Back-to-school sales have begun, and if you shop carefully, you can score some great deals. Follow these back-to-school tips during the months of July and August and send your kids back to school savvy style.
• Pay attention to the sales all week. Some stores have mid-week sales and many will place advertisements in the paper during the week. Watch those sales flyers carefully and snag ad coupons and discounts on office supplies, snacks and clothing. Publix recently ran a small insert with a $5 off $30 purchase in the Wednesday paper, which is not their normal advertising day.
Many people were disappointed they missed it because they do not get the paper on a regular basis. I highly recommend subscribing to the daily paper to make sure you don't miss out on deals throughout the week. You can subscribe at savannahnow.com or contact me at email@example.com, and I can help you sign up.
• Check every page of the paper. Look through every page of the Savannah Morning News for potential savings. Some stores run special ads throughout the paper and some even offer coupons.
• Research prices at several stores before purchasing items. My little buddy Zach Gerald is 11 years old, and he already knows how important it is to be a Savvy Shopper. He recently got some money for his birthday and wanted to buy a pair of Nikes; he went online and searched several stores until he found the best price. Do this with anything you are purchasing. If you have a smart phone and you are out shopping, comparison shop on your phone before making your purchase.
• Be savvy when shopping online. I encourage everyone to shop local to support local businesses and to keep the sales tax in our community. But there will still be times when some of us will need to purchase items online to get the best deal or to get a size that has sold out in the store.
If you are shopping online, be sure to search for coupon codes at couponmountain.com and go through a cash back site like ebates.com where you are rewarded with a percentage of your purchases back in the form of a check.
Be sure to consider shipping costs before purchasing anything because any savings can be eaten up with shipping costs. You can save on shipping costs at some stores by having the item shipped directly to the store for pick up.
• Facebook offers some great deals. "Like" your favorite stores on Facebook and visit them often to check for sales and promotions.
Some stores such as Old Navy, American Eagle, Hollister and Charlotte Russe post coupons on their pages. Be sure to check the pages each time you go shopping. Facebook is limiting the number of users a post will reach unless the page pays to reach more fans.
You don't want to miss out on a great deal because you weren't one of the few chosen to get the post in your news feed. Also be sure to "like" your favorite brands of popular office supplies. As I wrote this article, I scored a coupon for $1 off a $5 Crayola purchase.
• Print those Internet printable coupons immediately. If you see a coupon that you know you will use, don't wait to print it. Coupons have set print limits and once the number of prints has been reached, the coupon will no longer be available. Popular coupons on office supplies go fast.
• Check the Savvy Shopper page daily for deals and coupons. When I find a great deal or printable coupon, I post it to the Savvy Shopper Facebook page. Some of the other savvy shoppers post their great finds, too. Visit the page daily at facebook.com/
savannahsavvyshopper. It may not show up in your news feed so you may have to manually type in the web address.
• Price match when necessary. If you don't have time to visit several stores, price match at Walmart, Target or Freds. This also comes in handy when the store is out of an item and you don't want to wait for a rain check. Keep in mind that if the ad limits quantities the stores usually do too.
Walmart will price match store brand items with their own store brand. Recently I needed to take water with us on a family vacation. I found a 24-pack of water on sale at Walgreens for $1.99, but they were out. I didn't have time to wait for the supply to come in before vacation so I went to Walmart and scored Great Value 24-pack of water for $1.99.
• Ask for a rain check. Most stores will give you a rain check if they are out of a sale item. Look at the fine print in the ad and make sure it doesn't specify "limited quantities or no rain checks."
• Don't give up if they don't have the size you need. If you find a really great bargain on those school uniforms but they don't have your size, just buy a different size. You can exchange the item for the correct size later as long as you still have the receipt.
• Take advantage of tax-free weekends. Georgia and South Carolina will be having tax-free weekends this year. This is a great time to pick up clothing and school supplies. You can also pick up a computer tax free as long as it is $1,000 or less. The rules for each state are different.
South Carolina exempts many more items than Georgia. In South Carolina, they exempt towels, bed linens, sheets, etc. Schools in Effingham will already be in session before the tax-free weekend, but we can still stock up on additional supplies after school starts.
Georgia's tax-free weekend is Aug. 10-11. For details on what's included and what's exempt, go to https://etax.dor.ga.gov/salestax/bulletins/5-1-12_Sales_Tax_Holiday_IB_05_02_2012.pdf.
South Carolina's tax-free weekend is Aug. 3-5. For details, go to https://
• Look everywhere for great deals. Don't fall into the trap of only shopping at one store for all of your supplies. You would be surprised what great deals you can find at the drugstores and grocery stores on school supplies. Publix also has some great back-to-school deals. Last year I scored free scissors and glue sticks.
• Avoid impulse buys. If it isn't on sale, don't buy it. Maybe you have arrived at the store to snag a great deal on filler paper and your child also needs scissors. Don't buy the scissors if they are $3 just because you are there. You will be able to pick up scissors for $1 or less later if you just wait.
• Back-to-school sales are good for household items, too. Stores put household items on sale for high school graduates who will be going off to college. This is the best time of year to score deals on sheets, towels, vacuum cleaners and many more items.
• Stock up on school supplies to give as gifts later. Put together inexpensive art kits for birthday parties, day care or even use them as stocking stuffers.
• Take advantage of office supply stores' rewards programs. Staples, Office Depot and Office Max all have reward programs. Take the time to learn them.
• Ask if the cashier has any coupons or additional coupons that can be applied. It never hurts to ask for additional discounts. Sometimes the cashiers will have additional coupons that they can give you behind the register.
Recently I asked if there were any additional discounts available at Goodys and learned that I would receive an additional discount if I applied for a store credit card.
• Keep your receipts. If you find the item cheaper somewhere else, you can always return it as long as it is within the store's return policy timeline. Some stores like Walmart will refund you the difference if you find a lower advertised price later.
• Watch for coupons for office supplies. This time of year it isn't unusual for coupons for pens, pencils, scissors and more to start popping up. Go to savannah
now.com/coupons on a regular basis for coupons for school supplies.
• Check my blog.
Go to savannahnow.com/savvyshopper for the best deals on school supplies each week.
Please share your tips and questions with Savvy Shopper Michelle Rubrecht at email@example.com or post them to Savannah Savvy Shopper on Facebook.

The Pioneer SE-MJ591 Stereo Headphones are, hands down, the best sounding earphones I've ever had the pleasure of testing. The imaging is phenomenal and rivals my experiences with $20k a pair electrostatic speakers. The sound quality is rich and vibrant and, if you are anything like me, you'll start rediscovering your music collection. They are designed for both critical listening and portability, making them perfect for multiple applications. While they'll reveal all the flaws in your poorly recorded/encoded music, they'll also reveal all the beauty in the high-quality recordings. I didn't find them very comfortable to wear, though you may feel differently. At $300, these aren't inexpensive headphones but, if you care about sound quality, you'll likely feel it is money well spent.
The Pioneer SE-MJ591 headphones came with a carrying case, a removable cord, the instruction manual, and the headphones. The carrying case is probably the nicest I've seen and features a hard, padded exterior with modeled spots for the headphones and a channel around the outside for the detachable cable. There is more than enough room here for a longer cable. The outside of the case has a small, mesh pocket. This carrying case is, without a doubt, the nicest I've seen with a set of headphones.
The headphones fold back on themselves so that they are just about as compact as they could be for easy storage and transport. While still large enough that you'll have to thing about where you are going to pack them (should fit in your laptop case somewhere), the protection of the case is formidable. While they couldn't take being run over by a car, if you dared me to throw the case, with the headphones inside, out the window of a speeding vehicle, I would do so without hesitation. This is serious protection.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – With a 16-11 victory over host Mount Holyoke College on Saturday the MIT women's lacrosse team improved to 10-3 overall and 3-1 in NEWMAC action. The decision established a new Institute standard for consecutive wins (seven) and tied the program's mark for most wins in a season which was initially set in 1995.
Samantha O'Keefe paced the Engineers with six goals and an assist as Stephanie Brenman tallied seven draw controls, five groundballs, and two caused turnovers. Erica Little posted three goals, an assist, and two draw controls while Alex Wright notched three draw controls. Lynne Tye and Casey Flynn each totaled two goals and two draw controls. Kelly Duncan scored twice as Molly McCartin collected 10 saves and two groundballs.
After trading goals to start the contest, MIT tallied five in a row which resulted in a 6-2 lead midway through the frame. Mount Holyoke stayed within striking distance, trailing by four (9-5) with five minutes on the clock. The Engineers responded with a pair of goals during the final 20 seconds of the half. Little converted a free-position shot and O'Keefe recorded an unassisted goal to give the visitors an 11-5 advantage at the break.
The Cardinal and Gray carried the momentum into the second stanza as Duncan found the back of the net after 33 seconds expired. Back-to-back strikes by O'Keefe followed by a solo effort from Little 10 seconds later extended MIT's margin to 15-5. Undeterred, the Lyons continued to attack, mounting a 6-1 run that brought them within five (16-11) at the 4:39 mark. The remainder of the game was a defensive battle as McCartin stopped a pair of scoring attempts during the final minute.

Revisiting Linux GPUs: Playing the Driver Gameby Kristopher Kubicki on December 17, 2004 12:49 AM EST
- Posted in
- Linux
The TestWe will run a few different configurations of GPUs and operating systems just to give everyone a point of reference. The graphics cards that we have selected today should strongly correlate the same market segments - the Radeon X800 Pro and the GeForce 6800 generally both run at or over $300. Unfortunately, there are very few cards still available today that compete on the 9800 Pro level, so we were limited to including a GeForce 5700 Ultra for comparison (both cards run around $200.
|Performance Test Configuration
|AMD Athlon 64 3800+ (130nm, 2.4GHz, 512KB L2 Cache)
|2 x 512MB Mushkin PC-3200 CL2 (400MHz)
|MSI K8T Neo2 (Socket 939)
|Memory Timings:
|Video Card(s):
|GeForce 6800 128MB
GeForceFX 5700 Ultra 128MB
Radeon X800 Pro 256MB
Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB
|Operating System(s):
|SUSE 9.1 Professional kernel 2.6.8-14-default x86
SUSE 9.1 Professional kernel 2.6.8-14-default x86_64
|fglrx 3.12.0
fglrx 3.14.6
We will try to demonstrate the performance between the 64-bit and 32-bit kernel on Linux with the two driver sets. The NVIDIA driver that we are looking at today is already a month old - but most Linux users take a very conservative approach to inserting binary code into their kernels and we wouldn't be surprised if a strong majority of users have not updated to this release yet. ATI's 3.14.6 driver is also about a month old, which gave us some lead time to test the newest build of Doom3 with the newest drivers.
You will notice the test configuration that we are running looks a little old - SUSE 9.2 has been available for a few weeks now. However, since we had some of these benchmarks completed in October on the SUSE 9.1 platform, we opted to continue this analysis with the same platform to illustrate the differences on a stable platform. Feel free to check out the previous analysis test page here. The kernel used in this benchmark is still fairly current, but the userland is older.
Our test methodology is very straight forward, since we will only be benchmarking three games for this analysis. For Enemy Territory, Unreal Tournament and Doom3, we will run a basic set of timedemos along with two dimensional data from the AnandTech FrameGetter utility that we unveiled several weeks ago. We will be watching for specific fluctuations between the two driver sets on each video card. Furthermore, we will use Unreal Tournament 2004 in 64-bit and 32-bit mode to compare performance between the two sets of drivers in 64-bit mode. Unfortunately, there are still no 64-bit ATI binaries, so those tests are limited to NVIDIA only.

Style # 223037
Cross Front Straps Dress is rated out of 5 by 1.
Rated 5 out of 5 by echavez0627 from Love the blue! I originally got this dress because the dresses I fall in love with usually come in the same color, and this blue was so vibrant and different. This dress fits so well and the blue stands out. In person the blue is slightly darker, but nothing that is a negative concern. Love Love!

Cause & Effect[Reprinted from Perspectives Spring 2012]
You might not be familiar with the term "cause-related marketing," but if you've ever worn a LIVESTRONG bracelet, bought a pair of TOMS shoes, collected cereal box tops, purchased a paper shamrock at a Walgreen's cash register, collected pink Yoplait yogurt lids, or dropped a toy in a Toys 'R Us Toys for Tots bin, you've participated in cause marketing.
Now the fastest-growing category of corporate sponsorship spending, cause marketing is a powerful business strategy for both corporations and non-profit organizations—with companies spending millions of dollars on cause-related campaigns and charities collecting millions from these partnerships.
It all started in 1983 when American Express launched a campaign aimed at helping to restore the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. American Express guaranteed to donate 1 cent for every credit card transaction and $1 for every new card issued during the last quarter of 1983. Not only did the company collect nearly $2 million that it was able to contribute to the restoration effort of the American landmark, but American Express put itself on the map as well, generating extensive positive publicity and realizing a 17 percent increase in the number of credit cards and a 28 percent jump in the use of those cards.
The success of that first cause marketing campaign turned a lot of corporate heads, and within a decade U.S. businesses and non-profits had widely embraced the concept. Cause marketing quickly began replacing "corporate charity," which was becoming largely viewed by companies and their shareholders as an expense that had few tangible benefits. In contrast, the efforts of American Express and other early adopters of cause marketing proved that businesses could make those donations, incur those expenses, and get something in return. A more strategic form of philanthropy was born.
Ties That Bind
Since 1990, when the amount of money spent by corporations on cause marketing campaigns stood at about $125 million, the outlay by corporations has increased significantly, reaching more than $1.5 billion in 2010. With thousands of companies, large and small, raising millions for national and international charities, these partnerships have exploded in the marketplace. And why not? After all, these alliances not only raise awareness of and cash for non-profits, they also create exceptional public relations opportunities for companies, establish them as philanthropic citizens, and, unlike earlier corporate charity efforts, actually help sell products and services.
General Mills, for instance, created the "Save Lids for Lives" campaign, producing special Yoplait yogurt containers prominently displaying the pink breast cancer awareness ribbon. For the last several years, General Mills has contributed 10 cents for each lid returned to the company to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Since the campaign began, more than $25 million has been donated by General Mills. That's a lot of money for breast cancer research and a lot of yogurt sales.
It's a partnership that has synergy: a product whose target demographic is largely health-conscious women aligned with a nonprofit concerned with women's health. According to Tiffany White, associate professor of business administration, that synergy is key to a successful relationship.
"When companies engage in this kind of marketing effort, it signals to customers that in addition to their interest in profits, businesses also have a benevolent interest, that they have charitable, sharing intentions over and above making money," says the Bruce and Anne Strom Faculty Fellow. "And when the company aligns itself with a cause that is related to their business and appeals to their target audience, it's a winning formula."
That certainly is true for the alliance between the Lance Armstrong Foundation and Nike, who in 2004 produced the yellow rubber LIVESTRONG bracelet. Each bracelet sold for $1, and all proceeds went to the foundation for cancer research. As an athlete, Lance Armstrong's partnership with a sports apparel giant was a fit that resonated with consumers. But wearing the bracelet became more than a nod to the cause, it took on a life of its own, becoming a popular fashion statement as well. That success morphed into an entire line of merchandise that carries both the LIVESTRONG name and the Nike brand "swoosh." To date, that partnership has raised more than $80 million for the cause.
But the donation doesn't have to be that big or the product that trendy to win over consumers. White cites the positive consumer response to efforts such as Target's Take Charge of Education Program, which funds educational programs of the customer's choosing, and Panera's Operation Dough Nation, which includes creating easy ways for customers to donate change to the local hunger effort as well as Panera's donation of day-old food products to local agencies that serve the hungry.
"This complementary package of a smart corporate mind and a good corporate heart appeals to consumers and differentiates the business from the competition," White explains.
Cause-marketing efforts that don't have such a strong and sincere tie between the business and the charity, on the other hand, may find themselves the unwitting recipient of consumer backlash, no matter how generous the company's intentions. That's what happened in 2010 when Kentucky Fried Chicken launched its Buckets for the Cure campaign, changing its traditional red buckets to pink and donating 50 cents to the Susan G. Komen Foundation for every bucket sold. Though $1.9 million was raised in the first week alone, a lot of feathers were ruffled over what many thought was an ill-advised partnership between a company that sells deep-fried fast food and a cause for which there is a link between excess body fat and low survival rates. In some camps, the negative publicity for both the company and the non-profit was louder than the positive impact of the donation and lingered long after the campaign ended.
"Such efforts have the potential to shed a bad light on both the company and the non-profit and make them both seem opportunistic," says White.
Emotional Connections
Partnerships that fall flat are definitely in the minority, and the substantial benefits of successful partnerships keep businesses keen on the concept. Not only can cause-marketing efforts generate extensive goodwill and publicity, help differentiate a company from its competitors, and increase sales, they can also further the relationship with the customer.
"Such efforts appeal to consumers in a way that's meaningful to them, and it's much more of a collaborative effort with a more positive outcome," says White. "Customers are enthusiastic about spending money at a business that shows they understand who their customers are and what they value. It helps build brand loyalty and trust and long-term, resilient relationships with customers. It validates their decision making and enhances the brand."
Inger Stole, associate professor of communication, agrees. "When a company creates an emotional connection between its brand and the consumer, they are forging a relationship," she says. "Those that can sustain that connection rise to the top. Cause marketing suggested itself as a way to build that relationship by promising to fulfill more objectives than just supplying a product. It says that as a business we understand that Americans stand for more than shoes, or cigarettes, or cereal. That's why the American Express campaign was so brilliant. Who can argue with the concepts behind the Statue of Liberty?"
Overexposed? With relatively few risks and so many benefits for the business and the non-profit, and the feel-good connection for the consumer, isn't everyone a winner when it comes to cause marketing?
In many ways, yes, say experts. But that doesn't mean there aren't pitfalls.
Stole, for instance, shares concerns that the practice of hinging important issues such as health care and education on the whims of marketing trends is problematic.
"We must ask ourselves if the emerging system of cause marketing and commercially driven philanthropy is the best and most sustainable way for society to address fundamental social issues," she says.
As a communications expert, Stole is convinced that "from the corporation's standpoint, there's no doubt that cause marketing is an effective branding strategy," but as a citizen, she's concerned that "it makes the public feel that charities are well taken care of, and that's just not the case."
With corporations eager to support charities such as Susan G. Komen, Habitat for Humanity, and St. Jude's Children's Hospital, just to name a few, Stole says many smaller and less-popular causes find themselves struggling to raise funds. They want a piece of the corporate pie and spend a great deal of time and effort trying to determine how best to leverage their cause to marketers. And when that doesn't pan out, Stole says, these non-profits find themselves appealing to a public that may be less inclined to write a check because the sheer volume of cause marketing efforts, and their participation in those campaigns, make consumers feel they are doing their part.
The large number of cause marketing efforts and the public's constant exposure to them can also be a reason for backlash. Consumers may feel overwhelmed by the appeals being made to them, no matter how important the causes, which may cause them to feel less generous and more suspect. Facilitated giving provides such an example, says Stole. This branch of cause marketing, which has been taken up by gas stations, drug stores, or other convenience shops, solicits small donations for popular causes at the cash register.
"People begin to ask, 'How do I know that my donation is actually going to that cause,'" says Stole. Then there's the fact that all those donations taken together become a contribution that has the gas station or drug store's name attached to it, instead of the consumers who actually opened up their wallets. Add to that the angst that some consumers feel about being put on the spot to donate or explain themselves and you have a recipe for resentment.
An additional concern for the nonprofit and the corporate partner is what White describes as "co-branding contagion," which is the association of one brand with another by virtue of its affiliation with the same organization, in this case, the non-profit. For instance, says White, a charity could lose the sponsorship of one partner by forging a relationship with a second corporation that the first does not want to be linked with.
"When companies sponsor important causes, consumers make attributions between the cause and the brand and all the cause's partners, so brands always need to be mindful of what their actions and their associations with other brands signal to customers," says White. There can be backlash if one company, for instance, has a reputation that by association "contaminates" the other. "If the consumer has to stop and calculate the mental math of the brands' relationship with each other and it doesn't add up in their mind, it can be detrimental to the brand and the cause."
Terri Helge, professor at Texas Wesleyan University School of Law, explains that there is an even more nebulous problem for the non-profit— and that's the potential tax implications of such partnerships. "Despite the widespread success of cause-related marketing, the IRS has issued little guidance on acceptable practices by charitable organizations engaged in cause-related marketing," she says. "This leaves the non-profits vulnerable to questions about their tax-exemption status."
What does the future hold for cause marketing and the landscape of nonprofit fundraising? "Social media will be increasingly used to facilitate cause marketing," says White, "but it can be a slippery slope. When social media efforts are well done, they can be great assets, but they also have the potential to grow and go in the wrong direction and become hybrids of themselves, so it's very important that they are strategically managed."
Stole says the arena is likely to become even more elaborate. "I see much more use of social media to generate excitement about cause-related campaigns and more viral marketing beyond the purchase-triggered model. It's too valuable a strategy for corporations to abandon it, but they have to renew and refresh their approaches, so that they continue to engage the consumer."
Charity Case
For non-profits, the evolution from corporate sponsorship to cause-related marketing has the potential to create tax challenges. Why would a charity have tax implications for money that is being donated to their cause?
Terri Helge, professor at Texas Wesleyan University School of Law and a 1994 ILLINOIS graduate in accountancy, says the issue is how cause marketing can blur the lines between non-profit and for-profit activities.
"Corporations have historically invested marketing dollars in furthering community causes, with the residual effect of building the corporation's goodwill," she says. "But when the for-profit corporation also receives, in return for its support of the charity, the right to use the name or logo of the charity to directly affect the sale of the corporation's product," that can raise questions about the appropriate tax treatment for the charity.
"Cause marketing is on the IRS radar screen, and I would hate for charities to get caught because they were unaware. From the corporate side, there really isn't much
risk tax-wise because the money they're spending generally is a proper business deduction. It really is falling on the charity to be sure they are complying with the laws."
Helge's motivation for researching this topic stems from her time working with non-profits first as an accountant and now examining it from the legal aspect. "I saw that smaller charities were looking at cause marketing as an innovative way to raise funds without asking for more checks or doing an active fundraising campaign. They saw that larger charities were having a lot of success, and they wanted to take advantage of that opportunity, too. However, unlike their larger counterparts, these charities often don't have the benefit of legal advice, and since there is no clear guidance from the IRS, this leaves them vulnerable."
Tax exemption for charities is based on the fact that the services they provide are different from those of the for-profit sector. "When the lines between charitable activity and for-profit activity cross, the justification for special tax treatment for the charity weakens," says Helge. "The question may be what are the sources of the
income that the charity is receiving. If the corporation is paying for the right to use the charity's name to sell its product, is this considered a passive royalty of the charity's mark or name or is it considered an endorsement by the charity, which then is considered advertising and may be subject to tax."
Helge also explains that for a charity to be tax exempt it must provide a public benefit and can provide no more than an incidental private benefit, a vague concept that leaves room for wide interpretation.
"The IRS is supportive of charities, but they are aware that some charities are not complying with the rules to maintain tax exemption. They are trying to determine what is going on in the non-profit sector." She says the Congressional Budget Office has even issued a report on unrelated business income tax (UBIT) suggesting a more aggressive approach to investigating charities that may not be adhering to tax regulations regarding UBIT.
Helge calls for the IRS to provide more guidance for charities on these issues, as the matter will only become more complicated as cause-marketing initiatives grow more successful and more widespread.
"A revenue ruling or Treasury regulation setting forth safe harbor provisions for permitted cause-related marketing alliances would be mutually beneficial because it would reduce the administrative burden on the IRS of examining these arrangements on a case-by-case basis, and it would allow charities to more easily comply with the law," explains Helge. "In particular, smaller charities that cannot readily afford legal counsel to assist them in structuring complex licensing transactions would benefit."

Each evening begins at 6:00P with a complimentary cocktail period. As you enter the theater before the debate starts at 6:45P, you cast your vote for or against the evening's motion. Those results are displayed midway through the debate as each side makes its statements. After all six panelists speak, the audience has a chance to ask the speakers questions and vote again. The debate finishes with brief summations from the panelists, the votes are tallied and a winning side is declared.

LG has officially announced that the Optimus Vu is now for sale in the United Arab Emirates. This makes the 5-inch smartphone available in most major markets in North America, Europe, Asia, Latin America, and now the Middle East.
The Optimus Vu eschews typical smartphone design, instead opting for a more squarish 4:3 aspect ration. The extra width is used by features such as QSlide and Quick Memo, and is appealing to folks who enjoy reading on their smartphones.
Alex was slightly underwhelmed by the Vu during his time reviewing it, but LG has sold 17 Million of the devices so clearly there is a market. In the end, it's great to see our friends in the UAE have a new choice.

B1G to rename yet ANOTHER award
So maybe the B1G should rethink all these annual awards named after past players and athletes and coaches.... or, at least, adopt the Statue Rule: no statues for living people, and so no annual awards named after them either.
We all probably saw the news about the bizarre double life of 44yo wife, mom, ex-Olympian, and, yes, obviously, logically, Las Vegas hooker, Suzy Favor-Hamilton.
As the story mentions, the B1G's annual award to Top Female Athelete is named after her.
Correction: is currently named after her. It's obviously gonna get renamed.
Smarmy jokes to follow, fer shoor.

Best Oscar Satisfaction: Octavia Spencer
Obviously nobody wants to use a cliche any more than they want to be a cliche, right? It's not flattering or bragworthy to say that what you do or have been doing can be summed up in a cliche or its sister, the catchphrase.
But Octavia Spencer did just that. She kept her eye on the prize. And man is she happy about it this morning.
It takes a lot of forethought to get through awards season with your goals and image and self-satisfaction all intact. A lot of planning. You need to pace yourself so that you don't get bored or run out of good dresses or say something stupid on the carpet. She did this note-perfectly. She could write a book.
First, you line up a rotating cast of your various charming male friends to escort you, endearingly but never boringly, down each carpet all season. Then, form a lasting friendship with a designer who really, really gets your body (and doesn't it seem like Spencer forms a lot of lasting friendships with a lot of significant people? There's no snark behind that comment, I'm just marveling. It says a lot about her that people like her and want to work with her), and save the best dress, the real bang, for last.
I don't believe we need to compare women just because of their relative size, but it will beg saying other places in this blog - Spencer dressed her body, which I heard euphemistically referred to as "not-sample size", to a T. She looked comfortable every single time, she looked glamorous every single time, and the final dress, last night's triumph, cream in some lights, silver in others, with that great drape and cut, she looked like an Oscar winner before she ever heard her name called. Tadashi Shoji's business will go through the roof, as it should.
So I think she played this as well as she possibly could have and has got to be damn proud of herself. But it's still just a statue. And I know this because of the greatest image of the night, which wasn't seen by enough people.
After the show and before Jimmy Kimmel, there was a post-Oscar show that largely consisted of waving at celebs as they went from the Kodak Theatre to the Governor's ball. When the camera finds our girl? She's carrying her Oscar in one hand - and has a big black bag slung over her shoulder. Lainey thinks it was a shopping bag- I wonder if it was a swag/giveaway tote. Either way it looked HEAVY.
She hoped she could win the prestigious award. She did everything in her power to give herself the best chance. Nothing else changed. Why wouldn't she carry her own bag?
Keep your eye on the prize. Don't get distracted by what other people are doing. Sometimes a catchphrase is handy, because it's so true. Let's hear it for the newbie who hung on for the ride.

When I started this website, or more correctly when others insisted that I needed to start this website, I had the best of intentions. For several months I did a decent job of updating it with what I thought was useful content for you, my fans and fellow gardeners. And judging from the thousands of emails I received along the way – many of which I'll cherish forever -- you enjoyed what I had to say.
But as most of you have noticed, my interest began to wane a few months ago, to the point where I ultimately stopped contributing any new information. So it should come as no surprise that I've decided to effectively shut down my website.
It's not that it takes too much time or too much money to maintain the site, or that I don't enjoy being part of the online gardening community. It's just that maintaining a website isn't my thing.
I am going to leave this page up so that folks can contact me for personal appearances or for business opportunities. And I'll continue to read emails from those of you who simply want to reach out and say hi. But beyond that, the site is and will likely remain inactive.
Before I issue my last farewell, let me say that I've been deeply touched by the many sincere and heartfelt comments I've received since launching the website. I wish all of you the best in your garden, and in your life.
Farewell to All,

Watch the Trailer
In a stunning milestone for justice in Central America, a Guatemalan court recently charged former dictator Efraín Rios Montt with genocide for his brutal war against the country's Mayan people in the 1980s — and Pamela Yates' 1983 documentary, When the Mountains Tremble, provided key evidence for bringing the indictment. Granito: How to Nail a Dictator tells the extraordinary story of how a film, aiding a new generation of human rights activists, became a granito — a tiny grain of sand — that helped tip the scales of justice. An Official Selection of the 2011 Sundance Film Festival. A co-production of ITVS with funding provided by the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. A co-presentation with Latino Public Broadcasting.

The Houston Dynamo Academy U-16 team continued its busy week at the Generation adidas Cup on Thursday with a 2-0 win against the Columbus Crew Academy U-16s.
Juan Flores scored the opening goal to deliver a 1-0 lead for the U-16s. The strike continues a breakout season for Flores, who has 18 goals in 20 games within the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Central Conference this season.
Later, Christian Lucatero stamped his name on the score sheet in his tournament debut for the final goal in the 2-0 win. It was Lucatero's first game in the tournament after taking part in a ten-day camp with the United States U-18 national team from April 4-13.
Lucatero has 10 goals in 18 games with the U-16s this season.
The Academy also received standout performances from Jacob Salome, Nixon Urrutia and Giandemire Jaen in the victory.
The U-16s have five points after three games in the Generation adidas Cup – a regulation win, a shoot out win and a 1-0 loss against Montreal on Tuesday – and are currently tied for third place in the Domestic Division with the Montreal Impact. Sporting Kansas City leads the group with eight points with D.C. United in second with six.
Houston has two remaining games in the completion, beginning Friday night at 5 p.m. when it faces D.C. United. The U-16s finish the tournament on Saturday morning against Chivas USA.

Reckless For Nothing: College Girl From DC Gets Shot For Refusing To Give A Man Her Number! (Daymn Is That Serious?)
"A young college student claims she was shot by a man because she refused to give him her phone number. The young woman, whose identity has been protected, told police she was leaving a party in southeast Washington early Sunday when a man asked for her number. "He told my cousin he was going to shoot at us if I didn't give him my number and then he started shooting," she told authorities. One of those bullets struck the student as she ran away. It is still lodged in her ankle. Surgeons will decide how to remove it." - Washington News

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP Encourages Investors Who Suffered Losses In Excess Of $100,000 Investing In Align Technology, Inc. To Contact The Firm
Jan 19, 2013, 10:00 ET
NEW YORK, Jan. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a leading national securities law firm, is investigating potential securities fraud at Align Technology, Inc. ("Align" or the "Company") (NasdaqGS: ALGN).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20120119/MM38856LOGO)
The investigation focuses on whether the Company and its executives violated federal securities laws by failing to disclose that: (1) Align had materially overstated the Company's income and earnings; (2) the Company had failed to write down goodwill associated with the April 2011 acquisition of Cadent Holdings, Inc. ("Cadent"); (3) the goodwill associated with the Cadent acquisition had been materially impaired as the Company's negotiations with the Straumann Group ("Straumann"), the Company's exclusive distributor in Europe, over a distribution arrangement were failing; and (4) the Company's sales and current sales trend could not support Align's optimistic third quarter fiscal year 2012 financial forecasts.
On October 17, 2012, the Company disclosed that as a result of the termination of its distribution agreement with Straumann, Align would need to review its goodwill and could sustain a large impairment charge, erasing a significant portion of the goodwill value of Cadent. On the same day, the Company issued a press release pre-announcing its third quarter fiscal 2012 financial results, which missed market revenue and earnings expectations. In addition, the Company reported that Cadent's sales and services revenues had declined nearly 16%, year-over-year. Finally, the Company issued weak revenue and earnings outlook for the fourth quarter of 2012, well short of prior expectations. On these disclosures, Align's stock price plummeted more than 20%, from a close of $35.41 per share on October 17, 2012 to a close of $28.18 per share on October 18, 2012.

A Matlock architectural firm has high hopes of double glory after being shortlisted for a regional awards.
Two of the buildings designed by Evans Vettori Architects, based in Knowleston Place, have been nominated in the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) East Midlands 2014 Awards.
One of the buildings is High Edge, in Matlock – a private house which takes advantage of its position overlooking the town.
The other building is St Joseph's church hall, Derby – a modern building designed to complement the existing 20th Century church.
Robert Evans, who co directs the firm with Dan Greenway, said: "We're delighted and honoured to be shortlisted.
"If I was to guess why High Edge was shortlisted I would say it was the challenging site, because it was very steep."
He added that the most unusual aspect of the project was that it took ten years to build from start to finish.
The firm has a good track record at the RIBA East Midlands awards, having won twice in 2011.
The buildings are two of 11 entries for the East Midlands awards, and the firm is the only entrant to have more than one building shortlisted.
Also nominated is a Hathersage studio. The timber building was designed by Studio Gedye to increase space in the architect's family home.
Valeria Passetti, chairman of RIBA East Midlands, said: "I'm delighted that these 11 East Midlands projects have been recognised for their architectural excellence and shortlisted for RIBA East Midlands Awards.
"It's also fantastic to see the high–quality work of so many regional architects being celebrated in this way."
Winners will be announced at the RIBA East Midlands Annual Dinner and Awards evening on May 15.

The bright lights and cool nights of high school football are here.
Panther Stadium was packed with black shirts. The pads were popping and bodies were dropping.
It was a great opening night indeed. Especially, for the visiting Dolores Bears varsity squad.
Offensively, defensively and on special teams, the Bears ruled the night. Dolores did what it wanted, when it wanted against the Montezuma-Cortez High School junior varsity Thursday.
The Bears dismantled the Panthers, 64-0.
When we first started there, I thought, Oh man. Here we go, said Dolores first year head coach Ray Weir. Im just glad to get this first one out of the way, honestly. Its been a long offseason leading up to this. What we showed tonight, is only about a quarter of our offense.
Each team went scoreless on their first possession. But when the Bears (1-0) got the ball back, the rout began.
Dolores executed a 45-yard drive to get on the board first. Sophomore tailback Guy Wallace and quarterback Kolton Shull had 15-yard runs apiece on the drive. Senior running back Cody Carroll finished things off with a nine-yard touchdown scamper. Moki Youngquists point after attempt split the uprights and it was 7-0 Bears at the end of the first quarter.
With 5:39 left in the first half, the Panthers (0-1) were punting from their own end zone. But the snap sailed over the punters head out of the back of the end zone for a Dolores safety.
Now leading 9-0, Carroll and Shull had big runs on the Bears drive and Carroll capped things off with his second touchdown.
The PAT made it 16-0.
Ethen Upton would later strike on defense and offense for the Bears. The 6-foot-3 junior recovered a fumble on the M-CHS 13-yard line. The very next play, Shull rolled left and found Upton wide open for a 13-yard touchdown toss.
Shull would go back to the air on his next possession. This time, the senior hit Deano Valdez in the left corner of the end zone from 22 yards out with just four seconds left in the second quarter.
The Bears led 30-0 at halftime.
Unfortunately, for the mostly freshmen Panthers team, the game didnt end there. On the first play of the third quarter, Noah Galyons pass was picked off by Valdez and returned 36 yards for a Bears touchdown.
Carroll would recover a fumble and return it 20 yards for the next Dolores touchdown.
Just before the end of the quarter, Shull scampered 14 yards on a quarterback keeper for another six. Dolores led 51-0 going into the fourth quarter. By CHSAA rule, the clock continuously ran because the margin was at least 50 points.
Jalen Balderrama scored from one-yard out in the final frame and Dolores recovered a fumble in the end zone for the final score.
I thought we were going to have more problems than we did today, Shull said. We had a good week of practice, we prepared well. Guy Wallace ran the rock 20-something times tonight. Hes our workhorse. A lot of credit goes to that.
Youngquist, a former M-CHS soccer player, was a perfect 8-for-8 kicking extra points.
Shull executed the offense nearly flawlessly. He has greatly enjoyed playing for a new coaching staff.
No disrespect to any of our coaches in the past, but this is the best coaching staff that Ive ever been taught with. Ive been playing since I was 7, Shull said.
Wallace gained his first varsity experience. He feels he can be a key component in the Bears offensive attack.
I like this offense. It feels good once you get out there and get going. It all just flows together, Wallace said. Its really good running the plays we got, theyre really effective. We just pound the defense. They cant stop us.
While its nice to get that first win, coach Weir knows its only one game. Next week, 2011 2A state runner-up Bayfield comes to town.
Our defensive line is going to have to step it up against Bayfield. Theyre going to pound us to death up the middle, I think, Weir said. The offensive line, we jumped off (sides), I think twice, three times there in the first quarter? We just got to settle down.
Kickoff against the Wolverines is set for 7 p.m. in Dolores next Friday.

- Biggest Challenge of Living in a Small Space:
- Our house has a challenging layout. There are heat vents, cold-air returns and windows in the most inconvenient places. Also, the rooms are laid out in a way where it is hard to fill them with furniture while maintaining walking space. Solving these issues required a lot of furniture shuffling and sometimes sacrificing a heat vent or window sill to get the best furniture placement for the room.

Commissioner Wellinghoff's statement on market-based rates for wholesale sales of electric energy, capacity and ancillary services by public utilities
"I first want to thank the Team.
Competition in electricity markets provides many benefits for consumers. However, to preserve these benefits, we need to have a means to assess market power and effectively mitigate it where it exists. For the authority to sell electricity at market-based rates is a privilege, not a right. This Rule maintains the opportunity to achieve that privilege with the appropriate safeguards to ensure continued consumer benefits.
Our Market-Based Rate Program is a key tool in identifying market participants who have the potential to exercise market power to the detriment of consumers. And under our market-based rate regulations we mitigate that potential where it exists, by limiting the entity's ability to sell at market based rates.
In today's order we reaffirm our approach to analyzing the potential for market power and the consumer protections against its exercise.
We also expand our analysis in two ways that I think will assist us in identifying market power and mitigating it. First, we will consider on a case-by- case basis whether evidence of expected future changes should be taken into account in the "snapshot in time" approach that we have traditionally used. The Commission will consider these "sensitivity studies" and will also consider countervailing evidence.
The second expansion is to examine the way we mitigate the potential exercise of market power in long-term contracting by sellers whose sales of electricity are mitigated based on the failure of an indicative screen that is a "snapshot" of short-term market conditions. On a case-by case basis, the Commission will consider a request for a contract-specific market-based rate based on a demonstration by the seller that it does not have market power with respect to the specific long-term contract being filed. The mitigated seller must show that a buyer under a long-tem contract had viable alternatives to purchasing from this seller, including purchasing from third-party suppliers who build new generating capacity or building for itself. The burden is on the seller. We are not providing a "safe harbor" from mitigation for long-term sales. We will carefully examine the evidence presented by the seller, and other interested parties, and we will deny authority to charge a market based rate for a long-term contract when the mitigated seller cannot meet its evidentiary burden.
Thank you."
