Virtual tools near actual federal use

Most federal workers have a love/hate relationship with meetings.
Bosses say they're a necessary part of an organization, but most feds hate the time it takes from their jobs, the travel, and in some cases, the expense of going to some meetings.
But what if you could use a collaboration tool that lets you participate in a meeting -- digitally?
The use of so-called "virtual worlds" technology was explored recently during the 4th Annual Federal Consortium for Virtual Worlds conference, held at the iCollege, (formerly known as the Information Resources Management College) at the National Defense University in Washington.
One of the panels at the conference explored the military's use of Second Life for inter-service collaboration and troubleshooting.
Eric Hackathorn, a program manager at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in Boulder, Colorado, heads up NOAA's Virtual Worlds Project, and runs his own company working in the nascent specialty of metrics for the 3D web. Right now, he's considered one of the pre-eminent experts in the use of virtual worlds technologies in the federal government.
He's one of the feds spearheading "V-gov", a program designed to give civilian federal agencies a secure virtual world for collaboration.
"We don't always understand each other's priorities," he said in the federal keynote address to the conference. "IT security people have different priorities than those of us who are trying to innovate and do new things. The same goes for procurement. There are some jobs in government where their goal is to do things in a way that's safe. And that's inherently difficult for those of us trying to innovate."
Hackathorn believes virtual worlds holds open the possibility of responding in new ways to citizens' (he calls them "customers") expectations of how government works for them.
"A lot of our audience doesn't care about the limitations we have in the government. And they don't have the patience for it. They want transparency, and transparency is more than just publishing a graph."
In fact, says Hackathorn, the V-gov initiative offers an opportunity to satisfy one of the current administration's efforts towards a fully transparent government.
"As part of (President) Obama's Open Government Initiative, there's a push to publish vast amounts of government data in open standards for public consumption. Everything from census to climate data could soon be online in an easy to use format. Virtual worlds offers the capability to take that data and visualize it in immersive and easy-to-understand fashions."
Hackathorn told the conference he's now working on a virtual worlds environment for his agency, NOAA, a "massively multi-player simulation, in which each user controls a small planet. A player invests resources in energy, agricultural production, and other areas, seeing how their choices affect the quality of life across the planet."
A year ago, Hackathorn says NOAA created a treasure hunt contest in one of the agency's Second Life "islands", designed to encourage users to explore areas and resources they had not viewed in previous visits. He told the conference that the contest "boosted traffic to the site by nearly 250%".

Outdoor enthusiasts are invited to attend a North Dakota Game and Fish Department advisory board meeting in their area.
These public meetings, held each spring and fall, provide citizens with an opportunity to discuss fish and wildlife issues and ask questions of their district advisors and agency personnel.
Whooping cranes are in the midst of their spring migration and sightings will increase as they make their way through North Dakota over the next several weeks. Anyone seeing these birds as they move through the state is asked to report sightings so the birds can be tracked.
North Dakota deer hunters took approximately 34,500 deer during the 2012 deer gun hunting season.
The State Game and Fish Department made available 65,150 deer gun licenses in 2012, and more than 95 percent were issued. Overall hunter success was 63 percent, and each hunter spent an average of 4.4 days in the field.
Wildlife, shooting, civic and fraternal organizations are urged to submit an application for the Encouraging Tomorrow's Hunters program, a State Game and Fish Department grant program developed to assist in recruitment of the next generation of hunters and shooters.
Grant funds will help cover event expenses, including promotional printing; event memorabilia such as shirts, caps or vests; ammunition and targets, and eye and ear protection.
Even though bald eagle nests in North Dakota are more common today than in the past, the State Game and Fish Department is asking for help in documenting locations.
Sandra Johnson, Game and Fish Department conservation biologist, emphasizes the department is looking for locations of nests with eagles present, not individual eagle sightings. "March and April is the best time to see an eagle nest, as eagles are actively incubating eggs," Johnson said. "It may become difficult later in spring to see the nest because of leaves beginning to grow on trees."
Hunters, trappers and anglers are reminded that new fishing and furbearer licenses are required April 1.
The dates for the furbearer license coincide with fishing season. The 2013-14 licenses are effective April 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014.
Licenses can be purchased online by accessing the online services link at the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov.
North Dakota's 2013 moose, elk and bighorn sheep proclamation is finalized and applications are available at the State Game and Fish Department's website. The deadline for applying is March 27.
A total of 111 moose licenses are available in 2013, 32 fewer than last year.
Randy Kreil, Game and Fish Department wildlife chief, said a downward population trend in the northeastern portion of the state is of great concern. "Unit M1C will remain closed," Kreil said, "and in addition, unit M4, which encompasses the Turtle Mountains, is also closed this year."
Samples taken from North Dakota deer during the 2012 hunting season have all tested negative for chronic wasting disease, according to Dr. Dan Grove, wildlife veterinarian for the State Game and Fish Department.
Last fall, samples for CWD testing were taken from more than 1,300 deer harvested by hunters in the western third of the state.
"As always, the success of our surveillance program could not be accomplished without the cooperative efforts of hunters, meat processors and taxidermists," Grove said.
North Dakota spring light goose hunters can track general locations of geese as birds make their way through the state.
Hunters are able to call (701) 328-3697 to hear recorded information 24 hours a day. Migration reports are also posted on the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website, gf.nd.gov. Updates will be provided periodically during the week as migration events occur, until the season ends or geese have left the state.
The 2013 spring wild turkey lottery has been held and hopeful hunters can check individual results by accessing the North Dakota Game and Fish Department website at gf.nd.gov.
More than 300 licenses remain in eight units. The governor's proclamation allows a maximum of two licenses, and hunters who did not apply in the first drawing are also eligible.
Undergraduate students with a major in wildlife management and/or fisheries biology are eligible to apply for a $795 scholarship through the Ronald D. Liudahl Endowment.
Students must be a resident of North Dakota, have completed at least 30 semester credits in a fisheries and wildlife management program, indicate career objectives in wildlife resource protection and management in a brief essay or statement, and have a grade point average and extracurricular/volunteer activities commensurate with good academic standing and citizenship. The deadline for applying is April 1.
State law requires permanent fish houses to be removed from North Dakota waters by midnight March 15.
Nancy Boldt, water safety coordinator for the State Game and Fish Department, said anglers should exercise caution because mild weather conditions can quickly result in unstable ice conditions.
"It is always important to check ice thickness, as warm temperatures with a high sun will rapidly deteriorate ice conditions this time of the year," Boldt said.

In this collection of papers on apraxia of speech (AOS), we discuss the advancements in understanding this syndrome including controversial issues about the theoretical foundations of AOS. We also review the literature from three different, but overlapping, perspectives—disconnection, motor memory, and fine motor skill perspective—and conclude that many of the still unresolved conceptual issues about AOS arise from an under-specification of existing spoken-language production models.

The answer to all those questions, is yes.
With a wet hulled vessel, the hull shape has an affect on the dynamic handling characteristics, and I suspect the Surcouf will be a bit of a pig in this regard. That is where the influence ends however.
Some modellers still prefer to use the hull as a pressure vessel with flat hatches bolted down to seal it. It does work, but I don't like that method of constuction

Lefties Sale, Albers match up at Target Field
Both southpaws coming off CG wins; rookie carries 0.00 ERA
When the White Sox take the Target Field diamond for Saturday's game against Minnesota, the last-place Chicago squad will have a chance to do something it hasn't done in nearly two months: secure a non-losing series for two sets in a row.
After taking two of three from Detroit during the week and losing the opener in Minnesota, the Sox responded with a win on Friday night behind home runs from Adam Dunn and Jeff Keppinger, snapping a 10-game road losing skid and getting a little revenge on the Twins.
Minnesota nabbed three out of four from the White Sox last week in Chicago, but now the visiting Sox have things at even going into the weekend portion of a four-game set.
Chicago ace Chris Sale will take the mound Saturday against Twins up-and-comer Andrew Albers.
Sale is 8-11 this season with a 2.73 ERA. He last saw the Twins on June 19 and gave up four runs on eight hits and two walks in five innings. He also struck out five.
In his last outing, Monday against the Tigers, Sale pitched a complete game and gave up just two runs on nine hits, with six strikeouts, for the win.
Though the White Sox have rounded into decent form over the past dozen days, their last-place standing in the division could mean Chicago might soon be looking to rest some starters.
"It's been talked about a little -- some," White Sox manager Robin Ventura said. "It depends on how September is and who we bring up, seeing who we're going to look at. It is possible there could be another guy thrown in there every once in a while. ... It depends on who those guys are."
The Twins, meanwhile, are headed to an October vacation for the third straight year, the longest string of postseason absences for the franchise during this millennium.
Hope comes in the form of future studs like Albers, a lefty, who has been sensational in his first two starts.
"I would pay to come and see him," said Minnesota general manager Terry Ryan. "I'm not going to, but I would."
Albers has yet to give up a run and has pitched into the ninth inning in both starts, including a shutout against the Indians in his last outing. The 27-year-old, who was pitching in independent ball just a few years ago, already has the longest scoreless streak to start a career by a Twins starter in team history.
This time around, he'll have an opposing ace to deal with, as Sale's losing record belies another impressive season.
"[Albers] is going up against one of the best pitchers in the game," Ryan said. "They're both left-handed, going to head to head, and we're going to see who comes out on top. One throws 96 [mph] and the other throws 86. Albers does it one way, and Sale does it another."
Albers is also just one of six pitchers in Major League history to throw at least eight shutout innings in each of their first two games, and the first to do it since Tom Phoebus in 1966.
Twins: Doumit gets a hit in return
Though the Twins dropped Friday's series opener, they got a starter back in the lineup. Minnesota activated catcher Ryan Doumit from the seven-day concussion disabled list on Friday and optioned first baseman Chris Colabello to Triple-A Rochester to make room for him on the roster. Doumit started at designated hitter and went 1-for-4 while batting in the No. 5 hole against Chicago.
Doumit sustained a concussion when he took a foul tip off his facemask on Aug. 4. He was placed on the DL soon after with concussion-like symptoms. Doumit tried to catch against the Royals on Aug. 7 but departed the game with nausea.
He caught in the bullpen and took batting practice at Target Field without any issues on Wednesday before passing an ImPACT concussion test. The paperwork from the test was sent to Major League Baseball and it was approved by the league as part of MLB's concussion policy.
"It's nice to get Doumit back because he's been champing at the bit to get back here," Twins manager Ron Gardenhire said. "He did everything yesterday from blocking balls in the dirt, bullpen sessions, taking BP and running around the bases."
White Sox: Friday a rare break from close losses
The White Sox weren't in a close game on Friday, thanks to a pair of two-run innings early, and it was probably a strong factor in their 5-2 triumph.
Thursday night's 4-3 walk-off Minnesota win marked Chicago's 27th loss by a one-run margin.
The White Sox are 18-27 in one-run games and 10-15 in two-run decisions. Ten of their last 15 games have been decided by one or two runs -- nine by one run, one by two runs -- and they went 4-6 in those games.
Worth noting
• The last time Chicago won consecutive series was nearly three months ago, when the White Sox took series against Boston and Miami from May 20-26.
• This series against Chicago is the fourth in a string of seven straight sets against American League Central competition for Minnesota.

MORRISTOWN In the wake of the December mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut, Morristown Central School is considering security upgrades to better protect staff and students.
Setting aside $100,000 in the proposed 2013-14 budget, Superintendent David J. Glover said the administration is making the upgrades a priority.
We want people to come in, but we want to know they are here, Mr. Glover said.
The bulk of the project will focus on fitting the main entrance of the building with an air-lock and buzzer system preventing visitors from walking directly into the school.
Thats really priority one right now because we dont have anyone manning the front door, Mr. Glover said. Currently, visitors are asked to sign in upon entering the building.
School officials are looking to move quickly, and the Board of Education has previously expressed its support for upgrades at the main entrance.
At the January school board meeting, President Cyril Aldrich Jr. said the school should make the upgrade sooner rather than later.
Mr. Glover said he hopes to move the project forward before students return in the fall.
I would hope we would be able to put it in in July and August, Mr. Glover said. It depends on how involved it is.
Front-door security is the largest of several upgrades the school envisions.
Weve also had initial conversations to have fire doors to zone off parts of the building, Mr. Glover said.
Fire doors could, in the event of a shooter gaining access to the building, be used to close off parts of the school and confine the shooters movements.
Mr. Glover said that project is farther down the road, but smaller upgrades are ready to move ahead. He said several classroom doors will be replaced by doors with smaller windows to better protect students.
Some of our older doors are full pane, so theres nowhere to hide, Mr. Glover said.
That project would cost an estimated $10,000 and the school hopes to have it off the ground before the end of the school year.
Morristown is also considering adding panic buttons to several school offices that would directly connect the building to law enforcement agencies.
The building is alarmed. The doors are locked throughout the day. Our campus is pretty much covered with video, Mr. Glover said. Knowing what happened in Connecticut, are we in the best shape we could possibly be? That school did everything right. And the bad guy still got in.
Mr. Glover said the school just wants to be as prepared as possible for the unthinkable.

Buskerud marks 50th with new brand, logo
BX Civil & Construction touts 'be excellent' mantra
Sporting a new logo and rebranding, Buskerud Construction, Inc., celebrated its 50th anniversary with more than simply an employee gathering.The Dell Rapids-based company, which is now BX Civil & Construction, Inc., brought about 90 employees together Saturday night at the Old 77 Ballroom to not only mark the milestone in the company's timeline, but also to announce to employees the new company title and brand.Company president Kari Karst said rebranding and renaming the company was important to the staff at Buskerud."We've got great employees, and we want to be able to attract the right employees," she said, adding that the new direction is key to the company's strategic plan, including human resources, marketing, operations and finance, unifying all aspects to "assure the company exists for another 50 years."The party Saturday was a way to include the employees on the change prior to going public. "We are making this about our employees first," Karst said.The event Nov. 10 included a meal, speeches, multimedia presentations and skits.As far as the company's new name, Karst said that the goal was to represent the legacy of Buskerud Construction while selecting a title that better explains what the business does."We've always wanted to honor the history of the Buskerud name," she said, noting that the "B" represents the original company name, while the "X" represents the inclusion of excellence in the company's long-standing value statement. "It kind of raises the bar for us that we always live up to our standard."The initial inclusion, whose planning began as early as March, takes on a double meaning for Karst, who said "BX" serves as a reminder for employees and management alike to always "be excellent."As part of the reveal at the event Saturday, one of Buskerud's trucks had been redesigned with the new logo to present to those gathered, and attendees were given shirts representing the company change. The logo incorporates Buskerud's black, white and green motif, a decision management hopes signals the unification of past, present and future.The celebration also included an in-house video featuring "The Faces of Buskerud," a company that includes 50-70 employees on average. Les Cummings, a longtime member of the South Dakota National Guard and a Buskerud vendor, served as emcee.Employees who'd reached milestones, including some at 40 and 45 years of service, also received awards at the 50th anniversary.Buskerud Construction was started by its namesake family in the 1950s, while the official incorporation came in 1962. Orville Buskerud's ownership of the company was passed through family members until the business was sold to Sweetman Construction of Sioux Falls in 1982.Harold Skatvold then took leadership of the company for the 10 years it was a subsidiary of Sweetman, after which Karst, whose father had worked for both Buskerud and Sweetman, bought the company in 1992.The current president was working as a civil engineer in California at the time and thought the position would be a good fit. She said she was blessed to work with Skatvold."He was a continuing influence in the company and somebody that was a mentor for me," Karst said.As far as the future of BX Civil & Construction, Karst said that the initial shock of a name change is worth the long-term goals."There are points where it's kind of scary," she said. "We just had to, as a team, rally and say, 'Why are we doing this?' I think that very quickly that will just become who we are."Living up to the standard of the company's ongoing mission and values, to be professional, innovative, safe, trustworthy, collaborative and excellent, is vital for the BX president. "We really just want to stand up to that. It raises the bar for us. We have 50 years of a great reputation in the industry."

As an MMA community I think we are helping him fit in by advising him to stop competing in MMA bouts. Surely that's showing that we care? I really can't see what he is trying to prove. Has he got goals or aspirations in MMA?
You said yourself, he should get along to some Grappling tournaments so that's really where his place in MMA is?
I would hate to see something bad happen to him.

Trumpet Skirtsuit: The universally flattering and fabulous silhouette of the Trumpet Skirtsuit has made it a customer favorite and metrostyle signature.
Read what customers are saying about this product:
Rating: 3.82 out of 17 votes cast
1/2 right
I would give this set a so-so. The skirt is awesome! A touch big (but then again, I wear a 19), but very nice and thankfully machine washable. The jacket is designed for the tastes of an older lady and not tailored at all. I would have preferred some princess seaming and smaller lapels. As it is the jacket makes me look larger than I am and (as my husband said) like an old lady (I'm in my 30s). Since I got the set on sale I'm happy with the price I paid for it, but the jacket will be gathering dust in the back of my closet or given away.
Albuquerque, NM
Trumpet set was a great choice for me! I've had it several years.It's durable for the washer machine. It never faded over the years! And, it fits very well!!
it was a hit
Blue is her favorite color and it is a really pretty suit dress for church will be ordering more clothes for my wife in the future
two church suits for $42.70!!!!!
I got two church suits for $42.70.I ordered white in size 6 tall.I loved it so much I ordered the tulip(pink) and the forest green in size 6 tall .I got both suits for $42.70 with shipping and handling.suits were on clearance you order online it was 30,percent off clearance price. Plus I got 15 percent off entire order. I was having problems with order.Rep told me order online so I could get additional 30percent off clearance. Then once I placed order. she gave me the 15 percent off entire order. Rep was patient, professional. and patient.She stayed on phone with me while I placed order.Thanks to her I got two great suits for price I would pay for one. The suits are great cover my arms, legs, and fit hips and butt make look good.
A little big, a little uneven
I ordered the jewel purple and although the color was lovely, the suit was sized a little large, too large. The skirt's hem was also uneven, noticeably longer in front than back. It's the first Chadwicks' purchase I've ever made that I was not happy with.
St. Louis, MO
great white suit for church for price.
I ordered the trumpet swimsuit in white for mother's day Sunday, missionary Sunday, communion Sunday. I am naturally tall its hard to find long suit that covers my legs. I wanted white suit for church that covered up everything but still left meme looking stylish. This suit is great for price and is true to size. with heels I am 6 feet.This dress goes to my ankles.My only complain is that it didn't come with lining underneath for jacket and skirt.
The dress fit beautifully!!
This dress is absolutely lovely. It fit me very well and I am most pleased with my purchase!
Washington, D.C.
The suit was nice. I need a white and a black T TRMPT suit. I have just about all colors. I have a problem with the jackets. They are too small. I can't fasten them. I have to leave them open. I can wear the skirts. The jackets for me are too fitted in the waist. I love the long skirts.
Cherryville, NC
Price, Fit, Color
Purchased Two. One a gift. Both are lovely for the price. They also fit well and colors are beautiful.
Church Lady
Dayton, Oh
Not as pictured
I had great hopes for this suit after reading the reviews, but I was greatly disappointed. The jacket is FAR from princess seamed. I usually wear an 18, which is what I ordered but this fit like a 22 up top. The sleeves were far too long as well. This is unusual for me as I have long arms. It seems to have been 'cut up' from a small size without adjusting the proportions for a larger woman. For example making everything 20% larger. The only good I can say of it is that the fabric seems to be of a non wrinkling sort. I will be returning it.
Emmett Kansas
Light Weight
This is a real light weight outfit that can be worn in early or late summer real well. Fits nicely.
United States
This suit's skirt is HUGE!! The size 6 jacket fits just fine, but the skirt is more like a size 10 or 12!! :( I considered trying to alter the skirt but it simply isn't worth the trouble. Sadly, I will return it (am reluctant to go one size down as the jacket will likely be too small and the skirt may still be too large). This outfit may be fine for a pear-shaped body.
Columbus OH
COOL MIST vs CARIBBEAN??
I love this style. Some of us really like the long skirts. So many of them are above the knee (or get there when we sit down) I WISH THIS STYLE COULD BE MADE IN CARIBBEAN OR BLUE GREEN. I have the "Cool mist" that is a light green with hint of blue (at least not yellow hint) It is nice but your sample here for THAT COOL MIST looks just like the color I wanted "caribbean". This style fits nicely and I receive many compliments.flp

Skirt Suit
I love this style of suit, we use this suit for our ushering at church, the only thing is I notice a change in the material they are using now it's a little cheap quality than the other ones I have for the price they are charging.
Coon Rapids, Mn

Great Suit!
Chadwicks has carried this suit for a very long time. I bought it in tulip and blueberry at least three years ago. I wear them a lot. They look great, and the fabric is not flimsy. Great style. Very classy.
Love To Shop
Montrose, PA
This suit is perfect for any occasion. I have it in white, ivory, and black. I love the way it accentuates your shape. The length is great when you have to have your knees covered and I love the style. I wish they made it in RED.

love the color
The fit was correct, the color and quality was as expected.
October 16, 2013
Simple tank
Nice, simple tank with a slight twist for the neckline. It's a great tank to wear underneath another shirt or sweater.
September 5, 2013
Very Versatile
This top works well with everything, even though the pink is very bright. Its a great pop of color with other basics.
September 1, 2013
Love these tanks
I have several if these tanks. They are so comfortable and wash great with no shrinkage. Super soft. Only wish they still had them available to purchase, would love to have more colors.
August 15, 2013
Feminine touch
The great thing about this tank is that it's so versatile. The material is a stretch jersey, so it's not too dressy or too casual and can be worn with jeans, under a blazer, with dress pants, or basically however you want to style it. The twisted georgette trim around the neckline gives the tank a soft, feminine touch, which I really like. It's so simple, but it really makes a difference in setting this shirt apart from other tanks. As for sizing info, I bought a S (which is my usual size in TL tanks - 5'0" tall, 128 lbs). Every woman needs a great staple tank that can be worn with everything, and this tank is that item for me.
August 14, 2013
Love the shirt. Fit well (but have not washed it yet).
July 11, 2013
flattering tank
This tanks are great. They are fitted but not too tight so flattering. The twist neck gives it a subtle flair that makes it look more stylish than a plain tank. Versatile fabric and style to dress up or down.

I am happy today because someone put a huge grin on my face late last night. Ear to ear.
I am happy today because someone put a huge grin on my face late last night. Ear to ear.
Hey, I know there is an old thread somewhere about Sons of Anarchy but I'm happy today because I'm finally watching this whole series and I saw Mr. Kings appearance the other day. He was awesome, big impact for a small role, I wish he was a regular he fits right in.
More Pitbulls!
I kind of wish I could have everyone who is afraid ofpibbles come to the shelter and walk one or two with me. Seriously fun dogs. And I happen to volunteer at a shelter where a majority of the staff loves them too, which is encouraging, since about 60% of 200 dogs they have in the system right now are pit bull or pit mix. They had a live release rate of 96% last month, and despite the breed restrictions in some surrounding communities, manage to not kill good dogs for space or over population. It's a really good, if out-dated facility wise, shelter.
Also, eating lunch with a friend.
I am happy today because it just hit me that I have met some people on this board that I truly think I can call friends.
I found a pretty good air fare this morning with a flight that goes from Bangor to Rome with only one stop in Philadelphia so have booked my flight for mid-April. Was afraid we'd have to drive or take the bus for the 4-hour trip to Boston to get a decent fare but it was actually more expensive going out of Logan which almost never happens! First time going to Italy but going with my daughter who has been before. So excited!
Leaving on the 14th but it's a red-eye so won't get into Rome until about 9 AM on the 15th and returning on the 30th. Rome and Florence are already on the list as well as Cinque Terre but now considering which other places to visit. Pisa is in between Florence and Cinque Terre so will make at least a photo op stop along the way. Venice isn't as high on my list but keep hearing we really should try to get there. It's a lot farther north than most of the places we want to include so may have to take another trip sometime. So many places to see, so little time.

When will Phillips be healthy again to rematch with Fields?
Would be awesome if McGregor can become two weight champion.
I know the article says there was an agreement with the former champion (I assume about vacating it), but is there an article or more news about what actually happened?
No, just what's said in that I think. It's the only news I've heard about it.
Buchinger vs. McGregor is an awesome fight. Was really looking forward to McGregor vs. Alers finally, but that match looks doomed. Props as always to Ian Dean for sorting a more than worthy replacement.
Why should McGregor get to fight for the LW title just out of interest?

From dealing with trolls to slightly unhinged ramblings, these companies turn corporate Twitter feeds into comedy gold
In today's social media landscape, Twitter has become one of the primary means of communication between large, faceless companies and their consumers. Sometimes, a corporate Twitter account takes really bad missteps (see the JP Morgan fiasco and numerous other corporate Twitter fails). Sometimes, though, the person handling the account manages to turn it into a powerful marketing tool full of wit and snark.
UK telco Tesco Mobile used to have a fairly run-of-the-mill corporate Twitter feed. That all changed when they hired British agency Jam to coach their customer care team on a tone of voice for their #nojoke campaign. The move resulted in such gems as this:
@JayFeliipe Are you really in a position to be turning girls away?
— Tesco Mobile (@tescomobile) October 16, 2013
Another company who is using a similarly hilarious and snarky tone on the Twitter feed for its online casino sites is BetFair; more specifically on its poker division. The feed is decidedly less sales-y than Tesco's. Much less sales-y, in fact, that among the numerous slightly unhinged tweets on its feed you'll only find the occasional tweet promoting the company's services outright.
The online casino's poker feed can come off as strange to the first-time reader, but as ad exec Phil Adams puts it, there is a method to the madness. The company actually hired comedy writers (exactly who these writers are remains a closely guarded secret) to man the keyboards. Judging by the response, their gamble paid off.
"The trick is to give your followers something they aren't getting elsewhere," says online marketing firm Custard of the original poker marketing strategy. The firm adds that while the output of the mind behind the feed may not be to everyone's tastes, "the chances are his inane ramblings will leave you stifling sniggers behind your computer screen. And stifled sniggering leads to sharing."
The company has yet to use a similar tone for its main Twitter feed, but judging by the positive feedback it's received so far perhaps it's just a matter of time.

There's something about the inherent darkness behind Aubrey's acting style that turns us on.

Liquid lens mimics the human eye
Article Summary
August 19, 2005 Taking a leaf from Mother Nature, scientists at A*STAR's Institute of Materials Research and Engineering (IMRE) in Singapore have developed tiny lenses made of liquid, which mimics the action of the human eye. The liquid lens system has optical zooming abilities and uses only a fraction of the space of most conventional lenses. It alters its focal length by changing its shape. The lens promises optical zoom functionality for the next generation of camera phones and other compact hand-held devices. We have reported previously on similar functionality shown by Philips at CEBIT 2004.

10.02.2013 /
Red Bull KTM factory riders Tony Cairoli and Ken de Dycker had another big day out at Round 2 of the Italian International MX Championship in Malagrotta on Sunday when they continued their domination of the MX1 class as they get in practice laps ahead of the 2013 MX1 World Championship.
Ken De Dycker and Tony Cairoli fought a fierce battle in the MX1 race on the hard pack surface. "I got the holeshot and was puling away from the pack and putting some distance between them but then I got a stone caught in my rear brake and that slowed me down for a couple of laps. Ken managed to pass me but then the stone came loose and I managed to catch him and we crossed the line almost together," Cairoli said. The two KTM riders were separated by just 0.299 seconds at the flag.
With a 1-2 for De Dycker and Cairoli it was the reverse result of the MX1 race in the opening round last weekend and left the two KTM factory riders in the lead with equal points in the championship. While the KTM 350 SX-F ridden by Cairoli and the KTM 450 SX-F of De Dycker both dominated the race, third placed Evgeny Bobryshev of Russia trailed the leader by 34.45 seconds.
Cairoli then turned up the heat in the Elite Class race, again grabbing the holeshot and registering the fastest lap time in lap 4 of the 16-laps race at 1:46.828 minutes. De Dycker finished fourth behind Steven Frossard and Bobryshev. This places Cairoli in the lead in the Elite class while De Dycker is in third behind Frossard.
"In the second I just rode my own race," Cairoli said. "It was good to get a good result on our home track and this was a result that was good for the team as we prepare for the start of the World Championship." Round Three of the championship is next weekend in the north of Italy at Pietramurata.

One Comment to "Wordless Wednesday: Easter Sunday, ca. 1976"
Hi Dawn ,I love your site & history recalling. Do you have any research on the Salem Cemetery where your grandparents are buried a.k.a. Alexander Cemetery of Oconee Co.,Sc. ? I believe I see a resemblance of your grandfathers face to one of my Watson ancestors. Uncanny if we are not cousins. I thought the look was possibly from "Bennets" just.
I enjoyed your page. Thanks for your work.

Once again, I'm not in favour of immediately removing ALSA in favour of OSSv4. I'm only in favour of pushing it into the repos of distros so it can be developed further.
I do believe Pulse needs to be removed immediately because it does break games and it does break programs. Recoding everything to be tolerate of a wrapper is not an option. Removing the wrapper and integrating its functionality into the core sound API is the only way to go.
If this can be done with ALSA, sure let's stick with ALSA. But I'm not sure if it can.
