SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — Hackers apparently broke into at least two of North Korea's government-run online sites Thursday, as tensions rose on the Korean Peninsula.
The North's Uriminzokkiri Twitter and Flickr accounts stopped sending out content typical of that posted by the regime in Pyongyang, such as photos of North's leader Kim Jong Un meeting with military officials.
Instead, a picture posted Thursday on the North's Flickr site shows Kim's face with a pig-like snout and a drawing of Mickey Mouse on his chest. Underneath, the text reads: "Threatening world peace with ICBMs and Nuclear weapons/Wasting money while his people starve to death."
Another posting says "We are Anonymous" in white letters against a black background. Anonymous is a name of a hacker activist group. A statement purporting to come from the attackers and widely circulated online said that they had compromised 15,000 user records hosted on Uriminzokkiri.com and other websites. The authenticity of the statement couldn't be confirmed, but the North's official website did not open Thursday.
Tweets on the North's Twitter account said "Hacked" followed by a link to North Korea-related websites. One tweet said "Tango Down" followed by a link to the North's Flickr page.
North Korea opened its Twitter account in 2010. It has more than 13,000 followers. The North uses the social media to praise its system and leaders and also to repeat commentaries sent out by North's official Korean Central News Agency.
Tensions have been high in recent days between North and South Korea, and the North's military warned Thursday that it had been authorized to attack the U.S. North Korea is angry about sanctions against its nuclear program and joint military drills between the U.S. and South Korea.

No, he doesn't dress that way every day, but his professional appearance fit with the occasion and his dedication as an athlete that has earned the Jones County senior a track scholarship to Savannah State. The signing ceremony was held at the high school Tuesday morning.
Former Jones County track coach Greg Nisbet, who retired from coaching at the end of last season, said when Poole first joined the varsity program four years ago, he already trained and ran like a professional.
"He's a smart, dedicated runner who has always worked hard and been very professional in his training and racing," Nisbet said. "I'm really thrilled for him and expect great things out of him in the future."
New Jones County boys' track coach Travis Reese, who has worked with Poole the last few years as the assistant working with the sprinters, echoed those sentiments.
"Antwuan has been great for us, and I've told him I'm looking for him to lead us into good things this season. The way he goes is the way we're going to go. And I believe he'll go on to college and excel there as well."

Here Comes The BrideFriday, January 11 2013
Today's episode is the 12,000 show! Sami and Rafe get involved before the wedding, Sonny is happy Will has moved in, Chloe begins her new life in Salem, and Daniel plans a life with Parker and Jennifer.
Sami and Rafe are kissing at her apartment and they start to disrobe on the couch. There's a knock at the door. Sami lets Hope in and Rafe leaves. Hope helps Sami get ready and asks about her and Rafe. Sami agrees they are trying again and wonders if they are meant to be like Hope and Bo.
At the pub, Chad tells Sonny he's going to Gabi and Nick's wedding. Sonny wonders what's up. Chad says he's tired of being mad all the time and is moving on. Nick overhears Gabi asking Will to be the baby's Godfather. Nick steps in and says no way. Gabi apologizes that she didn't tell him first and Will confronts Nick. Gabi tries to stop them. Will says Nick doesn't think he's capable of being Godfather. Nick pleads his case that the odds of the truth coming out go up and claims he's worried how hard it will be for Will. Will tries to make them understand what it would mean for him to be Godfather. Gabi and Nick shut him down. Will leaves for the church disappointed.
Chloe shows up at the hospital and sees Daniel, commenting it is just like old times. He asks why she is there and they discuss pediatricians. She asks him to join her to review his recommendations. He says he will spend his break with Parker and will stop to see Jennifer. Chloe says she understands and he asks if she does. Chloe claims she has no illusions and they've both moved on. She is just in Salem for him to reconnect with Parker. Before she leaves Chloe overhears Anne talking at the hospital coffee counter about Jennifer taking another day off. She interrupts and invites Anne out for a real cup of coffee after Anne claims to know the real Jennifer.
Abby catches her mom before she leaves home and asks about her date with Daniel. Jenn tells her Daniel found out Parker is his son and explains what happened. She receives a text from Daniel saying he is stopping by. Abby leaves to get ready for the wedding. He comes over and tells her he loves her and wants her to be a part of his and Parker's life. She encourages his relationship with Parker and offers to help in any way.
Lucas bumps into his mother in the park and asks why she's back. Kate tells him Chloe is back. Lucas is happy and then Billie joins them and Kate asks her to tell her brother to stay away from Chloe. He says he's not interested in her, he is only happy that Daniel may end up leaving Jenn alone. They discuss what would be best for Parker.
Abby helps Gabi get ready at the church and Sami shows up. Gabi starts to get emotional and Sami gives her a pep talk and discusses how they will always be connected by the baby because she was with her when she heard about the baby. Rafe interrupts with a call from their mother. Gabi speaks to her in Spanish. She says her mom apologized for hanging up and is really excited about the baby. Sami rushes Rafe out of the room. In another room, Father Eric, Rafe and Will offer support to Nick. Rafe's phone rings and he leaves. The priest leaves Will and Nick alone. Nick asks will if they are okay and reminds Will how he stepped up. Will ignores him.
Victor and Maggie welcome Caroline at the church. They thank her for giving Nick a second chance. Maggie steps away and Victor and Caroline discuss Chloe. Chad shows up and finds Abby waiting. Sonny arrives and tells Will he can't believe he moved in so fast and will be happy to dance with him later. Rafe kisses Sami between wedding tasks. Chad joins Abby and tells her how beautiful she is. Billie, Kate and Lucas arrive and Billie asks how she's feeling about Chloe's return. Jenn was assured by Daniel that they're still on track. Eric and Nick arrive and Will and Abby go up the aisle next. Rafe walks Gabi down the aisle and Eric welcomes everyone. The readings begin and vows are exchanged. Just then, Chad stands up and stops the wedding by declaring Gabi should be marrying the real father of her baby!
Daniel goes back to the mansion to see Parker. Chloe opens up that she has always sensed that he was her son's real father so she wants them to change his name to Parker Daniel Jonas. Daniel likes that idea. Daniel promises his son he will never let him go.
Sneak peek!
Rafe and Chad get into a fight.
Lucas wants to hear the truth from his son.

Are you forever struggling to juggle more demands and get more done? That's not about to change any time soon. Demand is rising inexorably. Here's the problem: we're not meant to run like computers -- at high speeds, continuously, for long periods of time. Rather, human beings are designed to pulse rhythmically between spending energy and intermittently renewing it. The sad truth is that most of us don't do either one very well. We may dimly recognize that we're more efficient and effective when we focus on one thing at a time, but we still react, with Pavlovian predictability, to every new call on our attention. Tony Schwartz, bestselling author of Be Excellent at Anything: The Four Keys to Transforming the Way We Work and Live, will lay out a step-by-step approach to a better way of working, grounded in multidisciplinary research and real-life stories.Advertising, Illustration2012

365 Days. 365 Voices "the3six5" started on January 1st, 2010 and ultimately crowdsourced the story of an entire year from the perspective of a different person each day. The authors come from a variety of backgrounds and geographic locations and together revealed our collective conscious of what took place over the course of 365 days. While the individual tales shared with the public were an amazing result, we'd like to share the learnings and anecdotes that happened behind the scenes of this seemingly simple (but quite the opposite) crowdsourced project that took us from nothing, to a published book. This session will serve those who are seeking to develop their own crowd-fueled web content by sharing the mistakes and revelations that the3six5 experiment taught us.Advertising, Illustration2012
This dual presentation will explore common play elements in location-based games. We'll analyze the popular "Check-In" mechanic (used by products like FourSquare and GoWalla), and take a look at the business and social forces that have influenced its emergence as the popular geo game model. The presentation will compare current location-based products, charting their strengths and weaknesses to identify where we believe large areas of opportunity exist in the market. We'll evaluate the challenges and untapped opportunities of Geo Games from the technological and design perspectives of the two presenters. We'll outline how the limitations in location technology can be an elegant part of the game design itself, and how new innovations will help to create richer and more immersive parallel worlds.Advertising, Illustration2012
Japan has ubiquitous high-speed coverage and a voracious appetite for tech gadgets, however, their tools have developed with entirely different features than other countries. For example: Japan's ""Galapo-phones"" commonly include streaming TV and multi-character sets, Mixii and Gree each have more than 30 million users on their social networks, and Yahoo is a whole different experience from US counter-part. With meteoric growth in Twitter and network tools, Japan aims on becoming the regional leader for emerging social web technologies -- much like their early leadership in consumer electronics and gaming industries. This presents opportunities for collaboration and partnerships but localizing requires more than translation. This panel will discuss the unique characteristics of Japanese web and mobile market including tactics for connecting to markets, identifying opportunities, and outreaching to audiences, plus understanding unexpected cultural nuances and consumer expectations.Advertising, Illustration2012
Gone are the days when brands needed to rely on high profile stories to establish credibility—today, brand marketers become content curators by mingling content from trusted sources with their own material. Long gone is the need to purchase ad space in a relevant trade publication—instead, marketers just create their own site on the topic. At a time when the line is increasingly blurred between the role of marketer and publisher, it is a brave new world out there for brands. As part of a lively debate on what role brands should play in this brave new world, experts from the publishing, marketing, and internet worlds will come together to address some of the most heated concerns about this changing landscape—including matters of transparency and trust, concern over copyright and fair sharing, and where to draw the line between reporting and selling.Advertising, Illustration2012
No matter how narrow you think the use of your website or service will be, if it's successful, it'll be used in ways you'll never expect - including life or death fights over human rights in foreign countries. Your code might make the difference between a free press or a government clampdown, tortured dissidents or a bloodless coup. Twitter aids activists in Iran; Facebook helps the independent press in Ethiopia; World of Warcraft is policed for sedition in China. What is happening on your site that you don't know about? And how can you design it so you help the good guys?Advertising, Illustration2012

Every major forecast from McKinsey to The Gates Foundation points to cleantech as the Next Great Industry. It seems obvious, yet how many of us in the interactive community have deep knowledge and involvement in this sector? Our prediction and hope is that that will change in the next 3-5 years. This session will discuss the current growth of the cleantech sector, its implications for the interactive community and vice versa, the optimal scenarios for impact, and the ways we can start thinking about this industry now. We'll dive into the current role of data and developers, the importance of mapping & the Internet of Things, and look at case studies from GE & IBM to TerraPower. We'll also follow up on some of the principles in the SXSW 2010 keynotes of Valerie Casey & Bruce Sterling such as systems thinking in the interactive community, high-impact development, and our role in social & environmental change.Advertising, Illustration2012
So you get the brief, and it's the "same old same old". Your client wants a banner campaign…an email blast, a :30 second spot… but you've got something better up your sleeve… something more appropriate for them that better meets their needs. Something they're pining for but they don't know it yet. How will you sell it to them without making their head spin? How can you make them understand the benefits without losing them in the technological weeds? We're constantly being thrown for a loop when it comes to great, innovative ideas: "It's not in the budget.", "How can we measure its success?", "We've never done anything like that before." This panel will tell you how to crash through all those barriers with your client and make something really interesting – you may even put it in your portfolio.Advertising, Illustration2012
The old way of thinking tells small businesses to worry about competitors. Worrying takes the focus off the business. By collaborating with competitors the focus remains on the client and business goals. Take for instance the WordPress theme design company StudioPress. StudioPress recommended other theme design companies to add to the Page.ly power ups page. Because of these actions and more, they've increased their recognition, branded themselves as a benevolent leader, and gained respect within the community. GangPlank, a collaborative workspace, started as a few web firms who decided to share their business secrets. They decided to combine their efforts and work together under the same roof. There was enough room for more so the space was opened up to the public. Now the space has increased from 5k sq ft to 16k sq ft and is funded by the city of Chandler. Learn these tactics and more from a highly qualified panel of experts who live this philosophy daily.Advertising, Illustration2012
Reaching communities usually doesn't include building an app or a Web site but creating a more tangible experience—And, inspiring those who are long lost to apathy to even consider taking part in this experience is the first and most difficult step. Designers often end up using stereotypical and common forms of serious, logical argument in communicating pertinent issues. But many designers have failed to acknowledge a common tool as one of the most powerful rhetorical strategies for use in their work: humor. Neglecting humor's potential eliminates the chance of mastering a method of communication that has an unlimited usage scope because of its cultural role and human value.Advertising, Illustration2012
New technology brings broad experimentation and new design challenges. It takes years, if not decades, to establish an effective design vocabulary to discuss what "works" and "doesn't work." This panel asks established professionals in architecture, speech writing, and event planning to describe their creative processes and vocabularies and will compare them with the best practices in interaction design.Advertising, Illustration2012
PBS KIDS has been designing non-commercial websites and interactive games for kids for over 10 years. Making an interactive product that appeals, engages and is usable by a child is not as simple as using Comic Sans and replacing an "S" with a "Z". Children's abilities change rapidly and producers need to ensure that products are developmentally accessible. This session will focus on designing for two audiences: pre-readers (3-5) and readers (6-8), through case-studies revealing how and why design choices were made based on experience, user testing and informed guesses.Advertising, Illustration2012

Artists working with the Internet have to adapt, adopt, and respond to a continually developing medium with ever expanding potential. In this panel, we'll talk with leading artists about their practice and the current state of Internet art. Artists will discuss how recent developments, like the boom in online video, the proliferation of social media and mobile technologies, and the introduction of HTML5, have prompted new artistic strategies and aesthetics. The conversation will foreground how artists are often the first to experiment with and think through the new possibilities and limits of new technologies. Rhizome is a leading organization dedicated to Internet art. Rhizome supports artists working at the furthest reaches of technological experimentation as well as those responding to the broader aesthetic and political implications of new tools and media.Advertising, Illustration2012

Back in 2003, photographer Robbie Cooper photographed dozens of portraits of online gameplayers alongside their avatars for a book called ALTER EGO. The book is an incredible illustration of the ways that digital platforms have transformed fixed physical characteristics into a virtual wardrobe that can be donned or dismissed with a few clicks of a button. This phenomenon might be trivial if online identity were all "just a game"—but the truth is, the line between online and offline identity has increasingly blurred. Researcher Lukas Blinka wrote in the journal Cyberpsychology in 2008 that "the data...shows that younger players tend to identify with — i.e. not to distinguish from — their avatars, and the younger the respondents were, the stronger the phenomenon." This panel will debate whether digital platforms can enhance racial engagement and understanding, or simply encourage conscienceless and consequence-free acts of hatred and abuse — and explore how online identity is forcing us to confront new ways of thinking about race, ethnicity and gender.Advertising, Illustration2012
Ever wonder what keeps so many people from launching a new endeavor or scaling a creative venture into something exponentially more impactful? More often than not, the answer isn't a lack of ideas, money, a team or a plan...it's far more primal. The answer is fear. Instead of brainstorming new ideas, in this session you will discover how to move from ideation to action, overcome the three greatest fears that hold creatives, artists and entrepreneurs back, and find a more stable path to success.Advertising, Illustration2012
The pictures are better on radio, they say, and the same is also true in interactive experiences: games, for example, are possible using sound that are more realistic and immersive than the most complex 3D polygon-fests. But we're not talking soundtrack: we're talking fundamental questions of user interface, augmented reality and game design in audio. We're focusing on the development of Papa Sangre, a game in sound without graphics, and the world's first real-time generative audio-only virtual world. On an iPhone. Papa Sangre was commissioned by 4IP as a game in which blind people might be able to kick the ass of sighted people. It's been an extraordinary challenge to imagine the design of a game and world where your existence is entirely through sound and where technological constraints become a mother of invention. The panel will discuss the process, the constraints, the vision and the philosophy behind a radical new genre of game and what this generally reveals for good game and experience design.Advertising, Illustration2012
Ever met a friend for a spur-of-the-moment drink just because Foursquare told you he was down the block? How about popped into a restaurant in a foreign city because your phone told you that you'd like it? Or got wind of a special product offer at the precise moment you were walking by your favorite store? If you haven't yet, you will. And your life will be better for it. Here's the deal: new location-aware technologies recognize where you are and connect you to the people and things that matter to you most. But you knew that already. What you don't know is what's next – how the next generation of mobile location-aware services are going to transform how you socialize, shop and experience entertainment in unimaginable new ways. Where a mobile device will know what you like, maybe even more than your best friend. And where you hold a virtual passport to new and spontaneous experiences in the palm of your hand. Dr. Tero Ojanperä of Nokia will lead a panel that propels you into the future of location-based services and gives you a first look at the products and services that will revolutionize how you connect with the world around you.Advertising, Illustration2012
Art, education, economics, propaganda. Games are arriving at the forefront of media to become an important way to engage entire generations of people. What's different from before? Five billion people are replacing the most common communication device, the simple cell phone, with a full-fledged gaming system in their pocket. There are multiple ways to publish and distribute games over the Internet and to the masses. For many, game creation is becoming a regular activity, as tools become both easier to use and more powerful for people without programming knowledge. This panel will cover unique perspectives on how games are becoming more meaningful forms of expression and a significant tool for communicating ideas.Advertising, Illustration2012
In just under 18 months Facebook has gone from being one of an emerging group of social networks to becoming the undisputed engine of the social networking phenomenon. Facebook is now the big shark in the tank because it is the main way for consumers to connect, engage, have fun and entertain themselves within a relatively easy to use platform. As Facebook pushes toward data dominance to make its platform worth bn, it almost has no choice but to jump the shark and hope that it can start a new, profitable revenue model. In doing so, will Facebook's equity as a valued social network erode into an untrusted marketing platform of ads and spammers? Marketers and "Judy Consumer" have a lot at stake by having so much information in the hands of so young a company. Come join this discussion as we open the pandora's box of privacy, trust, access and creating real consumer value.Advertising2012
Scientology protests. Gaming Time Magazine's Most Important People poll. Sending Justin Bieber to North Korea. 4chan is "the internet hate machine" that crosses boundaries with the real world. 4chan's two unusual features - it's anonymity and its lack of archiving - have made it into a hotbed of creativity that is almost single-handedly responsible for every major internet meme in the past 7 years. In this presentation, we will use 4chan as a lens to illustrate how modern advertising can better communicate with hyper-connected, hyper-social communities. By following the lead of the 4chan community (albeit with less pornography), advertisers can learn how to hack the attention economy and succeed in the face of changing consumer behaviors.Advertising, Illustration2012
This session is about how the history of Print Design is becoming an important influence in the evolution of Interaction Design. As a craft, design for printed media has a rich history. Several generations of designers have pushed its boundaries in countless directions. It has been shaped over several hundred of years as both a functional and aesthetic discipline, with a deep foundation of principles, practices, theories, and professional dialogue. In comparison, Interaction and UI Design is still a relatively young field. Its history has largely been driven by technology and functional goals. The dialogue around it has been centered on usability, which has been its purpose in the context of technological advancement. The visual language of UI has evolved from that standpoint: that it should evoke the familiar, analog experience of tools, buttons, knobs, and dials. That foundation has led to a very specific visual language in interactive experiences. In the past ten years however, the relevant technologies that support the design of Interfaces - displays, processing speeds, and rendering engines - have matured to a point that they provide a more capable canvas for design. Meanwhile, our culture has become visibly more comfortable with the technologies that surround it.Advertising, Illustration2012
The iPad and its entourage of Android tablets have introduced a new style of computing, confronting designers with unfamiliar aches and pains. Learn the symptoms (and fixes) for a range of new-to-the-world iPad interface ailments, including Greedy Pixel Syndrome, the dreaded Frankeninterface, and the "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" bait and switch. Explore practical techniques and eye-opening gotchas of tablet interface design, all grounded in the ergonomics, context, psychology, and nascent culture of these new devices (both iOS and Android). The presentation inoculates you against common problems with close-up looks at successful iPad apps from early sketches to final design. Genial bedside manner is administered by Josh Clark, author of the O'Reilly books "Tapworthy: Designing Great iPhone Apps" and "Best iPhone Apps: A Guide for Discriminating Downloaders."Advertising, Illustration2012
A social network that functions like a colony of ants. A database that manages and shares information like a slime mold. What can we learn from the obvious? Millions of years of royalty free R&D embedded in nature holds the answers to many of today's human centered design challenges. In this presentation learn how a systems approach that mimics nature's lessons and resiliency can be adapted to technology design. Biomimicry is a proven design process that asks nature for advice. The application of biomimicry is responsible for the development of successful products ranging from Velcro™ and photovoltaic solar panels to advanced seawater desalination methods and more efficient Japanese bullet trains. Bringing a biologist to the design table to explore innovation in IT application development and optimization can unlock new discoveries. When approached as mentor, model and measure, organisms and whole systems found in the natural world become powerful collaborators.Advertising, Illustration2012
How is social media changing the TV experience for good? Over the past ten years, we've seen television become truly interactive, from SMS voting on American Idol to real-time audience feedback via Twitter and Facebook becoming a part of everything from CNN to Oprah to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. At the same time, web series have built millions of viewers on places like YouTube, iTunes, and XBox Live. Now a new wave of always-connected mobile apps, set-top boxes, and gaming platforms are making entertainment more social, location-aware, and connected than ever. Our panel of producers of hit TV shows and top web platforms will talk about how they're enabling social viewing and collaboration between producers, stars, and audiences in real time to create new kinds of TV experiences.Advertising, Illustration2012

As traditional formats like television and movies lose eyeballs to video games and user-generated content, where is this creative revolution taking us? Join one of leading voices in scripted internet content, Felicia Day, in discussing the journey that took her from a video shot in her garage to a four season production deal with Xbox and Sprint. She will speak about harnessing social media to build her show "The Guild" to over 100 million views, and building upon her success to produce her upcoming web series with EA/Bioware, "Dragon Age: Redemption". There has never been a better time to be an independent creator, learn from one of the innovators.Advertising, Illustration2012
The last decade was the decade of social. The coming one will be the decade of games. Over the past years, a few key companies have built, and now maintain, a powerful framework to foster digital connections between our friends, family and colleagues. What comes next is another framework, not another social layer, but a "game layer". And it'll be even bigger. Instead of trading in social connections, the game layer traffics directly in human motivation. It's not about the number of followers you have, or how many people "like" you, but about how you can leverage game mechanics to achieve all sorts of great things. Use them cleverly and they can enhance education, empower local businesses and make your life more fun and more rewarding. Use them incorrectly and well... it's less good. Join Seth Priebatsch for a deep dive into the coming game layer, what to be excited about, what to fear and why your life is about to become a lot more fun.Advertising, Illustration2012
New opportunities for sophisticated in-store and digital interactive experiences are fundamentally changing the way retail stores connect with their customers. These changes – from interactive kiosks, sophisticated mobile devices, digital & interactive vending machines, and the wireless delivery of software - are creating opportunities for brands and marketers to connect and interact with their customers more richly. We will share how are clients are leveraging these tools, and our vision of where it is all going.Advertising, Illustration2012
Ever wonder why Google isn't very helpful in finding something fun to do tonight? Search engines have gotten really good at finding information that literally matches our keywords, but they fall short when our needs and priorities are either hard to express or hard to match directly to the target content. These limitations are giving rise to a new set of search experiences based on semantic understanding and recommendations that are personal, social, and contextual. Companies like Netflix, Yelp and Pandora have kicked off the first wave of new search. By focusing on searching by how we naturally think, talk and feel about the matter at hand, we can begin to find information that's relevant to us both logically and emotionally. In this panel, we will look at the emerging technologies and user experiences that are creating the next big thing for the search industry.Advertising, Illustration2012
We will focus on examples of how mobile devices are bringing healthcare to underserved communities in rural Africa. How can we diagnose pneumonia with a machine hooked up to a cell phone?

And, what can the US learn about these experiments vis-a-vis privacy, rural access, and cost containment.Advertising, Illustration2012
The business plan, as a tool to lure potential investors, secure early customers, and guide the direction of your business, is a dying construct. Smart entrepreneurs realize that a prototype is worth a thousand business plans. This panel will focus on prototypes as a tool to accelerate the success of your business, and will have a particular emphasis on the role of prototyping in business modeling, fund raising, product development, and sales. We'll talk specifically about how prototyping can allow you to more efficiently allocate resources (both talent, time and money), discover customers' unmet needs, outsmart the competition, and move potential investors from interested to infatuated.Advertising, Illustration2012
Are you curious about the new brain game design industry? **Have you explored the options of including a neuroscientist on your team of interactive and immersive media designers? Today, interactive and immersive media design draws on contemporary neuroscience to leverage the best odds of playing "somatosensory," "memory," "dopamine reward" and "inhibitory control" systems in the human brain and extended nervous system. From animated narrative scripting to skill building brain games or "apps", functional knowledge of the human brain gives the 21st media designer an edge in working across the spectrum of interactive and immersive game media. This session starts with two simple, critical questions: What does neuroscience and cognitive science hold for the future of interactive and immersive media design? How can media designers prepare now for a future where "brain smart" games will be the means by which we learn, play, invent and transform lives through interactive media? Join us and find out.Advertising, Illustration2012
As the film industry digs deep into the world of comics and graphic novels for source material, how do writers, directors and producers assess the best way to get it to the screen to entice fanpeople and newbies alike?

Do your 500 "friends" on social networks really know what you will like? How many of your friends' shared links that you click each day are interesting to you? The social graph brings trust and meaning to the web, but often creates information overload from over-sharing. And because real-time updates and feeds emphasize recency over relevance, rare gems often fall through the cracks. This talk will discuss the issues and considerations when designing a personalized discovery engine, one that combines the social, peer and taste graphs to produce relevant, peer-sourced recommendations and serendipitous discovery of new online content. StumbleUpon CEO Garrett Camp will go over the concepts and mechanisms behind such recommendation systems, and highlight findings from analysis of StumbleUpon's database of over 15 billion personalized stumbles.Advertising, Illustration2012

Influential people, from journalists and entrepreneurs to investors and developers are idea-generators shaping the ideas we drool over and discuss et infinitum. But who are these people leading the charge? How did they come to be, and rise above the rest to gather a following? Sites like Twitter and Facebook are now testing grounds for quantifying the world's leaders. But do we understand what influence means and what variables are really at play? We all know that a follower count means nothing, but what does a RT mean? Or better yet, what does an @reply by Scoble mean vs. one from Arrington? Beneath the surface is where the science gets really interesting. In this panel you'll hear from the experts who are distilling influence down to it's basic components. They'll explain tips for increasing influence, which variables really matter and the types of influence they are discovering across the web.Advertising, Illustration2012

Social media is becoming an essential tool for activists in repressive societies. In 2009 the Iranian government expelled foreign media and jammed international broadcasts. For the BBC's Persian TV emails, video, Twitter and Facebook postings from Iran became the main source of news. Groundbreaking stories were complied using material from viewers and listeners. In the Xingjian province of China government censors were defeated by a tweet - news of a popular uprising amongst the regions Uighurs in this remote province leaked out to the world's media. A military clampdown ensued, but not before foreign media got to the region and heard the Uighurs grievances. Conversely the oppressors use the same social media tools, partly to spread disinformation about their activities, but also in the cases of groups such as the Taliban, to push their beliefs. The panel will discuss how censorship and suppression is made more and more difficult to hide by the social media revolution, and the impact of this for traditional media organizations.Advertising, Illustration2012
The United States consumes more energy than it produces and is the second biggest emitter of CO2 in the world (behind China). If the United States truly chooses to become a greener country, then major improvements in our infrastructure (buildings and transportation) will have to be made. The green movement in the United States has yet to reach a tipping point. Companies either do not know how to lower their energy consumption and carbon footprint, or they are not implementing the projects fast enough. Fortunately, there are signs that we are now more green than ever. This panel will highlight three companies that you probably haven't heard of that are implementing green strategies.Advertising, Illustration2012
At kids soccer games around the country, hyperconnected Dads tweet about trivia to pass the time. Meanwhile, as you walk into a supposedly social event, people all around you pull out their devices to "check in" on Foursquare or Gowalla. Through the night, people continue sharing their real feelings and thoughts not with the person in front of them but to their audience of "followers" on Twitter, making a real life social event feel decidedly ANTI-social. Sound familiar? As technology allows us to share every moment instantaneously online, are we missing out on what is right in front us? And if so, is the only solution to turn our gadgets off, or is there some imaginary line of balance that we can strike? This session will explore those questions, and the anti-social path that our always-connectedness may be leading us towards. Most importantly, we'll try to uncover how you might fight back and reclaim your humanity from the social media bubble around you.Advertising, Illustration2012

The public infrastructure of our cities are obscure structures whose workings are not accessible to most citizens. What if every sensor in our cities would have a Web API anyone could access in real-time and mashup? Open and easy to use Web platforms that enable efficient integration, processing, storage, and access to the enormous amount of data digital cities generate are increasingly needed, and we'll explore the various technologies that are making such solutions possible. Furthermore, we'll go much more beyond the technical aspects of such a platform to address the more controversial implications of such an Orwellian scenario. Hopefully, this session will provide a forum for the different disciplines involved in the design of future cities to establish a common ground for better interdisciplinary cooperation and understanding in this area.Advertising, Illustration2012

Chattanooga Lady Mocs Basketball Postgame Quotes
Chattanooga vs. Samford
The McKenzie Arena - Chattanooga, Tenn.
Wednesday - Feb. 6, 2013
Chattanooga Head Coach Wes Moore
Thoughts on game
"You have to take your hats off to Samford. They came in here and did a great job in making it tough for us to get inside in the first half. I think at their place we forced 23 turnovers, and tonight we only forced 11. They did a much better job. I told our kids that we have to be careful and not just assume that we'll win just because we're at home. We've had a nice streak here, but you got to bring it every night. So we got to be careful of that. I think it was an example, too, in the second half of a senior who just refused to lose. I thought Kayla Christopher, we talked at halftime, and she had only taken one shot. I just told that you're going to have to get shots up. People in the league, they watch film. They know what she can do. So it's not easy. They're going to put somebody on her, and make it difficult for her to get looks. I thought she stepped up, and was very determined to get it done. I thought it was the difference in the ballgame to honest. Taylor Hall, 10 boards. Tatianna Jackson again giving us a big lift off the bench, making plays and turning turnovers into layups. Several people came to the rescue on a tough night. At least from where I was, it was like getting a root canal. It wasn't a whole lot of fun."
Thoughts on Kayla taking long threes
"She's got the green light when she crosses half court. That's the only stipulation. Again, that's not an ideal situation, but when it's hard to get a shot off. If you've got an opening, take it. In her case, yes. She's shooting the ball extremely well this year, from the three point line in particular. We're in one of these stretches where we have five games in ten days. It's not real conducive to working on things that you need to get better at. Obviously, we got to keep working on ways to get her shots. We got to keep working on our posts in doing a better job in getting big and sealing. Then our guards getting on the ball, and making the correct pass. We got lots of things that we need to work on. They dug deep and found a way to get it done. So I'm proud of them from that standpoint."
Thoughts on going small in the last ten minutes
"To be honest with you, it was more about defense. Obviously, if they were scoring every time down the court, you would overlook the defense a little bit more. Taylor Reece is a great player that we tried to recruit here, and she was eating us up. So we went small, and tried to keep the ball out of her hands. It's tough, but they had three kids who were scoring well for them. You got to try to shut those folks down, and the best way to do that is not let them get the ball."
Thoughts on guarding Taylor Reece last game and tonight's
I'll be honest with you. Down there, she just got in the zone. I don't know how else to explain it. She was 15 for 18 or something like that down there. It was something unbelievable. Down there I thought we did a decent job of a few times having a hand up, and she still just found a way to knock them down. You just have nights like that. Kylie and Tatianna were on her most of the night, but a lot of people had to switch on to her and did a great job. It was a nice effort from that standpoint."
Kayla Christopher, senior, guard
Thoughts on her play
"I didn't really get a lot of good looks in the first half and coach told me to be more aggressive in the second half. Once you hit one, you get more confidence and it's all good from there.
Thoughts on her 20+ foot shots
"Honestly, I don't even realize it in the moment. When you're in the zone, sometimes you're feeling good and don't realize how far out you actually are."
On the Lady Mocs play off the bench
"I think we have a really deep roster and so it works to our advantage. On any given night, anyone can step up and I think this show how much of a balanced team we really are."
Thoughts at the half
"We went into halftime knowing we had let some of their players get some good open looks, but it was more about what we needed to do for the second half. We held them less than 30 points in the first half, which we wanted to do. I think we just needed to come out in the second half more patient on offense and get good open looks.
Taylor Hall, junior, forward
On the difference between the first and second half
"We knocked down some big shots, which gets us going on both ends of the floor. I think we stepped up on defense as well and took out some of their hot players, which made a difference, as well. We know we had to step on defense and play more up tempo. We went with it and it worked out pretty well"
Thoughts on what the team has to improve on
"I think we still have room for improvement. Like on defense, getting to their good players, knocking down our shots, and running the plays like we need to. I think there's a little bit of work to do and we'll get it together for the tournament."

An outpouring of support from people within the community for those impacted by the fire on Saturday afternoon at the Aiken Training Track continues to resonate loudly.
Legacy Stable leased the barns at the training facility that were heavily damaged as a result of the blaze, and one of their clients was Dogwood Stable.
The president of Dogwood Stable, W. Cothran Campbell, is among those showing his support for the community's response to the incident.
"Dogwood Stable is of course, distressed over the loss of what is often known as the 'Dogwood Barn,' but indeed is a barn operated by Brad Stauffer and Ron Stevens in the name of Legacy Stable, and which had been home for the Dogwood Stable horses for many years while they received their training here in Aiken. So it is often referred to as the 'Dogwood Barn,' but, technically, it isn't."
The efforts of those in bringing the 24 horses to safety is something that Campbell is grateful for, but it's the outpouring of support of people within the community that has had an impact.
"It's dreadful that this barn – which has housed for many decades some of the greatest horses of all time – is virtually destroyed," said Campbell. "Thankfully, the horses that were stabled there were removed quickly by the heroic efforts of some former Legacy employees and other horseman from nearby. "
But it's the community's reaction during a time of adversity that has an incredible visceral depth, one of warmth and kindness.
"The outreach of Aikenites to Dogwood Stable – and more importantly to Ron Stevens and Brad Stauffer – has been typical of the community, and comparable in emotion to the joy demonstrated by Aiken when our good colt Palace Malice won the Belmont Stakes on June 8," said Campbell. "When this tragedy occurred, my wife Anne and I were in Saratoga for the seven-week-long race meeting. We have been moved by the many messages from well wishers around the country."
The fire itself didn't interfere with Legacy Stable's training program, as horses were back on the surface of the Aiken Training Track on Monday morning, said Campbell.
"Although we are proud of the fact that some of our finest horses have been stabled in this barn – it bears remembering that the powerful Greentree Stable was there first, beginning in the 1940s," said Campbell. "If those stalls could talk, what stories they could tell."

I'm looking for a simple way to rearrange blocks of text within filenames as a batch process.
The reason is that I enjoy listening to old US radio adventure and scifi series from the 1940s and 50s, such as Suspense, Escape and DimensionX. A lot of shows are in circulation but the file naming style varies - for example showname-date-episodenumber-episodetitle.mp3 or showname-episodenumber-date-episodetitle and so on. I'd like to be able to get a consistent set of names to help identify duplicates etc.
The program would need to take a filename of the form AxBxCxDxE.*, where A,B,C,D and E are blocks of text of at least one character, and x represents a spacer character which could be any valid character for XP filenames. It would then rearrange the name to, for example BxExDxCxA.*, or whatever sequence was required, and repeat the process for all of the files in a specified folder.
I imagine the interface would be a window with three boxes - one box to specify the folder containing the files to me renamed (ideally with the usual browse button), one box to specify the spacer character and one box to list the required sequence of text block in the new file names.
An alternative would be a command line program where the command would look something like:
c:\path\program c:\folder x 53214
where the files are located in c:\folder, the spacer character is x and the rename process would be AxBxCxDxE.* changed to ExCxBxAxD.*
Ideally the program should handle filenames with up to 9 blocks of text
I've searched the net for a suitable program but only found one which claimed to be able to do it. Unfortunately it had vast numbers of options (total overkill for this application), had a confusing interface and was very poorly documented. As a result I never managed to get it to work properly
A simple solution would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

GoMocs.com 3-part series: Point Guards | Wings | Posts (Today)
CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.---Basketball season is right around the corner. The Chattanooga Mocs are hard at work preparing for the upcoming campaign.
GoMocs.com completes its three-part season preview series today highlighting the posts. The previous looks at the point guards and wings are linked above. The game preview for Covenant launches on Wednesday, November 7, with a special "Chaos" page with video and infographics due on "Chaos Eve", Thursday, November 8.
All this leads into the season opener on Friday, November 8 at 5:30 p.m. Chattanooga starts off with a doubleheader with the men facing nearby Covenant, while the Lady Mocs welcome Alabama into McKenzie Arena in the night cap.
The post features the Mocs top returning scorer and rebounder, along with an explanation. The fours and fives, or power forward and center, come with names such as "mismatch" and "madman" in Chaos.
The mismatch guy typically is a smaller four who uses quickness and athleticism as an advantage over bigger fours. The madman is at the front of the press…someone with incredible energy and enthusiasm establishing a chaotic presence the moment the Mocs transition from offense to defense.
Z. Mason (14.9, 7.6) is the story when it comes to the post. The veteran four led the Mocs in scoring and rebounding earning All-SoCon mention last season. He is poised for a strong 2013-14.
He's looking to become just the eighth Moc to top 1,000 points and 500 rebounds in his career. As a smaller four at 6-6, 235-lbs., Mason is a key at the mismatch position which maximizes his quickness and skill.
Junior Lance Stokes (2.9, 2.1) is a mad man. Not in a dangerous way mind you, rather that's just his job description in "CHAOS". He has the high-energy job at the front of the press. His length there will serve him as will his quickness guarding in the post.
Junior Martynas Bareika (3.2, 2.4) and freshman T.J. Williams (Wilmington, N.C.) provide depth at the four and five. Bareika, who has bulked up to 215 pounds, moves to the post from the wing this year. He should use his quickness as an advantage at both ends of the floor.
Williams is the biggest player on the Mocs squad eligible to compete this season. He comes in with a strong ability to score in the post. He has a variety of moves and is the best back-to-the-basket performer offensively for the Mocs.
"Our two mismatch guys are Z. Mason and Marty Bareika. The mismatch position is very critical for us.
"Z. is somebody I think that can be the league player of the year. He has can score in the post, in the mid-range and is a very good three-point shooter. He can drive from the perimeter. We're going to use Z. a lot of different ways. We are going to give him a great opportunity for success offensively.
"We moved Marty from the wing to the mismatch. It fits his skillset very well. He's a guy who can make shots for us. He quick and we've added some bulk so he can battle in the post. He'll be able to attack and use his quickness to his advantage against bigger guys in the post.
"Lance has really bought in to being the 'Madman'. That's going to be his identity for us. He has to have high energy being on the ball…being all over the ball. He's going to be a guy who goes all-out all the time, flying around the court making plays happen.
"T.J. Williams is our best back-to-basket scorer. He can score a lot of ways down there. We're working on him in using his body down low. We're excited what he brings as a low post presence."
It is a big competition weekend for Chattanooga. Titled "Beat Week", both basketball teams and the wrestling squad open their seasons on Friday. The Southern Conference leading Mocs football squad hosts a key league matchup with Wofford the next day. Four major events will be completed within a 24-hour window.
The campus kicks off "Beat Week" tomorrow, Tuesday, November 5, with a Pool Party Pep Rally. Starting at 5:30 p.m., there will be a wealth of activities with free food and giveaways at the fabulous Aquatic and Recreation Center across the street from McKenzie Arena.
There are three options to pre-purchase tickets for one or more games as the season approaches. Season tickets as well as a flex plan are available along with the single-game option. Season tickets went on sale a few weeks ago. They can be purchased for as little as $125. Purchase Season tickets, on sale for as little as $125, or the Basketball Flex Plan for $99. Click the links for more information or call the UTC Ticket Office at (423) 266-MOCS (6627).GoMocs.com is the official website of the Chattanooga Mocs. The Mocs can also be followed on their official Facebook page or on Twitter. Find out how to join the UTC Mocs Club and support more than 300 student-athletes by clicking here.

When to make a method static in Java

nice explanation. thanks
how marker interface works internally. can you post regarding this topic.

Static is good to use. I prefer to make all method static and make object static, this way I can use method of any object from any other object without stupid use of references and new().
The new() operation should never have been put into the Java language. It is a terrible concept when you can simply declare everything static and make develop much easier.

can you provide some thoughts on making a method static or not with respect to multithreading?
- July 29, 2013 at 1:04 AM
- Satyam said...
In addition to the answer to the above question who asked on making a method static or not with respect to multithreading?
If an method which is changing the state of an object and that object is used by multiple resources (resource could also be an object such as User,or any entity dependent on the changed object) then we can't make it static.Therefore an object operated in multi-threaded environment changing state of an object cannot be static.

Hi Javin,please put some emphasize on second point as well in brief i.e when we need to call a method without using any instance such as Single threaded task i.e where only one object active at a time.
Great article

Thanks for this insightful article. This is the first time I know about use of static methods, in past I didn't even know about how to call a static method, but once I know that you can call them just by using class name, I am kind of making every method static in my code. This gives me so many error like you can not use non static members in static context, then I started making all my member variable static, now my program is working fine. Do you think its right? Does making all variable and method static has any disadvantage in Java?
- January 20, 2014 at 5:41 PM

One reason to make your method static must be performance. Static method Invocations is 15%-20% faster than virtual method invocation. It's also good programming practice, because you can tell from the method signature that calling the method can't alter the object's state.

text: Bobbi Brown Pink Tulle High Shimmer Lipgloss ($23.00 for 0.24 fl. oz.) is described as a "hot pink with pearl." it's a translucent light-medium pink with lots of silver sparkle. On my lips, it enhances the natural pink coloring found in my lips and gives them a truer pink look (less washed out, since my natural lip color is rather corpse-like). If you have more pigmented lips, it's going to resemble clear gloss with a truckload of sparkle. MAC Floating Lotus is lighter and has finer shimmer. MAC Sweet Bean has finer shimmer. Bobbi Brown Pastel is much lighter, milkier. MAC Sueprglass has flaky shimmer instead.
