not defect until 1990) formed his own group in 1981 -- Irakere continues to perform and record with Valdes and new members.
Although Valdes never left Cuba, the four-time Grammy winning and three-time Latin Grammy winning virtuoso has kept a high-profile touring schedule and in 2006 was named the Goodwill Ambassador of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. Since the '80s, Valdes has released a steady flow of albums including 1986's Lucumi (Messidor), 1998's Bele Bele en la Habana (Blue Note), 2000's Live at the Village Vanguard (Blue Note), 2002's Fantasia Cubana: Variations on Classical Themes (Blue Note) and 2010's Chucho's Steps. ~ Matt Collar, Rovi

KEY LARGO -- Attorneys for Gov. Rick Scott last week refused to issue a commission to newly-appointed Key Largo Wastewater Board member David Asdourian.
Asdourian was appointed by the board last month to fill the vacancy created when former board member Susan Hammaker resigned in August.
Hammaker timed her resignation in an effort to prevent the board from adding her seat to the Nov. 6 ballot, when the seats of Robby Majeska and Charlie Brooks were already being contested.
She instead wanted the board to appoint one of the challengers, first Steve Gibbs, who declined an appointment, and later Asdourian, who agreed to an appointment and pulled his name from the general election ballot.
After board attorney Ray Giglio submitted Asdourian's certification letters to the state, he did not get the reaction the sewer board expected.
Based on his many conversations with the governor's office of general counsel, Giglio said the state contends that Asdourian's term of office should expire Nov. 6, and the district should hold a special election for someone to serve the last two year's of Hammaker's term. Board members serve four year terms.
"This is very embarrassing for David," said Brooks, who made the motion to appoint Asdourian.
Asdourian said Monday he plans to run again if a special election is held.
"With everything that happens, there are different points of view," he said. "Although I may not agree, I will respect that decision."
Giglio said the special election would have a qualifying period and would be open to anyone, including any incumbent voted out of office or any challenger who failed to win a seat Tuesday.
Brooks said the mix up isn't really something that should be blamed on Giglio, who advised the board that Asdourian's appointment would be good through Hammaker's unfinished term.
"According to Ray, there's no blame that anyone did anything wrong," Brooks said. "It's just a matter of interpretation."
Giglio said the wastewater board should not feel it erred, but that attorneys often have different interpretations of the law.
"I don't think anything was done wrong," Giglio said. "I still think that, to the extent fingers should be pointed at anyone, they should be pointed at me."
The Key Largo board could appeal the governor's decision to the attorney general, but Giglio said a decision could take 90 days. Giglio said Friday he would advise the board to move forward with a special election.
"The governor's office said, 'Do it this way,' so we'll do it their way,' Giglio said.
Board members have previously estimated the costs of conducting a special election to be about $20,000, a bill likely to be footed by Key Largo rate payers.
Giglio has asked the board to be prepared to make a decision on whether to appeal to the attorney general at its next meeting, which begins at 4 p.m Wednesday, Nov. 7.

FRESH EYES: The Second Sight Argus II Retinal Prosthesis System is now on the market in the US. If the name's too long for you, think bionic eye for blind people. 60 electrodes are implanted in the retina and interact with glasses fitted with a special mini camera. When tested on 30 people who were completely blind the system allowed some to see a little, while others could read newspaper headlines. The prosthesis replaces the function of photoreceptors in the eye that send impulses for the brain to convert into images. Things are definitely looking up for those with vision problems.
CLEANER COAL: People have long burned coal to provide heat or light and generate electricity, but the combustion produces all kinds of pollutants. Chemical looping replaces burning with a much cleaner process.
Instead of making coal react with air, the looping process exposes it to oxygen-bearing materials such as iron oxide. The reaction produces nearly pure carbon dioxide gas and iron metal. The CO2 is easy to capture, while the iron goes on to react with oxygen, creating heat that's used to make steam and generate electricity. That's an improvement, but there's still all the surplus CO2.
SAY AAH, ROBOTS: In Scotland some trainee medical staff are using lifelike robots to practice their skills. The robots are computer controlled and can react moment by moment to the actions of the trainees. The robots are designed to display symptoms such as asthma, heart attacks and infections. So long as they don't treat live people too much like the dummies they practiced on.
SPEED TAGGING: Tagging big fish such as tuna, marlin and sharks to track them isn't new, but the tags themselves need to be carefully designed to penetrate the skin and be retained for as long as possible. Thanks to the 3D printing possibilities of fused metal powder CSIRO has been able to rapidly develop better tags. Conventional machining meant delays of a couple of months for each iteration of a design. With the 3D printer though it takes only a couple of days. Half a dozen iterations, with testing and refinements, have led them to develop an effective fish tag. Who knew fish tags were so complicated?
NEEDLES OUT: Live vaccines against diseases such as HIV and malaria can save many lives. But they need to be kept at a constant very cold temperature and must be delivered with a needle, which brings contamination risks. Now scientists at King's College London have been able to create a dried live vaccine that remains stable and effective at room temperature. They also created a microneedle array from the dried vaccine and successfully used it to vaccinate test mice. The patch has many tiny very sharp needles that quickly dissolve and distribute the vaccine in the skin. This research could lead to much improved vaccination rates in developing countries and elsewhere. Presumably too the patches can be applied by people without medical training.

The St. Louis Cardinals await. But who?
With a crucial Game 5 victory in Detroit, the Red Sox now have two shots at a World Series berth. Both shots will be taken at home in Fenway Park.
Normally, that would make me feel all warm inside. Just win one game, right? Much easier said than done with Max Scherzer and Justin Verlander standing in your way. Scherzer a near lock for the Cy Young, Verlander a former MVP.
Clay Buchholz takes the mound for Boston in the first of the final two chances. His first outing of the series didn't go as planned, giving up five runs over 5 2/3 innings. Scherzer, on the other hand, was dominant, giving up just one run on two hits over 7 innings, fanning 13. Boston's offense looked inept trying to even make contact with his pitches. Papi would bail out Buchholz with a grand slam and eventually get Boston the win, but had he not, we would be singing a very different tune right now.
I'm not going to take the Belichick "one game at a time" approach here, because there is a serious threat to Boston's World Series hopes waiting for them in a potential Game 7 in Justin Verlander, who made just one mistake in his first outing of the series that lead to a Napoli homer. Opposite him, Lackey had to muster one of the best performances of his career for Boston to hold on. Verlander may have had a sub-par regular season by his standards, but his stuff is the best in the game when it matters most.
In total, the Red Sox are hitting a miserable 6-50 (.120 BA), 2B, HR, 23K vs. Verlander and Scherzer. It's tough to believe they will keep that pace up, but it's also tough to believe either of these guys will implode with a chance to fight for their season.
So what does that mean? It means Boston's improved offense over the past two games has to continue back at home. Seeing a pitcher for the second time around will certainly help that, but the same can be said for Detroit's hitting as well. There are some key players to keep an eye on that need to have big games if Detroit wants to force a decisive Game 7.
Detroit has big guns both in their lineup and on the mound. Their issue thus far has been getting both to click in the same game on a consistent basis. If the Red Sox want a shot at the World Series, they have to get to Scherzer, and get to Scherzer early. Boston's offense has a knack for scoring in chunks. Nine times in the playoffs Boston has scored two or more runs in an inning. If the Red Sox can compile an inning where they put up a few runs and force Detroit to play from behind, that can put a tremendous amount of pressure on both Scherzer and their offense. In a win-or-go-home situation, falling behind early on the road can spell disaster.
I don't love Boston in either game, but I certainly will give the edge to them in Game 6. Relying on John Lackey to beat Justin Verlander again head-to-head in a Game 7 for a shot at the World Series scares the daylights out of me. A quality trait about Buchholz is he never implodes; the five earned runs he gave up in his last outing were the most all season, and Boston still was able to escape with the victory. Expect him to have a solid performance with Boston's offense continuing to stay solid.
If not, pray.

Liza's PCS at WTT was 52 so she has a new low. She needs a help with PCS. From Skating Skills to Choreography to Performance. Osmond bombed badly and got 58. Look how horribly Liza is doing in PCS when she singles a jump and falls. It's atrociously awful in every way. For a brief second I thought Mae Berenice Maite beat her in PCS but Liza beat Maite by a point. If you are only beating Meite by a point and you are euro bronze medalist and winner of many free skates like in Euros and GPF you need help. This is awful and if she doesn't radically change every single thing about how the presents herself and skates she will be nowhere. Even against Maiete who will outdo her. This is among the worst things in skating right now her talent being ruined by an obviously judge repelling presentation as to where judges may prefer Maite.
Osmond didn't bomb that badly. She fell on a downgraded 3t and doubled the flip. That was a lot better than her Worlds FS, where she fell on two jumps. Osmond took a hit on PCS because she didn't skate with her usual zest. Only two judges gave her 8s in PCS, and we can guess which country one of them represented.
Liza gets low PCS scores because of her poor ice coverage; she has to nail all her jumps to get some 7s. IMO, Liza has a stamina problem and that limits her ice coverage. At WTT, her skating had an unfortunate lumbering quality which also is going to affect her PCS.

We had a lovely stay in Vienna. This apartment was a great choice for access to public transport. It was also very quiet even though it overlooks a busy road. We had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
We had a great time.
The apartment is very well placed to visit this beautiful city.
It only lacks a microwave oven.
Perfect home, impeccable instructions.
Walter and Birgit are very friendly and very dedicated.
I stayed at Walter's Oct 08-15. I was quite satisfied with everything about the apartment. It was exactly as pictured in the website. A microwave in the kitchen would have been nice, but that is my only criticism. The apartment was very quiet in the main room. It couldn't be in a more ideal location. There are Würstel Stands on either side of the entrace to the building (including a Kebop available for € 2!), as well as a bakery. 3 grocery stores are within 5 minutes walking distance, and at the end of the street is the most excellent Caffee Latte, open 7 days a week from early to late, serving excellent food. Transportation? Directly across the street from the apartment is the Alser Straße stop for the Line 6 U-bahn, and at the corner is the #43 tram Between the two you have access to one of the finest city transit systems I've ever experienced. No where I wished to go was more than 15-20 minutes away. With the fine 7-day transit pass, the city is at your command. If this apartment is available the next time I travel to Wien, I shall book it with no hesitation!
Thanks for a great stay!
Everything was very nice. Kind and Helpful host. But not recommend for summer. Room was very hot and cannot open the window because of noise. But other seasons are no any problem.
we stayed at Vienna for 4 days: 4 wonderful delightful days. The appartment was clean, spacious, very well equipped. No ned to take towels, bedlinnen, it was al provided for.There was a coffee bar on the ground flour, and another one three houses below. We were right in the middle between St Stephansplatz and Schonbrunn, and 4 stops with the metro fron the Naschmarkt. On foot we reached Stephansplatz on 25 minutes sharp, while window shopping! Sonja and Roos
A very clean and well decorated apartment. Most fantastic transport links and very conveniently situated close to a few lovely restaurants, bars and an ice cream shop! Plenty of supermarkets near by and a bank/ATM making it a very easy place to stay. Incredibly comfortable bed!!! Lovely hosts, good no fuss system of getting/ returning keys. Will be coming back! :)
Sehr schöne große Wohnung direkt an der U-Bahn. Sehr freundlicher Empfang. Einziges Manko: das Bad ist quasi in der Küche und dies ohne Türe. Für Verliebte Top, für Geschäftsreisende vllt eher hinderlich.

Shelby County Public Schools is preparing to find out more this week about the scheduled repair work for Collins High School's multipurpose field.
The topic is sure to stay in the forefront as the Board of Education gets back on track with a full meeting Thursday, coincidentally at Collins.
Although the field is not on the agenda, the board and Superintendent James Neihof surely will have questions.

We could'nt have a better stay in Nice for this price. Perfect location with a short walk to everything. The apartment is cozy and has everything you need, and a nice balcony where we spent most of the time when we were in the flat. The wifi is very good, the bed is comfy. And of course the best of all is Ava who came and met us at the bus stop and helped us with everything we needed to know. Thank you so much!
I loved being in this studio located in the very center of Nice - just cross a couple of streets and you can find yourself in the middle of Place Masséna, not far from the sea, from the Old Town and from Rue Jean Médécin! Absolutely stunning if you want your holiday to be full of sunbathing on the beach and of crazy shopping in the most classy boutiques. Besides this, if you need to relax this studio will suit you as well. It's small and cozy, and you can find in it everything you could possibly need - otherwise, Ava will be pleased to help you. The building is very quiet and clean, and so is the studio. Absolutely recommended!
We had a very nice trip to Nice and a pleasant stay at Ava's apartment located
in the centre of the city. Thanks to Ava and France for a great vacation.
Very good combination of price vs quality + location + comfort so we're happy that we chose Ava's property for our 10 days vacation.
Ava is a very nice person, very friendly and welcoming.
Apartment is in a very central Nice, very good location (close to shops, beach, transport infrastructure such as tram, buses, railway station) and in the very good (clean, renovated) secured building.
All equipment you can only think about you need is present, so if you plan to cook on your own - it's also a good choice.
The only thing which can be improved - the bed carpet (it was old and with wholes). Anyway, it didnt spoil the impression about place and if I come back to Nice - I would love to contact Ava again.
With best regards, Yulia
Everything was just perfect. Good location in the mittle of Old Town, close to everything. The apartment was clean and very well equipped, with everything needed for daily life. Host; Ava very friendly and obliging.
We had a really great time in Nice. The appartment was very good: clean, well equipped and close to the beach, the old part of the city etc. Our host was very kind en helpful.
Great place to be!
Everything as described and even much more and better. Really very close to the beach, market, restaurants. Not once did we had to use public transport. You can visit the nearby Monaco, Cannes, Ventimiglia and others town - only 20-40 minutes by train. Excelent place!!!
Diese kleine gemütliche Wohnung, war genau das, was wir erwartet hatten. Sehr zentral und doch ,erstaunlicherweise, sehr ruhig. Wir möchten das hiermit weiter empfehlen, an die Gäste, welche viel von Land und Leute erleben wollen. Guter Anschluss, an das öffentliche Verkehrsnetz, 10 Minuten zum Meer und im Hetzen von Nizza
