Mary and Ray Couvillion came to visit and brought the sunshine. It was a fun-filled 4 days of fishing (but only a few instances of 'catching'), sailing, gunkholing, whale watching (humpies and orcas), dining lavishly from the one caught fish and playing Rummikub...again and again and again! Revisiting Thumb, Humpy and Bulldog Coves under clear skies was a novel experience for us, as well as for the hordes of other boaters from the Seward Small Boat Harbor who found their way into the Resurrection Bay anchorages to enjoy the beautiful weather. Obviously this is a Vitamin D starved population! Paul Rupple ("Sundance") and friend, Pat joined us in Bulldog Cove for an evening of Couvillion's contribution of the 1987 edition of "Trivialaska." It was indeed challenging for ALL to correctly answer questions of Alaska's 'ancient history', but Maker's Mark and red wine ameliorated the stressful urgency factor and a good time was had by all. Thanks for coming and providing this entertaining game, Mary and Ray. The sail back into Seward on Sunday afternoon was reminiscent of the Oklahoma Land Rush with watercraft visible as far as the eye could see coming back from a pleasant week-end in Resurrection Bay. This was indeed a rare and unusual sighting for us who have never experienced Seward during their mid-summer (SUNNY!) boating/fishing season. We made it back just as the 3-day spate of rainy, foggy inclement weather set in. Anyone for more Rummikub??
Have a great rest of the summer!

It's certainly been a 10-day whirlwind. It all began with sad news that my Mom was failing rapidly from the fall that required hip replacement surgery. The Docs also discovered that she had fractured her pelvis as well, all resulting in Mom being in a great deal of pain. She gradually became more and more anxious and afraid, and then unresponsive and it became evident that it was time to round up the family members. We had quickly sailed back into Seward and were awaiting any updates, but before we were able to make the long flight to Norfolk, Mom had passed away, July 14th, 8PM. Suzanne, Jane, Trish and Julia were at her bedside to say their good-byes, then handed me the phone to speak with Mom. She did not respond, but died just a few hours later and we're sure that she was waiting for her 5 daughters to check in before leaving this world for a better place. Rest in Peace, Mom. We miss you terribly. Our adventure will continue now, with heavy heart, so stay tuned...
Tue July 10, 2012, 12:37am, Bulldog Cove, Resurrection Bay
It's been quite a spate of non-communication from us, but there really hasn't been much to report since we've spent this lull time in Seward shuttling folks in and out of Capella III. Rick Humke is back home in Colorado, relishing the fact that the Waldo Canyon fire is contained and his home is safe, as is ours. Buz Belden is on board with us now and we are currently enjoying our time with him in some of our favorite anchorages in Resurrection Bay. He'll sail with us until he returns to Mercer Island on July 18.
Vic has immersed himself in a cell phone amplifier project since leaving Seward in mid-May. His hope was to extend our cell phone coverage in the more remote parts of AK while we were sailing. TODAY he successfully completed this project and we now can travel farther from the port cities and are able to connect with my sisters regarding my Mom's condition from her recent fall at the nursing home. Thanks for the updates, sisters. And thanks for the internet boost, Vic. However, apparently the connection is spotty at best and sending a blog posting is not always possible all at once...hence the updates! Can't seem to send pics, either. Stay tuned...!
Tue July 3, 2012, 3:39pm, Seward, AK
It's been a few days since the last update, mostly because there hasn't been much thrilling to report. We're entrenched in Seward until at least July 6th, then we begin another 2 wk. venture out into the Kenai Fjords or Prince William Sound with Buz Belden onboard. He arrives at the boat at 6pm this evening via motorcoach from ANC. Two hours later we ALL will be aboard Major Marine Tours' M/V Star of the Northwest (8pm-12:30am) for an all-you-can-eat prime rib and salmon buffet. music by "The Spawning Humpys" followed by fireworks. This event sparks off the 4th of July activities in Seward, the main event being tomorrow's famous Mt. Marathon Race, the premier Mountain Race Series, a VERY STEEP 3-1/2 mile race straight up and straight down Mt. Marathon which looms over Seward harbor. I'm imagining Buz preparing a gourmet meal of filet mignon with portobello mushrooms in the galley while we enjoy the race comfortably from our aft cockpit up and down that beast of a mountain in the rain, snowfields and mud. I'll let you know how that works out!
The Waldo Canyon fire is currently 65% contained and the rainy weather in CO is contributing to keeping it under control, so life is better for those of us with a vested interest in its outcome. Life is good again. Enjoy the annual picture of Skipper enjoying the lupine!

It seems that there are more glitches in Sailblogs' postings. "Fishin's Good" continues to evade the internet, but after several attempts, hopefully it will show up on your screen. It is out of chronological order, but I've tried everything to rearrange, to no avail, oh well...guess we'll all just have to improvise! However, I will continue to report as if you're receiving them, just so you know I haven't given up on this project!
As you're aware, first and foremost on our agenda was deciding what course we should take when the news of the Waldo Canyon fire arrived on our iridium phone as an important text msg. Jenny Montoya, Rick's oldest daughter, cleverly figured out how to get this urgent news to us in our remoteness, and we surely appreciate your ingenuity and efficiency, Jenny. Thank you! We immediately decided to get back into the "cell service" arena, knowing that it would be at least a day and a half sail to get back to Seward, so we buckled up and pressed on asap. Meanwhile we made a few winlink and sat phone contacts (George Sewell and June Freyer) in hopes that they could keep us abreast of the fire updates, and they indeed did an outstanding job imparting critical information about the fire's irratic progress. Thank you so much George and June.
About 2 miles out of Seward, we were able to get a cell phone connection, so the flurry of information began coming through. At this point we indeed did have something to worry about as our home was placed on pre-evac status and the fire was 0% contained and indeed heading in our direction via the AF Academy. The details are too many to enumerate, but I'm sure everyone with a vested interest in this area was sitting on pins and needles.
As we were conversing on the phone, a loud announcement came from the cockpit, "Breaching whale, straight ahead!!" Telephone conversations ended and cameras came to life. A tour boat ("Chugach") was just ahead of us and the breaching whale was giving us quite the show (no pictures available yet). There was a brief lull in the activity, the tour boat moved out of our line of sight and it was deathly quiet. Suddenly, out of the depths arose this enormous humpback just 10 yards off our port side, complete with energetic whale exhalations and an explosive splash that scared the living daylights out of all of us onboard, dog included! The whale had breached between us and the tour boat teeming with Japanese tourists who were clicking pictures and gasping Japanese epitaphs in high pitches! Quite the experience, yes, but we really would like to observe leaping whales from a bit farther away next time! I'm enclosing a picture taken of the event under sheer duress...obviously! I had my close up (70-300MM) len attached, so we now know that having on the incorrect lens creates mystery photos. Enjoy!
So now we plan to remain in the Seward area until at least July 5th when Rick leaves to return to CO. Buz arrives on the 3rd. We're comfortable with tracking the fire from the cockpit of Capella III in Seward Alaska until we learn otherwise. Our hearts and prayers go out to all who are experiencing the ravages of the fires and we will remain in contact with you via cell phone or blog postings. Godspeed.
Tue June 26, 2012, 12:00am, Picnic Harbor
Since we last chatted leaving Seldovia, we spent the next night in Port Graham, last evening in Port Chatham and tonight we're anchored in beautiful Picnic Harbor. The weather is letting us down. We'd been experiencing a 9-day spate of lovely weather and now reality has returned to remind us how lucky we were. Oh well, we're sailing most days, even if it's just a leisurely 4-5 hours a day, so we bundle up and endure it knowing that we're soon to enjoy the warmth of the diesel heater and interesting dvds snuggled into our overnight anchorages. However, the FISHING has been better than average. (That's where the "leisurely" comes in. We've been fishing along the way.) To date we've caught 2 chicken halibut, 3 ling cod (one of Rick's was HUGE, 30#?, but we had to return them alive to the sea, the season doesn't open until 1 July), 2 black rockfish, 1 china rockfish, 1 greenling. I say WE CAUGHT because Vic successfully puts us on the hot spots, Rick and I drag in the fish. It's a co-op that works. Fish tacos tonight, come if you can!

In 2013 Adobe's Creative Technologies Lab, run by Dr. David Salesin, launched the Disruptive Innovation Group (DIG). Dr. Salesin's idea was to embed a small crew of entrepreneurs into Adobe's research labs, treat them like a start-up, and see what products they might come up with. In DIG, a small team of innovators and engineers has been working with Adobe's scientists to produce a range of new products.
DIG's mission is to disrupt Adobe using Adobe's own technology. For years, Adobe researchers have been inventing the advanced features that professionals enjoy in Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, After Effects, and other media tools. DIG has access to both new research and Adobe's classic IP, giving them free rein to mess with the status quo, take a LEAN approach and release apps quickly, far before they're ready, before a company like Adobe would traditionally push something out.
Following are the first DIG explorations.
Fixel fixes your pixels. Want to get rid of that street sign, power line, or garbage can from your otherwise flawless vacation photos? Just swipe over the ugly bits, press one button, and it's Fixel'd. Fixel uses the same advanced content-aware imaging technology found in Adobe Photoshop – but now you can use it on your phone or tablet, on the go. Fixel runs on any iOS 7 device, but is especially fast on newer devices like the iPhone 5S and iPad mini 2nd generation. Adobe Labs is releasing this technology demonstration as part of a research project: If you opt-in to our data collection, we'll use your images in a learning algorithm to tune our future imaging technologies. But if not, just enjoy the app!
"With PaintCan, anybody can paint"™
PaintCan is an Adobe Labs experimental iPad app that helps you paint beautiful artworks from your favorite photographs within minutes.
PaintCan is not a painterly effect applied to your image -- you really are the painter! But don't worry, anybody can do it. PaintCan helps you paint, with smart brushes that configure themselves based on the image you are painting on, so that you spend less time configuring settings, and more time exploring your creativity.
So what are you waiting for? Create your first masterpiece today!
Twixt is seriously simple photo mixing, and the first project launched by DIG. You slide your finger over a subject in a picture to select it, and then blend it with another picture that serves as the scene. Remix subjects and scenes from the growing Twixt community collection or create your own - when others remix your Twixts, you'll see the variations show up next to your original creation. Jump in, it's fun!

Not bad
This review is from: PLANTRONICS Backbeat 903+ Bluetooth Headset
Pros: audio is clear, also person on the other end never complained so that's a plus.
Cons: The fact that there are no other ear tip sizes. Currently one of the ear tips does not fit my ear so it feels uncomfortable when moving since it's not secure. Lastly, while not often but sometimes that headset would lose connection while I'm walking.
Other Thoughts: The product was advertised that it was not made to be sound canceling so there would be less accidents or something along those lines. However it would have been nice if they gave the choice of sound canceling like a different ear tip rather than expect one size fits all. I've gotten used to how secure sound canceling ear buds feel so it would have been nice if given the choice. Besides my personal preference, the headset isn't too bad.

My Favorite BT Headset
This review is from: PLANTRONICS Backbeat 903+ Bluetooth Headset
Pros: All day battery; excellent volume; A3DP; full-featured, including a bass-bost setting
Cons: I did not like the included tips and found adapting a pair of stepped silicone earbud tips helped both sound and fit. After about 2 years of use, the rubber on one ear just disintegrated. I used electrical tape and wrapped it up. Looks ghetto, still works great!
Other Thoughts: I own more than six BT headsets including the BackbeatGo. I like these the best. The backbeatGO volume at max is no where near what this pair can put out.

Great headphones, Long Life
This review is from: PLANTRONICS Backbeat 903+ Bluetooth Headset

Great for Work
This review is from: PLANTRONICS Backbeat 903+ Bluetooth Headset
Pros: I work in construction and have put my headset through some tough wear, broken the adjusting extensions and super glued them fixed and unmovable. These things are pretty tough, I can answer my phone while on a ladder with both hands occupied with my shoulder. Jam out to music when I want. Voice commands and button functions work great, never have to take my phone out from it's holster, noise cancel from wind works great. Battery life is awesome one charge last me the whole work day. Very comfortable have fallen asleep with them on not realizing. They work as a hearing aid when you pause your music to help hear the person better, yet you can still hear very well with them on. The cone ear piece injects the sound so no need to force them in your ear.
Cons: May be a little heavy for some people. Cuts music in/out if you jog with phone in your pocket. Need to have the shoulder phone strap.

Good product
This review is from: PLANTRONICS Backbeat 903+ Bluetooth Headset
Pros: The Plantronic Backbeat 903+ Bluetooth Headset are great item for the price. The sound quality is above average and has a nice base. It may have 5 buttons but each with multiple functionalities. Each button has 2 options. Most Bluetooth devices as well as iphones will work with these. They have around 8 hours of battery life (even though it advertised at 7) and the recharge time from dead to full is around 1 hour and 30 minutes.
Cons: 1. The Plantronic Backbeat 903+ Bluetooth Headset has a fixed rubberized ear loop which may not align with your ear canal.
Other Thoughts: I do recommend these headphones to everyone that are looking to a bluetooth enable headphones. Call quality is very impressive and loud both in-coming and out going calls. The battery life is ideal for those that want to use it for music on the go. It is advertised to be 7 hours of continuis usage and in my experiensed closed to or over 8 hour mark which is impressive for the time it was released. These headset have tracking, volume controls, pause and play as well as calling and ignore call options. the only downside I have encounter with these particular device is that the ear loop may not place the speaker directly on to your hear canal like most ear buds does, however do to it rubber earbit having a peace sticking out it rest by your ear, so you can listen to your music. You still will listen to background noise (not noise cancelling) so might have to raise the volume up to ignore most ambient noises. Overall if you are on a drive, at an office or anywhere that noise isn't an issue these are great. If you are planning to jogging around, sweat or be near water I urge you to avoid it. I do admit they do hold in place and often forget they are even on as they are very light and comfortable to wear.

Listen to the Reviews
This review is from: PLANTRONICS Backbeat 903+ Bluetooth Headset
Pros: Works as intended and sound quality is decent.
Cons: Range is not good on the headset and any form of sweat will cause them to stop working.
Other Thoughts: I bought these to workout with and read the reviews. I should have listened to the reviews of the product. The first time I worked out with the headset, it stopped working. Apparently the headset really does not like any sweat at all. If you do use them for workout and they stop working you will need to plug them into a computer (not the wall charger) while holding the power/pairing button to hopefully get them reset. The other bad thing about the headset is that if you place your phone in your pocket, the sound will cut out on you. If you place the phone on a table in an open room, the range is pretty decent. Final thoughts on this is you get what you pay for!!!

Nice Stereo Headset for the price
This review is from: PLANTRONICS Backbeat 903+ Bluetooth Headset
Pros: The audio quality when listening to music or audio books is excellent.
Cons: The headset has issues maintaining connection to the transmitting device when in motion unless its kept within 2 ft. The audio for calls gives feedback but only when I talk.
Other Thoughts: I Purchased this thinking it was the same as a headset I had recently tried at a friends house. Turns out though that his was a 906 model. The audio quality for listening to music is the same. But, the call quality in this model is not anywhere near that of the 906. The connection issue doesn't really bother me because I keep my phone in my shirt pocket most of the time. I gave minus one egg for the call quality but that doesn't bother much either because I bought this primarily to listen to books and music while i work.

I like these headphones.
This review is from: PLANTRONICS Backbeat 903+ Bluetooth Headset
Pros: These headphones are pretty comfortable, Ive never had a behind/over the ear set of headphones before and I really like the style. The battery stays powered up for a good amount of time (never had it run out on me) and I love having no cords!
Cons: A little pricey but I knew that going in.

Huawei and China Mobile Open GSM Lab in Pakistan
Published on: 29th Nov 2012
Note -- this news article is more than a year old.
By: Ian Mansfield
China's Huawei and Pakistan based mobile network Zong have established a GSM laboratory and training center at National University of Science and Technology (NUST).
Zong is a subsidiary of China Mobile.
This lab is to be used for study purposes; the lab is a complete telephone network including a GSM mobile infrastructure with one MSC, one BSC and one BTS, HLR and media gateway. The lab will also provide the platform for development of software, tools and patches to remove discrepancies. It will familiarize students with the fault, configuration, security, network performance management of telecom infrastructure.
Huawei has supplied USD1.3 million in hardware for the GSM laboratory.
Mr. Fan Yunjun, CEO, Zong said that the GSM lab created by ZONG is a fundamental part of their corporate social responsibility as helping young people access quality technological education will lay the foundation of cultivating talent necessary for the advancement of industry and development in Pakistan."

As the first auction in Sony's "Bid for Greatness" comes to an end, controversy is now brewing over the legitimacy of the winner's Gold Trophies used to purchase a "Killzone: Shadow Fall" costume.
According to @PSNProfiles, the winner of the "Killzone" auction "used illegitimate methods to obtain trophies." PlayStation Life Style investigated the accusation and discovered that the "Killzone" winner, who bought the Black Hand outfit for 1,050 Gold Trophies, went from 6,500 trophies to 14,000 trophies in one day. GraveRobberX from NeoGaf also pointed out how one could cheat the system and acquire as many Gold Trophies as the accused "Killzone" winner. When notified about cheating possibly happening in the "Bid for Greatness" auction, PlayStation's Community Manager Morgan Haro said he and his team will look into it.
While Sony's plan to let players bid on PlayStation memorabilia with trophies instead of cash was admirable, these cheating accusations has highlighted a serious flaw in the method. If Sony can't guarantee that all bidders who participate in their "Bid for Greatness" auction are legitimate, then they need to drop the shiny Gold Trophies payment and revert back to cold hard cash.

Shaq just got a new gig.
Cable channel truTV recently announced that the NBA player-turned-analyst will host host a new reality show. The show is tentatively titled "Upload with Shaquille O'Neal."
"Our creative team, headed by Susan Levison, developed a unique show that showcases Shaquille's sense of humor, and his ability to identify the most outrageous videos online," said Bruce Gersh, CEO of FishBowl Worldwide Media. Fishbowl Media is the company behind the show.
Comedians Gary Owen of "Think Like a Man" and Godfrey of "The Mr. Men Show" will join Shaq as he scours the internet looking for the funniest online videos to comment on. The crew will also create their own viral videos, pull pranks and parody current pop culture stories.
The show will be along the lines of Vh1's "Tosh.0" and MTV's "Ridiculousness" and is scheduled to run for 10 episode season.
"I've been a fan of truTV for a long time and I look forward to working with my good friends Gary Owen and Godfrey. I've always tried to entertain people and I know this show will deliver big laughs," Shaq said.
The show is expected to air toward the end of the year.

This is awesome - I triple the garlic and put it in the small bowl of my food processor to make a smooth paste to spread over the salmon before broiling. Be careful - the garlic burns easy. Serve this with the Sweet Potatos and warm black bean salad - they go great together
Salmon with Roasted Chile-Mango Sauce
From EatingWell: February/March 2005, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)
Pungent red chiles and sweet mango flavor this robust sauce, which accents simply broiled salmon wonderfully. Broiling salmon will perfume your kitchen, so if you prefer, cook the salmon on the grill, over direct heat, 8 to 12 minutes total.
3 Reviews for Salmon with Roasted Chile-Mango Sauce
Ok I totally cheated and used a bottle of prepared salsa verde, then mixed it in with the mango, but it was still amazing! So easy and colorful. Served the EatingWell Egyptian style edamame salad for a complete and delicious meal!
I will eat more salmon now. The sauce is fabulous. I loved it.

Soccer players (from left) Brandi Arey (Hough High), Carolyn Huddy (Lake Norman Charter) and Kendall Fischlein (Lake Norman High) played on North Carolina's team in the "Clash of the Carolinas," an all-star game in Daniel Island, S.C.'s Blackbaud Stadium, home of the Charleston Battery professional soccer team. The "Clash" is the only interstate all-star soccer contest of its kind and features the top graduated prep soccer players from the Carolinas.
Fischlein extended North Carolina's lead to 3-1 with a second-half goal on a header, and the game ended tied at 3. Huddy split time in goal, limiting South Carolina to one goal in 45 minutes of late first-half and early second half-play. Arey locked down the midfield for the Tar Heels.
All three girls will play NCAA Division I soccer this fall – Arey at Gardner-Webb, Huddy at UNC Wilmington, and Fischlein at Wake Forest.

North Mecklenburg's Ryan commits to North Carolina
HUNTERSVILLE – North Mecklenburg High pitcher Ryder Ryan, the Lake Norman Publications' 2013 Baseball Player of the Year, committed to North Carolina recently.
Ryan, a rising senior, also considered South Carolina and N.C. State. As a junior, Ryan was 5-3 with a 0.72 earned run average, two saves and 109 strikeouts in 68 innings. He batted .579 with five home runs and 29 RBIs.
Davidson's Cooke is finalist for college baseball award
RICHMOND, Va. – Davidson College baseball coach Dick Cooke is a finalist for CollegeBaseballInsider.com's 2013 Tom Walter Inspiration Award.
The award recognizes examples of inspiration in college baseball and is named for Wake Forest coach Tom Walter, who donated a kidney to freshman outfielder Kevin Jordan before the 2011 season.
In September 2012, Cooke was driving home from a recruiting visit when he was rear-ended on Interstate 77, forcing his car into a wooded area. Cooke sustained multiple serious injuries, including bleeding on his brain, broken ribs, a collapsed lung, a broken right tibia, a broken right ankle and a broken right cheekbone. Despite a strenuous rehab regimen and lingering effects from injuries that often required him to use a crutch and continue to slow him, Cooke returned to the dugout for the 2013 season to guide the Wildcats for a 23rd season.
Cooke is one of eight finalists for the award. The winner will be announced July 25.
LN Copperheads post league-best record
HUNTERSVILLE – The Lake Norman Copperheads finished with the best record (22-13) in the regular season of the Southern Collegiate Baseball League.
Lake Norman led the league in hits (261), doubles (24), home runs (15), RBIs (121) and total bases (366). Forrest Brandt, an outfielder, was fourth in the SCBL with a .345 batting average.
The Copperheads' team earned run average of 2.80 was second in the league. Chris Hassold (4-0), Mathew Ferraiolo (4-0) and Aaron Spano (4-2) finished tied for third in the league in victories. Hassold had a team-best ERA of 1.99. Josh Russell had five saves. The SCBL playoffs were scheduled to begin July 23.
Local teen sinks hole-in-one
STATESVILLE - Ben Woodruff, a Huntersville resident playing a National Junior Golf Tour event at Statesville Country Club, sank his first hole-in-one.
Woodruff, competing in the boys 12-13 age group, aced hole No. 12. He used a seven-iron on the 160-yard shot.
Davidson's Schafer shifts from playing to coaching
DAVIDSON - Joe Schafer, after playing tennis four years at Davidson College, joined the men's team as an assistant coach.
Schafer was a four-year starter from 2009 to 2013, playing both the No. 1 and 2 singles slots. He won at least 10 matches all four years, including a career-best 12 in 2011.
The Orchard Park, N.Y., native finished his career by earning the Southern Conference's Don Bunch/Buddy Hartsell Sportsmanship Award as a senior. Schafer tied for the team lead with 11 singles victories, going 11-8 overall.

Great Theories Regarding Professional Basketball
by Scott Leedy
"I don't check bags, I just carry on. Leave that BS in the past" – Curren$y
You can't knock the hustle. Sure you might point out that the Nuggets don't have a true "superstar." Yes, they gave JaVale McGee a pretty large sum of money. Maybe you're worried about George Karl's ability to competently coach during the playoffs. Sure, you could argue the West is too deep and too talented to allow the Nuggets to truly succeed. Okay, so Kenneth Faried doesn't have a ton of offensive ability, and he's undersized. Andre Miller is old. Ty Lawson is small. They don't have enough shooting. Andre Igoudala won't solve their "go to guy" problem. Still, despite any criticism, Denver and Masai Uriji stay winning (in the metaphorical, and literal sense).
The Nuggets have left the BS in the past. They turned the painful, potentially franchise-crippling Carmelo Anthony saga into a boatload of assets and talented young players. When Nene started sitting out games with a chipped toenail, they shipped his possible albatross of a contract out of town. No need to change anything in hindsight. No need to live in the past; The Nuggets are too busy staying a step ahead.
The Nuggets probably won't finish with a top 4 record in the Western Conference. They might not make it out of the first round. Javale McGee might disappoint, and the Andre Iguodala trade may not work out as envisioned. This will probably upset many Nuggets fans. They'll question the direction of a franchise that feels stuck in "good but not great" territory. But no matter what happens they should have faith in their franchise. This is a gifted management team. They know how to survive. They understand that it's all about the process. Don't get attached. Stay focused, stay cool, and stay on your grind. Be patient, be shrewd and results are sure to follow.
MVM: Most Valuable Meme
by Amin Vafa
JaVale McGee and the art of the Retweet.
Several months ago, JaVale McGee decided that he'd had enough of tweeting, but he didn't seem to have enough of Twitter. He only retweets. As in, he only tweets the tweets of others or he retweets things he said previously or he puts RT @JaValeMcGee34 in front of all of his tweets.
Why the hell would anyone do that? Because they're funny? Because they're insane? Because 140 characters is too many? You know what, though? It doesn't matter. He has been doing it FOR MONTHS. This is commitment to the bit at its finest. Never wavering. Never slipping. Wait, I take it back. It does matter. It's brilliant. JaVale's tweets are all of our tweets. It's a broad societal commentary about how what we all say is recycled from the ether; we're all connected, and nothing we say is original. But it's okay that nothing we say is original, because people will like it, and the familiarity of what we say is comforting to others.
So when JaVale tweets,
RT @JaValeMcGee34 RT @JaValeMcGee34 INSTAGAM MY NEW TWITTER FOLLOW @JavaleMcgee_34 PICS WORTH 1000 WORDS!
I have nothing but respect for a man that can point at society right in the face and say "Hey, you. Yeah, you, society. I'm talking to you. Look at how vain you are, talking about yourself. Telling people to pay attention to you in words and pictures. How dare you? This is what society has become: self-congratulation on both an individual and global level."
RT @AminVafaNBA: RT @AminVafaNBA: Thank you for bringing this issue to the forefront of our public consciousness, JaVale.
Ask Not For Whom The Bell Trolls, It's Trollin' For JaVale McGee
by Jordan White
Or rather, JaVale is trolling all of us. He is the ultimate troll.
One night, he looks as if he's figured it all out. He's flying up and down the court, blocking shots on one end and finishing strong with a dunk on the other. He's engaged in the half court, locking down his man, not giving him an inch and bothering and/or swatting every basketball that dares come within his territory. On offense, he's aggressive without killing ball movement, using his athleticism to get past slower centers and slamming down lob after lob after lob. On nights like these, he's a terror. Just ask the Los Angeles Lakers.
But the next night, we'll see the other JaVale. The one who looks completely lost on offense, showing minimal awareness and basketball IQ. It gets worse on the defensive end, where McGee (or perhaps it's Pierre on these nights, which would then bring to light an interesting Jekyll/Hyde theory for McGee's performances, but this isn't the time for that), like a kid with ADHD who forgot to take his Ritalin, can't maintain his focus for more than two seconds at a time, and completely forgets the rules regarding goaltending. I could go on, or you could just watch this.
McGee is never more joyful than when he swats a ball that was clearly on the way down. Which leads back to my theory that JaVale is the greatest of trolls. He knows what he's doing with his Jekyll and Hyde performances, knows that it infuriates his coaches yet oddly endears himself to basketball fans (except those in Denver or Washington). Sure, he could stop, take the game more seriously, adopt the KG mentality of focusing on the game and nothing else. But that's not McGee, and troll's gonna troll.
Doomsday Vs. Manna From Heaven
by Steve McPherson
Last season, the Nuggets were second in the league in pace and effective FG% and third in offensive rating, plus pushed the Lakers to seven games in the opening round of the playoffs before falling to them. But as much fun as they were in the open floor, they were also 20th in defensive rating. So what did everybody's favorite superstar-less team do in the offseason? They went and got the league's premier wing defender in Andre Iguodala, the guy who was supposed to be the next big thing in Philly after the last A.I. but never really got to superstar status. Seems fitting.
The real question this season is: Do they evolve into some kind of new age version of the 7 Seconds or Less Suns, minus even the floor general prowess of a player like Steve Nash, or does their entire lighter-than-air offense collapse in the oven like a doomed soufflé?
Here are the factors. They've either recently acquired two stupid athletic or stupid, athletic big men in JaVale McGee and Anthony Randolph. If they evolve into the players they could be (keep in mind Randolph is actually younger than McGee at 23), then they go into the 7SOL column. Throw a fully actualized and blocking, ooping McGee into a lineup with the tireless Faried, the long Gallinari, the tenacious Iguodala, and the havoc-wreaking Lawson and the team should be able to score like last year but defend a whole lot better.
But although Iguodala is a premier defender, he's not a center or power forward who can change the entire game with his defensive presence. He will help, but he's hardly a panacea. Also, it's more likely McGee stays McGee and Randolph stays Randolph. If this superstarless recipe has thrown a few too many nuts in there, soufflé city.

|Data Summary
|100% of students received a score of 3 or higher (out of 5) on the 4 aspects of their final projects. The lowest scores were for Outcome D; Contrast the differences between parametric and pixel editing. I believe that this is a result of the preponderance of emphasis in the course focused on Lightroom skills rather than Photoshop skills. I propose to bring instruction in these 2 applications closer to parity in the next semester.
|Planned Improvements
|Being the migration from Adobe Lightroom to Adobe Photoshop near the midpoint of the semester rather than approximately 2/3 through.
|Program Review Link
|Yes, the above future improvements require resources that will be requested during the next annual PROGRAM REVIEW cycle. Examples: additional staff, equipment, software, consulting services, etc.

PCC in the News
News: Study Abroad In Florence, Italy this Fall
Pasadena City College's Dr. Rita D'Amico, associate professor of Italian, and Dr. Sandra Haynes, professor of art history, will be leading the Florence Study Abroad program this fall semester. D'Amico will be teaching Italian Culture and Italian Cinema, while Haynes will be teaching History of Western Art, European, Renaissance and Baroque Art, and Art Fundamentals.
The study abroad program in Florence was started in 1996 by Dr. Simonetta May, a professor in the Languages Division at PCC, with the goal of exposing students to the rich culture of Italy and to provide the experience of living in a foreign country for an extended period of time. An integral part of the program, now in its 16th year, has been the study of the language, which has allowed our students to immerse themselves in the Italian life.

The Great Food Truck Race Recap: Week Six In Atlanta, Georgia
September 18, 2011 07:33 PM by Lori Wilson
The sixth week of Great Food Truck Race finds the remaining three teams – Lime, Hodge Podge and Roxy's – pulling into Atlanta, Georgia. This week, the teams discover how important location really is and one truck gets a much needed boost at the Truck Stop. To find out which two teams will compete in the finale and which team fell short, keep on reading.
Truck stop
The final three teams are challenged with creating a dish using peanuts and peaches. Each team is given a basket filled with items they can use, but they have to find the key ingredients, peanuts and peaches, on their own. They have one hour to create something from scratch. The teams run through Atlanta and buy their main ingredients from local restaurants. Kevin Rathbun, Atlanta restaurateur, judges the dishes and declares Roxy's as the winner of the peanut and peaches challenge. They are given a golden peach, which is worth $1,000 in their till at the end of the challenge.
The challenge
Hodge Podge secures a great location at Atlantic Station where they find their orders are flying out the window and they have their best day yet. Roxy's first location is a dud, so they move to midtown. Lime sets up in a location outside an office building that faces two big intersections. After slow sales, Lime decides to drive around looking for a new location. Atlantic Station returns their earlier call telling them they can have Hodge Podge's spot the next day. When they have little luck fining a new location for that day, they decide to return to their original spot. Meanwhile, Roxy's find they are ending their day on an upswing with steady sales.
Speed bump
The next day finds the teams in new locations. The Great Food Truck Race host Tyler Florence calls them to deliver the blow that the head chefs are off the trucks. They are being sent on a full day of relaxation, cultural sightseeing and maybe a couple of cocktails. They must leave their cell phones on the trucks so they can't even communicate with their teams. As the Hodge Podge ladies freak out over the change, they decide to keep their menu simple – fried chicken, pulled pork, fish tacos. Meanwhile, Roxy's is confident they can pull it off and Lime is ecstatic because they are the only team with two chefs. They feel they've been given a huge advantage. As the head chefs are forced to tour the Museum of Art, their teams scramble to feed the masses. Roxy's has a good selling day, while Lime slows down a bit, and Hodge Podge decides to set up by Lime. They try their signature poaching move and steal some of their customers. The head chefs eventually return from their day of culture to help their teams finish out the challenge.
The teams combined made over $24,000. Tyler tells them all deserve to be there, but one team must make the long lonely drive home. He announces that Hodge Podge wins the Atlanta challenge after pulling in $8,937. It comes down to Roxy's and Lime Truck. With $8,447 in sales, Lime Truck comes in second place. Despite Roxy's $l,000 head start, they are sent back to Boston. The finale of The Food Network reality show sees Lime and Hodge Podge pulling into Miami, Florida where their trucks get towed and the teams freak out.

|Patent application number
|Device is a fabric pouch with a sleeve that slides over an animal/pet/dog's existing collar. The pouch holds cooling/warming medium like flexible manufactured ice cubes against the underside of the animal/pet/dog's neck to aid with body temperature regulation - The application of cold or warm applied directly to the underside of an animal/pet/dog's neck where blood vessels run close to the skin can aid in the cooling or warming of the pet/dog's body temperature thereby making the animal/pet/dog more comfortable in warmer/cooler temperatures. My invention creates an easy to use pouch that can hold a cooling or warming medium like manufactured ice cubes, gel or other medium, and slips over the animal/pet/dog's regular collar. This device enables the cooling or warming medium to stay securely against the underside of the animal/pet/dog's neck. This allows the coldness/warmth produced by the cooling/warming medium in the pouch to transfer to the animal/pet/dog's body, lowering the animal/pet/dog's body temperature making the pet/dog more comfortable in hot/cold temperatures.

Originally from Kolkata, India, Souvik earned his MBA from Queen's University, Smith School of Business in Kingston, Ontario. Souvik shares why he chose to pursue his MBA in Canada and provides advice for prospective students.
As business careers become increasingly global in nature, prospective students are more concerned than ever about the extent to which their graduate business degree will provide them with opportunities to develop international exposure and experience. A European MBA allows students to obtain an international education and a get a leg up in the global workplace.
If you come from an unconventional background, you may be wondering how to best convey your experiences and knowledge in a way that demonstrates your potential to an MBA Admissions Committee. Mary Pat Jacobs, Director of Apply Point Admissions Consulting, understands. Before pursuing her MBA she worked in Public Relations as a speech writer and editor. In the latest installment of our Unconventional MBA series, Mary Pat shares her tips for successfully telling your unique story.
Courtney Cannon-Booth, a current MBA student (Class of 2016) at Boston College's Carroll School of Management and a Senior Community Investment Specialist at Comcast, shares her top 5 tips for prospective MBA students. Read Courtney's advice on researching programs, class participation, networking, and making the most out of your MBA.
As a young professional who is almost done spending four long (yet satisfying) years on getting an MBA, I often get a lot of questions from others considering this opportunity. Is it worth it? Where are you going? Do you like it? Do you have any suggestions? An incredible amount of time and money goes into getting a second degree, so you certainly don't want to waste either of those resources choosing the wrong program. There are countless tips and tricks I could give to those that ask, and it often ends up being a longer conversation than they probably asked for, however I can never stress enough how important it is to find a program that supports you, your goals, and your schedule. Although it was hard to narrow down the list, these five tips can point any current MBA prospect in the right direction:
Have you considered pursuing your MBA in Europe? You're not alone! More than ever, students from the US and around the world are setting their sights on European Business Schools. With improving currency exchange rates, flexible program options, and access to the global business world, doing your MBA in Europe is a smart business decision!
That's why The MBA Tour is bringing the top European Business Schools to New York City for an MBA Conference on Monday, June 20. Click here to register free!
In the first post of our newest blog series, The Unconventional MBA, Dilani Rabindran shares how her MBA allowed her to transition from undergrad scientist to entertainment executive.
Dilani Rabindran
MBA, DeGroote School of Business, McMaster University.
Occupation: Manager of International Marketing and Sales, Tribal Arts Productions
Most people are confused as to why I pursued my MBA, and my current roles as a South Indian film production executive and columnist, when they hear that my undergraduate degree is in Genetic Biology, with a minor in Mathematics and Statistics from McMaster University. I can't blame them – my path is nothing short of avant-garde.
From unique undergrad majors and work experience, to creative career paths and industries, in our new blog series we're exploring the world of the "unconventional" MBA.
Summer is around the corner! While thoughts of beach vacations may come to mind, current MBA students are focusing on one thing: securing an internship.
A summer internship is an extremely important component of your MBA. It allows you to apply the knowledge you've gained and make connections that could lead to a full time position post graduation. Internships also allow you to test the waters of a career or field in which you are interested.
MBA interns aren't fetching coffee and filing papers, far from it. These internships come with high salaries and lots of responsibility. So how does one go about getting that internship offer? We asked MBA alumni to provide us with their advice.
Liz describes her experience at Scheller College of Business and how it has benefitted her personally and professionally.

Raleigh, NC - The process of shale gas exploration, known as fracking, will be legal in North Carolina following the General Assembly's vote to override Governor Bev Perdue's veto of the bill, and it appears the deciding vote to override the veto was a mistake.
Rep. Becky Carney, a Democrat from Mecklenburg, was the deciding vote to legalize fracking, and she says she voted for the bill by mistake.
The vote to override Gov. Perdue's veto occured at approximately 10:00 pm on Monday night, and WRAL reports that after the vote. Rep. Carney was heard saying, "Oh my gosh, I pushed green."
Following the vote, Carney told reporters that she immediately tried to correct her mistake by turning her light on on the House floor.
Carney said House Speaker Thom Tillis would not recognize her, and when she went to try to change her vote, was told House rules state members can only change their vote if it won't impact the outcome of the vote.
Carney said, "I feel rotten and I feel tired. And I feel that mistakes are made constantly when people are tired. And I feel rotten about it. But I take responsibility for my vote."

The X Factor
The X Factor Review and Recap of the Michael Jackson Tribute Episode on November 30, 2011
Drew Ryniewicz, "Billie Jean"
L.A. and Paula want Drew to do something different and maybe uptempo. So, of course, she's doing a very stripped-down version of "Billie Jean," while sitting in a chair. Remember when David Cook sang the absolute hell out of this song on Idol? Damn, that was good. Anyway, Drew is doing a great job, but it's just the usual Drew thing. Haunting and sweet-voiced, you know. Plus this song is a little odd coming from a teenage girl? "It pains me to say this, but I liked it," L.A. admits. "I like YOU," Nicole says, but accuses Simon of playing it safe with Drew. "This was your best vocal performance, without question," says Paula. Holy guacamole, Drew looks tiny next to Steve.
Tonight, our Lucky 7 to perform the songs of Michael Jackson, while the slightly-less-lucky Jackson family has to sit in the audience and watch and occasionally offer awkward commentary. Fun for everyone! Let's see how it goes down.
Astro (Brian Bradley), "Black or White" (Sort Of)
Okay, so Astro isn't so much covering "Black or White" as sampling it. The verses are an Astro rap about, like, world peace and stuff, and the dancers behind him are in kilts with Russian-looking hats and face veils... like they're supposed to represent all cultures or something maybe? The lyrics are pretty good when we can catch them. "I look at the world like a Crayola box, so forget about colors, just rock," is a line we liked. Nicole tells him he's "bad" as in good, Paula tells him he's the "past, present, and future," and Simon tells him he's glad the public kept him.
Marcus Canty, "P.Y.T."
Everyone's sporting some MJ-inspired military outfits, which so far is the best part of this performance. Marcus sounds a little... nasal? It's okay, but he's a better singer than this. On the plus side, his arms look really good, so he's got that going for him. Oh, and a standing back tuck! (That's a hands-free backflip for those of you who were never gymnasts or cheerleaders.) Pretty fancy stuff. "I love you, PYT... I hope America recognizes and appreciates you," Nicole says. "What a beautiful homage to the late, great Michael Jackson," Paula tells him. "I don't think the vocals were very good," Simon says. "That flip you did, I hope it flips you into some votes," L.A. says.
Chris Rene, "I'll Be There"
Chris's grandfather wrote "Rockin' Robin," which was recorded by The Jackson 5. That's pretty awesome. The performance is less awesome. The thing about Chris is that he's kind of charming, and he's a pretty good rapper and he seems like a nice guy, but his actual singing isn't so hot. There are a lot of bum notes. Sorry, dude. Nicole, however, felt his spirit. "You manifest with abundance in the heart department," says Paula, whatever that means, and blames his inability to find the right songs on the fact that he's a writer. "The vocal was a little bit shaky at the top," Simon says, and adds that Chris will need a lot of support from his fans. "You know you are the truth," L.A. says.
Rachel Crow, "Can You Feel It?"
Rachel's wearing a single glove, aw! She's also rocking a silver sequined blouse, and her backup dancers all look sort of futuristic. This performance is in no way designed to show off her vocal ability, and the overall effect is cute, but not particularly impressive. "It didn't translate... that wasn't the best I've seen you," L.A. tells her. Rachel says she felt it the best she could. "Normally you shine all the way to the sun and back, but I didn't feel that you felt it," Nicole says. Paula agrees with them, and Simon pretty much accuses the other judges of all just ganging up on him or something. Except they were right, so, whatever!
Melanie Amaro, "Earth Song"
Whoa, Melanie looks hot! Her hair's kind of big and curly and she's in a streamlined black outfit and she looks great. The stylists have done an incredible job making her look like a pop star, and as always, she sounds fantastic. "For one second I forgot that we were in a competition and I thought that we were at a Melanie Amaro concert," L.A. says. "It was one of the best performances I've seen on the entire show... if that performance doesn't save a small country somewhere I don't know what will," says Nicole. Paula calls the performance flawless, and Simon adds that he couldn't think of a better way to pay tribute to one of the greatest artists in the world.
Tomorrow night, another double elimination! People likely to be in trouble: Chris Rene and... Marcus Canty? Astro? What do you think?
Josh Krajcik, "Dirty Diana"
Josh explains in his pre-song package that Michael Jackson is a departure for him, stylistically. He's brought his guitar to try and make the song more "him," although he... just has it strapped on his back. Ooookay! This is a pretty good song choice for Josh, although the execution isn't as good as you'd hope. There are dancing girls in white men's shirts, if you're into that sort of thing. "You landed on your feet, my man," L.A. tells him. Paula calls it a showstopping performance, but Simon says Josh was overproduced and got "lost in all the choreography."

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. - After dropping two of three games at Arkansas this past weekend, the Alabama Crimson Tide (15-8, 3-3 SEC) will play a non-conference game against the Troy Trojans (14-10, 3-2 Sun Belt) on Tuesday night. The game between the Crimson Tide on Trojans will begin at 6:37 p.m. CT at the Vince J. Whibbs Maritime Community Park in Pensacola, Fla. The neutral site game will also be televised on CST with Mike Morgan and Tommy Thrall providing the commentary.
After losing the SEC series to Arkansas, Alabama dropped out of the national rankings this week. The Tide is receiving votes in the NCBWA poll. Alabama has won 11 of its last 14 games while posting a season-long seven game winning streak during that stretch. Following last week's home midweek sweep of Alcorn State, Alabama is 12-3 at Sewell-Thomas Stadium. After defeating Alcorn State 17-3 and 12-0 last week, Alabama completed a season-long nine-game homestand with an 8-1 record. When playing away from The Joe, Alabama has a 3-5 record.
