A five run rally in the seventh inning, spiced by Johnathan Lucroy's grand slam home run, carried the Milwaukee Brewers past the Arizona Diamondbacks 7-5 on Tuesday night. It was Lucroy's second homer of the night and how the stage was set bordered on the bizzarre. Kyle Lohse started and gave up three runs in the first inning. Aramis Ramirez put Milwaukee on the board with a solo blast in the second. After the Diamondbacks tacked on an unearned run to lead 4-2, the Brewers mounted the comeback putting runners on second and third with one out in the top of the 7th against reliever Evan Marshall. Ryan Braun came to the plate and watched the first pitch sail behind his back. Marshall was given a warning by the homeplate umpire. When the second pitch hit Braun in the back, Marshall was ejected and the bases were full. Brad Ziegler came on and the first pitch he threw to Lucroy was driven over the left center field wall to make it a 7-4 came. Francisco Rodriguez gave up a solo shot to Roger Kieschnick in the 9th but still recorded his 22nd save. Lohse earned his 8th win allowing four runs (three earned) in six innings of work. Milwaukee (43-29) is a season high 14 games over .500 and still hold a three and a half game lead over St. Louis. Matt Garza will face Wade Miley in game three of the four game set Wednesday night. Pre-Game coverage begins at 8:05 PM on WTAQ.
The Brewers sat Carlos Gomez for the second straight game because of a tight hamstring. He could be back in the lineup Wednesday night.
Milwaukee traded minor league pithcer Brad Miller to the Oakland A;s for cash considerations that turned out be exactly one dollar. Because Miller was not on the major league roster as of June 15, the Brewers could opt out of his contract and get the lowest possible waiver price. Miller was 5-2 with a 1.56 ERA at Triple A Nashville, but team officials believe Mike Fiers and Jimmy Nelson, also in Nashville, have brighter futures.

There were new details Wednesday about the connection between the man who was gunned down while dropping his toddler off at a Dunwoody daycare last fall and the man now accused of pulling the trigger.
FOX 5 News confirmed that Rusty Sneiderman's suspected killer, 48-year-old Hemy Zvi Neuman worked at General Electric, the same company as Sneiderman's wife.
Neuman appeared at the DeKalb County Magistrate's Court Wednesday afternoon where he requested a public defender. He was not given bond because a magistrate judge does not have the authority to do so.
Dunwoody police arrested Neuman Tuesday in connection with Sneiderman's shooting death outside the Dunwoody Prep School last November. Sneiderman's young son attended the preschool, and he had just dropped the 2-year-old boy off when the shooting happened.
Dunwoody police say Neuman is a resident of Buckhead. FOX 5 News has learned he was also a former resident of Cobb County. Real estate records indicate he and his former wife owned a home in Marietta near the corner of Roswell Road and Johnson Ferry Road.
Neuman is the father of three children and earned a bachelor's degree in aerospace engineering from Georgia Tech in 1984.
According his Facebook page, Neuman posted a New Year's Day greeting to his friends and wished them a successful 2011.
Neuman faces charges of felony murder and is currently being held without bond in the DeKalb County Jail.

Degraded Authors who Blame Others
Consider terms such as degrading and offensive. We at Finding Fault think these words describe subjective feelings and opinions, and should be acknowledged to do so.
But many authors will not take the responsibility of owning their own opinions. Instead, they want somebody else to take the responsibility. We have seen this problem often, and we will point out one recent instance.
A blogger, purportedly writing about "the genre known as ballroom dance", but really writing about a Broadway show, complains:1
As a result it isn't easy to say, "This degrades women." Yet much of it does.
And again:
It does degrade women.
We at Finding Fault are not in the business of deciding what degrades somebody else. (If we find something that degrades us, we will let you know.) We are, however, in the business of finding fault, so we want to point out here that the Writer in question appears to be a guy, so let's begin by assuming that the show does not degrade him.
Who, then, does it degrade? We would have liked to have seen him mention some interviews with women who felt degraded by that show. Before you claim that something is degrading to somebody, you need to find at least one person who actually feels degraded by it. And by one we do not mean zero. Was he unable to get in touch with any of the performers—who presumably would have been close to the action and subject to its full effect—to ask how degraded they felt? Was he not able to query a few random female attendees to get their opinions?
Could it be that, rather than ask women if they find the show degrading, he is doing their thinking for them and telling them that they ought to find it so?
We also want to know why, if he wanted to see or experience "the genre known as ballroom dance," he went to see a Broadway show in the first place. Ballroom dance is, fundamentally, about leading and following.2 We think stage shows like the one in question are fully choreographed many weeks ahead of time, and not led and followed. We doubt that there is any significant leading and following in the "the acrobatic manhandling" the Writer complains about or in the manoeuvre of the (allegedly degraded) woman "lifted with her legs in a 180-degree sideways split" that makes him so miserable. All this choreographed showmanship cannot possibly represent ballroom dance in any meaningful way to anybody who has the slightest idea of what "ballroom dancing" really means.
No dance studios or ballrooms nearby?

- "There being no set sequence of steps in modern dancing the responsibility of leading from one figure to another rests entirely with the man. The lady's part is to follow, whether the man is dancing a figure correctly or not." (Emphasis in original.) "Ballroom Dancing" p 21; by Alex Moore, 1939, revised 2008.

Parkway-Center City Reviews
I graduated from this school in 1989. I feel very fortunate to have been selected to attend. Parkway Program was not your ordinary high school, we learned independence and a well rounded diverse education that other school can not provide. The school taught me about life experiences and to think outside the box. My most memorable teachers were Jeanette Jimenez who challenged me on so many levels and Don Richmond who never allowed me to give up on things that did not come easy to me. I feel any student could benefit from attending Parkway Program.

Jim Marrant wrote that Barack Obama will never increase oil production in the United States! His opinion is not supported by facts.
The Times recently published a short report that the United States might soon pass Saudia Arabia as the top oil producer in the world. This is the fourth straight year of crude oil increases.
As the article correctly points out, high market prices and new drilling methods have spurred record production.
Marrant fails to recognize that oil is big business and not stupid. We don't produce oil to sell it cheaply here because this is a world market. Oil is at $86 a barrel today and is very profitable. Production would not be going up if oil was $25 a barrel.
As for George W. Bush's benevolence, that is correctly called the great recession that affected gas prices.

Research Themes
The School's research is divided into two themes: Tissue Engineering & Reparative Dentistry, and Applied Clinical Research & Public Health. Each theme consists of several research groups working closely together.
Researchers may participate in more than one group and in some cases, work across themes. The school's policy of linking clinicians and non-clinicians ensures relevance of research questions to dentistry, the translation of research, and the efficient and effective use of clinicians' and non-clinicians time. The research themes are also supported through Interdisciplinary Research.
The Applied Clinical Research & Public Health theme researches factors affecting the dental health of populations.
Tissue Engineering and Reparative Dentistry research requires the study of both hard and soft tissues using basic and applied techniques. It also requires an understanding of how external factors, in particular microbial contaminants, can influence tissue healing.

The University of Iowa president issued a vague statement and the University of Iowa's football coach gave only basic details Tuesday regarding the allegations against former athletic advisor Peter Gray.
Gray resigned last Monday from the University of Iowa. Internal reports obtained by the Iowa City Press-Citizen on Friday show Gray was accused of trading tickets and money for sex and also inappropriately touching students.
When Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz was asked about Gray, he grew frustrated with reporters, according to the Press-Citizen. Ferentz did note that Gray "didn't work with our players. He did in the past, but it's been a while."
University of Iowa President Sally Mason has refused to talk to the press, but her office issued the following statement Tuesday:
"Regarding the recent media reports about Peter Gray, it is a confidential personnel matter and the University of Iowa will not make any additional comment. However, I want to assure you that we are continuing to review all the details regarding this matter and how it was handled. Once all the facts are known, I will take all necessary actions that are warranted. My priority is the safety and well being of our students, faculty, and staff."
Gray was formerly the Associate Director of Athletic Student Services and Director of Academic Advising and Counseling. According to the Press-Citizen, Gray's duties included one-on-one counseling to members of the UI women's basketball, men's golf and men's and women's swimming teams.
Gray worked at the University of Iowa from 1993-1995, then came back to UI in 2002.
According to the internal report, an unnamed UI student told investigators that Gray exchanged money and football tickets in return for sexual favors from another person. In the report, Gray admitted to providing the tickets and money to the person, but denied it was for sexual favors.
The report details allegations ranging from making sexual comments to touching students' genitals and spans the entire time Gray was employed by the university.
On Saturday, a former student athlete who asked not to be identified told KWWL he never felt uncomfortable by Peter Gray's actions nor knew of any teammates that had issue with him.
The former athlete we spoke with said Gray was touchy with the students he worked with, but he took it as a personality quirk rather than anything inappropriate.
The former student athlete said if the allegations are indeed true, then he believes the University acted appropriately.
Athletic Director Gary Barta said he cannot comment on personnel issues.

Inside Wall Street: Gilead for value, growth
One of world's largest and profitable biotechs gains on its HIV and hepatitis drugs.
Gilead Sciences (GILD), one of the few profitable biotech stocks around, is starting to appeal to both growth investors and value believers.
With its powerhouse leadership in HIV/AIDS treatments and its acquisition of a pipeline of drugs for the Hepatitis C virus through its purchase of Pharmasset in January 2012, Gilead has become an inexpensive stock for value investors and an enticing buy for growth adherens because of its strong earnings growth potential.
So don't bet on Gilead yielding its leadership position role in HIV/AIDS and its strong initiatives to gain approval for its next-generation drug, GS-7977, for the Hepatitis C virus.
In brief, Gilead is making sure its dominance in HIV/AIDS stays strong even as the first of its string of patents start expiring in 2018.
"We assume Gilead's HIV franchise continues to build with minimal near-term impacts from competition and that the company's franchise in Hepatitis C will begin in 2014 with the launch in the U.S. of GS-7977 followed by a launch in Europe," says Jason Kolbert, biotech analyst at investment firm Maxim Group.
With a detailed market and product forecasts through 2020, Kolbert says that while the market will continue to weigh the HIV and hepatitis issues, he figures Gilead will generate significant free cash flow through the end of the decade. And combined with his fully diluted 2020 earnings estimate of $8.38 a share and a sum-of-the-parts valuation, he reaches a target price of $70 a share for the stock.
Currently trading at $54 a share, the stock is pretty close to its 52-week high of $55.08 hit on Feb. 7, indicating the stock's continued appeal to institutional investors. And now that Gilead is becoming attractive to both value and growth investors, the stock, which hit a 52-low of $35.34 on Aug. 10, is likely to continue to fly higher.
"Gilead's strong current fundamentals led to a high quality beat-and-raise" situation when the company reported second-quarter earnings in late July, says Thomas J. Russo, analyst at investment firm Robert W. Baird. The big news, he adds, is confirming the path to market its Hepatitis C drug. Specifically, Gilead acknowledged it had reached agreement with U.S. and European regulators to expedite approval of the GS-7977 Hepatitis C drug.
As a result, Gilead now appeals to both growth and value investors, notes Russo. Gilead's low multiples may continue to appeal to value-oriented investors, but the acquisition of the Hepatitis pipeline made the stock a growth story. That's because "the GS-7977 drug is the most compelling asset in the Hepatitis-C space, a strategic fit for Gilead," which is expected to "contribute multiple billion dollars per year starting in 2014," says Russo.
A secular earnings growth at a healthy double-digit pace with potential to accelerate in 2014, coupled with the still attractive valuation multiples "keep this stock interesting as a value story too," argues the analyst. So a positive investor sentiment is building up for Gilead in the space.
At the same time, the fundamentals are still sound for Gilead's dominant, market-leading HIV franchise. With new patient share count already at 85% in the U.S. and 75% in Europe, market growth is the "most important current driver for Gilead," says Russo.
"We are encouraged by prospects for new combination drugs to extend Gilead's market-leading franchise," says Steven Silver of S&P Capital IQ, who rates the stock a buy as a core biotech holding. Its three HIV drugs are Truvada, a once-a-day combination tablet formulated with previous-generation drugs Viread and Entriva. In May 2012, the Antiviral Drugs Advisory Committee of the FDA voted to approve Gilead's Quad QD regimen for HIV consisting of four new drugs. The FDA has set a target "action date" of Aug. 27, 2012. Analysts expect Gilead to launch the new Quad regimen immediately after its formal FDA approval.
Betting on biotech stocks is laden with risks, usually best left to investment professionals who either thrive or perish in trying to divine their individual values. But some turn out to be long-term winners, such as Amgen (AMGN), one of the world's largest biotechs and Medivation (MDVN), which develops novel small-molecule drugs for serious diseases, including prostate cancer.
Gilead is definitely up there in the roster of leading biotech companies.

Hokies upend Southern California's Reggie Bush in 2004 opener. (August 28, 2013)
The Hurricanes defeated five top-25 teams, including Syracuse 59-0 and Washington 65-7 in consecutive outings. Their defense allowed only 13 touchdowns and scored eight. The average margin of victory was 32.9 points, and Nebraska was no match in the BCS title game, falling 37-14.
How Hokies fared: With a 20-3 halftime lead, top-ranked Miami appeared headed for another rout at No. 14 Virginia Tech in December. But two short Jarrett Ferguson touchdown runs and a special teams score — Eric Green blocked a punt, which Brandon Manning returned for a TD — drew the Hokies within 26-24 midway through the fourth quarter.
Beamer elected to go for two, but sophomore Ernest Wilford, who left Tech as the school's career receptions leader, dropped Grant Noel's pass.
After a Miami three-and-out, Tech took over at the Hurricanes' 49 with 5:05 remaining. But Reed's second interception of the game, the fourth thrown by Noel in only 16 attempts, ended the threat.
* 2004 Southern California (13-0): The Trojans' national title was vacated because of Reggie Bush's NCAA issues, but there's no erasing their excellence. The wire-to-wire No. 1s had an embarrassment of riches at the skill positions with Heisman quarterback Matt Leinart, running backs Bush and LenDale White, and receivers Dwayne Jarrett and Steve Smith.
Meanwhile, the defense boasted four first-team All-Americans in end Shaun Cody, linebackers Matt Grootegoed and Lofa Tatupu, and tackle Mike Patterson.
USC's regular-season schedule was comparably tame — California and Arizona State, both at home, were the only top-25 opponents — but in the national title game the Trojans embarrassed Oklahoma 55-19.
How the Hokies fared: Leading 10-7 midway through the third quarter at FedEx Field, unranked Tech drove to a first down at USC's 44. Bryan Randall then connected with Josh Hyman for 32 yards along the Hokies' sideline, only to have the completion overturned by an offensive interference flag on Hyman.
Beamer went nuts and writes in his soon-to-be-released autobiography that it's among the worst calls he's ever seen.
Tech was forced to punt, and two plays later Leinart hit Bush for a 53-yard touchdown to give the Trojans a 14-10 lead. USC won, 24-13.
I saw all four of these teams in person and would rank Miami 2001 the best, followed by USC '04, FSU '99 and Miami '87.
If Alabama '13 can crack that group, wow.

Chapter 20 - Measuring the Current Performance of Mobile Devices
Stijn asks how are we measuring performance right now in mobile? Because it's not clear right now. Which makes it hard to predict the basis of competition for the next disruption. Horace agrees and says it takes time to identify patterns, while Katherine adds on how it can be very paradoxical.

Ben talks how even though the iPhone is a high-end device, when you look at the jobs that it does it's absolutely low-end. He uses the example of original iPhone games, that were very low quality, but this did not stop them from competing with high-end console games.
Chapter 24 - Apple Selling Devices to the Customer Instead of Carriers
Wil and Horace look back at how Apple changed the way manufacturers interact and sell products to carriers. Before the iPhone, all the carriers were very deep into their own Service Development Platforms and having the control of the devices they sell.

Chapter 25 - Facebook's Strengths

Chapter 29 - Samsung's Ability to Innovate?
Horace asks if Samsung has the ability to evolve to be able to innovate rather than copy? Even-though they did ride the Android wave, they are not setup like maybe people like Baidu, Amazon, Facebook or maybe even Twitter to be a disruptor.

Carry a story on your arm, reads the tagline above pictures of handbags made with bold black-and-white Guatemalan textiles that are offered for sale on Mercado Globals website.
Indeed, there are many stories associated with the bags and jewelry that Brooklyn-based Mercado Global sells. They range from the tales of indigenous women, using centuries-old weaving techniques, who have connected with the global marketplace to the stories of a unique poverty-fighting approach and a venture launched in a Yale dorm room.
Now some 300 women organized in cooperatives produce for Mercado Global. Their products have been sold in Bloomingdales, Anthropologie and Nordstrom as well as by Levi Strauss & Co., Red Envelope and other major retailers.
It all begins with Ruth DeGolia, executive director and co-founder of Mercado Global. Shes in South Florida to speak Friday on a panel at the Festival of Media Latam, an annual gathering that showcases whats cutting-edge and creative in the Latin American media, marketing and advertising industries. Its being held at the Fontainebleau Miami Beach.
As a college student, DeGolia, 31, went to Guatemala to do research. In the course of this work I met these tremendous women in the highlands, she said.
She was impressed with the beautiful textiles they wove in traditional Mayan designs, their industriousness, their strength and how they were trying to sustain their families with so little. They also were survivors of the Guatemalan civil war a bloody conflict from 1960 to 1996 when human rights abuses were rampant and the government was accused of genocide against the Mayan population.
These women were my heroes. They had been through so much, said DeGolia.
After her first summer in Guatemala, she filled her suitcases with scarves and jewelry the women had created.
The first day back at school I sold $5,000 worth, she said. Then the women started sending me stuff to sell. At the time I regarded it as a personal favor.
She realized there was an appetite for the womens work. But with only a limited number of tourists visiting Guatemala, there was also a limited market. What was missing was the market connection, DeGolia said.
During her senior year at Yale in 2004, DeGolia and classmate Benita Singh made a pact they would try to help the women in Guatemala earn fair wages and, in turn, create jobs for themselves. They decided not to look for jobs but focus on looking for start-up money.
It was a bit like jumping off a cliff into the clouds, said DeGolia. As part of their money-raising strategy, the pair drew up a business plan and began entering business plan competitions.
They ended up winning the Yale Entrepreneurial Societys Y50K competition and the Social Enterprise Innovation Award. A big break came when the pair became prestigious Echoing Green fellows and were awarded $100,000 in seed capital.
By August 2005, they were on their way with the launch of a ceramic dinnerware collection for ABC Carpet and Home.
Even though Singh left the social enterprise two years after its founding, DeGolia pushed on.
By 2006, the project was attracting media attention and that, in turn, began attracting Silicon Valley venture capitalists. A big break came in May 2007 when Mercado Global launched its first collection with Levi Strauss & Co.
Sales increased by 160 percent in 2008. Then the recession set in and DeGolia realized Mercado Global needed to adapt. She overhauled the business model and introduced a socially conscious consumption component.
During the recession we found that women wanted to help even more. They didnt want to buy a cheap piece of crap from China. If they were going to make a purchase, they wanted it to be good, and they wanted it to count, said DeGolia.
Part of the strategy was to hire U.S. designers to put a more fashion-forward twist on the products. In the early years, Mercado Global sold scarves, simple bags and pillows that werent market-ready for the U.S., said DeGolia.
Mercado Global also began building systems into its production. The women, who generally work at home, were given pictures of finished products and designs to help ensure quality control and were enrolled in community-based education programs.
For each $1 worth of merchandise sold, 50 cents goes back to the women. Donors also have helped the non-profit Mercado Global, and their contributions support the education programs. In the fiscal year that ended in June, Mercado Globals sales totaled $400,000. For fiscal 2013, sales of $650,000 are projected, said DeGolia.
Now the beautiful weavings of Guatemala are having an impact not only on their creators but also on the lives of their children. Theyre enrolling more kids in school, said DeGolia. And the diets of children in the departments of Solola, Chilmaltenango, Totonicapan and Quetzaltenango where the Mercado Global cooperatives are located have improved, she said.

Retro Lighting Hardware & Switchplates by Fontini
Spanish lighting hardware company Fontini is celebrating their 60th Anniversary with a collection of rocking and rotary lightswitches. The 1950 Collection is a line of modern decorative hardware that celebrates the history of electrical hardware at a time when "industrial chic" is all the rage.
The 1950 collection is made of brass and porcelain, and come in nickel-plated, antique bronze, golden and porcelain finishes. The porcelain designs are our personal favorite — it is unfortunate that electrical lighting hardware is so difficult to import from Europe!

#4 is gorgeous.
I need more of number 4- all the original rooms in our house have these fixtures- now have to change the modern ones in the extension to match.
I used to have a #4 in my last apartment. It made the most satisfying "click" sound.
My grandma has these awesome old light switches that are two round buttons ...when you press the top one to turn the light on, the bottom one pops out. You then press the bottom one (popping out the top one) to turn the light off. Her whole house has them and I've always loved them.
Oh man! I ADORE these!
Makes me want to rewire the whole place... but I rent. And don't know how.
Sigh. The electrical wiring in this place is from the dark ages – why couldn't they keep the switches too...
I really wish the rocking and rotary styles worked in the US. I spent most of last night trying to find a similar style from an American supplier and only found modern looking styles from Forbes and Lomax....
Rejuvenation buys its push button switches from Classic Accents, then turns around and sells them at a higher price. The buttons even have CA on them, for Classic Accents! Save yourself about 5-7 bucks apiece and buy them from Classic Accents yourself.

The Photography Duo Celebrates 100 Years of Minimalist Design from Pastoe
Photographer Maurice Scheltens and his artist partner Liesbeth Abbenes harness their signature style to fashion graphic compositions that transform their subject matter in their latest series, Pass Through. Having previously turned their gift for abstraction towards everything from soaps to shirts and coat hangers, here they pay colorful homage to Dutch furniture manufacturer Pastoe on its 100th birthday. To create the images, Scheltens & Abbenes took to the factory floor, where semi-constructed parts on the production line inspired the subversive geometric forms they conceived. "The functional black-and-white documentary photography from the 50s and 60s triggered the abstract, rhythmic installations we made," explains the duo. "Our thought was to show the 'half product' as a whole, displaying the inside instead of the outside." Pastoe has a long history of collaborating with Dutch creatives to interpret their celebrated pieces, and Scheltens & Abbenes join a new stable—including the likes of graphic design Studio Laucke Siebein, artist Krijn de Koning and architect Anne Holtrop—to celebrate the centenary in advance of next month's Object Rotterdam contemporary design fair.
What is the process behind your meticulous photographic compositions? Are you very patient by nature?
Scheltens & Abbenes: We shape the full idea for the picture on set. During the making of the images, we are constantly testing things, to see if they are visually true. This slowness is important, and working in this way has made us more patient—but we're also eager, restless and impatient to find out the result.
Is any kind of object a viable photographic subject for you?
S&A: Objects that are timeless are maybe more desirable to us. But in the end everything could work, as long as we can see the objects as building blocks in the composition.
Do you see your work as part of a long history of Dutch still life?
S&A: This is the world we know. Our nationality is not something that we deliberately cultivate in our work, but it becomes clear time and again to us during our travels. It's not only the aesthetics of the Dutch still life, but also a way of approaching and solving a creative "problem."
Pass Through will be previewed during the Object Rotterdam fair from February 7-10. The full series will be shown from February 23 until June 2, 2013 at the Kunsthal Rotterdam as part of Like Pastoe, 100 years of Design Innovation.
Liz Goldwyn Directs the Award-Winning Actor in a Dark Burlesque Portrait
Perched in a dreamy rose garden, a seductive and melancholic Jena Malone narrates this poetic 19th-century-inspired short by filmmaker and author Liz Goldwyn. Part of a series of works devoted to demystifying the sex industry, The Painted Lady casts the future Hunger Games: Catching Fire star—who made her name in Donnie Darko and Saved!—as a young woman who recalls an encounter with a lushly powdered call girl. As Malone's distinctive voice glides over the hazy footage, intercut shots transform her baby-faced ingénue into a defiant, colorfully made-up femme fatale against a floral backdrop. Only 21 when the vignette was filmed six years ago, the actor's performance was informed by her own personal transformation at the time. "I was definitely a girl on the verge," explains Malone. "Liz had the sense to see the woman that was crystallizing inside of me. It felt comfortable and somewhat voyeuristic—like the woman I was to become was having a muse's sitting with my younger self, asking her to remember things." Much like Goldwyn's acclaimed HBO documentary Pretty Things, an exploration of American Burlesque culture, The Painted Lady and its sister project, Sporting Guide, spark discussion of broad social issues, such how our view of the body impacts feminine identity. "In all the work that I do I'm promoting an intelligent conversation about sex," the director explains. "Jena might look glamorous, but there's a lot of darkness in these stories."
The London-based Collective Teams Up with VANDEYK for this Hypnotic Short
A bicycle wheel is transformed into an homage to early op art in this mesmerizing collaboration between United Visual Artists and Stuttgart-based VANDEYK Contemporary Cycles. Inspired by the likes of Bridget Riley, the London-based collective UVA used LED strips and motion control systems to create a hypnotic vortex that momentarily threatens to suck the viewer in. Known for sitting at the intersection of sculpture, architecture, live performance, moving image and digital installation, UVA devised the film's surging soundtrack using audio effects of the bike company's latest limited-collection release, Purple Blast (a nod to the color of solar flares). The result is a crafty reference to Marcel Duchamp's early 20th-century notion of the readymade.

Hours on set
Victor Vasarely and Bridget Riley were obvious influences, but also the phase experiments by Steve Reich and John Cage, linking visual feedback and movement with sound.

Happy accidents
During testing the LED strip was installed on one of the director's bikes. They forgot to take it off and were soon riding around the city looking very bling indeed.

Reason to be involved at Luther… LOTS OF THEM!
Being involved in college is pretty important. And by involved I don't necessarily mean a sport, although that is what I am involved in, there are many other opportunities. There are copious amounts of musical groups, in and out of class. There are quite a few a cappella groups and other groups that make sweet music, not to mention all of the ensembles that are offered through the school. There are also many academic clubs, science clubs, foreign language clubs, and service clubs. By being in these groups you get to meet a bunch of strangers, which is a great way to make friends, especially because the people in the clubs have similar interests as you. Groups are also a great outlet for relieving stress and getting your mind off of school work for a little while. They help to create a more balanced college life, which makes for a more joyous experience.
