Rapid advances in information technology are yielding applications that can do anything from answering game show questions to driving cars. But to gain true leverage from these ever-improving technologies, companies need new processes and business models.
In the past few years, progress in information technology — in computer hardware, software and networks — has been so rapid and so surprising that many present-day organizations, institutions, policies and mind-sets are not keeping up. We used to be pretty confident that we knew the relative strengths and weaknesses of computers vis-à-vis humans. But computers have started making inroads in some unexpected areas — and this has significant implications for managers and organizations.
A clear illustration of the dramatic increase in computing power comes from comparing a book published in 2004 with an announcement made in 2010. The book is The New Division of Labor by economists Frank Levy and Richard Murnane, and it's a thoroughly researched description of the comparative capabilities of computers and human workers.
In its second chapter, titled "Why People Still Matter," the authors present a spectrum of information-processing tasks. At one end are straightforward applications of existing rules. These tasks, such as performing arithmetic, can be easily automated, since computers are good at following rules.
At the other end of the complexity spectrum are pattern recognition tasks where the rules can't be inferred. The New Division of Labor gives driving in traffic as an example of this type of task, and asserts that it is not automatable:
The … truck driver is processing a constant stream of [visual, aural and tactile] information from his environment. … [T]o program this behavior we could begin with a video camera and other sensors to capture the sensory input. But executing a left turn against oncoming traffic involves so many factors that it is hard to imagine discovering the set of rules that can replicate a driver's behavior. …
Articulating [human] knowledge and embedding it in software for all but highly structured situations are at present enormously difficult tasks. … Computers cannot easily substitute for humans in [jobs like truck driving].1
The Leading Question
What are the strategic implications of recent dramatic advances in information technology?
- Computers are now making surprising inroads into tasks once done only by humans.
- Digitization is not a one-time project; it's an ongoing process.
- Think about developing new business models and processes that combine workers with ever-more-powerful technology to create value.<

55 minutes into the movie I had to look up the cast and there he was , at the top of the list Director : Tyler Perry . I should have known . I love love love his movies
What a great movie! I'm not a colored girl but I sure appreciated the poetic interweavings and wonderful portrayal of the women in this movie. I have never written a review on any movie but I was compeled to give this one 5 stars.
I would give this movie a no star if I could. I totally agree with Krauseneck123 it's 2 hours of my life I will never get back. My husband was being optimistic and was hoping the movie would pick up somehow and of course it didn't. I am a woman of color and my life is no where close to this mess of characters with their dramatic woes of haiku, poetry, and
Wow!! Janet gave a awesome performance. So did the rest of the cast..
I first want to say that unfortunately a lot of people in the world wouldn't know a masterpiece if they were slapped with it! This is coming from a Not-So-Die-Hard-Fan-Of-Tyler.

Stridor is a gasping sound during inhalation resulting from a partial blockage of the throat (pharynx), voice box (larynx), or windpipe (trachea).
Stridor is usually loud enough to be heard at some distance. The sound is caused by turbulent airflow through a narrowed upper airway. In children, the cause may be croup, an inhaled foreign object, or, rarely, an infection of the epiglottis. In adults, the cause may be a tumor, an abscess, swelling (edema) in the upper airway, or a malfunction of the vocal cords.
Stridor that causes shortness of breath when the person is at rest is a medical emergency. In such cases, a tube may be inserted through the person's mouth or nose (tracheal intubation) or through a small surgical incision directly into the trachea (tracheostomy) to allow air to get past the blockage and prevent suffocation. The cause usually becomes clear during tracheal intubation, when the doctor can see the upper airway directly. If tracheal intubation is not done, the diagnosis is usually determined by inserting a flexible viewing tube through the nose and upper airway (a procedure called nasopharyngeal laryngoscopy).

When I pick the button in the circuit manager to show circuited devices, it no longer zooms into the area where they are located? what am I doing wrong? Has anyone else had this problem?
I am having this problem too. The circuit descriptions were not filled out while circuiting and now I am trying to go back and find each circuit and fill out the descriptions so that my panel schedules get populated. With this command not zooming in and highlighting all devices on that circuit, it is very frustrating trying to figure out what is on each circuit. Show circuited devices command use to zoom and highlight devices which was a great command. How can I get this to work like it did in previous releases?

Buy This! It's Good For You!
More People Should Start Airbrushing Their Facebook Photos
12:30 pm, November 19th | by Sarah Devlin
This morning, Jezebel took on an LA Times feature about the growing market for photo airbrushing services, often used to give people's social media profiles a little bit of extra oomph.
From the original LA Times article:
But new advances in relatively cheap photo retouching apps and computer software are making it astonishingly simple for anyone to look hot at the push of a button. Computer photo-retouching software options include Portrait Professional (www.portraitprofessional.com, $29.95). Download or buy the CD and it guides you through reshaping your face, smoothing your skin, whitening your teeth and eyes as well as removing pimples, moles and freckles.
Then there's the Smartphone app designed for both iPhone and iPad called Pimple Eraser, which is sold on iTunes for 99 cents and promoted as a way to "Give yourself clear skin before uploading your next photo to Facebook or Twitter…"
Consumers seem eager to take advantage of the possibilities. Alex Vlachos, owner of Black Frog Industries, the company behind Pimple Eraser, says a free version of the app that's not quite as advanced as the 99-cent option has been downloaded about 2 million times, largely by consumers in Asia, over a period of about 16 months. He estimated that over the last two years, the paid version of the app had been downloaded between 100,000 and 200,000 times.
Jezebel finds this kind of electronic fiddling deeply narcissistic and sad, and I could agree more.
To make matters worse, narcissism combined (ironically) with a complete lack of self-awareness is bolstering a cottage industry of terrible photographers who make a living slinging poorly composed portraits so heavy-handed on the post-production that their subjects resemble ghosts who were photographed at the moment of nuclear impact. And while this industry, from the look of it, is providing jobs to about 25% of my former high school classmates, it is hurting America and must be stopped. It's fun to feel like a glamorous celebrity, but it's not fun — or honest — to portray yourself as one.
However. I also see some potential here. You see, I am part of a large and often silent majority (minority? I don't actually know) of people who photograph terribly. Anytime someone takes a picture of me that isn't a candid it's as though I consciously sought out the worst lighting, the most terrible angles and the wonkiest eye situation available. It is a regular source of embarrassment; I haven't taken a cute picture in years. I try to combat it by owning all of my worst pictures and never untagging myself in a photo on Facebook simply because it's unflattering. But think of it this way — if everyone starts airbrushing out their bad skin, whitening their teeth and eliminating their pores, I stand to become part of an increasingly rare elite: the people who look way better in person than they do in their photos. It's the aesthetic equivalent of a mic drop, and the more people who get on board this ridiculous airbrushing train, the better. Think about it.

3 Cups Nut Flour (Ground Almonds work well)
3 Eggs Beaten
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2-2/3 cup honey
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 mashed bananas (extra Ripe)
Mix all ingredients
Pour into buttered baking pan
Bake at 350 degrees F/180 C until top springs back when touched (about 40 minutes)
This is from Breaking the Vicious Cycle. It has cakes/Souffles/cookies/candies/ice creams etc. for Diabetics and other sensitive food types!
Have I debaucherized you to the point of trying an Oasis yet?? :)
I made your banana bread on the weekend. It's pretty good -- the ground almonds give it a different taste and texture than regular banana bread. My hubby doesn't like banana bread, so I froze most of the loaf. I sliced it first, so now I can just take out a slice, nuke it for a few seconds, and then pop it into the toaster to heat it up. Yummy!!
I had no idea Loblaws sold that sort of thing. It seems too "exotic" for a regular grocery store!!
Hope you don't mind that I let the Oasis secret out on the D&D board :)
They sell ground almonds at Loblaws in the spice section. It's in the no-name plastic pouch things. I buy it all the time for my banana smoothies. YUMMY!
If we could stay away from our Oasis, I'll make you one some time. ;)
Thanks for letting me know :) Finding Paint Cafe paint will require an expedition into a foreign province, but there's plenty of Bulk Barns nearby :)
Have you tried making this recipe with regular flour or whole wheat flour instead of nut flour?? I have no idea where to buy nut flour, and I'm sure it'd take heck of a lot of nuts to grind them down into 3 cups of flour!!

KickOff Luncheon brings Bobcats together
"Excitement" was the preeminent word that swirled within the City of San Marcos Conference Center room walls Thursday with more than 700 people in attendance for the Bobcat Club's KickOff Luncheon.
A record crowd convened at the Embassy Suites to hear head football coach Dennis Franchione, head volleyball coach Karen Chisum and head soccer coach Kat Conner give state-of-the-team speeches. Texas State boosters were also coaxed to open their wallets by former Bobcat and Denver Broncos running back Reggie Rivers, who emceed the event.
Bobcat Club members, coaches, student-athletes, administrators and media were all on hand. Thursday's event was a primary example of Texas State's exponential growth and the buzz surrounding its burgeoning athletic program.
"We've come a long ways since Luby's," said Texas State Athletic Director Dr. Larry Teis in the opening address. "Remember the days where we started this luncheon at the Activities Center with about 100 people to kickoff? Then we moved to Luby's. This is great...we are right at 700 people for this luncheon. It's unbelievable."

PROVIDENCE ã The wins havenãt exactly come against Murderersã Row. Certainly thatãs food for thought with the Providence Friars in the midst of a 10-day exam period, Ed Cooleyãs first PC team standing at 9-2.
To the Providence mentor, the fact that the Friars own an RPI of 130 and a strength of schedule of 300 (out of a possible 344 teams, according to realtimeRPI.com) heading into Mondayãs action is inconsequential. Cooley is more concerned with the here-and-now, hence why he took the time following Saturdayãs game against Bryant to scoff at the notion that the Friarsã record is Charmin soft.
ãIf you would have told us back on March 22 [the day Cooley was hired] transitioning to take over another program that weãd be 9-2 regardless of who youãre playing, Iãd kiss everyone on the lips,ã said Cooley, speaking words that are probably more suited for a visual setting rather than in print in order to get the complete effect. ãWhen itãs all said and done itãs about wins.ã
The days of poor chemistry and defensive woes appear to be over as melding the holdovers from the Keno Davis years with a coach who doesnãt pull any punches has been far from a painstaking transition. That this aforementioned culture shift has taken place in a relatively short amount of time is a testament to the booming presence of Cooley, someone whoãs not afraid to wield the hammer and show heãs in complete command (see Kadeem Batts).
With 11 games in the books, here are a few more items weãve learned about the Friars:
Rising to the occasion
For the most part the Friars have resembled an actual T-E-A-M, one that is 9-2 not because of loading up on nondescript cannon fodder, but because Cooleyãs message of playing hard and together has not fallen on deaf ears.
You could point to a number of games ã ones against Fairfield, Holy Cross, Boston College and Bryant immediately spring to mind ã where the Friars were in trouble before digging deep and scratching their way toward the final buzzer. When was the last time you could say that about a PC team?
A disturbing lack of late-game execution was one of Davisã downfalls as PCãs coach with the Friars resembling nothing more than a turnstile on defense while showing little attention to the concept of sharing the ball. Thatãs why it was so refreshing on Saturday to see leading scorer Vincent Council drive and dish to Bryce Cotton, whose 3-pointer from the corner put the Friars up four against the Bulldogs with under three minutes left.
In that same game Providence dug in defensively, holding the visitors to without a field goal for over six minutes. That the clampdown job came one game after PC held Boston College to nine points in the final 8:17 emphasizes the point that these Friars under Cooley wonãt resemble a cadaver come crunch time.
Ride ãem hard
The most surprising stat isnãt the 64.1 ppg the Friars are surrendering, a figure down significantly from the Davis era. Cooleyãs forte is defense so to see Providence shed off points isnãt totally unexpected.
What jumps out are the heavy minutes logged by Council (37.5), Cotton (37.3), LaDontae Henton (36.5) and Gerard Coleman (33.7). To see one of these players taking an extended breather is rare. As Cotton noted, he and his fellow running mates expect to shoulder the burden to the point that growing tired simply is not an option ã not on a PC team that is thin roster-wise to begin with.
ãWeãre well-conditioned and I feel our bodies have adopted to the point where weãre used to this type of play,ã Cotton said. ãThereãs going to be some aches and pains but itãs not too much to handle.ã
Itãs worth noting that Cooley changed his stance from the start of the season when he remarked that the Friars should be able to withstand the workload due to young legs. Such a belief likely stems from Cooley holding out hope that the Kiwi Gardner situation would ene favorably and provide the Friars with a much-needed additional body. After 11 games in less than a monthãs time in which Cooley had little choice but to lean on the Friarsã core, thereãs no question that the 10-day respite is most welcome.
ãOur personnel, it is what it is,ã said Cooley, stealing a line from Bill Belichickãs vernacular. ãIf weãre going to have four guys score, well, they have to score enough for the Friars to win.
ãWe got right to the finish line before studies,ã Cooley went on. ãIf we played (the day following the Bryant game), I donãt know what happens, but weãre not.ã
Paging the bigs
Why Council, Cotton, Henton and Coleman have so much on their plate stems from the lack of an inside presence. Combine the stat lines of Bilal Dixon, Ron Giplaye, Brice Kofane and Lee Goldsbrough and you have the production that equates to roughly eight points and 15 rebounds. Such paucity could result in some long, lonely nights along the Big East trail for Providence.
Itãs clear where this Friar team is trending, but it would be nice to see someone from the forward spot step to the forefront and provide some relief. Lets hope for the sake of argument that Batts has learned his lesson and is back on the floor come next Tuesday against New Hampshire.
LaDontae Henton is a keeper
Itãs rare to see a Friar first-year player make an immediate impact, but Henton has been the exception. His baptism-by-fire to the college game has gone exceedingly well to the point that Monday saw the Michigan native earn Big East Rookie of the Week honors for the second consecutive week.
Henton has been so consistent (14 ppg, 8,5 rebounds) that itãs reached the point where well-rounded games are not only expected of him but necessary if the Friars are going to make noise come conference play.

A wireless mouse for your couch Video
A wireless mouse for your couch Video Transcript
It's Friday, January 21st. I'm Natali Morris and it's time to get loaded. Big change up at Google. CEO Eric Schmidt is stepping down and Google co-founder Larry Page is going to step up into the role of CEO. Schmidt will stay with Google as executive chairman and Google's other co-founder, Sergey Brin, will continue to work at what they're calling Projects. Schmidt indicated that this is an effort to simplify management, as if it were just taking too long to get things done because of too many executive cooks in the kitchen. This change happens April 4th. Couch potatoes, this one's for you. The new Logitech wireless mouse M515 works on your sofa. It's made specifically for this purpose. It has a sealed bottom case so you can plop yourself down on your laptop and have a mouse that can plop right down with you. It launches in April in Europe and we assume shortly thereafter in the US. Verizon has fired the first shot in challenging the new net neutrality rules. The company filed an appeal in the US Court of Appeals challenging the SEC's recently adopted net neutrality rules. Specifically, they challenged that the SEC has overstepped its boundaries in making such a move. They want the court to stay implementation of the new rules which go into effect 60 days after the SEC post the rules to the federal register which could be any day now. Google isn't the only company going through a corporate shakeup. HP has replaced four board members and added five brand new ones, including former eBay CEO Meg Whitman. All five new members report for duty in March. Google may be ready to release a competitor to Groupon, the local deal finding site. Remember, Google tried to acquire Groupon last month but to no avail. Google's homemade version is said to be called Google Offers and it sounds just like Groupon, aimed at matching potential customers with businesses through daily e-mail deals. This product hasn't been formally announced but Google has confirmed that they're working on it. Don't you wish old online photos of you would just disappear? A new technology would make it so. German researchers have created a software called X-Pire. It would give your online photos an expiration date. Once that date passes, the images would no longer be viewable or copyable. It's a cool idea but you'd have to set the expiration date when you publish the photo, meaning you have to have the presence of mind to know that this photo has the potential to embarrass you, meaning you probably should know better. And get ready for Angry Birds the Animated Series. Rovio has planned to turn its hit iPhone game into a cartoon. We saw the game in board game form earlier this month at CES. It's not uncommon for a big franchise like this to come to multiple medium, but that usually happens with children's products and I'm not so sure Angry Birds the Animated Series would be for children. Isn't it a little too angry? And if you're interested in knowing who holds the title for most cursing in a video game, you might be interested in the 2011 Guinness World Records Gamers Edition. It was published on Thursday and has all kinds of fun and useless facts like the most people to sing a karaoke game together, or the most perfect Wii bowler who happens to the oldest record holder in the book. It is 85-year-old John Bates from Wisconsin. That's your news of the day and that wraps up your week of getting loaded. If you want more about any of our stories today, visit CNET.com/loaded. I'll see you next week. I'm Natali Morris for CNET.com and you've just been loaded.

You can bump 'n grind while simulating orgasm on MTV, and you can cram prime-time TV with cleavage galore, but you can't bust out the right half of an R&B diva's very substantial rack during the world's most-watched sporting event. Justin Timberlake probably had no idea what kind of maelstrom he'd set off when, during the halftime show of the 2004 Superbowl, he ripped open Janet Jackson's bustier and her luscious boob popped out, replete with a sunburst nipple shield, The stunt – famously deemed a "wardrobe malfunction" – sparked over half a million complaints to the FCC, and framed Jackson a pop pariah.
The so-called Nipplegate scandal happened at a time when Jackson could have benefited from a little notoriety. But the dreary Damita Jo, released a few weeks later, kinda stiffed, and Jackson never pulled out of her career slump – a bummer. But perhaps the real bummer is that even the slightest whiff of sex has been banished from Superbowl acts ever since.

Human remains have been discovered in two separate water sewage plants in Los Angeles County, California.
According to authorities, workers spotted an upper torso of a female Monday in a bin that holds debris separated from sewage water at a waste treatment plant in Bassett. (Via KABC)
"During a check for a plug in a line, they discovered a human torso. The head was actually still attached to the body. It was very much damaged." (Via KCAL)
Police say they believe the discovery is related to remains found Saturday in another water treatment plant in Carson. Employees there reportedly found two legs, a foot, and a pelvis. (Via WBNS)
The two sets of remains most likely flowed into the plants through the Los Angeles County Sanitation District's sewer system.
Police suspect the body entered the system intact through a manhole before the treatment process pulled it apart. (Via KNBC)
Crews are reportedly in the process of draining the sewage system's tank to find the body's other missing parts, including the left arm. (Via KCBS)
A medical examiner is expected to confirm if the remains belonged to the same body and determine the cause of death.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission's chief information security officer, Pat Howard, will be stepping down from his post as of April 7, he said in an interview with Federal Computer Week.
Howard, who has been in the job at NRC since 2008, is retiring from government and will take a private sector position based outside of Denver.
"I'm retirement-eligible and have been for a couple years," he said. "I've found an opportunity to relocate to Colorado, which is a place my wife and I have been wanting to settle in for quite a long time – so this gives me an avenue to do that. It was an opportunity I couldn't say no to."
Howard said he is taking a job with SecureInfo, a subsidiary of Kratos Defense, on a contract in support of the National Science Foundation.
"I'll be continuing to do work as a CISO, but in a different location, in a different capacity, for a different client," he said.
Howard said that recently he has focused his efforts at NRC on implementing internal cybersecurity measures. For example, he developed an enterprise cybersecurity program and worked with his staff to establish standards, provide training, ensure compliance and maintain visibility of the agency's IT systems.

Well this response was alot better than your first I give you that. Anyhow time for the facts 1st of all the dead summoning seal is not a seal that minato invented. Actually, its a seal that the uzumaki clan developed and it just so happens that minato was the first to use it since kushinas family members are uzamaki. Minato never taught hiruzen that move actually hiruzen copied that move or learned it else where in his vast lifetime that he lived and reigned as hokage. And yes Jiraiya praised him as being a gifted and talented shinobi but to say what you have said means minato is more gifted and talented than Hashirama.
I like minato but just remember he was a replacement hokage since orochimaru had evil ways. Hiruzen more than likely knew that technique and hiruzen trained directly under the 1st and 2nd hokages. Minato was a great hokage no doubt but in no way will I entertain the notion that he is better than the 3 hokages that came before him.
I am sorry everyone for wasting your time on a thread that is really about the chapter discussion not a character war.

The Pew Charitable Trusts is driven by the power of knowledge to solve today's most challenging problems. Pew applies a rigorous, analytical approach to improve public policy, inform the public and stimulate civic life.
Apr 22, 2009
When Americans are asked to assess television news coverage of Barack Obama, Fox News Channel stands out from other networks for being too critical of the president. Nearly three-in-ten (29%) select Fox when asked which of six broadcast and cable news networks have been too critical of the new Democratic president, a far greater share than any other network.
In contrast, no one TV network is singled out for being too easy on Obama. Each of five networks (CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC and CBS) was named by about one in six respondents in this regard. Again, the Fox News Network stands apart – just 5% named Fox as being too easy on the president.
The latest weekly News Interest Index survey, conducted April 17-20 by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, finds a substantial partisan divide in views of how TV news networks cover Obama. More than four-in-ten Democrats (44%) say Fox has been too critical of Obama, compared with 25% of independents and just 18% of Republicans. No other network comes close to Fox, though 11% overall – including 18% of Democrats – say CNN has been too critical of the president. Very few Americans cite the broadcast networks – ABC (4%), NBC (4%) or CBS (3%) – as too critical.

Coloboma of the iris is a hole or defect of the iris of the eye. Most colobomas are present since birth (congenital).
Coloboma of the iris may look like a black, round hole located in or next to the colored part of the eye (iris). It can look like a black notch of different depths at the edge of the pupil. This gives the pupil an irregular shape. It can also appear as a split in the iris from the pupil to the edge of the iris.
A small coloboma (especially if it is not attached to the pupil) may allow a second image to focus on the back of the eye, causing:
The defect may include the retina, choroid, or optic nerve.
Colobomas are generally diagnosed at, or shortly after, birth.
Coloboma can occur due to:
Most cases of coloboma have no known cause and are not related to other abnormalities. A small percentage of people with coloboma have other inherited developmental problems.
Contact your health care provider if:
Note: It is appropriate to see an ophthalmologist for vision problems. Your primary health care provider may need to help rule out disorders associated with coloboma of the iris.
Your health care provider will take a medical history and do an examination.
The patient is usually an infant, and the family history will be most important.
The physical examination will include a detailed eye examination, which may involve:
After seeing your health care provider:
You may want to add a diagnosis related to a coloboma to your personal medical record.

We like to talk about artists' contradictory impulses, but with Björk, it's more apt to talk about unities. In a career that's nearing its fourth decade, she's coupled many of the major dualities: intellect and body, auditory and visual, nature and technology. A map of her stylistic forays reads like a condensation of Rip It Up And Start Again: a very early folk start, then stints in post- and anarcho-punk outfits, followed by a series of idiosyncratic dance broadsides pasted onto pop's center pole. She could have made a career of issuing albums in the vein of her first two: textured, au courant electronic-pop. Instead, she invested her capital into a series of ambitious, sprawling sonic expeditions.
Björk is frequently described as a "pop star," which makes sense as component concepts. She's placed 20 singles in the top 40 of the enviably omnivorous UK charts. No one has used the medium of short-form music videos to display so much wonder; in doing so, she collaborated with a staggering number of film, design, and fashion heavies: Michel Gondry, Sophie Muller, Chris Cunningham, Alexander McQueen, Eiko Ishiokam, Spike Jonze — even Ren & Stimpy creator John Kricfalusi. She's sold millions of records, has a legion of dedicated fans, and the financial freedom to attempt nearly every project she can imagine. And still, she is not quite a pop star, at least not Stateside. To most Americans, the mention of her name conjures visions of swans and assault charges. She can headline Bonnaroo — as she is doing this year, alongside Paul McCartney, Mumford & Sons, and Tom Petty — but she's never placed a single higher than No. 84 on the Hot 100.
Still, Björk exists in that rarified air of commercial success, critical adoration, and creative freedom. She's a saint in the indie-rock community — an amusing happenstance, considering the major-label resources that have been at her disposal since her Sugarcubes days, to say nothing of the genres (electronic, dance-pop, jazz) she investigated. But the reason she's beloved are obvious: She has made a career out of succeeding on her own terms, ever since her Crass-associated days with KUKL. The stereotype of her as an aloof Icelandic sprite may persist, but Björk remains a restless, collaborative artist, capable of effortlessly expressing her humanity through whatever raw material interests her. Discussing Kate Winslet's performance in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind (directed by frequent collaborator Gondry), Björk noted to the Guardian's Liz Hoggard that "[u]sually when you see females in movies, they feel like they have these metallic structures around them, they are caged in by male energy. But she could be at her full volume without restrictions." And so it has been for Björk in a career that shows no sign of creative regression.
What follows is a ranking of Björk's seven studio albums, with her soundtracks for Lars von Trier and Matthew Barney omitted. Let the music-video ranking debate commence in the comments. Start the Countdown here.

Agreed. I love Homogenic, but Vespertine is timeless. Probably her only truly timeless album. And one of the most intimate albums I've ever heard.
I was a little disappointed that this didn't include her 1977 self titled album she released when she was eleven. Never heard it, interested to though.

I don't understand the hate for the 2 newest albums. When you look at what she was trying to create with Biophilia I think it is one of the most creative pieces of art in music history. The songs were not all that great but at the same time as a whole the album flows well. Volta has highs and lows but Declare Independence is one of the best songs she has ever written. I also don't understand all the praise for Vespertine, Vespertine has always been miles behind the rest for me. I find it very boring.

(This is cross-posted from my NASCAR blog.)
Part of my main goal for 2011, a/k/a Operation Getting My Life Back, is to some degree getting back into the Diecast Dude state of mind. While I haven't the taste for resurrecting the pitched battles with others that marked my halcyon days, I also have no desire to turn this space into Mr. Rogers Goes To NASCAR Land. Or teenage wasteland (cue the Who). Thus, I am working toward finding the balance between pastoral and pugnacious. Along with time to write and such. Getting well would be nice, too.
Anyway, I've been observing from afar the brouhaha over what took place in Daytona. Not on the track, mind you. In the media center, where at the race's conclusion the sacred seal of silence was broken by the apocalyptic acidity of applause. By some, anyway.
Ever since the sordid, or so it is said by several, incident more gallons of electronic ink have been spilled on the matter than on Trevor Bayne. Speaking of the Knoxville lad, if the hype is beginning to turn you off, don't let it. The kid is genuinely nice, sincere, and a talented young driver with a tremendous upside. But enough racing talk; back to what really matters — pontificating pundits. (Yes, I am being sarcastic.)
There are two schools of thought as to what happened, reminding one of the old joke about there being two theories on how to argue with women, neither of which work. One side says it was a one-time, spontaneous response to a magic sports moment and therefore no big deal. The other side says, and says and says and says, that it violated the holy oath of impartiality, unacceptably debased the sports journalism brand and highlighted the scurrilous nature of those irresponsible, unprofessional, unethical, uneducated and most likely unwashed cretins from the crass lagoon that is the (ugh!) blogosphere. Oh, and get off my lawn, you meddlesome kids.
Were this a simple case of differing opinions, all would be fine, well and good. Both sides' argument have merit. Personal example, if I may: last year at Auto Club, during the October Nationwide race I said more than a few words out loud that would have made Richard Pryor blush when James Bueschler took out Danica Patrick. Was I rooting for her? Certainly and unashamedly. Then again, I was also the only reporter in the skybox press center at the time, yet even with that I kept all other comments strictly on the audible only to self volume level. Had I had company, as was the case during the Sprint Cup race the following day, I wouldn't have said anything. Out loud, anyway. I'm not going to stop being a fan, but subjecting journalists to distractions such as cheering and the like is unprofessional. Besides, I was there to report, not root. Not that it stopped me from rooting; rather, I rooted just as hard as ever on that weekend. Just silently.
Indulge me expanding on this.
To this not-so humble scribe, on those unfortunately rare occasions when I've entered the press box and/or media center I have viewed them as a workplace. I'm there to do a job, namely write accurately and fairly about the people, place and event that together make a weekend of racing. I also feel an obligation to be something of a fan advocate, a representative of and for the people who passionately love racing. They will most likely never have the opportunity to work a race as a media member. I have been given that opportunity, and I take seriously the belief that I should use the opportunity to provide insight and put a human face on the faces known to most solely through a television set. I'm not going to stop being a fan because I'm wearing press credentials that weekend.
That all said, when I am attending a race as media I'm working, and the areas set aside for the press are my office. In that weird and occasionally wonderful world known as the day job, I work in an office. Work is what I'm here to do, and while I do take breaks, when I'm working I hate being interrupted by the behavior, or more accurately the lack thereof, of others. This makes for many interesting moments each day, for around my office silence is golden only in that it's as scarce as gold, or if you prefer a NASCAR illustration scarcer than Kyle Busch t-shirts at a Junior Nation rally. One swiftly learns to ignore that which distracts, or else the prospect of responding in a fashion resulting in you being the lead story on all major network news programs plus CNN doing a live feed looms large. That, to put it mildly, would be overreacting on your part regardless of how justified it may feel. Keep that "overreacting" word in mind; it'll come into play later.
When I'm at work, no matter how much in vain it may be, my hope is there will be a professional environment. That said, far too often the definition of what is professional is far too limited. (Rather like how for many of us, our definition of God is too small.) Professionalism isn't strictly a matter of how we conduct ourselves. It's our interaction with others at the workplace. It's how management treats employees both publicly and privately. And it's how we interact with our customers and/or clients. An illustration of these points is how some feel closing the office door is full license for any subsequent behavior, including ranting and yelling. No, all it means is you've made it slightly more difficult for everyone else to overhear you being a clueless, classless jerk by ranting and yelling.
Traditional and new media (i.e. bloggers) have had a relationship over the past years veering from open hostility to uneasy acceptance. Generally speaking, bloggers think of themselves as peers to traditional media, with occasional forays into dismissing it as a refuge for bloviating dinosaurs. Meanwhile, traditional media thinks of bloggers as at best enthusiastic amateurs and at worst over-caffeinated self-inflated punks ignorant of proper journalistic practices, such as fairness, neutrality and decorum.
Clichés aside, there are clear differences between the two. A blogger has far more range within which to approach a given subject. They have no prohibition against weaving opinion throughout any discussion of facts. They can say what they like when they like however they like, involving themselves in the story whenever and however they like. It's gonzo journalism without apology. The trade-off is how for the most part, blogging is limited to drawing on traditional media for source material rather than having direct access to news sources themselves. At least this has been the case.
Today, with growing acceptance by news sources of blogging and bloggers as legitimate conduits of information, we're seeing direct invitations to bloggers to sit in the same seats as traditional media, covering events directly as they transpire. Taking this into the realm of NASCAR, bloggers — not all, but some — are being granted permission to participate in press conferences and access to areas that were previously strictly traditional media's realm. With privilege comes responsibility; when so invited, bloggers are expected to conduct themselves professionally. No asking for autographs; no cheering; be polite and respectful to both the people being interviewed and those doing the interviewing. You're there to write about the people and the competition, not say "look at MEEEEE!"
Fair enough. But playing the Queen of Hearts yelling "off with their heads" about members of new media when there is the slightest misstep on their part is ridiculous. The hysteria and histrionics with which what happened in Daytona has been written about is pathetic; a very poorly disguised unleashing of the fear-fueled contempt with which members of traditional media, simultaneously resentful of perceived amateurs being allowed among their ranks and terrified of how the ever-shrinking traditional media realm could well make them next in the unemployment line, see their world.
Was Tom Bowles wrong to cheer in the Daytona press box? Yes, and his hot mess of a post at Frontstretch defending his actions is thin gruel. But did his actions warrant losing his gig at Sports Illustrated, or even the volume of written tirades about how he committed what to some is the ultimate unforgivable sin? No. A simple, directly delivered "don't do that" would have sufficed.
Finally, a quote from an earlier post:
While threats against a reporter, or anyone for that matter, over such a trivial matter as perceived bias against a favorite athlete are without excuse, the incident points out the danger all media members face when engaging with their audience via social media. A reporter's obligation is to be neutral in the face of any story regardless of their beliefs or persuasion. It can be safely argued that regardless of actual intent, anything a reporter says or does publicly factors into the perception of that reporter's fairness. They do not have the luxury of saying whatever they want whenever they want without it being used against them. In an era of ever-increasing open communication, comments made in jest are ofttimes best not made at all. It's not fair, but it is reality.
In short, while it is appropriate for journalists to remind bloggers that when they are in the journalistic environment they should conduct themselves as journalists, it is equally appropriate for bloggers to remind journalists that there is no parallel for when journalists go a-bloggin'. So chill out.
