Shame not to see more realistic and balanced "report" regarding this incident.
I followed this early on and can say that you wont find the same "evidence" now you could earlier. Videos/sound have been edited. The actions were done to more than one server, you can hear and see the Swifty character laughing. The actions went from one server, then after crash to a second then a THIRD. One doesn't have to have many brain cells functioning to realize after the first or second time the consequences.
Was he treated differently? Would you or I be banned? Sure we would be banned and it would be reconsidered.
Many more unfair things of importance in the world than some pseudo-celebrity of a internet game getting his account banned for being frankly a jerk. Those that continue to proclaim his actions were unintentional wont be convinced otherwise. Its easier for Blizz to unban him than to deal with the manufactured fall out. Blizz is taking the path of least resistance, sure they caved. This was going to be a pain for them. Unfortunately those frenzied by his live stream to follow and spam will probably be the ones who's bans stay. Ban the mindless follower not the person encouraging it......makes sense to me, yep. (note that was sarcastic)
This is one of those things about gaming that is good for a rofl till you realize it only highlights that our "fantasy" world suffers from all the same unfairness and character flaws as our real world.
I'm sure he is a "nice guy" but oh my if he is half the person that people are making him out to be he would NOT be editing videos/sound to make himself look more "innocent" - he would be stepping up saying "Oh my did I mess up, I'm stupid please forgive me".
How about it Swifty - time to man up?
Just keep him off my server!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS Razor not impressed at all....

Honda Brio Review
Most Feature-rich and Affordable car in its ClassWednesday, November 13, 2013
Honda has made a new entry in the affordable car market in India with a cheeky small car - the Honda Brio. Since its September launch, the Brio has been very well welcomed by the Indian market and is tagged as a premium practical hatchback. In India, the Honda Brio is the second hatchback offering after the Honda Jazz that is already in the competitive small car market. With the Honda Brio's advertising phrase, "Love is a beautiful feeling, only when it's returned. Honda Brio loves you back!" it captures a fair share of the small car industry in India. With the high expectations, Honda has given the Brio some exceptional features so that it is able to surpass other small cars in terms of sales.
The Honda Brio has a simple neat design and a beautiful forward inclined position which makes it attractive to buyers. The outstanding styling and stunning design will definitely increase its demand not only in India but in other countries as well if the offerings of this car go beyond India in the future. The slogan alone will captivate some but for those who are more about function than form they may not cling to the words of the slogan too much. The rear has a one of a kind design and would be one of the selling features of the car as it further steps up its looks. It has back lights placed at the lower end and the rear is all made with glass. This concept of an all glass back is something rarely seen in the segment and that is what makes it looks unique in the small car market.
The Honda Brio is going to surely compel people to admire those little details that can be found on the rear glass that features a smoked out effect and lamps that are lined low. Overall, it has an extraordinary small car look. When it comes to the front features, the upper grille falls between the two crystal headlights and with a beautiful rear that is bigger and more appealing to the people who really love the aesthetic appeal of a car will gravitate towards this one. While the design has some of the elements of the Honda Jazz both the front and the rear are distinct enough to set the Brio apart. In terms of styling Honda Brio is seriously a looker with its aerodynamic design theme and full glass rear hatch, it is one of the best looking small cars in India. It will compete head-on with the Maruti Ritz, Hyundai i10, Chevrolet Beat and Ford Figo. Honda Brio beats all these cars when it comes to styling and overall looks.
The Honda Brio has a lot to show off in terms of its exterior design but when it comes to its interior this has not been compromised. It is designed to have a very spacious, exceptional and safe interior with materials that are made of top quality. It has a 5 passenger seating space with an under-four meter length and sufficient width. It guarantees a large interior and appropriate foot space. With this size, the Brio is easier to handle and is dependable like its elder sibling 'Honda Jazz'. The Honda Brio does not only contain exceptional interiors but also outstanding features. Honda Brio has sufficient legroom and headroom, interior are in single tone beige in the low-end variants and dual-tone beige in the high-end Honda Brio variants.
Comfort and Convenience
With its spacious interiors, the Honda Brio is comfortable for all passengers. The boot space of the car is very small which makes it capable of having room for small suitcases and a few bags. Its boot and fuel filler are remotely functional with convenient tinted glass and folding rear seats. The vehicle also includes cup-holders and a comfortable head rest that is very ideal for long drives. The front seats include head and legroom area to ensure the comfort of the passengers. The driver seat is also adjustable while the rear seats have good enough space so one can be comfortable even for long journeys. Like Honda Jazz, it also comes with manual controls for air conditioner and driver seat adjustments. It does not have a rear defogger though. These missing features are just one of the ways the Honda Company was able to cut the costs down in order for it to have an affordable price in the market to make for better competition.
The Brio has stylish and modern seats, electrically adjustable ORVMs, sporty style steering wheel and chrome garnishing air vents that sums up the stunning overall look of the interiors. The vehicle is also smartly designed to concentrate on the storage space and comfort of the passengers. The cabin has a spacious design with a good amount of space at the front. There are front and rear cup holders in the central console for added convenience not only for the passengers but for the driver as well. A headlight high, adjustable feature is also included and you are also reminded if the headlights are still on with the 'headlight off reminder' feature. The Honda Brio is also loaded with exceptional interior features such as rear view mirrors that can be electrically adjusted, front power windows in the base variant, front and rear power windows in other variants, front seats with integrated headrests and projector halogen head lights. Furthermore, you can also read the fuel you consumed through the 'fuel consumption display' feature.
Music System
The Honda Brio (on high-end variants) features a 2-DIN integrated music system with aux-in plus USB port. It also includes steering mounted audio controls, AM/FM radio and front and rear speakers with amber colored illumination. The music player of the Brio is positioned horizontally on the instrument panel.
Engine and Gearbox
Like the Honda Jazz, the Honda Brio is also powered by an 1198cc, SOHC, i-VTEC Petrol engine and this 1.2 litre engine makes it efficient when it comes to fuel consumption. It is powered with a maximum power of 88 bhp at 6000 rpm with a peak torque of 109 nm at 4500 rpm. Its impressive power and torque are exceptional when compared with other cars in the segment. The powerful engine houses a SOHC system which avails comfortable breathing of the engine leading to better fuel efficiency and more power. With its 1198 cc displacement, it is considered as one of the best in the B segment when it comes to engine performance. With the engine's modern i-VTEC (Intelligent Variable Timing and Electronic Lift Control) feature, it guarantees a powerful performance and uses less fuel. With its PGM-Fi four cylinder fuel type supply system, it delivers extreme engine performance. The superior engineering of the Honda Brio's engine makes it stand out when it comes to fuel consumption and great performance. The power and torque figures make it a great car to use from the hatchback segment. Honda recently launched the Brio Automatic which sports a five-speed automatic transmission and is available in one variant - VX.
Acceleration and Performance
Honda Brio 5 speed manual transmission which makes it capable enough to deliver an 88 PS of peak power at 6000 rpm and a 109 Nm of peak torque at 4600 rpm. The engine can certainly deliver very well on city roads because of its high torque at low rpm. Due to its lightweight body and powerful engine, the car can deliver a fair amount of acceleration. The Honda Brio can deliver an average acceleration of 100kmph for only 16 seconds and has a maximum speed of 185 kmph.
With its superior engineering, the Honda Brio is fuel efficient and environmentally friendly with a fuel tank capacity of 35 litres and a PGM-Fi fuel type supply system. With its 1.2-litre, i-VTEC petrol engine with 4 cylinder 16 valves and Single overhead camshaft (SOHC), the Honda Brio can deliver an ARAI certified mileage of 19.4 kmpl for the manual version and 16.5 kmpl for the automatic version.
Safety Features
The Honda Brio has left nothing to the fly when it comes to safety features. Even if it is practically made for everyone, the company still provides the best to car buyers when it comes to safety. It contains two airbags for front passengers including one Driver's side Intelligent SRS (i-SRS) and an ABS (Anti-lock Braking System). The i-SRS has a gas release control valve that allows you to deploy the air bags quickly thereby keeping it inflated and maintaining the safety of the driver. The Brio's ABS system with EBD also has a Brake Assist feature to improve your control over the vehicle. The vehicle is also based on G-Force Control Technology which makes it robust and crash resistant during collisions. In the event of a crash or collision, the Brio's seat belts allow the body to keep its position or place because of its pretensioners safety feature. With the rigorous crash tests conducted by the Honda Crash Test Facility before releasing the car into the market, your safety is guaranteed if you choose to purchase and drive this car.
Suspension and Brakes
The Honda Brio comes with an ABS system with ESP (Electric Stability Program) and EBD (Electronic Brake force Distribution) which makes it very reliable and dependable. It also includes an electronically-powered steering wheel with a McPherson Strut front suspension system. The front wheels are fixed to a special ventilated rotor for the disc brakes while the rear wheels are seated to a drum which houses the brake shoes.
Ride and Handling
With its 5 speed manual transmission, the Honda Brio guarantees easy handling and control when it comes to driving even on zippy acceleration. The vehicle includes a broad wheelbase and a solid body that guarantees you an overall control of the vehicle when driving. It also includes an electrically powered steering for easy handling of the vehicle. The tilt of the steering is also adjustable with a keyless entry feature. However, some says it delivers a harsh ride during low speeds but it delivers a good ride when a constant speed is kept at 90 to 100.
Honda created the Honda Brio with eye-catching colour options. The hatchback is available in six shades to include: Rallye Red, Energetic Blue, Urban Titanium, Taffeta White, Alabaster Silver and Crystal Black Pearl. Indeed, Honda has put in enough colors so that everyone can find their perfect car.
Accessories on Offer
To enhance the vehicle's look, Honda lets you choose to have one of two official accessory packages available. These are the Active package and the Mode package. The Active package includes a tail gate spoiler, side step illuminated garnish, door visor, floor mats, chrome exhaust pipe finisher and wood finish for the central console. On the other hand, the Mode package includes: protectors for the front/corner as well as chrome door protectors, side step illuminated garnish, rear cargo protector and side protector.
Value for Money
Honda Brio is priced competitively in the market and thereby is considered as the most cost effective and most affordable Honda car in India. Even if there are some missing attributes, Honda has put in exceptional features and striking colours that makes it a good enough trade-off as it is more economically priced though some things are missing.
Reasons to Bu
With the company's good reputation and after sales service, the Honda Brio is definitely a sure fire hit. If you are looking for a hatchback with great interior space, a stylish design and a vigorous drive then the Brio is the right one for you. With its smart design and practical features this is a hit with many of the customers who already own it.
Honda has definitely taking pricing and marketing methods and strategies into account while manufacturing this car. With its affordable price, multiple features, safety features, fuel efficiency, powerful and reliable engine, superior engineering, top build quality, spacious interiors and reputable name, this car is a good catch. Many would be able to fulfill their dream of owning a Honda by purchasing this car. There are those who have deeper pockets that may not want to purchase this car since it is missing some features which they may be able to find in another car that is priced at a higher cost. But the bottom line is this is an affordable car and there is no going around that fact. The vehicle has a very refined engine that generates a great performance with stylish design and good looks.

Foxing: should it be treated?
|Posted by Bruna on March 24, 2013 at 6:55 PM
You probably also had the unfortunate experience of looking at your collection and finding brownish or reddish stains on the back of the stamps or on the stock book. Foxing affects stamps and other philatelic items, as well as books and papers in general. It is believed foxing is caused by a fungus group or maybe by the oxidation of metals contained in the paper. (Calvini et al, p. 365a)
I used to have this problem in Brazil but, although Swiss climate is quite helpful, I still come across foxing with time to time, especially when receiving new stamps (from collections that were clearly left long unattended).
To avoid losing your collection to foxing, a prevention method is to maintain environmental humidity to the minimum. It is also not advisable to smoke in the room where the collection is kept, since fungi enjoy the nicotine layer left over from smoking. Also, it is advisable to get rid of the contaminated stock books and albums. Don't put wet stamps in albums, and try to keep stock books in shelves that can be closed, to protect them from dust. Opening the albums from time to time, to allow fresh air in, also helps. Don't forget to separate the affected stamps from the others.
There are many methods suggested online to stop or rescue stamps from foxing, such as submerging the stamp in boiling water (see results in the picture above), or hydrogen peroxide. I have never tried the latter, but must say hot water can affect stamp colours, depending on the stamp (please see the illustration bellow). Furthermore, it does not fully solve the issue. A 'cure' for the affected stamps is debatable. I have read in an article by Guy Podevin in the Brazilian Philatelic Club's website that it is possible to eliminate or at least lessen the damage by foxing by submerging the affected stamp in a mix of 20-30% lixivium and water, leaving it for some minutes, then put them under pure water and let it dry. This will of course, take out the gum of new stamps. The author, however, suggests that instead of putting it under water afterwards, that one may put them in trichloroethylene and the gum will be safe.
I am a bit skeptical with using chemicals to treat foxing, since this could be parallel to restoration: which is a very criticized topic in philately. Unlike art, restoration is seen by many philatelists as taking out the originality of the item. Of course, stamps that show stains lose a lot of their value, but sometimes restoration may take out all its value.
In the end of the day, it is up to the collector if he/she wishes to try and 'fix' the issue or simply throw the stamp away. What do you think?

I'm cited in your note about foxing. We are corrently working on the chemical/biological nature of the stains. We are near the identification of them. Once their chemical nature has been determined, I think it will be possible to do something about. In the meanwhile, utilise chemicals tho remove or bleach them. Your suggestions about the best way to stop the phenomenon, waiting for further scientificic research is OK

Lidia Wolanskyj wrote this article, Road Rage, on all the highway fatalities in Ukraine. Published in 2001 in The Eastern Economist, It's a really interesting read—of particular interest to me, of course, because my father was killed in a car accident there. (The link seems not to be working: http://rascalndear.blogspot.com/2010/08/rc25-road-rage.html)
My father was killed in a car accident. That's what I was told and what I was always taught. But.
Wolanskyj writes,
"Let me just read you the list of prominent people I know of, who have died in highway fatalities since we started publishing in February 1994:July 8, 1994, George Yurchyshyn, 54, US citizen, director of the Boston-based Ukraine Fund in Kyiv and his two Ukrainian assistants, age 34, and 33: DOANov. 13, 1997, Roman Lischynski, 57, Canadian director of the NATO IDC in Kyiv, and his driver: DOADecember, 1997, George Kuzmycz, US official dealing with nukes: DOAAug. 8, 1998, Oleksandr Veselovskiy, governor of Oschadny Bank: DOAMar. 25, 1999, Viacheslav Chornovil, 61, VR deputy, founder of RUKH and his driver, 35: DOAApr. 26, 1999, Borys Marusych, 49, general manager of UkrInMash: DOAApr. 30, 1999, Vasyl Vovk, Ternopil governor, and driver, seriously injured; other driver: DOAJan. 28, 2001, Oleksandr Yemets, 41, VR deputy, member of Reformy i Poriadok: DOANov. 9, 2001, Gregory Hulka, 44, new US Consul General to Ukraine; his daughter Abigail, 10; driver Yuriy Kotyk: DOA"
Last week, I moved all of my belongings into storage and took off for China, where I'm teaching for the summer. Because I was leaving, and because my boyfriend and I are "taking a break," we decided to give up our apartment, even though it was really, really nice, and surprisingly affordable. I toyed with the idea of subletting it, but there's no way I could afford the rent on my own when I return, and it would be depressing to be in our old place and surrounded by reminders that we couldn't make it work even though we loved each other and, again, had a pretty great apartment. In New York City, that's some sort of crime.
When I was slipping the keys to my storage unit on my key chain, I realized that although my key chain weighs, like, a pound and a half, the keys to that lock are the only keys I need. They, of course, weigh almost nothing. A lot of people move their stuff into storage and marvel at how their life and belongings, which once seemed so sprawling, fit so easily into a 5 x 10 unit. I certainly did, and knowing that key would be my only connection to all of my stuff when I was halfway around the world was both liberating and frightening.
My parents, hugging in the snow.
When I started this project, I thought my main struggle would be with the availability of information. There are only so many letters, photographs and memories, after all. But this hasn't been a problem. The real problem is what I'm doing with the information I'm getting. If I want to understand my parents, I have to be open to understanding them, and it turns out I'm not. I'm stubborn and attached to my narrative and my original impressions of them. I decided a long time ago that my parents had a bad marriage and they were unhappy. When I come across information that tells me otherwise, I experience intense physical and cognitive dissonance. My brain hardens. My screen goes blank. Every cell of my body says "Nope."
I'll try out phrases like, "My parents were really in love, at least for a while"—which is something their early letters seem to suggest—but it just sounds ridiculous, like I'm making it up. What if I made my version up? What if both options are correct? If I'm not willing to really learn something or change my ideas, I might as well just cry into the pages of a composition notebook in the privacy of my own bedroom, because this has all been for naught.
I've got two theories about why it's so difficult to accept new information about my parents. One is that there's just some serious rewiring that needs to occur for me to change my mind. It's a big shift. The other idea is that finding information that contradicts my assumptions is actually more painful than finding information that supports them. Because you know what? If my parents were happy, in love, having fun and accomplishing what they dreamed, it's sad that they fell out of love and life's complications got the best of them. It is sad. It is so really fucking sad that when I think about it I am filled with grief, and a little bit of terror. I think that's why I resist the shift in perspective—that would give me something to mourn. I'm still not mourning their disappearance from my life, but sometimes what happened to me doesn't seem nearly as bad as what happened to them (and between them). I HATE that this happened to them, and I hate that it can happen to anyone. At times, falling out of love, or waking up in the middle of a life that you didn't want, feels like the saddest thing I can think of.
I could be wrong. Maybe there were problems from the start. Maybe my mom saw marriage to my father as a solid way out of her regular life, and that's actually what he ended up being. Maybe he was always a short-tempered dick and was just good at hiding it until kids came along. But those sad stories almost seem comforting compared to the ones I may be discovering, which are ones I already knew, but had never applied to my own parents. Life can change you, and you can't always change yourself.
This is a great letter my mother wrote her best friend two months after my sister was born.
I can't believe what a happy new mom my mother was. She's self-aware enough to realize her joy might be a bit much for people, but I'm glad she was able to gush to her best friend. I've have a few friends with kids, and none of them were this effusive or energetic. They could barely answer emails for two months, let alone bang out a letter on a typewriter. I've always wondered if my mother was reluctant or unhappy to have kids; this letter puts that theory to rest. What gets me the most is her handwritten addition on page three, "I would gladly do it again."
This was Christmas 1990. My father was just about to start working in Ukraine. He'd been trying to make it as a consultant for a few years and wasn't having much success. We were in a tough place financially, but of course that's relative. Before the Ukraine job came through he was looking at a position in Saudi Arabia, and though he really needed a job, my mother hated the idea of my dad living there. She threatened to divorce him, but I don't think she was being serious.
Many, many years ago, my parents were detained at the airport in Saudi Arabia because security found a bunch of small bottles of booze in my father's camera bag when they were trying to enter the country (for business, I think). My father definitely knew better, so it must have been an accident—I don't know where they were coming from, but he probably swiped the bottles from the minibar and forgot about them. My parents were detained separately for hours, and my mother said guards repeatedly told her she'd never see her husband again.
This is definitely a weird picture (and obviously a poorly taken one). I think it's Christmas morning, so they're probably tired. My mother didn't like to show her teeth in photos because they were in pretty bad shape. I don't know if she was aware that her husband was going to spend most of the next few years in Ukraine, which barely had phone service at the time. No one thought Communism would fall in my parent's lifetime, and when it did, my mother understood why my father wanted to help build the country he left when he was six, and she supported him. Of course she had no way of knowing that he would basically be leaving her for Ukraine, where he created a whole new life, almost certainly had affairs, and died four years later.
I was thirteen, and I was thrilled my father was leaving. It was a relief to have him gone, as I am sure it was a relief for him to get away from home. I was a totally self-obsessed, depressed and annoying teenager, and I was having a lot of social and academic problems at the time. I'm sure this strained my parents marriage. But how awful that my mother not only had to deal with the complex emotions of her husband taking a job abroad, but she had to deal with me, on her own. It wasn't very fair.

An Earnest Proposal for Solving the Problem of False Alarms - Part 2
Bill Warnock takes an in-depth look at the physical and electromagnetic factors that affect false alarms
False alarms don't magically happen, and security equipment relies on the integrity of a home and the integrity of electronic systems. Come, let us step back and take a good hard look at what factors we're dealing with.
One of the first set of questions you have to ask is this: Was there proper site preparation to be assured the proper sensors were selected for their intended environments? Was it a proper site preparation? Yes, you must know the environment inside and out like the back of your hand. Let us start with the environment outside the protected structure. That's U.S. Army talk for building.
You're probably asking why we would examine the area outside a structure in terms of its effect on false alarms, right? Here's why: The noise, vibration and electronic interference will determine for the most part what type sensor is placed and where, the type of conductors used and method and location of control panel installation.
Further, it gives the owner, planner and local law enforcement some idea of mitigation necessary for a successful installation and operation. This may not be a one-time fix, as the environment changes so must the mitigation and perhaps sensors or the entire system either upgraded or replaced. Let's begin:
- Is there a fence surrounding the property? What is it made of? How far away from the building is it? If it is chain-link fencing, has it been properly bonded and grounded?
- What are the extreme wind velocities?
- How often does the area have lightning? Which are the worst months and frequency based on information from isokeraunic maps?
- Are there any high-tension lines close to or above the property where the building is located?
- Are there electrical transformers near the property line?
- Are there any sewer lifts, pump houses, welding shops, quarries with excavating machinery, air conditioning equipment, water pumps, agricultural equipment on or near the building?
- Are there any roads close to the building? What are the peak hours of traffic?
- Are there any major roads or interstate highways close to the perimeter boundary? Are they within 2,000 yards or 1,828.8 meters? What are the peak hours of traffic?
- Are there any railroad tracks close to the perimeter boundary? Are they within 2,000 yards or 1,828.8 meters? How often are they used?
- Is there an airport, private or commercial, domestic or international, close to the perimeter boundary? Does the landing/takeoff pattern or flight path go over or come close to the perimeter or building? What are the minimum altitudes?
- Are there ground or weather radar sites close to the perimeter boundary? What kind of radar is used and what are the expected radiated energy levels?
- Are transmission towers for television, AM-FM radio, to include amateur radio stations, or microwave close to the perimeter boundary? What are there operating frequencies and radiated power?
- Are there maritime installations close to the perimeter boundary? Are they within 2,000 yards or 1,828.8 meters? What is the activity and do they include harbors, canals or channels?
- Are there any rivers or lakes adjacent to the perimeter boundary? Are they navigable? Are they within 2,000 yards or 1,828.8 meters? Is the traffic light or heavy on a daily, weekly, seasonal or year-round basis?
To assure trustworthy sensor selection and installation, all these variables must be known and taken into consideration. Additional shielding such as special conductors (cable), ferrite beads or RFI gaskets may be required.
The Building
Now we tackle the building itself, both exterior and interior. You'll need to ask these questions:

About me1907-1973
About my libraryHas been reconstructed using such sources as the Harry Ransom Center special collections at the University of Texas at Austin. In 1972, one year before I passed into thoughtless heaven, I sold most of my books in preparation for my removal to Oxford, where I had been offered a place to live by unanimous vote of the Governing Body at Christ Church. What remained of my library were those books that I couldn't bring myself to turn over to the bookseller. That is the collection that you will find cataloged here.

It's hard to believe that Auden didn't own a copy of Absent & Present by his lover Chester Kallman. Absent & Present is a book of love poems written by Kallman to Auden.
posted by e-zReader at 9:44 pm (EST) on Jun 2, 2008
Seeing that your Library contains only books published up to the year in which W.H. Auden died, I would like to ask if this Library is a project to reconstruct Auden's Library for real or is it an imaginary Auden's library?
Being a curious one, I found this Library because I wanted to see the other three who own the Collected Verse of Lewis Carroll - 1932.
I found it decades ago in a secondhand bookshop in Cambridge.
It's been one of my most favored ever since.

Tooting his own horn
Music education major Brian Turnmire plays for some of the world's most prominent audiences
Brian Turnmire is more than a full-time musician, he is a witness to history.
As a trumpeter in "The President's Own" United States Marine Corps Band, Staff Sgt. Turnmire (BMus '02) has a ringside seat to some of the most exclusive events in the nation, including the last two presidential inaugurations.
"It's an incredibly long day of performances," says the Ridgeland native. "We play live at the swearing-in ceremony, march down Pennsylvania Avenue in the parade and then play again at one of the inaugural balls, ending about midnight."
Since January 2003 Turnmire has performed with the 160-member band, the nation's oldest continuously active musical organization, which was formed in 1798.
His first job after graduation from UGA was as principal trumpeter with the Chattanooga Symphony. But he also had auditioned for the Marine band, and when that job came through he enlisted for a four-year tour and moved to Washington, D.C. He has re-enlisted twice since then.
"I was hired for classical work, but I also perform in different ensembles within the band," he says. "I played with the jazz combo at the White House for a Stevie Wonder event last Spring. I played guitar in a country-and-western performance on the White House lawn on the Fourth of July and play 'Taps' at funerals at Arlington National Cemetery."
He also performs with a brass quintet called Five Star Brass and sometimes plays banjo and cornet on national tours with the Marine Corps Band.
"It's like no other job," Turnmire says. "My work hours are never the same. I'm always on call. I have to be ready to step in on short notice. Last Monday I got called to play for a congressional ball. "
In the summer he plays the outdoor concert series on the U.S. Capitol steps and on the Mall. He also is involved in the Music in the Schools program and directs music at a local church.
Turnmire continues advanced private studies with three music coaches, two principal trumpet players and a professor.
"I learned from UGA Professor Fred Mills that to be a lifelong learner, I have to keep learning new techniques and keep at it," he says.
"I never thought I'd be doing this. The level of playing is quite high, and my parents are proud of me—that means a lot."
"I appreciate being lucky enough to get a job playing music full time. Some of my ceremonial jobs even show up on C-SPAN."

What Are You Playing? March 31st, 2012
Posted on Saturday, March 31 @ 10:00:00 Eastern by Daniel Bischoff
It didn't take long for me to nab a PSN card and download Persona 3 Portable on my PlayStation Vita after I heard about the Atlus sale they have going on now. I don't know how much longer it'll last, but you should probably check it out now before it's too late.
In addition to P3P, I'll be playing Kid Icarus: Uprising and a hearty dose of World of Tanks so GameRevolution's review on the highly publicized free-to-play game can go live next week. Oh, and Riiiiidddge RACER! Unbounded... the game... might show up this weekend, but...

As Innovation Program leaders look to expand their scope and influence across complex, global organizations, they are turning to the development of Employee Innovation Networks. This article examines what these networks can look like, and provides some high level overview of the value that they can generate.

Today innovation is no longer "nice to have." If your organization is going to stay ahead of increasing competition, it's a "must have." This is something every CEO will agree with. But how does one increase their innovation capabilities? The good news is that innovation skills can be learned, just like any other discipline. Help us map the options currently available and get a free copy of the IM Executive Report 2014 in return.

It seems to be more or less a fact that the more mature a company is, the harder it is to produce something totally new that deviates substantially to what has been done earlier. In order to understand this phenomenon better Bengt Järrehult makes a comparison between human and industrial life, trying to elucidate the similarities and differences between the 2 worlds.

2013 saw a lot of exciting development within the field of innovation management. A growing number of companies are realizing that innovation management is not "nice to have", but rather a "must have". And it is a discipline that can be learnt. This is also reflected in the launch of a growing number of high quality online training programs as well as attempts to create a standard for innovation management.

How come that upper middle managers and entrepreneurs look at things in different ways? The answer lies partly in their personality types. It is known that certain personality types work better in certain situations than other. This is also valid for the innovation area, as Bengt Järrehult describes below.

In October 2013 Professors Henry Chesbrough, Wim Vanhaverbeke and Nadine Roijakkers, internationally renown for their contribution to the advancement of Open Innovation research, joined forces with InnovationManagement.se to launch project MOOI – an online Community where experienced innovation professionals of all backgrounds and from diverse industries actively discuss (and dissect!) Open Innovation themes closest to their lines of work. You too can be part of shaping the next important chapter(s) in OI literature and best practice. Read on to find out how.

Leaders have dual roles when managing innovation. In a bottom-up role, they stimulate innovative results as they facilitate ideas and initiative coming from individuals and teams. In a top-down role, leaders are the primary means for the organization to realize its innovation goals and strategies. A fundamental challenge is to balance these two roles.

Summer is for relaxing, but also for reading books in more depth. During his vacation Bengt Järrehult read Daniel Kahneman's book Thinking Fast and Slow for the second time and more thoroughly. Here are Bengt's thoughts on how Prospect Theory applies to innovation related decisions – the decisions that may seem stupid and irrational – but are they really?

An innovation is a simple new solution for a relevant problem. That's why at the start of innovation you should look out for relevant problems instead of ideas. But how do you find them?

People who pursue collaborative innovation wrestle with how best to describe the practice to their colleagues and to the larger community. How best to paint a compelling picture of the practice which encourages others to engage in ideation? In this article innovation architect Doug Collins paints a picture by way of drafting a communication from a senior practice leader to fictional organization Intriguing Design Corporation (IDC).
August 14, 2013 | By: Doug Collins
Organizations create centers of excellence to distill and disseminate best practices on any number of topics. Using this approach to support collaborative innovation has certain drawbacks, however. In this article Doug Collins identifies the drawbacks and explores an alternative way to support collaborative innovation which respects the tenets of the practice by adopting principles from the Montessori Method.
August 7, 2013 | By: Gijs van Wulfen
As innovator you need to look ahead and prepare your organization for the future. Not an easy job, knowing the world is changing at an increasing pace. What's going to happen? How will my market change? What new technology is out there? How are target groups changing? And what impact will it have on us?
August 6, 2013 | By: Doug Collins
Groups handling internal communications within their organizations experiment with engaging employees through virtual forums. These forums create space for collaboration. In time, meaningful collaboration foments a culture of innovation.
How might internal communications advance this culture? How might they secure deeper engagement?

Ian McLeod started taking photos of his infant son Cory on a whim. He thought it would be interesting to take a photo a day to document his newborn son's life. Fast-forward 21 years and he has captured a small lifetime on video.
The video sequence opens gradually, frame after frame captures a tiny baby from the day he was born in Yorkshire, England. Then it races forward and becomes Cory's life flashing before our eyes through pictures that Ian took of his son, every day of his 21 years. He compiled more than 7,500 images into this six-minute time-lapse sequence video.
I love this video and I know I am not the only parent who saw this and thought to herself, I am taking a photo every day for the rest of my children's lives. As a parent, it's so hard to let go. We never want to miss a moment but, sometimes, when we are right in the thick of it, it's hard to stay focused and not get caught up in the minutia.
When our children are first born, every single thing they do is a miracle, but soon the awe is replaced with obligations, homework, and dance and just trying to survive until the next moment of peace and quiet. But then we miss the chance to be blown away by our children.
I was watching old videos of my girls the other day, from when they were 2 and 4. They are now 5 and 7 and it made me sad because, I don't remember the sound of their little kid voices. Honestly, I can barely remember the omission of "s" and the soft consonants and that makes me sad. Ian McLeod's video is that illusive baby book that we never get to. I think I may just do this (from now on) by taking a video of them both every day and making a baby book of photos and sound bites when they are older.
I miss the "Me"s instead of "I"s and the "Shua" instead of "Sure" and I want to cry a little every time my 5-year-old says " Spoon" because just last year it was "poon" and I miss it. I want to keep it in my heart forever and maybe on audio and video too.
How often do you take photos of your baby?
Image via cloddyclips/YouTube
This is beautiful. What a creative tribute to a child. Hope his son appreciates it :)
Ha! Looking at the ultrasound--that's the same hospital I delivered my son at. Kinda funny, of all the places in England.
my 21 month old up until recently when she said thank you it sounded like 'tank-e' and I noticed a few days ago it now sounds like 'thank oo' I was thinking to myself, when did it change?
That's awesome. I take pictures of my kids every few days. My youngest turns 1 in less than 2 weeks and I think it will be fun to take a picture of her every day from age 1-2, lots of changes.
That was awesome. The thing I noticed the most, as the pictures were zooming by, was that as the boy grew and his features developed and changed, his eyes stayed pretty much the same. Wonderful legacy.

Street Fighter X Tekken review
It doesn't sound like fun because it's not fun. The chaining aspect of Street Fighter X Tekken's system is implemented with a huge amount of skill, but it badly needed the brakes put on it beyond a certain stage. As it is, almost half of the online fights I have degenerate into watching my poor saps get pummelled in the corner. Rolento and Rufus are among the worst offenders, capable of turning a landed jab into an endless string of blows that regularly removes over half your health bar – and these strings are not particularly difficult to execute, which makes them incredibly common.
This is not sour grapes. I'm not amazing at Street Fighter IV, but have sunk over 200 hours into it and am well-versed in the art of losing graciously. In Street Fighter X Tekken you're often just left watching a fight rather than participating in one. Everyone would accept that if an opponent breaches your defences, they should have the opportunity to deal some heavy damage – but here the skill ceiling is so low that almost every combo can end up being a huge one. This is a fighting game where you're often reduced to the status of punching bag.
It's a tremendously sad misstep, because in other ways Street Fighter X Tekken is a magnificent beast. Visually it's an astounding achievement, with more detailed versions of Street Fighter IV's chunky brush-textured models alongside definitive treatments of the Tekken cast. The marquee characters are superb, and Namco are going to have a difficult time topping Capcom's Heihachi and Kazuya, never mind the sensitive transformations of characters like Hwoarang. The latter is a Tae Kwon Do expert whose style pivots on the ability to change stance in an instant, which in Street Fighter X Tekken manifests in a fluid range of combo attacks and stunning midchain switches. These characters feel worth learning, worth investing your time in.
The tragedy is that the game lets them down. There are extensive singleplayer modes to practise and refine every single technique for every character, as well as an arcade mode and countless ways to customise fighters. But if the online matches aren't fun for us to play then all the tournaments, ranking points and video channels are just so much fluff. It's an impressive creation, but who cares?
Don't take that to imply this is a particularly good PC version, either. Street Fighter X Tekken is, as Capcom cheerfully admit, a functionally identical port of the Xbox 360 version. Bad enough, but the 360 version was inferior to the PlayStation 3's in the first place, lacking local co-op play (in a team fighting game!), and your five gigabyte download includes a bevvy of characters locked until Capcom graciously allow you to buy them at some point in the future. Regardless of whether Street Fighter X Tekken is the best game in the world or not, that's a scummy tactic – and Capcom's money-obsessed form with Street Fighter IV suggests there's a lot more to come.
None of this would matter if the fighting was better. There are stretches of X Tekken where it seems to work perfectly, with the right combinations of characters and similarly skilled players resulting in tense standoffs where every hit counts. But it's never too long before the loading screen shows your opponent has picked Poison and Hugo, and you know before the fight starts that they've memorised these characters' simple back-and-forth chains of combos. Those low expectations are duly realised. You should be excited when a fight's starting, not resigned.
It feels almost incredible to say it, but Street Fighter X Tekken is a bad game. It doesn't seem like a bad game, because everything looks amazing and in your hands the controls are fluid and punchy. But as soon as you start playing online, patterns are quickly spotted, and soon they become dominant themes. Such is the time you spend unable to influence the on-screen action that Street Fighter X Tekken just feels like a big drag.
Played offline or with a mate, this is a decent scrapper. But going beyond casual play is impossible, because Street Fighter X Tekken's clearly deep combat system is riven by an all-consuming flaw that rapidly smothers your interest. This game was given an easy ride on consoles, but don't be taken in. That's not a gi Ryu's wearing – it's the emperor's new clothes.
Has fantastic parts, but isn't the sum of them. Wait for the inevitable remix version, which may fix some of the problems.

Lilla LoCurto / Bill Outcault till we have faces
Our culture shapes how we perceive the normal events in our lives as well as the ways in which we try to interpret life's mysteries. Increasingly reliant on quantitative analysis in arriving at our worldview, we now arrive at conclusions and assumptions that, in the past, would have been explained by myths, fables and superstitions.
Understanding the function of myths in a social structure serves to clarify various stages in the history of human thought and also helps us to better understand contemporary life. Mythological stories reflect the vulnerabilities of human existence through the manipulations of superhuman beings. Our work explores this notion of frailty by building on examples from past societies where myth supplied models for human behavior. Lilla LoCurto and Bill Outcault begin working with a story from mythology and remove its narrative, producing an animation that becomes a visual cacophony of moving imagery, totally abstracting the original story while still reflecting its content.
By using a digital whole body scanner, the artists are able to place three-dimensional photographically recorded figures, generally their own, into a computer to work with as 3d objects. With these scans and the use of custom software, the artists create animations exploring the human body. It becomes distorted and grotesque, altering the way we visualize the figure. The scanner's cameras used in our current work only record external information. Subsequently the figures are hollow three-dimensional objects and in sectioning them they become ribbons of flesh. These calligraphic shards of sliced figures are meant to emphasize our vulnerability. They become painterly abstractions, at times like brushstrokes, of varying weights and intensities. The hollowness of the whole figures contributes to a sense of de-realization or the feeling that nothing is real while the shredding of the figures also makes them seem both anonymous and universal.
Looking at legends through contemporary eyes, we are better able to understand how we continue to be as manipulated by our culture now as we were in the past. Many of these myths, ostensibly lovely, romantic stories, are quite brutal. till we have faces was formatted like an opera, loosely based on the mythical love story of Cupid and Psyche. It is about the failed perception of love and the dysfunctional nature of a family unit. It expresses human conflicts and connections between those distressed and suffering. The tension, in an abstracted way, creates a thin line between the grotesque and the beauty of human life.
Collaborating since 1991, Lilla LoCurto and Bill Outcault are artists whose work concerns itself with the frailty of the human body. In 1999, using a whole body scanner in collaboration with anthropologists, cartographers and a computer scientist the artists produced three-dimensional, photographic maps of their bodies. With custom software, written in collaboration with mathematicians, they were able to deconstruct and remap the scanned figure generating choreographed imagery that was made into video animations. Currently, with an art and technology residency at the Wexner Center and in collaboration with OSU's departments of dance and theater and ACCAD, they are venturing into a new body of work that is moving away from animation as their sole footage source. The work will again include the use of a whole body scanner but will also incorporate video and motion capture of actors and dancers to create a collage of sorts to blend with the animation.
Exhibitions include a widely traveled solo exhibition selfportrait.map, which originated at the List Visual Art Center at MIT. They also have had solo exhibitions at the Frederieke Taylor Gallery in New York, Fundacio Joan Miro, Barcelona, Spain and Carpenter Center at Harvard University. Their work has been included in such group exhibitions as New Art. New York: Reflections on the Human Condition in Traun, Austria, Digital: Printmaking Now at the Brooklyn Museum of Art, and Contemporaneou.s. in Cornwall and Sunderland, UK. They have also contributed chapters and articles about their work to such publications as The Meaning of Photography, Clark Institute; Mapping in the Age of Digital Media, Yale University, and the journal Cartographic Perspectives. Published essays on their work include Lilla LoCurto and William Outcault: Self-Portraits for a New Milennium by Helaine Posner for Art Journal, spring 2006 and [un]moving pictures by Patricia Phillips in 2006 for a ten year survey exhibition at the Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art at SUNY New Paltz. They have held residencies at Maryland Institute College of Art, Colorado State University, Harvard University and the Wexner Center for the Arts, Columbus, Ohio.

Coming off a 150-mile week as he trains for his ING New York City Marathon debut on November 3, American Ryan Vail yesterday won the Rock 'n' Roll San Jose Half Marathon in 1:02:26.
"Running 4:40 to 4:50 [per mile] felt easy and that's a really good sign heading into New York, where I'm hoping to run upper 4:50s," Vail, 27, told Competitor.com after the race.
Vail later tweeted: "Solid tune-up today. Closed well off a decent pace. I'm right where I want to be 4 weeks from NYC #ingnycm"
Vail is blogging about his training here.
Yuri Kawauchi, who will also be running in his first ING New York City Marathon next month, is wildly popular in Japan, as this video aptly demonstrates.
After being bombarded by well-wishers at the starting line of the Hirosaki Shirahama Apple Half Marathon over the weekend—and happily greeting every one of them—Kawauchi went on to win the 13.1-miler by almost five minutes, in 1:04:42. Brett Larner of Japan Running News characterized Kawauchi's race as "a practice-level effort."
A frequent racer, to say the least, Kawauchi is planning to run his eighth marathon of the year on Sunday in Melbourne, Australia, before NYC.
Twin Cities Wheelchair Winners Set for NYC
Both winners in the wheelchair divisions of the Medtronic Twin Cities Marathon are headed to NYC. Susannah Scaroni set a course record in the women's race with her time of 1:54:37, and Josh George won on the men's side in 1:37:08. George, a three-time winner of the Bank of America Chicago Marathon, will first head there for Sunday's race … Also in the Twin Cities, 36-year-old Carrie Tollefson, a 2004 Olympian at 1500 meters, had a successful marathon debut, finishing in 3:02:47, 43rd overall in the women's race and sixth in her age group. "So fun but so brutal at the same time," Tollefson posted on Facebook. "Can't wait to do a proper build up and try again!"
Meb in the Spotlight
Meb Keflezighi, winner of the 2009 ING New York City Marathon, was the guest on last night's "Sports Spotlight" on NYC's ABC7. Asked what his biggest training concession to age has been, the 38-year-old replied, "The biggest thing that has changed is my diet." See the interview here.

Dollarization in Latin America
AbstractThis paper examines the pattern of dollarization in Latin America, focusing on the experience of five countries (Argentina, Bolivia, Mexico, Peru and Uruguay) during 1970-1993. It presents evidence on the relative size of dollarization, the allocation of foreign currency deposits, and the behavior of money velocity. The discussion stresses the role of institutional factors, macroeconomic conditions, and the dynamics of money demand In shaping the dollarization process; it also highlights the shortcomings of indicators frequently employed to analyze the phenomenon. The paper provides a brief critical assessment of the empirical literature on dollarization, and identifies areas where further research seems warranted.

Sofia Coppola's 'Somewhere' Wins Top Golden Lion Prize At Venice
Sofia Coppola's "Somewhere," a story about an actor dealing with the emptiness of his life thanks to his child, won the top Golden Lion prize at the Venice film festival Saturday.
Director Quentin Tarantino headed the jury which unanimously chose Coppola's film as the best movie at the 11-day annual festival.
"This film enchanted us from its first screening," Tarantino said.
Coppola has described the film as a "portrait of today's L.A."
"Somewhere" tells the story of a movie star, played by Stephen Dorff, who comes to see the emptiness of his existence through the eyes of his 11-year-old daughter, played by Elle Fanning.
With "Somewhere," Coppola, who herself grew up in the world of film thanks to her father, director Francis Ford Coppola, lampoons Hollywood's star treatment.
