What Matters for Friday, July 29, 2016
Podcast: Play in new window | Download
Stand tall, don't be exploited, let's play ball is just some of what 9th District Congressman Robert Pittenger said in a letter to NBA Commissioner Adam Silver about their pulling the 2017 All Star game out of Charlotte allegedly over HB 2. Congressman Pittenger tells Mark in his initial letter he called out the NBA over their hypocrisy as they continue to hold games in China where there are constant cases of abuse to women, but yet they feel HB 2 is so radically discriminatory they cannot hold a game in our state. Congressman Pittenger also briefly touches on his address to the Veterans of Foreign Wars 117th National Convention this past Tuesday. He says there is a need for greater accountability and transparency at the Department of Veterans Affairs.
Next, Civitas Election Policy Analyst, Susan Myrick, joins us to break down the ruling by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals repealing the Voter Information and Verification Act of 2013. Susan explains though the ruling stated the VIVA laws were adopted with discriminatory intent, the data shows more African-Americans have voted in the state than prior to the laws inception. Susan says this is another attempt by the left to create chaos at the polls. Mark asks about an article Susan penned for Civitas questioning whether the judge hearing the state voter id case
Most extreme, radical and liberal ruling ever handed down is how House Speaker Tim Moore describes the ruling by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals on North Carolina's VIVA laws. Speaker Moore tells Mark the system was wrought with fraud and that is why the very liberal rules were put in place concerning voter id. Speaker Moore says as a member of the legislature who voted for this law, he takes great exception to this allegation that the law was adopted with discriminatory intent. He tells Mark you can be certain this will be sent to the Supreme Court.
In the second hour, Associate Professor of Political Science & Director of the Survey Research Center at High Point University, Dr. Martin J. Kifer, joins Mark. He delves into some of the polling he has been doing throughout the primaries leading up to the conventions. Dr. Kifer says his operating theory at this time is people will be voting like they are registered. This is a fascinating discussion of how voters in North Carolina may act when they head to the polls in November that you will definitely want to listen to and share.
Finally, Mark reminds us why we need to stay vigilant in our support of HB 2 – especially when dealing with bullies like the NBA.
Terrorism Expert and Investigative Management Group CEO Robert Strang, Civitas President Francis De Luca, Brevard Mayor Jimmy Harris and New York Times bestselling author and Director of Jihad Watch Robert Spencer join us Monday.

Winner – 2012 National Cycle Rail Awards
The Ealing Broadway Cycle Hub Designed and Installed by H-B Designs Ltd
Besides its many and varied practical uses, our judges admired the Ealing Broadway Cycle Hub for its aesthetic design, which makes it stand out, yet blend in with the immediate environment.
An emphasis on quality and longevity has made Ealing Broadway Cycle Hub a prominent and popular new facility. It has been crafted with high-grade, long-life sustainable materials, the galvanised steel shelters using post and beam timber frames, and wood is sourced within the UK from managed forests. Wherever possible, materials have been lifted, reclaimed and reused.
The natural environment was given due consideration, taking eight months of planning to design a structure that wouldn't interfere with tree root systems and bespoke grilles were made for individual trees to maximise space while protecting the roots.
The facility's design has been inspired to match the surrounding period architecture, while providing clear, unobstructed views to and from Haven Green and creating more space to improve cyclist and pedestrian movement. In addition, the Hub boasts full lighting and CCTV, a unique cycle parking system and passive surveillance from a variety of sources including local taxi drivers!
Beyond its immediate service to Cycle-Rail passengers, the Ealing Broadway Cycle Hub is already fulfilling its remit to benefit the wider community. Local Haven Green and nearby green spaces have been re-seeded and landscaped, the Hub provides weather protection for waiting taxi passengers and pedestrians and also houses restroom facilities for taxi and bus drivers. Besides the depth of support from a wide cross-section of the community, the Hub can boast some very tangible successes. Cycle theft levels have dropped 32%; pedestrian footfall has risen by 20% and cycle parking usage stands at an impressive 88%, while use of the Brompton Dock is at 50%.

Albert Coke Roth III is as gregarious as he is unpretentious. He's an attorney, a wine connoisseur, a stalwart advocate for the arts and a self-admitted child at heart.
"I have five terrific kids (who range in age from 17 to 42) who are raising me," he joked.
And though his law practice keeps him busy, Roth remains a tireless humanitarian, lending his legal help to numerous nonprofit agencies.
That dedicated volunteerism has earned him a bundle of accolades in the past few decades, including Tri-Citian of the Year in 1987, the Governor's Award for Volunteerism in 1986 and Kennewick's Man of the Year in 1987.
And on Feb. 8, Roth will be honored again by the Academy of Children's Theatre at its annual Heart for the Arts fundraiser.
"We are honoring him for the significant contribution he has made to ACT and dozens of other nonprofit organizations over many years," said Anne Sampson, past president of the ACT board of directors.
Roth is one of those nondiscriminating givers, Sampson added.
"He approaches his nonprofit work the same way a public defender might approach a criminal case -- that everyone deserves good legal advice. He doesn't pick favorite causes or politically correct organizations," she said. "He has been in ACT's corner since we formed 16 years ago, and we count him as one of our most trusted assets."
Paris Rodgers, executive director of ACT, also credits Roth with keeping ACT afloat.
"He donates a ton of legal expertise to help us stay out of the weeds, to help guide our board of directors," Rodgers said. "And he does it all out of the goodness of his heart."
Roth is humbled and honored by ACT's Heart for the Arts honor. But he also is quick to point out that he is just one of many Tri-City lawyers who donate their expertise to nonprofit agencies.
"There are countless (attorneys) out there who work awful hard without any recognition," Roth said. "I am just a spoke in the wheel."
Roth graduated from Moses Lake High School in 1968. He spent four years at the University of Washington and then trained with the Gallo Wine Company in Los Angeles before joining the family business, Roth Distributing Co., in the Tri-Cities in 1973. He eventually became president of the company and in 1989 sold the distributorship. That's when he decided to go to law school.
"I wanted an occupation that offered choices, and law offered me that," he said. "So at age 40, I went (and) enrolled at the University of Puget Sound."
Even though society tends to take punches at attorneys for their sleazy tactics in the courtroom, Roth takes the hype with a grain of salt, claiming the law is still good.
"I'll always do work for nonprofit organizations, and sometimes I charge for it depending on their situation. I have to make a living," he added. "Besides, it's fun for me. Like with ACT, if I can help them feel safe, then I know those volunteers can help teach kids about theater better. And that makes me feel good."
And when Roth isn't giving pro bono aid to nonprofits, he's lending his connoisseur's palate to wine competitions and various festivals.
The Heart for the Arts fundraising banquet is open to the public. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. with a reception and wine and microbrew tasting and silent auction. Dinner is at 7 p.m., followed by the tribute to Roth.
Tickets are $75 and available online at www.academyofchildrenstheatre.org or call 943-6027.

Talk:Alphard (MH)
Sarna News
There are no co-ordinates for this planet. In The Periphery (1692 - Copyright FASA 1996), the map of The Marian Hegemony, clearly shows Alphard as being between Niops and Addhara/Stafford/Suetonius. I noted however that The Periphery (1629 - Copyright FASA 1988) did not include Alphard as part of the Marian Hegemony map, and that the map matched the number of planets (8 on Page 146 - Mapped stars: Addhara, Stafford, Suetonius, Pompey, Baccealieu [Note: this is the spelling on the map in this version, however the e was dropped in the later version], Ballalaba, Algenib and Islington) deemed to be in the Hegemony with Alphard as the capital.
At first I thought that the reference at the top of the page was advising that this planet was the Free Worlds League Alphard, which is just over 60 Light Years away from Solaris.
A version of the Planet program which I downloaded from CBT, shows the co-ordinates for Alphard (FWL) as x -69.58, y -52.42 and for Alphard (MH) as x -499.36, y 120.23. If this is the case, then a number of worlds will need to be updated to reflect the distance between them and Alphard (MH)— The preceding unsigned comment was provided by 188.8.131.52 (talk • contribs) 02:51, 17 September 2009 .

Paid to click or PTC business models have been attracting a lot of attention ever since their inception. This model basically targets people who are looking to earn money from home by directing them to certain advertisements. The PTC model also includes other methods to earn money like completing certain tasks, completing surveys. Shopping, playing games, etc. Neobux is one of the popular PTC websites that has caught on amongst people as an easy way to earn money from the comforts of their home. However, according to the statistics at www.consumerreports.org , there are plenty of fraudulent websites functioning under the guise of PTC to dupe people of their hard earned money. So it is always better to proceed with caution if it sounds too good to be true.
PTC sites more or less function as a middle person between advertisers and customer. Once an ad is clicked, it is necessary to remain on the page for at least ten seconds so that the click is regarded as authentic. The advertisers spend plenty of money to ensure that their customers view their videos or look at their advertisements. Since advertisers cannot approach their customers directly, PTC sites come into play. These advertisers pay PTC websites a particular amount for each view of their particular product showcased on these PTC websites. The PTC websites will display these ads on their websites and employ people to click on these advertisements. The PTC site will offer a share of their earnings to the member based on the number of times the advertisement has been clicked. This encourages the member to click or view as may advertisements as possible in order to increase their earnings.
The Paid to click business model also helps its member earn money via referrals. So, a member you have referred earns around a dollar worth, you will be making almost 50% of that without lifting a finger. This motivates people to refer as many friends and acquaintances as possible to increase the money they are making. Since each PTC site differs in how much it offers its members for clicking on an advertisement, it is best to do a bit of research before committing yourself.
Like all good things, PTC models also come with its own set of cons. According to the experts, the amount paid for a click of an advertisement is considerably very low for you to actually be able to make any real money. The advertisements mislead people into believing that you can actually quit your day job and spend the day clicking on ads in the comfort of your home and not worry about your financial situation. Nothing could be further from the truth. There are also several fraudulent websites that trick gullible people into making payments before making them a member of the PTC sites and then disappearing without a trace. So like anything related to money, it is always best to ask around and do a lot of research before deciding that PTC sites are up your alley.

Latest 'edu-game' taps into internists' competitive side
A new online medical contest is progressing from the diagnosis of minor ailments to cancer screening.
In the five-week Diagnostic Champions' Challenge tournament, from UBM Medica US, healthcare practitioners competed against each other on the company's primary care website ConsultantLive.com, solving sets of multiple-choice diagnostic dilemmas. They were given 60 seconds to solve each question, with points awarded based on level of difficulty. Clinical topics ranged from diagnosing minor bumps and bruises to sexually transmitted infections and dermatologic conditions.
Initially aimed at internists, a new contest is now being designed for oncology professionals. UBM Medica US's Brian Field, EVP/managing director, said the firm will continue to extend the tournament across its products, with the next challenge on the CancerNetwork.com site.
Several firms are tapping into the rising popularity of edu-gaming in medical education. A few years ago, physician site MDLinx launched a feature called The Smartest Doc, a daily quiz with four or five questions on the medical literature, along with a leader board to show where contestants rate against their peers. Scores are based on speed and accuracy. Once physicians see how they placed, the Cleveland Clinic, which signed on to provide content earlier this year, also offers them relevant CME courses.
Other online medical games require healthcare practitioners to match wits against a disease. A game from Stanford Medical School challenges doctors to cure the sepsis bacterial infection. Success at the game, called Septris, requires them to stop the potentially deadly infection early before it progresses to become a systemic attack through quick decision making. Physicians can take a post-game test to earn CME credits from Stanford. Funding for the game was part of Pfizer's three-year, $3 million grant to the school.
UBM Medica US's initial contest culminated with the top physician and non-physician players from the first four weeks competing in the final round. Winners were posted on ConsultantLive.com June 6, the company said.

Isaiah Washington PSA Will Air TonightSteve Marsi at . Comments
The public service announcement from Isaiah Washington regarding the tolerance and acceptance of homosexuals will air tonight during repeats of Grey's Anatomy, the Orlando Sentinel reports.
Here's a quote from the ad Washington recorded on behalf of gay rights groups, which will run during the two-part "Six Days" this evening:
Washington has gone to great lengths to make amends since coming under scrutiny for two incidents in which he referred to his gay co-star, T.R. Knight, by a derogatory slur.
While more people surely would have gotten to hear this positive message during last week's season finale, it's still appropriate for it to air during an episode of Grey's Anatomy and we're pleased that it is.

Francis Bacon's "Three Studies of Lucian Freud" goes for a minor $142.4m at Christie'sNovember 13, 2013
View Gallery
Remember, it was a set of 3. A record was set Tuesday night, when late British painter Francis Bacon's "Three Studies of Lucian Freud" was sold for a whopping $142.4 million at Christie's in NYC, breaking the world record for the most expensive piece of art ever auctioned. Bacon's previous record was $86m, but a work this intimate, painted 25 years after the two artists met, seems to have garnered a little bit more attention from the billionaire set. The piece was painted in 1969.

DEMON CROWN : A SIGMA FORCE NOVEL [large Print]Large Print - 2017/12/05
"Bone-chilling." -Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"One of the best in the series." -Booklist (Starred Review)
To save mankind's future, the members of Sigma Force must make a devil's bargain as they join forces with their most hated enemy to stop an ancient threat in this gripping adventure from #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins.
Off the coast of Brazil, a team of scientists discovers a horror like no other, an island where all life has been eradicated, consumed, and possessed by a species beyond imagination. Before they can report their discovery, a mysterious agency attacks the group, killing them all, save one: an entomologist, an expert on venomous creatures, Professor Ken Matsui from Cornell University.
Strangest of all, this inexplicable threat traces back to a terrifying secret buried a century ago beneath the National Mall: a cache of bones preserved in amber. The artifact was hidden away by a cabal of scientists--led by Alexander Graham Bell--to protect humankind. But they dared not destroy it, for the object also holds an astonishing promise for the future: the very secret of life after death.
Yet nothing stays buried forever. An ancient horror-- dormant in the marrow of those preserved bones--is free once more, nursed and developed into a weapon of incalculable strength and malignancy, ready to wreak havoc on an unsuspecting world.
To stop its spread, Commander Grayson Pierce of Sigma Force must survive a direct attack on the island of Maui. To be there first has always been the core mission of Sigma Force, a covert team forged to be America's front line against emerging threats. But this time, even Sigma may not be able to decipher the deadly mystery, one that traces back to the founding of the Smithsonian Institution.
With each new discovery, the menace they hunt is changing, growing, spreading--adapting and surviving every attempt to stop it from reconquering a world it once ruled. And each transformation makes it stronger . . . and smarter.
Running out of time and options, Commander Grayson Pierce will be forced to make an impossible choice. To eradicate this extinction-level threat and expose those involved, he will have to join forces with Sigma's greatest enemy--the newly resurrected Guild--even it if means sacrificing one of his own.

Thank You!
Your votes and comments encourage our guide authors to continue
creating helpful guides for the League of Legends community.
Sion Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
First, English isn't my first language so it is possible(surely) that they will be a lot of mistake in my text, please forgive me. If you have some questions, just ask, I'll try my best to give the best possible answer.
Now, the main part of the build, how to play and build a DPS Sion.
First, you need to take advantage of all what Sion is offering you. You have a 2 seconds stun who could be launch from close range. You have a shield that absorb part of the damage, who could also transform you in a living bomb. You also have an awesome passive which give an additional Attack Damage. And finally, a great ultimate that provide you lifesteal, attack speed and "healing" for close allies.
I'll explain every of the build, skill, item, masteries, runes, summoners spell, then, I'll give you some tactics and strategy to play him well and own all of them one by one.
Cryptic Gaze
An awesome stun, which can be use as a fleeing spell, or engaging one. Want to gank an enemy, get him from behind and stun him. Hit him twice then back. An annoying Xin Zhao chasing you? Stun him! I think there no more to be say, stun is stun, if you don't know how to generally use a stun, read a guide about league of legends, not a speficic champion.
Death's Caress
The most "useless" skill you have. It will be good in late game to run in a gank, preventing to receive damage at the beginning, and if well played, allowing you to regen your health when casting it, because you won't take any damage for a short time, allowing you to attack and fully regen your health with your lifesteal.
Quite simple, additional Attack Damage. That will prevent you to tickle them in early, allowing you to buy some "more usefull" items. But also, this will give you additionnal health when you'll be killing minion, making you harder to kill for sure.
And there it is, the ultimate. I provide you some additional lifesteal and Attack Speed. Nothing to explain there, you all know what this is doing. The third effect is also interresting. Half of the additional lifesteal will also be giv to close allies. What does it mean? You hit a minion for 100 damage. You have 50% lifesteal. You'll regen 50 health, and all surronding allies will receive 25 health. 50/25 health is quite few, but in late game, with 100% lifesteal and 800 damage, it's something different.
Brawler's Gloves
Simple, an additional 8% critical (30%). Costing 400 golds, it is also allowing you to buy the next two item, 1 health potion and 1 mana potion. Use your potion wisely. Plan what you'll be doing in 1/3/10 seconds. Will you need to stun him to get the first blood? Will you need to cast your shield after luring them, then stuning them? Use your potion wisely, that's all what I could say. Stuning them cost you 100 mana, you start with 200, you could not stun indefinatly.
Executioner's Calling
Survivability, that's all. That provide you 18% lifesteal and 15% critical. With your masteries and runes, you'll reach 37% critical after something like 5-10 minutes depending of how much kill(s) you get.
Mercury's Treads
You're now heading for your boots. Mercury's Treads are goods for Sion because Sion need to attack to be powerfull. The less he get stun, the more he'll kill, The more he get stun, the more he'll die. Simple, but base of everything with DPS Sion. If the other team dont have any CC or just one, feel free to buy Boots of Swiftness. I don't recommand Berserker's Greaves, but I don't want to change your game style, simply guiding you.
Infinity Edge
The real build start. After this item, nothing you'll stop you. Dealing 250% damage(around 450) on critical (57%). Pick your cloak of agility first, even if you get enough gold when you're backing for B.F. Sword. 18% critical(55%) is almost as effective as gaining 50 damage because the bonus you'll get by criting more often will be comparable to 50 damage on every hits, but in cost only 880 instead of 1850.
Phantom Dancer
Start with Cloak of Agility. 18% additional critical chance (75%). Then go with Zeal and finally dagger. You'll reach 87% critical chance, 40% attack speed(around 1.000 attack speed), 15% movement and 20% dodge. Why dodge? Rush them and don't care about your health. When your ultimate is on, and you got no CC or few one(remember cleanse?) , you'll kill them one by one with a good use of your shield and by focusing the good enemy.
The Bloodthirster
Okay, you own when you have your ultimate, but when it is on cooldown, it's just a little bit harder. Buy a bloodthirster for sure. Why? 60 Attack Damage and 15% Lifesteal I'll answer you. 60 Damage * 250% (critical damage 87% of the time) = 150 additional damage. Combine this with lifesteal, you'll be able to 2-3 shots a lot of champ. Stun, hit, hit, dead. He don't even attack you during this time.
Sixth item?
You rarely be able to buy this item, but here are some item that could be good.
Youmuu's Ghostblade (the additional critical you need for getting 100% and adding damage)
Bloodthirster (For even more rampage)
Sword of the Divine (for an annoying Jax)
Phantom Dancer (reach 100% critical chance, attacking faster, running faster, and dodging more)
Last whispers (Fighting against Rammus or Malphite who are stacking armor)
Summonner's Spell
Cleanse and Exhaust are my choice. Why?
Cleanse allow you to don't be stop by CC, use it wisely, Rammus taunt you? Except if you really need to attack another one, don't waste it, Rammus will regret to have taunt you. Except if you really think you'll survive after a stun, always use it when you're stun, you need to attack to survive.
Exhaust allow you to stun a CC while Yi miss you on each hit. You see which kind of think you could do. Stun the annoying one and exhaust the DPS, kill the CC first, then the DPS. Result, a double kill with almost all your life.
Other good choice
Help you to flee in early when you're easier to kill, to jump in a fight, or chase a fleeing enemy.
Early game
You have 200 mana. Your stun cost 100. Use it wisely! Wait for Fiddle to drain, then stun and attack. Try to get the first blood, but don't give it to them. At level 2, activate Enrage and never desactivate it. The bonus damage it gives you will give you more lifesteal, giving you back the cost to use the spell (12 health by hit if my memory is good)
Mid game
You're a good ganker. Your stun give your allies the necessary time to kill the enemy. At this point, you'll have 37% or 55% of critical, so you could deal a lot of damage, do not just stun.
Late game
ALWAYS be in teamfight, your ultimate is too awesome in teamfight to waste it. If there is a lot of CC, let the tank go first, a stun Sion is useless. If they have 0 or 1 CC, rush with your shield, activate your ultimate, and attack. Getting stun? Cleanse. Getting attack by a DPS, use exhaust. When there is no more CC to kill, focus DPS.
Good laning partner
Any good early champs, any stunner, any healer.
Bad laning partner
Every other carry, any squishy champ who will be focus first, leaving you alone after he die. A squishy champ, who isn't so squishy could be awesome, because they'll focus him, but won't be able to kill him. During this time, you attack one of them, and stunning to lowest one in HP to finish him.
Ending words
This is my first build ever, and English isn't my main language, so don't be to much severe. If you have any questions, suggestions or comments, you're welcome. Please don't rate it without commenting.

Verizon bids to improve its infrastructure with
next-generation fiber platform
Verizon, Corning agree to $1.05bn fiber deal
NEW YORK, April 19, 2017
Verizon Communications has agreed to buy optical fiber from Corning over the next three years with a minimum purchase commitment of $1.05 billion as the top US wireless provider aims to improve its broadband network.
The agreement calls for Corning to provide and Verizon to purchase up to 20 million km (12.4 million miles) of optical fiber each year from 2018 through 2020.
Verizon has been reinventing its network architecture around a next-generation fiber platform that will support all of the company's businesses. This new architecture is designed to improve Verizon's 4G LTE coverage, speed the deployment of 5G, and deliver high-speed broadband to homes and businesses of all sizes.
Roger Gurnani, Verizon's chief information and technology architect, said: "Corning's unique combination of capabilities delivers solutions that provide us with performance and cost advantages as we continue to expand our network coverage and capacity."
In an initial deployment, Verizon launched One Fiber in Boston in 2016 and plans to invest $300 million over six years to deploy it throughout the city.
Viju Menon, Verizon's chief supply chain officer, said: "Our plans identified a shortfall in fiber supply, and Verizon has been working with business teams to forecast demand and fill supply gaps with existing suppliers. Securing the required volume of optical fiber and hardware solutions with Corning will ensure we meet our planned rollout schedules."
Clark Kinlin, executive vice president, Corning Incorporated, said: "We are pleased that Verizon recognizes the value of Corning's innovative solutions in deploying next-generation converged optical infrastructure, such as One Fiber, more quickly and cost effectively. Verizon's purchase commitment supports necessary capacity investments across our manufacturing footprint."
Over the past several months, Corning has announced plans to expand capacity and to invest more than $250 million in its optical fiber, cable and solutions manufacturing facilities to help meet the demand of its global carrier and enterprise customers. Corning expects these capacity expansions to begin to come online in 2017 and become fully operational in 2018. – TradeArabia News Service

which contains almost all the material in the course, is beautifully written, and is highly recommended. Copies are available to purchase in Blackwells, and to borrow from the JRUL. For an alternative view, try
Micheal O'Searcoid, Metric Spaces, Springer 2006.

Design Darling tassel earrings (sold out) // // Bling Bling crystal flower bracelet
MAC lipstick in Asian Flower with Pink Nouveau on top // Essie polish in "go ginza"
This has to be one of my favorite outfits I've worn this summer! This white crop top is a serious statement-maker. I love the off-the-shoulder sleeves and the flowiness of it. You don't have to try too hard to add a little glam to this top - I added tassel earrings, sunnies and some statement heels for an easy, breezy summer look.
Check out some similar versions of this top below! Also, don't forget about the Nordstrom Early Access Anniversary Sale going on - you can shop my favorites here!

Some social media users said something stronger than "cowabunga" after they saw a new poster for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reboot.
An Australian poster for the film, opening next month in the U.S., features the four heroes bounding off of a skyscraper exploding behind them. The image brought to mind the crumbling Twin Towers on 9/11. What made the connection worse was the film's Australian release date printed at the bottom of the poster–Sept. 11, 2014.
Paramount, the studio behind the project, used its Australian twitter feed to share the image. The studio quickly yanked the tweet after a chorus of disapproval rang out across the digital landscape.
It's not the first time a movie poster's ties to 9/11 caused a problem. An early poster for the 2002 film Spider-Man featured the web slinger posing between the Twin Towers. That ad campaign, too, was scrapped.

About Jacob Ouillette
Jacob Ouillette conceives of his paintings as musical compositions. Entranced by the possibilities of color, Ouillette, who hand mixes his own pigments, explores its simultaneously scientific and subjective nature. Channeling the act of live performance, he applies each colorful stroke in one motion, working from left to right and making no revisions. He does not draw his compositions beforehand, cautious of distracting the viewer from his gridded hues. The multicolored results are like visualizations of combinable, permutable sounds: just as some notes are loud and others are soft, some colors are bright and others dark. "When the brushstroke bends, swoops, dips, swings, sings, and vibrates, to me it could be blasting out of a harmonica, saxophone, or an electric guitar," says the artist.
American, b. 1974

SUPERBELLS® Frostfire unique colors make both monoculture and combinations plantings outstanding.
We spoke with Four Star Director of Growing Operations Dennis Crum about growing the new Superbells® variety – Frostfire. This unusual but beautiful plant made its debut this season and he predicts it will be a great addition to a growers' mix because of its ease of growing and attractive looks.
"Frostfire finishes nice in a Grande™ container from a 42 liner and has shown moderate vigor, good shape and form, thick and full growth, and heavy flower coverage," Crum explains. "It has smaller leaves but grows well."
As with most Calibrachoa, Frostfire does best when it can avoid wet, cool, low light conditions. Overall, it's a great plant to grow, he says. "I haven't seen any production problems with it, and haven't heard of any problems either."
"But what makes this plant especially nice is that it is a different looking plant that stands out as a 10-in. hanging basket or in combinations. The color is really great – kind of a creamy white with yellow and red showing. This stands out well in combinations because it isn't a brighter white or a soft yellow, but has this mix of colors. It looks really good in combinations using blues, reds and pinks," he adds.

Unmanaged tags represent a potential risk, as marketers rely on the data they collect to gather rich information about visitors, and use it to improve their browsing experience. Unmanaged tags can make it difficult to control the exchange of potentially sensitive information, and may not always comply with the latest privacy protection standards and regulations. Tealium iQ supports geographic based privacy compliance, and enables enterprises to become instantly e-privacy compliant on a global scale in minutes.
The Tealium iQ privacy widget provides control and flexibility for offering opt-in or opt-out choices to your online visitors. Use the Tealium iQ privacy widget to give site visitors total control over which tags or cookies they want to accept while they visit your site.
Have a global web presence? Some countries have very specific laws for what information enterprises can collect about their online visitors, and what sort of choices must be allowed. This can be a headache for digital marketers who have dozens of tags collecting data, all of which must be compliant with local in-country privacy regulations. Tealium iQ supports geographic based privacy compliance, allowing organizations to apply standards by country and giving precise control over the data collection practices of each vendor.
Your data is gold, and tag vendors want to get their hands on it. Tealium iQ lets you control which vendors get access to your data. Some third-party vendors collect sensitive data that you may not have authorized, and often times you aren't sure how that data is being used, or shared. Tealium iQ keeps you in the loop, allowing you to audit the data collection practices of each vendor tag, and control the data collected. Alongside controlling online vendors, Tealium iQ offers insight into how tags are operating—from page location to internal ownership—on all of your web pages.
One of the biggest challenges in the enterprise is trying to standardize digital data definitions across vendors. Most online vendors collect and define data based on their own unique syntax. Tealium iQ lets you define the data once, and the data is automatically standardized across your digital vendors. This removes the limitations of only exposing data to vendors in their nomenclature, and makes it easy to correlate the data from different tags into an actionable source.
Tealium supports the Do Not Track (DNT) feature within new browsers, so that even if your digital marketing vendors do not support this mechanism, you will still be in control.

Under-eight teams will be stopped from taking part in knockout tournaments where cups and medals can be won, and no results will be publicised for any matches.
Junior teams across Britain will have to adopt the new policy from the start of the 2008/9 season in September.
It means that managers will no longer be able to publish the under-eight league results, tables and cup competition score lines in the local paper, or pin them up on notice boards in the clubhouse.
The FA hopes the policy will protect young players from the demands of competitive parents.
However Kevin Warrington, who managed an under-eight side in Hampshire last season, the Townhill Emperors, said: "It is a step backwards.
"The league is established and has become a good introduction to football for kids and people know what they are getting into.
"If you look at our results last year we only won one game and we lost one of our first games 21-0.
"But the boys were playing together as a team, they were making new friends and enjoying the environment in which they were doing that. They didn't care if they lost."
The ruling has attracted criticism from parents who said that playing the game competitively teaches children vital skills in how to cope with winning and losing.
A parent of one of the Townhill players said: "It is no surprise England failed to reach Euro 2008 with the FA having this attitude.
"Kids need to realise that winning is great and losing is awful but can make you better.
"This is why England struggle in sports. Unfortunately with all sports there is a winner and a loser. Much like all life."
But a spokesman for the FA said that they do not want the children to take the game so seriously until they are over eight-years-old.
He said: "The ruling is not aimed to stop competitive football because any match between two teams will be competitive.
"But this is about creating an environment where the children can learn and develop their skills and enjoy the game without the pressure of having to get a result and being concerned with three points for winning, and the fact that someone has to win and someone has to lose.
"They can start taking it a little more seriously as they get older."

The Enumclaw volleyball squad split a pair of nonleague contests, losing to White River at EHS and dominating Mount Rainier on the road in three straight sets, making its overall record 1-1.
Against a vastly more experienced White River rival, the frazzled and younger Enumclaw crew took awhile to get over a bad case of jangled nerves. Before Enumclaw knew what had hit them, their backs were against the wall heading into the fourth match, behind two games to one.
In the deciding match No. 4 White River bolted to a 24-19 advantage, before Enumclaw finally snapped out of it, battling back to a 24-24 deadlock.
It was too little too late as the match went to a sizzling Buckley bunch, with the predominantly senior White River faction taking three out of four matches winning 25-19, 25-20 and 27-24, and losing 25-13.
Playing against its Plateau rival, Enumclaw's captain and senior hitter HayleeMae Dennis was seemingly omnipresent on the court, managing 23 digs and 22 kills. Meanwhile EHS junior defensive specialist Olivia Bannerot chipped in with 15 digs.
It was a brief but successful road trip two days later when Enumclaw visited Mount Rainier and stopped the Rams in three consecutive contests. Against MRHS, Dennis went on another killing spree with 17 super spikes in the trio of tilts and junior middle hitter Molly Lamotte managed two stuff blocks.
After finishing fifth out of 32 teams in Yakima's Sundome tournament, Enumclaw will go on to open its SPSL 3A campaign Sept. 22 at Decatur at 7 p.m.

After this training day museums will be able to apply for a grant to further their vision and business plan work of up to £800, or £1200 if eligible for the higher level.
Previous participants of similar days with Sam Hunt have said
"Sam clearly had lots of experience & importantly understood the range of museums and their needs"
"Very useful. Gave me a better framework to work within and identified potential sticking points for my museum and possible solutions"
Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
Bookings are closed for this event.


text: DigitalMicrosoft Gives Up On KinBy Frank McPherson|June 30, 2010ShareBy Frank McPherson|June 30, 2010ShareJust three months after Microsoft announced the Kin phones, Microsoft has decided to halt their plans of selling them in Europe and is merging the Kin team into the Windows Phone 7 team. Existing inventory will probably continue to be sold by Verizon at low, low prices, but it is likely Microsoft won't release any updates for existing phones, and one has to wonder how long they will maintain the Kin Studio, which provides web access to the data from Kin phones that is stored on Microsoft's servers.The phones have received lukewarm reviews from technology web sites, and there has been reports that the phones have not sold very well. Despite the problems, it is surprising that Microsoft is so quickly killing the phones, and the whole episode has been a very expensive failure. The genesis of the Kin phones is the February 2008 acquisition of Danger, which Om Malik reported cost Microsoft $500 million. Several millions of dollars must have been spent by Microsoft in developing Kin, not to mention the partnership with Sharp and Verizon, to whom Microsoft might even have to pay a penalty to escape their contract.Microsoft's acquisition of Danger has never made sense to me. Microsoft gave no indication that it was going to replace Windows Mobile with Sidekick, which is the phone and operating system that Danger developed. My belief is that the Kin has mostly been an attempt to gain some return on Microsoft's investment in purchasing Danger. We now know that Windows Phone 7 looks nothing like Sidekick, and as far as I know the only existing Microsoft product that has any ties back to the acquisition is My Phone. My Phone is a service that backs up Windows Mobile phones and provides web access to your contacts and text messages, and Microsoft does not charge to use the service. Hopefully Microsoft makes a version of Kin Studio work with Windows Phone 7.On one hand it is good thing that Microsoft made the decision to cut their losses with Kin, but on the other hand I feel bad for the people who probably gave up a good part of their life to develop Kin. While one can debate whether the UI and the phone experience was good or bad, in my opinion the technology is not what has killed Kin, that was done by very high monthly costs of using the phone. The programmers and designers that made Kin are not responsible for the decisions made by their bosses. Sharehttp://adweek.it/2keCkWT copy Adweek Adweek
