Like most recent Samsung compacts the WB650's overall performance is very good. It starts up and is able to take a picture in less than three seconds, which is a creditable performance. In single-shot mode its shot-to-shot time is approximately 2.1 seconds, which is also quicker than average, especially for a big high-tech camera. In continuous shooting mode it can shoot at a consistent one frame per second apparently until the memory card is full. There is an audio cue to let you know when a picture is taken, but the monitor screen remains blank after the first shot, so tracking moving subjects is a bit of a guessing game.
The autofocus system is also very good, focusing quickly and accurately in all lighting conditions. Its low light performance is much better than some previous Samsung models, and will focus reliably in dim twilight. For lower light conditions the WB650 has an AF assist lamp with a range of about three metres.
One of the few problems with the otherwise excellent Panasonic TZ10 was its very poor battery life, especially when using the GPS system. Samsung must have noted this with some satisfaction, because the WB650 has no such drawback. It is powered by a chunky 1130mAh Lithium Ion battery with excellent duration, no doubt thanks in part to the lower power consumption of the AMOLED screen. I took the WB650 on holiday with me two weeks ago, charging it up before I left. I used the GPS function extensively and took around 200 shots, and even now the battery indicator is still showing two out of three bars. Samsung makes no specific claim for the number of shots on a single charge, but suffice it to say it's enough.
One problem area for Samsung in the past has been image quality, and sadly the WB650 also has some issues in this area. The problem is the massively heavy-handed image processing, which leaves images looking as though they have been blurred and then over-sharpened. Whether this is part of the noise reduction system or just general sharpening I'm not sure, but it does rob images of a lot of potential quality. It's pity, because the lens is very good, with very little optical distortion or chromatic aberration at any focal length, and the overall level of recorded detail is excellent. Colour reproduction is very good, and even dynamic range is better than average. Noise control is, to be fair, about average for the class. At lower ISO settings it's certainly not a patch on the superb low-ISO results of the TZ10, but at 400 ISO and higher there's really not much in it. If only Samsung could sort out its image processing, Panasonic and the other manufacturers would be in real trouble.
In many ways the Samsung WB650 is a better camera than the Panasonic TZ10. It has a better zoom range, a more accurate GPS system, a sharper monitor and crucially longer battery life. Build quality, design and handling are all excellent, but it can't quite match its rival on low ISO image quality.
This is a camera, right?
How can it be given an overall score of 9 when its score for image quality is 7? Does that mean the other issues over and above it primary purpose makes it somewhat better.
I don't see how a camera with 7 for image quality is better than another with suitable but less features should get a higher rating than another camera with 9 for image quality but less features.
Features are a factor but they are not what I would buy a camera for.
Darn! Why can't compact superzooms like this one sport a peep-through viewfinder? Even given the shortcomings noted in this review, I would have bought this camera if it had a viewfinder.
a medium format camera will doubtless have better image quality, if it gets the shot. Sometimes getting the shot is a function of the camera features, like zoom range, or pocketability. Getting the shot is the ultimate arbiter of image quality - no shot = zero quality. I'd give a camera extra points for features which translate into getting the shot.
I like the "GPS - For Digital Nomad" - highly amusing!
I'd consider buying this when the price drops. Although the images look a bit like an oil painted up close, thanks to the processing, I think the overall lens quality, colour reproduction and DR outweigh this. I tend to keep most of my point & shoot photos 'as shot' anyway, so this wouldn't be an issue for me. Maybe they'll release a firmware update to improve this, but its Samsung, so I wouldn't hold my breath!
@ Fiqqer, Martin & Chris... I'm looking for a high quality point & shoot/travel camera in the £200 arena. As soon as I saw the 7/10 for image quality I immediately dismissed this camera, it could be voice controlled, have artificial intelligence, run battery free and double up as an emergency phone.. I still wouldn't buy it. Sorry Cliff.
Totally agree with Fiqquer...how on earth can a camera that has 7/10 for image quality get a 9/10 score? If the images are no good then neither is the camera.
really depend. my family hardly print any photo. and if we do, most are just 5*7. for this size, really does not matter. and we most only view photo and share with people on computer. we hardly post photo online using any size bigger than 2 or 3mp.
so that is the point. now we are judge it by its full size. but we should always ask ourself that in pratical do we need full size photo?
at least for many people they do not need at all.
When are manufacturers going to give us the option in pocket cameras of taking photos in RAW? Then we won't be dependent on their clunky in-camera processing and, given the availabilty of reasonably priced software like Photoshop Elements, the user can do his or her own processing in RAW and then save as jpeg (or whatever) as needed. In camera storage limitations are no longer an issue with huge capacity SD cards available so why insist on creating jpeg in the camera?
I have been using this camera ( WB 660, Malaysia ) for 2 months now and find it very competent and easy to use. I have no issues with the image quality as I shoot mostly in daylight. The 15X zoom & HD video are superior to the TZ7 which I had previously. It is a much better camera than TZ7 tho I have not compared it to the TZ10
I have created an account just so I can comment on this thread.
Have just posted the WB650 back to the seller for a refund.
In short this camera is the DB's and much more, in reality the photos are CRAP.Some photos turn out OK but most resemble blotchy oil paintings.
A great shame as I would have liked this camera to have worked at taking great photos but it does not. The rest of the Camera functions are brill, but what is the point of brill add ons when the image quality is crap?
Just to say some photos have come out OK , so why not a mode where the image destruction can be switched off?
This is a follow up from my previous comments as I wish to be fair to both Cliff's review and the Samsung technicians.
I returned WB650 then tried a host of other compact zooms and not one of them produced a better IQ. WB650 Geo tagging and mapping leads the pack, as does the build quality. Obtained another WB650 and actually read the manual (pdf file) then got excellent results.
Am now keeping this cam as an easy to carry anywhere backup to my millstone DSLR.
In short, the point score by Cliff of 9 out of 10 is spot on and the Samsung team have done a great job. I got it wrong 1st time, this is a great camera.
david,how much did samsung pay you,thats a big backtrack,i've got this camera and as has previously been said whats the point of a camera if the image quality is poor..and it is!!! my sony compact is far superior despite it lacking on a few features which are hardly used anyway..no offence intended..just my thoughts.
Yeah, no offence meant, just my thoughts, but... accusing some-one of being corrupt IS offensive. And the inference from "How can a camera be given an overall score of 9 when its score for image quality is 7?" is that a camera with an image quality of 10 is perfect for a taking on vacation - even if it's the size of a house. Why bother with the other qualities of size, ease of use etc that determine a customer's choice if "image quality" is the only consideration? The quality of these tiny cameras is incredible. I have a TZ5 and will probably upgrade to a WB650 rather than a TZ10 now that Panasonic forbid 3rd party batteries. Yes, I would like to see lower resolution sensors with bigger more sensitive pixels, and the option to switch off in-camera image massaging, but apparently that's what the customer wants. We can't really blame the manufacturer for that.

Fashion Design Management - 1st Level Master Degree
Entry requirements:
This Masters programme seeks to recruit students with an Honours degree (three-year degree) in economics, design and fashion.
Methodology and structure:
The Master offers a path of experience, research and projects, combining a teaching methodology rich in theory and technique with the practical contribution of companies and practitioners that support the student at all stages of training and testing.
The course covers three main key areas: the history of fashion and applied arts, fashion design and production, marketing and communication strategies, with an increasing level of complexity. Evaluation of results is based on their consistency with the objectives and on the social, cultural, ethical and economic impact towards stakeholders and the reference system, even on a long-term basis, in relation to contemporary trends of taste, style and market.
In addition to the experimental stage that introduce students to the development of creative ideas and knowledge of the technical and technological tools useful for their representation and realization, the course covers all the aspects related to the history of fashion, applied arts, design and different features of contemporary creative expression.
Laboratory activities and innovative project teaching methodology related to the design and production (from the formulation of an idea of fashion products to its formal, functional, ethical, social evaluation) involve students through individual or group projects, workshops, tutorials, case studies, use of simulative techniques and role playing. The workshops are followed by distinguished designers, ambassadors of excellence in the fashion industry.
After examining the main types of fashion product, from accessories to dress, in all their expressions, students will investigate all the aspects of the industrial production such as phases, time, materials, resources, economic factors of the whole implementation process, even retailing and visual merchandising.
The trends of global markets in the fashion industry and the different business models have now reached revered status throughout design management, marketing strategies and communication. The purpose of this course is to introduce students to business strategies, analysis of different types of consumer – that is today both final receiver and business partner - its taste and its evolving needs. The impact of the brand on the target audience and the different aspects of traditional communication and web based fashion collections on the market will be examined, evaluating new tools and perspectives, such as the environmental impact.
The postgraduate course culminates in a dissertation, a final project aimed at checking the skills acquired by the students during the Masters programme. This project involves the launch of a new product or a new collection, where the students highlight the processes and define communication, image and style strategies.
The course is recognised by MIUR (Ministry for Education, University and Research) as an Academic Master Level I.
This school offers programs in:

Marcia Klopf Alumni Profiles
St Louis Missouri
What is your current job and how did your planning degree prepare you for it?
I work as a Junior Planner/Designer with Winter & Company, a historic preservation and urban design consulting firm in Colorado. During graduate school, I took as many historic preservation and design-oriented courses as I could, focusing on the built environment and how we can preserve the resources we do have while creating design-sensitive solutions for new construction. I also worked as a Research Assistant with Extension and the City of Washington, IL to create design guidelines and a resource manual for the local historic district. During the summer between my two years in the program, I also had the opportunity to work as the Preservation Planner for Madison, IN.
Why did you choose to study urban planning?
I chose to study urban planning because I've always loved historic architecture and design. For a long time, I thought I would become an architect; however, during my undergraduate studies, I realized that I was interested not in the specifics of a building and its construction, but in how people use and relate to the built environment. The intersection of the built environment and social interaction, among many other topics covered by urban planning, was what really drew me towards planning.
What advice would you share with someone who is considering a career in urban planning?
My advice to those interested in urban planning or those starting out in the planning field would be to meet and engage with as many planners as possible. The field of urban planning encompasses so many topics that there are planners in all types of jobs. Talking with as many planners as possible will give you the opportunity to figure out what type of job you might be interested in as well as what type of planning interests you most. This will also help build your network of contacts, which is always important when transitioning from an academic to professional environment.

Local Root Exploit in Udev
The udev subsystem allows the Linux kernel, together with a userland program, to manage device nodes dynamically, adding and removing them at will. It has now been revealed that the communication channel between the kernel and program fails to authenticate, so that users can assume root privileges.
The udev subsystem and the udevd daemon communicate in userspace over the netlink interface. Sending KOBJECT_UEVENT messages unfortunately doesn't verify who sent them. The result is that normal users can assume read privileges for a random device. If the device has a major and minor number of the root block device, invasive code can be applied to alter the system. A root exploit could then be quite simple for an attacker.
The root exploit was discovered by Sebastian Krahmer of the SUSE Security Team, which had become apprised of the CVE-2009-1185 spoofing exposure. The udev "trickery" exploit also points to another vulnerability in the CVE-2009-1186 stack buffer overflow exposure. Unfortunately, MITRE has not released further details on these vulnerabilities. All larger Linux distros have openly declared to be affected by them, so the distros are now providing updated packages.

Eversheds hire ramps up corporate crime group" />Eversheds has taken on a partner from Orchard, joining the growing throng of firms strengthening their corporate crime capabilities.
Fraud partner Gerallt Owen is joining the firm to bolster its criminal cartels and other corporate crime expertise.
The move is part of a trend that, over the past 18 months, has seen law firms bring partners with criminal experience in-house, or consolidating alliances with independent corporate crime practices.
Last year, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer launched a corporate crime panel of four leading white collar criminal practices. At the same time, Herbert Smith and DLA recruited partners and lawyers from regulatory agencies, including the Financial Services Authority (FSA) and the Competition Commission.
Owen will provide criminal expertise for Eversheds' existing inquiries and investigations unit and for various other departments which deal with regulators, such as the FSA, the Health and Safety Executive and the Inland Revenue.
Crucially, his experience in fraud and criminal cartel work will also plug a hole in the firm's London practice.
Eversheds' Cardiff head of litigation Jonathan Richards said: "What Gerallt brings is a different dimension to our existing practice."
Criminal experience is becoming more important in cartel investigations following the introduction of the Enterprise Act last year, which brought in criminal sanctions for directors involved in cartels.
It is unclear what will happen to Owen's legal aid fraud practice. Increasingly, company directors are covered by legal insurance, but a significant number of defendants are still being provided with legal aid.
Richards said: "Our existing practice is not run on legal aid. This would have to be dealt with on a case-by-case basis as it arises."

Rock and Roll Bar
Yes, it's that time of year again. The Grand Prix comes to Long Beach, delighting race-loving tourists and enraging locals who have to endure the noise of the obscenely powerful engines all day long. But hey, criticizing this kind of spectacle seems almost un-American, and watching the endlessly circling cars can put one in a healthy meditative state. But those who hate the race can catch some pretty compelling pop en español , courtesy of Mexican performer Aleks Syntek. The music is skillfully crafted pop (think Central American Idol . . . but a little more interesting, and about 20 years older) that should encourage plenty of race moms high off exhaust fumes to shake their tailpipes.

Chocolate Yeast Loaf
Whole Grain Recipe
Bread flour is the base grain of this rich yeast bread with cocoa and coffee powder giving it sweet decadence while walnuts and raisins add even more nutritious goodness.
Recipe Ingredients
1/4 cup warm water
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar
1 package yeast
1 cup milk
2 tablespoons butter, cut in pieces
4 cups bread flour
1 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoons instant coffee powder
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup chopped black walnuts
1/2 cup raisins, seedless
Recipe Directions
Mix the water and 1 tablespoon sugar in mixing cup. Add yeast and stir slightly. Set aside for 10 minutes until foamy.
Warm the milk and butter in a saucepan to about 110 degrees (butter will not melt completely).
In a large mixing bowl, combine 3-3/4 cups flour, salt, cocoa, coffee and the remaining 1/2 cup sugar. Blend well.
Beat eggs slightly and add the warm milk, butter and vanilla; blend. Add this mixture along with the yeast mixture to the flour. Stir in the walnuts and raisins. Mix all with a mixer with dough hook, or by hand with a wooden spoon.
Turn onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 5 to 6 minutes until smooth and elastic. Or continue mixing in the mixer and knead only 2 minutes or so. Add more flour if necessary.
Grease a large bowl and place the dough into it, turning to grease all sides. Cover and let rise in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 2 hours.
Knead the dough a few times, cover with plastic wrap and let rest for few minutes. Roll the dough into a large oval shape and roll up like a jelly roll, placing the seam side down. Roll from the narrow end to make it fit into the pan size you prefer. Use a loaf pan or a round casserole type pan. Butter a piece of plastic wrap and place loosely over the dough. Let rise again until doubled in size; about 1-1/2 hours.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and place bread near the center of the oven, not too high. Bake for 25 minutes, then cover loosely with foil and continue baking 30 to 40 minutes longer.
Let cool for 10 minutes, then remove Chocolate Yeast Loaf from pan and finish cooling on wire rack. Serve with butter and honey for a real treat.

Leslie Bethell
Leslie Michael Bethell[1] (born 12 February 1937) is an English historian, university professor, and Brazilianist who specialises in the study of 19th- and 20th-century Latin America, focusing on Brazil in particular.[2] He received both his Bachelor of Arts and Doctorate in History at the University of London.[1] Bethell has served as Visiting Professor at the University Research Institute of Rio de Janeiro at the Universidade Cândido Mendes, the University of California, San Diego, and at the University of Chicago.[2] He has been associated with the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars, most recently being appointed Senior Scholar of their Brazil Institute, since 1987.[2] He was the founding director of the Centre for Brazilian Studies at the University of Oxford, serving in that capacity from 1998 to 2007.[3] He has also held lengthy academic posts at St Antony's College (as a Fellow)[1] and at his alma mater, the University of London (as Director of the Institute of Latin American Studies and an Honorary Research Fellow).[2][4]
He is the sole editor of the eleven volume Cambridge History of Latin America, a massive attempt at compiling and integrating the existing scholarship of Latin American studies.[5] The entire project took more than fifteen years to be completed.[6] The work was praised widely, with the historian Paul Gootenberg noting that the series had "earned rave scholarly reviews throughout the 1990s".[7] The Library Journal referred to the first two volumes of the series as "the most detailed, comprehensive, and authoritative work on the subject available",[8] while the political scientist Paul W. Drake called various volumes in the set "landmark[s] in their field."[9] Reviews were not completely positive, however, with some of the volumes being described as "unwieldy"[10] and skewed too much to the present age.[11] Alternately, the series has also been criticised for its lack of coverage of issues whose impacts have extended into contemporary times and of the trends that had been emerging in Latin America around the time of its various publication dates.[12][13][14]
Bethell was elected a sócio correspondente of the Brazilian Academy of Letters in 2010.[15] He was nominated to fill the vacancy left by the death of the Portuguese author José Saramago, and was only the second English person to have been elected to the position, after the philosopher Herbert Spencer.[3] Bethell was also elected as a correspondent to the Brazilian Academy of Sciences in 2004.[16]

Comments about Beck/Arnley Temperature Sensor:
I didn't read the temperature properly when the coolant was cold and therefore the computer didn't out put enough fuel to immediately start the engine, this caused start up hesitation, upon warm up of coolant, it functioned as it should have.
This issue was resolved using a used OEM coolant temperature sensor from the junkyard...

Q:Own 1989 toyota Camry .The fun runs at start up and runs constantly.I have been alternating removing fuse from fan #1 and fan #2 so that the fans dont burn out.The vehicle otherwise runs well. Will changing this part solve the problem? Or do I need to change the larger sensor to the right of it ? 3sfe engine
1 answer
A:With reference to your inquiry on the Beck/Arnley Temperature Sensor - part# 158-0421, the coolant temperature sensor may be the possible cause of the problem. However, I would suggest taking your vehicle to a certified mechanic for a proper diagnosis before buying and having parts installed that may not (solve/be) the problem. For any further assistance, please feel free to call us at: 1-877-238-2623 or visit the nearest Advance Auto Parts store and one of our Parts Pros will gladly assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.
Q:On a 1990 Toyota Camry 3SFE 2.0 liter model, there are 2 sensors on the water outlet. Do you know if there are two different ones or are they the same temp sensor doing two different things: I assume one sensor controls the fan and from the description of this product it controls the fuel/air mix.
1 answer
A:One should send information to the computer on the temperature of the coolant and I believe the other is the sensor which tells the computer when to turn on the cooling fan.
Q:where is this sensor located
2 answers
A:For further assistance, please provide the year, make, model and engine size of the vehicle in question.
A:This is the EFI coolant sensor. Viewed from the front of the engine, it is about 1 inch to the left of the main temperature sensor that has a green body. Both of these sensors are side by side on the driver side of the engine.
Q:What sensor is this? coolant temp? air temp?
1 answer
A:This is a coolant temperature sensor.

Finding the Fits: Don't overlook rookie Charles Sims in Tampa Bay
This article is one of a 32-part series in which the goal is to identify one relatively unheralded player selected in the 2014 NFL Draft who appears to be an especially good schematic fit with his new NFL team.
This article is one of a series called Finding the Fits in which NFLDraftScout.com will review some of the more intriguing picks made during the 2014 NFL Draft. The goal of the series is to identify one relatively unheralded player per team who appears to be a good schematic fit and, therefore, more likely to be a surprise contributor early in his pro career.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers' best fit: RB Charles Sims, West Virginia
Given Doug Martin's presence -- and talented youngsters Mike James and Bobby Rainey, as well -- the selection of Sims in the third round probably caught most Bucs' fans off-guard.
This was a club, after all, that allowed 47 sacks a year ago, tied for fifth worst in the NFL. Though improvements were made via free agency along the offensive line (Anthony Collins) and at quarterback (Josh McCown), Tampa was thought likely to invest another early round pick on either (or both) positions. Instead, head coach Lovie Smith and general manager Jason Licht invested their first two picks on wideout Mike Evans and tight end Austin Seferian-Jenkins. Sims made it three skill position players in a row to start off the Bucs' 2014 draft. Folks in Tampa were likely thinking isn't this the same coach who earned a reputation in Chicago for the Bears' vanilla offense?
Of course, it is the same Smith and in Sims, he might see a similar back as the star he left in Chicago, Matt Forte.
Like the Bears' two-time Pro Bowler, Sims possesses impressive burst on a high-cut frame that often deceives would-be tacklers. He's also a terrific receiver, whose hand-eye coordination, body control and soft mitts stood out in West Virginia's upset over Oklahoma State last year.
It is a combination of traits that fits in very well with the attack that new offensive coordinator Jeff Tedford utilized while at Cal. While Tedford is often cited for his work with quarterbacks, under his leadership the Bears became a virtual running back factory, sending six backs into the NFL from 2004-2011, including four top 56 picks -- Marshawn Lynch (No. 12, 2007), Jahvid Best (No 30, 2010), J.J. Arrington (No. 44, 2005) and Shane Vereen (No. 56, 2011). Each year Tedford utilized his backs as receivers out of the backfield, with these four averaging 26 receptions during their starting seasons at Berkeley.
The big pass-catchers in Tampa can certainly generate big plays, and they'll get the big hype before, during and after the season. Big receivers, though, need time to get downfield. With some still concerned with Tampa's ability to pass block, the Bucs' backs should be in position to catch lots of passes in Tedford's offense.
Don't be surprised when Sims, who caught an eye-popping 203 passes during his career at West Virginia (and previously at Houston), winds up emerging as an immediate complementary threat in this offense and eventually considered a steal for the new brain trust in Tampa.
Other thoughts on the Buccaneers' 2014 draft class:
- It remains to be seen if the 35-year old McCown can be as successful in Tedford's scheme as he was in eight games last year for Marc Trestman and the Bears. McCown (and Tedford) certainly have the pass-catchers to be successful with Evans, Seferian-Jenkins, Sims and speedy Robert Herron added to a squad already boasting Vincent Jackson. At 6-foot-5, 231 pounds, Evans has a gliding gait that allows him to slip past defenders in much the same way as Jackson. Evans, however, is a significantly more physical player, who seems to enjoy the hand-to-hand combat that is becoming increasingly common in the NFL with teams playing so much press coverage. Seferian-Jenkins would do well to take some of his new teammate's aggression as he's not the consistently dominant force that his 6-foot-6, 262 pounds might indicate. He's possesses extraordinary body control for a man of his size, however, routinely making the tough grab look easy during his collegiate career. The surprise foot injury (and resulting surgery) which derailed his Combine and Pro Day workouts is over. The 5-foot-09, 193 pound Herron may not sound as imposing as the giants surrounding him on the roster but he's agile, accelerates very quickly and is tough. Evans, Seferian-Jenkins, Sims and Herron give the Bucs an exciting young pass-catcher nucleus to help McCown, second-year pro Mike Glennon or perhaps to help ease in a new quarterback selected a year (or two) from now.
- Given a year or two to acclimate to the speed and power of the NFL, Tampa's pair of fifth round offensive linemen - Kadeem Edwards and Kevin Pamphile - could certainly wind up earning their selections as each possess the size and athleticism to warrant development. Neither, however, looks ready to step in and contribute as rookies, which means that it is veterans or bust for the Bucs along the offensive line, right? Not necessarily. Matt Patchan may have struggled with durability and other derailments during his time with the Gators but the promise that made him such a highly celebrated prep signing for Urban Meyer back in 2008 finally came to fruition with his transfer to Boston College in 2013. Patchan, who moved to BC to play under former Florida offensive assistant Steve Addazio, has terrific initial quickness and played with the nastiness last season to project inside to guard for some clubs. He's at least as gifted as Edwards and Pamphile and comes in with a better understanding of what it takes to be successful in the NFL given that his father, David, starred at tackle for the University of Miami and was selected in the third round of the 1988 draft by the Philadelphia Eagles. Given his pedigree and press, the former Prep All-American hardly qualifies as your typical Diamond in the Rough. But if you're looking for a rookie to surprise along Tampa's offensive line this season, it could be Patchan, a Tampa native, and not the two blockers drafted ahead of him.
Tampa Bay's 2014 draft class:
1st Round -- No. 7 overall - WR Mike Evans, Texas A&M
2nd Round -- No. 38 overall - TE Austin Seferian-Jenkins, Washington
3rd Round - No. 69 overall - RB Charles Sims, West Virginia

Choices = Disruption
What must companies do today to generate billions of dollars in revenue, create thousands of jobs, reward investors and sustain the environment —Survive? They have to think about it. They have to make new choices. They have to think outside the box, they have to think in new boxes. They must reframe both their personal and corporate mental & business models. They have to be able to Innovate and Re-Innovate.
- Cell phones weren't introduced by AT& T
- Online mapping was not introduced by Rand McNally
- Overnight package delivery wasn't introduced by the U.S. Postal Service
- Diet and caffeine-free soft drinks weren't introduced by Coke
There is a significant lost opportunity and cost inflicted on companies if their management teams are mired in the status quo, teams that don't or can't tackle the hard work of Innovation and Re-Innovation. Continue reading

A Mermaid
"A mermaid!" you command, not really sure what you're asking. The wish-genie-thing can't summon people – or...uh, beings – from nowhere can, it?
There is a splash, a wave of coldness across your chest, and upon prising your eyes open, you are faced with the womanly shape of a half-fish, half-human lady. You glance down her slender speckled legs. Yup, a tail.
She tosses said tail into the air, tossing more droplets of water over you. You splutter. Urg. Where are her manners?
Wiping the seawater, as stingy as it is, from your eyes, you fully scan the mermaid who's appeared on your desk.
Her giggle is the windchimes in the west of the country; her hair is as if seaweed swam to an underwater stylist. Her eyes are muted, changing like, yes, various colours of the oceans as the sun creeps its way across the sky above it.
Taking this in, you swallow, and wave a bit in her direction.
"Hi. Uh, sorry."
"What for?" she asks, wrapping her fingers through her hair.
"Random apparition...?" you suggest.
The mermaid grins. Something like camaraderie flitters between the two of you, and you scan her face. It's an epitome of innocence, but something lies beyond that smile—something sharp and something that makes your chest compress.
If only there were a way to test her. To test her loyalty and…not-deathliness. It's offered to you in an instant. The smile fades, contorting like some sort of Disney seahag face. She starts coughing – a sound which is even as ocean-soft as the rest of her.
"What's wrong?" you ask, pouncing over the desk to her.
"Need...water..." she says through splutters.
Okay. She is a mermaid. Makes sense.

After several days the Tennessee native seems to have done just that drawing one Scout analyst to describe his speed and scoring ability from the point guard position as "Iverson-like". On Saturday night, the evaluation of his performance read as such from Scout's Evan Daniels:
Jackson's speed is one of the many attributes that separates him from the other floor generals in the class. End to end there aren't many guys in the country that can compete with him. But to go with his speed, he's a high level athlete and has developed a mid-range game full of floaters and pull-up jumpers. Jackson is fearless as well and he showed that when he went to the rim in the half court set and threw down a nasty jam on Justin Coleman.
"I'm the type of player that always comes out and tries to play my best," said Jackson after his performance. "When I get to play against guys like Ray McCallum and others, it brings out the best in me as a player and I really enjoy the competition. It's always fun playing against talented opponents."
But maybe not as fun for his opponents who may have visions of Allen Iverson as Jackson continually blows by and attacks the rim. It's a comparison that Jackson appreciates.
"Growing up I was more of an NBA guy and I still watch a lot of NBA games - especially when Iverson is playing. I see myself as a scoring point guard like him and there's a lot of schools that like that and play my style."
Which is why Jackson has tuned the dial a bit more during the winter months to incorporate the college game.
"Lately I've watched more college games. I watch the ACC, the Pac 10, and the SEC mainly. I look to see how teams are using their guards. Off the top of my head I like how places such as Memphis, Miami, Connecticut, Duke, Tennessee, Syracuse, and Kentucky use their guards. All of them have their own styles, but all of them are good and it's something I look at."
Being the highest rated prospect in the state of Tennessee, Jackson is, of course, being linked to schools such as Memphis and Tennessee - which is one of the better regional rivalries around. However, despite his close proximity, he's not choosing sides in that one.
"People always assume that because I live around the corner from Memphis that I'm for them. But I've got a great deal of respect for Tennessee and Coach Pearl. Those programs have had some great battles over the years."
One program in particular with strong Memphis relations, the Kentucky Wildcats and former Tigers' coach John Calapari, have been working hard on Jackson as a potential solution for the class of 2010. However, the recent happenings with the Wildcat roster and recruiting strategy haven't gone un-noticed.
"It was really difficult when Coach Calapari left for Kentucky. I was going over there all the time and playing pick-up with the guys and just getting to know the program really well. Now that he's gone, it's a new situation with Coach Pastner, but I think they are still going to be good. Just different."
"In terms of Kentucky, I'm not really sure. A lot of people assumed that I was going to go to Memphis when he was there because of how close I was and then when he went to Kentucky that I'd follow him there. To be honest there are a lot of guys at Kentucky in terms of playing time and when I recently heard they are recruiting Brandon Knight as the number one option for the point guard spot in my class, I'm have second thoughts about Kentucky and Coach Calapari."
One program who Jackson isn't as familiar with, but who has recently started communicating is Duke, who has well documented needs at the point guard position for the class of 2010. Recently the Blue Devils have had some success recruiting in the Volunteer state with the commitment of Elliot Williams - something that may have helped them with Jackson in the early stages.
"Elliot's my dude for sure. Ever since he went to Duke he's been talking with me about Duke and letting me know what it's like. As far leaving home to go to a place like that - it's not a big deal for me. My main thing with wherever I go is to know that I'll be able to earn some playing time and I want a chance to compete for a championship."
"I have to admit, it's really exciting when Duke starts recruiting you. I realize that they are looking for a really good point guard out my class which is appealing to me. They haven't sent too much mail at this point, but they have been talking with me and my coach on the phone. They are just telling me they want a nice point guard in this class and they are recruiting me, Brandon Knight, Kyrie Irving, and Ray McCallum for that spot. I feel like I could do some really good things for them as a player. Some people think it's surprising that I am considering Duke because some say they are set at the point guard spot, but they want another one and I am good with that."
One thing the Blue Devils have been able to do in the early stages is establish a rapport with Jackson, while making no bones about their intentions in the class. The fact that the Durham based coaching staff and others have made it clear of their intentions is something Jackson appreciates, but something he doesn't believe is a universal approach among his potential suitors.
"To be honest it was a bit surprising when I heard that Kentucky is recruiting Brandon very hard and they are wanting to get the number one point guard prospect in the class again - like they did with John Wall. I'm OK with it, but to not really hear it from them but from someone else....I don't know, it's just a different approach I guess. With Duke and others I feel like I know exactly where I stand with them."
Varying approaches are likely to continue for Jackson as he continues through the summer AAU schedule and begins setting up a stable of visits to the various schools on his list. With so many club ball events lined up, he doesn't expect a decision to come before the fall, though he is hoping to sign in the early signing period.
"I would like to take my full amount of unofficial and official visits if I can. Some of the programs I want to visit are Tennessee, Kentucky, Syracuse, Duke, Texas, Villanova, Connecticut, as well as some others."
Interview conducted by Steve Clark at the 2009 NBAPA Camp

For you aloneMature
Thus a word spoken out of turn makes you sad ?
Is every single feeling we once had forever more existent in my memories than sweet reality ?Where do you end and I beguin?
In the reality that makes us walk this land,I have yet to discover a body so well in tune with mine.But,for what is required today being in tune is not a priority on my list.
To absent friends and fellow bed friends I raise my glass and search for the next victim.That is until my eyes rest on him.
He seats alone not really touching his drink or even attempting to make an effort to pretent he is listenning to this beautiful girl trying to make herself available to him tonight.It is clear his mind is nowhere near this place of lost souls.
She sighs and redirects her steps.
"Hey,honey."His eyes lift up and clear of the sheer misery there in recognisation of who had just arrived.
A friend at last."Cass.What brought you here?"
"A cab.You ?"She said picking up his glass and taking a zip.Beer of course,the big idiot!
"Funny.A cab?I didn`t want to be alone tonight."His face said it all really,not that she was waiting for another answer,her friend had been for lack of a better word to dercribe him ,moody lately.In fact one could say he had been miserable for quite some time.
But,tonight she refuse to see him drown his sorrow in liquor once again or in strangers bodies.
"Come and dance with me,please?"The tune slow down to allow couples to close the deal for the night,the hour was late and most of them where drunk enough not to really look in the face of their partners of choice,what was really a good thing considering some faces...
He lift himself."Excuse me ,laddies?"And made his way with her to the dance floor.His frame so much bigger than hers and yet they moved as one,fluent in each other movements like a dance of wits of some sort.They were friends first,lovers second...
"Planning on taking any of them home with you tonight ?Is it that bad?"She asks.
"Maybe.It thus prevent me to keep asking the same question over and over again in my head.And it is a diversion of some sort,sometimes even a good one."But he knew the real question she had just asked,she was concern and it showed.He had been a bit lost lately,maybe the only light that really shown in his life lately had been her?!...
He rested his head on top of hers,and danced in silence.
"Don`t.Be with me instead?"Her eyes keept his prisoner in the moment."Ok,i will come with you."
They resume dancing...

If the name Alexandru Ceachir doesn't ring a bell, don't be surprised. Unlike many junior college players the 6-foot-5, 300-pound offensive lineman from Santa Monica College doesn't have a storied high school career and wasn't ranked in the ESPNU 150 when he graduated in 2009.
The man better known as "Cheech" just took up the sport a couple of years ago when he came to America from Moldova, a country located between Romania and the Ukraine.
Now he has several FBS offers in hand and could be one of the most coveted juco offensive linemen by the end of the month.
