Traditional approaches to studying communication in public spheres draw upon a product or outcome orientation that has prevented researchers from theorizing more specifically about how communication behaviors either inhibit or facilitate dialogic processes. Additionally, researchers typically emphasize consensus as a preferred outcome. Drawing upon a methodology explicitly developed to study communicating using a verb-oriented framework, we analyzed 1,360 postings from online pedagogical discussions. Our analysis focused on verbing micro-practices, the dynamic communicative actions through which participants make and unmake public spheres. Two questions guided our analysis: (1) How do grounded communicative micro-moment practices relate to consensusing and dissensusing within public spheres? and (2) What are the theoretical implications of these relationships for the quality of dialogue among participants who are discussing controversial topics? Our findings indicate that, contrary to recent theorizing, consensus-building and maintaining behaviors may actually inhibit the communicative processes necessary for the creation of effective public sphere dialogue.

Longtime Boston Mayor Menino reflects, looks ahead
BOSTON (AP) — When Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino steps down after 20 years, it will feel like the end of an era for many of his constituents, a generation of whom cannot remember anyone else at City Hall. But Dody Whooten, 92, is thinking back even further.
"Tommy was 12 years old the first time I saw him — a Little League ballplayer," said Whooten, whose family lived on the same block in the city's Hyde Park neighborhood in the 1950s. "Then he got ambitious!" Whooten said with a laugh, adding: "I'm proud to know him. He's done a hell of a job for Boston."
Unlike his old friends from Hyde Park, Menino isn't using his remaining time in office to reflect on the past. He is looking forward to helping Boston University launch its Institute on Cities, where municipal leaders from across the world can share ideas on urban issues, a job that begins in February. Meanwhile, his official schedule is still overstuffed with the usual meetings and public events.
Chief among his concerns is working with Mayor-elect Martin J. Walsh, who takes office Jan. 6, to ensure a smooth transition. Menino announced earlier in the year that he would not seek a sixth term, saying he could not keep up his schedule after a series of health problems.
"We're just keeping on doing our job," Menino said in an interview at his City Hall office, still packed floor to ceiling with books, photos and mementos from his five terms in office. "We have to make sure schools continue to work, public safety's there, snow-plowing gets done — make sure the administration is set up so we don't miss a beat."
Despite his insistence that "it's not about Tommy," Menino has submitted to the sort of honors that befall a popular official on his way out of office, including the recent renaming of the Hyde Park YMCA in his honor. At that ceremony, the mayor looked both proud and a little embarrassed as neighborhood leaders praised him and serenaded him with a chorus of "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow."
"He's been mayor for so long," marveled Glendina Sillice, 41, of Mattapan, whose daughter attends day care at the YMCA. "He's definitely made a lot of changes in Boston. I hope he can take some time to take care of himself."
While Sillice, a Boston Public Schools counselor, said she wished Menino had been more successful at improving the city's education system, she added, "I do think he made a good effort."
Menino, who was widely praised for seeing the city through the aftermath of the Boston Marathon bombings, would be the first to agree that even after two decades in office, he is leaving unfinished business.
"The crime rate's way down, you have more people employed in the City of Boston now than ever before, economic development's strong. Everything's happening right. But how do we bring it to the next level?" he said. "Inequality is an issue, not just in Boston but all around the country, and we can't let that continue. ... That's an issue that I'm going to work on, even when I'm out of office."

EFI Expands Jetrion 4900 Line With Modular, Upgradeable Design And Wider Print Area At Labelexpo
FOSTER CITY, Calif., Sept. 11, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Labelexpo -- EFI™ Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (Nasdaq:EFII), a world leader in customer-focused digital printing innovation, today unveiled the new Jetrion® 4900M UV digital inkjet printing system, combining the performance of EFI's existing family of Jetrion UV digital presses with the flexibility of industrial inline web finishing. EFI is also announcing the 4900M-330, which features a 13-inch print width for increased productivity, profitability, and an expanded range of applications. The Jetrion 4900M and 4900M-330 will be shown in EFI's booth (#6423) at Labelexpo Americas, scheduled for September 11-13 in Rosemont, Illinois.
"We believe that the 4900M's modular platform will position label converters to address head-on today's challenges while providing an upgradable platform for business growth as the label market continues to evolve from analog to digital," said Sean Skelly, vice president and general manager of EFI Jetrion. "The wider form factor at 13 inches is a direct response to customer feedback and market demand. We are very excited to be bringing both of these new offerings to Labelexpo."
Lean Manufacturing Enabled for Today with Upgradable Path for the FutureUntil now, production of labels, whether flexo or digital, has required multiple production steps. The new Jetrion 4900M Series changes the game, with modular integration of finishing capabilities that result in the delivery of a finished product in a single operation, removing time and cost from the manufacturing process. This is especially critical for label converters who wish to remain competitive as both lot sizes and cycle times continue to diminish. The 4900M Series' modular design means that additional capabilities can be added as they become available or are needed, thus future-proofing this investment. Voice of the Customer "We have been partnering with EFI for some time," said Brian Rhoades, general manager of WS Packaging Group - Consolidated Products, Inc. "We started with a Jetrion 4830, were an early installation site for the 4900 and utilize EFI's Fiery® XF RIP to ensure color integrity between the presses. With the Jetrion 4900, we can print a million labels with 25 different SKUs back to back with a single set-up. It gives us the ability to respond to customer needs in a short timeframe without the added cost of dies or plates. My press doesn't stop running. That saves a huge amount of time and money, and gives our customers the peace of mind they require."

Swift brings more than two decades of leadership in education technology, public policy and administration to the REAL Commission, which has brought together leaders in education technology from industry and academia to develop a research and policy agenda for the Obama Administration and the nation. "The goals and work of the REAL Commission align perfectly with our mission at Middlebury," said Swift, who was appointed chair of the commission's Content and Curriculum Working Group. "Middlebury Interactive uses the latest technologies to help students master a world language, which makes the student – and the nation as a whole – more globally competitive. I look forward to working with my REAL Commission colleagues and federal leaders to create an agenda for the bipartisan Digital Promise initiative that propels American efforts to provide educational excellence." The REAL Commission was formed by the TechAmerica Foundation to support Digital Promise, a national center created through bipartisan support in Congress to deliver innovations that transform teaching and learning. The REAL Commission will help develop a strategy to guide Digital Promise and identify any policy hurdles that inhibit progress. The commission held its first meeting on January 19 in Washington, D.C., and discussed its goals with U.S. Education Secretary Arne Duncan and Chief Technology Officer Aneesh Chopra. The commission will submit its recommendations to the Obama Administration in April. Prior to Middlebury, Swift served as the Senior Vice President of Government Solutions and Strategy for ConnectEDU, a Boston-based private education technology company focusing on student college and career transitions. Swift earned a Bachelor of Arts in American Studies from Trinity College, in Hartford, Connecticut. As a three-term state Senator, Swift assisted in drafting the landmark 1993 Mass. Education Reform Act. As Governor from April 2001 to January 2003 she implemented many of the critical components of the new law. Recognizing the gains made under Swift's watch, the U.S. Department of Education in January 2003 declared Massachusetts schools a national model.

Brilliant Idea! A Cell Phone Defibrillatorby Boomer Babe
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is responsible for more deaths every year than AIDS, breast cancer, lung cancer and stroke combined. If the heart is not defibrillated (therapeutically shocked) within a few minutes, the victim dies. Imagine how difficult it is to reach the victims of SCA in time to save their lives.
But, suppose we each carried our own personal defibrillator, say it was a feature of our cell phones?

Cooler weather prompts warning about home safety
Bob Demers said he is lucky his home is still standing. Minutes after he turned on his propane fireplace for the first time this season, something unexpected happened.
"There's a vent here and some mice. Small animals got inside the flue and built a nest down inside of it," Demers said.
The nest caught fire and spread into the walls. Firefighters arrived in time, but it serves as an important reminder as Fire Prevention Week arrives.
"Make sure your smoke detectors are working, sprinklers are working and you have two ways out," Manchester Fire Chief James Burkush said.
The Manchester Fire Department demonstrated what a difference working sprinklers can make Sunday. In a demonstration, flames in a room lasted only 41 seconds.
"In Manchester, we've seen faulty smoke detectors. We've seen smoke detectors that have been removed or out of service, so we are encouraging people to make sure their smoke detectors work," Burkush said.
The State Fire Marshal's Office has one more tip for a fire-safe winter: Never use gasoline in fuel oil tanks.

Saints Row IV sold more than a million copies in its first week on the market, Deep Silver announced today. We quite enjoyed the super-powered open-world game, ourselves.
Notably, the PC version of Saints Row IV has outsold Saints Row: The Third's PC version three-to-one in the same period.
All those new Presidents of the United States still have plenty of alien thrashing and car smashing ahead of them, but they can expect the first mission pack DLC titled Enter the Dominatrix to arrive in a little bit more than a month. As if Saints Row wasn't self-aware enough already, Enter the Dominatrix touches on the game's strange journey from standalone expansion to full-on sequel and its flight from THQ to Deep Silver.

Human Resource Management in a Compartmentalized World: Whither Moral Agency?
- Tracy Wilcox

* Final gross prices may vary according to local VAT.Get Access
This article examines the potential for moral agency in human resource management practice. It draws on an ethnographic study of human resource managers in a global organization to provide a theorized account of situated moral agency. This account suggests that within contemporary organizations, institutional structures—particularly the structures of Anglo-American market capitalism—threaten and constrain the capacity of HR managers to exercise moral agency and hence engage in ethical behaviour. The contextualized explanation of HR management action directly addresses the question of whether HRM is inherently unethical. The discussion draws on MacIntyre's (Philosophy 74:311–329, 1999, After Virtue: A Study in Moral Theory, Duckworth, 2000) conceptualization of moral agency within contemporary social structures. In practice, HR managers embody roles that may not be wholly compartmentalized. Alternative institutional structures can provide HR managers with a vocabulary of motives for people-centred HRM and widen the scope for the exercising of moral agency, when enacted within reflective relational spaces that provide milieus for critical questioning of logics and values. This article aims to contribute to and extend debate on whether HRM can ever be ethical, and provide a means of reconnecting business ethics with longstanding concerns in critical management studies.

The life of a touring pop singer appears to be a glamorous one. But before private jets and motorcades become de rigueur, even the most famous faces endured the rite of passage that is a seven-hour trip up the M1, in the back of a small van, to play a gig. But that's all part of the fun for Jess Plummer, one quarter of soon-to-be-mega dance-pop band Neon Jungle. As part of the Xperia Access series of music exclusives, Jess fills us in on the essentials she needs to survive life on the road ...
Wear it well
If I go out without earrings I feel naked, so I always have to have on a chunky pair of gold earrings. My favourite pair were only £2.99 and I had to buy five pairs as they kept turning bronze. My hairdryer is also something I need to check five times before I've got out the door, to make sure I have it, even though I know it's there in my case.
Light reading
There'll be times on journeys when we all talk and joke, but then we'll have quieter times, when we listen to music or read magazines. Some of the girls get car sick so can't read in the van, but I often read Grazia and, if I feel like treating myself, Vogue.
Tour tunes
If I want to close my eyes, relax and keep myself to myself, I will listen to J Cole's album, Born Sinner. I'm loving that at the moment. If I am feeling a bit excited and want to get hyped up, I'll listen to a bit of Nicki Minaj or M.I.A – I think they're awesome.
Fun and Games
Not many. I used to be obsessed with Temple Run, but don't play it any more. And I've seen so many people under the spell of Candy Crush I made sure I didn't download it!
Keeping healthy
Water is important, even though that sounds really boring! We generally try to be quite healthy, and have fruit and nuts, and things like that. Shereen is a sweet fanatic and says if we see her picking up sweets in a service station we have to knock them out of her hand!
Social media
Twitter and Instagram are essential. We like to keep fans in the loop of where we are and what we're doing. It's essential to keep a dialogue with our fans. It's our journey, but we're taking them along with us.

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 07/18/14 -- iSIGN Media Solutions Inc. ("iSIGN" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: ISD)(OTCQX: ISDSF), a leading provider of interactive mobile advertising solutions that serves advertisers, manufacturers, retailers and advertising agencies throughout North America, today announced that it intends to complete a bridge financing by way of private placement of unsecured convertible promissory notes (the "Notes"), for aggregate gross proceeds of $1.5 million.
The Notes will have a term of three months (subject to adjustment upon certain events, as discussed in further detail below), and will accrue interest at a rate of 8% per annum, payable upon maturity.
The principal amount and all accrued and unpaid interest then outstanding under the Notes shall automatically be converted into units of the Company (the "Units") at a price equal to $0.25 per Unit upon closing of the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of P.O.S. Canada Inc. ("POS Canada") by the Company (the "Acquisition"). Each Unit shall be comprised of one common share of the Company (a "Unit Share") and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant shall be exercisable to acquire one common share of the Company (a "Warrant Share") for a period of two years following the date of issuance of the Warrant at an exercise price of $0.50 per Warrant Share, subject to adjustment in certain events. The Unit Shares and Warrants (and, if applicable, the Warrant Shares) will be subject to a minimum hold period of 4 months from the date of issue of the Notes.
In the event that, prior to the maturity of the Notes, either (i) the memorandum of agreement dated May 28, 2014 between the Company and POS Canada in respect of the Acquisition is terminated, (ii) the definitive agreement to be entered into by the Company and POS Canada in respect of the Acquisition (the "Definitive Agreement") is not signed by the parties on or before July 31, 2014; or (iii) the Definitive Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to the closing of the Acquisition, all obligations under the Notes shall, at the option of the holders of the Notes, accelerate and become forthwith due and payable, subject at all times to approval of the majority of the purchasers of the Notes.
The Company anticipates closing the private placement as soon as practicable, subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals, including the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. The proceeds from the sale of the Notes will be used for software development, operations and product manufacturing.
One of the proposed purchasers of the Notes, Korona Group Inc. ("Korona"), is a "related party", as such term is defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"), of iSIGN, holding approximately 10.4% of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company. As such, the issuance of Notes to Korona is a "related party transaction" for the Company. For this transaction, the Company has relied on the exemption from the formal valuation requirements of MI 61-101 contained in section 5.5(a) of MI 61-101 and has relied on the exemption from the minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in section 5.7(a) of MI 61-101.
The securities described herein have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from those registration requirements. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities nor shall there by any sale of the securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

|Even without a few big names and much size, Team USA made the most of its golden opportunity.
|Kobe Bryant went out on top, scoring 17 points against Spain to earn his second Olympic gold.
"LeBron signed off with 19 points, seven rebounds and four assists and exchanged long, tight hugs with both Krzyzewski and Durant before the final horn had even blown. Shortly thereafter, Coach K made an even bigger scene by jumping up and down on the medal stand. "It's been a great ride for me," James said upon joining Michael Jordan on the short list of players to win a gold medal, an NBA championship and the MVP trophy in the same season. "I could have never scripted it this way. A lot of people doubted us. They said we were too small. Like Chris said, it's not about size, it's about heart. And I'm happy we have so much heart on our team." Said Krzyzewski, when asked to compare his team's corresponding lack of continuity to the years of know-how and timing that the Spaniards have ridden to become Europe's best: "We just don't react as well instinctively to each other as they do. (But) the bond and camaraderie that we have, I would take it over anybody's." Krzyzewski and Bryant nonetheless insisted afterward that this was their shared swansong, leaving James and Durant and USA Basketball chairman Jerry Colangelo to carry the program forward. LeBron will be only 31 when it's time for the 2016 Games in Brazil ... and Colangelo optimistically believes that he can be convinced to stick around and become the Americans' first four-time Olympian in basketball. "LeBron is building such a legacy in terms of who he is and his personal accomplishments, he's moving himself apart from everyone else [in the modern game] and one more run might appeal to him," Colangelo said. "It's hard for someone to give this up if they have to." Just look at what a spot on this squad has done to Paul. On top of his fevered quest to get that game ball and get it signed afterward by all of his teammates, one of the proudest Wake Forest Demon Deacons you could ever wish to meet was openly professing his affection for Duke's hoops patriarch. In public. "It's tough for me to say it [from these] lips," Paul said of Krzyzewski, "but I love that guy. I love him." Said Bryant, still processing the close call: "It was emotional. It was a little journey for us. It was tough. They're much bigger than we were and they know how to use [the size]." Bryant's first postgame move, predictably, was to head straight to Spain's bench, right behind Krzyzewski, to console Gasol. Kobe's dear Lakers teammate was visibly crushed, falling short of a historic upset even after living up to every ounce of his pre-tournament "I'm a beast" proclamation with 24 points, eight boards and seven assists. But Gasol's beastly best was always a long shot to offset the Americans' crazy depth, no matter how well Spain executed and protected the ball. Losing Ricky Rubio or a four-foul first half for Marc Gasol is a killer for Spain. Team USA, by contrast, can withstand the absence of Dwight Howard and Blake Griffin, Dwayne Wade and Derrick Rose, just by asking Carmelo Anthony and LeBron to steal minutes at center and winning with, as Scariolo said, "basically five players on the perimeter." Not that James, captain of the small-ballers, saw any other option. "I'm not allowed to lose," LeBron said, repeating the claim he's made all summer about his first title in Miami taking zero pressure off him. The decision on what to do with championship ring No. 1 doesn't have to be made for a few months yet, since James won't even collect it until the end of October. Yet he hasn't forgotten those four long summers that preceded this one, when he only had that gold medal from Beijing to supply visual validation. "It's up in my office in a case," LeBron told ESPN.com the other day. "So I see it a lot." Regular-season MVP for the third time. 2012 NBA Finals MVP in conjunction with his long-awaited title breakthrough. And now another gold for the collection. That office, even moreso than Paul's, is starting to get a little cluttered.
It's tough for me to say it [from these] lips, but I love that guy. I love him." -- Former Wake Forest guard Chris Paul on Mike Krzyzewski
