I write about enterprise innovation.
When I first bought an iPhone I thought: How beautiful and sleek – in fact the phone was so sleek it kept sliding out of my hand. Like most people who do not carry a handbag, I had to buy an ugly, black, plastic cover to stop me dropping it. My iPhone resided inside that case where nobody could see its sleek, rounded edges. To my surprise those edges made up part of the recent Apple vs Samsung infringement action. I say surprised but I mean astonished – how can anybody win a billion bucks for a design error? Or for that matter for being a trend setter?
But dare I say it – I rarely see an iPhone that is not encased. I rarely see one that is not hidden from view because of its impractical form (and wasn't Steve Jobs promising free covers to help overcome a mic (sorry antenna)-design defect two years ago?) Still, it is a design icon and there is a cost of iconic status. People copy you, defects and all. Apple's inability to deal with that should get us asking questions about its liberal arts credentials.
If Apple had really been in the design business then they'd have seen Samsung's copy as sheer flattery (at least at the trade dress level) and moved on to the next iteration. Design is fashion, a peculiar form of intellectual property that wavers and transforms by the season.
In Brussels right now you can buy Pierre Marcolini's autumn collection of chocolates. Since Marcolini began making single estate chocs, combining them with ingredients like Earl Grey tea, that fashion has swept through the chocolate making business. His neat idea of copying the seasonal element of fashion is also out there and copied. Marcolini is no longer alone in launching seasonal sweets.
But that's trivial you might say…. not to Pierre though, I'm sure. And that is the central issue with ideas and designs. To a degree, they are shared property. On the bigger stage, in the fashion business, Zara is a b-school case study in how to copy catwalk design and to get them into the shop, pronto. Zara in fact has built a new retail business model around being deft enough with color and shape not to be a total copycat but to get close enough that buyers crave its goods, while the original is still fresh in people's minds.
When the Duchess of Cambridge wears blue, knitted, shops fill with blue, knitted. Chinese car manufacturers are upbraided for copying the designs of western car makers. But take a look at the new Audis. Audi is the up and coming design house in autos but I happen to think their latest shapes are a rip off of Mercedes. There's only so many ways you can do four wheels and a cabin (or cockpit I guess we should say).
Design is not invention. It arises from a common pool of creativity. I happen to think Apple's icon designs are superlative but no more so than Chris Bangle's designs for BMW – now take a close look at Opel, which are as similar to BMW as Audi are to Mercedes and not just because Opel designers finally know how to do curves – more importantly they have the technology to bend the metal like BMW does.
Apple deserves no kudos for taking the trade dress fight to the courts. Maybe if they were a bunch of losers whose design advantage had been unfairly appropriated and now they had no cash for the kids' school fees, then there would be a cause for sympathy. But this is is the most valuable company in history. Mr Cook. Move on. Create.

Will Apple's Latest Move Against Samsung Seriously Trash Its Reputation?
Apple, A Monopoly? It Could Happen.
Design is important. It is a fashion. Win for apple is win for us. Now other company will have to design some thing better and more slick than Apple. Do you like to have the phone look all alike?
You like communist in the pass. Every body dress the same green color. Just look at picture of North Korean and China 30 years ago.
did you ever wondered why every patent has a price?
i-phone has the shape of a 1960′s transistor radio… lol sheeple will fall for any new fad … :P
Dumb-Dumb's… baaaa,baaaaaa…… :P
Don't all iphones look alike? Is that communists too?
That's not an argument, that's an opinion. Get off of here troll.
gtfo. you reasoning is invalid. and you know why.
Most Bmw/Volvo/Honda…..etc,etc look alike…..Duh!!
If anyone is dumb it would be you. Why is it fine for Apple to copy pretty much most of the technologies in the Iphone but when others do it, they have to sue to stop other from touching your stolen goods. Sounds pathetic. Apple keeps claiming that they invent, I don't see any inventions, just stolen ideas that they patent. The patent system is what is wrong here. Also, I doubt Apple will ever really see the 1 billion dollars from Samsung since this will continue all the way up the appeal process and hopefully a more level headed judge will throw this out. Do a youtube video search on "Embrace the remix" which is a TED talk and you will see what I am talking about.
It is not competition if the competitor is selling stolen goods but cheaper, now is it? If Samsung were to compete honestly, they would have to invest time and money on designing a user-interface to interact with the phone. By not doing it, they were able to market their products sooner; lending undue disadvantage to Apple for they had to spend time and money to come up with a good interface.
Your article smacks of communism because you are trying to justify Samsung's action because Apple is rich enough – in fact it is the most valued tech company in the world.
How copying is more competition?
That's not competition. Competition is the companies that makes phones that do not have the look and feel of an iPhone. There are many out there, most made by Samsung. Now Samsung is #2, because the copied the iPhone. Not competition, theft.
I love younger men. I have dated only men at least 5 years younger and as much as 10 years younger than me for many years. I love the energy and a nice tight bod. Older men just aren't the same, different mentality. I seem to have more in common with younger guys. They're actually more fun and are usually more interested in me. I'm flattered. I think younger men like cougars because they have no agenda, don't usually want to get married and are usually very independent and don't need a man to take care of them. I meet younger men on the site named Co ugar loving/co/m
Except the case involves patent infringement. How could Apple ever have gotten away with patenting a shape or a color covered under prior art?
So the Samsung devices have completely different internals and user interface from the Apple offerings, the operating system isn't at issue since Samsung didn't develop it, but licensed it from Google. That leaves the fact that the Samsung products look similar to the Apple products…? This was a lawsuit about patent infringement, not copyright infringement. So how exactly did Apple ever get a patent on a general shape or a color in the first place?
Haydn, you have two heads and two arms etc. Looks like you ripped off the rest of 6 billion people on this planet.
You mean like Apple's apparent effort to block all opensource Android mobile phones off the market if they could? So that they could dictate what people could have in their personal phone?
I partially agree with sachinm
You should know that
Every patent has a price, it's decided by the patent office based on the invention.
I wonder did Apple asked samsung to pay for the patent they hold? if yes I didn't hear that? and why samsung refused?
couldnt agree more!!!
Sue Google for selling you stolen property
No android phone has the feel of an iphone. Samsung made one phone that look similar ONLY if configured in a specific way to an iphone of that era. Out of the box they looked nothing a like.
Non-sense. Android is not a stolen product. the iphone and iOS is.
Every innovation of man is a derivative of other ideas or ways of doing things. Samsung took a look at what they perceived at the time was doing well in the market and attempted to emulate (not copy) that success. apple would not have cared if Android based platforms were not kicking their teeth in for world wide market share.
What I read is Apple asked for $35 per phone just for the 'bounce back' effect when scrolling and getting to the end of a list view. I think we can all agree that that one feature is clearly not worth $35… and thus Samsung refused to pay for it.
Not saying that gives them the right to just copy.. but that's a pretty easy fix with a minor software update I would think.
"cough cough"
"cough cough…we got paid by Apple for our ideas"
Fixed that for you.
Bullchit. There is STILL and open lawsuit by Xerox for failure to pay for the GUI CrApple Stole! In fact Xerox reminded the press just three years ago that Jobs NEVER gave Xerox the shared in Apple he had promised. Stuff that in your CrAppleTard pocket, liar.
Half Knowledge is dangerous to your reputation. There is no law suit any more. Xerox filed a lawsuit against Apple claiming Apple had infringed copyrights Xerox held on its GUIs. Xerox had invited the Macintosh design team to view their GUI computers at the PARC research lab; these visits had been very influential on the development of the Macintosh GUI. Xerox's lawsuit appeared to be a defensive move to ensure that if Apple v. Microsoft established that "look and feel" was copyrightable, then Xerox would be the primary beneficiary, rather than Apple. The Xerox case was dismissed, for a variety of legal reasons
@ashusharmaa: Well said !!
bs. Not all Apple's patent is valid due to prior art. You will see that it will be invalidated in the near future.
Xerox invested $1 million in 100,000 shares of Apple. One year later, they had $18 million. I'm not sure where you get your info, but fact it isn't.
Xerox got the good end of that bargain — they have Apple the technology they didn't know how to put into a commercial product. Apple did that instead, and they turned their $1m into 18m.
Obviously, the design for two arms has been in public domain for several million years…
In modern society, patents and copyright exist to allow the person who invested talent and labour to benefit from his/her investment.
Calling out your own comments? That does smack of communism…but maybe that happens automatically by the Forbes system.
Of more interest is whether you read the verdict, Haydn. Was it really all about the exterior shape of the phone?
Communism? I don't know about that.
But If Andy Rubin was able to rewrite iOS in to Android and get away with it…May be it's ok to rewrite Rowlings books in another language and pocket all the money with out paying a red cent to her too. ( think about it…its not exact word for word!!)
Is what I am hearing.
Maybe she would be "Flatered" too.
What copying? Apple just managed to patent most of the things that were prior art therefore some of their patents should be invalidated.. Innovation involves on developing existing ideas (prior art) and making it better.
A bike nowadays can have many sellers and producers yet its key design holds two wheels and a frame, and this applies to almost anything and everything. The problem with Apple is that they don't apparently see that some designs should be universal (color and shape) and that some designs aren't, for example round edges on anything prevent irritation and yet location of cameras and charger size and just in turn what responds to said charger inside of the phone. This article doesn't wreak of communism but the purist form of capitalism in a just way. A grocery store, in their humble splendor, is still a grocery store to every other grocery store in the world. And yet, we don't burst anything apart because of it. This "patent" infringement should have been a no-brainer, should have been… also, sir, the most valued "tech" company is above all else either by software status: Windows or Linux (both serve almost all government infrastructure to the cyber world as well as treatment.) and for actual hardware: Dell (they provide hardware for said countries as services i.e. every level of the medical field. Apple is not really anything big, except to the masses.
yesterday the decision was made that apple won? why is this conversation being repeated I wonder, the news hit wired first, then i think fotune, then forbes.
I wonder why is this a debate, companies get sued lots of time, so what? Even if we look into current cases in court there will be a lot of them open awaiting trial for MSFT/GOOGLE/NEC/MOTOROLA/HP/DELL/APPLE/IBM then why this case is so interesting?
Seriously! You must be in Alaska and had a brain freeze. You read the entire article, did you not? Case closed. That is not to say author has a valid point. As I pointed in a post below, beautiful babies get wrapped in ugly blankets all the time, it just makes sense to protect them, so is your mobile phone.mi love apple designs, but loved T- mobile, so am stuck with Android for now. Even that is in a cheap $5 casing from amazon.
But come upgrade time, October 4th, or if apple stock hits $850, I can splurge on an unlocked liPhone 5 cash money and stay on T -mobile.
Otherwise, Sprint, you ugly duckling, here I come. Simply coz I love your data plan, but hate hate HATE your customer service. Hope I never need it.
This case set a precedence for an entire industry. By validating that trade dress is patent-able and can carry ridiculous damages for something that was not original or truly invented by the patent holder, effectively holds and entire industry hostage to potential monetary or business level extortion.
I wonder how many of us when choosing an iPhone think, well that looks very much like the Apple one or the Nokia one even though it's a whatever one. We buy something that catches the eye and does the job. Whether it has rounded corners or square corners really does'nt factor in to it. Small parts of designs are being remodelled or reinvented all the time as there is always going to be a limit as to how many ways something can be done.
Well to most of us it's a cellphone which does the job! Secondly remaining the question of who designs better well that's consumers choice!
Interms of limits, some of us think there are no limits to a design. The next version just keeps or getting better, maybe even totally different!
Ask Samsung, is it worth billion(s)? There is always number to compare before and after they copy Apple.
have you heard of office of fair trading mate?
Granted that Samsung copied Apple but everyone knows (even fanboys of both sides) some of Apple's patents should be invalidated due to prior art.
FACT:everyone copies everyone even Apple!
Beautiful people do not walk around naked. People who buy ugly casings are to blame and not apple. In the end everybody knows what is under that ugly casing, just like a pearl is under an ugly shell. I wonder if you will still have yor writing job tomorrow morning.
That's true. Designing a phone that slips out of your hand is not smart. But for me, iPhone size is just enough to make it easier to grab. Bigger than that, I think it will difficult even to hold it by one hand. And I think most people using casing for their phone (not just iPhone) because there is always risk to drop it. So it's to protect from the drop. Or from dust. Not to avoid slip.

3-D contour plot
[C,h] = contour3(...)
contour3 creates a 3-D contour plot of a surface defined on a rectangular grid.
contour3(Z) draws a contour plot of matrix Z in a 3-D view. Z is interpreted as heights with respect to the x-y plane. Z must be at least a 2-by-2 matrix that contains at least two different values. The number of contour levels and the values of contour levels are chosen automatically based on the minimum and maximum values of Z. The ranges of the x- and y-axis are [1:n] and [1:m], where [m,n] = size(Z).
contour3(Z,n) draws a contour plot of matrix Z with n contour levels in a 3-D view.
contour3(Z,v) draws a contour plot of matrix Z with contour lines at the values specified in vector v. The number of contour levels is equal to length(v). Specifying the vector v sets the LevelListMode to manual to allow user control over contour levels. To display a single contour line at a particular value, define v as a two-element vector with both elements equal to the desired contour level. For example, to draw a single contour of level i, use contour3(Z,[i i]).
contour3(X,Y,Z), contour3(X,Y,Z,n), and contour3(X,Y,Z,v) draw contour plots of Z using X and Y to determine the x- and y-axis limits.
If X and Y are vectors, then the length of X must equal the number of columns in Z and the length of Y must equal the number of rows in Z.
If X and Y are matrices, then their sizes must equal the size of Z.
If X or Y is irregularly spaced, then contour3 calculates contours using a regularly spaced contour grid, and then transforms the data to X or Y.
contour3(...,LineSpec) draws the contour lines using the line type and color specified by LineSpec. contour3 ignores marker symbols.
contour3(axes_handle,...) plots into the axes with the handle axes_handle instead of into the current axes (gca).
[C,h] = contour3(...) returns a contour matrix, C, that contains the data that defines the contour lines, and a handle, h, to an array of handles to graphics objects. The clabel function uses contour matrix C to label the contour lines. The graphic objects that contour3 creates are patch objects, or if you specify a LineSpec argument, line objects.
Set up matrices X and Y using the meshgrid function. Plot 30 contours of matrix Z.
x = -2:0.25:2; [X,Y] = meshgrid(x); Z = X.*exp(-X.^2-Y.^2); contour3(X,Y,Z,30)
If you do not specify LineSpec, the functions colormap and caxis control the color.
Label the contour lines using clabel.
contour3(...) works the same as contour(...) with these exceptions:
The contours are drawn at their corresponding Z level.
Multiple patch or line objects are created instead of a contourgroup.
Calling contour3 with trailing property-value pairs is not allowed.
contour | contourc | contourf | contourgroup properties | meshc | meshgrid | surfc

If you are planning a 2013 China tour some dates that are useful to know are dates to avoid, such as "Golden Week" and other times when flights to Asia and within China are very expensive. Here is the lowdown (ordered by the size) to help you plan your vacation.
Period: September 20 – October 10 in 2013; September 29 - October 10 in 2014
Almost all Chinese people will have a seven-day holiday at the beginning of October, because of the celebration of Chinese National Day. Generally speaking most Chinese people will take this government-given opportunity to travel to domestic cities, causing crowds everywhere and very busy traffic. Hotel and transport prices are increased, leading to high-budget travel during this period.
In 2013 the tourist peak of Chinese National Holiday will last from September 23 to October 14. China Highlights suggests you avoid this period when planning a tour of China in 2013 (and consider avioding a similar period in future years).
With crowds everywhere, traffic will be very busy, and you will spend longer on the road. Booking of hotels and flights can be very difficult (early confirmation is highly recommended if you decide to travel during this period). Hotels are much more expensive. You may need to wait in line for about one hour to enter the popular attractions, and may need to wait for a long time at restaurants. Traveling during this period is a matter needing thorough preparation.
You might notice that the National Day ends at October 7, but we include the following week in this peak period. The transport networks are most crowded during the period from September 23 to October 7, though they are less crowded in the week following "the Golden Week", when hotels charge peak prices.
Also read Top Places to Escape the "Golden Week" Crowds.
Period: April 26 – May 4 in 2013; April 28 - May 4 in 2014
As with Chinese National Day holiday, the Labor Day holiday period should be avoided when planning a tour of China in 2013 (and consider avoiding a similar period in future years).
Though the holiday only lasts three days (from April 29 to May 1 in 2013, from May 1 to May 3 in 2014), the tourist peak will last from April 26 to May 4. The crowds at attractions, high travel costs, long waiting times, and busy transportation during this period may make your tour to China frustrating.
Period: January 26 – March 6 in 2013, January 16 - February 24 in 2014
In China there is a period of time with congested transportation everywhere, especially in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and other big tourist cities — this is the Spring Festival rush.
The Spring Festival rush lasts 40 days, and in 2013 it lasts from January 26 to March 6. However, there are five days that are recommended for traveling between domestic cities during these 40 days: the first five days of the new year (February 10 – 14 in 2013). During these days, most Chinese people will stay at home for family time and the Spring Festival celebration, which lightens the pressure on transportation and presents you with possiblely easier-than-usual travel conditions. Remember that cheap flight tickets are available during these five days!
In 2013 one of the most congested period on China's transport will be January 26 – February 8, when people are homeward bound. Another busy time will be February 15 – March 6, when millions of migrant workers and college students rush back to their work places and colleges. So traveling in China during these periods is likely to be challenge.
Period: Februay 9 – March 31 in 2013, March in 2014
According to past years' trends, Tibet is likely to be closed to foreign travelers during the Tibetan New Year period. In 2012, the first day of Tibetan New Year fell on February 22, and Tibet was closed from February 20 to March 31 (check out the news). In 2013, the first day of Tibetan New Year is February 11, so it is forecasted that Tibet will be unavailable to foreign travelers from February 9 to March 31.

Hi Mia, is your time fixed or can be changed? Beijing and Hong Kong are both very hot in July. Is it okay for you? If your time is fixed, we will arrange some places not so hot for you. If it can be shifted to late September or October, then it would be perfect.Whitney Liao replied on 2013-06-03
Hi Evelyn, no problem to put the itinerary together. What kind of hotel would you like to stay in: 3/4/5 star? How long will you stay in China, please?Whitney Liao replied on 2013-05-28
Hi Maureen, you can fly to Guilin from HK, after the tour in Guilin, take train or air to Guiyang. When would you like to start the tour, please? Do you need us to propose an itinerary for you? How long will you stay in China? Besides these places, any other places or attractions you would like to visit?Whitney Liao replied on 2013-04-25

The Eagle-Tribune
---- — LAWRENCE — A lone woman sat in the driver's seat of a black Infiniti sedan, parked at the corner of Ridge Road and Oakwood Avenue at 2 p.m.
Five minutes later — unaware that local, state and federal officers were watching her — a man driving a green Toyota Sienna minivan pulled in front of the Infiniti and parked. The woman got of her car and hopped in the van, spending just 20 seconds inside and then returning to her car.
Police arrested both drivers minutes later after seeing firsthand a "hand to hand street level drug transaction," according to a report by Lawrence Police Detective Robert LeFebre.
This bust in the city's Prospect Hill neighborhood last Wednesday, was part of a two-day narcotics sweep involving Lawrence police, state troopers, sheriff's officers, federal agents and U.S. Marshals. The sweep, conducted during national Red Ribbon Week, resulted in 31 arrests, the majority drug-related, in Lawrence. Heroin, cocaine and prescription drugs were seized along with cash.
During the sweep last Wednesday and Thursday, the officers made undercover narcotics purchases and arrests, served arrest warrants, saturated "known drug areas" and executed three search warrants, according to Lawrence Police Capt. Roy Vasque, commander of the department's special operations division.
Red Ribbon Week honors slain DEA agent Enrique Camarena who died on Feb. 7, 1985 after he was tortured and murdered while on assignment in Mexico. Camarena, whose nickname was "Kiki," was a Mexican undercover agent who worked for the DEA.
Vasque, in his report, wrote "Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest drug prevention campaign in the country" and allows communities to make a commitment to drug prevention, education and "a personal commitment to live drug free lives with the ultimate goal being the creation of a drug free America.
In the Ridge Road incident, the woman involved, Janine Watson, 34, of Rye, N.H. , tried to hide a bag of cocaine in her crotch and heroin in her shirt, police said. Her alleged dealer, Hector Luis Cruz, had nearly $1,000 in his van and his pockets when arrested by police.
When police went to arrest Cruz, he put something in his mouth. But he refused to tell police what it was.
"However, this type of behavior is common with drug traffickers and buyers alike when attempting to swallow or hide narcotics from law enforcement," LeFebre wrote. "An unsucessful attempt to recover what Cruz threw in his mouth was made."
At the police station, Sgt. Maurice Aguiler asked Cruz if he needed medical attention. Cruz declined and said, "I did not swallow any drugs. My life is more important than that."
The following people were among those arrested on narcotics charges during the Red Ribbon sweep:

The result is a fresh new take on the original that allows Donavon's envied lifestyle to ooze sweetly through the speakers, giving a completely new sound to favorites like "It Don't Matter" and "Free".

Every year, High School students all over North America from California to Texas to Canada are looking forward to coming to Boston for the annual Berklee High School Jazz Festival, the largest event of its kind in the United States. Competing for $175,000 in scholarships to various Berklee summer programs, each school will be performing in either competing or non-competing categories for different awards, judged by a panel of Berklee's top faculty who will give them a written critique of their performance.
The competitions between schools are not the only events going on during the festival. Renowned Berklee alumni such as drummer Kendrick Scott '02, who appeared on soundtracks to seven feature films, and saxophonist Hailey Niswanger '11, who has played all over the globe, including the 2011 Panama Jazz Festival, will be performing and giving clinics. Berklee ensembles will also be performing throughout the day. The Tower of Power Ensemble will go live at 4:00 p.m. and the P-Funk Ensemble. The day concludes with award presentations at 6:00 p.m. and the winners showcase at 7:30 p.m.
The event is free, open to the public, and taking place at the Hynes Convention Center from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. I would highly recommend coming by to listen to over 3,000 talented high school students performing for the opportunity to attend Berklee's Five-Week Summer Program. Even as a musician who is not studying jazz here at Berklee, I'm definitely excited to see young talent from all over the country convening in Boston to show off their skills. It's always interested to see if any of these talented students head to study at Berklee after their festival experiences. Hope to see you there!

Working with images
It's an understatement to say that images are crucial to news organizations. Because of their central role, Newscoop has a powerful and user-friendly media archive for storing, retrieving and reusing images in the administration interface. Newscoop's template language can access images in a number of different ways, and the output can be sent to web pages, to jQuery slideshows or other channels (see the chapter Image galleries with jQuery for more on that).
In this chapter, we'll look at how Newscoop templates work with images, image attributes and metadata. According to the Newscoop template reference, "The image object is usually initialized inside a list of article images or a list of images. It is not initialized at the beginning of the template and cannot be initialized by other Newscoop functions." In other words, images must be used through lists or through articles.
You can make use of images through the article object, like when the current article has one or more images attached. One more place where you can use an image object is with author objects. We'll go into these options in detail below. What you can't do at this point is use an image object as a single isolated element, because it has to be set first by any of the means mentioned above.
The image handling in Newscoop aims to provide more control over the images displayed in the pages at template level. The workflow goes something like this:
a) you design and create your publication, and in that process you define some fixed places where you will be presenting images.
b) you create a set of image renditions of different sizes which correspond to those fixed places.
c) you write the templates to render your pages, and in these templates you make use of the renditions.
d) then, any time you or any other editor assigns an image to a rendition, that image will be presented where defined in the template.
The process and purpose of those images is different than the images you insert within the text. You can still insert any of the uploaded images to the article via the "Insert Image" plugin in the WYSIWYG editor.
Displaying an article image
Let's start with a simple example. You have an article with only one image, and you want to display the image when the article is requested.
You can point to an image in two ways, either:
article->image1->imageurl }}" alt="{{$gimme->article->image->caption }}" />
article->image->caption }}" />
The following code snippet does more, it:
- Gets the URL for an image attached to an article
- Puts the image caption (the description) into the ALT tag
- Puts the photo description into the title tag
- Displays the photographer's name
- Displays the image caption (the description)
article->image->imageurl }}" alt="{{ $gimme->article->image->caption }}" title="{{ $gimme->article->image->description }}" />
 by {{ $gimme->article->image->photographer }}
 {{ $gimme->article->image->description }}
An example of what similar code looks like in the browser is below (taken from the "The Journal" template pack):
You can even validate whether the article has an image or not. The value passed in parentheses correspond to the image number you assign to the image when attaching it to the article.
{{ if $gimme->article->has_image(1) }} article->image->imageurl }}" /> {{ /if }}
It's also possible to access the image directly by the index number. If an image with that given index does not exist, then an empty image object is returned, and nothing will be displayed. It is good practice to first validate whether the requested image exists or not, but you already know how to do that!
article->image5->imageurl }}" />
There are more image properties you can display; we've already used some like imageurl, photographer and description, but there'll be more in the following examples. You can read the entire list in the chapter Template Objects -> Image of the Newscoop Template Reference.
Listing all images attached to an article
This is basically the same as we did before, but within a list of article images. Let's see some code:
{{ list_article_images }}
 article->image->imageurl }}" />
 Caption: {{ $gimme->article->image->caption }}
 By: {{ $gimme->article->image->photographer }}
 {{ /list_article_images }}
There's no need to use image indexes, because the list provides iteration over all images attached to the article.
Listing images from the media archive
Now the fun begins :-)
You already know how to work with image objects and how to list images attached to articles; this is very useful and will allow you to use image content all over your site.
But in specific cases you'll probably want to display images not necessarily related to articles. Remember that Newscoop provides a Media Archive (read more about it in the Newscoop 4 for Journalists and Editors manual), and every image you attached to an article is stored there.
The Newscoop template language provides a function to build lists of images according to different criteria. Let's say you want to build a list of images from a specific photographer. This code snippet can:
- Get a list of images where the photographer name is John Doe
- Order the images by the last update
- Get the images themselves based on their URLs
- Get the image captions (descriptions)
{{ list_images photographer=" John\ Doe" order="byLastUpdate" }} image->imageurl }}" />

{{ $gimme->image->description }}
 {{ /list_images }}
Now here's list of images where the string "Prague" is present:
{{ list_images caption_like="Prague" order="byPhotographer" }} image->imageurl }}" />

{{ $gimme->image->caption }}
 {{ /list_images }}
There are many other criteria you can use. A detailed list can be found in the Newscoop Template Reference in the List Images chapter.
Newscoop automatically generates a 64-pixel-wide thumbnail for every image when the image file is uploaded into the Media Archive. Displaying a thumbnail is as easy as this:
image->thumbnailurl }} />
Author picture
The author object has the property picture, which is an image object, so that you can use it exactly as an article image. There's more on this in the chapter Managing multiple authors and articles in this Cookbook.
Scaling in percent and absolute size
Images in Newscoop are only stored in two different sizes: the original size and the automatically generated thumbnail. Usually it is necessary to display those images in a different size than those two available, so Newscoop provides a simple way to do this on the fly:
image->imageurl }}&ImageRatio=70" />
Here we just specified a ratio equal to 70, which means the image will be resized to 70 percent of its original size. You also have the option to provide an specific width or height value.
image->imageurl }}&ImageWidth=350&ImageHeight=310" />
Any image provided by $gimme can be scaled as shown above, including the thumbnail and author pictures. The logic of how Newscoop processes the values when both width and height are provided (and even the ratio) at the same time is explained, with more examples, in the wiki page: http://wiki.sourcefabric.org/x/c4EH
Falling back to a smaller image
Sometimes the largest image submitted by the journalist may not be large enough, in pixels, for the main rendition of the article. In that case, we don't want to show a blank area instead of the image, so we can fall back to displaying a small image instead:
{{ capture name="image" }} {{ image rendition="big" }}  {{ /image}} {{ /capture }} {{ if ! trim($smarty.capture.image) }} {{ capture name="image" }} {{ image rendition="small" }}  {{ /image }} {{ /capture }} {{ /if }} {{ $smarty.capture.image }}

The smart integration features of the BPM-X converter tool allows to import and export Visio® 2013 diagrams and models from all leading EA and BPM tools as ARIS®, ProVision®, IBM Rational® System Architect or many others like the testing suite HP ALM (QualityCenter®). Also the models can be published to Microsoft SharePoint® using SharePoint® Visio® Services.
(PRWEB) July 11, 2014
BPM-X develops and globally markets the BPM-X software suite for transformation, conversion and exchange of business process models and enterprise architecture models between many different tools, formats or standards. BPM-X now supports a bi-directional integration of Microsoft Visio 2013 to read and write the new Visio 2013 (.vsdx) file format.
Using BPM-X tools allows organizations to integrate Visio® with tools such as: Software AG ARIS® Business Architect, OpenText ProVision®, IBM Rational® System Architect or many other: Enterprise Architecture (EA), Business Process Analysis (BPA) or Business Process Management Systems (BPMS). Now, business analysts or architects can facilitate the import of existing diagrams and mass import legacy Visio diagrams into their leading repository. The import is done by a BPM-X Analyzer for Visio tool that reads existing Visio diagrams and generates a configuration that can be fine-tuned for a mapping of a legacy diagram like Flowchart into BPMN or EPC.
Because of BPM-X sophisticated export capabilities to natively write the new Visio (.vsdx) format, Visio drawings can be created based on models and diagrams coming from tools like ARIS, ProVision, System Architect or many others. This allows organizations, system integrators or consulting firms to publish their work into the famous Visio format to share models and diagrams with business lines or customers.
By using a rules engine BPM-X has developed an add-on Designer for Visio 2013. Designer enables Visio 2013 to accomplish real modeling following the leading standards of the aforementioned tools: ARIS®, ProVision® or IBm Rational® System Architect. This allows organizations to use Designer for Visio® 2013 to map business processes while being compliant and compatible with the modeling languages of the leading tools and seamlessly accomplish bi-directional exchange of Visio diagrams with a central process or enterprise architecture repository.

We stayed in the annex apartment on the fifth floor. The elevator was broken on our arrival. The staff felt so bad they offered all 3 of us massages complimentary. What a very nice treat! And the elevator was fixed the next day!"
The people here were friendly and helpful. The sea view rooms have a great view. It isn't in town but they have a shuttle you can take which makes it pretty convenient. Only downside was some traffic noise but with the air conditioner running it was ok. I enjoyed my stay."
Couldn't asked for more considering the price, service and comfort. The only problem is the location. We were give poor advice at the information booth at the bus station. After a failed attempt to located the apartments we were helped by a man using his cell phone to call the owner, who came and picked us up in her car. Couldn't have been treated nicer. The apartments are managed by a mother, daughter, and grand daughter staff. The best way to reach the apartments are to take bus number 8 from the bus station. When on the bus and after going through the first round about and starting up a hill, get off at the third bus stop across from Tommy's grocery store. Walk back down the hill about one half block and go up the street between a pastry shop and Laguna restaurant. After a very steep uphill walk for about two blocks the apartments will be on your left. You can buy bus ticket from the bus driver. Staying here is like being taken care of by a loving mother. Clean and efficient place to stay."
We spent our first night in Croatia in Nova Galerija, and it was so good that we decided to come back for the last night also. The women at the reception were very nice and welcoming, they even went up with us just to show the room and explain. The apartment was very clean, it had everything you need - cable TV, large kitchen with a fridge and an oven, big bathroom and even a washing machine. We had a great time!! Thank you!"
Hotel was conveniently located from a 25 minute walking distance from major attractions of Zagreb. Breakfast bar was little less attractive, but understandable considering the fact its off season. Our family will choose this hotel again in our next visit."
Cook picked us up at airport, made us dinner that night. Decent menu. Very small hotel in ground floor of appartment building but ultra modern. Typically small european room. Staff even drove us to airport at 5am next day!"
Good location close to old town, but lacking parking. Checking in and receiving the key was also difficult, the office was closed at 8: PM which required using a phone and waiting for the contact to arrive. "Not as Advertised", we reserved tow one bedroom units with kitchens. On unit was complete, the other "sold" at the same price was a studio."
Gem of a find. This is exactly what I was looking for. Location was walking distance to the old town. There is a cracking restaurant at the end of the hill. Owner was very helpful. Wifi and air con apartment. Room was perfect. Would definitely stay here again."
My wife and I stayed at Super Horizont in Stobrec, just four miles outside of Split. It was a fantastic place to stay, with an absolutely stunning view, unbeatable service, and a 30 second walk down to the beach. It's a stony beach, but just spread your towels out on the flat boulder and you're like royalty! The hotelier, Miro, and his family were exceptionally helpful, which is an important resource when you don't know your way around the city, country, language, etc. They're awesome. Miro was even so kind to get in touch beforehand and arrange a pickup from the airport. Incredible. The village of Strobrec was perfect. Being just a touch outside of Split (only a super easy 10 minute bus ride to downtown and port) was something we enjoyed because the atmosphere is soft, laid back, and there are so many amazing restaurants. Strolling out at night to choose from a galaxy of authentic Croatian restaurants was a highlight. And laying on the balcony with some local beers, a book, and the view was pretty much the best thing in the world. Geographically, Split was perfect for us, as we traveled while were in Croatia, but we never checked out of Horizont. It was our staging ground. The port in Split will take you to a variety of islands and the ferries are very cheap and always on time. Hvar is architecturally stunning with a lot of energy, while Brac (specifically the city of Bol) has one of the best beaches I've ever seen and a way chilled out attitude. You gotta go!"
Guesthouse Tea Hvar has lovely, comfortable rooms in the attic, a convenient kitchen and living room area and nice balcony with beautiful view. The owners are very accommodating. Be aware if you have much luggage that the stairs are a big challenge, but it is worth it for the view. It's a bit of a walk to Hvar Town's centre but thus also nice and quiet."
My one-night stay there was fine. the property is easier to find from Hvar city side than from the Stari Grad side, but just look for the Apartmani Tudor sign on the main road. It is a steep descent to the hotel. All the hotels in the immediate area have Tudor in their name (apparently one large extended family owns everything in the area). When asked, as you will be by Tudor-family passersby, to ask for directions to Tudor Villa at #10. That is the magic address."
The location of the hotel is a little farther away from the heart of Hvar, which was nice for a romantic holiday. The grounds and facilities of the hotel are beautiful and very well maintained, the staff was terrific. HOWEVER, They knew we were there on our honeymoon, and gave us a room with TWO SINGLE BEDS!! Then they moved us into a room with a double, but not in the main hotel building, and with no view. It was unfortunate. We spent very little time in the room, so it wasn't all that bad!"

The original members of Dinosaur Jr. will reunite after fifteen years apart for their first national television appearance. The indie rockers will perform on CBS' The Late Late Show With Craig Ferguson on April 15th.
Vocalist/guitarist J Mascis and bassist Lou Barlow formed the band, originally called Dinosaur, in 1985 and were later joined by drummer Murph. Several seven-inches and two LPs on SST records followed before the rockers called it quits in 1989. Mascis would go on to record under the name, but without Barlow. Barlow turned to dual pursuits, Sebadoh and the Folk Implosion.
The first three Dinosaur Jr. albums -- Dinosaur, You're Living All Over Me and Bug -- were reissued last week on Merge Records.

---- — Indian wars
From the Otsego Herald
for Saturday, Dec. 26, 1812
Compiled, with comments
by HUGH C. MacDOUGALL
Weather: Utica 1812
Almanack: Clear and cold.
Brilliant Naval Exploits
The following message was received by the House of Representatives on Friday the 11th inst. [Dec.] from the President of the United States, by Mr. Coles his secretary.
To the Senate and House of Representatives of the U. States.
I transmit to congress copies of a letter to the secretary of the navy, from captain Decatur, of the frigate "United States," reporting his combat and capture of the British frigate Macedonian. Too much praise cannot be bestowed on that officer and his companions on board, for the consummate skill and conspicuous valor by which this trophy has been added to the naval arms of the United States.
I transmit, also, a letter from captain Jones, who commanded the sloop of war Wasp, reporting his capture of the British sloop of war Frolic, after a close action, in which other brilliant titles will be seen to the public admiration and praise.
A nation, feeling what it owes to itself and its citizens, could never abandon to arbitrary violence on the ocean a class of men which gives such examples of capacity and courage, in defending their rights on that element; examples which aught to impress on the enemy, however brave and powerful, a preference of justice and peace to hostility against a country whose prosperous career may be accelerated, but cannot be prevented, by the assaults made on it.
Washington, Dec. 11, 1812.
COMMENT: On October 25, 1812 the U.S. Frigate United States, commanded by Stephen Decatur (1779-1820), defeated and captured the British Frigate Macedonian. after a long and bloody battle. The British suffered 43 killed and 71 wounded, while American losses were limited to 7 killed and 5 wounded. The Macedonian, with its 38 guns, was taken into the American navy, where it remained until 1828. Stephen Decatur was one of America's first great naval heroes, but he died in 1820 in a duel with Commodore James Baron (1768-1851). The Town of Decatur, in Otsego County, is named for him.
On October 18, 1812, the U.S. Sloop-of-war Wasp, captained by Jacob Jones (1768-1850), defeated and captured the British Brig-sloop Frolic. The Americans suffered 10 casualties; the British suffered 90. Shortly thereafter the Wasp was in turn captured by the much larger British ship, H.M.S. Poictiers, and its crew taken as prisoners to Bermuda. However, the whole crew was soon released in an exchange of prisoners, Jacob Jones was then named as commander of the captured British Frigate Macedonia.
American treasury
The state of our national treasury is much more flourishing, than under the pressure and burthens of the war, we had any reason to expect. A revenue of ten millions was actually received into it during the year which ended on the 30th of September, in addition to about six millions of the loan authorized last session.
It appears that the whole of the loan has now been subscribed, in despite of the unmanly exertions of opposition to prevent it. The President thinks that the monies now in the treasury, with the current revenue, will enable government "to defray all the expenses of the year, beginning on the 1st Nov. ult."
The pecuniary pressure of war will therefore be much less felt than the most sanguine politicians ever anticipated. The people will scarcely feel it, even if the contest should be protracted to a distant period. -- Baltimore American.
Haitian invasion?
A letter from Halifax, received at Washington, asserts that PETION, one of the black Chiefs of St. Domingo, has petitioned the British government to land him in the Carolinas or some other part of the American southern Frontier, where he can form a junction with the negroes. We doubt the truth of this article, as Petion's character, so far as we have understood it, gives the lie to it. -- Albany Register
COMMENT: Alexandre Pétion (1770-1818) was President of the Republic of Haiti from 1806 until his death from yellow fever, and is considered one of Haiti's founding heroes. During much of that time, however, the northern part of Haiti was ruled over as King by Henri Christophe (1767-1820). Pétion's proposal, if it was ever made, was never acted on.
Indian wars
From the Western army -- Col. Russell with 400 men has defeated a body of 150 Indian Warriors, who defended one of their towns. [He]took the town with a great number of women and children, 80 horses, and much plunder. 4 of the warriors were taken prisoner, and 25 found dead.
COMMENT: Colonel William Russell (1758-1825) of Kentucky, where he commanded the 7th Infantry Regiment. In October 1812 he, and Illinois Territorial Governor Ninian Edwards (1775-1833), led a series of attacks which destroyed Potawatami and Kickapoo villages, and drove them from the area. This was in part as reprisal for the Potawatami massacre of soldiers and civilians in August, after they evacuated Fort Dearborn in what is now Chicago.
War maps
MAPS of the Seat of War. H. & E. PHINNEY, Jun., have just received, a few Maps of Canada, and the seat of War, colored and plain.
A quantity of Octavo, Quarto, and Common Bibles, of all prices, from 1 to 14 dollars. December 5,1812.
COMMENT: It would be nice to have copies of these maps!

On Marketing, Contributor
Views on the Business of Brands
This article is by Sara Rotman, CEO and chief creative officer, MODCo Creative.
Perhaps the biggest news within the retail industry at the moment is the sudden resignation of JC Penney's president, Michael Francis. Only eight months after taking the helm at the retail behemoth, news of Francis' abrupt departure was shocking to many.
Flashback to January 2012 – just six short months ago: In advance of the company's new ads hitting market, there was a huge feeling of excitement and positive anticipation from within the industry. We all (myself included) eagerly awaited the roll-out of the company's marketing strategy. If JC Penney's strategy proved to be successful, it would quite literally revolutionize the way in which we all consider retail promotion – which would benefit not only JC Penney, but also all other retailers moving forward.
So, what went wrong?
Industry-Consumer Disconnect
If there is one thing that JC Penney did extremely well, is was communicate its strategy clearly and boldly to the marketing industry press. Industry insiders understood the company's ambitious marketing strategy from the beginning and were downright giddy to watch Michael Francis' plans unfold. After all, the man is heralded for establishing Target's successful (and multi-billion dollar) cheap-chic image.
Given this, I think it's safe to say that the industry was more than a little bit surprised and disappointed to see such a huge disconnect between what the company had planned to communicate to consumers – and what the ads actually conveyed about the brand. Had I not been following all of the reports surrounding the brand's marketing strategy in advance of its launch, I would have been just as confused as JC Penney's core consumers once those non-consumer-friendly ads aired.
Changing the Story
To start, the core messaging that the strategy was built on was not included within the advertisements. Local in-store displays simply did not reflect the company's rebranded ethos. Then, most surprising to us all, the messaging was altered along the way. I remember seeing no less than three totally different iterations of ad campaigns during the initial relaunch. Whether this was planned or in response to consumer reaction doesn't much matter; either way, it's disconcerting as the imagery and point of view of each effort were incredibly confusing and dispirited, which is antithetical to a solid relaunch. Simply put, it appeared as though they were talking to themselves rather than to their customers – which is detrimental.
Misfiring and then making so many adjustments to a brand's relaunch messaging immediately out of the gate is devastating to consumer confidence – and making so many quick changes in succession ultimately confuses rather than strengthensa brand's image. Without consumer endorsement and understanding, a brand has very little.
Lack Of Internal Buy-in?
I believe that JC Penney has a strong desire to revitalize the brand's strategy at the top of the corporate ladder. However, there appears to have been some difficulty (and perhaps even resistance) instilling the relaunch messaging down and across all units and sectors of the company – and therein lies the huge disconnect. In order for a marketing strategy to truly be successful, everyone must be on the same page. And while I acknowledge that it's far tougher to change the direction of a large ship compared to a smaller vessel, it remains possible.
A Missed Opportunity… But Still a Chance for Something Revolutionary
It's safe to say that JC Penneymissed a huge opportunity to reinvent its image and to do something truly special for the brand. As
an industry insider, my feeling is that the company entered into the brand relaunch with the best of intentions; however, those intentions were lofty, to say the least – and it takes time to reroute a ship of this stature.
With Francis' sudden departure from the company, this missed opportunity lingers, and many question how the departure will affect the brand moving forward. JC Penney will continue to live, but moving forward, there will be far less opportunity for an innovative relaunch due to the anti-climactic misfire that the brand endured. In my opinion, a lot of money was ineffectively spent in an attempt to enhance the brand.
As it stands, CEO Ron Johnson has made the decision against hiring a replacement for Francis – which reinforces his need to dive in and be thenew brand "cheerleader." Regardless of the direction that JC Penney plans to take in future, the following remains clear: The brand needs love, fortitude and a focused vision across channels to steer such a big ship.
I disagree. JCP does have a very conservative core customer. They might not be very vocal in their opposition regarding Ellen or the homosexual ads for mother and father's day, but they will stop visiting or shopping the store. This is particularly true if the competition is competitive in the market.
Ron Johnson and Michael Francis are attempting to attract a younger, more hip, less socially conservative customer. The problem with this is that particular customer wants nothing to do with JCP. It's difficult for a company that been around over 100 yrs with a certain traditional, price value image to be accepted for something different. By going after this customer JCPenney is loosing its current customer base. A more competent strategy would be to shore up your current customer base and seek to expand where you can.
I used to be an employee of the company, and they are always attracting people who want a good deal, that has been the bottom line since they became a company. Ellen has nothing to do with customer base she is just a popular face they got to promote the brand. JCP has always been a family store homosexuals are allowed to have families too and I would rather shop at a place that welcomes everyone than only certian groups.
"Along with not having piloted their sales strategy, JCP also missed fired because they threw out their core values by having a homosexual as their company spokesperson. The families that had shopped at JCP commented to them, and stock holders even wrote to the CEO and the members of the board of directors but they were ignored."
I seriously doubt hiring Ellen DeGeneres made their marketing strategy fail. Only a small group of extreme, right-wing Christians care about Ellen. The rest of us couldn't care LESS what the sexual orientation of a celebrity on TV is.
Plus, the idea that homosexuals somehow became the opposite of "family values" is hilarious to me. So gay people don't have families, come from families, or have any values whatsoever? They just exist in this no-man's land of debauchery and hedonism, spitting in the face of children and corrupting the fabric of society? Please. You sound paranoid and out of touch.
Wl Ithink you would be wrong on some front. JC Penny's is a favorite store of the older generation. Thos ein that generation have strong famaily values. My mom always shopped at Penny's when I wasa child, bec they were far cheaper than Sears. Tose people like my mom are still alive.
Ido agree that the new YOUNGER generation won't care about Ellen, but those kits also don't shop at Penny's. So what Penny's lost is that older generation. Hiring Ellen didn't hurt? I'd say, hiring Ellen didn't help.
They could have chosen another option. Let's take Sears for example. Wouldn't it seem strange for Sears to go from Arnold Palmer, to Arnold Schwartzen-cheater? Or maybe Hertz Rent-A-Car shoudl just put OJSimpson back into commercials now too. Oh yeah, OJ was never [rpved to be the killer, that doesn't mean in the back of many minds, they didnt feel he was guilty. Maybe Chris Brown can go back for Doublemint gum. I mean, its only gum right? I mean, why not have a women-hitting-man selling your product.
Maybe Ellen doesn't matter to YOU. It doesn't matter to me either. f I see somethign at Penny's I want I will buy. But personally when Iam in the store an Isee Ellen's face, it does kinda take the fun out of why I was their.
If a "conservative customer" dropped JC Penney over its refusal to discriminate against LGBT customers, employees, suppliers and partners, you'd expect a massive increase at one of JCP's major competitors as those angry conservatives brought their business over.
Yet no retailer had any such increase whatsoever.
Anti-gay boycotts generally fail because only a small minority of very angry extremists adhere to generally homophobic views.
in malls with penneys and macys, macys sales are up. I have taken my business to kohls……
people will still buy, just not so much at penneys.
with ron johnsons <leadership:( they are self destructing as a company…
many of their customers hope what i do, ron gets fired and they try to reassemble the company similiar to what it was or they cease to exist….
You're a little tightly wound Malak. If marketing matters, JCP will need to be a little more open-minded than you are. Obviously the gay branding hurt sales. What could be more obvious? JCP customers are not the type of people who go on rampages, or chain themself to the door in protest of an unsavory game change. We just simply stop shopping there.
Of course it hurts sales. You put a well-known lesbian – who would then obviously be a liberal – as the spokesperson, that is an "in your face" to conservatives. There is no way to be neutral once you have done that.
For example, Micheal Jordan refuses to disclose his political affiliation because "Republicans buy sneakers too".
You put an Obama sign in your store window and my thought is that you don't need my business. Period. By putting someone that it openly lesbian, they are saying that they don't need conservatives' business.
What happened to JC Penny is the opposite of what happened to Chik-Fil-A.
Yes u r right…JCPenny has always been favourite shoppers point for old generation, i do remember when my mom used to buy t-shirts for me from penny as they offered great price and satisfaction. I think due direct bargains and sales at online stores these days, which is very convenient to buy and offers are great sometimes, penny is loosing the customers. Anyways it is always a great feeling to buy and wear Penney's Clothes.
As a employee of jc Penney I am still excited about the some of the changes in marketing I do think when they reduced the prices they should have let the people see the manufacturer retail prices and the new price people like to see what they save not told what they saved.

A report on an SDCC panel called "Ships of the Line."
"New Jerusalem" tells the unexpected story of two lonely men, 30-ish, and the existential crisis of one of them. He is Sean Murphy (Colm O'Leary), an Irishman who served with the U.S. National Guard in Afghanistan and is now living in Virginia. He works with Ike Evans (Will Oldham) in a used tire store in Richmond ("Tires $10 and Up"); Ike is concerned that Sean seems inward and depressed. He lingers uncertainly outside the rest room, knocks, and says, "You all right in there?"
Sean is not all right. He is in tears. Ike is one of those men with a look of perpetual concern on his face and an almost compulsive desire to be of help. He's a Christian, has been saved by Jesus, and assures Sean that Jesus will save him, too. They have a little talk about the meaning of killing in war ("It's for the cause," Sean explains), but this isn't a movie about war, it's about evangelism. Ike focuses on Sean eagerly, as a good prospect for conversion.
We see a little of their solitary lives. Sean lives in a small, basic house, hardly furnished except for a music system and a listless cat. He seems more concerned with his cat than himself. He joins Ike sometimes for lunch with some other Christian men, who solemnly pray before they eat. There are no women in the film except for a cashier in a convenience store who smooches a little with Sean, to no conclusion.
Ike takes Sean to a Sunday service of his church group, where Sean slowly begins to clap in time with a gospel tune and even forces a smile. The two men log time in coffee houses, where Sean's depression is evident, and Ike hesitantly reaches out to hold his hand. After the service, at his house, Ike washes Sean's feet. Sean's not in favor of that.
They have an argument about the efficiency of medication against Sean's depression, as opposed to being healed by Jesus. Ike seems to be controlling anger as he insists Jesus is the only way. He wants to help Sean so badly. The two performances are serious and contained; neither man seems to feel much joy.
I don't believe "New Jerusalem" takes a position in favor of either character. It's more of an intense study of these two men and their barren work in a shabby store by the side of a highway. Surprisingly, the same director and co-writer (Rick Alverson and Colm O'Leary) collaborated on another film that played not long ago at Facets, "The Comedy." Two films could not be less alike. One vulgar and heartless. Now this one, so quiet and sad.

Susan Zellers, deputy director of planning and development for the Indianapolis Airport Authority, has been named an Accredited Airport Executive (A.A.E.) by the American Association of Airport Executives (AAAE).
According to AAAE, to earn her accreditation, "Susan had to successfully complete three phases of the accreditation process: (1) pass a 180-item multiple-choice examination, (2) fulfill a writing requirement, and (3) demonstrate, in the final interview by a panel of A.A.E.s, her knowledge of airport management, business administration, and general transportation economics. Susan's achievement attests to her ability to meet these stringent requirements and his experience in managing a public airport.
"By fulfilling all the requirements leading to the title of Accredited Airport Executive, Susan joins a select group of individuals who have earned the designation in the nearly six decades of the accreditation program's existence. At present, fewer than 10 percent of AAAE's members throughout the country have earned the distinction."
Zellers has been with the IAA since 2010 and has more than 20 years of experience in aviation engineering and planning. She also holds a private pilot's license with an instrument rating.
With her accreditation, she joins IAA Executive Director Robert Duncan and Robert Spitler, IAA's director of parking operations, as IAA personnel certified as A.A.E.s.

Corsicana —
The Richland Chambers Coast Guard Auxiliary 05-16 Flotilla was awarded Silver Oar Award Bell Stand and first paddle for 2012 at its' meeting at Harbor Inn Restaurant on March 2, 2013,
The award was presented by USCG Auxiliary District 8th Coastal Region Chief of Staff, Allen Harding.
The flotilla was led by Flotilla Commander Jan Harding, one of the "charter" members of the newly formed flotilla when it was begun in 2011.
The Silver Oar program has been a part of the Coast Guard Auxiliary Eighth District Coastal Region for over 30 years and was based on the "traditional missions" including Public Education Hours, Operations Hours, Vessel Safety Checks, Program Visitor Visits, Coast Guard Support Hours, Member Training Hours, Public Affairs Missions, Qualifications and Specialty Courses, and Year end membership and qualifications
To obtain the Silver Oar award a flotilla must have attained 100 percent or more in at least 5 missions. The percentage is based on flotilla membership and so much of a percentage for each member in each mission.
In obtaining the "Silver Oar" itself is a significant accomplishment and is especially noteworthy in that 2012 was the first full year of Flotilla 5-16 at Richland Chambers Lake.
