Who Gets First Look?
by Felix Zeng on Aug 14, 2:33 PM
Advertisers, DSPs and agency trading desks are asking publishers for the first look at publishers' inventory. These clients, in return for bigger buys, are looking for integrations into the ad server rather than private deals through an SSP. The dilemma for publishers is deciding who, among multiple buyers, will get access to the first look.

Three Steps To Cross-Device Success For Publishers
by Bhumika Dadbhawala on Jul 24, 1:07 PM
The benefits that come with leveraging cross-device identity for advertising are well known. Cross-device campaigns lead to better targeting, stronger campaign metrics, and higher return on ad spend for advertisers, plus better user experiences, higher engagement, and more value from users as they move across screens. But even with the knowledge of these benefits, many publishers haven't fully embraced cross-device data. When publishers don't have insights about their users, they struggle to maximize the value of their mobile and desktop inventory.

An Open Letter To The Online Publishers Association
by Alan Chapell on Jul 17, 12:36 PM
Recently, Jason Kint of the Online Publishers Association wrote an op-ed on Do Not Track. In an attempt to paint the OPA as a leader in privacy and Do Not Track initiatives, Mr. Kint accused members of the third-party advertising technology community of "stonewalling the development of a 'Do Not Track' standard which would, in theory, give users greater control over online tracking." It would otherwise be commendable that Mr. Kint is taking a stand on privacy, except for the fact that Do Not Track doesn't stop OPA members from tracking. There's not a single thing that members won't be ...

The Earth Isn't Flat
by Ari Rosenberg on Jul 10, 2:56 PM
When a premium publisher with professional journalists and writers sell ads on an exchange (open or private), what they are really doing is disconnecting the value of their professionally produced content from their ad sales proposition. The value buyers place on these programmatic ads is tied to data and performance. Content is eliminated -- or at best, severely diminished -- from the equation.

What Publishers Can Do To Spark The Move To HTML5
by Buzz Wiggins on Jul 3, 3:26 PM
Remember back in February of this year, when the Interactive Advertising Bureau vented its frustration at brands for dawdling in making the fundamental shift away from the limitations of flash advertising to the superiority of HTML5? Timed with the IAB's Annual Leadership Conference, the trade group pulled no punches in an open letter to advertisers imploring them to move to HTML5.

How Trends In Long-Form Content Discovery Affect Future Ad Spend
by Joe Hyrkin on Jun 26, 12:14 PM
Attention spans are shrinking, content has become bite-size, and brands must market for the snacking consumer. But there is still a home for long-form content, and it's growing. In fact, the short-form culture of snippet-driven platforms, coupled with the skyrocketing boost of mobile devices, is actually helping to funnel consumers more effectively to the longer-form content they can immerse themselves in. A resurgence of magazines has begun, digitally. With that boom comes a new advertising opportunity. Here's why.

Print Publishers Should Pivot Back To Print

Publisher Pricing Fail (in The Open RTB Market): Why Dynamic Pricing Hurts More Than it Helps
by Alex Gardner on Jun 12, 4:19 PM
What is your value to buyers in the open market? Hint, it's not your floor CPM. Most publishers aren't in a position to confidently answer this question, and yet as more and more inventory is being accessed via real-time bidding (RTB) exchanges, the answer is becoming increasingly important. The digital ad market is still seeing double-digit growth, and more specifically, RTB is booming and projected to keep growing. Clearly, it's incumbent upon publishers to develop more intelligent pricing strategies to ensure their inventory's price matches its worth.

Programmatic Direct: Not Just For The Big Guys
by Andy Nibley on Jun 5, 2:08 PM
Publishers give up millions of dollars in high-CPM, incremental revenue because they often turn down small to mid-sized buyers. They simply don't have enough resources or time to close deals with all the buyers who want their inventory. At the same time, buyers are tired of spending time and wasting money trying to make deals through an endless stream of back-and-forth emails with publishers. There is a better way. Programmatic direct, or "automated guaranteed," as the Interactive Advertising Bureau calls it, is not just a solution for large agencies, trading desks and big brand marketers. It can also work for ...

It was controlled chaos at the chaos goes couture, punk-themed Met gala last night…emphasis on the "controlled" part. There was too much behaving at the Met Gala and It seems most of the beautiful people who graced the red carpet didn't get the memo that the theme was PUNK. Rebel yell? It was more like a Rebel whimper ..The very essence of punk is trashy, brash and bold- but most importantly punk is CHEAP. Punk is a protest and a do-it-yourself, anti-establishment riotous rebel yell. yes there are spikes, chains, safety pins and razor blades. yes there are tattered t-shirts, leather jackets, ripped jeans, bondage trousers, asymmetrical skirts and crinoline. But there were no long silky evening gowns in PUNK! No beaded Grecian goddess dresses, or diaphanous sheer caftans or delicate floral prints! Punk was not delicate, and it was rarely feminine… it was uncouth, urban, undone.. and it was rough and grimy and gritty. I am sorry but flipping through the photos of the couture gowns that passed off as punk last night I sort of felt the whole tone of the affair was a bit "missing the point". If it's punk you are celebrating, then for goodness sake dress the part! I mean isn't fashion all about taking on personas and recreating time periods through sartorial choices? When John Lydon fancied an outfit out of a pink (used) trash bag, I don't think he quite envisaged the same breed of punk that the satin and sequin-clad fashioni of last night seem to have begat. I mean even Elizabeth Hurley's safety-pinned Versace dress would seem down-right radical among the gossamery frocks that took center stage at the Gala. Punk's riotous origins began in London and New York in the 1970s, and it has always been characterized by an edgy, subversive, squalid street-wise attitude that was authentically cool-because it was really made from the street and reflected the disaffected sentiments that charachterized the rebellious youth. The music was loud and angry and unapologetic ( Sex Pistols, the Clash, the dead kennedys, the talking heads, and the Ramones) as were the clothes…..Few of the glitterati seemed to have gotten punk right last night, but Christina Ricci (in plaid Vivienne Westwood) Sienna Miller (in studded Burberry Prorsum), Elle Fanning (in Tye-Dye Rodarte), Julie Macklowe (in Hot-pink Zang Toi), Miley Cyrus (in a fishnet Marc Jacobs dress) and Zandra Rhodes (in a glorious safety-pinned ensemble) really captured the rebellious, riotous and unruly spirit of punk.
Sid Vicious would approve.
"Undermine their pompous authority, reject their moral standards, make anarchy and disorder your trademarks. Cause as much chaos and disruption as possible but don't let them take you ALIVE" ~ Sid Vicious

Kentucky Route Zero: Act 1 | Gaming reviews, news & interviews
Kentucky Route Zero: Act 1
Painting with darkness and light: chiaroscuro never looked so good in this point-and-click visual novel
There's nothing more off-putting in a game than a screen filled with awful and waffling text that just keeps on awfully waffling. It's one of the reasons Final Fantasy and I don't get along. It's refreshing then to discover a game that is predominantly text-based, but which is absolutely gripping.
Described by its creators as a piece of magical realism, the game is intentionally character-based, focusing on atmosphere and storytelling over puzzles and tests of skill. In fact Kentucky Route Zero is more of a visual novel than a typical adventure game, but it is these visuals which push the game into the realms of art.
Beginning your journey as lost delivery man Conway, you are searching the highways of Kentucky for a mysterious underground Route 0 with only the lonely sound of cicadas and a faithful dog in a battered straw hat for company. Later on you will take control of various other characters as you select from interaction options - a bit like Dungeons and Dragons – and watch as the consequences play out, be they in animated sequences of game play, or in incredibly descriptive text which, with the aid of sound effects, narrates the encounters you cannot see.
Not only is the writing in this game extraordinarily good, the visuals are artistically outstanding. The camera moves like a watching entity, roving through the landscape and zooming in to focus on a small section of action. As it does so, silhouettes melt out of the darkness, solidifying before your eyes.
As the shape of a house looms out of the gloom we are reminded of the mother's house in Psycho; the unnatural fluorescent shapes of trees protruding starkly from the monochrome landscape creates visuals on a par with The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari; the charming Depression-era Americana-style graphics are redolent of the stylised animations that used to precede 1960s farce movies and more recently films like Catch Me If You Can and Tintin.
A Kickstarter project which not only succeeded in achieving its funding goal, but has already been selected as a finalist in 2013's Independent Games Festival, Kentucky Route Zero promises a five-act bundle upon completion, and I for one can't wait until the next instalment.

The St. Louis Rams and quarterback Sam Bradford tried to go deep on the first play of the game. The intended receiver was Brian Quick. What happened on the play isn't exactly clear. I was watching a different game so didn't see this live and only have the GIF to work off of.
There pass isn't thrown near Quick, which means the receiver could've ran the wrong route, which led to the ball being thrown to a part of the field were there was no receiver. It could've been just grossly under thrown because he was under pressure. It also could have been tipped slightly at the line.
Nevertheless, it isn't how the Rams wanted to start the game. Captain Munnerlyn picked it off and returned it 45 yards for the touchdown. The good news, if there is any. The Rams got the ball back right away and could even the game back up on the next drive.
They went three and out on that drive, but held the Panthers to a three and out as well and are knocking on the door.

'Sempre Grace' for Vogue Espana - 1
Lara Stone: Lara's Moment - Vogue Korea by Hong Jang Hyun, August 2012
Heather Huey was shot by Billy kidd.
The Book.
Heather Huey was shot by Billy Kidd is a lyrical, sensually-charged photographic exploration of the complicity between the artist and model as both lovers and creative partners. Shot by photographer Billy Kidd, these abstract black and white images feature milliner Heather Huey obscuring her kinetic, blurred nude form with her own futuristic body cage, braid and cocoon designs. The resultant body of work obliquely invokes the spirit of Man Ray and Lee Miller while also remaining a unique statement of a time when fashion and art are more symbiotic than ever.
Designed by Alex Wiederin.

Of this picture, LIFE noted in its July 29, 1940, issue: "Trying, amid the general convention apathy and sullenness, to find some Democrats who appeared to be having fun [as it was clear FDR would be nominated for an unprecedented third term, the convention lacked drama], a LIFE photographer went to the famous 606 Club … featuring an almost continuous strip tease."

What makes for a breakout season for a college receiver? A hundred catches? A thousand yards? You could give 10 different answers and all 10 could be correct. The truth is, thanks to the diversity of systems at the college level, what may count as a middle-of-the-road season statistically may count as a fantastic season elsewhere. Catch 50 passes at Texas Tech, you're probably the third receiver; catch 50 passes at Army, you're making history. For the purpose of this list, the receivers are on the verge of entering the public consciousness, or at least within their conference. Guys like Nelson Agholor of USC or Sammie Coates of Auburn may make some "Breakout" lists, but they are already featured targets on their offense. For this list, a (relatively experienced) receiver must be stepping into an opportunity to be the main target on their team, as well as having the ability to be that target, and also have an established quarterback to get him the ball. Feel free to add your own suggestions, there are far more than 5 receivers who are going to be household names by the time December comes around. Well, I should hope so.
Geno Lewis, Penn State
With senior receivers Allen Robinson and Brandon Felder graduating, the Nittany Lions are losing 125 of their 241 catches from last season, a substantial amount. Sophomore quarterback Christian Hackenberg, who had an outstanding first season, will need to find some new targets to bail out tight end Jesse James. Step forward Lewis, who started a handful of games last season and caught 18 passes for 234 yards and 3 scores, improving steadily as the year progressed. This season, the junior is the leading returning receiver, and has spent much of the offseason developing a rapport with Hackenberg, who is seeking a new top target. Lewis, a 4-star recruit in 2012, isn't a burner, but he's a big, strong, target with soft hands, and has the range to snag those errant passes that young quarterbacks are prone to. He's also a passable kick returner.
Mitch Mathews, Brigham Young
Like Penn State, the Cougars have a rising quarterback facing a clearout at the receiver position. With school all-time receiving leader Cody Hoffman and 2 other seniors moving on, BYU is losing nearly 55% of its receptions from last season, from those 3 players alone. Replacing Hoffman will be the tallest of orders, but they have a quality option in Mathews, a 6'6 receiver who saw action in 9 games, starting 3, before a shoulder injury cut short his season. Mathews caught 23 passes for 397 yards and 4 TDs, and has the height and ability to catch almost anything thrown his way, a huge advantage when you have the often inaccurate Taysom Hill at quarterback. Despite Mathews' lack of speed, he showed a knack for the big play last season, with 19 of his 23 receptions earning first downs, and 7 catches of 25 yards or more. Mathews won't have to carry the passing game on his own either, with the arrival of UTEP-transfer Jordan Leslie (44-612-7). Mathews won't wow anyone with blazing speed and silky-smooth skills, but he will have his fair share of receptions at the end of the season.
Ronnie Moore, Bowling Green
Like the other teams on this list, the Falcons are losing a couple of their top receivers who accounted for a chunk of receptions. Unlike the other teams on this list, the Falcons are replacing their stars with a 5'9, 164-pound dynamo who can score from anywhere on the field. Last season, Moore played in all 14 games, starting 5, and caught 28 passes for 547 yards and an impressive 7 TDs. A former-high school running back, the freshman also ran for 138 yards on just 14 carries, returned kicks, and took a punt back 49 yards. With a new offensive-minded coach taking over, it will be in Dino Baber's best interest to create as many ways as possible to get the ball in Moore's hands. With fellow freshman star Matt Johnson leading the way at quarterback, this could be a very productive pass-catch combination for the next few years.
Shaq Roland, South Carolina
The Gamecocks may have lost quarterback Connor Shaw and top receiver Bruce Ellington, but they look to be in good shape with Dylan Thompson back. Thompson may be different in style to Shaw, but he's shown enough over the last couple of years to suggest he can carry the team. He'll need to find a new top target though. Step forward Roland, a 4-star recruit back in 2012 who finished strong last year. Firstly though, he's got to make sure he stays on the field. After catching just 5 passes in his freshman year, Roland got off to a slow start in 2013, then was suspended for 3 games midseason. He slowly worked his way back into Steve Spurrier's good books, finishing with 13 receptions over his last 3 games, including 6 receptions for 112 yards against Wisconsin. Roland finished with 28 receptions for 455 yards and 5 TDs, and if he can keep his nose clean, he could be the next star receiver in Columbia.
Jhajuan Seales, Oklahoma State
The Cowboys looked to be in decent shape at receiver for 2014, at least until Josh Stewart declared for the draft. When you include departing seniors Tracy and Charlie Moore (no relation), that's 146 of the team's 280 catches from last season. Seales was the third leading receiver with 39 receptions for 571 yards and 3 TDs, his redshirt freshman year, and has the opportunity to be the guy here. He wasn't highly recruited out of Texas, only receiving alternative offers from non-AQ and FCS schools, despite his obvious skillset. He's a big (6'2) receiver with excellent speed and hands, but he lacked the polish of many of the other receivers. A redshirt gave him the opportunity to work with the Cowboys coaches, and it certainly paid off. Seales started all 13 games last season, and could be poised to join the upper echelon of Big 12 receivers in 2014.

Don't Fall for Man on a Ledge
- Friday, January 27, 2012
Faring best is Edward Burns (27 Dresses) as the cynical Jack Dougherty, trying and failing to supervise Lydia's efforts to bring Nick in off the ledge. Anthony Mackie and William Sadler show up as familiar faces in smaller roles, but the movie never engages any deep emotions—no fear, no excitement and not much sympathy for anyone involved.
Ledge is helmed by a documentarian, Asger Leth (Ghosts of Cite Soleil), and written by Pablo Fenjves, whose previous credits are all TV movies. Say what you will about a flashy action director like Tony Scott (Unstoppable, Déjà Vu), but Man on a Ledge would have benefited from Scott's overheated presentation of standard action material, giving some urgency to its storytelling and some heat to its visual presentation.
Leth's TV-movie past is useful in writing about Man on a Ledge, if only to indicate where this film is best seen: At home, over the air, at no charge. And only if you don't have chores to do, or a nap to take.
If you really need to get out to a movie this weekend, and if Haywire's not your speed, I hear there are some good Oscar-nominated movies now playing.
- Language/Profanity: "Jesus Christ"; "go-dam-"; "a-s"; "s-it"; "son of a b-tch"; the "f" word; "douche"; crude reference to male anatomy; sexual banter between a boyfriend and girlfriend.
- Alcohol/Smoking/Drugs: A woman grabs a champagne bottle and asks a man if he's drunk during the day, and he says he isn't; cigarette smoking; reference to cocaine; a disdainful reference to another man's involvement with drugs.
- Sex/Nudity: Kiss on the cheek; Lydia shown in a tight-fitting night shirt; cleavage; woman shown in her underwear, with most of her backside exposed; some cursing in Spanish; a woman is shown in her bra.
- Violence/Crime: Prisoners fight; gun pointed at guards; gunfire; car chase; explosion; breaking and entering; men are shot; another fight scene.
Religion/Morals: Nick says he's had previous suicidal thoughts; a funeral message speaks of faith in God and faith in one's self; Lydia wears a cross pendant on her necklace.

text: Greetings, We are imploring all people who are going to be doing an A&S demo for their service at the renaissance festival for 2 things. One, if anyone has finished A&S work that they could bring and display along with their A&S project they are working on, we would be eternally grateful. We would like to get as much arts and science displays as possible, to help show the wide range of interests that can be pursued in the SCA. Two, we are asking that if at all possible, some artists either stay till closing or do their three hours of service later in the afternoon. We have had a great turnout in the mornings, but by 3 or 4 in the afternoon we are left with one or two artisans in the compound, and we would very much like to see it full of artisans and displays all day long. I know I said this at populace, but I wanted to pass the word along the list also, to catch those who were unable to attend. Any assistence in these two requests would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. In Service, Marcus Tullus

stun AAA Chiefs
By BARRY BURLESON
Just before kickoff Friday night a group of Marshall Academy students burned a teepee on the hill beside Patriot Field.
In the game to follow, the MA football team scorched big school rival Magnolia Heights 10-6 and improved to 3-0 on the season. It was Marshall's first win over the Chiefs since a 22-8 homecoming victory in 1997.
"The kids were ready to play," said Keith Wicker, in his second season at MA and first as head coach. "We hadn't beaten them in so long, but we realized we could play with them in the first six minutes, and we battled.
"I was very proud of the way our defense stood up. We bent at times but we never broke."
Hunter Bolden spearheaded that defensive effort. He had 12 tackles and two fumble recoveries. Other top Patriots on defense were Justin Gray with nine tackles and Tyler Childers with seven tackles and one fumble recovery. Tyler Sanders preserved the win with an interception in the last 30 seconds of the game.
On offense for the Class AA Patriots, it was quarterback Brent Adams who burned the Class AAA Chiefs. He scored all of the team's points.
First, he booted a 29-yard field goal with 6:20 to go in the second quarter to put MA on top 3-0.
Then his 50-yard touchdown run from the shotgun formation was the game-winner. It came with 10:15 to go in the fourth quarter. He also kicked the extra point.
"Brent (Adams) picked his hole, popped through and broke it," Wicker said about the decisive play.
Adams had 129 yards rushing in the game on 20 carries. Ninety-five of those yards came in the second half. He was four of seven passing for 58 yards.
Magnolia Heights' lone points came on its first possession of the second half. The Chiefs went 69 yards in just four plays. Cameron Lawrence hooked up with Tyler Graves on a 60-yard pass play to the MA 5. Colby Mason scored the touchdown from there. The extra-point try failed.
Marshall's successful night was highlighted by several more big plays on both offense and defense.
The biggest came with under four minutes left in the game. Marshall faced a fourth and one from its own 37-yard line. First, the Patriots lined up and tried to draw the Chiefs offsides. That didn't work, so Coach Wicker called a timeout.
"The players told me, 'Coach, if we're going to win it, we've got to go for it,' " he said. "We ran the same play Brent (Adams) broke for the touchdown. Brent is hard to tackle. We figured we could get 1 yard. It was an easy decision, but one you want to be sure about."
Instead of just 1 yard, Adams gained 21 to the Magnolia Heights 42.
There were other highlights, too.
From the MA 22, the Chiefs went for a first down on a fourth and 11 with 6:47 to go in the first quarter. Quarterback Cameron Lawrence was stopped short by Bolden.
A gutsy Coach Wicker called for a fake punt on the first play of the second quarter, with MA facing a third and four from its own 32. Sanders, the punter, gained 20 yards and a first down and got the Patriots out of a hole.
The Chiefs fumbled a punt and Bolden recovered at the Magnolia Heights' 25. That led to Marshall's field goal.
Adams hooked up with Childers for a 32-yard pass play late in the second half. But Adams' 25-yard field goal try with less than a minute left missed the mark.
Sanders had a booming 52-yard punt in the third quarter that pinned the Chiefs at their own 18.
The visitors' kicker, William Morgan, missed a 28-yard field goal with 14 seconds to go in the third.
Will Thomas and Gray teammed up to cause a fumble early in the fourth quarter which teammate Bolden recovered.
Mason broke a big run for Magnolia Heights midway through the fourth. Childers stripped the ball from him and then recovered the fumble at the Marshall 16.
"That was a big, big key to our win," Coach Wicker said about the defensive play.
Magnolia Heights recovered an MA fumble with 1:27 to go in the game and reached Patriot territory. Then Sanders ignited a huge celebration with his interception.
And one other huge stat for the game – the Patriots were penalized just once for five yards.
"That might be a record for Marshall," Wicker said. "We had our heads straight."
Next up for the Patriots is a crucial district game at Indianola Academy this Friday at 7:30 p.m.. Marshall is 2-0 in the district; the Colonels are 0-1 after a 22-21 loss last week to Lee (Clarksdale). Indianola has non-district wins over Delta and Oak Hill.
"They run a lot of different offensive formations," Wicker said. "We have to be able to adjust defensively. It's a huge game. Indianola is tough. We have to get back down to earth (after last week's win) and get focused."

Doubleheader on Wednesday. Details here.
For your baseball fix, MiLB.com talked with Clint Coulter after Sunday's two-homer, 4RBI game. Here is a link to the article.
"Sandy [Guerrero]'s always saying 'suave,' meaning 'easy,' and Jeremy [Reed]'s always saying 'easy power, let it come easy,'" Coulter said. "Me being a strong guy and an aggressive guy, I want to go get the ball, and that's kind of counterintuitive to what hitting is about. You've got to let it come to you, so I've just been working on staying back and letting it come to me and let my power actually work, which I think is what's been happening lately."

You may be reminded of The Empire Strikes Back. But, for me another movie comes to mind. The Dirty Dozen is one the all-time greatest movies. Today, Mother Nature is Major Reisman as played by Lee Marvin. I am Posey as played by Clint Walker. Our relationship is best dramatized in this scene:

The Opening Day Bobbleheads recreated the speech by Herb Brooks before the game against the Soviets.

The bobbles took it from about the 1:50 mark of the original. There was a sudden inspiration to add a certain bobblehead at the end as Craig Patrick that brought the whole thing together.

Game notes and Game one lineup April 22, 2011
I have not heard anything, so I am guessing that the game one lineup for the doubleheader today is the same as it was last night.

Reggie Keen CF

Mike Walker DH
Greg Hopkins 3B
Tyler Roberts C
Carlos George SS

That being said. The tarp for the field has some damage to it. It leaked a bit.
The Burlington grounds crew was just having a discussion with Aaron Nieckula, the manager of the Bees, about the topic of the infield. Or at least I am guessing that is what they were talking about since they were standing right by it and doing a lot of pointing. I'm pretty sure that Aaron was not regaling them with the tale of him sliding around the infield here when he was the manager of the Cougars and was having an animated discussion with an umpire a couple of years ago.
The condition of the infield may be moot. More rain is scheduled in the forecast…I'm sorry did I say rain? I meant thunderstorms are forecast for 6pm.
Tonight's game notes are here. A few slight changes have been made: RattlersGameNotesApril22
Check back here, @CMehring, @TimberRattlers, or Rattlers Facebook for updates on the game status.
IMMEDIATE UPDATE: It's raining…again. The tarp is going on the field…again. Now, excuse me while I look for a bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken. A live chicken would be too much…today. In a few days, we might have to talk that one through for a bit.
Wherever it is, it is
Dan Merklinger, a Rattler in 2009, started the Arizona Fall League season with the Surprise Rafters. Now, he has channeled Buckaroo Banzai after moving to the Phoenix Desert Dogs.
The Seton Hall alum began the fall with Surprise, but got an opportunity to start more consistently with Phoenix. It was an easy decision to switch teams, especially since it wasn't really made by him."I was basically told by the Brewers and my coaches, and I said fine, I'll just do whatever they want," he said. "I'll play wherever. Wherever it is, it is."Merklinger, who appeared at three levels in the Minors in 2010, joined fellow lefty Brewers prospect Lucas Luetge on the Dogs staff."The Phoenix team was down on pitching and I've been a starter all year, so it was a good opportunity for me to start in the Fall League," he said. "It's different — you're always more comfortable with teammates you've been playing the season with, but I don't have a problem getting along with anyone. Everyone's been real nice and warm here."
For those of you unfamiliar with the Buckaroo Banzai reference…first, I pity you. Second, the quote Wherever it is, it is reminded me of Peter Weller's second best role (behind RoboCop, of course) because he says: No matter where you go, there you are at the start of this scene:
It was the 80's. You could get away with stuff like that. And end credits like this.
By the way, I am still waiting for Buckaroo Banzai Against the World Crime League. I am also still wondering if Jeff Goldblum kept the cowboy outfit after the shooting of the film wrapped.

Exclusive: Many U.S. historians have soft spots for Thomas Jefferson, despite his gross hypocrisy on slavery, and for the Confederates and their supposed gallantry in their fight to preserve slavery. But apologizing for historical racists only invites more racism, warns Robert Parry.
Tag Archive for Tea Party
Selling the Fake IRS 'Scandal'
Despite the Tea Party wallowing in its "victimhood," the evidence now shows no "targeting" of right-wing groups. The IRS also used word searches for "progressive" and "occupy" to weed out political groups seeking tax-exempt status, as ex-CIA analyst Paul R. Pillar notes.
The IRS Non-Scandal 'Scandal'
The IRS "scandal" stampeded Official Washington, including much of the mainstream press which portrayed the Tea Party as the "victim" of partisan abuse. But the dust has finally cleared and it appears there never was a "scandal," just a clunky attempt to achieve bureaucratic consistency, Beverly Bandler reports.
The Right's Dubious Claim to Madison
Special Report: James Madison, so-called "father of the Constitution" and fourth U.S. president, is at the center of a historical debate over what the original intent of the Framers was and whether a strong federal government fits with those principles. The dispute revolves around Madison's shifting alliances, says Robert Parry.
The Tea Party's Legacy of Racism
Exclusive: The American Right demeans racial minorities for playing the victim's role, but today's Tea Party is draped in "victimhood," claiming to be the target of an African-American president and feeling threatened by the nation's demographic shift. But racist fears have always had a home on the Right, says Robert Parry.
Obama's Dangerous Dilemma
Exclusive: Many Americans, particularly the young, are angry over government spying — and are cheering on leakers who release "secret" documents. By taking the "establishment" side of this debate, President Obama risks discrediting government just as it is needed on global warming and other critical issues, writes Robert Parry.
The Other Side of the IRS 'Scandal'
If Occupy Wall Street had a national plan to flood the IRS with illegal claims for tax-exempt status and some IRS clerks had run a search for "occupy," they would probably get a bonus and the story would be Occupy's "criminal conspiracy." But if the search is for "tea party," you have a different "scandal," as William Boardman notes.
Source of Anti-Government Extremism
Exclusive: The Right's hostility to "guv-mint" is not new. It traces back to the South's fears that any activism by the national government, whether building roads or providing disaster relief, would risk federal intervention against slavery and later against segregation, perhaps even the end of white supremacy, reports Robert Parry.
Racism and the American Right
Exclusive: From the start of the Republic to today's Republican ranting against Barack Obama, racism has been a central element of the American Right. But this ugly feature of U.S. history has often come concealed behind words praising traditions, liberty and states' rights, Robert Parry reports.
The Lost 'Trifecta of Scandals'
From CNN to the Washington Post, the mainstream news media is abuzz about "the trifecta of scandals" besetting the Obama administration, a narrative that fails to assess the actual significance of the three "scandals." They don't measure up to the many important scandals that the media neglects, says Beverly Bandler.

With the first Australian Go Congress set for January 2015 in Sydney, look for more activity Down Under in the months ahead. There's a new Melbourne City Go Club, complementing the University and Victorian clubs, meeting on Wednesday evenings. The Perth Go Club has settled down to a fixed location at Tzu Chi Australia, 247 Fitzgerald Street, West Perth, meeting on Saturday afternoons from 1pm. Contact email@example.com if you're in the city and you want to play some go. The Armidale Go Club in northern New South Wales meets every Wednesday at 6pm – more details at the flash new web site. Complete club listings here. And mark your calendars for these upcoming tournaments: July 26-27: 2014 Australian Capital Territory Championships, Australian National University, Canberra; August 17: 10th Korean Ambassador's Cup, Sydney, New South Wales; October 5: 4th Gold Coast Classic, Helensvale, Queensland; December 6-7: 37th Australian Championships, Eastwood (Sydney), New South Wales. Latest events calendar posted here http://www.australiango.asn.au/Events.php. Australia also has an active online scene: David Mitchell 5d of Sydney City Go Club has set up an Australian room on the Online Go Server, and there's an Australian ladder in the OGS Australia Room, as well as on the KGS Go Server. And finally, 13-year-old Aaron Chen has been selected as this year's Australian representative to the Korean Prime Ministers Cup, racking up the largest representative points total after his performance in the 2013 Korean Ambassador's Cup in Sydney. All else being equal, he will be the youngest player ever to represent Australia internationally in a world championship.

The email contact for Robert Cordingley in Go Clubs Online Offering Free Memberships to Celebrate AGA Pairings Software Certification (6/19 EJ) was incorrect; the correct email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
GoClubsOnline (GCOL) is offering six unlimited club memberships to celebrate GCOL's status as the first pairings software to be certified as AGA compliant. To qualify, go clubs must be holding — or plan to hold — tournaments in the near future, says GCOL's Robert Cordingley. The memberships will be free for the first six months. Visit GCOL's Overview web page to learn more about their comprehensive web-based system, including membership management, on-line tournament registration and check-in capabilities. Contact Cordingley at firstname.lastname@example.com to apply or for more information. "When applying, please include some details about the club and tournament plan," adds Cordingley.
The AGA is seeking volunteers to help develop and implement a regular process for pairings certification to expand beyond this first certification. Any interested players or programmers should contact Tournament Coordinator Karoline Burrall Li at firstname.lastname@example.com.
People play go all over the world every day, but Saturday, September 13 will be different. That's the day Go Game Guru is inviting local go organizers to participate in the launch of the first-ever Learn Go Week. "Every Go player knows that stones work better when they work together," says GGG's David Ormerud. "Right now we're all doing our own things, within our own communities. We're spread out thinly, all over the world. But if we work together, we can all be part of something bigger." And while September 13 is the focus of the event, local organizers can also plan an event during the following week. Go Game Guru will support local efforts with adaptable go brochures, posters, checklists and information for running an event, including logistical support, inexpensive go sets, and printable go boards for organizers. While not an official IGF activity, IGF board members expressed support for the idea at last Saturday's IGF meeting. "I think it's a tremendously exciting idea and could be a great publicity opportunity for local chapters and clubs across the United States," said American Go Association president Andy Okun at the World Amateur Go Championship in Korea. World Day events for a wide range of causes and activities have enjoyed various levels of popularity in recent years, generating public and media interest. "The AGA urges participation in Learn Go Week and will support our chapters in their efforts, as well as publicizing participation."

"I said for decades that I did not think I would ever be beaten by a computer playing go," writes Phil Straus 2D in response to Go Spotting: IEEE Spectrum 7/16 EJ. "I was wrong. I was first beaten by a computer program on KGS sometime in the last two years. Laurence Sigmond and I watched Deep Blue beat Garry Kasparov at the Philadelphia Convention Center in 1997. To pass the time between moves we, of course, brought a go board. I showed the go board to Hans Berliner, one of the iconic chess programmers. He looked at it, and just shook his head. He said 'maybe in 20 years.' I was even more pessimistic. Go looked impossible in 1997. We were both wrong."

With the American Go Association committed to establishing parallel AGA ratings for games played on-line, the AGA is seeking volunteers to implement the new system. "This is an exciting and historic development," says Bob Gilman, AGA Director for the Central Region. AGA ratings now are limited to in-person games, and those ratings will not be affected. "This is a great project for an entry-level programmer looking for something to put on their resume," says Andrew Jackson, AGA Operations Vice President, who estimates it will take "a few months of nights and/or weekends for an experienced python programmer." Mentoring is available. Reply here if interested.
Human go players will undoubtedly find the graphic for "Go-bot, Go" annoying, but the article in the July issue of IEEE Spectrum is an excellent exploration of computer go-playing by Jonathan Schaeffer, Martin Müller and Akihiro Kishimoto, who developed Fuego, which in 2009 defeated a world-class human go player in a no-handicap game for the first time in history. In the online version, AIs Have Mastered Chess. Will Go Be Next?, the Schaffer, Muller and Kishimoto explain how "a know-nothing machine that based its decisions on random choices and statistics" triumphed.

"I am tentatively planning to attend the 16th Ibero-American Go Tournament in Quito, Ecuador this October and wonder whether there may be other AGA members who might also be interested in making the trip," Bob Gilman writes. "There is information about the tournament here and a form to indicate interest and get additional information here. If your Spanish is as bad as mine, Google translate can help you understand these pages." Email Gilman at firstname.lastname@example.com if interested.

"At the request of the Cuban Sports Ministry we have started very interesting work in prisons," reports Rafael Torres Miranda of the Academia Cubana de Go. "Hermes Rodriguez 1D is doing a tremendous job teaching go. The inmates have received it very well, have been highly motivated, and have very quickly grasped the techniques of go. The photo here is from the prison in the province of Guantanamo. Such go programs are also being implemented in other facilities." In a related story, two of the three Cuban go players invited to attend this year's US Go Congress (Cuban Delegation Invited to US Go Congress 1/20/2014) have had their applications for US visas rejected, while the third invitee's application is still pending a decision.

The first-ever Australian Go Congress is set for January 25-31, 2015 in Sydney. The new event is timed to coincide with Australia Day on January 26, reports Sang-Dae Hahn, who's chairing the Australian Baduk Organising Committee. "We're definitely looking forward to our first Congress," Australian Go Association vice president Neville Smyth told the E-Journal. Smyth, IGF director for Australia/New Zealand, is in Gyeongjiu, Korea for the World Amateur Go Championship. As at similar congresses in Europe and the U.S., the Australian Go Congress will feature tournaments, simuls with professionals and lessons. The delegation of professionals will be led by An Younggil 8P of the Korean Baduk Association and Go Game Guru. The Congress will be held at Dunmore Lang College, Macquarie University; registration is $200AU ($180 USD) and rooms run A$85 to $98, with hotels also available near the venue.

Iyama Takes Game 5 To Win Honinbo: Iyama Yuta (at right) completed his Honinbo title defense by winning the fifth round to take the title 4-1 over Ida Atsushi in the best-of-seven match. The fifth game was played at the Hotel Hankyu Expo Park in Suita City, Osaka Prefecture on June 30 and July 1. It was a very difficult game featuring attack and counterattack, and the players following the game in the anteroom at the tournament venue had a lot of trouble predicting the moves. The fighting spilled over from the left side into the center and then into the bottom, but eventually came to a peaceful end with Ida (W) capturing some black stones. A tense endgame fight followed, with Ida using up all his time allowance for the first time. Ida had a good position, but on move 198 he missed a move that would have secured him a win by 2.5 or 3.5 points (according to the newspaper commentator, Yo Seiki 7P). Then, on move 212, Ida made a fatal mistake; the move was played in the final minute of byo-yomi after the game recorder had read out 'nine'. In conducting the 30-second byo-yomi, the recorder reads out 'ten seconds,' 'twenty seconds,' then 'one' to 'ten' for the final ten seconds. If he reads out 'ten,' the player loses on time. The move Ida played under this pressure let Iyama upset his lead. Iyama increased his lead after that and was ahead by ten points on the board when Ida resigned on move 247. Click here for Younggil An's game commentary on Go Game Guru.
In winning the Honinbo League, Ida Atsushi added to his budding reputation for deep and accurate reading and fighting ability, but in this title series Iyama showed that he was more than a match for him. This is Iyama's 24th title and he has also maintained his sextuple crown, currently holding six out of seven of the major Japanese go titles (the only one he doesn't currently hold is the Judan). Just to review his record here, he first achieved the sextuple crown when he won the Kisei title in March 2013; he lost the Judan title in the following month, but resumed his sextuple crown when he won the Meijin title in October. He has now kept it for eight months.
Fujisawa Rina Wins First Title: The final of the 1st Aizu Central Hospital Cup Women's Tournament was held at the Konjakutei, a traditional inn, in Higashiyama Hot Spring, Aizu Wakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture on June 26 and 27. Fujisawa Rina 2P (left), playing black, beat Okuda Aya 3P by resignation after 193 moves. This victory will extend the illustrious history of the Fujisawa name in Japanese go; Fujisawa Rina is Fujisawa Shuko's granddaughter. A number of records were set in this tournament. The prize of seven million yen is the biggest for a women's tournament in Japan; the final was the first two-day game in a woman's tournament; at fifteen years nine months, Fujisawa Rin became the youngest woman to win a title in Japan and also the youngest player of either sex to make a sealed move.
Kono Makes Good Start In Gosei Challenge: Kono Rin 9P has made a good start in his challenge for the 39th Gosei title. In the first game, played at the Matsushima Ichi-no-bo hotel in the town of Matsushima in Miyagi Prefecture on June 26, Kono (B) secured a resignation after just 129 moves. After the game, Iyama expressed considerable regret about move 18, a move which seemed to put him on the back foot early in the game. Kono built thickness on the right side and went all out in attack when Iyama invaded. Rather than play negatively and attempt to live small, Iyama also went all out and tried to live on a large scale. However, Kono was able to bring down his group. Kono suffered straight losses in his Gosei challenge last year, so he has already improved on that performance. Iyama suffered his second title-match loss in a row; both games were short, which was perhaps due to Iyama's aggressive play when he fell behind. The second game is scheduled for July 20.
Kisei Leagues: Recent results in the 39th Kisei Leagues are listed below. It may be a little early to talk about leaders, but just for the record there are four players on 2-0: Yamashita Keigo (right) and Kono Rin in the A League and Murakawa Daisuke and Kobayashi Satoru in the B League.
(June 26) (A League) Yamashita 9P (B) beat Takao Shinji Judan by resig.; Yamashiro Hiroshi 9P (B) beat Hane Naoki 9P by 2.5 points; (B League) Kobayashi Satoru 9P (B) beat Cho Chikun, 25th Honinbo, by resig.
(July 3) Cho Riyu (B) beat Cho Chikun by resig.
Yamashita Misses First Chance To Win 39th Meijin League: On 6-2, Yamashita Keigo was two wins clear of the field in the 39th Meijin League, but he missed his first chance to become the challenger when he dropped his seventh-round game to Cho U. The latter is now on 5-2 and will be hoping for Murakawa Daisuke to help him out by beating Yamashita in the final round. If Cho U won his last game, he would qualify for a play-off with Yamashita. At the other end of the league, Ko Iso, who has played all his games and won only two of them, is the first player to lose his place.
Below are results of games played since my last report.
(June 19) Takao Shinji 9P (W) beat Murakawa Daisuke by resig.
(July 3) Cho U 9P (W) beat Yamashita Keigo 9P by 1.5 points; Takao Shinji 9P (B) beat Ko Iso 8P by resig.
Cho Hunhyun: "No shortcuts" to Stronger Play and World Go
"There are no shortcuts" to getting stronger at go, Cho Hunhyun 9P told the E-Journal in an interview during the World Amateur Go Championship in Korea, where he served as chief referee. "You must study hard. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and you must know these and focus your energies accordingly." Considered one of the greatest go players of all time, Cho has played and won more professional games than any player in the world, with nearly 160 titles and 1,900 wins. After giving the signal for games to begin each day at the WAGC, Cho (right), impeccably attired in a crisp gray suit and perfectly adjusted tie, would quietly move about the playing area observing the games. And while he was impressed with some of the play, he says a lot of work remains to be done. "In the past, Japan has put a lot into developing go around the world, as have China and Korea in recent years, but many other countries should put more effort in as well." Cho called the recent development of professional systems in both the United States and Europe "a big step for international go" but acknowledged that cultural barriers remain a challenge. "For example, chess is not very popular or very strong in Korea and it's not easy to change the circumstances or situation, so figuring out how to popularize go in the West is not an easy question." Cho was quietly optimistic, however, noting that "It took us a lot of time to get to where we are now, proving that the time we have invested in world go has not been wasted."

Striving Hard in Brunei: "Go is hardly known at all in Brunei," said Chai Hui Lim, President of the Brunei Darussalam Go Association, on her first visit to the World Amateur Go Championship. "It's a real challenge to get people interested in go but like many other countries we are striving hard to popularize the game," she said. This was Brunei's second year of participation in the WAGC. "I think it's great that so many countries are getting together for an international competition!" said Lim.

2015 WAGC Set for Bangkok; IGF Meeting Highlights: Bangkok has been selected to host next year's World Amateur Go Championship. Thailand's selection, reported at the July 5 International Go Federation Annual General Meeting in Gyeongju, Korea, marks the first time this major event will be held outside the traditional go strongholds of Japan, China and Korea, as part of the IGF's ongoing efforts to internationalize the game. Other IGF meeting highlights included improved IGF finances and successful 2013 events, including the World Amateur Go Championship in Sendai, Japan, the Amateur Pair Go Championship in Tokyo, Japan, and the SportAccord World Mind Games (SAWMG) in Beijing, China. The SAWMG will be held again this year in Beijing from December 11-17, and a brand-new event, the Student Pair Go Championship, is set to take place this October in Tokyo, in conjunction with the standard Pair Go Championship, which this year celebrates the 25th anniversary of Pair Go. Also announced were changes to the IGF Board of Executives. This year will see a rotation of roles from Japan to Korea. The new IGF President will be Seokhyun Hong, previously the Korean Ambassador to the US, taking the reins from Koichiro Matsuura. "I will try my best but my work alone is not enough," said Hong. "We need everyone's input and initiative to bring our plans to a successful creation." Jae-ho Yang, the Secretary General of the Korean Baduk Association, takes up the role of Office Director, carrying on the hard work of Hiroshi Yamashiro and, as previously reported, Yuki Shigeno, the long serving IGF Secretary General, passed the post on to Hajin Lee, the main organizer of this year's WAGC. Norio Wada, the chairman of the Nihon Kiin, will also join the IGF Board of Directors.

EJ, Ranka & IGF Team Up Again: The American Go E-Journal, Ranka and the IGF teamed up again this year to provide comprehensive coverage of the 2014 World Amateur Go Championship in Gyeonjiu, Korea. John Richardson (second from right) contributed illuminating and entertaining game reports, Ivan Vigano (far right) maintained the tournament grid on the Ranka site in virtually real-time and edited the Ranka posts, photographer John Pinkerton (far left) always had the perfect shots for the daily EJ reports, and Chris Garlock (second from left) did game commentaries as well as edited the EJ posts. New IGF Secretary General Hajin Lee (center) not only organized the event, but made sure the team had whatever we needed and even found the time to play some early-morning tennis with the EJ team. Special thanks to Chihyung Nam, Thomas Hsiang, the entire WAGC staff and of course the players themselves, who not only made this such a great event but who were so generous with their time. Finally, James Davies and Michael Redmond were much missed; see you next year in Bangkok! - photo by Yoshitaka Morimoto of the Nihon Ki-in

School kids in Mexico City capped off their year with tourneys in two locations, reports organizer Siddhartha Avila. "We gave the North american Kyu Championship prizes sent by the American Go Association to Valeria Gonzalez and Samuel Suástegui," said Avila. "All the kids received a kanji, made by artist Yuko Kosaka, that conveyed a good wish or thought for their lives. We are thankful to have such wonderful people around us, congrats to all the young go players! Pictures of the event can be seen here. Our final tourney was July 5th, it was organized for the students at Gimnasio de Go and hosted by Templo Budista Eko, the tournament was divided in two brackets, 16-20 kyu and 10-15 kyu.

Chinese Taipei's Yitien Chan won the 2014 World Amateur Go Championship on July 9, narrowly edging out Korea's Taewoong Wei and Ruoran Wang of China. The three were all 7-1, so the winner was decided by SOS (sum of opponents' scores), with Taipei scoring 46 to Korea's 45, and China in third at 43. This is the first time in nearly 30 years that a country other than the "Big Three" – Korea, China and Japan – has won the WAGC; the last time was 1986, when Hong Kong won, and in recent years, Korea and China have dominated. "The most important thing is to have a good mindset," Chan (right) told the E-Journal, explaining the key to his victory. "When the situation is not good, just calm down and find a way out." Past the age at which he could turn pro in Taipei, Chan is in his senior year in college, where he's studying economics. The 2014 WAGC top 10 was filled out by Hong Kong (4th), the Ukraine (5th), the Czech Republic (6th), Russia (7th), Sweden (8th), Japan (9th) and the USA (10th).

Round 7: Early morning fog on the final day of the 2014 World Amateur Go Championship gave way to a clear sky and magnificent views of Lake Bomun. But news of the approach of Typhoon Neoguri left many WAGC players worried about their return flights, and there was turbulent weather on the go board in the 7th round as well, with numerous upsets and even a forfeit. Disappointed by his country's shocking 7-1 loss to Germany in the World Cup semi-final, Brazil's Csaba Deak earned an equally easy win over Azerbaijan when Bahadur Tahirbayov overslept and missed his morning match. Czech Lukas Podpera won comfortably against Japan's Kiko Emura, a bitter result for Emura who was pulling out all stops after his disappointing 8th in last year's tournament. A large Russian group was fatally encircled by China, leaving Dmitry Surin far behind, though the Russian stubbornly played through to the end of his 37-point loss. Korea forced a resignation from the US (click here for the game record) and Chinese Taipei defeated Thailand, leaving the three Asian go giants locked in a tight battle for this year's title. At the end of the 7th round, Korea and Chinese Taipei had the same tiebreak score of 30 with China close behind with 28, which meant that, assuming that these players all won their final games, the overall winner would depend on the results of their previous opponents, so reporters were keeping a close eye not only on the top matches but on other key ones as well.
Other game records: Taipei-Thailand; Australia-Israel
Round 8: In the final round on Wednesday afternoon, Hungarian Pal Balogh had no fear of his Korean opponent, dubbing himself 'Balogh The Great' on his score sheet and launching into the infamous taisha joseki, neither of which impressed Korean powerhouse Taewoong Wei whose solid, powerful play soon forced Balogh's resignation. After being mauled by Korea in the previous round, Jie Liang of the US fared no better at the hands of China (click here for the game record), coming up winless for the day when his time ran out, while Canada's Yongfei Ge could not erase a 10-point deficit against France's Antoine Fenech in the endgame and resigned. Costa Rica's Luis Enrique Boza Araya once again put his money on tengen in one last stab at chalking up his first score, but Azerbaijanian Tahirbayov, rested from his morning's slumber, prevailed. In a tense showdown between Russia and the Ukraine, it was the latter who took control, fending off the Russian incursion into his territory. Mexico developed a winning position against India but Ricardo Quintero Zazueta managed to give away the game to Sonia Shah in a slip under time pressure.
Other Game Records: Russia-China; Hungary-Korea; Singapore-Taipei
Random Notes: Hungary's Pal Balogh uses almost no time on his clock yet he always seems to be up walking around the playing area checking out other games…Though most of the players either dressed casually or wore sports coats, India's Soni Shah brought some welcome sartorial cheer with her colorful saris…No matter how much trouble his stones might be having on the board, eleven-year-old Rafif Shidqi Fitrah always had a bright smile and was clearly enjoying every moment of his time at the tournament…Long after the final game of the tournament had finished, Russia's Dmitry Surin and the Ukraine's Bogdan Zhurakovskyi were deep in a review of their game, a perfect example of the power of go to transcend political turmoil. Shah and Fitrah both won special prizes, as did Nhat Minh Vo of Vietnam and Brazil's Csaba Deak, and Lucian Corlan (Romania) and Tiawattananont Thanapol (Thailand) won this year's Fighting Spirit awards.
