Sign up for a Crutchfield account Overview Details Customer Reviews Q&A Articles & Videos Accessories Our take on the Focal Chorus 714 by Dave Bar Floor-standing speakers still standing tall Sure, floor-standing tower speakers buck the industry trend toward smaller, visually inconspicuous speakers, but they're hard to beat if great sound is your primary goal. Tower speakers produce powerful sound with excellent bass, making them a great choice for serious music lovers and for folks who want high-impact home theater. A room full of beautiful music As the smallest floor standing speaker in Focal's Chorus 700 lineup, the slender C 714 takes up very little floor space. But there's nothing small about this speaker's sound. Its rich midrange, taut bass, and smooth, airy highs will envelop your listening room, making your music and movie soundtracks come alive. Given its heritage, that shouldn't come as too big a surprise. The entire Chorus series borrows driver technologies developed by Focal for their sophisticated world-class speakers, giving you high-end performance at a more budget friendly price. Advanced design for natural, high-definition sound Chorus 700 series speakers boast Focal's latest 1" aluminum/magnesium inverted dome tweeter. Inverting the dome optimizes the connection between the voice coil and the dome, maximizing efficiency and precision. Plus, the tweeter's new lightweight polyurethane micro-cellular foam suspension allows the dome to move more freely for lower distortion, greater accuracy, and smoother sound. The speakers' tight, responsive bass and dynamic midrange come courtesy of two Focal 5" Polyglass woofers. These drivers are created by depositing a layer of hollow silica glass microbeads over a layer of cellulose pulp. This unique material combines the warm sound of cellulose fiber with the incredible strength of glass, for a stiff-yet-lightweight cone that responds rapidly with extremely low resonance. A butyl rubber surround helps stabilize cone movement and provides excellent long-term reliability. Tying the drivers together is Focal's OPC (Optimum Phase Crossover) crossover network for precise, natural, and stable imaging and soundstaging. Stylish, vibration resistant cabinets All Chorus speakers feature thick MDF cabinets with heavy internal bracing and non-parallel inner wall structure to resist performance-robbing vibrations. The cabinets have a traditional look that's softened by slightly curved front panels. An attractive woodgrain vinyl or textured leatherette/high-gloss black finish allows the Chorus speakers to easily integrate into just about any décor. Built in-house for better quality and value The speaker drivers in every Chorus speaker are built in-house at Focal's facilities in Saint-Etienne, France. Why is that important? Because it gives Focal complete control over every aspect of design, manufacture, and quality control — resulting a consistently superior, high-value product. Got wire?

We stay on top of new products and technologies to help people make informed choices. Features 2.5-Way Floor-Standing Speaker: The Focal Chorus 714 floor-standing loudspeaker employs a 2.5-way design which combines a 1" tweeter and two 5" cone woofers. The 1" aluminum/magnesium inverted-dome tweeter (TNV2) features a new Poron suspension material that softens the audio performance and provides smoother sound. The two 5" woofers cover the bass together, but only the upper woofer is used for the mid-range. Together the dual 5" woofers provide dynamic midrange and deep midbass. TNV2 Tweeter w/ Poron Suspension: The Focal Chorus 714 features a single 1" TNV2 inverted-dome tweeter made of aluminum and magnesium alloy. The inverted-dome technology allows optimal energy transfer and wide dispersion. The aluminum/magnesium makeup guarantees exception performance in terms of stiffness and damping, thus ensuring a subtle blend of softness and dynamics. Performance of the TNV2 tweeter is enhanced by its new Poron suspension material. Poron is a polyurethane micro-cellular foam which has a porous open-cell structure. This memory foam is very light which means that the suspension will not become damaged or compressed with time. It is an essential element of the TNV2 tweeter as the suspension allows the dome to move freely. Its uniform and constant physical properties ensure excellent stability and linearity, along with extreme accuracy and distortion-free sound. The result is a sound which is soft and precise and which offers improved harmonics richness and a more precise soundstage. Dual Polyglass Cone Woofers: The Focal Chorus 714 features two 5" polyglass woofers. The Polyglass cone woofer has been a Focal tradition for the last 30 years. This cellulose fiber cone woofer offers renowned lightness and damping characteristics. But its Focal's special surface treatment of silica micro-balls which gives the woofer a huge increase in rigidity for a negligible increase in mass. The definition and dynamic capacity of this cone, when combined with a very powerful magnet, generate a very fine reproduction, with an exceptionally rich midrange/midbass. Optimum Phase Crossover (OPC): The Focal Chorus 714 floor-standing loudspeaker utilizes an Optimum Phase Crossover (OPC) to seamlessly blend the audio output of the tweeter, midrange, and bass drivers for a precise, natural, and stable soundstage and image. Solid MDF Cabinet: The Focal Chorus 714 floor-standing loudspeaker features a contemporary designed cabinet with a wood-grain vinyl finish. The cabinet uses solid MDF construction (up to 1" thick), internal bracing, and a non-parallel inner wall structure to reduce internal resonance for less coloration. This bass reflex type cabinet uses an aerodynamic front port for greater efficiency and to reduce distortion of the bass. The Focal Chorus 714 floor-standing loudspeaker is available in a Black, Rosewood, or Walnut finish. A detachable black cloth grille is also included. Binding Posts: The Chorus 714 is fitted with a pair of binding posts that will accept bare wire (up to 10AWG), pin connectors, spade connectors, and banana plugs (single only). The binding posts are color-coded for easy identification between positive (red) and negative (black). Rubber or Spiked Feet: The Chorus 714 comes with four rubber feet for tile and hardwood floors, and four spiked feet for carpeted flooring. These feet ensure better stability, no matter what type of flooring you have. The spiked feet are adjustable in height to combat against uneven floors. The spiked feet add approximately 0.4375-0.6875" to the overall height of the speaker. The spiked feet easily thread into the base of the speaker, while the four rubber feet have to be hammered into the base. Applications: The Chorus 714 loudspeaker has been engineered to work with stereo systems, as well as with home theater systems. The Chorus 714 delivers the most faithful sound reproduction, whether you are listening to a music or movie soundtrack. Suitable for rooms up to 270 sq/ft.

Well, the 714's slug Ruthian-like home runs. Crisp, detailed, clear, with plenty of base. Teaming up with a Denon internet receiver easily provides ample power. Hardly broken in, this pair promises many years of beautiful music to my ears, and leaves a small footprint in my 12X13 listening room. Pros: Spectacular, full, detailed sound.

Comments about OBOZ Women's Luna Hiking Shoes, Mineral Blue:
I was looking for a new day hiker for Colorado and tested these out in some rocky places in Virginia - wonderful! As with all Oboz, my Superfeet stayed on the shelf since the footbed is like none other. If you want stability without weight or a mid-height, this shoe is perfect. A word of caution: though the arch is strong and the toe box roomy, it is a low volume shoe.
Not waterproof but does shed more than I expected in light rain. Another winner from Oboz!

Comments about OBOZ Women's Luna Hiking Shoes, Mineral Blue:
I use these shoes with the green super feet insoles. They are awesome and comfortable right out of the box. A roomy toe box area and good solid support underfoot. I have had chronic plantar fasciitis for years and have a great deal of difficulty finding a shoe that gives enough support and the right amount of flexibility so as not to aggravate my feet. Most sneakers provide too much motion or too much cushion and not enough support. These provide just what I need! The only bad thing, which really doesn't take away from the performance at all, is that they look a little bulky. But when it comes to comfort, that is low on my priority. I have received many compliments on them. I highly recommend them!

Hi and apologies if this or similar questions have been asked before I am new to the forum!
I have had 'old' SLR cameras before (Pentax) and then switched to digital some years back, having gone through compacts, zooms and bridge cameras never really feeling satisfied with the results I am going to buy a DSLR. The price and specifications now seem much more appealing and I have more time to 'play' with toys!
I currently have a couple of olympus digitals about 5 years old and a slightly newer panasonic lumix which is ok, but I find all of them a bit slow and limited, having to change cameras sometimes to get decent results, none of these cameras is very good for action / sports.
I have done a little research and playing in shops and have decided between the canon EOS 650d and the Nikon D5200, I keep getting pushed towards the EOS650 by salesmen who are admittedly canon fans and havent used a D5200 so they are biased.
We need an all round camera for the family, my wife is involved in crafting & baking so needs flexibility to alter depth of field and macro use while I will use it for sport and general family & landscape stuff.
My budget is flexible at around £500 plus for a camera (basic kit) and I can spend another £250 or so on a telephoto lens to get us under way hence my choice of the above.
I have seen the canon EOS650D for around £450 with 18-55 lens and the Nikon 5200 for £600 so both on budget.
any input very welcome!
I am not complete novice but will need to re-learn a lot due to the lazy compacts I have been using so want something I can use straight away but 'grow' with also.
thank you!

I'm purchasing a new martin slayer x... who shoots them and can you get them in the shoot through??
I'm purchasing a new martin slayer x... who shoots them and can you get them in the shoot through??
I don't have a Slayer but I suggest a Nitrous cam and yes, in the shoot through.
I have an 06' Slayer. They only come with nitrous cams. Awesome bow, you'll like it.
The website still lists them as coming with Dyna Cam.Originally Posted by slayer69
Sorry, you're correct. My local Martin dealer only orders them with nitrous cams. That's the only cams I would get.
Me too. Seems a waste to put a single cam on a Slayer.That's the only cams I would get.
But that's pretty dang fast for a single cam.
Getting a Slayer in a single is a bit of a waste and it has to come from the custom shop. Deffinitely go X you will have more accuracy and probably pick up 3-7 fps. I really enjoy mine. I have been shooting my P-3's more lately but they are Nitrous X as well. I wouldn't own a bow that wasn't an X cam system.

I'm new to the sport but just love these bows. A friend has a Fury which I've been shooting for a few months. As soon as I shot it for the first time I was hooked.
Anyway, to the point. Just purchased an old Lynx XRG and would like to know if I can get a manual somehow. I don't know the serial # right now but here's what I do know.
55-70# draw weight
30" draw length
36" string
It has the round cams, about 2" diameter.
If you need the serial # I can get that tomorrow.
An electronic copy e-mailed to email@example.com would be ideal, if that's not available I'd take a paper copy in the mail too
That could be sent to:

Generally, tubes are circular in cross-section. However, in special cases and with the tubes for the frame of the impec in particular, it is really not that simple..
The perfect racing machine – according to ancient wisdom – transforms maximum possible energy invested by its rider into direct propulsion without bringing its own weight to bear. The frame needs to be light and rigid and yet stable and agile at the same time.
in order to bring these attributes together in an optimum ratio in the impec, we first concentrated on the design of the frame tubes. We wanted to design each individual tube in such a way that it will optimally absorb and distribute across its entire length all the stresses that are brought to bear.
This wasn't actually a new idea for our engineers and designers. For a number of years, they had been working on technologies so that we could optimize frame tubes from composite material specific to load. The terms "Tuned Compliance Concept" and "Force Specific Tubing", for example, represent BMC innovations that provide for greater stability, accurate handling and increased rider comfort and were of key importance in the development of the impec.
We knew pretty well where a frame needed to be more rigid in order to optimize the efficiency of its rider. We knew how the perfect frame tube needed to be designed – and incidentally it is very rarely round. and we knew that such perfection would remain Utopian without the perfect manufacturing process. it was time to develop Load Specific Weave.
impec Technology No 1 is the Load Specific Weave process – LSW. This robot-controlled process creates the frame tubes for the impec. Each of them is manufactured with absolute precision and made-to-measure according to specification with verifiable accuracy...
LSW is the name of a complex three-stage process at the end of which is the perfect frame tube. in brief, the three stages are as follows: weaving, resin injection and cutting – and from these stages comes a humble, flawless carbon tube that only needs to be lacquered, printed and attached to other equally faultless tubes to make the perfect frame.
The strict use of digital technology results in absolute transparency in Load Specific Weave. To provide for this transparency, each workpiece carrier is equipped with a data matrix which contains all the programs for the different process stages that the frame tubes of the impec pass through. The system gives the various robots their commands and at the same time records all the relevant data for each individual workpiece.
Load Specific Weave means
In a more detailed version, the production of the impec commences as follows: an industrial robot picks up a material carrier with the positive mold of the tube that is to be produced. it then feeds this core to a radial braiding machine as up until now has been similarly used mainly in the production of steel cables. The data matrix is read off and the weaving process begins. More than 100 bobbins loaded with wafer-thin threads run through the machine along sinusoidal paths to weave a seamless tube of carbon fibers around the positive core at the center of the machine. The material density and arrangement of the fibers is determined here by the rate of advance and the mold of the positive core. The rate of advance varies according to the specific load for which the tube is configured at this point. When the carbon structure is fully woven, the tube is cut off, the material carrier retracts from the radial braider and another core takes its place on the machine.
in the next stage of production, a tube is formed from the made-to-measure carbon sleeve. To achieve the required production quality, we have developed the first fully automated resin injection process in the world for composite materials. Although this is largely a strictly guarded commercial secret, it would be hardly possible to continue the story of the creation of the perfect frame without a few key details.
Central to the second stage of the process are the female molds of all the tubes from which the frame of the impec is created. in these molds, the resin infusion of the carbon structures takes place under absolutely controlled conditions. For this process, the positive core with the previously load-specific woven carbon sleeve is fed into the corresponding mold. A special 2-component resin is then injected through a mixing tube at the lower end of the mold. The workpiece is then left in the mold for as long as it takes to complete the curing process.
We now move on to the third and final production stage of the Load Specific Weave process – cutting the tubes to length. This process is also fully automated and prepared and carried out with extreme precision by industrial robots. Step 1: The tube is separated from the mold together with its positive core. Step 2: The material carrier with the positive core is removed from the tube. Step 3: a precision saw with diamond blades cuts the tube to its final size. Step 4: The finished tube goes for final inspection and then to the paintshop.
We knew what we wanted to do. We knew that we wanted to manufacture the perfect frame tubes. But what this perfect joining together of the tubes would ultimately look like was a completely different matter..
When the aim is 100 % performance, then to get there you need 100 % quality. and when the aim is 100 % quality, then to get there you need 100 % process control. This was the perfection-driven pressure we were working under when it came to defining the nodal points of the impec frame.
We were looking for a solution that would pass all the requirements for the impec with flying colors in terms of weight, stiffness and quality. The frame joints placed particular demands on our engineers; indeed, the solution that we finally decided on would not have been recognizable as such when we first started on the development.
Construction, material and manufacturing process. These three aspects of the frame joints formed the Gordian knot of the impec which could not be untangled using conventional ideas. Everything seemed to be impossibly connected with each other. Until at some point we had the simple idea of creating the frame joints of the impec in two parts.
A clean cut then led to impec Technology no 2, the Shell Node Concept, where the joints at the nodal points of the frame are not one-piece collars but are each made from two half-shells. These half-shells are manufactured from a revolutionary composite compound material, are extremely rigid and yet light, have outstanding shock absorption qualities and can be connected to the frame tubes in the final assembly with absolute control and precision.
impec Technology No 2 is the Shell Node Concept – SNC. With this extremely rigid and high precision half-shell technology, we can also design the frame joints of the impec so that there is nothing to stop us providing a lifetime guarantee..
SNC is the revolution in the construction of the impec. indeed, SNC allows us to design also the nodal points of the frame so that absolute process control is possible. Three aspects of the Shell Node Concept are of particular importance here. The design, the material and the process.
SNC is more than just a form of technology. SNC is also a design philosophy. The half-shell system allowed us to succeed in consistently transferring the technology of the BMC Skeleton Concept to the entire frame. The impec proudly wears its insides on the outside – it conceals nothing. However, key to the flawless quality of the impec are the inner qualities of the individual half-shells. Their ribbed structure defines the junctions to the frame tubes with absolute precision, while the inner and outer geometries of the shells are configured to optimize the load.
SNC was possible only through a new composite compound material which can be processed by injection molding and fully exploits the qualities of carbon as a material. The granules that are used consist for the most part of carbon fibers and a special 2-component resin.
Mold flow analysis
The direction of the carbon fibers inside the various shells can be precisely defined in a simulation process – mold flow analysis – before the final CAD data is fed into the tool construction program. With this mold flow analysis, our engineers were able to make the inside of the shell visible. in this way, we were able to record cleanly and continue to optimize all the key process parameters for injection molding, such as temperature, fill time, flow rate and flow properties.
Tests and CT
To verify the results of the mold flow analysis, the next stage involved construction of the injection molding tools. Small batches of shells were produced which we then subjected to a series of tests. This included scanning the half-shells in a computed tomography scanner. This is because CT allows us to conduct an accurate inspection of the wall thickness and check the overall structure for possible faults. Once these tests had also been successfully completely, nothing stood in the way of series production.
The marriage
In order to connect tubes and shells to the frame of the impec for extreme rigidity, the shells are first placed in a carrier system. This frame carrier is now fed into a robot workstation. The robot we use here is fitted with an optical monitoring system. It recognizes each individual component and defines the exact quantity and position of the composite adhesive to be applied.
And in order to meet quality requirements here as well, each contact point is monitored again before the tubes and shells are finally joined together for life. Firmly clamped into the carrier system, the completed frame is then cured in an oven and is then ready for the
Final quality control which is conducted using a static test process. The open design of the shell allowed for the fact that even the last stage of production of the impec frame – the bonding of the shells with the frame tubes – proceeded absolutely transparently in a controlled process.
Even from its appearance, the impec looks different from all the rest. To ensure it remains flawless, its frame is assembled from guaranteed faultless components and requires no finishing. all components are individually finished and inspected and only then released for final assembly.
The digitally controlled paintshop where the shells and frame tubes of the impec receive their high gloss finish is absolutely state-of-the-art, and the lacquering of the impec is immaculate in meeting all environmental requirements and quality provisions. The enclosed system has a very efficient wet separation arrangement, generates little overspray and works with modern lacquers that are low in solvents. Providing the perfect finish is a "hollow wrist", a particularly flexible hollow arm paint robot which lacquers the frame components of the impec in several layers using the wet-on-wet method. This process guarantees optimum adhesion between the individual layers of lacquer and therefore the best quality.
After the paintshop, the ways part once again for the half-shells and frame tubes. While the shells are only lacquered – it is their job to highlight the structural features of the frame – the frame tubes make their way to the printshop. Here they receive the final touch. Here the impec receives its branding.
First choice right from the start for the finishing graphics for the impec was the pad printing system. This print technology is the only process with fully automatic and industrial production capability for the printing of complex surfaces – such as the frame tubes of the impec. From a quality point of view, the result is comparable to lacquering. The pad printing system thus fits perfectly into the production philosophy of the impec. This process stands out from the rest in that the pads transfer the paint 100 % to the surface to be printed and the precise color printing is extremely resistant to environmental impact and scratches.
The quality we achieve with the impec is unique worldwide. it is the result of total control from the first to last stage of production. More than 60 different test parameters alone are recorded and analyzed in the manufacture of the frame tubes in the Load Specific Weave process. This results in carbon tubes that need no finishing and do not present voids or defects in the carbon structure.
This applies similarly to the production of the frame joints for the impec according to the Shell Node Concept, the lacquering of the tubes and shells, the printing and above all to the final assembly of the frame as well. Defective parts? negative. Guaranteed.
When the final stage of production is completed, each individual impec frame together with its fork is subjected to a static load test in where it has to hold its ground firm and true. The frame is subsequently measured and the report finally provides the informa- tion as to whether the frame meets the extreme quality requirements for the impec.
Random samples are also frequently taken from production which we subject to functionality tests and all have one thing in common: Even the strongest are tested to destruction. The aim of this controlled destruction is to obtain data about the maximum resilience of the impec which gives us information at the same time as to whether the entire process continues to achieve a zero-error rating. Absolutely rigorous, absolutely impec.

Valpo is a Tough Opener in Cipriano Classic
NU Opens Cipriano Classic with Valparaiso
Purchase Men's Basketball Tickets Here
By Randy York
Somewhere out there, longtime Nebraska basketball fans are smiling. The Huskers have created an innovative four-game-per-team tournament called the Joe Cipriano Nebraska Classic, and somehow, someway, we've orchestrated our own "tough draw" in Thursday's 8 p.m. opener against Valparaiso at the Devaney Center.
The late and the colorful Cipriano would find a classic line to describe "celebrating" Nebraska's last season in the Devaney Center with a tournament opener that features an opponent that returns all five starters from a 22-12 team that advanced to the National Invitation Tournament last year and is favored to repeat as champions of the Horizon League.
I can close my eyes and hear Joe Cipriano right now. "Make sure you mention that Valpo hit 26 of 48 three-pointers in their first two wins," he would say. "Let our fans know why we scheduled them first … so they can see a great shooting team that can also run and play defense."
Tim Miles is probably in no mood to be funny as he prepares for his second game as Nebraska's head coach and the first in the Cipriano Classic that will bring three more schools to the Devaney this month – Nebraska-Omaha on Sunday at 2 p.m., Tulane (Wednesday, Nov. 21 at 7 p.m.) and Kent State (at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 24, the day after the Huskers complete their regular football season at Iowa). The Athletic Department will honor the Cipriano family when the Huskers host Kent State in the final game of the Cipriano Classic.
Tickets are available in a variety of single-game, Pick 6 and entire season options.
Those Were the Days 36 Years Ago
"We've put a lot into this format to help our fans celebrate the Joe Cipriano Era and to help us all remember how great it was when the Devaney Center opened in 1976," said Marc Boehm, Nebraska's executive associate athletic director.
In 1976, Miles, Nebraska's first-year head basketball coach, was only 9-years old, but he remembers the three most popular shows on television that year – Happy Days, Laverne & Shirley and M*A*S*H. It was the same year that the Devaney Center opened, Steve Jobs sold the first Apple computer, the ink-jet printer was invented and the first VHS was released.
Miles appreciates that time in his life. While he was growing up in tiny Doland, S.D., in the 1970s, Nebraska basketball was productive, and Miles was "all in" with the opportunity to honor Cipriano, who was called "Cip" by friends, fellow coaches and countless players. Cip was one of the more memorable coaches in Nebraska basketball history and one of the most popular in the Big Eight Conference. When a game got tight, his trademark move was to bolt from the bench and take his suit coat off. That's when everyone knew it was time to rumble. Sometimes, for sheer entertainment, Cip would spin his coat around to relieve the tension. On rare occasions, he would heave that jacket right into the night's air, and the Devaney Center crowd would laugh just like they did when he did the same thing in the old Coliseum. Once, in the Coliseum, Cip grabbed a starter's gun at the official scorer's table, then pointed it in the air, ready to shoot.
Those were the days, my friend. Even though Cip served as Nebraska's head coach from 1963 to 1980, his 1976 team opened the door to the Devaney Center, and now Miles' first NU team will close it after one final season before the Huskers move to their new home at the Pinnacle Bank Arena next season.
Cipriano Classic Honors History
"We wanted to recognize some of the memorable people who played a part in the Devaney Center's history, so we seized the opportunity to host the Joe Cipriano Nebraska Classic," Boehm said. "Coach Miles and I thought naming a tournament after Coach Cipriano was a fitting way to honor our final season in an historic place for all of us. Cip's success was instrumental not only in building Nebraska basketball, but also in creating the Devaney Center."
The Joe Cipriano Nebraska Classic features seven teams – Nebraska, Kent State, Valparaiso, Tulane, Nebraska-Omaha, Bethune-Cookman and Chicago State. All seven teams will play four games from Nov. 13 to Saturday, Nov. 24.
Cipriano died of cancer just four days short of the start of season No. 18 in 1980. His Nebraska teams posted a 253-197 record and made three postseason appearances. Cip is second all-time in wins at Nebraska. He was a three-time Big Eight Coach of the Year (1967, 1978 and 1980) and his 253 wins at the time of his death were 167 more than any previous basketball head coach at Nebraska.
Cipriano coached the Huskers to a 20-5 record and a No. 11 national ranking in 1965-66, the Huskers' first winning season in 15 years and the most wins at Nebraska since 1920. That team is considered by many longtime fans to be the best in over a century of basketball at Nebraska. The following season, Cip guided NU to its first postseason appearance, becoming the first Big Eight program to play in the NIT. His 1967-68 squad won the Big Eight Holiday Tournament in Kansas City, Nebraska's only title in the event's history.
1977-78 NIT Team Finished 22-8
In the 1970s, Cipriano-coached teams finished below the .500 mark only once. His most successful Husker team was in 1977-78, which tied the school record for wins at the time with a 22-8 mark. The Huskers also reached the NIT quarterfinals that season.
Joe's son, Randy Cipriano, served as an assistant coach at Nebraska from 1982 to 1986 and has many fond memories of the Devaney Center. He says it's "fantastic" that Nebraska is naming its first in-season tournament at the Devaney Center since 2005 after his late father.
"I was pleased, and know my dad would thoroughly enjoy it," Randy Cipriano said. "I think it's a wonderful way to honor the history of Nebraska basketball, and we're proud to be associated with the event. I remember walking through the Devaney Center with my father when it was being built. I thought it was exciting to be a part of it as well as necessary to help Nebraska be successful. I'm feeling it again now as our company owns property near Pinnacle Bank Arena, and I'm able to watch the progress on the new facility while it's being built."

From Down-and-Out to Motivational Speaker
Ricky Simmons shares his life lessons with campers at Lincoln North Star.
Video: Watch Ricky Simmons Share His Story
Power of Redemption: A Big Osborne Legacy
By Randy York
Ricky Simmons just left my office with a smile, a friendly pat on the back and his traditional goodbye line: "It's time to go out and spend another day in paradise," he said, heading for a quick exit down the hallway. The second leading receiver on Nebraska's fabled 1983 Scoring Explosion team was in Tom Osborne's TeamMates office a half hour earlier with the same assurance – that he was drug-free and living every day in a precious way.
It's been more than five years since Osborne, Simmons' former head coach, inspired a cocaine addict to serve his time in prison and use the road to redemption to help others from going down that same wicked path. And that's precisely what Simmons has done – transformed his down-and-out experience into a platform of motivational speaking.
Tuesday night, Lincoln's KLKN-TV featured Simmons sharing his story with attendees at a football development camp at Lincoln North Star High School. Simmons' late parents were devout Christians, his dad a junior high school principal and his mom an elementary remedial reading teacher. He told campers straight out how he traded in his NFL football career to become a full-time drug addict. Somehow, football got in the way of his using, and then after football, it got in the way of his life.
Prison and Osborne taught Simmons to look at life from a more positive perspective. He speaks at high schools, churches, group-homes and youth organizations. Tuesday, he was on a football field again because someone who believed in him helped him change. "I owe my second life to Coach Osborne," he said. "That's why I visit him every week for a few minutes … just to let him know that I'm still on the right track."

Cadel Evans will not participate in Flèche-Wallonne on Wednesday and Liège–Bastogne–Liège on Sunday while he continues his recovery from a sinus infection, the BMC Racing Team announced Monday.
Better Recovery At Home
BMC Racing Team Chief Medical Officer Max Testa said Evans, a past winner of Flèche-Wallonne, was motivated to play a supporting role in the two races. But after withdrawing from Sunday's Amstel Gold Race, the decision was made for the defending Tour de France champion to return home to help speed his recovery. "Cadel has the Tour of Romandie coming in one week and with this infection, we don't want to take any risks," Dr. Testa said. "The weather won't be helpful – it's going to be rainy and cold here – so it was probably the best decision we could make in the interest of the health of the rider."
Plan Remains The Same
Directeur Sportif John Lelangue said Evans' absence does not affect the BMC Racing Team's approach to either race. "We still have a good field around Philippe Gilbert (who finished sixth Sunday at Amstel Gold Race) and Greg Van Avermaet to make two good Ardennes races," Lelangue said. "Cadel was coming here with the objective to help them. That was always the plan. We know his main objective is in a few months in July. Therefore he has to make a good Tour of Romandie. It will be a good test in real stage race conditions – with a time trial, prologue and mountain stages."

Swiss Manufacturing Precision
Handmade by machines in Switzerland, the impec follows the vision of BMC: A new perspective into the world of cycling.
More than a bike, a concept based on Swiss precision. Load specific woven tubes, connected with a revolutionary shell node concept make the impec a highly efficient Carbon frame, race proven in the grand tours.
Climbing is an art, mountains are your canvas
Stelvio. Col du Tourmalet. Mont Ventoux. Alpe d'Huez. Do these names stir your passions? Is your dream holiday a seven-day ride up the highest passes of the Alps or Pyrenees? Is your idea of the ideal ride one that includes grinding up long grades, or standing up to accelerate on steep pitches? If this sounds like you, you probably regard yourself as a climber. BMC's Altitude series was developed especially for you.
Gran turismo of cycling
Our Endurance series racing bikes are specifically designed to tackle one-day Classics like Paris Roubaix, arguably the toughest one-day race in the world of pro cycling. Not only does the granfondo series need to be fast over the cobble stones, to help Thor Hushovd and the rest of the BMC Racing Team, but it had to be markedly comfortable at the same time. As much as the bike needs to resist rider-created forces, it also needs to absorb road-created forces. The ultimate testing grounds to confront these conditions are the Northern Classics, where cobblestone roads call for a stable and forgiving bike, elbow-to-elbow racing, and hellishly long distances. These are also races that demand a bike that can translate every watt of power into forward momentum for spontaneous breakaways and muscle-tearing attacks on "bergs" that can reach grades of 22%. This perfectly sums our Endurance series. They are the Gran Turismos of cycling: pure race bikes that offer unparalleled comfort for long distances.
Record-breaking aero bikes
Our aero bikes will get you there faster. Period. Optimized aero shapes, system integration and huge adjustability are combined in bicycles for the perfect fit at the highest speed. Our aero bikes are built to work best when riding them to your ragged edge. They are designed to allow you to exceed your previous time trial or triathlon personal best, but while feeling comfortable and powerful in the saddle. For those with the need for speed, no other bikes come close to the BMC timemachines.

Last night I spoke at an event and had multiple people ask me about saving money at Whole Foods. Recently, I released a free ebook, Organic on a Budget and you can sign up for our Daily Newsletter to receive that. I wanted to share with you our recent news segment video and also the tips I use for shopping at Whole Foods stores.
{5 Ways to Save at Whole Foods Stores}
*The following is a part of the store coupon policy for Tulsa and Oklahoma City, if you live outside of those areas, please verify with your stores first.*
1. Insane Sales: Every week thousands of items go on sale at Whole Foods. Plan your menu around those sales items and you'll save a bundle. Our local stores offer 'Double Flyer Wednesday' which means both last week's sales flyer and this week's sales flyer are good on the same day, Wednesday. Double the savings!
2. Store Coupons: Whole Foods offers The Whole Deal Newsletter which is packed full of coupons and found both online and at the front of the store. Our local stores allow us to 'stack' the Whole Foods store coupons with manufacturers coupons too.
3. Buy in Bulk: Whole Foods offers a case discount of 10%. If you buy a case of any product in the store, you'll get that discount automatically. To buy a case, simply look at the number on the price tag in front of the product. It usually will say 6, 12 or 24. When you buy that amount of product, you'll get the discount. Combine the case discount with sales and coupons and you will have a steal of a deal!
4. The 365 Everyday Brand: This is the store brand for Whole Foods and not only is it lower in price but it also holds to the same quality standards as national brands. This means, it is comparable to the other brands in the store but won't break the bank. I've also seen Whole Foods issue coupons for these products as well.
5. Frequent Shopper Cards: Our local Whole Foods stores offer frequent shopper cards on coffee, bread and vitamins. These can be found at customer service or a cash register. For example, when you buy 5 Whole Foods Market brand breads, you'll get a 6th for free. Not a bad deal but you must pick up the punch card to get it.
A woman told me there was no way she could ever save money at Whole Foods. Well, that is simply not the case at all. You can save money when you familiarize yourself with the store policy and the smart shopping strategies.
If you live in the Tulsa area, visit our Events page and sign up for my free Whole Foods Workshop in February.

Call for Nominations for 2013 Heroes Game
Jason Parks of Aurora, Neb., was Nebraska's 2012 Hero of the Year.
Submit Nominations beginning Saturday, Sept. 21
By Randy York
Most of us know that Nebraska's 2013 Heroes Game against Iowa is Friday, Nov. 29th, but did we ever tell you that we need another real-life hero like Jason Parks, Nebraska's 2012 Hero of the Year? Parks was honored last November in Iowa City when the Huskers defeated the Hawkeyes, 13-7, in the second annual Heroes Game presented by Hy-Vee. Parks, who saved the life of a truck driver, didn't get to wave to an appreciative Nebraska sellout crowd, so he will make up for that lost opportunity Saturday when the Huskers host South Dakota State. NU's last regular-season non-conference game will serve as the official kickoff for Hy-Vee's annual Call for Nominations.
"We're glad Jason will be introduced at halftime of Saturday's game, so all of our fans can show their appreciation for his heroic act," Nebraska Assistant Athletic Director Michael Stephens said. "Jason's instincts and selflessness define the kinds of heroes we're looking for – everyday people who help others in a dire situation without hesitation."
Parks was driving to work at his family's business in Aurora, Neb., one morning when he saw two semi-trucks collide in his rear-view mirror. He doubled back to the scene of the accident, where he heard one of the drivers screaming for help from the flaming truck cab. Parks pulled the man from the wreckage and carried him to safety as the truck exploded behind them. For putting himself in danger to save the life of a complete stranger, Parks was Nebraska's No. 1 Hero of the Year choice.
"Jason definitely deserves the honor he received, but what I like most about our Heroes Game is both states having so many deserving heroes for the roles they played in very similar experiences to Jason's," Stephens said. "There are all kinds of compelling stories out there where ordinary people go above and beyond. We hope our fans tune into the Husker Sports Network pregame show about noon on Saturday, so they can hear Jason describe his experience in an interview at the Nebraska Book Store."
Besides Parks, Nebraska also congratulates 28 additional 2012 nominees for hero status, including one that was submitted in support of Tom Osborne, who presented Parks his award last November in Iowa City. Other Nebraskans who were nominated for the 2012 Heroes Award: Deann Barnard, Beatrice; Christopher Berggren, Lincoln; Lisa Buhr, Adams; James Buhr, Adams; Vicki Depenbusch, Lincoln; Dr. Harris Graves, Omaha; Laura Hickman, Omaha; Dr. Anne Hubbard, Omaha; Lynsie Jones, Omaha; Kris Kinsella, LaVista; Keith Knoop, Lincoln; Tevi Lawson, Omaha; Floyd "Sid" Mason, Columbus; Justin Matthes, Malcolm; Dr. Joseph McCaslin, Omaha; Ron Meyer, Blue Hill; Bruce Moore, Omaha; Sean Murphy, Papillion; Dr. Scott Osborne, Beatrice; Philip Peter, Blue Hill; Mikayla Savell Flott, Omaha; Tanya Shook, Omaha; Jeff Spencer, Omaha; Bethany Staffort, Omaha; Jason Vculek, Belvidere; Aaron Wattenbach, Bellevue; and Ron Wolfe, Lincoln.

Remember Judge William M. "Chip" Watkins III? He's the temperamental West Virginia jurist who was recorded on video yelling at — and we mean literally yelling at, not just "scolding" or "raising his voice at" — a pastor. In another case, Judge Watkins called a woman seeking a protective order against her husband "stupid," criticizing her for "shooting off [her] fat mouth about what happened."
Last summer, Judge Watkins was hit with expedited ethics charges. This week, the West Virginia Supreme Court issued its ruling. What do you think happened? Take a guess….

Dublin Calling: Intel Labs drives Digital Europe
0 comments post a comment
Intel's network of research labs in Europe now embraces more than 4,000 R&D professionals and has more than quadrupled in size since its formation in January 2009. The question that remains is: where is the return on investment for Intel and the benefit for Europe?
The growth, under Professor Martin Curley, director of Intel Labs Europe, has been remarkable. When ILE started it was partly a relabeling and opening up of the closed research Intel already had in Europe. In 2009 Intel had about 850 researchers and the formation of (ILE) was also partly to do with a high-level engagement with the Europe Union, which had missed its 2010 goals for fostering progress towards a knowledge-based society.
Professor Martin Curley, Intel vice president and director of Intel Labs Europe
At that time the EU reset its information technology goals for 2020 and asked Intel to step up and help out, like a good European citizen. ILE, which calls its research agenda Digital Europe, is now characterized by the numbers 40, 400 and 4,000.
ILE has more than 40 research locations with labs in most countries of Europe; 400 collaborations with local universities and companies and more than 4,000 R&D professionals employed. This puts Intel's R&D in Europe on a similar footing to its manufacturing effort here.
Intel never revealed what its European R&D budget was back in 2009 and Professor Curley was reluctant to discuss it for 2012 or 2013. But he admitted that calculations could be done of the typical employment loading of professionals on a company and multiplied up.
"It's greater than 100 million euros (greater than about $140 million) per year," said Professor Curley during a press tour to Leixlip, near Dublin, timed to coincide with the start of Ireland's presidency of the European Union. Even that seems a modest bill for 4,000 professionals, although not necessarily all are on Intel's payroll.
"The idea was always that the formation of the labs would create a network effect, a synergy," Professor Curley told the visiting press. "We are looking at demand-side innovation, usage models."

It was plaintive the way that Jabbar Amin Jabbar, chairman of the provincial council in the Iraqi city of Basra, pulled up old photographs of the Shatt al Arab on his computer. More than anything else, it is this waterway that shapes this port city in southern Iraq.
Unnaturally colored postcards from the 1960s and 70s showed a pristine waterway – an economic and cultural lifeline in the blazing desert – that no longer exists today.
"They were so beautiful," he said of the cafes and parks along Basra's Corniche.
That sense of an irretrievable past makes the environmental and economic disaster facing the Shatt al Arab all the more poignant.
This river, formed by convergence of the Tigris and Euphrates, has been the contested border between the Arab world and Persia for centuries. It was the front line of the war between Iran and Iraq in the 1980s, and as I note in an article in The Times, the devastation of that war remains evident in the shattered buildings along its banks and the rusting, half-sunken wrecks of ships.

According to the complaint, mailed Nov. 30, "We believe that the majority of this Board's problems stem from a lack of psychological preparedness on the part of these public officials to work in a cooperative, harmonious and respectful environment, both among themselves and, of special note, toward other stakeholders. Further, as other evidence shall establish, too many of them tend to micromanage the personnel of their little fiefdom and revel in their perceived power plays rather than focusing their attention on higher priority administrative tasks.
"They seem to have forgotten that the people elected public servants, not feudal lords. Sadly, this seems to be allowed by the Superintendent even though none seem able to exhibit any degree of skill in properly managing the most valuable asset of the system, its employees, which is not a function of their office. Their ability to comprehensively read the English language is also in serious question."
The complaint alleges the board has failed to comply with system policy and local and state law in the appointment of Anna Sullivan to the Post 5 seat before holding a special election. It also cites board members Angie Cornett and John Howard and text messages regarding personnel matters posted on the website www.bartowforabetterboe, which have yet to be contested by board members.
The citizens' complaint questions whether Superintendent John Harper was influenced by Cornett and Howard on a personnel decision and also calls for an ethics probe of Cornett.
The first complaint was filed this summer by a number of community members as well as board member Wanda Cagle Gray, who will leave her Post 4 seat in January to the newly elected Fred Kittle. After receiving a response letter from Harper, the organization stated it found no reason to conduct an investigation, but said the board should act in a "spirit of harmony."
In November, The Daily Tribune News conducted a Q&A with AdvancED President and CEO Mark Elgart regarding various scenarios of the investigation process:
At what point does SACS feel it is necessary to conduct an investigation after a formal complaint has been made?
A: Complaints are reviewed to determine if there is a possible violation of Accreditation Standards. If this appears a possibility, AdvancED/SACS sends a letter to the superintendent asking for a response to the complaints and possible violations of the standards. Depending on the response from the superintendent and other evidence available, a determination is made whether an investigation is needed.
What does a typical investigation include?
A: When AdvancED conducts a Special Review visit, in general, the team interviews the board of education members, the superintendent, senior staff, as well as representatives from the schools and the community. The team also reviews documents and evidence related to the complaints being investigated.
At what point in the year does a school system typically renew or lose its SACS accreditation and when does the renewal or loss of accreditation become official?
A: Schools and school systems are accredited for a five-year term. Generally the commission meets in January and June.
If a school system is to lose its SACS accreditation, what does this mean for students in terms of their access to local and accredited schools? Also, what does losing the accreditation mean for students approaching graduation and looking at attending a school within the University System of Georgia or the Technical College System of Georgia?
A: First and foremost, loss of accreditation is a long road. Institutions are given time to comply with any required actions to meet the Standards for Accreditation. Most institutions that face difficulties in meeting the requirements of accreditation quickly seek help and address the needed changes proactively. The loss of accreditation does make it more difficult for students to transfer credits seamlessly. Additionally, there are some colleges and universities, as well as scholarships, financial aid and military programs that require students to come from an accredited institution. Students still have choices, but it is imperative that they understand the application and admission requirements.
What would you consider to be the far-reaching repercussions of a system losing accreditation (i.e., have you witnessed communities losing jobs and businesses due to losing accreditation)?
A: In 2008, Clayton County School System lost its accreditation. This was the first school system in 40 years. Clayton County community members have shared that in addition to a loss of students to the school system, local businesses and the economy were affected.
Does SACS have the power to remove school board members?
A: No.
Can you explain the role of a SACS state chairman?
A: In each of our states and regions, we have a council that supports the state office staff. The council provides support for professional development activities sponsored by the state office, the council provides feedback to the state staff regarding activities and initiatives, and the council reviews all accreditation activities within the state before reports and accreditation recommendations are sent to the Accreditation Commission. The council chair presides over the council meetings.
[Board Chairman Davis Nelson also serves as Georgia's SACS state chairman.]
And, finally, could you explain what you deem a "spirit of harmony" in regard to board operations? And at what point would you determine a board is not following a "spirit of harmony"?
A: As part of the AdvancED Standards, Standard 2: Governance and Leadership:
"The governing body operates responsibly and functions effectively.This includes collaboratively making decisions in the best interest of the school system and working together in a collegial group to support student achievement. A board absent of professionalism and in constant strife will struggle to meet the requirements of a responsible and effectively functioning board. Thus, a spirit of harmony reflects a positive culture and commitment to do what is in the best interest of all students."
