Recently we talked about the dire state of mobile for bands, as discovered by a panel at the SXSW conference in March. The discovery emphasized the importance of going mobile for anyone in the music industry, pro or not. Bands and artists are already heavily invested in social networking and internet engagement with fans, and there is a positive trend of bands moving toward blog-style websites in favor of Flash-heavy interactive experiences. The result is even more importance on interaction through other mediums, with mobile at the top of the list.
Ingredients for the Perfect Mobile Band Site
While it's all about the music, the fans needs, likes and behaviors determine the most successful factors of a good website, release or marketing campaign. When it comes to the web, fans want it to be easy to listen to and buy the music, browse merch and access updated information on what the band is up to or where they will be appearing. Here are a handful of things that must be in the mix:
- News or Blog Feeds
- eCommerce
- Galleries
- Biographies
- Email subscriptions
- Social Network integration
These are just a few of the critical elements. You'll find many bands also have forums, downloads with ringtones or wallpapers, member-only content or special SMS promotions, but let your fans drive the scale of your website. As the fanbase grows, more features can be added. Better yet, ask them what they want to see and allow them to help you tailor an experience that suits them!
Mobile Band Sites that Work
As pointed out by the SXSW panel, the number of bands with a functional mobile website were disastrously low. However, there is a rapid influx of apps and "responsive" websites cropping up that may provide some much-needed inspiration for anyone looking to go mobile with their music website. Here are 10 mobile websites from bands that offer a speedy, pleasant mobile experience without a lot of high-tech wizardry. Each site offers simple content and the essential ingredients listed above, which you can draw upon to build your own mobile website. Enjoy!
Lady Gaga
It's easy to start off with the queen of pop. Not only does she have a stellar engagement record with her fans, she understands what they are looking for. Her mobile site is not the prettiest one on this list, but it has everything, including news, live Twitter updates, events, videos, galleries, chat, fan club sign-up and an essential link to head over to the full site if preferred.
Designer Johan Wuyckens carefully crafted this Belgian rock band's mobile website to look stunning on small displays and offer a unique, fun user experience.
This band website uses a simple app-style layout but doesn't skimp on content. It even has complete Facebook integration where fans can see live updates and interact directly with the band's wall. The band offers a bit of light mobile e-commerce in the form of iTunes links for videos and songs.
Harbinger is a Toronto based band that also uses large icon-based navigation buttons. Their mobile site features mobile-optimized images, Soundcloud integration, Twitter and Facebook, blog feeds, multi-media, events and more. Like the other sites listed so far, the only thing missing is mobile e-commerce.
The Black Keys
The Black Keys keep it very simple, using strong black and white contrast, which works great on mobiles. They have all the essential content categories down, plus they offer a newsletter signup. While there still is not mobile e-commerce here, a link is provided to get you to the full shop.
Foo Fighters
The Foo Fighters website uses a responsive layout to adapt to a variety of screen sizes. This allows the band to focus on one place to deliver content, knowing it will work for tablets, smartphones and different desktop resolutions. This allows fans to access a huge amount of content, including the online store. Unfortunately, the one drawback with responsive design is that it may look and function adequately on a mobile device, but it is not necessarily optimized for mobiles, leaving some elements such as forms and navigation a bit clumsy for touch screens. It is always better to create a mobile website that is designed specially for mobiles, and simply tie it into the same sources for content.
Paramore's main website is a fan's dream come true, and the mobile site doesn't disappoint either. The band keeps the layout minimal to focus on content, opening with a simple news feed from their blog. They manage to cover everything else, including ticket sales and RSVP directly from the Events page. This is definitely the site to match.
Stay tuned for a spotlight on how to build an HTML5-powered mobile website for your band or music project using the free website builder.

Description Windows Server 2012 is a server operating system that enables a computer to handle network roles such as print server, domain controller, web server, and file server. As a server operating system, it is also the platform for separately acquired server applications such as Exchange Server or SQL Server. The Standard Edition is designed for small-to-medium-sized organizations with physical or lightly virtualized server environments. This donation provides one Standard Edition server license. Each license allows up to two physical processors on one server and up to two virtual instances of the server software. For additional licensing information, see below. Benefits for Organizations If you have system administration experience, you can use Windows Server to: Run multiple server roles and different operating systems on a single server Reduce the amount of hardware needed to run server workloads Minimize the time it takes to set up hardware and software and reproduce test environments Major Capabilities Server virtualization: Hyper-V provides tools for creating and managing a virtualized server computing environment. Hyper-V Replica can replicate a virtual machine from one location to another, without shared storage, storage arrays, or other replication technologies. Server management: The Server Core provides a minimal environment for running specific server roles. Those roles are then easier to maintain and manage and less exposed to attack. Administrators can manage groups of servers collectively from within a single, integrated console. Integrated services: Windows Server 2012 delivers a unified platform for web publishing that integrates IIS, ASP.NET, and Windows Communication Foundation and also supports SharePoint Services. Failover clustering: Administrators can minimize disruptions of services and applications by creating a redundant server environment with dynamic hardware partitioning. DirectAccess: This secure tunneling feature allows access to the network from any computer or device. It is faster than typical VPN connections and provides off-site access to file shares, on-premises equipment, and other resources. Licensing The Standard and Datacenter editions of Windows Server both use processor-based licensing, with each license allowing up to two physical processors. The two editions have identical features, but they differ in the number of virtual instances of the server software you are allowed to run. For additional information about the available editions of Windows Server 2012 and the server and client licensing requirements, see the Guide to Windows Server Editions and Licensing.

Participating libraries must also make their collection and basic services available to the population of their legal service area without charges to individual users (excluding incidental fees such as printing charges). If they so choose, libraries may impose charges on users outside the legal service area and may provide products and services (beyond basic services) to the public at large, with or without individual charges. Organizations that are not eligible: Not all 501(c)(3) nonprofit organizations are eligible for participation in the Microsoft Donation Program.

Eligible organizations receive an allotment of Microsoft software donation requests that is reset every two years. An organization's two-year cycle begins with its first donation request after July 27, 2011. After two years, a new cycle begins, and a new allotment available. The organization does not need to request the full amount of its allotment. There is no limit to the number of separate requests the organization can make and no minimum quantity requirement. During its two-year cycle, an organization can request products from up to 10 title groups. For title groups that contain applications that run on an individual computer (like a desktop or laptop PC), there is a 50-license maximum. For title groups that contain client access licenses or other licenses that provide for connection to or management of a server, there is also a 50-license maximum. For server products, there is a five-product maximum, regardless of title group. For further details, see Quantity and Frequency of Microsoft Requests on the Microsoft Donation Program — Eligibility and Allotments page. Microsoft products may not be transferred between separate legal entities or resold. Additionally, Microsoft products may not be installed on computers that will be given to or sold to other organizations or individuals, even as part of a charitable program. Donated product will be distributed under this program to qualifying organizations and libraries only, not to individuals.

Daily OCD 7/6/12 | |
Written by Jen Vaughn | Filed under Rick Marschall, Love and Rockets, Kevin Avery, Justin Hall, Johnny Gruelle, Jaime Hernandez, Flannery OConnor, Disney, Daily OCD, Chris Wright, Carl Barks | 6 Jul 2012 7:34 PM |
The greenest Online Commentaries & Diversion:
•Review: Mark Frauenfelder of Boing Boing gushed about Walt Disney's Uncle Scrooge: Only a Poor Old Man. "[Carl Barks'] art is expressive and perfectly rendered. . . I think the best way to read Barks is via The Complete Carl Barks Disney Library, published by Fantagraphics."
•Review: The New York Review of Books takes a look at Flannery O'Connor: The Cartoons. Barry Moser: "[Flannery O'Connor] also said that a story—or a linoleum print, if you will—has to have muscle as well as meaning, and the meaning has to be in the muscle. Her prints certainly have muscle, and a lot of it."
•Plug: Kotaku was pleased with their copy of God and Science by Jaime Hernandez in an article called "Four Comics That Will Vibrate Your Molecules This Week." Evan Narcisse expands on an idea, "It's as if [the Hernandez Brothers] never shook their adolescent fascination with rayguns and capes, choosing instead to deepen the metaphoric and escapist elements of such genre tropes."
•Plug: Comics Crux snagged a copy of Jaime Hernandez' God and Science plus the FIB mini. Jess Pendley matter-of-factly states: "If you are a fan of either Jaime Hernandez or traditional capes-and-tights stories, you'll only be doing yourself a service by purchasing this right now."
•Interview (video): Watch an 'Outrageous Tub' interview featuring No Straight Lines editor Justin Hall on Accidental Bear. In reference to a superhero question "Are you good or bad?" Hall replied, "I haven't made a decision yet." Be bad, be sooo bad.
•Plug: The guys over at Stumptown Trade Review got excited about No Straight Lines, edited by Justin Hall: "It was just the other day that I mentioned one could never tell what was coming from Fantagraphics. As if to prove my point, they are at it again. . ."
•Review: Paste Magazine had a lovely time reading Mr. Twee Deedle (edited by Rick Marschall): "[Johnny Gruelle's] strips seem crafted mostly to impart lessons (be kind, don't wiggle, giving is better than receiving), and there's no question that they can feel preachy and simplistic, but the art, deliberately old-fashioned even at the time and reminiscent of Kate Greenaway's illustrations, rescues them."
•Plug: Robot 6 caught the scent of a very good book slated for September by Chris Wright. Michael May is excited for Blacklung: "Depressing, existential AND romantic? I couldn't sign up quickly enough for Chris Wright's original graphic novel debut."
•Review: Litkicks takes the time for a lengthy review of Everything Is An Afterthought: The Life and Writings of Paul Nelson, edited by Kevin Avery. Alan Bisbort also interviewed one of Nelson's mentees in the world of music criticism: "Rolling Stone was home to a lot of alpha males and females, especially on the writing side, and Paul was just the antithesis of that."

The MLS Disciplinary Committee fined Real Salt Lake midfielder Ned Grabavoy an undisclosed amount on Monday for an act of simulation that led to a yellow card for Marcelo Sarvas in the 90th minute of RSL's 3-1 victory over the LA Galaxy on Saturday.
Referee Drew Fischer awarded a yellow card to Sarvas for a foul on Grabavoy, but the Disciplinary Committee unamiously ruled that the RSL midfielder committed an obvious act of simulation resulting in the fine.
Sarvas remains suspended for LA's June 19 match against the Portland Timbers due to yellow card accumulation. According to the Disciplinary Committee Principles and Parameters, cards issued in MLS matches can not be appealed except in a case of mistaken identity. Appeals have been made to an independent review board this season for red card offenses, but it does not apply to yellow card cautions.
Several weeks ago, NBC Sports debuted their latest episode of MLS 36 centering on LA Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez and now you can watch the program in its entireity below.
Check it out.
The LA Galaxy have been linked to Mexican international Giovani Dos Santos for the past week and we may have confirmation that LA has made a move for the dynamic attacking midfielder. Kind of.
Lorenzo Serra Ferrer, the president of Dos Santos' current club RCD Mallorca, told Valencia-based newspaper Superdeporte on Monday that his side has received just one offer for the Mexican international—from a club in MLS.
"We have just one offer for Gio and it is from the American league," Serra Ferrer said. "There is nothing more. We must speak with him and see what his future will be."
Dos Santos is currently away on international duty with the Mexican National Team as they continue qualifying campaign for the 2014 World Cup.
In addition to the Galaxy, Dos Santos has been linked to La Liga sides Valencia—which Superdeporte claims is the 24-year-old's top choice—Real Betis, and Sevilla. A Dos Santos transfer will likely be tricky and may favor the Galaxy as Dos Santos' former club Tottenham Hotspur reportedly still own 50% of the player's rights after selling the other half to Mallorca last summer.
SANDY, Utah -- Landon Donovan stepped up in a big way to give the LA Galaxy a 1-1 draw heading into the second half against Real Salt Lake, but once the half begun, Real Salt Lake notched two unanswered goals from Olmes Garcia to seal a 3-1 victory over the Galaxy.
Although Donovan rose to the challenge at that moment, the Galaxy have seen too few step up in critical moments during their recent skid.
The loss is LA's second consecutive defeat in league play, but their third in a row if you factor in their U.S. Open Cup defeat to the Carolina RailHawks. Stretch it out even further and LA has just one win -- their April 29 victory over Seattle Sounders FC -- in their last five matches across all competitions. During that time, LA has played three of those games without the services of either captain Robbie Keane or defensive stalwart Omar Gonzalez, and according to Donovan, the Galaxy must perform better when missing key players.
"In this league you don't have a roster of 20 or 25 guys that are sort of all the same. In other leagues in the world you have more of that. In this league when you miss 3 or 4 guys that are instrumental, it makes a difference," Donovan told reporters after the match. "We can still be better as a group with the guys we have. We have done enough for the most part to get some points in these games, but we're falling short when it matters."
That is not the only issue however, as LA has developed a tendency to concede late goals over their past two league games. LA has conceded five times in the last 10 minutes in their two matches, but Donovan believes that those numbers do not tell the whole story.
"On the surface it's five goals in two games, but maybe not all. When you're pushing to get goals sometimes you open yourself up. Those goals are I'm less concerned about. It's the goal in the 83rd minute [on Saturday], the 2-1 goal that is more of a concern," said Donovan. "Those are the plays we have to be better at when you're pushing to tie a game. Sometimes you open yourselves up, and when you play a good team, they make you pay."
Landon Donovan's goal in the dying moments of the first half of the LA Galaxy's 3-1 loss to Real Salt Lake is up for Goal of the Week honors.
You can vote for Donovan's goal here and see the rest of the nominees below.
The MLS All-Star fan ballot was unveiled on Monday morning and while there were six members of the LA Galaxy were included on the list, the surprise was who wasn't included: LA midfielder Marcelo Sarvas.
Sarvas got the snub despite being considered by many in the local media-- including myself -- to be the club's MVP through the first third of the season. The Brazilian midfielder has notched a goal and a team-leading four assists, but he's been particularly efficient with his distribution as he has completed at least 80 percent of his passes in all but four of his 18 appearances across all competitions this season.
But where Sarvas has been particularly effective is on the defensive side of the ball. As he covers considerable ground throughout the midfield he has amassed a total of 114 recoveries, which puts him behind only Philadelphia's Brian Carroll, Montreal's Patrice Bernier and Real Salt Lake's Kyle Beckerman among midfielders, the latter two being included on the All-Star ballot. Sarvas' defensive abilities have gotten him into some trouble, however, as he currently leads the league with in fouls with 42 and has a total of five yellow cards - although one may be rescinded.
Although Sarvas was not selected to the fan ballot, Sarvas' All-Star dream is over, however, as he can still be selected by All-Star head coach Peter Vermes when he fills out the squad and MLS Commissioner Don Garber, who can make two Commissioner's selections.
Agree with my assessment of Sarvas as a snub? Think that Vermes or Garber should select him?
Share your thoughts below.
MLS launched launched fan voting and unveiled the ballots that will select the First XI for the 2013 MLS All-Star Game.
The LA Galaxy have six players on the ballot as goalkeeper Carlo Cuidicini, defenders Todd Dunivant and Omar Gonzalez, midfielder Juninho, and forwards Robbie Keane and Landon Donovan were selected. According to MLS, the 115 players on the All-Star ballot were nominated by a panel of more than 30 media members from across North America who cover MLS closely. Each of the 19 MLS clubs has at least six representatives on the ballot, as selected by the media panel.
Fans can vote online on MLSsoccer.com or by sending a player's last name via text message to 22442. Twitter voting will occur June 20-21.

The LA Galaxy returned to Southern California on Sunday morning following their 3-1 defeat to Real Salt Lake on Saturday.
Above is a shot that I snapped yesterday of the view of Salt Lake City from the Utah State Capitol building. From the view, you can see a monument to the famed Mormon Batalion, downtown Salt Lake City, the Salt Lake Temple, which is the largest temple in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and the Salt Lake City Union Pacific Depot.
While the Galaxy returned home to Southern California earlier this morning, Homegrown forward Jose Villarreal headed east as he departed the squad to join up with the U.S. Under-20 squad ahead of the U-20 World Cup in Turkey later this month.
SANDY, Utah— The LA Galaxy will be without the services of Marcelo Sarvas for their June 19 clash against the Portland Timbers due to yellow card accumulation. Or will they?
Sarvas earned a yellow card in 90th minute of LA's 3-1 loss to Real Salt Lake for a foul on Ned Grabavoy, which was his fifth of the season and means an automatic one game suspension. But after the match, LA head coach Bruce Arena had plenty of questions about whether or not the caution should have been called.
"We're asking the referee to reevaluate that play," Arena said. "I think that he missed that play, so hopefully, they'll have the intelligence to look at it and take away the card."
Following the match, Sarvas told reporters that he did not make contact with Grabavoy and was hopeful that any appeal logged by Arena would be successful.
"I didn't touch the guy. Everybody can see the replay. I told the referee that I didn't touch him and that it's my fifth yellow card, so don't do this because it's wrong and I didn't touch him," Sarvas said. "But we can not fight with the referee because they have the authority."
"I don't know if it's possible [to appeal], but if it is then we should do it because I didn't touch him," Sarvas added. "I'm going to miss the game for something that I didn't do so if we can [appeal] then we should."
Agree with Arena and Sarvas? Watch the foul below and let me know your opinion.
SANDY, UT -- Below are Bruce Arena's comments following the LA Galaxy's 3-1 defeat to Real Salt Lake
(On his general thoughts from the game...)
ARENA: "Close game. Give them credit. They got the goal at the end that made the difference."
(On the Galaxy conceding eight goals in two games...)
ARENA: "I don't think our defense was that bad tonight, but certainly the second goal was a factor, but the third goal you don't worry about since you're pushing to get a goal. The third goal, I'm not too concerned about."
(On his impression of Brian Rowe...)
ARENA: "He was okay, his inexperienced showed at times...it's only one game, we don't have a conclusion on his career at this point."
(On the week-long break that the Galaxy will get...)
ARENA: "Yeah, we've been traveling all over the place. It'll be good for our guys to get their legs back a bit."
(On Sarvas being suspended for the Portland game...)
ARENA: "We're asking the referee to re-evaluate that play. I think that he missed that play, so hopefully, they'll have the intelligence to look at it and take away the card."


text: Yes, the best thing is that they did not remove the FireGL pci ids, but Xserver 1.4 support is not really good. fglrxinfo still gets stuck as first command and compiz will not work there. My script is uptodate, but did not see much improvement. The bug fixed are not the ones I found before. gl2benchmark still segfaults with xserver 1.4 and x86_64.

Norwood Commercial Furniture's Cork Roll is made from all-natural cork, so you can feel good about your purchase. The 1/4-inch thickness absorbs extra noise, making it a great insulator and soundproofer. The self-healing cork roll can be cut into any shape and size, so it's perfect for refinishing old boards. Add a roller and adhesive to your order for easy assembly - available at an additional cost.
Please note: We don't recommend gluing cork directly to your walls. Corkboards typically have a fiberboard backing into which the pins actually stick. Pins don't stick very well in drywall and can ruin a wall pretty quickly. Your local home store can probably fix you up with the backing and adhesive you need to make a great corkboard.
We accept U.S. credit cards, checks and purchase orders. On phone orders, we also accept Canadian and Mexican credit cards.

Solo® Standard Backpack Sprayers . . . our #1 selling sprayers
Solo® backpack sprayers are designed so only chemical-resistant parts come in contact with the formula being sprayed. As a result, you'll have years of trouble-free spraying. Not recommended for use with abrasive sprays or wettable powders because these substances can score the piston and cylinder of the pump, causing leaks and lowering the life span of the sprayer. Maximum pressure of 90 p.s.i. can be reached by replacing the pressure control valve with an optional plug. Tanks are made of high-density, UV-stabilized polyethylene with high-impact strength and excellent resistance to chemicals and stress. Nylon web straps are padded at the shoulders. Pump handle is adjustable for left- or right-hand operation. Supplied with two spray nozzles which provide three different spray patterns. Flat spray nozzle is recommended for general area spraying. For spot spraying, the conical nozzle provides a cone-shaped spray when used with the swirl plate and a pin-stream spray without the swirl plate. Large 4" opening with strainer allows fast and safe fillings. Features a handy interlock device for continuous spraying. 4 gallon sprayer. Weighs 11 lbs. empty. USA made. View all sprayers

A bit dissapointed
By oldog
from Mentone, Ca.
See all my reviews
I bought this sparayer to replace my SP-2 that had a cracked tank. The SP models seem to be getting hard to come by so I tried this Solo model. It has good ratings but I am dissapointed it it's construction. No folding handle, straps are too narrow and lack sufficiant padding, filler cap is small and has no handle for lifting up the backpack, the wand is plastic as are the nozzels and the frame isn't heavy duty. I would only recomend this unit if it wasn't to be used often.

Solo 4 gal Backpack Sprayer
By visionatsea
from Williamsburg VA
About Me Avid Gardener
This is a must have tool for fighting lawn weeds such as bermuda weed requiring a complex herbicide mixture. The tank is well constructed and I have used it for two seasons with no deterioration in its performance. I do clean it after each application of a cocktail consisting of Turflon Ester, Acclaim and a sufactant (Dawn detergent). Cleaning is done by first washing out the tank with fresh water and then pumping about 2 gals of fresh water throughout the system.Two suggestions for SOLO: The straps used to hold the tank on one's back are not very secure and prone to detaching from the lower frame while mounting to ones back. Straps should be redesigned by SOLO. Most of the herbicides I use have mixing directions based on oz/1000 sq feet. It would be useful to know how many sq feet (on avg pressure) a 4 gal tank would cover.

straps weak both broke the second time
By Don Ehm
from Ankeny, Iowa
About Me Professional Landscaper
I bought this a month ago used 1 tank, brought out today to use for 3 1/2 tank fulls and had the snap break on one strap and the adjustment buckle break on the other strap. I was very diappointed as the one it replaced that I garage saled when I moved never gave me any trouble, I used it for many years.

Reliable Product
By BTF
from Saint Petersburg Florida
We get a lot of use out of these before we have to rebuild it. (easy to rebuild under 15 minutes)Should be cleaned if you let it set for any length of time.Might suggest replacing the plastic spray tip with a brass one.

Thank you Willie!
Haha!!! The 'w' theme of the setlist cracked me up so much!!! Being able to listen to this show was such a joy: I was Ecstatic to hear Even Better Than the Real Thing and Zooropa. That was THE BEST, and I sincerely hope that I will be lucky enough to hear these live myself in Montreal (X2), Toronto or Moncton, or all of the above haha!!
Ah, the countdown is SO on!!!!!

Another issue
Willie, Thank you for all information you give us.
I´d like to share my emotion with you, who is now so near from my favorite band since 25 years ago: april 13th was MY DAY, because before the show, Bono has listen to me and answered me putting his hand on my shoulder (I was one of the fans on hotel). My dream was to be near from him in the stage, but I got the "impossible": talk to him my feelings (congratulating him) and I had his attention. He looked at my eyes. I´m realized and this was the best thing in my life after my son´s birth. Please let him know that.
With best regards,
Carmen Zita Pinto Coelho (I´m in FB with all the photos). Thank you.

But what if a company (eg Broadcom) design a GPU where the GPU does nearly all the work (including GL), doesn't this necessarily imply that the ARM-side code is a thin shim?
Eben Upton stated quite clearly that this was the case in one of his comments on theraspberrypi.org where he said:
I'd really like some of the critics to engage with Eben's point, ideally without name calling. In this situation, it's clearly easier to release the ARM-side GPU driver, fewer IP issues for a start. This may explain why Broadcom were able to release this code at all, but that doesn't make it misleading to say that they've released the complete device driver!We happen to have a GPU which exposes a comparatively high level (GL-like) interface, such that many of our userland functions are message passing shims... These are design decisions on the part of the respective GPU teams, which have wide-ranging implications for the software and hardware structure of the devices which use the resulting cores. The VideoCore driver isnt structured this way to pull the wool over your eyes, its structured this way because of a genuine judgment that this is the best structure given the resources we have on the chip, which includes a vector DSP to which we can offload much of the low-level register access.
If you think it'll help, you can define the Broadcom GPU as a). a bizarre design or b). not a GPU at all, as some commenters seem to imply. I'm not sure how that helps the discussion?
The GPU exists, the Raspberry Pi team choose to use it, now they've persuaded Broadcom to open up the admittedly thinner-than-you-might-expect GPU driver. Useful? yes! Perfect? no. Misleading? no!
- Just my opinion; your mileage may vary.

Kennedy looking to get back on track against Phillies
D-backs right-hander seeks first win since Opening Day
On Monday, D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said that right-hander Ian Kennedy has "kind of gotten away from who he is."
Kennedy will look to rediscover that identity on Friday night, when the D-backs host the Phillies for the second meeting in a four-game series at Chase Field. He will go up against Philadelphia righty Tyler Cloyd, as Arizona goes for a 2-0 series advantage and its fifth straight victory overall.
Kennedy, who went 21-4 with a 2.88 ERA in 2011, is 1-3 with a 5.19 ERA in seven starts and hasn't won since Opening Day. He has walked at least three batters in four of his past five outings and allowed five runs in 5 2/3 innings against the Padres on Sunday.
The next day, Kennedy met with Gibson and general manager Kevin Towers about getting back to what made him successful in the past.
"In '11, he was best when he's got the good fastball location to both sides of the plate," Towers said. "[Sunday], he pitched more away and probably 50 percent of his pitches were off-speed pitches -- and you throw that many of them, they start sitting on it."
When Kennedy threw his bullpen session on Tuesday, he worked on refining his mechanics and eliminating some bad habits.
"There's no quick fix to anything," Kennedy said. "It's just about getting back to making sure all the little points are good throughout the bullpen and not getting lazy about it."
Cloyd, who is taking the injured Roy Halladay's rotation spot, will make his first big league start of the year. The 25-year-old must show he deserves to stay, with veteran John Lannan potentially returning from the disabled list within the next few weeks, among other options.
"It was an unfortunate situation, Doc's situation, having him going down and having surgery," Cloyd said. "For me, it's just obviously another opportunity to prove myself and hopefully have some success."
Cloyd was 1-3 with a 5.40 ERA in six starts at Triple-A Lehigh Valley but had held the opposition to four runs in 15 innings over his past two. In six starts for the Phillies a year ago, he went 2-2 with a 4.91 ERA, striking out 30 and walking seven in 33 innings.
Phillies: Delmon snaps skid
• Right fielder Delmon Young stopped an 0-for-11 stretch with a single in the first inning on Thursday and finished with his first multi-hit game since his season debut on April 30. Young still is 5-for-27 this season, with a double and a home run.
• In 23 games since April 16, the Phillies have scored 79 runs for an average of 3.4 per game. They have endured five shutouts in that span and pushed across just one run on Thursday.
• Even before Jimmy Rollins' 0-for-4 game on Thursday, Phillies leadoff hitters ranked 28th in the Majors with a .275 on-base percentage. Rollins and Ben Revere have combined for 35 of 36 starts in that spot.
D-backs: Goldschmidt always striving for more
• Before going 0-for-3 on Thursday, first baseman Paul Goldschmidt had equaled a club record with three consecutive three-RBI games, going 7-for-13 with four home runs. In only his second full big league season, the 25-year-old is hitting .313/.409/.578 with nine homers and 30 RBIs.
"Just developing as a player, understanding a lot and how to apply it," Gibson said. "Goldy is the type of guy that when you get him out, he tries to understand why. A lot of people have a comfort zone and stay close to it, but Goldy is very willing to expand that, and it shows up in his results."
Not only that, Goldschmidt has handled his rising stardom well.
"He's shy about success, but he can't help but smile though, he just doesn't want to show anybody up," Gibson said. "He's very appreciative and very humble. He's a great teammate and everybody looks up to him."
Worth noting
• No D-backs hitter has faced Cloyd.
• Kennedy owns a 2.42 ERA in four career outings against the Phillies.
• Charlie Manuel managed his 1,332nd game for the Phillies on Thursday, moving him into first place on the franchise's all-time list.

Media Ignores Union Violence: Flashback to Palin's 2008 'Target' Outrage
As unions again run amuck, this time in Michigan, the Old Media establishment has steadfastly refused to report on the union's violence, not to mention the "violent rhetoric" coming from their advocates. But this is in stark contrast to the Summer of 2011 when the Old Media was hot to condemn the supposed "violent rhetoric" of Republicans such as Sarah Palin, Andrew Breitbart, and talk radio hosts.
In Michigan this week unions have once again shown why the term "union thug" is no misnomer by beating up people and engaging in property destruction, intimidation, and violence all in order to turn back Michigan's right-to-work legislation passing through the state's duly elected legislature.
During the day on Monday union goons attacked a tent set up by members of Michigan's chapter of Americans for Prosperity. The tent was staffed with women and men, Michiganders who came out to support the Republican's effort to pass worker's rights legislation that would make The Wolverine State the 24th right-to-work state.
Also in attendance was occasional Fox News guest and comedian Steven Crowder. The young Crowder was actually physically attacked, punched at least four times, by one union criminal. Crowder's crime? He dared to ask unionistas the simple question: "what is it about right-to-work that you oppose so much?"
The union thugs then swarmed AFP's tent and tore it down with the women, and a few children, still inside.
This violence was chronicled by at least a half dozen videos all showing how the crowd of union goons surrounded the AFP tent, attacked Crowder and the others, and eventually destroyed the tent.
Yet, the Old Media is ignoring all this violence.
On top of the actual, hard violence perpetrated by those actually on the ground in Lansing, the State's capital, several high profile union supporters also indulged what the media once called "violent rhetoric" in support of the unions.
For instance, right on the floor of the State House, Michigan State Representative Douglas Geiss, a Democrat, threatened his fellow citizens with violence if the right-to-work legislation were to be passed. "There will be blood," Geiss screamed.
Teamsters President Jimmy Hoffa also went for the most violent of imagery. Hoffa threatened to start a "civil war" over the worker's rights legislation.
Also on Monday, Lansing Mayor Virg Bernero told a crowd gathered in his city that he was "proud" of the violence that the unions perpetrated.
By December 12, even democrat strategist Bob Beckel was not only justifying the violence of the unions but was advocating for more of it.
This is an awful lot of violent talk, is't it? But is there any condemnation for this rhetoric by the Old Media establishment?
You'll remember back in 2011 that the media lost its collective mind over the "violent rhetoric" of Sarah Palin and other conservatives in the run up to the 2012 election cycle. The media blamed the shooting of Rep. Gabby Giffords on Palin and conservatives because of croshairs images on electoral maps and other metaphors that could idiotically be termed "violent rhetoric."
But now that we have actual violence we get not a peep from the same Old Media that was once so worried about all that violent rhetoric in politics today.

Did Plato really kill Parmenides? In this seminar we will examine Plato's Metaphysics and its innovative feature with regard to the previous tradition, through a close reading of two dialogues: Parmenides and Sophist. We will focus on Plato's criticism of his own theory of Forms, on his attempt to solve its contradictions and on his elaboration of the dialectical method. We will discuss questions like unity and multiplicity, being and non-being, truth and untruth, trying to understand both Plato's method and the foundations of his metaphysical thought.

Blue Jays hope Dickey can get them on a roll
Twins tab righty Pelfrey to step in, halt six-game losing streak
With Toronto's talent starting to mesh, manager John Gibbons believes it's entirely possible for the Blue Jays to put together another winning streak.
The Blue Jays won 11 in a row in mid-June, and will look to make it two straight on Saturday after taking the series opener against Minnesota on Friday night. The Twins have now lost six in a row after being swept by the Yankees this week at Target Field.
"Eleven's a lot at this level, but we did it once," Gibbons said. "And we need to do it -- let's be realistic. Through that nice streak, they were all pitching well. That was the thing. Turn them over and they were all pitching well, giving us a shot, and that's what that takes. And you have some slugfests, so you have to swing it, too."
The Twins are kicking off a 10-game road trip after going 2-6 on their last homestand. With trips to Toronto, Tampa Bay and New York, things are not getting any easier. Minnesota already has a 6-12 record against the American League East this year.
"Before the homestead, our goal was to go and play well at home, and we started out OK against the Royals and then lost the last one, which was a tough one, and then the Yankees pretty much handed it to us," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "So that was really disappointing. So now we have to turn the page. This is a Toronto team that can really swing it. They hit balls all over the place. So we know we have to pitch well and the offense needs to start picking up these runs."
Minnesota is just 3-9 in its last 12 games at Rogers Centre, and has now dropped five straight in Toronto. The Twins' last win in Toronto came April 3, 2011, in the opening series of that season.
Knuckleballer R.A. Dickey gets the start on Saturday for the Blue Jays, while right-hander Mike Pelfrey will take the mound for Minnesota.
"These next nine games are very very important to us," said Gibbons, whose squad also has series against the Indians and Orioles before the All-Star Break. "I said [Thursday], we'll have a better idea where we're at, I would think, going into the All-Star Game. Going up against some pretty good teams and we're struggling lately. We definitely need to kick it in, that's for sure."
Blue Jays: Dickey heating up
Dickey has thrown quality starts in both of his last two outings, primarily because his velocity has been higher. His knuckleball is dancing in the 78-82-mph range, giving him better command of the strike zone.
He's 1-1 with a 6.14 ERA in his career against the Twins.
Twins: Pelfrey back, healthy
Pelfrey starts Saturday after being reinstated from the disabled list on Friday. He was out with a back strain and made one rehab start with Class A Cedar Rapids, where he allowed two runs on two hits over six innings.
"He went six innings and was planning on going just four innings to watch his pitch count, but the kids were just hacking," Gardenhire said. "But it was expected by me that they would be swinging."
Worth noting
• The Twins bullpen has posted an ERA of 2.46 (16 earned runs in 58 1/3 innings) over its last 17 road games, dating back to May 24.
• The Blue Jays are 9-11 against the AL Central this year and 5-7 at home.

Whitney: clear for signage, compact for print.
A type family originally developed for New York's Whitney Museum, Whitney contends with two different sets of demands: those of editorial typography, and those of public signage.
Typefaces for catalogs and brochures need to be narrow enough to work in crowded environments, yet energetic enough to encourage extended reading. But typefaces designed for wayfinding programs need to be open enough to be legible at a distance, and sturdy enough to withstand a variety of fabrication techniques: fonts destined for signage need to anticipate being cast in bronze, etched in glass, cut in vinyl, and rendered in pixels.
While American "gothics" such as News Gothic (1908) have long been a mainstay of editorial settings, and European "humanists" such as Frutiger (1975) have excelled in signage applications, Whitney bridges this divide in a single design. Its compact forms and broad x-height use space efficiently, and its ample counters and open shapes make it clear under any circumstances.
New: Whitney Greek, Cyrillic, and Multiscript
In addition to economy and clarity, Whitney addresses a third challenge: internationalization. Having outfitted the design with our Latin-X™ character set, which serves 1.4 billion speakers of more than 140 languages, Hoefler & Co. embarked on two major expansions of the character set into the Greek and Cyrillic alphabets. The development of Whitney Cyrillic began in 2005, with a year-long research project to survey the effects of language, culture, politics, and technology upon Cyrillic typography. Beyond including the characters needed to render the six most widely supported Balto-Slavic languages (Russian, Ukrainian, Serbian, Belarusan, Bulgarian and Macedonian), a primary goal of the project was to reach large populations that remain underserved by high-quality digital fonts. The resulting design, which uses our new Cyrillic-X™ specification, is capable of representing 59 languages from the Slavic, Baltic, Turkic, Uralic, Tungusic, Caucasian, and Mongolic language families. Together with Whitney Greek, which serves thirteen million speakers throughout Greece and the Balkan Peninsula, these new fonts represent the primary languages of an additional 280 million people worldwide.
The Basic, Advanced, and Pro editions of Whitney are each available with the Latin, Greek, or Cyrillic character set. For designers whose projects have an international scope — such as those needing all three official scripts of the European Union (Latin, Greek, and Bulgarian Cyrillic) — the Whitney Multiscript package integrates all three character sets into a single set of designs, and is available for less than half the cost of buying all three fonts individually.

Article | Management Science | February 2014 Governance and CEO Turnover: Do Something or Do the Right Thing? Ray Fisman, Rakesh Khurana, Matthew Rhodes-Kropf and Soojin Yim We study how corporate governance affects firm value through the decision of whether to fire or retain the CEO. We present a model in which weak governance—which prevents shareholders from controlling the board—protects inferior CEOs from dismissal, while at the same time insulates the board from pressures by biased or uninformed shareholders. Whether stronger governance improves retain/replace decisions depends on which of these effects dominates. We use our theoretical framework to assess the effect of governance on the quality of firing and hiring decisions using data on the CEO dismissals of large U.S. corporations during 1994–2007. Our findings are most consistent with a beneficent effect of weak governance on CEO dismissal decisions, suggesting that insulation from shareholder pressure may allow for better long-term decision making.

REVIEW: Host
Something for those going through "Twilight" withdrawal: from the woman who created "Twilight" , Stephanie Myer offers , here's another cross-species love story. Hey, it worked the first time. No vampires and werewolves this time. No, now it's humans and aliens. Aliens have taken over earth in an invasion-of-the-bodysnatchers way: they take over human bodies and wipe out their memories. The tell-tale sign: eyes that kinds look like the piercing blues of Siberian Huskies.
Some defiant humans are still on the run. One of them, Megan (Saorise Ronan) is so resistant, when her body is taken over, her human spirit remains trapped inside. So you basically have two people inhabiting the same body, constantly arguing with each other. It really gets ridiculous when the alien Wanda and human Megan fall for 2 different guys, who end up kissing them in quick succession. Now that's a threesome!! But hey- this is a Stephanie Meyer creation, so what do you expect??
William Hurt stars as the leader of the human rebels. Diane Kruger co-stars as the leaders of the seekers, the aliens who hunt down resistant humans. Max Irons (son of the great Jeremy Irons) is the human in love with the trapped-in-the-alien Megan.
The concept works but more is less in this case. 2 hours???!!! It's a half hour too long. But I'm sure the "Twilight" crowd won't complain!

"Pounding the ground" doesn't sound right for me.
At the same time, I think better posture comes with stronger muscles. As a new runner, your body is not geared for running. Through training, your running muscles (and that include the tiny stabilizing muscles) get stronger and you improve on your posture.
