Coke Ad Called Racist: Coca Cola Super Bowl Commercial Slammed (VIDEO)
A Coke ad has been called racist after depicting an Arab-American in a way that critics have condemned as being "stereotypical." The new Coke commercial has been created for an advertising campaign for this year's Super Bowl, which takes place this weekend and is one of the most watched sporting events on TV each year.
The advertisement though has proven controversial, and Coca Cola has now come under fire from the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, which has condemned the commercial.
In the commercial an Arab-American man can be seen walking through the desert as he pulls along a camel next to him. The man continues along the sandy terrain until he finally comes across some cowboys as well as some Las Vegas showgirls.
However, the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee have rebuked the commercial, saying it stereotypes Arabs and are calling for Coca Cola to amend the commercial before it airs during this year's Super Bowl event.
The committee is attempting to rally support and apply pressure on the drinks giant to make last minute adjustments.
"Why is it that Arabs are always shown as either oil-rich sheiks, terrorists, or belly dancers?" said Warren David, president of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, according to Reuters.
However, Coca Cola's ad is not the only one this year to stoke controversy.
German car manufacturer Volkswagen have also released a Super Bowl ad this year which has come under fire. The commercial is said to have cost $10 million and is expected to air on Feb. 3.
The Volkswagen ad features a white man who speaks with a strong Jamaican accent. as he progresses around the office where he works he shouts words of encouragement with a number of phrases generally associated with West Indians.
The man begins the ad saying, "No worries mon! Every-ting will be alright!"
While some viewers have said the ad was "funny," others have questioned whether it enforces stereotypes and have deemed it bordering on racist.
Here is a video of the controversial Coca Cola ad for this year's Super Bowl:

Alan Pardew's men had enjoyed back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time this season before slipping to defeat against Tottenham Hotspur at the weekend and the Magpies can be backed at 6/5 (2.20) with William Hill to bounce back with victory here.
Metalist, of course, have not played a competitive game since losing to Rapid Vienna in the group stages of this competition in December with the Ukrainian league currently midway through a three-month winter break.
Nonetheless, the Ukrainian side are rated as 23/10 (3.30) shots with William Hill to win on Tyneside while the same firm also offer 23/10 (3.30) that the first leg ends in stalemate.
Throughout the competition thus far, Magpies manager Alan Pardew has used the Europa League as an opportunity to give some fringe players an opportunity to make an impact and should that policy continue on Thursday night, a tight match seems likely.
Indeed, William Hill offer just 7/10 (1.70) that the match features fewer than three goals while the same firm offer a tempting 19/20 (1.95) that the contest is level at half time.
However, it should be noted that Newcastle boast an impressive home record in the Europa League, having won three and drawn one of their four home matches in the competition so far and they will fancy their chances of victory against the ring-rusty Ukrainians, who were held to a 1-1 draw with Whitley Bay in a friendly game on Sunday.
Therefore, the Magpies should be backed at an appealing 6/5 (2.20) with William Hill to take a slender lead into next week's return leg in Kharkiv while the same firm's juicy 13/2 (7.50) quote for the home side to win 1-0 is the value selection in this match.

[Verse 1: CyHi]
It may seem I'm sitting on a fortune
But sometimes money isn't so important
In my hood, I'm equivalent to Jordan
Dribbling on the court, but shawty I'm just recording
Fuck tricking, rather give it to an orphan
All you wanna do it hit the clit until it's sore, then
Get her pregnant, then neglect it
Then you go and tell the chick "get an abortion"
Them type of niggas Cyhi is not endorsing
They sitting down to take a leak, I'm pissing on the porcelain..
I'm from the South, but my parents are New Yorkin
Shouts out to Albany - I see you Uncle Norman!
Keep your family before friends
'Cause God is the only one that come before them
You got a nephew? Well, go support him!
You got some nieces, make sure that you adore them
I miss mine, cause I'm always out here touring
Or with the strippers at the Hilton up on Cortland
One from Utah, the other one from Portland
Throwin' on the Calliope, but I ain't from New Orleans
I can't lie, I lust for things
Like an old-school 'Lac or a Cut supreme
Or an iced-out G shock and a custom ring
And the freak with an ass that sits above her jeans
Woopty Doo!
Shawty stay caked up
Woopty Doo!
Just bought an Escalade truck
Woopty Doo!
You put some 26s on it
Woopty Doo!
Yo shit be looking pretty, don't it?
Woopty Doo!
You hit the club and make it rain
Woopty Doo!
You spend like 50 on the chain
But every 365 bro, you get a little wiser
And realize all that stupid shit bought was lame
Cause it don't mean shit, when you out there on your own
Cause it don't mean shit, when the Feds run in your home
Cause it don't mean shit, when you can't take care of your kids
Cause it don't mean shit, nigga, fuck what ya did
I tell them niggas "Woopty Doo! Woopty Doo! Woopty Doo!"
I tell them niggas "Woopty Doo! Woopty Doo! Woopty Doo!"
[Verse 2 - Big Sean]
Ok I'm rocking all gold
I feel like a fuckin' Pharoah from above
Bullets is bigger than fuckin' arrows
But in the middle of that peril
I'm still rocking new apparel
I just left the casino, I got money by the barrels
I feel like I'm Al Pacino
I'm counting Robert DiNero
If niggas want war, then best believe me that I'm there
You can catch me in the middle of that field like a scarecrow
Only difference is that a nigga's never scared ho
I'm tired of the cloudy days
I'm wishing for a sun
You would've thought that I was sterile
But I made it to the sky where angel asses erect us
Hollwood directors, Melrose dresses, ass that's the roundest
Toast another round up, but if I fell
Will they catch me before the ground does?
Who your real friends and friends by technicality?
They ask how your mama is, or ask for a salary?
[Verse 3 - Cyhi]
Patience is better than pride
So I'm riding factory without the leather inside
Half of y'all ain't got a car to put leather inside
Plus, the smaller the rim, the better the ride!
Suckers talk, but I never reply
Don't hate niggas, cause I've never been a confederate guy
So when I die, and look God dead in the eye
He said I got a room for you and a bed in the sky
But y'all can't get no capital cause y'all priorities fucked up
Part of the minority cause majority of us
Die by the gun and let authorities cuff us
Everyday is like "Glory" to us, bruh
So keep it cool shawty, I see the tool shawty
Niggas say they gangsta's but ain't never made the news
Call me Saint Lou cuz I'm giving y'all the Blues shawty
If you see me in the Lamb, then you know that Boo bought it
I was blessed to leave these streets
I took my first loss when I was 3 weeks deep
A lot of robbing if you not a goblin
I sold weed, but my partner rock a robin like "Twee lee lee"
Heroin and PCP
I had the kush, you want the mid, you had to see GB
So take it serious when you get money

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Tyson Ross outdueled AL Cy Young Award winner Max Scherzer, and Jedd Gyorko and Xavier Nady homered as the San Diego Padres beat the Detroit Tigers 5-1 on Sunday to take two of three.
After two shaky opening starts, Ross (1-2) struck out seven and held the Tigers to one run and six hits in seven innings. He walked one.
Scherzer (0-1) allowed four runs and four hits in five innings, struck out 10 and walked three. The Tigers have scored three runs for Scherzer in his three starts.
The Tigers have lost four of six under rookie manager Brad Ausmus, who was working in the Padres' front office when Detroit hired him in November.
Gyorko homered to left leading off the second, his first.
The Tigers tied it in the fourth, when Torii Hunter hit a leadoff double and scored on Victor Martinez's one-out single.
Scherzer faltered by walking Chase Headley and Yonder Alonso to open the fourth and the Padres jumped on him for a 4-1 lead. Venable doubled down the right-field line to bring in Headley and Alonso, and Ross singled to left to bring in Venable.
Nady, 35, hit an opposite-field pinch homer off Ian Krol an estimated 422 feet into the sandy play area beyond the fence in right-center leading off the seventh. Dating to 2012, his last three big league hits have been home runs. He homered Tuesday at Cleveland. Before that, his last homer was on Sept. 30, 2012, while with San Francisco, at Petco Park against Padres closer Huston Street.
NOTES: It was Nady's seventh career pinch homer. ... Padres manager Bud Black said there's a "probability" LF Carlos Quentin will take batting practice on the field before Monday's game against Colorado. Quentin opened the season on the disabled list with a bone bruise in his left knee. ... The Tigers are off Monday before opening a homestand Tuesday night, with RHP Anibal Sanchez (0-0, 3.00) scheduled to start against Zach McAllister (1-0, 2.31) of the Indians. The Padres continue their 10-game homestand with the opener of a four-game series against Colorado. LHP Eric Stults (0-2, 5.59) is scheduled to start against RHP Jordan Lyles (2-0, 3.86).

Why are you always mentioning this? You don't need full featured Office in Metro, period, now stop it! Who is gonna write the next great American novel on a Tablet? Seriously, I am not interested in doing a V-Lookup on a Tablet. I am not gonna do a relationship, create queries, forms, mail merge when I am on a Tablet in Metro mode in Windows 8. I am certainly not gonna create a 60 deck slide on a Tablet, but I might want to view one. So I don't need "FULL FEATURED Office on a Tablet".
I do need Office on Windows 8's Start screen, but just the fundamentals for basic annotation and editing. Maybe you just want to add a sentence to a document, add a clip art, move around some text, do a little cut, copy and paste. Nothing more. Maybe you want to update some numbers, insert some basic charts, basic formula functions, but you are not gonna be using every formula from Excels function library.
As Steve Sinofsky said, if you are gonna do a lot of things that require the precision of a mouse, the desktop is there for that. People do no sit down with there Tablets like they are tied to their desktop with a PC to begin with doing boring office productivity.
If you are really gonna be typing something like the following:
= IF(VLOOKUP(A3, A2:D6, 3, FALSE) >= 20, "Markup is: " & 100 * VLOOKUP(A3, A2:D6, 4, FALSE) &"%", "Cost is $" & VLOOKUP(A3, A2:D6, 3, FALSE))
You probably have a laptop already or you are gonna be using the desktop app version of Excel. The scenarios for Office on Windows 8 Metro will be casual.
I see developers creating two versions of their apps, casual and full desktop app.
So, you will have full Photoshop and Express Photoshop.
Full QuickBooks and Express Quicken
Full AutoCAD and Basic AutoCAD
Basically, versions for on the go experience.
You do know that Metro is going to be the interface for desktops and laptops as well, right?

This week we feature a blog post on Dr Jeff Leis' research. We show you how to age a shark by examining its backbone and present an image of a juvenile fish collected in French Polynesia, along with the net that collected it. We welcome Dr Barry Russell, who is currently visiting the Fish Section to further his research on lizardfishes.
Blog post about how the research of Australian Museum scientist Jeff Leis was recently featured in a leading international science magazine. The article discusses how tiny larval fishes survive in the ocean and find a reef home.

Kauffman has a rich history of working with colleges and universities to build entrepreneurship education programs and curricula because entrepreneurship is a long-term strategy for job development and economic growth.
Kansas City, Mo. (PRWEB) May 31, 2012
A model for entrepreneurship education and early-stage funding for startups, born in a community college in northeastern Ohio, will make its way to the national stage with the support of a $1 million grant from the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation.
The partnership with Lorain County Community College Foundation (LCCC) aims to replicate nationally the Ohio community college's very successful model for mentoring and funding high-growth startups, educating new founders and, in turn, spurring regional economic growth. The project, named Innovation Fund America, will begin with a pilot in three communities around the country, to be selected in the coming months. Kauffman and LCCC aim to eventually scale the model to more schools around the country and build a national network to support them.
"Kauffman has a rich history of working with colleges and universities to build entrepreneurship education programs and curricula because entrepreneurship is a long-term strategy for job development and economic growth," said Thom Ruhe, Kauffman Foundation vice president of entrepreneurship. "With community colleges embedded in more than 1,200 communities across the United States, we see a tremendous opportunity to employ their resources to support, educate and inspire local residents to pursue entrepreneurial ventures."
The Innovation Fund was launched by the Lorain County Community College Foundation in 2007 to support high-growth technology entrepreneurs in the historically manufacturing-centered northeast Ohio. In its first five years, the Fund made nearly 100 awards totaling close to $6 million, leading to $62 million in follow-on funding.
"The Innovation Fund was founded by the Lorain County Community College Foundation to help rekindle entrepreneurship as part of a 'grow your own' strategy for economic advancement," said Dr. Roy Church, president of LCCC.
Kauffman Foundation leaders said the LCCC Innovation Fund, which is now self-sustaining, stood out because of the three critical provisions of its approach to supporting new and young firms: an emphasis on founder mentorship, experiential entrepreneurship education, and improving access to early-stage funding.
"Despite being situated in one of the more economically depressed areas of the state, Lorain County Community College, through its Innovation Fund, has had a tremendous and positive impact on the entrepreneurial ecosystem of northeast Ohio," Ruhe said. "We believe it's a model that LCCC and Kauffman should replicate in other regions, and we will show that community colleges can, with the right resources, be at the center of local entrepreneur-led growth."
Church concurred, emphasizing that the collaboration between LCCC and Kauffman will lead to a new class of entrepreneurial community colleges.
"This partnership with the Kauffman Foundation places community colleges at the forefront of supporting entrepreneurship," he said. "By showcasing how this model can be replicated, we can enhance community colleges' capacity to accelerate innovation in their communities."

In providing movie reviews on our site, CBN.com is not endorsing or recommending films we review. Our goal is to provide Christians with information about the latest movies, both the good and the bad, so that our readers may make an informed decision as to whether or not films are appropriate for them and their families.
- The Last Song is a touching story of Ronnie, a rebellious teenage girl who spends the summer with her estranged father, Steve, only to learn family secrets as well as forgiveness.
Ronnie (Miley Cyrus) and her younger brother, Jonah, are dropped off at their father's beach house. They have not seen their father (Greg Kinnear) in a few years since he and their mom divorced.
Ronnie is a classical pianist protégé who refuses to play since her parent's separation. She and her father argue constantly while young Jonah and Steve bond as they make a stained glass window for the local church which recently burned down. Most everyone in town blames Steve for the fire. Steve himself was in the building but had fallen asleep.
Ronnie meets a young man, Will (Liam Hemsworth), and they start a romance, which softens Ronnie. Soon, however, family secrets come out in both Will and Ronnie's family. Will knows who actually accidentally set the fire but hasn't revealed it, letting the town think it was Steve instead. Finally, Steve has a secret he is keeping from his two children.
The Last Song is a very well written, well crafted movie. The story, like many of Sparks' novels, is dripping with much emotion. The movie moves along at a fast pace, and there are twists and turns that make the story very compelling.
Miley Cyrus in her first "grown up" movie delivers an engaging performance as the rebellious young woman. Bobby Coleman as the younger brother all but steals the movie in his innocence and heartache at trying to finish the stained glass window without his father's help.
The movie features a theme of forgiveness and grace. Ronnie learns that she, along with her family and friends, are all broken people who are "in process." While there is not an overt mention of faith in God, love and honor is held in high esteem. There are some inspiring redemptive metaphors, however, about the stained glass window
The Last Song has brief, light foul language. Though Ronnie is rebellious, she doesn't drink or smoke marijuana as her other friends do.
This is a movie with serious themes, so caution must be exercised for younger children. It is a soul-stirring tearjerker, one that will leave a viewer emotionally moved.

The Fletcher School's Institute for Business in the Global Context (IBGC) was founded in recognition of the need for a new approach to the study of international business and capital markets—one that prepares global business leaders with essential "contextual intelligence." Through four core activities—research, dialogue, education, and lab—the Institute provides an interdisciplinary lens through which global markets and the underlying drivers of change can be understood. This is also a forum where original thought leadership, professional education and conversations among peers can be fostered.
Currently, the Institute engages in several activities: it addresses emerging and frontier market issues through its Council on Emerging Market Enterprises (CEME), trains future leaders through its Master of International Business (MIB) degree program, and is establishing an international network of peer institutions of higher learning through relationships with schools in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.
The Institute is the first of its kind in the world and has been established at a time when such inter-disciplinary and international perspective is more essential than at any other time in the history of modern business. It is fitting that this pioneering initiative has been developed at Fletcher, the oldest exclusively graduate school of international affairs in the US.

TORONTO — Typically, the vast majority of acoustic and electric guitars for sale in stores today are made in anonymous factories like so many sausages rolling off assembly lines. A select few, however, are individually hand-crafted.
Meiron Blackstien, born in Toronto and raised in Israel, is an old-fashioned craftsman who makes custom-made guitars one by one, turning out each guitar with love, care and skill.
A young and upcoming luthier on the Toronto musical scene, he is the founder and proprietor of Six String Garage, located in the humming heart of Kensington Market, a stone's throw away from his father's birthplace.
Blackstien and his parents made aliyah in 1985, settling in Givat Shmuel, the home of his Israeli mother, Tami.
He left Israel after completing his national service as a teacher's assistant, leaving behind his parents and younger brother, Gal. "I didn't think there were too many opportunities for me in Israel to be what I wanted to be."
Now 28, Blackstien is, so to speak, a rebel with a cause. "They told me you can either build or repair guitars. They said you can't do both."
He has proven the skeptics wrong. Blackstien repairs guitars and builds them from scratch in his second-floor shop. He has built one acoustic guitar and four electric guitars so far and hopes to make 30 to 50 guitars each year once he is fully established.
"But I'll probably never stop taking repairs," he said. "They keep me thinking. No two repairs are the same. Repairing a guitar is a great problem solver, and it pays the bills."
He was initiated into the world of guitars by his father, Gary, a dentist and guitar aficionado.
"We had guitars all over the house," Blackstien said in a reference to their home in Givat Shmuel, a small town near Tel Aviv.
Before he reached his teens, he took piano lessons, but disliked the instrument so much that he dropped out of music altogether.
At 12, he gravitated toward the guitar and was immediately captivated by it.
"I don't exactly know why the guitar was appealing," he said. "It's a mystery. But the guitar is a cultural icon. It's accessible, and you don't have to be a dedicated musician to get into it. I just thought the guitar was really cool."
Blackstien, tall and lanky, began taking guitar lessons and was hooked. Although he plays double bass in a local band, Christian D and the Hangovers, he still takes guitar lessons.
Blackstien started tinkering with guitars shortly after he started playing one at home. "The guitars I had access to were cheap and required adjustments. I did my homework and figured out the basics."
Having become a guitar fanatic, he enrolled in the Roberto-Venn School of Luthiery in Phoenix, Ariz., in 2003. And in a bid to upgrade his budding skills, he apprenticed with Joe Veillette, an accomplished guitar-maker, in Woodstock, N.Y.
He then joined the service department of Steve's Music Store in Toronto as a guitar technician.
With the help of a government loan, he opened his own shop, Six String Garage, in the Parkdale district in 2010, but he did not fare too well in his first venture as an independent businessman. "I wasn't getting enough traffic, and the rent was too high," he explained.
Last September, he moved to Kensington Market, a neighbourhood brimming with garment and food stores and Asian arts and crafts shops.
"It was very slow for the first few months. It took time for people to find me again. But this is a much more convenient area and easier for customers to reach."
His clientele consists of hobbyists and professional musicians.
Hobbyists come in once or twice a year for what is known in the trade as the guitar setup, a process encompassing adjustments and cleaning to optimize performance.
He also teaches a course in guitar setup. "It's not a complicated procedure, but it can be intimidating if you don't know what you're doing."
Professional musicians need setups as well, but they're usually looking for custom options and enhanced upgrades.
In the future, Blackstien hopes to spend the bulk of his time making guitars. It takes him about 200 hours to build a guitar, for which he charges up to $3,000.
"What I do is very unique in terms of design, hardware and engineering," he said. "I don't copy an existing shape."
Blackstien's guitars, adorned with plastic components, are carved from fine woods. He uses alder for the body, apple for the neck and ebony for the fretboard.
When he is working on the body, weight, cosmetic appeal and workability are the key factors. When he gets to the neck and fretboard, the issues that concern him are strength and sonic characteristics.
His ultimate objective is always the same: to build a clean, simple guitar.
In his view, patience and humility are the hallmarks of a good craftsman.
"You have to realize there is a constant learning curve and always room for self-improvement," he explained. "You also have to have a good eye for detail and shapes. Cosmetic appeal is important, too. And you need a good ear. It's the test of what we do."
Despite his formidable skills, he has to struggle to survive.
"It's a very tough market to break into," said Blackstien, whose local competitors number in the dozens. "You're asking for a lot a money for a custom-built guitar."
Nonetheless, he aspires to be a paragon in Toronto's community of guitar builders.

I wonder if writ habies corpus would apply in this case?
Sad, in more ways than one.
There's never a shortage of blame for our irresponsible choices. On a more serious note, the descendents of Sir Isaac Newton recently brought charges against fruit-bearing trees claiming they forever tarnished the Newton name by deliberately using gravity as a means of associating them with a fig fruit bar that hardly nobody likes.
HEY!!! Easy now! I like fig newtons.
When will this start happening here in the States?

Dagens citat - 25/9
"Some say Christianity is just a crutch. But let's turn the question on its edge for a moment. Is atheism an emotional crutch, wishful thinking? The ax cuts both ways. Perhaps atheists are rejecting God because they've had a bad relationship with their father. Instead of inventing God, have atheists invented non-God? Have they invented atheism to escape some of the frightening implications of God's existence? Think about it." - Greg Koukl

So, remember when I posted this, about singer Lennon Murphy supposedly being sued for using her own name while performing?
Well, judging from this comment -- credited to imaginepeace.com and Yoko Ono -- it's not true. Read on:
Dear Friends
A musician named Lennon Murphy is claiming that Yoko Ono has sued her and that Yoko is seeking to stop Lennon Murphy from performing under her name, Lennon Murphy. Both of these claims are untrue.
Several years ago, Lennon Murphy sought Yoko's permission to do her performances under her name, Lennon Murphy. Yoko, of course, did not object to her request. Subsequently, without Yoko's knowledge, Lennon Murphy filed an application in the United States trademark Office requesting the exclusive right to utilize the name "Lennon" for musical performances. Yoko's attorneys asked Lennon Murphy's attorneys and manager to withdraw her registration of exclusivity to the name LENNON for the trademark. Yoko also offered to cover all costs Lennon Murphy had incurred in filing for the trademark. But Lennon Murphy went ahead to register.
Yoko did not sue Lennon Murphy, but sought to stop her from getting the exclusive right to the name Lennon for performance purposes. For that, Yoko's attorneys, simply notified the Trademark office that Yoko did not believe it was fair that Ms. Murphy be granted the exclusive right to the "Lennon" trademark in relation to musical and entertainment services. As you can see, this is a very important issue for Yoko and the Lennon family.
Yoko says: "I am really hurt if people thought that I told a young artist to not use her own name in her performances and had sought to sue her. I did no such thing. I hope this allegation will be cleared."
Thank you for your kind attention, Yoko

BERRY, Ga. – The Tennessee Tech women's cross country team, led by Rebecca Cline and Beth Miller, captured third place at the Viking Invitational, hosted by Berry College Saturday morning.
The Golden Eagle men's team did one better, finishing in second place as Sterling Smith and Mike Mahan led a balanced effort by coach Tony Cox's team.
It was the final meet of the year for Tech before heading to the Ohio Valley Conference championships, Oct. 27, at Jacksonville State.
The men ran first Saturday and the Golden Eagles got a balanced performance as five runners placed in the Top 20 in the 8K race. Smith, a sophomore from Knoxville, covered the distance in 27:18.93 for a 10th place individual showing.
Mahan, a senior from Tullahoma, Tenn., was just seconds behind, finishing 12th in the time of 27:27.50. Matthew Bishop and Adam McLeod were also right on his heels. Bishop placed 14th in the time of 27:32.76 while McLeod claimed 15th place in 27:50.64. Daniel Francis was Tech's fifth counter, placing 18th in 27:48.08.
Tech's lineup Saturday also included Kolbe Andrzejewski, Charlie Jordan and Matthew Pennycuff.
Emory won the team title in the men's race with a score of 54, while Tech tallied 69 points for second place. Host Berry College was third (100 points) in the field of 15 teams.
Emory also captured the team win in the 15-team women's race with a near-perfect score of 17. West Georgia (85) edged Tech for second place while the Golden Eagle women grabbed third by a narrow margin. Tech had 111 points, with University of the South (115) right behind.
Tech's runners came in pretty much in pairs, led by Cline and Miller. Cline, a junior from Spring Hill, Tenn., placed 14th in the time of 24:14.19 on the 5K course, while Miller, a senior from Watertown, Wis., was 16th in 24:27.95.
Landry Loving, a freshman from Johnson City, Tenn., was 25th in 25:03.95 while junior Peri Winborne finished 26th in 25:06.70. The next Tech duo across the line included Amelia McCoy and Kathryn Forbes. McCoy placed 30th in 25:26.66 while Forbes finished 31st in 25:30.77.
Meghan O'Donoghue, Kara Webb and Elizabeth Mitchell also competed for Tech.

Pets, Pets, Pets
First, the good news about the Oyster Bay Border Collies: The word is that soon, possibly this week, the three Geese Peace dogs previously forced to live at the Town shelter will be going home with their handlers. Hopefully, this will be the start of a Town trend. The dogs' housing was a heavily debated topic at the January 18th Town Board meeting, but so was substandard care and indifferent policies at Oyster Bay Shelter.
Now is the time for more improvements: If you are new to the "Oy Vey, Oyster Bay" shelter commentary, please read the 1/13 and 1/21"Pets" online which describe how the confined Border Collies became symbolic of the Town's need for a rescue-friendly shelter led by a director who welcomes qualified volunteers. Presently, volunteers are verboten. The former director retired. This time, the position should be filled with an open-minded, compassionate, pet-savvy person rather than settling for an internal replacement. Experience applicants, let Oyster Bay know you are interested.
While I was at the podium, Supervisor Venditto asked why the shelter would want volunteers. The following outlines the value of a volunteer program to the animals, staff, over-burdened taxpayers, and- because of enhanced public relations-to elected officials. Volunteers, often seasoned rescue people, provide:
1) Free talent and skills: I've been a fixture at Babylon almost 30 years, so it is upsetting to hear Supervisor Venditto state Mixed Breeds In Need (MBIN) volunteers overstepped their bounds. He doesn't want anyone "eating at their table," "sleeping in their bed" or essentially making any shelter suggestions. Advocates from the outside have a lot to offer. Babylon has a Ph.D volunteer certified applied animal behaviorist who coordinates the volunteer program. Oyster Bay turned away free expertise from veterinarians, trainers, architects, and disaster trained rescuers. Venditto mentioned he may invite community members or the Boy Scouts to volunteer now. Hmm, this is the only shelter I know where you sign a release before seeing a dog or cat out of the cage. Does this mean adolescents will be able to play with the Pit Bulls while pro bono, animal professionals are considered intrusive?
2) Exercise and training for the cooped up animals: Not only are the dogs and cats happier when given a pleasant diversion from the drudgery of kennel/cage life, but an exercised animal shows better, and a dog with basic obedience has a stronger chance of staying in its next home. Before their dismissal, the MBIN trainers mentored volunteers/staff. In contrast, Babylon has three fenced yards and an enclosed walking path around a sump used by volunteers. North Hempstead has an agility course built by the volunteer group. Huntington's League for Animal Protection volunteers train the dogs while sashaying them around the property.
3) Socialization and TLC: For staff, cleaning should be ongoing each shelter day. Medical concerns, feeding, potential adopters and the public's calls take precedence over socializing pets. There is not enough time for a small staff to give pets the individual attention they crave. Merely feeding a cat isn't adequate attention. Volunteers are adept at giving pets one on one. I tend to gravitate to the shivering pets in the back of the cage. Often one session of soft talking, gentle touch or even TTouch is enough to allay fears. Some want to be held, some need to know venturing out of the cage is safe and that the intake needles are not lurking again. Kittens must be handled, the younger the better. Before the Town disbanded the program, MBIN sent in a Katrina- experienced, licensed wildlife rehabilator to try to tame young ferals and make them more adoptable.
4) Grooming and de-matting for comfort and "curb appeal": Mats can be painful and debilitating. When new arrivals show signs of neglect, volunteers can assist in beauty makeovers. Some dogs are so filthy and matted that they can't move until groomed. At times, it's less stressful to do a little trimming at a time. Brushing also helps to socialize. Keep in mind, shelter pets are like real estate. Once neat and comfy, the pet attracts potential adopters. It's all about marketing. The messy Maltipoo I cleaned up two weeks ago at Babylon was adopted on Saturday. Why pay to send the pets out for grooming?
5) "The Triple A" a.k.a. the adoption-ambassador-advertising network: Babylon volunteers have contact with interested colleagues and other rescue groups. We pursue lost & found. Together with the staff, we can compare temperament observations to obtain a more complete assessment of the pet. When "Sylvester" the Sheltie has more fans who really know him, he has a better chance of finding a proper home. The "Wrong Brothers" featured here in the 12/15/10 and 12/16/10 editions were adopted together, via a volunteer's SUNY Farmingdale coworkers. Veteran Babylon volunteers assist in adoptions, and can keep in touch with new owners. We show pets to the public and offer background information. I help fine tune breed identifications; post and name pets on the shelter's Petfinder and FaceBook; send purebred photos to breed rescues; as well as showcase adoptables in "Pets." Sharing photos is free advertising. I also have the time to listen to grieving owners. When a family came in with donations, we wound up having a discussion about FIP, a deadly feline disease. Hopefully, I was able to assure them that they did all possible for their beloved cat. Many things happen simultaneously at shelters.
6)Cooperativeefforts: Last Hope volunteers have worked alongside Babylon and Hempstead on medical cases, feral Trap Neuter Release seminars as well as low cost rabies vaccine and micro-chip clinics- all available to the public.
7) More hands: for washing dishes, doing laundry, scooping litter, and policing the yard.
8) Fundraising and beyond: MBIN built a $6,000 shed as a real room at Oyster Bay. It is used for storage now. They also created a colorful collage for the lobby.

- What makes your small kitchen so cool:
- It is a fun and easy to work in kitchen with a touch of whimsy! Even though its small, with all of the special touches, you don't feel claustrophobic in it.
- Describe a challenge you've overcome or a smart resource you've found for your kitchen.:
- Color and display space was the biggest challenge because I love color and needed space to display little things in the kitchen. Painting the walls was an obvious choice to bring color into the kitchen but with the fluorescent lighting, it was hard choosing a color that I liked and that looked good in the light. Instead I decided on a glass tile backsplash with a chalkboard and large floral wall decals in a similar color. For display, I chose maple color shelves to match what was already there and to add more whimsy, kitchen utensil decals on the cabinet over the sink that did not match the rest of the kitchen instead of taking it out or painting it. I recreated a utensil rack from the scrapbook of ideas and rooms I like. The accent lighting added under the cabinets and shelves gives the kitchen a cool, different look at night.
- What's your favorite meal to cook here?:
- We try to eat healthy most of the time but even in my small kitchen, I love to cook large holiday meals. So Christmas dinner is my favorite meal to cook in the kitchen.

Building a solar generator
Guest Post by Bill Brooks
As many of you know, I recently completed my tiny house on a trailer. I plan to travel to a few locations beginning this winter. I built my tiny house to be self contained, since most of my time will be spent in places without services (electricity, water, etc.). Since batteries will supply the house's electrical power, I will need to recharge them often. While I will have a propane generator, I plan to use solar power for most of my needs. This should allow me to get power, and keep the costs down by not buying propane as often as if I was using the generator.
Often, trailers have the solar panels mounted on the roofs. This allows the panels to charge the batteries as long as there is sunlight available. The problem with this set up is you need to park your trailer in the sunlight. While this might work well in some locations, others will have trees and other obstacles that can block the sunlight. Also, certain locations might result in parking the trailer facing away from the sun, hence lowering the output of the solar panels.
Originally, I decided to place the solar panels on a cart. This would allow me to move the panels into the sun, reposition them as needed, and provide storage for the panels. As a further enhancement, I added a solar controller, battery, and inverter to the cart and turned it into a solar generator. That way I could have power available in almost any location I plan to go. With this set up, I can use both AC and DC items, such as a microwave, and even a refrigerator all powered by the sun.
The Solar Generator Parts
First, the technical details for those who are interested. The solar generator (which I call the SolGen 160) has a four major components. The 2 solar panels are rated at 80 watts each, for a total 160 watts. The solar charge controller is rated at 30 amps. The battery is a marine deep cycle model, and is rated at 210 amp hours. The inverter is provides a steady output up to 1100 watts of AC power, with a peak output of 2200 watts.
Ok, so what does all that mean. Based on the manufacture's solar panel ratings under ideal conditions, the SolGen 160 should provide approximately 460 amps of power each week to charge a 12 volt battery. While you never want to discharge a battery completely, the output is enough to fully recharge the battery in 3 to 4 days. If you use only 25% of the battery each day, the solar generator should be able to fully charge it up during the next day. With this set up, it can power a number of appliances, such as a small microwave, TV, laptop, or even some power tools. All the comforts of home can be available wherever the cart is located, in a campground, a forest, or even the desert.
How was the cart assembled
I used 2×3 lumber as the framing for the cart, and enclosed it with the T-1 siding. The overall size of the cart is approximately 4 feet wide by 4 feet long by 4.5 feet tall. I began by building a wooden frame that fit around each panel. I then built two L-shaped pieces for each panel to hold the panels at a 45 degree angel. The L-frames were cross braced to provide a solid base for each panel. Then the two panels were attached together by screwing the frames together. Next I added the T-1 siding to enclose the cart, and a piece of plywood to form the cart floor. After that, I built doors on the back to allow access to the battery and components inside the cart. Finally, the cart was painted and caulked to prevent leaks, and wheels added to make it mobile.
Here is a video slideshow of the building process…(video created by Steven at Tiny House Listings)
Cost of Materials
The SolGen 160 cost approximately $1500 to build. The cost breakdown is as follows:
Solar Panels – $ 850
Battery+box – $ 180
Solar controller – $ 100
Power Inverter – $ 70
Subtotal – $ 1200
Cart – $ 300
Total – $ 1500
The major portion of the cart expense was for the T-1 siding and the 2×3 lumber. The wheels, hardware and paint were a small additional cost, and purchased locally. While they lumber was purchased locally, the solar panels, controller, and inverter were all purchased from Amazon.com. While this configuration was designed to fit my needs, buying fewer or less expensive solar panels and components would reduce the cost of the cart.
Several people have expressed interest in the SolGen 160 since I posted it on Twitter and Facebook. I am considering selling a set of plans so people can build their own solar generators. If there is any interest in this, please let me know by responding to the poll below. Thank you![poll id="21″]

Training Camp: Open to public Sunday, April 15, and Sunday, April 22, from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Upper Arlington Marv Moorehead Stadium. Watch the pros train and receive autographs after sessions are over at 3 p.m.
2012 Ohio Machine Inaugural Season Preview
Last April the Ohio Machine was just getting off the ground. It had zero players on its roster and were only just contemplating the choices for a stadium. Less than a year later the Ohio Machine has a full 40-man roster and is less than a month away from playing its first game against the Chesapeake Bayhawks in Annapolis, MD.
Beginning a team from scratch can be a long, arduous process and for the Machine this process started in January 2011 when Major League Lacrosse Commissioner David Gross announced that Columbus, Ohio, had been awarded the latest MLL franchise. From that moment on, the Machine's gears were set in motion and haven't stopped since!
The first big announcement for the team happened in August when historic Selby Stadium at Ohio Wesleyan University was announced as the home field for the Machine for its 2012 and 2013 seasons. Selby Stadium is a newly renovated 9,100 seat stadium located in downtown Delaware, Ohio. Home field wasn't the only big announcement that day – the team also announced the hiring of legendary coach Ted Garber as the team's first-ever head coach. Garber has been an MLL coach since the MLL started in 2001 and is also an extremely successful college and high school lacrosse coach who was recognized by U.S. Lacrosse for his 200th career victory back in 2008.
Less than two months later the team acquired its first players in MLL hotshots Greg Bice (Ohio State), Anthony Kelly (Ohio State), Stefan Schroder (Ohio State) and Brett Garber (UMass). A week later the team traded for 2010 MLL Championship Weekend MVP Kyle Hartzell (Salisbury). With the team's solid foundation in place, it turned its attention to the Expansion and Supplemental Drafts held in December.
Through these drafts the team continued to build a strong core of players for the upcoming season. With its first pick in the Expansion Draft, the Machine selected popular attackman Connor Martin (Chapman). The team also added veteran midfielder Jordan Levine (Albany), defenseman Brett Hughes (UVA) and midfielder Matt Casey (Ithaca). The Machine continued to pick up MLL stars during the Supplemental Draft, including longtime MLL attackman Chazz Woodson (Brown), who will likely see some time at midfield this season.
The team solidified its roster in January when it drafted nine players in the Collegiate Draft. The draftees include 2011 Tewaaraton Award winner and Virginia attackman Steele Stanwick, Duke midfielder Robert Rotanz and Bucknell attackman Billy Eisenreich.
The team's roster is now set heading into training camp, which will be held on April 14-15 and April 21-22 – opened to the public on Sundays April 15 and 22.. The roster consists of 16 midfielders, 11 defensemen, eight attackmen and five goalies. The roster that has been put together makes for an extremely competitive training camp with all the positions up for grabs.
At the midfield position, the team features MLL veterans Matt Casey, Brett Garber, Anthony Kelly, Jordan Levine and Chazz Woodson. These five players have played in a combined 233 games and have amassed more than 240 points. The rest of the midfielders include Dan Groot (Maryland), Will Harrington (Towson), Scott Kocis (Georgetown), Nick Marks (Bucknell), Matt Messina (NYIT), Josh Porcell (UMBC), Matt Witko (Tufts) and Joel Zalesky (Seton Hill). Kelly provides the Machine with a significant veteran at face-off but will also have competition in Nolan Godfrey (Merrimack) and Eric O'Brien (Ohio State). Throughout his MLL career Kelly has won 881 face-offs, which is second among active players, only trailing Chesapeake's Alex Smith who has 1,029 career face-off wins.
From day one the Machine have focused on putting together a formidable defense. The team's defense has four former MLL All-Stars, which include Greg Bice, Kyle Hartzell, Brett Hughes (UVA) and Ray Megill. Hartzell and Megill are also former MLL Champions, winning the title in 2010 with the Chesapeake Bayhawks. But those veterans can all be pushed for playing time because of newcomers, including Matt Cafarelli (Ohio State), Audi Glass (Bishop's), Andrew Irving (Notre Dame), Kevin Ridgway (Notre Dame), Max Schmidt (Maryland), Jeff Schneider (Ohio State) and Brian Yontz (Ohio State).
The attack is led by third-year player Connor Martin. Martin played his last two seasons with the Denver Outlaws. With the Outlaws, Martin scored 13 goals and had four assists in seven games. During his rookie season, Martin was named MLL Rookie of the Week after scoring a hat trick and having an assist in his MLL Debut. Joining Martin at attack is veteran Buggs Combs (Maryland). Combs began his MLL career in 2003 with the Bayhawks. Combs scored a career high of 34 goals in 2008. Combs now has 132 career goals in 59 games and won a championship as captain with the Bayhawks in 2010. Martin and Combs won't be guaranteed starters however with Jim Connolly (UMass), Josh Coveleski (Duke), Ian Dingman (Navy), Sean Doyle (Bellarmine), Mario Ventiquattro (Ohio State) and Brady Williams (Brown) right on their heels for the attack positions.
The team will have a fierce competition in the net with goalies Stefan Schroder and 2011 MLL All-Star Brian Phipps (Maryland). In his first MLL, season Phipps had a 14.14 goals against average and had 117 saves. Schroder played in one MLL game, only allowing two goals in 31 minutes for Rochester last year. The Machine will also have goalies Noah Fossner (Delaware), Johnny Rodriguez (Salisbury) and Scott Vogel (Assumption) fighting for the coveted starting keeper position.
The team begins its inaugural season on May 5th when it travels to Maryland to play the Chesapeake Bayhawks. After winning the championship in 2010, the Bayhawks finished 2011 with six wins and fell to the eventual champion Boston Cannons 14-13 in the first round of the playoffs.
The Machine will play its 2012 inaugural season home opener two weeks later on May 19th against the Rochester Rattlers, which will include several special guest appearances and unique game day experiences. On June 9th, the team begins a three-game home stand where they will face the Denver Outlaws, Long Island Lizards and fellow expansion team Charlotte Hounds. The Machine ends its season at home on August 11th when it faces the defending champion Boston Cannons.
Season tickets starting at only $100 and three-game mini plans at $45 for the Machine's 2012 inaugural season are now on sale. Single-game tickets to the historic May 19th home opener are also on sale for just $18, with group discounts available as well. Tickets can be purchased by contacting the Machine at (614) 754-1973 or by visiting www.theohiomachine.com/tickets.

Wow. I have to admit, I feel a little guilty posting this, particularly since I haven't posted any personal entries in a while, but I'm up for the "Hot Blogger Calendar" and as of the time of this post, am 19th. The top 12 will get to partake in a professional photo shoot to be put in the calendar.
Define "hot" as you want. Maybe it's hot that I program robots. Maybe it's hot I got my degree from Carnegie Mellon. Maybe you like my picture (found behind the link). If any of these apply, vote for me.

Hawks halt slide with rout of Sixers
Philadelphia, PA – Josh Smith netted 28 points to go with 12 rebounds and the Hawks' bench contributed 53 points as Atlanta took care of the Philadelphia 76ers, 124-101, on Wednesday night at the Wells Fargo Center.
John Jenkins fell just two points short of his career-high with 21 points, while Jeff Teague registered his 13th double-double of the season with 13 points and 11 assists in the win. Mike Scott added 17 points and nine rebounds.
"I think John (Jenkins) and Mike (Scott) are really starting to find their niche," said coach Larry Drew of his two rookies.
Al Horford added 16 points and nine boards as Atlanta snapped a three-game losing skid. The Hawks now have a 2 1/2 game lead over Boston, which lost to the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, for the sixth seed in the Eastern Conference.
Thaddeus Young was the lone bright spot for Philadelphia, which was eliminated from playoff contention earlier this week. He poured in 28 points on 14-of-20 from the floor, and at one point late in the third quarter, had hit half of the Sixers' field goals.
"I just wanted to come out and just show that I have a lot of energy and that I'm still trying to win games," said Young. "I'm still trying to focus in on finishing this season the right way."
Nick Young and Dorell Wright chipped in 19 and 15 points, respectively, off the bench.
The Hawks led 29-27 after a back-and-forth first quarter that saw six lead changes. Jenkins dropped eight of his 21 points in five minutes off the bench.
The second stanza saw significant runs by each team, first a 15-2 surge by Atlanta capped by an Ivan Johnson transition stuff, followed by a Thad Young- led 13-3 push for Philadelphia.
The Hawks held the Sixers to 38 percent shooting in the first half and led 59-51 at the break.
Atlanta opened the third period on an 18-4 run to pull away from the hometown Sixers. All five Hawks' starters got in on the action, while Young was the lone Sixer to muster any points until Jrue Holiday's layup with 5:58 remaining in the period.
Game Notes
Atlanta's Kyle Korver extended his streak of consecutive games with a 3-point field goal to 71 games ... The Hawks shot 53.8 percent from the floor and 18- of-19 from the foul line ... Atlanta had 34 assists... Devin Harris returned to the Hawks' lineup after missing the previous three games with an ankle injury.

It goes without saying that investors would only want to select managers with the best chance of outperforming.

November 21, 2012 17:06 ET
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - Nov 21, 2012) - KIT digital, Inc. (NASDAQ: KITD), a leading video management software and services company, today announced that, because of errors and irregularities identified by the Company in its historical financial statements, the financial statements for (1) the years ended December 31, 2009, 2010 and 2011 and (2) each of the three quarters in 2009, 2010 and 2011 will be restated. As a result of the restatement of these prior periods, the Company will also restate the quarters ended March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2012. Accordingly, investors should no longer rely upon the Company's previously issued financial statements for these periods, any earnings releases or other communications relating to these periods, or projections or estimates for any future periods. As a result, the Company will not timely file its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended September 30, 2012 and will not issue an earnings release or host an earnings conference call.
The accounting errors and irregularities giving rise to the restatement relate primarily to recognition of revenue related to certain perpetual software license agreements entered into by the prior management team in 2010 and 2011. These errors and irregularities were discovered in connection with the Audit Committee's previously disclosed investigation of certain transactions. As part of the restatement, the Company will adjust the financial statements for errors identified during prior periods, recording the adjustments in the appropriate historical period. Because of the Company's ongoing review and investigation of certain transactions, the Company requires additional time to complete an analysis of the accounting treatment for the software licenses and to determine the extent of the corrections that may be required to its historical financial statements. Other effects on previous financial statements are also possible. Accordingly, the Company cannot currently quantify the potential impact of the restatement.
As of today, the Company has approximately $10.6 million of cash and cash equivalents, of which approximately $4.0 million is restricted cash. The Company also has approximately $11.0 million outstanding under a secured loan facility and $2.5 million under an unsecured related party note. The Company is currently up to date with the principal and interest payments due under those loans, however, as a result of the restatement discussed above, there is an Event of Default under the secured loan facility and the Company is in discussions with the lenders. As previously disclosed, the Company has also experienced substantial losses this year, including costs related to previously disclosed litigations and restructuring expenses and will also incur additional costs related to the restatement discussed above. As a result of these circumstances, and based on the Company's forecast, the Company expects to continue to incur significant cash expenditures.
As a result of these challenges, the Company is considering a broad set of strategic alternatives including financing transactions as well as other strategic transactions including a sale of the Company or its assets. The Company continues to examine the reduction of working capital requirements to further conserve cash and may need to take additional actions in the near-term, which may include additional personnel reductions and suspension of certain development activities.
The above actions may or may not prove to be consistent with the Company's long-term strategic objectives, which have shifted in the current year, as the Company discontinued certain non-core assets, among other things. No assurance can be given that the Company will be able to enter in to an agreement for a sale of the Company or its assets or obtain financing on favorable terms, if at all, or to successfully further reduce costs in such a way that would continue to allow the Company to operate its business.
As a result of the restatement, the Company is also cancelling its 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Under current SEC rules, the restatement must be complete before the Company may hold an annual meeting of stockholders. The Company originally scheduled the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to occur on December 5, 2012.

Karma. That's the only reason why my beloved Boilermakers will win this year's Big Ten title. Robbie Hummel tearing his ACLs in consecutive years robbed us of at least one potential national championship run.
