My story is somewhat...ordinary, but I'll leave it anyway.
I first started gaming when I was a kid upon learning of the Star Trek: The Next Generation CCG. In 2010, I found board gaming. I met a buddy through board gaming who was really into fantasy, role playing, and cool models. He's the kind of guy who finds something new and will soak up all the information he can find about it immediately. He discovered mini painting and immediately became excellent at it (painting about 500 minis in his first year or so). We started a Pathfinder group and began hanging out more regularly. He convinced me to join the hobby. After a few months, he mentioned Reaper in passing and said he was going to a convention called ReaperCon. He was on fire when he returned and convinced me to get into Warlord. We took a trip up to the store to buy our armies and were given a factory tour, too. Now I find myself on the forums, having attended my first ReaperCon, and not looking back!

- 1Feb 8, '12 by unsaint77you are the cream of the crop. I wish I had the half of your experience. I am a rookie but I am pretty good at resume. Change how you worded your objective. It sounds more like what the job can do for YOU. it has to sound like what you can do for the employer.
- 0Feb 9, '12 by unsaint77it still comes across to me as being more focused on your benefit. it must be the words "further" and "my" used together. if it was me, i would only say "to acquire a lasting neonatal icu r.n. position."
it would make only a tiny difference but that tiny might be what makes or breaks.
chamber of commerce or unemployment offices have people who would critique resumes for free.

Dish and DirecTV to raise rates in February, Comcast adds new "Broadcast TV" surcharge
Posted By Andy Vuong On January 3, 2014 @ 1:42 pm In Comcast,directv,Dish Network,Technology | 9 Comments
Update 2:55 p.m. Jan. 3, 2014 | Added information about Comcast [1]'s new surcharge.
Citing higher programming costs, satellite-TV giants Dish Network [2] and DirecTV [3] said this week that they are raising rates in February.
The pay-TV industry traditionally hikes fees toward the beginning of the year, although Comcast implemented its latest rate increase for Colorado subscribers in October.
The cable giant also is adding a new $1.50 surcharge this month – a so-called Broadcast TV Fee – to "defray the rising costs of retransmitting television signals."
DirecTV said it will raise rates by 3.7 percent starting Feb. 6, noting that the jump is lower than the 8 percent increase in fees the company is paying to programmers.
"Each year, television networks continue to increase the programming fees they charge DirecTV for the right to broadcast their movies, shows and sporting events," DirecTV spokesman Robert Mercer said in an email. "As a result, DirecTV must adjust the price of our programming packages so we can continue to deliver these channels."
DirecTV is the nation's largest satellite-TV company with 20 million subscribers.
Satellite-TV rival Dish, based in Douglas County, said its rates will increase by $3 to $5 a month on everyday programming packages starting Feb. 1.
Dish spokesman John Hall said in a statement that the entire pay-TV industry is experiencing "significant increases in programming costs, well above the rate of inflation."
"Dish is bearing the burden of these programmer rate increases with our customers, holding price increases below those of our primary competitors over the past two years," Hall said.
Comcast, Colorado's largest cable-TV provider, took the unusual step of raising rates twice in one calendar year in 2013. The company boosted fees on programming packages by an average of 3.3 percent in January [4]. It followed that up with a 2.5 percent hike in October.
"While we continue making investments in our network and next-generation technology to make enhancements customers want and value … we periodically need to adjust prices due to increases we incur in programming, business costs and technology enhancements," Comcast spokeswoman Cindy Parsons said Friday.
Customers who are on promotional pricing packages will continue to pay the same rates through the end of their promotional periods.
Despite the threat of cord cutting [5] – where subscribers drop service in favor of Internet-based content – pay-TV rate hikes [6] will probably continue as retransmission deals become more complex and costly.
In November, SNL Kagan revised its projections on programming fees, calling for retransmission revenue to reach $7.15 billion by 2018. That's up from a previous forecast of $6.05 billion. Retransmission revenue was projected to hit $3.3 billion in 2013.
"The projections for growth are based on rising per-month sub fees for TV station owners in recent negotiations, as well as the consolidation of the business over the last couple years, which has often led to higher retrans rates after acquired stations are brought under larger groups' umbrellas," SNL Kagan said in its report. "The negotiation of digital rights has added complexity to retrans negotiations."
At the same time, SNL Kagan dropped its pay-TV subscriber estimate for 2018 to 100.6 million, down from a previous projection of 103.7 million.

In what has become commonplace the past month, the Great Bend High School Panthers have had a penchant for grinding out time-consuming drives with a stout running game.
And don't forget the pass play, either.
Great Bend (4-3) is making final preparations for Friday night's Class 5A District 6 make-or-break football clash with Salina South (3-5) at Salina Stadium. Kickoff is set for 7.
And, the Panthers' drive-minded offense has been a headache for opposing defenses, as well as a key reason why they are one victory from qualifying for the state playoffs.
The district points system is ...

"These were great! Made exactly as recipe states except I used gluten free flour in place of the regular flour. My family ate them almost immediately. Will be making these again tonight. :) Thank you for the great recipe!"
"Great recipe! I made a few changes. I doubled the recipe and instead of potatoes added wild rice. I simmered it for another 1 1/2 hours added a couple more cups of chicken stock and then then 1/2 & 1/2. Salt and pepper to taste. My family loved it. Will definately make again."
"Great and easy recipe! I made a few changes. I added twice the amount of mushrooms, onions, and spices (nutmeg, thyme, sage, garlic and onion salt). I also used gluten free flour. It turned out great and I will definately make this recipe again."
"This recipe is wonderful. I have a gluten allergy and it worked great to thicken the soup with corn tortillas instead of having to use flour like in most recipes. My Husband and Son also loved it. I followed the recipe exactly. Will definately make again."
"Loved it! I made a couple of changes. I added ham steak instead of polish sausage. I also used a gluten-free roux because I am allergic to wheat. It turned out great!! Definately will make this again. Very easy and very healthy.Thanks!"

Hey, Wal-Mart: These Are American Workers' Songs
PORTLAND, Ore. (TheStreet) -- Well, Wal-Mart (WMT), it's not my fault that you used a Canadian band to boast about your plan to create "American" jobs, but you've made this my problem. Now it's yours.
A couple of days ago, I made the grave error of calling attention to my colleague Rocco Pendola's excellent piece Dear Wal-Mart: Rush Is Canadian. He pointed out the folly of the mega-retailer using Rush's song Working Man as a "warm and fuzzy Winter Olympics television advertisement" to "promote the merits of American workers."
Despite the fact that I didn't type so much as a comma in the article or make any argument about Wal-Mart's cross-border music outsourcing program myself, I received a little tap on the shoulder in the form of a tweet from Wal-Mart corporate itself. You know it's a big deal when the voice of the retail gods talks to you from the flagship Twitter handle and not through some sternly worded e-mail sent from a randomly selected member of its public relations or marketing staff.
This unsolicited critique naturally led me to a few questions:
@Notteham Working Man is a classic & we felt it best fit our jobs effort. We also support many U.S. bands in our ads. -Moni Walmart (@Walmart)
February 19, 2014
@Walmart Just not the ads you target toward actual U.S. workers, eh? Jason Notte (@Notteham)
February 19, 2014
@Walmart How long did your ad partners spend sifting through their music catalog? Can that time be counted in hours or minutes? Jason Notte (@Notteham)
February 19, 2014
@Walmart Do you need help finding songs written by U.S. artists about working people? Are you that unfamiliar with both music and that theme Jason Notte (@Notteham)
February 19, 2014
That last one seemed particularly pertinent, given Wal-Mart's recent disagreements with employees. The discount chain has endured strikes on Black Friday, the National Labor Relations Board's decision that it illegally fired and reprimanded 70 workers who went on strike last summer, a federal court decision in Los Angeles demanding that Wal-Mart face trial for alleged rights violations at a California warehouse and, most recently, Wolfe Research's recent downgrade of Wal-Mart to underperform because of understaffing, erosion of its price advantage and increasing pressure from labor groups.

The world needs awake, alive, engaged people whose work to mend the world is grounded in and inspired by love. The world needs people who somehow keep their hearts open and pliable while they look unflinchingly at our broken systems and work to change them.
Sounds nice, I know. Actually doing it for any length of time, though, is damn hard.
Feel like you're doing it wrong? Or maybe you're just ready to make this Hanukkah even better? Let us help. Check out ZEEK's guide to Hanukkah. We've got ideas to light up the next eight nights — whatever kind of Jew-ish you are, from A(ctions) to Z(EEK).
This Chanukah, ZEEK will run an intergenerational series celebrating resistance and the future of the Jewish left in the United States.
Send original pitches, personal essays, reported articles, chatty opinion pieces, feature stories, and creative nonfiction to firstname.lastname@example.com, with "RESISTANCE" in the subject line. Deadline for pitches is November 26.
As I chanted along with the leaders, "We young, we strong, we marching all night long," I remembered that remembering is holy, but only if the remembering leads us to a better reality….. And in that moment I knew that the fight will take a long time, but that it is built on love, and that is why it will win.
It's an unusually cool late July night in Philadelphia. I've just returned home from a planning meeting with a group of Jews organizing to join the upcoming People's Climate March, taking place September 21 in New York City. The march is expected to be historic, and coincides with the latest UN Climate Summit. Though I'm not much of an organizer, and tend to get impatient at committee meetings, I left that meeting feeling something I haven't felt in a long time when it comes to climate change: hope.
Get behind the headlines with comics Heather Gold and Katie Halper. This week, the comic duo talk about women's bodies and take a fresh look at that super-loaded '80s-girl stereotype: The Jewish American Princess, but also their male counterparts.
My husband and I are thinking about buying a property in Chicago, but we are in a bit of a quandary. Knowing that we will be gentrifying, we would like to "offset our footprint" if you will, like one might offset one's carbon footprint by planting a tree or carpooling. Are there ways to "offset our footprint"?
The Morning Jew Duo Mouths Off About the Bite Felt Round the World & More
Katie Halper and Heather Gold tackle the headlines in this World Cup special edition: Suarez's big mouth, a Dutch soccer team with a Hava Nagila ringtone, and even a Theresienstadt tie-in – no joke. But very funny.
I'm deeply invested in the transformative possibilities of Jewish-Muslim engagement. But until those of us with privilege recognize the inequity and take steps to fix it, the disparity in our circumstances can get in the way of conversation.
Over the past decade, community organizing has become a buzz phrase in American culture –- embraced by the right and the left. As a grassroots organizer-turned-rabbi, I have dedicated much of the past eight years to trying to figure out the relationship between organizing and community building — and how the two might best support each other. Right now, congregations and community organizing groups have a lot to learn from each other.
ZEEK PRESENTS Shavuot & Social Change with Zeek editor Erica Brody, writer-activist Sarah Seltzer, and Marjorie Dove Kent of Jews for Racial and Economic Justice.
How can Shavuot help us think more creatively and deeply about what it means to be a Jewish change-maker in New York? Zeek editor Erica Brody, writer-activist Sarah Seltzer, and activist and Marjorie Dove Kent of Jews for Racial and Economic Justice team up to lead this highly interactive conversation/workshop. This is our first public event since we relaunched!
I used to work in a church basement with community activists. We wore worn T-shirts, worked until 10 pm, and wore our spunkiness with pride. No one, at that time, was a parent. Then I joined a big healthcare labor union, where many members, staff and leaders were parents. We'd often have conference calls at 9 pm or later to accommodate bedtime. At organizing meetings, kids ran around as their parents were figuring out the best strategic ways to win their union.
I am a senior staff member at a progressive Jewish nonprofit with many young(er) staff people. I am a mentor for a few women who are early in their careers. In my organization, there are many women, but men still occupy most of the top positions. I sometimes find myself encouraging cutthroat attitudes that I don't really believe in because I know it is part of what these young women will need to advance. Is this ethical? —Mentoring Against My Values
Inequality between men and women in the Jewish communal world is a hot issue, especially around pay and leadership, two issues I'm sure you discuss with your mentees. READ MORE
I remember clearly the day that my then-boyfriend now-husband and I implemented our "no conference calls on road trips" rule. We're often on the road between our home in DC and New York or to my mother-in-law's home on the Delaware coast. While this might seem like an obvious rule to some in order to maximize quality time together, our concerns were much more mundane. If we were both on the phone at the same time, we couldn't hear. And we couldn't agree on whose call was more important, so we decided no one could be on the phone.
This Purim, I'm reminded of the power of coming out and speaking out, despite the consequences. In the story of Purim, the Jewish people are redeemed only after Esther finds the courage to stand up for herself and her community.
"I was horrified at what I assumed at that time was a very unusual situation. I thought it was an aberration. Only later did I realize how typical his case was. But so many aspects of what made his case problematic are emblematic of our death penalty system and our criminal justice system." –Jen Marlowe on writing "I Am Troy Davis"
I was the victim of hate speech. I will never forget the day. It was nothing if not shocking. I am openly gay, a Jewish man — a rabbi — who wears a yarmulke in public. Amidst a crowd of people, from all walks of life, I was told to leave.
A t this point I probably should say that the establishment where this hate speech took place was a gay bar. And the man who insisted I leave was gay. And also Jewish.
Earlier this month, a few brave Jews made a trek to the middle of Brooklyn. I know what you're thinking, what's so brave about Jews in Brooklyn? They were brave not only to venture outside during an ice storm, but also because they knew they would be spending the evening talking about privilege and race in the Jewish community at the Jewish Multiracial Network (JMN) Parlor Meeting. The question: Am I racist?
Dear Leftist Ethicist, I have a distant family member who has turned from a C-list to an A-list celebrity because of a role on a popular TV show. We hardly know each other. I am a passionate employee of a grassroots organization and would like to ask him to support us. He is apolitical as far as I know, but probably leans conservative. What is the best way to approach him without being creepy? Or is it even worth reaching out since we're pretty removed?
Two Zeek board members – one longtime, one new – talk from the heart about the Jewish tomorrow and Zeek.
I care about Zeek because Zeek is thoughtful, literate, literary. For years, Zeek has been the place to go for meaningful long-form writing which questions assumptions and pushes boundaries. Zeek does work that no one else is doing, and sheds light on conversations that no one else is having – whether that be our 2003 essay on Zionism and Colonialism, or our 2004 essay on Hasidism and homoeroticism, or our 2009 interview with Rabbi Dr. Rachel Adler.
The recent Pew study confirms that one in five Jews today says they are part of "no" religion – which makes us just like the rest of the country, where "nones" (those who check "none of the above" on survey boxes) are on the rise. My question is: how can we open up the richness of Judaism – or the many varieties of Judaism; Judaisms, plural) to those who have opted out of the communal or congregational mainstream as they've understood it?
Zeek is a place where that can happen. There's no barrier to entry here. We're interested in dialogue and discourse and in creating the Jewish tomorrow which we, ourselves, most need. Zeek is honest, authentic, questioning – qualities which I think a lot of unaffiliated Jews want and need, but may not be finding elsewhere.
Small magazines that publish good thought leaders have played a vital role in shaping opinion, in sharpening the skills of the thought leaders, and in forging all sorts of innovative and oppositional movements – in American society, in Jewish life, and, of course, elsewhere.
At a time when organized Jewry has largely succumbed to the influence and interests of the most affluent (people in the financial industry, real estate moguls, and others), Zeek can play a valuable role in vitalizing and sustaining the historic Jewish voice for economic justice. It can advance the discourse by not only bringing a Jewish sensibility to bear upon these societal issues, but by bringing a sharply critical perspective to bear upon organized Jewry and its tendency to comfort the comfortable, and afflict the afflicted.
Zeek is laying the groundwork for a strong, sustainable 2014. We need your help. Please consider making a much-appreciated, tax-deductible donation to Zeek today. Support from readers, allies and partners keeps Zeek online and independent!
Readers, tell us what you think. What are your questions about the Jewish tomorrow? Why do you care about Zeek? What would you like to see in 2014? Tell us!
ZEEK is presented by The Jewish Daily Forward | Maintained by SimonAbramson.com

Genotyping ServiceLong story short, I love messing around with genes, and I wanted to spread the love. C: (Short story slightly longer, I can pretty much do horse colour genes in my sleep (quite literally; that is an embarrassing story for another day) and taught myself dog colour genes the other day, so this is sort of a combination of celebration and practice in the case of the dogs, and a bit of relaxation for me. xD Cats are next on the list to learn, but I want to have dogs more ingrained first before I go there.)
So anybody who wants their horse or dog's genotype, roll up! :3
If anyone wants to check what I'm using, the (natural) genes I use are listed fairly concisely here.
How it works
Send me your animal's information (a link to your animal's ref is good) and any notes you want to tell me on it - either comment here or note me with the subject "Genotyping Service". All the better if you have the phenotype (physical expression of

Monthly Theme - August -Hello all! A while ago I had a poll up asking some questions and getting some amazing feedback on things we could do as a group and Monthly Themes was one of the suggestions! I thought it was a great suggestion and so we're going to go ahead and give it a shot this year to see how it goes. If you have questions, please ask!
I'm going to try and use this same journal for all 12 months of the year, but if it starts getting too messy or long I may split it up. The current month will always be at the top of the list. So if we're in April, it will read April, THEN January and Feburary etc etc. When the month is complete, it will be moved to its proper place in the year and the current month will take its place.
A folder has been created specifically for monthly theme submissions!
These will apply to EVERY month.
Your image absolutely must show the theme in a way that is obvious and doesn't confuse the living daylights out of your admin team! If we

Recruiters usually don't cover in-house legal jobs at all. You may not realize this until you look specifically for an in-house legal position. Normally, recruiters focus on jobs in various law firms; very rarely do they list or even look at openings for in-house legal positions. On the other hand, those recruiters who do focus on this type of job are on the payroll of the company/ corporation. Hence, unless you fit the criteria laid down by their employers, you would not be considered for the in-house job.
So, how does one look for and land an in-house legal job?
Here are a few tips that will work very well if this is your career's aim. Be prepared to look longer and harder; but eventually, with the right approach and method of search, you will be able to land the legal job of your dreams.
- Network Continuously - This will not always point you to an available in-house position, but networking will definitely bring you closer to your goal. Since these jobs are very narrowly defined to suit each company's requirements, it is more likely to be filled through recommendations from network. This is especially true when you are looking for a high level position - and not entry level. For high level positions companies have unique requirements tailored to the type of industry and its legal implications/needs.
- Enlist with Multiple Recruiters - Unlike run-of-the mill legal positions, companies looking for candidates for in-house jobs would use different recruiting firms. You will find that even the largest legal recruiters would have a very tiny percentage of listing on in-house jobs. Hence, to maximize your chances to land an in-house job, enlist with multiple recruiting firms.
- Highlight in Your Resume the Right Attributes for the In-house Position - Companies who are hiring for in-house legal jobs require that the candidate has slightly different skills than the lawyers in a law firm. They look for the following skills and attributes:
a. Ability to work in a team
b. Political astuteness
c. Ability to act proactively
d. Ability to read correctly and respond to business needs
e. Passion for profession
f. Ability to decide quickly based on inaccurate/ imperfect information
g. Ability to add value to the company (instead of being just an expense head)
Your resume should focus and highlight your talent and abilities in this particular light in order to be shortlisted by recruiting firms for any in-house job.

Heaps of fruit lay scattered in many orchards in Krishna district
Farmers have expected a 'windfall' and consumers are eagerly waiting for the 'king of fruit' to enter the market.
But, Saturday's rain and gale dashed the hopes of one and all. Farmers, however, were the worst-hit.
The early morning activity in the mango orchards in the Central and Western Krishna district on Sunday reflected the extent of damage nature had caused to the farmers. In one orchard after the other, farmers were seen collecting the fruit that dropped under the impact of the sudden rain and gale.
"Our dreams have been shattered," said the farmers. Heaps of damaged fruit were lying scattered under the trees in the orchards at Mylavaram, A. Konduru, Gampalagudem, Tiruvuru, Vissannapeta, and other mandals in the district.
In many orchards, workers piled up the damaged fruit that included varieties such as 'banginapally', 'chinna rasalu', 'pedda rasalu', and 'totapuri', and shifted the stock to the local markets.
In some orchards, many trees were uprooted causing heavy loss to the farmers.
"I invested Rs.50,000 on pesticide, wages, and other purposes. We have expected a bumper yield. But nature has left only tears for us," said a farmer G. Madhava Rao.
Another farmer V. Ramanaiah said the damaged fruit would fetch very low price in the market.
Ten workers were needed to collect the damaged fruit from five acres of orchards. They had to be paid Rs.150 to Rs.200 per head per day.
Proceeds from the sale of damaged fruit would not be sufficient to meet labour and transport charges, he said.
"We planned to pluck the fruit in the first week of May, as they will be ripe by then. Fruit that naturally ripe on trees will be sweet and are good for health. People prefer to consume such fruits, as they are free of chemicals. The heavy gale damaged the ripe fruit causing severe loss," said Mr. Ramanaiah.
Farmers dumped the damaged fruit on the roadside at Velvadam, Pata Naguluru, Keertirayanigudem, and other villages.
Horticulture officials are estimating the crop loss in the district.

Emerging markets have grown at a remarkable pace through most of the 2000s. They even rebounded strongly from the Great Recession, notwithstanding the sluggishness in advanced economies. Easy global financial conditions, rising commodity prices and beneficial terms of trade potentially compensated for weak external demand from the advanced economies.
But now, emerging market growth, while still strong, has begun to slow. This oddly coincides with an outlook for advanced economies that is improving, even if gradually. So what's behind this dichotomy?
Emerging markets are adjusting to changes in the external environment. On the one hand, the incipient recovery in advanced economies is helping emerging markets, including through higher exports. On the other hand, the favourable external financing conditions are now beginning to reverse, implying a tougher financial environment for emerging markets. Then you have domestic factors, which appear to have pulled down growth in some emerging markets (see also IMF blog post on January 22, 2014, and December 18, 2013).

Prosecutors brought charges Tuesday in what they call a massive fraud case involving hundreds of former city workers, including police officers and firefighters, charged with scamming the system to rake in hundreds of thousands of dollars in government funds they weren't entitled to. NY1's Dean Meminger filed the following report.
They claimed that depression and other mental illnesses left them totally unable to work. Many blamed the September 11th attacks, most of them former New York City police officers. But investigators say more than 100 retired city employees simply lied in order steal millions of dollars in disability funds.
New Police Commissioner Bill Bratton said that the alleged fraudsters disgust him.
"Particularly the 72 former members of the New York City Police Department who have certainly disgraced themselves and embarrassed their families with their abuse of this system," Bratton said.
Firefighters and correction officers are also charged. Many were already getting physical disability benefits from the city, but prosecutors say they got extra money from social security by faking anxiety and a fear of being in public, though pictures seem to tell a different story.
Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. said that four ringleaders recruited the retirees and got up to $50,000 in kickbacks from each of them.
"Specifically, they instructed them on how to intentionally fail memory tests, how to dress when they presented themselves, and how to present their demeanor," Vance said.
Vance said that most of the applications appeared to to be in the same handwriting and described the same symptoms.
The Social Security Administration was also alarmed that so many former police officers said that they were now mentally incapable of owning guns, but Charles Campisi, the head of the NYPD's internal affairs bureau, said that they did have their guns.
"When we dug deep and we checked the forms that they had filed with the police department in order to get pistol permits, they indicated that they were of sound mind and were able legally to possess this permits," Campisi said. "So we had a discrepancy in the two official forms."
Brian Griffin, the attorney for one of the alleged ringleaders, retired officer Joseph Esposito, told NY1 that his client will fight the charges.
"He came to court today, and he said two words that are very important: not guilty," Griffin said.
Police and prosecutors say that this is only the beginning of the investigation, and that hundreds of others could be arrested for stealing up to $400 million from the government.

Came across this this morning while out on otter watch... rushed back to the houe to grab the camera.
I have never seen ice form in this way, like concentric circles. What you can't really make out in this image is that 2 other areas (one to the right & one infront of the inner dam) seem to be forming something similar.... strange.
Got lucky with the light, 1st images were all grey and miserable then the sun shone for me.
No sign of the otters today..... so far!.

Lovely shot this Phil! The circular shapes of the ice make a great focal point for this vibrant winter image. Nicely difused reflections on the ice which don't detract from the circles. Must have been very cold here for that pattern to occur - water rising from the hole in the centre freezing off again and again.
A grand shot.

Jules Bianchi, Driver #22: "I am very much looking forward to my first experience of racing here at Suzuka. It is a track that is associated with some of the greatest moments in Formula 1 history and racing here will be one of the highlights of my debut season, regardless of the outcome. It is also a real test of car and driver with some fantastic corners, which I have only ever been able to sample on the simulator until now. I think that rain is possible early in the weekend, which should make life interesting – much like some of the big moments I saw here when I was growing up – but I think it may be dry later on, which will enable us to keep pushing for our season objective. I love Japan and have spent the past few days training and relaxing in Tokyo, which has been good fun. I can't wait to be driving in front of the incredible fans here on Sunday." Max Chilton, Driver #23: "It's great to be back in Japan and to finally get the opportunity to race at the Suzuka Circuit. I came straight here from Korea so I would have the opportunity to explore a little more because there are so many fantastic things to experience here. This will be another new challenge and one that I have been looking forward to because it is such a technical circuit and because of all the history attached to it. I have been inspired by some of the great battles I have watched here over the years. The fans are also pretty special, both in and out of the circuit. Seeing them camped outside the drivers' hotel is quite something, never mind the reception we get when we're out on track. I hope we can race to a strong two-car finish again – and hopefully with less attrition up ahead." John Booth, Team Principal, Marussia F1 Team: "This weekend represents another interesting challenge for our drivers in that neither Jules nor Max has driven at Suzuka previously. Technically it is one of the more challenging and interesting circuits, so they'll start the weekend with maximum track time to help bring them up to speed. It has been raining heavily at the circuit today but our forecast suggests this won't be the case come Saturday and Sunday, so I hope we can enjoy conditions more conducive to achieving our objectives this weekend."

Here are some odds and ends that may have escaped you in the 2014 news cycle, as collected by our very own Larry Gross.
A student group has revoked an invitation for me to speak at a university because of my views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Its action is part of the routine censorship carried out on campuses against those who will not read from the Israel lobby's script.
Russell Brand isn't really someone to take things lying down.
The recent television kerfuffle involving "Real Time" host Bill Maher and guest Sam Harris over whether Muslims are bad people because their religion is, in the words of Harris, "the mother lode of bad ideas," is symbolic of the new American Islamophobia.
Bravo to Ben Affleck and Nicholas Kristof for telling Bill Maher off about his chronic case of Muslim-hating bigotry.
The government campaign to imprison the few activist attorneys who defend those defined as America's enemies is exemplified by the persecution of Stanley L. Cohen.
Just days after religious scholar Reza Aslan criticized him on CNN for his views on Islam, comedian Bill Maher decided to defend them, this time with actor Ben Affleck.
Waging endless war in the Middle East means not only turning old enemies into allies but exposing our inability to free ourselves from the mechanisms of violence and collapse.
A look at the day's political happenings, including the real percentage of Americans who receive financial help from the federal government and the Massachusetts Senate race between Republican Scott Brown and Democrat Elizabeth Warren gets nasty.
Comedian Bill Maher puts himself in the company of "9/11 liberals" who believe that Islam as a religion is different and decidedly worse than all other religions. He said Friday that "at least half of all Muslims believe it is all right to kill someone who insults the Prophet."
A look at the day's political happenings, including Reid challenging Romney's tax records and two Republican congressional candidates competing to see which one is more intolerant.
The American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research has long had its finger on the pulse of mainstream issues that have united the GOP. But recently it firmly planted its feet on the other side of the line that divides the sensible Republican Party from fringe extremists. Above, blogger and Islam critic Robert Spencer.
The Texan's candidacy is showing that the conventional definition of intolerable bigotry is disturbingly narrow—and embarrassingly selective.

Hip-hop impresario and yogaphile Russell Simmons is publicly shaming Lowe's with some help from his amassed fortune after the home-improvement megastore pulled its ads from the "All-American Muslim" reality show.
On Tuesday, in a column that can be read here, Truthdig columnist Chris Hedges criticized Sam Harris (above) as being a fundamentalist. We offered Harris, who was once a prominent contributor to this site, a chance to respond, and he has done so.
The monster who slaughtered at least 76 innocent victims in Norway was animated by the same blend of paranoia, xenophobia and alienation that fuels anti-Muslim sentiment in the United States. Yes, it could happen here.

Europe's right-wing parties, many of which once had explicitly anti-Jewish messages, have expanded their hatred to Arabs and Muslims.
Flickr / liquidnight (CC-BY-SA)
To listen to the bloviators, "religious extremist" means Muslim, and too many Americans buy in without understanding that this "God is (only) on our side" nonsense infects elements in pretty much every belief system.

Depending on how you see it, a Dutch court's acquittal Thursday of controversial politician Geert Wilders is an instance of hate speech gone unpunished or, as Wilders himself put it, "a victory for freedom of expression in the Netherlands."
Right about where NPR's Juan Williams says, in this clip from Monday's "The O'Reilly Factor," that he thinks Bill O'Reilly is "right," offering the Fox News host his support after last week's O'Reilly kerfuffle on "The View," things take a fateful turn for Williams' career. Coincidence?
Is Islam finding its way into our schools? Christmas carols? How about our soup? Stephen Colbert is on that case, just like everyone on Fox News, in this clip from Monday's episode of "The Colbert Report."
New York Post scribe Andrea Peyser is very concerned about a series that'll be counted among the new cartoon network The Hub's lineup: It's "The 99," an animated show about 99 superheroes with special powers based on—gasp!—Muslim values.
Boy, one thing I really hate is when American judges try to impose harsh Islamic sharia law. You know, with all those grisly lashings, stonings and beheadings. What's that you say? No such thing is happening, and you wonder where I got such a crazy idea? Why, Newt Gingrich told me.
With Islamophobia sweeping the states in all its stupidity and ignorance, it's refreshing to hear this assembly of thinkers, including Truthdig columnist Chris Hedges, bring some intellect to bear on the subject.
The evil side of America is on display in the form of a media-fueled Islamophobia that recalls some of the worst bigotry in the nation's past. This is not what we hoped for in the days after Sept. 11, 2001, or the election of President Barack Obama in 2008.
By Mike Luckovich —
The New York Times' conservative stalwart William Kristol should receive some kind of award for being wrong with such baffling consistency while still retaining his job. Not only has he been credited (if that's the right word) with steering John McCain toward picking Sarah Palin and waving his proverbial pompoms for the Iraq invasion, but he has just let fly with another doozy in his latest column.

Pica8 Joins Cyan Blue Orbit SDN Ecosystem
Cyan (NYSE:CYNI), a leading provider of software-defined networking (SDN) and packet-optical solutions for network operators, today announced that Pica8, Inc. has joined Blue Orbit, an ecosystem of partners focused on proving real-world, multi-vendor, software-defined network (SDN) and network functions virtualization (NFV) applications.
"Our customers want proof that they can leverage SDN to perform real-world functions such as moving virtual machines (VMs) between data centers driving the ability to leverage both public and private cloud environments," said Steve Garrison, vice president of marketing at Pica8. "The Blue Orbit ecosystem enables us to validate interoperability and demonstrate end-to-end solutions that are production ready."
Since 2009, Pica8 has been transforming the data center by providing the world's first open switching system, which can be personalized to fit any application environment. Pica8 loads PicOS™, its externally programmable switching operating system, which runs on commodity bare-metal switches to provide ultimate cost savings and customization for the data center.
"The addition of Pica8 to the Blue Orbit Ecosystem demonstrates the supplier community's desire to come together and push interoperability testing and real deployments forward," said Joe Cumello, chief marketing officer at Cyan. "As Blue Orbit continues to grow, we are gaining invaluable insight into how we can help network operators such as carriers, data center operators and cloud companies slash OpEx, launch new services, and deliver a better customer experience."In June 2013, Blue Orbit was formed to demonstrate interoperability among SDN and NFV solutions from an array of partners to lessen the risk network operators would otherwise face and accelerate the deployment of production SDN and NFV use cases. Blue Orbit partners provide applicable solution elements to Cyan's California-based Blue Orbit Lab. From this facility, Cyan, Blue Orbit partners, and customers are able to test and demonstrate the deployability of SDN solutions. About Cyan Cyan enables network transformation. The company's software-defined network (SDN) solutions deliver orchestration, visualization, and scale to networks that, until now, have been static and hardware driven. Serving carriers, enterprises, governments, and data center operators globally, Cyan's open platforms provide multi-vendor control and visibility to network operators, making service delivery more efficient and profitable. Cyan solutions include Blue Planet SDN software, Z-Series packet-optical transport platforms, and Cyan Pro professional services.

Powerball winner pays child support
|Pedro Quezada the New Jersey man who just won a $338 million Powerball jackpot, listens to an interpreter during his appearance in state Superior Court in Paterson, N.J., on Monday. Authorities had said the 44-year-old Passaic resident owed about $29,000 in back support for three of his five children. During the court hearing, officials said Quezada had paid $30,000 to settle the debt. He also told the judge in Spanish that the three children would now be living with him. (AP Photo/Mel Evans)
PATERSON, N.J. — A former bodega owner who will be pocketing $152 million in lottery winnings has coughed up $30,000 in back child support with a promise from his lawyer he will "do what's right for his children."

NASCAR Helps Drive Americans to Support Military Families
When First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden launched their initiative, Joining Forces, to support our nation's military families, American citizens, communities, and businesses answered the call. Recently, Walmart and NASCAR came together to create a public service announcement campaign to recognize the sacrifices and challenges that military families face across the United States.
These PSAs, featuring some of NASCAR's best known drivers, will be shown in hundreds of Walmart locations around the country. Check out the video with NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon and First Lady Michelle Obama:
This is just one of the many ways Walmart and NASCAR are giving back to our service men and women and their families. Walmart's "Military Family Promise" guarantees a job at a nearby store or club for all military personnel if they have been transferred by the United States Military. In August of this year, NASCAR will continue host its 7th Annual Tribute to the Soldiers at Walter Reed Army Medical Center.
Find ways you can to get involved to support our troops and their families.

What Signal Does The Google-Motorola Marriage Send To Product Strategists?
Posted by Carlton Doty on August 18, 2011
It's a couple of days after Google announced its intentions to jump headfirst into the hardware business. By now everyone — including my colleagues Charles Golvin and John McCarthy — have expressed their thoughts about what this means for Apple, Microsoft, RIM, and all of the Android-based smartphone manufacturers. This is not another one of those blog posts.
What I really want to highlight is something more profound, and more relevant to all of you out there who might classify your day job as "product strategy." To you, the Google/Moto deal is just one signal — however faint — coming through the static noise of today's M&As, IPOs, and new product launches. But if you tune in and listen carefully, two things become crystal clear:
- The lines between entire industries are blurring. Google — and some of the other firms I mentioned above — are just high profile examples of companies that are diversifying their product portfolio, and the very industries in which they play. There are several instances of this over the past "digital decade." What's different now is the increased frequency of the occurrences.
- The pace of product innovation and consumer adoption is accelerating — quickly. Think about the new products that launched in just the past couple of years: the iPad (19.5 million sold within the first year), the Kinect (8 million sold in the first 2 months), the Kindle, the Nook, Square . . . I could go on ad nauseam. But it's not just about high-tech products. Have you had your Chobani yet today? Greek yogurt went from practically zero to $1.5B in the span of a year, knocking General Mills and Danone down a few notches.
So if you've read this far, thank you for indulging me as I traversed from Google to Greek yogurt. Now, here's the punch line: If you're a product strategist—in any industry—your job has changed forever. The typical process of incremental product innovation won't cut it anymore. You must fundamentally change the way you think about product innovation. It'll be a long and strange journey, but here's how to get started:
- Forget what you know about traditional competitors. If you think you have a rock-solid understanding of your biggest competitive threats — think again. You're probably wrong.
- Learn as much as you can about adjacent innovations. Look around the fringe of your organization and your industry. There are likely to be several pockets of adjacent innovations all around you. If you can't see them, you're not looking hard enough. In fact, the next big disruption in your industry will be the result of the unexpected convergence and application of those adjacencies.
- Learn how to control the chaos of idea overload. If you calibrate your R&D spend to stay within your traditional industry guardrails, you will fail to see the big adjacent opportunities that may be staring you in the face from the outside. To be clear, this doesn't mean spend more on product development. It means spend differently, in otherwise unexpected ways.
Whether you believe me or not, I strongly encourage you to read James McQuivey's blog and latest report called, "Innovating The Adjacent Possible." After reading it, think again about the Google/Moto deal. Is it really just about smartphones and patents? Sure, those are the obvious plays, but I think it's also a strong offensive move in the war for control of the digital home — an adjacent space for the Android OS . I guess that's a topic for another day.
Thanks for checking in!
Google/Motorola Among M&As
At the start of 2011 I expected lots of M&A activity. Was just waiting to see it play out. I have seen enough of these over the years to know a high payment for a company, even if a bit undervalued or overvalued--can strengthen a company's position going forward. Apple and Amazon are stronger than they have ever been. Will Microsoft come out of the shadows and surprise us? I'm waiting. IBM seems content to move forward without grabbing headlines. And what of HP--smart move--will the cultures mesh? And where do the PCs land? China, Korea, Viet Nam, Russia, FSUs, Brazil, Chile, Africa, Spain? Can obsolescence be characterized as a place? Is mobile the only place to be?
