RTC 2009-10 Impact Players: Mid-South RegionPosted by rtmsf on October 7th, 2009
Ed. Note: the previous posts in this series (Northeast, Mid-Atlantic, Atlantic South and Deep South) are located here.
It's time for the fifth installment of our RTC 2009-10 Impact Players series, the group of landlocked states that produce some really good basketball players – the Mid-South. Each week we'll pick a geographic area of the country and break down the five players who we feel will have the most impact on their teams (and by the transitive property, college basketball) this season. Our criteria is once again subjective – there are so many good players in every region of the country that it's difficult to narrow them down to only five in each – but we feel at the end of this exercise that we'll have discussed nearly every player of major impact in the nation. Just to be fair and to make this not too high-major-centric, we're also going to pick a mid-major impact player in each region as our sixth man. We welcome you guys, our faithful and very knowledgeable readers, to critique us in the comments where we left players off. The only request is that you provide an argument – why will your choice be more influential this season than those we chose?
Mid-South Region (KY, TN, MO, AR, OK)
James Anderson – Jr, F – Oklahoma St. An obvious and unanimous choice for our Mid-South list, James Anderson cannot be blamed if he has a little bit of a chip on his shoulder right now. Let's see: he's the third-leading returning scorer in the Big 12 for the upcoming season; last year the guy averages 18.2 points, 5.7 boards, shoots over 48% from the field as well as over 82% from the line and 41% from beyond the three-point line… and he gets left off the Wooden Award Preseason Top 50 list. Anderson has coolly acknowledged his surprise at this slight, and we think he's well within his right to do so. No doubt this will provide motivation for the versatile forward as he embarks upon his junior season for a Cowboys squad that needs him in the leadership role. Gone are Byron Eaton and Terrel Harris, leaving only Anderson and Obi Muonelo in terms of returning double-digit scorers. That's over 27 points a game for which to compensate, so Anderson will get the touches, without question. Last year was the first trip to the NCAA Tournament for Oklahoma State in the last four years, and despite the aforementioned losses, Cowboy fans are most assuredly expecting another bid this season. If it's going to happen, it will be on Anderson's shoulders. We know that making our Impact Players list for the Mid-South region isn't the same as making the preseason Wooden Award Top 50. But at least we can say… hey James… we got your back, man.
Patrick Patterson – Jr, F – Kentucky. Patrick Patterson didn't need a ton of motivation to return for a junior season in Lexington. The potential NBA riches were surely enticing, but with the news of John Calipari's hire and subsequent commitments of a recruiting class for the ages, Patterson found himself in a spot where another season at Kentucky may mean a national championship, a far cry from the tumultuous two campaigns he spent in the Bluegrass State under the tutelage of Billy Gillispie. Patterson is a physical specimen in the paint for Kentucky and coach Cal has to be absolutely salivating at the thought of pairing Patterson and diaper dandy DeMarcus Cousins there to complement John Wall, Darius Miller and Eric Bledsoe on the perimeter (just think if Jodie Meeks had stuck around). Patterson nearly finished with a double-double last season at 17.9 ppg and 9.3 rpg, including a dominant 22/15 performance at future #1 seed Louisville, a 19/16 vs. Miami and 21/18 vs. Auburn. In fact, Patterson led the SEC with 15 double-doubles in 2008-09 and was the only player in the conference to finish in the top five in scoring and rebounding. A wildly underrated part of Patterson's game is his 77% ft to go along with an efficient 60% from the field overall. Most NBA scouts think Patterson will only get stronger and continue to improve with another season in college, a scary thought for opposing SEC coaches and forwards, and a delightful proposition for Calipari. The 6'8″ big man already possesses an NBA-ready frame, a beast on the blocks that loves to bang inside and fight for any rebound in his vicinity. If Patrick Patterson gets the ball deep, he will score. Period. And with John Wall, possibly the top point guard in the nation this season, making those entry passes, Patterson should be able to average a double-double for Kentucky, only adding to the 1,000+ points he's already totaled as a Wildcat. Barring injury (which isn't a certainty as PP battled a stress fracture in his ankle in 07-08), Patterson seems about as surefire as anyone in the country to earn national accolades this season. But with realistic hopes of a Final Four at Kentucky for the first time in Patterson's career, it won't be about personal accomplishments for the determined forward; it'll be all about wins.
Tyler Smith – Sr, F – Tennessee. Tyler Smith is the classic NBA tweener, which is why we're still talking about him. The truth of the matter is that if Smith were a mere two inches taller than his 6'7 frame, he'd already have been a lottery pick by now for some hapless NBA outpost in Sacramento or Memphis. But the reality is that he's not 6'9 and isn't likely to get there anytime soon, so his decision to return to school for his senior year to refine his perimeter game is a considered one. He can already do just about everything there is to do on the basketball court – he scores, rebounds, passes, and defends (inasmuch as any Vol defends anyone), and he is also very surehanded with the ball, as his 1.6 A/TO ratio attests (third-best forward in the SEC). No, the two-time SEC first teamer who has led UT to 52 wins in two seasons in Knoxville really only has one weakness, and it is that he has yet to prove to the NBA that he can consistently drain the outside shot. In three years of collegiate ball, Smith shot it the best (38%) when he was one of a multitude of scorers on the 31-win UT team from 2007-08. But when he's more of an offensive focal point, as in his freshman year at Iowa (25%) and his junior year at Tennessee (29%), he struggles from deep. As you may have heard, UT returns 99.7% of its minutes from last season's somewhat disappointing campaign, and their core nucleus of eight players is solid at every position (if completely suspect on defense). If Tyler Smith wants to truly impress the scouts for the 2010 draft, he should use his impressive work ethic – the kind that gets him rebounds over bigger opponents – to challenge his team's defensive efforts through action. It is that kind of leadership (along with some improved marksmanship) that will allow Smith to shed his tweener label and sneak into the late first round next summer. If all of those things happen, Tennesee could be in for a very big year under Mr. Smith.
John Wall – Fr, G – Kentucky. The Great Wall. That's one of the various nickname candidates bouncing around Lexington for the presumptive freshman phenom that has UK supporters collectively pacing the floor as they pensively wait for basketball season's arrival. While that nickname might be more befitting of a big man – not that Wall is small at 6'4″ – the hype couldn't be any more massive, and has reached O.J. Mayo-like levels at this point. This of course includes Wall having been long-anointed with the #1 position on nbadraft.net's 2010 mock draft. What with the hiring of John Calipari and his dribble-drive motion offense (evidently tailor-made for Wall), and the fact that solid and consistent play at the point guard position has been lacking at UK for the past couple of seasons, Wildcat fans see Wall's arrival in Lexington as part of a harmonic convergence of sorts. They may be right. Wall is the top cat in a freshman class that, when considering the recruiting gurus' rankings, compares with Michigan's Fab Five class of 1991, and he (along with the rest of the team) has one major thing going for him that nobody's talking about: anything will seem better than the last two years of slow, slovenly offense and almost non-existent perimeter defense they exhibited under Billy Gillispie. In other words, despite the hugeness of the Kentucky program and all its history and tradition, Wall and the rest of the Wildcats (both old and new) don't have much to live up to in the short term. If you were a gigantically-hyped high school star, and specifically a top-rated point guard, this was the year to come to Lexington. Don't get me wrong, it's not all hype. We've seen amazing things from Wall in all-star games, pick-up games, high school footage, etc. We all know he's going to be ridiculous. It's no tremendous leap of faith to say that. But he's really put himself in a perfect situation here. He's in the right place at the right time, playing for a perfectly-suited coach on the biggest stage. We know what's predicted, we know he's capable of feats on the level of Rose, Mayo, Love, or Beasley, or even higher. The rest is up to him. Man, is it going to be fun to watch.
Willie Warren, Soph, G – Oklahoma. Could the best scoring guard in the country reside in Norman, Oklahoma? Willie Warren probably thinks so. So does this so-called expert. Returning for a sophomore campaign for coach Jeff Capel and Oklahoma is the superbly confident and supremely talented Warren, who one could argue is the top pure shooter in all of college basketball for 2009-10. Warren burst onto the scene with back-to-back 30+ point scoring outputs against Rice and Arkansas last December (on 23-39 shooting, 11-20 3pt combined) and officially exploded onto the scene in a primetime game in Austin against Texas (the Blake Griffin concussion game) in which Warren put the Sooners on his back with a 10-20 FG, 6-12 3pt, 27-point shooting clinic that kept #2 Oklahoma in the game. Along with the ability to make literally any shot on the floor, NBA scouts love Warren because of his quick first step, exceptional athletic ability and length, along with an edge of confidence that you cannot teach. While Warren is considered a "combo" guard, his court vision and passing ability does need significant improvement (3.1 apg), especially if Tommy Mason-Griffin cannot handle point guard duties immediately and Warren is needed to lead the offense in 2009-10. Warren also has a reputation for forcing poor shots, but the talented guard did shoot 47% from the field as a freshman, a solid number. With his ability to get to the rim with an array of moves and that unlimited range, I'd expect that number at about 50% with, quite possibly, 20 ppg this season. Expect Warren to have a chair reserved in the green room at the 2010 NBA Draft, as a first team All-American spot is a very realistic possibility.
Jerome Jordan (MM) – Sr, C – Tulsa. You'd be hard pressed to find a player in all of college basketball who has come further in three years than Tulsa's 7'0, 245 lb center. The long and physically imposing Jamaican barely saw action during his freshman year at Tulsa, averaging a mere 3/2 in eight minutes per game. Despite having gone to high school with uber-sprinter Usain Bolt, running hard really wasn't Jordan's thing, and his lack of conditioning and understanding of what it takes to play basketball at a high level was apparent. Still, by the end of his first year, he was showing signs of improvement and he followed it up with a breakthrough sophomore season where he became a regular starter en route to a 11/8/4 blks season that earned him a spot on the CUSA all-defensive team and the CUSA all-tournament team. He followed that up with last season's 14/9/3 blks and a spot on the CUSA first team, along with the watchful eyes of every NBA scout who covets size with good footwork and a knack for blocking shots (i.e., everyone). Jordan was projected as a late first-round selection in the 2009 NBA Draft, but he opted to return to Tulsa, which has head coach Doug Wojcik giddy. Given all the turmoil and change that went on at Memphis, and with four starters returning including the very talented guard Ben Uzoh, the Golden Hurricane is poised to move atop the CUSA standings and show the world that Bolt isn't the only graduate of William Knibb High School who knows how to run.

Netflix subscribers hoping to stream HBO programming may possibly possess a prolonged time to wait around as HBO just set up a edition of HBO choose the iPad.
HBO would choose to preserve its programming–along with films from Warner Bros., Twentieth Century Fox and Universal pics to which it holds the rights–to itself.
"Customers are "willing to spend a premium" if they think the content articles is valuable"
The HBO Go company will be amazing for current and lasting HBO subscribers, but disappointing for individuals hoping to make an make an effort to do all their film viewing by method of just one streaming service.

Harry Redknapp: Why Past Failings Mean That QPR Boss Is Facing Uphill StruggleDecember 14, 2012
Harry Redknapp recently swapped his comfortable place on the Match of the Day sofa in exchange for the altogether more pressurized cauldron of uncertainty that is the Queens Park Rangers hot seat.
Nearly as many managers have come through the revolving doors at Loftus Road as players in recent years, quite an achievement when you consider that the R's have assembled virtually a new team in each of the last three seasons.
Mark Hughes was the latest occupier of the position, bringing in big names such as Júlio César and Park Ji-Sung in what was meant to be a bright new dawn for the West London outfit.
So optimistic was César of achieving success upon his arrival from Inter Milan that he proudly announced that QPR would be playing in the Champions League by the time his four year deal at the Club expired.
He may yet get his wish, if he swaps "League" for "Ship" at the end of his statement.
Because unless Redknapp can work another miracle, The Championship is where QPR are heading.
In truth, the way in which Rangers have gone about their business has left a lot to be desired since returning to the Premier League.
During their promotion season in 2010/11, Neil Warnock put together a team built on a foundation of great team spirit and willingness to work for each other.
Despite their industrious nature, they still possessed that X Factor needed to set themselves apart from their rivals with the likes of Adel Taarabt and Alejandro Faurlín to guide them to the Promised Land.
Of course, the squad needed strengthening once promotion was secured, a 4-0 opening day defeat to Bolton Wanderers really brought that fact into sharp focus, but the Hoops seemed to forget all of the values that brought them to the Premier League in the first place. Perhaps indicative of modern day football, QPR splashed the case without little thought.
Players that had battled so hard to lead Rangers back to the top flight were gradually moved on and being replaced by the likes of Shaun Wright-Phillips and Bobby Zamora. There is no doubt that such players have been effective in the Premier League in years gone by but are they really the type of players that are going to dig in in a relegation scrap?
In contrast, QPR's promotion rivals in the shape of Swansea City and Norwich City went down a different road upon their arrival in the division, instead choosing to attract young, hungry players and keeping the core of their successful Championship teams together. The pair finished 11th and 12th respectively, and never looked in danger of losing their status.
You would have thought that the success of Norwich and Swansea would have served as a stark reminder to Rangers that maybe they should re-think their strategy, but after avoiding relegation by the narrowest of margins last time out it appears that nothing has changed.
Again, big names whose better days are well behind them have arrived at Loftus Road during the summer and once again QPR are struggling.
Cemented to the bottom of the Premier League table with only seven points to their name and still win-less after 16 games, Redknapp's side need a miracle.
Despite this, there is still time to put things right.
Redknapp still has a selection of hard working players at his disposal that will die for the cause if given the opportunity.
Jamie Mackie, Shaun Derry and Clint Hill may not have the ability that a Djibril Cissé or a Junior Hoilett does, but what they lack in quality they more than make up for in endeavour and fight.
If Redknapp can reignite that desire that allowed QPR to become a Premier League outfit in the first place, all may not be lost. If they continue to be driven by money and greed, Hoops fans may as well start setting the route planner for trips to Championship grounds next year well in advance.

Survey Finds Enterprise Mobility Management Lowers Cost, Improves Security and Supports More DevicesZenprise Announces Aberdeen Group Survey Findings; Best-in-Class Companies Leveraging Mobility Management to Control Mobile Chaos and Reduce TCO up to 78% (June 10, 2010)
FREMONT, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 06/10/10 -- Zenprise, Inc., a leading provider of enterprise mobile management and device management software, today announced findings from a research report conducted by Aberdeen Group, a Harte-Hanks Company (NYSE: HHS), titled "Enterprise Mobility Management: Optimizing the Full Mobile Lifecycle." More than 200 companies worldwide were surveyed for the report, which found top performing organizations ("Best-in-Class") are deploying Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solutions to lower total cost of ownership (TCO), enforce compliance to company policy and governance issues and secure the mobile edge of the network.
"Enterprise Mobility Management has emerged as the essential tool top performing organizations use to take control of the full mobility lifecycle of their mobile ecosystem," said Andrew Borg, senior research analyst for wireless and mobility, Aberdeen.
Aberdeen distinguished the respondents as Best-in-Class, Industry Average and Laggard organizations. Analysts used three performance criteria to determine their status: TCO per mobile employee, percentage of employees provided with secure mobile access to enterprise network and data, and percentage of lost or stolen devices not successfully recovered
Findings included:
- EMM impacts the bottom line -- By leveraging EMM, TCO per mobile employee in a Best-in-Class company averaged $189, 23 percent lower than the Industry Average and significantly lower than Laggards who spend $588 per employee.
- Top performers are mobile -- Best-in-Class organizations mobilize 84 percent of their employees -- an increase of 22 percent over the last 12 months. By comparison, Industry Average organizations mobilized just 46 percent and Laggards only 33 percent of their workforce.
- EMM reduces number of lost/stolen devices -- Top performing companies saw a seven percent reduction in unrecovered lost or stolen devices, 2.7 times the Industry Average and 26 times the Laggards.
- Diversity and complexity of mobile platforms is exploding -- The number of viable mobile platforms in the workplace has more than doubled from three or four platforms a year ago to eight or nine as more employees are bringing personal devices into the workplace. The majority (74 percent) of Best-in-Class companies support more than one mobile platform and device type.
- You can't manage what you can't see -- 70 percent of Best-in-Class organizations developed a detailed inventory of all devices accessing the corporate network, and 40 percent of those extended that inventory to include employee-liable devices.
- Remote control management capabilities contribute to competitive advantage -- Of Best-in-Class companies, 70 percent centrally manage mobile devices over the air, and 65 percent can update mobile software over the air. More than half (58 percent) are able to remotely lock and wipe data from a lost or stolen mobile devices.
The Aberdeen survey also found that Best-in-Class organizations leveraged EMM capabilities to ensure that end user devices are properly authenticated before accessing company network and data. Almost three quarters of the Best-in-Class track the level of network and data access provided to each employee, which helps them to enforce security policies. Further, these companies are more likely to implement processes to control which software is installed on end-user devices to minimize security risks and ensure network performance is protected from malware and other threats.
"The recent trend of re-consolidation of mobility under IT management indicates the evolving maturity of enterprise mobility as core infrastructure, essential to remaining competitive in today's global economy," Borg continued.
"Mobile devices have become an extension of an employee's personal and business identity and as a result the enterprise mobility landscape is becoming increasingly complicated given the proliferation of platforms, operating systems, applications and media to manage and secure," said Ahmed Datoo, Vice President of Marketing, Zenprise. "This report validates how leading companies are taking control of enterprise mobility by adopting technologies that provide the same level of control and visibility over their mobile assets as they do over traditional IT resources such as desktops and laptops."

After a season battling injury Mario Gomez has been left out of Germany's 30-man provisional World Cup squad. Understandably, the past season is not one the striker will look back upon with any fondness.
Quote of the day
"So …. now the World Cup. After the [Italian] championship and the [Coppa Italia] final, I even miss the World Cup. It was a call from the coach that hurt. Until recently, I believed I'd be fit in time. But, unfortunately, the injuries have set me back again and, in the end, the ugliest season of my career ends with a further setback. Almost seven months of knee injuries were just too much. That annoys me infinitely!"

The New Year is just around the corner. We turn the calendar to 2012 on Sunday, and that means people are thinking about those New Year's resolutions. Why not work on some resolutions that will help you save money? Here are a few common, low-cost or free energy-efficient New Year's resolutions.
1. Turn off the lights when you leave a room – This is the main point we talk about with kids in our Energy Champions presentations. As the folks at Energy Star say, your rooms aren't afraid of the dark. So don't leave on the lights! (By the way, this is a completely free resolution, but changing old habits isn't always easy.)
2. Change to CFL bulbs – According to CPS Energy, the lighting in your home accounts for as much as 20% of your electric bill. CFL bulbs, or spiral bulbs, save 75% more energy than the old-school light bulbs. They may cost a few dollars more up front, but switching to just one CFL bulb typically saves you about $30 on your electric bill over the course of that bulb's lifetime. And CFL bulbs last ten times as long as the traditional light bulbs.
3. Regularly change your air filters – Your air conditioning and heating system is responsible for more than half of the electricity you consume. That means it's really important to keep it maintained and running efficiently. One of the easiest things you can do to help is regularly change the air filter inside your home. If your filter is dirty, it means the airflow is restricted and your system has to work overtime to cool or heat your home. During peak summer and winter months, change your filter once a month. During off months, you can change it every two months (but it's a good habit to check it every 30 days). If you have pets or bad allergies, change your filter every couple of weeks. You can usually find air filters for less than $3 at home improvement stores or HEB.
4. Get a home audit – Check out CPS Energy's Energy Savers program. You can take a five-minute, do-it-yourself home energy audit – which will provide your energy score and tell you steps to cut down on your energy usage (plus you receive a $5 credit on your bill). Or, you can get up to 80% off the price of a professional audit. (Your home had to be built before 2000 to qualify for the discounted professional audits. If your home is newer than that, you're still eligible for the do-it-yourself audit.)
5. Eliminate energy vampires – This is probably the hardest habit to break, but it's also free to try. Electronics like your TV and cell phone charger are pulling electricity if you leave them plugged in when not in use. That's why they're called energy vampires, and they account for up to 10% of your electric bill. PC World ran some tests a few years back and found it costs $165 a year to power a TV when it's not in use. Of course, there are some electronics that have to stay on all the time. Your DVR can't record if you unplug it. But unplugging the ones that don't need power 24/7 can equal big bucks over the long haul. There are also smart power strips you can now buy that restrict electricity to electronics when they're not in use.
There you have it – a few, simple New Year's Resolutions to help cut down on energy use and save you money.

Silver Diner, a restaurant chain serving Virginia and Maryland, recently decided to offer "fresh and local" food. When I heard this I excitedly ventured out to our closest diner with a group of colleagues. We were ready for some good old fashioned home cooking and jukebox heroes (yes they do have them!). Trouble was not far away though…
The first thing one notices at the new Silver Diner are the advertisements all over the diner for the new local food. The host and server make sure to mention it. The menus is similarly plastered with the words local, fresh, farm. The marketing was a little over the top but at least it got the job done.
The next step was looking into the food. Are they really committing to this or just jumping on the local bandwagon (like Harris Teeter is doing). They appear to be doing both.
The food is local, fresh, and from the farm. They are buying local wine and coffee from a local roaster. These are amazing steps that contribute greatly to local business and can even spur these local industries to greater heights. I think it is important to recognize these steps and even say "thank you".
Thank you Silver Diner for committing to local, fresh, and farm to table.
With that being said here are some points to improve upon. Transparency is sorely lacking. The menu is more marketing than information. I was forced to ask the server for more details (which she barely knew). Of the two farms listed both were in Pennsylvania, which seems not local at all since farms and cooperatives exist in Virginia and Maryland offering meat, eggs, and dairy. The farms they do mention have only basic websites and do not even list certifications like organic or certified naturally grown.
I was forced to google for information and found that one of them was linked to being a CAFO (concentrated animal feeding operation). I didn't want to believe that Silver Diner could have overlooked this huge problem but found that the farm in question lists on its website a herd of 2,000 cows in a gigantic indoor facility, a sort of half-CAFO. Without more information and more transparency, what am I to think of this?
Further, the main reason I would continue coming back is for the vegetables and fruits. The menu and the website only state "produce from local farms". A method to fix this, since produce is perishable and seasonal, is to list the farms that you regularly buy from or an extra menu listing farm, season, and offerings (provided upon request).
Another issue is standards. Just what are you committing to? The local roaster, Arlington based Greenberry, does not seem to believe in Fair Trade, which is a way to ensure that coffee farmers are not being exploited as cheap labor. If you're going to offer hormone free meat, then why no offer antibiotic free as well? Also, no mention is made of organic or certified naturally grown, or any other standard that covers pesticide use?
Overall I am impressed by the moves Silver Diner has made. They are good first steps and probably necessary to build local food relationships. It does takes time to establish the operations of delivery and scheduling in bulk quantities. If they can continue their new efforts and build on them I will definitely be a frequent customer.

Political science lecturer at KNUST, Dr. Richard Amoako-Baah has argued that Ghana's independence appears meaningless because successive leaders preoccupy themselves with building monuments instead of passing on knowledge to the next generation.
Due to that wrong mindset, much was not done to improve the country's educational system rendering it "unpractical and almost useless".
Speaking for the motion, "Ghana's independence has lost its meaning" at the second Joy FM Debate in Accra today, Dr. Amoako Baah said Ghana has not developed like its peers after independence because its first president, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah ran a one-man show as he failed to mentor people who could take over from him in his absence.
A Pathologist and former Director of Ghana Health Service, Prof. Agyemang Badu Akosah spoke against the motion.
In his conclusion remarks, Dr. Amoako-Baah challenged Ghanaian leaders to think into the future and provide the necessary tools that the younger generation would need to build on and better whatever they have left
"You go to America and ask Americans who is the best president the country has ever had, no doubt Abraham Lincoln; what did he build? Nothing! The greatest assets that a leader can bequeath to a country is not monuments, it is thinking properly. Because if you teach the young to think properly, they can build far greater monuments that you can ever build."
Dr. Amoako-Baah also called for a new way of doing things in the country if the nation wants to develop.
For instance, instead of competing with Ivory Coast, Ghana's western neighbour, whose resources are almost the same as Ghana's, can join forces as the world's largest and second largest cocoa producers (Ivory Coast and Ghana respectively), to sell their produce to a cartel and put value on the produce.
So far as such things are concerned, no western country would come and make any suggestion of that sort when it would not be to their advantage, he opined. But a well-educated society would be able to think through in that direction, he said.
"It comes down to the kind of education we have received, unpractical, almost useless, we are able to repeat things, recite things, we appear to be educated and still helpless, that is the problem. We can sing God's praise from here to eternity, he gave us brains to think with, this is what others have done and has put them forward, we refused to do it and instead we want to speak tongues all day long, it won't work. You can speak all the tongues you want because you are a thief it won't work."
Prof. Agyemang Badu Akosah underscored that Ghana's woes started after Nkrumah's overthrow. He said Nkrumah put the nation on top gear and was fast tracking its development but for some elites who he said engaged in "incriminate participation" against his government.
He noted however that all is not lost, and called on Ghanaians to eschew selfishness because with a concerted effort, Ghana can accelerate its development.

WASHINGTON, June 29, 2016 (AFP) – World number two Jordan Spieth remains uncertain if he will compete in the Rio Olympics when golf returns to the Games lineup for the first time in 112 years.
Spieth and many of the world's top golfers will compete this week at the World Golf Championships Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club in Akron, Ohio.
But with world number one Jason Day of Australia joining the list of top names backing out of golf's Olympic return over his concerns about the Zika virus, the hot topic ahead of Thursday's opening round was Rio.
"Right now, I'm uncertain,'' Spieth said. "I have not received enough information to make an informed decision either way or not, so as we gather more information I will be able to make a decision one way or the other.
"When I feel confident, I will make a decision either side.''
The world rankings of July 11 will determine rosters so players have until then to decide about playing or not.
Spieth's US compatriot, third-ranked US Open winner Dustin Johnson, says he intends to play while fourth-ranked Rory McIlroy said he will not go to Brazil due to Zika, which has been linked to birth defects and severe illness.
Ireland's Shane Lowry, the defending Bridgestone champion, and Northern Ireland's Graeme McDowell have said no. So have Aussies Adam Scott and Marc Leishman, South Africans Branden Grace, Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel and Fiji's Vijay Singh.
Sweden's fifth-ranked Henrik Stenson and sixth-ranked American Bubba Watson, a two-time Masters champion, have said they will play. Also uncommitted is seventh-ranked US star Rickie Fowler.
"I've had to adopt my two kids. We can't have kids. So that aspect is completely wiped away,'' Watson said.

When a full-scale replica of a NASA space shuttle made its recent five-hour, mile-long trek from a barge dock in Clear Lake to its new home at the Space Center Houston, TxDOT helped make the move a safe and successful event. The Houston District's emergency operations team worked with the local law enforcement's incident command center throughout the move and closely observed as the shuttle passed under the SH 146 Kemah Bridge. NASA's signal contractor dismantled the traffic signals along NASA Road 1 to accommodate the shuttle's 54-foot height and 78-foot wingspan. TxDOT crews along the route inspected traffic signals to ensure they were operational.
Once the replica is installed and prepared for visitors, the public will be allowed to tour the vessel for a behind-the-scenes experience. Space Center Houston is planning a contest to select a Texas-appropriate new name for the replica, known as Explorer during the 18 years it was in use at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

The video was shot on location in Austin and College Station by TxDOT's Media Production Section and includes a supporting cast of University of Texas and Texas A&M University students.
The video's message ─ wear a bicycle helmet and use lights when you bicycle at night ─ is important because Texas has the third highest number of annual bicyclist fatalities in the U.S, with the majority of those occurring in urban areas. BikeTexas is using the video in its bicycle and pedestrian safety outreach campaign at Texas colleges and universities.

TxDOT's San Angelo District has permanently loaned two historic items from the South Orient Railroad ─ a speeder car and wigwag ─ to the Railway Museum of San Angelo collection. The vintage 1939 motorized speeder is a Fairmont MT-19A model and was used by track inspectors and maintenance crews to move along the rail to work sites from the 1950s to the 1970s. The wigwag is a railroad grade crossing signal once common across the country and used on the South Orient until 2001. Both items can now be viewed as part of the museum's permanent collection.

TxDOT is encouraging drivers to line up a P.A.S.S. (Person Appointed to Stay Sober) before heading out to summer events. Thirty-five percent of all alcohol-related fatal crashes on Texas roadways occur in the summer months between May and August. In 2011, there were 321 alcohol-related fatal crashes in the state, resulting in 362 fatalities in that same time period. Follow the P.A.S.S. campaign on Facebook.
"A day on the beach, barbecues, outdoor concerts or just lazing the day away on the river, summer days are definitely great fun. But folks should put as much thought into planning for a sober ride home as they do into summer event planning," said Carol Rawson, TxDOT Traffic Operations Division director.

Scientific literacy is essential for everyone in a global and rapidly changing society. Understanding the fundamentals of science as a body of knowledge and as a way of thinking leads to more informed citizens, voters, and workers. More and more jobs demand advanced skills, requiring that people be able to learn, reason, think creatively, make decisions, and solve problems. An understanding of science and the processes of science contributes in an essential way to these skills. The field of neuroscience is uniquely positioned as a tool to boost scientific understanding and personal development. CUNO seeks to enhance the scientific understanding and personal development of NYC school children through classroom-based workshops on the brain.
- Approximately 50 volunteers currently contribute to CUNO's outreach efforts. These volunteers are graduate students, research assistants, and post-docs from Columbia University, Mount Sinai School of Medicine, Weill Cornell, and New York University.
- CUNO visits almost 30 public, charter, and private schools throughout Manhattan, the Bronx, and Brooklyn annually.
- Nearly 1000 students in grades K-12 participated in CUNO classroom workshops in 2011 alone.
- CUNO also hosted specialized training for 30 motivated NYC Brain Bee participants.
If you are a teacher who has welcomed CUNO volunteers into your classroom, we'd love to hear from you! We are constantly looking for feedback, ways to improve, and anecdotes from the class.
In 2011, CUNO's founders were awarded the Society for Neuroscience's Next Generation Award for outstanding contributions to public communication, outreach, and education about neuroscience.

Beautiful Lies
Clancy Martin, Associate Professor, Philosophy, UM Kansas City
"Know thyself" is one of Western philosophy's most recognized maxims. It shows up on signs, bulletin boards, and t-shirts; it makes cameos in Hamlet, The Matrix, and certain U2 songs. People go on retreats, vacations, sabbaticals, and to college to "find themselves." Clancy Martin, chair of the philosophy department at the University of Missouri-Kansas City, does not think this is wise: "Life," he claims, "would be unlivable if we knew ourselves too well."
Those two UMRB grants were absolutely invaluable. Without them, the novel would never have been written, and I couldn't have done the translations.

Leadershift is about adapting and changing traditional models of leadership in response to the influence of mass collaboration. Mass collaboration is a form of collective action which occurs when large numbers of people work independently on a single project, exemplified by websites such as YouTube, Facebook and Second Life. As the traditional models of working are radically altered those in leadership roles need to understand their place in this new hierarchy and how to respond. Mass collaboration requires a form of leadership that is prepared to let go of the experience, expertise and control it holds precious and be able to see mass participation as an opportunity to create value rather than a threat to its existence.nd if you throw enough snowballs you can even get banned. ...

April 1 is the deadline for the city to accept the current single-stream recycling offer from Waste Management, city officials were told on Jan. 22.
The company made an offer to all cities within Pulaski County last year to handle a new single-stream recycling program at a cost of $2.76 per household each month and that�s what expires on April 1, George Wheatly, a Waste Management executive said. The ten-year contract would include increases based upon the national consumer price index � CPI � but they�d be held to no more than a 20 percent increase for the first seven years.
Wheatley offered Maumelle a new wrinkle intended to encourage their participation. He said if Maumelle gave the sanitation contract to his company at the current rate residents pay the city, his company would throw in the recycling for free.
Currently Maumelle has its own city employees who operate the sanitation routes and use city garbage trucks. He said displaced city sanitation workers could possibly work for his company.
Unlike the current limited recycling program in Maumelle where residents must separate different types of recycling items for pickup or take to the recycling transfer center, all items could be placed in the large storage bins provided.
During past discussions, city council members objected most to the huge green and yellow bins that many Maumelle residents might not have room for inside their garage.
Alderman Burch Johnson said last fall and again in this meeting that the barrels would be unsightly if they were left outside or by the side of a home.
Both Wheatley and John Roberts, director of the Regional Recycling District for central Arkansas said the single-stream recycling program has been wildly popular in both North Little Rock and Little Rock � especially in the more affluent parts of the cities. He said in some areas participation is almost 100 percent.
Each man said they likened Maumelle to the Chenal Valley section of west Little Rock and expected the same response here.
Mayor Mike Watson said he�d gotten several inquiries into the program and most of them were encouraging the city to participate.
The ease of recycling and the ability to place all items in the same container are the most popular aspects of the program, Roberts said. Many of the residents of the two neighboring cities report that up to 80 to 90 percent of their old waste now goes into the recycling program, he said.
Watson said Maumelle currently has around 7,600 households participating in the sanitation program but since Waste Management doesn�t include apartment complexes in this program the number would be closer to 7,000.
Wheatley said his company would develop separate contracts with apartments if the complexes wanted it.
Watson said the city runs such a tight schedule on sanitation pickup right now it would be nearly impossible to run the recycling routes the same day. In neighboring cities, Waste Management trucks run the same day as garbage pickup but normally later in the day.
Alderman Preston Lewis said the feedback on the recycling program he�d gotten from his constituents had been very positive.
Maumelle residents currently pay $15.50 a month but the city has a collection program. Watson noted even after the collection efforts the city made last fall, many residents are years behind in payments.
The Monitor published a list of those Maumelle residents owing in excess of $1,000 last fall and both the city and the paper received lots of criticism for releasing the data, which city officials noted was public record.
One city official also said in order to owe more than $1,000 a resident has to have not made payments in five or more years. The publicity generated some payments but a whole lot of residents still owe a lot of money to the city.
Former alderman Jamie Stell spoke indicating he was opposed to the company taking over sanitation because it would mean lost jobs to Maumelle residents.
Again Wheatley said they are obligated to hire any displaced employees so no one had to lose jobs.

Welcome to Little Creek Cheese, Central Coast's own local, award winning, handmade gourmet cheese factory and outlet. Located within the Old Wyong Milk Factory, along Alison Road in Wyong.
"Spending weeks throwing names around on what might be suitable for our company we still hadn't come up with anything we both liked. One super raining day while Russell was in the kitchen and I was in another room I hear Russell call out Little Creek. I came into the kitchen and said that's a perfect name. Russell wasn't sure what I was talking about as he wanted to show me that the little creek that runs through our yard was flowing again as there had been so much rain. I said I thought he was talking about a name for the company and when we talked about it we both loved it." ~Sue Parsons

At Microsoft's MIX conference this morning, the company took the opportunity to briefly make some comparisons between Windows Phone 7 and Android. One of them was browser performance, something Microsoft has been talking a lot about recently with the launch of IE9. Windows Phone VP Joe Belfiore, took a moment to test a Microsoft-built benchmark on a WP7 phone, the iPhone, and the Nexus S. Unsurprisingly, the WP7 phone bested both the iPhone and the Nexus S by a significant margin.
Now, the simple fact that Microsoft made this benchmark should raise a big, red flag. The company doesn't exactly have the best reputation in terms of honesty. I'll believe Microsoft's claims once I see WP7 beating Android in an independent, impartial, third-party benchmark. Until then, this is just part of the "war of words" Microsoft and Google are having right now. What do you guys think? Is something fishy going on?

August 06, 2014 11:25 ET
TORONTO, ON--(Marketwired - Aug 6, 2014) - Healthcare startup Figure 1 announced today that it has closed a USD 4 million Series A funding round led by Union Square Ventures.

It is used by more than 125,000 healthcare professionals at thousands of hospitals, and has medical and nursing student ambassadors at 200 schools including the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, and Columbia University Medical Center. One hundred million images have been viewed on the platform since its launch in May 2013. Every day, Figure 1's medical images are viewed close to a million times.
Union Square Ventures was an early investor in Twitter, Tumblr, Zynga, and Kickstarter. Version One Ventures and Rho Canada Ventures, who co-led Figure 1's seed round in the fall of 2013, also participated in this round.
"We are laser-focused on making Figure 1 indispensable for healthcare professionals -- and these new resources will be 100% dedicated to this mission," said Gregory Levey, Figure 1 CEO. "In USV, we have investors who have a long-term and product-focused view of the world, which is why we're thrilled to work with them."
Andy Weissman, Partner at Union Square Ventures, will join Figure 1's Board of Directors, as will Boris Wertz, Founder and General Partner at Version One Ventures. Zen Chu (Founder of Accelerated Medical Ventures and Faculty Director at MIT's HackingMedicine) will join as an independent director, bringing his extensive domain knowledge and relationships in healthcare. Roger Chabra, General Partner at Rho Canada Ventures, will continue as a board observer.
A new angel investor in this round is Jevon MacDonald, Co-Founder of GoInstant and StartupNorth. He joins Figure 1's other angel investors, which include Chu, Matt Wyndowe (Former Director of Business Development at Facebook), and Daniel Debow (Co-Founder of Rypple).
The startup is looking to hire for a variety of roles to grow its Toronto-based team. To learn more visit www.figure1.com or follow @figure1 on Twitter.
