Diving Into Data: Harnessing the Power of Information
Dr. Niall Gaffney, former Hubble Space Telescope data scientist: The Hubble Telescope Project is a great example of using data for discoveries not intended. We are demonstrating how the same techniques can be applied to foster business discoveries.

The era of Big Data is upon us.
We are now collecting data at a rate faster than we can manage it using traditional tools. But data unto itself is of no intrinsic value: Its real significance lies in how we harness and apply it. Research analytics make it possible to identify trends and insights that are not otherwise readily apparent — variables that are often described as "unknown unknowns."
Many business leaders don't understand why they should care about big data and data analytics, or they don't realize how it affects their organizations. Others buy into the business need but are intimidated by the first step: figuring out how to get a company into big data without sinking the ship.
Join us on January 22 for a conversation with Dr. Niall Gaffney, director of Data Intensive Computing at Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC), and Dr. Michael Hasler, program director for the MS degree in Business Analytics, IROM, at the McCombs School of Business. The two experts will share their perspectives, expertise and advice on the future of data in business, and after the presentation, you are invited to tour the facilities of TACC.
Dr. Gaffney, a former Hubble Space Telescope data scientist, will explore how science and engineering researchers have been using data analysis to answer fundamental questions about life, the universe, and everything.
He will discuss:
- Some ways researchers gain insights from their data, even if it was gathered for completely different purposes
- The mythology currently associated with data
- The questions and the answers data analytics can reveal
Gaffney will also share examples of how TACC's staff can collaborate with companies to get the best value out of their data, and he will describe how TACC leverages its facilities to carry out research with data on many different scales.
Dr. Hasler will recommend some logical first steps for enhancing a company's foray into business analytics, whether those steps include big data or not. He will make a case for using big data analytics in a business environment by highlighting examples of well-known companies that have successfully leveraged big data into bigger opportunities.REGISTER TODAY Guest Speakers

Laura Whitmore made quite an appearance on the red carpet of the 2014 National Television Awards at London's O2 on Wednesday (January 22).
Not one to shy away from trying new looks, this monochrome LA Mania dress from the Spring 2014 collection is no exception.
With a midriff-baring front cut-out panel, dramatic stepped hem and really unnecessary grid-like panel lining, this was one of the most striking dresses of the evening, but for all the wrong reasons.
Fortunately Laura did claw back some sartorial points by opting for a pair of simple black Kurt Geiger pumps and a white clutch which blended in with the stand-out dress. A chic, loose up-do and a flash of red lippy pulled the look together and some Stephen Webster jewels were the finishing touch.
I'm always keen to see stars try out new and experimental looks but is it just me or is this just too much? Laura can get it so right normally so I'm sure this just a minor blip…

Brutai's Christian Sturgess just released a playthrough video for their song "Onyx," and it'll melt your face. The song, which appears on their 2013 self-titled EP, features a killer bass part with intricate rhythms using slap, strumming, and three-finger techniques.
The bassist's snarling bass tone is also something to marvel. Sturgess gave the low down in the YouTube comments section.
"The bass itself does a lot of the tone besides my hands and post – production, its got a Darkglass pre-amp in it which gives a massive crunchy sound to the mids and highs," he said. "I record in stereo, one track being a bass frequency with all the mids and highs removed, the other just the standard DI with a distortion plugin added."

We deserved late winner, says Bento as Portugal scrape past Denmark
23:24 GMT, 13 June 2012
Portugal coach Paulo Bento felt his side deserved their 3-2 victory over Denmark in Lviv, insisting it would have been 'unjust' had his side been held to a draw.
Goals from Pepe and Helder Postiga had their team 2-0 ahead but Nicklas Bendtner pulled one back just before half-time and, after Cristiano Ronaldo had missed a couple of straightforward chances, the Arsenal striker scored a second.
Substitute Silvestre Varela snatched a winner three minutes from time and Bento felt that did justice to their performance.
Late winner: Varela is swamped after scoring in the 87th minute
'The team were focused throughout and showed real quality,' said the Portuguese.
'We created chances, especially in the first half, and I think 2-0 would have been a just result at half-time.
'In the second period we didn't sit back on our lead, we looked for a third.
'The equaliser was unjust but we didn't bow our heads, we showed character and got the winner we deserved.'
The win was vital in keeping alive their hopes of qualifying from Group B, having lost their opener against Germany, and Bento feels they are maintaining their progress.
'It was different to the Germany game – we scored – but beyond that we continued what we did against Germany,' he added.
Hot under the collar: Varela insisted his side deserved their win
'Our organisation was good but we can still improve.
'We've had two good games now against two great opponents. We've had obstacles but we're continuing on our path – the right path.
'We suffered after the first game but these three points means it is now in our hands.'
Denmark coach Morten Olsen admitted conceding a late winner was devastating for morale but was not unhappy with the performance.
'It's a horrible feeling to concede so close to the end and end up losing the game,' he said.
'We struggled to find our rhythm but we really improved in the second half and in the last 10 minutes we came into our own.
Take it like a fan: Portugal supporters celebrate their win
'I was proud of the way we played against the Netherlands (winning 1-0) but in a sense I'm prouder here of our second-half performance.
'We couldn't get our reward in the end but that is the rule of the game and everyone experiences it once in their careers – but hopefully not much more than that.
'We merited a point. I think with a bit of luck we could have got a draw.'
Olsen suspects Niki Zimling, Dennis Rommedahl and Daniel Agger will all be injury doubts for Sunday's clash with Germany.
The absence of the latter would be a particular blow as the Liverpool centre-back has been impressive in the tournament.
'What Agger showed tonight was a real captain's performance but I think it will be difficult for injured players to be back on Sunday but we'll see,' he added.

On Friday afternoon, President Trump signed an executive order calling for a travel ban from seven countries with a Muslim majority. A number of people who had duel citizenship or green cards and were traveling home from those countries were detained over the weekend, resulting in demonstrations at airports and chaos. Some business leaders stepped forward to say they would help refugees, once they are allowed to move here.

It didn't help that oil prices dropped, primarily because the U.S. has increased its oil output. OPEC recently put caps on their production in an attempt to stabilize and, hopefully, raise oil prices. The increase in U.S. production is undermining that effort, however, and could cause OPEC countries to cheat to their agreed limits.

The arts have an ability to help a community define itself.
Riverisde, CA (PRWEB) January 21, 2014
Riverside is known as the birthplace of the citrus industry. Now, it's also known as "The City of Arts and Innovation." It's a big moniker which Patrick Brien proudly nurtures in his job as the Riverside Arts Council Executive Director. "The arts," he said, "have an ability to help a community define itself."
Brien told Southern Cal CEO Magazine the arts are critically important to Riverside's cultural and economic future. Studies jointly conducted by the Arts Council and Americans for the Arts in Washington D.C. show a Riverside arts patron will spend an average of $24.80 above and beyond the cost of admission in local restaurants and shops. If you consider the tens of thousands of people who attend art related events in Riverside, Brien said, "We are very, very confident the impact the arts can have in a community, and in this community, is quite profound."
Brien applauded the tremendous investment Riverside has put into developing the arts in downtown. Venues, such as the beautifully restored Fox Theater and the remodeled Riverside Convention Center, project a metropolitan feel. A thriving arts scene can help sway companies to relocate or start-up here. Brien said many employers want the cultural allure and prestige of a big city, as well as, a business friendly climate. He also praised the recent opening of the black-box theater, called "The Box," in the Fox Entertainment Plaza.
A black-box theater is a square room with no fixed seating or stage. It can be reconfigured, Brien said, to meet the needs of whatever is going on. The Box accommodates performances too small for the 1,600 seat Fox Theater. The Riverside Youth Theater recently moved its shows from a Moreno Valley church to The Box. The theater group has found The Box is affordable and it has sold out the 200 seat venue almost every time. "Now they're performing at one of the flagship venues of the city, and everyone knows who they are," he said. "It's one of the great side benefits of having a facility like this."
He also noted events, such as the downtown Arts Walk (on the first Thursday of every month), go a long way to get people, who otherwise would never set foot in a gallery or theater, to check out the local visual or performing arts at virtually no cost. It all stirs the economic pot. "There's a lot of connectivity that goes unseen by most people," Brien said.
Now Brien must take The City of Arts and Innovation" to the next level. Brien said he has to find ways to take the arts to Riverside's diverse population segments which typically don't attend the array of events at the downtown venues. For example, he said a partnership with the parks and recreation department may be a way to reach families that might spend their free time together in a park rather than at an auditorium. Home mailers, he said, won't work.
Generating money to fund the Community Arts Partnership Grants program is also critical to the Arts Council's mission. The annual "Mayor's Celebration," formally known as the "Mayor's Ball," has been the Arts Council's main fundraiser for three-plus decades. "It has been my goal for several years, " Brien said, "to try to better incorporate the local arts organizations into the center of that event because really it should be a showcase of what it is that we have to offer."
The money raised at the event goes right back into the community. The funds are spent on bussing school children to performances, and on teaching other arts organizations how to apply for their own grants, or on how to market themselves -- even on how to file their tax paperwork for non-profits.
It's a big challenge for Brien, but, it's all part of a day's work in "The City of Arts and Innovation."

H.O.G. Rally comes to Windsor
Click here for a gallery of photos from the rally.
More than 1,000 bikers are expected to descend on Windsor-Essex in the next couple of days for the 24th annual Ontario Provincial H.O.G. Rally.
Ernie Richardson and his wife Carol have been attending H.O.G. rallies nearly every year for more than a decade. Richardson, 75, said although he didn't have to travel far to attend this year's, he had just returned from a ride to Alaska and back. He said he enjoys the freedom of riding his Harley-Davidson and not feeling like he's in a cage, like when he's driving in a car.
"Anybody who thinks there isn't a God just has to go through Jasper and Banff and see those mountains. You're already up 2,000 metres and yet they're towering above you," said Ernie.
He said motorcycles have been a large part of his life since he began riding more than 50 years ago. He's ridden through all the provinces and states west of London and said he's going to be heading to the east coast next.
Lisa Mailloux of Windsor said her and her husband Ken have been attending the annual rally since 1999.
"It relieves a lot of stress. You just zone out," said Mailloux. The two said they enjoy group rides like the ones during the H.O.G. Rally out into the countryside.
The Windsor chapter of the Harley Owners Group is comprised of motorcycle enthusiasts and was the first H.O.G. in Canada. Each year, the annual H.O.G. Rally selects a different charity or cause to support within the hosting community. This year, the Essex and Kent Scottish Regiment was chosen.
Michael Beale, spokesman for Delta Company, the civilian volunteer support group for the Essex and Kent Scottish, said the funds that the bikers raise by registering in the event will go toward supporting returning soldiers and their families within the community. He said it is amazing to see the effects bikers have on so many communities through the annual rally.
"These are the most wonderful group of people. There's a goodness about them. Whenever you get them together, it just shines through," said Beale.
"They're pleased to show off their Harleys but they want to make sure they affect the situation in a good and positive way. What these people are doing and how they're impacting Windsor and Essex county is absolutely extraordinary."
To kick off the bikefest Thursday, an opening ceremony was held at the Major F. A. Tilston, V.C. Armoury.
A cheque for $1,500 was presented to Second World War veteran Ralph Mayville to help him attend a Washington, D.C., reunion of the his former unit, the Devil's Brigade. during the opening ceremony.
Mayville was given two standing ovations from the hundreds of bikers at the opening ceremony and was moved to tears when he accepted the cheque from this year's rally hosts, the Windsor H.O.G. chapter and Thunder Road Harley-Davidson.
Around 40 riders from the Grand River H.O.G. chapter, which includes Cambridge, Guelph and Kitchener-Waterloo, will be attending the rally this year. Ron Hanna, from Kitchener, said he enjoys riding his Harley alone but there's something different about riding in a group.
"It's a very moving and very powerful feeling riding with so many others and to be such a part of a big, good thing," said Hanna. "I absolutely love it – the camaraderie, the friendship, the brother and sisterhood. It's a fantastic time and just a celebration of motorcycles and everything Harley Davidson."
The public is invited to attend the rally at the Riverfront Festival Plaza Friday and Saturday. A full list of events can be found at http://www.ontariohogrally2012.com/.

Review: Samsung Galaxy Note 8
Samsung's latest flagship is here, and of course all eyes are upon it. It's been sometime since Samsung released their S8 and S8 Plus which brought with them the infinity display and overall stunning design. More importantly, it's now been a year since Samsung were forced to recall the Note 7 twice, and ultimately withdrawing […]...More0

Thirty years in any business is a long time. In radio, it's an eternity. For Mike Francesa, it's never been about surviving corporate changes, the loss of a radio partner, increased competition or the rise of technology. It's been about competing and being the very best. Anything less than "numbah 1" wasn't good enough.
But despite three decades of ratings and revenue success, Mike will find himself in unfamiliar territory on December 16, 2017. That Saturday morning, the king of New York sports talk will wake up for the first time since 1987 as a man without a microphone and radio station.
It's no secret that Francesa and WFAN are going in separate directions. Chris Carlin, Bart Scott and Maggie Gray have been tabbed by program director Mark Chernoff to lead the station forward in PM drive, a move which is under heavy scrutiny. Fans were hopeful after Craig Carton's exit in September that WFAN executives and their longtime franchise player would find a way to extend their relationship but unfortunately nothing changed.
Whether you've been a Francesa fan or critic, his success and impact on the radio industry can't be denied. His rise with Chris "Mad Dog" Russo to the top of the ratings in New York breathed life into the sports radio business during a very important time in the format's infancy. Had Mike and the Mad Dog not produced results, who knows where the format would be today.
But it didn't stop there. Russo left the show in August 2008, and rather than adding a partner, Francesa began performing as a solo act, delivering the same type of impact that he had for the prior 19 years. That success added to his legacy, and cemented his position on the Mount Rushmore of sports radio talk show hosts.
For most personalities, that would be enough, but Mike hasn't reached the end of his broadcasting journey. In fact, he remains interested in continuing to work. Fans will have to live without hearing him during the upcoming winter months but come April, Francesa says he plans to sink his teeth into something new. What that will be and how often he'll do it remains to be seen, but whatever he chooses, it'll be on a different outlet than the one New York sports radio listeners have been accustomed to finding him on for the past three decades.
I had the pleasure of spending time with Mike in his office last week to reflect on his run with WFAN and examine a number of different areas of the radio business. As usual, he was candid and provided plenty to think about, two of the biggest reasons why he's been one of the most successful sports radio personalities in our format's history.
JB: How much have you allowed yourself to reflect and appreciate the process leading up to your final show?
Leading up to the final show, in our business you spend a lot of time planning ahead. Right now I'd normally be looking to the Super Bowl, Spring Training and even April. You're always trying to work 4-6 in advance but I haven't done any of that so that's very different from the normal course of business. There's a finality to every part of it. As I've gone past each month, you check them off and realize there's never going to be another September or October doing shows so from that standpoint I've tried to appreciate it and be a little more reflective.
JB: What are you going to miss most and least about the job?
What I'll miss most is the idea that there's a big happening and I know the city is waiting for me at one o'clock. That's been my life for thirty years. To know the city isn't waiting for me anymore will be a big adjustment.
JB: Who would you put at the top of the list among your favorite guests from over the years?
MF: There were some guests who performed above the call of duty on the show. George Young was one. David Stern was another. They not only brought a great performance level but they brought this curmudgeonly playful attitude that made them great guests.
The one that got away was Joe DiMaggio. Dog and I tried very hard to get him on the show. We even got Ted Williams to ask for us. We just couldn't get him.
JB: Which memorable moments from the show stand out the most?
Back then they used to just take you off the air. They've learned their lesson and changed that stance thankfully. Look at me, right now I couldn't be more of a lame duck. There's a new company I'm not part of. There's a new show already named. I feel like the President after election day. You have people just waiting to push you out of the office.
JB: When did you know the show was a success and had influence?
MF: I knew the show was a success when we got the first book. We were third after they had been eleventh. The second book we were first and life changed. They ripped up our contracts, we were the toast of the town, there were headline stories, and we were big stars.
The first time though that I knew it had impact was when the Giants called and asked me to MC a dinner they were doing. That was about six months into the show. I was like "Whoa, the Giants are calling me?"
JB: So with all of these great moments and tremendous success, why leave?
It was very important to me to leave on top. I didn't want to be one of these guys who used to be number 1 and now you're number 28. I couldn't live that way. I wouldn't be comfortable with that.
I've driven these guys exceedingly hard to finish 1st in the final book. With a few weeks to go we're first but it looks like it's going to be a dogfight with one of the music stations. That's what's important to me and that's what we've been striving for. I wanted to go out the same way that I came in, on top.
JB: How much of this has to do with Entercom taking over and working for a new company and possibly facing different economic realities?
This wasn't about money. I just thought a few years ago that it was the right time and nothing made me think it wasn't the right time to go. I still believe it's the right time to move on.
It had nothing to do with Entercom. Whether I agree with what they're going to do going forward or not doesn't matter. I'm not even going to know what they're like for six months. They were not an issue at all.
JB: How close did you come to reversing your stance following Craig's exit?
MF: After the Carton thing happened I said "if you really need me to stay then we'll discuss it." We had one meeting about it and they said they did not think it was a big deal and didn't think it would change things at all. I said OK and that was it.
JB: So if that is indeed the case and this is it for you with WFAN, what is next?
The way it's set up I can't do local radio, network radio, satellite radio or podcasts until April 1st. TV's not in there but I'm not sure how much of that I want to do, especially the conventional way. I'm much more into digital and the new wave of TV, the Amazon way, the Netflix way and the different ways they distribute video content.
JB: This radio station has endured losing high profile stars like Russo, Imus, Carton, Sid, etc. Your departure will soon be another major test for them. How has WFAN been able to continue thriving after losing such key people?
They still have to make the right decisions. If they don't, it can lose its way. We've seen that happen in other cities. It's not The Fan's birthright to be on top and it is tough to replace a very successful show but it does happen. Imus got replaced.
Mark always has an idea of what he wants to do. This was not done without any thought process. How it's going to do? We'll see.
JB: The news of the new afternoon show hasn't been well received so far, although they haven't even done a show yet. Your former partner in particular was pretty upset. What's your reaction to the station going in this direction?
JB: Let's be fair too, whoever goes in after you, is going to be under intense scrutiny the second they step into the studio. How long of a leash do you think a new show deserves?
MF: You have to give the new show at least six months. The first book will not be a great indicator of anything. Plus it's a Winter ratings book. Take a look at the end of the Spring book and see where you are. That'd be a fair indicator.
JB: I recognize you're not in the advice business, but having done this successfully for as long as you have, what advice can you pass along to the new show?
JB: The competition in afternoons has been stronger too. How do you think that affects the patience with the new program?
There's going to be some back and forth. The other station feels they're in a different position now. They've never won. They've always lost. They've been beaten up for so many years that they think this is an opening but they felt the same way when Dog left and that door didn't open for them. We'll see this time if they are more vulnerable.
JB: Mark Chernoff is responsible for making the move. The two of you guys have had a lengthy working relationship. How would you describe it?
Mark's greatest strength for me is that he's a genius on understanding the ratings and how they work. There are certain things you can do and I'm sure he'll teach the new show and they really need to listen and understand.
A lot of talent won't take the time to learn this part of it. Some pay no attention to ratings. You can like it or not but if you don't understand it you're out of your mind and short selling yourself. That's how you're going to be paid.
JB: How surprised are you by the lack of interest from some personalities towards learning and understanding the ratings game to help their longevity and earning power?
I remember Mel Karmazin had this meeting years ago and turned to one guy and asked "what's your job." This executive went into this long ten minute answer full of a bunch of baloney and Mel turned to him and said "let me put it simple – you're job is ratings and revenue – and don't forget it on your next job." He fired him.
JB: Sticking with the subject of ratings, you've said before that you feel the sports radio industry is going after the wrong demographic. You believe Men 35-64, not Men 25-54, should be the target. How come?
The way the world works with student debt and the economy, kids aren't even leaving home until they're 30 years old. They can't afford anything at 25 years old. If they're buying their first home it's usually on a shoestring budget and they're getting help from their parents. You think that's your market? They're not your market. Your market is the baby boomer and people 40-65 who have all the earning and spending power in this country. To turn away a good part of that audience is insane.
JB: How do we fix that?
If I was in the advertising business I'd be saying "gear everything towards the guys 40-65 or 70, they have all the money and time."
JB: One of the biggest challenges for radio has been the emergence of digital. How do you think that's impacted the industry?
I've fought everybody in the business over this. Radio is live and local and the business is still there. The digital money has never been there. No one knows how to monetize it and it's so new that you're not even sure what you're selling as the business changes from Facebook to Twitter to Instagram to Snapchat.
What radio does know how to do, this commercial sells that car. This commercial sells that restaurant or store. That has never changed but they've gotten away from it and radio has to get back to its roots or they're going to wish they did.
JB: But social media has become an important way for people to engage, find content and connect to brands. Podcasts are another platform gaining in popularity. Don't those matter?
I've railed against podcasts because nobody makes any money on them. When did we decide everybody gets a radio show? We didn't. But everybody now has a podcast.
Radio has chased empty dollars. There's nobody at the door saying you can't enter. So everybody enters. Unless you go into a podcast with a radio brand and audience, you're not going to make money or create a big enough audience to support what you're doing.
JB: When you look at where the industry is today compared to where it was before, do you think it's still an attractive profession?
MF: The job of talk show host has become a great job. When I started the talk show host was not a big deal. The columnist was the big guy and he looked down at the radio host. We turned it into a profession. Kids are now going to school to pursue becoming a talk show host. In most cities in this country, the talk show host is now the number one difference maker or tastemaker in that town. To me, that transition is one I'm most proud of. Mike and the Mad Dog gave the job enormous credibility and attention.
JB: You mentioned Mike and the Mad Dog, knowing that this was going to be the final run for you with WFAN, was that why you gave the green light on doing the 30 for 30 episode?
When they did the twenty fifth anniversary piece, I was the only one who wouldn't do it. Even Imus did it. Bill Simmons said "I can't do this unless you do it" and I said "I'm not doing it for ESPN." He still keeps busting my chops about it because I did the 30 for 30 but didn't do his thing.
Plus the guys who did it I broke into the business with. Danny Forer and I worked together in 1983, and Ted Shaker was one of my first bosses at CBS. He ran the NFL Today. I've known those guys for thirty years so that also made it a lot easier.
JB: Watching that film reminded me of how important it is to create something unique. Now, the world is cluttered with content choices and cutting thru is harder than ever. What do you tell a young person who's starting out today and contemplating a path as a talk show host?
MF: It's easier to get on the air now than it ever was but it's also harder to break thru because there's so much noise and clutter. You have to have an opinion and a presence that cuts thru. It has to be real and yours. That's the key to success.
JB: In following your career, maybe I missed it, but I don't recall you ever being suspended for something you've said on the air. Some personalities today feel they've got to deliver opinions that generate headlines and rattle a few cages to stand out. By doing so though they can risk losing their job. What are your thoughts on the need to push the envelope to cut thru the noise?
I've always looked at my show as being a sports argument. It can be fierce and take the paint off the walls, but it's going to be based on something that happened on the field or something that has an impact on the team.
The guys who want to push it and get involved, stay out of a tragedy. A perfect example was the Roy Halladay situation and how it was discussed by the guys in Boston. That's not your business. You weren't there. You don't know anything about it. He has a wife and kids and cities that love him. Maybe he was reckless with his plane, but where do you get off thinking that's your business? That's a winless situation. There are times you have to stay out of stuff. You don't belong in other people's pain.
JB: Another area of the business which has changed has been the increase of political commentary in sports radio programming. Do you believe we're going to see more of this going forward?
People who voted for Trump saw him as success. He brands himself that way. He breaks across certain barriers because some people see him as having the life they wish they had. He has the pretty girl, the jet, the money, the fame.
We are so polarized now that everybody sticks to their own opinion and nobody wants to have a political conversation. That's made things much more agitated and tougher to get any consensus. There's no middle anymore. What we've seen leak into all of these shows is really the Trump factor more than a political factor.
JB: Let's talk about your own methods to hosting a successful program. How do you know when you've had a good or bad show?
You know when you're giving your audience a reason to stray. You won't hear my show go into seven topics in seven minutes. I focus my shows because I don't think you can move your audience all over the place.
It's even more of a challenge when I'm doing a live show. I don't ever give the audience a chance to chat among themselves. You never want to give the audience dead time during a live performance. That's deadly. They'll start talking to each other and then you'll never get them back. If you put an intermission in there, you're out of your mind. The show should never stop moving.
JB: I've noticed over the years that you haven't placed a strong emphasis on using production, sound or teasing. How come?
MF: The show is me. Some people need a lot of sound and bells and whistles. I don't use any of it. I don't even use music. You have to understand though what you have to do. That means handling all the transitions and segues. It's harder to do a show this way because it's a lot more work but it's something I believe in.
JB: As we look to the future, what would an induction into the radio hall of fame mean to you?
JB: Along those lines, 10-15 years from now when people look back on your run at WFAN, what do you want them to remember?
MF: I hope that they remember that during the time I was here I dominated. That's what I set out to do and I did that.
JB: What do you have planned for the final show?
The final show will just be me. I'm not letting anybody in the studio. I'm not doing any media that day. I even told my family to stay home and listen to it. I'm coming in, doing a show, talking to the audience, no guests, and then I'm getting up at 6:30 and leaving.
The last 10-15 minutes will probably just be me. I'm not going to script it. I'll have thought about it obviously but I'm just going to let it go and then that'll be it.

Fears grew Tuesday that the Ebola epidemic was spreading outside Africa after three more people were isolated in Spain following the infection of a nurse in a Madrid hospital.
The EU demanded answers about how the disease could have spread in Spain's most specialist unit treating Ebola where the nurse cared for two elderly Spanish missionaries who died from the virus after being flown home from west Africa.
Ebola has been raging there since the beginning of the year, with nearly 3,500 confirmed deaths so far.
Tests confirmed that the 40-year-old nurse is the first person to contract the virus outside Africa.
Doctors said her husband was at "high risk" and has been admitted to the La Paz-Carlos III hospital, where the nurse worked. Another "suspect case" — a man recently returned from abroad — is also being monitored there.
One of the nurse's colleagues, who has been suffering from diarrhoea, has also been taken in for observation.
Madrid's stock market fell on the news, with travel and tourism groups worst-hit. Shares in IAG, owner of the Spanish airline Iberia, tumbled more than six percent.
– Nurse ill for five days –
The infected nurse began to feel ill on September 30 while on leave after treating the two priests in the hospital's isolation unit. But she did not go to hospital until Sunday — five days later — complaining of a fever, government officials said.
She is now being treated in the same unit.
Health officials said they were trying to find out who she came into contact with, and were monitoring 30 people — including co-workers — for Ebola symptoms.
The infection also sparked questions about how safety procedures were applied when treating the two missionaries.
"People are freaked out," a cardiologist at the hospital told AFP. "We cannot understand how someone who was wearing a double protection suit and two pairs of gloves could have been contaminated."
She claimed Spain was not up to dealing with the hemorrhagic fever and questioned the decision to repatriate the missionaries.
The nurse had treated Spanish priest Miguel Pajares, 75, who was infected with Ebola in Liberia and died on August 12, as well as Manuel Garcia Viejo, 69, who was repatriated from Sierra Leone and died on September 25.
Pajares was the first patient in the current Ebola outbreak to be evacuated to Europe for treatment.
The nurse is believed to have contracted the virus six weeks later while caring for Garcia Viejo. Officials said she visited his room twice, once to clean him and then to collect material after his death.
The team that cared for the missionaries was closely monitored, they said.
The European Commission has written to the Spanish health ministry demanding an explanation, a Brussels spokesman said.
The case followed a wake-up call on Ebola from US President Barack Obama, who warned on Monday that "some large countries are not doing enough" to tackle the epidemic.
– 'Training not given' –
Elena Moral, leader of the CSIF-AGCM public workers' union, told Spanish public radio: "The precautionary measures that should have been taken were not effective. The necessary training was not given and we must find out who was responsible."
The head of primary healthcare for the Madrid region, Antonio Alemany, told a news conference that the nurse, who has no children, was in a stable condition but still had a fever.
News of her infection sparked renewed questions about Madrid's decision to repatriate infected missionaries from Africa. Critics said Spanish hospitals were not equipped to deal with Ebola.
"We are working to see if all the protocols which were established were strictly followed," Health Minister Ana Mato said.
"Spain follows all the recommendations of the World Health Organization."
The Ebola virus causes fever, muscle pain, vomiting, diarrhoea and sometimes internal and external bleeding.
It spreads through bodily fluids, and the only way to stop an outbreak is to isolate those who are infected. There is no vaccine, but one possible treatment, dubbed ZMapp, has been fast-tracked for use.
Ebola has caused 3,439 deaths out of 7,478 cases across five west African nations — Liberia, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Nigeria and Senegal — according to the latest WHO tally.
Patients have been treated for the disease in Europe and the United States, but until now all the cases stemmed from people who caught the virus in west Africa.
US health officials said a Liberian man diagnosed with Ebola in Texas had received an experimental drug called Brincidofovir, the first time the medicine has been used to fight the virus.
Also on Monday, the charity Doctors Without Borders (MSF) announced that a Norwegian employee had contracted Ebola in Sierra Leone and would be repatriated shortly.
Another MSF worker, a French nurse, caught the virus while volunteering in neighbouring Liberia but has been cured, the French government said, after being repatriated.
That has not stopped fear of the disease spreading however, with parents at a primary school in the Paris suburb of Boulogne-Billancourt refusing to let their children go to school because a pupil had just come back from Guinea, one the countries worst hit by the virus.

With Cinco de Mayo just around the corner, we've become inspired by the rich and bold culture of Mexico. To celebrate, we've created a colorful pompom and ribbon-embellished clutch that's sure to dazzle and delight all summer long. Rock it at a festival or bring it to the beach!
What You'll Need:
5 1/2″ Braided Band Imported Tassel
1. Position your trim in the arrangement you like. We used a mix of ribbon and jacquard, and placed them on the clutch horizontally.
2. Begin gluing your trim down. Start in the center and work outward.
3. Cut off any excess trim so that it does not hang over the edge of the clutch.
4. Glue the jumbo pompom trim around the perimeter of the clutch.
5. Add a tassel and pendant to the zipper. Use a jump ring to connect the tooth pendant if you cannot fit it through the zipper pull.

The playground at Ashtons school was transformed into a pumpkin patch last week.
The boys were so excited when they walked through the gates and saw all of the pumpkins, hay and scarecrows everywhere.
Weston was a little reluctant, but finally gave one of the pumpkins a hug.
We have been enjoying this great fall weather here in San Diego.
It's just cool enough for long sleeves, but we can still be outside and play in the sun.
We are looking forward to Halloween weekend at Sea World!
Happy Fall :)

Burley Bike Trailers
A wee while since we've had a bicycle trailer here, (such as the Evolution) so let's fill that void with Burley. An very apt 'beefy' brand name, just right for their Nomad model (pictured), which they reckon will cope with a whopping load of 100 lbs (45 kg). Having two wheels allows it to easily manage such mammoth capacity, Whereas other beasts of burden, like the equally useful but single wheeled BOB Yaks are only comfortable with about 70 lbs (32 kg). The Burley Nomad has a large, easy-to-access cargo space with a weatherproof cover, but if that room is not enough, you can add an additional rack above. Disassembles swiftly and packs away into optional carry bags for storage or carriage. Burley also do kids trailers as well as the Flatbed, (pic below) which is just like a utility 'pick up' for bikes, perfect for hauling odd sized and shaped loads. ::Burley Trailers

When a horse cribs, it grabs hold of an object with its mouth, particularly the top teeth, and pulls. The horse also appears to be swallowing/expelling air and the motion includes a grunting type sound. Cribbing is not the same thing as chewing wood. Many horses chew on wood but cribbing is characterized by the pulling motion and the audible grunting sound. It is uncertain exactly why horses crib. For years it was thought that horses were swallowing air and experiencing pleasure…now it is believed that the horse may be experiencing discomfort and is cribbing to relieve the pain. As you can see there are a wide range of thoughts on the subject.
Many other factors may play a part in cribbing such as stress, stalling, restricted access to food, lack of minerals or limited interaction with other horses…but there are horses who crib without any of these factors.
Although experts can't agree on the causes there are some side effects that are easy to observe. Some of the negative things associated with cribbing include: increased chance of colic, weight loss, and damage to the teeth. Cribbing is also the only vice I am aware of that is required to be disclosed when selling a horse at auction.
Check out this video of a horse that came through a rescue situation. The owner is unsure of the horses age because the damage to the teeth is extensive and the most common method of determining a horses age is by looking at their teeth…which is useless in this case. The horse is in good weight because it is fed soaked pellets for easy chewing. If caught early cribbing often be managed with a cribbing collar but this horse was well past that point when she entered the rescue.

Rap superstar Drake surprised fans at his 2017 OVO Fest on Monday (07Aug17) by inviting his former rival Tory Lanez onstage for a surprise collaboration.
The two artists had thrown subliminal jabs at one another in their songs over the past two years, before mutual acquaintances helped to bring the Toronto, Canada natives together to clear the air in May (17).
At the time, Drake shared a photo of the pair on Instagram, and hinted at the need for unity instead of rivalry in his caption, writing, "The city needs more of this and less of that".
On Monday, the Hotline Bling hitmaker made it clear their previous dispute was now firmly in the past as he introduced singer/rapper Lanez as a special guest at his eighth annual OVO Fest in Toronto.
"I want every young person in this building to look at what's happening on this stage and please take this as an example in your life," Drake urged the crowd. "I want you to understand something. You see, me and this guy right here, we had problems with each other. We had never even met each other. I met the man, and he's a great guy."
They then launched into Lanez's remix of Drake's Controlla hit.
There were further surprises in store for fans as Drake also welcomed French Montana, Rae Sremmurd, Migos, and Travis Scott to share the stage.
Other billed performers at the 2017 OVO Fest came from Drake's OVO Sound label artists Majid Jordan, Roy Woods, dvsn, and Baka.

Jesse Jackson has no shame..but a lot of guts. Four months ago, he
went on Fox News and forgot that the microphone/camera was running.
The "Reverend" Jackson said that he wanted to "cut his nuts off", referring
to Obama. Now, he's at the quickly growing Obama rally, looking to buddy
up to our President elect. Jesse is an embarassment to a growing number
of us in the African American community.

Well, I voted for McCain, and I have my reservations, but I also think Obama could turn out to be a great president. It certainly is a historical event.
If Obama is really smart, he will develop a close relationship with Bill, because Clinton has been there, and was a great president. Don't doubt for a moment that the neocons will not leave as many poison pills as they can to prevent Obama from succeeding. Obama is going to need all the help he can get to pull things together. The good thing is that pulling together valuable people does seem to be his strength.
Does this man have a single braincell left in his head?
He has the audacity to call himself an American civil rights activist and Baptist minister, and then talk like this?[edit on 5-11-2008 by ashamedamerican]
In the last days on the trail, he is finishing "Ghost Wars: The Secret History of the C.I.A., Afghanistan and Bin Laden," and taking an occasional glance at US Weekly. He reads at least two newspapers a day, vigilantly checks his BlackBerry for updates on early voting tallies and browses briefing books.
by Paul Laurence Dunbar1872-1906
Fling out your banners, your honors be bringing,
Raise to the ether your paeans of praise.
Strike every chord and let music be ringing!
Celebrate freely this day of all days.
Few are the years since that notable blessing,
Raised you from slaves to the powers of men.
Each year has seen you my brothers progressing,
Never to sink to that level again.
Perched on your shoulders sits Liberty smiling,
Perched where the eyes of the nations can see.
Keep from her pinions all contact defiling;
Show by your deeds what you're destined to be.
Press boldly forward nor waver, nor falter.
Blood has been freely poured out in your cause,
Lives sacrificed upon Liberty's alter.
Press to the front, it were craven to pause.
Look to the heights that are worth your attaining
Keep your feet firm in the path to the goal.
Toward noble deeds every effort be straining.
Worthy ambition is food for the soul!
Up! Men and brothers, be noble, be earnest!
Ripe is the time and success is assured;
Know that your fate was the hardest and sternest
When through those lash-ringing days you endured.
Never again shall the manacles gall you
Never again shall the whip stroke defame!
Nobles and Freemen, your destinies call you
Onward to honor, to glory and fame.

Happy Friday!
Fridays to me are for splurging on the medium iced Dunkins instead of the typical small, lunch-time take out, and 5:00 adult beverages (maybe this is why I haven't achieved that goal weight?!!?) and it's also for spending the day pouring over my favorite blogs between projects at work. Monday – Thursday I usually have two dedicated blog reading times, when I first arrive at work while I am eating my breakfast and just after lunch but on Fridays I like to reward myself for every task complete with a blog read or two!
I've been using bloglovin' for a little bit over a week and though for a while when google reader shut down I was drinking the #haterade for bloglovin' – I AM IN FACT LOVIN' IT NOW! (btw, did you know you can follow LWR on bloglovin'?) and thought I'd share a few of my favorite reads from this past week with you which all seem to have a wine theme to them, hmm….
Kath Eats Real Food (no, no not me!) – Wine Country Trip
Kath's a registered dietitian and blogger whom I've been following for some time now and recently she and her husband along with another couple headed to Sonoma for 4 days in wine country. I read her recaps of day 1 and day 2 earlier this week, this morning it was day 3 and that's when I knew I liked Kath – on day 3 they hired a driver for their wine touring and sampling. On the other days they had switched off who was the DD but on day 3 and took full advantage of their driver's (of Woody's Wine Tours) recommendations and clout in the tasting world getting private tastings and picnic lunches! I'd love to visit wine country some day and when I do I'll be searching the archives for Kath's recommendations!

The Wife in Training (again, not me – no where near being a wife) – Wine Wednesday
Let's first talk about how jealous I am that Lindsay goes on blates (those are blog dates for those non-bloggers out there) I need to meet some more Boston bloggers and make this happen in my life! Who better to understand your need for 50 photos and new experiences to write about than another blogger? Anywaysssss back to the point: Wine Wednesday. Dry whites are usually Lindsay's jam (her words, not mine) but girl stepped out of her comfort zone and tried a rose, a red blend, and a house cab-sav – why should you find this important? Because your taste-buds change people. I used to be a hater of all things with tomatos, refried beans anywhere near my mexican food, and white wine and guess what – my buds now love tomatoes on my burger, I had a scoop of refried beans with three meals this week (#singlegirlproblems when trying to finish the can yourself) and prefer pinot grigio over any reds (call me Ramona Singer if you want because its #turtletime).
I learned a thing or two about wines reading Lindsay's post too – like white zinfandel is made by mixing existing whites and reds and only started in the 1980's and that if I ever visit Forth Worth Texas I'm hitting up Times Ten Cellars, because c'mon how cute is this place (and is there something like this that I am unaware of in Boston?!!?)

Hosting & Toasting – Labor Day Weekend Trip
Alright, we will end off with Hosting & Toasting's Labor Day weekend trip to Newport, RI. This week she shared her sailing attire, her lounge style, her brunch attire, and her vineyard style. I've added all of the below, which she featured in these posts to my shopping wishlist on Pinterest! While in Newport Britney stayed at the Ocean Cliff Resort which is absolutely breathtaking and did a sip & sail package with 12 charters which seems like a must do for next summer!
What was your favorite blog post this week?
More importantly, whats your favorite type of wine?

I will be a senior this at the beginning of the 2010-2011 academic year, and couldn't be happier with the college I chose! the classes are tough, obviously, but its so worth it. I am a chemistry major and mathematics minor, and i don't need to go to some big expensive private school to learn alot, I'm getting it done right here!
To find more tips for prospective students, what to do for fun and whether this school is great for a particular type of student read the 80 reviews for University of Wisconsin-La Crosse
Curious about something that isn't answered here? Feel free to ask University of Wisconsin-La Crosse a question

This school is literally the best. It took me a week or two to realize this was the school for me but now I'm thriving. Ya'll need to come here.Read More
This university has amazing professors, a beautiful campus, and rigorous courses. In my first year, I felt challenged as a student to be successful and pursue a path of excellence. There are so many activities to do, even when not studying.Read More

The teachers are very helpful and will always help any student that is struggling because they want to see all of their students succeed.Read More
It's a great location, but it's not too exciting other than during Oktoberfest. Good for an average run-of-the-mill major, but not so much for a pre- track.Read More

This website is the very first stage of a site about the plants of Britain, based on a small number of species seen during a trip to England in June and July 2008. At this stage, content is very limited and the site should be thought of as presenting suggestions as to how an online flora might be created.
This beautiful species, the Common Cow-wheat, was found in a pine forest in County Durham.
The site uses the software written for the Flora of Zimbabwe site, with in fact, very few modifications. Plants are organised in a simple hierarchy of family, genus and species, based on a checklist of British species downloaded from the BSBI website in 2008. Individual records of each species are included and may be displayed using Google maps. As of today, Thursday, 16 August 2018, there are 196 species with records and we have images for 27 species.
|I would welcome any comments or corrections and specifically any ways in which the manner of presentation might be improved.

…in a post-Christian world and in an often post-Christian church it is imperative to point out with love where apostasy lies. We must openly discuss with all who will listen, treating all men as fellow men, but we must call apostasy, apostasy. If we do not do that, we are not ready for reformation, revival, and a revolutionary church in the power of the Holy Spirit. We are all too easily infiltrated with relativism and synthesis in our own day. We tend to lack antithesis. ~Francis Schaeffer, Death in the City (1969)
40 years later, Schaeffer's assessment as well as his warning might eerily be all the more apropos. While love can take on a thousand and one forms—love is never about accomidating lies and turning a deaf ear to truth—rather, love (the kind of love Jesus demonstrated) is commited to exposing lies and embracing the truth. And it makes sense, because lies bring every kind of bondage and the truth (what Schaffer called "true truth") is ever about setting people free.
