Glasgow Hawks 51
Jed-Forest 14
IT took high-flying Glasgow Hawks only three minutes to get their first points on the board on Saturday before continuing to make easy pickings of struggling Jed.
Prop Steven Findley barged over for the opener, converted by Mike Adamson, who added a penalty soon after.
Jed had to rejig their backs after centre Robert Hogg left the field with a leg injury and Hawks went on to score another four tries in the first half – two from Haddon MacPherson and one each for Tom Steven and Tony Herron – for a 34-0 interval lead.
Things didn't get much better in the second half – Hawks opened the scoring after only four minutes. Steven once more proved to be a slippery customer when breaking through several tackles to score.
Jed got their chance to make inroads when Hawks made several changes to their line-up.
Ewan Scott managed to barge over the Hawks' line on the 47th and 60th minutes, with both scores being converted by Iain Chisholm.
Normal service resumed, however, and Hawks had the final say in the game when their replacement Callum Kerr scored on the 78-minute mark. On-form Adamson notched the remainder of his side's points with the boot.
Jed-Forest: R. McFarlane; D. Wallace, I. Chisholm, R. Hogg, D. Gobby; E. Scott, R. Goodfellow; G. Slorance, S. Raeburn, A. Croituru, J. Szkudro, G. Young, J. Rowley, J. Sudlow, M. Weekley. Subs: D. Grieve, M. Chisholm, J. Fraser, R. Miller, J. Field.

3/18/08 - 3/21/08 Ski Trip 2008
Gerlos Travel Blog› entry 268 of 347 › view all entries
For the second year in a row, I joined a group from work to go skiing in Gerlos, Austria. 15 of us in total this year, four cars. We left Eindhoven around 12:30 and arrived in Gerlos around 9:30 PM with stops for dinner, gas, etc. Also one big traffic jam en route just before Stuttgart as a car was on fire and the first fire trucks sent were stuck behind the traffic! I guess they finally sent another unit from in front and we eventually got moving again.
Same as last year, we stayed at the Hotel Mitterhof...I think the organizers pick this place as much for the proximity to the bars as anything else. We arrived, checked in and then met in the hotel for the first beer of the week, I was appointed treasurer and we headed off for Cin Cin next door.
As this is only my second time ever skiing, I opted-along with two others-for lessons. Unfortunately, due to a kids event on the hill, these were limited, but we lucked out and managed to snag a lesson for the morning. It was busier than usual due to the event, but I must say I did better this year than last year. Decided to go for lessons again the second day, and on the third day, I did my first official trail! Next year, beware (I'll be sure to bring my International SOS card!)
I'm not much of a sleeper, so managed a couple of nice early morning walks which is where most of the sleepy town pictures come from. The camera cannot due justics to the beauty of the early morning sun on the mountains.

Project Life | Week Forty-Seven
Welcome to Project Life | Week Forty-Seven.
First up this week I wanted to let you know that Becky invited me to be a part of her Creative Team which is pretty cool. As you can tell, I'm a big fan of this project and am looking forward to continuing to share my layouts here throughout 2012.
I'll be keeping up with Project Life throughout December even as my focus shifts to December Daily. Lots of stories and things to record over the next month - more than enough to keep both projects going.
I should have written something about how crazy I felt at the beginning of the week. Might go back in and add that - it was just a crazy-before Thanksgiving rush.
And yep, it took us 7 hours to drive to our destination (and it usually takes 4.5 - the traffic was insane).
White pen on the bottom left photo is a Sharpie Poster Paint Pen.
Lots of word phrase stickers on top of photos this week. I want to get a basket together (a la Lisa Trusdell) to keep those products I'm finding myself use most super accessible.
Anna's sweet little hand turkey. Love. He gets a page protector all by himself (I cut a few inches off the top of the page protector).
My sister-in-law sent out an email with the food details for the extended weekend. She's a good planner.
This is a sheet that came home with Simon from school that has the names of kids in his class in their own handwriting. A fun 4th grade memory.
A couple photos of Lucy and Anna and some words about their antics.
I like the idea of pulling out specific numbers to use from time to time - like the "7" and the "4.5" this week. It's a nice graphic addition highlighting a piece of the story.
Click on the images to link to the products.
Project Life is a product created by Becky Higgins. It can be anything you want it to be. The pieces used in my album are available here. If you live outside the US check Becky's site for more information on sources. View all my posts about Project Life here.

Beautiful and inspirational as always Ali. Can't wait to start December Daily. Thank you for your blog.
Love the turkey--we have the same one on the fridge right now. It's definitely going in PL because I can't resist saving anything that shows their growing hands!
It's great that you are going to be on the Higgins Tea. I bought the stuff for project Life for next year.
SEVEN hours in the car with two kids?! Awesome. One of my favorite things about this project is having a place to tuck that sweet little turkey and other art my son brings home from preschool.
I always look forward to seeing all your PL posts. You are such an inspiration. Where in the world did you find those cork looking numbers? LOVE! Thanks so much!Reply 3 Replies
They are from Close To My Heart and I love them! I forgot to add them to the supplies.
For Ali's Canadian fans, here is a Canadian consultant:
Denise (from Ali's link) was kind enough to send me Brandy;s information as I love the cork numbers!! Both she and Brandy were incredibly helpful!!
jennifer olson
project life is so fun to work on
i'm going to get more project life too
soon i need 4 project life alubms
As usual more great pages to inspire me. Thank you so much. But, have you noticed that a mention in your blog can create a supply shortage? Hmmm... Guess I'm going to have to get really creative.
Great layout! I hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I see you went to see Breaking Dawn. I did too! It was so good! Did you like it?
your SIL and i would get along famously, i figure. :)
thanks for the project life inspiration!! I finally got the photos up of my pl and I've been able to keep up with it for 8 weeks now. You've been perfect inspiration. The only thing I've had issues with is finding stickers to put on photos to be able to date and journal. I've been trying to shop locally, but I may need to check your links online!! Thanks Ali :)
love this! anna is so precious!! and simon is getting so tall!!
Sigh. I just love handprint crafts. Such a tangible reminder of little fingers and palms later on. <3
Love seeing a glimpse into your life each week! I bought PL but have fallen off the wagon over time. Love how you journal straight on your pictures and I love Sharpies! I find myself going into Office Depot just buying random colors just to increase my selection! Will that Sharpie Paint not ruin your picture? I will have to grab some of those next time. Happy Holidays to you!!!
Always love looking thru your photos + process! Thanks for sharing. You belong on her team!! (didn't notice you with long hair! Pretty!!)
Really love all of your PL layouts. Its great that you will be on Becky's team. This has been my first year with PL and I'm planning on doing it again in '12. I plan on doing a weekly recap as you have been doing instead of one picture each day. Thanks for the inspiration.
so beautiful Ali. you just do everything with such class!
This was my very first post from you that I received through my email, what an awesome way to start the day! I went on over to Amazon to buy my starter kit so I can start following along! Can't wait for the December daily to begin! Thanks Ali!
Ali, love your Project Life tips & techniques. Could you do a short tutorial on how you blurry out images? I need to learn how to do that! Thanks so much!
Just found this cute little tech printer - perfect for Project Life!!
It is brand new and I know that you Ali and the rest of folks who blog, scrapbook, etc will probably be all over this gadget!!
It is a mini printer that prints out receipt size info like news, posts from blog, twitter updates, etc.
For more see:
Hi Ali - looks like you all enjoyed a great Thanksgiving (that's what it's all about, right?)! Just wanted to say hi and tell you that I so look forward to seeing your PL each week. I feel sorta funny saying that, since I'm not posting my own and probably won't next year on a consistent basis, but you've helped me see this is totally do-able and I'm so happy I've stuck with the project in 2011. I'm doing a 8.5x11 album with one 9-up page protector each week next year. Making my own week # cards w/the dates. Great way to use on-hand supplies! I found I was most into collecting pieces of paper this year and using my mini instax for photos, so I think this smaller format will be a better fit for me. What I most love is the "equalization" of memories/stories with this format. Looking back, a trip to the grocery story is just as worthy as going to Italy. So cool! Thanks for your inspiration. . .and tomorrow is Dec 1 (I started on Nov 25 and am already a bit behind ;)
When I saw the photo of Lucy it reminded me so much of a photo of you when you were young. I think you shared it in your Yesterday & Today course. Can you see a resemblance?
I love your project life book and daily album for December. You are so very talented! I would love to try to do the project life book for 2012, but am a BEGINNER. I get a bit overwhelmed when I see your book by the detail and also imagining the cost of all the supplies. I am wondering if you have a BASIC BEGINNER list of what is needed to start. I need a starting point and could use the help. If it is already on your blog somewhere can you point me to it? Sorry to leave this in your comment section, but I would love the help! Thank you!!
i adore the cork numbers!! funny, i just dug a cork alpha out of my stash and threw it w/ my PL stuff. =)
and ugh on the drive... last year we spent 11hrs en route to MPLS - usually 6-7. SO glad to stay home this year!!
[...] Ali Edwards announced this week that she is a part of the 2012 Project Life creative team. The team page shows nine crafters, all of whom will be sharing their Project Life albums on a regular basis in 2012. For those who participate, this looks like a great resource for encouragement and inspiration. [...]

As I mentioned in my last WIWW post, I was excited to try out a couple new patterns from Indie Sew's Fall Collection.
In fact, I was so excited that on a Friday evening when I should have been doing 20 things other than sewing, I decided to whip up The Lane Raglan (by Hey June) with knits I had leftover from sample sewing.
{Laguna Jersey Emerald Chevron Knit Fabric / Laguna Jersey Heather Pepper Knit Fabric by Robert Kaufman}
They would not have been my first pick, but honestly, they sewed up beautifully and the pattern just keep growing on me.
I pieced the pattern, cut out the shirt and SERGED {yes, I did used my serger for the entire shirt} it together in just under an hour and a half. My second one … oh yes, I've already made a second, but it was not without some fabric difficulties, so more on that one soon … took about an hour to create.
{Trying out my serious face with my photographer (aka my husband).}
I cut out a size Medium and after washing it {I did not pre-wash … rebel … don't worry, it came back to bite me in the you-know-what with my second one} it was a perfect fit. It even fit my extra long monkey arms.
I'm not sure what it is that I love about the shirt so much … the cuffs and waistband, the comfy fit … all of it.
{If you're going to leave your phone in your pocket for photos, make sure it matches!}
And … because it's such a basic pattern, there are all sorts of possibilities for easy modification/customization.
I've got fabric for two more t-shirts, a sweatshirt & a blouse.
That would put me at (6) versions … I guess I better plan out one more so I can have a week of Lane Raglans!

What are the similarities and differences among the three major structural forms of municipal government?
- print Print
- list Cite
I would argue that there are actually four major structural forms of municipal government in the United States. I will include all four in this answer. Please check your textbook or your class notes to see which three your instructor considers to be "major."
These four forms are 1) council-manager, 2) council-mayor with a weak mayor, 3) council-mayor with a strong mayor, and 4) commission. I would say that the first three of these are the major forms because they are the most common. However, some people (as in the link below) would put the two council-mayor systems together as one form and include the commission form. I would not include the commission form because it is so rare in the United States.
All of the forms of government are basically democratic. This is their most important common characteristic. The other main important similarity is that, in all of these forms of government, the legislative function of the city is performed by a city council. So, all of these types of government have a city council that is elected by the people and which is in charge of passing laws for the city.
The major differences between the forms have to do with the executive branch of government. In the council-manager system, the chief executive is an appointed city manager. That person is in charge of administering city government. They do not have a role in the legislative process (no veto power), but they are in charge of running the city. In the weak mayor system, the council has a great deal of power over the executive branch. It, rather than the mayor, typically has the power to appoint and remove heads of city departments. The mayor generally has very little power and may be something of a figurehead. In a strong mayor system, the mayor really is the chief executive. The mayor often has veto power over laws and is responsible for running the executive branch. In the commission system, there is no chief executive. Each member of the council typically serves as the head of one or more of the departments of city government.
Thus, all of these forms of government are democratic and have a city council with legislative powers. The differences lie in the nature of the executive branch.

Lessons in Deep Listening
Deep Listening Lesson 1: Stop talking so much!
This is the simplest and fastest change you can make to become a more skilled listener. In conversations with others, we can directly observe who's doing most of the talking. If it's someone else that's a good start.
However, if we are talking a majority of the time, there are practices we can do to shift the balance toward listening more. The first thing is to notice ourselves talking and not listening. With this awareness, a number of options become possible. First of all, we now have the choice to decide to stop talking. There are many ways to accomplish this. We can ask questions such as: "What are your views?" "What's on your mind?" "I'm interested in your thoughts on the matter. Please say more."
There are additional methods for passing conversations over to others. Smiling or nodding encourages others to talk. You can make a direct invitation for others to speak by saying something like, "I have been doing most of the talking; I'll stop now and listen." The possibilities for gracefully shifting from speaking to listening are limitless. Make up any that you feel comfortable with and practice using them.
Becoming a skilful listener starts first with the intention to talk less and listen more. Learning to stop talking so much and to listen is a powerful step in loving ourselves and other people. In a world full of talkers, a skilful listener shines like the Hope Diamond.
Remember that we have two ears and only one mouth. So we are meant to listen twice as much as we talk!
Practice for the next few days:
Identify someone with whom you often do most of the talking. Now get really interested in them. Try to swing the balance toward them talking more.
Deep Listening Lesson 2: Don't interrupt unnecessarily!
Many times as we're listening to another person, the things they say will emotionally activate us in some way. Their words may trigger excitement, sadness, fear or some other strong feelings in us. Such feelings can generate an uncontrollable impulse to speak, to override what the other person is saying in order to relieve our own internal pressure. This is an impulse that's important to limit on the road to becoming a more skilful listener.
When we cut people off in mid-sentence or interrupt by finishing their thoughts out loud for them, we're being disrespectful, and we could be harming our health! Dr. Paul Pearsall, the author of The Last Self-Help Book You'll Ever Need wrote: 'Stop expressing, representing, and asserting yourself. Shut up and listen. Research shows that people who interrupt are three times more likely to die of a heart attack than those who don't, and that (relationships) usually fail because of too much communication, not too little.'
When we interrupt, the message we send to the speaker is: 'What I have to say is more important that what you have to say. It's so important that I can't contain myself enough to let you finish.' By learning to hold our tongue in daily interactions with people, and becoming genuinely curious about what others are saying, we greatly improve our listening skills and possibly our health.
I've seen that not only do masterful listeners not interrupt, they are in no hurry to speak even after the other has finished speaking! This gives people time to reflect and sometimes they find they have more to say. They feel that the other is really listening and their words now come from a deeper part of themselves. This spaciousness in conversation shows respect and interest in the other's story and is a great gift we can give each other.
Practice for the next few days:
Pay attention to how frequently you and other people interrupt one another in everyday communication. Take steps to reduce your own pattern of interrupting others. Try counting to ten in your mind after the person has finished speaking before adding your own comments. You might be surprised at how restraining the impulse to interrupt and speak helps deepen the connection.
Deep Listening Lesson 3: Create an atmosphere of trust
Communication that meaningfully connects people can only occur when trust exists. A good listener works consciously to build trust. This means acting in ways that puts others at ease instead of on guard. A good listener displays a genuine concern for the comfort and well-being of others. This significantly reduces the various psychological defences that people habitually erect.
What is the most effective way to establish trust? It is to be genuinely trustworthy! Trustworthy people rarely betray trust. When your central concern is for the safety and well-being of yourself and others, often there's nothing special that needs to be done. Many people intuitively sense this authentic orientation.
Although we all like to think we are trustworthy, sometimes old patterns shaped by early life events can cause us to allow unconscious needs to prevent us from fully concerning ourselves with the care and wellbeing of others. This can also keep us from loving and accepting ourselves as well.
If genuine trust is to be established, we must first learn to have compassion for ourselves, and to trust ourselves. Then creating an atmosphere of trust even in situations where people are skeptical of our intentions will be second nature to us. The warmth from our heart will melt all the wax walls that separate us!
Practices for the next few days:
1) Reflection: Who are the people you feel safe enough to tell your deepest truths to? List the qualities they have that contribute to creating that feeling of trust and safety. From this list of qualities choose one thing you can begin to do to move in the direction of being someone others deeply trust.
2) Self compassion: Every morning smile back at yourself in the mirror and say these words aloud a few times...
"(Your name), I love and approve of you just the way you are!"
"(Your name), no matter what you've done or what you've left undone, you are worthy of love".
"I love you (your name), I really love you!"
For some people this may be difficult to say at first. But before long it will feel true and self-evident. Please persist!
Deep Listening Lesson 4: Learn to recognize and overcome disrespect
Can you think of the last conflict or disagreement you had with someone? Whether or not you can clearly recall what it was about, it's likely that you can recall how you felt. This is because the seeming cause of many conflicts – the un-kept promises, the misunderstandings or the missed appointments – is not really what's at the heart of the matter.
Whenever there is a conflict, there is something subtle that takes place. Many people know they feel upset, or angry, but they fail to realize that it's because deep down they're feeling disrespected. Disrespect is a tricky emotion. A speaker can feel disrespected even though the listener might not feel they are being disrespectful!
So what is a skilled listener to do if disrespect can be easily triggered, but not easily identified?
A skillful listener looks and listens for signs of another person feeling disrespected. Some common signs are expressions of anger or sarcasm, verbal attacks, hostile body language, or refusing to communicate. A skillful listener inquires about these observations and asks if disrespect is an issue. He permits the speaker time to think about their true feelings. This allows room for feelings of disrespect to be identified. Once disrespect has been identified, the listener can move forward to work towards a solution or make any amends that may be necessary.
Skilful listeners know that when a win-win solution is not achievable, they can still agree to disagree. Ultimately the quality of our relationships is more important than specific outcomes. Why? Because an outcome is a one-time affair, whereas a relationship lasts a long time. Even when we disagree on some issue, we do not need to be disrespectful.
Practice for the next few days: Listen for clues in the conversation that indicate you or others may be feeling disrespected. Notice or just ask if disrespect is an issue. Once this is identified, many creative possibilities become available for authentically addressing and resolving these evoked feelings of disrespect. With a basis of respect, people generally calm down and coming to an agreement becomes more workable.
Deep Listening Lesson 5: Listen for common purpose
After disrespect (lesson 4), the second cause of most conflicts is a lack or a loss of common purpose. Until mutual purposes can be identified or reaffirmed, very few conflicts will ever be readily resolved.
Even enemies, by virtue of their common humanity, will have certain common purpose, i.e., the need to survive, thrive, to connect, be respected, and ultimately to be loved and leave a legacy. What 'enemies' are often in conflict over, especially in business and personal relationships, are the best ways to get such needs met.
If respect can be developed between people working at odds, then a foundation will exist for exploring and/or re-establishing common purpose. Differences may still exist, but the possibility for coming to agreement is significantly enhanced if mutual respect and common purpose are identified and set solidly in place.
Listening for common purpose then, is done by first hearing all the ways people are working at cross-purposes. A skilful listener then listens for the places where mutual purpose might be hiding in the conflict. By focusing on mutual respect and mutual purpose, a skilful listener will be addressing the things that can constructively make conflict resolution a possibility.

Today, it's practically a given that the continuo part in 17th century Italian instrumental chamber music will be doubled by a bowed bass (or other bass) instrument. Is there any evidence to support this practise?
In 17th century Italian music, the continuo instrument is often unspecified, but where it is specified (for example in the books of Castello) it is the organ, and where another instrument is suggested it is the harpsichord, or spinetta.
Whilst I don't think it sounds bad to have multiple continuo instruments accompanying a sonata, I have never found any evidence to support this approach. It's clear from surviving music that the most common continuo instrument for 17th century Italian chamber music was the organ. There is no evidence to suggest that the continuo (keyboard) part was doubled by any other instrument – this includes the theorbo!
I think it's fundamentally wrong to, lacking any evidence, simply assume that the continuo part was doubled by any other instrument. Nonetheless, this has become an accepted part of modern practice. And it pisses me off. We shouldn't just accept earlier assumptions about historical performance and that what we hear on recordings to be historically correct!
I feel that doubling the continuo part gives it undue importance for this repertoire. The continuo parts rarely if ever contain thematic material, rather serve to support the solo parts. As a continuo player myself, I know this is no 'minor' role, but nor should it have too much attention drawn to itself.
Ok, enough already. If it is the case that the continuo part was not doubled, when is it appropriate to use a bowed bass instrument? The answer I believe is simply: When there is an obbligato bass part.
Obbligato Bass Parts
There are TONS of sonatas with obbligato bass parts from the 17th century. Frescobaldi (amongst others) even writes sonatas with more than one obbligato bass part. Fontana is good example – he lists the cornetto and violin as possible soprano instruments and the bassoon, theorbo and 'violino' as potential bass instruments for his sonatas. These bass instruments should only play when there exists a part for them, they are not mentioned or intended to be 'continuo' instruments. In fact, no mention of any continuo instrument is made, and we can assume this to be the organ, or harpsichord.
The Role of the Theorbo
This is another article in itself, but I'd like to mention here that the theorbo isn't suggested as a continuo instrument for instrumental music in Italy at all in the first half of the 17th century. (There are 2 exceptions, which in fact aren't really exceptions… Rossi and Marini, where the theorbo is listed as the only bass instrument [ie. without organ]. Here however the theorbo part is both a continuo and obbligato part, equal to the other solo parts). However, the theorbo is mentioned as an obbligato bass instrument by many composers of the period including Frescobali, Uccellini, Marini, Turini, Corelli, Sanmartini, Pittoni, Cazatti, Cavalli, Guierierro etc. etc. It seems clear to me that the theorbo, whilst an unlikely continuo instrument for this repertoire, was frequently employed as an obbligato bass instrument.
For what it's worth
My advice: Don't use a bowed bass (or any other bass instrument, including the theorbo) unless there is an obbligato bass part. If you have a group with theorbo, organ and violone, find a sonata with 2 obbligato bass parts, or take it in turns to play sonatas with obbligato bass parts.
I must stress that my ramblings refer only to 17th century Italian instrumental chamber music. We shouldn't apply the same rules to secular vocal music for instance, where the theorbo was a hugely popular continuo instrument and the organ was seldom used.
Violone: 8 foot or 16 foot?
Finally – 'violone' is a really confusing term that meant different things at different times in different places. However, we can be pretty darn sure that for 17th century chamber music – including and especially for music by Biber and Schmeltzer – that 'violine' implies a bass instrument that plays at 8 foot pitch. Bibers' battallia for instance has 2 'violine' parts, each clearly intended for an instrument that plays at 8 foot pitch. I have no doubt that 16 foot instruments existed at this time, but their role in chamber music is doubtful at best.
In short, if historical accuracy is your bag, I recommend not doubling the keyboard part, if not – happy doubling!

My previous post in the corporate venture capital (CVC) series provided a broad historical perspective on the sector. In this post I review important lessons learned by CVCs that have been operating for many years and several economic cycles and best practices being used by newer CVCs. The lessons in this post would be of value to CVCs looking for best practices and corporate leaders whose companies have already established venture organizations or are considering doing so as part of enabling innovation.
Corporate Venture Capital's Role in Innovation Part 4: Setting Up a CVC Organization
In the previous post I introduced a five-dimensional framework to employ while setting up a corporate venture group and discussed in detail two of its dimensions: strategy and people. The corporation must establish a long-term strategy for its venture group. As part of this strategy it must create a set of objectives, formulate an investment thesis, decide on the stage of the target investments, the life of each fund, and the amount per investment. Recognizing that venture investing is a peoples business, the CVC must pay particular attention in hiring well. A CVC group may have up to six different teams depending on the scope of its activities and overall strategy. Next I will present the three additional dimensions: the incentives to offer to the members of the corporate venture group, generating the right deal flow to achieve the group's strategy and satisfy its investment theses, and guidelines for the CVC group's governance.

In the first part of the series on corporate venture capital I explored how the disruption of institutional VCs (IVCs) and the imperative for corporations to innovate provide an opportunity to corporate VCs (CVCs) to make their mark in the startup ecosystem and be viewed as viable and valuable financing sources to private companies. In the second part I provided more context on CVCs by presenting a brief history of corporate venture capital, and detailing the characteristics of CVCs during the dot-com period and today. In this blog I discuss when corporations should be establishing venture funds, I introduce a framework for creating venture funds and discuss two of the dimensions in this framework.
Corporate Venture Capital's Role in Disruptive Innovation Part 2: Will the Big Numbers Result In Big Success this Time?
I started writing these posts with the hypothesis that in their effort to innovate, corporations must re-invent the traditional R&D model with one that augments the R&D efforts with venture investments, acquisitions, strategic partnerships and startup incubation. Corporate VCs (CVCs) are expected to play a big role in this innovation quest. It is assumed that a CVC can move faster, more flexibly, and more cheaply than traditional R&D to help a corporation respond to changes in technologies and business models. With that in mind corporations are establishing such groups in record numbers, including corporations from industries that have not traditionally worked with venture capital. Corporations have been providing their venture organizations with significant size funds to manage, and expect them to invest in companies of various stages and geographies. Today's CVC prominence can result in many advantages for entrepreneurs and co-investment partners but also carries risks, many of which are due to the way CVCs are set up and operate within the broader corporate structure. In the last blog I examined how the disruption of institutional VCs (IVCs) can impact corporate VCs. In this blog I start taking an in-depth look of corporate VCs. I will examine the different types of corporate VCs, compare the characteristics of today's corporate venture groups to the characteristics such groups had in the late '90s, and describe the areas where CVCs must focus on in order to succeed. In the next blog I will provide some ideas on how to best set up a CVC organization based on my work with such organizations to date.
Additional Considerations for Corporate Incubators and Accelerators
In my last post I wrote about corporate incubation/acceleration models, presenting four distinct ones, discussed how to start one of these organizations, and how to increase the value derived from them. In this blog I provide additional details on the topic by:
- Presenting the criteria and guidelines a corporation should use to start an incubator or accelerator. This is particularly appropriate for corporations that are thinking about starting an incubator or accelerator, or have just started one,
- Discussing what the corporation could do with successfully incubated projects, e.g., whether to integrate them to a business unit, or let them operate independently. This is particularly appropriate for corporations that have started an incubator or accelerator and now considering how to be utilize the incubated efforts.
This is a long post, not unlike the previous one. I felt that it was important to provide a comprehensive view on corporate incubators and accelerators with two posts rather than creating a longer series, even though I recognize that the approach may tax at least some of the readers. For this I apologize in advance.
Using Corporate Incubators and Accelerators To Drive Disruptive Innovation
Corporations are establishing incubators, e.g., Samsung, and accelerators, e.g., Orange, in order to advance their disruptive innovation initiatives. They are doing so on their own, e.g., Samsung, Swisscom, or in partnership with independent accelerators, e.g., Disney, Microsoft, and Barclays have partnered with Techstars. The terms "incubator" and "accelerator" are frequently used interchangeably to denote an organization that aims at helping very early stage startups, or even just teams in the process of considering the creation of a startup, get off the ground successfully. They do that typically in exchange for a small equity percentage in each startup. This blog addresses the role of corporate incubators and accelerators in disruptive innovation, rather than the general topic of startup incubation that has been covered extensively elsewhere. It presents:
- Four different corporate incubation/acceleration models.
- The steps necessary for establishing and maintaining one of these organizations.
- A process to help corporations increase the value and success rate they derive from their incubation/acceleration initiatives.
IBM-Apple Deal: Mobile Enterprise Applications
On July 15 IBM and Apple announced an exclusive partnership. There are several components to this partnership that have been addressed elsewhere (here and here) but of most interest was the commitment to develop 100 industry-specific mobile analytic applications for the enterprise. As I had written, the broad adoption of smartphones and tablets by employees, customers and partners, combined with a BYOD strategy, is driving corporations to rethink their enterprise application strategies. They are starting to mobilize existing applications and embrace a mobile-first approach for the new applications they are licensing or developing internally. Analytics-based insight-generation applications represent a major category of these new applications. Recognizing this trend, I and many other venture investors, have been aggressively funding startups that develop mobile enterprise applications.

I was emailed recently by a website, trying to promote its developed graphic. The graphic is quite large, but I include it below.
I know, a huge image – a lot to take in. But it makes a number of very interesting points; points about how the internet and social media influences people, whether it's changing minds or just reminding people to vote. It sounds a little depressing to say, but compared to the number of people who use social media, the number who vote is substantially less. Obviously, this graphic uses US research, but I would imagine the same is true of the UK, we're not that dissimilar in culture.
Just think what might change if all those young people voted! Particularly in Northern Ireland, where admittedly I don't vote because I have no faith in our politics. How many more like me, who feel disenfranchised? How many, who banded together would change the vote entirely?
It's making me re-think my own policy of abstention. Maybe it will yours, if that is your way. If you already do vote, well I guess you should note how well you influence others, purely by talking about it amongst your friends. And personally, I'm hoping that come 6th November, the USA will act as the social media predicts – and re-elect Obama.
Peace, out!
– Matt

Diane Corcoran, R.N., Ph.D., is a retired army colonel and president of the board of the International Association for Near-Death Studies, an international resource and support organization for people who have had near-death experiences, or who want to understand and support friends or family members who have had them.
Corcoran became interested in near-death phenomena in 1969, as an army field nurse in Vietnam, when injured soldiers first started telling her about them. This was before Dr. Raymond Moody wrote his classic book, Life After Life. Corcoran commanded a hospital unit for a short time in the 1970s, one of the few female officers to do so prior to the 1990s. Promoted to the rank of captain in 1976, Corcoran was the chief nurse at the 86th Combat Support Hospital (CSH) at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, and was later appointed commander of the 86th CSH ahead of the traditional Medical Service Corps (MSC) officer. She left to pursue her doctorate at the University of Texas at Austin and to continue her interest in near-death phenomena—particularly as experienced by soldiers and by children.
Corcoran is a contributor to When Ego Dies: A Compilation of Near-Death and Mystical Conversion Experiences and the lead investigator in the Combat Veteran NDE Project. She consults and speaks widely on near-death experiences, appropriate hospital and hospice care support, and a variety of related topics. —Leslee Goodman
The MOON: What is a "near-death experience"?
Corcoran: A "near-death experience," or NDE, is a term that came from the work of Dr. Raymond Moody, a psychiatrist, who, while in medical school, was struck by the similar experiences reported by patients who'd undergone cardiac arrest and seemed to have traveled out of their bodies. He called these phenomena "near-death experiences," since the patients didn't die; they "came back."
Further research revealed that it wasn't just cardiac arrest patients who had these experiences. Many others undergoing traumatic injury, an accident, near-drowning, illness, or even severe emotional stress, also reported many of the same profound psycho-spiritual experiences.
There are about fifteen characteristics associated with near-death experiences and not everyone who has an NDE has all of them. In fact, a person might only experience two or three of them. Nevertheless, an NDE is so profound that it irrevocably changes an experiencer's life. The characteristics include a feeling of floating out of one's body, looking down on their body and perhaps on resuscitation efforts, entering a tunnel, moving towards a bright light, experiencing intense colors and music, being met by others—who might be people they've known, or spiritual beings such as Jesus, or Buddha, or even someone unknown that the experiencer describes simply as "God" or "an angel."
Another powerful characteristic is the sense of being unconditionally loved and at peace, even though they might also undergo a "life review" during which they realize the negative effect their actions have had on other people. For example, if you were a bully or hurt people, you would experience the pain you inflicted, yet without the sense of being judged. You would now just understand how it felt. Many people also report a "boundary" or "border," which they know if they could cross they wouldn't have to come back. There is often an unwillingness, or reluctance, to return to their bodies, but experiencers are frequently told they have to return because they're not "done" yet. As a nurse, I would often wonder why people were angry at being resuscitated, but now I understand. Once you separate from the body, you feel no pain. I also understand that they "came back," not so much as the result of our efforts, but because there was a higher power at work.
People also say that they were in a place where all knowledge exists. If you want to know anything, you just have to ask the question in your mind and receive the answer. Many people also describe a beautiful city of lights. The experience seems timeless. They have no idea whether it lasts moments or years.
There are also people who have near-death experiences—say, during a head injury—and do not remember any of the experience. They'll experience the after-effects, however, so we'll have to deduce afterwards that this is what happened to them.
The MOON: What do you mean, "after-effects"?
Corcoran: There are a variety of them. Some are physical—for example, many NDE experiencers have low body temperatures. The normal human body temperature is 98.6 degrees, but an NDE'rs might be two or three degrees cooler. They also frequently have changes to their electromagnetic fields which make them unable to wear battery-powered watches—the batteries die; the watches don't work. They sometimes have trouble with computers—they shut down, or act buggy. One woman I know walks into a room and the lights flicker. Experiencers are often either acutely sensitive to chemicals and/or medications—or the opposite, standard doses of medication have little effect on them.
Experiencers often "come back" with skills or abilities they didn't have before—a heightened sense of intuition is common, as are healing abilities, and an increased sensitivity to the world around them. Virtually all have experienced "the oneness," the profound sense that we are all connected—to each other and the natural world. Some have the ability to hear colors, or see music. They also come back with information, a clarity about their life's purpose. Many take up new interests, often in spiritual pursuits. They typically become more altruistic, more loving, less materialistic; they no longer want to hold on to grudges. Most of all, they want to tell you about the love. That life is about love. And most of them no longer fear death.
Although these after-effects might seem positive to us, they often create disruptions in the lives of experiencers themselves. Imagine you are a soldier who comes back from a near-death experience and now you can't stand violence, bright lights, or loud noises. You get choked up just hearing a bird sing. Obviously, you are no longer suited to being in combat. This can become a real problem for their families, because now the experiencer has different values and goals.
One man drove four hundred miles to talk with me and he said, "There's something wrong with me. I can't watch television. I cry at commercials. I used to love boxing, but I can't watch it anymore. There's just so much violence and commercialism everywhere. There's nowhere I can go to be at peace."
As I mentioned, some people meet a superior being during their NDE. If they are Buddhist, they're more likely to see Buddha than Christ, but even people who are atheist, or agnostic, will often report meeting someone they recognize as a superior spiritual being. They might call them "the Light that was God," or "an angel," or even say, "I spoke to God." They may be told by this superior being that it is not "their time" yet; they must go back. They also may come back with a clearer idea of their purpose in this lifetime.
The MOON: You're trained as a healthcare professional. I wonder how you respond to the controversy that has surrounded, for example, Dr. Eben Alexander's book, Proof of Heaven, which several reporters have "debunked."

These transporters affect the distribution and clearance of many endobiotics and xenobiotics and have been reported to have functional single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). We have assessed the substrate specificities of these transporters for a panel of antiretrovirals and investigated the effects of SNPs within these transporters on the pharmacokinetics of lopinavir. Methods SLCO1A2, SLCO1B1 and SLCO1B3 were cloned, verified and used to generate cRNA for use in the Xenopus laevis oocyte transport system. Using the oocyte system, antiretrovirals were tested for their substrate specificities. Plasma samples (n=349) from the Liverpool therapeutic drug monitoring registry were genotyped for SNPs in SLCO1A2, SLCO1B1 and SLCO1B3 and associations between SNPs and lopinavir plasma concentrations were analysed. Result Antiretroviral protease inhibitors, but not non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors, are substrates for OATP1A2, OATP1B1 and OATP1B3. Furthermore, ritonavir was not an inhibitor of OATP1B1. The 521T>C polymorphism in SLCO1B1 was significantly associated with higher lopinavir plasma concentrations. No associations were observed with functional variants of SLCO1A2 and SLCO1B3. Conclusion These data add to our understanding of the factors that contribute to variability in plasma concentrations of protease inhibitors. Further studies are now required to confirm the association of SLCO1B1 521T>C with lopinavir plasma concentrations and to assess the influence of other polymorphisms in the SLCO family. aDepartment of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, University of Liverpool bMolecular and Biochemical Parasitology, Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, Liverpool cNIHR Biomedical Research Centre, Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals Trust, UK Correspondence to Dr Andrew Owen, PhD, Department of Pharmacology and Therapeutics, University of Liverpool, 70 Pembroke Place, Liverpool, L69 3GF, UK Tel: +44 151 794 5919; fax +44 151 794 5656; e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Ruben C.

Caved in to the noisy, parasitic minority. We have no problem with these people having protein, but if they want it they can have it frozen or not at all. Xenophon must be misreading the mood of the electorate, and this will cost him serious votes.

So Nick Xenophone has sold his soul on the altar of political self-interest ...
INDEPENDENT South Australian Senator Nick Xenophon has softened his hard-line stance on banning the live animal export trade.
He remains concerned about the annual $1 billion trade but now has a more pragmatic approach, believing greater collaboration can achieve broader policy outcomes and improvements.
Senator Nick Xenophon.
Both major parties have said theyre committed to the live export trade so it would be bonkers to ignore a fundamental reality of their support, he said.
So the question is - how do you achieve outcomes that are in the national interest like creating more local jobs, a better supply chain and animal welfare standards and selling more chilled meat overseas?
I do think we have huge potential to provide protein to the region and beyond
Leading up to and during the Indonesian live cattle export trade suspension in June 2011, Senator Xenophon was a highly outspoken critic of the trade, making regular media statements voicing his opposition to live ex and speaking at public rallies backing calls for a total ban.
At the time, he stood alongside fellow Independent MP Andrew Wilkie to propose new legislation to phase out the trade over three years, largely in response to unacceptable animal welfare standards in foreign abattoirs.
While Mr Wilkie has continued his staunch opposition and raised further legislative proposals to ban the trade, Senator Xenophon has been largely silent on the issue in recent times.
Over the past two years, Senator Xenophon has met with Top End cattlemen and others impacted by the Labor governments month-long ban on cattle exports to Indonesia. Leading up to a Federal Senate hearing into live exports in Darwin in August 2011, he spent the day with cattlemen and industry members devastated by the ban, hearing their views and observing their business practices.
Senator Xenophon said that was an uncomfortable experience and it would have been easier for him not to go at all - but he felt obligated to meet producers face-to-face.
What I saw was a group of people who followed by the rules, did the right thing, looked after their animals and who became the innocent casualties in all of this, he said.
At the very least the government should have had a comprehensive compensation package in place so they werent out of pocket (from the ban).
Senator Xenophon said during his Top End visit, he witnessed cattle producer facilities and animal welfare practices that were world class.
He said the producers were also blameless in regards to the shocking animal cruelty images shown on ABC's
Four Corners
which sparked the Indonesian market suspension.
Two years on the Senator still believes Animals Australias Lyn White played a critical role in exposing the supply chain failures and questions about Meat and Livestock Australias role in the controversy.
Senator Xenophon stopped short of saying his views on live exports had changed completely due to his Top End visit, but said his position had now evolved towards a more informed view which seeks to achieve better results all round.
He still doesnt like live exports - but also detests the way cattle producers and industry members were treated by the sudden ban.
He believes DAFF and AusTrade need to make a bigger effort to work with industry and foreign markets to encourage an expansion in chilled meat exports, including increased access to refrigeration for meat consumers in those markets.
I do think we have huge potential to provide protein to the region and beyond, he said.
Australia may almost need to provide community refrigeration to stimulate that sector of the market.
Senator Xenophon is primarily concerned with cutting the volume of live sheep exports to the Middle East due to it being a more problematic or longer voyage for those animals, compared with cattle headed to Indonesia.
In 2012, Australia exported about 2.3 million sheep valued at $277 million with 99 percent shipped to the Middle East, with WAs contribution totalling 1.76 million head valued at $215 million.
He says more work is needed to improve animal welfare outcomes in the export supply chain, including increasing the uptake of pre-slaughter stunning in foreign abattoirs.
With Australian jobs in mind, he also wants to see local abattoir processing and production capacity increased.
These are all things we can do at once, he said.
Because if you have an absolutist approach you wont solve the problem - youll just have people in their corners saying, no live exports and others saying theres nothing wrong; its business as usual.
Where theres common ground you should work towards those outcomes because the effect of that would also be to reduce the reliance on live exports for Australian farmers.
Nobody wants to see animals being mistreated by virtue of a long journey or being mistreated in overseas abattoirs.
But people also dont want to see starving cattle having their eyes picked out by crows and being eaten alive here in Australia.
Senator Xenophon said hed like to see improvements in supply chains; significant processing and productive capacity built in Northern Australia; greater marketing focus on exporting boxed chilled meat, especially to the Middle East; and greater value-adding to the meat export trade to create thousands more jobs in Australia.
He said responsible groups like the RSPCA also need to play a greater role to reduce friction and build better working relations with the $1 billion per year live export industry.
There needs to be an ongoing dialogue between both the critics of industry and industry itself to find common ground rather than be at loggerheads continually, he said.
Its not in the national interest to have this constant clash between the two groups.

Ram Gopal Varma's Vangaveeti which released yesterday opened up with a mixed response from the critics and the audience. However, the collections on day 1 are good for the movie.
It collected 25 lakhs share in Guntur, 24.3 lakhs share in East Godavari, Krishna – 20.5 lakhs on day 1. The Total AP/TS collections of the movie will be around 2.5 crores share which is a good amount for the film with new faces and best among Ram Gopal Varma's films in recent times.
Even Ram Gopal Varma also said that collections were good on opening day via his Twitter handle.
He said "The tremendous opening and success of Vangaveeti proves that a film made with sincerity can be as big as a big star cast film"
He gives entire credit to the lead cast which helped in making the film watchable with their superb performances.
He said "Vangaveeti's success primarily belongs to the fantastic performances delivered by Sandy,Vamsi,Sritej,Kautilya and Naina..I thank all of them"
Finally, we need to wait and see how much it collects in its further at the box office in coming days.

After Ryan Gosling's directorial debut "Lost River" landed with a thud at the Cannes Film Festival, fans began wondering when they'd get the chance to judge the film for themselves.
We now have that answer — but it may not be one that pleases the actor's devotees.
Warner Bros., which acquired rights to "Lost River" in 2013, said Tuesday that it planned to release the movie through its home video arm, though it will also get an exclusive theatrical run in Los Angeles and New York. While producer Marc Platt said in an interview this week that the movie would roll out in April, Warner Bros. says it has yet to date the film.
Dan Fellman, the studio's president of domestic distribution, acknowledged Tuesday that the release pattern was unusual for Warner Bros., which rarely puts its movies on-demand and in theaters on the same day. But Gosling was apparently on board with the plan.
"I think it's a specialized film. It's really something that needed special handling — which the filmmakers were well aware of," Fellman said in an interview with The Times. "It was their decision, really, on how to proceed with the release of the movie. It was not a surprise to anybody."
Gosling's representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Though "Lost River" was a part of Cannes' prestigious Un Certain Regard section in May, critics did not take kindly to it. Written by Gosling and starring Christina Hendricks as a struggling mother whose teenage son is being bullied, the movie proved puzzling to early viewers. The Telegraph said the "mouth-dryingly lousy" film seemed like a poor imitation of a David Lynch movie, while the Guardian implied that the 34-year-old only got the movie made because he's famous.
Fellman denied that the movie was ever slated to play nationwide and said the picture's release plan was not indicative of poor quality.
"I think Ryan did a really good job with the film," Fellman said, before going on to clarify that the studio did not produce the movie or put much money into it.
It makes sense, of course, that Warner Bros. would want to stay in Gosling's good graces. As an actor, he's done good business for the studio — mostly in "Crazy, Stupid, Love," less so in "Gangster Squad." Plus, he's currently at work filming the 1970s neo-noir "The Nice Guys" for it with Russell Crowe.

New Delhi, May 8: The agent who arrives at your home or office and tries to sell you that extra credit card may be hiding sinister motives behind his over-polite manners.
Ask Bharat Kumar Mahi.
The anxiety began for the Delhi businessman moments after the innocuous double beep that accompanied an SMS he received on May 2. Two seconds later, he says, he knew something was wrong.
The SMS told him that Rs 22,396 had been deducted from his ICICI Bank account for three Air Deccan tickets bought against his credit card.
I had made no such transactions. I immediately called police, Mahi said.
A day later, the police had uncovered a scary plot a credit card racket where the crooks werent bank employees but the friendly agents seeking your card details on the pretext of helping you. I had never thought that the simple-looking man who came to my home in April could be behind such a racket, Mahi said.
Delhi police yesterday arrested four men who used the age-old weapon of charm to swindle Mahi and, officers claim, 12 others.
Shubhnath Jha, Saroj Singh and Jitender Giri, three of the arrested men, worked as direct selling agents (also called direct marketing agents) who sold credit cards for ICICI, ABN AMRO and Citibank.
They would gently ask customers for their existing credit cards, ostensibly to help them write the card numbers on the form for the new card.
They would quickly scan the backs of the cards, which carry the secret number, especially the last three digits used in transactions, said Naresh Kumar, deputy commissioner of police, Indira Gandhi International Airport.
The trio would pass these numbers on to the fourth man, Konthujam Ishwar Chander Singh, believed to be the kingpin. Chander Singh would use these numbers to buy airline e-tickets and sell them to other customers.
This trend of direct selling agents being involved in the racket is worrying. Its yet to be properly addressed by the banks, Kumar said.
A fifth man was arrested today after he was found travelling on a fraudulently bought ticket, but banks were unfazed.
These are rare mishaps. Even the most foolproof of systems can be occasionally breached, said Rasheed Khan, manager (customer care) with ABN Amro.
The foolproof system the banks offer, however, is centred on the customers own watchfulness.
On at least two occasions, the supposed agent was not the person authorised by the firm the bank had hired. Therefore, the bank argued, it was not responsible for the customers loss.
The polices advice is, make sure the person before you is the banks authorised agent. The bank then cannot claim not to be responsible, Kumar said.
Each direct selling agent is assigned a unique number by his firm (which has been hired by the bank). Officers say you should always ask him for the number, his name and contact details of his firm.
Get the bank to corroborate the agents identity from the number and confirm that the firm he claims to work for is the one it has hired. Also get the contact details confirmed.
Now call the firm and verify that the agent was indeed sent to you at the time he came to your home.

Hypercongestion in downtown metropolis
Engineering studies demonstrate that traffic in dense downtown areas obeys a stable functional relationship between average speed and density, including a region of 'hypercongestion', where flow decreases with density. This situation can be described as queuing behind a bottleneck whose capacity declines when the queue is large. We combine such a variable-capacity bottleneck with Vickrey scheduling preferences for the special case, where there are only two possible levels of capacity. Solving the model leads to several new insights, including that the marginal cost of adding a traveler is especially sensitive to the lowest level of capacity reached. We analyze an optimal toll, a coarse toll, and metering, showing substantial benefits from using these policies to eliminate the period of reduced capacity. Under hypercongestion, all of these policies can be designed so that travelers gain even without considering any toll revenues.

You want to remember your day, just as it happened.
I would love to talk with you about your vision and answer any questions you might have.
Having beautiful high quality photos is probably one of the most important aspects of your wedding or vow renewal. My approach is to tell the story of your wedding day down to the very details. While I strive for mostly candid photos, there is a time and place for well posed photos too.

Football's Kelly Named Semifinalist For Prestigious 2014 Campbell Trophy
TEMPE, Ariz. – Arizona State University redshirt senior quarterback Taylor Kelly has been named a semifinalist for the 2014 William V. Campbell Trophy®, the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame announced Thursday.
Kelly is one of 62 Football Bowl Subdivision student-athletes and 167 total candidates selected as semifinalists for the award, which recognizes the top football scholar-athlete in the nation.
Kelly, a four-year letterwinner from Eagle, Idaho, earned 2013 Second Team All-Pac-12 recognition and is a two-time Pac-12 All-Academic honoree. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Educational Studies in May 2014 and is currently enrolled in a Master's of Legal Studies program focusing on Sports Law and Business that combines classes from the Sandra Day O'Connor School of Law and the W.P. Carey School of Business. He was named to the conference's All-Academic Second Team in 2013 and is a six-time Scholar Baller, which each semester honors student-athletes who achieve over a 3.0 GPA.
A team captain and a member of the team's Leadership Council for the second consecutive season, Kelly is also a very active member of the university and the Phoenix Valley. He often speaks to numerous groups and classrooms about the importance of integrity, character and academics, and has been instrumental in influencing his teammates to become more involved in community service and outreach events.
Kelly was nominated to the 2014 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® in August for the second consecutive season which represents the sport's finest in the areas of volunteerism and leadership. The award recognizes players whose charitable involvement and community service contributions stand out among all other student-athletes participating in the sport. Kelly is heavily involved in the Scholar Baller leadership and outreach program, where he helps develop curriculum, deliver, teach and mentor students at high schools around the community. He teaches life skills and discusses developing championship character, creating a strong sense of self and becoming a great leader, among other things.
Kelly has amassed 7,390 career passing yards, fourth in school history, and has 63 career touchdowns, fifth in ASU annals, in 30 career starts. His 75 total touchdowns, including 12 rushing, is the fourth-highest total among all ASU quarterbacks and he is just the second Sun Devil in school history to have multiple seasons with 3,000-plus passing yards. He has also tallied 1,316 career rushing yards, which is the second most of any quarterback in program history. He threw for 3,635 yards in 2013, the third most in a single season in school history, and moved into the top five on seven single-season school record lists, including passing yards, completions, total offense and points responsible for, among others.
Nominated by their schools, which are limited to one nominee each, candidates for the awards must be a senior or graduate student in their final year of eligibility, have a GPA of at least 3.2 on a 4.0 scale, have outstanding football ability as a first team player or significant contributor and have demonstrated strong leadership and citizenship. The class is selected each year by the NFF Awards Committee, which is comprised of a nationally recognized group of media, College Football Hall of Famers and athletics administrators.
The NFF Awards Committee will select up to 16 recipients and the results will be announced on Oct. 30. Each member of the 2014 NFF National Scholar-Athlete Class will receive an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship and travel to New York City to be honored Dec. 9 during the 57th NFF Annual Awards Dinner at the Waldorf Astoria where one member of the class will also be announced live as the winner of the 2014 William V. Campbell Trophy, presented by Fidelity Investments.
Launched in 1959, the NFF scholar-athlete program became the first initiative in history to award post-graduate scholarships based on both a player's academic and athletic accomplishments, and it has recognized 787 outstanding individuals since its inception. The Campbell Trophy was first awarded in 1990.
Single-game tickets are on sale now for the Devils' third annual Maroon Monsoon game on Saturday, Oct. 18 against No. 16 Stanford at Sun Devil Stadium. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Sun Devil Athletic Ticket Office at 480-727-000 or by clicking here.

5 Environment-Friendly Natural Pesticides
Is there such a thing as an environment-friendly natural pesticide?
Yes, there are a select few botanical mixtures which can be considered as the "elite" environment friendly natural pesticide, for each one works well with few drawbacks. These special botanical mixtures do not harm the environment nor do they cause our good bugs any harm.
Whether we like it or not, many natural pesticides are not necessarily kind to the "good bugs". Such natural pesticides as pyrethrum, rotenone, and sabadilla do not discrimate and do kill pretty well all insects, good or bad, which crawl over the stuff. So wherever possible, one should use an environment-friendly natural pesticide.
Choose an "Elite" Environment-Friendly Natural Pesticide from the following five:
1. Garlic Spray is an environment-friendly natural pesticide which repels many pests such as aphids, spider mites, and white flies. Not only is this natural pesticide environmentally safe but it is also biodegradable and does not affect flavor. Don't worry about the garlicky smell when you first spray it. Once it dries, you won't be able to smell it; however, the pests will and they will stay away from your plants.
2. Hot Pepper Wax, another environment-friendly natural pesticide, is a blend of food-grade paraffin wax, herbs, and capsaicin, the active ingredient in hot peppers. Hot pepper wax is derived from cayenne peppers.
This environment-friendly natural pesticide serves two purposes: 1) Keeps many garden pests such as aphids and white flies and other pests which don't like spicy things away from your plants and 2) protects plants from dry or windy weather.
Since the plants do not absorb this natural pesticide, the flavor of your vegetables are not affected. Before preparing, wash the vegetables under warm running water to clean away any remaining wax.
Caution: When you do your spraying, be careful not to get any of the spray on your skin or in your eyes (wear plastic gloves) because the capsaicin can cause an irritation.
3. Insecticidal Soap, a well known botanical mixture, is another environment-friendly natural pesticide which is most effective on soft-bodied insects such as aphids. To work best, it must remain in contact with the pest for as long as possible, so you may want to use this natural pesticide spray early in the morning or late afternoon/evening when it takes longer to dry.
This environment-friendly natural pesticide a) does not harm most beneficial insects, b) has a low impact on mammals, birds, aquatic organisms, and other wildlife, and c) is damaging to predatory mites and some insects such as hoverflies in their larval stage.
Its main ingredient, potassium salts of fatty acids derived from plants, is what makes this natural pesticide mixture environment-friendly and biodegradable. It works well because the soap spray damages the insects' cell membranes and causes the vital cellular fluids to leak and the insect to die.
Note: If mixed in water containing high amounts of minerals such as iron or calcium, it may be less effective.
4. Neem, derived from the seeds of the neem tree, has an active ingredient called azadirachtin which blocks the progression of the insect's life cycle. Although it might take a few days for the effects of the neem to be seen, you will notice that as soon as Neem is applied to the plant, the insects seem to lose their appetite.
As a spray, neem is also an extremely environment-friendly natural pesticide. It has no effect on beneficials such as butterflies, spider, bees, earthworms, and ladybugs. Moreover, it has little impact on birds, aquatic organisms, fish and mammals, or other wildlife.
You may also use the neem oil insecticidal soap which combines the two products.
5. TOADS: You may laugh because I am including toads as an environment-friendly natural pesticide. However, toads are my favorite "pesticides", and I will do anything to attract toads into my vegetable and flower gardens.
Toads like to work at night and seem to particularly like slugs and cutworms. However, their meal will include gypsy moth larvae, sowbugs, armyworms, and various beetles, up to 15,000 garden pests a year. Now do you still wonder why I welcome toads to my gardens?
In order for you to have toads remain in the garden, you must provide a cool, dark spot where they can hide in the daytime, a spot from which they can make a quick get-away.
I would take a 5-inch or 10-inch plastic flower pot, cut a big hole on the side and tuck it under a shrub out of sight. Although toads seem to like these "homes," they would often just make themselves at home under full leaved shrubs without the flower pot . . . wherever the "food" could be found..
What is very important is to provide them with fresh cool water every day or every second day. The idea is to keep checking the little container placed out of sight on the ground and refill often to keep the water clean. (A large somewhat deep plastic bottle cover or a small "dip" plastic container works well)
I was constantly amazed at how efficient toads can be! I knew there were toads around when I would check my roses in the morning and find that there were no more aphids on my roses and no ants going up and down the rose stems "farming" and "moving" the aphids around.
Indeed, it is to our benefit to use an environment-friendly natural pesticide (spray or otherwise!), wherever possible, to keep the pests out of our gardens. The "elite" environment-friendly natural pesticide, (the garlic spray, the hot pepper wax, the insecticidal soap, the neem spray), is usually available at any garden nursery or even at Canadian Tire.
As for the toads – my favorite type of environment-friendly natural pesticide — well. . . .good luck!

text: I haven't posted much here but I love reading. I have a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Louie that is a little over a year old. I also have a cat, but she is really very independent and all she wants from us is food and a clean litter box. Anyway, I seem to be wanting another dog lately. Hubby thinks I'm crazy but I thought I'd get some input from people who might have more than one dog in the house. Does it make things twice as difficult or after one is it easier to adapt? Louie is very social and I think he is a little bummed that the cat doesn't really like to play with him. I think he would love to have a friend around the house. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi there! This is my personal build for Irelia. I usually play Irelia solo top or mid, sometimes laned but the key to being successful is being farmed. I have over 800 ranked games for Irelia and my rating has been as low as 700 up to 1400's. Yes, I know it's a huge range but I've been to hell and back just to see if I could climb out of it.
Well a few more pointers before I start my explanations, this guide may not suit your play style, you may not agree with my itemization, and you may not agree with this guide altogether. I'm open to pointers and I've created my build out of trial and error, not by copying someone else.
Pros / Cons
Strong snowballing effect
Tanky dps
Lane sustainability
Passive + Merc treads makes cc effects not last
Weak early game
Requires a good farm
Expensive Itemization
The runes I choose vary depending on who I may potentially be paired up against. My regular rune set up is as follows.
