This is good but, when will wayland will full suport OpenGL so we can use it in he future?
Phoronix: ETC2 Texture Compression Looks Good For OpenGL
With OpenGL ES 3.0 and OpenGL 4.3 there is now mandatory texture compression support in the form of ETC2, the Ericsson Texture Compression method...
This is good but, when will wayland will full suport OpenGL so we can use it in he future?
Any statement yet from the big three on when we can expect this on desktop gpus, in hardware? Bridgman?
So how well does ETC2 stack up with ASTC? Seems we now have several texture compression alternatives to S3TC, what would be the best for games performance and memorywise?
I'm sure that the major GPU makers (Intel, AMD and nVidia) will have their implementations and would be good to see the feedback from their respective devs. Hopefully we'll see benchmarks on all these compression methods soon
Last edited by DeepDayze; 08-12-2012 at 05:31 PM.
interesting reading, i would like to know if Sandy/Ivy Bridge will support it soon?
To be fair, we have a few years at least for these to mature and get various improvements and optimizations in hardware and encoders. You can't ship a game using either of these today. Or next year. Or even three years from now. Far too few users would have hardware that supports the features. (drivers might support them, but if they're not hardware supported, we won't care.)
It's a lot like SSE, where SSE3/4 are only just recently becoming feasible to use in a game. It wasn't that long ago that even SSE2 was just a theoretical optimization despite having been in shipping hardware for years. It's a bit easier with code since the binaries are small and you can just ship several versions of the compiled game (Crysis did this, for instance), but for content you'd be duplicating potentially gigabytes of data for each compression algorithm or hardware feature set.
The Steam hardware survey is really useful to figure out things like this. You can see that some 99% of Steam users have SSE2 now and over 98% have SSE3 and there's no reason not to use them anymore, but only 50% have SSE4 so it's still a no-go (and it added the dot-product operator, dammit... soon). You can see that WinXP is under 15% of users (and see that most of those have older hardware), and hence D3D10/11 are finally viable to use as your sole graphics API for high-sales-volume games. You can see that less than 7% have single-core CPUs, and only 50% of people are still using dual-core CPUs, so you can plan to require threaded engines today and prepare for requiring 4+ cores in the near future. You can see that there are still almost 30% of users with 512MB or less of video ram, so keeping low-quality (and highly compressed) textures is still a must for a little while longer. You can see that 50% still have less than 4GB of RAM and wonder why nobody is telling everyone that RAM is practically free right now. You can see that OS X usage for Steam users is still hovering at 5%, which is higher than some people expect, lower than many people hope, and can be extrapolated to what Linux might look like.
You can also look at GPUs, see rate of uptake, and figure out what GPU features you can rely on. After ASTC support actually arrives in real hardware, you can track how long it takes for a significant-enough portion of the market to have hardware supporting, and when you can start using it in shipping titles.

Saturday, April 27, 2013 - Bronxville, N.Y.
Two wins in an afternoon is not something new to the Wilmington University softball team, but Saturday's doubleheader sweep over Concordia, 6-1 and 6-0, meant much more to the 2013 season and the program as a whole, as records fell and the team solidified its playoff position on a historic day at Clipper Softball Field.
A pair of win records fell for the Wildcats (32-19, 19-7 CACC), as they set new marks for overall wins in a season and Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference wins. The 2007 team went 31-15 overall while team reset a fresh CACC wins record mark set by last year's team of 18-8.
The two wins also solidified the team's position in next weekend's CACC Tournament, locking the Wildcats into the third seed and matching them with the highest seed ever entering the tournament. The 2007 squad was also the No. 3 seed in the CACC Tournament.
As for Saturday's games, Katie Warrington capped the 2013 regular season with a large bang, tossing a complete game no-hitter in game two, striking out 11 more batters and improving to 16-4 on the season. The senior only allowed one walk for the game while two hitters reached base via an error. It is the second no-hitter of her career, as she also tossed a no-no against Holy Family last season.
Fellow senior Jillian Stafford was just as good from inside the circle in the day's first game, enabling the team to go for the sweep and lock into the No. 3 seed for the tournament. Stafford went the distance while only allowing five hits, striking out two and giving up one run. She also helped herself out in the batter's box, going 2-for-4 with a triple and three RBI's. Stafford is now 5-3 as a pitcher on the year.
The offense got right to it in the first game, scoring a run in the top of the first and adding single runs in each of the next two innings as well. An RBI groundout by Stafford scored Cambria Ziemba for the game's first run. After singling to lead off the second, Brooke Berger scored on a wild pitch for a 2-0 lead. A two-out Stafford RBI single in the third scored Headley to put the Wildcats ahead 3-1, more than enough run support for Stafford in the circle.
After wedging herself out of a bases loaded jam in the second with only giving up one run, Stafford didn't face any real harm until the Clippers (10-25, 9-17 CACC) got a two out rally going in to the sixth. With runners on second and third, Stafford induced a ground back to the circle for the third out of the inning, escaping without any damage.
Rachel Painter led off the sixth with a solo shot down the left field line before two more runs came across in the seventh. Stafford tripled home Headley before Skye Boris hit a sacrifice fly for the final run of the game.
The second game was the Warrington show, with the offense again striking early to give the senior a cushion from the rubber. With two outs in the first, Stafford doubled home Brook Ash from second for the game's first run, the only run Warrington would need the rest of the way.
Warrington struck out the side in the bottom of the first, foreshadowing how the rest of the game would go for the Clipper batters. She struck out two more in the second and again took three strikeouts in the third.
The game's third batter reached on an error and the Clippers didn't have another base runner until the sixth inning. With two outs, the Clippers again reached on an error but the runner was left stranded at second at the end of the inning.
The Wildcat bats broke out in the seventh with four runs, two of which came on a Stafford double to left center. With the 6-0 lead, Warrington came out and shut down the Clippers in final inning, allowing a walk but getting the final out on a grounder to Headley at short.
Wilmington moved ahead of USciences with the two wins, as both the Wildcats and Devils were 17-7 coming into today. The Devils ran into a buzz saw at Caldwell, dropping both games. USciences, Holy Family and Georgian Court all finished CACC play with a 17-9 record. Georgian Court takes the No. 4 seed with its sweeps of both teams while USciences earns the No. 5 seed after splitting with Dominican. Holy Family falls to No. 6 with the split of USciences and falling both times to Dominican (the No. 1 seed).
With the tiebreakers settled, No. 3 Wilmington will square off against No. 6 Holy family in the first round of the CACC Tournament on Thursday, May 2. The teams with begin play in the second set of games on Thursday, with the first pitch slated to begin at 12 noon. The CACC Tournament is being hosted by Georgian Court University in Lakewood, N.J.

The Justice League is the greatest force for good the world has ever seen. But not everyone sees them that way.
Their never-ending battle against evil results in casualties beyond its super-powered, costumed combatants. The Leagues attempts to safeguard innocent lives cannot save everybody. Unbeknownst to Earths greatest champions, their greatest triumph may contain the seeds of their greatest defeat.
For heroes are not the only people who face tragedy and are reborn as something greater than they were before. Villains can take this journey, too.
And once they start out on this dark path, the road could lead straight to the destruction of the Justice League
The New York Times bestselling team of Geoff Johns (Green Lantern) and Jim Lee (Batman: Hush) are joined by artists Gene Ha (Top 10) and Carlos D'Anda (Deathblow) for JUSTICE LEAGUE VOL. 2: THE VILLAIN'S JOURNEY, collecting issues #7-12 of the series. Can the worlds greatest super heroes survive a voyage deep into the heart of darkness? It all ends with one of the most shocking
and surprising moments in DC history!
Geoff Johns is an award-winning writer and one of the most popular contemporary comic book writers today. Johns is the author of The New York Times bestselling graphic novels Aquaman: The Trench, Blackest Night, Green Lantern: Sinestro Corps War, Justice League: Origin, Superman: Brainiac and Batman: Earth One which hit #1 on the bestseller list. He is also known for transforming Green Lantern into one of the most critically and commercially successful franchises in comics.
Johns was born in Detroit and studied media arts, screenwriting, and film at Michigan State University. After moving to Los Angeles, he became an assistant to Richard Donner, director of Superman: The Movie. He and his mentor Donner later co-wrote Superman: Last Son featuring the return of General Zod.
Johns has written for various other media, including episodes of Smallville, Arrow and Adult Swims Robot Chicken, for which he was nominated along with his co-writers for an Emmy. He is the Chief Creative Officer of DC Entertainment and resides in Los Angeles, California.

Felix, Weaver set to duel in Seattle
It's been a bizarre few games for the Mariners. While their bats have been heating up, it hasn't translated to many wins.
Seattle has scored 38 runs in its past five games, but has gone just 2-3.
"Obviously we've struggled from a pitching standpoint, but you've got to be really encouraged by our offense, that's the positive I take from it," Mariners manager Eric Wedge said. "Now it's just a matter of putting them both together: the pitching and the offense."
The team did that in an 8-3 win against the Angels on Friday night, with Joe Saunders tossing seven innings and allowing no runs for the win. Right-hander Felix Hernandez will look to follow suit in Saturday night's game against the Angels at Safeco Field.
Leading the American League with a 2.70 ERA, Hernandez last lost on May 25, a span of eight starts. He's also tossed seven innings and allowed only two runs in his last three starts.
With Jered Weaver set to take the hill for the Angels, Saturday's contest should be quite the matchup of aces.
The right-hander has posted back-to-back wins in July, most recently tossing 6 2/3 innings and allowing just five hits against the Red Sox on Sunday.
Pitching incredibly well in the month throughout his career, Weaver is 13-1 in July since 2011.
"By July, it's midseason, so usually your body is physically at its peak for a season," Weaver said. "You're strong, you've got some innings under your arm, and you're probably in a good rhythm. It's not like I'm not trying to do all those things in every month, but midseason is definitely a time to be in peak condition."
Angels: Injured pitchers progressing
Manager Mike Scioscia reported plenty of progress for injured Angels pitchers before Friday's game against the Mariners.
Starter Tommy Hanson, who has been on the disabled list with a right forearm strain since June 27, is scheduled to throw a simulated game on Saturday. Scioscia said he would throw somewhere around 30 or 35 pitches.
Starter Jason Vargas, who is recovering from a blood clot in his left armpit area, is starting to play catch in Arizona this week.
Reliever Sean Burnett (left elbow impingement) has been throwing up to about 90 feet, Scioscia said, but is not ready to throw off a mound.
Mariners: Ibanez nominated for Branch Rickey award
Outfielder Raul Ibanez was nominated for the Branch Rickey Award on Friday. It recognizes a Major League Baseball player, manager, coach or executive for "contributions to the community or their status as a role model."
He has co-chaired the Mariners Care Cystic Fibrosis Golf Tournament six times, raising over $1.76 million to combat the illness. He has also served as the spokesperson for the Mariners Refuse to Abuse program, which seeks to curb domestic violence.
Ibanez has also supported local charities such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Page Ahead Children's Literacy Program and Boys and Girls Clubs.
• Second baseman Nick Franklin was out of the lineup for the second consecutive night on Friday, nursing a sore right knee. Wedge said that the situation wasn't serious.
Worth noting

Keep reading to see how the neckerchief is being addressed both on the runways and in real life too. 2 of 20 PHOTO: INF Photo Nicole RichieThanks to the addition of her graphic-print handkerchief, Richie looked very much the part of a Parisian jetsetter while arriving in Saint Tropez late last month.

The Mammoth Track Club just keeps clicking along.
Jennifer Rhines won the the U.S. half-marathon championship Saturday in Houston, finishing with a personal-best 1 hour, 11 minutes, 14 seconds.
"You always have to be happy when you run a PR [personal record]," Rhines said. "You never know when you're going to have ups and downs. I'm just going to enjoy this today."
Meanwhile, Patrick Smyth, also representing the Mammoth Track Club, finished third in the men's division, behind former Mammoth Track Club member Ryan Hall.
Mammoth skier John Teller only needed an inch or two to win a gold medal in Ski Cross at the X-Games Sunday in Aspen, but he had the speed and he had the inch.
Teller, who has two World Cup podium finishes, including a gold medal in St. Johann, Austria on January 7, narrowly edged out Chris Del Bosco, who led the majority of the race.
TransworldWorld SNOWboarding loves John Jackson.
One of the leading voices in the sport gave the Crowley Lake resident its Rider of the Year award, along with the Men's Video Part of the Year.
It was the second straight year the magazine gave him the two awards, making him a downright celebrity, if he wasn't already.
The awards were announced last Friday at the 2011 TransWorld SNOWboarding Poll Award show in Denver.
In another era, Jackson might have wanted to call home to tell the news to his mom, Shirley, and track down brother Eric, too.
Town Manager Rob Clark rode into town on the wings of prosperity, when Mammoth was on the rise and could do no wrong.
Six years later, he rides into Ojai, under the shadow of the recession, when Mammoth is on the fade and can't seem to shake out of it.
From Clark's point of view, there were significant victories in his years here, and also defeats.
"I think getting our air service going in the middle of the recession was rewarding, and I'm proud of the staff. They have kept thing going in spite of these different things.
Mammoth Nordic, which since 2002 has groomed its way into the winter experience here, has now announced it is grooming its way back out.
Its leader, Brian Knox, released the news last Friday, writing in an e-mail,
"Regrettably, our club's passion, funding, equipment and manpower over the last three years has not created a compelling enough case for community Nordic recreation in the eyes of town government."
Knox's announcement immediately sent the town's recreation department into a scramble.
Short clips about what's happening in our mountain aerie.
It's always a high adrenaline day when the Race Department runs a Village Championships Super G race. And so it was this Tuesday. The snow was hard and fast, and Jimmy Morning was going for it when he caught an edge on Terry's Run, tumbled and fell, bounced and was knocked out cold. After a night in the hospital, he was released, with orders not to ski for two weeks. Concussion. Nothing broken. ...
We knew we had a problem.
We just didn't know how far Mammoth has to go in building trust between the Hispanic population and the Mammoth Lakes Police Department.
Let's just say it's a very long way.
In a presentation Tuesday in front of the Mammoth Lakes Police-Community Hispanic Advisory Committee, Village Lodge manager Luis Villanueva came back with some disturbing news.
"As hard as it comes."
That's what the man in charge of Digital 395 said about the rush to get the massive project completed by its July 2013 deadline.
Not an easy feat – laying 583 miles of spun glass high speed optical cable from Barstow to Reno.
"If we don't get it done by July 1, 2013, the money goes away," said Michael Ort, CEO of Praxis Associates and the original mind behind the $101 million Digital 395 project that is right now under way out your back door.
As the federal government eyeballs even the military as a place to cut costs, some locals wondered if cuts might hit the Bridgeport area Marine Corps Mountain Warfare Training Center.
Probably not, said Rian Gamble, community outreach for the center.
"We are training Marines at full capacity, with some 16,000 to 17,000 a year coming through, doing everything from mountain medicine training to high altitude training, and more," he said.
A decision on whether and where snowmobiles can cross the Pacific Crest Trail near Sonora Pass might not be made this year, according to Mike Crawley, Bridgeport District Ranger for the Humboldt Toiyabe National Forest.
The decision, part of a winter recreation plan that aims to increase the economic diversity for northern Mono County, was due out by Crawley early this year.
The third time is not the charm.
Despite reports from AT&T that the technical cell service problems were fixed in the Tri-Valley area last week, Mono County supervisor Hap Hazard said they have not been fixed.
In fact, Chalfant still has no service, at least from the northern border of White Mountain Estates north, he said, although Benton now apparently, finally has at least better and more consistent service.
In the little town where I come from, we took Groundhog Day seriously.
It was entirely frivolous and silly, and mostly it was a Shirk thing, but it eventually grew into a town thing. The town is Oelwein, Iowa. It is a burg of about 7,000 souls, situated in the northern part of the state.
There is nothing to stop the brutal arctic wind that howls down from Canada. By Feb. 2, we all needed a break and at least a good laugh, if not a trip to the Caribbean.
Elizabeth Tenney has a new volunteer project up her sleeve.
Having steered the town's lighting policy into an ordinance, and having succeeded in flowering a park next to the town's Post Office, she now wants to build a "Gateway Monument" on the left side of S.R. 203 at the entrance to town.
The project, which is to be funded by private donations and donations-in-kind, would be constructed directly across the highway from the current "Mammoth Lakes" structure that has the emblems of the various service clubs below.
The two structures thus would form a "Gateway" to the town.
When it rises swift and cold on Wednesday, Feb. 2, the sun will mark the one day of the year exactly halfway between the past Winter Solstice and the March 20 Spring Equinox.
This day really has nothing to do with groundhogs at all, although Americans celebrate the day, if they think of it at all, as Groundhog Day.
Rather, it's the Old World's celebration of the return of the spring.
Candlemas, "Mass of the Candles," the return of the light, a day once welcomed with a thousand candles, a thousand prayers and thanksgivings.
On Mammoth Mountain, where great skiing at all levels is bountiful, only a few can be classified as iconic.
The runs might include Broadway, or Dave's Run, or St. Anton.
Perhaps the most iconic run, though, is Climax, the aptly named bowl just to skier's left of the Upper Gondola at 11,053 feet.
It is a wide-open double-black, although by the time spring comes and the bowl is filled in, a skier could probably move that rating back to a single black diamond.
Getting there is easy.

First Look & Excerpt: The End by Anders Nilsen | |
Written by Mike Baehr | Filed under previews, Coming Attractions, Anders Nilsen | 9 Apr 2013 1:51 PM |
Anders Nilsen is a unique and fearless cartoonist: on one hand, he's an innovative and boundary-expanding experimenter with the comics form; on the other, his emotional and philosophical explorations of being human are deeply felt and enormously powerful. No work of his better exemplifies these qualities than The End. Produced in the aftermath of a devastating personal loss several years ago, The End is a wrenching, sometimes abstract, sometimes angry, sometimes bitterly funny meditation on grief, loss, mortality, and hope.
For this new hardcover edition, due out late next month, the original 32-page comic from 2007 has been expanded to 80 pages, including new full-color work. Read an 11-page excerpt, and pre-order a copy right here.

It appears that there will be a Linux version. I suppose if the developer they have porting the games doesn't work out it could fall through. Even then, they may find someone else to do it in that case.The Mac / Linux ports also suffered badly. They received a lot of votes for being extremely important and a lot of votes for being very unimportant, but not a great deal in-between. This is not entirely surprising – you either use Linux / a Mac, or you don't.
Nevertheless, the level of interest suggests it would be worth porting it anyway. If the porter we are talking to is able to deliver the ports for the price we've just agreed, it should be worthwhile from our point of view.
These two items have therefore been taken out of the stretch goals.

The Hōzuki clan (鬼灯一族, Hōzuki Ichizoku) is a group of ninja that originated from Kirigakure with the ability to turn their bodies into liquified form.
The members of this clan possess the ability to turn their bodies into liquid form using the Hydrification Technique. This ability however seems to require that they stay hydrated at all times and as such at least two known members are known to carry water bottles around with them.[1][2] Mangetsu and Suigetsu are very gifted swordsmen, and are known as the Second Coming of the Demon. It has also produced the Second Mizukage.
- Hōzuki (鬼灯, Literally meaning: demon lantern) is the Japanese word for the "chinese lantern" or "winter cherry", a fruit which resembles Chinese paper lanterns. Like most surnames of members of the Seven Swordsmen of the Mist, it is based on a type of produce.

Great Cards!

Comments about idville 30 mil Plastic Card w/ Hi-Co Magnetic Stripe:
These Cards Look Great, And Are Easy To Work With!
Its a good product
By Lori the Falcon

This product is used as both ID and access.
By GeoAg Solutions
from Florida
Best Uses
We use these cards out in the field with our time keeping/payroll data collection system for farm workers-HarvestPay. The cards are exposed to a very rugged environment and hold up extremely well.Also provided a few cards to a local restaurant that was having problems w their cheap ID cards to test...these things get swiped hundreds of times per day...holding up very well in that application as well. The only complaint is that occasionally you run across a bad mag stripe (1 maybe 2 out of 500) that isn't applied properly to the card. Not really a huge problem unless you are running hundreds of cards and happen to miss the bad one.

The Fight for Better Experiences

In the fight for better experiences, are you winning or losing?

- Eric Reiss, CEO, The FatDUX Group
- Rob Fay, UX Architect, Blackboard, Inc.
- Dana Chisnell, Usability Works
- Jeff Gothelf, Director of UX, TheLadders.com
- Kevin M. Hoffman, Experience Director, Happy Cog
- Samantha Starmer, Experience Manager

- Leanna Gingras, User Research Coordinator, Ithaka
- Louis Rosenfeld, Rosenfeld Media
- In the fight for better user experiences, I'm losing every battle on the way to winning the war—which is kind of how George Washington did it, if you look at history. It's not a matter of winning battles, it's a matter of persistence, it's a matter of pushing forward because you know it's the right thing to do, and eventually there's enough of us that things will start changing. They have. User experiences are dramatically better than they were even five years ago. I also think there's a changing of the guard that has to happen. The people who are doing design now, who are coming up, who are in their twenties, they have such a high level of interdisciplinary digital literacy and design literacy that people like me—I'm in my mid forties—I just can't believe it. They're the ones that Jared Spool is calling for, the ones who can do things like design and code, the ones that can create art and yet do user studies. They're unbelievable. They just synthesize this stuff without thinking about it. They're not laden down by the disciplinary blinders that a lot of us were inculcated with in grad school when we were told, "You've got to take these courses in this program, and then you've got to join this professional association and go to those conferences, and work in certain companies doing a certain type of job, and don't ever go to another conference, and don't ever look into another field. Why would you do that?" A lot of us are still trying to overcome that. But meanwhile there's this whole new group of people. They're not spoiled by that parochialism that many of us were encountering in places like grad school. So, just for that reason, when people like me die out things are going to get a lot better. I'm excited.
- Eric Reiss, CEO, The FatDUX Group
- Well, I think we're winning, definitely. If I look back, say, ten years, we're still making lots of mistakes but we're making different mistakes. So there are some best practices, there are more case stories, there's a better body of knowledge within the community. Certainly blogging has helped tremendously. And what I like about the user experience community is its spirit of openness. We're still a young, very pioneering community and we do share. And I like the fact that so many of us use the word "community" rather than "tribe." "Tribe," I find a very dangerous word because it's exclusive. Tribes combat each other. Tribes keep other people out. Whereas communities are welcoming. I think that the UX community is truly a community, and I'm hoping that as we mature, that we're still able to share information as freely as we do now.
- Rob Fay, UX Architect, Blackboard, Inc.
- I'm optimistic—I would say winning. It's not without challenge, but I feel that I'm a change agent where I am. And that's not to say that folks don't care about the user experience, but I feel that certainly working within an organization is a great opportunity to make other people focus on what's really important.
- Dana Chisnell, Usability Works
- Oh, I feel like I'm definitely winning. My big area of work the last few years—actually, the last six or eight years—the thing I'm passionate about is civic design, especially related to voting and elections. And in the beginning, when there was a lot of really basic applied research going on and best practices were just coming out and guidelines were only just then being articulated, it seemed like a slow, hard slog with very disparate constituencies and uninformed and uneducated customers. But that is starting to change and now, about six years later, those things are making it out to the field where people are actually using them and finding them useful and valuable. And that's really exciting.
- Jeff Gothelf, Director of UX, TheLadders.com
- I'm absolutely winning in the fight for better experiences, both through simply becoming a better designer year over year, but also through better processes and working more collaboratively with developers and product managers and business owners to solve problems together so that we all have a stake in the final solution.
- Kevin M. Hoffman, Experience Director, Happy Cog
- I think we're winning in the fight for better experiences, but I think that the larger or more complex the organization we're trying to design something for, the more time and money it takes to win that.
- Samantha Starmer, Experience Manager
- I think winning, right now. We've been able to make a lot of progress at REI to improve the experience. And it's certainly not me; there are a lot of people that came ahead of me, some of whom aren't even there anymore but who laid the groundwork. But absolutely I feel like every single day there's improvements not only to the experience but to how people are thinking about customer and user experience so that more and more people are making it important.
- Stephen P. Anderson, Independent Consultant & Creator of Mental Notes
- Winning, of course! I think we all are. I think people are hungry to make things better. There are limits to incremental improvements, and people are seeing successful companies that are succeeding because of better customer experiences. So I think we're all winning.
- Kim Bieler, Apt Media
- If you're fighting for better experiences, you're always going to win. As long as we're always trying to explain, and show people, and show clients, and talk about it, people are picking up on this stuff bit by bit. But I don't think that it's something that happens overnight; it's definitely a gradual process. A lot of times what I see is, in a project, if we show a lot of concepts and one of them is a cutting-edge concept and the other is more middle of the road, like a safer concept, a lot of times they'll go for the safer concept. But then you've shown them something that's going to push the envelope a little bit, and a lot of times what happens is if we have an engagement with a client, the next time they come around, they say, "Remember that thing you did? We didn't pick it last time, but we want something like that." So you're really pushing the envelope all the time and you're educating clients, and I think that it does pay off over time. And even if they don't work with me next time, they're going to somebody else and saying, "We saw this thing, and it was really cool. We want something like that."
- Justin Davis, Founder, Madera Labs
- Depends on the project and the client. I think largely winning. Sometimes there are small losses in the great war of experience design. But I think just having the conversation with people, bringing up the language, talking to clients about this, showing them the process, all of that I think are wins because it just makes what we do more visible and it makes it more worthwhile to those people. So I think winning overall, despite what it feels like on some days.
- Richard Dalton, Manager of IA, Vanguard
- I'd say it's a draw. No, I think we're winning. I think we're continually improving the experiences that we work on.
- Beth Koloski, Lead Experience Architect, EffectiveUI
- Winning at a glacial pace—how about that? Winning, but not as quickly as I'd like… I think.
- Adrian Iacomi, Information Designer
- I think it's not relevant if you're winning or if you're losing. It's important if you keep on going because even if you lose you learn something, and in the end hopefully you will win.
- Olga Howard, UX Olga Howard, UX Lead, ThreePillarGlobal.com / PointAbout.com
- I would say that as an industry we're winning, definitely. The fact that everyone at my company, at Three Pillar Global, understands the importance of user experience is a very big difference from just a few years ago when I had to sell it internally.
- Leanna Gingras, User Research Coordinator, Ithaka
- I think personally I lose a lot of battles but on the whole I think I'm winning the war. I think the big problem is that user experience is so new and business processes are not very set up for it. And so I might lose some battles because I go in not really knowing how exactly to go up against business processes, but I always go into the next battle better informed. And I think that each battle that I win helps stem the tide of overall business thinking and higher-up stakeholders toward user experience.

We are winning and people are seeing successful companies that are succeeding because of better customer experiences. So I think we're all winning.
Hello Guys,
I am not too experienced in UX, but I would like to put thoughts.
how do you decide you had more great experience in a fight.
2 ways:
1. you fighting one on one with no one around.
2. you fighting in mid of crowd(spectators).
how will you measure
a. your experience was better winning first fight.
b. your experience was more good you just defeated to whom you lost last time.
for me winning experience will be different you defeated a for example NADAL tennis player in video game on second you go to beat him in court.
for me experience will contribute 2 left out things
his earlier experience which might be or not.
and where he is fighting.
winning is a state;
adding to winning state:
experience is the time you struggle;
and if you struggle hard and win
if you defeat some one who defeated you in last match.
if you win in front of crowd who acknowledges it , we feel more good.
well to answer core part:
on first punch i will come to know what i have to do to make it pleasant experience.
The pomposity of these questions increases exponentially. As if UX'ers are altruistic market/business reformers who will magically save the world from greed, ignorance and selfishness. Such naive, hippy drivel tends to mask a deep superiority complex. Seek help UXMAG.
I would ask us all to define the word 'better' please.
I think the war and the battle — whatever you call it — if its still a war at all — still means we're losing. Only when organizations start to solidly, smoothly embrace user-centered design processes with an open heart and mind will we find ourselves in a respected, professional field of work. Anything prior to that is an indication that only a minority of people 'out there' even begin to get it. And those people are the ones that probably drive the process like Nazis — only rigorously interested in the process to help prove their own egomaniacally-driven interaction ideas and visual design concepts.
Let's talk about 'better' first though.

Team: Richard Petty Motorsports
WHERE HE STANDS: 22nd, 95 points out of the top 10, only two points out of the top 20.
ATLANTA RECORD: One top-10 finish in seven starts.
LOOKING AHEAD: Ambrose is quick to point out "We have really been on a roll lately. We have been fast all season, but now, we are getting the finishes we deserve. The last few weeks, we may not have had the best car, but Drew (Blickensderfer, crew chief) and the team made the right calls to get us there at the end. We have been good at the intermediate tracks since the middle of the season and should unload quick this weekend."
LOOKING BACK: Ambrose was all smiles after finishing eighth at Bristol. "That's two top-10s in two weeks," said Ambrose. "We had a good few weeks here and I've just got to thank everyone at Richard Petty Motorsports for giving me the opportunity to run like that. We didn't start off great tonight and we didn't finish great handling wise, but we fought hard all night and got some track position at the end that really helped a lot."
ETC.: Both Ambrose and Blickensderfer feel the recent Chicago test will boost the team's chances this weekend in Atlanta. "We're learning more about this car," said Ambrose. "So hopefully we can get us a third straight top-10 and maybe even a win." Adds Blickensderfer, "Our test at Chicago allowed us to try out some new things."
17 RICKY STENHOUSE JR., Ford
Team: Roush Fenway Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 23rd, 103 points out of the top 10, 10 points out of the top 20. Lost two spots last week.
ATLANTA RECORD: Will be making his Sprint Cup debut. Won the Nationwide race last year after finishing third in 2011.
LOOKING AHEAD: Stenhouse said, "Atlanta is one of my favorite tracks on the circuit. It's an older track that is rough but fast. The rough tracks suit my driving style because of my dirt racing background. Our 17 team is getting better every week and I believe that we will get our first top-10 soon. I feel confident that we will have a strong run in our Best Buy Ford this weekend."
LOOKING BACK: Stenhouse was forced to pit for fuel with two laps remaining as he finished 18th at Bristol. "We gambled on staying out during that last caution, and we just came up a couple of laps short," said Stenhouse. "My guys fought hard all night, we just keep having some bad luck."
ETC.: Stenhouse is dating Danica Patrick and at the same time the two are competing for the Rookie of the Year title on the Sprint Cup Series. But Stenhouse said, "We don't really talk about it too much. I don't even know how many points I have in the Rookie of the Year standings (194 to 184 for Patrick). Away from the race track, we don't really talk much about racing."
11 DENNY HAMLIN, Toyota
Team: Joe Gibbs Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: 25th, 229 points out of the top 10.
ATLANTA RECORD: Won the race a year ago after leading 105 laps. Will be seeking his third straight top-eight finish.
LOOKING AHEAD: Hamlin said he still believes he can "win two to three races going down the stretch. Obviously, anyone that would hear me say that would think that's a stretch the way we've been running, but this is a team that is capable of winning a lot and we know that. We can turn it on at any time. We're just trying some things. Trying to get better. Trying to get a better feel so we have something to work on for next year. If we hit on something like we did at Bristol on Friday, then we can be pretty tough going into the Chase and be a spoiler."
LOOKING BACK: After winning the pole, Hamlin had high, high hopes for the weekend. But after leading twice for 23 laps, he was run into by Brian Vickers with only 53 laps to go. The contact cut Hamlin's right-front tire, sending him hard into Ryan Newman to trigger a multi-car accident that included several Chase contenders. "We cannot catch a break," said Hamlin, who ended up 28th. "You've got to laugh at it at this point. It's somewhat humorous. We had a car that could run in the top five. I thought we were better than the 5 (Kasey Kahne, who finished second). Who knows what would have happened."
ETC.: Hamlin admits he has chronic back pain. "My daily life is miserable," said Hamlin. "Once I'm strapped in (his race car) I'm fine." But he also said that Watkins Glen (earlier this month) "definitely took its toll." Hamlin described the situation as "a nagging pain that just won't go away." As for what the future holds, Hamlin adds, "I have to weigh the options. There are 10 different things you can do to help with either pain or the structure of your back. I just have to figure out which one is the right one for me."
55 BRIAN VICKERS, Toyota
Team: Michael Waltrip Racing
WHERE HE STANDS: The team stands 19th in the car owner point standings, 48 points out of the top 10.
ATLANTA RECORD: Three top-seven finishes in his last four races.
LOOKING AHEAD: In 10 Cup starts this season, Vickers has one win, and four top-10 finishes. He believes he can improve on that impressive resume in the final 12 races of the year. "We've got a lot of good tracks coming up for us, beginning with Atlanta," said Vickers. "While we are looking forward to 2014 (and a full-time ride in the Cup Series), we want to finish this season on a high note."

Ryu looks to snap Dodgers' skid at eight
The Dodgers never expected to be in this position.
Sitting in last place in the National League West with a record of 13-21, a 5-4 loss to the Marlins on Friday night increased the Dodgers' losing streak to eight games.
The team will try to snap that skid on Saturday as the Marlins and Dodgers square off at Dodger Stadium.
"We're at a point where you just fight and play hard and know that you've got to continue to just bust it and you keep turning the page," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "At this point, we can't get our past back. We've got to look forward. It's not easy, but you have to. It's just the way it is. Each guy individually has to come ready to play, expect good things to happen, work to the point where we have a chance for good things to happen and then go out and play and execute.
"There's no magic formula. We've got to get back on track winning our games that we're supposed to win."
Hyun-Jin Ryu will get the start for the Dodgers. In his three outings at Chavez Ravine, Ryu is 2-1 with a 2.41 ERA.
Going six innings in each of his seven outings this year, Ryu allowed four runs on eight hits in six innings on Sunday against the Giants. It marked the second time this season he's lost to San Francisco.
Opposing Ryu on Saturday will be Miami right-hander Kevin Slowey.
Slowey snapped a string of 10 straight losing decisions on Sunday against the Phillies. In his best start so far this season, he allowed just two hits in seven innings. He also struck out seven.
"It's certainly not productive for me to go out there and try to strike people out," Slowey said. "So, for me, it really is the process. Each at-bat, how do I try to get a guy out? An out is an out for me."
More than anything, Slowey said he's tried to rethink the game and execute by throwing all of his pitches in any location.
"For me to make pitches in any count, in any location, that's how I'm going to get outs," Slowey said. "I'm not going to be able to tell a guy what's coming and beat him with it."
Marlins: Koehler makes rotation all right
Tom Koehler will be replacing Wade LeBlanc in the rotation, giving Miami five right-handed starters.
LeBlanc, 0-5 with a 6.11 ERA in seven starts, was initially scheduled to start on Sunday. Now the left-hander will be going to the bullpen, where he is an option to pitch long relief.
Instead, Koehler, who has a 3.32 ERA in six relief appearances, will be making his second Major League start on Sunday. The right-hander started the 2012 season finale.
"He's going to get an opportunity to go in and make a start, and we'll see how he does," manager Mike Redmond said. "This gives us another lefty in the bullpen, and a guy who can throw multiple innings. We'll flip-flop them."
Dodgers: Van Slyke promoted, Herrera optioned
Los Angeles promoted Scott Van Slyke from Triple-A Albuquerque on Friday, while Elian Herrera was optioned. The Dodgers transferred right-hander Chad Billingsley to the 60-day disabled list to clear room for Van Slyke on the 40-man roster.
Trying to find a power bat off the bench, Van Slyke hit .397 with nine homers, 30 RBIs and a .503 on-base percentage in 34 games with the Isotopes. He struck out as a pinch-hitter in the ninth inning of Friday's game.
• More than 100 cyclists will ride from Union Station to Dodger Stadium to attend Saturday's game, as part of Bike Week Los Angeles. The event is organized by the Dodgers, C.I.C.L.E., the Eastside Bike Club and Metro.
• The Dodgers will combine Sunday celebrations for Mother's Day and Viva Los Dodgers with a host of events at Dodger Stadium, before the game and while the team hosts the Marlins at 1:10 p.m. PT.
Worth noting
• Dodgers left-hander Ted Lilly is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Saturday. He is on the disabled list with a right rib cage strain and began a throwing program Wednesday.
• Marlins slugger Giancarlo Stanton, on the 15-day DL with a strained right hamstring, remains in Miami receiving treatment.

Memorial Day weekend brought news of more U.S. drone attacks in Pakistan and Afghanistan as The New York Times raises new questions about President Obama's so-called "Kill List" of terrorists targeted for assassination. An extensive report in Tuesday's paper looks at the use of targeted attacks to take out terrorism suspects in other parts of the world, an increasingly important part of the government's anti-terrorism policies that Barack Obama himself has taken personal responsibility for. According to the story, the President approves every name on the list of terrorism targets, reviewing their biographies and the evidence against them, and then authorizing "lethal action without hand-wringing."
Drone strike continues thanks to Obama's 'kill list'
Pablo Martinez Monsivais/AP

As the president has slowly drawn down American forces in Afghanistan and Iraq, the use of drone attacks to take out senior leaders of al-Qaeda and the Taliban has become the primary tactic for fighting terrorism overseas. However, it raises a lot of legal and ethical questions about extra-judicial killings of individuals, particularly those who happen to be American citizens.
And there's no doubt that that strikes are continuing. NATO announced that a "precision air strike" killed Sakhar al-Taifi over the weekend, who is described as al-Qaeda's "second most senior figure in Afghanistan." Then on Monday, three separate strikes by unmanned drones killed 12 people in Pakistan, where air strikes have strained relations between the two nations.

Uncontainable: The Transforming Power of God
However, I had just prayed a prayer that I wanted Jesus to be the Lord of my life, not just part of it. Once I had finally let go of my life, once I had surrendered it over to Jesus, I felt overwhelmed by His grace and His mercy. I truly knew at the moment that God was real and that He undoubtably loved me.
