The other day I had a fascinating experience. During my lunch hour I created an avatar ( a computer generated image that represented, but did not look like, me,) visited Second Life (not heaven but a computer generated world inhabited by such avatars, controlled, of course, by "real" people,) and examined "documents" in virtual document cases in a virtual archives/special collections library. Sound exciting to you? Maybe yes, maybe no, but I found it so.
You see, I work in a special collections division of a public library as well as work as the TN Conference archivist. I have become very aware of the desire, in many cases demands, of patrons to have their research needs met in a manner that they can understand and find useful. In the case of the Conference archives we can offer them only what we have, which often means we can help them when staff is available and often means they must go away disappointed. We are trying, at both locations, to find ways to make our collections more accessible and to do a better job of reference through the use of technology. We are also trying, to varying degrees at both locations, to find ways to make our collections more accessible and to do a better job of reference through the simple method of trying to see things from the viewpoint of the user. We live in a culture where methods of communicating and interacting are rapidly changing. Requiring our users (not just those who make use of our archives but also those who make use of our church facilities; e.g. our congregants and community) to approach us on our terms only is more and more a case of asking them to use languages they do not understand and enter places where they are uncomfortable. Some may argue that this is a good thing, and I can see how it may be sometimes, but on the whole I would say not.
That is what I found impressive about Stanford University's (CA, west coast, definitely not from around here) use of Second Life(SL) as a means to offer a new way to demonstrate its special collections to folks. I was totally unaware of their presence in SL (despite the search engines that many in the church tell me will turn up Websites that will then direct me anywhere I want to go; like church) even though I have researched use and users of public history institutions for years. I had missed, (okay, overlooked, sorry,) the post about their open house in one of my favorite blogs and stumbled back upon it the morning of said open house. I quickly took my laptop to the Conference library, activated the software I had downloaded awhile back, set up my avatar and went to visit the archivist in OZ. Or so it seemed. She explained to me that the SL archives was, in part, a way to introduce folks unfamiliar with closed stack material in a way that was less intimidating than the real thing. Great idea! Wish I had thought about it.
I don't know how many folk use SL. It may be that few people will see the archives. I do know a lot of folk play video games. I know that many homeless folk who come into the public library I work at are unhappy that SL is blocked from our computers, so I know they use it when they can. I know youth regularly use technology that the church ignores and that there is affordable technology that can let people who would otherwise be out of reach of churches' libraries, archives, and missions out there and using it might make sense from the point of view of the "user" should we choose to look through their eyes. I have said elsewhere, including this blog, that I am an advocate of use, of facilitating communication and knowledge, and try to advocate for those on the other-side-of-the-desk. As an archivist I struggle to balance the traditional needs of maintaining traditional records with the more modern needs of maintaining modern records. At all times I look for ways to increase the value of those records by facilitating use. Stanford's work has shown they are also focused on finding ways to increase the value of their collections simply by providing new means of access. More access, more use, more who judge the items to be of value. Simple. Brother Occam would be proud.

(Note: Since posting this originally, I was asked about the last comment. Occam's Razor, in one popular form: When 2 competing theories produce the same outcome, the simpler of the 2 should be preferred. I don't mean to imply that this applies specifically to the above situation, but it might in a larger context of what makes records valuable and why we should keep them. I was also suggesting, a bit tongue-in-cheek, that the "simple" was by definition the friend of William of Occam – Jim)

Look for example at Nblog::Controller::Ajax and RavLog::Controller::Ajax - the changes are minimal, mostly just changing
sub check_articles : Local to
sub check_articles_action and accessing the model from
$c->model('DB::Tag')->search to
$self->app->schema->resultset( 'Tag')->search - a bit longer perhaps. Sure there are other controllers like: RavLog::Controller::View that I renamed to Nblog::Controller::Article. This renaming is not important - I just did not like a controller called View but there is also some difference in their methods. The RavLog controller uses the Chained Catalyst dispatcher - while in the Nblog one I overrode
local_dispatch, and it uses stash to communicate with the template while in Nblog I passe the data directly as a parameter. Still some similarity remains.
WebNano uses some dependencies - so it does not fit into the original Adam's definition of tiny modules (by the way I cannot fin this definition now - maybe this should go to some semi-official place like the p5p wiki?). But the prerequisites are really minimal - and mostly tiny themselves. Maybe in the subject space of web frameworks this should be allowed?

Raising the bar: Dine-In and VIP cinemas enhance the movie experience
Technology is threatening movie theatres. IT has created an on-demand world allowing consumers to instantly stream movies in the comfort of their own home. Consumers can download movies anywhere at any time on tablets, laptops and even mobile phones. Why pay more and fight crowds at the movie theatre when you can do this anywhere for potentially less money?
Unless movie theatres raise the bar, their very existence may be in question.
The latest trends in the movie theatre industry are creating more options and luxuries for the consumer; the entire experience touches every aspect of customer interaction with the cinema.
The "Dine In" and "VIP" segments have seen significant growth over the last year. New locations are being opened as well as major renovations to existing locations. A large number of chains envision improvements and the pace of expansions is picking up.
Reserved seating and leather recliners, once a novelty, are showing signs of becoming the norm. Reserved seating sold either online or with mobile devices through an app is becoming so popular, theatre chains are now offering their own apps. Leveraging this technology improves efficiency for theatres and begins the process of turning consumers into patrons. The patron is assured of a seat assignment that meets their preference and they can avoid the rush of patrons who wait in long lines to get tickets and select seats.
Site ticket sales for this segment tend to be located inside the lobby, providing a more sheltered and welcoming setting for patrons. Some exhibitors have enhanced the experience with a hotel-style concierge desk to assist guests.
Theatres are proudly displaying their chef name on the front doors of their establishments and expanding their concession offerings by providing food and beverage options on par with five-star restaurants. This custom had previously been reserved only for the highest-quality venues. Fresh made-from-scratch food provides higher-quality and better-tasting selections. Though the usual fare of burgers, pizza and beer are still there, signature creations for both food and beverages are becoming more prevalent in this segment.
One of the challenges created from the dine-in environment has been providing quality service in a dark theatre. However, the advent of technology allows food orders to be taken inside the theatre on handheld devices and sent to the kitchen, reducing the amount of time from order to service. Patrons can summon servers at the press of a button, allowing them to receive quality service. This technology results in service that surpasses most five-star restaurants.
The landscape is changing in the theatre industry due to technology, but with the use of technology there will be room for growth and expansion for decades to come.
Chris Pollak is director of sales for Embedded Processor Designs, manufacturer of service-call systems designed specifically for the dine-in and VIP theatres.

Bull's Blood
Beet Seed
Product ID: 2912
Product Images
Deep burgundy leaves for salad or microgreens.
Heirloom variety produces beautiful dark red leaves even under low-light conditions. The foliage color intensifies as the plant matures. Striking, both baby and full size. Provides color and interest to salad mixes. Roots show attractive candy-striped zoning when sliced. Select organic or conventional seeds. Avg. 28,500 seeds/lb. Packet: 350 seeds.
Additional Information
SCIENTIFIC NAME: Beta vulgaris
CULTURE: First-rate crops grow quickly in light or loamy soils with a pH over 6.0. In general, cool temperatures produce the best flesh color. Acute weather fluctuations will cause zoning (white rings) in the roots.
TRANSPLANTING: Sow seed in a cold frame or indoors in early spring, about 5-6 weeks before transplanting out after heavy frosts become infrequent. Sow seeds 1/2" deep, 3–4 seeds per inch. Transplant out 3" apart in rows 12–18" apart.
DIRECT SEEDING: Begin early sowings when soil has warmed to 45°F/7°C. Sow 15 seeds/ft. 1/2" deep, rows 12–18" apart. Thin to 1 plant per 2". For a continuous supply of greens and small tender beets, sow seed at 2-week intervals until 8 weeks before regular heavy frosts are expected.
DISEASES: Keep beets well irrigated to prevent scab, the same disorder that affects potatoes, causing raised brown rough spots on the mature roots. Internal breakdown or browning is most likely to occur in alkaline soils after prolonged hot, dry periods. This is caused by a boron deficiency. Rotate crops to prevent Cercospora leaf spot.
HARVEST AND STORAGE: Fork or undermine, lift plants, wash and hydrocool, and store bunches 10 days at 32°F/0°C and 95% relative humidity.
WINTER STORAGE OF ROOTS: Sow about 10 weeks before heavy freeze is expected. Cut tops, wash, and store 6 months at 32°F (0°C) and 95% humidity.
DAYS TO MATURITY: From direct seeding; subtract 14–21 days if transplants are used.
AVG. SEEDING RATE: 1M/66', 5M/333', 436M/acre @15 seeds/ft. and 18" between rows.
SIZED SEEDS: Standard except where noted.
SEED SPECS: SEEDS/LB.: Avg. 37,000.
PACKET: 350 seeds, sows 23'.

RIO DE JANEIRO (AP) � Pope Francis drew a reported 3 million flag-waving, rosary-toting faithful to Rio's Copacabana beach yesterday for the final evening of World Youth Day, hours after he chastised the Brazilian church for failing to stem the "exodus" of Catholics to evangelical congregations.
Francis headed into the final hours of his first international trip riding a remarkable wave of popularity: By the time his open-sided car reached the stage for the vigil service last night, the back seat was piled high with soccer jerseys, flags and flowers tossed to him by adoring pilgrims lining the beachfront route.
"I'm trembling, look how good you can see him!" gushed Fiorella Dias, a 16-year-old Brazilian who jumped for joy as she reviewed the video she shot as the pope passed by. "I have got to call my mother!"
On the beach, pilgrims staked out their spots on the sand, lounged and snacked, preparing for an all-night slumber party ahead of the final Mass today. Many of those actually paying attention to the vigil had tears in their eyes, moved by Francis' call for them to build up their church like his namesake, St. Francis of Assisi, was called to do.
"Jesus offers us something bigger than the World Cup!" Francis said, drawing cheers from the crowd in this soccer-mad nation.
The vigil capped a busy day for the pope in which he drove home a message he has emphasized throughout the week in speeches, homilies and off-the-cuff remarks: the need for Catholics, lay and religious, to shake up the status quo, get out of their stuffy sacristies and reach the faithful on the margins of society or risk losing them to rival churches.
In the longest and most important speech of his four-month pontificate, Francis took a direct swipe at the "intellectual" message of the church that so characterized the pontificate of his predecessor, Benedict XVI.
Speaking to Brazil's bishops, he said ordinary Catholics simply don't understand such lofty ideas and need to hear the simpler message of love, forgiveness and mercy that is at the core of the Catholic faith.
"At times we lose people because they don't understand what we are saying, because we have forgotten the language of simplicity and import an intellectualism foreign to our people," he said. "Without the grammar of simplicity, the church loses the very conditions which make it possible to fish for God in the deep waters of his mystery."
In a speech outlining the kind of church he wants, Francis asked bishops to reflect on why hundreds of thousands of Catholics have left the church for Protestant and Pentecostal congregations that have grown exponentially in recent decades in Brazil, particularly in its slums or favelas, where their charismatic message and nuts-and-bolts advice is welcome by the poor.
According to census data, the number of Catholics in Brazil dipped from 125 million in 2000 to 123 million in 2010, with the church's share of the total population dropping from 74 percent to 65 percent.
During the same time period, the number of evangelical Protestants and Pentecostals skyrocketed from 26 million to 42 million, increasing from 15 percent to 22 percent of the population in 2010.
Francis offered a breathtakingly blunt list of explanations for the "exodus."
"Perhaps the church appeared too weak, perhaps too distant from their needs, perhaps too poor to respond to their concerns, perhaps too cold, perhaps too caught up with itself, perhaps a prisoner of its own rigid formulas," he said. "Perhaps the world seems to have made the church a relic of the past, unfit for new questions. Perhaps the church could speak to people in their infancy but not to those come of age."
Francis asked if the church today can still "warm the hearts" of its faithful with priests who take time to listen to their problems and remain close to them.
"We need a church capable of rediscovering the maternal womb of mercy," he said. "Without mercy, we have little chance nowadays of becoming part of a world of 'wounded' persons in need of understanding, forgiveness and love."
Despite Francis' critical assessment of the sorry state of the church in Brazil, the pope's reception in Rio has shown that he can draw quite a crowd.

The Cold War still rages in North Korea, and enemy No. 1 is the United States, which Pyongyang blames for making its much-condemned drive to develop nuclear weapons necessary.
A rich vein of propaganda, fueled by decades-old American threats, holds that North Korea remains at risk of an unprovoked nuclear attack, although Washington and others say brinksmanship is the North's true motive for its nuclear push.
The latest example is a rhetoric-laden statement Tuesday from the North's Korean People's Army Supreme Command vowing to cancel the 1953 cease-fire that ended the Korean War, citing a U.S.-led push for U.N. sanctions over the North's recent nuclear test and ongoing U.S.-South Korean joint military drills.
North Korea's third nuclear test, in February, has led even China, its only major ally, to support more U.N. Security Council sanctions. Washington and Beijing have approved a draft resolution that is expected to be circulated this week.
North Korea's neighbors and the West condemn the North's efforts to develop nuclear missiles capable of hitting America as a serious threat to Northeast Asia's delicate security and a drain on the precious resources that could go to North Korea's largely destitute people.
But in Pyongyang, the propaganda spotlight shines on a long list of perceived wrongs from Washington and, in particular, on high-level American nuclear threats from the 1950s to the 1970s.
The United States removed its atomic bombs from South Korea in 1991 and has repeatedly rejected North Korea's claims of U.S. invasion plans. U.S. nuclear submarines ply the region's waters, however, and Washington makes clear that its so-called nuclear "umbrella" over South Korea is meant to deter an attack on its ally by North Korea, whose 1950 invasion ignited the three-year Korean War.
Pyongyang uses Cold War history with the U.S. to justify nuclear weapons as a necessity for a small, proud country wedged among global powers competing for regional economic, military and political supremacy.
"No nation has directly been exposed to the U.S. nuclear threat for such a long time in the world," a recent - and representative - commentary from the North's official Korean Central News Agency said.
Faced with Washington's "ceaseless nuclear blackmail and sanctions racket," the commentary said North Korea made "the strategic resolution to react to nuclear weapons with nuclear weapons."
In its statement Tuesday, the North called ongoing U.S.-South Korean military drills a "dangerous nuclear war targeted at us."
Many outsiders dismiss North Korea's comments as a rationalization, and U.S. officials say North Korea orchestrated a systematic, often secret drive to build bombs even while making nuclear disarmament pledges to Washington and others in return for aid and other concessions.
"North Korea uses these nuclear weapons every day. They haven't launched them, but they use them regularly," said Bruce Bennett, a defense analyst at the RAND Corporation, a U.S.-based think tank. Among the uses, he said: to "blackmail" and intimidate Washington and others for money and supplies, to agitate for a peace treaty to end the still technically ongoing Korean War, to deter possible attacks, to generate scapegoats meant to obscure government failures, and to allow the ruling Kim family to demonstrate power and stability to the world and to their citizens.
Pyongyang excoriates international sanctions as expressions of U.S. hostility, as it does joint U.S.-South Korean military drills, the 28,500 U.S. troops stationed in South Korea and the tens of thousands based in nearby Japan.
"There are good reasons for North Korea to fear the United States," said Cheong Seong-chang, a South Korean analyst at the private Sejong Institute think tank. "There's a sense of crisis that persists among North Koreans toward Washington, which deploys satellites around the clock to keep a watch on Pyongyang."
Those fears stretch back to the Korean War and the nuclear gamesmanship of the Cold War.
Gen. Douglas MacArthur, the U.N. forces commander, and his successor, Gen. Matthew Ridgway, both asked for authority to use atomic bombs against the North. After his 1953 inauguration, President Dwight Eisenhower "began dropping hints that the United States would use the atom bomb if the deadlock persisted in the negotiations to conclude an armistice ending the war," former Washington Post reporter Don Oberdorfer writes in his history "The Two Koreas."
The first openly deployed U.S. nuclear weapons appeared in South Korea in 1958, according to Peter Hayes, who heads the Nautilus Institute, an Asia-focused think tank, and North Korea responded by digging underground tunnels and fortifying the border.
A crucial moment came in August 1976, after North Korean soldiers killed two Americans with axes. An angry Washington looked to send a message, and nuclear-capable B-52 bombers flew toward the demilitarized zone separating the Koreas, "veering off at the last moment," Hayes wrote in his book "Pacific Powderkeg."
The U.S. response to the ax murders, according to Hayes, convinced North Korea that the American nuclear threat was real, and the psychological impression it made continues even now.
Recent North Korean propaganda has also focused on the George W. Bush and Obama administrations. In 2002, Bush lumped North Korea into an "an axis of evil" with Iran and Iraq. The U.S. invaded Iraq in 2003, and the Bush administration advocated "regime change" in Iran and, reportedly, in Pyongyang.
North Korea has also studied the fate of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, who gave up his nuclear programs in 2003 under U.S. economic pressure and was killed in 2011 in an uprising backed by NATO airstrikes.
Pyongyang's state media recently wrote of the "tragic consequences" of countries that "abandoned halfway their nuclear programs" because of U.S. pressure, adding that North Korea "was very far-sighted" when it decided to continue building nuclear arms.
North Korean fears of nuclear attack may seem ridiculous to Americans who see U.S. intentions as obviously defensive, according to Hayes, but the view is different in North Korea.
"Isolated from world opinion, subject to the vagaries of centralized, bureaucratic policy formation and the whim of extraordinarily concentrated political power, Pyongyang is the one place that probably does not see the world the same way as 'everyone' else," Hayes wrote.
Even if deadlocked nuclear disarmament negotiations resume, analysts see no easy solution to stopping North Korea's nuclear weapons drive.
Washington says North Korea must prove its sincerity before any serious disarmament deal can be reached. The Obama administration is focused on the North's own more recent history, which it considers to be rife with broken disarmament promises.

Good afternoon all, hopefully everyone's doing well now that we're passed the halfway mark and now hurdling towards the weekend. Some of you might remember the piece we posted last week where we told Ryan to put together a PC build weighing in at under the €1,200 mark. We always get feedback on PC builds, so we've decided to run with it.
When Ryan's build went up, we asked the folks over at our Boards.ie Talk To Komplett forum to take a look at the build and see what they thought of it. After all, Ryan's only Welsh, so surely we could get a decent home grown machine out of the charming Boards.ie constituents. Indeed, we got a few interesting builds, but we've decided to post the best of them here.
We won't keep you waiting, so the without any delay we'll tell you that the very impressive build we have here come from a man known to us only as Messerschmitt, and it turns out he's a bit of a hero.
The Messerschmitt:
Messerschmitt's build boasts some similarity to Ryan's, at the very least, they both boast the same case. The Cooler Master HAF 922 is a relatively low-cost case with lots of space for cables, good airflow and it only looks a touch ungodly. Not much more to say about it than that really.
You can find the Cooler Master HAF 922 here, for the princely sum of €92. You can also check out the absolute raft of awards its won on the same page.
Where Ryan went for an Intel Core i5 processor to keep costs down, Messerschmitt has instead opted to splash out, going for a Core i7 Quad. Ryan was of the opinion that if you were building on a budget Core i5 might suit your needs better, but clearly that's not the way everyone flies.
Moreover, the addition of a Core i7 processor offers a nice bit of future-proofing, for those who are building a machine they'd like to see last a while, rather than one they'll be upgrading continuously to pull more and more performance from. It's also excellent to see that all of its reviews rate it at 5/5 with everyone seeming very pleased indeed.
At the moment, the Intel Core i7 Quad (i7-920) is €242, which is pretty hefty compared to Ryan's Core i5, but fits very well into this build.

They've successfully managed to jailbreak factory fresh iPhones running firmware 1.1.1, enabling support for black market third party applications, and utilize non-AT&T SIM cards to roll your own network. However, no workaround solution has been found for previously unlocked, now bricked, iPhones updated to 1.1.1.
Yes, yes, it all sounds well and good, but given the fact iPhone Dev Team has yet to undo the catastrophic damage created by anySIM with Apple's new firmware, why would anyone place their trust in this process again? Trust me folks, if you value your iPhone, stay far away from Jailbreak or unlock software, in any form. You are playing with fire. These half-assed hacks are little more than Molotov cocktails ready to blow up in your face and brick your iPhone. But don't take my word for it. Just ask my previous iPhone, now serving as doorstop and makeshift kitchen utensil.

Mayor Don Wesely today helped open the new McDonald's restaurant at 875 North 27th Street and reported on the progress of other improvements now underway in the area.
"As each new development opens, the surrounding neighborhoods can celebrate the ongoing revitalization of this area," Mayor Wesely said. "They can also celebrate the fact that the improvements are happening because residents and business owners worked with the city to create the North 27th Street Redevelopment Plan.: That plan was approved by the City Council in March 1998 and includes the area from 'N' Street north to near Leighton Street. Mayor Wesely also thanked the new North 27th Street Business and Civic Organization, which includes business and property owners and residents of the neighborhood.
The 3,800-square foot restaurant, the eleventh McDonald's in Lincoln, seats 90 customers and employs 60 people. It replaces the McDonald's at 865 North 27th Street, which was one of the first McDonald's in the state. It was built in 1962 by Sheldon Kushner, a Lincoln businessman who is the developer of the new restaurant.
McDonald's Corporation has donated $40,000 to Cedars Youth Services of Lincoln to assist the organization in developing the Northbridge Center for Children and Youth. This community center would be located just north of the new Police Team Station at 27th and Holdrege streets. U.S. Senator Bob Kerrey is working to secure some federal funding for the project. Cedars hopes to begin construction next spring.
Other projects underway along North 27th include:

There are circadian account letters about vegetable contamination. Problems from autumn to processing accept created situations area the aliment is accounted alarming for animal consumption. There is an added focus on accepting organically developed produce. However, commercially developed amoebic aftermath can be actual expensive. In the avant-garde economy, abounding families may not be able to allow the college costs of these above fruits and vegetables. With a little plan and research, acquirements how to abound an amoebic vegetable garden is an abundantly acceptable and benign experience. This action will advice acquit aliment costs and accommodate a abounding crop of alimental accomplished foods.
There are abundant allowances to alone growing amoebic vegetables. First of all, the anguish about aliment contagion is nonexistent. As both the agriculturalist and harvester, the home agriculturalist knows absolutely area their vegetables are at all times. There is no crisis of them getting attenuated by an alfresco source. Homegrown amoebic vegetables are aswell comestible affluent and college in vitamins than their abundance bought counterparts. Abounding times abundance bought vegetables, including organic, are best afore they are absolutely ripe. This is about due to the actuality that the vegetables accept to be transported somewhat green to ensure they do not rot on the continued adventure to market. Garden beginning amoebic vegetables can be best appropriate at the point they are absolutely accomplished and acclimated immediately. They accept a above aftertaste and a college akin of nutrition.
The appellation "organic" refers to the actuality that the aftermath is developed after the abetment of baneful fertilizers or pesticides. Ample bartering amoebic bake-apple and vegetable growers accept to consistently analysis their crops to see that they are blockage accurate to amoebic growing methods. Due to the abate admeasurement of home gardens, home growers accept an easier time ensuring their vegetables break organic. They can advance abounding altered techniques to accumulate their area organic. Fertilization can be done with amoebic articles which accommodate biological admixture and by itself composted material. These fertilizer blends do not bake plants the way actinic fertilizers do. Also, they do not alteration chemicals to the growing produce. Annoyance ascendancy can be one of the areas area some home gardeners abort to be absolutely organic. They feel they accept to use acrid chemicals to annihilate bugs which may be antibacterial the plant. This is not the case. There are abounding amoebic methods of annoyance control. One adjustment is to use accustomed pesticide solutions such as pepper oils and soaps. Neither of these combinations harms nor alters the bulb in anyway. Another adjustment for annoyance ascendancy is application beneficial, cannibal bugs. These bugs augment on abate bugs that may be harming the plants. Both these methods do not alarm for alarming chemicals to be sprayed assimilate the bulb which could alteration to the growing bake-apple or vegetable.
Leaning how to abound your own amoebic vegetable garden is a fun and advantageous amusement which will pay off with some plan and research. It will accommodate a ample accumulation of advantageous and benign aliment for the family.

Sometimes, when surfing through a journal's table of contents, an article just jumps out at you as an absolutely awesome experiment to do. Not necessarily significant in terms of science—just, simply, awesome. This is one such experiment.
A group of French researchers are interested in exploring the composition of the atmosphere, which is commonly done with laser-based radar system, known as lidar. The idea is that the intensity and delay of the time of flight can produce an accurate measure of the amount of aerosols in the atmosphere. However, if the laser can be made to emit more than one color, more information, such as the species of gases can be detected as well. Unfortunately, with a few exceptions, lasers only emit a narrow band of wavelengths, which limits the amount of information that can be retrieved from lidar soundings. To get around this, the scientists simply upped the power on their laser to 32TW (32,000,000,000,000W). At such high intensity, the laser modifies the air so that it acts like a lens, which focuses the laser to an even higher intensity. This process continues until the laser ionizes the air. The resulting plasma tries to disperse the laser beam, leading to a balance that channels the laser light in fine filaments which generates white light that has all the properties of laser light.
This glowing white beam traveled more than 20km, reaching from the ground into the stratosphere. Although, as I said before, this caught my eye due to sheer awesomeness, there is a some serious science involved as well. For instance, the propagation of such intense beams of light is very difficult to predict from our understanding of light, so this was an interesting test of the physics of light propagation. Furthermore, the development of a white light lidar system should be a boon to atmospheric physicists everywhere.
In the meantime I'm off to find some frickin' sharks.

Three details from 2008
Matt Haney,great ideas, great journalism
The topic can't be clsest to the reader and the explanation clearest. It's not 'exotic', not on the trend of visualizatin data, not spectacular, but the reader will appreciate them.
Maybe the style won't call your attention, maybe he's not inventing a visualization methd, but explains the information on a way very close to reader. They take the data and really explain them. Real explanations.
Houston, we've got a problem. One bar is growing and growing to the sky. Shall we cut it? No, the infrmation is precisely the terrific size of the bar.
Germany, mother of the infographics bussiness
Germany has two infographics studios at a very high level. Golden Section Graphics and Infografik KircherBurkhardt are developing really good infgraphics.
Berlin water system, by IKB
Golden Section, Jan Schowchow's bussiness, made this double spread for Pekín 2008
NYTimes.com are just better than themselves
They have nobody above them, so the only fight they have to win is against themselves, against relax. And they're winning it also. They do marvelous graphics like this one, where they encourage the reader to tell how they feel at the USA election night. And you can sort the results by the candidate they support or by time.

Good choices - but - I think the man and woman in the Squeezeplay graphic need some hair.
If infographics artists use 3D programes, they create a vsion so real that we expect it to be totally truthful.
I know they are 'diagram people' - but is likely that they would have hair. Why not use a pencil drawing for these people to give them some life, and keep the lovely architectural 3d models?
It is a very nice graphic in it's intention though. Very human and accesible.

Yes, I konw what you mean. If you're iconic, be iconic. And in thsi caos you can't be iconic because you're showing actual sizes and gestures on a real match. As I would like to say in the article, that graphics are not spectacular or sthetically great. There are some problems, as those you say, but I liked the general idea. And as a proud bald, I can't see a probelam with people without hair!:)

Kyrenia (Κερύνεια, also Girne in Turkish) is in Northern Cyprus.
A picturesque port with a population of just 22,000, Kyrenia is the most popular tourist destination in Northern Cyprus.
Get in
By air
Atlas air, Cyprus Turkish airlines fly to North Cyprus Ercan airport. Also if you fly to Larnaca airport you can cross the borders to stay free in North Cyprus Kyrenia.
By boat
Frequent ferry services operated by Fergün Shipping connect Kyrenia to Alanya (3½ hours, costing 78 TL/person one-way) and Taşucu (costing 60-68 TL/person one-way according to the fastness of the ferry) in Turkey.
By car
Get around
The best way to explore Kyrenia is with a rental car as public transportation is not that good in the Kyrenia area. If you are staying in the central Kyrenia there are "Lapta Dolmuş" (busses) to go to the beaches in the west side of Kyrenia.
Public busses are available from Kyrenia to Nicosia (capital city) and Famagusta. If you are visiting Güzelyurt then Çimen Taxi (7 seater ) is availalbe, as you are sharing the cost it is cheap.
The official currency of North Cyprus is Turkish Lira, TL. All major currencies are easily exchanged and most shops do accept Euro, £ British Pound and $ US Dollar. But it is always better to carry some Turkish Lira for small shops in the villages.
There are many somewhat touristy restaurants by the harbor. Try typical turkish cuisine such as lahmacun, meze, turkish kebab and flat breads. There are many markets selling fresh fruit and vegetables, olives, cheeses, breads and meats. For a splurge, take an excursion to Bellapais in the hills above Kyrenia, which has many classy restaurants.
There is lots of bars available around the Kyrenia.
Get out

klu needed a new other design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 22 designs submitted by 9 freelance designers.
I am an individual game programmer looking for a designer to help design some simple illustrative objects for my first iPhone game. I'm excited to code a game with some awe-inspiring graphics in it!
My target audience is for the age group 21 - 37. I would like illustrations that are professional and elegant, not something cartoony or silly looking. I like clean illustration without superfluous use of lines or objects.
Specifically, I am building a game called BeerStacker where, you guessed it, players stack cocktail glasses, wine glasses, mugs and other objects. Obviously, the aforementioned objects are what I would like designed. I would also like a lemon wedge, cherry, and ice cubes designed.
Some cool designs:
1. This is a little cartoony but not bad: http://99designs.com/contests/26759/entries/45
2. This is similar to the above but the illustration is fun and clean: http://99designs.com/contests/26759/entries/50

and i see you are jest so ; you aint afraid to take the re sponsibility ; and what's better still you are trying to encourage other folks to take the responsibility tu old hickory was a great hand to make principles and then fight em through and there agin 1 think you are a good deal like him and by the way 1 begin to feel quite a liking for president bonaparte of france for i see he's took the responsibility at last and been makin principles and fightin of em through there's some smart folks in the world yet and it's well there is for it's pretty likely there'll be a use for em be fore another year is out and then ano ther thing which makes me think you are so much like old hickory is the hoorahs why it seems to me i can hear em all the way from york to downingville ; and } it carries me right back to old times when the whole country was ringing with " boo rah for jackson i think dear governor you better stop here till next summer and not go back to hungary we shall have to make a new . president next summer and you might get : in to be president jest as easy as a cat j could lick her ear — and a president you j know is higher than governor had n't j you better take it ? i know you can get , it if you'll only say the word our par ties in this country have been so broke to | pieces and mixed up lately that nobody i could tell who to pitch upon for president and we've been a good deal worried for fear we shouldn't make out to choose any ! president at all next summer and i aint \ sure but what you've got here jest in the j nick of time to get us out of this scrape for if you'l only stand as candidate you'll go in all holler i never knew it fail when the hoorahs go up so strong as they have j been since you got to york we've got about twenty parties in this country now there's the old whig party and the old j democrat party and the wooly-head whigs and the silver-gray whigs and the hunker democrats and the barnbur ner democrats and the seward party and the regular free-soil party and the regu lar vote yourself a-farm party and the old abolition party and the old nullifica tion party that i and old hickory killed off and the co operation secessionists and the out and out go alone secessionist and now there's two new parties added that aint hardly three weeks old yet — the intervention parly and the non interven tion party ; and i believe these are divi ded again into the party for intervention without war and the party for interven tion war or no war it was lucky you took a stand and put your foot down when you first got to n york that you wouldn't be mixed up with any of our parties in this country for if you had once got fairly mixed in with em you would a found yourself in such a snarl that i am afraid you would wish yourself back to turkey again before you would ever get out of it and it's lucky on another account that you havn't mixed up with our twenty par ties for now you are the only man in the country that can get their votes as you haven't said nothin agin none of em they can all turn round and vote for you and if you'll only say the word they'll do it and glad of the chance ; for that seems to be the only way they can get handsome j ly out ofthe everlasting snarl they've got j into all over she country you needn't be afaid there's any thins in the way agin your being president to be sure there is some little rules laid down about it in our constitution but that can all be man aged well enough ; it only wants some body to take the responsibility folks cant always go accordin to the constitu tion when they get into a bad snarl ; they have to make new principles to go by — see how president bonaparte has jest jot out ol his snarl ; the constitution didn't stand in his way a bit he jest sot up a new principle and fit it out and you see he's come out all straight and now can wind his yarn any where to suit himself i don't see nolhin in the way to prevent your getting in to be president if you've a mind to you have n't mixed up with no party so woul'nt have to fight agin no party and it's pretty likely no party vvould'nt fight agin you but there's an other thing makes it more sure than all that you know this is a free country and all the offices belongs to every body and them that can make the best and the most stump speeches commonly gets in now i know we bave'nt got any body in this country from maine to texas nor from dan to beer sheba that can hold a candle to you in that kind of business — of course when i say this i mean the old bible dan and beer sheba there is an other dan in this country that if you should hapen to run a-foul of i don't know but the case might be different now it seems to me you better go in for the presidency instead of going back to hungary ; a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush any how ; and this coun try is fairly under your thumb now but hungary is still under the paw of the russian bear so that although you are the governor of hungary it's likely enough there would be a pesky hard scratch be fore you could govern it if you went back but i see some of the papers say that you aint governor of hungary now although they don't deny but what you was once i wish them papers had better manners they might jest as well say that i aint a major now because i aint all the time riding a hossback at the head of regiment of sogers no no that wont do ; it's non sense and impudence tu the rule in this country is once a major always a major and once a governor always a governor a man's title belongs to him as much as his name does my major belongs to me and your governor belongs to you and nobody hasn't any right to take it away from us any more than he has to upset a nation because it'sa principle and found ed in everlasting justice ; therefore it is not only the law of this country but it is the true and just law of nations ; and our government and our country not only ought to respect it themselves but tometke others respect it well now dear governor if you should not think it best to accept my offer about the presidency and should rather go back and run your chance in hungary the next question is to see what can be done for you on that score you say yon want that we that is all american and the uni versal yankee nation should say you have a fair right to be called governor of hun gary agreed ; i've already proved that you have that right and shall have it as long as you live there won't be no more trouble on that score that question is disposed of forever i hope in the next place you want us to say that hungary got herindependenceof aus tria fairly and ought to have it agreed to that too we say it and ought to stand to it all weathers hungary fit it out like a man and ought to be free for ever and a thousand years afterwards and the traitor gorgey ought to have his neck stretched and the russian bear ought to have his toe nails cut off and his nose muzzled so that he couldn't bite or scratch any body again nor interfere in other folk's domestic affairs in the next place you say you want " some thing else which as near as i can find oul by ihe papers means money matters and food and raiment and clothes and a few guns and the like of that because you are going back to have another tussle wiih austria and russia agreed to that too you shall have all you want jest hold you basket and we'll fill it if it is a dozen times a day i see money is be ginning to pour in upon you in a thousand liule streams and some pretty large rivers and it wont be long before you'll have a whole mint of it besides guns and knapsacks and catridge boxes when i read some of your speeches to our folks about your poor down-trodden coun try it made the lears come i tell ye cousin inabby said she would knii stocking all the winter and send them over for your sogers so they shouldn't have to go barefoot as ours did in the revolution aunt keziah said them two great cheeses that she was going to buy a silk gown with she would sell for money and send it to the kossuth fund in new ork uncle joshua said he would sell his three year old steer for he could do his ploughing next summer with the old oxen and send the money 0 vou cousin sargent joel sot in a deep study ;

NILES, IL, November 4, 2009 — Shure Incorporated announced that Shure Distribution UK Commercial Installation Sales Manager, Peter James, has been appointed as the Company's newest Managing Director. In this role, he will lead the direction and strategy of Shure Distribution UK and have overall responsibility for all its divisions, management team, and staff. Following the sudden passing of Dennis Harburn in March, Shure Distribution UK was operating with an interim managing director.Peter James
"It has taken time and careful consideration to decide on the individual to lead Shure UK. I'm pleased that Peter has accepted this position, as he offers a wealth of enthusiasm, determination, and experience," said Markus Winkler, Managing Director of Shure's EMEA Business Unit. "His understanding of the industry, dynamic attitude, and long term aspirations will help lead Shure into a new era of growth and competitiveness in the UK."
James brings more than 20 years of experience to this position, 12 of which have been with Shure Distribution UK. After arriving in the pro audio industry during the years of multi-track home recording, he has worked closely in all major vertical markets, including MI, DJ and phono, broadcast, live performance, and A/V. With a keen eye on customer service and a deep understanding of the importance of good customer relations, he is ideally suited to the role.
"Having worked with and been inspired by Dennis Harburn for many years, I'm very pleased to be able to carry on the legacy that he created and help to continue our long history of growth and profitability," said James. "Taking on the challenge of growing Shure's sales in the UK in the current environment is an opportunity that I relish. I want to ensure that we build on our reputation as the UK's leading pro audio distribution company and continue to develop and adapt to our customers' needs."

Good morning.
It's a bad day to be counting your gold and silver, but it could be a good — maybe even a great — day for stocks if this jobs report smashes analyst targets like the ADP monthly payrolls report did on Thursday.
Could happen. Societe Generale economist Brian Jones is one of the guys looking for a big number. His forecast for a 225,000 gain is miles above the MarketWatch estimate of 160,000. Read more from Calculated Risk.
At this point, markets are stuck in wait-and-see mode, but watch out. With uncertainty wafting through the air and investors plump with profits from Wednesday's big rally, it could be prognosis Hugo Chavez for stocks if the numbers disappoint.
(Update: Payrolls rise 155,000, short of our target but higher than many others).
Key market gauges: Gold futures /quotes/zigman/4331913 GCG3 are pulling back after Fed minutes suggested asset purchases may end this year.

The economy: The jobs report is the star of the show. Expectations were running at 160,000 jobs created in December along with a 7.7% unemployment rate. Later, the ISM will release its services sector index and the Commerce Department will deliver its factory orders data. Read our economic preview.
The buzz: Google's /quotes/zigman/93888 /quotes/nls/goog GOOG F.T.C. wrist slap is the talk of cyber-town today, with The New York Times calling it "a major victory" for the search giant. The stock rose after-hours Thursday but is hovering around breakeven premarket.

The call of the day: Herbalife /quotes/zigman/361145 /quotes/nls/hlf HLF , the stock that was eviscerated by short-seller Bill Ackman last month, charged higher Thursday and has logged two double-digit gains this week.

Earlier this month, San Antonio resident Daryl McClain's truck was stolen, so he spray-painted his garage with an empty threat and a reward to spread the word. His neighbors, however, aren't happy with the less-than-diplomatic words he decided to spread.
McClain wrote,
To the mother f…..that Stole my Truck. U R A..Dead MAN. 2K.NQA-info
According to the San Antionio Police Department, McClain has not broken any laws against profanity for "mother f…..," nor is "you are a dead man" a threat aimed at a specific person. McClain's neighbors don't like his implied profanity and they don't like cars rolling down the street, gawking at McClain's handiwork.
Despite his "$2,000 no questions asked" reward, McClain has received no leads on his stolen truck.
