Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ:ADSK) entertainment and design software was used to create cutting-edge content for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Leading digital content creators relied on Autodesk technology to deliver Olympic projects as diverse as stadium visualizations and mascot design, to broadcast graphics and commercials for global brands.
CCTV is China's largest national television network. CCTV created its Olympics One Dream, One World and Olympics Age packaging and promotions with the Autodesk Smoke finishing system. As well, the broadcaster is using Smoke daily for content production during the Olympic Games.
Crystal CG is the official graphic design supplier for the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games. Using Autodesk 3ds Max software, Crystal CG created architectural visualizations of the Beijing "Bird's Nest" Olympic stadium and related facilities. 3ds Max and Autodesk Maya software were also used on TV commercials and promotions, and an educational sports program. In addition, Crystal CG produced the five "Fuwa" Olympic mascot cartoons with Maya.
Psyop/Stink used Autodesk Maya animation software to create three TV commercials for Adidas' "Together in 2008, Impossible is Nothing" Olympic Games campaign: Together, Zheng Zhi and Hu Jia. The spots include computer-generated crowds with a pencil-sketch look.
"Almost every shot in these Adidas spots involved creating assets in Autodesk Maya, and compositing them with live-action footage," said Tony Barbieri, technical director at Psyop. "Using Maya, we quickly populated scenes with hundreds of varied cheering fans. There were about thirty variations of fans, all modeled and rigged in Maya. By using just one rig for each gender, we were able to capture motion and create custom animation cycles to populate the entire crowd." Psyop provides 3D animation, visual effects and digital content for the advertising market.
The in-house team at Australia's Seven Network used Smoke to deliver Olympics promotional materials for Channel Seven. "Smoke is the only system capable of handling the phenomenal amount of work accomplished at Seven. As our day-to-day, get-it-out system, Smoke is absolutely invaluable," said Suzique Doughty, senior editor, Channel Seven.
Visual effects and animation studio suedlich-t relied on Maya and Autodesk Combustion software to shape Olympic trailers for the ARD and ZDF German public broadcasting networks. The trailers feature live-action footage of athletes morphing into 3D ink-strokes and ink-drops. Combustion was used for compositing and visual effects. suedlich-t used the Maya software's fluid and particle systems extensively for transitions between athletes and ink.

Speedball 2: Evolution on iPad and iPhone now free
Speedball 2: Evolution, the iPad and iPhone (iPod touch) game that we love so much here at Pocket-lint towers, is now available for free on the App Store. Nada. For nowt.
But you'd better hurry, as it's only available for a limited period. However, although it says that it's just for today (1 June) on iTunes, as today's @FreeAppADay Store App, we've been reliably informed that it'll be available for a little longer: "Tower Studios' brilliant touch-screen re-imagining of the classic Amiga sports game cum-brawl-'em-up, goes totally free from June 1st 2011 for a few days only," says the developer.
The game, which we reviewed back in February, is a superb update to 1990's Speedball 2: Brutal Deluxe, and is a great future sports bash-a-thon in its own right. It's got an extensive career mode, a new control system that makes great use of the tilt mechanisms associated with iOS devices, and updated graphics.
We also had a chat with Jon Hare from Tower Studios before its release, who suggested that this could be but the first conversion of a Bitmap Brothers classic game for the new generation.
And considering the quality of this debut title, we can't wait. And for free? It's a complete no-brainer.
We thoroughly recommend that you download it from Apple's App Store now.

Hackett's Cove, NS - Jun 15, 2011 - Nautel commissioned NPR Labs to study its HD PowerBoost with Asymmetrical Sideband technology so Nautel could obtain an independent analysis of the technology to both verify the system operates as anticipated and did not create any deleterious effects to either analog or HD Radio reception. Laboratory tests were conducted to measure the effectiveness of Nautel technologies under varying conditions. Noise and sensitivity were measured free of multipath and repeated with induced multipath and fast-fading. All tests included the addition of additive Gaussian white noise to simulate background RF noise from potential co-channel FM stations and/or environmental RF noise.
NPR Labs released the report on June 1, and according to Nautel, the report has validated the technology in improving reception coverage, power output and efficiency for HD Radio transmission. In the report, NPR Labs Senior Technologist John Kean stated "...in comparison with conventional IBOC operation, HD PowerBoost had little or no measurable impact on the performance of analog test receivers, even with the highest-tested asymmetrical digital sideband ratios of -10/-20dBc. Asymmetrical operation reduced the audio noise level of the home receivers by up to 3dB as either sideband was reduced." Kean also noted that mobile HD Radio receivers could operate well with asymmetrical transmission.
Following the Laboratory tests, WAMU in Washington performed on-air testing, which was the subject of a joint paper and presentation by Nautel, NPR and WAMU at the 2011 NAB Show. According to Nautel, real-world tests on WAMU further verified HD PowerBoost operation and followed extremely closely to the coverage prediction models for total dBc, which NPR Labs developed.

7 Tips to Dwell Well in a Small Space
Furniture Freshen Up
Furniture Freshen Up
Conceal scratches on wooden furniture legs or tabletops with a furniture touch-up pen, or have your pieces repainted. As long as a piece is sturdy and in otherwise good condition, I'm a big advocate of repainting because it's a cost effective way to freshen up a room. Be sure to use one of the new no-VOC paints to keep your room free from harmful chemicals to help keep your family healthy.

ISLAMABAD The families of more than 3 million poor children in Pakistan will receive cash stipends if their children go to school, the government said as officials prepared to mark "Malala Day" on Saturday in support of a schoolgirl shot by the Taliban.
U.N. officials declared Malala Day one month after 15-year-old Malala Yousufzai and two of her classmates were shot by the Pakistan Taliban. She had been targeted for speaking out against the insurgency.
In the days following the shooting, Yousufzai became an international icon and world leaders pledged to support her campaign for girls' education. She is now recovering in a British hospital.
On Friday, Pakistani president Asif Zardari added his signature to petitions signed by more than a million people urging Pakistan to pay stipends to families who put their girls in school in honor of Malala.
"Malala's dreams represent what is best about Pakistan," said former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown as he presented the petitions to President Zardari.
Tens of thousands of Britons have called on the government to nominate Malala Yousufzai for a Nobel Peace Prize for her work promoting girls' education.
On Friday, the government announced that poor families will now receive $2 a month per child in primary school.
The program will be funded by the World Bank and Britain and distributed through the government's Benazir Income Support Programme, designed to give small cash payments to needy families. The families in the programme already receive $10 a month for basic expenditure.
After a stipend programme was put in place in Pakistan's Punjab province, a World Bank study found a nine percent increase in girls' enrolment over two years, said Alaphia Zoyab, the South Asia campaigner for internet activist group Avaaz.
Pakistan is struggling to overcome widespread poverty, a Taliban insurgency and massive, endemic corruption. Less than 0.57 percent of Pakistan's 180 million citizens pay income tax, money that the government could use to educate poor children.
Instead, the Pakistani government relies on foreign donors to fund many social programs. Britain is due to spend around $1 billion on helping Pakistan educate poor children by 2015. (Reporting By Katharine Houreld; Editing by Michael Perry)

Seized money belongs to devotees: Sai`s nephew
New Delhi: Late Sathya Sai Baba`s nephew
RJ Ratnakar, who was on Saturday questioned by police in
connection with the seizure of Rs 35.5 lakh in cash, on Sunday
said the money belonged to the "devotees" but refused to
elaborate more.
"This 35 lakh belongs to devotees. Now that this is in
the court and investigation is on, more details cannot be
told," he said.
The cash was recovered a day after Sai Baba`s personal
chamber `Yajur Mandir` was opened and it was disclosed that it
contained 98 kg of gold, 307 kg of silver, apart from Rs 11.56
Ratnakar refuted as "mud-slinging" and "totally false"
allegations that trust members were trying to siphon out
"None of us...we are incapable of doing such things.
We have dedicated our lives at the lotus feet of the Bhagwan
Baba," he said, adding there are "disgruntled" people who are
spreading such allegations.
He said the Sathya Sai trust is the "most transparent"
trust and we go by all statutory requirements.
He also dismissed suggestions that there was a rift
between members of the trust as some had come through
influence, saying the trust was constituted last year and all
came to the board together.
"Whoever has come to the trust were handpicked by
Bhagwan (Sathya Sai)and I don`t think anybody could have
influenced for others," he said.
He said he was not "aware" about the one hour delay in
taking Sathya Sai Baba to hospital soon after he fell ill and
denied that the arrival of `rahu kaalam` had come in the way
from taking him to hospital.

Leket volunteers pick crops 390.

Western societies like Israel "have the ability to waste food in epic
proportions," said Joseph Gitler, founder of the NGO Leket, on Tuesday, as
countries across the globe marked World Food Day.The annual World Food
Day aims to raise awareness of poverty and hunger, as well as to commemorate the
1945 founding of the UN's Food and Agriculture organization, which describes its
goal as creating a "more food secure and sustainable world."According to
the National Insurance Institute's first food security report, published last
May, almost 11 percent of families in Israel experienced significant nutritional
insecurity in 2011. A breakdown of this figure reveals that food insecurity in
the Arab sector was five times as high as in the Jewish sector, and that 10.4%
of the haredi (ultra-Orthodox) population suffers from nutritional
insecurity.Leket, which Gitler founded nine years ago, is dedicated to
"combating the waste of food" in Israel."What Leket does is try to find
those sources of [wasted] food, rescue that food and distribute it to agencies
who work to provide it for those in need," he explained.The volunteers
at Leket pick up extra food from restaurants, bakeries, shopping malls, catering
companies, wedding halls, corporate cafeterias and even army bases. They then
bring the food back to Leket's warehouse, where they sort and distribute it to
the hundreds of organizations that help people in need all over in the country,
using the refrigerated trucks Leket has acquired as its operations have grown.
These organizations range from soup kitchens to after-school programs to
homeless shelters."Food donors are excited that someone is dealing with
their excess food, because at the end of the day, no one likes to waste," said
Gitler."That's something important in light of World Food Day: No one
likes to waste, but what are we willing to do about it? Are we willing to come
up with solutions? Are we willing to [go] the extra mile to make sure that food
isn't wasted?" Michal Eldar from the organization Latet, which runs similar
operations to Leket's, echoed Gitler's sentiments, saying, "People like to feel
that they put food on a family's table."Latet's "Food for Life" program
serves as a source of food for 150 charity organizations, which distribute the
collected food to people across the country.The NGO also runs a direct
operation for Holocaust survivors' nutritional needs."We do that
directly, without going through another [organization]," Eldar explained. "We
have volunteers who go to the survivors' houses once or twice a week and
personally deliver food packages."In addition, for over 10 years, Latet
has conducted holiday operations. On Rosh Hashana last month, volunteers from
the organization collected food from customers of one of the country's biggest
supermarket chains."We went and asked customers if there was anything in
their shopping cart they could leave for us to give to needy people. Some left
one or two items, and some a whole shopping cart full," Eldar said.The
organization also uses social media to call for donations and holds television
events with celebrities promoting the cause.According to a UN hunger
report published earlier this month, nearly 870 million people, or one in eight,
suffered from chronic undernourishment in the 2010- 2012 period. Sixteen million
of them live in developed countries such as the United States and
Israel."It's been said that the world is now producing enough food for
10 billion people. There are only seven billion people in the world, so why do
we even have something called World Food Day?" Gitler asked. "In the Western
world, hunger is frankly embarrassing, because the food is there. To talk about
hunger in Israel and the United States is really disturbing."This year,
agricultural cooperatives were the theme of World Food Day. José Graziano da
Silva, directorgeneral of the UN Food and Agriculture Organization, wrote in a
statement that "over the three decades of decline in national investments in
agriculture and official development assistance, millions of small producers
have struggled to respond and to cope with variability and crises in climate,
markets, and prices."He continued, "Since the food crisis of 2007-8 many
countries have renewed their commitment to eradicating hunger in the world and
improving livelihoods. But in some cases, concrete political, programme and
financial support are lagging behind verbal commitments."Another of
Leket's activities is dealing with farmers around the country, who call the
association when crops are in bigger supply than demand or when some crops have
been damaged and become unsellable. Leket's team of pickers then selects crops
to distribute."The fact that we are able to impact tens of thousands of
needy Israelis every day is very special. But it's a bittersweet feeling also
because of the fact that we have to do this kind of work," said
Gitler.Last year, Latet submitted a proposal to the Welfare and Social
Services Ministry to combat food insecurity, and minister Moshe Kahlon and Prime
Minister Binyamin Netanyahu committed to giving NIS 100 million to advance the
project. With the minister resigning on Monday, however, Eldar explained that
the project is pending.

Welsh local authorities criticised for failing to record anti-gay school bullying
Post your comment

It should by now be a legal obligation to keep these statistics.
I think if they were kept people would be surprised how much homophobic bullying there is. In my experience it doesn't even need to be overtly homophobic as it is difference that singles out the victims and many kids who haven't even identified as gay are already showing that difference that marks them out. They may then go on later to identify as gay.
This does make it difficult to identify but a start must be made.
Well said, twitless, and as someone who was bullied throughout school for being trans (including by some of the teachers) I'd like to second that. The abuse I got was often both homophobic, sexist and misogynistic in nature as bullies often aren't sensitive or intelligent enough to know what 'transgender' means let alone understand.
As you say, the problem is more widespread than schools or society at large seems to want to let on: LGBT pupils and those perceived as LGBT are often subject to severe bullying which often has a tendency to become sexually abusive in nature by the time we reach our early teens. Schools often sweep student-on-student sexual harassment under the carpet too. Unfortunately, I speak from personal experience and I know that I'm not the only one. Local authorities need to realise that kids are still going through this right now – and ending their torment (and sometimes even saving their lives) should be a priority right now!

Colorado gives Hunwick a two-year, $3.2 million extension
Jun 8, 2012, 8:12 AM EDT
The Colorado Avalanche have been busy lately. They kicked off the week by re-signing Cody McLeod to a three-year, $3.5 million deal. On Thursday they opened their wallet again to ink David Jones to a four-year, $16 million extension.
Now they've also come to terms with defenseman Matt Hunwick, who has signed a two-year, $3.2 million contract. Hunwick would have become an unrestricted free agent this summer.
Hunwick had 27 points and a plus-15 rating in 51 games with Boston in 2008-09, but he's never been able to replicate that success. He was listed as a healthy scratch for a large chunk of the Colorado Avalanche's campaign, but he did play regularly in the final quarter of the season. He finished 2011-12 with six points in 33 games.
Colorado still has a lot more work to do this off-season. They have a ton of players scheduled to become restricted free agents, including Matt Duchene, Peter Mueller, Steve Downie, and Erik Johnson. That being said, the Avalanche also have plenty of cap space to work with. If anything, reaching the cap floor might be an issue for Colorado.
- polegojim - Jun 8, 2012 at 9:05 AM
Whitesnake… kindof… Here They Go Again…
In typical Rockies…er…. Avs fashion, considerable time and resources is invested signing non-performing, weak players like Hunwick.
Someone has to play on the 4th line… and the Avs appear determined to fill it nicely.
As a matter of fact, they're very fortunate that many who play on their 2nd and 3rd lines would also fit VERY nicely on the fourth…
Mr. Sherman is again leaving Avs fans COMPLETELY underwhelmed with his moves and inability to fulfill his promise of returning the Avs to former success.
Sadly, this Truth Hurts…
- danphipps01 - Jun 8, 2012 at 2:19 PM
It's seemed like they've been running at least two fourth lines, if not worse, for a long time now. Their D-corps looks horrible. What the hell happened? They can't just draft their way out of the abyss like Pittsburgh or Chicago?
- polegojim - Jun 8, 2012 at 4:11 PM
Exactly! Here's what happened:
Pierre Lacroix accepted a promotion and stopped being active in operations
Promoting his son Eric to Dir of Hockey Ops – gag
Giguere as GM – weak
Granato as HC.. not only once, but TWICE – weak x2
Ridiculous chase of Forsberg for three years… when he was DONE
Promoting unproven Sherman to GM – all talk
Entire Player Development or should I say, Player NON-Development system is busted. Guys like Duchene who get WORSE with experience? Seriously?
All this 'promoting within' the Avs 'family' warm and fuzzy stuff has produced an organization that's FORGOTTEN how to win and nobody has the balls to stop the bleeding, because Kroenke is still making money.
Watch – they'll come out strong again in Oct-Dec, then start tanking late Dec-Jan. It's their MO. No stamina, not built for consistency.
They're the Rockies of Hockey… right after Columbus.
- andidee15 - Jun 8, 2012 at 4:58 PM
Hunwick is a depth player, a #7 or #8 defenseman. He's probably going to be in the press box for most of this year like he did most of last year. By all reports, he's a great locker room guy who can deal with that sort of role, but he's not one of our keys moving forward. Did we overpay? Yep. But he helps us get over the salary floor for the next two years and lets Elliott and Barrie have a little more time in the AHL to refine their game. This signing is really not that big of a deal.
We're not great now, but between our drafting and Sherman's trades, we've got an amazing core of young players. Average age wise, we're the youngest team in the league, so there are bound to be some serious growing pains. We're still rebuilding, but everything is still quietly coming together. Don't write this club off yet.
- polegojim - Jun 8, 2012 at 9:54 PM
C'mon Andidee… exactly how much of that kool-aid have you been drinking.
I liked when the Avs are good… I just forgot what that looks like.
The Avs have been 'rebuilding' for a decade. The once 'amazing core of young players'…. is already in decline. Player Development has been a HUGE bust… no, it's been a devastating travesty.
Let's just call it what it is – multiple BLOWN attempts at rebuilding… and Sherman thinks he has the recipe? Let's see the facts:
Trades for rock solid top lines? Seriously? WHO?
Impact Free Agent hopes or landings? NOPE
Trading away youth who were performing? YEP
Youth tearing it up/blossoming with potential? Quite the opposite, downward
Vets who still have 'it' to show youth? WOW… um… NOT even remotely
Overpaying role players to fill up that cap gap? Check – got that one down
Keep hope alive bro… it's all that's left when reality is so painfully obvious.

Scenery: it all depends on your point of view
Relevant offers
Alastair Paulin
I'm back in the saddle in Motueka after a five-week holiday in California.
You hate me already, don't you? In just the last five words of the opening sentence, I bet I managed to make you roll your eyes four times. Holiday? Five weeks? In California? In spring?
But I had terrible weather there! The warmest day I had was when I stepped off the plane on my return to Nelson a couple of weeks ago.
During five weeks in and around the San Francisco Bay area, mostly it rained, it snowed a couple of times and I never once wore the pairs of shorts I had packed. It was like living in Dunedin again.
That is all true but the main reason I'm telling you this is to undercut any resentment that may sneak in after you read "five-week holiday in California".
Rest assured that a break away only confirms what we all know deep down: that we are lucky to live in the best place.
For some of the time we swapped houses with a family who live in the country just outside the quaint Gold Rush towns of Nevada City and Grass Valley in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada, a couple of hours east of San Francisco. It is an area we used to visit on summer holidays when we lived in San Francisco, and locals told us it has become a favoured residence for the newly wealthy retirees of Silicon Valley.
We loved the area for a glorious wild river, the South Yuba, and the several nearby trails that at this time of year host some of the state's best wildflower meadows. But a clear-eyed appraisal this time left us indifferent to its charms.
Meanwhile, our house-swappers in the Motueka Valley, who we could tell from photos in their house were accomplished world travellers, were raving about our region as being "paradise" and having the "best holiday ever".
The irony that they were enjoying Nelson's best spell of weather all year while we were getting a rare snowfall at their house was surely part of that, but our comparative reactions to our environments reminded me that when you grow up in New Zealand, you tend to develop into a scenery snob.
Our baseline of beauty, from the Bay of Islands to the Catlins and from Cable Bay to Wharariki Beach, is just so far above most of the rest of the world that when locals elsewhere take us to their picturesque places, we have to fake enthusiasm.
Many times in America, when shown some mountain, lake or beach, I've politely agreed that "yes, it is very pretty", while inside I've wanted to bust out like a Texan, whose standard response to anything is "We've got that in Texas, only bigger". But it is not in the Kiwi psyche to boast, so I doubt I've ever actually said, "We've got that in New Zealand, only prettier".
We may be loath to boast but the flip side of our reticence is our desire to foot it with the big guys on the world stage. That is why we are suddenly bombarded with news about Kiwi singer Kimbra, the featured vocalist on Gotye's US chart topping song Somebody That I Used to Know, a song that shadowed us around California.
It seems a classic case of the Kiwi cringe, where we crave validation from beyond our shores before we can fully embrace our talent, in the way local television shunned Flight of the Conchords, only to watch America's HBO turn them into so much more than "New Zealand's fourth-most-popular folk-comedy duo", as they liked to describe themselves.
I sometimes wonder if the traffic reports on National Radio are like that, when they dutifully report snarl-ups on the Auckland motorway. See, big cities of the world? We have traffic jams too; we must be a legitimate member of the first world after all.
Of course, this is undone somewhat by the fact that we only have one motorway worth reporting on, apparently. I'm still waiting for the traffic report that tells me I can't exit my driveway because a neighbouring farmer is moving 80 sheep along West Bank Rd, or that there is a 90-second delay to make a left turn on to Motueka's High St from Pah St.
As I sat in five lanes of traffic going nowhere for 30 minutes on the Bay Bridge between San Francisco and Oakland, which my wife claims gets backed-up "if somebody farts", I chuckled at the idea that supposedly Motueka has a traffic problem that needs a bypass to solve.
I contented myself by looking out the window at the $8.7 billion construction project that will add more lanes to the bridge, because, just like the Motueka River bridge on SH60, it is too narrow for the traffic that uses it.
I thought, "We've got that in New Zealand, only prettier".

This is also true here in the UK. Peter Tatchell still routinely gets death threats and now lives in fortress like conditions on his council estate, with a hotline to the local police station in case of attacks.
And it happened to me when I and my boyfriend of the time appeared, some 15 or so years ago, on a daytime TV programme talking about gay marriage. Afterwards when because our faces were now known as "gay" to our neighbours we had a hell of a time from local youth who taunted us, encouraged by their parents.

Brandon Beachy's season is over
Sep 12, 2013, 11:45 AM EDT
All of us who are convinced that Matt Harvey should go get Tommy John surgery yesterday should probably remind ourselves that it's not ALWAYS a routine thing. Take Brandon Beachy who hasn't been able to get right this year:
Beachy said today he's not where he wants to be. Had played some catch earlier this week. Elbow still giving him some discomfort.
— David O'Brien (@ajcbraves) September 12, 2013
Beachy has pitched in five games this year and he's now likely done for the season.
The Braves are now short him, Tim Hudson and Paul Maholm in the rotation. Not gonna hate on 'em, but no, the Braves are not currently my favorite to come out of the NL playoffs.

Remember when the Braves had the "problem" of too many starters?

Yep. No team in the history of the world had too much pitching, especially starters. You also heard that talk about the Cards early on this year. They were knee deep in pitching depth. Guess what? They will probably hang on and win, but they have used all of that depth to get there.

So many injuries. After O'Flaherty, Venters, Hudson, Maholm, Pastornicky, Pena and Heyward, not to mention basically EVERY position player being hurt at some point. I'd hoped the bleeding would stop.
I mean really, BJ, McCann, Freeman, Heyward, Yanish, Laird, Reed Johnson, Pena, Schafer, Pastornicky and Uggla have all gone on the 15-day DL or worse at some point. :(Still can't use injuries as an excuse though, we gotta get it together!

Every team can make that list. The Cardinals have been without Carpenter, Motte, and Fucal all year. Garcia and Gast have been gone almost all year and aren't coming back. Freese, Holliday, Molina, Craig, Adams, Westbrook, Cruz, Robinson, and Salas have all been on the DL.
Injuries suck, but they suck for most every team.
