How the Internet of Things Now Drives Location Technology
The number of devices connecting to the Internet is growing fast. The applications running on them require location context to determine the most likely use case. These devices need continuous location — not necessarily noticed or activated by the user, but always on. The specification that becomes important is energy per day: the device must maintain its location without draining its battery — and increase location availability indoors. That creates new design requirements for hybrid capability. Read more»

editor's review
With the help of SysTool you can view hardware information and tweak some settings to your machine, such as overclocking it. The tool does not contain many advanced settings, so it can be used with ease by enthusiasts.
The interface is based on a regular window with a well-organized layout, where you can select your motherboard from a drop-down list and check out available sensors, as well as select the monitoring plugins you want to apply. Plus, you can specify the refresh rate.
In addition, you can customize enhanced Intel SpeedStep, enable acoustic HDD management and set the ratio between minimum noise and maximum performance, select AMD64 Cool&Quiet and memory timings (e.g. drive strength, CAS latency), as well as establish the memory timings for i875/i865/i848, i855GM, i855PM or i915/i925/i955.
Other options of SysTool let you activate CPU, ATI and NVIDIA overclocking, run a benchmark on the CPU, memory, hard disk and network, send Wake-On-LAN signals to remote computers, as well as view and copy log details.
The application is very light on the system resources, running on a low amount of CPU and RAM. It has a good response time and doesn't cause Windows to hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. All in all, users who want to tweak hardware settings are free to try out SysTool.

Which TV mom do you like and why? Would you trade places with her for a day?
The choices in the poll are nostalgic but feel free to pick "other" and go with someone more recent.
Which TV mom do you like and why? Would you trade places with her for a day?
The choices in the poll are nostalgic but feel free to pick "other" and go with someone more recent.
If you say "Other" you have to say who
I went with Claire. She was no-nonsense and had a good sense of humor plus she managed all those kids plus a career and good marriage.
The mom from Home Improvement
Shari - Yarden 6/22/09,Carmel 11/22/11, Dvir 11/11/12
I almost chose Claire Huxtable, she was one amazing mom. However, I was recently re-reading the Little House on the Prairie series and it got me thinking about the show. So, while not only a TV mom, she existed in real life and was, by all accounts, a good mother, I like the way she was portrayed on the show: a good mother, a good wife, a hard worker, etc.
Marigold - I almost put Ma Ingalls - but I couldn't remember her first name. What was it? Caroline maybe? I like how you put your reasons for picking her.
the mom from malcom in the middle :0)
Raquel 4/3/98, Oliver 6/2/09, Zoey 7/6/10, Russell 12/01/11, Owen 01/11/13
The mom from Still Standing. That show didn't last long but there are always reruns. Maybe that isn't a good thing but to me she is better than Roseanne, lol. Ok, I want to be better than that but take some of her and some of June Cleaver and that is who I want to be.
Jackson "JT" born 6/15/09
Mrs. Ingalls' name was Caroline. Laura Ingalls portrayed her her mother similarly in the "Little House" series. A strong yet gentle woman, wife and mother.
I choose Samantha Stevens from Bewitched because she could just twitch her nose and have the house clean and dinner on the table!
The difference between a Wife and a Girlfriend is 45 pounds...The difference between a Husband and a Boyfriend is 45 minutes! ~ Unknown
For sure it's Lois from malcolm in the middle! With 4 kids and three of them boys.......unfortunately I think I sound like her most of the time!!!!!HA!!!

Rapp houses at Old Economy closed for renovations
The George and Frederick Rapp houses at Old Economy Village have been closed for renovations, and are scheduled to re-open in July 2013. The houses, built in the 1820s, served as a home for leaders of the Harmony Society, a German communal group that broke away from Lutherans. The Rapp houses are part of the 14 original Harmonist buildings at the village, a National Historic Landmark in Ambridge, Beaver County. The state has provided the $1.2 million in funds for local architecture firm Perfido Weiskopf Wagstaff + Goettel to renovate the houses, which were last restored in 1962. The renovations include repairing plaster walls and ceilings, upgrading the electricity and painting the woodwork. Details: 724-266-4500 or www.oldeconomyvillage.org

Handling money is something we all have to learn to do in order to survive. And the basic concept of budgeting - spend less than you make - seems so, well, basic that we fail to look closely enough at how budgeting can help us handle our finances well. If you think you know everything there is to know about setting, maintaining and succeeding with a budget, think again. These tips are less obvious, running counter to our commonly held intuitions about money.
TUTORIAL: Budgeting Basics
1. Indulge in what matters to you.
Quick: what's the first thing you do when you start making a budget? Usually it's make a list of your expenses, add them all up, grimace painfully at the total amount, and then start figuring out which expenses you can eliminate. There's no point in spending money on things you don't want or need. However, common budgeting technique often has you cutting out absolutely anything that could fall into an "optional" category. The $5 latte from the coffee shop is a favorite example; cut that daily or biweekly or weekly expense out, budgeting experts say, and you'll save X dollars per year for your savings account! (For related reading, see How Budgeting Works For Companies.)
The problem is that cutting out every optional expense may lead you to meet a new and bigger foe to your budget: the feeling of deprivation. It's the same concept that makes you want to cheat on your diet, even though you really do want to fit into your skinny jeans again. You start a diet, or a budget, and cut out all the eating or spending you enjoy (but don't necessarily need), and soon all you can think about is what you can't have.
Do go ahead and make your list of expenses, and definitely get rid of the optional things that don't add value or enjoyment to your life. But don't just get rid of the optional stuff that you do really value; instead, make it part of your budget, even if it seems like a luxury. You're much more likely to stick with a budget that allows you the little luxuries you do enjoy than one which leaves you feeling continually deprived.
2. Don't automatically choose the cheapest option.
Choosing the cheapest option, whether it's for food or a car or clothes or a vacation, will certainly save you money in the present. But spending a little less for the cheapest choice isn't always smart. The old adage of "you get what you pay for" should be echoing through your memory right about now, and that's the point. When you always get the cheapest option, you end up with lower quality items.
In some cases, it doesn't really matter: disposable items, or name-brand versus big-brand. You can't always tell the difference beyond the packaging. But sometimes if you save a few dollars on the initial purchase but end up with a much lower quality item, you'll end up having to spend more to maintain it and then spend again, sooner, to replace it because it won't last as long as the higher quality option. (It appears that the overwhelming majority of Americans do not have or correctly use a personal budget. For more, see The Beauty Of Budgeting.)
3. Skip the coupons.
If you've watched an episode or two of "Extreme Couponing," you may have visions of free groceries dancing in your head. And what could be better for the budget? If you can save all that money on groceries and household supplies, you'll have more money for paying off debt, saving or, um, indulging in that latte.
However, coupons aren't always a boon to your budget. In fact, many of us end up clipping coupons for stuff we wouldn't normally buy, and then spending our money on grocery and household items we really don't need just because we happen to have a coupon handy. It's tempting, and you feel good about your purchase because you just saved $1 off the normal price! But wouldn't it be better to save the total price by not buying that item at all?
4. Increase your income rather than simply decreasing your spending.
Cut costs, reduce spending, limit expenses; however you word it, this concept is unavoidable in most budgeting methods. Instead of focusing only on spending less, try putting your attention on making more. You can pick up a part-time job, sell your excess stuff, consult, start freelancing or find another way to turn your talents and a little extra time into some additional income. In fact, once you get to a certain point in the reducing-expenses exercise, you'll find that it's actually easier to make more than to spend less. (For more, see Debunking 10 Budget Myths.)
5. Spend money on maintenance.
When you're concerned about your bank account, the last thing you want to do is spend money that doesn't have to be spent. So you skip certain, non-urgent things, things like getting the oil changed, getting the chimney cleaned, getting your sore tooth checked out.
And you are saving money - until the car's engine locks up because it ran out of oil, or the chimney catches on fire because of the soot build-up, or you end up having to pay for a root canal because you didn't get that cavity taken care of soon enough. Take care of maintenance before the need is urgent, and you're almost certain to spend less than you'll have to if you wait until it becomes a crisis.
TUTORIAL: Setting Up A Budget
6. Don't panic about your non-existent savings account.
You need and want to save money. And every financial expert has told you that you should be saving money. Meanwhile, you're paying off a car loan, a house mortgage, a student loan and a couple of credit cards, plus trying to avoid more debt with the costs of daily life. But every now and then you wake up in a state of panic, with one thought beating in your budget-weary brain: "I've got to start saving! I've got to start saving! I've got to start saving!"
Having a hefty savings account will be a great feeling once you get there. In the meantime, however, take a deep breath and calm down. If you take money away from paying off an interest-bearing debt in order to put it in a savings account, you'll likely be losing money because that debt will keep accumulating interest at a much higher rate that your savings account will. Focus on paying off the debt as fast as you can, which will save you hundreds of dollars in interest. Then focus on building up your savings. (For more, see 8 Financial Tips For Young Adults.)
The Bottom Line
We tend to be kind of private about our money, but there's one last tip that might help you reach your financial goals more than all the other tips put together: talk about your budget. Tell your friends. Tell your family. Go public. Why? Research shows that people who talk to friends about what they want to accomplish and set up some sort of accountability system are 33% more likely to reach their goals. And if your goal is to set a good budget and stick to it, you might as well get all the help you can get. (For related reading, see Budgeting While You're In College.)

Toward a
Post-Cold War Order
The United States and the Soviet Union, bedeviled by Cold War-induced economic problems, independent-minded allies, and contentious Third World nations, gradually moved in fits of truculence and accommodation toward détente and the ultimate end of the Cold War. By the late 1960s, remembered Henry Kissinger, America had to operate "in much more complex conditions than we had ever before faced." That time "marked the end of the period of American predominance based on overwhelming nuclear and economic supremacy." Indeed, he continued, "the Soviet nuclear stockpile was inevitably approaching parity. The economic strength of Europe and Japan was bound to lead them to seek larger political influence. The new, developing nations pressed their claims to greater power and participation." If the world further "tilted against us," he

Ten Underrated Things About Houston (For Now)
Photo by Rpclod
Change is what Houston's all about these days. Last year's deserted Downtown is this year's Downtown Living Initiative. We never take what makes this place special for granted, so we took a look at a few things about Houston culture that make us happy to live here.
10. Westheimer Road If you're new here, or maybe just terrible with directions, Westheimer becomes the default artery for getting around town, especially during a freeway traffic crush. In some ways, it's a pathway through all the socioeconomic levels of Houston from over-the-counter pharmaceuticals to lap dances.

8. The Beach Okay, so you won't get Caribbean-quality waters here, but we think it's pretty cool that we're less than an hour from the beach.
Photo by Camilo Smith
7. Car culture People will do any and everything with their automobiles, from the most fabulous to the most WTF-were-they-thinking. It's a fun surprise.
Photo by Camilo Smith Photo by Camilo Smith
4. NASA Becoming an astronaut might be a pipe dream for most, but living here in Space City, you can become a regular visitor to Space Center Houston, and you know, reconnect with those dreams.
3. Diversity It's safe to say you can meet someone from anywhere in the world by stepping onto the streets of Houston. There are healthy-size communities here from African, Asian and Latin American countries, among so many others. The best part is that all the various groups brought their food to share.
2. Nonstop flights to anywhere Unfortunately, this is one of the things that make Houston a magnet for human trafficking, too. It's pretty easy to go from here to anywhere in the world, by plane or car.
1. Art scene This is no surprise to art aficionados here, but to the casual art consumer, Houston packs a boatload of offerings, from street art to indie film, and from fine art to opera and Broadway theater.

Unlike many B&B's today, your mornings begin with a hot, gourmet breakfast served in the spectacular dining room. (Think Eggs Benedict, Bananas Foster, fresh fruit, fresh squeezed juice, etc… served on 19th century china) Hosts, Doug and Don, have anticipated every need for their guests and will provide excellent recommendations on places to eat and shop along with a list of other sites you won't want to miss. If that weren't enough, the history and furnishings of the Oak Hill Inn are second to none in Natchez. As we departed, it really felt as though we had just spent a lazy weekend visiting friends.

Well, after a few thoughts, I remembered my iPhone's headphones were still in their box, so I sacrificed them :
by curiosity I cut the Apple monitors in half, the cable makes a knot inside it, so I cut the cable a little before to get a not twisted cable end
dismounted the Phonak monitors :
- the silver part is glued on the black body, I found no way other than lifting it and breaking it in parts
- two screws maintain the two plastic parts of the body
- carefuly opened the body, removed the system (sorry my poor english, I'm french)
- took a photo of each monitor to remember which cable (signal and ground) is soldered to what contact point
- removed the original cables with my soldering iron
preparation of the iPhone cable :
- sliding the rubber part of the Phonak monitor on the iPhone cables
- cuting the white rubber tubing to let enough copper cable
soldering the new cable on the monitors
- putting a small drop of solder on each contact of the monitors
- soldered the cables
put everything back
- placing the monitor system in the black body and the cable in its place with the black rubber end of the Phonak monitors
- closing the body parts and screwing them
plugged on my computer, the sound is back and always great ! 8-)

On the bottom of the page it still says 2013 which was shortly after when they announced the news... the news was quite sudden at the time so I guess they ended up with immense inventory of the Audeo IEM's left.... since they're still selling them well into 2015.
The Main Phonak web site (not the audeo website but the parent company's site) does not have Audeo section under its product line any longer but still has them listed under support section, so I don't think they're back in business/production or anything, just selling whatever's left over and providing support.

"Our Outperform rating is predicated on the view that gross margin will improve as the mix of BB10 devices ramps and the existing BB7 portfolio (negative gross margin) declines," Um comments. "We note that BlackBerry shares have generally trended in the direction of gross margin. We believe enterprise service revenue (52% of BlackBerry's service revenue) will not be impacted materially until FY2015 given the timing of the release of the BES 10 service pack and we have already modeled the potential impact to consumer service revenue."
He continued, "We recognize the challenges BlackBerry faces as well as the unknowns (lack of business model transparency, long-lived market acceptance, business model transitions that make modeling challenging, and competition), and there is likely to be more volatility around BBRY shares, but ultimately believe the valuation does not fit the current potential window of opportunity. While it may very well turn out that demand for BlackBerry 10 is limited, we believe the valuation already discounts some level of failure and think the risk/reward at this juncture of the BlackBerry 10 cycle is attractive."
The firm raised FQ4 FY2013 EPS/revenue to ($0.23)/$3.0bn from ($0.38)/$2.9bn (Street: ($0.29)/$2.9bn) and raise FY2014 EPS/revenue to ($0.22)/$12.7bn from ($1.44).$10.9bn (Street: ($0.57)/$12.7bn).

I. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to an object detection method and apparatus and, more particularly, to such an apparatus and method for use with an automotive vehicle.
II. Description of Related Art
There are many previously known patents in which one or more sensors are mounted to an automotive vehicle. These sensors generate sequential sensor pulses and, likewise, detect the reflection or echo of the pulse from a near object. Typically, the sensors are ultrasonic sensors.
Such sensors are particularly useful in automotive applications for assisting in parking of the automotive vehicle. For example, in previously known systems, ultrasonic sensors generate ultrasonic pulses laterally outwardly from both sides of the car. Any stationary object, such as a parked car, reflects the ultrasonic pulse back to the sensor from the closest perpendicular surface of the object. Consequently, the elapsed time between the transmission of each electronic pulse and the receipt of its reflection or echo from the stationary object directly corresponds to the distance between the motor vehicle and the closest perpendicular surface on the stationary object. In automotive parking assist systems the system provides the appropriate signal or alarm to the occupant of the motor vehicle of the distance between the motor vehicle and the stationary object.
One disadvantage of these previously known systems, however, is that, while such systems perform satisfactorily when the reflective surface of the stationary object is both aligned with and normal to the direction or axis of the sensor pulse, such systems suffer from inherent errors where the reflective surface of the stationary object is a curved surface with respect to the direction of the sensor pulse.
For example, when the direction of the reflection from the stationary object is significantly offset from the direction of the sensor axis, the distance between the sensor and the object is less than the distance calculated solely as a function of the elapsed time between the sensor pulse and receipt of its echo. Consequently, in order to protect the vehicle from collision with the stationary object, it has been the previous practice for such systems to include extra distance between the distance calculated from the elapsed time between the sensor pulse and receipt of its echo and the stationary object as a safety factor. This, however, disadvantageously limits the use of such systems in a cramped or close environment.
A still further disadvantage of these previously known systems is that in some cases the strength of the reflection from the perpendicular surface on the stationary object which is offset from the sensor axis may not be strong enough to exceed the threshold of the sensor. This, in turn, results in inaccuracies of the distance calculation between the stationary object and the sensor.
The present invention provides both a method and apparatus for determining the position of an object relative to a moving vehicle which overcomes all of the above-mentioned disadvantages of the previously known devices.
In brief, while the vehicle is moving in a first direction, a vehicle sensor transmits successive sensor pulses from the vehicle toward any stationary objects that may be present. Preferably, the sensor pulses comprise ultrasonic pulses and are transmitted laterally outwardly from the vehicle and thus generally perpendicular to the direction of travel of the vehicle.
Following the transmission of each sensor pulse toward a near object, the sensor receives an echo or reflection of the sensor pulse from the nearest perpendicular surface on the object and then determines the elapsed time between the transmission of the sensor pulse and the receipt of its echo by the sensor, i.e. the sensor pulse transit time. This transit time is stored in digital memory.
After the transit time from at least two sequential sensor pulses has been determined, an angle factor is then computed by the system equal to the difference between the elapsed time of the two sequential sensor pulses divided by the distance traveled by the vehicle between those two sequential sensor pulses. Whenever that angle factor exceeds a predefined threshold, indicative that the angle between the echo reflection and the sensor axis is relatively large, the system selects an angle from a predefined lookup table contained in memory as a function of the angle factor. Conversely, when the angle factor is less than that predefined threshold, the system computes the angle as a function of the arcsine of the angle factor.
After the angle is determined, either from the lookup table or through calculation of the arcsine, the system then calculates the distance between the sensor and the object as a function of the angle and the transit time of the sensor pulse. This calculation is then conveyed to the vehicle occupant through any appropriate signal, such as an audible signal, visual display and/or the like.
The radius of curvature of the object may be optionally calculated by measuring sequential points along the object relative to the sensor. The radius of curvature may then be conveyed to the vehicle occupant as desired, e.g. by displaying the object on a display screen.
If even further greater accuracy for determining the distance between the sensor and the stationary object is desired, an error term may be calculated as a function of the difference between the angle between the sensor axis and the echo axis for two sequential measurements.
A better understanding of the present invention will be had upon reference to the following detailed description when read in conjunction with the accompanying drawing, wherein like reference characters refer to like parts throughout the several views, and in which:
With reference first to
With reference now to
With reference now to
When the sensor is at position A, the sensor generates a sensor pulse. This pulse is then reflected by the nearest perpendicular surface A′ on the object 42 and the reflected echo travels back along axis 44 to the sensor at point A. The transit time dn between the transmission of the sensor pulse while the sensor is at position A and the reflected echo from surface A′ is proportional to the distance between point A′, the stationary object 42 and the sensor 24.
The transit time only gives the distance dn. Our aim is to calculate the angle φn so that the location of the reflection point A′ can be determined. As the vehicle 20, and thus the sensor 24, travels in the positive X direction to position B, the sensor 24 generates another sensor pulse toward the object 42. That sensor pulse is reflected from the nearest perpendicular surface B′ on the stationary object 42 back to the sensor at position B. The transit time for this second pulse is proportional to the distance dn+1. Similarly, as the vehicle and sensor continue to travel along the vehicle path, the sensor 24 generates further sensor pulses at positions C and D which likewise result in transit times for the distances dn+2 and dn+3, respectively. Furthermore, the distance traveled by the sensor between points A and B is represented as ln while the distance between points B and C is represented as ln+1 and, similarly, ln+2 for the distance between points C and D. The distances ln, ln+1, etc. are determined from any conventional vehicle sensor 43 (
Once the elapsed time for the sensor pulse between two sequential sensor pulses has been measured, it is possible to determine or at least approximate the value of φ in accordance with the following formula:
Consequently, once the value of φn is calculated and the transit time or distance dn previously determined, it is straightforward to calculate the actual distance between the vehicle and the surface A′ of the stationary object 42, i.e. the Y distance between the surface A′ on the stationary object 42 and the vehicle, using conventional trigonometry.
As the angle φn increases, and consequently, the fraction dn−dn+1/ln increases, past a certain threshold, the accuracy of the calculation of the position of the surface 44 of the stationary object 42 becomes less reliable for a number of reasons. For example, the strength of the sensor pulses at greater angles of φ are more than sensor pulses that are reflected perpendicularly back to the sensor so that the reflection from the nearest perpendicular surface of the stationary object 42 at a relatively large angle φ may be below the sensitivity threshold of the sensor. This, in turn, will result in error in the calculations for the position of the surface 44 of the stationary object 42.
Consequently, whenever the absolute value of the angle factor
exceeds a preset value, e.g. 0.54, increased accuracy for the overall system is obtained by selecting the value of φ from a predefined lookup table contained in memory 38 (
(dn − dn + 1)/ln
By utilizing the values of φ from the lookup table that are predefined and stored in the computer memory 38 (
exceeds a threshold, e.g. 0.54, increased accuracy of the position of the object surface 44 may be obtained. In this regard, see
It will be understood, of course, that the precise value of the angle factor used as the threshold to select φ from the table lookup will vary from one vehicle to another, from one sensor to another and that the value of 0.54 is utilized for exemplary purposes only. Preferably, the value of the threshold of the angle factor to select φ from the lookup table is determined empirically.
In the case where the value of the angle factor is above the predetermined threshold, e.g. 0.54, but in between two values contained in the lookup table, the value of φ is determined by interpolation between those two values in the lookup table.
After the angle is determined either by calculation or by using the lookup table, the distance between the sensor 24 and object is calculated and the appropriate signal is provided to the laser on the signal device 40 (
With reference now to
At step 104, the microprocessor determines the distance dn between the sensor and the perpendicular surface from an object. Since the distance dn is directly proportional to the transit time of the first pulse N, it is not necessary to actually calculate the distance dn between the sensor and the stationary object. Instead, the transit time of the first pulse N may be used as representative of the distance dn. Step 104 then continues to step 106.
At step 106, the system transmits a second pulse N+1. Step 106 then proceeds to step 108 where the distance dn+1 is determined from the transit time of the second pulse N+1. Step 108 then proceeds to step 110.
At step 110, the angle factor f is calculated in accordance with Equation 1. Step 110 then proceeds to step 112.
At step 112, the absolute value of the angle factor f is compared with a preset threshold. If the absolute value of the angle factor f is greater than the threshold, step 112 branches to step 114 where the angle φn is determined either directly from the lookup table or by interpolation of the lookup table. Step 114 then proceeds to step 118.
Conversely, if the absolute value of the angle factor f is less than the threshold, step 112 instead proceeds to step 116 where the angle φn is determined as a function of the arcsine of the angle factor f. Step 116 then proceeds to step 118.
At step 118, the position of the object, and thus the distance between the sensor and the object, is calculated as a function of φn which is determined either from the lookup table at step 114 or calculated at step 116. Step 118 then proceeds to step 120 where the processor 36 generates the appropriate signal to the signal device 40 for use by the user of the system. Step 120 then proceeds to step 122.
At step 122, the system replaces the value dn with the value dn+1. Step 122 then branches back to step 106 where the above process is iteratively repeated.
In some situations, it is desirable to measure the radius of curvature of the stationary object 42. Using conventional trigonometry equations, the value of the radius of curvature may be determined by the following equation:
In some situations, the precise measurement of the position of the curved surface is less accurate than desirable. For example when the stationary object has a very small radius of curvature, the sensor measurement frequency is slow or the sensor moving speed is fast, the calculation of the sine of φ for each point may be enhanced by including an error term as shown by Equation 3 below:
Once the sine of φ is determined, the value of φ can be determined by taking the arcsine of this value.
From the foregoing, it can be seen that the present invention provides both a method and apparatus for determining the position of an object relative to a moving vehicle which enjoys enhanced accuracy over previously known systems. Having described my invention, however, many modifications thereto will become apparent to those skilled in the art to which it pertains without deviation from the spirit of the invention as defined by the scope of the appended claims.

A former women's basketball star at a Catholic university then becomes a high school softball coach? I'll have to double check to make sure I got all of my stereotypes correct, but that sounds to me like a recipe for lesbian sex with an underage player.
Raenna Jewell, who was a 1000-point scorer at Gonzaga, was arrested last week on charges she had sex with a 16-year old player on the freshman softball team. As seems to be par for the course these days, she allegedly texted the girl inappropriate images. Rest assured, your humble blogger did his due diligence in finding evidence of said inappropriate pictures. That is, until I saw what Ms. Jewell looked like.
This is the second coach at the school to be arrested for sex with their players in the past two months. So, you know, if you've got a daughter in Arizona, you might not want to push her into sports.
The relationship between Jewell, 25, and the student at Apache Junction (Arizona) HS began in December, but was kept under wraps until the girl's mother found suspicious text message on her phone. No word on whether those suspicious texts were the same ones as the inappropriate images mentioned above, but if so, that would have made for an awkward family dinner.
Jewell, who also coached basketball at the school, is charged with sexual conduct with a minor and luring a minor for sexual exploitation. She's being held on $750,000 bail, which seems like an awful lot for a state that let Charley Barkley off with a slap on the wrist. Interestingly, Jewell quit her job just nine days before her arrest, which means there's more here than meets the eye.
And what is in the water at Apache Junction High School? Two months ago, a male coach of the girl's basketball team was arrested for carrying on a relationship with a 17-year-old player. I know Arizona's known for its beautiful women, but at least wait til they enroll at ASU.

I don't know as much about the commercial fantasy art as some folks; I'm
kind of behind the times. I'm taking that stuff as a given, though, and
wondering more about what is out there in terms of non-mass-market

It is essential to find a unique selling point to market a destination, Ken Kelling, communications director for Visit London, tells Communicate magazine, Part II.
January 7, 2010 8:44 by Sam Potter
Click here to read Part I.
So is the main issue for marketing destinations nowadays safety?
Yes. We've done research on this, and you tend to find people have very different mindsets, ranging from someone who says it "absolutely does not make a blind bit of difference to the way that I approach life. Life is a risk and the whole world is a risk and I'm going to carry on doing what I do," right through to another set of people at the other end who may well be put off by going to a specific place because of something that has happened there. So you have to deal with different mindsets all the time.
For me the solution is about projecting confidence. In London's case the idea of life continuing as normal, business as usual. You have to have very confident messages and I think a lot of confident messages come from events, seeing crowds of people going about life as normal. After the bombings in July 2005, for example, there was a very specific program to, in September of that year, put a large number of events together where a large volume of people were going to be seen in central London. And once you've got that up and running, you've got something that's a counter projection to what those earlier images were. It's about life going on as normal. And I think you also have to lose a bit of the corporate-ness, you have to talk in very human terms. So when we're doing interviews around that particular subject I always talk very personally about what I'm doing, because when you're at a distance from something like that, all you ever see is the media images. You don't really hear about real life, you don't hear about everyday life, and you don't hear about thing's continuing. Part of our job is to get that across.

People still think that Dubai is a country, if you asked them where UAE was they would'nt know
UAE should market the Country as well instead of just the cities, like Visitbritain.com does.

New Jersey nets another loss
In an NBA neighborhood rivalry, Carmelo Anthony had his second straight 39-point game to lead the New York Knicks to victory over the New Jersey Nets Wednesday night.
