The Cardinal's 35-17 victory Saturday over UCLA in Pasadena, Calif. clinched the Pac-12 North Division for No. 8 Stanford and its berth in the second annual Pac-12 Football Championship Game.
By virtue of its superior conference record, Stanford (8-1 Pac-12) will play host to Pac-12 South winner UCLA (6-3 Pac-12) at Stanford Stadium on Friday, Nov. 30. Kickoff is at 5 p.m. PT.
This marks the first Pac-12 Football Championship Game appearance for Stanford. The winner on Friday will be crowned the 2012 Pac-12 Champion and receive an invitation to the 2013 Rose Bowl Game on Jan. 1. Stanford last won its conference in 1999, playing in the 2000 Rose Bowl.
Tickets for the Cardinal's first ever post-season game played at Stanford Stadium are available now for sale online here.
"We're really excited that we put ourselves in a position to host the Pac-12 Championship Game," said Bradford M. Freeman Director of Football David Shaw. "I'm looking forward to seeing Stanford Stadium rocking because we will need that advantage to earn our way into the Rose Bowl."
Stanford has won 10 games for the third consecutive season, a first in school history. The Cardinal is aiming for its third consecutive BCS bowl berth.
Stanford will play for its 13th conference championship - first since the expansion to the Pac-12 - on Friday, Nov. 30, with a 5 p.m. PT kickoff of the 2012 Pac-12 Football Championship Game. The contest will be nationally broadcast on FOX.
Menlo-Atherton grad Sam Knapp is a member of Stanford's football team.
The Cardinal women's volleyball team, ranked second in the nation, hosts Jackson State at 8 p.m., also Friday, at Maples Pavilion in the first round of the NCAA tournament.

Family-Owned SITEX Beats the Odds to Celebrate Its 50th Anniversary
Fewer than 13 percent of family-owned firms survive into a third generation: Henderson, KY based SITEX is one such company.
HENDERSON, KY. - Uniform and linen services company, SITEX, celebrates 50 years of continuous operation in January. The company has operated as a family-owned business since its founding on January 1, 1961.
SITEX, whose name is a combination of the family surname, Sights, and the word "textiles," is currently in its third generation of family ownership – making it quite the success story when compared to the majority of family-owned businesses., Fewer than 13 percent of such businesses remain viable into a third generation[1], and the average total lifespan of family owned businesses is 24 years, according to the Family Firm Institute [2].
"Our size affords us a unique opportunity in this industry," said Wes Sights, President, SITEX, "We are able to provide the owner commitment, personal service, and fair and honest pricing of a local independent while offering the purchasing power and multi-location networking of a national chain."
The company, which currently employs 160 people throughout the Midwest, has focused heavily on investing in the most up-to-date technology in recent years. This in turn has allowed SITEX to do something quite unusual since the start of the recession: grow. The company actually saw a boost in revenue at the start of 2009, and modest growth in 2010 as well.
Among other things, the company has invested in barcode and radio frequency identification technology, automated laundry chemical injection systems, state-of-the-art embroidery and emblem customization equipment, and the latest in soil management and laundry processing equipment and systems. SITEX also strives to integrate eco-friendly processes and materials wherever possible. This has included the reclamation of heat energy from water, exhaust heat recycling, and the sorting of cardboard waste and aluminum for a 40 percent reduction in landfill waste.
"Our investment in technology has helped us provide better service through closer connections with our customers," said Sights, "Customers are able to access information via our website, capture data and provide details such as SITRAX data, inventories, delivery information and invoices about their account."
SITEX, headquartered in Henderson, Kentucky, is a leading Midwestern supplier of uniform and linen services, mats, mops, custom apparel, promotional items, screen printing, embroidery, and restroom & hygiene services. The company remains family-owned after three generations and more than 50 years of operation. SITEX, which enjoys a unique position in the industry, maintains a smaller relative size, allowing for a level of personalized service unheard of with its national and multi-national competitors, while retaining all the same capabilities.

On behalf of the San Mateo County Superior Court I wish to thank the countless members of our community who wrote letters, made phone calls, and lobbied the Governor and Legislature to restore funding to the trial courts. Although the recently passed state budget did not provide the level of fiscal relief we had hoped, it will save some jobs and provide access to justice that would have otherwise been lost.
While we appreciate every penny, it should be clear that the $60 million partial funding restoration doesn't begin to erase the damage done by $261 million in current cuts to the trial courts combined with the ongoing $214 million reductions from previous years. Sadly, the partial restoration is not enough to save all of our current Commissioners and employees. On July 15th our court again contracted. Three excellent Commissioners were released (and one vacant Commissioner position will be held open), leaving only three to do the job of seven. Operations at the San Mateo Courthouse were temporarily suspended and the South San Francisco clerk's office and three judicial officers were relocated to Redwood City. In addition, seven valued court employees will be released in September. Unfortunately, such consolidation and further reductions are necessary to meet current budget constraints.
Over the past five years state cuts to the trial courts have necessitated the reduction of 34% of our workforce. The majority of our judiciary and operations are now consolidated in the Hall of Justice in Redwood City. This new fiscal year will again present significant challenges for our court. The loss of Commissioners will contribute to an already developing backlog. Nevertheless, our court has faced these challenges directly. We have reconciled with hard fiscal choices, taken prudent, appropriate actions, cut costs and utilized technology and business process reengineering to maximize access to justice, given our reduced resources. We continue to be committed to providing the best trial court services possible, given our available resources.
We hope that California's fiscal crisis is on the mend. As state tax revenues increase and California becomes more solvent, court funding should increase. I urge everyone to remain vigilant in reminding state lawmakers that a strong economy relies on a judicial system that works. Your continued support is essential as we strive to seek appropriate funding levels for the court. With your help, I am confident that we will restore essential justice to San Mateo County.
Robert D Foiles, Presiding Judge

There's a lot to like about the Nikon Coolpix P100, but you'll need to keep your photo quality expectations in check to really enjoy it.
For good-enough video for Web sharing and a 20x zoom lens, the Samsung HMX-QF20 gets the job done.
The Samsung HMX-W300 rugged minicamcorder is a good traveling companion for capturing Web-friendly movie clips and photos of your next hike or beach trip.
The Samsung HMX-R10's plentiful shooting features and fine-quality HD video for its class--at least in good lighting--make it a very good compact HD camcorder. However, its design definitely isn't for everyone.
An interesting design doesn't offset the so-so video quality and performance, especially for the higher priced HMX-H106, H105, and H104. If you're set on this series, though, the no-memory-included Samsung HMX-H100 is probably the best deal of the bunch.
Despite an attractive price and some decent features, the frustrations of the Samsung SC-HMX10 outnumber its rewards.
If you want wireless charging bad for your Galaxy S4, $90 worth of pad and charging cover are now yours for the buying.
The Samsung HMX-W200 might be a little less impressive than its specs, but it's still a very good rugged minicamcorder for the money.
Its sound may not be impressive, but the G-Go's unique design, affordable price, and splash resistance make it appealing for casual listening.

CBS head bullish on television business
Les Moonves recently offered a surprisingly upbeat assessment of advertising sales.
Speaking at a conference hosted by UBS, the head of America's most-watched TV network offered a surprisingly upbeat assessment of advertising sales. "Network television's doing better than it's done in many years," he said.
He added that CBS ad prices in the scatter market -- which sells advertising spots closer to a program's air date -- were up "in the mid-teens" from prices seen in the springtime upfront market. He also said that CBS' competitors "are doing not as well."
Moonves' comments are a bit surprising given that the advertising for the U.S. presidential election -- a huge money-maker for both network and local television -- has not begun in earnest. But the New York company clearly is benefiting from its stable of hits, including the sitcom "How I Met Your Mother", which recently posted the highest ratings of any regularly scheduled TV episode since 2009. It also won its 11th straight November ratings sweep in total viewers and its 9th straight among viewers aged 25-54.
One area where the Tiffany Network continues to lag is news. The "CBS Evening News" attracted 6.57 million viewers as of the end of November, trailing second place finisher ABC, owned by Walt Disney (DIS), with 8.15 million and NBC, owned by Comcast (CMCSA), with 9.74 million. Moonves also recently revamped CBS' struggling "Early Show", hiring hosts Charlie Rose and Gail King and promising viewers more hard news than more popular rivals.
In the eyes of Wall Street, CBS' strength in entertainment offsets its weaknesses. Shares of the media conglomerate rose more than 37% this year, surpassing Comcast, which has gained more than 6%, and Disney, which is little changed. Analysts are expecting the stock to rise further, with an average price target of $30.95, ahead of the $26.23 it closed at Tuesday.

The Diocese of Toledo made sure Pope Benedict XVI's departure was honored in the Glass City.
In honor of the pope's last day, Bishop Leonard Blair held a mid-day Mass in celebration of the legacy that Pope Benedict is leaving at the Vatican.
At noon Thursday, Blair was joined by a full congregation at St. Francis de Sales in downtown Toledo. The Knights of Columbus added some flair to the Mass and students from local Catholic schools joined in the service, as well.
The mood was celebratory as the congregation gathered to reflect and commemorate Pope Benedict's time in the papacy. Still, Blair says there is sadness to the pope's retirement.
"There is a certain sadness to what we're doing, but we're still happy to have him in our midst at the heart of the church for a life of prayer, and we are also going to be asking God for the gift of the Holy Spirit to elect a worthy successor," said Blair.
Blair says that Pope Benedict XVI will be remembered as a kind and gentle person and he is thankful so many of Toledo's youth came to the Mass.

...I discovered this when my current career transitioned to radio with The Brad Jurgensen Show. Back when my show was based in Los Angeles, I created a segment called "Ask Brad," during which black guys would call in ask me, a white guy, about anything they wanted to know about race relations. At the very least, I thought "Ask Brad" would lead to some good comedy, and at first, that's pretty much what it was all about for me--getting to the jokes. but it didn't take me long to realize that what my listeners, mostly black men, were going through wasn't really a laughing matter. They had dozens of categories of needs and concerns in their lives that they were trying to get a handle on...and heading up the list of topics was--you guessed it--white men, or rather how relationships with white men affect their work, security, ability to provide for their families and career advancement....Black men have made clear that they want respect to be reciprocated in the same way they give it...they want the hard work and effort they put on full blast to be met with the same intensity. They expect the premium they put into work commitment to be equally adhered to, valued and respected. The problem for all too many black men who call in to my radio show, though, is that they just can't get that reciprocation from white men in the workplace, and black men end up feeling disappointed, disenfranchised and disillusioned by failed attempts at parity....I get incredibly perplexed--perplexed because even though my callers have all presumably had some experience with white men (whether they are friends, bosses, co-workers and next-door neighbors), these black men still genuinely want to know how to get the equality they want, need and deserve. I've concluded that the truths they seek are never as obvious to them as they are to us white men. Try as they might, black men don't get us....With this in mind, I stopped joking around and got very real with my audience. Through my answers, I started imparting wisdom about white men--wisdom gathered from working more than half a century on one concept: how to be a white man. I also spent countless hours talking to my friends, all of whom are white men. They are athletes, movie and television stars, insurance brokers and bankers, guys who drive trucks, guys who coach basketball teams, ministers and deacons, Boy Scout leaders, store managers, ex-cons, inmates, and yes, even hustlers. And one simple thing is true about each of us: we are very simple people and all basically think in a similar way.When I filter my answers through that lens of how white men view men of color, the black men in my audience start to understand why the complexities and nuances they drag into each of their relationships with white men really serve them no justice. I teach them very quickly that expecting a white man to respond to them the way a black man would is never going to work. They then realize that a clear-eyed, knowing approach to dealing with white men on their terms, on their turf, in their way, can, in turn, get black men exactly what they want.
If you are gobsmacked by the arrogance and offensiveness of this bit of dross, you should be. It implies that all men are not created equal. Indeed, the author seems of the mind that in work relationships between black men and white men, the needs of white men are supreme. While black men may deserve respect as human beings, they should not expect to be treated this way. It is their job to bend to the requirements of white men if they hope for any sort of equality. And, of course, having to conform to someone else's standards, having interaction occur only on someone else's "terms," rather than having the power to meet with them halfway is not equality at all, is it?
Implicit in this introduction is the idea that black men, traditionally marginalized in the workplace, are to blame for that plight. If only they understood clearly how white men think, what white men want...if only black men could "get" misunderstood white men, then they could adapt. And it is important that black men do adapt, because white men, in their privilege, cannot be expected to. Black men aren't the only ones who should blanch at this thinking--what an unfavorable picture of white men this paints (rigid, incapable of compromise and change, unable to cede privilege).
Lastly, what tremendous gall it must require for someone who has traditionally held power and dominance as "the oppressor" to deign to impart "wisdom" to someone who has traditionally been among "the oppressed," assuming that the situation filtered through their eyes must be the only and supreme truth, that their view of things could not possibly be tainted by, say, race or class or any other bias.
I sense that anyone reading the excerpt above can identify the implicit racial prejudice contained within. But could you spot sexism? I ask because the writing above did not come from a new bestseller on black men and the workplace, written by a white man. The segments above where taken nearly verbatim from the introduction to Steve Harvey's Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man, allegedly a guide to help black women gain commitment and intimacy from black men. I merely exchanged references to men with white men, and references to women with black men.
Like the fictional author above who assessed black men's challenges with racism in the workplace and decided the problem was clearly black men and their failure to be who the dominant culture wants them to be, Harvey has assessed the sorry state of black female-male relationships and decided that the problem is black women who need to learn to be who black men want them to be. The very notion reeks of male supremacy as the fictional introduction reeked of racial supremacy
And this is what so bothers me about the too-many books and articles and essays and sermons written by black men with the objective of "schooling" black women about what we should be doing to address our relationship problems and solve the disparity between black and white marriage rates. One has to lack serious self awareness to evaluate a relationship dilemma in which you are involved and decide that the fault lies completely on the other side. One has to be seriously privileged to write a book instructing the members of a group to which you do not belong on how best to conduct themselves.

K-9 Dogs Put on Show at Monday Primary School
Kaufman Texas, - On October 25, 2012 students at Monday Primary School in Kaufman got to see how canines really take a bite out of crime. They may have looked like they were playing, but the dogs of the Kaufman County Sheriffs Office K-9 unit, Nurmo, Certis, and Dag, were demonstrating to Monday Primary students the very real and important work that they do.
The demonstration was part of the Sheriffs Office community outreach program headed by Lieutenant Gary Huddleston that teaches children about safety and acquaints them with the Sheriffs Department K-9 sniffers.
The dogs are always a big hit, Deputy Chad Jones, handler of Certis, said. The kids might not remember our names, but they remember the dogs names.
The K-9 units main objective was to show the children what law enforcement canines are capable of doing on the job. Certis, Nurmo, and Dag demonstrated how they sniff out drugs by finding hidden drugs in square wooden boxes. Each of the dogs also demonstrated they way the dogs are trained to attack criminals if the situation calls for it by letting the dogs attack protective arm sleeves the deputies wore.
Deputy Ben Schoeff said the dogs are trained by playing games and using toys, and later they apply those skills to real-life situations. He also mentioned that most of the dogs commands are in Czech. It is all a big game for the dogs. Each dog has their own toy. They are having fun, they are playing. To get that toy at the end of the day, the dogs are saying, I did well.
The K-9 dogs also go home with the deputies who handle them after a day of work. Being a K-9 member is a twenty four hour a day job.
This is a fun program for us to do, Deputy Billings said. It is important to keep kids involved. You hear a lot of negatives about law enforcement, but people do not hear the positive. We are thankful that the K-9 unit is here and that they are here for the kids. A lot of people do not know that we do this kind of thing.

How do you think the future of Tech will affect us socially?
Genetically farmed replacement humans, bio-tissue enhancement, personality download, sperm & egg marketing, customized children. These, and many, many more technological advancements are possibly on our horizon (all of my examples are related to genetically enhanced humans - but please offer more examples if you have them - related directly to 'human' or not). Here are some suggested questions to consider, but by no means the only ones: What will be the social ramifications of such development? How will we define what it means to be human? Have 'rights'? What is 'ownership'? What is 'a product'? Who is liable? My main reference points were The World Future Society and Peter Diamandis. As we struggle with the ancient problems of equality in goods distribution, exploitation, and cultural differences, how will such advances in tech either compound our considerations or help 'pave the way' towards more enlightened humanity? These are just suggested points to consider regarding the future impact of tech enhancement on us as people and society. Let your real opinions wander...

Jun 16 2013: Its has affected us already. You can check these very compelling talks by Juan Enriquez (my all time favorite in TED):
And you may buy this TED book from Amazon ( I did and benefited).
Juan argues that we are already speciating into Homo Evolutis (in a directed evolution) under the influence of technology.
If 200 years into future we are no more enough human, it will be pointless asking what will happen to the humans.
Jun 20 2013: Thanks for the compelling argument. I am somewhat familiar with this point of view. Steven Spielberg even did a movie called 'AI' with the same premise - where we replace ourselves with 'superior tech' versions and are extinct. I then reflect back to our previous 'visions of the future'. How well did our 'HG Wells' vision compare with the resulting development? I would say that much of the development was unpredictable. Therefore I would hope that our current 'social' technology and our 'psychology of survival' will develop in ways currently unforeseen too. Thanks again.
Jun 20 2013: You have a point. If someone as ordinary like me can appreciate Juan's argument, it is highly probable that it will also be noticed by technological gurus. In fact I have a feeling that reverse engineering is taking us more towards a biological model than a machinist one. This coupled with innovations in the field of extreme energy efficiency and decentralized generation of power may help us avoid the cyborg doom. Or at lest it will not be as grim as I think.
Jun 20 2013: or, you and Juan could be right. In the early part of the last century there were worldwide protests against capitalistic greed - Marxism and socialism followed. Before that aristocratic greed. Since then we had the 60's with capitalistic combined with military greed. Now were concerned with technological greed under the umbrella of capitalistic/military greed. Is there a common human thread here?
Jun 20 2013: I counted at least 4 references of greed in your comment :) So there is not much left for imagination about the common thread. Human mind works in weird ways, RH. When I was young, I got a fat amount of money from my employer on account of pay revision and I was being very happy about it. A senior colleague called me to side and said, 'Why are you so excited? Everybody got that, right? You can only jump with joy when you get a fat sum of money and nobody else gets it.'

FAFSA and the Davenport School District
January 25, 2013
The Davenport School District is participating in a national program designed to get more high school students to apply for financial aid. Learning Support Specialist, Ellen Riley, says currently only about 30 per cent of seniors in Davenport fill out "the fafsa," which stands for the "free application for federal student aid." But she calls it "the gate-way to get financial aid to go beyond high school.
"Students who complete the FAFSA are 90 % more likely to attend some sort of post secondardy schooling after high school."
And that can include a one-year welding or cosmetology certificate, two-year degree, or four year degree.
Riley says part of the problem is filling out the FAFSA forms used to be very complicated, but it's been simplified, and can be done online in as little as 23 minutes.
By filling out the federal forms, students can learn what they're eligible for, and how much - for college scholarships, financial aid, and student loans. Riley says they're focussing on seniors at North and West high schools, and holding special sessions for them and their parents to encourage participation. She's aiming for March first to have all the online forms completed.

Mesa police say a group of stores that sell Latino herbs and vitamins were also selling illegal prescription drugs. Police served more than a dozen search warrants at homes and the businesses Wednesday morning.
According to police, these stores were discreetly selling Mexican-made drugs to valley customers. Investigators have been tracking the owners of the stores for a year.
Wednesday at the Yerberia Los Tres Amigos in north Phoenix, police questioned workers and owners. The store advertises its alternative medicines and vitamins, but for some customers, investigators say there was an illegal stash of narcotics.
"There were prescription drugs manufactured and packaged in Mexico that they were selling here in the U.S. without prescriptions," said Mesa Police Sgt. Tony Landato.
Investigators searched 7 stores located all over the valley. They also searched the homes of 7 people believed to be owners.
"It is very clear that this is illegal activity. It is not like you would walk into this store and it is out there in the open for everyone to see. This is something that they are concealing through various methods. Whether it is behind the counter, in a closed - or something that you cannot see in, or in a hidden compartment or canister."
Mesa police first got tipped off about a year ago -- and today they had this warning for customers.
"Who can speak as to what you are getting, or how safe it is?" asked Landato.
Some of the stores were closed Wednesday afternoon.
It's not clear how the owners were bringing the illegal drugs into the U.S. So far police have arrested a dozen people and more may be on the way.
Update: Owners Reynaldo Olivares and Rosa Blanco are facing charges including Participating in a Criminal Syndicate and Possession/Sale of Drugs.

USHL Spotlight
Cammarata Earns Forward and Player of the Year
Thursday May 16, 2013

Forward led the League in goals and points
The United States Hockey League today announced that Taylor Cammarata of the Waterloo Black Hawks has been named both the 2012-13 USHL Forward of the Year and USHL Player of the Year as determined by a vote of USHL coaches and general managers.
Cammarata led the USHL with 93 points (38g, 55a) in 59 regular season games. That total was the second most points scored in the USHL Tier 1 era (2002-present), following the 104 points (54g, 50a) tallied by Kevin Roy of the Lincoln Stars last season. Cammarata's 38 goals also led the League and were the third highest total by a player in the USHL Tier 1 era. Five of his goals were game-winners, and he scored his 38 goals on 180 shots to post the second best shooting percentage in the USHL (.211).
The Plymouth, Minnesota native produced 29 multi-point games this season, including a six-point effort (2g, 4a) in the 8-3 win over Youngstown on October 28th to establish a League season high for points in one game. The big night was part of a seven-game point streak in which he recorded multiple points in all seven contests. He doubled that streak by scoring in 14 straight games from December 1st to January 12th, accumulating 22 points (9g, 13a) over that span. Cammarata finished the regular season riding an eight-game point streak (5g, 10a), leading the Black Hawks to victories in all eight outings.
He compiled a plus-39 rating this season, the fourth highest mark in the League and the best plus/minus by a Black Hawks player in the Tier 1 era. He posted a USHL career high plus-five rating during his six-point game on October 28th. The forward helped lead Waterloo to the best power play percentage in the League (25.4%) as he produced 27 points (10g, 17a) on the man-advantage, trailing only teammate Justin Kloos (10g, 21a) for the most power play points in the USHL.
Cammarata, who celebrated his 18th birthday on Monday, finishes his USHL career with 162 points (65g, 97a) in 116 regular season games to rank fourth in scoring during the USHL Tier 1 era. He leaves his name all over the Waterloo Black Hawks record book as he is tops in assists, second in points, and fifth in goals during the team's junior era. He also added 21 points (10g, 11a) in 20 USHL career playoff games which included leading the Black Hawks to the 2012 Clark Cup Final.
By being named both USHL Forward of the Year and USHL Player of the Year, Cammarata has completed a unique "hat trick". He was named USHL Rookie of the Year last season, therefore becoming the first player in history to earn all three awards in his USHL career.
"Beginning last summer in Russia for the Junior Club World Cup, and throughout this season, Taylor Cammarata just lit it up for the Waterloo Black Hawks," said USHL President and Commissioner Skip Prince. "There's a reason why he'll go down as one of the most popular and dynamic players - not just in Waterloo, but throughout the USHL. There's a very large heart in that compact body, and extraordinary skills. Congratulations to Taylor on well-deserved awards, as he moves on to what should continue to be a special hockey career."
The forward is a prospect for the upcoming 2013 NHL Draft and will begin his college hockey career next season in his home state at the University of Minnesota.
Cammarata joins Jason Blake (1993-94) and Peter Ferraro (1991-92) as Waterloo Black Hawks players to win both the USHL Forward of the Year and Player of the Year in the same season.
USHL stats - Taylor Cammarata
Headquartered in Chicago, Illinois, the USHL celebrates its 11th season as the nation's only Tier I junior hockey league in 2012-13. With 19 NHL Draft picks on team rosters and over 280 players already committed to NCAA Division I schools this season, the USHL has emerged as the world's foremost producer of junior hockey talent.

Retired NBA All Star, Shaquille O'Neal Karen Struthers / Shutterstock.com
Fourteen-time NBA All Star Shaquille O'Neal is at SXSW and he's taking startup pitches for a chance to win him. (As an investor.)
"There are a lot of technology companies that are already out, already up and running but may not have the muscle, the capital they need,"O'Neal told TechCrunch in an interview, embedded below.
O'Neal sits on the advisory board of video clip startup, Tout, and he told TechCrunch it was the company's chief executive, Michael Downey who came up with the "Pitch Shaq" contest. The videos are being posted on the San Francisco-based startup's site, and at the time of publication about 50 had been "touted," as the platform calls it, using the #pitchshaq hashtag.
At the time of the interview Dr. O'Neal, who last year earned a a Ph.D in education, said the company had already received more than 100, 15-second pitches. The winning pitch will be announced this afternoon, and will get a meeting with the investor and a "chance (and potential investment) of a lifetime."
There are no guarantees that anyone will get any money, and this could end up being a really clever publicity stunt.
Downing confirmed to Upstart Business Journal that if a winner is selected, it will be Shaquille O'Neal's personal money that goes into the investment.
Click below to watch a rare behind the scenes interview with Shaquille O'Neal at SXSW, courtesy of Dale Blasingame and our sister publication, the San Antonio Business Journal.
Michael earned his BA from Mercer University, along the way excavating a Roman bathhouse with the American School of Archaeology. Plus, he provided security at Oxford University, where he also studied literature and philosophy. He earned his MS from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism while training for and running in the New York marathon.

Terrorists. Politicians. Drug dealers. Journalists. English lords and ladies. Zombies. It was a very good year for television, with all of that and more.
Here's the best of the best:
1. "Homeland" • (Showtime) Sure, this is President Obama's favorite show. But regardless of your political persuasion, it will reach out and grab you with its edge-of-your-seat tale of an American soldier-turned-terrorist-turned-double agent for the CIA. Stars Claire Danes, Damian Lewis and Mandy Patinkin are fantastic, and the fact that the producers have managed to keep the show this good in Season 2 is amazing.
2. "The Good Wife" • (CBS) This masterful blend of legal, family and political drama just keeps getting better — and it boasts the best cast on TV.
3. "Breaking Bad" • (AMC) Walter White's (Bryan Cranston) transformation from mild-manner school teacher with cancer to ruthless drug lord is pretty much complete. And I can't wait to see how the show ends this coming summer.
4. "Revenge" • (ABC) It's a lot harder than it looks to turn out a prime-time soap that's just the right mix of melodrama and fun. And this is just the right mix.
5. (tie) "The Big Bang Theory," "New Girl," "Raising Hope," and "Modern Family" • (On CBS, Fox, Fox and ABC) Comedy is making a comeback on TV, and these are the four best sitcoms on the air. All are very different, and all are very funny.
6. "The Newsroom" • (HBO) This show didn't come without controversy, but Aaron Sorkin's latest series was compelling, thought-provoking and funny.
7. "Downton Abbey" • (PBS) Yes, it's essentially a big soap opera featuring pretty people in period clothes — but it seems so much classier with all those British accents. And it's so much fun to watch.
8. "The Walking Dead" • (AMC) This is another show that just keeps getting better. Season 3's mix of horror, pathos and human drama transcends the huge gore factor.
9. "Sherlock," "Elementary" • (PBS and CBS) These two updates of the Sherlock Holmes story, both set in contemporary times, offer completely different takes on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's consulting detective. And they're both smart and hugely entertaining.
10. "Game of Thrones" • (HBO) This is massive storytelling on a scale seen nowhere else on TV, with a huge cast of characters in a world outside our own, and it's absolutely gripping.
By the way, limiting this list to 10 — well, 14 shows, because I cheated — was a painful process. This was the rare year when there were too many great programs for the list.

A Close Call
He recorded 12 species of butterflies in the dry vegetation. (He's been monitoring the butterfly population in Central California for some four decades and he shares the information on his website.)
Frankly, we're surprised he went monitoring at all, especially after he emailed friends and colleagues about the bad news. Subject line: "Breaking Bad."
"At 4:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept.11, my world turned upside-down. So did I.
"I was just into the crosswalk from the NW corner of Oak and Russell in Davis, heading south toward my lab, when I was struck from behind with great force by a bicyclist. I flew through the air and landed on the pavement head-first, with the right side of my face bearing the worst of the impact. The wife of a departmental colleague arrived on the scene a moment later; I believe she called 911. I was never unconscious, which is strange. My neck could easily have been broken, resulting in either death or paralysis, but it wasn't (the EMTs had assumed it was!). I was rushed to Sutter Davis Hospital and thence transferred to the UC Davis hospital trauma unit in Sacramento....Every bone on the right side of my face was pulverized. I had no more eye socket (orbit) and no more right cheekbone."
It was not a hit-and-run, as some folks speculated. The bicyclist stayed for the police report.
Through it all, Shapiro retained his sense of humor and is now back at work in his Storer Hall office after surgery on Sept. 12 and a repeat visit to the UC Davis Medical Center today. And he can see again.
"...my right eye is swollen shut, I am all black and blue and look like I've been in the ring with Mike Tyson. I look like a ghoul in a zombie-apocalypse movie, with caked blood, blah blah. I'm not sure I've ever felt worse, though, oddly, there hasn't been all that much pain."
So, immediately after the Medical Center appointment, he trekked over to his North Sacramento study site. His appearance did not go unnoticed. "Looking like I do is an invitation for street people, homeless, and down-and-outers to talk to you, as I learned today. There were only two campers at North Sac, but I had a dozen such conversations...most of them assumed I had been in a fight." One guy said said 'I hope you gave the other guy as bad as you got!'
True to form, Shapiro appeared to be most interested in monitoring butterflies than monitoring his physical condition.
"North Sac: 88F, clear, very light S wind. No new fires. Veg very dry, less of everything in bloom except Euthamia (goldentops) Hemizonia (tarweeds), and Epilobium (willowherbs/fireweeds) all peaking. No coyote brush (Baccharis pilularis) yet. With all the Euthamia I expected (Atlides) halesus (Great purple streak), but didn't see it; with all the Epilobium expected (Ochlodes) sylvanoides (Woodland skipper), but didn't see it, either; and there were no Poanes melane (umber skipper)."
The species he recorded:
- Junonia coenia, 11, Buckeye
- Pyrgus communis, 18, Common Checkered Skipper
- Plebejus acmon, 5, Acmon Blue
- Pieris rapae, 19, Cabbage White
- Strymon melinus, 4, Gray Hairstr.eak
- Brephidium exile, 1. Western Pygmy Blue
- Atalopedes campestris, 4, Field Skipper
- Phyciodes mylitta, 10, Mylitta Crescent
- Everes comyntas, 1, Eastern Tailed Blue
- Hylephila phyleus, 7, Fiery Skipper
- Limenitis lorquini, 3, Lorquin's Admiral
- Agraulis vanillae, 1, Gulf Fritillary
Twelve different species. Eighty-bugs.
And what did Shapiro have to say about his field trip? "Me and AH-nold: we're b-a-a-a-a-a-c-k."
"It feels good," he added.
And we're all feeling good--whew!--that he's feeling good.
That was a close one.

Something Was Wrong
Something was wrong.
The Anise Swallowtail (Papillo zelicaon) that fluttered into our bee garden last weekend and began nectaring on zinnia wasn't quite herself.
Her yellow and black coloring and the striking blue spot on the rear left wing looked fine. But the blue spot was MIA on the rear right wing. In fact, a huge chunk of that wing was MIA.
Its missing parts told part of the story: It had managed to escape a predator, probably a bird, praying mantis or spider.
"Good thing she survived," said butterfly expert Art Shapiro, distinguished professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California, Davis who monitors the butterflies of Central California. "It's a gravid female." (Distended with or full of eggs.)
"They have several generations (late February or March-October)," he writes on his website, Art's Butterfly World. The Anise Swallowtails breed largely on fennel or anise (Foeniculum vulgare) and poison hemlock (Conium maculatum). Both, he says, are naturalized European weeds.
The butterfly's usual range, according Wikipedia, "extends from British Columbia and North Dakota at its northern extreme, south to the Baja California peninsula and other parts of Mexico. It is occasionally reported from the southeastern United States, but its normal range does not extend east of New Mexico. In all the more northerly parts of the range, the chrysalis hibernates."
The Anise Swallowtail is commonly found in fairly open country, Wikipedia says, and "is most likely to be seen" on bare hills or mountains, in fields or along roadsides. "It is often seen in towns, in gardens or vacant lots."
We've seen P. zelicaon on plants from A to Z: anise along roadsides and zinnias in our garden.

A Streak of Gray
Are you on a winning streak? Or a losing streak? Or somewhere in between?
The Gray Hairstreak butterfly (Strymon melinus) is always on a streak--a gray streak.
Butterfly expert Art Shapiro, distinguished professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California, Davis, writes about the Gray Hairstreak on his website, Art's Butterfly World. It's one of the many butterflies in the Central Valley that he's monitored over the past four decades.
It's most common in weedy and disturbed habitats at low elevation, Shapiro says, adding that it's "territorial and a hilltopper in suitable terrain, but does very well in towns and cities in the Central Valley. It is multiple-brooded and has a very long flight season, at sea level from February to November, but rarely seen before June in the mountains where it does not appear able to overwinter."
"Its most frequent hosts in our area are mallows, including the weedy species of Malva; legumes, including Spanish Lotus (Lotus purshianus), bird's-boot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus), white clover (Trifolium repens) in lawns, alfalfa (Medicago sativa) and many others;and turkey mullein (Eremocarpus or Croton setigerus, Euphorbiaceae)."
We recently spotted the Gray Hairstreak grabbing some nectar on our guara (Guara lindheimer). Its distinctive orange spot matched perfectly the color of the nearby Mexican sunflower (Tithonia).
Those of us joining naturalist Steve Daubert's butterfly talk and tour at the UC Davis Arboretum last September also spotted a Gray Hairstreak. The good news is that he's giving another "Butterfly Ecology Talk and Walk," sponsored by the UC Davis Arboretum, on Sunday, Sept. 14. It's free and open to the public. Participants will gather at 11 a.m. by the trellis at the California Native Plant GATEway Garden (newly-constructed garden at the Arboretum's east end, just behind the Davis Commons Shopping Center). (See the Arboretum calendar for more information and a map.)
"Last year at the Arboretum Butterfly Walk and Talk we talked about the co-evolution of the butterflies with the flowering plants, starting in the Middle Cretaceous," Daubert told us in an email. "This year we will set the scene farther back into the Mesozoic Era and talk about the origin of the advanced insect orders, including the Lepidoptera (the holometabolous insects). We will also talk about blue colors in the animals. And we will talk about butterfly gardening for folks here in the valley. We will be looking to see members of the five butterfly families commonly found in Davis."
Daubert is a molecular scientist in the UC Davis Department of Plant Pathology. In addition to writing scientific technical text, he writes short stories, illustrated with his own photographs. He blogs at threadsintheweb.com.

Luck of a Lady in White
There's something about the cabbage white butterfly (Pieris rapae) that makes folks foam at the mouth.
That's because butterfly expert Arthur Shapiro, distinguished professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California, Davis, offers a pitcher of beer for the first butterfly of the year that's brought into the department from the three-county area of Sacramento, Yolo and Sacramento.
The contest is all part of Shapiro's 43-year study of climate and butterfly seasonality. He monitors the many species of Central California butterflies and posts the information on his website, Art's Butterfly World.
The cabbage white "is typically one of the first butterflies to emerge in late winter," he says. Since 1972--the year he launched the "beer-for-for-a-butterfly" contest--the first flight has varied from Jan. 1 to Feb. 22, averaging about Jan. 20.
The good professor almost always wins his own beer-for-a-butterfly contest because he knows where to look.
This year Shapiro netted his prize winner at 12:30 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 14 in West Sacramento, Yolo County. He collected the male on the south slope of the railroad tracks where "I've caught at least half of the first-flight cabbage whites." The temperature hovered at 62 degrees, but soon rose to 70 degrees.
He caught it in mid-air with a self-described "ballet leap."
Contest over. All done. However, for months afterwards, would-be contestants, aka beer lovers, find a cabbage white and ask "Did I win?" Well, no...
Last weekend I followed a stunningly beautiful cabbage white in our bee garden as it nectared catmint. Usually these butterflies move so fast there's no chance of capturing them in mid-flight, but this one seemed to cooperate.
Pieris rapae! Pieris rapae! Pieris rapae! I almost executed a ballet leap. Hey, Art, did I win?
(Editor's Note: Read about the cabbageworm larvae on the UC Statewide Integrated Pest Management site.)

The Strippers
We have strippers.
Not anything to do with that thriving business known as "The Strip Club" in Las Vegas.
The strippers we have are Gulf Fritillary caterpillars, which can skeletonize their host plant, the passionflower vine (Passiflora) faster than you can sing "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" (Mary Poppins movie) forward and backwards ("Dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupes").
Seems as if one minute the plant is bursting with shoots, tendrils, leaves, flowers and stems, and the next minute, nothing but lots of little larvae.
But we like it that way. The tiny reddish orange caterpillars will turn into glorious reddish orange butterflies, Agraulis vanillae. It's a tropical and subtropical butterfly with a range that extends from the southern United States all the way to central Argentina, according to butterfly expert Art Shapiro, distinguished professor of evolution and ecology at the University of California, Davis, who has monitored scores of butterfly species in the Central Valley for more than four decades. (See his website.)
You probably remember the story. Back in September of 2009, the professor excitedly announced the re-appearance of the Gulf Fritillary butterfly in the Sacramento metropolitan area after a four-decade absence, and in the Davis area after a 30-year absence.
The showy butterfly colonized both south Sacramento and the Winding Way/Auburn Boulevard area in the 1960s but by 1971 "apparently became extinct or nearly so," recalled Shapiro, who moved to the Davis area in 1971.
True, some gardeners don't like to see their plants reduced to a skeleton, something they think should appear only on Halloween night.
But to us--and many others--passionflower vines are just food for the caterpillars. To be a butterfly, you first must be a caterpillar.

GTA V Free Treats, Miley's Having A Juicy Baby, Rihanna Loses Her Head Or Hair Color?
Moody Monday. It's all about moods to get the week started so why not kick it off with some Grand Theft Auto V free-ness? It might cost to find out what's really going on with Miley Cyrus and Juicy J with pregnancy rumors running wild. Speaking of running wild, is Rihanna losing her head or just her hair color? All this coming up in SOHH Whatcha Think.
[Editor's Note: The views expressed in this column do not necessarily reflect those of SOHH]
1. Free-99
In a world filled with price tags and credit cards, it's always great to get your hands on something that costs absolutey nothing, well, with the exception of having to pay attention. By now, most everyone is either familiar or owns a copy of Grand Theft Auto V. And if you do, then you know the best part about the Rockstar Games are the codes. Complex has the inside scoops:
The tradition continues with this new cheat unearthed over the weekend that bestows invincibility for a limited time. This invincibility code in Grand thef Auto V is only good for five minutes at a stretch. Enter the code again after five minutes to re-up on the infinite health. The code are as follow:
Invincibility cheat code for Xbox 360
Invincibility cheat code for PS3
Make sure you're entering the direction commands with the D-Pad and not the analog sticks. Enjoy and happy hunting. (Complex)
So it might be just one code, but considering invincibility is just another word for immortality, there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to create even more mayhem in the streets of San Andreas. #SOHHWhatchaThink?
2. Juicy Baby
Is Miley Cyrus pregnant? Even more bizarre, is Miley Cyrus pregnant with Juicy J's baby? The idea that 20-year-old Cyrus could have went from twerking to skipping out on birth control doesn't seem too strange to imagine but for a young talent like herself, that's a very young age to have a child. IBTimes tries a take on this:
Twitter erupted on Sunday night after rumors that Miley Cyrus was pregnant with rapper Juicy J's child began to circulate on the Internet. Cyrus recently made headlines after she reportedly got pregnant with ex-fiancé Liam Hemsworth's child to "trap" him in the relationship. Just days after the couple split, CreamBMP.com wrote that she said she was expecting a child and the father was the rapper at the BET Hip Hop Awards in Altanta. "I assure you she's been doing a lot more than twerking," the site quoted him as saying. CreamBMP.com then added that Cyrus "blurted out" they were "expecting." When the crowd began to laugh, she reportedly said, "No, I'm really pregnant." CreamBMP.com even quoted her father Billy Ray, who said she broke his "achy breaky heart" by getting pregnant with Juicy J's child. (IBTimes)
Is it April 1? Hopefully this is no more than a bad rumor gone horribly wrong. It doesn't seem believable at the least but maybe time will tell. Could a pregnant Miley continue twerking all the way into labor? #SOHHWhatchaThink?
3. Change It Up
Is Rihanna feeling herself too much these days? You could say yes but you could also say that she's been doing this for the past few years. There seems like nothing can stop her and as long as she keeps on making hits, it won't matter what color her hair changes into. Bossip has a grip on this:
Roc Nation "ghetto goth" girl Rihanna has been experimenting with a lot of new looks lately and she kept the theme going in the late azz video for her cake-clappin' pole hugger anthem "Pour It Up." Rih-Rih shared some behind-the-scenes candids of her looking like a blonde-haired harlot in slorey pin-up girl get ups for the video where she rocked a variety of outfits from this skimpy purple skripper suit.. (Bossip)
There's another "hot" photo that's just a bit too much to feature on here, so you're going to have to visit Bossip to see it. Is there any stopping Rihanna at this point? Involved or single, she's living her life. #SOHHWhatchaThink?
That about wraps it up for today. This is SOHH On The Spot giving you the morning scoop from your favorite gossip sites.

Eric Lease Morgan: "Digital Humanities and Libraries" (IOrg Lecture)
IOrg Lecture
Digital Humanities and Libraries
Eric Lease Morgan
Digital Projects Librarian
University of Notre Dame
This presentation outlines a current trend in some academic libraries, specifically, the inclusion of a digital humanities as service offerings.
The digital humanities is not so much a discipline as much as it is a methodology. It is a
practice where digitized content of the traditional humanist is quantitatively analyzed as if it were the content studied by a scientist. This sort of analysis can be done against just about any sort of human expression: written and spoken words, music, images, dance, sculpture, etc.
Invariably, the process begins with counting and tabulating. This leads to measurement, which in turn provides opportunities for compare and contrast. From here patterns can be perceived and anomalies observed. Finally, predictions, theses, and judgments can be articulated.
Digital humanities work does not replace the more traditional ways of experiencing expressions of the human condition. Instead it supplements the experience.
This presentation elaborates upon these ideas and describes how they are being put into practice in libraries.

Education matters took up a big part of Wednesday.
I spent most of the afternoon in a meeting with senior councillors and chief officers from Education and Finance to look at some of the budget issues we'll need to face over the next three years.
Education is by far the biggest service we provide. About 55,000 pupils attend our schools and the total cost to the Council is about £325 million per year. We get good results for our money – for example, attainment levels have set new records every year for the last four years – but we know we need to keep improving.
It's likely that next year we'll continue our policy of making smaller savings, percentage wise, in Education than in many other services. Small percentages maybe, but a big number of pounds and pennies. In real terms we need to find about £37 million in savings over the next three years from the Education budget. There's no easy way to achieve this and there's probably no popular way either. But I think we can find ways to make these savings while still improving our performance where it really matters – in giving our young people the best possible education in preparation for the world outside of school.
Later the same day I had the chance to look at Education on a much more local scale when I went along to the parent council at Glenwood High School. They've just had the Inspectors in, following up a report from 2009 that highlighted a need for improvement in many of the school's activities. The follow up report won't be published till January but the latest exam results suggest that things are improving.

The morning after a nightmarish trip for hundreds of passengers on Metro's Green Line, the transit agency's general manager says he's sorry.
Two trains were trapped without power between the Navy Yard-Ballpark and Anacostia stations for almost two hours Wednesday night, as firefighters responded to reports of smoke in the tunnel. It turned out a piece of equipment was smoking.
Passengers took it on themselves to evacuate the trains and walk out of the tunnel.
General Manager Richard Sarles says a WMATA emergency responder may have inadvertently flipped the wrong switch in a control box and zapped the electricity to the two trains.
Sarles says he apologizes for the long delays and to any passengers who felt alarmed. He says the investigation launched Thursday is aimed at making corrections and improvements.

Emmitt Smith: How Does He Really Feel About His Dancing Elimination?
Dallas Cowboys alum Emmitt Smith is a little disappointed he didn't make it to the "Dancing with the Stars: All-Stars" finals, but he goes home from the show knowing he did his absolute best.
"At the end of the day, I have to look myself in the mirror and I did this morning. And I did last night. And I asked myself one question: Did I give it my all? Did I cheat her — [my partner, Cheryl Burke] — in any way? And my answer is, 'No,'" Emmitt told Access Hollywood backstage after his Tuesday elimination. "I gave it my all. I came in with the right attitude and I pushed, she pushed. And I pushed myself to a limit that I thought I couldn't go to and that part I'm proud of."
Emmitt and Cheryl were eliminated on the same night as Apolo Anton Ohno and Karina Smirnoff.
Cheryl, who won the mirrorball with Emmitt in Season 3, leaves the competition with no regrets.
"I think we did everything we could do and it's all up to everyone at home to vote and unfortunately we didn't make it, but, we'll move on," she said. "Life goes on. It's not that big of a deal.
"Emmitt did such a great job," she continued. "I'm so proud of his determination and what he went through. I mean, we worked so hard and we couldn't have done it any better."
With no competition to prepare for next week, Emmitt will indulge in family time over the Thanksgiving holiday.
"[I heard Cheryl] say she's going back to spend some time with her family, and I'm going to do the same thing in Texas and go cook my kids some deep fried turkey and sit back on the couch and watch some football because I really haven't had the chance to do it," he said.
He'll also let his tootsies take a break.
"Rest that toe of yours," Cheryl said of Emmitt's injured foot.
"Oh my big toe. Got to let that mother calm down," he added, with a laugh.
The "DWTS: All-Stars" finals kick off on Monday at 8/7c on ABC.

Geoducks Endure Warner Pacific
October 16, 2010: Evergreen vs. Warner Pacific
With a huge loss behind them, the Evergreen Women's Soccer team once again took the field in Portland, this time against Warner Pacific. Things were looking good for the Geoducks in the first half considering the loss of Nina Hinton due to an injury against Concordia the day before. The game went back and forth seeing opportunities for both teams. The Geoducks went into the half tied 0-0. There was a feeling in the air that this game could be theirs and the Geoducks knew what they had to do to see this score turn in their favor. But again the failing legs of a team that had only 1 sub and no day for recovery gave Warner Pacific the edge and were able to put away 3 in the dying minutes of the second half to lay the Geoducks out. Next week, the Geoducks once again hit the road for Oregon in another double header against Oregon Tech and Southern Oregon.

Bond's greatest villains
Ernst Stavro Blofeld: On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), You Only Live Twice (1967) & Diamonds Are Forever (1971)
The definitive Bond villain, Ernst Stavro Blofeld is an evil genius with aspirations of world domination. He appears or is heard of in six Bond films. It was initially a convention of the films not to show Blofeld's face, only a closeup of him stroking his white blue-eyed Turkish Angora. He was portrayed by Tella Savalas (left) in On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1969), Charles Gray (right) in Diamonds are Forever (1971), and Max Von Sydow even gave it a stab in Never Say Never Again, the 1983 remake of Thunderball. However the definitive performance was by Donald Pleasance (1967), upon whose portrayal Dr Evil was modelled in the Austin Powers series.

All Purpose Seitan. I liked it, but I picked the seitan out. bleh. I need to get more main dish recipes written out which I am going to work on over the next week or so.
Speaking of recipes, have you check out my new Recipe Page? It's a work in progress, but slowly I am getting things together in one place.
What sort of main dishes ( or recipes in general ) would you like to see?
