Marshall beats Houston, keeps bowl hopes
HUNTINGTON — Marshall University's football team is still alive for bowl eligibility, but barely.
The Thundering Herd got a career-long 45-yard field goal by Justin Haig with seven seconds left to take a 44-41 win over Houston in front of 18,831 spectators Saturday at Joan C. Edwards Stadium.
Haig's field goal came after Marshall got a third-down stop to force Houston into a game-tying field goal by Matt Hogan after the Cougars had battled back from a large deficit.
Marshall led, 38-17 with 2:29 left in the third quarter, but Houston scored 21 straight points behind quarterback Crawford Jones to knot the game 38-38.
Jones hit Deontay Greenberry on a 7-yard touchdown pass with 10:47 left in the game to set up the frantic finish.
It didn't appear a tight finish was on the horizon as Marshall (5-6, 4-3 Conference USA) took a 21-point lead late in the third following a 5-yard touchdown run by Rakeem Cato.
Cato finished the game 32 of 50 passing for 377 yards and three touchdowns as the Thundering Herd rolled up 665 yards of total offense.
Running back Kevin Grooms finished with a career-high 155 rushing yards on 21 carries.
Jones completed 31 of 44 passes for 316 yards and five touchdowns for Houston (4-7, 3-5), who was eliminated from being eligible for a bowl game.
Jones had three touchdown passes in a seven-minute stretch to knot the game. In addition to the pass from Grandberry, he hit Xavier Maxwell on a 58-yard bubble screen for a score after hitting Shane Ross for a 19-yard score late in the third quarter.
Ros' touchdown catch came after a big kickoff return for the Cougars, who threw back across the field and caught the Herd outmanned after Marshall squibbed the kickoff.
Marshall's offense clicked from the game's onset, racking up 383 yards en route to a 31-10 halftime lead.
The most dynamic play came on its final drive of the first half when Cato scrambled out of pressure to keep a play alive before throwing a lateral to Grooms.
Grooms followed by making a first man miss, reversing field and essentially setting up his blockers down the sideline for a 69-yard touchdown run.
Prior to that, Cato had found success both short and long. Following a pump-and-go, Cato finally found the deep ball he's been looking for, hitting Davonte Allen on a 46-yard touchdown pass to make it 24-7 after Houston had gotten on the board with a 3-yard scoring pass from Jones to Ros.
Jones started for the Cougars in place of David Piland, the conference's second-leading passer behind Cato. Piland missed practice earlier in the week because of a leg injury.
With Piland out, Houston had trouble moving the ball early in the contest. The Herd defense forced Houston to punt on its first five drives with four of those drives being three-and-outs.
The defensive presence enabled Marshall to jump out to a 17-0 lead early in the second quarter.
Cato hit senior Antavious Wilson on a 19-yard touchdown pass on the opening drive of the game — the first time Marshall has scored on the opening drive since the Ohio game on Sept. 15.
After a 23-yard field goal by Haig made it 10-0, Cato hit Tommy Shuler on a 5-yard touchdown pass with 9:11 left in the second quarter to make it a three-score game.
Shuler caught nine passes for 105 yards.

Monday's game was the first of five scheduled this week for the Jones County varsity, including a game at Warner Robins on Tuesday, makeup games at home against Luella on Wednesday and Upson-Lee on Thursday, and another home game against Northside-Warner Robins on Friday.
A lack of timely hitting was the theme in all of the losses, with the Greyhounds collecting only four hits in each setback – 3-0 at Northside last Tuesday, 12-11 at Dublin last Wednesday and at Houston County on Monday. They did manage eight hits in their only victory last week, a 7-6 squeaker over Jackson at home on Thursday.
Jones County coach Barry Veal was not happy with the way his team was swinging the bat last week, but he said Monday's game at Houston was not as bad.
"We actually swung the bats better, hit the ball hard but right at people," he said. "We put ourselves in a position to win, and that's all you can ask against a team like that."

Arizona Cardinals
Jay Gruden interviews for Arizona Cardinals head coaching position
TEMPE -- The Arizona Cardinals' search for a head coach is ongoing, and Thursday the team interviewed Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden for the vacant position.
"It was exciting," Gruden told the media following the interview. "It was great to meet Mr. Bidwill and his brother and of course the whole process has been exciting -- it's my first time going through it obviously and I'm very excited about it."
Gruden just finished up his second season as the Bengals' offensive mastermind, and talked about his decision to shun interview opportunities a year ago.
"The Brown family gave me an opportunity to be an offensive coordinator and I didn't want to jump ship after the first phone call," Gruden said. "I wanted to go in there and see Andy Dalton progress another year and see A.J. Green progress another year and see what we could do."
What the Bengals did with Gruden's help was qualify for the NFL playoffs for the second straight season -- something Cincinnati has done only once before in its 45-year existence. But Gruden didn't take the credit for that accomplishment.
"It's a great situation in Cincinnati," he said. "But I still feel like we underachieved a little bit on offense and we have to do a lot better up there. But to even be thought of as a head coach candidate is a great honor and I appreciate the Bidwills taking a chance."
Gruden doesn't have any NFL head coaching experience, but he has been the top man in two other leagues. In the Arena Football League, Gruden guided the Orlando Predators for nine seasons, compiling a 93-61 record and winning two league championships. He also served as the head coach of the Florida Tuskers in the United Football League in 2010, but didn't use those experiences as proof that he's ready to be a head coach in the NFL.
"Probably not a lot," Gruden responded when asked how NFL teams should value his AFL coaching experience. "Other than the fact that I had to deal with salary caps, I had to deal with flights, I had to deal with hotels, I had to deal with a guy's pregnant wife or whatever. There's a lot of issues you have to deal with when you have 27 guys -- now there's 53 guys and a lot more assistants, but there's always those issues you have to deal with.
"If you can manage people and coach them up and get them to play hard and work hard for you, then you've got a chance, no matter what profession you're in."
Of course, the 900-pound gorilla in the room for any head coaching candidate that comes to town to meet with the Cardinals is the quarterback situation. The team went through four starting quarterbacks for the first time in franchise history and that alone had a lot to do with their dismal 5-11 record.
"There are a lot of teams looking for quarterbacks right now like Tom Brady, and there's not many of them out there," Gruden said. "It's important to try to develop somebody you have in-house or continue to look for a quality, top-notch guy and if you don't have that guy, then you have to develop the skill-set the guys you have have."
Of course, that's not something that Gruden has to worry about just yet. He's only talked with the Cardinals at this point and confirmed that his agent has scheduled an interview with the Philadelphia Eagles next week.

Rumor: Apple working on wearable iPod with Siri control
According to the NYT, Apple is rumored to be testing wearable iPod-like devices that fit around your wrist and are controlled not by touch, but with your voice using Siri.
Apple has also experimented with prototype products that could relay information back to the iPhone. These conceptual products could also display information on other Apple devices, like an iPod, which Apple is already encouraging us to wear on our wrists by selling Nanos with watch faces. [...] One idea being discussed is a curved-glass iPod that would wrap around the wrist; people could communicate with the device using Siri, the company's artificial intelligence software.
Apple previously experimented with a nearly buttonless, voice controlled iPod shuffle but quickly returned to physical controls for the tiny device. Siri, which unlike the older VoiceControl system, currently requires a network connection to properly parse voice queries. Since no iPod other than the iPod touch currently has Wi-Fi, let alone cellular data, that raises the same interesting questions about the future of Siri and the iPod line both.
We've been asking for an iPod nano watch with Bluetooth connectivity for a while now. Perhaps the iPod will work as a tethered link to your iPhone?
Although it may be some time down the road before we actually start to see something like this materialize in Apple's product lines, it's still good to know they're considering ideas like this.

Rumor: Apple working on wearable iPod with Siri control
How about a ComBadge like in Star Trek and instead of Siri we say Computer.
Combadge is a great idea. What guy wants to wear a bracelet?
But you can already wear an iPod nano if you buy one of the many straps/clips/armbands/necklaces etc and they all work very well. The device pictured is far bigger than a nano and yet would be far less practical (especially has it has no room for a battery so could not work without an external cabled power source!)
looks cool but unpractical.
this would be taking a step in the direction of skynet and the eyephone(futurama reference)

This is really nice and clean. I live it. Here my 2 bucks, thank you very much!
Currency for iPhone review: Convert between currencies on the go
Currency is a super simple, yet beautiful, currency converter for the iPhone. It features a clean design and historical charts. If you're an avid traveler or have financial interest in other currencies, Currency may be an excellent app to add to your collection.
When I say Currency is simple, I mean it. The main screen is a list of all the currencies you're interested with the primary currency at the top. So if you have 400 USD set for the main currency, the equivalent amounts for the other selected countries will be displayed below. Swiping the main amount to the right will reset the amount back to zero; sliding to the left will go back to your previous amount.
When you tap on the main amount, the keyboard will slide up from the bottom of the screen, or you can manually slide it up yourself. Swiping the keyboard to the left will review the historical data over the past six months for your #2 currency. Ordering your currencies how you want is a bit of chore, however, because they appear in the order tapped. So you if you want USD followed by CAD, then you need to tap CAD to bring it to the top, followed by USD to push CAD down to the second spot.
The good
- Beautiful design
- 160+ currencies
- Offline Mode
- Always up to date
- Simple gesture interface
- Live historical charts
The bad
- No decimals
- Can't reorder currency list
- Not a fan of the fact that the keyboard is never completely hidden (top row is always visible)
The bottom line
Although it can benefit from a few more features, especially decimals and the ability to reorder the list, Currency is a beautiful currency converter and I appreciate its simplicity. There's a lot of potential in this little app.

Currency for iPhone review: Convert between currencies on the go
Currency changes constantly how can it stay up to date when it can operate in an offline mode. When you go to exchange your money at a bank they will check the rate just before make your transaction. Enough with the rant... I do however like the simplicity and design of the app.
Take a look at my Currency+ app for the iPhone and iPad. It has all the features and ease of use that you might be looking for.

Net Smart: How To Thrive Online
In order to thrive online as individuals -- and for the health of the online commons -- we need to understand literacies of attention, crap detection, participation, collaboration, and network awareness. I believe that the critical uncertainty about the future value of the Web depends on whether a sufficient proportion of the population learns these skills. So I've written a book that I want to be well-received by the knowledgeable and given as a gift to the less knowledgeable. Slated for March 2012 publication by MIT Press, I plan to launch the book at SXSWi.

In order to thrive online as individuals -- and for the health of the online commons -- we need to understand literacies of attention, crap detection, participation, collaboration, and network awareness. I believe that the critical uncertainty about the future value of the Web depends on whether a sufficient proportion of the population learns these skills.

Slated for March 2012 publication by MIT Press, I plan to launch the book at SXSWi.
Meet chef, author & television personality Anthony Bourdain and the crew behind the award-winning series Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, who help Tony oversee the show's social media presence.
Tony and his trusted sidekicks will discuss how he utilizes social media —Twitter, Facebook, blogs, et al. — to directly communicate his unique and unfiltered P.O.V. to fans of the show, and to the world at large.
We'll also look at how social media and the digital audience is changing the overall game for TV, and how it directly impacts both the show and how Tony converses with his audience.
From 'LiveTwatting' wrap parties on the road (read: shots of toilets abroad) to propagating food porn online to live-streaming a pub crawl — all is fair game as we present an unprecedented & uncensored behind-the-scenes access to No Reservations.
This panel also includes a Q&A with Tony and crew -- and as always with Tony, nothing is off-limits.Illustration2012
Ever thought about launching your startup with some influencer star power? What exactly do "advisors" do (and not do)? It takes more than a pretty face to pin point a truly smart advisor partnership. The right fit requires on-brand positioning for both the advisor and the start up, which can be harder than it sounds. Once you find that fit, building a mutually beneficial relationship that aligns both party's interests is well worth the hustle it takes to make it happen. Find out how to stand apart from the pack that's courting your ideal high-profile partner. Also learn how equity deals can be structured in the most compelling way, and how to get that "in" to catch the star's attention.Illustration2012

This solo presentation from the founder / CEO of the Austin-based company Stratfor (as well as the author of the best-selling books "The Next 100 Years," "The Next Decade" and "The Future of War") will cover "Pseudo-togetherness" caused by social media and the true lack of solidarity. Friedman's talk will cover our current transition to spending more time speaking to more people (but with less substance), plus future of the human race transcending technology. Using examples with online dating vs the old ways of meeting people, this brilliant thinker will also discuss what society loses in our continuing embrace technology in the context of how we lost body language with the telephone.Illustration2012
Turntable.fm came from out of nowhere to become the most addictive new music service. The success of the service shows how we are entering a stage where owning music as an individual is less important than playing it together as a community. Artists are embracing the service as a way to connect directly with their best fans in a live synchronous environment; Talib Kweli, Diplo, ?uestlove, Manchester Orchestra and Ra Ra Riot have all been seen spinning tracks.
In this fireside chat, we will discuss the evolution of and vision for turntable- how can users, artists, agents, managers, labels and advertisers all participate in and benefit from this social music experience.Illustration2012
As digital music consumption continues to increase, artists and consumers are finding new ways to engage within the digital landscape. Spotify, the leading digital music service, is helping to driving this digital conversation by providing a music discovery and sharing platform which caters to the modern, social consumer, supporting the artist as a engagement tool, and driving increasing revenues back into the music industry. In a fireside chat, Ken Parks, Spotify's Chief Content Officer & U.S. Managing Director and David Draiman, lead singer of Disturbed, will address the future of the music industry and where Spotify and the artist fit into this conversation.Illustration2012

From broadband spectrum to HDTV, from gaming to Hollywood and social media, innovation is happening through industry, entrepreneurs and technology advances. How is consumer electronics driving innovation in the U.S. and abroad – and what role does design play in consumer electronics innovation? Come hear from the head of an organization that represents 2,000 technology companies and produces the International CES Conference – in conversation with a CE innovation and design leader.Illustration2012
Designers of all kinds are key players in the game of change that so typifies the opening decades of the 21st century. Called on to imagine, build, guide, demystify, explain, provoke, enable and inspire, game designers deal daily in the currency of transformation—of places, practices, and perspectives. Play is a key strategy in developing a design practice that is agile enough to entertain a constant need for transformative thinking but substantive enough to throw its strategic weight around when needed. This talk will delve into a set of tasty truisms gleaned from professional game designers about what happens to play when approached from the perspective of learning. What they have to say will both surprise and inform.Illustration2012
The Internet is delivering its next tectonic shift upon society - disruption of the global labor markets. There are 7 billion people in the world, but only 2 billion people on the Internet. The other 5 billion are connecting now, at double and triple digit rates. Remarkably, they live today on around a day or less. The first thing they are looking to do when they connect is raise their standard of living- by finding a job online. This is the vanguard of an economic revolution that is sweeping emerging economies and the developing world. Find out from Matt Barrie, CEO of the world's largest outsourcing marketplace, what this means for society, business and how you live your personal life. Discover how a new entrepreneurial class is arising on both sides of the world as both developing and developed world small business owners serendipitously work together, and find out how YOU can transform YOUR business into a virtual multinational corporation on a shoe string budget!Illustration2012
As social and Internet entrepreneurs search for ways to effect IRL social change by using online tools and platforms, the focus has been on social media. However, while social media has been the Internet's buzzword for some time now, research shows that content consumption actually represents 53% of all time spent online. Given that content takes up most consumers' time on the web, it's time to harness it as the most effective way to drive social change in the real world.Illustration2012
Legendary visionary Ray Kurzweil will join writer Lev Grossman from TIME Magazine for a mind-expanding keynote conversation about our future.Illustration2012
A conversation between Nicholas Thompson, a senior editor covering technology for the New Yorker, and computing pioneer Jaron Lanier. They'll discuss the virtues of technology, but also the ways it has made us less imaginative, more distracted, and less connected to other people. Lanier is one of the founders of "virtual reality," but he has since become the most prominent critic of what technology has wrought. Last year, he published "You Are Not a Gadget: A Manifesto," a provocative critique of digital technologies, including Wikipedia (which he called a triumph of "intellectual mob rule") and social-networking sites like Facebook and Twitter, which Lanier has described as dehumanizing and designed to encourage shallow interactions.Illustration2012
One of the great failures of any company - for that matter of a capitalist economy - is ecosystem failure. Great companies build great ecosystems, one in which value is created not just for a single company or group of industry players, but for partners who didn't even exist when the product or service was introduced. Many companies start out creating huge value. Consider Microsoft, whose vision of a computer on every desk and in every home changed the world of computing forever, and created a rich ecosystem for developers. But as Microsoft's growth stalled, they gradually consumed more and more of the opportunity for themselves, and innovators moved elsewhere, to the Internet. Internet innovators like Google, Amazon, Facebook, and Twitter have also created a rich ecosystem of opportunity, but like Microsoft before them, they are leaving less and less on the table for others. This is a bad trend. Wall Street firms, which got their start trading on behalf of clients, then began trading against them, then created vast Ponzi economies to drain the value from entire segments of the economy are even more dire examples of this trend. But this crisis of capitalism goes beyond individual industry segments. For example, the race by companies to eliminate labor costs has been a short term profit win but a long term loss. Since the cycle of capitalism depends on consumers as well as producers, and consumers are less and less able to find employment, at some point, we're going to have to start thinking about how to put people to work, rather than how to put them out of work. At O'Reilly, we've always tried to live by the slogan "Create more value than you capture." It's a great way to build a sustainable business and a sustainable economy.
Andrew McAfee, author of "Race Against the Machine," will engage with Tim about these ideas, and about how rethinking the economy becomes even more urgent in the face of the trend he explores in his book, in which jobs are being outsourced not just to low-wage countries, but increasingly to machines.Illustration2012
Dean Kamen is a prolific inventor who has been compared to Edison for his contributions to humanity. Perhaps best known for inventing the Segway, Dean has also invented ground breaking medical technologies that benefit lives around the world; from drug pumps to revolutionary wheelchairs, to the "Luke" robotic arm and pioneering inventions in energy and water. In this session, Dean will provide an inside view into the innovations that have driven his success. You'll also learn about FIRST – Dean's global program designed to experientially engage and inspire the next generation of young technology innovators. Finally, Dean will discuss the responsibilities and opportunities that exist for innovators in all fields (developers, designers, engineers, technologists, inventors and business leaders) to use their gifts to benefit mankind.

Emily Pilloton is a designer and builder, disguised as a high school teacher. In this session, she will tell the story of Studio H, a high school design/build curriculum based in Bertie County, North Carolina, the poorest, most sparsely populated and racially divided county in the state. In one year, her students design and construct a full-scale piece of architecture for their hometown (last year, a 2000-square foot farmers market, along with 3 public chicken coops). This session will make the case for bringing back new, design-infused models of vocational learning as a means to engage students in hand-to-mind creativity, and real-world progress in their own backyards.Illustration2012
As Freeman Dyson said, "There is a great satisfaction in building good tools for other people to use." It's hard to communicate this motivation to a new generation of entrepreneurs. There are so many conferences these days, so many voluble, charismatic leaders, and so much noise. Lots of entrepreneurs in their 20s are knowledgeable about the valuations various Y Combinator startups have attained, know the names of all the angel investors in the Valley, have in-depth knowledge of the Facebook diaspora and their doings, have opinions on various Zynga acquisitions, and know exactly how to get Andrew Mason on the line…it boggles the mind. These are good things to have in your tool kit. But let's talk about the things out there that that people love. About loving the things they're building. If we're talking about inspiration, let's look at the stuff people actually make. The people who make things should be our leaders. Most of the time we don't know their names. Sometimes we're lucky and do. So, to hell with all that noise. It's just a big mass of envy, chatter and FOMO. Let's get excited and make things.Illustration2012
When money flows frictionlessly, good things happen. Good things for small businesses. Good things for consumers. Good things for the economy as a whole. The game layer and the mobile payments space are on a crash course, and it's going to be awesome. So awesome that it'll force credit card interchange rates to zero and pump 50 billion dollars a year back into the economy. Sounds crazy, but before Al Gore invented the internet, we never imagined information would flow so freely. As soon as the friction was removed from information-transfer, a new economy emerged that changed the way we do business. The same is about to happen with money. It's just another medium of information, and it's high time to suck the friction out of the economy. There are two elements driving this transition to interchange zero 1) the technology that's driving fees down (along with some far-reaching legislation thanks to Dick Durbin) and 2) the information inherent in payments that's being leveraged to drive revenues up. Join Seth Priebatsch, Chief Ninja of SCVNGR + LevelUp for a fast-paced session on how a combination of mobile payment startups (even the ones being formed by big companies), The Durbin Amendment, and a tipping point in consumer behavior will completely change the way we think about money -- maybe even re-wire how our economy works.Illustration2012

Stephen Wolfram is a distinguished scientist and inventor who is most recently known for the launch of the computational knowledge engine Wolfram|Alpha. Along with the computational software system Mathematica, Wolfram|Alpha has put into action some concepts Wolfram has been developing throughout his remarkable career, most notably documented in his book A New Kind of Science (NKS).
Wolfram uses his approach to tackle a remarkable array of fundamental problems in science and technology, and shows how computation offers a whole new way of looking at the operation of our universe. He believes that computation is the most important idea that has emerged in the past century and that it will have profound implications on our future.
Each one of Wolfram's accomplishments is representative of his vision of computation. Stephen's life work is based on the idea that computation empowers the individual to discover facts and concepts that have never been explored before, with emerging platforms making computation more accessible than ever. His goal at SXSW is to inspire attendees to explore new corners of the computational universe.Illustration2012
The internet was supposed to allow media outlets not only to display the talent of their writers -- but to capture the intelligence of the audience. Remember that rhetoric? We've abandoned it; the most that publishers can claim is that their comments are not quite as bad as the competition's. Trolls and spammers are not the problem. They can be dealt with by brute-force moderation. The real tragedy: the triumph of mediocrity. People with time on their hands drown out more valuable contributors. We've all designed discussion systems with the most avid commenters in mind. We've given them stars and moderating powers and allowed them to develop cliques and a sense of ownership that shades into entitlement. They are not the only readers. They are not even the smartest of our readers. If we're truly to capture the intelligence of the audience, we need to design for the most intelligent of the audience.Illustration2012
During this session, Steve Case, one of America's most iconic entrepreneurs, and Tim O'Shaughnessy, CEO and co-founder of LivingSocial, will explore the role entrepreneurship plays in launching some of the world's fastest growing businesses. As LivingSocial's first investor, Steve (and his investment firm, Revolution) was one of the earliest believers in the transformative power of local commerce. Tim will share his experience working with early investors and building one of today's most promising new companies, as well as his vision for how LivingSocial is poised to bring local commerce to a new level. And looking more broadly, Steve will talk about his efforts to support entrepreneurs through his investments at Revolution, as chair of the Startup America Partnership and a member of the President', and what we can all do to tap into "America's secret sauce" to ensure that the US continues to be a leader in innovation and growth.Illustration2012

The brainchild of actor Rainn Wilson (Dwight from NBC's The Office), SoulPancake is a movement to "Chew on Life's Big Questions" and tackle art, philosophy, creativity, and spirituality across multiple platforms. SoulPancake offers thought-provoking content and creative engagement opportunities to help people explore what it means to be human. Now, with more than 1 million page views a month, SoulPancake's website has crossed over into multiple platforms, from print to television to video and "real world" interactions. Wilson will offer the audience a thoughtful, funny look at how art and creativity can be explored in all forms of media. He'll share some of the challenges of building an online community; developing creative content; and the interactivity and social networking that fuels it all. Please note: Rainn will not be serving pancakes, but he does encourage the audience to bring and enjoy their own stacks of flapjacks.Illustration2012
Since the dawn of humanity, a privileged few have lived in stark contrast to the hardscrabble majority. Conventional wisdom says this gap cannot be closed. But it is closing—fast. Diamandis will address how progress in artificial intelligence, robotics, infinite computing, ubiquitous broadband networks, digital manufacturing, nanomaterials, synthetic biology, and many other exponentially growing technologies will enable us to make greater gains in the next two decades than we have in the previous two hundred years. We will soon have the ability to meet and exceed the basic needs of every man, woman, and child on the planet. Abundance for all is within our grasp. Diamandis explores how four emerging forces—exponential technologies, the DIY innovator, the Technophilanthropist, and the Rising Billion—are conspiring to solve our biggest problems.Illustration2012
It's easy to get caught up with the horse races of Facebook versus Google or Microsoft versus Apple or record labels versus the Internet. But in nearly 30 years of covering technology I find that the major conflicts are those of philosophy, politics and power. You could almost view the past few decades as a spectacular cycle of fantasy novels with the Hacker Spirit as the protagonist and amazing supporting characters including Steve Jobs, Richard Stallman, Bill Gates, Larry Page, Stephen Wolfram, Whitfield Diffie, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg (all of whom I've spent considerable time interviewing.) And as our lives are more intertwined with the giant digital shift, these conflicts are ever more vital. Here's an attempt to deconstruct a revolution--and point to what's ahead.Illustration2012
The term "social media" is quickly becoming obsolete. The social graph is moving from our computers into the real world, and soon everything we experience will be overlaid with the thoughts and feelings of our friends. Early adopters are already starting to experience this phenomenon. For instance, foursquare alerts you when you're near places that your friends like, and provides you with suggestions from your friends on what to experience at those places. Other companies are attempting to create this type of engagement with television shows ("10 of your friends are watching!") and music. In this session, Dennis Crowley, Co-founder and CEO of foursquare, will have a conversation about how mobile technology is accelerating the social graph's move into the offline world, and how services like foursquare are taking this kind of augmented real-world exploration mainstream.Illustration2012
Links are the molecular bonds of our web sites, holding all the pages together. They are the essence of a web site. Yet, what do we really know about them? If you create great links, your users easily find everything they need on your site. If you do a poor job, your users will find your site impossible or frustrating. We never discuss what truly makes a good link good. Until now. Jared will show you the latest thinking behind the art and science of making great links. Join him for this entertaining and amusing look at the secret lives of our site's links.Illustration2012

Chip Conley is the founder and was the CEO of America's second largest boutique hotel company. Initially, he thought he needed to be superhuman to be successful, but after two dozen years as CEO, he realized that he just needed to be a super human to create the habitat for success that arose at Joie de Vivre Hospitality. Using iconic psychology theories from Abraham Maslow (PEAK) and Viktor Frankl (Emotional Equations), Chip wrote a couple of best-selling books dedicated to helping business leaders understand how to be more emotionally intelligent in the workplace. Using a series of equations he's created with psychologist and mathematicians, Chip will help you understand the emotional building blocks that create anxiety, disappointment, joy, authenticity, and wisdom. Perfect for anyone wanting to understand themselves, their fellow employees, and their customers.Illustration2012
"Matchmaker, matchmaker, make me a match, find me a find, catch me a catch…",lyrics from Fiddler on the Roof about finding a perfect partner. Wouldn't it be great if you could have someone to guide you towards what is a match for you, advise you in your career life, help you weed through the losers to find the fabulous 'one' that will make you whistle on your way to work AND whistle on the way home?
In Hunt or Be Hunted - How to get the Design Job you Really Want, you will be privy to the insights and success stories of three of the industry's most respected representatives in their knowledge domains. You will also hear from a leading expert in the placement of designers. Each will relate real-world experience, guiding audience members through the maze of questions a designer has in this frenetic job market.
Who are you as a designer? What do you want to do, and how do you know it's the right thing. What's your story? How to present yourself, your portfolio, and where you want to be. Where should you be full time or freelance? What that means to your life, your career and how you are viewed. When is it right? To look, to change, to know if this is the one. How do you get there? Choosing the right company, assessing/selling to what they need, closing the deal. Don't be left in the dark. Don't make blind decisions. Be informed, be guided, then be sure. Listen to these respected resources to help yourself to, "…find me the perfect match."Illustration2012

Moments of joy... moments of happiness... moments of gratitude. These are all moments that describe our lives. It is very easy to mistake these as only moments that happen in real life. One fundamental key part of how the web has evolved has involved emotion. Emotion has become more explicit in our actions online. Companies are faster becoming aware that, as obvious as it may seem, humans are at the receiving end of the UI and design theme that you have just created. We no longer simply engage in actions; we "like". We contribute content and are immediately validated through social interactions. What is obvious is that there's another person we're interacting with. What's even more obvious is what we're supposed to feel. In this digital era, there's a field of science that has been largely underutilized until now: affective science. In our work at Kiip, we have realized just how core the "happiness moment" is to our business model. Just how raw emotion can be directly tied to an achievement in a game - we have designed not only a UI but a "emotive" experience around harnessing the elements of the happiness that surrounds a simple interaction. Do you want to share? Do you want to gift? Do you want to save it? Is it fleeting? How can you control it? How do you have more of it later? In this session we'll hear, for the first time, from companies in the mobile and web space that have harnessed not only emotional power - but pressure - to drive their business models all using the currency of happiness. Not only have some of them accidentally created models that capture this emotion beautifully, but some of them have now learned how to sustain it. Happiness is the missing resource in your company. Learn how to capture it.Illustration2012
In 2009, a mild traumatic brain injury changed the way that game designer Jane McGonigal thought about everything -- literally. She spent a year recovering -- struggling to think clearly, be physically active, and find a new sense of purpose. Her journey back to health led her to invent a new form of game design, aimed at having a measurable positive impact on players' real lives, and fused with scientific research at every level. In this talk, you'll see the first results of that process: a game called SuperBetter. You'll hear about the game's first clinical trials, and get a crash course in getting SuperBetter yourself: Find out how to turn weak social ties into allies. Learn how to experience "gain without pain" (or what scientists call "post-ecstatic growth"). Discover the secrets of "Lazy Exercise" and "Ninja Weight Loss". Find out what a two-minute "Future Boost" is, and why it's the most important thing you can do each week for your physical and mental health. From the mind of a game designer comes a radically disruptive model for integrating breakthrough science into our daily lives.Illustration2012
The Lean Startup debuted at #2 on the New York Times bestseller list. This talk draws on stories and insights from the book, explaining the new science of entrepreneurship. Most startups fail. But many of those failures are preventable. The Lean Startup is a new approach being adopted across the globe, changing the way companies are built and new products are launched. Eric Ries defines a startup as an organization dedicated to creating something new under conditions of extreme uncertainty. This is just as true for one person in a garage or a group of seasoned professionals in a Fortune 500 boardroom. What they have in common is a mission to penetrate that fog of uncertainty to discover a successful path to a sustainable business. The Lean Startup approach fosters companies that are both more capital efficient and that leverage human creativity more effectively. Inspired by lessons from lean manufacturing, it relies on "validated learning," rapid scientific experimentation, as well as a number of counterintuitive practices that shorten product development cycles, measure actual progress without resorting to vanity metrics, and learn what customers really want. It enables a company to shift directions with agility, altering plans inch by inch, minute by minute.Illustration2012
Bing Gordon knows how to spread magic dust: Look anywhere from Amazon to Zynga. A master of disruption, he's blessed with 20/20 vision into all things gaming and social. Go beyond the buzzwords as the former Electronic Arts executive, legendary video game pioneer, investor in online social gaming company Zynga, and partner at Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers sits down with Bloomberg BusinessWeek reporter Brad Stone to help us understand how both trends are changing the way people engage, behave and consume. Bing explores why gamification and socialization have moved into the mainstream - and into our bloodstream. He explains how these concepts and strategies are relevant to just about everyone, from entrepreneurs to marketing professionals to musicians and students. Bing also discusses how game and social design principles are used to heighten the "wow" quotient in products, services and change consumer experience.Illustration2012

Everybody talks about the "cloud" as if it is a digital savior. A beautiful white fluffy (free) cloud on a blue-sky day. Sounds nice, huh? But what if it's a storm cloud? Today – there is a mad rush to move pictures, video, and event private data to the cloud. We live in a world today of constant connection. We're blessed with unlimited access to pervasive communications. We are, in fact, shifting from an era of mere content abundance to an avalanche of undifferentiated data. Our hard drives runneth over. So - you can't blame your self for wanting to move to the cloud. Unlimited space for all your crap - and free. Who wouldn't sign up? Today the noisy web has resulted in the emergence of a handful of private, walled garden webs. A closed web. Will our cloud providers become information overloads? Can we save the web from privatization, and regain control over our data and our identities? Only if we move fast. Before 'Big Data' becomes 'Big Government.' Find out how digital 'overload' can insure power in the human web.Illustration2012
The continuing global economic and political crisis should be the wakeup call to the world. We need to rethink and rebuild many of the organizations and institutions that have served us well for decades, even centuries, but are no longer able. Many traditional economic and social pillars of the industrial age have come to the end of their life cycle. Yet, enabled by the digital revolution there is dramatic change occurring everywhere, from Cairo streets to Wall Street, from the lecture halls of our universities to the halls of government. How can we rethink our economy and society for the new age? Don Tapscott is one of the world's leading thinkers about new technology, new media and innovation in business and society. He is the author of 14 widely read books, most recently Macrowikinomics, and was named one of the world's most influential management thinkers by Thinkers50 in 2011.Illustration2012
Imagine an app that could cut saturated fat from your diet. Or one that could cure gingivitis. Well, while technology has had a big role in making us more sedentary, it also has the potential to make us better informed, healthier and even more fit. In fact, patients are banking on this potential, which is why the AppStore offers more than 7,000 health apps for iPhone users alone. In this 60-min SXSW talk, Ina Fried of Dow Jones' All Things Digital sits down with Aetna Chairman and CEO Mark Bertolini to discuss how people are navigating this new landscape by using technology, especially mobile tech, to manage their health and make better health decisions. Already there are apps for testing eyesight, tracking exercise and even helping diabetics manage their glucose levels. Vast online communities complement these mobile apps by letting patients share, inform, and support one another. But what's next? Technology also has the potential to reshape the doctor-patient relationship, transforming it from one characterized by irregular visits to treat illness to true doctor-patient partnerships focused on wellness. And what about online health care records we hear so much about? We used to have a better chance of seeing bigfoot, but today companies like Aetna are making mobile health records a reality. Is this is a privacy breach in the making or are their real benefits to having this info on the go? This session is sponsored by Aetna.Illustration2012

An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day.

Back to top.
It's that time of year when it's not just the turkey that's getting stuffed. The Thanksgiving table is full of irresistible treats and sweets, but before you commit yourself to an afternoon of gluttony followed by the traditional unbuttoning of the pants in front of the TV, you might consider that there are a lot of options that are actually good for you. And if you're the one planning the menu, you can include even more choices so you can enjoy Thanksgiving without turning into a Macy's parade float.
If you're lucky (or unlucky) enough to be hosting the main event, you can try some other things to "health up" the meal. Think about offering a separate salad course and/or a non-cream-based soup course. This can prolong the meal and the conversation (which can be good or bad, depending on your family) and allow you to fill up on healthy stuff before the main-course shoveling begins. Also, try scheduling the meal so it isn't eaten in front of the TV during the big football game. Then you can pay attention both to your guests and to what you're putting in your mouth. If you're at the mercy of some other Thanksgiving host, hope for a cornucopia of vegetables you can choose from, or offer to bring something healthy and delicious yourself. By making healthy choices, you'll really have something to be thankful for, instead of just a couple of extra pounds.

Every Thanksgiving table assembles a motley crew of family, friends, and sometimes people who just wander off the street, lured by the smell of roast turkey. The turkey's not going to be a big hit with your vegetarian guests, but often, they can make a great meal out of all the fabulous sides, including the mashed potatoes, yams, and veggies. Instead of a fatty turkey-based gravy, try this vegetarian gravy, which will add layers of flavor to your main course as well as the potatoes and stuffing for your non-fowl-eating friends.
In a skillet, sauté onion, mushrooms, and garlic in 1-1/2 tsp. of the olive oil for 2 or 3 minutes, then transfer them to a bowl. Place remaining oil in skillet over heat and stir in flour; continue to stir until flour browns. Next, add water and whisk until it starts to boil; then add Worcestershire sauce and allow mixture to thicken (about 5 minutes total). Add onion, mushrooms, and garlic back to pan; add parsley and cook for 1 minute more, seasoning to taste with pepper, then remove from heat and serve.
Tip: If gravy is too thick, slowly stir in more warm water to make it thinner. Makes 12 to 14 servings.

Resort riding is for suckers.
Skyrocketing season pass costs, long liftlines, and mad-dashes for
powder are just a few reasons to skip the resorts this season for the
solitude and deep powder of the backcountry. The vehicle to take you to
deeper, untouched places? You guessed it, the Rome Whiteroom Splitboard.
This directional splitboard has a set-back stance and Powder S-Camber
profile, both of which help you effortlessly glide over the deepest snow
without bogging down. Delivering camber through its mid-section, the
Whiteroom's Powder S-Camber feels snappy under your back foot, helping
you drive turns and slash windlips with the precise power of camber.
After the board's mid-section, there's substantial rocker that continues
all the way to the nose for maximum floatation, ensuring that your nose
planes over anything in its path—including untracked powder, bumps, and
choppy snow.
Designed with Rome's AirPop Core Matrix, the Whiteroom's core has poplar for maximum strength and pop, which is blended with five zones of ultra-low-density wood for a lightweight feel that conserves energy on long up-hill tours. StraightTriax 30 laminates make for a responsive feel when you're carving and gunning it down the mountain, yet these laminates still allow for enough torsional flex to bank turns between trees and make quick movements.
Infusing spring-loaded pop, the board's HotRods-Carbon Double Barrel are milled into the core, helping you transfer power to your effective edge when you're slashing and railing turns. Additionally, Rome's provided a SinterSpeed Base for fast glide over variable snow conditions, as well as added resistance to scratches and dings from buried debris, such as rocks, stumps, and branches. Note that the Whiteroom comes with industry-leading Karakoram clips that remove slop along the seam, helping to eliminate tip and tail chatter at high speeds

Fun Board!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Very fun board. This thing feels like my resort board which makes the backcountry that much more fun. This thing tours like a champ, looks awesome, and doesn't hurt the wallet too much.
Rome really looked at the details on this thing. Usually with the less expensive boards they cut back on the little things. I was really excited when I noticed these came with Karakoram clips instead of the normal hooks. The karakoram clips really pull your board together for a solid feel under your feet.

Fun Board, Good Price
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
This isnt the stiffest board out there, but it is a nimble playful board. The shape gives great float in powder and works well for the less ideal snow too.
This board is also fairly light, coupled with a good amount of camber it tours very well.
I haven't had it on the steepest terrain yet, but I'm sure I'll be confident dropping in with this board.
Great All Arounder
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I picked this up a week ago and have hit about every type of conditions in that time. I've rode the Hallway, it was icy. I rode some left over Pow stashes on Raymond. I rode some chalky chutes in Upper Days and I even rode some slush coming down the south facing slopes back into LCC. I can confidently say, it's a fun board and it really can ride whatever. The S Rocker really allows you to have a good time when you want but rip it when needed. I feel confident dropping cliffs, pinning straight lines and even searching out tight trees. My First day out on it I rode some North facing tight pines in LCC and I was amazed with how much I loved it. I pushed it through openings that were scraping my pack. Uphill travel is good because of the set back camber and firm flex. I have zero complaints about the board. It comes with Karakoram clips.... very nice.
If you want to talk about any snowboard product feel free to contact me.

Powerful and fun shape
I finally got around to putting together my split set up last spring and am kicking myself for not doing it sooner. I paired the Rome Whiteroom with the Sparks Magneto bindings and couldn't be happier. The Whiteroom felt effortless right away. Having never ridden a split board before, I wasn't sure what to expect, but the Whiteroom was incredibly fun to ride. The Powder S profile of the board handled insanely well on spring snow and I can only imagine it in powder. The board was very powerful and poppy, yet very nimble and fun at the same time. If you are looking for an all mountain splitboard....I think you've found it.

Deadbeat Darling makes NW Ohio debutWritten by Mike Bauman | | firstname.lastname@example.com
Finding footing in today's music industry is no small task. It's even more of a challenge when you're trying to do so in a place as large as New York City. Still, that hasn't stopped Brooklyn-based rock quartet Deadbeat Darling from carving out its niche both in the Big Apple and internationally.
"It's been a good ride," Deadbeat Darling singer and guitarist Joseph King said. "I mean, none of us are driving Ferraris, but we are eating Ramen when we want to, so that's good."
Rounded out by Mohit Bhansali (lead guitar, harmonies), Ian Everall (bass) and Evan Howard (drums), Deadbeat Darling will make its Northwest Ohio debut when it performs at The Village Idiot on July 26.
With a sound that features elements of surf, rock and reggae and members out of Austin, New Orleans, Canada and New York, Deadbeat Darling is a reflection of the cultural melting pot that is New York City.
"We all like nice, clean Fender guitars through Fender amps with reverb and tom-driven, kind of surfy beats," King said on the development of the band's sound. "It's kind of like all of our tastes started to line up in a certain way and we realized where we all overlapped, and it happened to be the sound that you hear now."
In an eclectic scene which has birthed the likes of the Strokes, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, the Walkmen and Caveman, Deadbeat Darling has earned its stripes in New York City over the last five years with its live performances, having worked its way up from club shows to prestigious venues like The Bowery Ballroom and Highline Ballroom.
"I really would love to sort of like tip my hat to [those aforementioned bands] and sort of acknowledge that I think what we do really has a lot to do with what's happening around us as much as where we come from," King said on Deadbeat Darling's success. "But there's great music and it's a great thing. The city is about the artists that are happening right now.
"I'm not ashamed to say that we're influenced by sort of like our peers here."
After working with producer Chris Coady (TV on the Radio, Blonde Redhead, Yeah Yeah Yeahs) for 2007 EP "Belle Epoch," Deadbeat Darling released its first full-length — "Weight of Wandering" — in 2009. Tours of the Midwest, Southwest and West Coast followed.
As Deadbeat Darling built a name on a national level through touring and slots on CMJ and SXSW, one of the band's European managers helped set up a run of shows in the UK. That run led to the band's relationship with UK indie label Spearhavoc Records — located in Southend-on-Sea—whom the group signed with in March 2011.
"It's been great," King said of signing with Spearhavoc. "Scandinavian guys [and] Danish people will tell you exactly what they think. They don't mince words; they don't bullshit. And it's been nice to work with guys like that."
For its second full-length, Deadbeat Darling then retreated to Wales to record with producer Ken Nelson (Coldplay, Gomez, the Charlatans).
"We were kind of sequestered at this residential studio in the middle of nowhere in Monmouth, which is, like, south Wales," King said. "We were surrounded by sheep and rolling hills and bottles of whiskey. We were out there for six weeks making the record. It was amazing."
The result was an 11-track effort, "The Angel's Share," which was released on April 2.
"Ken was cool," King said of recording with Nelson. "He was very soft-handed, I would say, with the production. He was all about, 'Look, I'm not going to come in and rearrange the songs. I don't want a lot of bells and whistles. I don't want to track and track and track.'
"He was like, 'I want to get performances. I want to get you guys, playing your guitars, through your amps, and get as beautiful and as pure a performance of the songs as I can.'"
Whether it means touring the UK in a Sprinter with a tour manager or piling into a van stateside and going city-to-city on a per diem and a steady diet of Ramen noodles, King and Deadbeat Darling are thankful for the chance to share their music with so many people.
"We kind of just have to adapt to whatever is dealt to us, you know?" King said. "But the opportunity has been fantastic, and I'm really grateful for it."
- On July 26, Deadbeat Darling will play at The Village Idiot, 309 Conant St. in Maumee. The show starts at 9 p.m. For more information, visit www.villageidiotmaumee.com.

Waitsfield was offered and accepted an anonymous donation of $100,000 to be used to purchase the Farm Stand parcel of land.
That parcel of land is earmarked for new town offices for Waitsfield and the town has an option to purchase it for $100,000. The town will vote again on a proposal to bond for up to $650,000 for new town offices on October 22.
The board reviewed the offer of the anonymous donation at its September 23 meeting and voted unanimously to accept it. The terms of the anonymous gift require that the money be used to buy the Farm Stand parcel and that the town must retain ownership of the parcel for at least 10 years.
The board voted unanimously to accept the gift after discussing the offer in executive session.
Waitsfield voters will reconsider a July 30 vote to build new town office at the Farm Stand site next month. The reconsideration vote is required because the town received a petition calling for reconsideration and must, by law, present the exact same article that voters considered in the first vote, which passed 309-209.
To overturn the affirmative vote would require no votes of at least two-thirds of the 309 July 30 yes votes when voters head to the polls next month.
In addition to the gift of $100,000 to purchase the land for the town offices, the town has also received a Community Development Block Grant of $750,000 to be used for that project. Both sums of money are expected to significantly reduce taxpayer dollars required for the project. Without the $100,000 donation, taxpayer costs were expected to be about $450,000 but now could be lower still. However, the town's October 22 bond vote wording (and request for $650,000) must be identical to the previous vote.
At this week's meeting the select board also discussed an email from Josh Hanford of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, answering questions from select board member Chris Pierson who, at the board's last meeting, questioned whether the grant was specifically awarded for the Farm Stand site or whether the town could amend its grant application and have the money awarded for a different site, or for the former Methodist Church. There is a strong contingent of people in Waitsfield who have favored rehabilitating the church versus building a new building.
What the board heard from Hanford, in response to Pierson's email, is that the CDBG notice that the town received was specifically for the Farm Stand site and that if the town wants to change sites it will have to reapply and in so doing, return its grant to the CDBG program.
Hanford also explained that the grant was given with specific conditions to be met by October 15 including a positive bond vote and completion of environmental studies. Hanford said by phone last week that in order to retain the grant the town will have to seek an extension of the October 15 date.
At this week's select board meeting, town administrator Valerie Capels discussed her request for extension with the select board. Her letter requesting the extension explains the first yes vote in July and the subsequent petition for reconsideration that led to the October 22 vote. She also explained that the environmental review is under way but noted that obtaining all of the necessary permits would take longer than October 15.
"At its meeting on September 12, the Waitsfield Select Board appointed a final design committee to work with the project architect. Part of their charge is to solicit public input, which may involve a variety of methods at different iterations during the design process. Once a final plan is in place, the zoning permit process can take one or more months to complete," she wrote.
