Nike Air Foamposite One – Dark Neon Royal | Available Early on eBay
February 1st, 2011 by John Kim | 18 comments
If you're a lover of the Foamposite, 2010 and 2011 was and will be an absolute dream. Eggplants, Coppers, Pearls, Cough Drops, and now the Pewters, Electric Green, and Dark Pine will have released in less than a two-year span. However, there are those who have had their eyes set on one release – the original Royal Blue colorway that Penny Hardaway wore when these first released. It was the perfect mesh of royal blue taking over the liquid-like Foamposite upper, matched with a translucent outsole and a black carbon-fiber plate at the midfoot and upper lace placket. If only Nike plans to release the Pearl Foamposite One PE that Penny wore back in the day (but that's a wish for another day). These are set for a release on February 12th, but you can grab a pair early right now from JBseller on eBay.

Robin Givhan of The Daily Beast sounded a tart review of Dw, Kanye West's ambitious prêt-à-porter womenswear effort. A tyro pupil de mode, West meetly debuted Dw at Parisian primary school Lycée Henri IV during Paris Fashion Week's Spring/Summer 2012 showings.
My friend fleshed an informed opinion apposite with West's artistic perspective and influences.
What don't people get? It's Ye.
I think it is a good effort and definitely looks more legit than any other celeb line except The Row/Elizabeth and James - though I'm not sure any celeb designer can top what MK and Ashley have been able to do. The Balmain and Givenchy influences were definitely noticeable and the line seemed, to me, just a well mixed version of both. I look forward to what we might see in the future from this line, but I am wondering if it will be commercially viable or just end up being a cool project that Kanye did one year.
Mr. West may just have the goods to etch Dw a formidable presence in haute couture.

The failure of the Old Rochester Regional School Committee to inform tri-town area officials of a $600,000 data breach borders on dereliction of fiduciary duty. The financial and executive officials of Marion, Mattapoisett and Rochester should be satisfied that policies, checks and balances exist to prevent this lack of communication from ever happening again.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation apparently recovered almost 95 percent of the $600,000 reportedly stolen in a hacking incident sometime in 2011. We say "apparently," because there still remains plenty of mystery around this significant loss.
For example:
A great disservice was done to the district's taxpayers, not simply because they were kept in the dark along with tri-town area officials, but because other municipal departments could have been as vulnerable as the schools, and victimized before knowing a threat existed.
In the city of New Bedford last year, a multi-million-dollar budget shortfall that was blamed on a number of systemic problems brought a joint committee of the School Committee and City Council into existence. The School Committee remains in control of the school budget's line items, but a new, and by all accounts productive relationship contributes to a more transparent process.
A working relationship is needed between the ORR School Committee and the three Boards of Selectmen, because there has been no transparency in this incident.
Not only that, but a full forensic audit seems to be in order because so many questions exist.
Even if an audit were to show that nothing could have been done to prevent the original breach, and that nothing untoward happened in the accounting practices, the failure of leadership to keep the towns and the public informed demands strict oversight, such as through a committee made up of representatives of the financial and executive boards in all three towns.
The school's liability insurance did not cover the $34,000 the FBI couldn't get back. This leaves the district and — taxpayers — on the hook, as noted with justifiable disappointment by Mattapoisett Selectman Alan Silva.
The perfect defense against cyber attacks doesn't exist, but the ORR district's response could have and should have been different.

[video] Quick Take: Skullcandy CEO Looking Long Term
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- After his company had a troublesome 2013, Hoby Darling, CEO of headphone maker Skullcandy (SKUL), met with TheStreet's Laurie Kulikowski to discuss how 2014 could be much different.
Skullcandy recently announced a licensing agreement with Toshiba (TOSBF) to help Toshiba market its consumer laptops to younger consumers. Darling said that young people are buying laptops today for movies and games, not for Powerpoint and other mundane office uses.
Darling also said Skullcandy's products were in too many stores, noting that many retailers failed to tell the right story when it came to the products, which diminished Skullcandy's brand.
The CEO pulled in the reins on where its products would be sold, which hurt revenue last year. He said that the company has to absorb some short-term blows to meet its long-term goals
The strategy appears to be working as shares of Skullcandy are up 30% in the past 30 days.-- Written by Bret Kenwell in Petoskey, Mich. Follow @BretKenwell

ProSeries 650W PSU
One Rail, One Setup
Unique, continuous EasyRail™ technology enables you to maximize available power and make set-up easy. Stack numerous power-hungry components without fear of crashing. It's also a perfect solution for hardcore gamers.
Key Features:
The XFX ProSeries PSU with EasyRail™ Technology
Enables you to maximize available power and make set-up easy. Stack numerous power-hungry components, such as your GPU, CPU and other components, without fear of crashing. In addition this PSU has also been award the 80Plus Bronze certification for its high power efficiency and is also designed for NVIDIA SLI and AMD Crossfire multi-GPU systems making it a perfect solution for hardcore gamers. One Rail, One Setup.
Other Power Supply Units
Conventional PSUs use multi-rail technology which basically combines cheaper and lower wattage PSUs into one single PSU to generate a higher total wattage. However, smaller rails have lower maximum wattages so left over wattage on individual rails become too small to handle major components and gets wasted.
Not enough actual wattage - Even though there is technically 50 Watts of power remaining, none of the rails have more than 25W to handle adding a 50W component.
Easyrail™ Power Supply Units
PSUs with EasyRail™ Technology give you one continuous rail of power covering the total maximum wattage. What this means is that no matter how many devices you have, high or low power, they can easily stack until it reaches the full maximum wattage. With EasyRail™ technology you can maximize the potential of your PSU with ease.
Exactly enough actual wattage - Of the 50 Watts of power that you expect to be remaining, all 50W is actually available to easily handle adding a 50W component.
True Wattage Guarantee
The wattage you see isn't always the wattage you get. Some brands tweak tests to achieve great wattage ratings, but in reality, they deliver much lower maximum wattages. Don't be fooled by wattage tricks.

Tech Too Cool: JottI just discovered this free beta service a few days ago and still can't believe how well it works! Jott is a free beta service that enables text transcription of phone messages. Sounds simple - and it's precisely the simplicity that makes this service open up so many powerful possibilities. Transcription is completely automated, and surprisingly accurate - you call a toll-free number from a registered cell phone, and within minutes your message will be transcribed and sent to your email address, or forwarded to a pre-determined group of people, making for a serious time-saving alternative to calling each person one at a time.
I've developed a real aversion to paper lately, especially given the rise of technologies like Gmail and Web 2.0 applications that free your information from physical boundaries by its accessibility from virtually any computer anywhere. Jott seems to be another great tool for capturing thoughts and ideas on the fly, combining the power of Web 2.0 with the convenience of the cell phone. For example, i frequently pass students at school who are asking me to remember performance/accompaniment requests or other sundry administrative details. My typical response has been for them to email me lest i forget, but now with Jott i can accommodate those requests right on the spot - particularly from folks who don't have access to email (or who tend to forget to remind me! LOL)

Six Coaching Questions
There are several ways to coach. But here is the format I use to coach my leaders in our student ministry.
1) How are you?
2) What are you celebrating, where are you winning, and what are you most excited about?
3) What challenges are you facing?
4) How will you tackle those issues?
5) How can I help you, what can I do to help?
6) How can I pray for you?
One of the lessons that God has been teaching me is about timing and preparation. I feel like I am a strategic guy, but sometimes I feel like I move to fast. Which, I don't think is essentially wrong, but there needs to be a balance.
I am a fast acting guy. I feel strongly about my ideas and can see the vision before me with clarity. But how do I execute that vision and those ideas into a successful life and ministry? Too often, I can easily walk over people with the zeal of my ideas. But as of late, God has been using the words Timing and Preparation.
"By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house." Hebrews 11:7
Champions never hurry.
The quality of preparation determines the quality of performance. Great concert pianists invests hundreds of hours of practice before a concert. They know that the quality of those many grueling hours of practice will prepare them for their greatest performance. The world champion heavyweight boxer knows he cannot get into the ring with his opponent without preparing first. It would be too late, not to mention no fun to watch. For many weeks before the great fight, he toils in his morning workout, running, and exercise program.
Champions do not become champions in the ring. They are merely recognized in the ring. Their becoming happens in their daily routine.
Jesus never hurried.
Jesus did not begin his earthly ministry until He was thirty years old. His ministry was a short 3 1/2 years.
His preparation time was thirty years.
Jesus was very sensitive about timing. When His mother told him that the people had run out of wine at the marriage of Cana, He replied, "Woman, what have I to do with that? My hour has not yet come." (John 2:4) By the way, I don't recommend calling your mother woman. But it does show you his confidence.
Obviously, God was planning a public introduction of Jesus' ministry, but Jesus saw a need and responded to the faith Mary expressed when she said, "Whatsoever He says unto you, do it" (John 2:5).
Something good is happening every moment of our life. It may be the seed of patience or a new friendship just birthed. It may also be that the weaknesses of your plans are being revealed. Whatever it is, each season is producing some specific result from your efforts.
Look for the reward of the present season (reward = success points), regardless of whether it appears to be success or failure. Preparation chapters in your life are not delays in your future success. Each chapter and season has a benefit and a product, if you will take the time to look for them.
One of the things I've learned about attending new churches and/or ministries as staff is the vitality of taking the time to learn the details. I often, speak of an idea or vision before giving a lot of time to learn the details of the idea or vision. I don't apologize for my passion, but I do apologize for my learning to be slow to speak. If you will take the time to prepare, your presentation of your ideas and visions will have believability. The people will will have confidence in becoming a part of the plan. You may not learn all the details the first night you hear them, but don't worry; set aside a few hours each week to begin to prepare your presentation."
Preparation time is never wasted.
Think about the life of Jesus. He saw hundred around Him because of the sickness and disease, but His time had not come. He saw thousands warped with the traditions and legalism of religious systems, but He knew His Father was growing Him up. "And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and man" (Luke 2:52). Jesus was willing to wait.
He prepared Himself.
In what ways can you prepare yourself to be more effective in your ministry and/or work during the next 30, 60, or 90 days?
Those who know me have a slight understanding of my thought process. I love to think outside the box. I am an idea guy, and I only like tradition if it brings life. I don't like tradition just for the sake of "something we've always done.". As a ministry, it is critical to always evaluate what you are doing, how you are doing it, and why you are doing it.
I'm not a big fan of the traditional side of church. Traditional church reminds me of something my parents went to and the church I grew up in. But the older I get and the longer I'm in ministry, the more I realize that some tradition is healthy. As a matter of fact, there are some traditions I think should come back!
What are your traditions you think the Church should bring back?
I am doing an 8 part blog regarding the reasons we possibly have faithful people, but not fruitful. If you missed part 1, you can read it here.
The second reason people are unfruitful is because they are controlled by the desires of the flesh. It might be the inability to control sexual lusts, compulsive behavior, laziness, etc. (Romans 8:5, Psalms 63:1-3, 1 Cor 10:11)
If we chose to live by the sinful desires, than we have literally set ourselves up for failure. If we want to give ourselves to such desires, we have no life to give to people. If you are serving in ministry, be aware that a compromised leader creates a compromised church. A compromised church leads to a compromised result.
Have you sat down recently and examined the fruit of your life?
faithful vs fruitful part 1
There are so many people that are faithful but unfruitful when it comes to ministry/leadership. Showing up is great! Being there when you have that commitment is awesome! But I think we have lumped being faithful with being fruitful.
When I was growing up we had a grapevine in our backyard. It provided shade, it was an awesome plant. But year after year we never had grapes. The plant wasn't dead, as a matter of fact you would think it was thriving. But a thriving plant doesn't mean it's a producing plant. I later found out that it's because you have to trim and prune the plant in order for it to produce fruit, thus being unfruitful. Producing fruit takes work.
So why are there people that are faithful, but unfruitful? I believe there are 8 characteristics of an unfruitful soul.
1) Having a lack of knowledge of the Bible (Hose 4:6)
When we have a lack of knowledge of the Bible, we have a lack of knowledge of who God is. The Word is one of the many ways that the Lord will speak to us, and if we ignore that, we're ignoring the very person that will help us grown in our faith. It's a compromise. In vs 7, The Priest exchanged God's Glory for something disgraceful.
It becomes dangerous when we start trading what God wants for our lives with other things. We get comfortable with putting something else in front of Him. And the end result is we're thriving in action, but unfruitful in growing and producing. Jesus wants to be what we want, and He does not want to be our #2.
What are your thoughts?
For the last several weeks our student ministry (Ignite), have been talking about people who have interacted with Christ and how their lives were flipped because of it. I felt it was a solid series but the last part has stuck with me. Jesus wants to be what you want.
Are you like me in that you want to find something that makes a difference. That contributes. That allows you to put some kind of mark on this world. Because isn't it true, most of the time we feel like what we're doing doesn't matter? And where we live doesn't matter? And what we say and think doesn't matter?
In fact, I want you to ask yourself this question: what matters most? And then I want you to ask yourself Why? How did you come up with that answer?
I love the story of the rich man mentioned in the book of Mark (chapter 10:17-22). Here is a guy that has everything, everything anyone could ever want, and above all else the guy was super rich. But he felt the need to go up to Jesus and fall on his knees to Jesus because he wanted to make sure that He and Jesus was all good. And Jesus' response to him was that he lacked one thing. How can a rich man that has everything lack something?
Mark tells us the man left sad. Which makes sense. He had lived his whole life believing if he followed the rules and chased money, his life would count for something—that he would matter. Jesus wasn't saying that following rules and making money is bad. But above all of that, Jesus wants to be what we want. He wants to be the thing that fills that greater, deeper need in all of us. And that was a change that the rich young ruler could never make.
In student ministry, I see time and time that the family unit is breaking down. Why? We blame our schools that there is too much homework, we want to blame everything but we won't stop and evaluate what we are involved in. We place more value on sports and other extra circular activities that we start to lump church events (including sunday and youth nights) as "extra".
God wants our #1. He wants what to be what you want. The danger of students walking away from church is really not the churches fault, we're creating opportunities for Him to be #1.
Is your #1 ahead of Christ?
I don't like the word tradition. I'll admit I have traditions, but when it comes to church stuff I can't stand the word. Throughout my ministry life I've met too many people who love their traditions no matter the cost. Tradition is comfortable. Tradition is safe.
I believe that churches that are not married to traditions of yesterday are paving the road for success tomorrow. And before you get angry let me say I actually have a few church traditions that I love that I grew up with. But I'm not sure they relate to the generation of today. For example:
- I grew up with a Sunday Night service. It was a smaller service ("Venue" is what it's called in post modern churchology)
- Wednesday night family night. I loved have youth as a teen and the memories of my parents talking to people after church (especially in the summer) brings back happy thoughts.
- Potlucks: Who doesn't love to eat?
But the danger in our churches becomes when we make our childhood traditions the norm for the next generation. What worked back then, may or may not, work now. I understand there are some churches that still have family nights once a week, still have potlucks, still have sunday night services, but they're all typically smaller congregations.
So then, do you believe traditions of old has their place in the church today? Why or why not.
There is a common myth in the church community that those of us that are involved in student ministry, whether it be a pastor or volunteer, are in it because we love EVERYTHING about it.
Let me be perfectly honest with you, I don't love everything. I am not a fan of super loud music (but I love feeling the base at concerts), I am not a fan of Pokeman, not a huge fan of staying up all night, not a fan of………
After several years in the ministry there is one thing that proves true again and again. I love young people. I love hanging out with them. I love pointing our conversations towards Christ. I love seeing them grow (both in stature and in Christ). I love their ideas. I love their creativity. I love seeing them serve. And I love them shocking the older adults, proving hat everything and anything is possible for those who love Christ)
Yes, I am slowing down a bit and now they're starting to be able to catch me on the field whenever we play soccer or tag. And no, I can't keep up playing Halo with them or any video game for that matter.
Last night, I went to a concert featuring several bands. (Jamie Grace, Vertical Church Band, The Neverclaim, Soulfire Revolution, Royal Taylor, We has human, Andy Mineo, Third Day, and Skillet) I only knew about 2 of this bands and I study youth culture! I even had to explain who Third Day was to some of the teens. As a matter of fact, when Third Day took the stage it seemed everyone 32 and up stood up cheering. Skillet closed it out.
Skillet (love their heart more than the music), played and loved seeing the students respond, I think most of my students are rockers.
I don't love everything. But I love the student. And because I love the student, I love everything. In other words, I am not a fan of Halo, but I will play it and do my best and try to win. I don't like Skillet (screaming metal), but because I love the student, I am standing, raising a hand like a 6th grade rock star. I don't love staying up all night, but I will because I love the student.
We don't have to love everything. And let's be honest, a person in their mid 30′s (ok, late 30′s) won't love everything that a 7th grader will love. However, it's not about what we love, it's about what they love. It continues to amaze me that I often find myself having fun with something I don't' love because it's not the activity, it's the person.
The priority is not the activity, it's the person. And when you feel called to student ministry you need to lay down you selfishness and begin to love what they love. Not because you love what they love, but because you love them. This is the first and foremost priority in discipleship.
In what other ways can you love a student with the the things you don't love to do?
I often wonder if Jesus is happy at the way church culture has progressed from the beginning. We have set up independent institutions (organizations) that would fit our culture. But I wonder if the term "fitting in our culture" is a cliche we use or is it purely a justification to do church the "way" we want. I don't know if the church itself is to blame. After all, each one of us who believe in Christ make up the Church.
So this appears to be the Church:
- When someone attends a church but they don't like the worship, they leave to find a church that has a "better" worship. (Keep in mind that worship is of the heart and not nearly what you hear on a weekend, but that's a different topic and I'm not saying we don't have to be excellent in all that we do)
- When someone doesn't like the message that is being taught whether they are too convicting or not convicting enough, they leave to where there is a "better" communicator.
- When the church down the street has a great coffee shop like atmosphere that is more comfortable, they wonder if they should check it out.
- When someone thinks that the other churches children's ministry or the youth ministry is deeper, louder, bigger, smaller, more relative, they leave for the "good" of their family.
- When someone thinks they are not getting anything out of the current church even though they don't attend a small group, bible study, or serve they begin looking to somewhere else where they could find fulfillment.
If you want a true account of our church culture, it doesn't sound pretty. We have become a selfish group wanting what's best for us. Is that wrong? What is your motive of attending church?
As believers, we have lost a sense of community. We have lost our sense of community because a real community sticks together and fights together to make the community a better place.
What are your thoughts and feedback?
Student and children's ministry can be rewarding, exhausting, exciting, and more. Feel free to in your own adjective. And if you like me, you want to have a great ministry that is organized, relatable, life-changing, eventful, and relational to both students AND parents.
We love to find the newest and greatest materials that will help with our vision for our ministry. My e-mail is full of ads from para church organizations wanting me to purchase the latest sermon series, newsletters, skits, leadership training material, camps, conferences, and subscription opportunities. And yes, it actually bothers me that they try so hard to get the sale. I wonder if that alone compromises the mission, but that's another post. There is nothing wrong with partnering with an organization/ministry to help you accomplish your vision.
But before you get hung up on all that's out there, a few questions must be asked;
1) What is my vision for my ministry?
You can't rely on someone else to provide you with that vision. The vision has to be for what you see in your ministry in your city. So how do you determine your vision? Some may argue that a vision is for 5 or 10 years of ministry. I would caution you not be be "locked in". Check your vision every 2 years and make sure your demographic hasn't changed.
2) What are my expectations?
What do you want to accomplish using the curriculum? Does it help you with your point of ministry or are yo sold because of the graphics. One thing I've learned is just because they can sell you with one great video or sermon, doesn't mean it's the best fit for the long haul.
3) Will this work for the long haul or is it a short fix?
Sometimes we can get in a stale spot and we search for something that will fire us and the ministry up. I don't see anything wrong with something that will help you set the fire again. However, find something that will be able to partner with you for the long haul.
After being in the ministry for a long time I am dialed into a specific curriculum that I love.
For our Wednesday night ministry we use XP3 Orange. I love Orange because it's not just a curriculum, it's a strategy. Our vision for Ignite is to fuel passion among teens. We do this with partnering with parents AND through our small group discussions. Orange helps equip me so I can equip my leaders.
Our Sunday morning Middle School ministry using Simply Youth Ministry's Live. It's really a small group oriented material that we customize for a big group study AND small group time.
So, I use the following to help us in our ministry:
Orange (xp3 students)
SYM Live (Sunday morning)
SYM Tools (for event registering and youth check in)
Mail Chimp (for our e-news to our parents)

WEDNESDAY, Sept. 25 (HealthDay News) -- Among other traits, psychopaths feel a lack of empathy when other people are in pain, and brain scans now reveal why that is.
Psychopathy is a personality disorder marked by callousness, manipulation, sensation seeking and antisocial behaviors. About 23 percent of people in prison are psychopaths, compared with about 1 percent of people in the general population.
In this study, researchers used functional MRI to observe brain activity in 121 inmates at a medium-security prison in the United States who were divided into three groups based on the levels of their psychopathy: high, moderate or low.
The participants were shown pictures of physical pain, such as a finger caught in a door or a toe trapped under a heavy object. They were first asked to imagine that these accidents happened to themselves and then to imagine that they happened to others.
When highly psychopathic inmates imagined themselves in these painful situations, they showed higher-than-normal activity in certain brain regions involved in empathy for pain. But these regions failed to become active when they imagined others in pain.
Moreover, when imagining other people in pain, highly psychopathic inmates showed increased activity in a brain area known to be involved in pleasure, according to the study, which was published Sept. 24 in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.
The findings may help lead to new treatment approaches for psychopaths, the researchers said in a journal news release.

High-Definition Video Adveritsing Network Launched
Brightroll's video advertising network is coming out with High-Definition ad units, enabling brands to deliver HD-quality advertisements across Brightroll's network of content publishers.
Given the current growth of video advertising, adding HD support is a likely progression for a successful online video advertising network to make. The recent move towards adding support for HD video content to video sharing sites and other content destinations translates into the need to make advertisements fit better into the HD content.
Brands that currently supoport HD-ready marketing content can easily turn Brightroll into a turnkey solution for HD advertising across the web.
Here is the announcement from Brightroll:
BrightRoll, Inc., the world's largest video advertising network, today announced a proprietary HD advertising unit, a first-of-its-kind ad network offering that allows branded advertisers to deliver campaigns in high-definition across BrightRoll's extensive network of premium publishers.
Despite massive retail promotions around HDTV, a dramatic rise in HD content and studies demonstrating the superior performance of HD ads, television advertisers have yet to fully realize the benefits of HD due to a lack of critical mass amongst TV owners. Indeed, the Consumer Electronics Association estimated HDTV penetration at just 33% of U.S. households as of July 2007.
BrightRoll's proprietary HD unit takes advantage of the overwhelming number of consumers with broadband connections and LCD monitors, as well as the growing number of advertisers with HD-ready creative. With BrightRoll, advertisers can now use HD content to reach more than 65% of all Internet consumers, which is significantly higher than the reach of HD ad units on television or any other medium. Additionally, BrightRoll simplifies HD campaigns for advertisers by providing access to the largest segment of pre-approved, HD-ready publishers online and eliminating rich media delivery fees which reduce the value of campaign ad spend.
BrightRoll is offering innovative advertisers the industry's broadest reach across branded, HD-ready publishers and is working with a variety of entertainment and technology advertisers and agencies to develop, experiment with and deliver compelling high touch campaigns.
"To date, video advertising has been limited in terms of video unit size and quality and advertisers have continually struggled to scale campaigns across large amounts of branded inventory," said Mike Racic, senior vice president, Universal McCann. "BrightRoll's new full screen, HD unit offers a vehicle to reach our targeted audiences at scale, helping us to promote ad campaigns in an environment that is both powerful and brand-friendly."
Since the company's launch in July 2006, BrightRoll has secured its place as a premier video advertising network that connects hundreds of top tier publishers and advertisers looking to deliver high-quality, compelling campaigns that are targeted, trackable and scaleable. BrightRoll's advertising network offers unmatched ad delivery and campaign management solutions across brand-safe inventory that is ideally suited to leading brand advertisers.
As high-quality advertisements begin to make their way online, BrightRoll works with advertisers and media agencies to realize the benefits of transparent, measurable and more engaging online media campaigns. BrightRoll was the first video ad network to offer full screen ads which can now be optimized for high-definition viewing and targeted to reach desirable audiences at rates lower than television.
"Our new HD advertising unit enables our advertising clients to deliver more impactful and higher quality online video campaigns to a large, targeted audience," said Tod Sacerdoti, CEO, BrightRoll. "BrightRoll is committed to delivering online video advertising innovations and empowering our brand advertising clients to deliver, track and manage video campaigns that push the boundaries of current market offerings."
BrightRoll executes video campaigns on hundreds of publisher sites, including more than 50% of the top 100 online media properties in the United States. The average BrightRoll video campaign reaches over 50 million unique users over a six-week period. A video advertising innovator, BrightRoll is built entirely on proprietary video ad serving, targeting and optimization technology.

Blink is Chrome's open-source rendering engine. The Blink team is evolving the web and addressing the issues encountered by developers.
There have been a number of behind-the-scenes improvements started since our April launch.
First thing we did was to delete half our source, which we didn't necessarily need. We're still not done! And we're not doing this blind: code removal is based on anonymously reported aggregate statistics from Chrome users who opt in to reporting.
We publish a new developer API every six weeks: the same as Chrome's shipping schedule is.
One big change we made when we forked from Blink was to add an intents system: every time before we're going to change the web platform, we send a public announcement to Blink dev announcing our intent to add or remove a feature. Then we go off, and we code it! And then the very next day after the feature is checked in, it's already there shipping in our Canary builds. This feature is off by default, but you can turn it on using about:flags.
Then, on our public mailing list we announce an intent to ship.
At chromestatus.com you can see the features we've worked on, the features we've shipped, and those we're planning to deprecate. You can also check the Chromium Releases blog, which has links to bugs and to our tracker dashboard.
Another big change is that we're removing WebKit prefixes. The intent is not to use Blink prefixes, but to have run-time flags (and not just compile-time flags).
Android WebView has been a big challenge – but HTML5Test shows that things are getting better. We're much closer to desktop in terms of having one set of web platform APIs everywhere (Web Audio is a great example of this!)
But how does the sausage machine work? Every single change we make to Blink is immediately run through over 30,000 tests, not to mention all the Chromium tests that run additionally later. We use 24 hour sheriffing, with thousands of bots, thousands of benchmarks, and systems that throw millions of broken web pages at our engine to make sure it doesn't fall over. We know that mobile is significantly slower, and this is something we're working hard to improve.
So what's new?
We want to know what you have to say!
If you feel C++ in your blood and want to write C++ with us, all of our code is open. You don't have to tell anybody or evangelize to us. You can just simply post a patch or file a bug!

More people are connected to the web today than ever before – and from more places.
We're connected with our laptops, phones and tablets, and probably soon enough with personal devices and accessories. We access the internet from untrusted and sometimes even hostile networks. With so much of our lives moving online, it's imperative we take steps to protect our data and our users' data.
Above all, as developers we need to understand the necessity and practicality of SSL.
What's SSL? It stands for Secure Sockets Layer, and it's a cryptographic protocol designed to provide communication security over the internet. It guarantees privacy, via encryption and integrity, to prevent snooping or tampering with your internet connection. SSL has it's flaws, but it's the leading way – and really the only way – to ensure any kind of data communication security on the internet.
According to SSL Pulse, a year ago we had about just under 15% of SSL adoption; we're now over 50% adoption.
Two acronyms:
TLS: for most intents and purposes the same as SSL. To be precise, SSL 3.1 was renamed to TLS, and TLS is the IETF Standard name. But they're interchangeable!
HTTPS: this is HTTP over SSL, just the layering of the security capabilities of SSL and standard HTTP. First the client–server handshake, using public/private key cryptography to create a shared key – which is used by the second part of the SSL protocol to encrypt communication.
Networking on the internet may feel safe, immediate and fast. It feels like we're talking directly to the website. But in reality, it's not a direct connection. Our communications go via a wifi router, an ISP, and potentially other intermediary proxies between your device and the website. Without HTTPS, all our communications is in plain text.
Trouble is, users rarely type in a full URL specifying HTTPS – or they click a link using HTTP. Worse, it's possible to mount a (wo)man-in-the-middle attack and replace HTTPS with HTTP. A tool called SSLstrip introduced in 2009 does just that. Firesheep, from 2010, just listened to opened wifi networks for cookies being sent in the clear: that meant you could listen in on chat, or log in to someone's Facebook account.
But SSL is (relatively) cheap, fast and easy to deploy (check out ssllabs.com and Ilya Grigorik's book High Performance Browser Networking). For non-commercial use, you can even get free certificates from startssl.com! Public Key Pinning is designed to give website operators a means to restrict which certificate authorities can actually issue certificates for their sites.
"In January this year (2010), Gmail switched to using HTTPS for everything by default. .. In order to do this we had to deploy no additional machines and no special hardware. On our production frontend machines, SSL accounts for < 1% of the CPU load, < 10 KB of memory per connection, and < 2% of network overhead…
If you stop reading now you only need to remember one thing: SSL is not computationally expensive any more."
– Overclocking SSL, Adam Langley (Google)
Lastly, a couple of bugs we see most commonly:

Along with a proliferation of new devices and platforms on the web, we're seeing huge growth in audio, video and realtime communication. Online media is transforming the way we consume media of all kinds.
A UK government study found that 53% of adults 'media multi-task' while watching TV: using mobile devices to share and consume media. In many countries TV viewing is down and online viewing is up. In China, for example, in 2012 only 30% of households in Beijing watched TV, down from 70% in 2009. According to the W3C Highlights 2013, 'In the past year video-watching on mobile devices has doubled. This year in the US, the average time spent with digital media per day will surpass TV viewing. Viewing is no longer a passive act. In the US, 87% of entertainment consumers say they use at least one second-screen device while watching television.' According to Cisco 'video ... will be in the range of 80 to 90 percent of global consumer traffic by 2017'. That equates to nearly a million minutes of video every second.
So what do we have for web developers? An ecosystem of media APIs for the open Web: standardized, interoperable technologies that work across multiple platforms.
Slides: Media APIs for the multi-device Web
A lot has happened with WebRTC over the last few weeks. Time for an update!
In particular, we're really excited to see WebRTC arriving on multiple browsers and platforms.
getUserMedia is available now in Chrome with no flags, as well as Opera, and Firefox Nightly/Aurora (though for Firefox you'll need to set preferences). Take a look at the cross-browser demo of
getUserMedia at simpl.info/gum—and check out Chris Wilson's amazing examples of using
getUserMedia as input for Web Audio.
webkitRTCPeerConnection is now in Chrome stable and it's flagless. TURN server support is available in Chrome 24 and above. There's an ultra-simple demo of Chrome's RTCPeerConnection implementation at simpl.info/pc and a great video chat application at apprtc.appspot.com. (A word of explanation about the name: after several iterations, it's currently known as
webkitRTCPeerConnection. Other names and implementations have been deprecated. When the standards process has stabilised, the
webkit prefix will be removed.)
WebRTC has also now been implemented for desktop in Firefox Nightly and Aurora, and for iOS and Android via the Ericsson Bowser browser.
DataChannel is a WebRTC API for high performance, low latency, peer-to-peer communication of arbritary data. The API is simple—similar to WebSocket—but communication occurs directly between browsers, so DataChannel can be much faster than WebSocket even if a relay (TURN) server is required (when 'hole punching' to cope with firewalls and NATs fails).
DataChannel is planned for version 25 of Chrome, behind a flag – though it may miss this version. This will be for experimentation only, may not be fully functional, and communication won't be possible with the Firefox implementation. DataChannel in later versions should be more stable and will be implemented so as to enable interaction with DataChannel in Firefox.
Firefox Nightly/Aurora supports
mozRTCPeerConnection and
DataChannel (but don't forget to set your about:config preferences!)
Here's a screenshot of DataChannel running in Firefox:
This demo is at http://mozilla.github.com/webrtc-landing/data_test.html. Here's a code snippet:
pc1.onconnection = function() {
log("pc1 onConnection ");
dc1 = pc1.createDataChannel("This is pc1",{}); // reliable (TCP-like)
dc1 = pc1.createDataChannel("This is pc1",{outOfOrderAllowed: true, maxRetransmitNum: 0}); // unreliable (UDP-like)
log("pc1 created channel " + dc1 + " binarytype = " + dc1.binaryType);
channel = dc1;
channel.binaryType = "blob";
log("pc1 new binarytype = " + dc1.binaryType);
// Since we create the datachannel, don't wait for onDataChannel!
channel.onmessage = function(evt) {

More information and demos for the Firefox implementation are available from the hacks.mozilla.org blog. Basic WebRTC support is due for release in Firefox 18 at the beginning of 2013, and support is planned for additional features including
getUserMedia and createOffer/Answer constraints, as well as TURN (to allow communication between browsers behind firewalls).
For more information about WebRTC, see Getting Started With WebRTC. There's even a WebRTC book, available in print and several eBook formats.
Constraints have been implemented in Chrome 24 and above. These can be used to set values for video resolution for
getUserMedia() and RTCPeerConnection
addStream() calls.
There's an example at simpl.info/getusermedia/constraints. Play around with different constraints by setting a breakpoint and tweaking values.
A couple of gotchas...
getUserMedia constraints set in one browser tab affect constraints for all tabs opened subsequently. Setting a disallowed value for constraints gives a rather cryptic error message:
navigator.getUserMedia error: NavigatorUserMediaError {code: 1, PERMISSION_DENIED: 1}
Likewise the error if you try to use
getUserMedia from the local file system, not on a server!
Tab Capture is now available in the Chrome Dev channel. This makes it possible to capture the visible area of the tab as a stream, which can then be used locally, or with RTCPeerConnection's
addStream(). Very useful for sceencasting and web page sharing. For more information see the WebRTC Tab Content Capture proposal.
Keep us posted by commenting on this update: we'd love to hear what you're doing with these APIs.

I've played a resto druid as my main from Kara, on through Hyjal, BT, Sunwell, and now through Naxx, Ulduar, ToGC, and ICC. I've gone from rolling Lifebloom and maybe a rejuv/regrowth on 1-4 tanks and nothing else, to spamming Regrowth and little else, to a mix of all of my spells, and now to WG/rejuv spam.
In that time, and throughout those changes in mechanics, my position on the meters has varied greatly. In BC, it was a rare day that any druid topped the healing meters. We didn't heal people - we just provided a buffer for the other healers. There were those fights where we came out at or near the top, but usually, we were not number 1. As we moved into WotLK my position on the meters has trended upwards, and I do very often top them now.
Throughout all of this, I always had a raid spot. I didn't have one because I was topping the meters. I didn't have one because I was the token tree (we had several trees in guild). I didn't have a spot because our other healers sucked. I had a spot because despite where I may show up on Recount, when I am there, people die less.
When they announced the change of Tree of Life to a cooldown, I started considering not being resto any longer. I considered changing my main to another healing class. I still haven't decided, and won't until I see the changes in action.
I didn't feel that way because I won't top the meters. I didn't feel like that because I won't get a raid spot any more. I feel that way because I like being a tree. It is a pointless, inconsequential graphical change, and little else. But it is who I have come to identify my character with. I don't care if it is restrictive. It has come to symbolize the essence of the resto druid to me, and I will miss that.

Do you have to be a good liar to be a good storyteller?
What is the main difference between a lie and a fictional story? aren't they quite the same thing? Are novel writers basically mass-liars? What are the basics of lying that you can also find in story-telling?
I'm writing a novel based on a character who lies to everyone about his life, a con-artist who decides after a shock to stop lying and starts to write a fictional book because he desperately needs to lie to feel alive, but he's stuck with writer-block syndrom.
If you can help me answering these questions it will help me a lot.
BTW I'm french so, I'm sorry if sometimes my english is bad.

Sep 13 2013: No, a lie and a story can be very different things and can have very opposite outcomes. When someone lies, they are intentionally deceiving themselves and others knowing it could have extremely harmful or negative effects. Telling a story is a way of people exposing and using their imaginations just like all the fairytales we grew up with that we all like so much. Making the impossible POSSIBLE, one way or another, Real or imaginative and without that, we wouldn't have books to read and movies to watch.

Florida LGBT leaders push for marital equality four years after gay adoption became legal09/22/14Politics
TALLAHASSEE — Florida's ban on adoption by same-sex couples stood for 33 years before the 3rd District Court of Appeal overturned it as unconstitutional four years ago.
But rather than celebrate that anniversary, gay rights groups Monday called for the same recognition of same-sex marriage in dual news conferences in Tallahassee and Miami. Despite a recent spate of court rulings overturning the ban on same-sex marriage, Attorney General Pam Bondi, with Gov. Rick Scott's support, has filed appeals upholding the ban....
Rivera seeks, denied, delay in ethics case09/12/14 Blog
Faced with the exodus of his legal team, David Rivera tried to delay a Florida Commission on Ethics case that found he violated the state's rules for elected officials.
But on Friday, when told of his latest maneuver in a two-year-old case, the Commission unanimously rejected further delay, recommending instead that administrative law judge David Watkins determine penalties for the violations by Rivera, who appeared late at the hearing and missed the discussion on his case....
State economic report casts doubt on feasibility of Scott's tax cut plan09/10/14 State Roundup
TALLAHASSEE — Since late August, Gov. Rick Scott's promise to slash taxes and fees by $1 billion over the next two years has been the backdrop for his re-election campaign, fueling a two-week tour through Florida.
But while Scott's campaign to promote the plan took him to the Panhandle town of Milton on Wednesday, the focus on whether it could actually work shifted 178 miles east to the Capitol, where lawmakers discussed the state's financial outlook....

TALLAHASSEE — Gov. Rick Scott is promising Florida voters a $1 billion package of tax and fee cuts in a second term, including new limits on property tax increases and another cut in auto tag fees.

Floridians to get $1 billion from Bank of America mortgage settlement08/21/14 State Roundup

TALLAHASSEE — Standing alongside Florida Agriculture Commissioner Adam Putnam and representatives from business groups, U.S. Rep. Steve Southerland on Monday touted federal legislation to block federal oversight of waterways and wetlands in favor of state and local government agencies.
"If the big government bullies are successful, it will mean higher costs for doing business, more uncertainty in the workplace, and fewer jobs," the Panama City Republican said during a news conference in the state Capitol.

TALLAHASSEE — A Leon County circuit judge ruled Friday that George Sheldon has no residency issues that disqualify him from running for or serving as Florida attorney general.
"I'm thinking of all the jury excuses that I hear as a judge, day in and day out, from people who work out of their home, people who work out of state, truck drivers that are out three to four months at a time," said Chief Judge Charles A. Francis. "But their home is right here. They reside right here. I think, in this case, Mr. Sheldon's residence is where he's resided in Tallahassee, except when he worked out of state. He still came back to Tallahassee and stayed at the house he owned and maintained."...

Shenton College will host the trials for the State Team on Sunday, March 4. This is an important training day for all debaters and is well worth the effort. Shenton has a great bunch of senior debaters capable of joining the state squad and we wish them all the best. Interested students should speak to Louise Secker or Chris Hill.

The priest we know walks with an older priest we do not know. The young priest is expressing his doubts that God's love extends to space aliens. The older priest reminds him to have faith not only in God, but also their trusted leaders who have all jumped on board the alien bandwagon. And if he doesn't like it Jack (the younger priest) is welcome to call up the Vatican and complain. Jack's eyes widen at the thought of the infallibility of the Pope, who apparently has already issued some 'aliens are alright' decree. Jack still has doubts about how god and extraterrestrial life can co-exist, revealing that he hasn't watched nearly enough Battlestar Galactica. The older priest plots how best to martyr Jack before he can let the creeping doubt interfere with his ministry. Jack points out that their ministry consists of two hookers and a heroin addict, but the old priest quietly points into the church: every single seat is filled and people are still pouring into the church. You gotta have faith-a faith-a faith. Heh heh, now you all have George Michael stuck in your heads, too.
Tyler and his idiotic friend are watching the news, which is reporting that the UN is gathering to meet with the aliens. Erica, however, is working. She is a counter-terrorism expert and has been tracking cells of terrorists. When the aliens arrived, chatter dropped among all the terrorist groups, except one, where it spiked. She thinks this is intriguing, but her partner who is played by the guy who played Wash in Firefly doesn't think it's that interesting. And now for a brief geek out: I am so excited to see Wash and Inara together again. Firefly was such a great series and they were great characters in it and I love watching the diaspora of the Whedon-verse. And did you all see Nathan Fillion strap on his Captain Mal costume on Castle? Be still my nerd heart. Agent Erica thinks it is odd the cell would suddenly be trying to buy a large amount of C4. She thinks they are going to hit a target while the whole world is distracted by the Visitors. Wash says he will look into it. He asks how she is doing with this whole we-are-not-alone thing and she shrugs and bitches about her self-centered ex-husband. Somehow, he's still a dick, even though aliens exist.
On the news, we see Anna has flown down to the United Nations and is on her way into the General Assembly. She stops to speak to the gaggle of reporters (that is the official term for it) and Chad Decker is in the crowd. Anna reports that the Visitors are thrilled to have new friends to invite to their birthday parties. Anna reminds the world that they are at peace, always. Chad clicks his pen thoughtfully. Tyler, Erica's son, stares googly-eyed at the TV screen seemingly mesmerized by the beautiful Anna and her message of peace. Or, after years of sitting too close to the television set, his eyes got stuck open. At the UN, the real reporters are asking the tough questions like why the alien lifeforms look just like humans and Anna answers coyly, which makes the reporters press her. Chad Decker can't stand watching journalists hard balling such a pretty lady (that sounds really...dirty) and gallantly requests that they show respect and only ask questions like what is her favorite food and which Jonas Brother she likes best. The real journalists all turn to stare at the chuckleheaded Chad, but Anna smiles at him and lets him ask his tough question. Chad asks if there is such a thing as an ugly Visitor. She doesn't get it, so he explains that all the Visitors he has seen are very attractive. Anna thanks him and then flirtatiously adds that "he's not so bad" himself. Everyone titters appreciatively and Anna walks off, leaving them wanting more, always. Before she steps onto the elevator, she frenches Chad with her eyes. Aliens are kinky like that. Chad uses the interaction as a teaching moment on his nightly news broadcast. He thinks her pithy comeback reveals that the Visitors have a sense of humor. I think it reveals that she read a lot of Cosmo during her intergalactic travels. Once back in outer space, Anna flips from a re-run of Friends (Fact: Chandler Bing is hilarious in any language) to catch Chad's broadcast. A minion comes to her and she tells him that she wants Chad. We can only assume as an entree.
Oh look an ad for 2012. I guess we already know how it ends, since they announced a television series based on the movie with the title 2013. Guess I'll save my money and put it towards my bomb shelter. It's guaranteed 100% Mayan proof!
Cut to three weeks later. The Visitors have set up healing centers and people afflicted with the 65 ailments the Vs can cure (not hangnails, though, natch) are flooding the offices. People are flocking to host cities to see the motherships in person and the government is setting up Visitor Centers. Obviously some people who were undoubtedly fat in junior high and mocked accordingly and now suffer from low self esteem and are taking it out on the Vs, are protesting the arrival of such pretty pretty people. Agent Erica is hard at work tracking terrorists. She tells her partner (whose name we still don't know) that she finally has a real lead on her terror cell. She shows him a report of a stolen van that was found on an abandoned brownfield site in Long Island. The truck had traces of C-4. They go investigate. Agent Wash (they still haven't told us his name) hasn't turned up anything during his survey of the site, but intrepid Agent Erica, who is definitely the Brain to Wash's Pinky, is on to something. She spies a decrepit shack in the middle of the brownfield. While at first glance it is empty, she pulls a rope and finds a trap door. She is really earning her exorbitant salary right now. She and Wash head down the trapdoor, turn on the lights and step into a long cement underground hallway. They pull their guns and investigate. Erica leads naturally as Wash is pretty much a putz. They follow the tunnel and find a room populated solely by a man who appears to have been beaten to death and left tied to a chair. Wash smartly rules out suicide as the cause of death. Erica ignores him and continues her investigation. She uncovers an enormous stash of C-4.
Ryan (Morris Chestnut) is leaving an office building when his phone rings. It is a white guy, who apparently shops at the same store as Ted Kaczynski, so we pretty much know exactly who and what he is from the get go. He needs Ryan's help, because "they are here and it has started." Ryan doesn't know how he got his number (bathroom stall on the left at the office, obviously), but he needs to forget it. Ryan is just not that type of guy anymore. Ryan hangs up on him just as his lady meets him for lunch. The phone rings again and Ryan silences it. At the Manhattan Heliport, Tyler and his doofus friend have somehow managed to score tickets to a tour of the Vs' mothership. They get on a shuttle and fly to the enormous ship. They shuttle lands in the middle of a ship so huge that it really looks like a cross between the Cylon base ship and Cloud Nine, the R and R ship in the Galactica fleet. The ship is obviously very clean and white, because as far

Earth Day Resolution: Stop Building Projects Like the Zoo Interchange
Leading up to Earth Day, the New York Times ran an editorial, "Time Is Running Out," lamenting the lack of urgency in the United States to prevent a very urgent problem: catastrophic climate change. Today, Brad Plumer at Vox explained why it may be too late to keep average temperatures from rising more than 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels — the threshold that climate scientists have been warning about.
There are many steps we'll have to take to drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions. But one of them is most definitely this: America has to stop spending billions on projects like Wisconsin's Zoo Interchange and start getting serious about building places where people can get around by walking, biking, and taking transit.
The Zoo Interchange embodies America's broken transportation spending system, which former US DOT official Beth Osborne described on Atlantic Cities today as "an entitlement for state departments of transportation to allocate for their own priorities."
This single highway interchange, aimed at reducing delays for suburban car commuters in the nation's 30th largest city, costs more than total federal spending on walking and biking annually.
The Zoo Interchange carries 300,000 cars per day. It is "Wisconsin's oldest and busiest interchange," according to the state. A big part of Wisconsin DOT's justification for the Milwaukee interchange is "safety." According to WisDOT, there were an average of 2.5 collisions a day on the interchange between 2000 and 2005 and nine were fatal.
By comparison, according to the 2009 National Household Travel Survey, Americans make about 112 million walking trips daily. About 4,000 pedestrians are killed annually on American roads.
And yet, Wisconsin will spend more on this one sprawl-inducing highway project than the feds spend each year on all walking and biking projects combined.
Clearly, our priorities are out of whack — way out of whack.

HUNTSVILLE, Texas — Three camera angles caught the brief escape of a Houston inmate last week.
Watch as inmates Trent Archie and Davis McLeskey appear to talk on the phone while officers watch on. Their heads are kept low, and it was later admitted McLeskey talking to anyone, according to ABC.
Detectives said the inmates were waiting for a staged fight to erupt in the jail, according to Click2Houston. They knew the officers would open the door to try to break up the fight.
When a male officer opens the door the two inmates rush into the booking office. They punch and kick three officers, and Archie slips through the door to freedom.
The rest of the escape isn't seen. Archie went through another door and ran into a waiting car, according to reports. McLeskey was immediately recovered. Archie was captured three days later.
