The means and manner by which a human may interact with a machine for the purpose of music making has proven an area of immense research and activity since the days of early electronic instruments. This term is used without any great consistency, in part due to the immense scale of current research and activity in the field.
Any conceivable means of inputting data into a system to elicit some form of musically meaningful response may be considered to be a controller. In the broadest possible sense, a controller, via some form of communication between component parts (e.g. MIDI, converters, computer software) in conjunction with some means of producing or modifying sound may be termed an Interactive Instrument. Frequently, such controllers exist in homologous relationships with sensors (e.g. of movement). Thus gloves, conductors batons, toys, amongst countless other examples, may be constructed or modified to function as musical instruments.
An existing form of musical instrument may be modified through the addition of sensors, enabling control of additional electronically mediated sound generation or modification (including the instrumental sound itself) in addition to the conventional control the musician exerts over the production of the acoustic sound. Such examples are also sometimes referred to as Extended Instruments.

Annual iLabs survey shows positive outlook
February 1, 2012
DEARBORN / February 1, 2012---iLabs, University of Michigan-Dearborns Center for Innovation Research, today released its annual Michigan Technology Climate Survey. The survey, which assesses opinions of executives regarding the current business climate facing tech firms, found an improving perception of Michigan as a place to conduct business.
This year we are saw a substantial change in the outlook of technology leaders, said Tim Davis, director of iLabs. There is an expressed confidence and optimism about the direction and growth of their companies. This is reinforced by a positive view of Michigan as a place that is not just increasingly friendly to business and technology interests, but cultivates an environment where industry can grow.
A total of 55 Michigan-based technology business leaders participated in the survey, which was conducted throughout the fall of 2011 in collaboration with the Detroit Regional Chamber, Automation Alley and the MIT Enterprise Forum Great Lakes Chapter.
Over half of those surveyed indicated that a majority of their revenues come from Michigan and that they plan to expand their workforces this year to meet increases in sales. When these businesses do hire additional employees 47% plan to recruit locally with 59% indicating they benefit from access to skilled college graduates.
Michigan universities are doing a good job of preparing graduates, according to the survey, with 60% of those surveyed acknowledging that graduates are business-ready with strengths in technical and critical thinking skills. More than a third of executives also indicated that they benefit from access to Michigans research universities.
As in previous years, a majority of executives, 75%, agreed that shifting the Michigan economy, from one that is manufacturing-based to knowledge-based, is necessary for the States long-term success. These executives also believe in Michigan, with nine out of ten of them planning to remain located in the state for the next 12 months.

Animal Species:Black Flying-fox
Black Flying-foxes are the largest species of flying-fox in Australia. They can fly at 35 - 40 kilometres per hour and may travel over 50 kilometres from their camp to a feeding area. They often share their camps with other flying-fox species.
Standard Common Name
Black Flying-fox
Black Flying-foxes are found high on the branches of trees. They roost in groups of up to many thousands of bats, called camps. Camps are found in mangroves, paperbark swamps or patches of rainforest.
Feeding and Diet
Black Flying-foxes eat the pollen and nectar of blossoms of eucalypts, paperbarks and turpentine trees. They also feed on other flowers and fruit, including introduced and commercial fruits like mangoes.
Economic/social impacts
Black Flying-foxes are vulnerable to loss of feeding areas from clearing of native vegetation and land degradation from agriculture.

If your wrists get really sore, you don't need a new keyboard or mouse, you need to learn proper wrist posture. Too many people who work on computers all day end up with tendonitis, carpal tunnel, or nerve issues because they don't realize the weird angle their hands fall into for hours at a time.
A seemingly innocent twisting of your wrists to either the right (ulnar deviation) or to the left (radial deviation). Maybe you are simply moving your cursor around from left to right or hitting one of the many outlier keys like enter, backspace, delete or tab. Maybe you plant your wrists on a wrist rest or mouse rest and the only way to move your mouse or reach outlier keys is to twist at the wrist.
The fix might be awkward for a day or two, but you'll notice the absence of pain immediately.
Get off your wrist rest, lie your mouse on something flat like a mouse pad and move your whole hand and arm together, relax the grip on your mouse and voila, you'll be on your way to being pain free and avoid future troubles.
Read the rest from Vivienne Fleischer here.
LinkedIn founder Reid Hoffman famously said, "If you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late." Failure isn't fatal, yet many creatives get caught up trying achieve perfection, often at the expense of innovation.
The author of Reinventing You: Define Your Brand, Imagine Your Future, Dorie Clark, urges us to stop believing that we have to be perfect:
Innovation of any sort entails risk and trying new things — and that mandates failure. A 100% success rate implies you're not doing anything new at all… It's not so much that you're creating something (such as a product or service) that failed; it's that you're steadily improving a series of drafts.
Recognize that innovation requires failure. As paradoxical as it may seem: if you're failing, you're doing something right.
According to Creativity For Sale author Jason Surfrapp, "90% of people are afraid to ask for things." True or not, he's dead on about the fact that we don't get what we don't ask for — including the raise, the sale, or even the date. But simply asking for what we want isn't enough. In a piece on Inc., Surfrapp suggests that asks be made with creativity, confidence, and effort:
Creativity: When it comes to selling something online, your product or service most likely has competition. Someone else is already asking people to buy, so that alone should give you the validation and confidence to ask. But, you should also think about a unique or creative way you can package your ask so it stands out from the crowd.
Confidence: When it comes to relationships, confidence is key. No one wants to talk to, let alone go on a date with, someone who has zero confidence. But just like asking for things, the more you work to build your confidence and the more practice you put in, the more results you'll see.
Effort: No one has ever put in an insane amount of effort for something and not gotten some value out of it. The more you ask for things, in the right ways, the better you'll get at it. And the better you get at asking, the amount of times you hear "yes" will increase.
Here's your challenge: decide to make an ask (one that you've been avoiding or too afraid to bring up) and do it in a creative, confident way that shows effort. Then repeat.
We've all been to the notorious status meeting, where in a round-robin fashion everyone says what they're working on. According to research by Atlassian, you're highly likely to daydream during this meeting, do other work during this meeting or just miss it entirely.
Author of Read This Before Our Next Meeting, Al Pittampalli, suggests that in an effort to skip the status meeting and get right to work, that we kill the status meeting altogether, and only have meetings that support a decision that has already been made:
If a decision maker needs advisement pre-decision, he should get it from others via one-on-one conversations. Only after a preliminary decision is made can a meeting be convened. A meeting might be necessary for either of two reasons:
Conflict: The relevant stakeholders can debate the decision, propose alternatives, suggest modifications, or have concerns addressed. The decision is ultimately resolved.
Coordination: If a decision demands complex collaboration from different people, teams or departments, stakeholders can convene to coordinate an action plan.
In an interview with Explore Create Repeat, graphic designer Adam J. Kurtz talks about the importance of having a side project:
I do think it's important for everyone to do "things" on the side. Regardless of your chosen profession, career, or job, I hope that everyone enjoys other hobbies and activities and hopefully you have the resources to take them as far as you'd like to. If you love baking, bake a whole lot of cakes sometime and Instagram that sh*t. If you're super knowledgeable about pizza and love bringing friends to your favorite spots (like Scott Wiener, who I met recently) then maybe you start a pizza tour.
For makers, side projects are not about generating extra money or developing new skills, they simply cannot stop creating. For Kurtz, making stuff is his life, his therapy and his hobby. It's a way to experiment and combine multiple interests without an end in mind. When you work full-time in a creative field, sometimes you need to be reminded about the joys of simply creating. Kurtz reminds us that "everyone can do anything, we just forget."
What's the secret to good business? "Create more value than you capture," says Tim O'Reilly, the entrepreneur and deep thinker behind O'Reilly Media.
A key figure in the rise of the open-source and maker movements, O'Reilly knows a thing or two about launching world-changing ideas. That's why we interviewed him for our new book, Make Your Mark.
Here's a glimpse of O'Reilly's take on how creatives can build businesses that really make an impact:
Where do you think great business ideas come from?
Innovation starts with enthusiasts. The reason why it starts with enthusiasts is that they are focused on the right priority, which is the change they want to make in the world, versus say, a business idea that will get funded. Their perspective is: How cool would it be if we could all have our own computers? How cool would it be if I could put up information for free on the Internet and anybody could access it? How cool would it be if I could build an assistive robot for my grandmother?
What should entrepreneurs be thinking about if they really want to make an impact?
Aaron Levie of Box tweeted something great about Uber recently. He said, "Uber is a $3.5 billion lesson in building for how the world should work instead of optimizing for how the world does work."
Being able to see the world in a fresh way is the essence of being an entrepreneur. You have an idea about the way the world ought to be. You have a theory about why and how you are going to connect the dots.

So you want to build make some connections in your creative community? Fantastic. But if your first instinct is to attend a networking event and distribute business cards, think again – traditional networking aka "dirty networking" actually makes people feel physically dirty and is an ineffective way of making a name for yourself.
Building social currency is about being honest and authentic, and showing that you value others. In their Social Capital Building Toolkit, Harvard University researchers Thomas H. Sander and Kathleen Lowney, share some high impact and more natural ways to build social capital, including:
Food/Celebrations. ie. host a start-up open house or celebrate your agency's anniversary.
Joint activity around common interest or hobby. ie. organize a team of friends or colleagues and play agency ball.
Doing a favor for another. ie. help another company move into their new office or volunteer space for a meetup.
Discussion of community issues. ie. talk about poor trash pickup or organize a town-hall about bike lanes.
Undertaking joint goal. ie. create a meetup or collaborate on bringing an event to your city.
Intentional relationship building ("one on ones"). ie. set up coffee dates with people you want to know.
To enjoy all the benefits of social currency, you first have to build it. Then be patient and let your relationships mature organically.

Helping Make the Invisible Visible with Socialytics
Short Takes...on Analytics
|Posted by John Hagel, Deloitte Consulting LLP
By now, you're probably familiar with "social graphs," the visual representation of how individuals are connected online. Popular social networks use social graphs to represent our personal connections. While social graphs are interesting visualizations, they don't tell us much in the way of practical business information.
On the other hand, social analytics – or socialytics – is the integration of social software and big data analytics to create insight from unstructured information. Beyond the social graph, socialytics can identify patterns that can inform and drive business decisions. Making an early home in marketing, where teams use socialytics to monitor social media content and gauge customer sentiment, the future of social analytics has a broader application across – and outside of – the enterprise.
What kinds of patterns can socialytics identify from an enterprise perspective? Take the recent internal analysis performed by Deloitte Australia on the early promise of social network analysis. Deloitte researchers used an advanced SONAR analytics tool in an analysis of data generated from a six-month study of internal social networks, email, web and phone interactions from 6,000 employees. They were looking at team performance in the context of a professional services organization, evaluating things like win rates, revenue per consultant, utilization rate, churn rate and so on.
Prior to the study, management believed that the highest performing teams were those tightly- integrated units that had worked together consistently over a long period of time. However, the results of the study showed that while the highest performing teams had reasonable interaction and integration within the team, they were very highly integrated outside of the team as well. In other words, high performing teams had a high number of connections beyond the team.
Socialytics in this case shifted the view of leadership about what kinds of working teams achieved the model level of performance. Where insulated teams were once viewed as focused and productive, the new information highlighted the risks of becoming too tightly integrated, insular and closed off from outside knowledge and innovation.
We have typically known that patterns of interaction are highly relevant to how we perform in business. But with socialytics, we can systematically track what kinds of interactions lead to high performance and what kinds don't. In The Power of Pull, I discuss the growing shift from protecting knowledge assets to participating in knowledge flows. Success can increasingly depend upon our availability to participate effectively in a diverse set of knowledge flows. By participating fully and socially and applying socialytics to create connected outcomes, we have the opportunity reimagine relationships and make the invisible visible.
Have you applied socialytics in your business? Can you see applications where new insights might be uncovered?

Economic opportunity
Markets, whether large or small, keep communities thriving. But conflicts, disasters and a lack of infrastructure can prevent people from conducting the daily transactions on which all growth and progress depend. Around the world, Mercy Corps discovers why commerce is stuck.
In some places, manufacturers need loans to purchase equipment and young people desire job skills. In others, key transportation routes to market must be rebuilt or farmers require better storage to keep their inventory fresh until sold.
Our economic development projects provide financing, equipment, training or technical support. These projects help people find jobs, build their businesses, supply their communities with the goods they need —and improve their lives.

Top 10 Tech Trends for 2013
The latest gadgets aren't just for early adopters. This year's exciting new products debuting at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) from supercharged glasses to nearly break-proof phones promise to be more advanced, connected, and user-friendly than ever.
By Rachel Rothman
Indestructible Phones
Live in fear of cracking your smartphone on the pavement? We spotted prototypes of flexible screens at CES this year! These bendable displays are less likely to break. New, next generation Gorilla Glass 3 also promises to be even more resilient against scratches. Even cooler? A company called Liquipel demonstrated nano-technology that coats phones to make them water resistant. And all new models may seen be able to benefit from 5G, which promises improved range, better battery performance, higher data capacity, and faster speeds.

Prime Cuts: Dimebag Darrell Chooses His 12 Favorite Tunes in 1993 Guitar World Feature
November 14, 2013 at 1:40pm
What about any Plaid album song by Blues Saraceno, Dime wore a plaid patch tattoo in honor of the guy.
July 18, 2013 at 1:30pm
20 years later, this is still a killer list of songs.
Many of these songs were very influential on those of us that grew up in the 70's and 80's.
July 13, 2013 at 8:28pm
Dime was really something else, when it came to metal guitar. I've always been a fan of Tony Iommi, Randy Rhodes, and a lot of others, but Dimebag Darrell could pick up a Dean, plug into some Randall amps, and put out a sound that was pure Metal. Even in his earlier days, you could tell that he was super talented. Miss him, and what he could of accomplished today.
July 12, 2013 at 10:26pm
What a cool mf-er Dime was! He took bits and pieces from all the best players and morphed it all into his own wicked style and became one of the greatest guitarists, eclipsing most of the guys he "learned" from.
Like most, I'll never get over the way he was taken. The only solace is that he was doing what he loved and was born to do.
R.I.P., Darrell - your unique talent and brotherly persona will never allow you to be forgotten.
June 21, 2013 at 2:33pm
I love that you added the thirteenth song, very Black Sabbath of you ;)

Rowan Medical upgrades inpatient pharmacy
SALISBURY — Novant Health Rowan Medical Center has upgraded the hospital's inpatient pharmacy, which administers close to 3,000 medication doses each day.
Located within a secure area of Rowan Medical, the inpatient pharmacy now has double the square footage of its previous space, providing more room for new and upgraded equipment to mix, compound and store vital medications, spokeswoman Falon Nye said.
The new space also improves workflow for the pharmacy employees who staff the department around the clock to support patient care, Nye said.
Dr. Carla Kennedy, manager of the inpatient pharmacy, joined Rowan Medical in June. Kennedy previously worked at Iredell Memorial Hospital, leading the pharmacy operations of the Statesville hospital.
As a Rowan County resident and former Rowan Memorial Hospital employee, Kennedy is excited to come "home" to Rowan Medical to lead the pharmacy operations, Fye said.
Kennedy earned a bachelor of science pharmacy degree from UNC-Chapel Hill and doctor of pharmacy degree from the University of Florida. She has more than 25 years of experience.
The pharmacy team is focusing on initiatives that streamline medication dispensing at the hospital and support nursing functions to provide more care at the bedside for patients, Fye said.

Canton City has been open in Lafayette since the late 1970s, making it one of the first truly ethnic (non-Cajun) restaurants in the Hub City or in Acadiana. At a time when it seemed that truly exotic fare for this area was putting tomatoes in gumbo, Canton City opened and for the first time locals could try dishes like mandarin duck, chop suey and hunan-style dishes. It was originally located in the old La Promenade Mall at Johnston and Roselawn; the mall burned to the ground several years ago.
Open since 1977, Canton City has been a classic local place, a go-to for diehard fans of Chinese dishes. It is located at 3901 Johnston Street and will be open its regular hours, for both lunch and dinner, seven days a week until the final wontons are hoisted from the deep fryer.
A phone call to Canton City revealed that the owners were set to retire and this seemed like the best time.

After the season's signature win (so far), here are some helpful tips for Cajun Nation during the conference stretch.
OCT 20 The Globe and Mail, a Canadian paper, has posted its story on Louisiana's coastal loss here. In it, author Omar El Akkad clarifies it neatly: it's "a battle between prosperity and the planet's well-being." Are jobs and money worth the trade we're making? As Jonathan Foret says in the story, Mother Nature may come and answer that question for us.
OCT 20 Remember those great posts from blogger Jason Brad Berry that featured emails and letters related to the BP claims process? Well, apparently Patrick Juneau (who was featured, but not in a positive way, in those documents) ordered a background check on Berry because of it, this story in Louisiana Record says. Huh?
OCT 20 The Washington Post and ABC ran a poll on several issues here, but of course the presidential fields are most interesting. Hillary Clinton has commanding numbers on the D side, and Mitt Romney is leading the R side, with 21 percent. He's followed by Jeb Bush, with 11 percent, and 12 other guys polling in single digits. Bobby Jindal brings up the rear with 2 percent, with only John Kasich and Scott Walker polling worse.
OCT 20 Here's the Wall Street Journal's look at the Edwin Edwards campaign. As usual, EWE comes across as affable and likeable, and the other politicians quoted come across as shrill and unpleasant.
OCT 20 Blogger Tom Aswell quotes two former Commissioners of Administration in this post, both of whom are not impressed with the magical surplus that current COA Kristy Nichols and her boss, Bobby Jindal, have found. There's some pretty interesting detail here about the origin of these magic beans.
OCT 20 Blogger Robert Mann paints a pretty amusing (or alarming, depending on your point of view) picture of how DOA Kristy Nichols and Gov. Bobby Jindal came up with the "balanced" budget they revealed last week. An unbalanced budget would blow a hole in Jindal's "already dim presidential hopes," Mann says.
OCT 18 Columnist James Gill tells a sordid tale of a Port Allen judge facing sanctions -- shortly after he was re-elected without opposition. District Judge J. Robin Free accepted a free ride on the private jet of an attorney who had just one a big case in his court, and also failed to recuse himself from a class-action case in which his mom was a potential plaintiff, Gill says.
OCT 20 The blogger known as Crazy Crawfish is writing about Superintendent John White in this post, taking issue with White's claim that it is only pockets of isolated "troublemakers" who are opposed to Common Core in Louisiana. Gosh, Johnny, that's the best you can come up with? That's not even original.
OCT 17 Here's a weird one on WVUE from investigative reporter Lee Zurik. In it, he's quoting a guy who was in a car accident and filed suit against the other guy who (he says) caused it and is responsible for a lot of medical bills. What's weird is what he was told by his lawyer (whom he recorded -- Huh?)
OCT 17 Here's another document from the BP claims library that was delivered anonymously to blogger Jason Brad Berry. It is written on what appears to be BP stationery and is directed to Patrick Juneau. In it, the BP guy complains about a $14 million bill for an audit BP has never seen, as well as a conflict between Juneau's "public boasts of transparency" and the manner in which he has really operated.
OCT 17 Bobby Jindal's poll numbers still stink in Iowa, this post on the Bloomberg Politics blog says. A recent poll found him tied with Ohio Gov. John Kasich with 1 percent, trailing Cruz, Perry, Christie, Rubio, Bush, Walker and a partridge in a pear tree.

Leaving a career in the technology sector, Crist began Odds & Ends earlier this year. A mobile and versatile service-providing company, Odds & Ends specializes in the areas of senior and pet care for working professionals.
"I've spent the last 28 years of my life in the technology profession as a project manager for systems in the supply chain and manufacturing areas," Crist said. "I spent a lot of time away from home, on the road away from family. Especially in the last few years, I realized that's just not really where my heart is. That, combined with my mother, who lives in town, she's getting older, needs a little more care. I wanted to be closer to her and closer to my family. So I thought, maybe there are other folks like me traveling, out of town, that can't care for their pets or family and could use a helping hand.
"It's about not being there when you'd like to be and when you get that call from your mom saying, 'Hey, can you help me, this isn't working.' Or, 'I don't feel well. I need to go to the doctor,' and I'm over in South Carolina and I can't get to her as quickly as I like. It's definitely stressful and there's some guilt there."
Feeling the need to help out at home, Crist began helping her mom with everyday needs and coupled those services with her own love for animals to create Odds & Ends.
"Odds & Ends sort of has two sides to the business. One side is the senior-services side, it's sort of concierge-type services, transportation to and from medical appointments or other appointments — a hair salon for example — work around the house, yard work, cutting grass, light housekeeping, help with computers, running errands, grocery shopping, cooking meals — whatever they need," Crist said. "If you have some sort of special need, just talk to me, I'd certainly like to discuss that. The other side of the business is pet care, dog walking, kitty sitting, litter box cleanup, and all the things that goes along with that, feeding and care."
As her first customer, Crist's mother, Marta Kudriczy, is proud of what her daughter is doing and has confidence in her ability to help others. Kudriczy is Hungarian and was forced from her home as the Russian army advanced through Eastern Europe. She knows her family has suffered because of the communist party and is proud of what her daughters have accomplished despite adversity.
"She will do very well," Kudriczy said. "She went through an awful lot, just the family she's from. I was 16 when I lost everything in Hungary and we had to run for our lives when communist Russia took it over and we were in Austria in a displaced-persons camp for five years until we were allowed to come to this country. Now, Linda was born here, although my oldest daughter was born in Austria, but nothing was ever easy and she always helped. She started working when she was 16 because I needed help.
"All my kids worked, but she was always a good kid and is a sweet lady. ... She helps me a lot, takes me to the doctor — whatever I need."
Kudriczy overcame her refugee status and retired after a career in international banking with a company which would later become part of J.P. Morgan Chase. Likewise, she sees her daughter succeeding in the pursuit of her dreams and is hopeful for her future.
Crist too is excited for future growth, but her attention for now is focused on Bartow County and the surrounding counties.
"I quit my full-time job, working part time for now as I transition," Crist said. "It's a complete change. It's very exciting. It's a little scary, but most of it is exciting. It feels so right. I feel very strongly about doing this. I have no doubts and no regrets about doing this.
"I really want to get to know people, get involved with the community and give back. ... It's a very personal business. I'm not in it to make a million bucks, I'm just in it to help out and be closer to the people I care about."
Odds & Ends is licensed and insured and Crist has undergone a background check for prospective clients to inspect. For more information, visit www.seniorsandpets.com or call 770-655-3612.

Man wants to know what caused single car accident in Spencer, police won't say until after funerals
Derrick Williams describes the single vehicle accident that killed his 8-year-old niece Taliah Williams and five others Friday as overwhelming.
I just dont understand what happened, he said Tuesday. Its hard to believe. Its hard to grasp.
When my mother called to tell me about it, I automatically just hit the floor.
Williams said he wants to know what caused the black SUV to go out of control and crash into a tree while traveling on South Rowan Avenue in Spencer on Friday.
But investigators dont plan to release that information until after the funerals, Spencer Police Chief Michael James said Tuesday.
The crash claimed the lives of driver Angela Dunlap, 28; Vincent Eugene McNeal, 45; Sean Javen Jacobs, 25; DaJa Cathcart, 10; Taliah Williams, 8; and Karizma Nichole Sexton, 4.
Were going to let everybody get through the funerals, to get through the grieving process, James said. By then, hopefully Ill have the toxicology report as well as the accident reconstruction.
Right now, its difficult to know till we see the toxicology reports and everything.
James told a Post reporter he suspects the car, which caught on fire after striking the tree, was traveling faster than the posted 30 mph speed limit, but he wont know for sure until the Salisbury Police Department completes the accident reconstruction.
Williams said his brother, Larry Williams, has been devastated by the loss of his daughter, Taliah, and has barely left his twin 6-year-old sons Davion and Javion Williams since they were hospitalized.
My brother loves his children so much, he said. Our family is trying to be strong and keep holding him up right now.
Williams said Taliah was conscious and breathing on her own when she first arrived at Brenner Childrens Hospital in Winston-Salem, but her condition went downhill from there.
When they hooked her up to the machines, they saw her brain activity was fading, he said. Things just dramatically changed. ... They ended up having to put her on life support.
Taliahs brain activity never improved.
She was brain dead, so we took her off life support, he said.
Williams said Taliah was just as sweet as she could be.
She loved her daddy so much, he said. She looked at him as a superhero.
Williams said Javion also sustained a brain injury and remains unconscious, but his prognosis is good.
Hes got brain activity, and hes starting to move a little bit, he said. Its taking a little more time, but hes coming around slowly. Hes still holding on.
Davion sustained a broken leg and hip during the accident, but Williams said hes doing fine.
Hes awake, drinking Sprite and watching television, he said.
Williams said family members are taking turns staying at the hospital with Larry until the twins are released.
We know my brother is not going to leave that hospital until those kids go home, he said.

Candid conversation with Gavin Newsom on sports, politics and community
SAN FRANCISCO — Even now, nearly seven years after experiencing a sports-obsessed politician's worst football nightmare, Gavin Newsom can't bring himself to look at John York's Field of Dreams.
When Newsom, California's progressive, popular and sometimes polarizing lieutenant governor, drives past the San Francisco 49ers' future home in Santa Clara, he shields his eyes from a resplendent facility that is set to open next summer. The symbolic weight of Levi's Stadium is still too much to bear for the former San Francisco mayor, who lost both the team he loved and a chance to bid for the 2016 Summer Olympics when Niners owner John York set his sights on the Silicon Valley.
So, while Newsom is pragmatic enough to herald the NFL's announcement in May that Super Bowl L will be staged in the stadium in early 2016, he still gives the joint the invisibility treatment as he cruises up or down U.S. Highway 101.
Aaron Hernandez's arrest, release could lead to end of Patriots' run of excellence
It began, chillingly, with a traumatic injury that could have turned tragic: Franchise quarterback Drew Bledsoe was rushed to the hospital after suffering a sheared blood vessel in a 2001 game at Foxborough Stadium, and Tom Brady came in and spurred the New England Patriots to a prolonged run of excellence.
Did it end, symbolically, with Wednesday's disquieting arrest of discarded Pats tight end Aaron Hernandez on a murder charge?
Surely, it is far too early to draw that conclusion. Yet as Hernandez sits in a jail cell for what prosecutors allege was the cold-blooded execution of a former associate — and the Patriots try to move forward from perhaps the darkest chapter in franchise history — it's not unfair to wonder whether an era has ended.Sun, Nov 21:25 PM PSTDenver at New EnglandPreview Game
Ray Lewis' tale of redemption provides glimmer of hope for Aaron Hernandez after arrest
The last time the New England Patriots played a football game, their fans at Gillette Stadium were unwilling witnesses to the penultimate act of pro football's greatest redemption story.
As Ray Lewis celebrated the Baltimore Ravens' 28-13 AFC championship game victory over the Patriots, and the future Hall of Fame linebacker prepared to head to New Orleans for the Super Bowl triumph that would cap his legendary career, it was a stark reminder that dramatic turnarounds are possible.
Bill Belichick accepts the Tim Tebow challenge
Bill Belichick threw Tim Tebow a lifeline Monday, giving the disenfranchised football icon a spot on the New England Patriots' roster and, in the process, making a certain Y! Sports columnist (and a knowledgeable organizational source) appear dead wrong in public, which is always an awesome sensation.
As the journalist who a month ago quoted that source as saying Belichick "hates" Tebow as a player – a contention Belichick strongly disputed last Friday – I'm tempted to call Tebow's agent and ask for a cut of the signing bonus. After all, my column urged NFL teams to give Tebow a chance, and if Belichick's desire to spite me ended up producing that outcome, I'm happy to have played a role in extending the kid's NFL career.
Wes Welker finally able to be himself as member of the Denver Broncos
Unlike the conversations he had with reporters during his six-year stint with the New England Patriots – whose coach, Bill Belichick, scrutinizes his players' public comments with NSA-like zeal – Welker felt no urgency to walk the line between bland and unrevealing.
"I feel like I can be myself a little more for sure," said Welker, who signed a two-year, $12-million deal with the Broncos on March 13, a day after becoming an unrestricted free agent. Asked if he'd received any pre-interview lectures about what subjects to avoid, Welker laughed and said, "Here? No. … All they told me was, 'Just be yourself.' "
Long regarded in player circles as one of the funnier, edgier NFL stars, Welker may finally reveal that to fans after six years of mostly pent-up plainness. Indeed, the switch from playing with one future Hall of Fame quarterback (Tom Brady) to another (Peyton Manning) may not be nearly as jolting as the shift in organizational climate – or, to borrow from Jimmy Buffett: (and, in this case, farewell to platitudes).
Peyton Manning 'felt like a rookie in some ways' during comeback season with Broncos
While the physical struggles Manning experienced in returning to the field following four neck surgeries and a 19-month absence have been well-documented, the quarterback's transition to a new city, team, coaching staff, system and set of teammates was a similarly jarring endeavor, one he managed to navigate with far less fanfare.
The transition was so overwhelming that Manning, who has always regarded his penchant for impeccably detailed preparation as his greatest edge, had to adopt a less stringent standard in the name of self-preservation. That he thrived so conspicuously in the process, putting up one of the best statistical seasons of his phenomenal career while leading the Broncos to an AFC-best 13-3 record, earned him Comeback Player of the Year honors and a second-place finish in the MVP balloting, as the NFL's only four-time winner of that award was edged by Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson.
Raiders owner Mark Davis puts GM, rest of staff on notice with firing of PR head
Because this happened as May turned to June – and because so many consumers have an insatiable appetite for NFL-related happenings – it qualified as a nationally relevant story, with the added intrigue of a certain Yahoo! Sports columnist having his sentiments redeemed on a widely read pro-football-obsessed website.
Understandably, many fans have since questioned why a firing that has industry insider written all over it should be assigned any relevance, particularly to an already frustrated fan base pining for its first winning season in more than a decade.
I'm here to tell you why, as a member of Raider Nation or as an NFL fan in general, you should care why Zak Gilbert got the axe.
While Davis is easy to criticize, and seems to be living down to the Tommy Boy nickname I bestowed upon him after the 2011 season, he is the boss, and I can somewhat sympathize with the frustrations that may have triggered this transaction.
Offseason additions spark Dolphins players, GM Jeff Ireland to predict great 2013 season
As a ninth-year veteran who has yet to experience a winning NFL season, Richie Incognito views offseason hype with the same eye-rolling dismissive demeanor that most voters reserve for politicians vowing to end the gridlock in Washington.
While it seems as though virtually every other member of the Miami Dolphins' organization has conspicuously talked up the team's 2013 prospects over the past two months, the Pro Bowl guard prefers an approach more consistent with his surname.
"Yeah, I have noticed that everyone's looking through rosy-colored glasses," Incognito says. "It's a combination of things: We got more talent. We have our starting quarterback set. Our coaches and coordinators are back for another year. And we've got a good foundation here, and we work our asses off.
New Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer feels reborn in the desert
TEMPE, Ariz. – Carson Palmer didn't see the safety coming, zipping a pass into the right flat that was destined to end up in the wrong man's hands toward the end of a two-minute drill. The accompanying rebuke from Bruce Arians, the Arizona Cardinals' first-year coach? That was easy to read.
"We can't have that," Arians growled after an errant Palmer throw during organized team activities (OTAs) earlier this week, accentuating his sentiment with a couple of choice expletives. Palmer, the Cards' newly acquired starting quarterback, nodded dutifully and kept smiling on the inside.
It's only May, but Palmer is thrilled with his third and perhaps final incarnation as a presumptive franchise quarterback, and nothing is going to stomp on his buzz. Seven weeks after the Oakland Raiders shipped the 33-year-old passer to the desert for a pair of late-round draft picks, the NFL's version of CP3 begins each workday with the giddy excitement of a kid rushing to the tree on Christmas morning.Sun, Nov 210:00 AM PSTArizona at DallasPreview Game
Bears LB Brian Urlacher's retirement forced in part by blow to pride
Brian Urlacher said "Peace out" to pro football Wednesday, ending an iconic 13-year career that will absolutely lead to a bronze bust in Canton at the end of this decade.
In responding to a chillier-than-a-Windy-City-winter market for his services, I believe the great linebacker was, in essence, making another two-word statement to the NFL's 32 franchises, this one of the unprintable variety.
Did you really expect Urlacher to go out any other way? Does it make sense that a fierce competitor, who once told me that after a game "win or lose I'm up all night" in a self-flagellating stupor, would let his storied career bleed itself to an undignified conclusion?
While Urlacher may well have arrived at this decision after considering a multitude of personal factors — including, most important, the state of his body, which has more cause to be broken down than virtually any other skeletomuscular structure that has worn a football uniform this century — a business-driven blow to his pride clearly pushed him in this direction.

Hello, I've heard great things about both the Canon S95 and S100 models, not keen on the touch display of the S110 though (which is also outside my budget). Bear in mind I wouldn't even consider myself an amateur photographer, as I just use a camera casually for days out, family occasions, etc. Are used cameras the only option if I need an S95 or S100 (as they are discontinued), and yes I do want to avoid grey imports.
My budget would be £270 new for either (if non-grey imports, UK models, are still available new anywhere) - I've only found an S100 one through John Lewis at £279.99 though I'm not a fan of the colour in this one. Is used a good route to go, if this is the case my budget would be say £170 for one of the two models in excellent condition.
