Innovation, imagination, and real-world results are key characteristics of the pace-setting creative work selected to be on the shortlist for the 10th anniversary IAB MIXX Awards. After weeks of review by a panel of digital media and marketing luminaries, the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) has unveiled the finalists for these prestigious awards – each of which reflects the finest work in digital advertising today, while also pointing to the trends that will drive tomorrow's interactive arena. The shortlist includes 120 cutting-edge campaigns hailing from 11 countries from around the world.
Jeff Benjamin, currently Chief Creative Officer of JWT North America, is chairing the IAB MIXX Awards 2014 judging panel, guiding 32 cross-industry leaders, including the best-of-the-best agency creatives, blue-chip brand marketers, and top media publishing executives.
"The real power behind the IAB MIXX Awards is in its distinct ability to look not only at imaginative creative, but also at what actually works in digital advertising and how those ideas deliver on their promise," said Benjamin. "Companies and individuals that have made the shortlist have received this honor because their work goes well beyond the artistry they brought to digital screens. These nominations celebrate interactive work that found its way into culture and really mattered, pulling consumers off the sidelines and getting them to participate with brands in extraordinary ways."
"The shortlist for the 10th anniversary IAB MIXX Awards spotlights campaigns that confirm the sophisticated creativity that is now the hallmark of digital marketing," said David Doty, Executive Vice President and CMO, IAB. "Interactive has become central to the marketing mix across the globe, and these nominees exemplify a new breed of digital advertising that embraces artistry, interaction, and rich storytelling with style and scale."
The finalists and winners are honored each year at the IAB MIXX Awards Show, a dinner reception and celebration that is the culmination of the preeminent two-day IAB MIXX Conference held during Advertising Week in New York City. The 2014 event will take place at the Crowne Plaza Hotel Times Square (1605 Broadway at 49th Street) on Tuesday, September 30, and will commemorate the 10th anniversary of the competition.
This past year, for the first time, the IAB encapsulated lessons learned from the year's best work in "What Works & Why: IAB MIXX Awards Insights Report 2013." It includes expert commentary from digital industry superstars, including Benjamin and 16 other notables from the 2013 jury. They provide a deep dive into a curated collection of select winning campaigns. To see the complete gallery of past award-winners, please visit iab.net/mixxawards/gallery2013/.

Malicious agents are moving faster than the speed of business. Even more worrisome, most companies are relying on legacy approaches to security that are no longer capable of meeting current threats. In the modern cloud, threat diversity is rapidly expanding, necessitating more sophisticated security protocols than those used in the past or in desktop environments. Yet companies are falling for cloud security myths that were truths at one time but have evolved out of existence.

Continuing yesterday, June 30: After we all freshened up after the hike, we walked to Yo! Sushi for dinner. It was one of those places where they have small plates going around on a conveyor belt with color coded pricing, and we each ordered some hot food and chose some plates off the belt. We had a little discussion about the latitude of Boston vs. Edinburgh (because of the fact that it stays light out until 10 PM here and gets light again at 4 AM), but we decided ...

Bettman upholds 15-game suspension for Thornton
Dec 24, 2013, 12:36 PM EDT
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman has upheld the 15-game suspension given to Bruins forward Shawn Thornton for what NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan originally deemed an "act of retribution" on Penguins defenseman Brooks Orpik.
Click here for a PDF of Bettman's ruling, in which the commissioner disagrees with the NHLPA's contention that Thornton should have been suspended in the range of 10 to 12 games.
Wrote Bettman in his decision: "While I am prepared to accept Mr. Thornton's testimony that at the time the whistle blew he had no specific intention of targeting Mr. Orpik (and may not have even realized he was on the ice), I believe it is very apparent from the video that given the scrum and his recognition of Mr. Orpik's presence on the ice, Mr. Thornton recognized an opportunity to exact the retribution that was denied him when Mr. Orpik earlier had declined his invitation to fight. He casually skated up behind Mr. Orpik and took him down under circumstances in which the latter 'never had a chance' to defend himself. Interestingly (and disturbingly), Mr. Thornton testified at the hearing that he knew exactly what he was doing and that he was in complete control of his emotions."
Bettman concluded, "In these circumstances, I have no trouble concluding that a very lengthy suspension is warranted and that the decision to impose a fifteen (15) game suspension is supported by clear and convincing evidence. In fact, in light of all the circumstances relating to the underlying conduct, it is certainly possible to argue for a more severe punishment, but I am comfortable relying on Mr. Shanahan's judgment."
Now that Bettman has upheld the suspension, Thornton has a week to decide if he wants to appeal to a neutral discipline arbitrator, whose decision would "be final and binding in all respects and not subject to review," per the CBA.
The Bruins released the following statement on Bettman's ruling:
"We respect the process including the ability to attend the hearing with Commissioner Bettman in support of Shawn. At this time, we will decline comment until the process is complete and Shawn has exhausted all rights available to him."

This Is The Alleged "Secret Menu" At McDonald's
The dollar menu may be dead (RIP), but you can still allegedly order these top-secret McDonald's items.
1. The Pie McFlurry
"Order a Pie and a McFlurry. Next, ask them politely if they could blend it in with your McFlurry of choice for an amazing 'Pie McFlurry.'"
2. The "McGangBang"
"Request a double cheeseburger, and have a second bun placed between the two pieces of beef. Inside of this bun rests a McChicken patty."
3. The "McCrepe"
"Order some hotcakes, and a yogurt parfait. Ask them to scoop the fruit on top of the hotcake along with granola."
4. The "Mc 10:35"
"Order a McDouble and a regular egg McMuffin. Omit bread from the McDouble and stick those patties and cheese right into the McMuffin."
5. Biscuits and gravy
Allegedly, some McDonalds locations will give you this.
6. Neopolitan milkshake
"Simply walk up to the counter and ask for a 'Neapolitan Shake,' which is vanilla, chocolate and strawberry blended together."
7. The "Land, Air and Sea Burger"
"Ask for a Big Mac, a McChicken and a Filet-O-Fish burger to be put on the same bun."
8. The "Monster Mac"
"Just ask for a Big Mac with 8 beef patties – and you've got the Monster Mac."
9. The "McKinley Mac"
"Walk up to the counter and ask for a 'McKinley Mac.' If they are unfamiliar, tell them that you want quarter pound patties in your Big Mac."
10. Grilled Cheese
Obviously: "Ask for a bun with cheese in it, grilled, instead of a burger patty."
11. Root Beer Float
"Ask for a scoop of vanilla soft serve in your root beer."
A McDonald's representative declined to comment on specific menu items to BuzzFeed, saying:
"Our fans like to customize our menu in many unique ways. It's important to remember that participation varies from restaurant to restaurant as McDonald's franchisees are independent business owners."

Medical Marijuana: Montana Cannabis Under Fire From Feds
The Department of Justice's crackdown on California medical marijuana might be the most well known in the country, but it's worth paying attention to legal developments in Montana, where U.S. Attorneys are also doing battle with dispensaries.
As detailed by the Helena Independent Record, federal prosectors don't want suspects involved in medical marijuana sales to be able to use Montana state law -- which OKs curative cannabis -- as a legal defense.
So, they are trying to ban any mention of prescription pot -- and any talk of weed-legalizing state statute -- from this and any similar cases.
They counter that the case, which involves Helena-based Montana Cannabis, "is a straightforward matter of illegal drug distribution," the paper notes.
In a legal brief, in fact, U.S. Assistant Attorney Joe Thaggard argued: "The intertwined subjects of medical marijuana, Montana law, and medical necessity have no relevance to determining whether the government has proven the crimes charged in the indictment...Marijuana is a Schedule I controlled substance under federal law ... and can't be dispensed under a prescription."
Defense lawyers for Montana Cannabis' Chris Williams and Chris Lindsey dispute the feds' account and legal strategy.
They say that Williams and Lindsey started selling medical marijuana only after federal officials -- even President Barack Obama -- said that the issue was a "low priority for prosectors."
So, Williams and Lindsey argue, sudden Federal scrutiny constitutes as entrapment.
"It's unprecedented that the United States has filed a motion trying to prohibit a defense, but in these medical marijuana cases that's their line of thinking," Michael Donahoe, a federal defense attorney, said. "I want to be frank -- the government is wrong here. This was entrapment."
The U.S. District Court Judge handling the case, Dana Christensen, is currently trying to decide whether to allow mention of medical marijuana.
The trial is set to begin in late September.

Firefighters used power tools to free a woman impaled in the thigh by two metal spears on church fence this morning.
Emergency services were called to Pitt St in the central city about 5.15am after the woman became stuck on a fence at Pitt Street Methodist Church.
Fire Service senior station officer Sulu Devoe said the woman was in "real agony" when he arrived and was being supported by her partner, who was standing in the church grounds supporting her weight.
He said there was no way the woman could have freed herself, even with her partner's help.
The palings were lodged about 5cm to 7cm into her right leg.
"The spikes had gone in right on the top of her thigh, in the crotch area... she must have got one leg over the fence and then slipped and her weight has thrown her onto the spikes," Devoe said.
"She was in great pain and was going into shock."
The woman, believed to be in her 20, was given pain relief before fire and ambulance staff helped to support her weight while others used a small disk cutter and a hydraulic cutter to free her.
Because the palings were close together, cutting her free was "quite difficult" and took the fire crew about 30 minutes.
Water was used to cool the cutting tools and prevent the metal spikes from heating up and burning the woman.
"She was in an awkward position and because the palings were so jammed up, so close together, cutting them was difficult," Devoe said.
He wasn't sure if both palings were removed from the woman's leg before she was taken to Auckland City Hospital.
"One or two were still attached to her... definitely one of them."
Devoe said he wasn't sure what the couple were doing at the church, or if they were intoxicated.
No trespassing signs were visible, he said.
A hospital spokesman said the woman suffered two puncture wounds and was treated at the emergency department.
He said the woman's injuries were "pretty minor" and she was in a stable condition.
The woman was expected to be discharged from the hospital later today.
The Fire Service had left the scene by 6am.
Police did not attend the incident and the church could not yet be reached for comment.

Anders Brevik applies to study political science at the University of Oslo
Staff at the university said there may be some discomfort at having the convicted mass murderer as a student, but they would have to follow the normal applications procedures
Charlotte McDonald-Gibson

Tuesday 30 July 2013
Anders Behring Breivik, the right-wing extremist who killed 77 people in a bombing and shooting rampage in Norway two years ago, has applied to study political science at the University of Oslo.
Breivik, who is serving 21 years for the massacre at a Labour Party youth camp on Utoya Island and the Oslo bombing, argued that his actions were politically motivated, and since his incarceration has tried to set up a organisation aimed at "democratic fascist seizure of power in Norway".
That request was turned down in May because of incomplete paperwork, but the director of the prison holding Breivik said his request to study would likely be approved.
"The prison will always try to pave the way for inmates to get a formal education, so that they are able to get a job when they come out," Knut Bjarkeid, director of Ila Prison, was quoted as saying on the Norwegian news website, The Local.
Despite the shocking nature of Breivik's crimes – most of his victims were teenagers – the Norwegian authorities have stressed that he must be treated in the same way as any other convict. The government has been praised for refusing to compromise national ideals of fairness and justice in the face of such provocative acts.
Staff at the university said there may be some discomfort at having Breivik as a student, but they would have to follow the normal applications procedures.

"I understand that there will be reactions – it is human," Ole Petter Ottersen, the University's rector, told The Local. But he added: "We cannot refuse anyone the chance of studying".
Survivors of Breivik's rampage, meanwhile, are determined to make sure his intended legacy of wiping out the next generation of Labour politicians will never become a reality. Twenty-seven of them are standing for election in polls in early September.
The announcement of their candidacy came as Norway this month marked the two-year anniversary of the attacks, with the Prime Minister, Jens Stoltenberg, speaking out against extremism but vowing to make sure Norway remained an open and democratic society.

Build a Living based on What You Know and Love
Writers are always told 'write what you know.' My journey from corporate America to entrepreneurship began in a similar vein in 2001 with a rather familiar task – clearing out unwanted items from my house. I wanted my son to get rid of the video games he had long conquered, and he suggested selling them to make money for some new ones. It was a no-brainer to at least list the video games on eBay – why not make a couple of bucks while we cleared out some clutter? When those games sold for far more than I expected, some quite close to their retail prices, selling online also became a natural solution to the near-universal need for more closet space. While I had many outfits that had "run their course" in my fashion rotation, they were still in excellent shape and would look great on someone who could give them a second lease on life.
Online selling started off as an enjoyable hobby of mine, one I often shared with friends, who began to ask me to sell their own items. They told me, "Linda, you know what the clothes might sell for," "You know how to market different kinds of fashion," and "You can get it done much quicker than I can through a consignment store." I knew they were right, so my response was "why not?" Word of mouth referrals soon spurred growth of my store on eBay from an enjoyable diversion, to a part-time business operation, to a fulltime job.
At the time I was working as an attorney, a profession I enjoyed because of the stability it offered, but it never truly excited and motivated me. When I started selling online, I very quickly realized that I had unknowingly stumbled across an opportunity to dedicate myself to a business I was truly passionate about – and this was noticed by others around me too.
When my husband suggested he quit his job and proposed we take my business to the next level, I balked at first. We had a mortgage. We had kids to put through school. What would we do without the stability of a guaranteed paycheck and the benefits that keep people on the corporate treadmill? How far out on this limb would we have to go before we started seeing results? What would our family and friends think when we told them about our plan? But I didn't have much time to let these doubts ruminate, because our business soon took off.
As eBay began to grow into the world's largest online marketplace, my business and I grew along with it, evolving my business from an auction-style outlet to an online retail destination. For instance, thanks to a new "fixed price best option" buying choice, my buyers felt they were getting a bargain, and I not only converted a sale but also gained insight into just how hot or cold the market was for certain items.
I was able to adjust my inventory and my prices and deliver to shoppers what they wanted. And, the shoppers responded by buying more, but more importantly, by spreading word about my store that reached far beyond the U.S. and even to celebrities like Paula Abdul, who partnered with me in selling items from her closet for charity.
Not all parts of my story have been as exciting, and I wasn't always prepared for what seemed like the next step. Moving into our new 25,000 square-foot warehouse was a special time for me, not only because it represented the success that had been brought on by blood, sweat and tears, but also because each prior move into a larger space had come only after a long period of resistance by me, as it always seemed to come "too soon."
As an entrepreneur, I have realized growth will always bring new challenges and I embrace the idea my business will evolve. With the right tools, patience and a deep love for what you want to do, the possibilities for the would-be entrepreneur are endless.

After months of heavy criticism, the conservative tea party group FreedomWorks has called a truce with Mitt Romney and has given him a semi-endorsement. From the Washington Times:
FreedomWorks, which organized the Sept. 12, 2009, mass demonstration on the Mall, says that while it will not give an explicit endorsement, the time has come for Republicans to unite around the former Massachusetts governor and focus on defeating President Obama.
"It is a statistical fact that the numbers favor Mitt Romney," FreedomWorks Vice President Russ Walker told The Times on Tuesday. "We are dedicated to defeating Obama and electing a conservative Senate that will help Romney repeal Obamacare and address the nation's economic and spending challenges."

It sure looks like it. Thomas Rabe, who became CEO of Europe's largest media company in January, said today that an IPO is one option to help "reshape Bertelsmann over the next five to ten years" — especially to fuel investments in digital ventures. To underscore how serious he is about the idea, Rabe said the 177-year old Berlin-based company will change its legal status to facilitate a stock sale. The announcement is a surprise: The Mohn family, which controls Bertelsmann, has resolutely opposed an IPO. One-time CEO Thomas Middelhoff lost his job in 2002 when he when he tried to take the company public. Under Bertelsmann's new legal status, the Mohns could retain control and still sell stock to outsiders. Investors would be placing a bet on the continent's largest TV company. Bertelsmann owns RTL Group, which has several stations and networks — and also owns Fremantle Media, which produces American Idol and The X Factor, and owns the rights to several game shows including The Price Is Right. The parent company also owns book publishing giant Random House and magazine publisher Gruner + Jahr. In addition, Bertelsmann's BMG RM has recently grown into a power in music publishing. Rabe made the announcement as Bertelsmann disclosed anemic financial performance in 2011: Its revenues were up 1.2% to $20.3B but, due in part to several major investments, its profit margin declined to 11.4% from 12.1%. Rabe forecast "moderate increase in revenues for 2012″ as well as higher profits.

Japanese tunnel rescue efforts suspended as attempts are made to secure roof as authorities confirm nine deaths
Video footage from cameras inside the tunnel, after the fire was extinguished, showed firefighters picking their way through cement roof panels that collapsed onto vehicles
Sunday 02 December 2012
Concrete ceiling slabs fell onto moving vehicles deep inside a long Japanese road tunnel, and authorities confirmed nine deaths before suspending rescue work today while the roof was being reinforced to prevent more collapses.
Two vehicles caught fire in the accident this morning, and heavy smoke initially hindered rescue efforts.
The location of the accident about a mile inside the three mile long Sasago Tunnel was also making the work difficult.
The nine dead were travelling in three vehicles in the tunnel about 50 miles west of Tokyo on a road that links the capital to central Japan.
The tunnel opened in 1977 and is one of many in the mountainous country.
The search was suspended this morning while the road operator does work to support the remaining slabs in the ceiling, said Jun Goto, an official at the Fire and Disaster Management Agency. It is expected to resume by afternoon.
Police and the road operator Central Japan Expressway Co. were investigating why the concrete slabs collapsed. An inspection of the tunnel's roof in September found nothing amiss, according to Satoshi Noguchi, a company official.
An estimated 270 concrete slabs, each weighing 1.4 metric tons, suspended from the arched roof of the tunnel fell over a stretch of about 120 yards, Mr Noguchi said.
The operator was exploring the possibility that bolts holding a metal piece suspending the panels above the road had become aged, he said.
The panels, measuring about 16 feet by four feet, and three inches thick, were installed when the tunnel was constructed in 1977.
Company President and chief executive Takekazu Kaneko said that the company was inspecting other tunnels of similar structure, including a parallel tunnel for traffic going in the opposite direction. Both sections of the road were shut down indefinitely.
Two people suffered injuries in the collapse.

3D Animation Artist/Art Director
Philippines - Last active: 1 day ago - Tests: 5 - Portfolio: 23
Considered as the most versatile 3d animator in Upwork, Roman is one of the best and the top 3D animation consultant here and in the Philippines. Creating anything involving animation - from films to commercials to small projects - takes a lot of skills to finish. From the design to the storyboard, from the texture to the render, from the composit to the edit - it goes through different phases and people with individual tasks, making it a nightmare to manage. What if a problem arises down the line and it has to be brought back for revisions? What if the artist who created the problem is already working on something else and can't be bothered to fix it? What if these back and forth revisions among different artists cost you more time and money? What makes Roman the best candidate is that with his vast knowledge and broad skillset in the field of animation, he will be able to avoid those pitfalls. What takes a lot of people to complete, he can do it all in one go: storyboarding, character and environmental designs and modeling, texturing, rigging, animation, lighting and rendering, compositing and motion graphics, for all kinds of film and animations. Why manage a lot of people when you can only manage one, who can easily go back and forth with the revisions because he knows the project by heart? Plus, he even has his own studio, Shifting Pixels, that can take on bigger projects because of the pool of local talents he can call on anytime. Managed and supervised by him, of course. You may not need him for a simple project, but you may want him to take that project to the next level for you. Services Provide I provide: Character Design StoryBoarding Animatic 3D modeling ( Organic, Inorganic, Characters, Environment or Props/ Gaming ) Texturing & Surfacing ( Organic, Inorganic, Characters, Environment or Props/ Gaming ) Rigging ( Organic, Inorganic, Characters, Environment or Props/ Gaming ) 3D Character Animation Lighting and Shading Rendering Motion Graphics Infographics Compositing Grading Medical Animation TV Commercial Spots Product Visualization Gaming

Film reviews
Directed by Brian Percival.
Adapting a well beloved and much respected novel is a fraught business.
And they don't come much more beloved and well respected than Markus Zusak's The Book Thief.
The novel has picked up dozens of international awards, and spent four years on the New York Times best seller list.
I've lost count of the number of well-meaning friends and colleagues who have told me that I must read it, and that I'll love it when I do.
And perhaps now I shall, for I've always found the old dictum about good books making for disappointing films to be broadly true, and The Book Thief has yielded a terribly disappointing film.
The film follows young Liesel Meminger from 1938 until the end of World War 2. Liesel is a German child, adopted into a poor family in a small provincial town near Munich.
The family take in a young Jewish refugee, and he will hide in the house for much of the war.
Next door to Liesel lives Rudy, a boy of about her own age. Canadian actress Sophie Nelisse is astonishingly good as Liesel, she is luminous on screen, and quite capable of projecting the complex suite of emotions that Liesel must travel through during the course of the film.
Next to her, Geoffrey Rush and Emily Watson are both fabulously well cast as Liesel's adoptive parents, despite Watson's part being criminally underwritten, and largely reduced to that of a stereotypical shrewish hausfrau with an acid tongue and an ill-concealed heart of gold.
Rush has better luck with his role, and is at least allowed to be kind and witty, but Rush's years of enjoying his great fortune have left him with a nose that looks like the last raspberry in the punnet, and not even the genius of Hollywood's best make-up artists can entirely conceal it.
But, Rush's schnoz aside, the film is near faultless technically, and it is exceptionally well acted. The design, costumes, sets, and the cinematography are all peerless. But in the story-telling, the film goes badly astray.
The Book Thief has clearly been assembled with an eye on the clock. Scenes are missing, whole sub-plots are set up, and then come to naught, characters are mentioned at the end of the film who we have never been introduced to.
All of this points to a film that has been cut down from a far fuller whole. A very smart editor once told me that she thinks of the scenes in a film as gears, and that editing is the process of getting all those gears spinning and meshing smoothly with each other.
The Book Thief is a film that has had too many of its cogs left out. Where it needs to build smoothly and inexorably to a devastating final stanza, it clunks along, and then arrives in a rush.
There are scenes in The Book Thief that will stay with you long after the credits, but as a whole, it is polished, sporadically impressive, and somehow quite unfinished.
