Dissertation/Monograph Philosophy
The Doctoral Dissertation is an original empirical
study that makes a significant contribution to
the field. It should expand the existing knowledge
and demonstrate the student's knowledge of both
research methods and a mastery of his or her primary
area of interest. Dissertations should be rigorously
investigated, uphold the ethics and standard of
the field, demonstrate an understanding of the
relationship between the primary area of interest
and the broader field of business, and be prepared
for publication in an academic journal.
Philosophy of the Proposal
The dissertation proposal demonstrates the student's
knowledge of and ability to conduct the proposed
research. The proposal should consists of the following:
(a) the context and background surrounding a particular
research problem; (b) an exhaustive survey and
review of literature related to the problem; and
(c) a detailed methodological plan for investigating
the problem. The proposal should be completed and
approved no more than one year after completing
coursework. Upon approval, a timeline for completing
the investigation and writing process will be established.
Criterion for Passing the Dissertation
and the Defense.
The Committee will evaluate the student's ability
to express verbally his or her research question,
methodological approach, primary findings, and implications.
The Committee will vote to pass or fail the dissertation
and the defense at the conclusion of the public presentation.
Dissertation Defense Scheduling
Students who are preparing to defend their dissertation
should confirm a time and date with their Dissertation
Advisory Committee and register with the Graduate
Secretary at least 15 days before the defense is

Downtown's Brinkley Plaza has sold for $7.2 million to a Canadian real estate investment firm.
Montreal-based Olymbec USA LLC, an entity of Olymbec Corporate Group, acquired the 219,557-square-foot tower at 80 Monroe Ave., its ground lease and the adjacent 300-space covered parking garage.
Richard Stern, president of Olymbec, said his firm pulled the trigger because it was "an opportunistic purchase."
"We feel that it's in a market that's probably on its way up at this point," Stern said. "We think that we're buying it at the right time, and we're also taking advantage of the high Canadian dollar against the American dollar."
Built in 1923, Brinkley Plaza is a Class B, 10-story office building that sits on 0.66 acres at the corner of Monroe and South Main Street. The Shelby County Assessor of Property's 2012 appraisal is $4.4 million.
Olymbec bought the asset from a partnership made up of entities related to local commercial real estate groups CB Richard Ellis Memphis and Loeb Properties Inc. CBRE's Johnny Lamberson, executive vice president and Terry Radford, senior brokerage analyst, represented the seller.
Earl Williams Jr., senior vice president with Loeb Realty Co. Inc., signed the deed as the managing partner of Sanderlin Place, which held two-thirds ownership of Brinkley Plaza. Williams is chief operating officer and chief financial officer of Loeb Properties.
J. Kevin Adams, CEO of CBRE Memphis, signed the deed as managing partner of Brinkley Plaza II Partnership, which held one-third ownership of the office tower.
Sanderlin Place and Brinkley Plaza II Partnership bought Brinkley Plaza in 2003 for $6 million.
Although the office high-rise is currently 60 percent occupied, Stern is bullish that Brinkley Plaza can "easily" achieve the average office occupancy rate of 80 percent.
"We'll be able to do that because of our well-below replacement purchase price that we've made on it and maybe even below market price for comparable buildings," Stern said. "We'll be able to discount the rental rates enough to draw people into our property."
CBRE Memphis will continue to lease and manage Brinkley Plaza. The current asking rate is $14.50 to $15.50 per square foot, and is marketed as the "best office value in Memphis."
Stern touted the "substantial capital improvements" Brinkley Plaza has received lately, including a $1 million upgraded elevator system. He's also optimistic about Downtown's heightened activity.
"A lot of hotels, restaurants, stores and services have continued to open up Downtown, making it more attractive for people to work, live and play," Stern said. "We're counting on that momentum to continue."
Brinkley Plaza marks Olymbec's third Memphis acquisition in two years and first office endeavor. The acquisition brings the firm's total Memphis portfolio to nearly 2 million square feet.
The family-run, private real estate investment firm entered the Memphis market in 2004 with its purchase of a 500,000-square-foot distribution center in Southaven at 8800 Rostin Road. The facility is currently occupied by Terex Corp., a heavy equipment company.
In February 2011, Olymbec bought the 1.1 million-square-foot Space Center portfolio at 3051-3133 Tranquility Drive from Trammel Crow Co. for $7.3 million.
And this past July, Olymbec purchased a 157,000-square-foot, Class C industrial warehouse at 3615 Lamar Ave. from an entity affiliated with Miami-based loan servicer LNR Partners LLC for $1.5 million.
Olymbec's portfolio includes more than 200 properties, the majority of which are in Quebec. The firm specializes in buying distressed properties, renovating and filling the space, and seeking long-term financing.
Olymbec is also active in the U.S. in Texas and Nevada.
Stern said Olymbec will continue to pursue more opportunities to buy in Memphis, both on the industrial and office front.
"We are actively looking and working on deals as we speak," he said.

There will be more financial crises in the future, because, well, history.
Leaders dealing with those crises will no doubt look at the US financial crisis in 2008-2009, and the actions taken by Treasury Secretary.
So the outgoing comments of Tim Geithner will be crucial historical texts.
Part of that required reading forms today, as both The Economist and WSJ have published exit interviews with Geithner.
On the issue of the bank bailouts, two comments will be critical for future Treasury Secretaries or Finance Ministers.
First, people will always hate bank bailouts, he told WSJ:
There's no explanation powerful enough to soften the inevitable fear and anger and resentment that's going to come with a crisis that did so much damage to the innocent. .... The paradox is that the things that are ultimately just in terms of making sure you can protect the average person from a failing system require you to do things that are going to look deeply unfair and unjust because you have to try to make sure to prevent a collapse. You look like you're giving aid to the arsonist.
But that's not an excuse for inaction, and you can't get paralyzed by the notion that bailouts create moral hazard.
Mr Geithner readily admits that his interventions have bred moral hazard, but says holding off for that reason worsens a crisis and requires even bigger interventions later. "You will end up having to socialise much more risk and [create] much more future moral hazard," he says. "You have to design the crisis response to mitigate moral hazard to the extent you can, and then change the rules of the game going forward to undo some of the damage you've caused." Hence the Dodd-Frank banking reforms. The law became maddeningly long and complex in its passage through Congress. But it retains the features Mr Geithner considers crucial. It creates a mechanism for seizing and winding down big failing firms while limiting the government's discretion to keep them as going concerns. By reinforcing capital and liquidity buffers throughout the financial system, the law allows policymakers to be almost "indifferent about contagion caused by one institution".
So yes, people are going to hate you. But the longer you wait, the bigger your bailout is going to be.

SACRAMENTO – Caltrans and the San Bernardino Associated Governments (SBAG) announced today that Colton Crossing, a project that will unlock delays at a major rail crossing in Southern California, has been delivered significantly under budget and ahead of schedule.
Original estimates calculated the project would cost about $202 million and be finished in 2014. Thanks to cooperation between Caltrans and SBAG, innovative construction methods, and a competitive marketplace that resulted in much lower bids than expected, the project wrapped up eight months ahead of schedule for $93 million.
"Not only will this project improve safety and reliability for passenger and freight trains, it will also improve air quality and reduce congestion on the streets and highways of the Inland Empire," said Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty.
Transportation officials estimate the project will deliver $241 million in travel time savings and reduce greenhouse gas emissions 34,000 tons annually.
Colton Crossing was first constructed in 1883, and nearly 130 years later virtually all trains entering or leaving Southern California use the at-grade rail-to-rail crossing, which was a major cause of congestion on commuter and freight rail lines.
A new elevated 1.4-mile-long overpass has now removed the chokepoint that existed where the Burlington Northern Santa Fe mainline crossed Union Pacific Railway tracks in Colton. Putting the UP tracks above the BNSF line allows both railroads to use the tracks safely and eliminate waits as crossing trains pass.
The need to separate this historical crossing was crucial not only to California's economy, but to the nation's as well. Nearly half of all U.S. imports flow through California ports and travel by trucks and trains across the state to the rest of the nation. The amount of cargo handled at the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach is expected to more than double by 2020.The project was a partnership between Caltrans, SBAC, the city of Colton, UP, and BNSF Railway. Funding was provided by state and federal sources, including $34 million from the Recovery Act and $41 million from Proposition 1B, a 2006 voter-approved transportation bond. To date, more than $16 billion in Proposition 1B funds have been put to work statewide. The remaining funding was provided by UP and BNSF.

It's understandable that minus last season's four D-I players — Tyler Brenneman (Notre Dame), Austin Heneveld (Navy), Ryan Shaw (Providence), and Jake Beyer (Mercer) — not to mention James Petrie, the high-scorer in 2010, and Rob Aaronson, a very good defender — East Hampton High School's boys lacrosse team finds itself in a more difficult position this spring. No longer can Bonac fans sit back, relax, and watch the midfielders and attackmen take it to the opposition.
But while this is a new group, there is enough firepower and defensive clout to persuade the head coach, Mike Vitulli, and his assistant, Owen McCormack, that the playoffs are not out of the question.
"We've just got to get over the hump," Vitulli said during a conversation over the weekend. "We can't settle for 10-9 losses."
As of Monday, Bonac had lost two of its first four games by that score, its opener at Hauppauge on March 26 and Friday's game at William Floyd. Last Thursday, in miserable weather (cold rain and biting wind), East Hampton fared miserably in a home game with Harborfields, which won 13-6. Going into Tuesday's game here with Shoreham-Wading River, one of the top teams in Division II, whose junior midfielder, Trevor Bosco, was picked by Newsday as a "player to watch," East Hampton was at the bottom of the power-rated division at 0-2, and was 1-3 over all.
By contrast, this could be the year for East Hampton's girls, who have never had a winning season, and who lost only one starter to graduation. Matt Maloney's team was 1-1 in divisional play as of Monday and 1-2 over all.
The girls lost 10-8 to Rocky Point here Friday, but it must be remembered that Rocky Point is the defending county Class B champion.
Four of Rocky Point's six goals in the first half were the result of eight-meter shots awarded following penalty calls assessed East Hampton defenders. Conversely, East Hampton converted only one of the eight 8-meter shots it was awarded during the course of the game.
"You're supposed to make 50 percent of those shots," Maloney said afterward, adding that "Rocky Point's a fast team, among the top three in the county. We had a game plan, but we couldn't capitalize."
Trailing 9-2 at one point in the second half, "the girls never quit. We had a couple of chances at the end, but their goalie made some nice saves."
Meanwhile, said Maloney, it seemed that Allison Charde, the third-year junior who tends Bonac's goal, made 20 saves, though she was credited with nine. "A couple of the saves she made kept us in the game," he said, "and she's clearing the ball real well now."
Of the 13-7 win at Islip, Maloney said, "We came out strong, controlled the draws, possessed the ball, and ate some time off the clock. We were up 7-2 at the half."
The scoring has been spread out among Kelsi Thorsen (who had four goals in the Islip game), Maggie Pizzo (who had three), Kirsten Brierley, Erica Silich, the Seekamps, Amanda and Carley, and Melanie Mackin. Though Mackin went down with a sprained left ankle in the first half of the Rocky Point game and is expected to miss some time.
Thorsen and Brierley, both senior midfielders, are the team's co-captains.
Back to the boys, Vitulli said, "We're not getting the ground balls, we're losing face-offs, and our turnovers are being converted into transition goals for the other teams."
While the team had genuine scorers in Brendan Damm and John Nolan, senior attackmen, "we're basically an inexperienced group. . . . Mike McKay [a junior], who took a year off, is our goalie. He's doing a solid job. The defense is doing all right, but they've been overly aggressive. We had nine penalties in the game at Floyd."
Drew Griffiths, a junior middie, and Damm had been handling the face-offs, the coach said. Tyler Mathews, a senior who alternates between midfield and attack, is sidelined for the moment with a head injury, though, according to McCormack, "it wasn't a concussion."
"The main thing," Vitulli added, "is that these guys are working hard, trying to improve each game."
McCormack, besides assisting Vitulli, heads up East Hampton's youth lacrosse organization (there are third, fifth, and sixth-grade traveling teams), which keeps him very busy at this time of year.
"The kids UpIsland are playing all the time, so we've got to hone it down," he said following Sunday's sixth-grade game on the high school's turf field. "I like kids playing other sports, but they're not doing that up the Island. They're concentrating on lacrosse. If we want to compete with them we've got to do the same."

extract input forms to display on my site/db
Presupuesto $50-150 USD
I am looking to pull 6 input forms (source files: html, css, js etc) from a site I belong to and run them on my server/db. PM me for screencast showing forms.
Basically looking to recreate these forms exactly. You need a username and password to access these forms. I am a paying member with a username and password. Wondering if some 'wget' magic can pull source to recreate. Then 'find and replace' to insert my domain to get things running with my db.
The difference between the 6 forms is minimal. Most fields are the same across all 6 forms but each form has a couple different sections. Some of the fields will be hard coded so the user does not have the option of selecting a different option and some of the fields will be removed completely so we have less fields (i will provide screenshot crossing out the fields that are not needed so you know exactly which fields either need to be hard coded or removed.)
My site is php/mysql. The source is asp.net / js.
Once they are on my server and working with my db, user will fill out the forms and submit the form(s) to my db and I'd like the form to generate a pdf that looks exactly like the forms html/css with the fields checked off. Upon submission, the pdf should be automatically emailed to an address I will provide and the data stored in mysql. User should be able to login, edit and save the form at any time by clicking a special link (like craigslist emails you to edit your ad)
Basic features.
Keep forms exactly the same.
find replace for my url
Hard code certain sections so user cannot edit specific fields.
Same required fields as source.
Auto save form every 5 min with browser cookie drops
create pdf

To the guys out there who think "Wanna come over and fuck?" is a great opening line in an IM session, it's not. If it were that easy, nothing in the world would ever get accomplished. The entire infrastructure of our society would collapse. People would be screwing in the streets, instead of doing their jobs. There would be utter chaos, and we'd all wind up living in caves without electricity or plumbing.
To the guys who post pictures of themselves in their profiles without shirts, I've yet to meet a woman who thinks that's a turn on. No one gives a shit how much you can bench press, so put down the steroids and the barbells, walk away from the mirror you flex in front of all day, and pick up a book. Reading is fundamental, and you're probably gay anyway.
To the guys who tell chicks they "can get lost just staring into their eyes" on first dates, that'll only work if the chick is really into you. But if you're the type of guy who uses lines like that ten minutes after meeting someone, I can't imagine there are any chicks out there that would actually be into you anyway. Just tell her she has really pretty eyes. It's a compliment without being creepy, and you need to learn how not to be creepy.
To the guys who invite women to an event and tell them: "Your ticket is $65. You can pay me when I see you," that's something you tell your guy friend, not someone you hope to see naked. Unless, of course, you wanna see your guy friend naked, in which case, get in touch with the guy who poses shirtless on Jdate.
To the guys who insist on ordering for their dates in restaurants, stop taking your dating cues from movies from the 1930s. "The lady will have the lemon pepper shrimp " is not something you should be saying unless the lady has told you that's what she wants, and has given you the okay to order for her. Otherwise, let them order their own damn food. They're your dates, not your three year old daughters.
To the guys who say they're gonna call after a first date, but only intend on calling if nothing better comes along, stop being selfish douchebags. If you're not motivated enough to call her based on her own merits, just say, "It was nice meeting you," and go home. Odds are she wasn't interested in you anyway, so why not just go your separate ways like mature adults?
To the guys who practically show their dates their pay stubs, and brag about the apartments they just bought, just tell your dates you're insecure little shits with small dicks instead. At least they'll appreciate your honesty.
To the guys who ask women out via barely comprehensible text messages, grow up. You wanna text message people things like "LOL," or "ROFLMAO"? - go hang out in the mall with the other 14 year old girls and their Sidekicks, or pick up a goddamn phone, and ask a woman out like a man.
To the guys who lie in their profiles about their height, weight, or amount of hair on their heads, and then get pissed off when women do the same, the lying women are the ones you should be with. Why?- because you're both fucking liars! Let the herd of truth distorters be thinned so the rest of us who are honest can meet each other.
And finally to the self-proclaimed "players" who secretly video tape their conquests, and show the footage to their friends, as cool and as uber-hetero as you think that is, you too may wanna email the shirtless Jdate guy. You clearly don't respect women, and wanting other dudes to see your hairy balls and ass clearly indicates that your overcompensating by trying to bang as many women as possible.
It is to all these men, and to the others like them that I haven't mentioned in the interest of brevity, that I say:
You are the stinking turds nestled safely at the bottom of the dating pool. When you're discovered, women go running out and never want to jump back in. Remedy your ways, or don't go swimming anymore!

WASHINGTON (AP) ? Executives from the country's biggest banks met with U.S. Treasury officials Friday to discuss how debt auctions will be handled if Congress fails to raise the borrowing limit before Tuesday's deadline.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Executives from the country's biggest banks met with U.S. Treasury officials Friday to discuss how debt auctions will be handled if Congress fails to raise the borrowing limit before Tuesday's deadline.
Treasury officials met in New York with representatives from 20 large banks that serve as primary dealers for the sale of Treasury securities. They took questions amid growing concern that the borrowing limit will not be raised in time to avoid a default on the debt. And they discussed the possibility of delaying or reducing the size of the upcoming auctions if the debt limit is not raised.
Some of the banks recommended that the government use short-term Treasury bills, called cash management bills, in place of a full refunding auction. That would raise some debt but not as much as a refunding. So it could keep Treasury under the current $14.3 trillion borrowing limit.
No decisions were announced at the meeting, and Treasury provided no details of how the government will decide which bills to pay should the borrowing limit not be raised. A statement said the meeting was to prepare for an upcoming quarterly debt auction.
White House spokesman Jay Carney said the administration did not plan to provide the public with details Friday on how the government will prioritize payments. Carney said the administration plans to lay out its contingency plans, but it would wait until closer to Tuesday's deadline.
Treasury makes 80 million payments a month.
If the debt ceiling is not raised, Treasury will not have the ability after Aug. 2 to borrow new debt. But it would still be able to refinance debt that is maturing as long as the operation does not increase the total debt supply. Treasury has to borrow on average $125 billion in new debt each month and refinance $500 billion in maturing debt.
The next quarterly auction is scheduled for the week of Aug. 8. If it is not postponed, Treasury is scheduled to release its borrowing plans at a news conference Wednesday. Market participants had expected that Treasury would announce plans to borrow around $72 billion, the same amount that the government raised at the last refunding auction in May.
Scott Sherman, an interest-rate strategist at Credit Suisse, said that if the debt ceiling is not raised by Tuesday, Treasury will have to decide whether to proceed with a tentative schedule for the debt auctions the week or Aug. 8 or announce plans to trim the size of those auctions to keep under the current debt limit.
Moody's Investors Service said late Friday that the United States should be able to keep its triple-A credit rating as long as Washington works out a deal that lets it continue to pay bondholders.
"If the debt limit is not raised before Aug. 2, we believe that Treasury would give priority to debt service payments and could thus postpone a potential debt default for a number of days," Moody's said in its new report. "Revenues would be more than adequate for some period of time to meet those payments although other outlays would be severely reduced as a result."
Private economists believe the government would pay bond holders first if the debt limit is not raised. If the Treasury missed a bond payment, the country would likely default on its debt. That could rattle markets and increase borrowing costs on most consumer and business loans, many of which are linked to the rates on Treasurys.
Some economists say the government will have enough cash on hand to meet interest payments and some other payments until as late as Aug. 15.
Officials of the bond-trading divisions of JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and the other big banks attended the meeting at the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
Treasury would normally meet with half of the 20 dealers before a quarterly auction. However, given the heighted concerns surrounding the debt stalemate, Treasury decided to expand the discussions to include all 20 banks.
Treasury said in its statement that the general consensus among the banks participating in the discussion was that Congress "should act as quickly as possible to raise the debt ceiling for as long a period as possible to lift the cloud of uncertainty from the economy."
The Obama administration wants Congress to increase the borrowing limit to last beyond the November 2012 elections. Republicans in the House want a smaller initial increase, and second increases tied to more spending cuts that would take place next year before the election.

Emojis are the perfect way to add a little flair and feeling to your text message.
If you're feeling sassy, add the salsa dancing girl. If you're feeling loopy, add the upside down smiley face. Suddenly, your friends truly understand your thoughts, even if they're just reading them as they come across a screen. However, emojis can also become a major point of contention.
For instance, Google recently came under fire after releasing a cheeseburger emoji featuring the cheese laying atop the bottom bun, underneath the patty.
Thomas Baekdal on Twitter
I think we need to have a discussion about how Google's burger emoji is placing the cheese underneath the burger, while Apple puts it on top
Fans instantly began to question the look of the emoji, especially when compared to Apple's version, which featured the cheese on top of the burger patty, as most people are accustomed to eating the food. In fact, the emoji caused such a stir that Google's CEO sent out a tweet saying he would drop everything to correct the problem.
Sundar Pichai on Twitter
Will drop everything else we are doing and address on Monday:) if folks can agree on the correct way to do this! https://t.co/dXRuZnX1Ag
It's unclear when the switching of the cheese will actually be put into place, but at least we know the CEO of the company is taking the matter seriously, as he should.

Stevens & Williams
English, est. 1847
Vase, c. 1875
39 x 15 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of Mrs. Agnes M. Benidickson
The glass factory of Stevens & Williams was one of the most notable of the Stourbridge glasshouses, an area of concentrated glass-making due to the ready availability of coal and other natural resources needed for firing glass. This beautiful example of cameo glass dates from a period of significant creative innovation, when the factory was under the artistic direction of John Northwood (1836–1902) and employed designer Frederick Carder (1863–1963). Northwood is credited with reintroducing to Britain the glass-making techniques of ancient Greece and Rome, specifically that of cameo glass. Upon leaving the factory in 1902, Carder went on to establish the Steuben Glass Company in Corning, New York. This vase, with white glass layered over turquoise, features excellent carving and shading. The naturalistic design elements relate to the stylizations of Art Nouveau.

Campbell Praised For Lowering Sodium in Soup, Juice
Campbell Soup Company, long a bastion of high sodium products, is drawing praise from the Center for Science in the Public Interest for significantly reducing the sodium levels in some of its products and for introducing a number of lower-sodium versions.
"It's rare for companies to acknowledge consumer demand for foods lower in salt, rarer still for companies to act on that," said CSPI executive director Michael F. Jacobson. "Campbell is expanding its customers' choices. I hope that other food manufacturers follow suit."
According to CSPI, Americans are consuming twice as much sodium as is healthy, and are therefore suffering from higher rates of hypertension, heart attacks, and strokes. In 2004, the director of the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute and two colleagues estimated that cutting the sodium content of packaged and restaurant foods by 50 percent could save 150,000 lives per year. Last year, CSPI petitioned the Food and Drug Administration to set reasonable limits for its use in packaged foods.

About this blog
Hello and welcome to my blog "Lost In Translation" which deals with my exhange period in Seinan Gakuin University, Fukuoka, Japan. My exchange period is taking place in Spring semester 2012 and I'll be spending in total 4,5 months studying the language and culture of "The Land of The Rising Sun".
I'm a third year student studying Facility Management in JAMK University of Applied Sciences. The reason for choosing Seinan Gakuin as my exhange destination was that I have been studying Japanese for about 2 years now and I'm eager to learn more.
In this blog I'll be writing about preparing for the exchange, my studies, people, culture, food and about whatever I will face during this 4,5 months!
Name of the blog comes from my favorite movie "Lost in Translation" by Sofia Coppola. The movie triggered my interest on Japanese culture and the name of itself describes the hardships of understanding a new culture and language.

San Jose Taiko has performed in a lot of places in its 41-year history, both locally and on the road. One venue it's never graced, though, is the San Jose Jazz Summer Fest–and why would it? Who would expect to hear the controlled pounding of classic wadaiko drums at an event that's more about improvisation, brass and woodwinds?
That will change when SJ Taiko appears at the California Theatre, one of the festival's 11 downtown stages during its Aug. 8-10 run. The group will be joined by another South Bay institution, the Bangerz, a sextet of deejays who specialize in electronic/hip-hop sonics.
The two collectives first blended their opposing yet complementary sounds at San Jose's 2010 SubZero Festival, a memorable affair, according to Franco Imperial, artistic director of SJ Taiko.
"The Bangerz are down to earth and professional at the same time," he says. "They're world famous for what they do [tour with individuals like Ghostface, Carlos Mencia and Questlove]; we were a bit starstruck.
"When we presented at SubZero we didn't know how the audience would act. The reaction was explosive, unreal. We tried to maintain our demeanor, but as soon as we played our first note there was wild applause."
That energy will be replicated 6 p.m. Aug. 10 the California Theatre, 345 S. First St., San Jose, when 13 taiko players team with three of the Bangerz: Cutso, Goldenchyld and Squareweezy.
The concert will also be the kick-off for a mini tour by SJ Taiko and the Bangerz. They will appear in San Francisco on Aug. 17 at the ODC Theater, then next March in Folsom.
"We're starting to get requests from other places in California," Imperial says. "The hope is that the program will grow from there."
To see San Jose Taiko and the Bangerz requires all-day admission to the San Jose Jazz Summer Fest. Until Aug. 6, advance three-day passes are $55-$285. Advance single-day all stages admission is $15 for Aug. 8, $30 for Aug. 9-10. Available at summerfest.sanjosejazz.org. Prices will be higher at the gate.

Using narratives and visual genres found in art, combined with the clean aesthetics of design and contemporary product advertising, the work of Norah Stone is representative of a generation which has seen both art and design coexisting, flattened by the computer screen, and has no use for their separation. "The classic art vs. design question is something that comes up a lot in my daily life but I often find it to be a futile discussion, says the Minneapolis-based Stone, "I guess I just don't think it's important to set up boundaries just for the sake of boundaries."
Norah Stone's most-recent series, Artificial Utopias, creates thoroughly modern still life scenes, which despite their alluring hyppereal-quality (reminiscent of advertising and pictorial), the distinct sense of disconnect between these spotless digital worlds and our own is unsettling.
Says Stone,
"In a culture where most of our daily routines and habits have been replaced by a digital screen, the scroll, the pixel, and the ability to retouch has ultimately changed our ideals of perfection….As I was working on this project I was thinking a lot about how growing up in the digital generation has subconsciously molded me to be attracted to a certain cleanliness that can only be achieved on screen. Artificial Utopias was a culmination of my own personal experience with the digital world and also the research I was doing on still lives. The super clean, almost surreal aesthetic came from trying to recreate the visceral experience that comes from staring at a screen for a long period of time."
This play between perfection and illusion, the real and the empty, eventually manifested itself into twin video works as well. "In the video works (below) I was trying to recreate the process of eliminating imperfections through the clone stamp tool. In post production, I spent a lot of time retouching these photos to achieve the cleanliness of a stock photo. I wanted to capture the mundane process of retouching and erasing over and over again until you're left with something completely different," says Stone, who perhaps quite telling concludes, "or nothing at all."

Compact Spotting Scopes Compared: MINOX MD 50 Favored in Price to Performance
The MINOX MD50 is also comparatively new to the scene, although it takes up the price range previously occupied by Kowas 50mm spotter that appears to have been discontinued. Before these models from Vortex and Minox showed up, selecting a compact spotter was a pretty straightforward affair: if you wanted the best one available, you had to pony up the cash for Nikons smallest Fieldscope.

Automotive sector meets optics: Volkswagen Design creates MINOX binoculars with digital compass
With the model BN 7x50 DC of the new NAUTIK Line MINOX has set a new milestone in the development of innovative and revolutionary products: the MINOX BN 7x50 DC is fitted with the latest state-of-the-art technology and offers water-sports enthusiasts many important features such as a digital compass, barometer, stopwatch, tilt function altimeter and temperature display.
The biggest challenge in the design of the new BN 7x50 DC was the integration of the digital compass in the binocular body. A task that the competent Volkswagen Design Team took in their stride and created a binocular body that stands out with a superb ergonomic and functional design.
MINOX and Volkswagen Design can look back on a longstanding cooperation. The engineers and developers of the Wetzlar-based optics manufacturers MINOX, and the creative team at Volkswagen have been working together for fifteen years already. The presentation of many renowned design awards, including the Design Prize of the Federal Republic of Germany the most prominent award in Germany underscores the successful cooperation of these two Germany companies. Both Volkswagen and MINOX can boast a longstanding tradition and decades of experience. MINOX products offer highest quality standards, maximum precision, solidity and longevity.
The identity and tradition of the brand MINOX features a very strong design component. On this basis we develop a design concept that is geared to refine and provide new interpretations of these values. The result will naturally always coincide with the goals and the quality standards of Volkswagen Design, commented head designer Klaus Bischoff.
The new MINOX BN 7x50 DC also has a good chance of receiving one of the coveted German design awards.

Reviewed by Sam L. (age 14)
This book is special in so many ways. It has received numerous honors and has been considered one of the best novels of the 20th century. It has been banned in some schools because of its language and content. J.D. Salinger uses a unique style of writing in this book. The narrator's tone is rebellious and laid-back, just like the main character's personality. This book is one of my favorites because of its natural flow and unique story-telling styles. As I was reading the story I felt connected to Holden.
I would recommend mature readers pick up a copy of this book because of its special storyline and deep meaning about the nature of growing up. If you don't read this book you are missing a chance to read a true classic!

Tomas Roque, who worked with the Harris County Precinct 6 Constable's Office, was arrested Wednesday on charges of (drug) possession with the intent to distribute and extortion under color of law.
According to the U.S. Attorney's Office, Roque, 26, aided in the possession of cocaine on Dec. 6 and accepted $2,000 for the protection he provided. Prosecutors said that is a violation of the Hobbs Act.
Roque is expected to appear before a federal judge on Thursday.
If convicted of (drug) possession with the intent to distribute, Roque would face 10 years to life in prison and a possible fine of up to $10 million. If convicted of extortion under color of law, he could face up to 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
According to the Harris County Precinct 6 Constable's Office, Roque has served with the department for 2.5 years and has been terminated.

I'm flattered to see this segment's inspired another blogger—also a mate of mine. It's funny, because I first 'met' him on Amazon. It's come full circle, in a way.
Some of these finds may be considered peripheral to the subject, i.e. they touch on vampires rather than serve as full-length treatments. Being mindful of catchpenny titles, I've gauged their inclusion in this list by what I assume will be a reasonable and relatively unique take on vampires.
July 2012
Monsters of the market: zombies, vampires, and global capitalism / David McNally
Though its publisher site lists 'July, 2012', Amazon says it'll be released on 11 September. Take your pick. If you like political allegories, then this is the book for you! 'Drawing on folklore, literature and popular culture, this book links tales of monstrosity from England to recent vampire- and zombie-fables from sub-Saharan Africa, and it connects these to Marx's persistent use of monster-metaphors in his descriptions of capitalism.'
1 July 2012
The Dracula dilemma: tourism, identity and the state in Romania / Duncan Light
The best evidence of Dracula's success is reflected in its impact on Romanian tourism; even though Bram Stoker never visited the country. Once Westerners realised that Transylvania wasn't a mythic never-never land, the floodgates opened. So what's the dilemma? According to the book's Amazon description, 'On one hand, Dracula is Romania's unique selling point and has considerable potential to be exploited for economic gain. On the other hand, the whole notion of vampires and the supernatural is starkly at odds with Romania's self-image as a modern, developed, European state.'
30 July 2012
Vampires in the New World / Louis H. Palmer
As with the first entry, publication dates for this book are confusing: Amazon.co.uk says July, while Amazon lists 31 January 2013. I've used its publisher's date. The book's description makes it sound like it follows in the footsteps of Nina Auerbach's Our vampires, ourselves (1995), but with an American emphasis: 'surveys vampire films and literature from both national and historical perspectives since the publication of Bram Stoker's Dracula, providing an overview of the changing figure of the vampire in America. It focuses on such essential popular culture topics as pulp fiction, classic horror films, film noir, science fiction, horror fiction, blaxploitation, and the recent Twilight and True Blood series in order to demonstrate how cultural, scientific, and ideological trends are reflected and refracted through the figure of the vampire.'
7 August 2012
Haunted New Orleans: Southern spirits, Garden District ghosts, and vampire venues / Bonnye E. Stuart
One of two upcoming books emphasising vampires in association with American's Transylvania: New Orleans. The book's description doesn't indicate how much focus will be on 'vampire venues'— or vampirism, in general—so I'm only working with the title here. That said, New Orleans' considerable vampire 'heritage' should give Stuart a lotta meat to chew on.
11 September 2012
Spirits of New Orleans: voodoo curses, vampire legends, and cities of the dead / Kala Ambrose
The second book focusing on America's Transylvania. Must be something in the air. Again, the description doesn't indicate how much focus vampires are gonna get—but 'vampire legends' is certainly more expansive than 'venues.' Its author certainly gets around, though: 'A highly interactive teacher on a mission to educate, entertain and inspire, Kala writes for the Huffington Post, the Examiner, AOL, Yahoo and Fate Magazine and presents workshops nationally on the Mind/Body/Spirit connection including Auras and Energy Fields, Developing Business Intuition, Haunted History and Wisdom Teachings at the Omega Institute, John Edward Presents Infinite Quest, the Learning Annex, LilyDale Assembly, and Daily Om.'
16 September 2012
Undead in the West: vampires, zombies, mummies, and ghosts on the cinematic frontier / Cynthia J. Miller and A. Bowdoin Van Riper (eds.)
On first blush, the book—a collection of essays—seems to focus on the Weird West, a genre that combines 'the Western with another literary genre, usually horror, occult, or fantasy.' But its Amazon description indicates it'll also examine Western tropes in association with 'weird' combinations: 'The subjects explored here run the gamut from such B films as Curse of the Undead and Billy the Kid vs. Dracula to A-list features like From Dusk 'til Dawn and Jonah Hex, as well as animated films (Rango) and television programs (The Walking Dead and Supernatural). Other films discussed include Sam Raimi's Bubba Ho-Tep, John Carpenter's Vampires, George Romero's Land of the Dead, and Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West.'
I've actually uncovered a few more new books, but I'm 'holding' onto them till I confirm a few details first. So, stay tuned for the next instalment!

When some guys reach their 80th birthday, they have become old men. They sit around in easy chairs, watch television, eat cookies and drink milk. They are eager to tell their stories to anyone willing to listen. Then there are people such as Jerry Jones of Southside, aka Awesome Man.
When some guys reach their 80th birthday, they have become old men. They sit around in easy chairs, watch television, eat cookies and drink milk. They are eager to tell their stories to anyone willing to listen. Then there are people such as Jerry Jones of Southside, aka Awesome Man.
Jones attended a huge surprise birthday party at his church. He looked like one of the youngest guys there, all slim and trim with a ready smile and eyes aglow. He stood around talking to a lot of old men until things officially got under way and he discovered he was the guest of honor.
Most of the people in attendance either played on baseball or softball teams with Jones, played on youth teams he once coached or had done both. They'd also had their day and were now happy to sit around and tell their stories, most of which included Jones.
Jones would listen and smile as the memories came back. But he had little to say, except about his team or some teammate, because his story isn't finished. He still is playing softball on two teams in Over-80 Leagues. One is a local team based in Birmingham, but he primarily plays for a traveling team out of Venice, Fla. Last month that team wound up its summer season by winning the national championship tournament in Las Vegas.
Jones was voted the tournament's Most Valuable Player, getting a double, triple and home run in four at-bats. The home run came in the last inning with the score tied, two out and no one on base, giving his team a 10-9 victory. During the three years he's played on this team, it has lost only one tournament.
This fall he is playing with a team in Fort Myers. Come February, his team will be competing in the "Tournament of Champions" at Lakeland, Fla.
Winning the MVP with his bat was an unusual accomplishment for a guy known primarily as a defensive player. But then, so is switching to the outfield at his age after a long career at first base.
"Most of the guys come up with bad knees by the time they reach 80 and can't run much," Jones said. "I've still got good knees and have no trouble running. So I switched to the outfield."
That's about all this quiet guy had to say about himself, other than to tell about playing on some Over-60 and Over-70 teams in Gadsden and talking about teammates on those teams.
The first baseball game he remembers was back before World War II.
"I was just a kid, 7 or 8 years old, but that game has stood out in my mind all these years," Jones recalled. "They were playing in our neighbor's cow pasture in Southside. Some of the players were Barney Hood, his brother, A.J. Jr., Fette Berry and Garrett Gwin. In the bottom of the ninth, Southside was behind by one run. Someone got on base and James Cassidy, who had to work that day, came to the game late and they put him in as a pinch-hitter. He hit the ball into the pine trees behind left field to win the game."
Jones just loved the game of baseball, and by the time he graduated from high school, he was playing first base either for, or against, teams in every community in the area. He said he doesn't remember them all, but there must have been more than 20.
He mentioned playing for Thurman Foster, who managed Black Creek, and meeting Barbara Black, who would become his wife. He talked about the teams at Southside, playing for Roy Lee Brown and against Rhodentown, Sand Rock and numerous other teams. He said Porter Gilbert at Geraldine was great and may have been the best pitcher he faced.
When sandlot baseball faded, he started playing softball and coaching youth league baseball. Both were fun, but as his sons grew up, he gradually stopped coaching and increased his play in softball. "It was more fun to play than to coach," he said.
Jones would play in the local leagues in Gadsden and with traveling teams out of Atlanta.
Teammate Ron Pfeiffer said it always is fun to see the surprise on the faces of teams they are playing for the first time when Jones stretches his hits into extra bases because of his speed.
"Jerry is a testament of not judging a book (or softball player) by its cover," Pfeiffer said. "Although he is a great softball player, that is not the thing that impresses me most. When I think of Jerry Jones, I think of a good man that lives out his Christian life; of a gentle man that keeps his calm in the midst of battle; of a man who lives out the meaning of sportsmanship."
Another teammate, Joe "Doc" Smith, said creating bonds of friendship while playing ball together over the years has been exciting, but so has the unity that developed on the field. "When a long ball was hit to center field and I'd go out as the relay guy, Jerry always would put his throw right to the spot. He is a great player and it's been a privilege to play on the team with him."
Clark Kennedy, Glencoe, said a lot of older players would run into each other chasing fly balls, but not Jones. "He was a small guy and didn't want to get run over, so he'd always yell to let everyone know where he was."
Kennedy and Jones were on the same local mountain top team, and they traveled with Charlie Wheeler to play for the Georgia travel team. One of their teammates over there was Don Miola, a musician, who once had played in bands with Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey. Jones said one of his saddest moments was when the team cut Miola, who had become a really good friend.
One of his most humorous stories wasn't about playing ball, but about hunting.
Jerry, his brother Bill and their first cousin Howard once went to south Alabama to hunt turkey. Howard didn't like to hunt, but just went along for the camaraderie. Early next morning, Jerry and Bill left the cabin in opposite directions; Howard went back to bed.
Jerry killed a bird quickly and went back to the cabin, where he and Howard decided to play a trick on Bill. They took the bird out a little way and almost hid it. Then Jerry went back in the woods and waited on Bill to return. When he did, the brothers walked back to the cabin empty handed. Howard met them at the door, still wearing pajamas.
As the brothers were telling their tale of woe, Howard picked up a rifle, said he saw a turkey and fired through the window. They all went out and Howard found the dead bird he had just shot. He had a good laugh, teasing Bill for hunting all morning and not getting a thing, while he stayed in bed then got a turkey out the window.

Undergraduate Publishes In Prestigious Digital Humanities JournalSOCORRO, N.M. September 15, 2011 – Management student Jacoby Boles, , is the author of a recently published webtext in the online journal Kairos. Boles is the editorial assistant for the ejournal Xchanges, which is produced at New Mexico Tech.
|Jacoby Boles and Dr. Julianne Newmark review the webtext that was recently published in Kairos, a digital humanities journal.
|Xchanges: A Student-Centric Journal
|Boles's Kairos articles focuses on New MexicoTech's writing, rhetoric, and technical communication ejournal, Xchanges. Dr. Julianne Newmark, assistant professor of English at Tech, and her students publish two issues of Xchanges each year. The fall issue highlights graduate-level research. The spring issue features theses and research projects of upper-level undergraduate students.
During the fall 2010 semester, students in the TC 371 class had one large project – redesign the website and publish the November 2010 issue of the journal. In Spring 2011, student Jacoby Boles served as Newmark's editorial assistant, publishing the issue currently featured on the Xchanges website. Newmark said Boles' efforts kept the journal on schedule: "Jacoby is a very hard worker with significant creative talents." She added, "As an editorial assistant, he showed significant dedication to the technical components of the journal, such as creating web menus and making sure links were operational, as well as to the larger issue of the journal's future and reputation. That he is now a published author in a leading digital humanities journal, Kairos, is something about which everyone in the NMT community should be proud. I know I am! And I am glad he represents the journal Xchanges and its mission so positively as well."
Newmark started Xchanges as a graduate student at Wayne State University in Detroit in 2001. She also organized the Y/X Conference for interdisciplinary American studies. From 2001 to 2005, she oversaw the publication of nine issues and organized five conferences. When she left Wayne State to take a professorship at New Mexico Tech, the conference and the journal floundered. Her colleagues in Detroit gave their blessing for Newmark to move Xchanges to Tech. After a hiatus of nearly five years, Xchanges 6.1 in March 2010 marked the resurrection of the online journal and its reinvention as a publication focusing on writing, rhetoric, and technical communication, areas that harmonize well with the research and teaching interests of faculty and students at New Mexico Tech
Boles's article "Xchanges Journal: Web Journal As the Writing Classroom," focuses on his work as the editorial assistant to Dr. Julianne Newmark, managing editor of the ejournal Xchanges. Boles also wrote about the experiences of Technical Communication students at New Mexico Tech who collaboratively completed one issue of the journal Xchanges and the redesign of the journal's website during the fall 2010 course, TC 371 Publications Management.
Kairos is a leading journal focusing on digital and multimodal communication with an international readership of 45,000 readers per month. Boles's webtext – a website he designed that presents research information of the rigor of a scholarly print article in harmony with dynamic images – was selected for publication in the undergraduate issue as a result of double-blind review.
Boles employed scholarly research about digital publications and examined trends among academic journals that are seeking to transition from print to digital formats. He showcased Xchanges as a journal that is not only trying to match these trends, but is trying to set new precedents and find new solutions in the academic ejournal arena.
Boles worked as a directed study student with Newmark in the semester following his completion of the "Publications Management" course. He then saw another issue of Xchanges through to release. Simultaneously, he researched other journals' practices and drew conclusions about Xchanges's presence – within the Tech community , among other international online journals that focus on technical communication, writing, and rhetoric, and as a journal that is unique in its reliance on undergraduate students as production staff and as authors of work the journal publishes in its spring issue each year (fall issues are graduate-student-research issues).While helping Newmark complete both copyediting and technical editing tasks for the journal issue, Boles designed his Kairos-submission website and wrote numerous drafts of his research findings with the goal of submitting his final webtext to Kairos in March.
Boles' article is divided into sections: Goals, Prior Knowledge, Making the Issue, Managing the Project, and Beyond the Journal. Each section is one webpage, which is intended to allow readers or libraries to print the article – a practice also followed with Xchanges. His article examines several aspects of the production process and offers analysis of the Technical Communications 371 class as an instructional exercise for publishing.
Newmark provided the introduction for Boles's article, in which she wrote that his text offers "what only a student can provide: direct commentary on the TC 371 course as a hands-on learning experience for undergraduate students."
Boles's conclusions are of greatest significance for those who will read his article about ejournals in Kairos, which is also an ejournal, Newmark said. In the article, Boles dwells upon the importance of securing quality content for each issue of Xchanges. He said in an interview that, "There's a glut of information on the Internet. ... Tons of people are writing bad articles. It's easy to publish online. There's no unified body to say what's good and what's not good. It's hard to stand out from that glut and find good content for your own publication."
That glut of often dubious information has led to a degree of skepticism toward online journals, Boles said. Therefore, an online journal must strive for rigorous evaluation of submissions. Xchanges relies on an independent board of reviewers, comprised of top academics in writing, rhetoric, and technical communication from universities across the country.
In his webtext, Boles wrote, "Quality writing begets quality evaluation. Or your journal is only as good as the work it publishes. So we decided that by producing a journal of repute and lasting quality, which is our goal at Xchanges, we must foster great writing from our authors." In his Kairos webtext, Boles also accentuated the importance of teamwork, collaboration, and communication among journal staff members. He also wrote about the digital production room and the file-sharing platforms that create smooth workflow.
Of the TC 371 course, which is a significant focus of his Kairos piece, Boles wrote, "The greatest strength of this course and of using the web-journal-production environment as the classroom environment is in teaching students skills which are beneficial across disciplines and settings." In a multimedia journal like Kairos, which features writing from students and professionals from institutions around the world, Boles's webtext stands as a strong representation of the high quality of research produced by Tech undergraduates and the collaborative projects – like Xchanges – to which Tech faculty and students are dedicated, Newmark said.
