THE first of the Taunton & District Saturday League's Cup final, the KO Cup, was held on Tuesday evening at Bridgwater Town's ground between two Division 2 sides, Blagdon Hill and Stogursey.
The first half was a very even affair with neither side able to break the deadlock. In the second period, Blagdon took the lead through James Bryce and doubled it with a goal from Simon Stone.
Blagdon then conceded a penalty converted by Ryan Chidgey to give Stogursey hope. They threw everything at Blagdon in an attempt to force the game to extra time but it wasn't to be and Blagdon took the trophy 2-1.
On Saturday, Division 1 leaders Highbridge Town had a convincing 4-0 victory over Staplegrove Reserves. Chris Taylor got a pair, while Stuart Green and Ryan Elliott added the other two.
After edging the first half, Middlezoy Rovers Reserves were unlucky to come in at 0-0 against Locomotives, however a dominant second half display saw them power past a limping Locomotives and score three well-worked goals scorers through Sam Peppin, Harry Taylor and Aaron Whaites.
Bishops Lydeard Reserves beat Hamilton Hawks 3-1 with ex-Lydeard player Neil Gage scoring for Hawks against his old team; Sam Hallet scored two of the Lydeard goals and Kirk Poulsom the other.
North Petherton scored after 10 minutes through Shane Jolly against Alcombe Rovers then defended like their lives depended on it. The effort and commitment paid off as sub Jake Woodrow scored the second with the last kick of the game.
Matt Fursland and Piers Govier scored for Bridgwater Sports to give them all three points in their 2-1 win at Porlock for whom Stephen Lynch netted.
In Division 2, Blagdon Hill have 11 games in hand on leaders and their opponents Appletree Tone Youth but two goals from Pat Sherwood gave them a 2-0 victory and all they have to do now is win those spare games to take the lead as they are only 19 points behind.
Local rivals Stogursey and Nether Stowey fought out a goal-less draw.
Watchet and Westonzoyland ended at 2-2, James Millard and Ollie Ham scoring for Zoy and Adam Jeffries and Danny Williams for Watchet; and Hamilton Athletic beat Minehead Reserves 4-3 in a rare victory.
Division 3 leaders Morganians stay in front of the rest after a 2-1 win at Alcombe Rovers Reserves, Ben Chorley and Andrew James scoring with Ian Lowe responding for Rovers.
Second placed The Gallery beat Sydenham Rangers 3-0 to keep their double hopes alive. Sydenham started the brightest but Gallery scored against the run of play with a superb volley from the evergreen Mark Pope. In the second half, a missed Sydenham penalty sprung the Gallery into action with a bullet penalty from Jamie Evans.
As Sydenham pressed, Gallery got a third with another great Mark Pope strike, a good local derby played in the correct manner.
Milverton Rangers had a convincing 6-1 home win over Highbridge Town Reserves with Joe Godfrey and Cy Rich getting a pair a piece, Callum David and Crag Plumbridge adding the other two; James Harvey got the Highbridge goal.
Two goals from Chris Tucker helped Galmington Dragons to a 3-2 victory over Redgate, Oliver Tucker scoring the third.
Jack Hamblin got both the Redgate goals.
Tone Youth lost ground in Division 4 with a 1-1 draw with Dulverton Town Reserves.
Matt Zilwood scored for Dulverton but Gary Mckiernan scored a 30 yard screamer to equalise for Tone.
Second placed Woolavington made no mistakes in their comprehensive 7-0 victory over Sampford Blues Reserves. Sam Godfrey hit three, Josh Corkett two and Connor O'Neil and John Higgins one each.
Norton Fitzwarren went one down early from a great Jason Mantyk header for North Petherton Reserves but Henry Egerton equalised and captain Leo Salter and Andy Nichols gave Norton a 3-1 win.
In Division 5, Staplegrove Colts beat Galmington Dragons Reserves 6-3 with two goals from both Ian Bishop and Jason Quick, Graham Hook and Kurtis Selway added one each. Luke Bottomley, Alex Davis and Danny Skyner replied for Dragons.
Wiveliscombe stay level on points with Staplegrove but ahead on goal difference after their 4-1 win at Morganians Reserves.
Oli Price-Bates put Wivey in control before half-time and completed his hattrick just after the break.
Morganians pulled one back through Bob Kippen but Price-Bates turned provider late on setting up Davies to score the fourth.
East Bower beat Middlezoy Athletic 3-0.
Mike Watts headed the first, Nathan Butt's scorcher from an Aaron Chidgey assist and a Jack Edwards penalty following Ash Warren being brought down in the box were enough.
Creech Cougars and Bridgwater Wolves shared the points in their 1-1 draw, Jordan Cozens scoring for Creech.
Ash Rangers are in third by a point but they have games in hand on second placed Staplegrove after their 8-1 win away at Hamilton Athletic Foxes. Senna Clapp got himself a hat-trick, and Callum Hardy tw,o with Harvey Puddy, George Scutt and Jack Wheeler all adding one each.

The author of the hugely successful "Hunger Games" trilogy, Suzanne Collins, is set to publish an autobiographical picture book for children ages four and up, based on the year her father served in Vietnam.
The book, called "Year of the Jungle," will be released on Sept. 10, 2013, and will be illustrated by Collins's longtime friend, James Proimos, publisher Scholastic said Thursday.
Scholastic released a synopsis of "Year of the Jungle":
"In Year of the Jungle, when young Suzy's father leaves for Viet Nam, she struggles to deal with his absence. What is the jungle like? Will her father be safe? When will he return? The months slip by, marked by the passing of the familiar holidays and the postcards that her father sends. With each one, he feels more and more distant, and when he returns, Suzy must learn that even though war has changed him, he still loves her just the same."
With more than 50 million copies of "The Hunger Games" trilogy in print and digital format, Collins has been a boon for Scholastic. The film version of the first book, "The Hunger Games," was released by Lionsgate in March, grossing $686.5 million world-wide, according to the website Box Office Mojo.

Phillies enjoy all-around victory over Giants
Lee's strong pitching, productive offense combine for win
SAN FRANCISCO -- The Phillies asked themselves the same question most fans asked late Monday night.
Why can't they play like this more often?
Manager Charlie Manuel has been talking for weeks about the team's need to play a complete game, but he has seen too much of the opposite. But after getting throttled in two games last week in Cleveland and looking bad again in two losses over the weekend against Miami at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies hit well, pitched well and played good defense in Monday's 6-2 victory over the defending World Series champion Giants at AT&T Park.
"That's more of what we are right there, no doubt," said Phillies left-hander Cliff Lee, who allowed five hits and two runs and struck out six in eight innings. "We definitely haven't been playing up to our potential. We've been really far short of that, to be honest with you. I think tonight's more of a real depiction of what we are. Yeah, I expect us to pick it up a little bit. We've kind of underperformed this first month, and it's time for us to turn it on."
Lee said last Wednesday in a 6-0 loss to the Indians -- one of five shutout losses in their last 20 games -- that the Phillies needed to play with more pride. He reiterated those feelings Monday.
"I think pride is a big part of executing. Just grinding," Lee said. "Sticking in there ... basically, if you're going to get beat, go down fighting. [The Indians] got us early both games, just seemed like we kind of laid down and let them take it from us. Just kind of what I was hinting at with that. More of a pride, fight-to-the-very-end type stuff. It didn't really feel that way in Cleveland. We were better at home against the Marlins, but we still could do even better, and tonight was more of what I expect from this team as far as energy and applying the pressure to the other team rather than having them apply it on us."
The Phillies had just five hits and scored just two runs in those losses to the Marlins, but they had eight hits and scored five runs in six innings against Giants left-hander Madison Bumgarner, who had allowed just 25 hits and seven runs in 40 2/3 innings in his first six starts this season.
Somebody explain that one.
The Phillies left the bases loaded in the first inning and had them loaded again with two outs in the second when Michael Young doubled into the right-field corner to score John Mayberry and Erik Kratz to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead. Chase Utley scored on a wild pitch to make it 3-0.
The Phillies scored two more in the fifth to take a 5-1 lead when Delmon Young's sacrifice fly scored Michael Young and Domonic Brown crushed a solo home run to right field. The ball sailed out of the ballpark and bounced into McCovey Cove. It was Brown's sixth homer of the season. Jimmy Rollins added a sacrifice fly in the ninth.
"I felt like we had a really good game plan," said Michael Young, who went 3-for-4 with two doubles, two RBIs and one walk. "Guys were really disciplined up there, guys stuck with their plans and things worked out.
"I think the biggest thing is to make sure our approach is sound, that we compete in every at-bat and never give them away. I'm not saying we do that, but that's always a key in any offense, to make sure you battle every at-bat. But we are confident we're always going to get good pitching. Guys like Cliff are capable of giving performances like that on a nightly basis. So we have to make sure that if there's one [run] out there -- we don't always need three- or four-run innings -- but if there's one out there, we have to make sure we pick him up. Tonight we did a pretty good job of that."
Lee improved to 3-2 with a 3.26 ERA. The Phillies will need more from Lee with Roy Halladay out indefinitely with an injured right shoulder.
"Obviously, we hope that it's not as big of a deal as I think everyone might think it might be," Lee said. "Hopefully it's something minor and he's able to get back. If not, what can you do? You still got to go out there and grind and try to give the team a chance to win every time you take the mound, no matter who the guy is.
"He's pitched a long time, fired a lot of bullets. I hope it's not major and it's something minor and he's back in a couple weeks and jumps back on board. But until then, we just got to keep on grinding. Even if he's gone forever, there's nothing we can do. We got to go out there and continue to pitch and try to give the team a chance to win every time you take the mound. All of us."

Live pictures of living fossil reported in BBC News 15 June 2006. Earlier this year dead specimens of a previously unknown rodent were found by scientists in a market in Laos. The animal was found to be a living version of a rodent that was believed to extinct for 11 million years. An expedition of scientists led by David Redfield of a Florida State university have now captured and filmed a live specimen of the animal and confirmed it is the same animal found in the hunters market. Mary Dawson, curator emeritus of vertebrate palaeontology at the Carnegie Museum who worked on the identification of the rodent commented: "This is a truly exciting discovery. Dr Redfield's sighting of the living animal is the first to be recorded scientifically. These are the first photographic images of the recently discovered 'living fossil' Laonastes aenigmamus."
Editorial Comment: A "living fossil" is a creature whose fossil and living specimens are the same. This is no help to a theory that claims one kind of creature turned into another. Every time scientists find a "living fossil" they are finding proof that living creatures have reproduced after their own kind, just as Genesis says. (Ref. rodents, Asia, mammals)

An engineer attending my VMware Networking Deep Dive webinar has asked me a tough question that I was unable to answer:
What happens if a VM running within a vSphere host sends a BPDU? Will it get dropped by the vSwitch or will it be sent to the physical switch (potentially triggering BPDU guard)?
I got the answer from visibly harassed Kurt (@networkjanitor) Bales during the Networking Tech Field Day; one of his customers has managed to do just that.
Update 2011-11-04: The post was rewritten based on extensive feedback from Cisco, VMware and numerous readers.
Here's a sketchy overview of what was going on: they were running a Windows VM inside his VMware infrastructure, decided to configure bridging between a vNIC and a VPN link, and the VM started to send BPDUs through the vNIC. vSwitch ignored them, but the physical switch didn't – it shut down the port, cutting a number of VMs off the network.
Best case, BPDU guard on the physical switch blocks but doesn't shut down the port – all VMs pinned to that link get blackholed, but the damage stops there. More often BPDU guard shuts down the physical port (the reaction of BPDU guard is vendor/switch-specific), VMs using that port get pinned to another port, and the misconfigured VM triggers BPDU guard on yet another port, until the whole vSphere host is cut off from the rest of the network. Absolutely worst case, you're running VMware High Availability, the vSphere host triggers isolation response, and the offending VM is restarted on another host (eventually bringing down the whole cluster).
There is only one good solution to this problem: implement BPDU guard on the virtual switch. Unfortunately, no virtual switch running in VMware environment implements BPDU guard.
Interestingly, the same functionality would be pretty easy to implement in Xen/XenServer/KVM; either by modifying the open-source Open vSwitch or by forwarding the BPDU frames to OpenFlow controller, which would then block the offending port.
Nexus 1000V seems to offer a viable alternative. It has an implicit BPDU filter (you cannot configure it) that would block the BPDUs coming from a VM, but that only hides the problem – you could still get forwarding loops if a VM bridges between two vNICs connected to the same LAN. However, you can reject forged transmits (source-MAC-based filter, a standard vSphere feature) to block bridged packets coming from a VM.
According to VMware's documentation (ESX Configuration Guide) the default setting in vSphere 4.1 and vSphere 5 is to accept forged transmits.
Lacking Nexus 1000V, you can use a virtual firewall (example: vShield App) that can filter layer-2 packets based on ethertype. Yet again, you should combine that with rejection of forged transmits.
No BPDUs past this point
In theory, an interesting approach might be to use VM-FEX. A VM using VM-FEX is connected directly to a logical interface in the upstream switch and the BPDU guard configured on that interface would shut down just the offending VM. Unfortunately, I can't find a way to configure BPDU guard in UCS Manager.
Other alternatives to BPDU guard in a vSwitch range from bad to worse:
Disable BPDU guard on the physical switch. You've just moved the problem from access to distribution layer (if you use BPDU guard there) ... or you've made the whole layer-2 domain totally unstable, as any VM could cause STP topology change.
Enable BPDU filter on the physical switch. Even worse – if someone actually manages to configure bridging between two vNICs (or two physical NICs in a Hyper-V host), you're toast; BPDU filter causes the physical switch to pretend the problem doesn't exist.
Enable BPDU filter on the physical switch and reject forged transmits in vSwitch. This one protects against bridging within a VM, but not against physical server misconfiguration. If you're absolutely utterly positive all your physical servers are vSphere hosts, you can use this approach (vSwitch has built-in loop prevention); if there's a minimal chance someone might connect bare-metal server or a Hyper-V/XenServer host to your network, don't even think about using BPDU filter on the physical switch.
Anything else? Please describe your preferred solution in the comments!
BPDU filter available in Nexus 1000V or ethertype-based filters available in virtual firewalls can stop the BPDUs within the vSphere host (and thus protect the physical links). If you combine it with forged transmit rejection, you get a solution that protects the network from almost any VM-level misconfiguration.
However, I would still prefer a proper BPDU guard with logging in the virtual switches for several reasons:
- BPDU filter just masks the configuration problem;
- If the vSwitch accepts forged transmits, you could get an actual forwarding loop;
- While the solution described above does protect the network, it also makes troubleshooting a lot more obscure – a clear logging message in vCenter telling the virtualization admin that BPDU guard has shut down a vNIC would be way better;
- Last but definitely not least, someone just might decide to change the settings and accept forged transmits (with potentially disastrous results) while troubleshooting a customer problem @ 2AM.

Welcome to Dragon Cave! Dragon Cave is an online adoptables game. Collect eggs, raise them to adulthood, and then breed them to create interesting lineages. New types of dragons are added regularly!
Swallowtail Dragons are graceful and quick flyers, much like their namesake bird. They are capable of precise aerial acrobatics, and can reach very high altitudes. Because of this, humans observing these dragons are often astonished at how large they are when confronted up close. A Swallowtail's diet consists of insects and small mammals plentiful in temperate forests. These dragons are also made remarkable by their paper-thin wing membranes, which allow light to pass through, creating an astonishing effect on starry nights.
Dragons are creatures with nearly unlimited life spans. They can survive for long periods of time, and no one has found a dragon that has died of old age. Adolescence is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling's wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. Once they hit adolescence, hatchlings change quickly, maturing to their full forms in only 2 years.
Dragons don't communicate with each other verbally, but they will growl to scare off predators and frighten prey. Young dragons will emit an extremely high-pitched squeal when they are frightened. To communicate, they use telepathy with each other and to speak to other creatures.

The hubby and I decided to go out on a dinner date last night. I wanted to wear something that I haven't worn in a long time. I reached into my closet and pulled out that pencil skirt and the v-neck floral tee. I was definitely in the mood to try something different with my outfit. Trying the high-waisted look was very daring for me. I still wanted to be comfy, so I threw on this plum-colored sweater and patent leather flats. I love these flats, they are super comfy. I bought them a year ago and I wear them all the time! Hope I don't look too grumpy. I'm still sick and wasn't having much luck with my camera.

"Devolution will be and is the salvation of the UK", Tony Blair said in 1999. Fifteen years later, as Scotland prepares to vote in the referendum on its independence, some might say devolution will be turn out to be Britain's downfall. But that is not stopping politicians from giving the former prime minister's gambit another try.
On Monday, the Conservatives became the third of the three main Westminster parties to publish proposals for powers that could be devolved to Scotland in the case of a No vote on September 18. In part this is belated realpolitik. Further devolution, rather than independence or the status quo, is not on the ballot paper. In hindsight, Prime Minister David Cameron may come to see that decision as myopic. It is an option that remains popular with Scottish voters, as politicians from both sides know.
The prime minister's short-termism notwithstanding, the Conservative offer should be seen as part of a response to longer-term trends. Centrifugal forces are undermining British cohesion. Scotland is the most obvious manifestation of this trend but it is also apparent in Wales, Northern Ireland, and don't forget, England. Read more

You might remember the day...
It was a bright April afternoon, Swindon Town were taking one of their regular tilts at the play-offs.
In those days it was the old Second Division, or the Championship as it is now. The visitors were Watford, a decent enough team, but Town got the early breakthrough through "Chalky" White inside the opening quarter-of-an-hour.
It was about then that the first reports were starting to drift through.
I was commentating on what looked like turning into another successful season under Lou Macari.
What became clear over the next couple of hours, was that football hardly mattered that day.
For the record, Watford equalised and Swindon gained another poInt. The day I'm talking about April 15, 1989. It's a day we'll commemorate this weekend.
Matches will kick off at seven minutes past three today to pay tribute to those who lost their lives that fateful day at Hillsborough.
As the afternoon unfolded it became obvious that the FA Cup semi-final between Liverpool and Nottingham Forest was the scene of one of the game's blackest days.
The job of talking about Swindon's game became secondary as news of the first deaths came through.
I spoke to club officials after the match. All, like every fan, were visibly shocked. Just a few years after the Bradford fire, another tragedy had scarred football.
At that moment there was confusion about what exactly had happened. That is still being investigated all these years later. Hopefully the truth will emerge, giving some peace to those who lost loved ones that day.
Whoever is to blame one thing is sure, football fans went to a game and never came back. That should never happen.
Watching a sport should never cost you your life.
Following that day, the landscape of the sport changed forever.
The victims deserve their memory to be respected and that dreadful day never to be forgotten.

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Before onunload</title>

I'm a heading, yay!

window.onbeforeunload = function() {
return "Your text here";
P.S. +1 for adding "for me" to your question.
Just try to be aware that onbeforeunload is not supported by all web browser. Opera for example, will do nothing with it.
The following article has some wise words to say on the topic of when it's appropriate to use, and on other alternatives too.Don't Let the Door Hit You Onunload and Onbeforeunload
Oh wow, you're right.I didn't know that.Thanks.
Out of interest, what would you suggest as a cross-browser way of informing the user that they are, for example, about to navigate away from a page and in so doing will lose their unsaved work.Example where this might be useful: composing a message on SitePoint when you accidentally click on a link which takes you away from your current page.
It seems that SP is using the beforeonunload technique, as if you try to navigate away from an unposted message in Chrome, you get a pop up asking you if you really want to do this, whereas Opera will happily navigate you away from the page and your post is lost.
Or, am I approaching the problem from the wrong angle and should I be asking "What's the best way to autosave a user's work in case they navigate away from an unposted message".
What I'd do is to save a draft on a times basis (every 1 minutes, for example) whether that be locally or via an ajax request, and use the onunload event to to fire off another save too. That way you can have an undo system, or step back to one of the previous drafts.[/quote]
Yes, that's the better way to do things. An undo system is a better interface than a warning system.
Ah ok, that sounds good.I've been doing a bit of reading and it seems that browsers are blocking alerts which fire onunload.I'm guessing that a save would be unaffected.
@Fergal ; Just out of interest, what are you trying to do?Do you really want an alert box to pop up when the user attempts to leave the site, or are you trying to implement something else and this was just pseudo-code?
I am having the same problem with a site where users are entering critical data into a page using CKEditor.They click on a Save button on the page to save the data, the same function being executed when the page is unloaded or the window is closed.
I am using "body onunload" which works fine in IE8, but doesn't work at all in Firefox or Chrome.None of the other solutions I have found seem to work for Firefox or Chrome and then don't work for IE8 either.
The users are getting grouchy because they just moved from IE8 to Chrome for entering this data, and Chrome has a habit of updating itself and updating the page, which causes the report content to be lost.
Ideally I want to find an Unload trigger that works in IE8, Chrome and Firefox, but an alternative would be if I could save the data that they were typing every minute, a solution that I see mentioned here. Not sure how to go about that though. Could someone please point me in the right direction.
Since posting this I have investigated autosaves and there is an Autosave plugin for CKEditor which I am now looking at.Hopefully this will resolve my problem, since I just can't get any OnUnload functions to work on all browsers.
This is because the onunload event not supported properly (if at all) in Chrome or Opera.
I think the autosave plugin is the best way for you to go in this situation.
I thought the same too, then realized the Autosave only works with CKEditor4, which I tried to install months ago but which doesn't work properly with iFrames.
Since it's too hard to rewrite the site to not use iFrames (right now at least) I am back looking at onUnload.
I can get a popup to work when the window is closed in Chrome, but because I can't add any logic to the function, the user is still prompted after pressing a button to save/close the page.
Seems no matter what I try it's not working in all browers. Chrome is so good in many other ways, but this is ridiculous.
As stated before, it won't really be possible to implement this in a cross-browser fashion, due primarily to support for onunload events varying between browsers.
I would therefore opt for the alternative solution of saving the content every minute or every thirty seconds.
To do this, use JS's setInterval function:
console.log("I will be invoked every second indefinitely");
}, 1000);
To cancel setInterval assign it a variable and use clearInterval.
var i = setInterval(function(){
console.log("I will be invoked every second indefinitely");
}, 1000);

I was reading a tutorial and it had the following code:
- Code: Select all
# gives [(0, 0), (0, 1), (1, 0), (1, 1)]
[(x, y) for x in range(2) for y in range (2)]
Also, how can I print this list out onto the screen?
How does the counting work in this case? That's the bit I'm confused about. If somebody could walk through it step-by-step that would be great, thanks.

text: NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - AT&T ( T) boss Ralph de la Vega took the stage this morning at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas to keynote what's new for 2013. He talked about lots of new services - but only one new smartphone. For instance, AT&T's "U-verse" cable TV service. First of all, subscribers will soon have access to instant playback of thousands of movies on their TVs (Channel 9910) or via the Uverse.com app for tablets and smartphones. Think in terms of a Netflix ( NFLX)-type service for AT&T users. But, unlike Netflix, AT&T will offer the new deal "U-verse Screen Pack" for only $5 per month. Previews start today and run through Sunday, Jan.13. How about another U-verse app called "Twonky Beam" which lets you play a (compatible) video clip from your smartphone to a larger TV screen in your home? Or "Pix & Flix" which lets you share photos from your phone? Or new deals for developers? Plus, an extension of the "It Can Wait" program which highlights the dangers of texting while driving? Then there's AT&T's Digital Life Home Security and Automation service. It lets you control everything from your thermostat to door and window locks from anywhere your smartphone can connect to the Internet. There'll be several package options. The service will begin rolling out in eight markets beginning in March. And finally a phone. The Pantech Discover. Big 4.8-inch touchscreen (720 by 1280 pixels), 12.6 megapixel camera and 3D/stereo speakers. Looks great on paper. Priced right, too. AT&T will start selling the Discover on Jan. 11 for only $50 with a proper two-year contract/ --Written by Gary Krakow in New York. >To submit a news tip, send an email to: email@example.com.

Fla. to use social media to tout job numbers
Published: Friday, May 17, 2013 at 9:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 17, 2013 at 9:52 a.m.
TALLAHASSEE — Florida Gov. Rick Scott is using social media to tout the latest jobless numbers.
The Scott administration on Friday plans to use a new twitter account — (at)ItsWorkingFL— to announce April unemployment figures for the state.
The state's jobless rate in March dropped to 7.5 percent. That's the lowest level the rate has been since 2008.
Scott has made job creation a central focus of his administration.
The governor also plans to talk about the latest unemployment figures during a Friday morning stop at a Tampa manufacturing firm.
Scott also plans on his visit to sign a bill dealing giving a tax break to manufacturers. The bill was one of his top priorities this year.

Women's Basketball Coaching StaffFlames Home > Women's Basketball Home > Coaching Staff > Coach Detail
Dave WilliamsWomen's Basketball Strength & Conditioning Coach
College: Fairmont State ('68)
Start Date: August 1983
Email: email@example.com
Considered one of the top strength coaches in the country, Dave Williams is in his 29th year as a member of the strength and conditioning coaching staff for the Flames' 20-sport athletics program and his seventh year working with the Liberty women's basketball team. He is a certified strength and conditioning specialist (C.S.C.S.).
In 2008, Williams was named a Master Strength and Conditioning Coach by the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches association (CSCCa). He is now one of 102 Master Strength and Conditioning Coaches in the world.
During the 1992-93 school year, Williams was one of five finalists nominated for strength coach of the year. This included strength coaches from the professional sports ranks, along with colleagues at the collegiate level.
"I'm thankful to have such a concerned and qualified strength and conditioning coach," noted head women's basketball coach Carey Green. "He is simply the best, and his credentials of being a Master Strength and Conditioning Coach prove it. He really cares about our players and puts his heart into working with them."
Prior to accepting his current position at Liberty, Williams served three years as the head strength coach at Texas A&M. He also spent a year as an assistant strength coach at Alabama.
Before entering the strength and conditioning profession, Williams spent six years as a teacher and coach. He coached two years at Liberty High School in Bedford, Va., and spent four seasons at Timberlake Christian School in Lynchburg, Va.
Williams earned Associated Press Little All-America honors while playing collegiately at Fairmont State College in Fairmont, W.Va. He played both offensive and defensive line and was a two-year co-captain at Fairmont State, who was NAIA National Champions in 1967. In 2003, the school honored Williams by inducting him into the Fairmont State College Athletic Department Hall of Fame.
Williams also was an All-West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference selection. He played high school football at South Charleston High School in South Charleston, W.Va., where he lettered all four years.

How Edit
- Do not edit a (temporarily) protected page. If you edit one anyway, please stop when asked to.
- If you think a protected page needs changing, say so on its talk page or on the user talk pages of one of the admins.
- Add a {{protected}} boilerplate message to the top of temporarily protected pages.
- Include pages you protect or unprotect on the list below.

Editing protected pages Edit
The policy concerning the editing of protected pages does not apply to the permanently-protected pages. For pages that are only temporarily protected, administrators should never edit the page. Editing the page would constitute an imbalance in privileges between the administrators and the general community. Instead, discuss potential changes on the talk page first, and only make those changes when the page is no longer protected.

Nats' fast start backs Haren in win over Tigers
Washington scores three in first, two in second in support of righty
WASHINGTON -- The Nationals scored early and often, and it proved to be enough as they edged the Tigers, 5-4, at Nationals Park on Thursday afternoon. Washington swept the two-game series and is now on a four-game winning streak, improving its record to 19-15.
"I'm really happy with the team coming away with the two-game sweep against a club of that caliber. I think we are headed in the right direction," right-hander Dan Haren said. "We have come a long way within a week -- it seems like. We lose the first two games in Atlanta. No one was really feeling great. Jordan [Zimmermann] pitched a huge game that third day in Atlanta, and things have kind of turned since then."
The two-game series was considered a World Series preview between the Nationals and Tigers, and Washington showed how tough it could be. It played like that team that won the National League East title last year. It was about timely hitting, solid pitching and superb defense. Did the Nationals leave a message about how good they can be?
"I don't think we need to send a message. It's just nice to see us starting to get some timely hits," manager Davey Johnson said. "I've liked the progress we've kind of made. It was great to see [Ryan Zimmerman] swinging the bat really good. Adam LaRoche continues to swing the bat good. That's the big thing for me today."
Nats outfielder Denard Span said it's too early to make predictions about the two clubs.
"Our starters threw a little better than their starters," Span said. "No message at all. We are going to face them at their place in about a month or so. It was good to play a team like that and win."
The Nats entered Thursday's game with 11 first-inning runs, the fewest in the National League and third fewest in Major League Baseball, while Tigers right-hander Doug Fister had not allowed a first-inning run, and only four first-inning hits, over six starts.
That would change Thursday, as Washington scored three runs off Fister in the first inning. After Span led off with a double and Roger Bernadina reached base on a bunt single, Bryce Harper grounded into a fielder's choice, with Span scoring on the play to give the Nationals a 1-0 lead.
After Zimmerman singled to put runners on first and second, LaRoche singled to center fielder Austin Jackson, who allowed the ball to go past him for an error which allowed Harper to score.
Ian Desmond followed and singled to center field, scoring Zimmerman.
"It was probably his worst outing of the year," Tigers catcher Alex Avila said about Fister. "He's pitched really good for quite a while now. You have to give him credit, he battled. ... He was just leaving some stuff up and stayed over the middle of the plate today, didn't have as good command as he normally does."
Haren (4-3) started for the Nationals and said he wasn't at his best during the game. It didn't help that he was pitching on extra rest because of the off-day this past Monday and the rainout Tuesday.
"I was searching for it all game. I was able to wiggle myself through. It's funny how it works. I held the one through four hitters in check, and then the bottom of the lineup killed me," Haren said.
Haren pitched six innings, allowing four runs on nine hits. The Tigers scored their first run of the game in the second inning, when Fister singled to center field to score Jhonny Peralta.
The Nationals added to their lead in the bottom of the inning. Zimmerman and LaRoche had RBI singles to make it a four-run game.
But the Tigers would make it close in the sixth inning, when pinch-hitter Matt Tuiasosopo hit a three-run homer to make it a one-run game.
Nationals relievers Ryan Mattheus, Drew Storen and Rafael Soriano blanked Detroit the rest of the way, with Soriano picking up his 12th save, though it was not an easy one.
In the ninth, Soriano was able to get two quick outs, but Miguel Cabrera singled to right field, bringing up Prince Fielder.
On a 1-0 pitch, Fielder hammered the ball to deep left-center field, but Span managed to catch the ball in front of the wall to end the game.
"You never know with him," Span said about Fielder. "He can take a big swing every time. I kept inching back, inching back. Wow."
Johnson didn't think the ball was going out of the park once it was hit.
"I didn't think he got all of it," Johnson said. "The ball didn't seem to carry. I was glad to see the ball stop in front of the wall."

The Perfect Apple Accessory (That's Not A Case)
Mobile projectors aren't just for office presentations anymore!
-The Betty Editors
|This post is brought to you by 3M.
It?s easy to love Apple products — and love to accessorize them. Beyond cases, headphones and docking stations, there?s a new way to have even more fun: a mobile projector. Before, you may have thought of mobile projectors as something for office presentations or techno geeks. But today's models are smaller, easier, brighter and designed to work with iPods, iPhones and iPads.
One to try: the 3M Mobile Projector. Designed to work with all your favorite Apple gadgets, it's simple to use and has lots of cool features, including 32 lumens for 2 hours, a screen size up to 80" and even a built-in flip stand.
The best part? Because the 3M Mobile Projector is small enough to stash in your purse, you can create a screen just about anywhere: on a wall, a ceiling, a t-shirt — even a cocktail napkin. While enjoying cocktails, of course.
After playing with the 3M Mobile Projector, we found lots of ways to use it. Here's our top 10 list:
1. Vacation sensation. Show off the stunning scenery from your last vacation. Invite the girls over, whip up mango margaritas and play a slideshow of your vacay photos on the wall.
2. Stars under the stars. Create the ultimate backyard sleepover by hooking up a mobile projector to your iPad and watching movies on the tent wall. Better than s'mores!
3. Gaming to the next level. Forget the kids. Imagine the larger-than-life excitement for you, playing Wii Mario Kart or Xbox 360 Call of Duty on the wall or ceiling.
4. Happier birthday. Your adorable child turned 4. Of course you created an iMovie of her life thus far, set to music. Make a big production out of it by showing it on the kitchen wall during cake and ice cream.
5. Roadtrip companion. Whether you're going across town or across country, the kids can project a movie on the back seat of the car for hours of entertainment.
6. Score cool points. Baseball. Soccer. Ballet. Projecting is the perfect way to show off photos and videos of your kids' sports and activities. You know, before they go pro.
7. Out of the office. You're jetting off to the Hong Kong headquarters, but need to approve designs. Skip the tiny mobile phone image — connect and project right onto your hotel room wall.
8. A+ report card. The kids will be star pupils when they share school projects with their classmates. Talk about collaborative learning.
9. Rainy day fun. Pop the popcorn, cuddle under the covers, hook up your mobile projector to your iPad and watch Netflix movies on the ceiling.
10. Family reunion. Crazy Uncle Charlie. Loud Aunt Lucy. At the annual golf tournament and poker extravaganza, you'll delight the crowd with a projected slide show of photos from years past.

Man reportedly threatened over money; another man arrested
Published: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 5:13 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 6, 2013 at 5:13 p.m.
A Gainesville man who authorities say threatened to hurt or kill another man unless his family sent money was arrested Friday by the Alachua County Sheriff's Office.
Rahim Perry, 20, was charged with robbery and kidnapping by Deputy Kevin Davis, according to ASO.
The Sheriff's Office said the incident began when Perry became upset with the victim, who reportedly owed him $240 after backing out of an agreement to sell his vehicle to Perry.
Perry threatened to hurt or kill the man unless he or his family paid him $2,000, ASO reported.
The man, fearing violence, called a family member in Arizona and requested that he send the money through Western Union. The relative agreed to send $750.
Perry then made several phone calls to the family member to make arrangements for delivery of the money, again threatening violence if the money was not sent, ASO said.
Perry accompanied the victim as he drove to the Publix at 3720 NW 13th Street, where surveillance video captured the victim getting the money and handing it over to Perry, according to ASO.
Authorities had been alerted and ASO asked for assistance from the Gainesville Police Department. As Perry left the store, he was detained by GPD officers, who had located the victim's vehicle in the parking lot.

1 1/4 cup beer
1 2/3 cup all- purpose flour
2 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2/3 cup shredded coconut
2lb peeled and deveined raw Gulf jumbo shrimp
oil for deep-frying
1 recipe quantity Island Slaw

Water and Light
Your trusted source of water and electricity for over 100 years.

Chloramines are formed when ammonia is added to chlorinated water. Chlorine kills bacteria, viruses and other organisms that could cause serious waterborne illnesses and death. A small amount of ammonia is then added to stop the formation of disinfection by-products. The chloramine disinfection process has been used by water utilities for almost 90 years. Over 68 million people in the United States drink water disinfected with the chloramine method.
Please see the letter from the Missouri Department of Natural Resources about the use of chloramine.
Also see the Water Quality Report and the water testing results for more information about our water.
Chloraminated water is safe for drinking, bathing, cooking, gardening and other household tasks. Chloramines must be removed before using the water in fish tanks. Products for chloramine removal are available through aquarium supply stores. As with chlorine, the chloramines should be removed from the water when used in kidney dialysis machines. Patients undergoing dialysis should check with their doctors about the dialysis filtering method being used.
Yes. The Missouri Department of Natural Resources recommends Columbia switch to the chlorine disinfection method for a brief period each year. Chlorine helps clean any nitrate build up in the distribution system that could aid bacterial growth. Generally the change of disinfection methods happens in the spring/summer. Customers might notice the water has a stronger chlorine taste during this time.
Approximately two milligrams per liter. For comparison, this would be similar to adding six grains of table salt to a one gallon container of water.
Although water is considered to have no taste, there are subtle differences. Some people notice the difference between chlorinated water and chloraminated water. Mainly people report that they do not notice the taste or odor of chlorine as much with chloraminated water.
Until August 2009, Columbia Water & Light used the chlorine disinfection method. The switch to chloramine disinfection was made after the levels of Total Trihalomethanes exceeded the maximum contaminant level of 80 micrograms per liter in 2008. Trihalomethanes are a by-product of the disinfection process. They are formed when chlorine breaks down organic material in the water. Research showed that the chloramine disinfection process would slow the formation of total trihalomethanes. Both the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the Columbia City Council approved switching to this disinfection method. After the disinfection method was changed, the amount of Total Trihalomethanes dropped by at least 50%.
Trihalomethanes present problems over a long period of time. Long-term exposure to levels of Trihalomethanes that exceed the maximum contaminant level is a health concern. When the amount is exceeded, consuming two liters of water per day for over 70 years could result in three to four cancers per 10,000 people. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, people drinking water exceeding the standards for Trihalomethanes over a long period of time might also experience problems with their liver, kidneys or central nervous system. Columbia's water exceeded the maximum contaminant level for Total Trihalomethanes in 2008. Since that time the amount has been reduced by at least 50%.
The levels of trihalomethanes have fluctuated and seasonally the levels have gone up over the years. The Environmental Protection Agency lowered the maximum contaminant level for Total Trihalomethanes in 2004. The water distribution system has also grown substantially since the water treatment plant was built and it takes longer for the water to reach the furthest parts of the distribution system. This means there is more time for the chemical reaction between the organic material and the chlorine to form Trihalomethanes. In order to keep the levels of Trihalomethanes low, the city switched to the chloramine disinfection method as approved by the Missouri Department of Natural Resources. For more detailed information, please see the 2009 Water Resources Research Center's final report on disinfection by-products in Columbia's water system.

DUANE Darby is set for a surprise return to Cradley Town.
The former boss has been named as the replacement to previous manager Nigel Birch.
Darby will take up the position at the start of next season despite the fact he quit the club to take up a first-team coaching role with Midland Combination outfit Bromsgrove Sporting just last year.
Birch announced two weeks ago that he was going to step down as manager at the end of the current campaign due to plans to relocate after taking up a new job outside of football.
However, he has since resigned earlier than planned and left assistant Ian Broad to take charge of the side for the remaining fixtures.
Club secretary David Attwood said: "Duane Darby will be the manager next year and it will be good if he can build on what we have achieved this season.
"Nigel left earlier than we expected but we are pleased that Duane will be our manager next season.
"He is a different sort of manager to Nigel and will just quietly go about his work."
Cradley have lost the last two games under temporary boss Broad. They suffered defeat away from home against Malvern last weekend before going down 1-0 at Ellesmere Rangers on Tuesday night.
The Hammers will now travel to take on another away fixture when they meet Smethwick Rangers this Saturday.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 10/2/2013 (1653 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
OTTAWA -- There was a whole lot of shouting last week over whether there is something nefarious at play in the redistribution of Saskatchewan's 14 federal ridings.
The opposition smelled blood after the Conservatives had to admit the party was behind a robocall aimed at rousing public anger against proposed changes to Saskatchewan's ridings. The party's spokesman, Fred Delorey, and Saskatchewan MP Tom Lukiwski, denied the party was behind the calls, which claimed the changes betrayed "Saskatchewan values."
After an investigation by the Ottawa Citizen matched the voice on the call to the owner of the Edmonton robocall company used mainly by the Conservatives, Delorey admitted the call came from them. He blamed an "internal miscommunication" for the fact the calls weren't identified as coming from the Conservative party. That violates Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission rules requiring all calls to identify the source.
So, now we have the opposition yelling that the party broke CRTC rules and is trying to gerrymander Saskatchewan all at the same time.
On the first count, it appears the party did break the rules. Liberal Frank Valeriote's Guelph riding association was fined $4,900 by the CRTC last year for not identifying itself as the source of a robocall during the 2011 federal election. Conservative MPs have crowed about it for months. (Pot, meet kettle?)
But what about the other accusation? Is a push poll by a political party evidence of gerrymandering?
At worst, it's likely this poll was in bad taste, as it appeared to question the ethics or impartiality of the independent three-member commission in Saskatchewan that's making the decision about the riding boundaries.
The root of the issue is eight of the 14 ridings in Saskatchewan are known as "rurban" ridings, a mix of rural and urban areas. The riding redistribution commission in Saskatchewan last year announced plans to rejig the ridings to have five ridings that will be almost entirely urban. The idea is that city folk have more in common with other city folk and rural folk with rural folk.
But there is also a political fight at play because the existing ridings see the NDP's more urban vote split between ridings. Despite earning one in three votes in Saskatchewan in 2011, the NDP didn't win a single seat, and finished second in 13 of them.
The Conservatives' knickers are in a knot about the changes mainly because they could lose several seats in the next election, although their public argument is the changes will pit rural and urban voters against each other.
So the question may be, is it gerrymandering in favour of the NDP to change the ridings or are the Tories attempting to gerrymander to keep Saskatchewan ridings easier to win?
At the end of the day, Canadians and Saskatchewan residents have to trust the commission will make its decision based on what's right for voters, not for any of the political parties.
In each province, a three-member commission is appointed to do the redistribution. The commission is made up of a provincial judge appointed by the chief justice in each province, and two members chosen by the Speaker of the House of Commons. In this case, that is Conservative MP Andrew Scheer, but his choices were not partisan. In Manitoba, he chose two political science professors.
They listened to submissions from the public and MPs -- including some who seemed intent on changing ridings to favour one party or another. Three Conservative MPs wanted to redraw Elmwood-Transcona to remove the NDP-leaning Elmwood and replace it with more Conservative-friendly rural areas to the east.
But there were also presentations made by other party supporters seeking to prevent the more Conservative-friendly Lindenwoods from being added to Winnipeg South Centre, which will make the riding harder for the Liberals to win back.
The commission rejected both ideas.
A push poll may be questionable and for the Conservatives to deny involvement is sketchy. But at the end of the day, it is still a non-partisan committee making the new maps.

WORCESTERSHIRE County Council is urging businesses across the county to start 2013 by signing up for a new grant to help reduce running costs.
The county council, working in partnership with Herefordshire and Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce, has been awarded funding from the West Midlands European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) programme to support small and medium-sized enterprises in becoming more resource efficient.
Businesses can qualify for grants and free assessments to help reduce costs of energy, waste, water and raw materials and improve profitability.
The free assessments on offer involve providing businesses with a practical appraisal of their current premises, equipment, processes and performance to identify opportunities to reduce energy consumption and waste and improve use of water and raw materials.
Businesses will receive a comprehensive report and advice, including changes that can be introduced at little to no cost. They can then also apply for a grant to make other improvements more affordable by contributing up to 45 per cent to projects costing up to £15,000.
Grants can cover the installation of energy-efficient equipment such as heating, insulation and ventilation, in addition to supporting water-saving measures and programmes for better use of waste and recycling.
The grants are intended to help businesses significantly reduce the costs of introducing efficiency measures, while helping improve their environmental credentials.
To be eligible for an assessment or grant a business must be located in and trading from Worcestershire in a field other than agriculture or retail, employ fewer than 250 employees and have a turnover of under 50 million Euros - about £40 million.
The funding is available to businesses until March 2015. They are encouraged, however, to sign up quickly to be able to take advantage of the free assessments and grants as soon as possible.
Norman Price, deputy chairman of the West Midlands ERDF Local Management Committee, said: "Over recent years small businesses have been faced by high and fluctuating energy costs, resulting in significant risk to profits and, in some cases, viability.
"For issues such as this, ERDF funding is the perfect solution to step in and help support local businesses.
"Evidence has shown that significant cost savings, commercial benefits and carbon emission reductions can be achieved through improvements to energy efficiency and investment in this area.
"This programme will help make that investment through the offer of free energy and resource assessments to businesses, outlining possible improvements and the option to make these a reality through available grants."
The county council's cabinet member for the environment, Conservative Anthony Blagg, said: "This is a great opportunity for businesses in Worcestershire to benefit from funding that will both help with running costs and put in place measures to cut costs in future while raising their green credentials."
Cassie Bray, head of business engagement at Herefordshire and Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce, said: "Many small and medium-sized enterprises are keen to focus on resource efficiency and acknowledge that they could make savings.
"This project will provide companies with focussed solutions that could generate significant cost savings, impacting positively on the profitability of businesses across the county."
For more information or to register for an assessment, call 01905 822833 or visit business-central.co.uk/resource-efficiency-grants

McCarthy remains winless after six-run start vs. Rox
Right-hander struggles to put away hitters with two outs, falls to 0-3
PHOENIX -- One of Brandon McCarthy's strengths as a pitcher is how he is able to mentally focus on each pitch and not let any frustration linger.
But everyone has their breaking point, and the D-backs' right-hander sounded like he was near his as he tried to explain another loss, this one a 6-3 defeat to the Rockies on Friday night at Chase Field.
"I've never been through a stretch like this," McCarthy said. "I'm not one to sit around and feel sorry for myself, but it gets to a point where when the heck is the ball going to go to somebody?"
McCarthy was signed to a two-year free-agent deal this offseason, and after five starts he is 0-3 with a 7.48 ERA.
There have been some poor performances in those starts, but there have also been nights like Friday, when he felt like he had good stuff but was the victim of some bad luck and a couple of poorly located pitches.
Five of the six runs that McCarthy allowed came with two outs, when a well-placed pitch might have made the difference.
In the first inning, the Rockies got a base hit on a grounder through the hole at third and Carlos Gonzalez blooped a single to left. Then with two outs, McCarthy made what he thought was a good pitch to Michael Cuddyer, but the veteran was able to drive the ball to right for a two-run single.
"Things finding holes, bunt hits and that's like the third CarGo hit this year," McCarthy said. "It gets pretty frustrating pretty quick, and it makes your margin for error so small. [The] Cuddyer pitch [was] not bad, it was where I wanted it, he just hit it."
The D-backs tied the game with a pair of runs in the second, one of which came on an opposite-field homer by Eric Chavez.
After the first, McCarthy seemed to settle in, and he threw three consecutive scoreless innings.
In the fifth, some well-placed hits and one misplaced pitch would tip the game in the Rockies' favor.
Reid Brignac legged out an infield single and was wiped out on a failed sacrifice attempt by Juan Nicasio. Dexter Fowler reached on a bunt single, and a single to center by Jordan Pacheco loaded the bases.
McCarthy, though, seemed poised to get out of the inning when he got Gonzalez to strike out on a nifty two-seam fastball.
That brought Troy Tulowitzki to the plate, and he jumped on a first-pitch cut fastball that McCarthy left up in the zone and drove it for a three-run double and a 5-3 Colorado lead.
"The Tulo pitch [stunk]," McCarthy said.
The Rockies added a run in the sixth on a home run by Wilin Rosario.
"There were two bad pitches tonight that I'd like to have back," McCarthy said. "It's the Tulo one and the home run."
The mistake to Tulowitzki was more about location than pitch selection.
"First-pitch cutter, that's how we've attacked him," McCarthy said. "That's what I would throw again, I just wouldn't throw it there again. It just kind of came out of my hand funny."
Which led to no one laughing.
"It's frustrating, even for me," D-backs catcher Miguel Montero said. "I'm calling the games and I just feel like I can't help him to get through it and it's just tough. He threw the ball good, he just missed a couple of bad pitches at the wrong time, like he said. I thought it was a good pitch down and away to Cuddyer in the first inning and he put a good swing on it, so there's nothing you can do about it."
The D-backs had their opportunities against Nicasio and the Colorado bullpen, but were 1-for-9 with runners in scoring position.
They will get no sympathy from the Rockies, who went 1-for-11 with runners in scoring position in losing the first game of the series Thursday.
"We were able to get the big hit tonight," Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. "Juan gave us a chance and the bullpen gave us the rest."
The D-backs also had a scare when shortstop Didi Gregorius was hit in the helmet by a 93-mph fastball from Rockies reliever Josh Outman in the seventh inning.
The club initially listed the rookie as day to day with a contusion to the right temple, but he could land on the seven-day disabled list if a CT scan reveals he suffered a concussion.
D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said the 23-year-old underwent a written concussion test upon leaving the game and passed it "with flying colors."
"That shows he has no neurological problems," Gibson said.

Since like Mito Uzumaki is both Kushina Uzumaki and Tsunade grandmother, Doesn't that mean they're like step sisters or cousins?
Kushina and Tsunade
Isn't Mito just Kushina's predescessor (forgive the spelling) for being the ninetail's jinchuriiki? the manga also states that she was also from the land of whirpools. Was it mentioned that Mito was also part of the UZUMAKI clan from the land of whirpools? --- ShuHanShi
Mito Uzumaki is not the Grandmother of Kushina Uzumaki, they are just from the same clan, though this would suggest that they are related (most liekly by blood due to the special chakras they both have) it would also mean that in terms of Tsunade being related (distantly) to Kushina this is possible (as with naruto) as the manga has stated that the 1st was married to Mito (but untill the manga explicitly says that Mito is Lady Tsunade's Grandmother we can only assume so) -- Adott

Meeting of Minds at Cannes Lions
June 20, 2012
Check out the video below of Ann Lewnes (@alewnes), our SVP of Global Marketing and Steve Plimsoll, CTO of Mindshare, who caught up this week at Cannes Lions (@Cannes_Lions) to chat about the exciting launch of CORE.
CORE is a data-driven marketing intelligence platform from Mindshare that empowers both analysts and non-technical users to make informed marketing spend, audience targeting and creative optimisation decisions across all touch points, in real-time. It brings together data sets such as CRM, sales and supply chain data, with media channel spend, social, audience profiles and real-time trading information. It reveals consumer actions and insight at a granular level, taking away the guesswork, latency and siloed nature of marketing-spend decision making.
The digital marketing team here at Adobe (@AdobeUK), has been working closely with Steve on CORE, with Adobe Insight, part of the Digital Marketing Suite, powering the user interface for data visualisation, modelling, data mining and reporting.
In an age where the amount of data available to marketers has never been greater, the value of all this data lies in the ability to deliver actionable insight in real-time. It was great to see CORE in action!
