In addition to its pair of new tablets, Microsoft announced today a bunch of new accessories for its Surface range.
The first generation Surface had two kinds of keyboard covers. There were the touch-sensitive ultra thin Touch Covers, available in a variety of colors, and the mechanical Type Covers, available only in black.
Both kinds of keyboards have been refreshed and updated. They're both now backlit, with a proximity sensor that disables the backlight if you move your hands away for a few moments. The caps lock key also has an LED indicator.
The Touch Covers have been extensively updated. The first Touch Covers had one touch sensor under each "key," except the space bar, which had two. The new Touch Covers have a grid of 1092 sensors, spanning the entire keyboard area. In a way, this means that the Touch Cover 2 acts a bit like a software keyboard. It can be forgiving if you slightly miss the key you were aiming at.
It also means that it doesn't actually have to be a keyboard. Microsoft says that the Touch Cover 2 will support a range of gestures on its "typing area."
The original Touch Cover worked far better than it had any right to. I originally expected it to feel like a Speak 'n' Spell, but it wasn't—it was a surprisingly viable typing solution. A cursory examination of the Touch Cover 2 suggests that it will be a superior replacement.
But never mind that. Type Cover 2 improves on the already excellent Type Cover in a truly important way: it's available in purple. There are some other colors too, but I don't care about them, because it's available in purple, and purple is honestly the best color ever invented. The switches have also been redesigned to make the cover 1mm thinner than before and virtually silent in operation. I really like the feel of the original Type Cover. After typing a few sentences into the Type Cover 2, it seems to be an equally good typing solution.
But again: purple. That alone is probably the biggest upgrade that any company could make to any piece of hardware.
The Type Cover 2 and Touch Cover 2 are both compatible with all Surface products: both the first generation Surface RT and Surface Pro, and the second generation Surface 2 and Surface Pro 2. They'll be available October 22, with preorders starting on September 24. Type Cover 2 will cost $129.99. Touch Cover 2 will be $119.99.
To these two keyboards, Microsoft is adding a third into the mix: the Power Cover. The Power Cover is essentially a slightly chunky first generation Type Cover. It's only available in black, and it doesn't have the backlight or caps lock indicator. What it does have is a battery of its own. This battery can extend the runtime of any attached Surface device by up to 50 percent.
The price you pay for this is a little weight—0.55lbs—and 9.75mm of thickness.
The Power Cover is going to become available in early 2014. It will be compatible with both new devices and the Surface Pro. It won't, however, work with the first generation Surface RT. Its price is expected to be $199.99.
Hotly anticipated, and also scheduled for arrival in early 2014, is the Docking Station for Surface Pro. The docking station will be compatible only with Intel devices. It clamps to the sides of the tablet, inserting connectors into the ports already exposed, leaving the keyboard connector unhindered. This means that you won't have to remove any attached keyboard cover to use the dock.
On the back of the dock are a bunch of ports: 1 USB 3.0, 3 USB 2.0, 10/100Mb Ethernet, 3.5mm audio jacks, and a DisplayPort output.
The dock should retail for $199.99 when it goes on sale.
So imagine you have your Surface Docking Station and are using a nice big desktop monitor with it. Using a keyboard attached to the Surface Pro will work, but it might be a bit awkward. You probably want to face your big monitor, not the Surface Pro's 10-inch screen. But another accessory might fill the gap—the Wireless Adapter for Typing Covers. This cylindrical device connects to the magnetic port on the covers and converts them into Bluetooth keyboards.
The adapter will be available to pre-order on September 24 and will cost $59.99.
And lastly, Microsoft is planning to sell a $49.99 in-car charger (cigarette lighter style) in early 2014.

Next June, Japanese collectible company Kotobukiya will be releasing this 12.5" statue of Isaac Clarke, as he appears in the upcoming Dead Space 3.
He looks... well, pretty amazing. Not to mention warm, all tucked up in that nice fluffy jacket. The lighting effects you see come from LEDs in his helmet, backpack and gloves, while he's also kind of poseable, with a joint in his neck.

two-tier board(redirected from 2-Tier Board)
Two-Tier Board
A corporate structure with two boards of directors. A management board oversees the company and provides general direction, while a supervisory board must approve of major business decisions. Half the supervisory board is elected by shareholders while the other half represents employee interests. It appoints the management board. A two-tier board is seen in German companies with the Aktiengesellschaft corporate structure.
two-tier boarda structure of the BOARD OF DIRECTORS of a company used in certain European countries, such as Germany and Norway, that comprises two tiers:
- a supervisory board, on which representatives of workers and management board are represented;
- a management board that is concerned with the day-to-day running of the business.
The supervisory board is responsible for formulating general policy and the management board with implementing policy. Two-tier boards have gained in popularity in Europe over the past two decades, compared with the UK and US style of unitary boards, and their development has been encouraged by the EUROPEAN UNION.

Last night, the Hotel du Cap played host to amfAR's Cinema Against AIDS 2010 benefit gala. This meant Lo, Kirsten Dunst, Grace Jones, Mary J., Michelle Williams, Emily Blunt, Kate Beckinsale, , Karl Lagerfeld, Marion Cotillard, Elizabeth Banks, Michelle Rodriguez…
Jennifer Lopez reminds us there's no place like home. And home, apparently, is a flamingo sanctuary by Cavalli.
Naomi Campbell's like, "gratuitous feathers are my thing. Step off."
Also rocking the trend we will term "blush," the ever-refined Ms. Scott-Thomas.
Mary J. Blige channels early Cassini.
Kate Beckinsale channels late-season Calla in (you guessed it) Armani.
Michelle Rodriquez is radiant in shocking pink.
While, embracing the whole "lady in red" thing (in every sense) we have Emily Blunt.
Rachel Bilson doe s a vaguely homespun black. (Even if it is Chanel.)
While Kirsten Dunst does an amazing take on deconstructed 40s glam.
And Marion Cotillard's overwhelming black hearkens back to YSL-for-Dior!
One can't help but wonder if Diane, a Chanel muse...
...coordinated with the Kaiser.
Michelle Williams is "new Hollywood" adorbs in what I'm gonna guess is Sonia Rykiel.
Carine Roitfeld, per usual, channels a sullen, goth and impeccably chic teenager.
It may be the worst look of the evening, but at least Elizabeth Banks' gown gives the impression of built in dam-technology irrigation!
But if the night belongs to anyone, it's Grace Jones.

The disaster left behind by Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico forced thousands of families to leave the island and come to the U.S.
More than 140,000 Puerto Ricans have already left and some were forced to leave behind special members of their families: their pets.
On Saturday, some of those families were able to see their furry friends again. Twenty-eight pets arrived by plane to the Ft. Lauderdale Executive Airport Saturday afternoon from San Juan.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
"This is like a roller coaster for me," dog owner Eddie Gonzalez said.
Gonzalez relocated to South Florida from Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria. He made the tough decision to leave his pit bull Maya behind with his parents. Financial strains after the storm made it nearly impossible to get Maya back in his arms.
"We couldn't find basically any option because of her pit bull breed, commercial airlines don't do it. You have to go to a private company and they were charging about $1,000," he said.
But now, because of the work of the American Humane Society, Wings of Rescue and Humane Society of Broward County, reunions are feasible.
"Look at all this happiness. I mean, those tears, that's what it's all about," said Ric Browde of Wings of Rescue.
Wings of Rescue's stated mission is "to fly dogs and cats from overcrowded shelters where they face a perilous future to empty shelters where they will not only be safe - but quickly adopted from."
This was the organization's first doggy delivery since the Category 5 hurricane. Another plane will arrive on Monday.
If your dog is part of the Wings of Rescue program and you have questions about the status of your pet, you can inquire here.

The following information corresponds with the article "The Trait Debate." You can find the article in Farm Journal's 2013 Seed Guide issue.
The European Union (EU) has historically been the bastion of anti-GMO (genetically modified organisms) fervor. However, it's having difficulty maintaining its stance against GMOs and, in the process, losing valuable research, scientists and money.
"A significant number of EU growers want the option to choose genetically modified seed. It gives them the ability to try new traits and varieties," says Andy LaVigne, CEO of the American Seed Trade Association (ASTA).
It is EU policymakers, not scientists and researchers, who are holding up their current regulatory process, LaVigne adds. As a result, only a few of the EU's 27 member states have accepted the rapid growth of genetically modified (GM) seeds. Not to mention, the time it takes the European Food and Safety Administration to authorize GM seed is substantially longer than anywhere else in the world.
The paradox. A vast majority of European consumers are concerned that if seed law opened up to more GM varieties, diversity in the market would be lost to large biotech companies. Consumption and imports have shown otherwise. Only two GM seed varieties are authorized for cultivation in the EU while 46 GM products are permitted for import. This paradox leaves many farmers and researchers feeling unwelcomed in their own country.
LaVigne warns what this might mean for the future of EU seed competition. "More seed companies will move out of Europe, bringing their newest innovations to other parts of the world," he says. This leaves EU countries at the mercy of imports more than ever before.
The European oil seed industry is just one example of what the trade deficit means for EU farmers. Only 2% of the 32 million tons of soybeans needed per year are produced by European seeds and grown in Europe. Interestingly enough, approximately 90% of imported soybeans come from biotech crops.
It is estimated that EU farmers could benefit between $593 million to $1.24 billion annually from adopting GM seed. This profit applies to both large producers and small specialty crop farmers as it opens up newfound freedom in choosing seed varieties.
The European Commission has considered allowing each member country to decide for itself instead of imposing bans across the continent. However, it might cause GM-free zones in disapproving member states.
Government say so. Most EU farmers and their industry counterparts are much like the U.S. in that they want to be innovative in their practices. Why is the U.S. leaping forward while the EU remains bound by restrictions?
"In general, the U.S. government bases its seed regulations on the potential of risk to the environment and to humans, in terms of toxicity and handling safety," LaVigne says. "Seed traits that have been approved have been shown to pose none of these risks."
The difference between the European and U.S. perspective is that in the U.S. there is a higher level of respect for the government's regulatory system and the scientific studies, testing and oversight conducted by USDA and the Environmental Protection Agency, LaVigne notes. "The result is that our farmers have confidence in the GM seeds they select," he adds.

"Laptops, when combined with teaching & learning software and interactive e-texts, are enabling our students to become more effectively involved in applying"
Steve Latter, Laptop Program Director, Paul VI Catholic High School
Paul VI Catholic High School, established in 1983, is one of four secondary schools in the Arlington Diocesan school system of Virginia. From an original enrolment of 350 students, it has grown to a current capacity of 1,000 young men and women who seek the well-rounded educational experience that it offers.
Paul VI Catholic School wanted to develop a laptop program that would equip its students and teachers with the right tools to increase classroom learning, prepare their students for college, and to develop the 21st Century skillsets required by today's employers.
Following a comprehensive selection process, the school chose to provide 1,000 students, and 75 teachers with the Fujitsu LIFEBOOK T732/4 laptop. The school also chose DyKnow's teaching & learning software as part of the overall strategy.

Medallion competition draws top high school seniors
Feb. 4, 2003
KALAMAZOO--About 800 of the brightest high school seniors in Michigan and 13 other states will gather at Western Michigan University over two Saturdays, Feb. 8 and 15, for the 19th annual Medallion Scholarship Competition.
These academic stars from more than 300 high schools will converge on the WMU campus to compete for more than $4 million in four-year scholarships to attend WMU beginning this fall. Accompanying the students will be more than 1,000 parents, who will take part in informational sessions and other activities.
The Medallion Scholarship Competition is one of the biggest events of its kind in Michigan. Since it began in 1984, about $80 million in four-year scholarships has been offered to more than 13,000 students.
The annual event allows students to compete for Medallion Scholarships worth $32,000, Board of Trustees Scholarships worth $24,000 and WMU Academic Scholarships worth $4,800. This year's awards will be offered by March 31.
The prestigious Medallion Scholarships cap off the competition and are among the largest merit awards in American public higher education. To date, these top awards have amounted to nearly $7 million and have been given to 314 students, including 27 students in 2002.
Only the cream of the crop of each year's high school graduating classes is invited to attend the Medallion Scholarship Competition. To be invited, students had to apply to WMU by Dec. 31 and have at least a 3.8 grade point average and American College Test score of 25 or higher.
In determining recipients for the three types of scholarships offered, the selection committee considers grades, courses, test scores and performance in the on-campus competition, as well as leadership activities, recommendations and, in some cases, personal interviews.
The students invited to compete this year include 412 who have perfect 4.0 GPAs and 171 who have ACT scores of 30 or higher--the highest being 35.
Event registration will take place from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m. in the first floor lobby of the Bernhard Center.
At 9:30 a.m. in the center's East Ballroom, the Medallion Scholarship Competition participants will be welcomed by John Fraire, WMU dean of admissions. Also welcoming these admitted students will be Dr. E. Thomas Lawson, chairperson of the Medallion Committee and professor of comparative religion, and Jodi Ward, competition coordinator and assistant director of admissions.
In the morning, representatives from more than 30 University departments and offices will be available to provide information about services and resources they offer. Throughout the rest of the day, students participating in the competition will take part in essay writing and group problem solving activities. They also will attend panel discussions featuring some of the current Medallion Scholarship recipients and representatives of the Lee Honors College.
The parent agenda will feature sessions on the Lee Honors College, financial aid, housing and study abroad as well as discussions with current scholarship recipients and parents of current recipients. In addition, parents will have an opportunity to tour the Eldridge-Fox residence halls and the Student Recreation Center.
Other venues for competition-related activities include Sangren Hall, Wood Hall, the Fetzer Center, Schneider Hall and the Lee Honors College building.

Asterix And Obelix: God Save Britannia
Trailer [FR]
by Laurent Tirard
The year is 50 AD and Julius Caesar is hungry for new conquests. At the helm of his triumphant legions, he decides to invade a small island at the very edge of the known world, a mysterious land named Britain. Victory is swift and total... almost. A small village manages to resist, but it can't hold out for long, so the Briton Queen Cordelia sends her most faithful officer Anticlimax to seek aid in Gaul, in a small village known for its stubborn resistance to the Romans. In this Gaul village, Asterix and Obelix already have their hands full, since their chief has entrusted them with the task of making a man of his good-for-nothing nephew Justforkix, freshly arrived from Lutetia - a task that is proving all but easy. When Anticlimax arrives to ask for help, Asterix and Obelix are tasked with escorting him back to Britain with a barrel of their famous magic potion, with Justforkix in tow as the journey seems an excellent opportunity to educate the boy. However, nothing quite turns out as planned...

During the last month, we've had some pretty remarkable developments concerning lost dogs and their owners.
In mid July, a golden retriever was found at the Chestnut Hill News Stand. After publicizing the dog on our website and Facebook page, the dog was quickly reunited with its owners. Just last week, a young dog named Truman was lost on Germantown Avenue. We ran a notice on our website and on our Facebook page and posted a video Brian Rudnick captured of Truman's owners, Robin Gold and William Russell, handing out fliers. Truman was found after nearly a week of being lost and is currently recuperating at an animal hospital.
The intriguing thing about both of these stories, aside from the fact that both turned out to have relatively happy endings, is the interest residents of Chestnut Hill showed in spreading the word and helping to make sure both pets were returned to their worried owners.
During the course of a regular day, we push anywhere from four to eight stories online and share those stories via Facebook. A typical story with a photo on Facebook is seen by 200 to 300 people. The Facebook post about the golden retriever was shared and viewed by nearly 10,000 people.
No other news item we've ever run or a Facebook notice ever made generated nearly the same amount of interest. Some of our staff members even said that they were asked for updates during the last few days Truman was lost. Nothing else was important. Everyone wanted to know: Has that dog been found yet?
What does that say about Hillers and their dogs? And why do a couple of lost dogs garner such attention and concern? Why are lost dogs more important than anything else?
I understand that people grow attached to their pets – and to dogs in particular. But it's something that one family's lost dog becomes the most widely shared and read story ever on our Facebook page.
Perhaps a big part of it is this: Not only is a lost dog an innocent in distress, the fact that it might be found and returned to its owner is a story that people really feel they can influence and be part of. One can look for and find a dog. One can spread the word and by doing so increase the chances that someone will find the missing dog and return it to safety.
A lot of other things we report on, even those things that do attract the attention of readers – from an afternoon sidewalk mugging to a longtime shop closing – are not things our readers feel they can actively engage. They don't feel as if they can change the economy or that they can have a hand in stemming crime. Those stories are informative but not actionable. In this case, readers actually did intervene and in one way or another were part of a network that made sure the stories of these dogs had happy endings.
Of course, the most important thing is not the sociology but the fact that two dogs were found and returned to their owner. That we can be a part of it is an added bonus and demonstrates something about the community that is a pleasant surprise: In this day and age of disengagement and cynicism, we still can connect and help each other out.

Where: Woodwork; 10132 100th St.
Dinner for two, without liquor: about $75-$100
Reservations: 780-757-4100; woodworkyeg.com
Wheelchair accessible
EDMONTON - From food truck to successful downtown restaurant is not an easy transition.
One minute you're slinging beans and smoked meat and mac 'n' cheese through a little window on some street corner; the next you're opening a full-scale eatery complete with tables and chairs, to say nothing of a cool cocktail bar, charcuterie room and a kitchen centred around wood-fired cooking.
Yet Mike Scorgie, the young chef behind Edmonton's popular Nomad food truck, along with business partner and bartender extraordinaire Andrew Borley, have proven themselves up to the challenge by creating Woodwork. The new downtown hot spot maintains the authenticity and informality of Nomad's mobile cuisine while elevating it to something worthy of a more permanent, settled home.
The space itself, on the main floor of the historic McLeod building on 100th Street just north of Jasper, is long, narrow, and bustling to the point of noisy; simple and modern in that chic-without-pretension way.
Like the room, the menu is varied but manageable, interesting but not overreaching. There are bar snacks including a charcuterie plate — meat and the curing of it being a specialty here — some smaller plates for sharing or light meals, a handful of entrees and several desserts.
The food is a mix of wood-fired ingredients with southern influences and French techniques that intrigue without intimidating. Even the French-to-English translation of some of the cooking terms at the end of the menu comes off as helpful and charming rather than annoying.
The cocktail menu is an adventure in itself, featuring romantically old-as-new-again spirits like absinthe and Aperol alongside unusual liqueurs in flavours such as allspice, pear and cherry.
My Dry-nuary-observing friend (think of January in Edmonton without the solace of alcohol), recommended Woodwork's non-spirited drinks including the house-made celery soda and walnut lemonade, which were both surprisingly delicious.
So too was the concoction better suited to my own observation of Gin-uary, the Violet Fizz ($13), a gorgeously tasty mix of gin, frothy egg whites, violet liqueur and lemon-garnished with a small orchid that, while edible, won more points for beauty and originality than taste (sorry Mother Nature). The Woodwork house sour, a modern take on the Dad classic, was also a hit.
On an earlier visit, a friend and I sampled a few smaller plates and a cocktail before catching a movie. This time we were more serious, tackling entrees and desserts as well.
A favourite on both trips was the brassica kale salad ($13), in which the sturdy greens are massaged first in a vinaigrette to soften them, tossed with charred cauliflower and tangy, aged farm cheese, then topped with a delicately poached egg — so delicious.
The steak tartare ($13) was also a winner, with fresh, finely chopped and perfectly seasoned raw beef mixed with bits of sweet red beet, a touch of grated fresh horseradish and an egg yolk, served with crisp potato wafers. If you yearn to unleash your inner caveman, this is the place to do it; trust me.
Likewise the mac and cheese, raised to local legend status when sold off the Nomad food truck as "crack 'n' cheese" with gouda, tomato concasse and pork crackling. It lives on at Woodwork and is not to be missed.
Scorgie's much-loved baked beans, at once both comforting and fresh, served with a bit of charred red pepper crème fraîche, have also survived the transition from truck to table, paired with back ribs and coleslaw and served on a slab of wood ($18 for a half rack; $25 for a full).
Don't expect the overflowing platter you might have had at local barbecue joints, though. Portions at Woodwork are reasonable but not huge, the food being more about quality than quantity.
The ribs are tender and meaty, smoky and spicy without being bathed in cloying sauce. The coleslaw, so often chopped, sweetened or creamed to within an inch of its life, is instead allowed to just be cabbage, cut in coarse strips, marinated in a simple vinaigrette enhanced with caraway seed.
Our second entree was a sometimes tricky cut of meat — hanger steak ($24) — again treated expertly but without flourish to maximize its great flavour. Cooked sous vide (sealed in a bag and cooked in a warm water bath) and then seared to perfect medium-rare, the humble cut, dolloped with a bit of delectably flavoured butter, was utterly transformed.
Again, in Woodwork's understated way, it was served with hickory fries and a little cup of aioli. No veg (unless you count potatoes); no showy garnish. The fries are slim, hot, perfectly crisp with a hint of hickory, if a bit oversalted.
Desserts were small but worthy of savouring: house-made tiger-tiger ice cream with Aperol-orange marmalade and shaved biscotti ($8); plus a pear and goat cheese galette ($10) that was warm and comforting with just the right contrast of soft fruit, creamy cheese and flaky pastry.
Service was great on both our visits with the same knowledgeable, friendly server. A brief hiccup when no table was available at our reserved time was resolved quickly and professionally.
Our only other small complaint was the lack of coffee one recent night when the restaurant's lever-style espresso machine — a favourite of purists but notoriously finicky — was on the fritz.
Woodwork is also open for lunch weekdays, with the odd exception of Wednesday. For dinner, it's open every day, again, except Wednesday.

By Matthew Citak
Thursday marks the day of this year's NBA draft, where 60 young men will get drafted to play in the NBA. While everyone knows about the big names out there, such as Nerlens Noel, Alex Len, Otto Porter, and Victor Oladipo, there are numerous guys being projected as second round picks that could end up having some of the more noteworthy careers from this draft class. While this might be the first time you hear of these names, it certainly won't be the last. Here is our list of the Top 5 Sleeper picks in the 2013 NBA Draft.
5. Colton Iverson
There are several reasons why Colton Iverson is projected to be a low second round pick. For starters, he only had one successful season in college. After three subpar years at Minnesota, Iverson transferred to Colorado State where he finally had a solid season, averaging 14.2 points and 9.8 rebounds per game. In those first three seasons, he never averaged more than 5.4 points. Secondly, because he transferred, Iverson was forced to sit out one year. This makes him one year older than the other graduating seniors in the draft.
At 24 years old, some teams may shy away from drafting the big man. However, whoever does decide to roll the dice on Iverson is going to get a very solid backup center, helped by his size, strength, and willingness to do the dirty work underneath the basket. Iverson has already shown that he is dedicated to having a successful NBA career. Since his season ended, Iverson has worked to shed body fat to help with his speed and has been working on his mid-range jump shot. Barring any injuries or unforeseen events, Iverson is in for a very long NBA career.

4. Myck Kabongo
If it weren't for the 23 game suspension he received this past season, Kabongo would have been a sure first round pick. But he was suspended, and only played 11 games, dropping him out of the talks as one of the country's elite point guards and into the second round of the draft. Kabongo is extremely quick, which helps him get to the basket easily. His quickness, along with his quick hands and his 6'6" wingspan, makes him a very good defender. In his 11 games for Texas, Kabongo averaged 14.6 points per game, along with 5.5 assists and 2.0 steals. The young point guard is a very good ball handler with great court vision, and does a great job of delivering the ball right where a catch-and-shoot teammate wants it.
Kabongo's length makes him one of the better rebounding point guards in this draft, averaging 5.0 per game last season. Kabongo has the potential to be a very solid point guard in the NBA, but his inconsistency and lack of readiness has led to teams shying away from the 21-year-old guard. After some experience in the NBA and after developing his game under the right coach, Kabongo could have a bright future ahead of him.
3. James Ennis
Similar to Kabongo, Ennis does not have that much basketball experience on a high level. He played just two years at Long Beach State after transferring from Ventura Junior College. However, he did see some great success while at Long Beach State. Last season Ennis averaged 16.0 points and 6.5 rebounds per game. He is a 6'7" small forward with a near 7' wingspan, using his long arms to jump passing lanes. Ennis is incredibly athletic and had some spectacular dunks this past season. He is strong, explosive, and very aggressive when attacking the basket.
One of Ennis' strengths is his textbook shooting motion and his ability to get a shot off in rhythm. He shot 36% from the 3PT line this past season, a solid percentage for a player his size. Ennis has already shown that he is willing to put the work in to become a great player. Since the end of the season, he has participated in numerous showcases in order to show off his skills, playing at the Portsmouth Invitational along with a few group workouts. Ennis has shown nothing but improvement over the last year, and with a work ethic like that, could end up being one of the best scorers to come out of this draft class.

2. Grant Jerrett
Normally you leave for the draft after a great season in college. Jerrett did the opposite. After not receiving as many minutes last season as he would have liked, along with the great recruiting class Arizona had, Jerrett decided to bolt for the NBA knowing his stock would be low after averaging only 5.2 points and 3.6 rebounds per game. However, at the NBA Combine, he began to turn heads, showing off his size and shooting. Jerrett stands at 6'10". Not that many people his size can shoot 40.5% from the 3PT line. In the perimeter shooting test at the Combine, Jerrett shot 72%, one of the top performances of all the players there.
While his freshmen year performance was all-around disappointing, he did show some flashes of greatness. In the March 2nd contest against UCLA, Jerrett finished the game with 14 points, going 4-5 from long range. At 19 years old, Jerrett would definitely be a long-term project for whoever drafts him. However, with the potential of him becoming a very serviceable stretch 4 sometime down the road, he is definitely worth the risk.
1. Ricardo Ledo
Of all the players on this list, Ledo has the best chance of being drafted in the first round. Most mock drafts project him going somewhere between the very end of the first round and the beginning of the second. Ledo comes into the draft as being one of the more interesting stories. He got to Providence his freshmen year after being a highly-regarded high school prospect. However, because of academic issues Ledo never became eligible to play for Providence, and declared for the draft after sitting out the entire year. Even with his lack of game-experience during the last year, Ledo still enters the draft as one of the most talented shooting guards.
He is considered to be one of the best ball handlers in the draft, as well as one of the most versatile players. He uses his ball handling skills to create separation between him and the defender, helping him to create his own shot. At 6'6", Ledo can guard multiple positions and can play multiple positions himself. He also has a very high basketball I.Q., has a great ability to see the floor and is capable of serving as the primary ball handler at times. There is no question that Ledo has a ton of talent and potential. Had he played this past season at Providence, there is a good chance we'd be discussing a top 10 player instead of a borderline first rounder. Ledo is a risk at the end of the first round. But if he can sort out his character issues and realize his potential in the NBA, Ledo could very well end up being one of the best players to come out of this draft class.

Hey-mul Pajun
Editor's note: The recipe and introductory text below are excerpted from restaurateur Jenny Kwak's book, Dok Suni: Recipes from My Mother's Korean Kitchen. Kwak also shared some helpful cooking tips exclusively with Epicurious, which we've added at the bottom of the page.
To read more about Kwak and Korean cuisine, click here.
It is said that because Korea was almost all surrounded by water, Koreans looked seaward for culinary inspiration. Hey-mul pajun, a simple and reliable treat, is a good example of this. My parents both spoke of this dish when I was growing up. My father ate it when his family had little to eat, and still to this day he enjoys it with a bottle of soju (sweet potato vodka). My mother told me that the aroma of the dish was so good that it would entice her neighborhood girlfriends to peek over the walls that divided the homes and ask, "Hey, can I come eat that with you?" And because the girls enjoyed the company as much as the food, they sat by the fire cooking up one pancake at a time, talking and eating until their mothers called them back home.
- Yield
- Serves 3 to 4
- 7 ounces fresh squid (calamari)
- 18 ounces fresh shrimp
- 2 ounces oysters
- 2 cups flour
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 2 eggs
- 2 teaspoons crushed garlic
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 5 ounces scallions, chopped into 1-inch pieces
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- Dipping Sauce:
- 2 teaspoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 1. Clean all seafood and slice thin. Keep aside.
- 2. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, water, and eggs, and with hands, mix in a massaging motion. Then add the shrimp, squid, garlic, and salt, and with hands, delicately make 5 full rotations to mix in these ingredients to the batter.
- 3. Add the oysters and scallions and make 5 more delicate rotations with hands.
- 4. Over a medium flame, heat 1/2 teaspoon of oil in a frying pan. Then in heated pan, spread the batter, thinly covering the whole pan. Heat until egg is cooked. Continue this step until all batter is used.
- 5. Prepare the dipping sauce by mixing in all the ingredients in a medium bowl. Serve the seafood pancake cut in manageable sizes for the dipping sauce.

This place use to be fun
It would have cost some legit prospects for Span/Pierre/Victorino/DeJesus, and I still may have done it, but improving your team doesn't have to be expensive. It's as simple as finding something better than what you currently have. That's on Jocketty.
Constantly using players in the wrong spots is on Dusty. Ondrusek had no business in this game. You have Broxton. Use him.

A solution to the leadoff problem would have been nice, but it doesn't make Jay Bruce look any less terrible at the plate. Mes isn't hitting either, in general I feel like our catchers offensive production has dwindled (Navarro's HR aside).
I dont care, Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. Hes in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.
Witness this. No matter the pitching, there is not a good team in baseball that's lineup reads .247' .233, .295, .260, .243, .266,.154, .217. Not one. It's really horrible and yet many want to point at a two game lead as exemplary. It's simply a miracle. I watch lots of baseball, but i haven't seen one contender with a lineup so void of offense. It's pitiful. Watching Latos, Cueto, and even Leake pitch their hearts only to lose Becausebthe team was so offense challengedthey could only score six runs. Thank you Wilson Valdez, Drew Stubbs, Jay Bruce, and many others for your good works. I'm out of here for real. Wish me relaxation at the beach. I wish you lots of homeruns, because that is apparently the only way the Reds can score. Oh yeah, there is always da bunt. Great God...

Would I have made a bigger move by giving up legit prospects? Probably. That's just my nature, I never love prospects. I like them as friends. I will gladly gamble today with a proven ML player than gamble tomorrow with potential stars. But I'm not one to stew over the lack of a blockbuster, and I understand why some may be hesitant to pull that trigger. I do stew over 2012 Miguel Cairo getting daily ABs in a pennant race, and entering the 9th inning with only 2 utility men to throw up to bat.
And FWIW, Overbay has a career OBP of .354, and OPS of .794. That's more than a minimal upgrade to the bench.

Am I crazy about Ondrusek? No. But he's not as bad as you and others would have people believe. Like I said, I think he's an average reliever. I don't see anything "open and shut" to the contrary. We can debate semantics about that all day, but it's still pretty subjective. Depends on what your cup of tea is regarding stats.

I didn't see any of the game but it sounds like the Reds had a chance early to knock Volstad out and didn't do it. The Reds have reverted back to the April/May form of no clutch hitting. Someday Dusty will figure out that Ondrusek is spent for this season and rarely, if ever use him. But I'm afraid the season will be over before he figures this out. Where was Broxton? Isn't this what the Reds got him to do? Before this series started I felt like the Reds needed to beat the Cubs 6 of 8 over the next two weekends. The Cubs are horrible and you have to beat up on them. They have used up one of those two losses already. They had better turn it around quickly or that run of winning 22 of 25 is going to be distant memory and a total waste for the season.
Reds Fan Since 1971
I missed the game, so I'm late to the party. Two things. 1) Why does Dusty Baker continue to use Logan Ondrusek in high leverage situations? He is a bad pitcher. 2) Why pinch hit for Devin Mesoraco, but not Wilson Valdez and his .491 OPS?

- For the actual potion, see SecretPotion.
The Secret Potion is the name of a type of potion used in Pokémon: Gold, Pokémon: Silver, Pokémon: Crystal, Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl, Pokémon: Platinum, Pokémon: HeartGold and Pokémon: SoulSilver. It is a Key Item, as it is essential to passing through the games it appears in.
The Player can't actually use it. It must be delivered to the character that requests it( in the case of Diamond, Pearl, and Platinum, Cynthia). It can apparently heal any injury, as it healed Jasmine's Ampharos HP wise, and also the confusion( portrayed as a headache) contracted by the Psyduck Cynthia needed healed, even though the statuses healed were different.
- Even though it is a potion, it cannot be used by the player.
- Apparently, it can heal any ailment, similarly to a Full Restore.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel said today he still hasn't decided whether to endorse the demolition of the old Prentice Women's Hospital, even though the alderman who represents the area that includes the building said he's leaning toward supporting knocking it down.
Emanuel said he still plans to meet again with proponents both of saving and tearing down the building in the Streeterville neighborhood, which Northwestern University wants to replace with a new biomedical research facility. Preservationists hope to save the building, which was designed by architect Bertrand Goldberg.
"Right after I've gotten done with the budget and a couple other things, I'm going to be having a follow-up meeting with the two respective other groups in this process, to see if we can't find what I think are the right priorities for the city of Chicago going forward," Emanuel said at an unrelated news conference.
Asked what possible compromise he might be able to forge, Emanuel said he's still trying to figure it out.
"That is the riddle, and I'm working towards that," he said. "And there may not be common ground or a third way, and then we'll have to deal with that. But most importantly, on the first step, this was a conversation between Northwestern and the preservationists. I think, the way I believe is, there are people that live there, operate there and have businesses. And they should be part of that conversation as well, because they're part of that community."
During a Monday appearance at the City Club of Chicago, Ald. Brendan Reilly, who represents Streeterville, said his inclination is to back the university's plan to replace Prentice with a new building. None of the alternate plans preservationists have brought forward are appropriate for the Prentice building, which is currently vacant, Reilly said. But he added he's still open to other ideas for the site.
Aldermen are traditionally given a great deal of leeway to make zoning and construction decisions within their wards.
A proposal to grant landmark status to the Prentice building is pending before the Commission on Chicago Landmarks. If the city grants the protection, it would be much more difficult for Northwestern to significantly alter or tear down the concrete building.

Padres' Cabrera eyes return trip to All-Star Game
Shortstop, who didn't play in '13 Midsummer Classic, one of eight Friars on ballot
The Padres haven't had a repeat All-Star since reliever Heath Bell made the National League team in 2010 and '11.
Can shortstop Everth Cabrera pull off this feat this season?
Cabrera is one of eight Padres on the NL All-Star ballot for the Midsummer Classic on July 15 at Target Field in Minneapolis.
Cabrera, who was named to the 2013 NL All-Star team as a reserve, but didn't play in the game, is off to another fast start for the Padres.
Entering play Wednesday, Cabrera had 25 hits in the Friars' first 20 games, with eight extra-base hits and two stolen bases. He also leads the team with a .305 batting average.
A year ago, Cabrera parlayed a fast start -- he hit .291 in the first half with a .373 on-base percentage -- into his first All-Star nod.
"Last year sort of put him on the map as far as recognition," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He's off to a nice start this year. I think it takes time for most players to get national recognition. I think he's started to get that."
Other Padres on the ballot are catcher Yasmani Grandal, first baseman Yonder Alonso, second baseman Jedd Gyorko, third baseman Chase Headley and outfielders Carlos Quentin, Chris Denorfia and Will Venable.
Fan voting at Petco Park will begin on May 4 and continue through June 20.
Fans can cast their votes for starters at MLB.com and all 30 club sites -- online or on a mobile device -- using the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot Sponsored by Experian until Thursday, July 3, at 8:59 p.m. PT. The 2014 All-Star Game will be played at Target Field on Tuesday, July 15.
Fans may submit up to 25 online ballots, but they can also earn a one-time bonus of 10 additional online ballots. To access these additional online ballots, you must be logged into your MLB.com account when you submit any online ballot.

The 2014 Home Run Derby will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN HD, ESPN Deportes and ESPN Radio in the United States beginning at 5 p.m. PT on Monday, July 14.
The 2014 American League and NL All-Star teams will be unveiled on the 2014 MLB All-Star Game Selection Show during the weekend of July 5-6, with further details to follow on MLB.com. Immediately following the announcement of the AL and NL All-Star rosters, fans can begin voting to select the final player for each league's 34-man roster via the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Final Vote Sponsored by Experian. Fans will cast their votes from a list of five players from each league over the balloting period.

Two forms of glue hold the euro together. First, the economic costs of break-up would be great. The minute investors heard that Greece was seriously contemplating reintroducing the drachma with the purpose of depreciating it against the euro, or against a "new Deutsche mark," they would wire all their money to Frankfurt. Greece would experience the mother of all banking crises. The "new Deutsche mark" would then shoot through the roof, destroying Germany's export industry.In the conclusion, he says "I argued that it is the roach motel of currencies. Like the Hotel California of the song: you can check in, but you can't check out." To be precise, that's true of the Roach Motel (see here, if you don't know what that's all about), but, according to the Eagles, you can actually check out of the Hotel California, though you can never leave (hmm... sounds kind of like "Brexit"...).
More generally, those predicting, or advocating, the euro's demise tend to underestimate the technical difficulties of reintroducing national currencies.
In any case, the fact it hangs together because eurozone members feel trapped by the costs of exit is hardly an affirmative case for the single currency. In Greece's case, its hard to believe that the costs of exit really would have been higher than the costs of staying; this FT Alphablog post by Matthew Klein pointed out this figure from the IMF's Article IV report:
IMF also released a self-evaluation of its Greece program, which Charles Wyplosz analyses in a VoxEU column. See also: this Martin Sandbu column and this article by Landon Thomas. Matt O'Brien's write-up of research by House, Tesar and Proebsting of the impact of austerity in Europe is also relevant.
The fact that the eurozone rolls on with no sign that a depression in one of its smaller constituent economies is enough to bring about a fundamental change is disturbing. It wouldn't be able to ignore an election of Marine LePen as President of France - Gavyn Davies considers the consequences of that.
Update: Cecchetti and Schoenholtz also had a good post on the implications of a LePen win.

How to build a multijurisdictional homeland security framework.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency's National Preparedness Goal outlines how local, state, tribal and federal partners, as well as nongovernmental partners should aim to achieve "a secure and resilient nation with the capabilities required across the whole community to prevent, protect against, mitigate, respond to, and recover from the threats and hazards that pose the greatest risk." There are a few key success factors to building a collaborative multidisciplinary, multijurisdictional homeland security framework, as well as a few consequences of not operating this way.
Institutionalizing coordination. Homeland security and public safety agencies often have limited manpower and limited time to dedicate to making coordination a part of daily business at all experience levels of an agency (not just senior management officials). Everyone benefits when leaders ensure that all staff have an appropriate cross-discipline, cross-jurisdictional lens. It may seem like an "extra" phone call or meeting, but in the long run it saves time in building capacity for planning and operations.
Partnership-building among organizations versus individuals. The value of relationship-building is key to the homeland security field, but it is often viewed as part of the "softer side," or an indirect positive outcome of the years put in by senior management. Relationships are often on a one-to-one basis, versus an entire organization. This can be limiting as time goes on and leaders retire while the junior management staff is learning the value of crucial relationships. If relationship-building becomes a formal part of professional development in this field, it will serve everyone and serve incident response. Strong organizational relationships are lauded as one of the key success factors in the Pentagon 9/11 response.
Understanding how diverse emergency support functions make the entire system stronger. From emergency management to law enforcement to fire and rescue to public health to hospitals to public safety communications—there is a common mission, but very distinct roles are needed to meet this mission. The cross-pollination of knowledge—as in "What can you help me with when %&$! hits the fan?" and "Did you know I can help you with [insert situational awareness, traffic management, security detail, analysis of symptoms, 50 cots, pediatric IVs, etc.] when %&$! hits the fan?"—strengthens the seams of response and ultimately enhances safety across our communities.
The following consequences may be on the horizon when these golden rules are not in play:
- Operational plans, policies and procedures at some agencies may not be in alignment with other agencies, which may impact a large-scale response.
- Key partners may not be aware of projects, updates and opportunities that could support their mission.
- Agencies may miss out on opportunities to achieve more with less resources by working together to tackle common issues.
- Partners are sometimes forgetful or are hesitant to engage colleagues from other disciplines or emergency support functions if they are not 100 percent clear about how they can help.
What success factors do you think are most important for achieving our National Preparedness Goal?

Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter is appealing for other donors to join Britain in a multimillion dollar campaign to wipe out guinea worm, a crippling and painful parasitic disease that now exists only in four African countries.
British officials have pledged 20 million pounds (US$31 million) over four years to the cause — but only if other donors also open their wallets.
The global campaign to eradicate guinea worm started in 1980, when there were about 3.5 million cases of the disease, also known as dracunculiasis, every year across Africa and Asia.
Since then, cases have dropped by more than 99 percent, but the disease remains a problem in South Sudan, Ethiopia, Mali and Chad. Last year, there were 1,797 cases.
The Carter Center and partners, including the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, aim to get rid of guinea worm disease by 2015.
There is no treatment or cure; the disease is eliminated by stopping people from drinking dirty water and by preventing infected people from wading into water and spreading the disease. Health campaigns that focus on changing behavior are often more difficult to implement than those that rely on medicines or vaccines.
Smallpox is the only disease in history to have been eradicated, while another effort to get rid of polio is also ongoing.
People get infected with guinea worm when they drink water infected with the larvae of the parasite.
About a year after someone is infected, the spaghetti-like worm, which can grow up to 1 meter in length, bursts out of their foot. That painful process can take months, often leaves the patient bedridden, and involves winding the worm around a stick so it doesn't break.
Guinea worm disease "prevents people from escaping poverty," Carter said in a statement. "I welcome the challenge laid down by the British government. I call on other donors to match their efforts."

Exelon(R)Patch, The First And Only Skin Patch For The Treatment Of Alzheimer's Disease, Receives First Worldwide Approval In US
October 21, 2017
Exelon Patch
(rivastigmine transdermal system) has received its first worldwide approval
in the United States as an innovative way to deliver an effective medicine
for mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease patients through a skin patch
instead of an oral capsule.
This new therapy is the first and only transdermal treatment for this degenerative condition affecting millions of people in the US. Exelon Patch offers effective treatment based on placebo-controlled clinical trial results showing significant benefits to patients in terms of their memory and overall functioning.
Exelon Patch maintains steady drug levels in the bloodstream, improving tolerability and allowing a higher proportion of patients to receive therapeutic doses compared to the capsule form of the medication. It is applied to the back, chest or upper arm, and provides smooth and continuous delivery of medication through the skin over 24 hours.
Gastrointestinal side effects are commonly seen with this class of drugs called cholinesterase inhibitors. The recommended dose of Exelon Patch greatly reduces these side effects, with three times fewer reports of nausea and vomiting than with the capsule form of the drug.
"Exelon Patch represents a significant advance in the treatment of this debilitating disease," said George Grossberg, MD, Director of Geriatric Psychiatry, St. Louis University School of Medicine, St. Louis, Missouri. "The unique delivery system helps both the patient and the caregiver by providing an easy way to manage their therapy. The patch provides a visual reassurance for the caregiver that the patient is receiving their medication and helps the patient stay engaged in their daily lives."
Exelon Patch is expected to be available in US pharmacies soon. The medication was submitted for review in the European Union in late 2006.
The patch was designed with compliance in mind and was preferred to capsules by 70% of caregivers as a method of drug delivery according to clinical study data, because it helped them follow the treatment schedule, interfered less with their daily life and was easier to use overall than the oral medication.
The approval of Exelon Patch is based on results from the international IDEAL (Investigation of transDermal Exelon in ALzheimer's disease) clinical trial, involving nearly 1,200 patients with mild to moderate Alzheimer's disease. Exelon Patch showed similar efficacy to the highest doses of Exelon capsules and the recommended dose (9.5 mg/24 hours) was generally well tolerated by patients.
"Innovation isn't just about developing new compounds, but also about meeting therapeutic needs by taking existing knowledge and applying it in new ways," said James Shannon, MD, Global Head of Development at Novartis Pharma AG. "Exelon Patch addresses an important medical need by delivering a proven drug in an entirely new form that meets the needs of patients and their caregivers."
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive, degenerative disease that alters the brain, causing impaired memory, thinking and behavior. Approximately 18 million people worldwide have Alzheimer's disease. In the US, more than five million people suffer from Alzheimer's disease and almost 10 million people provide care for someone living with dementia, most of which is related to Alzheimer's disease. By 2030, the number of people in the US who are age 65 and over with Alzheimer's disease is estimated to reach 7.7 million, 50% more than current levels.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration also approved the use of Exelon Patch in treating patients with mild to moderate Parkinson's disease dementia. Parkinson's disease is a chronic and progressive neurological condition that affects approximately 1.5 million people in the US. Parkinson's disease dementia is a distinct and common disorder, one characterized by impairments in executive function, memory retrieval, and attention, in patients with an established diagnosis of Parkinson's disease for at least two years. Two out of five people with Parkinson's disease are estimated to have Parkinson's disease dementia.
Important Safety Information
Exelon Patch (rivastigmine transdermal system) is indicated for the treatment of mild to moderate dementia of the Alzheimer's type and mild to moderate dementia associated with Parkinson's disease. Exelon Patch is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to rivastigmine, other carbamate derivatives or other components of the formulation.
At higher than recommended doses, Exelon Patch use is associated with nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia/decreased appetite and weight loss. For this reason, patients administered the Exelon Patch should always be started at a dose of 4.6 mg/24 hours and titrated to the maintenance dose of 9.5 mg/24hours.
In a clinical trial, the most commonly observed adverse events occurring at a frequency of at least 5% and greater than placebo with administration of 9.5 mg/24 hours were nausea, vomiting and diarrhea (7%, 6%, 8% for Exelon Patch 9.5 mg/24 hours versus 5%, 3%, 6% for placebo, respectively). Weight should be monitored during Exelon Patch therapy. In clinical trials for dementia associated with Parkinson's disease, Exelon capsules have been observed to increase the incidence or intensity of tremor.
As with other cholinomimetics, caution is recommended in patients with sick sinus syndrome, conduction defects, gastroduodenal ulcerative conditions (including those predisposed by concomitant medications), asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, urinary obstruction, and seizures.

The roe deer has spread in recent years after almost becoming extinct in Wales, and has been seen as far south west as the Pembrokeshire border with Ceredigion.
There are six types of deer living in the UK - roe, red, sika, fallow, Reeve's muntjac and Chinese water deer - but only the roe and red are native, fallow having been introduced twice and the others escaped or released alien species. There are also reindeer on private estates, mostly in Scotland, and at some zoological theme parks such as Manor Park, near Tenby.
Unlike the red deer, fallow and sika deer, the stags of which breeds have magnificent antlers, the roe deer males have short, straight antlers and are quite small, with a body length of 3.1 to 4.4 feet, a shoulder height of about 2.5 feet and a weight of between 33 and 37-lbs. The hide is golden red in summer darkening to brown or even black in winter, with lighter undersides and a white rump patch. The short tail is barely visible. Some older males develop antlers with two or three and occasionally four points. They feed mainly on grass, leaves and young shoots and prefer their grass to be wet after rain. They do not generally enter a field which has cattle in or they have been using, as they seem to think the cattle make the grass unclean. The lifespan of the roe deer in the wild is about 10 years. When alarmed the deer will utter a sound very much like a dog's bark and flash its white rump patch, while the does make a high pitched 'pheep' noise to attract the males. When chasing the does, the bucks flatten the woodland underbrush in the form of figures of eight which are known as 'roe-rings'. The gestation period is 10 months and the does invariably give birth to twin spotted fawns of opposite sexes. The fawns hide from predators in the long grass for around three months, suckled by their mothers several times a day until they are ready to join the herd. At this time they are very vulnerable and, if their mother smells that another animal or human has been near the hiding place, she will often abandon her young. Roe deer actually became extinct in England and Wales during the 18th century, but survived in remote wooded parts of the central and north west highlands of Scotland. They have been reintroduced in the south of the UK and the estimated population is now around 500,000 in this country.

Manchester United's Federico Macheda open to a return to Lazio
Federico Macheda has admitted he would be prepared to move back to Lazio at some point in the future.
By Simone Bargellini
Last Updated: 08/03/13 8:41pm
Macheda is currently on loan at Stuttgart from Manchester United and played against Lazio in the Europa League on Thursday night.
The 21-year-old was on Lazio's books as a teenager before making the move to Old Trafford in 2007, and he has indicated that he would be open to a return to the Italian club one day.
He is focused at the current time on playing regularly for Stuttgart, though, and is keen to impress until the end of the season.
"I want to grow as a player and play with continuity to prove my worth," Macheda was quoted as saying by lalaziosiamonoi.it after Stuttgart's 2-0 home defeat in the first leg.
"Lazio? I went away very young and I have not kept relations with the current management.
"I would go back, if there was a possibility in the future."

Our Internet Statistics Compendium has seen another bumper update this month, with an impressive swathe of data focusing on the internet landscape in Australia.
The latest report released by the ARC Centre of Excellence for Creative Industries and Innovation (CCi) gives a comprehensive overview into how the internet has become integral to Australians as a social tool, a shopping platform and an entertainment channel since 2007.
Yet, it is the report's insight into audio and video trends which are some of the most interesting, with online perhaps not eating into consumption habits of traditional media as much as we might expect. Be sure to check out the Australia and New Zealand edition of our ISC for more from the region.
Online audio trends
According to the CCi, the number of consumers turning to the internet to either download or listen to music directly is growing steadily. Of the 58% of internet users who do consume music online, 35% do so at least weekly (up from 27% in 2007).
37% of Australian internet users say they access music via paid sites. However, CDs are still the most popular method for people to acquire digital music.
Despite the accessibility of music online, 55% of internet users say it hasn't affected the amount of music they buy. Intriguingly, 21% say they buy more (13%) or much more (8%) music now they have the ability to download, up from 18% in 2007.
24% buy less (10%) or much less (14%) now they have the ability to download, up from 21% in 2007.
How has the ability to download music from the internet influenced your purchases of music?
Online video trends
Similar trends can be seen with online movies. The majority of Australian internet users say their movie consumption (via purchases) has stayed the same since having the ability to download.
In total, 11% say they now consume more movies (up from 7% in 2007). On the flipside, 19% now watch less because of the availability of films online (up from 9% in 2007).
Video hosting sites are enticing customers the most, with 23% of internet users sometimes and 10% often using them.
Where do you get your digital movies?
Effect on the value of music and movie media
The CCi also looked at the value of digital editions of film and music compared to physical ones. Of those that would spend money on a digital editions (when the physical cost was $40 – around £25), the majority (17% of all internet users) said they would spend $11 to $20.
Overall, the value of digital film and music according to internet users has stayed roughly the same since 2007. 55% wouldn't spend any money on a digital format which cost $40 in its physical form, up from 51% in 2007 and down just slightly from 56% in 2009.
23% of Australian internet users admit to using file-sharing services, the same proportion as in 2007.
If a boxed DVD or CD set was on sale for $40, for what price would you consider downloading a digital copy instead?
What it means for film and music producers
Despite the growth in numbers of Australian consumers going online to consume music and films, there are increases in the amount of people paying more for traditional paid-for content as there are those doing the opposite, while the majority still consume in much the same manner.
This is promising news for both media producers working in online and offline – and even better news for those working across both channels.
Australia is showing that monetizing online film and music content is viable, with a good proportion of consumers willing to pay for online editions of physical products.
The relatively big growth (10% since 2007) in movie consumers to online can also be seen as a positive for producers keen to explore the monetization opportunity of video hosting sites, rather than a lost cause with illegal file-sharing.
In addition, producers might be enthused by the data which shows digital to actually have a positive impact on physical consumption, at least among some consumers. However, it is certainly worth exploring ways to entice more shoppers over to the idea that physical is worth the higher cost.
It will be interesting to watch habits change as producers improve their deliverability across online and offline channels – and account for changes, positive and negative, digital media consumption brings.
