We've rounded up the most common questions and comments that come through our inbox and done our best to answer them as thoroughly as we can.
You may want to know something different like, "Are lobsters ambidextrous?" or "Do penguins have knees?". If these are the things that keep you up at night, we're afraid we're not too much help.
But if you have a question about web design, social media or how to mix a great cocktail, please feel free to drop us a line. We'll respond as quickly as possible.
We pride ourselves on taking care of our clients. We provide consultation, creative design, development of HTML/CSS markup, custom programming, social media integration, a how-to guide and up to 2 weeks of free support post site launch, not to mention over 10 years of proven expertise. If you need custom illustration and need help selecting or finding an illustrator, we can arrange that, as well.
It's tricky for us to give you a ballpark without some indication of what your expectations are, but we've put together some of our most commonly requested projects below to give you an idea of what to anticipate:
If you provide us with important details about what you want from your website, such as what the site is for, how much content and what type, if you need a logo, etc., then we can provide you with a detailed estimate for your individual project… with pleasure!
If you're interested, please contact us for a free estimate and you're on your way.
This depends on the project. Each website is unique and may require more or less time to build.
Factors such as how quickly you communicate with your designer about design decisions and how well you express your wishes can influence the final timeline. Building a site is an exact process, so once your design is finalized, the site still needs to be coded, implemented and tested.
This process can take anywhere from 4 weeks to 3 months depending on the size of the site and the full scope of the project.
While we'd love to take your project right this very minute, well… we're often busy, truth be told. But don't worry, busy designers are a good sign! We can usually work together to come up with a mutually agreeable timeline. In the meantime, pretend it's the line outside Studio 54. Just, you know, without Bianca Jagger and the half-naked guys in gold spandex. Contact us to get the velvet rope treatment!
Absolutely! In fact, that's our main goal — easy to manage websites. There are many content management tools available today that can enhance your site and provide an easy way to maintain updates, both to your blog and the website itself. We love Expression Engine, but we will ultimately choose the tool that suits the needs of your project, be it Expression Engine, Wordpress or something else entirely. The point is, you'll be large and in charge.
The design process is what goes down from the time you accept our proposal and send us to your deposit until your site is live and blinding everyone on the internet with its awesomeness.
Consultation and Preliminary Discussion Phase
Creative and Revision Phase
Development and Implementation Phase
Soft Launch
Official Launch
Post Launch Support
While that sounds delightful and we could really go for a salad, unless you're in Atlanta, GA or San Diego, CA, chances are slim that we will be canoodling over breadsticks at the local Olive Garden.
But, never fear! We're quite skilled with email. We also use a great online project manager called Basecamp that allows all of us to centrally discuss your project. You can upload files, post comments, share ideas and we'll also post milestones and to-do list action-items. A few notes back and forth and we'll have your new site live in two shakes.
Sure thing! We have our phone numbers listed on our contact page, but due to the creative nature of our business and the focus required to do our jobs, we prefer to set up phone meetings by appointment only.
You are always welcome to call during or after business hours, but you will most likely receive our voicemail unless it indicates on our contact page that we are available for open calls. Please leave a message with your name, phone number, email address and if you like, a brief overview on your project. We'll usually return your call by the next business day.
Ok, so it's not really a magazine. It's barely even a newsletter. "Low-volume" is an understatement. We save the mailing list for the really exclusive stuff or the really BIG stuff. So, you can feel confident signing up without fear of us flooding your inbox.
But if mailing lists don't blow your dress up, you can catch us on Twitter, Facebook or find us on Instagram.
We are small, but mighty! We take limited projects per quarter.
Joelle is available for projects starting December 2016 and beyond.
Kathy is on hiatus and no longer accepting projects.

Hi y'all. I'm Katie. My 5 year old Connor, has a severe brain malformation and has uncontrollable seizures. He has numerous myoclonics, a tonics, and absence everyday. He has regressed very much developmentally in the past few years. he is currently on keppra, topamax, vimpat, and onfi. I'd love to hear any and all stories of parents in similar situations. Thank you!!!
Re: New here....parent to child with uncontrollable seizures.
Poor kid poor you, well i may get flammed for saying this but here goes, my Neuro the visit before last did say to me that if you have a seizure on a medication then that medication is no good, Vimpat is still on trial and they give a 5 year old it no no no, goodluck and watch your boys diet
Re: New here....parent to child with uncontrollable seizures.
Hi katie. Have you investigated a ketogenic diet. A lot of work but may be the answer. Also, just curious what is his brain malformation called. If you don't mind me asking.
dad to sam (age 11)
left temp epilepsy
retro flexed odontoid
chiari malformation
Re: New here....parent to child with uncontrollable seizures.
Katie, I have an 8 year old boy with uncontrollable seizures - 4 meds and he still has seizures everyday. We tried the keto diet, helped some but caused other problems. He is no longer on the diet. All I can tell you is to love him and treat him like any other child. He is going to have seizures but don't let that stop your life and his life. Send him to school, take him on trips, go out to dinner. I promise you that type of therapy helps. You will see!
Best wishes and God bless.

Teacher presents
Today we made a start on teacher presents, courtesy of Lina's lovely candle tutorial. I nearly burned my fingers off with the hair drier (and it overheated and cut out at one point) so how glad am I that I don't have a heat gun to hurt myself with?
I'll need to warn them about the tissue paper before they burn them into a small inferno, but my experience of pillar candles is that the outsides don't tend to burn anyway so hopefully they'll be OK!
21 comments:
They are lovely! I've never had a pillar candle that's burned on the outside either - the outer bit just holds the pool of the melted wax, doesn't it?ReplyDelete
So sorry to hear about the ongoing connection problems :-( You must be heartily sick of it by now.
What a beautiful gift for the teachers..and gorgeous designs! esp love that reindeer :DReplyDelete
Hmmmmm... methinks someone has been hiding a clever artist at their house.....ReplyDelete
If you are at all worried about the potential for wildfire breaking out you could include a note explaining that once the first 2/3 of inch of candle burns down then a tealight should fit nicely into the well at the top. Voila! Contained, life-limited flame!
This is what we do with painted candles at class:-)
those are lovelyReplyDelete
hang on - did trashy just give some sensible grown up advice, or was I dreaming?ReplyDelete
Loving the candles, I'm off to have a nose at that tute...but if it involves heat then I am probably not the lady for it...I think I could start a fire with a hairdryer...
What a fabulous idea... and gorgeous drawings! What lucky teachers... when I was teaching all I ever got was chocolates and bath smellies... not that I minded of course!ReplyDelete
They look gorgeous! I might have to have a go at those with the little Lockets although I have to agree with Katy - Trashy giving grown up advice? Bizarre!!!ReplyDelete
Locket xxx
How lovely to be able to give presents that they have made themselves - it will make it extra special. Lucky teachers.ReplyDelete
What a fabulous and fitting idea. Good for grandparents too. xReplyDelete
Cute Candles -- what a great gift idea! Hope your internet gets sorted out soon -- just tell your ISP and BT "Don't make me sic my blogging buddies on you!" ;-)ReplyDelete
Great candles, great idea for the teachers.ReplyDelete
Hope your connection gets sorted soon - love the candles - what a fab idea!ReplyDelete
What cute and original presents for teachers!ReplyDelete
Great candles! The teachers are going to love them!ReplyDelete
Ooooh pretty - we did some for ours too!ReplyDelete
Wow, those are fancy-schmancy! Me, I just find an old juice glass, install a wick, melt a bit of beeswax, pour it in and call it good. But then you probably know what an underachiever I am by now. >;-DReplyDelete
(Hope your internet connection is behaving!)
What a lovely idea! I love the pictures and I'm sure those teachers will be delighted :-)ReplyDelete
Did aliens just visit and swap Trashy for an alien looky-likey? Ha - you aliens - your plan to take over the world with your sensible candle tips has been rumbled!!!
Darn, I had completely forgotten about teacher's gifts....ReplyDelete
I bet they will love those candles.
OOh I left a comment here before but it must have been eaten! These turned out great - love that they are so personal (oh and I never thought of the potential fire hazard - oops!)ReplyDelete
thanks so much, those would be great for our kinder teachers!ReplyDelete
These are so lovel. I'm sure the teachers will be delighted. A much nicer gift than the usual M&S soap set.ReplyDelete
Thank you for leaving me some feedback! I love reading your comments and I do my best to reply to them. If Blogger gives me your email address, or if I can find one on your blog I'll try to reply by email; otherwise I'll reply in the comments here.

Yesterday I had lunch with Mikheil Saakashvili, the president of Georgia. Saakashvili is one of the most media-friendly heads-of-state I have ever come across. He is fluent in millions of languages and seems to enjoy the company of journalists – there were three FT people there yesterday, as well as a smattering of presidential aides.
"Misha" was on jovial form. (The dining room of the Ritz is a convivial spot) But there is no disguising the pressure that he and Georgia are under. Having an angry and paranoid Russia as your neighbour does not make for a relaxing life. Back in March, there was a helicopter attack on government buildings in Georgia's Kodori gorge – which the Georgians assume was the work of the Russians. The Russians claim the Georgians attacked their own buildings to make Russia look bad.

He let Will use the hand saw with a guide.
but he had a great time with Dad!
Great job!
They look like they had fun together.
Hope Nathan is feeling better.
That is so sweet when little boys get to play with daddy and tools. Building great memories. I hope the little guy is feeling better.
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who let this be a Daddy project!
My son loves anything that lets him feel "grown-up". Great project!
It looks like they had fun (or at least Will had fun!). I bet that power saw made a big impression. Thanks for joining in and showing us all some woodworking!
Looks like everyone had a good time. I have that exact yellow miter box and after trying to use it this weekend I am drooling over those power tools.
My little one was sick this time around too. Hope your kiddo feels better soon. That's great that they were out hanging out for so long together! It looks like fun.

Indian River County is an ideal location for a quiet, more secluded beach vacation on Florida's Treasure Coast. This county does not have large metropolitan areas. Downtown Vero Beach is a quaint area with boutiques, hotels and ocean-side restaurants. The majority of Indian River's beach accesses are city and county-owned beach parks spread throughout the county.
The northern portion of Indian River County is part of Sebastian Inlet State Park. Indian River Lagoon borders the interior area of the county, and is a prime fishing location. Indian River Lagoon is also a wonderful hot spot for scuba diving, boating, kayaking and canoeing.
Prior to 1821, Indian River County was part of the Spanish Colony of East Florida. During this time, Spanish ships carrying massive quantities of gold and silver passed by this area every summer. In 1715, a storm sank the seven Spanish vessels off the coast of present-day Indian River County. Many artifacts including silver and gold were salvaged in the early 1920s. Today, treasure enthusiasts can be found along the beaches of Indian River County searching for buried treasure and casing the shoreline with metal detectors. The McLarty Treasure Museum in northern Indian River County has exhibits and movies detailing the history of the county along with many of the artifacts excavated from the 1715 shipwreck.
The Archie Carr National Wildlife Refuge is a vital nesting area for many types of sea turtles including loggerhead, green and leatherback. Most of Indian River County's beaches feature sprawling sea oats and sand dunes. Some of the coastal birds commonly found in this area include the great egret, wood stork, white ibis and the little blue heron.

The 12.9-inch iPad
A significantly larger iPad may be available in early 2014, according to a report in the Korea Times.
The official said Apple is increasingly interested in introducing bigger iPads as the U.S.-based consumer electronics giant is already acknowledging that tablets will replace PCs in an era of convergence.
"The 12.9-inch iPad will have improved picture quality. As the Apple partner intends to boost its lineup for displays that have almost ultra high-definition (UHD) quality, the upcoming iPad will provide very clear quality similar to that of UHD," said the official.More at Korea TimesHat Tip: Apple Insider
As with all such rumors, take it with a huge grain of salt. It makes sense for Apple to do this, but the timing of it is anybody's guess. I have no doubt the rumor mill is going to be running in overdrive about this as we get into next year.
MOGA Ace Power Gamepad for iPhone
It looks like iPhone gamers will be getting a delightful surprise with the release this week of the MOGA Ace Power Gamepad for iPhone, according to Apple Insider.
The $99 MOGA Ace Power is compatible with Apple's 4-inch Lightning-connected devices: The iPhone 5, iPhone 5c, iPhone 5s, and fifth-generation iPod touch. It also comes with an 1,800mAh battery to recharge a device on the go.
In terms of physical input, the MOGA Ace Power includes two joysticks, a D-pad, front-facing A, B, X and Y buttons, and L1, R1, L2 and R2 shoulder buttons.More at Apple Insider
I'm not much of a gamer these days, but this controller looks very cool indeed. If I gamed more, I'd probably snag one for my iPhone 5. My guess is that there are going to be some very happy gamers after this sucker is released.
iOS 7.1 Beta Released to Developers
9to5Mac is reporting that Apple has released a beta of iOS 7.1 to developers.
iOS 7.1 beta 1 includes a number of bug fixes and (seriously needed) performance enhancements. iPad includes a tweaked closing animation in the pinch-to-close gesture.
A few other changes include a new toggle for 'dark keyboard' in the accessibility settings and an option to upload 'burst mode photos' to Photo Stream for iPhone 5s users. Toggling 'bold text' no longer requires restarting your device as it has up to iOS 7.0.4 and can be found in the text size menu now in addition to the general accessibility menu.More at 9to5Mac
I've not had a lot of problems with iOS 7 on my devices, but I have read some comments on various forums and blogs from people who have had trouble. So a big bug fix will be appreciated by many iOS users, and performance enhancements certainly won't hurt either.
What's your take on all this? Tell me in the comments below.

I need help with mySQL
I just had my web host install the mySQL on the server I am planning to use.
How do I create a new database and assign user name and password for it?
This is what I do:
./mysql -u root -p
Then enter password. Good, I am logged in
Then when I do this:
CREATE DATABASE somename;
It says that database is created. I guess it's good. But how do assign a user name and password who can use it. I don't want to use root user for it.
Does the user have to be added to the Linux users first or can user be added just to mySQL?
I know that it's possible to add database and users and password in one shot using mysqladmin, but I don't know how to do this.
Reading online help from mySQL.com has been the most frastrating experience I've had in years.

I think he was referring to the PPTP, at least that's the way looked to
me. In that case, I already have a customer system that does exactly
this. Uses dynamic dns for VPN clients. You can also limit the VPN
client access based on the firewall rules.
The next section talked about static tunnels, which I think he means the
IPSEC. Since the definition of static tunnels would be both ends have a
static IP address, maybe it wasn't the right terminology for it. I think
he wanted something that would allow dynamic tunnels instead. I have not
tried this myself, so you are saying that instead of using the IP
address of the other remote gateway, you throw in a dns name (like
vpn2.mycorpwebsite.com) and it only resolves the address once? If the IP
of the other end changes, the tunnel would collapse. Would m0n0wall not
try to establish another connection and thus cause another DNS lookup?
Do you mean it looks up the address only once while booted?
I haven't tried any of that myself, but I take it you have and this was
the result?
Thanks for the info,

The Washington Post reports that Mohamed Nasheed, the former president of Maldives, claims the United States has given legitimacy to the Islamist coup which deposed him.
Mohamed Nasheed won the presidency in Maldives's first multiparty elections in 2008, after a lifetime advocating democracy and human rights and several long stints in jail.
Less than three years later, he was forced to resign by an angry mob of police officers and soldiers, in what he says was a coup engineered by his autocratic predecessor.
"We have to have an election," he said in an interview while visiting the Indian capital, New Delhi. "In the absence of that, Islamic radicals are gaining strength in the Maldives."
Nasheed, whose multiple instances of torture and imprisonment prevented him from witnessing the birth of his daughters, removed various Islamic prohibitions that created legal inequality for Maldives citizens.

The More I Learn
Steve Jones
, 2005/08/09
the more I'm sure that I'm getting dumber with SQL Server.
This week I've been working on some QODs based on SQL Server 2005. I've used some of the articles, white papers, and blog postings that I've been reading lately to learn a few things about the new features. And so I fire up my June CTP to do some testing and ensure that the code compiles and works. Hopefully this will cut down the complaints in the QOD forums.
But as I work through the different areas, getting 2-3 questions from each, I'm amazed at how much stuff has changed and how much new stuff there is in the product. It seems like it grew exponentially whereas 2000 seemed like a point release from 7, which is originally was. This is a new beast and if you're looking at moving to it, there's some testing to be done.
Not that things won't work the same that you used in 2000, but you might have third party products, tools, add-ins, etc that need testing. I know we've been hoping to get in some testing on our search component, but time just gets away from me. Maybe next week :)

I need a portable diy electronic AC volt meter, to avoid transportation of Scopes.
Can you help me please?
My need is an average or peak, or even peak to peak metering system to output voltage, over speaker loads or dummy loads.
The problem with standard meters, are that they need a sinusoidal and fixed voltage, and frequency range width is too small, needing 60 hertz continuous signal to have some precision.
I had, many times, to go to friend's houses carrying Wave form Monitors.
I need a transistorized circuit, not an op amp circuit or even a chip amplifier....my preference is a discrete transistorized circuit, operated from batteries that can read with a reasonable precision (under 5 percent) with a more extended frequency range than the standard analog or digital multimeters (the cheap ones)....not needed the capacity to have all audio spectrum precision, but that capacity can be very interesting too... a flat amplifier aid can be very nice.
Those ones that you can calibrate by yourself, using some reference..some well known reference, the ones you can adjust, the ones you can use a S-Meter or even a VU meter, using it's own scale as reference to construct our RMS scale making some convertions, some calculations and some art work to produce panels.
I had one that made a reasonable work, a Fluke 87 Multimeter, now the good friend (that fluke) is dead .... so i need to construct something to mobile measurements...remote measurements... something portable to outside home work.
Do you have a sketch, a diagram, a schematic, or something to help me.
Post it here, or, if you prefer, go direct to my mail.
thanks in advance.

Hi Carlos,
Yup, that Fluke was good to what, 200KHz on AC? Any of the old AC meters would rectify the AC so that the response of the amplifier and detector were the limiting factors. Look at the Leader LAV191 schematic, or the older HP AC meters for audio. The meter movement is only important for DC accuracy at this point.
Alternatively, some of the newer true RMS converter chips preceeded by a buffer / amplifier circuit (could be discrete) would give you a very accurate insturment. Add a digital display for steady state signals, again you only need DC accuracy. 3 1/2 digit basic meter kit is a cheap way to do this.
BTW, how on earth did you kill the Fluke? They are pretty tough, and have lot's of internal protection. They might even survive if you run over them in a truck (seen that).

Wonder why you wouldn't want an op-amp based circuit. This is a voltmeter you want, not a hi-fi guru amplifier....
I highly doubt you can make something better by not using op-amps.

There are Destroyer guys that can do those things Anatech.
They are almost impossible to destruct, but they did not knew me before they told that.
The Multimeter was shutting down by itself...first defect.... display had problems....one side darker than the other, and a friend asked me the Multimeter to use for a week...hehe...he did not told me that the hi ampere scale had the fuse blew....and having not another one, the "idiotic" friend replace the fuse with a heavy gauge jumper wire...and he forgot to remove the jumper, replace the fuse or inform me when he return the equipment to my home.
The second idiot, me..... destroyer X...the extra Destroyer, receive the instrument and many weeks latter, this last week i made a short in my supply output, to see its short circuit current capability...a small supply.... it shows me 13.4 amperes...... as turning of automatically all the time, i forgot to remove the leads from the high ampere plug.... and last week i plug it in a decided and fast way, direct into the 220 mains outlet...it explode inside and melted some part in my hand... the rubber protection smelling a lot.
I told nothing to my friend Paulinho... a very good guy.... will not disturb him.... as i crashed his car last year, and he did not accepted a dollar...his repair costs reached 500 bucks....so...deal made.ahahahahah!
Anatech, thank you related the file you will send me.
.................................................. .................................................. ...
MZZJ, yes, this is the one i need...having more detailed informs, i will thank you very much, and will sent you some brazilian warm to melt some ice from your neighborhood.
.................................................. .................................................. ..
Audio Wizard... escuses moi,monsieur, bonjour pour vous.
I am sorry Mr, a good day for you.
Each one of us have our dark side, some pre conceived dirty ideas.... for instance, i do not apreciate womans under 30 years old, as they are not experienced, and this is not some idiotic idea...this one is my clever side.
But i have many stupid ideas too, i do not like op amplifiers and also i hate chips....i do not apreciate things that i cannot see...those black boxes, and many of them we cannot find the internal circuits to observe and evaluate.... do not like secrets..i prefer discrete components.... those things hard to understand...i must confess you that i also have some troubles to understand me.
Also i love audio...and those op amps do not have a good audio swing capabilities, limited they are because of supply voltage..this is something terrible.... so old they are, and have this problem now a days, they do not have internal supply regulation to let us free of those limiting factors.
Related audio chips, normally, they have internal small distance from input to output...this means to me that it can oscilate, and to avoid that oscilations, there are many capacitors that destroy all the audio quality...aaagh!...i do not like them.

Hi Carlos,
Okay, that's a good way to end a great meter! I've seen others do the same thing before. B.E.R. Beyond Economical Repair. Sad. If you can afford it later, it's about the best all around meter to have.
I am sure you can modify the circuit I sent you for your purpose. Let me know when you are done how it worked out for you.
You know Carlos, when we get older, we want a calm woman. Too much drama, false excitment, with the young ones. I understand you there!

You get it...hundred percent, this one is more than i hope for
This circuit is perfect to me.... perfect!
Those "Made in USA" are lovely things.... i miss very much those old days, when Made in USA was a reason of pride.
Now they are buying Japanese cars!...nothing against Japanese cars...but were's those lovely V8?.....can make them with reduced consumption too, smaller sized motors, and smaller cars too.
I think the more old Japanese guys may be laughing and thinking:
- "You have sent me a bomb around 1945, my revenge is that i will transform your pride, your cars will be alike "bombs", and i will invade you in a peacefully way... kicking and smilling"
I was in Los Angeles in 1982.... i turn myself redish, furious!... my desire was start to scream:
- How could American guys do that with your their Industrie?
All i coud see was Hiunday, Subaru, Mazda,Toyota,Honda... and i was driving a rented Thunderbird...Yeah!...protecting America...you do not know the finger i was controling not to show to everyone driving a Japanese car.
And them i drive the enormous Thunderbird..hehe...white leather seats.... wonderfull engine sound...better than music... i was visiting beverly hills when i saw wood used to construction.... and wrote over the wood "Wood from Amazon".... do you know some thing the dogs do near a three?.... Yeah!...i made it in the nearest three!...facing Hollywood inscription and with extreme internal revolution.... intervenctions were made to protect Amazon Jungle... and that forbiden wood entering Beverly hills.....Aaaaaaagh!
Returning to Los Angeles, i rented a Japanese car.... and i start to smile to the ones that are using Japanese car... remembering my dog's revenge!
We are still protecting big cars...Mopars wonderfull machines from USA... those, you can see, was made here... from the first screw to the last wire... we go using them, powered with nature gaz... we have Japanese cars beeing constructed here... they are better and cheaper..but we go buying the ones that arrived here in the fifties...GM, Volkswagen, Ford and others.... defending the good things...Yeahhhh!
All rigth....you also experienced with girls my friend...you are rigth.... not fake screams ...ahahaha..you got it!

New Program Encourages CNY To Go Solar
A coalition of local community organizations are working together to encourage Central New York residents to go solar.
The Solarize Syracuse campaign says they are working to get people in the city of Syracuse and the towns of Dewitt and Manlius interested in solar energy for residential and commercial locations. They say they know some people in Central New York think solar won't work here. They claim that Germany leads the world in solar energy production, and Upstate New York has more sun than they do.
They plan to hold nine workshops to explain how their program works. You can get a complete list of the workshop locations and more information about the program by visiting the Solarize Syracuse website.

Watertown turned an ugly incident late in the game into a pretty 41-37 Eastern South Dakota Conference girls basketball victory over Pierre on Friday in the Civic Arena.
With the Arrows trailing 31-30 midway through the fourth quarter, Watertown's Shayli Kirsch and Pierre's Taylor Hyde found themselves in the middle of a skirmish that resulted in double technicals and an intentional foul.
After the play, Watertown (5-13 overall and 5-7 in the ESD) scored seven straight points to take control and never looked back.
"It was a pretty physical game," said Kirsch. "At the half, coach told us to not let down and don't take any crap from them and we didn't. We controlled the second half and got a nice win."
After Kirsch and Hyde got tangled up in the first half going after a loose ball, the pair again found themselves in a heated exchange in the fourth quarter. With Kirsch playing tight defense, Hyde swung her elbow around and connected with the nose of Kirsch drawing blood and a little retaliation from the 5-foot-3 Arrow guard.
Both players received technical fouls and Hyde also was tagged with an intentional foul — her fifth personal of the game. Kirsch made one of two foul shots to tie the game at 31-31 and the Arrows were off an running from that point on — feeding off the energy from the incident.
McKenzie Werner followed with a basket and Kirsch sank a pair of foul shots to stretch the Arrow lead to 35-31. Ashtin McClemans capped the 7-0 run with a field goal of her own before Katie Berg ended the skid with a hoop for the Governors (9-9 and 6-7).
Mandy Tetzlaff answered for Watertown with a fastbreak basket to widen the gap to 39-33. Back-to-back baskets by Sydney Palmer and Kaitlyn Severyn pulled Pierre within two points but McClemans made good on a shot in the paint off an assist from Kirsch with 16 seconds remaining to wrap up the game.
"That little tussle definitely got everyone fired up," said Kirsch. "We kind of fed off of that energy after that and played well at the end. It was a nice win for us."
The Arrows trailed at every quarter break but never by more than four points. Pierre led 13-10 after the first break and held a 23-19 advantage at the half. Watertown cut the deficit to 29-28 after the third quarter before taking over in the final quarter.
"I think we were able to set the tone and dictate how the game was played tonight," said Watertown coach Pat McClemans. "We were very aggressive and went after the ball. When you see one or two people do that, you get a lot more of them doing it. We are not going to win a lot of pretty games. We have to win ugly and keep the score down and I am happy with how we played tonight."
The win was extra nice for the Arrows, who suffered a 62-31 loss at Pierre in early January.
This time around, Watertown got off to a much better start and didn't have to play from behind like in the first meeting.
Danielle Duncan's strong play in the opening quarter was a big reason why the Arrows got off to a strong start. Duncan netted six points in the first quarter with four of them coming from the foul line after driving hard to the basket against the much taller Governors.
"It's a lot easier for us to play when we aren't starting from behind right away," said McClemans. "I thought our kids competed hard from the start. We hung with them the whole way and then our kids made some plays there at the end."
Tetzlaff finished with 12 points and four rebounds to lead the Arrows. Duncan added 10 points and both Kirsch and McClemans chipped in with six points. McClemans also led in rebounds with five.
Palmer's 11 points and seven rebounds paced the Governors. Kristi Livermont added 10 points and Severyn had nine points and six rebounds.
"This win feels really good," said Kirsch. "These next few games are really important to us for the district tournament so it was nice to get the win."
The Arrows will look to make it two straight for the first time this season when they host fellow District 1AA rival Brookings today (Saturday) in the Civic Arena at 5:45 p.m. The game is part of a boys-girls doubleheader with the varsity boys game to follow at 7:30 p.m.
Kaitlyn Severyn 4-5 1-1 9, Taylor Hyde 1-5 0-0 3, Stevi Claussen 0-2 0-0 0, Katie Berg 2-5 0-0 4, Sydney Palmer 5-16 0-0 11, Kristi Livermont 5-8 0-0 10. Totals 17-41 1-1 37.
Shayli Kirsch 1-6 3-4 6, Elli Stevenson 2-8 0-0 5, Molly DeSpiegler 0-1 0-0 0, Danielle Duncan 2-9 6-6 10, Ashtin McClemans 3-8 0-0 6, McKenzie Werner 1-2 0-0 2, Mandy Tetzlaff 5-8 2-2 12. Totals 14-42 11-12 41.
Pierre 13 23 29 37
Watertown 12 19 28 41
Three-point goals — Pierre 2-3 (Hyde 1-1, Palmer 1-1, Livermont 0-1), Watertown 2-6 (Kirsch 1-2, Stevenson 1-4). Total fouls — Pierre 14, Watertown 13. Fouled out — Pierre (Hyde).

Woman Who Won The Lotto At 16 Is Now Broke At 22
Callie Rogers won a £1.9 million lottery jackpot at the tender age of 16. Now, six years later, she's attempted suicide twice, has moved back in with her mom, and is working three jobs to survive. The 22-year-old believes that winning the lottery ruined her life. "My life is a shambles," she said. "[Winning the lottery] brought me nothing but unhappiness. It's ruined my life. I've just wanted to make people happy by spending money on them. But it hasn't made me happy. It just made me anxious that people are only after me for my money." [Daily Mail]
Um, how do you blow through over $3 million in six years? Apparently, with a little help from your friends … and deadbeat boyfriend. After Callie won the lotto, she bought and decorated four houses for herself, her 'rents, and her grandma, which cost about $895K. (Wait, you can buy four houses in England for that amount of money? Who needs a lottery!?) She also spent $325K traveling. The rest of the money went to cars, presents and paying off assorted family members' loans. Then there were clothes, a boob job, presents for her boyfriends, legal fees, and two six-figure trust funds for her kids, who were the products of a tumultuous relationship with her boyfriend, Nicky Lawson, who dealt cocaine from her house,. Oh, and he also allegedly stole money from her and slept with her younger sister, causing the first suicide attempt. Her second attempt came right before Nicky went to jail for two years. Sounds like a real catch, right?
Now, Callie is driving a used VW Golf (me too!), selling her house, and facing bankruptcy. But Callie says she's happier being poor. "'Until you win such a large amount of money at such a young age, you don't realize the pressures that come with it. I wish I had never won," she says. Hopefully, those six-figure trust funds won't have the same effect on her little ones in 20 years!
I don't think many poor people would decide they'd rather remain poor than accept lottery winnings, but since Callie was the second youngest lottery jackpot winner, maybe she should have had more parental guidance in managing the money? Who lets a 16-year-old run around with $3 million dollars?! The 16-year-old me would have moved to Tokyo and opened a thrift store. Wait, the 26-year-old me would probably still do that, but the point I so carefully just muddled is that handing a ton of cash to people with no concept of financial planning is dangerous.

WALLA WALLA, Wash. – Whitman seniors Sarah Anderegg and Meghan White combined for 34 points in their final home games inside the Sherwood Center as the second-ranked Missionaries rolled to an 80-53 Northwest Conference women's basketball victory over visiting Linfield Saturday evening.
With the victory, Whitman ran its perfect record to 23-0, including 14-0 against league opponents, while dropping Linfield to 7-15 overall and 3-10 in NWC action.
Wildcat veterans Katelyn Henson and Kaely Maltman finished as the only double digit-scorers on the visitors' side, contributing 15 and 14 points, respectively. Henson also finished with a team-high eight rebounds.
Sparked by Heather Johns' 3-pointer just 14 seconds after the opening whistle, the Missionaries raced to an 11-2 advantage with 16:49 on the clock. A trey from Taylor Solomon with 15:25 to play ended a near four-minute scoring drought for the Wildcats, but Whitman responded with an 8-3 run to gain an 11-point lead, 19-8.
The Missionaries converted at a rate a few percentage points higher than their counterparts (42.5 to 35.7 percent) over the opening 20 minutes, and had far more looks at the basket, knocking down 17-of-40 attempts compared to 10-of-28 for Linfield, in gaining a 39-25 advantage by the break.
Anderegg scored the first four points of the second half to push the spread to 18 points, 43-25, and Whitman's lead swelled to as many as 30 on Chelsei Brewer's layup with 9:41 to play. Maltman, Henson and Riley Graham (Sr., Scio, Ore.) spearheaded a 10-0 Wildcat run that make it a 65-45 game with 6:25 on the clock, only to watch the Missionaries rattle off 11 straight points to gain their biggest lead of the night, 31 points, with just about four minutes remaining.
Dani Krier (Sr., Eugene, Ore.) scored all six of her points in the final 2:50, including a buzzer-beating layup to reach the final count of 80-53.
On the night, Whitman shot 41.8 percent from the field, including 31.6 percent from beyond the arc. The Wildcats, meanwhile, hit 35 percent of their attempts, but made just two 3-pointers, missing all five opportunities in the second half.
Getting matching 12-rebound performances from White and Hailey Ann Maeda, the Missionaries outrebounded the visitors 53-36.
'CAT SCRATCH: Knocking down 6-of-14 attempts from the floor, Maltman remained the conference leader in field goal percentage, hitting 59.2 of her attempts on the year…the senior has reached double figures in 20 of 22 games this season…Henson recorded back-to-back double figure performances for the first time this month…Krier's six points were a career high against a Northwest Conference opponent.
AHEAD: Linfield plays host to Willamette Tuesday evening inside Ted Wilson Gymnasium. Tipoff is at 6 p.m. in a matchup that was rescheduled due to the massive snowstorm to hit the Portland area the weekend of Feb. 7-8.

The storyline takes place in the Isdolan Region, an area that has been through a lot of fighting and war with other Regions, but has recently come to peace with the other Regions. This results in you finally being allowed to begin your journey after you served in a military career for the Original Army (Kanto, Johto, etc..). Your family decided to move to the recently liberated Region to get a fresh start after losing your original home in the Hoenn region during the War. You start off with your one Pokemon that fought along your side in the war. (Riolu, Zorua, Larvitar, Mudkip, or Pikachu)
During your adventure, you meet a person that will become your Rival. He wants to battle you, saying that he has never lost but if he did, he would give you a useful item, which is the Pokedex. You then begin your journey for the badges.
Important Notes:
1) You can obtain every Pokemon up to Generation 5 in-game
2) After beating the Elite 4, you can go scuba diving in Barrothorn City. While diving, you find an ancient relic which shows each location of Legendary Pokemon. You then proceed on a Legendary Hunt travelling to different regions to go to Legendary locations. (Seafoam Islands, Tin Tower, Sky Pillar, etc..)
3) You can buy Master Balls from the Isdolan branch of Silph Co. for $100,000
I am also writing the storyline for this region/game.
I feel bad for all the kids who didn't get to play Pokemon when they were younger. That would've been a very boring childhood.
My X/Y Shiny Pokemon
- Lanturn (1st Shiny Ever!), Basculin, Poliwag, Gyarados, Dragalge, Corsola (Coral Blue #5), Drilbur, Greninja

If you've got a vintage 70's Crawligator skateboard for babies around, this is very good karma. DaddyTypes got an email from a new dad of a disabled eight month old, who writes:
I'm searching for a Crawligator for my eight month old son with leg deformities. He will be having them amputated and is expected to have trouble crawling. I would like to find him a Crawligator to give him the best start possible.
If you've got one you can spare, drop a comment at DaddyTypes.

The corresponding sitemap.xmap, however, refers to {forrest:plugins}/openOffice.org/* -- note initial lowercase O. The uppercase/lowercase discrepancy in the directory name leads to an internal server error or Linux. This behavior is probably the same on other *nix platforms. Windows should work fine (haven't tested though). The problem is easily fixed temporarily by renaming build/plugins/OpenOffice.org to build/plugins/openOffice.org and then rerunning Forrest. Should be fixed permanently by changing the directory name in the zip archive (or by changing the sitemap.xmap, if that is preferred). --------------------------------------------------------------------- JIRA INFORMATION: This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

HP Ink Cartridges Reach (Wastefull) Sustainability Milestone
HP Ink Cartridges Reach (Wastefull) Sustainability Milestone
2014-05-01 at 11:52:18 am #32043
HP Ink Cartridges Reach Sustainability Milestone
by Stephen Nigro
(Tonernews.com: Hey Hp how about remanufacturing all empty toner and ink instead of breaking them down into scrap plastic, wouldn't that be more environmentally friendly?)
Stephen Nigro is Senior Vice President of the Inkjet and Graphics Business at Hewlett-Packard.
I 'm excited to announce today that more than 75 percent of Hewlett-Packard's ink cartridges and 24 percent of our LaserJet toner cartridges are now made with recycled plastic1 – a 50 percent increase in the number of HP cartridges with recycled content over last year. This effort brings us closer to achieving our Living Progress environmental goals, one of which is to recycled 3.5 billion pounds of electronic products and supplies by 2015.
How does it work?
HP's "closed loop" cartridge recycling process creates new HP cartridges from recycled plastic. We get the plastic from returned HP cartridges and other sources, including recycled plastic bottles and plastic apparel hangers. Since 1991, we've kept 566 million returned HP cartridges out of landfills through this recycling process. Additionally, HP has kept 2.5 billion plastic water bottles and 4.5 million pounds of recycled hangers out of landfills since the start of these programs.
Why bother?
The production of energy for use building our products accounts for more than half of HP's total carbon footprint. By providing more sustainable ink options to our customers, HP is able to reduce that portion of our footprint. In fact, our "closed loop" recycling process has a 33 percent lower carbon footprint and consumes 54 percent less fossil fuel than the process for creating new plastic.2
We're also firm believers that what benefits the environment also benefits our employees and our bottom line. Recycled ink cartridges join several other HP Living Progress sustainability initiatives, which we believe drive human and economic progress.
For example, our new packaging made from straw waste reduces our need for harvesting trees, emits less carbon dioxide, and uses less energy and water than traditional paper packaging. At the same time, it's also cheaper to produce and provides a new source of revenue for Chinese farmers. Our trans-Asian train route has reduced carbon impacts and is more affordable than air transport, while also allowing factory workers to live closer to their inland homes.
HP was the first company in the IT industry to set greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction goals for our supply chain, and we've been praised externally for our overall GHG reduction efforts. I'm proud to say that today's announcements contribute to our continued progress towards reducing our environmental impact. These efforts can help improve the lives of our customers, our more than 300,000 employees, and their communities around the world.
1. HP ink cartridges that include recycled plastic contain 50-70 % recycled plastic; HP LaserJet toner cartridges that include recycled plastic contain 10-20 % recycled plastic.
2. Data and assumptions drawn from a 2014 life cycle assessment (LCA) performed by Four Elements Consulting and commissioned by HP.

If you need a gimmick to underscore the fuel economy of a new vehicle, you can't pick a better one than this: a new Guinness world record for the lowest fuel consumption in a hybrid gasoline vehicle while driving through all "Lower 48" U.S. states.
To do it, Kia turned to Wayne Gerdes from Wadsworth, Ill., one of the country's top hypermilers, and Chris Bernius from New York. They drove a factory-standard 2011 Kia Optima hybrid sedan some 7,899 miles across America. Using their driving techniques, they achieved 64.55 miles per gallon. That's 61% better than the car's EPA gas mileage ratings.
Amazingly, the Optima hybrid used only five and a half tanks of gas to cover every Lower 48 state. There were two people in the car, plus luggage, in order to qualify for the record.
They set off on Aug. 26 at Kia's factory in West Point, Ga., and finished last week in Greenville, S.C. There will be a ceremony today to fete the pair in West Point.

As Ian Thomson describes in the TLS this week, the cars drew level, and Mussolini pulled over to confront his pursuer.
At length the dim outline of their pursuer alone could be seen against the sky.
The cadet soon guessed the nature of the pursuer from the way she behaved.
It was Carmena, every nerve of her loyal nature on the alert to baffle this pursuer of Alessandro and Ramona.
Having thus overcome their pursuer, they returned to the lodge.
Yet unless her pursuer were a dog, which seemed entirely unlikely, it was certainly one of these two.
A moment of this endeavor only showed me that my pursuer was gaining.
The girl narrowly succeeded in eluding the grasp of her pursuer.
This caused its pursuer to descend to the ground again with all speed.
Immediately, though, an old Indian device for deceiving a pursuer occurred to him.

DIY Dildo-Cam
new! 4/29/08
Getting the lighting and angles right for close-up penetration shots is one of the most challenging parts of making porn – pro or amateur. We've devised a way to get a really, really close-up view of the in-and-out with a USB dildo-cam. It's like having your face right up in the action. Satiate your fascination with penetration.
All you need for this project is a small USB webcam, a sturdy dildo with large balls, some silicone caulk, and a sharp utility knife.
We used a camera with LEDs built into it, for illuminating those places where the sun don't shine. An adjustable lens is nice as well; you want to be able to capture all the up-close details in focus.
The dildo's balls need to be big enough to contain the body of the camera, or at least its height and width. It's OK if some of the camera sticks out, as long as it's secure.
We used a jelly rubber dildo, but we recommend regular rubber, which is firmer and easier to work with. Silicone and jelly can split easily when cut, while cyberskin is too soft and also tears.
Before beginning this project, install any software and drivers needed for your webcam and give it a test drive. This way you can address any technical issues with the cam before you get it inserted in the dildo.
To prepare the webcam, remove any attached mounting hardware. In this case it was a swiveling clip. Make any other modifications to the case necessary to fit it into the dildo, if you can do so without destroying the camera itself. Our webcam had a metal post that was part of the case, but as you will see in a later step, we decided to work around it rather than sawing it off.
Compare the size of the cam to the size of the balls to figure out the approximate positioning you want and where to cut the hole. The walls of the hole need to be thick enough on all sides that they will support the cam and the rubber won't get torn as you insert the device.
Excise the area where the cam will be situated. It's better to make the hole slightly small and carve more from the sides than to make it too large. You want the cam to fit snugly.
After making the initial cuts, you will need to use a longer blade to slice all the way through the balls. The hole goes all the way through so the USB cable can exit from the back of the dildo. We saved the extracted plug and later used parts of it to fill in the back of the cavity. If your hole ends up being too large, you can also use slices of the excess rubber as shims to fill in gaps around the camera.
With our webcam, the ball pivot from the swivel clip was part of the housing, so we made a vertical hole for it through the underside of the balls. When inserted through this hole, the pivot helped hold the cam in place, and the metal ball sticking out from the end created a nice "pierced" scrotum effect.
We inserted the cam from the back of the dildo, so the USB cable would be coming out of the backside of the balls. The cam had to be inserted carefully to avoid splitting the jelly rubber.
A portion of the plug extracted from the hole was used to fill in the back, covering the rear of the cam. The cable is resting in a small notch carved out for it. Depending on the positioning of your cam's cable, you may need to wrap it around the case or cut a groove in one of the walls to accommodate it.
The cam is pushed all the way to the front of the opening and the lens protrudes slightly. To set the angle and positioning of the cam, turn it on and check the image while making adjustments. You want it aimed up slightly toward the shaft, where the action will be happening. It also needs to be lined up with the shaft, so you're getting a square shot and the frame doesn't go too far off to one side. Our cam had a photosensitive switch on the top that activated the LEDs in low-light conditions. Since we wanted them on when the cam was in use, we positioned the cam so that the sensor was covered, blocking out light.
Use the caulk as adhesive to secure the plug in the back of the hole, and use it to fill in any gaps around the cam in the front and back. The caulk should overlap slightly over the edges of the cam. Remove any excess and clear it away from the LEDs as much as possible. We used a caulk that becomes transparent when dry, so a little bit on the LEDs wouldn't obscure the lights too much. Take care not to get any on the cam lens. Our cam had a small microphone hole on the front that also needed to remain clear.
The caulk may take a couple of days to harden completely because of the amount used. After the silicone has cured, the cam is ready to plug and play. Get ready for your close-up!

New cancer treatments could be developed targeting tumours driven by mutations in a gene known as KRAS, scientists have said.
Alterations in the KRAS gene are associated with just under a third (30 per cent) of human cancers, including those of the pancreas, lungs and leukemia.
With current cancer treatments proving less effective in treating these forms of the disease, researchers at Harvard Medical School focused their attentions on what KRAS-driven cancers need in order to thrive.
It was discovered that KRAS-influenced cancer cells are sensitive to the suppression of serine/threonine kinase STK33, which raises the possibility that STK33 may be a possible treatment target for certain forms of cancer.
Commenting on the findings, Gary Gilliland, of Harvard Medical School, said: "The beauty of the strategy is that it would take only 50 to 70 per cent knockdown of STK33 to kill a cancer cell.
"It relies on a unique frailty of the cancer cell that normal cells don't have."
Scientists remain unable to explain why leukemia will develop in one person and not in another - even in the case of identical twins

LED artist has created the 50th piece in the Cowboys Stadium collection
Published: 27 April 2013 05:27 PM
In the Age of Busy, Jim Campbell appears to be busier than most. He recently appeared at Cowboys Stadium, where he installed the 50th piece of art in the venue's versatile collection. Then he flew to China, drawing even further inspiration for an art career that has, to say the least, taken an unconventional path.
In his mid-50s, Campbell is a San Francisco-based artist who works primarily with LED installations. He began in film but switched to electronic sculpture during the 1990s and eventually to LEDs. Unlike most of his art-world contemporaries, he focused on electrical engineering and mathematics, earning two degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Campbell defines the past decade of his work by saying, "I have been creating low-resolution images that explore the edges of vision perception. When do our eyes — brain — stop seeing and start imagining? I'm interested in the borderline between abstraction and representation, where intuition and primal perception take over."
Primal perception: It's an intriguing choice of words, given that this is a football stadium. Campbell calls the stadium's art collection wonderful and says that, in his case, it came about when art consultant Mary Zlot "saw a work that I had done at the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art and thought a work in the same vein could work well in the stadium." Zlot ended up appropriating the work for the stadium collection.
Campbell says it consists of about 3,000 "little lights each individually hung to create a three-dimensional field of lights that, from the right viewing point, coalesces into an image of football players running around. From close up, the image is completely abstract, and from far away, the image is recognizable."
In a remarkably short time, Campbell has established a serious pedigree. He has exhibited throughout the world, in such institutions as the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles and the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia in Sydney.
His electronic artwork is included in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C., and the de Young Museum in Golden Gate Park in San Francisco.
On top of all that, Campbell holds almost 20 patents in the field of video image processing. Now he's a fixture at Cowboys Stadium, which has hosted a Super Bowl, the NBA All-Star Game and several supersize concerts.
Campbell, the math-inspired artist, seems to fit right in, with his art making a telling comment on football itself.
In recent years, critics have seized the mojo in Campbell's work. The Boston Globe published its take on Campbell's Exploded View (Commuters), which a reviewer noted "utilizes more than 1,100 LEDs, spherical white bulbs the size of sourballs, suspended at various heights on wire from a steel frame, creating a rectangular, three-dimensional, polka-dotted field of light. Campbell has programmed the lights to shine or dim; in concert, they depict the shadowy figures of hurrying people.
"It's magical," the critic says. "When I first saw the piece from several feet away in the darkened gallery, I took it to be a monitor on the far wall with a grainy video. Up close, it's like a swarm of fireflies."
The critic concludes by saying "the works are streamlined and smart, but it's the flip-flop Campbell incites between the most mundane representation and startling abstraction that makes them art."

NCAA president: Pay could destroy college sports
OAKLAND, Calif. — NCAA President Mark Emmert stuck to his contention that amateurism is the core of college athletics, saying any effort to pay players would destroy a framework that has been in place for more than a century and cause many schools to either abandon sports or refuse to play other schools that do pay.
Emmert said college athletes themselves wouldn't want to play against other athletes who were getting paid.
"They want to know everyone is playing by the same rules," he said. "They want to know the other teams consist of student athletes just like them."
Emmert took the witness stand Thursday in a landmark antitrust trial against the NCAA to say college sports would be fatally flawed if players were allowed to receive a portion of the billions of dollars in basketball and football television revenues now flowing into big conferences and colleges.
Emmert said one of the biggest reasons fans like college sports is that they believe the athletes are really students who play for a love of the sport and for their school and community. He said fans understand college players aren't as good as professionals, but that doesn't stop some programs from being more popular than professional teams.
"To convert college sports into professional sports would be tantamount to converting it into minor league sports," Emmert said. "And we know that in the U.S. minor league sports aren't very successful either for fan support or for the fan experience."
Emmert's testimony came in a much-anticipated appearance as the NCAA tries to convince U.S. District Judge Claudia Wilken that its system of so-called amateurism is not anti-competitive and is the best model for regulating college sports.
Watching closely from the plaintiff's table was former UCLA basketball star Ed O'Bannon, who along with 19 other former players is seeking an injunction that would allow players to band together and sell the rights to their names, images and likenesses (NILs) in broadcasts and video games. O'Bannon testified on the first day of the trial last week that he went to UCLA to play basketball and that he was a student grudgingly at best.
The lawsuit and other efforts targeting the NCAA have already had some effect, with the biggest five conferences moving quickly toward giving athletes more money and benefits. Emmert said he supported those moves, but said giving athletes more than the true cost of attendance would cause a free-for-all in recruiting and force many schools to give up smaller sports.
Many schools, he said, would simply leave Division I sports rather than pay their players.
Under friendly questioning by an NCAA attorney, Emmert defended the concept of amateurism, which he said has been a core principle from the time the NCAA was founded in 1905 to today.
"It's one of the most fundamental principles of the NCAA and intercollegiate athletics," Emmert said. "They have always seen and assumed that intercollegiate athletics is about the notion that these are members of the student body. They're not hired employees conducting games for entertainment. They're not a random group of folks that just come together to play sports."
Emmert's appearance drew an overflow crowd to Wilken's courtroom as the NCAA sought to rebut earlier contentions by witnesses for the plaintiffs that the organization's rules on amateurism are anti-competitive and that almost everyone connected with college sports makes money except athletes.
Emmert acknowledged under sometimes contentious cross examination that many people are professionals because they make money in college sports, but said that is no different than other amateur sports. The NCAA president — who himself makes $1.6 million a year — drew a distinction between coaches making millions of dollars a year, and athletes who receive only tuition and room and board for their services.
"The pay to a professional coach is very different than the nature of the student-athlete's relationship to the university," Emmert said. "The coach has been a paid individual as long as there have been paid coaches and student-athletes are amateurs. The fact coaches are getting paid more doesn't change those relationships at all."
O'Bannon and others are asking for a ruling that would give basketball and football players the right to seek a share of revenues from their sports for use of their names, images and likenesses (NILs) in broadcasts and videogames. A broad outline of a plan sketched by the plaintiffs would give players equal shares for each year they play, with the money paid only after an athlete leaves college.
Emmert, a former university president who has headed the NCAA for nearly four years, said even deferred payments would be in direct violations of NCAA rules first crafted in 1905 that forbid giving money to players.
"It's still the same," he said. "It's pay for playing, regardless of whether it's paid today or paid tomorrow."
Emmert said if some schools paid their players for their NILs and others didn't it would create such an uneven playing field among schools there would likely be no national championships in football and basketball.
"Direct payment as an inducement (to recruits) is obviously fundamentally different than to say you're going to be in this locker room or that stadium," he said. "Member schools would certainly find that an uncompetitive situation and wouldn't want to be a part of a championship that is driven by that."
He acknowledged, though, that there is a lot of debate within the NCAA and its 1,100 member schools over how far universities can go in chasing money for athletic programs. Emmert said he himself ordered the cancellation of a NCAA videogame because there was a dispute over whether player NILs were being used in it. The NCAA settled a lawsuit over the use of NILs in the EA game for $20 million on the eve of the trial.
