Going Mobile
Going Mobile
Oct 24, 2011 12:03 PM, by Vern Freedlander, Vice President, Production, X2O Media
Smartphones, tablets, and other mobile electronics have become an integral part of our everyday lifestyle. With the extensive capabilities of these devices, it is a natural extension to incorporate them into digital signage, a prospect that has created a lot of buzz and provides a number of opportunities. Consider corporate communications, where mobile devices can provide a continuity of messaging across a more diverse geography. By having digital signage content mirrored on smart phones, messaging is more consistent and reaches employees on the go, such as salespeople or delivery drivers. This is an efficient and effective way to keep them in the loop. The same is true for emergency situations. Whether it's a corporation or college campus, the audience doesn't need to be standing in front of a screen to receive vital emergency information.
In addition, mobile devices enable the creation of interactive digital signage channels that weren't previously possible. In retail environments, consumers can use their smartphones to receive coupons or other special offers promoted by the screens. For example, a screen might display a message instructing patrons to text the name of the store to a certain number in order to receive an instant coupon. The same approach can be used to sign up for customer loyalty campaigns or store event notifications. Polling features can also be implemented, where viewers text their votes for on-screen tabulation to determine the winner of a competition.
Finally, mobile devices open the door to communicating with screens via social media using apps such as Twitter or Facebook. On a college campus, for example, this would allow students to post tweets to the screen commenting on a campus event or social issue. In addition to providing a more interactive experience for viewers, text messages and social media posts also provide an excellent method for measuring the audience, giving a much better sense of who's watching.
Vern Freedlander is vice president of production services for Montréal-based X2O Media, a full-service provider of technology, network management and content services for professional digital signage applications. With more than 20 years of broadcast television experience as a producer, director and executive, Freedlander oversees all of X2O Media's content initiatives.

One of the troubles with running a dedicated Windows Phone site is that you need to cater to the pro users and the new folks who have just picked up their first device. This post is for them, the new people.
On Windows Phone 8 you may often see a little dot-in-a-circle icon appear in the upper right hand side on your screen. It seemingly pops up randomly and due to the amount of forum threads on the matter, it has caused some confusion. So what is it?...
It's simply the GPS icon alerting you to the fact that an app at that moment is pulling down your location.
Often this will happen with some weather apps that use your at-the-moment location (as opposed to fixed) for the current weather conditions. In fact, in Windows Phone 8 apps that use geolocation information can freely run in the background (e.g. Nokia Drive) and of course apps can run periodically for updates to the Live Tile. Anytime that is happening, you'll see the little dot in a circle icon appear.
This means you may see the icon when in an app or sometimes just when you are on your Start screen. If it's the latter case, that just means an app in the background is updating and accessing your location at that moment.
In short, it's nothing to be alarmed about unless you don't want your GPS services running (you can always disable them system wide via Settings --> Location). Just pay attention when you are setting up an app for the first time. All Windows Phone apps are required to ask for permission before accessing your location, so it's on you to click yes or no.
For further reference, you can peep the chart below posted by Nokia. This chart shows all of the Windows Phone 8 icons that may pop up on your phone (including HTC, Samsung, etc.).

Too rough, and perhaps even too redolent of British boarding schools, the game of rugby hasn't taken much hold in the United States. But four Boston middle schools earlier this month played in a first-ever rugby tournament for youths in those grades. In a partnership between the two-year-old Massachusetts Youth Rugby Organization and Citizen Schools, boys and girls from the Washington Irving, Edwards, Orchard Gardens, and Lee Academy middle schools competed in a flag version of the sport more famous in countries like England, New Zealand, and South Africa.
Compared to American-style football, the sport to which it is most often compared, rugby is far less costly in equipment and less likely to cause the high-velocity injuries that are an increasing concern in American tackle football. The youth rugby organization says on its website that it wants to provide "an environment which welcomes every child who wishes to play" and "values effort, integrity, and sportsmanship as much as winning."
One hopes that remains true, especially given recent controversies in Pop Warner football surrounding concussions and overzealous adult coaches. For now, Boston students can revel in a new form of recreation.

text: Ancient Olympia Greece, the birthplace of the Olympic Games, is one of the best-known archeological sites of ancient Greece. Ancient Olympia was a sanctuary associated with games and the worship of the gods. Olympia is situated in a valley of Ilias, by the foot of Mt. Kronos, in western Peloponnese. Visitors today can discover Zeus' sacred place at the Archaeological Site, the Archaeological Museum, the museum of Ancient Olympic Games and the Museum of modern Olympic Games.

Bill Conner runs a defense company whose customers are threatened by new forms of global attack every day.
The 52-year-old president and chief executive of Dallas-based Entrust Inc. sells software and technology to such marquee customers as Citibank, Interpol and the governments of the U.S., Canada, Britain and the Middle East in their battle against cybercrime, identity theft and terrorism.
When a U.S. passport is electronically read at an airport, Entrust's embedded encryption assures immigration officials that the document is the real deal.
"We put a digital signature into the chip or the magnetic strip," Conner says in his headquarters office in One Lincoln Centre. "We encrypt and digitally sign all of the personal information that you provide so that it can't be tampered with."
The same is true for more than half of the passports issued by governments around the world.
Passports in six European countries and Malaysia have added biometric photos and fingerprints embedded by Entrust to foil counterfeiters. Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates use its encryption for their national identity cards, some with biometrics.
But the pièce de résistance is an all-in-one smart card developed for Interpol so that its law enforcers can move seamlessly from one country to the next, get inside any of its worldwide facilities and securely hook up at even the most insecure public Internet kiosk or cafe.
They're the size of a credit card and cost about $10 apiece.
Dream job
For Conner, a guy who loves technology, turning around failing businesses, James Bond movies and spy novels, this is his dream job.
This year, Entrust will post revenue in excess of $100 million with a return of about 27 percent of its sales.
A significant portion of its business is software. Citigroup uses Entrust software to secure its desktops and email so that information flowing through its system is only accessed by authorized people.
About 20 percent of Entrust's profit is reinvested into developing products because every day brings a new type of attack.
"I love the fact that the landscape changes every day," Conner says. "One day it's the Ukrainians trying break us. The next, it's the Iranians or some group in China or Russia. The key thing here is you've got to feed the beast. You've got to do the R&D."
When Conner took over as CEO in 2001, Entrust was losing $25 million a quarter.
By 2009, the spin-off from Nortel Networks Corp. was performing well enough for Conner to entice Thoma Bravo LLC to buy Entrust and take it private.
Scott Crabill, managing partner of Thoma Bravo in San Francisco, says it's been one of the private equity firm's best investments. "The management team continues to outperform the goals we set for them — even amidst an economic climate of such uncertainty."
Conner stands a chance at becoming a wealthy man if Entrust gets bought out for big bucks. He owns 5 percent of the company. But he's already made plenty of money in the technology industry, earning about a million bucks a year at Nortel Networks before moving to Entrust.
Growing up in Arkansas, Conner was a whiz at math and science but also loved the outdoors, hiking and fishing. Still does.
As a student at Princeton University, he headed the undergraduate engineering lab on alternative energy research. "That's how I put myself through school," he says. "I came from a family that was not of means where Princeton would be an option."
After he graduated in 1981, AT&T Corp. recruited him for its high-potential program where those selected either ignited or quickly flamed out. Before he turned 30, Conner was running AT&T's $6 billion business services division.
In 1992, he joined Nortel in Washington, D.C., and rose to become president of its enterprise business headquartered in Dallas.
When Nortel spun off Entrust in 1994, Conner joined its board. He left Nortel and took over as CEO in 2001 to stop the massive hemorrhaging.
He cut the workforce from more than 1,300 to about 350 and refocused the business into an R&D machine. Even his MBA from Wharton hadn't prepared him for that.
"They didn't offer one class about how do you cut enough of your business out to make a buck, transform your software every 18 months and keep your people happy," he says. "That's been the journey."
Interpol interest
The journey has taken him to some pretty heady places.
Shortly after 9/11, Conner spoke to a joint session of Congress about cybersecurity and terrorism. The following June, he stood before NATO in Norfolk, Va. His talk: "You've learned to fight on air, land and sea. The next front will be in cyber."
Even Interpol had to be convinced of its vulnerability.
"The secretary general had his doubts about whether Interpol needed high-security cards," Conner says, referring to his first encounters two years ago with Interpol chief Ron Noble. "So my guy took a suitcase in, cloned all their cards and walked through the facility in 30 minutes. Then we said, 'We'll show you how you can fix that.'"
Noble took Entrust up on its offer.
In October 2010, Conner presented plans to Interpol's general assembly at Doha, Qatar, where its 189 member countries approved the smart card plan.
But Conner focused his mission during an earlier meeting at Interpol headquarters in Lyon, France.
"The guy who got up after me was the head of police for Dubai, where they'd just had the Hamas assassination. I've got on my little headphones and realize I'm not at a technology conference because he's giving a case study of the murder — video, dead guy in bed, everything."
The hit team had traveled to Dubai on forged passports and had gotten into the room with a knocked-off hotel key.
"That's when you realize this is serious stuff that we're tying to do," Conner says.
Noble says he enjoys working with Conner.
"A charismatic and dynamic individual, Bill is invested in the company and how they can help safeguard identities in a quickly evolving digital landscape," Nobel says in an email. Their partnership resulted in "a multipurpose smart card credential that should serve as the blueprint for identity-based security strategies across the globe."
Another important customer is the British government, which uses Entrust for passports and to prevent security breaches and cyber theft from government financial accounts.
"It's the first government globally to admit they're getting hacked and having government money stolen," says Conner.
Sir Nigel Sheinwald, British ambassador to the United States, says his government's collaboration with Conner and Entrust "has brought about innovative security initiatives that enhance the protection of British citizens."
Anticipating change
Last week, Entrust landed its largest fraud detection contract ever, although Conner can't reveal who it's with.
"We went through this big technology bake-off in the last 18 months, and we just won the award," he says.
Clearly, Conner has a fan base across the pond.
Andrew Pinder, former e-Envoy to Prime Minister Tony Blair and that administration's chief information officer, was Conner's main contact in the early stages of Entrust's collaboration with the Brits.
"Bill's always shown enormous drive, vision and innovation in leading Entrust through shifts in the digital world where other technology and security organizations have failed or lagged seriously behind," says Pinder, an independent consultant in London.
"This understanding and anticipation of changes ahead, coupled with smart business acumen and a very acute political antenna, are why Bill is greatly respected among his peers and clients."

Have I been in a bit of a soup-obsessed mood lately?... maybe. Or maybe it's just that when it's getting bitterly cold, the only way to fight back is to get in the kitchen and make a great big batch of soup! I was in the mood for something light, easy and heart-warming. I think this pretty much did the trick: a couple ladlefuls of chicken broth, a myriad of greens and some shrimp all simmering in the cradle of a wok. 10 minutes later... voila. Lunch is served my friends!
Recipe (for 4)
4 baby bok choy
12 sugar snap peas
12 shrimp, peeled
1/2 teaspoon of grated ginger
1 tablespoon of peanut (or canola) oil
A pinch of dried chillies
2 cloves of garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon of sesame oil
2 teaspoons of light soy sauce
2 spring onions, sliced
4 cups of chicken stock
Toasted sesame seeds
300 grams of dried udon noodles
Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Run them under cold water once cooked, and reserve.
In the meantime, add the bok choy (cut in half lengthwise) and the sugar snap peas to a pot of boiling water. Boil for 2 minutes. Shock the vegetables by placing them in ice cold water. This stops the cooking process and helps the vegetables maintain a nice green color. Once the vegetables are cold, drain and remove excess water with paper towels.
Heat your wok to medium low heat. Add the peanut oil, ginger, garlic and dried chili. Stirfry for 2 minutes. Add the peeled shrimp. Once the shrimp starts to turn pink, add the vegetables stirring constantly. Once the shrimp is entirely pink in color add the noodles. Add the chicken broth and bring to a boil. Once the broth has come to a boil, add the soy sauce, sesame oil and spring onions and cook for another minute. Serve topped with toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Satin Chiffon Fabric Ivory
- Details
- Hand
- Luster
- Tips & Tricks
- Care
This Satin Chiffon Fabric comes from the French word for cloth, chiffon is a lightweight, plain-woven fabric with some stretch and a slightly rough crepe texture. Our Satin Chiffon is a sumptuous, luxurious fabric associated with special occasions. It has a lustrous surface and a soft, beautiful drape making it perfect bridal apparel, evening and formal wear.
100% Silk
54 Inches Wide
Imported from Korea
Pebbly texture
This fabric has sheen
Tips and Tricks:
- Does not lend itself to garments that are tailored or require a lot of precise seaming
- You can create volume in this very thin fabric by utilizing soft tucks, shirring, or sewing it with multiple layers
- Although more stable than regular chiffon, because of its loose structure, fabric tends to move when laid out for cutting. Layer the fabric between two sheets of tissue thin paper before cutting to stabilize. Hold fabric in place using fabric weights or fine, sharp pins (like our extra fine pins). Keep cut fabric pieces pinned to tissue paper until right before you're ready to sew
- Hand-baste pattern pieces before sewing with a sharp, fine needle
- Use tissue paper as backing when sewing seams together to help stabilize fabric – tear away once seam is secure
- It's best to only cut one layer at a time to avoid grain distortion.
- Use a new, thin needle when sewing this fabric to avoid snags– especially when machine sewing
- Use cotton, or cotton-covered polyester thread when sewing
- Lower the stitch size setting on your machine to help prevent snags (8 to 10 stitches per inch is a good estimate, but it's best to experiment on a test swatch before sewing)
- Hold thread ends when beginning to avoid accidental shirring
- The best finishes for stretch chiffon are French seams, overlock (serger), purl, or very narrow hems (1/8" is best)
- Try stretching the fabric while applying a purl stitch for a unique lettuce hem edge!
Machine wash on gentle cycle or dry clean.

Rapidly evolving consumer demands have made it a priority for e-commerce retailers to provide same-day delivery service. While this service has launched in select cities—mainly the nation's largest metropolitan areas by population—it is likely to take hold in most markets across the country over the next several years.
To accommodate these short delivery promises, distribution and fulfilment supply chains, which have traditionally been designed for two- to three-day coverage of the country and multiple daily delivery times, are transforming rapidly.
We're seeing this shift especially in the demand for light-industrial properties. Initially out of favor in the early part of the current real estate cycle, light-industrial properties have seen a rapid decline in availability and rise in asking rents relative to the overall market.
Download the report to learn more about how supply chains are rapidly evolving to make same-day delivery available across nearly every market in the U.S.

After the Supreme Court's rulings Wednesday in favor of marriage equality, many Silicon Valley tech giants joined in the celebrations.
Apple, which in 2008 donated $100,000 to fight California's same-sex marriage ban, told AllThingsD that it strongly supports marriage equality.
ALSO: Google the word 'gay' and see a rainbow
"We consider it a civil rights issue. We applaud the Supreme Court for its decisions today," the company said.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg took to his timeline to share with followers that he felt proud of his country for the day's decisions.
"I'm proud that our country is moving in the right direction, and I'm happy for so many of my friends and their families. #PrideConnectsUs," Zuckerberg said.
Zuckerberg's statement wasn't too surprising considering Chris Hughes, one of Facebook's co-founders, is gay and had his wedding in New York about a year ago.
The social network company itself also took the time to put out information about marriage equality, including the fact that about 70% of U.S. Facebook users have at least one friend who identifies as gay, lesbian or bisexual.
Google, meanwhile, brought a little color to users' lives when they searched for words related to marriage equality. When users looked up the words "gay," "lesbian," "homosexuality," "LGBT," "marriage equality," "bisexual" or "transgender," the Google search bar became surrounded by rainbow colors, which, of course, are a symbol of gay pride.
PHOTOS: Tech giants' new headquarters
The search company also said it has a number of initiatives around marriage equality and gay pride this year. One of them included teaming up with Marc Jacobs Intl to create a Gif for marriage equality that can be seen on Google+, where users have been encouraged to share their stories of love under the hashtag #ProudToLove.
On YouTube, Google also kicked off its Pride campaign Thursday. The company created a video celebrating LGBT diversity and on its Spotlight Page, the company plans to feature LGBT programming Thursday and Friday.
Also in support was Hewlett-Packard, which told AllThingsD that it has a long history of supporting the LGBT community.
"HP has more than 30 years of partnership with and participation in pride events, and works throughout the year to build and strengthen HP as an organization that values all employees, customers and communities," said Michael Thacker, global communications chair for the HP Pride Employee Resource Group.
But the support wasn't limited to just those in California. Microsoft, based in Redmond, Wash., also showed its support for the Supreme Court's decisions.
Wednesday's "decision turns the page on a law that made it more difficult for us to treat all of our employees, regardless of sexual orientation, equally," said Microsoft's Brad Smith, general counsel and executive vice president of legal and corporate affairs.
"Microsoft joined dozens of corporations, organizations and governments in support of the challenge to DOMA because of the significant costs and administrative burdens it imposed on employers and because it interfered with our efforts to promote diversity and equal opportunity in the workplace."

Linux Patent Winners and Losers
At the core of Linux is open source software that is enabled by open source licenses. Open Source licenses are what enables Linux to thrive, but other legal mechanisms, in particular the U.S. patent system, continue to lurk on the edges as a risk to the continued growth of Linux.
This past week, the Linux Planet got both positive and negative news on the patent front, as the lawyers took center stage.
1. Novell's Patent Sale Adjusted
The U.S. Department of Justice this past week adjusted the terms in the sale of more than 880 patents by Novell to CPTN Holdings, a group that includes Microsoft, EMC and Apple.
Novell is attempting to sell its patents to CPTN as part of a larger deal under which Attachmate will acquire Novell for $2.2 billion. The patent sale to CPTN is valued at $450 million.
Novell's patent portfolio includes multiple patents that could have potentially been used by a malicious patent holder in attacks against the Linux and open source ecosystem. Instead of simply approving the deal, the Department of Justice added new conditions that serve to protect open source.
The way the adjusted deal works is that Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) will acquire some of the patents, but it will then sell them back to Novell's new owner, Attachmate (NASDAQ: NTIQ). Attachmate in turn will license those patents back to Microsoft.
To make a long story short, the move will significantly mitigate the risk the Novell's patent might have had on the open market. The patents likely cannot now be used in any kind of offensive legal action against Linux or open source vendors.
This is one event that should be chalked up as a win for Linux and open source.
2. Google Loses Linux Patent Case
You win some and lose some right?
While the Novell/CPTN sale went in favor of the open source community, Google lost a $5 million judgment in an East Texas courtroom. Bedrock Computer Technologies successfully sued Google (NASDAQ: GOOG), alleging that the search giant infringes on U.S. patent #5,893,120, which it owns. According to Bedrock, Linux 2.4.22 and onward, as used by Google, infringes on its patent.
Google may have lost the first round, but this battle is far from over. Google will be fighting back in an appeal, as will other Linux vendors, including Red Hat.
Ultimately, the goal is to have the Bedrock patent declared invalid, though as is the case with anything in the legal system, it will take time.
3. Open Invention Network Expands
While Novell and Google were busy with their respective legal teams, the Open Invention Network (OIN) was busy growing its membership. OIN aims to provide a patent commons for open source projects, helping to protect both vendors and open source projects from patent risk. The OIN acquires and licenses patents in a way that enables open source.
OIN announced this past week that it had added more than 70 new licensees to its program, dramatically extending patent protection for the open source ecosystem.
Among the big names joining the OIN are Facebook, HP, Juniper Networks and Symantec.
While the threat of patents remains, the continued growth of the OIN is an encouraging step toward ensuring the safety of both the commercial and open source software markets.
4. Fedora 15 Hits Beta 1
Although patents dominated the Linux Planet news cycle, it's important to remember that Linux is about technology. This past week, the first beta of Red Hat's community Linux distribution Fedora 15 reached the Beta 1 stage.
Fedora opted to fully embrace the GNOME 3 desktop, including the GNOME Shell user interface. Fedora 15 will also be the first Fedora release to include LibreOffice instead of OpenOffice.
Another key technology Fedora 15 will debut is the BoxGrinder appliance building technology for the cloud. Red Hat has been pushing its cloud strategy for more than a year, and Fedora 15 will be an early showcase for some new technologies that are part of that strategy.
5. Natty Is Near
No, Ubuntu 11.04 did not come out last week, but it will be out this week.
The good people at Canonical know a thing or two about marketing and building hype. This past week Canonical issued a pair of press releases, announcing the impending release of Ubuntu 11.04, Natty Narwhal.
Natty is a major change for Ubuntu, as it will be the first to embrace the Unity desktop as the default user interface. Officially, Ubuntu 11.04 will be released on April 28.

Originating during the 19th century, the Border Collie was so named due to their home of development on the border of Scotland England. This breed was prized for their outstanding herding abilities of any type of livestock. Today the Border Collie is a popular farm worker, family companion, and talented show dog.
The Border Collie is medium-sized, exceptionally athletic, and possesses great endurance. This breeds obsession is their livestock work. They are high energy, confident, and determined. They are light on their feet, have a flowing movement, and are extremely versatile.
This breed is intelligent, responsive, and devoted to their master and work. The Border Collie is extremely sensitive and thrives on human interaction. They are not recommended for the novice, sedentary or apathetic dog owner or for a home with a two-career family. They do not do well if left alone for extended periods of time and will suffer separation anxiety or become destructive. Border Collies do best in a home with older considerate children. They typically get along with dogs they have been raised with but should not be in a home with cats or other small household pets. This breeds inherent work ethic will lead them to attempt to herd anything and everything that moves.
The Border Collie requires weekly brushing. Special attention should be given to the coat during shedding. Bathing or dry shampooing should only be done when necessary. This breed is prone to PRA, hip dysplasia, epilepsy, deafness, Collie Eye Anomaly, and allergies to fleas.
The Border Collie comes in two coat varieties: rough or smooth. Both varieties are double coat and weather resistant and are close fitting and thick. The outer coat is either wavy or straight and coarse in texture. The under coat is dense, short, and soft. The rough coat variety has fur of medium length. The chest, forelegs, underside, and haunches are feathered. The coat on the face, front of legs, ears, and feet is smooth and short. The smooth variety has fur of short length over the entire body and there may be slight feathering on the chest, ruff, haunches, and forelegs. The color of the coat comes in all colors or combination of colors and markings. They may be solid, merle, sable, bi-color, or tri-color. Border Collies are average shedders.
Early socialization and obedience are recommended. The Border Collie is easily trained and does best with praise, consistency, fairness, respect, and firmness. Due to their extremely sensitive nature this breed must never be treated in a harsh or heavy-handed manner. They are exceedingly talented in herding, police work, competitive obedience, search and rescue, Frisbee trials, and Flyball. Border Collies are also used successfully as therapy dogs and guide dogs for the blind.
The Border Collie has an inordinate amount of energy and requires more than physical exercise. They thrive on work, play, mental stimulation, and close contact with their owner and family. They are not recommended for apartment or city dwelling. They do best on a working farm or in a rural secluded setting where they are able to romp, run, and roam freely and safely.

A passion for ministry and for communication have landed soon-to-be Calvin senior Brian Speelman summer internships with ReFrame Media—the English-language ministries of the Back to God Hour Ministries International.
A passion for ministry and for communication have landed soon-to-be Calvin College senior Brian Speelman with summer internships with ReFrame Media—the English-language ministries of the Back to God Hour Ministries International, located in Palos Heights, Illinois.
The Darien, Ill., native is in his second year of interning for ReFrame Media, which is a good match for his talents.
"During my sophomore year, I was put in contact with Steven Koster who is the director for ReFrame Media," said Speelman. "I was hired to be a general communications intern during the summer, and it turned out to be a great experience in a really cool environment. I gained valuable experience, and I also received an internship credit with Calvin's CAS (communication arts and sciences) department."
Showcasing new talent
As a first-year intern, Speelman was given the responsibility of using social media to promote ReFrame Media's programming. He was also given the chance to co-host and co-produce the organization's Under the Radar music program. "The purpose of the program is to highlight up-and-coming Christian music artists that are talented but are flying under the radar," he explained the radio show.
A computer science major with a minor in communications, Speelman worked for ReFrame Media over the Christmas break this year. During that time, he was asked to return for another summer with the organization.
"I had mentioned that I needed credit for my computer science major, and I was put in contact with the Web master at ReFrame," said Speelman, who was told that the organization would have a summer project for him. "The project is building a website that archives some of the sermons and radio productions of the Back to God Radio Hour program that was phased out a few months ago," he said. "The goal is to build a search engine aspect to it."
As part of the project, Speelman has been in charge of deciding which Web pages to build and then creating mock-up versions of the pages to send to Web designers. After the designed pages are sent back, Speelman has been in charge of writing the Web code in order to launch the new site.
He has also been involved in the new half-hour audio program Groundwork, launched on April 18, which is intended to cultivate faith in its listeners. According to his supervisor, Speelman brings a strong worth ethic and passion to his work each and every day.
Passion for ministry
"Brian's passion for ministry is so clear to us," said Jerod Clark, ReFrame Media's intern supervisor. "Since we first met him more than a year ago, he's given up his personal time to help up us do better ministry. While some college students choose to take a vacation over Christmas and spring breaks, Brian has put his time and talents to work to minister to tens of thousands of listeners. Since we've seen his talents and hard work ethic—this summer we've given him control over building a new website for one of our programs from scratch."
His talents are part of a work environment filled with eager employees: "The people I work with have all joined the organization within the last five years," said Speelman. "There is a lot of energy every day, with people pushing each other for new things. It's been exciting."
Speelman's passion for ministry began to emerge as a student at Timothy Christian High School where he served on the school's chapel committee. As part of the committee, Speelman not only played guitar during school chapel services, but also ran the projection screens when not playing.
After choosing to attend Calvin, Speelman began running sound and projection for Calvin's chapel and LOFT services. This past year, he was a member of Calvin's Barnabas Team and, beginning this fall, will serve as a worship apprentice.
As for his future goals, Speelman wants to continue combining ministry and media. "I would love to work in church communications, helping a congregation communicate the message it has," said Speelman. "Sometimes messages in a church get muddied. I would like to help streamline the message of all of the different programs of a church so that each one comes in clear. That way, each person who walks through the door immediately knows what the church is about and can immediately connect."

Mid-range cards take on snow and fire in Skyrim
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 25, 2011 - 12:55 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: sky, elder scrolls V, gtx 460, hd6850, GTX 560, hd6870, GTX 560 Ti, hd6950
The Tech Report, who hasn't been having a problem with Skyrim on their i5-750 system, tried out six mid-range cards to determine the best settings to provide decent performance. Following their new practice they do not measure frame rate but rather frame time, to find a level of performance where the frames are drawn in a consistent manner instead of varying from 100ms for one frame to 5ms for the next. Take a look and see how well these mid-range cards can manage the latest Elder Scrolls game.
"We've followed up our look at Battlefield 3 performance with a similar comparison of mid-range graphics cards in The Elder Scrolls V: Skryim."

Trim the memory and crank the voltages; MSI's R6950 Twin Frozr III PE
Subject: Graphics Cards | October 17, 2011 - 12:09 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: R6950 1GB Twin Frozr III Power Edition, msi, hd6950, factory overclocked
The MSI R6950 1GB Twin Frozr III Power Edition is a bit of an odd duck. While it comes with MSI's custom cooler, the Twin Frozr III, and a 50MHz overclock on both the RAM and GPU, it sports only 1GB of GDDR5 which is half of what a reference card possesses. On the other hand MSI has given you direct control over the voltages being fed to the GPU, memory and VDDCI, overclockers might find themselves more interested than they might have thought at first. [H]ard|OCP compared it to a reference 2GB HD6950 and only saw issues with the smaller memory size when enabling anti-aliasing on games which did not support FXAA or MLAA, apart from that there was little real impact from having 1GB of RAM. On the other hand the overclocking showed a lot of potential, though [H] did feel that they could have pushed the card further with updated MSI Afterburner overclocking software.
"Today we will be looking at a 1GB Radeon HD 6950 from MSI sporting its latest cooling innovation, the Twin Frozr III. Will 1GB of VRAM constrain the Twin Frozr III, or will Triple Over-Voltage support give it enough boost to soar past a 2GB HD 6950 and GeForce GTX 570?"

The new Sapphire Toxic HD6950 is [H]ard core
Subject: Graphics Cards | August 30, 2011 - 02:45 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: toxic, sapphire, hd6950
To get the bad news out of the way first, as Josh observed last week the stocks of HD6950 and 6970s are sparse, so you if you see the Sapphire Toxic HD6950 for sale grab it right away!
Why should you grab the card without hesitation? It has Sapphire's Vapor Chamber cooling and comes with an 80MHz GPU clock and 50MHz GDDR5 overclock right out of the box and [H]ard|OCP hit 978MHz GPU and 1450MHz GDDR5 using Sapphire's TriXX OC Utility to boost the frequency and voltage. You don't even have to worry about flashing the BIOS to make the card an HD6970, Sapphire did it for you, plus there is also a BIOS available which will set the +20% to PowerTune automatically. This is the most serious GPU for under $300 right now.
"SAPPHIRE claims to have produced the fastest HD 6950 on the market in the SAPPHIRE HD6950 TOXIC Edition. It competes with a stock Radeon HD 6950 and an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570. We also put it to the test against a Radeon HD 6970 and GeForce GTX 580 with results that might shock you. And did we mention you get two free games?"

Sapphire's custom cooled HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 DiRT 3 Special Edition
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 28, 2011 - 03:22 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: sapphire, HD6950 2GB DiRT 3 Special Edition, hd6950
The HD6950 is a fairly mature card, which means that the top tier partners have had time to perfect their designs and implement functional improvements. Sapphire chose to customize the cooler on their DiRT 3 Special Editon HD6950, which [H]ard|OCP took advantage of to focus on overclocking. Sapphire's TRIXX Tweak Utility played a big part in their testing, especially when overvolting the card. Check out the full review here.
"Overclocking a video card provides a better gameplay experience, or so every enthusiast hopes. Today we have the Sapphire HD 6950 2GB DiRT 3 Special Edition on our gaming rig to see how well it performs and overclocks using Sapphire's TRIXX Tweaking utility. Will this overclock yield a better gameplay experience?"

The PowerColor HD6950 features a unique cooler
Subject: Graphics Cards | July 22, 2011 - 01:00 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, hd6950, powercolor, 6950 PCS+ Vortex 2
We have seen non-standard HD6950's with dual fans before, but not quite in the way that PowerColor implemented them. The fans can slide in and out of their shrouds, not only for cleaning but also to fine tune the way that they cool the card. Hardware Heaven managed a rather decent overclock on the card, hitting 908MHz on the GPU and 1496MHz GDDR5. The full list of features reads like a dream, copper block with thick heatpipes, dual BIOS, aluminium fins, solid capacitors, ferrite core chokes and DrMos, probably why this card costs a wee bit more than your average card.
"Today we will be putting the 6950 PCS+ Vortex 2 and its unique cooler through a selection of real world gaming, multimedia and GPU computing tasks to see how it stacks up against some of the best competitor cards on the market."

While Cypress Mountain hurriedly trucked in snow and scrambled to assemble enough scaffolding to accommodate the however many thousands of spectators for the Vancouver Olympics, Baker locals cracked a beer and lined the fences of the 25th annual Legendary Banked Slalom. Every year, Gwyn and Amy Howat (the women in the spotlight in regard to all things Baker) put on a show like no other and for 25 years now, it is the one contest in snowboarding that grows exponentially in legitimacy while showcasing the skill of the simple act of riding a snowboard without ever really leaving the ground. Yes, there's an old joke stating that the only thing considered "slow" about snowboard racing is its death (which is really funny when in the right context), however, the Baker Banked is not to be considered just a mere "race." It is the only event in the history of snowboarding (some may say in the history of sport, actually) in which a 10 year old, a 70 year old and some of the best 20 or 30 something year old snowboarders on earth can test their mettle on the exact same setup. Think about it. Gwyn actually said that during the awards ceremony and thankfully, I wrote it down to use later. I don't remember the last time that I wrote anything down that Pat Parnell said. Case in point.
The three days at Baker were a mixture of different weather patterns, each changing seemingly by the hour, but no one really cared. It had been just about a full year since many competitors and spectators alike had seen each other and they spent time before their runs and in between heats talking over a hot plate of smoked salmon and a cup of cider. Riders like Josh Dirksen, Bryan Fox, Temple Cummins, DCP, Tom Burt, Barrett Christy, Zach Leach, Rob Kingwill, Forest Bailey, Shayne Pospisil, Maelle Ricker, Lucas Debari, Matt Edgers, Megan Pischke, Blair Habenicht, Scotty Wittlake, Curtis Ciszek, Tucker Andrews, Jason and Aaron Robinson, Maria Debari and many more showed up to win this year, as well as almost all of the local Baker crowd, who, in my opinion, are some of the best people in any mountain town I've ever had the pleasure of acquainting myself with. Personally, I was pulling for one of those dudes to take the win. With all due respect to the boardercross crowd, I like going to Baker and seeing someone with a natural ability to ride that course take home the golden duct tape trophy. Call it ignorant if you will, but I'm not down with those who spend hours in the gym every day cramming a medicine ball into their guts and measuring their heart rate winning the Baker Banked. It's just not what it represents to me. Regardless, at the end of the three days, the crowd packed into the lodge to hear the final tally, and they got what they came for.
Gig Harbor, Washington's Temple Cummins edged out Squamish, BC's Rob Fagan and Pat Holland (brother of 2009 champ and five-time X Games gold medalist Nate Holland) for his 4th title (only Terje has won more Baker Banked titles with 5 wins), and the lodge filled with applause and shook with excitement. I won't lie, I was on the edge of my seat and when Temple's name was announced, I somehow chalked up another one for snowboarding. (For the record, I have no idea what that last sentence meant. I just felt that way.) I guess I was just relieved to hear that Temple won again, because, well, Temple's a legend. He's an integral figure in snowboarding, and not just in the Northwest, and the people up there have as much pride in their locals placing in the Banked Slalom as Boston does its coveted Red Sox. I guess people just like to see one of their own win, and Temple is most definitely one of their own in Baker.
The rest of the podiums were announced with Maelle Ricker taking the win for the women with Marni Yamada in second and Glacier, WA's own Maria Debari. The rest of the results are listed below, and you can be sure that there's an exclusive video being edited right now that will be on snowboardermag.com shortly, so remember to check back for all the highlights of the 25th annual Legendary Banked Slalom from Mt. Baker, Washington.

I love the concept and the overall objective for the AutoExec. The grip on the top is awesome, the opening under for storage is adequate but for my 2 cents the option of no file storage on the end to give more length of storage underneath for lap top and printer would be better and file storage by the door is easier to see files,like one of the other units. Im hoping I can buy a printer small enough to fit in it. The color for this unit works great for my car although a black would have been nice or tan. the height could be a couple inches taller it doesn't clear my gear shaft so the pull out tray is useless for me and it is too unstable. Bottom line I love it and I don't think they ask me to help design it.
