E-Books and the Evolution of Publishing
September 8, 2014
Posted in Access Insights, Featured, reference, Technology
Not that long ago, getting published was the big hurdle for a writer to overcome. You could produce all you wanted, but unless you knew how to get somebody to read your random submission, or you were rich enough to self-publish, your writing lived in a drawer, waiting for you to give it to a friend who doesn't want to read it.
It's hard to believe how fast technology has opened publishing up to people. Now, anyone with an opinion has a platform, and while it's as tough as ever to make a living writing, the platform, in many cases, is totally free. So that changes the hurdle from publication to recognition. If everybody has a voice, how do you get heard?
This isn't just a question of red-hot opinions on social media. The explosion of e-book publishing has enabled writers of all kinds and all backgrounds, and without a character restriction. Whether it's through a blog, an e-book, or whatever, the gatekeeper has started to disappear, and to a writer who likes getting published, that prospect is thrilling.
But a new gatekeeper has replaced the old. The driving force of the explosion has been the Amazon Kindle. Since it was first issued in 2007, Kindle titles have taken an increasingly large share of the industry, and now make up nearly 20% of all book sales, not just e-books.
That's astonishingly fast, and the publishing industry has been dragged kicking and screaming behind. It's easy to see how it could be a painful transition for them. There's no physical copy to print and they're out of the distribution game, so publishers naturally make less per book sold than they had in the past. Amazon made deals advantageous to themselves, of course, but sales have continued to increase. The downside is that issues have arisen as a result of Amazon trying to strong-arm publishers who don't want to play ball.
By the same token, writers make less in royalties than they once did, as well. That's the sad part, I guess, but the positive side is that more people are writing and more ideas are floating around, which is a beautiful thing and vital to the advancement of culture. It also presents a brand new problem for the industry: information overload.
As long as there was traditional publishing, there was a structure in place to determine what writing was deemed "worthy" of printing. It kept dangerous or controversial views out of the public, sure, but it also filtered out the garbage. Academic publishing still has its review system in place to make sure a work is suitable to print, but the non-academic side now has little to no filter.
Let's face it; for all the good that open access to publication can do for society, it also means that one may have to wade through a lot of it to find high-quality, relevant material. So the question becomes how to access it so that every time you want to find something, you don't have to filter through a large amount of irrelevant and useless material. It's for this reason that data management has become so vital. Its use has resulted in revolutionary new ways to look at publishing.
The basic fact of having an individual platform is big enough. But there are larger, more groundbreaking efforts to take advantage of the opportunities the technology has afforded us. Norway, for instance, is in the process of digitizing all of its books, all of them, to make them available online to anyone with a Norwegian IP address; the Digital Public Library of America is a growing resource connecting libraries across the country; and the Public Library of Science has turned the paradigm of academic publishing on its ear.
The concept of the digital library isn't new. Project Gutenberg has been around since 1971. Little did we know back then what kind of value that might have. It's only becoming clear now that analytic software has become so advanced. For Amazon, books were a means to mine customer data for other products. Now, that kind of data mining is commonplace. It doesn't have to be about sales, though. In these library projects, that same level of data mining can be used for all sorts of purposes, from recommending new reading materials to a better understanding of a student's learning habits.
The potential in these projects is limitless, and it takes innovative thinkers to look for patterns and derive ways to utilize them. But the most important thing to me is that what I write, what anybody writes, can be published and accessed for all to see in one form or another if somebody is interested. After all, if I want to read about new methods in cancer treatment or some crazy person ranting about aliens, I should have that right, and so should everyone.

New Possibilities for New Fun
Scrabble fans, rejoice. Five thousand words have been added to "The Official Scrabble Players Dictionary," released on August 11 from Merriam-Webster. The Register-Guard brought this exciting news to us in their article, "Scrabble dictionary update delivers players 5,000 new words."
This comes after a decade of waiting for new additions. Entries in the book include texter, vlog, bromance, hashtag, dubstep, and selfie. However, the real gems come with the addition of te and three other two-letter words — da, gi and po. Just imagine the possibilities of paralleling words together with these additions.
To be included in the 36-year-old book in its fifth edition, a word must be found in a standard dictionary, can't require capitalization, can't have hyphens or apostrophes, and can't be an abbreviation, in addition to being two to eight letters. Spell on, my friends, spell on.

Has the Oxford Dictionary Word List Become a Hot Mess?
No one should be surprised, but yet we still are, at the slang and pop culture words that are making their way not only into our vocabulary, but now into the Oxford Dictionary. This interesting news came from the Oxford Dictionaries blog, OxfordWords, in their post, "Adorbs new words added to OxfordDictionaries.com – WDYT?"
Adorbs, humblebrag, and binge-watch are just a few of the new words going into OxfordDictionaries.com in this quarter. I suppose with the publication going online it is easier to add new words and therefore there is less of a filter or qualifying process. It is not my intention to set myself up as one of those antiquated people who resist change. I am actually very forward thinking and embrace new opportunities and challenges (cough cough), but that doesn't lessen my dismay to know that one of the new words – catfish – isn't the deep fried delicacy found in many southern restaurants. It saddens me both that it is in the publication and that I know its duplicitous definition.

New Words to Spell
Merriam-Webster has come out with its new list of approved words for 2014, and I am extremely excited. Not only are they new words I can add to my vocabulary, I can also potentially use them in Words with Friends or Scrabble. The interesting news came from State College in their article, "Adding New Words to Our Lexicon." So Words with Friends opponents, be on the watch for selfie and fracking in our games soon.
However, the author of this article offers up other contenders that didn't make the cut. I won't get to use words like obcampustacle, anticrastinate, or mautiship. Can you imagine the score on those?
I will have to urschel my spelling by using other new and exciting words.

Most Searched Words
I always find it interesting to learn about the behaviors of others. Airports, shopping malls, and sports venues always provide entertainment to me as I muse on the reasoning behind some wardrobe choices, quirky behavior, or companions. That might be why social media has always intrigued me, as it is like people watching from home. So when Dictionary.com compiled a list of words looked up the most around the country, I was fascinated. This interesting list was described by NBC Chicago in their article, "Study Reveals Most Looked-Up Words in Chicago."
It appears that folks in the good old Windy City were the most likely to look up the word "peatier", which by the way is defined as pertaining to, resembling or containing the substance peat.
Minneapolis residents were the main searchers of the word "fricassee," and New York searched "precipitin test."
Los Angeles residents were the most frequent searchers of the word "walking stick".

The End of an Era
The future of the more than 130-year old Oxford English Dictionary (OED) may be moving to cyberspace. The sheer number of English words put into use since the 20-volume, second edition was published in 1989 could make version 3.0 too big and too expensive to print. The next edition is expected to be at least twice the size of the last. Because of this, it may be published digitally only.
The decision hasn't been made yet, and Oxford University Press is quick to point out that the concise and compact versions of the Oxford English Dictionary, commonly on sale at bookstores, aren't in danger of going out of print. The decision whether to print the third edition of the complete OED – the multi-volume version more often used at libraries, at universities, and by scholars – is at least a decade away. This news came to us from CBS News in their article, "Stop the presses: Is the dictionary dead?"

The Environmental Protection Agency's proposed label on E15 dispensers will unnecessarily scare the public, writes Robert White, the Renewable Fuels Association's director of market development. The statement "This fuel might damage other vehicles" on the sticker connotes a negative image about E15 that is not supported by scientific data. In addition, adds White, the bright orange of the proposed label could induce the "same kind of alarm as road-construction orange."

Power-One Announces US Availability Of New AURORA UNO String Inverters
ORLANDO, Fla., Sept. 11, 2012 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- SOLAR POWER INTERNATIONAL 2012 – Power-One, Inc. (Nasdaq:PWER), a leading provider of renewable energy and energy-efficient power conversion and power management solutions, today announced the availability of the new residential class UNO-2.0-I and UNO-2.5-I string inverters in the US.
The new AURORA UNO inverters sport a brand new look and lightweight design with top CEC efficiency, reliability and industry leading MPPT performance. The new front panel graphical display on the UNO provides a wide assortment of performance metrics, such as the production data, grid connection status and PV string data.
The AURORA UNO inverters are available in two models, the 2kW UNO-2.0-I and the 2.5kW UNO-2.5-I. The UNO inverters are HF-isolated and available with an integrated DC disconnect switch to save installation time and cost. With 96 percent CEC efficiency and a NEMA4X rated enclosure, the UNO inverters are packed with the most advanced technology in Power-One's repertoire.
This inverter is the most light-weight product in its class and enables easy installation and handling. The T-mounting bracket provides added flexibility with options of mounting the inverter on a wall or a pole. Installation in jurisdictions which have unique grid management settings is simplified with the easy configuration settings available on the front panel graphical display. "The new UNO inverters, like Power-One's previous products, incorporate our industry leading MPPT algorithm that is both fast and accurate. The wide input voltage range means the UNO starts producing power earlier in the day, and continues to do so for a longer duration, thus maximizing energy harvest," said Paolo Casini, vice president of product marketing at Power-One. The innovative new enclosure design on the UNO enables fan-less thermal management by natural convection through an integrated rear heat sink. The front cover also employs a patented three-layer construction that shields the inverter from direct sunlight and also reduces the internal air temperature for cooler, more reliable operation.Check Out Our Best Services for Investors

New to Typophile? Accounts are free, and easy to set up.
Hello all! I'm a new member here, but have been impressed with the quality of the advice given here for some time now. I am sorry to barge in with a question, but hope you can forgive me and help me on my quest. Thanks!
Short version: I'm looking for a typeface that says "warm and cozy coffeehouse/pub"
Now, I have recently started working on a personal project (non-commercial) that can best be described a virtual coffeehouse or pub. An online hang-out, if you will. The place is called Oldenburg's, named after Ray Oldenburg, the professor behind the third place theory, stating that every person needs a neutral place other than home (first) and work (second) to socialize with his community.
I have decided to blog every step of the way and have now officially entered the stage of identity design. I'm really, really torn between a pub-like Copperplate or a—more personal—script for the logo typeface. In any case, it should be timeless, as if it could've been around for decades already.
My question to the hive mind: what kind of logo typeface would you associate with a warm, cozy, homely "third place"? My latest post has a moodboard that might inspire ideas. And I know it's subjective as hell ;)
Your opinion is very much appreciated!
Good mood board, I wish more people looking for advice would add one.
A Clarendon / Slab Serif comes to my mind. One with some nice little imperfections, like Volta, Egizio, Belizio etc (browse similar typefaces for more). I wouldn't go for a more wood-type-y, decorated font, nor for the obvious candidate these days, the condensed grot (Titling Gothic of the like).
@kupfers Thank you! I was actually considering a Clarendon-esque typeface. Not in the last place because it was adopted by Starbucks some years ago (and must still be associated with it in the minds of some). I really like the cheerful, upright ear on Belizio's lowercase g!
I also found Baskerville Bold a nice fit, in part because of its open, "smiling" e, but perhaps a bit too generic.
Farao is still quirkier (with a still more cheerful, upright /g/ ear) if that's a direction you want to go.
@eliason Nice suggestion, but a bit too funky for where I'm heading :) Thanks!
How about Parry & Parry Grotesque?
@frode Loving the non-Grotesque version, all-caps :D
Rosewood Fill comes to mind. Also, check out the following: Brothers,
Brevia, Rhode.
Would anyone be able to identify this typeface — or name one with similarly recognizable capital O.
Source: http://www.omfgco.com/
This is almost definitely custom lettering — the ffi, the fg — but also looks a bit weird and unbalanced, for example the M.
If you still want to go into the Baskerville direction: My favourite transitional typeface with crispy display variants and awesome swash-alternates is Farnham. Maybe a good starting point to make a logo like this yourself?
Ah, it's Latienne — http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/urw/latienne/
Not too fond of most its other characters...
Oh wonderful! I like that typeface a lot.
But lets say — it's something mimicking something like Latienne. Almost nothing in the logo fits the font.
The thing with "social" websites is that I'll probably need an icon — preferably derived from the logotype — that works at 16×16. So far, I haven't seen any O's as distinct and friendly as Latienne's...
I might actually consider pairing it with a more suitable typeface for the remaining characters, just so I can hold on to the O and do something cheesy like this (to the non-italic variant, rather)
But you can always modify an O in another typeface to look like that, and probably better!
Oh! It took me four glances to get it. Mh…
I'm with Frode: choose a good, fitting typefaces you really like and make your own swash-b-bean-ear-cup O-logo.
Aaaah. It's a cup. That's a really cool idea! I'd spend some serious effort getting it just right. And maybe try to make the handle more in tune with the rest of the O.
Haha, sorry guys, this was whipped up in 30 seconds with the brush tool (Photoshop) in the OMFG logo above.
Obviously, for the final version I would not use the italic variant and probably spend a night pulling beziers on the cup ;)
FWIW the medial swash variant of my Ambicase Modern resembles that a bit:
The OMFG Co. logo is based on Hoefler Text Black Italic.
@R. Spot on! I emailed those guys and they replied that it was, indeed, Hoefler Text. Although it's fairly obvious that the O is in fact Latienne.
Still haven't decided on anything though. This (self-imposed) 16×16 icon requirement is killing all my ideas :(
> Although it's fairly obvious that the O is in fact Latienne.
Oh really?
Oh wow, haha. I take everything back! :)
For those interested: did some logo sketches the other day. See second post on the blog: http://www.oldenburgs.org/ Still not sure whether to go for a wordmark or fix that coffee-cup-O-symbol. Hm.
Hi again!
I've been beating myself up over this typeface for weeks. There are just so many directions that could work. However, I want the logo to feel like the place has been around for a while and withstood the tests of time. So, I ended up with these two and I really, really can't decide. I'd love to hear your opinion.
Which of these two says "cozy coffeehouse" more than the other?
Thanks a bunch!
#2. But please use a real apostrophe.
#1 looks a bit blah to me, while #2 is more 'that old cinema downtown'. Y'know, Fritz Lang's "Metropolis" and a more-or-less forgotten Wurlitzer organ.
Neither of those really say "cozy coffeehouse" to me - more like a deco cinema or something. What about a warm, slabby humanist serif like Dolly, Rooney, or Livory?
I think the reason these are more reminiscent of old cinemas than coffeehouses might to a large part simply lie in the color scheme. Type looks pretty nice to me. #1 is more beer than coffee perhaps.
You might have a look at Minah also. It has a lot of "flavor" and is well executed.
To me, 'cozy coffeehouse' is more like a bold italic Goudy Sans and a colour scheme of cream white, milk-in-coffee pale brown and coffee brown.

DPR Makes Its Arizona Office Net-Zero
DPR Construction has retrofitted its own Phoenix Regional Office to achieve net-zero energy consumption.
DPR was both the owner and contractor for the renovation project, turning a circa-1972 abandoned retail boutique into an office that produces as much or more energy than it consumes. The building has been certified as a Net-Zero Energy Building by the International Living Future Institute through its Living Building Challenge program. In addition, the building achieved LEED Platinum certification from the US Green Building Council.
DPR says it purposely chose a building that was nearing the end of its intended lifecycle and in an extreme climate to show it was possible to build sustainably in a desert.
The renovated 16,533-sq-foot office includes:
- 87 operable windows working in tandem with the energy monitoring system to open and close based on the relative indoor and outdoor temperatures;
- 87-foot zinc clad solar chimney which creates a convection current to release hot air out of the building while drawing cooler air in;
- Shower towers that act as evaporative coolers by working together with the operable windows and solar chimney to regulate building temperatures;
- Twelve eight-foot Isis Big Ass Fans that enable free air flow within the office;
- 82 strategically positioned Solatubes that nearly eliminate the need for artificial daytime lighting;
- Online building dashboard to track the energy production of its 78.96 kW DC photovoltaic system and energy consumption of the building;
- A "vampire" shut-off switch to thwart any electrical devices – microwaves, cellphone charges, radios – that draw energy from power plugs when there are no occupants in the building.
The retrofit was completed in less than 10 months, with a team that included national design firm SmithGroupJJR and global consulting firm DNV KEMA Energy and Sustainability.

METAIRIE, La. -- Malcolm Jenkins and Zach Strief appreciate that the Saints' season-opening loss did nothing to change the minds of those who expect the bounty scandal and related suspensions to undermine their 2012 season.
The team captains would point out only that New Orleans was not immune to poor performances during previous playoff seasons, either. Even then, they had a few games that looked a lot like their out-of-sync, turnover- and penalty-ridden 40-32 loss to Washington on Sunday.
"You're going to lose at some point in the season. That's just the reality of it," Jenkins, a starting free safety, said calmly after a Monday film session breaking down the defense's performance in Sunday's defeat. "I'd rather lose early. You find out what you're team is about. You find your identity, what your strengths and weaknesses are and you correct them."
Two seasons ago, there were losses to Arizona on the road and Cleveland at home. Last season, one week after putting up 62 points against Indianapolis, the Saints lost to St. Louis, which came into that game 0-6.
The loss to the Rams included six sacks of Drew Brees, two Brees interceptions and a blocked Thomas Morstead punt. New Orleans rebounded to win its last eight regular-season games and set numerous offensive records.
Now, however, it remains to be seen whether the Saints will rebound in a similar fashion while coach Sean Payton is suspended and banned for the whole season from lending even a shred of advice to his remaining staff.
Interim head coach Aaron Kromer said he could only imagine what Payton was thinking, assuming he watched the game on television.
"I'm sure he was disappointed that we didn't play better than we did and he should have been," Kromer said. "We were all disappointed -- players, coaches, everyone."
Kromer conceded that the months of buildup to the season opener since the bounty scandal erupted last March might have at least subconsciously affected the Saints in their season opener. When he addressed the team Monday morning, he said he saw too many instances during Sunday's loss of players "doing someone else's job and not doing their own job."
"That's when you try to make a play that's not yours on defense instead of just doing your job and staying within the scheme," Kromer said. "That's when you try to make a pass that isn't needed at the time, because you're trying to press to throw a deep ball to get us in the game right now as opposed to two plays from now. That's when a lineman is trying to help his buddy block a guy by doing something differently. There are plenty of examples within the game."
The Saints have been largely defiant in the face of bounty sanctions, saying their team remains built in Payton's image, that they intend to be in the playoffs for a fourth consecutive season and contend for the Super Bowl, which will be played on their home field in February.
In retrospect, they wondered if they were trying too hard to prove that point in their home opener.
"There was a lot of emotion going into the game," Brees said. "At times, when emotions are so high, you get into the game and you can have a lapse."
Jenkins said it looked to him like some of the corrections began even before the game ended, which is why New Orleans was able to make it a one-possession contest late in the fourth quarter.
"We finished well," Jenkins said. "To have over 10 penalties, to lose the turnover battle and not really have a rhythm the entire game -- to really have a chance to tie it up at the end of the game is encouraging. That just shows us what we have if we really play smart football."
In order to avoid an 0-2 hole and a divisional loss at Carolina next Sunday, the Saints must make a number of corrections quickly. They must recognize what they could have done better against rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III, whose dual-threat capabilities present some of the same challenges defenses face against the Panthers' Cam Newton. They must get more comfortable with the scheme installed by new defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. The offense, meanwhile, need to be more in sync, eliminating pre-snap penalties and missed blocking assignments.
"You wish you didn't have that game where you have to come in and refocus," said Streif, a starting right tackle who has been with the Saints since 2006. "Sometimes that's hard to see and maybe guys are not looking in the mirror like they should, but at the same time, that's the benefit of them building a locker room with character.
"I tell you right now, the practice on Wednesday will be a good practice, and that's speaking from experience here of what happens after these [difficult] games," Streif added. "We'll get closer and we'll respond."
The Saints placed recently re-instated LB Jon Vilma on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list, meaning he'll be out at least six games. Vilma is rehabilitating from offseason left knee surgery. ... The Saints also brought back WR Adrian Arrington, who had been cut Saturday, and signed OT Bryce Harris off of Atlanta's practice squad. .. Kromer said CB Johnny Patrick's right leg injury, which forced him from Sunday's game in the second quarter, is "hopefully not as bad it looks." Kromer said the same appears to be the case with WR Devery Henderson, who was hit in the back of the head, and LB Scott Shanle, who left the game with an undisclosed leg injury.

WASHINGTON, D.C., April 20, 2011 -- The National Association of Black Journalists (NABJ) announced at its spring Board of Directors meeting that pioneering sports journalist Claire Smith will receive its Legacy Award. Smith will be recognized at the association's 36th Annual Convention and Career Fair in Philadelphia, PA, the largest annual gathering of minority journalists in the country. The award will be bestowed Saturday, Aug. 6, 2011.
A member of the Baseball Writers Association of America, Smith has written about sports for over 25 years, for the Philadelphia Bulletin, Hartford Courant, New York Times, and Philadelphia Inquirer. For over 20 years, her beat was Major League Baseball. In July 2007, she started in a new direction and new industry when she joined ESPN as a news editor, working with the production teams on MLB game broadcasts. She is the author "Don Baylor: Nothing But The Truth, a Baseball Life," an autobiography of a great baseball man. Also of tremendous importance to Smith was former commissioner Fay Vincent's invitation to participate in a groundbreaking oral history project to benefit the Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum in Cooperstown.
"Claire Smith is one of our best and brightest, a true trailblazer befitting of our annual Legacy Award, one of our organizations highest honors," said NABJ President Kathy Y. Times. "Claire has been a pioneer for women in sports journalism, and her career in baseball is second to none. She is most deserving."
Smith often refers to her defining moment, which came in the 1984 National League Championship Series between the Chicago Cubs and San Diego Padres. She was physically removed by players from the Padres clubhouse after Game One. While the situation was eventually resolved, thanks to Baseball Commissioner Peter Ueberroth, it left scars for a number of years.
Commissioner of Baseball Bowie Kuhn, who once fought to keep women sports writers out of major league clubhouses, later called Smith, "the best baseball writer in America."
But despite the hardships, Smith reminds us all to encourage our daughters, nieces and granddaughters to pursue sports writing as a career.
"Claire Smith epitomizes the true meaning of this the award. She has created a legacy and is a pioneer covering Major League Baseball. She fought through sitting in a white male-dominated press box with grace and dignity to tell the stories of America's favorite pastime,'' said NABJ Treasurer and Sports Task Force Chair, Gregory Lee. "NABJ, and in particular the NABJ Sports Task Force, owes her a great debt for her work representing us."
Smith also has been honored with the Sam Lacy Legacy Award by the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum and MLB.com.
Garry D. Howard, editor in chief of Sporting News, admires Smith for her contributions to the field of sports journalism.
"Claire Smith epitomizes what a great sports reporter and editor should be," said Howard. "She has been a role model in this business for me, personally, and so many others. She taught me patience and excellence, and helped me understand that perseverance would be needed to reach any goal in the often difficult sports journalism field. I owe her so much for that sage guidance."
This year Smith will join other top honorees, including Miami Herald's Jacqueline Charles for Journalist of the Year, at NABJ's Annual Awards Gala. The Salute to Excellence Awards Gala recognizes journalism that best covered the black experience or addressed issues affecting the worldwide black community during 2010.
NABJ's 36th Annual Convention and Career Fair will take place August 3-7, 2011 in Philadelphia, PA. For additional information, ticket sales, and registration, please visit here.
An advocacy group established in 1975 in Washington, D.C., NABJ is the largest organization of journalists of color in the nation, and provides educational, career development and support to black journalists worldwide.

Hyundai launches the X900 tablet
While not widely known in Western countries for their electronics, Hyundai has produced a number of low-cost tablets in recent years. The South Korean company recently released a new model called the Hyundai X900.
The new tablet features a very impressive 9.7-inch 2048 x 1536 display, a quad-core Rockchip RK3188 ARM Cortex-A9 processor, 2 GB of RAM, and 16 GB internal storage. It runs on Android 4.1 and offers great connectivity options: 3G, 802.11 b/g/n wifi, and Bluetooth. Other features include front and rear-facing 2 MP cameras, a MicroSD slot that supports up to 32 GB cards, a micro USB port, and 5 to 10 hours battery life.
The X900 offers a lot when you consider that it is currently selling online in the United states for as little as US$238. The ultra-high screen resolution is particularly surprising for a budget device, and is something we're more used to seeing on an Apple Ipad that costs at least twice as much.
Unfortunately the combination of ultra-high definition and low price don't seem to always come together seamlessly, and early reviews report a sometimes sluggish experience. Still, the X900 shows that ultra-HD displays don't have to come for a premium price anymore and we can likely look forward to better in the near future.

Derby TV
Jay recounts his top 20 highlights of the 131st Kentucky Derby, as seen on TV.
Here are my 20 highlights of the 131st Kentucky Derby, as seen on TV.
20. There were so many horses looking to get it on that the cameras missed entries number 16 through 20 in the post parade, all the home viewer got was a view of rumps from well behind and above.
19. One of the new luxury boxes at Churchill cost $260,000 per year; wonder what watching a $10,000 claiming race in a quarter million dollar crib would be like.
18. Kenny Mayne was the only person to get a pre-Derby interview with George Steinbrenner, who had about as much to say as his horse.
17. It sounded like "My Old Kentucky Home" was being played from the football stadium a few blocks over, too quiet.
16. In an allowance early on the day's racing card from Churchill Downs, a gate worker reached over and smacked an unruly horse on its head. Probably didn't hurt. Sure didn't help.
15. On the early morning show on ESPN, reporter Kenny Rice passed by Bandini's stall and asked the horse for a sign. The horse did nothing then, and followed up with more of the same during the race.
14. Hours before the running of the Derby, Afleet Alex trainer Tim Ritchie said that the outcome of the race had already been written in the stars, possibly causing some people to cash in and redirect some win wagers.
13. Television's Randy Moss said that in a crackdown on cheating, one of the things they're testing horses for is cobra venom: CSI Backstretch.
12. Angel Cordero Jr., age 61, was shown galloping horses in the morning like a teenager because he still loves the sport.
11. The authors of the new book "Six Secrets of Successful Bettors" were shown tearing up losing wagering tickets, suggesting they should have looked for secrets seven, eight or even nine.
10. Neither Lukas nor Baffert were interviewed.
9. At a party the night before the Derby, Rebecca Romijn was shown reminding us why we like low-cut dresses.
8. Kid Rock reminded us why we love this sport so much as he described how he was going to make his Derby bet. He was going to be blindfolded and spun around, then he would point at a horse and bet a grand on whatever it was.
7. West Point Thoroughbreds Inc. ran the best commercial Derby day, wherein somebody tried to describe the finish of a race and became incoherently excited.
6. A reporter said, "They even let Kurt and I in." Then a trainer said, "He done it within himself." I don't want to get uppity about grammar, but that ain't right.
5. Trainer Jeff Mullins took a shot at the Beyer speed figures before the race, saying that one guys figures them and he can figure anything he wants. Turns out a 120 Beyer on a walk in the park doesn't have that much to do with a swamped Kentucky Derby after all. Turns out the top Beyer figures win around a third of the time. Nothing is easy is it.
4. Working the society scene, reporter Jennifer Smith asked Sir Richard Branson, who made Virgin Air, if there was anything he would like to do on a race horse. He didn't know what to say and didn't say much of anything.
3. In another celebrity interview, Jennifer Smith asked Matthew Fox of the popular television series "Lost" if he knew how the season's last dramatic episode would end. There was another pause. Then the actor said yeah, he knew how it would end because they had already filmed it.
2. The governor of Kentucky said that slot machines could be a factor when it came to supporting racing in the state, so much for the simple purity of the game in its homeland.
1. The national horse handicapping experts failed on a scale seldom witnessed in sports history. Two experts on national television said that Bellamy Road looked like the next Seattle Slew. Others said he was extra special. It was as though the Beyer number of 120 made anything else unworthy of the average expert's intelligence. The lead handicapper for a popular cable sports network offered a Pick Four ticket that used 11 horses, hitting none, a feat previously thought to be impossible. Expense account bar tabs are flying at half-mast.
Watch the Preakness Stakes on Saturday, May 21 at 5 p.m. ET on NBC.

I worked at Multimedia Games
Get to work in a field (gaming/gambling) that is unusual and few people get to see. Lots of interesting and behind the scenes view into casinos.
You will be worked hard and expected to be available for support at all hours of the night. You may have to travel at any given moment with very little notice.
Show more appreciation to employees that go the extra mile. Offer bonuses and stock to employees that put in extra time and effort or go above and beyond.

ProsPay is fair
Good work/home life balance
Unique work experience working with Indian casino gaming
Casual work environment and dress codeConsTraining is virtually nonexistent
Disorganized in a lot of business processes
Support from management is lacking at times
Employees are placed in positions without consideration of their qualifications or their career pathAdvice to ManagementAdviceWhen you unilaterally pigeonhole your employees into undesirable positions, you're pretty much telling them you don't value them as employees and they will go elsewhere. Start treating your employees as partners instead of flunkies. Work with them on their career paths to find the best fit for both the employee and the company.

I have been working at Multimedia Games
ProsLots to work on and it's pretty dynamic. Chances to work on a variety of technologies / platforms, so it never gets boring. Work / life balance is pretty good. Rewards are given more for success than for simply working hard.
ConsNo real chance for career growth - company is stagnant and offers few opportunities to climb the corporate ladder.
Not a place to come if you're a beginner - there is no training and most developers are too busy to show newbies the ropes.
Not very much cooperation among teams or even within teams - everyone is out to prove that they are the indispensable team / developer, even if it means putting down good ideas simply because they did not think of them first (how else could we have 3 different developments for the SAME product).Advice to ManagementAdviceFoster a more cooperative environment among people and teams. Growth growth growth (I know, easier said than done).

As fun as haphazard punchline-fests can be, there's something to be said for an emcee who can go in and Connect the Dots, delivering verses that flow seamlessly from one line to the next. If you've been searching for new tunes by an artist who aspires to that level of craftsmanship, then the latest single from Ontario-based Booth newcomer MisterE may be just what the doctor ordered. Here, the rapper/producer's own eclectically catchy, guitar-brass-synth boardwork sets the stage for braggadocious bars that, thanks to his attention to detail and intricate rhyme schemes, only sound fresher on repeat listens. "Intertwine rhymes while I'm sippin' fine wine, very dope – the 'E' could stand for Mr. Einstein." DJ Uncle Fester ties it all together, contributing some old-school cuts on the front and back. Has this joint inspired you to pursue further investigations into MisterE's musical oeuvre? Then grab a copy of the emcee's latest mixtape, Dusting for Prints, right here.

IU tops Big Ten experience ranks
Phil Steele sizes up the conference based on returning production
Way back in 2002, at a time before freshmen won Heisman Trophies, I based my yearly team-experience rankings on returning senior starters and actually penalized teams for having freshman starters. Then, Tim Tebow won the Heisman in 2007 and started a trend of underclassmen playing more prominent roles. By 2009, I had to tweak my formula to factor in returning letter winners, percentage of yards and tackles returning and career offensive line starts returning.
While experience doesn't necessarily trump talent, teams from the Power Five conferences that have ranked in the top 10 of my experience rankings since 2009 have seen their records, on average, improve or stay the same over the previous season 76 percent of the time. On the opposite end of the spectrum, teams that have ranked in the bottom 10 of my experience rankings have seen their records, on average, get weaker or stay the same 78 percent of the time.
It is worth noting that the average experience ranking for teams playing in the national championship game since 2009 is just 49th, with last season's national champ Florida State Seminoles coming in at 78th. That makes sense when you consider that most championship contenders lose several starting underclassmen to the NFL draft each year but make up for the losses by bringing in elite recruits.
With that in mind, here are my 2014 experience rankings for the Big Ten:
1. Indiana Hoosiers (national rank: No. 3)
The Hoosiers top my Big Ten experience rankings for the second year in a row, with 17 returning starters. It should be noted that since my magazine went to press, quarterback Tre Roberson (1,551 total yards last season) transferred to Illinois State, and their percent of offensive yards returning went from 67 percent (No. 61 in the country) to 56 (No. 84).
IU still welcomes back leading passer Nate Sudfeld and leading rusher Tevin Coleman, and the offensive line has 130 career starts (third most in the country). The defense returns 13 of its top 14 tacklers. Due to their experience, I give the Hoosiers a solid shot at landing just their second bowl game since 1993.

KTXS-TV is the ABC television affiliate for the Abilene/Sweetwater/Brownwood market. The station is licensed to Sweetwater, and broadcasts its digital signal on UHF channel 20 (Suddenlink cable 4 in Abilene) from a broadcasting tower near Trent, Texas. KTXS maintains studios located on North Clack Street in Abilene. Syndicated programming broadcast on KTXS includes: The Ellen DeGeneres Show, Bethenny, Dr. Phil, and Texas Country Reporter.
KTXS also has a low powered repeater, KTXE-LP channel 38 in San Angelo, Texas (called "KTXE 12", reflecting its cable slot on Suddenlink channel 12 in San Angelo).

KTXS signed on as KPAR-TV on January 2, 1956. It was part of the West Texas Television Network, based at KDUB-TV (now KLBK-TV, channel 13) in Lubbock, and was a primary CBS affiliate with a secondary ABC affiliation. During the late 1950s, the station was also briefly affiliated with the NTA Film Network.[1] The station's first studio was built on the eastern edge of Sweetwater; broadcasts from this location included a 6pm newscast.
Grayson Enterprises bought the West Texas Television Network stations in 1961. Grayson opened a satellite studio in Abilene in the early 1960s, and soon moved most of KPAR's operations there. This resulted in the first of many fines from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for violating "main studio" regulations. In 1966, the station moved most of its operations to a new studio in north Abilene and the call letters were changed to KTXS. The station became a sole ABC affiliate when KTAB-TV signed on in 1979 and took over as Abilene's CBS affiliate.
In the late fifties or early sixties, auxiliary studios were built at a former auto dealer building in Abilene. In 1962 or later, the Abilene studios were moved to a new shopping mall (Westgate Shopping center) on the west edge of Abilene. These were used until 1966 when the studios were moved to the highway bypass at the north edge of town, straddling the city of Abilene, the county, and a small town called Impact (founded to allow liquor in otherwise dry west Texas).
Grayson nearly lost its stations, including KTXS, four times between 1968 and 1971 due to licensing issues. In 1977, their renewals were deferred pending a hearing. Grayson was accused of fraudulent billing, program and transmitter log fabrication, main studio violations, failure to make required technical tests, and other problems.
The case was settled in what was then described as a "distress sale" where the stations were sold to a minority controlled group (nowadays known as a historically underutilized group) at a reduced price. The company breakup helped define the parameters of such a sale. KLBK and KTXS were sold to Prima, Inc., who was granted a permanent waiver of the main studio rule. It shut down the Sweetwater studio, but still identifies as "Sweetwater/Abilene."
In 1979, the station dropped CBS and became a full ABC affiliate after KTAB-TV signed on. In September 2006, KTXS started broadcasting the CW Television Network on digital subchannel 12.2. Bluestone Television sold KTXS to Bonten Media Group in 2007. Bonten Media also owns station WCYB in Bristol, Virginia and manages several other stations. On December 31, 2008 KTXS began broadcasting in High Definition on Suddenlink cable. On June 12, 2009, KTXS Chief Engineer Leland Ohlhausen turned off the analog transmitter.
Coverage area[edit]
KTXS-TV serves as the ABC affiliate for 16 counties in West Central Texas that are part of the Abilene television market area (Taylor, Nolan, Callahan, Coleman, Brown, Runnels, Stephens, Shackelford, Jones, Eastland, Fisher, Scurry, Mitchell, Haskell, Stonewall, & Knox).
KTXS also provides coverage for six other counties that are on the fringe of the actual assigned viewing market (Throckmorton Wichita Falls-Lawton DMA, Comanche Dallas-Fort Worth DMA, Tom Green San Angelo DMA, Coke San Angelo DMA, McCulloch San Angelo DMA, & Concho also assigned to the San Angelo area DMA); Throckmorton County was reassigned to the Wichita Falls/Lawton DMA from the Abilene DMA, as of September 2008.
News operation[edit]
This section requires expansion with: further history before 2011 and after 2011. (September 2014) |
On Wednesday, August 10, 2011, KTXS began broadcasting the news in 720p high definition with a new set and new graphics.

Aflatoxin Toxicity Reduction in Feed by Enhanced Binding to Surface-Modified Clay Additives
Received: 18 May 2011 / Revised: 3 June 2011 / Accepted: 9 June 2011 / Published: 10 June 2011
(This article belongs to the Special Issue Aflatoxins)
Abstract: Animal feeding studies have demonstrated that clay additives, such as bentonites, can bind aflatoxins in ingested feed and reduce or eliminate the toxicity. Bentonite deposits are found throughout the world and mostly consist of expandable smectite minerals, such as montmorillonite. The surfaces of smectite minerals can be treated with organic compounds to create surface-modified clays that more readily bind some contaminants than the untreated clay. Montmorillonites treated with organic cations, such as hexadecyltrimethylammonium (HDTMA) and phenyltrimethylammonium (PTMA), more effectively remove organic contaminants, such as benzene and toluene, from water than untreated clay. Similarly, montmorillonite treated with PTMA (Kd = 24,100) retained more aflatoxin B1 (AfB1) from aqueous corn flour than untreated montmorillonite (Kd = 944). Feed additives that reduced aflatoxin toxicity in animal feeding studies adsorbed more AfB1 from aqueous corn flour than feed additives that were less effective. The organic cations HDTMA and PTMA are considered toxic and would not be suitable for clay additives used in feed or food, but other non-toxic or nutrient compounds can be used to prepare surface-modified clays. Montmorillonite (SWy) treated with choline (Kd = 13,800) and carnitine (Kd = 3960) adsorbed much more AfB1 from aqueous corn flour than the untreated clay (Kd = 944). A choline-treated clay prepared from a reduced-charge, high-charge montmorillonite (Kd = 20,100) adsorbed more AfB1 than the choline-treated high-charge montmorillonite (Kd = 1340) or the untreated montmorillonite (Kd = 293). Surface-modified clay additives prepared using low-charge smectites and nutrient or non-toxic organic compounds might be used to more effectively bind aflatoxins in contaminated feed or food and prevent toxicity.

Just what did Britney SPears do again?
Rated 1.5 / 5 stars
A parody of the Britney Spears song "Oops I Did It Again". The art wasn't that bad. It looked a little bit like Spears. The sound effects were suitable for the video. The joke was just childish really and not that funny.
Rated 1 / 5 stars
Kind of a funny take on her hit single Oops I Did it Again, was kind of amusing to watch a celebrity who at the time was bigger than ever just wet her bed and act so brain dead. Some decent humour in it.
Unfortunately the plot of the movie is really quite uncreative with very poor quality and sound. It's really quite childish humour, I could barely hear Britney's voice either. A lot better quality and detail into the flash would have made it more amusing, and perhaps do your own spoof on her song altogether and that would have been much more creative. The length was also much to short to really be all that interesting, needs a lot of more effort put into it man.
A decent take on the real reason for Britney's hit single, but this flash really shows it's age in both animation quality and sound quality. The length is much to short and the creativity to lacking.
Rated 3 / 5 stars
ohohhhohoho those were the days...
Oh man and this was before the time she was a whiny little crackwhore. To make matters worse I ENJOYED it when I was younger...Good god I hope to put that shit all in the past.
That said despite the cheesey animation and punchline it still gave me a stupid chuckle. Also 1,000,000 views. Damn

VIEWS: 2 PAGES: 2 CATEGORY: Business POSTED ON: 6/12/2012
with every meal , you can add inside balanced sides that you pick (whole milk , fresh fruit , and so
Will Nutrisystem Benefit Myself ? When i get email messages coming from men and women wondering when Nutrisystem does work , i could notice numerous questions that we myself got once i was studying the diet program. a number of widespread considerations indicated are : "may Nutrisystem help me personally basically have zero willpower ?;" "does it help me personally when we have hit a brick wall upon additional diets ?" "does it help me personally basically be a cheater every so often ?" and also "how quickly does it function ?" i will attempt to reply these kinds of inquiries the best as i could (according to my own , personal encounters ) with this article. The principles of Nutrisystem: Before my partner and i reply the aforementioned inquiries , i wish to give simply a simple overview of how the method works. you've probably already observed the particular ads that show Jillian Barberie inside a little sting bikini tossing any feet golf ball to be able to john Marino and also explaining exactly how she has eating pizzas , burgers , and also marijuana toast. nicely , chiefly accurate. This plan has great variety in terms of comfort food that might commonly become not allowed. there's ravioli, macaroni and also cheese , cereal, chocolates dessert , a few types of pizzas and so on. you will find well over 120 selections and many tastes alright. nonetheless , this is the diet hence the helping sizes are relatively small. But, the good thing to be able to counteract this can be that you just eat half a dozen times per day. you will eat your own typical dishes , your own snacks , along with your desserts. and also , together with every meal , you can add inside balanced sides that you pick (whole milk , fresh fruit , and so on.) so , this does supply you with a little handle over your mood to be able to morning dishes. And also , eating often means that most people are a smaller amount eager as compared to these people terrifying. The building block of the diet (and also electronics equipment ? function ) is the fact the foodstuffs are lower in "poor carbohydrates " and also all kinds of sugar and also elevated in proteins. this specific places your system in a state known as ketosis, and this is often known as "fat reducing function." Does Nutrisystem help folks who aren't keen on diets or even individuals with simply no committment ?: alright , so to the particular questions about the diet program operating even though you will not keep with diets as well as have zero committment. nicely , here's the one thing. i am unable to that is amazing there's anyone on the market who's been recently over a diet long term which includes certainly not , ever scammed onto it (at the least somewhat.) and also , it is rather present with become upon a lot of diets when you finally find any particular one that will twigs. so , there is no need to overpower on your own upward and doubt on your own prior to you might have even began. it's never any good concept to penetrate through an attitude of malfunction. But, you must recognize that for the diet program to be effective , you have to enter ketosis. and also , should you comply with mostly alongside , it is not an excessive amount of any expand. you happen to be ingesting about 1200-1300 calories per day. you're eating great proteins and also fibers. and also , unless you're eating sweet something like that awfully carb laden or even sugary for your sides , you should well be in the product range of ketosis inside of with regards to 2-3 nights. So, let's stay you commence the diet over a monday , however friday you should key in fat reducing function. nAturally , to stay right here , you will need to conserve the low-calorie / reduced carbohydrate eating. in case you are following alongside because told , it is not an issue. today , it takes about 2-3 nights to acquire yourself too much of the condition. in other words , should you be a cheater , you've still got a bit of a screen when you fallout of "fat reducing function." nonetheless , if you undertake , you'll need yet another a couple of days possibly even to acquire back in. My level are these claims. you could be a cheater , but not long term : if you don't desire to consider yourself too much in the video game during their visit. however , if you undertake , only hop again upon as quickly as you can. generally , you need to be in ketosis just as much as you can manage. and also , you should check this specific through the use of ketone pieces so that you do not have to guess. Who doesn't Nutrisystem help : I invest considerable time on the website and also prior to i managed to get began on the diet program , my partner and i adopted people who ended up profitable and people who ended up lost onto it. i think , this one isn't a fantastic in shape in case you are excited about preparing , getting ready , and also tallying their food. the reason with that is the fact that typically , the job may be for you. you will not should take with them somewhat meals diary or even make special food yourself. simply construct the foodstuffs the company provides and also crop up available a number of natural yoghurts or even pick up a bit of fresh fruit (to illustrate your own sides.) so , should you really enjoy cooking food and also preparing , you could be annoyed by this specific expertise. Setting on your own as much as have great results : Remember once i said my partner and i adopted the particular profitable individuals ? i'll let you know just what many been in widespread. Almost all of them employed the particular free guidance and also needed complete benefit of it. a reverse phone lookup can be , in my estimation , just what sets Nutrisystem besides a lot of additional comparable diets. It is so good to own a person knowledgeable and also inspiring on your side. And, people who ended up very successful failed to force or even waste on their own , nonetheless they employed each and every accomplishment to set new goals so that they ended up always carrying on with to move onward. they might setup little snacks and also determination for their own reasons and when these people did reach weekly in which they merely dropped declare a couple of weight , that will understood that will a couple of weight was still being successful and that it was extremely most likely they would replace it another week while their quantities will be much better. In brief , people most abundant in accomplishment know that case a moment and also attitude video game. generally , you comply with alongside because led , you do have a positive attitude , and you have confidence in that will because the prepare has worked for a great number of others , there's no belief that it certainly can't be right for you as well. cici s pizza coupons printable
