Mar 11February Art Challenge Recap
So it's now the month of March and my February art challenge is over. I must admit, I am completely amazed that I stuck to it the whole time and didn't miss a single day. I honestly thought I would give up before the month was over, or at the very least, miss a few days. I'm pretty good at procrastination.
This project made me realise that it is possible for me to be more productive than I thought I could be. It forced me to work harder. Though there are quite a few art-poems that I'm unhappy with, as a whole, I'm really proud of myself for doing this. It makes me want to think up a new challenge for myself. Something else that I could attempt to do each day. Not sure what I'll be doing next yet.
I'm also really grateful to have gotten back into the habit of making collages. Before this, I really hadn't made a proper collage for years. Collage-making was my first love, before graphic design. It has always been one of the greatest forms of self-expression for me.
& I'd like to show you this. I was going through some of my old, old files, and I found a scan of the very first collage I ever made! I made this in 1996, when I was 12 years old. It's pretty hilarious. I was such a gothy little girl lol

3-car crash in Manchester results in arrest
Jessica Sheridan, 31, of 644 Front St., was driving a Mercury Tracer north on Front Street when police say she drifted left and crossed the center line into oncoming traffic. The car first sideswiped a Ford Explorer heading south on Front Street before colliding head-on with a Mazda 626, also heading south, police said.
The Explorer's driver, Thomas Foley, 58, 10 King St. Extension, Leicester, Mass., was not injured, while the driver of the Mazda, Gregory Stroman, 34, of 18 Country Club Drive, Manchester, complained of minor injuries but refused an ambulance ride to the hospital.
Sheridan suffered moderate facial injuries and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital for medical treatment. Police said she was impaired by her consumption of alcohol and prescription medication, which resulted in the collision.
She was arrested and charged with operating under the influence.

Rimrock Opera Company puts on Summer Festival
By KJERSTEN OLSGAARD - The Billings Outpost
The Rimrock Opera Company presents its Summer Festival this week, with two performances of Broadway hits and opera favorites.
From Rimrock Opera veterans to new opera stars, 20 performers will present selections from works like "Wicked," "Porgy and Bess," "The Sound of Music," "Phantom of the Opera," and more at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at Shiloh United Methodist Church.
The following Monday to Friday, ROC hosts ROCK (Rimrock Opera Chorus for Kids) Summer Camp at the same location, a weeklong program dedicated to providing music education and performance opportunities to Billings area youth since its inception in 2004.
"The ROCK Summer Camp is set up so that not only do kids get together and learn songs that they can perform, there's also a variety of classes we teach," explained Kristy Dallas, education director for ROC, in a recent interview.
"We are teaching aerobasingers, which is aerobics for singers. We are also teaching a vocal health class, which teaches the kids different methods they can utilize for protecting their voices and not overusing them. And we teach them music theory as well, because if it's something they start at a younger age, then it's something that will become more natural for them."
To close out the camp on Saturday, June 25, the 20 performers will repeat this Saturday's concert at the Babcock Theater at 7:30 p.m. with a featured performance by ROCK.
"Adults definitely have a more cultured appreciation for opera, because the adults that do come, it's something that they have developed a taste for and like," said Dallas. "And they have a lot of educational and intellectual knowledge about it. Whereas kids when they see opera, they usually don't know the story behind it or the history of it. But they are really fascinated by it.
This fascination, said Dallas, is important for nurturing creativity.
"Opera is just like having plays or having musical theater. It's something where kids can go into a different world and experience things that they otherwise wouldn't be able to experience."
Tickets are $20 per performance and are available at the door of both venues. Contact ROC for more information about the concerts or registering for ROCK Summer Camp at 671-2214 or rimrockopera.org.

text: Nov. 9, 2011 1971 Tour Anniversary Videos | Ned Anderson Into Cal Hall of Fame Nov. 11 SAN FRANCISCO - Six members of the California rugby team were joined by their academic advisor on Saturday, Nov. 5, as the Golden Bears raced 41 flights up the stairs of One Sansome Street, representing their athletic department in the fight against cystic fibrosis at the fifth annual Climb for Life. A new event record was set with $50,000 in funds raised, 90 percent of which will go toward research, according to Cathi Connelly, executive director of the Northern California chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. Freshman Spencer Morris continued the Rugby Bears' tradition of reaching the top of the building fastest as the Cal group contributed to the fight against the nation's number one threatening disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of children and young adults. The funds raised by the CF Foundation seed money with private industry to fund front-end research and early-stage drug development until that research looks promising enough for the drug companies to fund the market. "It's great to see these guys here and I love this event in part because, when they reach the top and are completely out of breath, that's how I feel every day," said Lindsay Dawn who had a double lung transplant 30 months ago and walked the stairs at the 2010 event. The Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is a nonprofit donor-supported organization whose mission is to assure the development of the means to cure and control cystic fibrosis and to improve the quality of life for those with the disease. "When it's someone in your family, everyone responds, and the Cal rugby team is an extra lift," said Linda Hester, whose grand-niece, Hayley, was diagnosed with CF as an infant. Coach Tom Billups coordinated the participation of players Nicklas Boyer, Kenny Bruzzone, Tyler Fach, Brad Harrington, Josh Tucker and Morris. They were joined by Nick McNeill, an academic advisor who has previously joined the team on one of its famous fire-trail runs.

Idaho man charged with slapping toddler on flight now out of a job
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A man charged with slapping a toddler on a Minneapolis-to-Atlanta flight is out of a job, his former employer said Sunday.
Joe Rickey Hundley, 60, of Hayden, Idaho, is no longer an employee of AGC Aerospace and Defense, Composites Group, Daniel Keeney of DPK Public Relations confirmed Sunday night.
Al Haase, president and CEO of AGC, issued a statement early Sunday that, while not referring to Hundley by name, called reports of behavior by one of its executives on recent personal travel "offensive and disturbing" and said he "is no longer employed with the company." Keeney would not say whether Hundley was fired or resigned. Hundley was president of AGC's Unitech Composites and Structures unit.
Hundley was charged last week in federal court in Atlanta with simple assault for allegedly slapping the 2-year-old boy during the Feb. 8 flight. His attorney, Marcia Shein, of Decatur, Ga., said Saturday that Hundley will plead not guilty. The charge carries a maximum penalty of a year in jail.
Shein did not immediately returned messages seeking comment left Sunday evening by The Associated Press. Hundley does not have a listed phone number.
The boy's mother, Jessica Bennett, 33, told the FBI their flight was on final descent into Atlanta when her 19-month-old son started to cry due to the altitude change. Hundley "told her to shut that (N-word) baby up," FBI special agent Daron Cheney said in a sworn statement. She said Hundley then slapped him in the face, scratching the boy below his right eye and causing him to scream even louder.
Bennett told Twin Cities television stations on Saturday that the incident has caused her family a great deal of trauma and that her son, Jonah, had been outgoing but had turned apprehensive of strangers.
Hundley became increasingly obnoxious and appeared intoxicated during the flight and complained that her son was too big to sit on her lap, she said.
"He reeked of alcohol," Bennett told KARE-TV. "He was belligerent, and I was uncomfortable."
Bennett said she was shocked by the racial slur she says Hundley used when Jonah started crying. Continued...
"And I said, 'What did you say?' because I couldn't believe that he would say that," she told WCCO-TV. "He fell onto my face and his mouth was in my ear and he said it again but even more hateful. And he's on my face, so I pushed him away."
Bennett and her husband are white, while Jonah, whom they adopted, is black.
"We wish to emphasize that the behavior that has been described is contradictory to our values, embarrassing and does not in any way reflect the patriotic character of the men and women of diverse backgrounds who work tirelessly in our business," Haase said in his statement.

LONDON (AP) — Japan added to its medal collection in Olympic women's volleyball by defeating South Korea in straight sets for the bronze at the London Games. Japan has won two golds, two silver and two bronzes since volleyball joined the Olympics in 1964. Russia is the only other team with six. Saori Sakoda scored 23 points, including the spike that won the match, in the 25-22, 26-24, 25-21 victory Saturday for fifth-ranked Japan. Kim Yeon-koung, the leading scorer in London, had 22 points for No. 15 South Korea. The top-ranked U.S. women, who have not lost in the Olympic tournament, face No. 2 Brazil in the gold-medal match late Saturday. It's a rematch of the final at the 2008 Beijing Games, which gave Brazil its first gold in the sport.

I totally lost my cool on a co-worker last week. Let me re-phrase that…he came into my office and yelled at me for something that was his mistake, and I responded by unleashing every ounce of frustration I've had with him since I've started that job. After all, I am an editor. My job is to edit materials and find errors. I am lucky that I have a very cool boss… because I honestly thought that he would just fire both of us.
During the drive home (the boss had sent me home early), I was about 51% satisfied that I had yelled at my co-worker, and 49% wondering what I could have done to prevent what had just happened. Don't get me wrong, he deserved a reprimand. I had tried my hardest to maintain my cool until he said, "Why didn't you just fix this yourself?" and then all hell broke loose. I have to fix something that you did? Do your own job. I mean, right?!
I thought about all of the times that I came home with a bad attitude, all of the nasty text messages that I had sent to my friends complaining about this dude, and every sigh that came out of my mouth every time I looked at his work. I'm not going to lie; yelling at this guy felt pretty good. But part of me was pretty horrified by what had just happened.
So, as I do with all of my problems, I decided to call my dad and talk to him about it. After laughing about the incident for a few minutes, he reminded me this: We can only control how we react to situations. We have no control over other people. As much as I'd like to prevent a situation like that again, the only part of it that I can prevent is to make sure that I don't explode next time. I can't correct his work ethic, and I can't prevent him from making another mistake and him storming into my office like it's my fault. Pretty comforting, right?
Truthfully, he's probably not going to storm into my office again because now he is aware that I'm not the type of co-worker that is just going to apologize and do whatever I have to do to get him to leave me alone. I'm a hard worker, and I am polite to everyone in the office. After all, I spend more time with these people than I do with my boyfriend or my friends…I may as well make the most of it.
Simply put, remember that you cannot control how people act and react. If a co-worker is being rude for no reason or trying to take advantage of your work, speak to your boss in confidence about it. Say something like, "I've been feeling a little taken advantage of by so-and-so" or "So-and-so has been a little disrespectful to me… could you maybe just keep an eye on that situation for me?" Remember that managers and bosses are people too and part of their job is to make sure that things are running smoothly. If all of their employees are running around screaming at each other, it says something about their managerial skills. They probably don't want people fighting as much as you do.
If you feel that telling your boss will only make the situation worse, tell your boss that you're not here to point fingers and be a tattle-tale, but you're telling him/her because you genuinely want the problem to be resolved. Just ask them to keep an eye on that situation, so if something does happen and the boss notices it and decides to take action, it will look more like the co-worker was caught. Make sense? If this situation is reoccurring, be sure and document these instances so it doesn't become a matter of "he said/she said." If your boss is friends with the crazy co-worker, tell the boss anyway. If nothing is done about the situation, talk to your boss' boss.
As frustrating as the situation may be, also look at it as an opportunity. If your boss is paying attention to this person, it is likely that he/she will notice that this person may not be the employee that they thought they had hired. Look at this as your opportunity to shine. If this person is constantly rude to co-workers and customers/clients, make sure to be more mindful of how YOU treat your co-workers and customers/clients. After that situation with my co-worker, I also mentioned to my boss that I am interested doing more graphic design with the company. Because he is aware that my co-worker is a pretty lazy person, he was willing to let me get into that a bit more.
If you're wondering how I interact with that co-worker now, to be honest, I don't really speak to him. I made my feelings about his work ethic known (rather loudly, in fact), so he does his job and I do mine. I am polite whenever I have to speak to him and that is about it. Honestly, it's just not worth feeling upset and hateful about it…
However, if you're feeling sexually harassed by a co-worker, or if you feel that this conflict stems from a racial, gender or sexual orientation issue, you should ALWAYS tell your boss immediately. You should NEVER feel personally threatened at work.
How do you deal with crazy co-workers? Let's hear your co-worker horror stories!

OAKVILLE — Bacon wrapped Timbits?
You may not see them any time soon, but they were among the offerings during a rare glimpse into the research and development department of the Tim Hortons chain Wednesday.
The chain's Innovation Centre on its Oakville corporate campus has been open to outsiders only once before. Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his entourage were allowed in when the Hamilton-born chain separated from a nine-year merger with Wendy's in 2006.
This time, the guest of honour was new thick-cut hickory smoked bacon at the Tim Hortons Innovation Centre.
"At Tim Hortons, we believe bacon makes everything better," said senior category brand manager Julie Unsworth, while standing in front of a fully-stocked mock store attached to a test kitchen.
"We're making our bacon better than ever."
Bacon is all the rage these days, from fine dining masterpieces to candy-coated treats and even cologne and breath mints.
At Tim Hortons, it took eight months of product development, tasting and testing to roll out the new pork that can now be added to any sandwich, said Karen Gold, product development manager for breakfast and lunch.
"If you're a bacon lover, you can call that the best eight months of your life, and I do," said Gold, who says people usually think she's got the best job around.
About 20 types of bacon were tried and rejected, including apple wood smoked and cracked pepper. They were evaluated on taste on every Tims sandwich, but also on cooking times and holding temperatures.
Product testing included seven thicknesses and even accounted for how well they stayed in a sandwich. "The worst thing is to have a hot slice of bacon land on your chin while you're driving," said Gold.
The new rashers are almost twice as thick as the previous offering and are smoked twice, first in a brine, then in a traditional smokehouse.
Test groups came from Tim Hortons staff. For riskier ventures, such as entire new product lines, the company will use focus groups drawn from customers or the general public.
Gold, who was a chef before taking her current job 10 years ago, says Tim Hortons considers hundreds of ideas a year. Only a few get to the product development stage.
The mock store is used for "battle tests" — to see how a new product will function on the ground.
"Nothing is ever a great idea until we know we can execute it in the restaurants," said Gold.
Sensory expert Margaret Van De Gevel took participants though a tasting exercise to prepare them to savour the aroma, texture and flavour of bacon.
Some ideas for new products come from research and development staff, others from the public, through suggestion boxes and social media.
Other fanciful bacon creations available to guests that will likely not be taking up shelf space were caramel bacon popcorn doughnuts, maple bacon ice cappuccino, cinnabacon rolls, maple bacon dip doughnuts, peanut butter and jelly bacon cupcakes and jalapeno bacon cheese bagels.
While they may all sound heavenly to the legions of bacon fans out there, Gold says most aren't feasible for Canada's biggest food chain.
Bacon requires refrigeration, while the restaurant's display cases store products at room temperature. For the bagels, the bacon would pose a hazard in toasters.
"It took us a couple of years to create a cheese bagel that wouldn't set the toasters on fire," she said.
The Tim Hortons campus also includes Tim Hortons University, which is attached to a functioning store, and the company's corporate headquarters.
The company, based on market capitalization, is the largest publicly traded restaurant chain in Canada. As of the end of last year, there were 4,264 locations in Canada, the United States and abroad doing more than $6 billion in sales in 2011.
Revenue growth last year was tied to higher-priced products such as the introduction of its panini sandwiches and single-serve Tassimo coffee line. The company saw same-store sales growth halved in the last three months of 2012 over the same time in 2011.

Lower-income cancer patients are less likely to participate in cancer clinical trials, according to a study co-authored by Loyola University Medical Center oncologist Kathy Albain, MD, FACP. Patients with incomes of less than $50,000 per year were 27 percent less likely than higher-income patients to participate in clinical trials, and those with incomes less than $20,000 were 44 percent less likely to participate. Fifty-three percent of patients with incomes less than $20,000 per year expressed concerns about their costs of participating in clinical trials. By comparison, only 24 percent of patients earning more than $100,000 per year expressed concerns over cost. Results were presented during the annual meeting of the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) in Chicago.
"We must be more vigilant in educating our lower-income patients about the value of participating in clinical trials," Albain said. "We also need to do a better job addressing misperceptions they may have about the costs of participating in clinical trials, and present all options available to them for reimbursement."
Albain chaired the committee that developed and designed the study. The study was a collaboration between SWOG (formerly known as the Southwest Oncology Group) and NexCura®. SWOG is a clinical trials network supported largely by the National Cancer Institute. NexCura, until its recent sale, had run an online treatment decision tool that many cancer advocacy organizations made available to patients.
Researchers did an online survey of 5,499 patients who were newly diagnosed with breast, prostate, lung or colorectal cancers. Overall, 9 percent of these patients participated in clinical trials. Income was the only socioeconomic or demographic factor that was significantly associated with participation in clinical trials.
Clinical trials give cancer patients access to new drugs, new treatment approaches and other investigational treatments before they are widely available while ensuring patients receive, at the minimum, the best standard of care. Patients also receive care at leading health care sites.
The National Cancer Institute says that costs for patients who participate in clinical trials are not appreciably higher than costs for patients who do not participate. Nevertheless, the study found that cost still was a significant concern among lower-income patients. Researchers said lower-income patients may be more sensitive to direct costs, such as co-pays and co-insurance, and indirect costs, such as time off from work for extra clinic visits.
Albain said it is critically important that all segments of society receive the benefits of clinical trials. Moreover, including all segments of the population is necessary to ensure the validity of the findings. "If a whole segment is missing or is under represented in a clinical trial, we won't know whether the findings will hold up for that segment," she said.

Brisbane Road clash between Leyton Orient and Brentford brought forward two days to be shown live on Sky Sports
12:43pm Saturday 30th June 2012 in Latest Sport By Matt Bass
Leyton Orient will once again be live on Sky Sports next season after the home fixture with Brentford was selected for television coverage.
The London derby was due to take place on Saturday, September 15, but has now been brought forward two days to Thursday, September 13.
The midweek fixture will kick off at 7.45pm.
Orient are no strangers to the cameras having been broadcast live on Sky against Charlton Athletic in the last three seasons.
Their most recent live appearance came on New Year's Eve in the last campaign when Matthew Spring's first half effort proved decisive as Russell Slade's side claimed a 1-0 win.

Fred is back on Drop Dead Diva — and this time, the real Jane is with him!
Ben Feldman, who recurred on Mad Men earlier this season, will reprise his role as guardian angel Fred is the Season 4 finale of the Lifetime hit, and TVGuide.com has the exclusive first look at his return.
Jane Bingum — the real one — will return in the season finale of Drop Dead Diva!
The real Jane (Brooke Elliott) was last seen in the series premiere, in which she took a bullet for Parker (Josh Stamberg). At the same time, Deb (then portrayed by Brooke D'Orsay) died in a car accident. When Deb got to heaven, she pressed the "return" button on Fred's (Ben Feldman) keyboard and came back to Earth in the only body available: Jane's. Now, in the Season 4 finale, we'll find out where real Jane has been all this time.

Ben Feldman, who recently received an Emmy nomination for his role as Michael Ginsberg on Mad Men, is going back to his old stomping grounds.
Feldman will return to Lifetime's Drop Dead Diva as guardian angel Fred in the show's Season 4 finale next month, Entertainment Weekly reports.
In other Drop Dead Diva news, Josh Stamberg, who plays Parker on the show, has booked a guest role on the upcoming eighth season of Criminal Minds, TV Line reports. Stamberg will play the father of a family that has been abducted in the third episode of the season, which kicks off on Wednesday, Sept. 6 at 9/8c.
"The season is definitely heading towards a wedding with Jane and somebody."
That's right, Drop Dead Diva's former model-turned-lawyer — in another body, natch — may soon be walking down the aisle, according to creator Josh Berman, who says Jane (Brooke Elliott) will find herself in the middle of a love triangle between Grayson (Jackson Hurst) and Owen (Lex Medlin). However, the tables have turned this season, with Jane trying to move on from her former love while Grayson is coming closer to uncovering her secret: That she's his ex-girlfriend Deb. But is it too late for Grayson and Jane, especially after he shared that smooch with Stacy (April Bowlby)?

Histone Demethylase JmjD2A Regulates Neural Crest Specification
Developmental Cell, Volume 19, Issue 3, 14 September 2010, Pages 460-468
Pablo Hernan Strobl-Mazzulla, Tatjana Sauka-Spengler and Marianne Bronner-Fraser
SummaryThe neural crest is a multipotent stem cell-like population that is induced during gastrulation, but only acquires its characteristic morphology, migratory ability, and gene expression profile after neurulation. This raises the intriguing possibility that precursors are actively maintained by epigenetic influences in a stem cell-like state. Accordingly, we report that dynamic histone modifications are critical for proper temporal control of neural crest gene expression in vivo. The histone demethylase, JumonjiD2A (JmjD2A/KDM4A), is expressed in the forming neural folds. Loss of JmjD2A function causes dramatic downregulation of neural crest specifier genes analyzed by multiplex NanoString and in situ hybridization. Importantly, in vivo chromatin immunoprecipitation reveals direct stage-specific interactions of JmjD2A with regulatory regions of neural crest genes, and associated temporal modifications in methylation states of lysine residues directly affected by JmjD2A activity. Our findings show that chromatin modifications directly control neural crest genes in vertebrate embryos via modulating histone methylation.

SummaryThe KDM4/JMJD2 family of histone demethylases is amplified in human cancers. However, little is known about their physiologic or tumorigenic roles. We have identified a conserved and unappreciated role for the JMJD2A/KDM4A H3K9/36 tridemethylase in cell cycle progression. We demonstrate that JMJD2A protein levels are regulated in a cell cycle-dependent manner and that JMJD2A overexpression increased chromatin accessibility, S phase progression, and altered replication timing of specific genomic loci. These phenotypes depended on JMJD2A enzymatic activity. Strikingly, depletion of the only C. elegans homolog, JMJD-2, slowed DNA replication and increased ATR/p53-dependent apoptosis. Importantly, overexpression of HP1γ antagonized JMJD2A-dependent progression through S phase, and depletion of HPL-2 rescued the DNA replication-related phenotypes in jmjd-2−/− animals. Our findings describe a highly conserved model whereby JMJD2A regulates DNA replication by antagonizing HP1γ and controlling chromatin accessibility.

Molecular Cell, Volume 48, Issue 4, 30 November 2012, Pages 491-507
Joshua C. Black, Capucine Van Rechem and Johnathan R. Whetstine
SummaryHistone lysine methylation has emerged as a critical player in the regulation of gene expression, cell cycle, genome stability, and nuclear architecture. Over the past decade, a tremendous amount of progress has led to the characterization of methyl modifications and the lysine methyltransferases (KMTs) and lysine demethylases (KDMs) that regulate them. Here, we review the discovery and characterization of the KMTs and KDMs and the methyl modifications they regulate. We discuss the localization of the KMTs and KDMs as well as the distribution of lysine methylation throughout the genome. We highlight how these data have shaped our view of lysine methylation as a key determinant of complex chromatin states. Finally, we discuss the regulation of KMTs and KDMs by proteasomal degradation, posttranscriptional mechanisms, and metabolic status. We propose key questions for the field and highlight areas that we predict will yield exciting discoveries in the years to come.

Structural and Functional Analysis of JMJD2D Reveals Molecular Basis for Site-Specific Demethylation among JMJD2 Demethylases
Swathi Krishnan1 and Raymond C. Trievel1, ,
Corresponding authorHighlights
► JMJD2A and JMJD2D exhibit unexpected differences in H3K9me3 recognition ► Phosphorylation of T11 abolishes H3K9me3 demethylation by JMJD2 enzymes ► Steric clashes and loss of hydrogen bonds occlude H3K36me3 recognition by JMJD2D ► Differences in substrate recognition can be exploited in JMJD2 inhibitor design
- JMJD2 lysine demethylases (KDMs) participate in diverse genomic processes. Most JMJD2 homologs display dual selectivity toward H3K9me3 and H3K36me3, with the exception of JMJD2D, which is specific for H3K9me3. Here, we report the crystal structures of the JMJD2D⋅2-oxoglutarate⋅H3K9me3 ternary complex and JMJD2D apoenzyme. Utilizing structural alignments with JMJD2A, molecular docking, and kinetic analysis with an array of histone peptide substrates, we elucidate the specific signatures that permit efficient recognition of H3K9me3 by JMJD2A and JMJD2D, and the residues in JMJD2D that occlude H3K36me3 demethylation. Surprisingly, these results reveal that JMJD2A and JMJD2D exhibit subtle yet important differences in H3K9me3 recognition, despite the overall similarity in the substrate-binding conformation. Further, we show that H3T11 phosphorylation abrogates demethylation by JMJD2 KDMs. Together, these studies reveal the molecular basis for JMJD2 site specificity and provide a framework for structure-based design of selective inhibitors of JMJD2 KDMs implicated in disease.

In an alternate universe, Apple has announced the App Store Guide and Blog. Choice morsels from the PR material follow.
"We came to realize that a quarter million apps meant worse than nothing to Apple users", said Apple's CEO. "I get confused too! Reviews are often fake, lame, or downright incompetent. PR firms have been caught astroturfing reviews, publishers have resorted to flooding the App Store with shameful clones of successful applications. I won't let one of Apple's most important, most imitated innovations sink into anomie."
[Remember, this is sci-fi.]
"So…Today we're proud to introduce the Real App Store Guide, written and maintained by Apple experts. We'll review new and existing iOS apps. We'll tell you which ones we grok (and that grok us) and give you the straight dope on the offerings you shouldn't touch, even if they're free. In our Guide, you'll find a series of paths: For the Traveler, the Gamer, the Music Lover, the Graphic Artist, the Oppressed Enterprise Windows User, Teachers, Parents, Doctors… The Guide will also feature a blog, a running commentary on the iOS App landscape with intelligent answers to cogent questions. And in keeping with our usual standards for decorum and IQ, the blog will be moderated…"
And so it is, the App Store is fully curated, at long last.
As always, this doesn't please everyone…at least on the surface. In reality, the usual naysayers are thrilled: More pageviews! Ryan Tate jumps on the opportunity and frenetically fires at Steve Jobs' inbox, trying to start another late night email séance. But this time the Emailer In Chief doesn't bite.
Customers, on the other hand, like the Real App Store Guide. Users can finally find their way through the twisted and confusing maze of programs. They learn to adjust for a particular writer's opinions, much as we've all learned to compensate for the biases of, say, movie reviewers. The blog gives civilians a forum where they can argue (politely) with the named authors of the reviews—there's no anonymous corpospeak here.
App authors…some of them aren't so keen on the idea. The ones that get tepid reviews are understandably furious and threaten lawsuits (in vain…their attorneys are told to re-read the App Store T&Cs). With a modicum of care with words, that's what the Guide's editors are for: Safe negative opinions.
Publicly, Apple is quick to claim that their first concern is customer satisfaction. In private, they tell disgruntled programmers to go back to work and code different. You want a better review? Create an original, compelling, bug-free app.
The authors that receive thumbs-up reviews smile on their way to the bank. A favorable mention in the Real App Store Guide is equivalent to the box-office numbers after a strong A.O. Scott review. It's the music of the cash register when getting your first Michelin star.
Cosmic Order is restored.
Down to Earth
Back in the "real" universe—if the adjective applies to the Valley—the toxic waste of success is poisoning the App Store. Smartphone stores such as Handango and Tucows led the way, and there any number of followers now—the App Store genre is well established. In their tradition of mixing the ingredients better than anyone else, Apple has improved the lighting and streamlined the checkout. But the question remains: How do you find your way through the labyrinth of 250,000 apps? On whom do you rely to tell you what's there, what's good, what's not, what fits your needs? Should you trust the user reviews? The polite Staff Favorites, the Top Charts?
The organization, the cognitive UI that worked well for a few hundred apps—or even a few thousand—buckles under the weight of today's massive library. It's a mysterious but universally recognized fact: At a certain point, more of the same becomes numbing and alienating, quantity begets nature. You can run ten servers, maybe a hundred, more or less the way you run one, and your mind's eye can maintain a focused picture. But in today's seriously big server farms—at Amazon, Facebook, Microsoft—the numbers are in the hundreds of thousands; in Google's case, millions. The mind boggles. Different concepts, different tools are needed.
I mentioned the famous Guide Michelin, but what I'm really thinking about is the old Guide Gault Millau, often considered superior to the Michelin. What the Wikipedia article doesn't explain is how the Gault Millau came about and why it was so revered. Henri Gault and Christian Millau were food writers for a Paris daily, the Parisien Libéré. These gents had impeccable taste and great pens. Where the Michelin strove for ostensible objectivity (a little too rigorously, in my opinion), Gault and Millau were not shy about their opinions. Readers devoured their columns and ran to the restaurants they recommended. Gault and Millau shook up the lazy and often arrogant sameness of traditional French cooking. They were largely responsible for the Nouvelle Cuisine movement that favored fresh ingredients, delicate sauces, shorter cooking times, graceful presentation—"Japanese-style" said both fans and detractors.
They assembled their reviews in a guide and, for about three decades, made a thriving business of their opinions. Henri Gault passed away ten years ago and, for a number of reasons (including the Net) the guide is no longer as prominent as it once was.
In short, I don't want a Michelin. I want the Gault Millau of apps. And I want it from Apple.
One unnamed insider calls this a Third-Party Opportunity, a code phrase for We Don't Care. Yes, there are useful sites such as 148Apps.biz and 148Apps, but their financial resources are insufficient. And we don't want more Yelp-like (alleged) shenanigans. A Real App Store Guide isn't an independently viable business proposition, it takes too many writers, editors, curators, bloggers, not to mention the clerks and cashiers and janitors. We may have Google, but libraries still have librarians who guide you through the stacks and offer advice.
The Apple App Store is one of the greatest game-changers of the past twenty years. Will Apple let it crumble under its own weight?

Serial port appears under /dev/cu.PL2303-00001004 but no connection can be made with a terminal program (e.g. 'screen'), or with SpokePOV.

Aston Martin celebrates its 100th anniversary with a radical one-off concept car
BMW i8
BMW hasn't made a supercar since the mighty 1970s M1. With the 2013 i8, it's doing just that - with a twist: this is an 80mpg supercar, one of the greenest in the world. Being a plug-in hybrid means no risk of running low on electricity to outrun the photographers, and it even has a British-built engine.

As my profile would suggest, Games are a huge part of my life. I play them, and I enjoy making games using engines and such. Today I had a great experience. My high school was visited by the Game Training Roadshow. This business has over $3.5K of resources. By just going to the Roadshow you get access to their resources and they aid you for 12 months, and you can directly contact them. This is great because for people like myself who are interested, we can actually go and talk to a professional and they could help us to create a great game.
The session we had should have went for 4 hours, but our school booked it for 2 hours. We went for 2 1/2 hours because we asked questions after he showed us how to create a great game. The trailer is available on YouTube, and this is their website: http://www.gametraining.com.au/
I hope you check them out. It was better than you'd expect from the trailer, and the graphics on the designs are tremendous. Please, if you can, I strongly urge you to go check out this roadshow.

Established as the core technology behind all Nuance imaging products it is widely recognized as the #1 imaging and OCR toolkit on the market today. The OmniPage Capture Software Development Kit (SDK) provides everything you need to add robust imaging, OCR recognition, and PDF capabilities to your applications.
In addition to outstanding speed and accuracy with numerous product performance options and best-in-class PDF handling, the OmniPage Capture SDK 18 delivers support for the .NET environment, workflow controls, and logical form recognition technologies that streamline your development and provide added value to your products.
Used by commercial vendors who are serious about high OCR accuracy and quality document imaging in their applications, the OmniPage Capture SDK provides scalable voting recognition engines, extraordinary PDF support, and a simple API that lets your create high-value, competitive products while maximizing productivity and ensuring the greatest return on your investment.
*API sub-set compatible with Windows version
The latest update of OmniPage Capture SDK is 18.5, which includes native 64-bit support for Windows. Runtime order and support for version 12 have been discontinued. Runtime order and support for version 15 will be discontinued on March 31, 2013.
What's New in Version 18?
The OmniPage Capture Software Development Kit (SDK) has always been the gold standard for developers wanting to add sophisticated optical character recognition (OCR), imaging, and PDF creation and conversion capabilities to their own applications quickly and easily.
And with the release of the OmniPage Capture SDK 18, the best just got even better.
Significant accuracy and speed improvements, robust new development features, and continued innovation make OmniPage Capture SDK the most comprehensive suite of developer tools for embedding document imaging software.
Refreshed and updated with significant improvements – all without changing the API from version 16 – the OmniPage Capture SDK makes it easy to upgrade our application's capabilities. Add in the substantial enhancements, and it's easy to see why OmniPage Capture SDK for Windows remains the preferred choice of savvy developers of commercial imaging vendors.
Speed and Accuracy
Your customers want speed and accuracy – not one or the other. As a developer you know that OCR is dependent on a variety of factors that can be radically different from one application to another. OmniPage was developed and improved in ways that offer the best methods for balancing speed and accuracy based on your intended purpose. Work on our own applications have allowed us to see such improvements as:
Create accurate Searchable PDF from PDF files of unknown origin
For application developers that deal with PDF files the road is long and treacherous. PDF files can be created a variety of ways and may not contain text data necessary for indexing or searching. An OCR process generally treats all PDF files as images exposing your application to unnecessary OCR conversions that can create more problems than they solve. You can spend a lot of time and resources trying to programmatically work around these issues or you can simply use the new PDF Handling API. The OmniPage CSDK can automatically recognize only the image parts of any PDF and apply an OCR process where necessary making the process fast and extremely accurate without modifying, damaging or loosing existing text elements.
In addition this new PDF handling component allows page-level operations on PDF files. Pages can be deleted or copied and moved within or between PDF files. Pages from image files (TIFF or JPEG) can be inserted into PDF files. If recognition is performed on these pages before insertion, they can be searched within the PDF. The handling module registers all requested changes, and then when the commands are fully assembled, they are performed in one seamless operation.
These PDF operations are applicable to a wide range of imaging applications requiring text extraction and indexing for document management and cloud storage services types of applications and for PDF document assembly applications in any scanning workflow that includes text based PDF. The application possibilities are limitless and offer great ways to differentiate your products while providing maximum customer satisfaction with optimal performance and reliability.
Automatic language detection for maximum productivity
The quality and accuracy of OCR is language dependent for a number of reasons. It's simply inefficient to stop your application to change the language selection in order to get the best accuracy. A new auto-language detection setting solves this problem and allows for unattended scanning or document input scenarios where the language may change from document to document or page to page
New image processing functions save time and increase accuracy
Marks, borders and halftones can create "ghost" or unintended characters and ultimately lower OCR accuracy. The OmniPage Capture SDK features new image processing functions that can clean scanned images and improve document quality. An auto-crop facility allows all incoming images to be analyzed and larger border areas to be removed, leaving only margins with predefined dimensions. Punch hole marks or scanning shadows can be cleaned from marginal areas. A wider choice of despeckling methods is available. Black-and-white images can be better prepared for OCR processing by erosion and dilatation; this involves changing the value of a given pixel depending on the value of neighboring pixels. Erosion has the effect of thinning character shapes, while dilatation fortifies them. A new whiteboard function improves the legibility of whiteboard texts captured by digital cameras.
Create visually appealing and more useful application with pre-built components
The OmniPage SDK is unique because it features pre-built components that we use in our own applications. We've improved how these components are implemented and how they look too. We even included a sample application that demonstrates how we use these components for an improved user experience.
Improved free form recognition on gridded forms
Free form recognition is performed for processing batches of forms with different layouts where a template cannot be used. The OmniPage Capture SDK can extract the text from a form so your application may present useful information to the user such as account numbers, invoice values and totals, or any information in a form that you want to end up in a database. The zoning algorithms for forms with a tabular (gridded) structure have been refined to improve the OCR accuracy.
Key Features for the OmniPage Capture SDK for Windows
The OmniPage Capture SDK offers a robust feature set to support all your imaging needs. You get the power and accuracy of OmniPage - the most popular OCR program in the world - integrated into your applications, along with top-of-the line OCR engines and extensive PDF capabilities. The strength of OmniPage Capture SDK extends beyond unrivaled accuracy, with additional features to streamline application development and provide added value to your product.
The most accurate and robust OCR available
OmniPage provides a scalable voting interface and significant throughput management capabilities. Combined with highly accurate machine-print OCR (OCR, OCR-A, OCR-B and MICR), handprint (ICR), checkmark (OMR) and barcode (1D and 2D) recognition engines, the OmniPage Capture SDK delivers unmatched flexibility and accuracy.
Asian OCR support
The OmniPage Capture SDK Asian OCR module supports Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. It can be used either as a standalone module or with the Western language kit.
Support for the .NET managed environment
OmniPage Capture SDK 16 supports.NET, one of the leading development environments. C# and VB.NET sample recognition programs and sample viewers are included.
Multi-core and multi-thread processor support
Better multithreading and parallel processing on multi-page documents in the OmniPage Capture SDK let you exploit the full potential of your processing environment. In multi-page mode, OmniPage Capture SDK 16 runs up to 43% faster than previous versions on a quad-core machine.
Pre-made user interfaces
The OmniPage Capture SDK's Professional Visual Toolbox gives you pre-made interfaces for creating and executing workflows, controlling scanning devices, and document processing. It includes visual controls for advanced OCR and image enhancement tools. Use this module to create OmniPage-compatible workflows and monitor their execution.
Workflow development and execution
You can easily create complex image processing and OCR tasks and manage all parameters and settings. Then, adding OCR to your application can be just one workflow execution call. Workflow features also help balance the load on dual core and hyperthreaded systems to boost performance.
Logical Form Recognition technology
Our advanced logical form recognition (LFR) automates form template creation and streamlines form processing, providing significant savings in development time.
Throughput management
Updated throughput capabilities provide significant advantages over other SDKs, allowing you to deploy optimal document imaging throughput for your application.
Integrated PDF toolkit
Extensive PDF capabilities - including unique PDF overlay matching that achieves near-100% accuracy in PDF conversion- allow you to significantly reduce development costs and time-to-market. The OmniPage Capture SDK also supports output to the PDF/archive (PDF/A) format and generates multi-raster-content PDFs optimized for file size and quality.
Format support
The OmniPage Capture SDK supports a wide range of image and application format, including BMP, GIF, TIF, PDF, HTML, Microsoft Office formats, XML, Open eBook and more. These provide significant advantages over other SDKs, allowing you to achieve optimal image throughput for your applications. There is also support for a wide range of input/output filters, including PDF, Microsoft® Office 2007, XML, and Open eBook standards.
Text-to-speech (TTS)
The OmniPage Capture SDK is also the only OCR SDK that includes text-to-speech technologies. You applications can turn paper and digital documents into human-sounding audio files. Not only is this an important way to provide document support for disabled users, it allows everyone to save documents to files that can be played on personal computers and mobile devices, including Apple iPod.
These advanced features, along with breakthrough PDF capabilities that achieve 100% word accuracy in converting text-based PDF documents, enable you to significantly reduce the cost of development and time-to-market. That's why the OmniPage Capture SDK is the most powerful and complete document-imaging SDK in the world.
The OmniPage Capture SDK can be accessed through a C/C++ API or ActiveX interface. Support for Windows XP and Vista application development enables you to easily create applications with a wide variety of recognition technologies using a single set of developer tools.
