Stan Van Gundy Wants to Use Me as an Agent Provocateur – Probably Doubts My Intelligence
We've all seen hundreds – if not thousands – of press conferences, and an all too common thought when watching them is, "Wow, what a dumb question." Saturday night, I joined that pantheon by asking a question of Orlando coach Stan Van Gundy that was literally (check the 0:17 mark of the video below) cringe-worthy.
In effect, I asked Stan if posting up slowed the Pacers offense down and therefore, in some ways, made defending them easier. Check out the Zapruder-quality record of SVG's response.
Unfortunately for me, the idea of the Pacers exploiting their size advantage actually hurting their offense is one of those concepts that is neither as clever as it sounds in your head, nor as stupid as it sounds when you say it out loud. I do still believe that the Pacers need better balance in their offensive approach.
But really, that's all kinda beside the point, not that there actually is one. I couldn't really find a place to fit this little vignette into anything I was writing this weekend, but it's never really a waste of time to see Van Gundy poke fun at a questioner — even if it's me.

Jun17 socialismartnature: The New York Police Department's Warrant Squad is wearing T-shirts (pictured above) comparing what they do to hunting animals. Lichi D'Amelio reports. THE NEW York City Police Department has long been accused of treating many city residents as subhuman. Now some of its officers seem determined to prove their critics right. Last week, members of the city's Warrant Squad, assigned to find people with outstanding warrants and bring them to court, were spotted wearing T-shirts that compared their job to hunting animals. The photo (above) was sent to SocialistWorker.org by someone who works in the court system. As the photo shows, on the back of the officer's shirt is a quote from Ernest Hemingway: There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter. What you can't see is that the front of the T-shirt has the words "Fugitive Enforcement NYPD," and what appears to be an official department insignia. New York City just finished defending itself in a trial over its "stop-and-frisk" policy, under which hundreds of thousands of young people are detained, interrogated and often searched each year, for no reason other than the color of their skin in most cases. Many observers expect the courts to rule against city, and the U.S. Justice Department recently announced its interest in assigning a federal monitor to oversee the department. At a time when his department is under so much scrutiny, it's incredible that police commissioner Ray Kelly would allow officers to wear such offensive T-shirts on the job. The Warrant Squad operates without much publicity, but the few stories in the media have been fawning portraits of these cops as action heroes. "They are an elite team of parole officers whose job every day is to track down fugitive felons on the run," began one recent story from WABC's Eyewitness News. "They operate in a world of urgent whispers and silent signals, because every sound and every movement could be the difference between life and death." Judging by these T-shirts, Warrant Squad officers view themselves in the same way. In reality, they spend most of their time dealing with poor people accused of non-violent violations, misdemeanors and felonies—who comprise the vast majority of New Yorkers who get caught up in the criminal justice system. In fact, the officer in this photo was taking a woman into Queens misdemeanor court when the picture was taken. So much for the glory of "the hunt." But the dehumanizing attitude displayed by these T-shirts is no laughing matter. A few years ago, the city settled a lawsuit in which the Warrant Squad was accused of breaking down a Queens grandmother's door, falsely accusing her grandson of murder and then beating him up. The officers let their dog bite him and threatened to run him "against a fence in a maneuver known as the 'cheese grater.'" One of those officers, Hassan Hamdy, went on last year to shoot and kill unarmed Noel Polanco on a Queens highway after Polanco allegedly cut off the Hamdy's police van. "The [Hemingway] quote for me signifies a mentality that has been reserved for hunting animals," said Lawrence Hayes, a former Black Panther and longtime community activist. "It has no place in a police force with the duty of protecting citizens. The Warrant Squad should be disbanded and Ray Kelly dismissed for allowing this mentality to infest New York City's police force." http://socialistworker.org/2013/06/17/nypd-sees-us-as-human-prey (via ragemovement) Permalink

Lovely Watch.
By Lover of jewellery!
from Toronto
As usual when I get a Croton watch I get elegance and quality. I was not disappointed this time too. I bought this watch in the gold tone for my husband and he liked it. I then decided to get a silver tone for gift giving but he decided to take it as well. Now, I will have to buy another one as I really love it. It is the right size looks better than many expensive ones, the quality is there and I could not have wished for a better watch. Finally, Croton is back ! Thank you TSC for that now if Lucien Picard comes back at least we would have some nice watches to buy!

Allison, Audrey / Allison, Joe
Put your sweet lips a little closer to the phone
Let's pretend that we're together all alone
I'll tell the man to turn the jukebox way down low
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go
Whisper to me tell me do you love me true or is he holding you the way I do
Though love is blind make up your mind I've got to know
Should I hang up or will you tell him he'll have to go
You can't say the words I wanna hear while you're with another man
Do you want me answer yes or no darling I will understand
So put your sweet lips...
[ guitar ]
And you can tell your friend there with you he'll have to go

Definitions of Zionism
Zionism is a movement of empowerment for the Jewish people, who historically have been a powerless people, a minority in every land, and therefore vulnerable to attack, persecution, massacre, expulsion, and ultimately in the 20th century, genocide.
This condition prevailed, to lesser and larger degrees, where ever Jewish communities existed, whether in Christian Europe or in Muslim lands. In the former, Jews were reviled as the "deicide people" accused of murdering Jesus in league with Satan, which led to unspeakable horrors such as the Crusades, the Inquisition, and massacres too numerous to name. In the latter, Jews were treated with less ferocity, but were nonetheless mistrusted and often reviled. Jews were required to live as subordinates of Islam as a dhimmmi people, a subjected status decreed by Islamic jurisprudence that often led to a precarious existence for Jews, including persecution and massacres down through the centuries.
Zionism seeks to correct this powerlessness of the Jews by emancipate Jews through a program of self-determination and national liberation.
Zionism is Not a Monolithic Movement.
General Zionism
Political Zionism
Practical Zionism
Religious Zionism
Revisionist Zionism
Socialist Zionism
Spiritual Zionism
Synthetic Zionism
Radical Messianic Zionism
General Zionism
General Zionism was initially the term used for the beliefs of all members of the Zionist Organization [ZO] who had not joined a specific faction or party - belonging to their countrywide Zionist organizations only. Over the years, the General Zionists, too, created ideological institutions and joined the Organization of General Zionists, established in 1922 as a centrist party in the ZO. The precepts of the General Zionists included Basle-style Zionism free of ideological embellishments and the primacy of Zionism over any class, party, or personal interest. This party, in its many metamorphoses, championed causes such as the encouragement of private initiative and protection of middle-class rights. In 1931, the General Zionists split into Factions A and B as a result of disagreements over issues of concern in Palestine: social affairs, economic matters, the attitude toward the General Federation of Jewish Labor (the Histadrut), etc. In 1945, the factions reunited.
Most of Israel's Liberal movements and parties were formed under the inspiration of the General Zionists and reflect mergers in and secessions from this movement
Political Zionism
Political Zionism stressed the importance of political action and deemed the attainment of political rights in Palestine a prerequisite for the fulfillment of the Zionist enterprise. Political Zionism is linked to the name of Theodor Herzl, who considered the Jewish problem a political one that should be solved by overt action in the international arena. His aim was to obtain a charter, recognized by the world leadership, granting the Jews sovereignty in a Jewish-owned territory. The Basle Program, drawn up in accordance with these principles, states that Zionism aims to establish "a secure haven, under public law, for the Jewish people in the Land of Israel." Organizational and economic mechanisms (the Zionist Organization [ZO], the Jewish National Fund [Keren Kayemet L'Israel], the Jewish Colonial Trust and so on) were established to carry out this program.
Practical Zionism
Practical Zionism emphasized practical means of attaining Zionist goals, such as aliyah (immigration), rural settlement and educational institutions, despite inadequate political conditions. This approach originated in the Hibbat Zion movement in the 1880s, well before Political Zionism. After Theodor Herzl's death (1904), as hopes of obtaining a charter in Palestine were dashed, and after the Uganda Program controversy (1905), Practical Zionism, calling for the intensification of rural settlement in Palestine, gained strength. The champions of this doctrine were the members of the Second Aliyah, who settled in Palestine at this time. They founded rural settlements, some along cooperative principles; built modern towns; and established the first industrial enterprises. The 1907 decision to establish the Palestine office of the Zionist movement in Jaffa, headed by Dr. Arthur Ruppin, further reinforced this approach.
Religious Zionism
Religious Zionism can be traced to the "augurers of Zion" (Mevasrei Zion, precursors of Hibbat Zion), including Rabbis Yehudah Alkalai, Zvi Kalischer, Shmuel Mohilever, and Naftali Zvi Yehudah Berlin. Based on a fusion of Jewish religion and nationhood, it aims to restore not only Jewish political freedom but also Jewish religion in the light of the Torah and its commandments. For Religious Zionism, Judaism based on the commandments is a sine qua non for Jewish national life in the homeland.
In 1902, in response to the decision of the Fifth Zionist Congress to consider cultural activity as part of the Zionist program, Rabbis Reines and Ze'ev Yavetz established the Mizrachi organization (mizrachi being the Hebrew abbreviation of merkaz ruhani-"spiritual center"). Mizrachi held its first world convention in 1904 and composed the movement's platform, which concerned itself principally with observance of the commandments and return to Zion. In Palestine, Rabbi Avraham Yitzhak Hacohen Kook gave Religious Zionism his personal and spiritual endorsement, regarding settlement in the Land of Israel as the beginning of Redemption.
Religious Zionism has pledged much of its efforts and resources to constructing a national-religious education system. Hapoel Hamizrahi branched away from the main movement (1922) to focus on Orthodox rural settlement in Palestine under the slogan "Torah va-'Avodah" (Torah and Labor). In 1956, the two movements, Mizrachi and Hapoel Hamizrahi, united under the umbrella of the National Religious Party, active in Israeli politics today.
Revisionist Zionism
Revisionist Zionism is an outgrowth of Herzl's Political Zionism, augmented by the ideas of Vladimir (Ze'ev) Jabotinsky. In 1925, Jabotinsky established the Revisionist Zionist Alliance, which advocated a revision, i.e., reexamination, of the principles of Political Zionism. The party's principal aim was to change Chaim Weizmann's moderate policies toward the British Mandatory regime.
The declared goals of Revisionist ideology included relentless pressure on Great Britain, including petitions and mass demonstrations, for Jewish statehood on both banks of the Jordan River; a Jewish majority in Palestine; a reestablishment of the Jewish regiments; and military training for youth.
The Revisionists waged a heated debate in the Zionist Organization [ZO] concerning the immediate and public stipulation of the final aim of Zionism. When their approach was rejected, they seceded from the ZO (1935) and established the New Zionist Organization. They returned to the ZO in 1946, explaining that this became possible after the Biltmore Program had proclaimed the establishment of a Jewish commonwealth in Palestine as the goal of Zionism.
The National Military Organization (Etzel [the Irgun]) and some members of the Jewish Freedom Fighters (Lehi) came from the ranks of the Revisionists. After the State of Israel was established, the Revisionist Zionist Organization merged with the Etzel-founded Herut movement to form the Herut party, a component of the Likud, one of Israel's two main political parties.
Socialist Zionism
Socialist Zionism (or Labor Zionism) strove to achieve Jewish national and social redemption by fusing Zionism with Socialism. Its founder was Nachman Syrkin, who promulgated this view shortly before the third Zionist Congress (1899).
Its philosophy was based on the assumption that the problem of Diaspora Jewry would remain unsolved even after the Socialist revolution, and that the solution to the anomaly of Jewish existence was the emigration of Jews to, and their concentration in, a territorial base. Dov Ber Borochov, a prominent advocate of Socialist Zionism, argued that the development of capitalism would inevitably prompt Jews to immigrate to Palestine, and that only there could the economic structure of the Jewish people be reconstituted as a base for the class struggle of the Jewish proletariat. Zionism, he asserted, is a historic-economic necessity for the Jewish people and the historic role of spearheading the Jewish national liberation process is reserved for the Jewish proletariat.
Disagreements about the conceptual and philosophical foundations of Socialist Zionism, the methods to use in achieving it in Palestine and relations with Socialist organizations and parties in other countries, led to the formation of many and sundry Socialist Zionist parties. Some of these entities eschewed Marxist terminology and refrained from explicitly terming themselves Socialist. Others, considering themselves more Socialist and less Zionist, forswore membership in the Zionist Organization at various times.
The Socialist Zionist idea gave rise to many pioneering youth movements, such as Hashomer Hatz'air and Hehalutz. The leaders of Socialist Zionist parties were among the most prominent in the pre-independence Palestine community and the State of Israel; David Ben-Gurion, Yitzhak Ben-Zvi and Berl Katznelson are but three examples. Socialist Zionism is the progenitor of most of Israel's settlement movements and the Israel Labor Party, one of Israel's two main political parties.
Spiritual/Cultural Zionism
Spiritual Zionism (or Culural Zionism) - a trend in Jewish nationalist thinking and Zionist ideology, was most prominently championed by Ahad Ha'am (Asher Zvi Ginsberg), one of the leaders of Hibbat Zion, a predecessor of Zionism.
In contrast to the views of Theodore Herzl and Political Zionism, in which Jewish statehood was advocated as a solution to the question of the Jews, Ahad Ha'am saw the crux of the problem in the question of Judaism, which, he believed, had lost its spiritual assets - its sources of creative and national might.
Because Ahad Ha'am did not believe that Palestine could accommodate all of Jewry, a Jewish state there, in his estimation, would not solve the problem of the Jews' social and economic status. Efforts should concentrate on establishing a national spiritual center, a hub of high-quality life in Palestine, that would radiate to all Diaspora communities.
The correct course of action, Ahad Ha'am argued, is extensive and continuing educational activity among Jews and moderate settlement activity in Palestine.
Synthetic Zionism
"Synthetic Zionism" is a doctrine that coalesced at the eighth Zionist Congress (1907). Chaim Weizmann (who later became the first President of Israel) was its principal champion. A merger of Political and Practical Zionism, "Synthetic Zionism" advocated concurrent action on both tracks: political activity coupled with practical endeavor in Palestine. It also stressed Zionist activity in the Diaspora, such as modernized education, collecting money for the Jewish National Fund and active participation, on separate Jewish tickets, in national and local elections.
"Synthetic Zionism," with its guidelines-political realism, flexibility and the quest for a common denominator among the partners in the Zionist idea-dominated the Zionist movement from the Tenth Congress (1911) onward.
Radical Messianic Zionism
Until 1967 religious Zionists in Israel were marginalized both by the secular majority, and by the more visibly religious groups that seemed to offer a more authentic, uncompromising brand of religion.
The Six-Day War of June 1967 resulted in the the capture of East Jerusalem and other territories of the Biblical Land of Israel.
The long-range fate of these territories, and their Arab inhabitants, became a major controversy of Israeli policy makers. From a purely secular perspective, the choice was between the military security that was offered by the expanded borders and the relative demographic stability that would be achieved by excluding their large Arab population from the domain of a Jewish state.
A religious claim provided strong justification for those who wished to hold on to the occupied territories: If the State of Israel was viewed as the unfolding of a Messianic scenario, then the miraculous victory of the Six-Day War was an essential stage in that process. The territories belong to the Jewish people (i.e., the State of Israel) by Divine decree and they may not be handed over to foreign hands.
The issue of territories, viewed in an eschatological context, became the defining feature for broad segments of religious Zionism in the post-1967 era.
Under the spiritual leadership of Rabbi Kook's son Zvi Yehudah Kook, with its centre in the yeshivah founded by the elder Kook, Jerusalem's "Merkaz Harav," thousands of modern young religious Jews campaigned actively against any territorial compromise, and established numerous settlements throughout Judea and Samaria. Many of these settlements, though originally founded illegally, were subsequently granted official recognition by the Israeli government, especially under right-wing regimes.
The most powerful political voice of the movement against territorial compromise became "Gush Emunim" (the Bloc of the Faithful).
However the fundamental policies of Gush Emunim filtered down to the mainstream, particularly to religious educational networks, in which a land-centered nationalism was presented as the highest form of religious virtue, and the histories of Zionism and the State of Israel were viewed as irreversible steps in the unfolding Messianic fulfillment.
The aspirations of Gush Emunim were widely respected by the Jewish public, especially as long as Arab intransigence made the return of the territories a far-off theoretical possibility.
When peace agreements with Egypt (1977) and the Palestine Liberation Organization (1993) put the return of occupied lands onto the actual political agenda, Gush Emunim found itself in active opposition to the policies and laws of the State of Israel.
In the '90's mainstream Rabbis were ordering religious Jews to disobey military commands to evacuate occupied lands, and branding Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin a "traitor" to the higher Jewish cause. A follower of these views assassinated Rabin in November 1995.
The Gush Emunim movement, like the secular right-wing parties, was generally vague or ambivalent about the status of the non-Jewish residents of the occupied territories. A more extreme position was taken by Meir Kahane, whose banned racist party "Kach" scorned democracy as an un-Jewish import, and advocated laws that would prohibit sexual and social contact with Arabs, actively calling for the eviction of Arabs from territories that belonged by rights to the Jews.
Territorialism preached the formation of a Jewish collective in Palestine, or anywhere else, on the basis of self-rule. The territorialist outlook coalesced in the debate over the Uganda Program. In July 1905, after the Zionist Congress rejected this plan, the Territorialist Jewish Organization was established in Basle under the leadership of the writer Israel Zangwill. It attempted to locate territory suitable for Jewish settlement in various parts of Africa, Asia, and Australia, but with little success. The Balfour Declaration and the resulting Zionist awakening negated the movement and led to its dissolution in 1925.
Other territorialist attempts, meant as counterweights to Zionism, were undertaken in the Soviet Union between the two world wars. The first was in the southern Ukraine and the northern Crimea, where four non-contiguous "national districts" (raiony) were established in the early 1920s and obliterated when the Nazis invaded. The second was in Birobidjan, where a "Jewish Autonomous Region" was proclaimed in 1934. This venture also failed, leaving a small Jewish minority in the region. In 1935, in response to the Nazi accession to power in Germany, Isaac Nachman Steinberg established the Freeland League in the United States. This organization attempted, unsuccessfully, to pursue Jewish autonomy by obtaining a large piece of territory in sparsely populated areas in Ecuador, Australia, or Surinam.
None of the territorialist movements are today viable.

Latest Release Drives Readers through Purchasing Funnel
The newest features in Adobe Digital Publishing Suite enable publishers and organizations to drive readership, consumer purchase, and customer loyalty. Available today, the latest features of DPS are designed to entice readers toward purchase by allowing them to view publications on a website, sample free articles within an issue, and have optimized reading experiences on iPhone 5 and Android.
Embed Publications within Websites
Many of our customers use the social sharing feature in Digital Publishing Suite. Once an article has been shared to a social network such as Facebook or Twitter from within the DPS app, readers can experience DPS articles in a web view (through what is officially known as Content Viewer for Web). Social sharing has proven valuable in helping our publishing and corporate partners reach a wider online audience and ultimately drive digital uptake of content. If you have not yet experienced the social sharing web view, view a video of social sharing that we released last year.
We have now taken this one step further. Publishers and brands can introduce new readers to your mobile publication by embedding it into your website. The highly designed mobile reading experience can be replicated online in the context of your branded website, taking advantage of web traffic to generate awareness of high value mobile content. In order to drive purchase of mobile content showcased on your site, you can designate specific articles as free, set up metered paywalls, and even create a web-only folio with articles designed specifically for online viewers. Watch Colin Fleming's video, Embed Publications within Web Sites.
Free Article Preview on iPad
Last release, we launched the "First Folio Free" feature. Publishers use this feature to give first-time readers immediate access to the most recent issue, allowing them to "try before they buy" and enticing them to make subsequent in-app purchases of additional issues or a subscription.
Free Article Preview on iPad gives publishers more options to convert browsers into buyers. Instead of offering an entire free folio, you can pique readers' interest with selected free articles and encourage them to purchase the folio by displaying teasers or upsell prompts for additional premium content. Watch Colin Fleming's video on Free Article Preview to see the full experience, as well as how to set it up paywalls associated with the free articles.
iPhone 5 Support
The iPhone 5 provides more real estate for publishers to deliver an improved reading experience. That extra space provides easier navigation within the app and full screen video without letter boxing. Content built for iPhone 4S and below will still appear as letterboxed on the iPhone 5.
PDF Content on Android
Reduce authoring costs and improve the reader experience with new support for PDF content on Android devices. By building PDF content for Android and iOS devices, publishers can reduce authoring costs and folio file sizes, and therefore download times. Not only can readers access content sooner, but they can also scale content using pinch and zoom. During the design and preview stages of development, publishers can now view PDF content on Content Viewer for Desktop.
Watch Colin Fleming's video, PDF Content on Android.
Updates to Analytics
Web Viewer Analytics: As the web viewer becomes more integral to the DPS experience, analytics are following suit. Analytics for web viewer is available with a Site Catalyst account so that publishers can understand how many readers are viewing content via web viewer, which content is the most popular, and how often each type of overlay was started.
Track Preview: In order to understand the impact of Free Article Preview, Site Catalyst in DPS allows publishers to find out how many readers are previewing content, which articles are most frequently previewed, and the number of purchase conversions driven by free articles.
Completed Article Analytics: Which articles hold readers' attention until the end? Now, DPS Site Catalyst customers can find out how many readers read a full article. In addition, publishers can find out if readers are using the Table of Contents to discover articles and move around the issue.
For a complete listing of all Site Catalyst data available in DPS, read the Adobe® SiteCatalyst Digital Publishing Report Guide

Are Digital Magazines For Real?
Earlier this week, Adobe Digital Index released the State of Mobile Benchmark, an analysis of the latest Internet browsing trends in mobile device OS and manufacturer as well as insights around the transition in the digital publishing industry to mobile apps. We're excited to report that the data showed that purchases of digital content published by Adobe Digital Publishing Suite have reached an all-time high: 80 percent of content consumed in February was paid for in the form of a subscription or purchase of a single issue. That's a 15 percent increase in paid-for content over the last 12 months. Further, digital magazine subscriptions now outsell single issues three to one.
What's more, the number of weekly issues delivered by Digital Publishing Suite has been steadily climbing for the past two years – ninety million issues have been downloaded to-date. There's no reason to expect this trend to end.
What is the big take away? Consumers are buying digital magazines at an ever-increasing pace. We're at the point where digital magazines are moving from early adopters to the mainstream, print-reading audience and they have the potential to deliver a massive amount of ad dollars. People who consume digital magazines are proving to be very high value customers given their propensity to pay for content.
Digital magazine growth is also being driven by new devices coming onto the market. According to a February 21, 2013 article in the Economist, with the introduction of the iPad in 2010, "the market had its first electronic device that could replicate and even enhance (with features like video) the curated, tactile experience of a magazine." The introduction of the iPad Mini last November added more momentum.
Therefore, it is no surprise that The State of Mobile Benchmark report indicates that tablet readership is up dramatically in the last 7 months – a 200% percent average increase in readers of titles published with Adobe DPS. As more devices come in market, readers are voraciously consuming content – from their favorite TV show totheir favorite magazines and newspapers - on devices.
And of course, consumers want their choice of devices. While tablet usage continues to skyrocket, smartphone apps are starting to also contribute to overall readership. The State of Mobile Benchmark report also indicates that 75 percent of the time consumers are reading content on tablets and 25 percent of the time they are reading content on smartphones.
For publishers this means content ought to be available to readers whenever and wherever they are and ready for any device. Even if readers don't always have their tablet with them, they'll most likely have a smartphone. We've found that reading behavior is dictated by device so publishers need to give readers an opportunity to engage with content regardless of circumstance – at home, at work, on the go. And that's key
Engagement Drives Revenue
Additionally, smart use of interactivity has been shown to increase reading times and deeper engagement with content. Case in point. Top Gear a leading UK publisher recently switched from a PDF replica publishing platform to DPS and found that engagement times with their content grew dramatically due to increased interactivity built into their issues.
This in turn has driven greater purchase of content with a sixty percent increase in paid download, eighty percent increase in single issue purchase and 165% increase in subscription revenue. Publishers are able to monetize content on devices, unlike the Web. One last point. Ad revenue jumped up 200%.
As the number of digital magazine readers continues to expand, the opportunity for increased ad revenue from interactive ads is real and immediate. Ads in a digital publication are the best of both worlds: they offer immersiveness and bring products to life. They create connection between reader and advertiser, offering creative ways to extend a brand. A recent ad engagement study from Adobe indicated that interactive tablet ads drive greater brand engagement and 2 times greater product recall as compared to static PDF ad replicas on tablets.
To get a feel for how exciting interactive ads can be, check out these examples below. Then take a look at Adobe Digital Publishing Suite. The readership and engagement metrics tell a great story, but don't take your eye off the creative potential Adobe DPS provides to make awesome digital content and ads.

New Release! New Library! New Promotional Abilities!
In this release of Digital Publishing Suite, the library gets a makeover, publishers have new options for app promotion, analytics and social sharing are further refined, and the viewer UI is designed for an improved reading experience. For detail on set up, visit the Digital Publishing Suite Help Site: What's New in this Release.
New Library User Interface
The library user interface has been re-designed to look more professional and eye-catching as well as allow readers to preview more of the app. View a slideshow of the new library UI here to see a splash page, larger grid cover images, and folio preview:
Pique the Interest of New Readers: First Folio Free
Readers new to your publication may want to "try before they buy." Now, there is a feature that allows you to distribute the latest folio for free. This feature only works with readers who have never downloaded the app before.
Tailor Content for Readers Based on Subscription Status
Enterprise publishers can create a conditional HTML article or web content overlay that displays different content depending on how the folio was obtained. For example, if the reader is new to your app, you can include a subscription promotion on the HTML article. If your reader is already a subscriber, you can use the space to sell special editions or other content.
Dynamic Subscriptions
Sample of a subscription option dialog box
Publishers can now change, add or delete subscription options available to readers on an ongoing basis. This allows publishers to do A/B testing of subscription types and hone in on the optimum subscription packages for driving sales.
Video Analytics
Sample screenshots of the video analytics report
Site Catalyst users can view more detailed analytics for video content. For example, you can find out how often the video was watched in its entirety and, if not, the duration of time that the video was played.
Download Reports
If your account has multiple titles, the download reports available on the dashboard now show downloads by issue. You can not only see the number of downloads in aggregate, but also see how many titles were downloaded each month.
Automatically Open Background-Downloaded Issue (iOS only)
Readers don't want to wait to download new folios. Now, when a new title is available on the reader's device, it will download in the background and allow readers to tap on the cover and immediately begin reading new entitled folios. This is especially helpful for newspapers, when readers are opening content on a daily basis.
Open Folio To Last-Read Article and Position
Previously, if readers switched between issues/folios of a publication, the previous folio would reset to the title page when the reader re-opened it. With this new release, readers can pick up where they left off in an article. For example, if they were half-way through an article on page 22, the folio will automatically open to that same reading position.
Local Storage on Android
When I'm doing a crossword puzzle in a newspaper, I don't want to lose my work when I flip over to my Facebook app. Now, Android apps allow readers to enter information onto a page, leave the app, and return to the same content entered on the page. (This feature is already available on iOS.)
Facebook Sharing for iOS6
In iOS6, readers can enter their Facebook and/or Twitter credentials in the iPad Settings, allowing all apps on the iOS device to connect with their accounts. Once readers have set this up and share a DPS article via Facebook or Twitter, the sharing dialogue box will seamlessly open, without asking the reader to sign in.

Benjamin Moore and Adobe Talk Creativity at NRF Big Show
Next week, retailers from around the U.S. will descend upon the National Retail Federation annual conference to share best practices for thriving in the current retail landscape. The Digital Publishing Suite team has worked with some innovative retailers, and we are proud to share the stage with Benjamin Moore to discuss how companies harness creativity in order to drive the business forward.
Bob Chin, Digital Technologies Manager at Benjamin Moore, will discuss how his team pushed the boundaries of their work to turn color cards into digital publications. Terry Fortescue, Director of Product Marketing at Adobe, will share data about the value of creativity in the workplace. In addition, she will tell some inspirational stories about the DPS team's garage week, during which engineers took a full week in the summer to pursue innovations that personally inspired them.
The conversation will be guided by Steve McGowan, Executive Creative Director at Landor Associates. McGowan will walk through eight principles of creativity that can help managers and directors develop a culture of creativity.
If you're attending the NRF Big Show, please meet us after the presentation.
The Cultivation of Creativity
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
EXPO Stage, Expo Hall, Level 1
Description: Recent studies show that 75 percent of us think we are not living up to our creative potential. So what would happen in retail if we were encouraged to be more creative, cultivated creativity and actually made more time for it? Products we sell might look different, production costs might be lower, and companies could be more forward-thinking and resilient as a result. Join us as our experts lead us to what our collective creativity might realize and achieve if nurtured and encouraged, fed and watered.

Sections Feature Released for Newspapers
Adobe Digital Publishing Suite recently released a feature designed for newspapers that allows readers to view and download specific sections. When I pick up the morning paper, I often grab my favorite sections first: Local, Business, and of course, whatever section has the comics. Newspapers want their readers to download their favorite sections and immediately dive in instead of waiting for the entire folio to download. This is also helpful because daily newspapers can consume a lot of memory on a tablet. By downloading only specific sections, tablet memory will not be consumed as quickly.
What is the reading experience like?
Library View of Sections
The prototype image pictured above shows the layout of sections. In the Library view, readers tap on a button that says "View Sections" to see today's issue organized into sections. When the reader taps on the section, it begins download. Once sections are available, browse mode will show downloaded sections side-by-side, with no reference to sections not downloaded.
How do I set it up?
Sections can be set up in Folio Producer using the latest release of DPS (v24). Publishers can define metadata for a given article. If you want to be more efficient, import an XML file that has a list of articles that belong to each section. Please note: if you do not specify section metadata for a given article, it will be downloaded with the first section that the reader selected.
Can I see it in action?
We are working with several customers that have adopted sections. Keep an eye out for future posts that highlight leading newspapers' use of sections.

Politics against social exclusion and their relation with Social Pedagogy: Guaranteed Minimum Income programs and Basic Income.
This paper discusses the role of social pedagogy in the context of struggles for economic and political democracy, particularly regarding Guaranteed Minimum Income (GMI) programs, which are some of the most significant policy initiatives to combat social exclusion in modern Welfare States. The author argues that a more effective alternative to these programs, which are rooted in liberal thought, is a Basic Income (BI) model. Not to be confused with a charity instrument against poverty, BI is a tool in a broader anti-capitalist strategy. Whether it operates in the context of GMI or BI, social pedagogy will have different expressions, goals, approaches and practices. In the context of BI and its ideological roots in Anarchist and solidarity Marxism, social pedagogy can critically address issues such as social inequalities, banking education, the relationship between education and work, and direct democracy.

Batmanning: The New Internet Meme
Lying face down with your hands at your side. Someone takes a picture. Posts it somewhere. Boom. 'Planking.'
But this is the internet. And the internet moves at warp speed. Like 'I canna mak'her go any fast'r cap'n or she might BLOW!' warp speed.
Whoever first planked was once champion, but must now hide his or her face in shame because it's over for them.
Over for them just like 'teapotting' is for the other guy or 'owling' is for that one girl or 'horsemaning' should have been from origin.
'Batmanning' is now the new internet meme craze. And unlike other memes, this one might stay for a while. Maybe even a whole month.
Of all the body-related internet memes, this one isn't easy. You can't rely on just creativity with environments and situations to make this one happen. First, you have to be able to do it. You will find more Youtube fails than successes pertained to 'batmanning.'
The high degree of difficulty comes from the way you must hold your body. To 'Batman' properly, you must be able to support your body weight with your shin muscles. At peak position, you are essentially supporting your weight on the back of your toes.
To test this, grab a television. Go on, do it. I'll wait…
Now take the television and set it on your toes. You scared? Go on! Do it!
Done? Ok, now raise it off the ground. Not the whole thing, just the part that's on your toes. If you can do it, then you're using a flat screen or some lightweight piece of crap that's easy.
I'm talking about using your grandmother's old TV. The one that doesn't even have a remote control. It has a 'clicker.' Most of the channels on it are static-y, if they come in at all. Set that one on the back of your toes and raise it. Why are you crying?
This automatically disqualifies most fatties (including most Fork Party staffers…frownie face). No way girls can pull this off unless they do the drugs that give 'em five o'clock shadows and make their boobies go away.
And most kids will have to forgo it because they're too short to do the setups correctly. Although that could make for some hilarious fail videos. Not that laughing at crying kid videos on Youtube is fun…ok, yes it is.
'Batmanning' requires you to most likely be male, athletic, young (aka stupid) and gutsy (aka extra stupid) to hang yourself from one of the weakest parts of your body and put yourself into a position that should you fail you'll land directly on your head.
Pretty soon we'll see 'Batmanning' videos of guys hanging from light poles, high walls and even buildings. All ridiculously stupid, dangerous, and nutty but so goes it with gaining Youtube glory.
But for now these guys get it right. Special setups. Oddball places, camera angles, bystanders all make for a pretty sweet 'batmanning' video. And at the rate things are going now, maybe one of the few for a while.

dash 2012 Mitsubishi i
Enlarge PhotoThe biggest pre-launch news was that the U.S.-spec Mitsubishi i would be different from that sold in Japan and Europe--wider, better equipped and more powerful. Meanwhile, the Europeans get the i as a Peugeot and Citroen, too.
Safety and technology
Small cars are unsafe, right? Only if you're still living in the 1950s. Nowadays, cars like the Mitsubishi i are thoroughly tested. That means smashing them into barriers. Hard. It's useful too, whether you want to power road signals in a power outage, or supplement your house electricity, as shown in the MiEV House at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.
In the media, and offbeat
Want people to hear about your product? Promote it! The weirder the better. Whether that means lending one to the Governator, or sending a racing driver up Pikes Peak in one, any publicity is good publicity. Right?...
