Happy New Years Quakes Fans!
As I look forward at the coming year of 2014, I could not be more excited and optimistic about the direction of the San Jose Earthquakes. 2014 is the 40th anniversary of the club and we have several huge time events that will celebrate and honor our heritage while charting our course for the next 40 years. These include the completion of our new stadium near the end of the year, the inaugural event, Quakes vs. Sounders FC, at Levi's Stadium on August 2, the California Clasico at Stanford Stadium and large scale World Cup viewing parties. To start off the festivities for the 40th birthday bash, we are re-launching the San Jose Earthquakes brand and unveiling a new logo that represents what this club is all about.
That is correct. We will have a new logo and brand identity for the 2014 season and beyond. It is no small undertaking to embark on a rebranding of any product. Rebranding a professional sports team brings with it even more challenges. You must balance the emotional connection that a team's mark has on fans as well as the community at large with the desire to create a new mark that better reflects the direction and identity of the club and the sport at the current time and into the future. This has been done well and very poorly.
When we studied other situations of pro sports teams re-branding, we realized that unless you can answer one key question then the rebrand is likely a mistake. The key question is "why?" Why change anything? We felt that we needed a good answer to that question before we could entertain moving forward with any type of rebrand.
So with that backdrop, we started a 14-month exploration of the brand identity of the San Jose Earthquakes. We hoped that by better understanding the way that various stakeholders viewed and experienced the club that we as a front office and the current curator of the brand could set the appropriate direction on a go forward basis.
What followed were scores of interviews, focus groups and primary research on the San Jose Earthquakes dating back to the club's origins in 1973-74. We spent time curating the items from History San Jose to learn more about the NASL era. Newspaper articles, programs, and even personal interviews with individuals like Milan Mandaric – the founder and initial owner of the Quakes – formulated our views on the early Quakes. Those same sources as well as other former players and long time fans provided great insight into the 1980s WSA Quakes as well as the rise and fall of the San Francisco Bay Blackhawks in the so called "middle ages" of US pro soccer.
The rich treasure trove of info extended into the MLS era starting with the impact of the 1994 World Cup on Bay Area soccer. We continued the primary research through conversations with members of the team from 2001-2005 when the team won two MLS Cups and a Supporters' Shield. We paid special attention to the feedback from fans about the Houston relocation and the strong community effort led by Soccer Silicon Valley to lobby for a new team here in San Jose with its history intact.
Fan and community input was especially important to this process from the beginning. The collective resolve and devotion of the fan base through numerous fits and starts as a club, including the terrible exile to Houston, was striking. The fact that fans were so devoted to the club in spite of these tragedies helped define what it means to be a member of Quakes nation.
Through this process, we made a very simple observation. The current mark and team brand identity did not properly reflect the values and heritage that the San Jose Earthquakes have here in our community dating back 40 years. This was a theme that many stakeholders from former players to supporters group members touched upon. It was at that point that we had an answer to our question of "why change anything?"
As the stewards of the Quakes brand and identity at this critical chapter in our club's history, we felt an obligation to re-unify the brand and team identity to better reflect our values of unity, devotion and heritage that so clearly presented themselves through the exhaustive and comprehensive process of reflection and enlightenment.
The end result of this journey is not just a new crest, but rather a reunification and rebirth of the Quakes nation. It is a mark that we can be proud of and can propel the club to greatness both on and off the field. It is our future and it is now.
I look forward to seeing you on January 30 at San Pedro Square Market, as we unveil the next step in our journey.

Cisco has launched products soleley for small companies as part of its recently announced $100 million (£69 million) commitment to the sector.
The products include security, storage and unified communications platforms designed to be inexpensive and easy to use for small businesses. They include:
- The Cisco Spam & Virus Blocker - an appliance intended to protect a business' network and data from viruses and malicious email attacks while mitigating spam.
- The Cisco NSS2000 and NSS3000 Network Storage Systems - desktop network-attached storage devices to secure and protect data and let employees share information.
- The Cisco Smart Business Communications System (SBCS) Release 1.4 - a collaboration and communications system that connects offices, employees and customers, and includes a wireless desktop IP phone with Bluetooth capabilities.
The products come from Cisco's newly formed Small Business Technology Group (SBTG), which is focused on developing technologies within six small/mid-size business priority areas: security, connectivity, productivity, remote access, customer interaction and customer support.
The Cisco Spam & Virus Blocker features one in 1 million false positive accuracy, Cisco says. Security updates are automatically sent from the company's email and web traffic monitoring network
It also includes a four-step installation wizard that installs the appliance within minutes for most networks, Cisco says.
The Cisco NSS2000 and NSS3000 storage devices let businesses automatically back up every version of every file from every PC and server, so that data can be easily restored. They store and archive digital files such as video from an IP video surveillance camera, and encrypt files to comply with growing regulatory and security requirements for customer and financial information such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, Cisco says.
Users can store up to 2TB of data using the NSS2000 2-Bay Gigabit Storage System chassis; and up to 4TB of data using the NSS3000 4-Bay Gigabit Storage System chassis.
The Cisco SBCS release 1.4 enables small businesses to connect telecommuters, mobile workers and employees in disparate locations to enhance their ability to communicate and collaborate with customers and colleagues, Cisco says. Release 1.4 includes the Cisco SPA525G Wireless IP Phone, which allows businesses to add phones in places where traditional phone lines or network cables are not present or can not be added.
Also in SBCS release 1.4 are the Cisco 520 Series Secure Router to give local and remote employees secure access to the Internet and business data; and the Cisco Configuration Assistant version 1.9 to allow partners to easily set up and deploy the system for customers.
The price for the Cisco Spam & Virus Blocker ranges from $2,600 to $5,400. The Cisco Network Storage Systems devices start at $595, and SBCS release 1.4 can vary in price depending on a business' specific needs.
The Cisco SPA525G wireless desktop IP phone is listed at $430.

Drunk Bachelor Star Given The Boot After Pooping Pants
A contestant on the US version of The Bachelor has been given the boot after going on a drunken rampage which ended with him pooping his pants.
Surprisingly enough, this wasn't Chad Johnson's first stint on the reality show.
The contestant first earned the title of 'villain' in the most recent series of The Bachelorette US.
But it was his antics while filming Bachelor In Paradise that really stole the show.
The 28-year-old was making out with fellow contestant Lace before things quickly turned sour.
As the pair began bickering, the ex-marine dropped the charm calling her a 'b****' before heading back to the living quarters were the real tirade began.
In a drunken rampage, he told the other contestants, "I'll murder everyone here. I'll kill your children and murder your family. Dolla, dolla bills, yo".
Eventually the alcohol truly takes over and the reality star passes out.
And poops his pants.
At least that's what his co-stars are claiming.
While you might all be thinking this is reality TV gold, it seems producers had had enough.
After an emergency meeting, the star was eliminated – but not before giving us one last tirade.
"You think this is all fun and games? This is my life," he threw at host Chris Harrison.
"You're going to sit here and try and make me look like a b***? F*** you, Chris Harrison. Come at me."
Chad has since taken to Twitter to apologise saying he "did make a mistake" but "what are you going to do?".
Let's be real, things got crazy last night. But whatever at least it was hilarious LOL #BachelorInParadise pic.twitter.com/Upw4QVlC3L— Chad Johnson (@realchadjohnson) August 3, 2016

to my low carbohydrate recipes website! I'm so glad you've stopped by, and I hope you'll find plenty to make you stay a while. You may be dieting, you may be lifestyling, you may be diabetic, but whatever your reason, low carb recipes are the answer. Through many trials and errors, and a good deal of life experience, I can honestly say that a low carb diet program is the only diet plan that really works for me.
I'd like to share with you my personal low carbohydrate recipes, as well as ones I've collected from various sources, and recipes I've modified to make low carb. Many of these will work with your Primal or Paleo food plans and all of them are diabetic friendly recipes.
For the most part, I like to find recipes that are naturally low in carbohydrates. This is food we ate before, things you don't think about being low carb, because they just are. So although I may occasionally modify, I'm less of an innovator and more about giving you delicious naturally low carbohydrate recipes, good old fashioned real food. These are the things I love most, simple, not time consuming, and delicious. I hope you enjoy what I have to share.
There's no need to starve yourself anymore. This is the weight loss program where you can eat real, whole, food! You don't have to be hungry. Believe me when I say I've tried it all, and not only do I lose best on a low carb diet, but I get to eat the best foods, too.
Hungry set me up to fail on every diet that I ever attempted...Here's a list of weight loss programs that didn't work for me.
There are many low carb plans out there, so I hope these low carbohydrate recipes will help all of you in your journey.
Again, I'd like to welcome you to my site! Please come on in for low carb recipes, tips, inspiration, and true stories.
Getting thin-deliciously,

|Winnebago County Sheriff's OfficeNews Media Release
|News Release Number 2010-038
Information: Grant Award From American Recovery and Reinvestment Act Justice Assistance Grant For StarCom21 Radios
|Date: 08/27/10
|Time: 9:00 AM
|Page 1 of 1
Narrative: Sheriff Richard A. Meyers is pleased to announce that the Winnebago County Sheriff's Office was recently awarded a grant in the amount of $290,420.00 from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) for the purchase of StarCom21 radios. This was a competitive grant process that was distributed through the Illinois Criminal Justice Authority. The Sheriff's Office received the highest funding in the State of Illinois. These funds will be used to purchase mobile radios for the department's operations vehicles to enhance interoperable communications throughout the region and State, both in day to day operations as well as for emergency situations. These are dual band radios which will allow deputies to communicate with the State Police, neighboring counties, and Rockford Police on the StarCom band, while maintaining our current communications configuration to communicate with all other agencies in our county who are operating on our current infrastructure. These radios also meet the narrow banding requirements set forth by the FCC which take effect 01/01/13.

Google Apps, including Gmail and Google Documents, suffered a disruption this morning.
Users took to Twitter and started complaining about downed services around 8:15 a.m. ET. Some also complained that Google's Status page, which is set up to offer information on outages and disruptions, wasn't reporting the issue.
At 8:58 a.m., though, Google made its first status report, noting that it was investigating reports of an issue with Gmail. Then 11 minutes later, Google reported that the issue was "affecting less than 0.007% of the Google Mail user base."
At 9:51 a.m., Google reported that Gmail had been restored for some users, and at 10:52 a.m., it said Gmail had been restored for all users.
However, the company's Apps Status Dashboard noted that Google Drive, Google Documents, Google Spreadsheets, Google Presentations and Google Groups all were disrupted, as well.
The Admin Control Panel reportedly suffered a total outage.
As of 11:15, all services are reportedly up and running again.
That may be bad news for anyone hoping that a Google Apps disruption would mean less work to do today.
"By the laws of the Internet, if Gmail AND Google Apps for Business are both down, we get the DAY OFF," tweeted @petershankman.
And @Gothamist had the same idea, tweeting: "Gmail down because of Google Apps, giving you airtight excuse to blow off work."
