Jasmine Deporta has photographed a very nice fashion story for can you keep a secret? which is casual but very well-styled and shot from a number of views that play to a man-sat-in-chair-watching perspective; which of course is suggestive, but intelligently so. They have a quality of floating (sometimes literally) but in a totally non-lame way, just as suspended moments of impermanence that make you think "ah youth" right before you learn the title of the series Lolita and then they become something else entirely.
Sara Maragotto is one interesting image maker. With a portfolio full of quiet but brilliantly variegated colours and a process that I can't tell you a whole lot about (only that it looks a lot like very hands on print techniques like lithography or mono printing) hers is a body of images with ambiguous arrangements, strangely diagrammatic qualities and not a little intrigue.
Now in its fifth draft, Birmingham's Eastside Projects have published their own user's manual as to how one might engage with them and their space. Providing the suitably schematic renderings of the space's potential is Voidwreck, the Amsterdam-based duo Karl Nawrot and Walter Warton.
The Photographers' Gallery was the first independent space of its kind in Britain, so understandably its reopening in a new, tailored home is important to a very large and dedicated audience.
In the last of our catch-ups with The Graduates 2011, we check-in with Bruce Usher, a fully-fledged designer in London's Inventory studio, and Scott Taylor who has embraced his inner filmmaker to great effect.
Most model car kits come with a sheet of stickers that can be applied to the side of a shabbily-glued "super" car. Their space-saving arrangement is incidentally aesthetic, even more so when it's just the sticky net that always ends up on the back of your jumper. Channelling this abstract recall of childhood imagery is Blair Thurman who has created, from neon, the outlines of these random compositions at their most simple. Strange, still, that they look "go-faster" even when hung on the gallery wall. The almost tribalistic quality of it has all sorts of allusions to underground and popular American culture and Thurman's re-appropriation of a graphic vernacular hardly seen in a gallery space and craft is undeniable.
Ecstatic Alphabets / Heaps of Language at New York's Museum of Modern Art has brought together 12 contemporary practitioners and an estimable spectrum of key 20th Century artists who do as the Dadaists do and eschew rational structures of language, form, sound – taking language, in particular typography, and "freeing it from its communicative and descriptive duties."
David Galasse looks like he does it all and does it really well. His bright, wonderfully applicable graphic design doesn't follow the trend bent but instead does a fantastic job of creating truly personal identities, printed collateral, web/mobile/app design, animation etc.
In the Medley Tour, an exhibition now on show at London's Hauser & Wirth, Berlin-based artist Andreas Hofer aka Andy Hope 1930, suggests a world populated by superheroes but this is not comic art. It's not sequential story-telling and it's not immediately accessible as fine art either, however, the clue is always in the name and Andy Hope 1930 adopted his because he associates "the year 1930 with both the rise of the comic book to a mass medium, and the abandonment of suprematism and Russian constructivism" – both of which are primary signifiers in his work, albeit, somewhat mixed up a là food processor.
Katie Paterson is hugely capable of realising complex concepts in the most lyrically simplistic ways. Early on in her career there was a single lightbulb suspended in a dark room, the light it emitted was strange and totally unlike the yellow bleach of a regular lamp. Light bulb to Simulate Moonlight took the spectral measurements of lunar illumination and working closely with lighting specialists, Katie created enough of them to last one person a lifetime of moonlight.
Part three of our catch-up with The Graduates 2011. This time it's Mike Guppy, who besides doing a placement with our very own INT Works has co-founded a design studio, Krystina Naylor who was selected as a Saatchi Gallery New Sensation earlier this year and Hannah Shipley who is forging ahead with her own design work and placements.
Osaka-based artist Yasuaki Onishi uses humble, simple materials – black glue, plastic sheets, nylon thread – but somehow a large space is majestically occupied with his inverted landscapes, the "reverse of volume", allowing a viewer to occupy a space that would otherwise, perceptively, be given over to something of monumental density. Now showing in Texas' Rice University Art Gallery, Onishi's latest installation makes real his interest in the invisible, "like time, or air, or gravity" – constructing a suspension of weight/space/belief that can be observed from all angles and never to the same effect.
In his 2006 film, Somerset-born artist Ben Rivers introduced us to the real life hermitic Jake Williams in This Is My Land. For Jake, a man with extraordinary eyebrows and expressive beard who lives alone in the high-Highlands, his self-sustainment and self-dependency is the realisation of a dream concocted as a young man. Two Years at Sea takes back up with Jake, the title alluding to the time spent working on boats so that he might lead this isolated life and though this film does nothing to explain those circumstances, it's a bewildering starting point for an audience (one that no-one I was in the cinema with could possibly relate to).
Sharing his Bookshelf with us this week is collage artist Mark Lazenby. Prolific in both design and art contexts, Mark works with a huge range of narrative and abstract material, undoubtedly pulling from the wise words of others to help realise such idiosyncratically communicative pieces. Read on for his top five literary touchstones, ranging from Basquiat to Hesse.
These strange taxonomies of martian conditions and geography by Oslo-based artist Øivin Horvei are what I imagine the Little Prince might have looked like if Ernst Haeckel could wield an airbrush. The ongoing Explorer Series is a hypothetical scientific excursion that records alien conditions in washy colours and gravity defying shapes. Though not strictly narrative, when seen as a collection it's a brilliant diversion into fantasy tempered with an ongoing "archive" of research like reference called The Saturn Archives that offers plenty to read into.
W/–––Projects is an arts initiative in New York that count a gallery space, bi-annual arts publication White Zinfandel and now artist editions within their gamut of productivity. The prints, newly released ("fresh prints"?) are interestingly constrained to four by six inch, one or two colour risographs and feature such estimable names as Keegan McHargue, Rafaël Rozendaal, Amy Yao and Mark Owens.
Observe, reader, the hyper-realistic inscrutability of Mary Ellen Johnson's paintings. Her vast canvases study a panoply of culinary delights; cakes, sundaes, splits ("death food" I heard someone mutter), all depicted at the apogee of their desirability. They will never look as good or taste as good at any other moment, ever. Just so this clumsy reference to the ephemerality of youth and beauty doesn't go un-flogged, I'll continue: The gleaming perfection of hot fudge sauce turns all other food stuffs to dust – peerless eclair! Immaculate banana! These are unattainable, fetishistic almost, portraits that reflect with all sincerity on our weird emotional attachment to food beyond just being hungry. For Johnson, the "cherry on top" is not just a metaphor.
Professor Xavier said that mutation is a form of evolution, so is it me or is Douglas Prince's photographs ridiculously evolved? He explores the medium fully, addressing the potential of digital manipulation as a device for "transformations that create new perceptions" – never so abstract you don't recognise his subject matter but ambiguous and beautiful enough to read beyond the obvious.
Not many artists could boast their work evoked a righteous chalice gesture to the heavens. But then not many artists have had as important an impact on high-fantasy art as Frank Frazetta. You think you don't know who he is but you do – if you have ever listened to or stood near someone who listens to heavy metal, read comics, pulp fantasy fiction, or find meaning in the combinations of words "rogue roman," "moon maid," and "wither wing," then you know who Frank Frazetta is.
In the same way Liliana Ovalle incorporates into her designs the incidences of improvised functionality in everyday situations into her designs, her use of colour is just as unexpected and illuminating in its suggestion of how a piece of furniture might be interpreted. A continuation of her Colour Me series, these pieces feature consistent geometric designs that conform to our table and stool-shaped conventions blocked out in vibrant colour on well-crafted, edgy wooden forms.
Here's part two of our catch-up with the class of 2011 as part of The Graduates 2012, featuring Mia Porter, currently knocking on a year as a full-time graphic designer for Alisdhair Willis, Sarah Maycock who's enjoyed a very exciting year as a freelance illustrator and Doug Stewart, soon to exhibit in New York and who's just started a design position with HarrimanSteel…
Hot dog damn it the internet is good. More specifically, 50 Watts, because it's not everyday and just anywhere you see such extraordinary graphic design. These images, taken from a book called Chinese Graphic Design in the Twentieth Century by Scott Minick and Jiao Ping, depict changing styles and traditions in Chinese design as wider art movements began to influence the eastern aesthetic and technique. It's totally fascinating, contextually and artistically, to see such strong parallels between individual designers in the 1920s and 1930s and, say, the German expressionists. Rare and beautiful work.
Finally, a dedicated exhibition in which to surrender to the years of ineffable greatness that is Alex Katz. Tate St.Ives presents Give Me Tomorrow, a showcase from the octogenarian painter renowned for painting in economical lines and flattened swathes of edible colour. Not only displaying his own collages, canvases and cut-outs, but a curated selection of artists from the Tate's own collections.
It is safe to assume that the opening night of any exhibition is as much about the beer as the art. Harnessing this great truth, the very wonderful illustrator-recherché Keith Shore is exhibiting his regular commission of labels for Danish beer brand Mikkeller at their bar in Copenhagen. Opening tonight, this hop-fuelled vernissage features a wide range of original drawings used by the brewery – tiny narratives, bright colours, jazz characters, strange happenings – and no less than 20 beers on tap. Keith Shore + Beer = Best. Show. Ever.
Jaehyo Lee is a Korean artist who has a very distinctive way of manipulating form, not just through moulding but by cutting, in a way totally un-compromised by the natural shape of the original material. Working with basic materials, Jaehyo performs simple albeit labour-intensive operations, in particular, with nails in charred wood. The nails protrude in a perfectly measured surface, their heads bent in strategic directions so that the overall impression is one of movement and changing depth with each nail looking like a mark on paper. These meticulously constructed physical drawings are a bewildering thing in the flesh and lucky for us in London, they are now on show at the Hada Contemporary until May 30.
I don't do favourites but I do do top threes. Top three subject matter involving an animal featured in a Ted Parker illustration: smoking dog; drinking dolphin; lions playing basketball. Top three stylistic devices used by Ted to obliterate reality and replace it a better, funner, happier one: salad servers for hands and feet; horseshoe shaped ankles; trans-gender, disturbingly happy dot-dot-dot-half-circle faces. Top three illustrators right this moment, right now: Ted Parker; Ted Parker; Ted Parker. His work just kills me it makes me so happy.
Our human endeavour to control the elements, or at least harness them, has been fodder for artists since pretty much always. Early fascination with meteorological phenomena had whole civilisations on their knees, praying to the gods of water, fire, earth and wind. And, even after we'd explained away their causes and cleaned up their effects, the intangible wonder of their happening at all still remains.
Abstract Sunday is Christoph Niemann's online spot for The New York Times in which his personal world is revealed through down-the-line wit and everyday observations, all depicted in the gloriously straight-faced universal language of diagrams. Recently ABRAMS collected these brilliantly effective schematic stories and published them into as a book titled Abstract City which covers such ubiquitous themes as electric cable frustration, public transport irrationality, the love of/the hate of coffee and everybody's favourite – creative block.
As we launch our annual call for submissions to The Graduates 2012 supported by Represent – a showcase of the brightest new talents emerging from UK universities – we caught up with last year's crop to get a quick sum-up of their first year out of education and into the real world.
Photographic duos are an interesting one – there's certainly some grand theory about the truth of a photo being dissecting even further by a shared vision or a shared experience. Step forward Daniel Evans and Brendan Baker, partners in more than one photographic outing, their latest series Sleeping Through an Earthquake comes straight out of India.
Marcelo Gomes has more than the average photographer's affinity for light. His just out of focus images, like a careful shifting of attention between the subject and the space they inhabit, are a refreshing alternative to the high-gloss, high-fashion and highly-overrated images dominating the commercial world. As much as anyone with an awareness of their influencers, his selection for this weeks Bookshelf feature is a nuanced lot and not at all obvious. Good read, readers!
What is more impressive than one psychedelic spectral pour painting by Holton Rower? 19 of them. New York's The Hole gallery presents the latest in the artist's beautifully vivid, process-driven works that reveal the time that made them like the rings of a tree while simultaneously appearing as if a particularly chromatic work of art had melted on its plinth.
If you hold what you think you know about Bauhaus up to the very illuminating light of the Barbican's new exhibition, Bauhaus: Art as Life, the effect is pretty spectacular. Preconceptions in the shape of a yellow triangle, blue circle and red square are split in a contextual kaleidoscope that plays the disciplines and their histories off of each other. The result is broad and one that you could never achieve in a classroom. This is perhaps the crowning achievement of this exhibition – and to put an end to this trite metaphor – it sheds a renewing light on the most influential design movement of the twentieth century so that a whole new generation might experience it first hand.
Sketch paint apps have officially got artistic kudos (thanks Hockney!) with the narrow spectrum of marks available making a simple kit of communicative parts. The results are becoming more and more visible as artists and designers alike share their working process and daily observations in flattened accents and straight-from-the-packet colours.
Are you near New Haven? Then go to Yale – the graphic design MFA candidates are still exhibiting, including recently featured Ryan Weafer and it looks sweet. Especially because they've tempted us with this anomalously aesthetic short promo featuring white(noise)outed spaces on walls and plinths where artwork should be – all in a fly-through animation that looks like a architects mock-up but smells like space.
Very soon, impossibly so, a very large number of illustrators, graphic designers, photographers, artists and other creatively minded individuals will emerge from their respective educational institutes – bright-eyed, bushy-tailed and questionably attired. In other words, graduate season is nearly upon us and we cannot wait to meet them all.
That which I can tell you about Ryan Weafer's work–- that his design feels very current and is concerned with iterative surfaces and compositional elements beyond typographic conventions – can be embellished by the esteemed education he is currently wrapping up as an MFA candidate in graphic design at Yale School of Art.
This year, the David Hockney exhibition transformed the exterior of the Royal Academy of Arts into a moving wall of flesh, travelling at approximately 0.25 miles per hour on weekdays. An extraordinary turnout and the combined cacophony of conversation and opinion from the public both inside and out of the gallery was the ultimate eavesdroppers dream.
It's safe to say James T Edmondson has a skill but more than that is a positive attitude towards his practice that really shows in the making. Lettering and type – hand-drawn and digitally rendered, research and contextual statements, multiple weights and infinite applications – are his artistic bent, the results of which are not what you would immediately marry up to his undergraduate status. But that he is, a senior studying graphic design at the California College of Arts in San Francisco and our Student of the Month.
Photographer and filmmaker Chris Floyd has leant his sweet and easy cinematic eye to a number of short films for mens fashion destination, Mr Porter. The series called The Way I Dress watches from a cool distance as men with style, not just fashion, dress themselves.

Strawberry Jalapeño BBQ Chicken Wings
8 comments | Leave Comment
Strawberry Jalapeño BBQ Chicken Wings
Instead of just marinating your chicken wings in plain barbecue sauce, jazz it up by adding chopped jalapeno and strawberries for a sweet and spicy kick. I use Gold's Barbecue Sauce for the perfect semi-homemade marinade.
- Prep Time : 1 hour, 20 min
- Cook Time : 45 min
- Ready Time : 2 hour, 5 min
- 1 pound chicken wings
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 1/2 cup Gold's BBQ Sauce
- 1/2 cup strawberries, chopped
- 2 jalapeños, halved, seeded, and coarsely chopped
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons honey
Heat vegetable oil in a small pot over medium heat. Add the onions and saute for 5 minutes, until soft.
Add ketchup, strawberries, jalapeños, vinegar, honey and Gold's barbecue sauce.
Bring the mixture to a boil then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until thick.
Marinade the chicken wings in the Strawberry Jalapeño BBQ Sauce for 1 hour in the fridge.
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Place the marinated chicken wings on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or foil.
Bake the wings for 30 minutes then flip and cook for another 10 minutes. Flip the wings back over one more time, set the oven to broil and cook the chicken for 5 minutes, to give the chicken a dark and crunchy topping.

If I can get myself to save some strawberries I will make this. Love fruit-driven BBQ sauces. Never made one with strawberries so I find this intriguing.
I assume that you add the honey to the marinade? You list it in the ingredient, but don't mention it in the instructions.
Very impressed with the flavors in these chicken wings. Great for a football party.
Can it marinated longer than 1 hr
Since I don't make chicken wings but do a lot of baking and grilling with chicken beasts, I'm going to use this on my chicken breast next Shabbat.. It should be a nice chsnge … It should keep it moist since there is no skin

Stephen Curry hopes to be a Golden State Warrior for life. Four years ago, Curry was disappointed that he wasn't drafted by the Knicks; now, he worries that a new arena will alter the makeup of the Warriors' notoriously rowdy fan base. "No offense to New York, but I'm so, so happy I didn't fall to them in the draft," Curry said. "No matter what they do with the new arena, they better not change the dynamics of the fan base. If we have the same fans, in this new place … man, I'd want to play here forever. Wouldn't you?" Curry is overwhelmed by the support he's received since leading the Warriors to the second round. "You wanna know how much this place loves their Warriors?" Curry said. "We made it to the conference semifinals and they gave me a freaking key to the city. The key to the city! For the semis! If we'd have won the title, they'd have put a statue of coach Jackson on top of the bridge."

Plea bargain in drug case should not nullify the crime
Mar 7, 2012 - Dan Brossman, Lander
Re: Feb. 26 Ranger front page "Plea deal for lead defendant in drug sweep":
Does a plea bargain nullify a crime?
From 80 years in prison down to probation? Seems like if you own a business in Riverton, and if you are from a minority group, you can commit any crime and get away with it. Just plea bargain your way out of it, right?
This judgment seems like an open door for more criminal activity in Fremont County.

Beneath the Pines
Throughout the South, men imported from foreign countries are doing backbreaking forestry work under the federal government's "guestworker" program. Denied the protection of the marketplace, these foreign workers are modern-day indentured servants, bound to unscrupulous labor contractors who routinely exploit them. Often forced to mortgage their futures to get here, they are systematically underpaid in jobs as dangerous as they are grueling. If they dare complain, they and their families risk physical retaliation and financial ruin.
Here, in their own words, are the stories of migrant workers brought to the United States from Mexico, Guatemala and Honduras to plant trees, thin forests and apply herbicides for timber contractors operating on our public lands and on huge commercial tracts in the South.
Under federal rules, labor contractors who bring in these workers on short-term, temporary H-2B visas must guarantee a minimum hourly wage, or "prevailing wage," which varies based on where the work is performed. To obtain these visas, employers must certify they have been unable to find enough domestic workers.
This system is broken. The Immigrant Justice Project of the Southern Poverty Law Center documented serious, widespread abuse and exploitation of H-2B reforestation workers:
• Workers routinely log 60 or more hours each week but earn substantially less than the minimum wage of $5.15 per hour, and certainly less than the "prevailing wage" required for H-2B reforestation workers.
• Workers are not paid federally required overtime and often are forced to pay for their own work tools, visas and travel expenses -- in violation of the law.
• Some employers seize workers' passports and other identity documents upon their arrival, and many require workers to leave the deeds to their homes with recruiters in their home countries. These practices create a captive workforce unlikely to complain about wages and working conditions.
• Workers often suffer terrible accidents on the job, but few receive workers' compensation benefits. Workers commonly are driven long distances at high speeds without sufficient seat belts. Many have lost their lives in van accidents.
In the course of preparing four class action lawsuits against forestry contractors, we have talked with more than a thousand pineros -- men who have planted, thinned and sprayed chemicals on the trees in our nation's forestland -- since December 2004. This report contains the words of just a few of these men, but the stories they tell are representative of hundreds of others with whom we have spoken. Many of these stories are taken from sworn statements filed in various lawsuits on behalf of forestry workers in the South.
Finally, we offer recommendations -- ranging from increased enforcement of guestworker rights to new safety requirements -- to ensure that these workers are treated fairly when they come to work in the United States.

WEST TEXAS - A tough competition between Midland and Odessa came to an end today and the tall city came out on top. The West Texas Food Bank announced today that Midland won the "Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive." Every year the food bank hosts the drive, where people leave sacks of canned food by their mailboxes to be picked up by their mail carrier.
Last year Odessa donated more but this year Midland took the prize. West Texans raised a total of 150,000 pounds of food, which will provide 82,000 meals to hungry families.

Cyber Security Act of 2009Submitted by dannyquist on Fri, 2009-05-22 14:24.
The Cyber Security Act of 2009 submitted by US senators John Jay Rockefeller and Olympia Snowe looks like it is geared up to be some poor US policy. Joe Stewart has written up a response to it. Joe makes some very valid observations.
To recap the criticism of the bill, there are two big complaints: First is that it gives the president the power to turn off the Internet in an emergency. Second it requires mandatory licensing for "Infosec professionals." The second point is the one I take the most issue with.
Requiring mandatory licensing for a field as dynamic and changing as ours is just a bad idea. There are already a couple of government entities that require the CISSP as a condition of employment. Side-stepping a long winded rant about the CISSP, it is not an accurate measure of knowledge. There has been a concerted effort to liken our field to others such as electricians and general contractors. The problem is that things are changing so fast, any certification is basically worthless as soon as it is issued.
So if you're a US citizen please write your senators and encourage them to revise this bill.
Searching offensive computingSubmitted by malareej on Fri, 2009-05-22 08:46. Administrivia
Hi every one,
I'm not sure how many of you have tried the search capability on the right side of this webpage. I tried it many times, the problem is that it does not return any results, i.e. the answer is always "no match" no matter if there is actually a content including the search terms or not.
I think it would be useful if this is fixed.
By the way I use the "Search for sum or name" and it works.
Detecting Packers in Network Streams with Pynids and PefileSubmitted by famousjs on Tue, 2009-05-19 19:41. tools
To step away from using snort as a base for detecting binary packers, I decided to go with a more direct approach and use a library that handled stream reassembly within python. I then simply took the data once the connection had closed, and scanned the data with PeFile. The python script, which I call nPeID (network peid), can either scan a pcap if passed in as an argument, or sniff on an interface (default is eth0).

Vista Wireless Power ToolsSubmitted by dannyquist on Sun, 2009-05-03 10:45.
Josh Wright from Inguardians has written a paper on Vista's wireless stack. He describes the NDIS6 command line interfaces and how to use them in a pentest. From the paper:
"With the introduction of Windows Vista, Microsoft has put forth considerable effort in revamping the IEEE 802.11 wireless stack through the Network Driver Interface Specification (NDIS) 6 model. With considerably greater functionality and capability than was provided in Windows XP, Vista's wireless capabilities shine with new freedom for developers, a robust development framework, rich information sources for wireless analysis and end-user tools for analyzing and controlling wireless parameters."
I'm looking forward to doing some wifi research again and this paper certainly provides a healthy kick in the pants to do so.

On the Legitimacy of Obfuscated CodeSubmitted by dannyquist on Fri, 2009-04-17 16:36.
Chris Wysopal has written an article about different uses of obfuscation inside of executables. Malicious or not, it is a useful tool for hiding or at least raising the bar on reverse engineering effort required. It's a good article and I recommend you read it. It did get me to thinking about a couple of things in reverse engineering.
One thing that Chris mentions is that users should be able to decide whether or not they want obfuscated code on their system. In many ways this is similar to the open vs. closed source debate. I have long argued that having the assembly for a program is equivalent to having the source code for a skilled reverse engineer. Looking at enough assembly and work with different compiler variations and one can work out what the original code looked like.
Regarding the question about whether obfuscation is a bad thing, Rolf Rolles recently commented that Bitdefender decided wholesale that the VMProtect packer is malware and anything obfuscated with it should be removed. Now the Bitdefender developers are smart guys, and maybe they decided that any legitimate software has no need to use this. Other anti-virus software takes a similar tactic. During the Race To Zero contest at Defcon last year, the winning team noticed that removing all the imports from an executable caused multiple AV vendors to automatically flag an executable as being suspicious.
The choice about the legitimacy of packers and obfuscation has already been made for us by the AV community: It's bad. This may be narrow sighted but hey, that's what the industry is all about.

AMD Trinity Preview roundup
AMD's new Trinity APU architecture has had its preview today - with a slew of previews to keep your eyes, and maybe wallets happy. AMD's Trinity APU is built from a 32nm manufacturing process and sports 1.303 billion transistors. They come in a variety of models, speeds and specs - with the A10-5800K at the top of the hill, followed by the A10-5700, A8-5600K, A8-5500, A6-5400K and finally, the A4-5300.
Here's a roundup of some of the reviews that have just hit:
Intel's 22nm manufacturing process is 'exceeding expectations', talks of 5nm tech for 2015
Intel's 22nm manufacturing process is shaping up much better than what the chipmaker said, according to talks at last week's IDF. Director of Process Technology, Mark Bohr, has said that the company's 22nm manufacturing process has exceeded their expectations.
Intel's Ivy Bridge line of processors bought forth the company's tri-gate transistor technology, which has been praised by technology enthusiasts alike. Bohr talked about the transistors' leakage and sub-threshold slope were more efficient than Intel had expected, and the technology will now see an extension of life into a few more generations.
We should hopefully see 14nm sometime next year, but 2015 looks like its the year for big amounts of change. Not only should we expect hoverboards (BTTF reference here) but we should see 10nm, 7nm and 5nm technologies researched. These technologies will see some amazing techniques used, as you can see in the picture above.

Intel's Ivy Bridge platform to get 4K display support next month
Intel will release a driver update for their Ivy Bridge platform next month that will enable 4K display output support, as well as hardware accelerated 4K video decoding abilities. Two DisplayPort outputs will be required to power a 4K display.
This means that most Ivy Bridge-based systems won't be capable of pushing 4K out from their systems, but future IVB systems wil have the 4K capabilities. Intel's Haswell platform will support a 4K-based panel from a single DisplayPort, or HDMI connection.
What do you think of Intel's announcement of 4K support on IVB? Disappointing because it requires two DP outputs, or surprising that they're at least noticing 4K support this early in the game?
Intel releases more CPUs, updates prices on a couple old ones
Intel has expanded the choices available when shopping for a new mobile or desktop CPU. In addition to new chips, Intel has dropped the prices on some of its existing line up. Unfortunately, some of the new chips Intel released today are still based upon the older Sandy Bridge architecture.
Now, that wouldn't normally be a problem, except the model number is i3-3xxx, where the 3 stands for the Ivy Bridge generation. The chips are bottom barrel chips that most people wouldn't be buying, but the fact exists that there are Sandy Bridge chips, according to my sources, that are being marketed under the i3-3xxx brand.
The desktop update is pretty mundane. They added a CPU here and there, and dropped the prices on some others. It's the mobile market where the really interesting things are happening. Intel has released a new flagship mobile chip, the Core i7-3940XM, that rings in at $1,096. For that you get four cores, HyperThreading, and 3.0GHz of speed.
The full list of changes can be seen in the image. If it has a (SB) notation, it means it is based off of the Sandy Bridge silicon.
LeakedTT: AMD 'Vishera' FX-Series CPU specifications confirmed
Looking for a new CPU? You may just want to hold off for a little bit longer, at least until you see what AMD is planning to bring to the table. Thanks to leaks, we can now provide you with an idea of what they may be planning for their Vishera line of FX CPUs, set to launch in Q3 or Q4 of 2012.
The launch plan looks to be similar to the launch plans of "Zambezi" in that they are launching one eight-core CPU, one six-core CPU, and one quad-core CPU. The launch of Vishera is supposed to be coordinated with the launch of their new APUs using the same processing core, Piledriver, which is an updated Bulldozer.
The eight-core FX-8350 will ship with a 4.00 GHz clock speed, with a speed of 4.20 GHz for TurboCore. The six-core FX-6300 will ship with a clock speed 3.50 GHz, and a 4.10 GHz TurboCore speed. The quad-core FX-4320 will feature the same clocks as the FX-8350 with half the cores. The document also provides some more information on AMD's upcoming APUs.
Upcoming Intel server parts revealed, details chipset and processor plans
Intel's server parts are expensive, but they are worth it if you're running a mission critical application. Currently, the server chips are based off of the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture and it looks as though it will be staying that way for a while longer. Ivy Bridge-based server parts aren't due out until 2013, according to the latest roadmap.
The upcoming server platforms are called Brickland and Grantley and which one you use will be dependent on what sort of applications and processing power you are looking to utilize. Brickland will be used for mission critical applications and is set to support three generations of CPUs all the way through to Broadwell in 2015.
Grantley will be for efficient performance and won't debut until after the Ivy Bridge generation. The first chip that Grantley will support is the 22nm Haswell server variant. They will also be introducing a new storage controller which will bring performance and feature improvements. We should learn more as of Intel's upcoming meeting in San Francisco.
RumorTT: Intel's Haswell package options for desktop and mobile
CPU World is reporting the different configurations that Intel's upcoming Haswell processors will come in, with respect to graphics core, memory channels, and processing cores. Some of the configurations break from the current Ivy Bridge in that the highest performance CPUs don't have the highest performing GPUs.
This actually makes sense in that a user who buys a top CPU will likely be running a discrete GPU. Intel is offering at least two different graphics configurations which will be joined to dual- and quad-core parts. The dual-core parts will also have a variation in that they may only come with one memory channel.
The graphic above summarizes the different configurations we are reportedly going to see with Haswell. Each memory channel will support either one or two DIMMs, with the ULT (low power) chips seeing the one DIMM per channel memory controller. Each DIMM will have a maximum capacity of 8GB, so the lowest amount of memory (or highest, depending on point of view) will be 8GB on the ULTs.
We're still a good distance from the release of Haswell, so it's a good idea to take these configurations with a grain of salt. That said, they do make sense, so it's not unlikely that they are accurate.
ARM inks multi-year deal with Globalfoundries to produce efficient 20nm chips
Globalfoundries has just inked a multi-year deal with mobile chipmaker, ARM. The deal will see Globalfoundries produce ARM's next-generation mobile system-on-chip (SoC) processors.
Glofo's factories are equipped to handle 20nm and FinFET process technologies, with the deal also calling on ARM to develop its Artisan Physical IP platform, which includes cell libraries, memory compilers, and POP IP solutions.
The chips that will be made will be baked into future smart devices, and ultra-thin notebooks. ARM and Globalfoundries have been working together for a few years now, where we've seen them developing ARM Cortex A-series processors at Glofo's Malta, New York fab. The new deal should see the companies working on more energy-efficient ARM Cortex CPUs and ARM Mali GPUs for mobile devices.
Samsung unveils Exynos 5 Dual, the world's first Cortex A15 SoC
Samsung have just announced their brand new Exynos 5250 SoC, which is now called the Exynos 5 Dual. Samsung's Exynos 5 Dual is the world's first Cortex A15-based chip, and should be baked into devices later this year. The first of which should be Samsung's 11.8-inch tablet that sports the 2560x1600 resolution, that we've talked about a few times now. The important specs are:
- Dual-core 1.7 Ghz Cortex A15 CPU
- Mali T604 GPU
- OpenGL ES 3.0
- OpenCL 1.1 full profile
- Support for WXQGA displays
- Wi-Fi display support

Monday, Second Week of Advent
It is good to praise the Lord
and make music to your name, O most High,
to proclaim your love in the morning
and your faithfulness at night,
to the music of the ten-stringed lyre
and the melody of the harp.
For you make me glad by your deeds, o Lord;
I sing for joy at the works of Your hands.
–Psalm 92:1-4
For some people, the holidays begin with religious services or spiritual traditions. For others, it begins with seeing lights and decorations. For me, it has always begun with music. When I was little, I used to think music was the language angels speak. I don't really still believe that, but I do know that music has been something that has defined my life for as far back as I can remember. So as soon as I heard holiday music on the radio, or as soon as Hamilton Choir began rehearsing songs for our Christmas mass, Advent began for me.
Christmas Eve is spent at my godfamily's house in Redhook, Brooklyn. They always have close friends of theirs over as well, mostly adults, while the younger children run to their basement and cause their own trouble. My favorite part of the night is when my godmother goes to the piano, distributes thin black music folders to whoever wants one, and begins playing Christmas carols while we all sing along. Usually by that point I've talked so much already that my voice is half gone, but that doesn't stop me from joining them. Often someone makes a mistake and we all laugh but keep powering through the song smiling with solidarity, love, and laughter.
Even when we're done caroling, the music doesn't stop. Their daughter, a junior in high school and a massive musical theater nut, joins me as I go to the piano and begin playing show tunes as she sings along. Maybe I play a common pop song everyone knows, something from the Beatles or maybe "What a Wonderful World." Already guests begin leaving before she and I are done. The love we all experience in music around that piano is something that I look forward to every year and am never disappointed by.
Some friends say I've sold my soul to music. If I have, that happened many years ago, and I would never change that for the world. Especially in the Advent season.
--Dom Veconi '15

In October, 1997, the First Year Program will travel to Newport to observe
the transformation in society over two centuries, from Americas Colonial
origins to its great industrial strength during the Gilded Age. Founded
in 1623 by settlers seeking religious freedom, the city later gained wealth
through the Triangle Trade [dealing in African slaves, West-Indian sugar,
and Newport rum] and also through trade with the Far East. The city
boasts one of the first libraries, the oldest extant synagogue, homes of
Governors, and mansions of the American social elite who built huge summer
cottages for the Newport season. Dedicated preservation of the
citys buildings allows fascinating insights into the uses of wealth, social
stratification, religion, taste, gender roles, and sources of artistic
inspiration. Such a study reflects the First Year Programs theme,
In a world of contradictions, how then shall we live?
Unless otherwise noted, all photographs are by Virginia C. Raguin, Professor of Art History, College of the Holy Cross.

Château-sur-Mer Built in 1852, although large, the house is not a summer collage, but a family residence. The owner, William Wetmore made his wealth in the China trade, then used it to found a banking company. His son, George Peabody Wetmore, graduated Yale and Columbia Law school, later to become twice governor of Rhode Island and U. S. senator. In 1870 he engaged Richard Morris Hunt, in the first of his great Newport commissions, to enlarge and modernize the house

Marble House 1892: Both the design and the furnishing of the lavish house owe much to Alva Erskine Smith, who had married William K. Vanderbilt. She told the architect Richard Morris Hunt her models and her requirements. The rooms show extremely purposeful and correct emulation of predominately French Baroque and Rococo models that Alva knew from her pre-marriage life in France. The House itself is based on the Petit Trianon at Versailles. She bought paintings showing portraits of French royalty. In 1914 she built a Chinese Teahouse overlooking the ocean as the final touch to the estate.

American Suburban Style: Shingle and Stick styles of architecture
Used by McKim Mead and White (also Boston Public Library) and H. H. Richardson (Trinity Church, Boston). These styles set the standard for the detached suburban home found through the United States, including Worcester. These are large, comfortable buildings 1850s-1900, with large wrap around porches, broad foyers with curved stairs, and open, flowing spaces for much communication among the room and relaxed living.
The Breakers, a summer collage of Cornelius Vanderbilt (1843-1899), grandson of Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt (1794-1877), founder of the family fortune based first on steam boats, then railroads. The Commodore acquired control of the Hudson River Railroad and New York Central Railroad. Richard Morris Hunt, architect of many of the great homes in Newport, designed the Breakers after Italian Renaissance models, with a large central court, that functioned as a ball room, and open-air loggias looking over the sea.

A 26-man contingent of SC Villa players, technical staff and management travel to Kigali, Rwanda today aboard Rwandair for a five day visit under the auspices of the Rwanda government. The Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), the nation's army that ended the 1994 genocide was formed back in 1987 and will be celebrating 25 years of existence with a string of activities over the coming week.
This will include football matches that Villa will play in. The invitation of Villa to this occasion follows the support that Rwandan President Paul Kagame has had towards the Jogoos dating back to his days living in Uganda as one of the soldiers that fought in the NRA during the bush war that overthrew the Milton Obote rule back in 1986.
Alongside him was another soldier Fred Rwigyema, who was another ardent Villa fan but died during the war that brought the RPF into power in 1994. The Villa team will be led by club chairman, Fred Muwema and they return on December 19.

It will also consider the institutional structure of the French art world, focusing on the École des Beaux-Arts, the Salon and debates about Realism and the Academic Ideal.
Finally, by analysing representation in relation to the key themes of class, gender and ethnicity, the module will locate artistic practice within the social-political terrain of the period.

I knew it was only a matter of time. Back when the iPhone was first released the only apps on the device was those created by Apple. It didn't take the company long to roll out the ability for third party developers to create an ecosystem that would take the platform to new heights.

CALLING ALL cosmologists. Your mental dexterity with antimatter, black holes and the like could come in handy at the negotiations for an agreement on saving the world's climate, set to climax next month in Kyoto, Japan. Negotiators back from the latest talks in Bonn report a litany of terms that only the Stephen Hawkings of this world are likely to get their heads round.
First there are the meetings known to UN-ologists as nonmeetings. They have nonchairpeople and don't officially exist. They complement the recent innovation of UN climate scientists, reported exclusively here on 2 August, to produce a "zeroth draft" of a report which, logically enough, comes before the first draft.
One topic discussed at the nonmeetings in Bonn was future rights to "hot air". Hot air is the theoretical nonemission of greenhouse gases by unnamed countries. The US would like to buy up as much hot air as ...

Friday, stages, lighting and scaffolding we're being put up along
Everything including Aztec dancing, gospel, jazz, hip-hop, opera and Brazilian dancing will be showcased on five stages. Two of those will be inside with air conditioning when it gets hot.
There will be a cooking stage across from the Center for Southern Folklore during the day but by night it transforms into a DJ booth.
Judy Peiser started the fair in 1982 and says its time to celebrate you.
"It's the one time in the year where you can really celebrate yourself. You can celebrate where you live and be proud of it," Peiser said.
They expect over 40,000 people over the weekend long event.
Vendors and stages will stretch along
The free festival runs Saturday from and Sunday from 11 am to 11 pm.

Hot Shoes Hot Off Press; Yours For Free.
Joe McNally has been slaving away on his recent book. It's now done and only weeks away from being released. I share the same publisher as luminaries like Joe, Vincent Versace, and Scott Kelby. How I got past the selection committee for this club I have no idea, but if I keep my head down and not make too much noise I'm hoping they'll never discover the error of their ways. I digress. Joe's book is coming and the fine folks at Peachpit Press are giving away three copies of The Hotshoe Diaries, Big Light From Small Flashes.
All you have to do to get in on the action is leave a comment with your name, your email in the email field, and give me your word that you'll download the PDF sample material of the book (you can do that by clicking HERE, which will download the PDF). Joe knows his stuff and whether you use off-camera strobes a lot or only a little, you will learn much about the quality of light that will only benefit you, even if you're one of those natural-light-only purist types.
Following 2 months after the release of The Hotshoe Diaries will be Within The Frame, a book that has the dubious distinctions of both being abbreviated as WTF, and being written by me. So when WTF comes out, we'll do another giveaway. Or maybe I'll lean on Joe and let him do the honours on his blog
Ok, free Joe books. Who's in?
As always, this is a randomn draw. I'll pick 3 names on or near the official release of the book, email you for your address, and ship these when they arrive here from the publishers.

Motobecane Moped
Ran across a 1977 Motobecane Moped today at a garage sale. Appears to be in real nice condition but will need some carb cleaning. (Won't idle.) Tires look as new, paint is good, nothing appears missing. The little fellar has a 1000 miles on the odometer.
I can't find anything concerning value of these French tiddlers.
Owner is asking $350.00....I'm thinking more like $200.00?
Any Motobecane experts out there?
My brother's friend got a similar Motobecane at a garage sale last year for $100. It was only in "OK" condition and had running issues. Not sure if he ever did get it working properly.
Finally got my crappy cell phone photos to load.
The lower side panels are with the bike but not installed.
It has one odd hand grip.
good mopeds, capable of 40mph stock
clean the little gurtner carb out, flush the tank, some fresh premix (i use 40:1 on a stock bike), a new plug, and bobs your uncle.
350 is an OKAY price, but 200 ish is a deal, dont plan on "flipping" for much more money, mopeds are more a labor of love, than a profit deal (the moped resurgance hay day was in 2008) i used to have 150 mopeds, id buy and sell and customize, and hop em up. it was a sicness, ive now been "cured" and only have 2.
parts are available from
http://www.myronsmopeds.com/ hes a box stock moped parts dealer, will have basically anything u need in stock form
https://www.treatland.tv/new-puch-pe...parts-s/88.htm a great sort for anything aftermaket for any moped, or universal items, (gips, chains, tires, etc)
as for "experts" this guy is about the best thing going in the french moped world stateside, his name is christophe, and hes a damn maniac on a french bike.
hope that helps.
Thanks, good info.
I think it would be a fun little toy to play with, as long as I don't run into undisclosed problems.
I ran into a number of mopeds in various states of disrepair a few years ago. The guy thought they were worth a lot of money and they were all in need of serious work. He wanted $200.00 each for 3 of them.
I talked with a guy a couple weeks ago who was riding a cool little Chinese built moped. He had bored it out to like 90cc's or so. It was a 4 stroke Honda clone looking engine. The thing sounded pretty strong when he took off down the street.
BUY IT. If it is in decent condition and has not been mangled in a crash, or the gas tank is not rusted out it is worth twice the price. What you have there is a Moby 50V, commonly called a Mobylette. While they were made by the millions back in the '60s and '70s, not to many decent ones still exist today. The Gurtner carbs are finicky, and so are the electrics, but they are a lot of fun to tinker with and ride. Parts are still available for them. I would gladly trade my 1977 Puch for a nice one.
Back in 1978, a guy named Walter Muma rode one of these 11,500 miles across Canada and Alaska.
These are French, so they do require a little more "owner involvement" than a German moped like the Puch, but they also have a charm that very few other mopeds have.

TANZANIA is thinking of asking the British government to reintroduce British Airways' (BA) direct flights between Dar es Salaam and London in view of an increased number of tourists from Britain, which is currently the leading source of tourists visiting the country.
Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Minister, Mr Bernard Membe, said Tanzania would also ask the UK to allow the British High Commission in Dar es Salaam to issue visas, unlike now where visa processing is done through Nairobi, Kenya.
BA announced in March, last year, that it was pulling its services out of Tanzania, attributing the move to low profitability. The airline used to operate flights between Heathrow and Julius Nyerere International Airports for almost four decades. "Now that we have multinationals such as BG and Ophir from UK involved in the exploration for oil and gas, we think it is high time BA resumed direct flights.
This will also encourage more tourists from that country to visit Tanzania," the minister said. Mr Membe, who was in the company of Minister for Natural Resources and Tourism, Mr Lazaro Nyalandu, was speaking at a joint news conference with British Foreign Office Minister for Africa, Mr Mark Simmonds, who was in the country for a two-day official visit.
Back in the year 2008, the UK introduced new changes in the processing of visa applications where its high commission in Nairobi was given the mandate to process the travel permit for the East African region while Pretoria handles southern African countries.
However, Mr Membe said the government of Tanzania would ask the British government to reconsider its decisions on the processing of travel permits as well as the reintroduction of direct BA flights. Tourist companies in Tanzania had noted with concerns that closure of BA operations would decrease tourist flows into Tanzania.
The airline had been the most reliable passenger carrier between Tanzania, UK and the United States. Mr Simmonds said his country was committed to working in partnership with Tanzania to increase bilateral trade and investment, support development and generate prosperity for both countries.
The minister's visit to Tanzania had three items on its agenda. These included a review of development cooperation between the two countries, efforts by Tanzania in the anti-poaching drive, as well as the peace and security situation in the Great Lakes region.
During his visit he met with the Minister for East African Cooperation, Mr Samuel Sitta, Minister for Agriculture, Food and Cooperatives, Mr Christopher Chiza, and Minister in the Prime Minister's Office (Investment and Empowerment), Ms Mary Nagu.
The United Kingdom is the leading investor in Tanzania, with 35 per cent of foreign direct investments (FDIs). British companies, according to the Tanzania Investment Centre (TIC), invested around US $5.1 billion (about 8.4trl/-) between 1990 and 2013, creating over 200,000 jobs.
On the other hand, bilateral trade between the two countries was worth US $340 million (about 561bn/-). British firms play an important role in sectors such as energy, communications, construction, banking, agriculture, and the nascent oil and gas sector.

Help: permits for using oven on a sidewalk
Hi All,
My fiance and I are hiring a pizza restaurant to bring their portable wood burning oven to make pizza for our wedding. They've told me that they need permits from the city/fire department but they don't know what those permits are. We are in New York City (Brooklyn, to be precise). Does anyone know what I need to get?
Thanks, Maeve
Re: Help: permits for using oven on a sidewalk
Hi Mae241,
Contact the fire department to ask but, please don't use their emergency number.
Look in the city directory for an engineering, safety or permits department. Ask them.
Re: Help: permits for using oven on a sidewalk
You might want to stroll down to your local fire station. Those are the people who will be enforcing this. If they don't know, call 311.
I keep coming back to the thought that it's up to to vendor to get the appropriate permits.

This selection of works focuses on family, domestic space, and the urban landscape. It brings together photographs from various traditions—including Conceptualism, still life, and social documentary—as well as a piece by a male quilter. Although they represent several generations of artists, often with differing creative practices and intents, these works each tell a story—sometimes obvious, sometimes implicit. Frequently they picture the home, especially the bedroom, encouraging us to contemplate the personal and private moments that make up a life. Shown together, these works ask us to think critically about the role played by the artist, particularly the photographer, in the creation and shaping of a narrative.

Salta is a city in northwestern Argentina and the capital city of the Salta Province. With a population of 464,678 inhabitants as of the , it is Argentina's 8th largest city.
It is situated in the Lerma Valley, 1,152 meters above sea level, at the foothills of the Andes mountains.
The weather is warm and dry, with annual averages of 756 mm of rainfall and an average temperature of 16.4 °C (20.4 °C in summer, 10.8 °C in winter). January and February are the months with greatest rainfall. During the spring, Salta is occasionally plagued by severe, week long dust storms.
Nicknamed Salta la Linda ("Salta the Pretty"), it has become a major tourist destination due to its old, colonial architecture and the natural scenery of the valleys westward. Attractions in the city proper include the 18th century Cabildo, the neo-classical style Cathedral, and the July 9th central square. The city's museums exhibit a wide range of artifacts and art work from the native civilations that flourished in the area, as well as from the 16th century Spanish conquest and the colonial and post-colonial periods. Salta is also the starting point of the "Train to the Clouds" (Tren a las nubes), and on the way to red-soiled Cafayate, as well as to other nearby tourist destinations.
The Martín Miguel de Güemes Airport , at coordinates , 6 kilometres southeast of the city, has regular flights to Buenos Aires, Tucumán, Jujuy, Córdoba and Santa Cruz de la Sierra (Bolivia).
Salta was founded on April 16 1582 by the Spanish conquistador Hernando de Lerma, who intended the settlement to be an outpost between Lima (Peru) and Buenos Aires.
During the war of independence, the city became a commercial and military strategic point between Peru and the Argentine cities. Between 1816 and 1821, the city was led by local military leader General Martín Miguel de Güemes, who under the command of General José de San Martín, defended the city and surrounding area from Spanish forces coming from further north.
Salta emerged from the War of Independence politically in disarray and financially bankrupt, a condition that lingered throughout much of the 19th century. However, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the arrival of Italian, Spanish and Arab immigrants, particularly Syrians and Lebanese, revived trade and agriculture all over the area while further enhancing the city's multicultural flavor.996
The city center features a number of impressive buildings dating back to the 18th and 19th and early 20th centuries. Clockwise around the 9th July Square are the neoclassical Cathedral, the French style Museum of Contemporary Art, the Cabildo (in former times, the city's town hall, nowadays a historical museum) and the Museum of High Mountain Archeology, which houses artifacts from the Inca civilization including the magnifically preserved bodies of three Inca children.
Within walking distance of the 9th July Square are the impressive Saint Francis Church and the city's two pedestrian streets: Alberdi and Florida. The three blocks in Balcarce street closest to the train station are now the center of night life in Salta, with restaurants, pubs and cafés on both sidewalks and concerts every night.
Rising imposingly in the east is San Bernardo Hill. Its summit, from which visitors can get an awe-inspiring view of the city and the entire valley, can be reached by car, cable car or stairway.
Salta residents, just like most Argentinians, are very enthusiastic about football; the most important local clubs are: Juventud Antoniana, Gimnasia y Tiro de Salta and Central Norte. All three of them are followed by many faithful fans. Juventud Antoniana and Central Norte currently play at third division, while Gimnasia y Tiro plays in the fourth division. Other popular sports are baseball (a game in which Salta players excel nationally), basketball, volleyball, rugby and mountaineering.
Another particular feature of Salta is the way it has preserved its traditional Hispanic heritage. Folklore activities - cuisine, colonial architecture, music, dancing, and other customs - are widely spread and practised by its people.
One of the main activities in Salta is the April Culture Festival, which lasts the entire month and offers a wide variety of activities, such as culture display performances, handcrafts exposition, and live orchestra performances.

Phoenix Suns
Jerry Colangelo offers advice for struggling teams
Former Phoenix Suns owner Jerry Colangelo never really presided over a level of on-court failure the team is seeing these days.
Sure, his Suns had some down years -- 29 wins in 2003-04, 36 wins in 2001-02, 28 victories in 1987-88 -- but they were rarely consecutive and rarely this bad.
The Suns, who have the third-worst record in the NBA at 24-55, are on pace for the second-worst mark in franchise history, and this is after failing to reach the playoffs in each of the last two seasons.
However, if Colangelo feels there have been some mis-steps along the way by the team's current management group, or if he feels like he knows how to fix the team, he's not really saying.
When asked by Arizona Sports 620's Doug and Wolf Thursday about what the best way for a once-proud but struggling franchise to get back on track, Colangelo was admittedly vague.
"I'm going to give you a general statement answer, which is this," he said. "There are no shortcuts in life, it's only hard work, you roll up your sleeves, you go to work every day, you do the best you can, you analyze what you have, you analyze your options and you try to make the right decisions.
"But there's no easy fix, there just isn't."
Colangelo, though, said "it's difficult" for a team to make a quick comeback without the benefit of some luck.
"Unless you get hit by lightning or you hit a pot of gold, but that's few and far between," he said, before adding a bit of optimism. "The good news is, in basketball, you can do it with two or three players.
"They can come back that fast."
Colangelo said it's one of the benefits of basketball compared to other sports, and then he offered advice to any team in that type of situation.
"Stick together, bust your hump, don't be afraid to take risks, don't be afraid to fail," he said. "And be a little opportunistic."

bkleynbok, the equivalent of your View-setting code in the new object model is: string viewName = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator().SelectSingleNode("//mstns:D_VIEW", NamespaceManager).Value; e.SetDefaultView(viewName); - Ned
(Thanks for correcting an original version of this comment, I've deleted your correction and updated this to make it easier to read for future comers)
bkleynbok, the way to submit through code in the new object model is: DataConnections("NAME AS ENTERED IN THE DATA CONNECTION WIZARD").Execute(); If you have a connection that can be used for both submit and query, then you can cast it to the appropirate type first to control what Execute does. For example, the following will submit a database connection: ((AdoSubmitConnection)DataConnections("NAME")).Execute();

XmlNamespaceManager ns = this.NamespaceManager;
XPathNavigator xnCustomer = dsCustomers.CreateNavigator();
