How to get skate banana??
Hey all.
So I feel like I got my moneys worth on my 1st "learner" board (A K2 Fuse) and after much research, have decided to spoil myself, if possible, with a new Lib Tech skate banana for next season.
I am still fairly new to snowboarding. I didn't even know they released new models/ updated models of snowboards each year, until recently.
So I have been searching for bananas, and had little luck.
So my question is....To get a 2010 skate banana, do I just have to be the first in line at the board shop when they come in? Or will they let you reserve them?
When do the years newer models generaly get released to the public?
Sorry if any of this sounds dumb. I tried to find this info on my own, but little luck.
i wanna say they come out in oct/nov but am not sure. if you're buying full retail i don't think it would be hard at all to snag a banana.
you dont need to worry at all about not be able to get a banana, once they come out like the post above says which is usaully in oct, nov., they will be easy to find on most snowboarding websites and stores but they will just be at full retail price. Usually if you want to buy them on sale you will have to wait for the season to end and look on websites.
The hype behind the banana has passed they aren't selling out as fast as they used to. You'll find one no problem.
The 2010 banana graphics look really good. I wasn't a big fan of the 09 zebra stripe. Either way I have my eyes set on a Never Summer Circuit as soon as my local shop gets one. Thanks BA for the recommendation on that one.
how much can i expect the '10 bananas to be?
Like $430. Maybe less. I can't remember now. I know my TRS was $560 and I remember thinking the banana was WAY less
goddamn i want one

A jury will soon deliberate the fate of a couple charged in connection to the death of a 6 month-old baby.
Wednesday morning, Roy Rankin's defense attorney gave closing arguments in the murder case against him. Samantha Monahan's attorney and prosecutors will present their cases Wednesday afternoon.
Police charged the couple in the death of Monahan's 6 month-old daughter Cecelia Alvarado.
Prosecutors say the two abused the infant and Rankin murdered her.
The jury had to hear closing arguments from the prosecution before starting deliberations.
Last week, Samantha Monahan told a Lexington jury each time little Cecilia Alvarado was hurt it was an accident. And as for what killed the infant back in 2005, Monahan says she's sure it wasn't her boyfriend who killed her.

Come Dine With Me SA cannedComment on this story
Johannesburg - Come Dine With Me South Africa has been cancelled.
This local version of the hit BBC show, in which four strangers each host a dinner party in an attempt to win a cash prize, lasted just three seasons on the BBC Entertainment channel on DStv.
Although viewers enjoyed the first two seasons, which were packed with oddball characters and petty squabbles, the concept seemed to run out of steam in season 3. According to Media.24, there were also complaints about the over-commercialisation of the series.
According to Joel Churcher, the vice president and general manager Africa for BBC Worldwide, there will be no Come Dine With Me SA season 4, but they are are looking to produce a new local format show.
"Come Dine With Me South Africa was a huge hit for BBC Entertainment and we are very proud of the series," he said.
"We feel the time is right to take this experience and seek new opportunities for a fresh, innovative local format for audiences to enjoy. We are committed to investing in the very best quality programming for our channels and are actively looking at all opportunities." - Tonight Reporter

10th Anniversary of the Community of Democracies in Krakow, July 2-4, 2010
Former Prime Minister of Ukraine, Yulia Tymoshenko, takes part
in a panel on Women for Democracy at the HLDM
From July 2-4, 2010, the High Level Democracy Meeting commemorating the 10th Anniversary of the Community of Democracies took place in Krakow, Poland. The event, organized by the Ministry of the Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland with the Permanent Secretariat of the Community of Democracies, hosted over 100 democracy and human rights activists, representatives of non-governmental organizations, international and national press in addition to ministers and ambassadors from over 70 democratic countries from around the world, including US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Foreign Minister of Sweden Carl Bildt, President of the European Parliament Jerzy Buzek, Foreign Minister of Indonesia Raden Natalegawa and many others. Also in attendance were former heads of state as special guests, NGO participants, young diplomats, parliamentarians and one of the CD's founders, former US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright.
The weekend commemoration event focused on ways to overcome barriers faced by civil society in promoting and strengthening global democracy as well as efforts to revitalize the CD. Working Groups, which feature governmental and civil society participants, met on July 2 to discuss such issues as gender equality, enabling and protecting civil society, regional cooperation, reform of the CD, threats to democracy and poverty, development and democracy. Thematic panels were also held, focused on the contributions of activists, women and new technologies towards democracy.
The Council for a Community of Democracies, which serves as the secretariat for the International Steering Committee, a network of 25 democracy activists from around the world, also released the Second Edition of its publication, The Diplomat's Handbook for Democracy Development Support, which features new case studies on Egypt and Cuba and may be found on its website: www.diplomatshandbook.org. It also features a greatly expanded resource list of donor and democracy support organizations around the world as well as a compendium, thanks to CIVICUS, that outlines which international covenants support the core freedoms of expression, association and assembly for civil society. In tandem with the release of the Second Edition of the Handbook, CCD announced in Krakow the creation of the Palmer Prize for Significant Contributions to the Advancement of Democracy by Diplomats, which will be awarded at the Vilnius Ministerial in 2011.
Using the metaphor of a three-legged stool in her speech to conference participants, United States Secretary of State Hillary Clinton stated that representative government, a well-functioning market, and civil society were vital components of a vibrant democracy – and that all three pillars "lift and support nations as they reach for higher standards of progress and prosperity." Commenting on the current "democracy recession" around the world - marked by such actions as 50 countries having passed new restrictions against NGOs in the last six years - and focusing much of her speech on the civil society leg of democracy, Clinton cautioned "We must be wary of the steel vise in which many governments around the world are slowly crushing civil society and the human spirit." Reasserting the importance of civil society, Clinton stated, "For us and for every country, civil society is essential to political and economic progress. Even in the most challenging environments, civil society can help improve lives and empower citizens."
Specifically addressing the Community of Democracies in a White House press release, US President Barack Obama stated, "This forum also challenges us to act collectively, as a community of democratic nations, to support countries undergoing democratic transitions and to push back against threats to democratic progress." Echoing Clinton's speech, President Obama also noted that civil society around the globe has been subjected to numerous government crackdowns, and said that governments should be proactively working to ensure citizen freedom, not contributing to corruption. In closing, President Obama stated, "I welcome this celebration of the Community's first ten years and believe that its role in fostering strong and effective cooperation among the world's democracies is essential for confronting the challenges ahead. Working together in partnership, we can advance the dignity of all human beings and the rights that are universal."
Paul Graham, Chairman of the International Steering Committee of the Community of Democracies, concluded in his remarks to conference participants that, "Kowtowing to bullies while ignoring the plight of their victims is not non-interference - it is cowardice. Where would South Africa be, friends, if your citizens and your predecessors in government had stood aside? All delegates to this 10th anniversary regarding commitment have received the Diplomat's Handbook for Democracy Development Support. In it you will read of courageous men and women, citizens and public officials from all our countries who did indeed stimulate democracy - not because it was a product their country was exporting, but because through it they had become human and because they understood that others sought only the same right. As John Kennedy said, we choose to stimulate democracy not because it is easy, but because it is hard. Let the Community of Democracies lead us out of recession."
In honor of the late Polish Foreign Minister and CD founder Bronislaw Geremek, the CD awarded its Geremek Award to Father Jose Conrado Rodriguez of Santa Teresita parish in Santiago de Cuba for his outstanding achievement in democracy promotion in Cuba. An interview with Father Conrado may be read here.
This conference also served the purpose of announcing the creation of the Corporate Democracy Forum, as a "critical third pillar of the Community of Democracies" and as "key participants in the democratic process." The full press release is online.
The Working Groups each developed recommendations regarding their future work in relation to democracy to create the Global Democracy Work Plan, which will serve as an outline of the work to be conducted by the CD leading up to and beyond the Vilnius Ministerial in 2011.
Professor Larry Diamond, director of the Center for Democracy, Development, and the Rule of Law at Stanford University, made a speech to the Convening Group on the current state of democracy around the world and may be read here.
On July 1, the Council for a Community of Democracies convened a meeting of democracy activists and civil society leaders from around the world. To read a press release on the participation of civil society in this conference, please click here.
David Kilgour, a former Canadian Parliamentarian and one of the vice-presidents of the CD Parliamentary Forum for Democracy, addressed other parliementarians at the CD Conference in Krakow, whose remarks may be found here.
CCD also announced the creation of its Palmer Prize for Significant Contributions to the Advancement of Democracy by Diplomats in Krakow, which will be awarded at the Vilnius Ministerial in 2011.

State laws mandate that municipalities must solicit numerous bids from companies for products and services that exceed certain cost thresholds. The laws aim at promoting competition and to ensure the municipality receives a fair price on goods.
State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli's Office is accusing Herkimer County of wrongfully entering into contracts with private companies for products and services without soliciting the proper number of bids required by law. The county's current procedures also do not allow the county Ethics Board to properly review disclosure of interest forms filed by county employees.
State laws mandate that municipalities must solicit numerous bids from companies for products and services that exceed certain cost thresholds. The laws aim at promoting competition and to ensure the municipality receives a fair price on goods.
"We found that the purchasing officer and his deputy did not always comply with general municipal law and the County's procurement policy when approving purchases that required competitive bids or price quotes," the Comptroller wrote in the audit.
A purchasing officer told the state Comptroller's Office that a high turnover rate at the office was the reason for a lack of compliance, according to the audit.
An unnamed department head did not solicit bids for a $103,000 purchase from a professional service provide and did not provide any justification for the action, the audit claims.
The Comptroller's Office claims that from January 2008 to June 2009:
* Of 39 purchases, totaling more than $4.3 million, which require being competitively bid, that one was not competitively bid and five were procured without required verbal price quotes.
* Of 21 purchases, totaling more than $4.2 million, which would require competitive bids that five purchases totaling more than $1.1 million were procured from single vendor bids.
"The purchasing officer did not determine the reason or reasons why the County did not receive multiple bids, survey other potential bidders to understand why they did not respond to the County's request for bids, and did not always report to the Legislature that the County received only one bid when soliciting competitive bids for purchases," according to the audit.
The state is also accusing the county of not having an adequate process in place to allow the Ethics Board to review disclosure of interest forms for officials and employees involved in the procurement process.
The state is requesting that the county Legislature and Purchasing Office make sure contracts are awarded only after the proper bidding process is followed and that procedures are developed so verbal quotes can be documented and retained. The county should also develop a process updating the list of positions required to file disclosure forms, ensuring officials and employees involved in the purchasing process are included on the list.
In a written response to the state, Herkimer Legislature Chairman Raymond Smith said he does not agree with all of the Comptroller's accusations and that additional information was provided to the state after an initial version of the audit was provided to the county.
Page 2 of 2 - "Herkimer County has no objection to following up with bidders when only one bid if received to the extent our resources allow," Smith wrote. "However, the Purchasing Department has always placed more importance on attempting to reach as many potential bidders as possible prior to bid."

Foods and Drinks to Rev You Up
Updated: Friday, May 10 2013, 09:23 AM CDT
Dietitian Jen Heringhausen from the Marion Road Hy-Vee showed us great foods and drinks to give you energy without a crash!
Fatigue is not fun. Worry, frustration, lack of sleep, anxiety, illness and poor diet are the top causes. Even mild forms of exhaustion can weigh heavily on our emotional and physical wellbeing. While most of us suffer from fatigue some of the time, there are many people who suffer from it all the time. Exhaustion is one of the most common complaints brought to doctors.
Fortunately, one of the best ways to fight fatigue is with energy-boosting foods. Don't rely completely on energy drinks or energy "shots" for a quick fix. These energy-boosting foods and drinks are loaded with good-for-you ingredients that will keep you full, focused and energized.
Here are some of the best choices you can make:
1. Nuts: Nuts are good sources of several essential nutrients needed to fight fatigue and boost energy. Copper, magnesium, selenium and calcium are some of the nut nutrients needed for balanced energy levels. Nuts are also high in Vitamin E, which is a powerful antioxidant that prevents disease, keeping the body energized and well balanced.
2. Water: Drink water regularly throughout the day, especially during a workout, in order to stay hydrated. Thirst is a sign that your energy is depleted.
3. Whole grain pasta: Carbohydrates are stored in the body as glucose, which is the fuel that muscles need. Whole grain pasta is a good source of fiber as well, which will keep you full for longer periods of time.
4. Quinoa: With its B vitamins and easily digested proteins and carbohydrates, quinoa is known as an energy food. Its beneficial complex carbohydrates are metabolized over an extended time for sustained stamina.
5. Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt has twice as much protein as traditional yogurt, so it's the perfect foundation for a substantial morning meal or post-workout snack.
6. Soybeans (edamame): These are a great pick-me-up because they're easy to make, easy to transport, and fun to eat right out of the shell. Plus they're a great combo food – high in protein, carbohydrate and fiber.
7. Lentils: These legumes are high in iron; a cup has nearly 80 percent of your daily recommended needs. Getting enough of the mineral iron is key. Without it, your blood can't properly carry oxygen through your body, making you feel wiped out. Eat lentils with a vitamin C–rich food such as bell peppers; this vitamin maximizes iron absorption.
8. Eggs: With 6 grams of the highest quality protein and 14 key nutrients, eggs provide the energy needed to keep you going. They are a natural choice for a healthy, active lifestyle. Eggs are one of the few foods considered to be a complete protein, because they contain all nine essential amino acids which help form protein.
9. Coffee: A moderate amount of coffee before exercising has been shown to help improve both performance and endurance. It also enhances alertness and motivation, facilitates thought formation and concentration, and decreases mental fatigue. Within a daily dosage range of 300 milligrams of caffeine per day (two to three cups of coffee), coffee can be a great energy-boosting choice.
10. Berries: One cup of raspberries or blackberries has 8 grams of fiber. High-fiber foods release sugar into your bloodstream more slowly, so you won't have peaks and crashes.

Salt Lake City — Today the Salt Lake City office of CBRE announced that Let's Play Sports has purchased 3.26 acres in West Jordan with the intent of expanding its facilities. Tab Cornelison, senior vice president at CBRE, represented Let's Play Sports in the transaction.
The site, located at 1120 West 7800 South in West Jordan, is within close proximity of the Jordan River Parkway and Gardner Village. The company has plans to build two new indoor fields which should be open for use before the end of 2013.
"The popularity of soccer leagues is rapidly increasing, and finding the right location in which to expand Let's Play Sports' services was a key factor in this process," said Tab Cornelison. "West Jordan turned out to be the perfect fit."
This will be the company's fifth Utah location; they currently have facilities in Murray, Woods Cross, Ogden and Lindon.

This week we are in stunning Crans-sur-Sierre for the Omega European Masters!
This week is one of the players' favourite stops on the European Tour - Crans-sur-Sierre seems to be loved for the great atmosphere in the town as much the spectacular course and views.
But it is serious business this week, as the Race to Dubai hots up and players seek places at the season finale.
At 6,891 yards and playing to a par of 71, the course is not overly long. But small firm greens will make scoring tough and accurate approach shots will be needed to be in the mix come Sunday.
At the time of writing, Titleist ball loyalists Robert Coles and Rhys Davies are sharing the clubhouse lead with one other at -5.

Noteworthy: GPC news in brief
Campuses to host programs on domestic violence
Lt. Kimberly Ware heard the stories about abusive relationships again and again. As a Georgia Perimeter College public safety officer on Newton Campus, she regularly hosted conflict resolution meetings for students, but she saw the need to do more.
Then in 2009, a GPC student was shot and killed by her boyfriend— also a GPC student—at a local gas station. Ware knew she had to act.
"It made me realize we needed to have something here at the college," says Ware. "I didn't want her death to be in vain."
With the help of the college's counseling and advising team, Ware launched informational domestic violence panels on all the campuses in 2009. Held each year in October, during Domestic Violence month, the programs include conversations with local judges and police officers.
"They are able to answer legal questions; they give examples of what they see on a daily basis," she says. Students have the opportunity to speak to a judge or a police officer whether or not they themselves are a victim in crisis, she adds.
"We give them a voice to talk about what's going on. We want to educate them and make them aware of domestic violence and how to recognize it," says Ware. "Just to get our students to talk is helpful. You don't want to wait until they're dead or disfigured."
The schedule for this year's domestic violence programs is as follows.
Oct. 21: Decatur Campus, SF 2100
Oct. 22: Dunwoody Campus, NC-1100
Oct. 23: Newton Campus, N-2 1100
Oct. 24, Clarkston Campus, JCLRC-1100
Oct. 28, Alpharetta Campus, A-1140
All sessions are from noon to 2 p.m. and are open to the public. For more information, contact Ware at 678-891-2678.
Gift provides needed dental care and gives Dental Hygiene students experience
Georgia Perimeter College's dental hygiene students are getting experience and providing needed dental care to an underserved population in Walton County, thanks to a $15,000 gift from the Walton County Health Care Foundation.
The check was presented at a luncheon ceremony Sept. 25. The monies will fund a dentist's services and materials for students working at the Faith In Serving Humanity dental clinic in Monroe.
Many patients at the clinic are receiving dental care for the first time. "Students have an opportunity to educate patients about improving oral health and therefore improving systemic health," says Cherie Rainwater, chair of the GPC Dental Hygiene program.
"It's very rewarding," says second-year DH student Cecille Jones. "The people who come here are low-income patients. They really express how grateful they are." Her classmate Teresa Harnett adds, "We talk about community involvement, but until you really do it, you don't really appreciate the difference you can make."
"Our focus is to enhance the health care of Walton County," says Dr. Henry Wall, chair of the Walton County Health Care Foundation. "We look for two things when we give money: helping students who are interested in nursing, dental care or medical school, and where we can help increase the availability of health care," he says. "This gift helps us do both."
Youth and Violence forum planned at GPC Dunwoody
Students will have a chance to share their views—and their solutions—to the problem of youth violence during an Oct. 29 event at GPC's Dunwoody Campus.
The program on "Youth and Violence: Reducing the Threat" will include a moderated forum and a question-and-answer session. "Youth and Violence" is part of the "Bridging Cultures to Form a New Nation" program sponsored by the Community College Humanities Association and funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Ted Wadley and Dr. Rosalyn Jacobs, both Dunwoody humanities instructors, are leading the project at GPC.
"This is a great model for civic engagement and giving students a voice," says Jacobs. "The National Issues forums take issues that are important in society today, present three approaches to the topics and generate discussion from the audience. It's a systematic way to think about problems and solutions."
The forum, which is free and open to the public, will take place 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. Oct. 29 in the Dunwoody Auditorium, NC-1100. For more information, contact Ted Wadley at 770-274-5470.
Newton plans symposium on "Cultural Revolution"
"Cultural Revolution" will be the theme of the 2013 Newton Campus Fall Symposium Nov. 12-14.
"Every year, we set aside a few days for a symposium—a celebration of learning—that takes an in-depth look at a particular subject from various points of view," says Jane Hercules, Newton communications instructor and symposium chair.
"This year faculty, students, staff and guest speakers will address how America's culture is adapting to changes in science, law, worship, movies and social networking," she says. "Our hope is that, by exploring these ideas and concerns together, various communities will find common ground on which to build America's rich, multi-cultural foundation."
Light refreshments will be served between major sessions. The event is sponsored by the Newton Student Government Association and the Newton Symposium committee and is free and open to the public.
For more information, contact Hercules at firstname.lastname@example.com 770-978-9020.

Just planted Shrubs. two snowballs and two azalea bushes.
Now onto my garden befor the bugs come out.

------Ecclesiastes 11:7,8 Nothing on earth is more beautiful than the morning sun. Even if you live to a ripe old age, you should try to enjoy each day, because darkness will come and will last a long time. (CEV)
Our anniversary is June 20th and it will be 20 years for us this year -- we've already done our usual buying season's tickets to the outdoor theatre and will be seeing Footloose at the end of this month and Annie in August. We will also go on a hike & picnic on the actual day.
We usually plan our "active holiday" for June but this year we had to put it off to late August/early September since youngest DS is getting married on July 7th and we will have to travel for that.
Also have oldest son's birthday this month (18th) and his wife's on the 30th.
So all in all a busy month. Will be planting the last of my plants tomorrow and then hope to get started on sanding my front door frame -- it desperately needs a good coat of paint (as do both the front door and garage door).

I have two anniversaries this month. My late husband and I were married on June 6th many years ago. I was given a second chance with a second husband whom I married on June 23. Yes, June has been good to me.
June 17th we will be married 39 years. It was Father's Day when we got married - I handed out the Father's Day cards to fathers and uncles and one grandfather at my reception.
39 years sound like such a long time, but it sure has gone fast.
my birthday (along with my twin's) is June 29th. I will most likely celebrate by wearing a me-made dress and going swing dancing! That will be 8 weeks after surgery (hysterectomy) so it will be the first dancing in a while... looking forward to it!
Happy Anniversaries and Birthdays to other June Sunshiners!
Well, my dear Piggie, you know I am lazy. In fact, Lazy is my middle name, but in matters of the heart I would not be THAT lazy.

Drugs, Hugs, Cowboys And Crooks Converge On 'BreakBad Mountain'
By: Daniel Villarreal
Walter White and Jesse Pinkman of the drug-filled AMC drama Breaking Bad might be the "the two best meth cooks in America."
But they also might be two damaged, lonely men deeply in need of the kind of love that only a man can give. If you need proof, look no further than the surprisingly touching Breaking Bad and Brokeback Mountain mashup below.
Not only does the mashup seem like an viable art house film—hardly surprising considering that Breaking Bad is a beautifully directed show—but it's also the most touching video "shipping" we've seen since Mad Men's Don and Roger hooked up.

In 1981/2, three De Haviland Dash 7 aircraft were purchased and because of their S.T.O.L capabilities these aircraft were expected to open new airports and take over all services operated by Fokker F27s. One of the most significant events during the early 1980s was the announcement on November 25, 1982 that a management agreement would be signed with Dutch airline KLM. The aim of the agreement was to take advantage of outside assistance to further enhance the performance of the airline.
Under the management assistance program, KLM provided a team of four executives for a period of three years from February 1, 1983. Former KLM Director of Operations and Boeing 747 pilot Leen Van Ryswyk led the group from Holland and took up the position of deputy General manager of Air Niugini.
In 1983, Air Niugini provided an all-jet service to the New Guinea Islands region with the inauguration of Fokker F28 flight to Hoskins in West New Britain – the eleventh domestic port to get jet transport. At the same time, Dash 7s opened up services to another Highlands port, Tari.
The papua new guinea flights rapid expansion went hand in hand with investment in new technology. On may 5, the Chairman of the national airlines Commission pressed the button to officially activate the new computer system and acknowledged Air Niugini's proud position as the leading state-owned corporation in Papua New Guinea.
Finest Achievements
In 1984, Masket Iangalio replaced Joe Tauvasa as General Manager and completed the sale of the two 707s and formulated the lease from Trans Australian Airlines of an Airbus A300 to operate the international services. At this stage of the airlines development, the fleet consisted of five Fokker F28s-1000s, three Dash 7s and the Airbus A300 leased from TAA.
Following the resignation of Masket Iangalio, the position of General manager was advertised worldwide and Dieter Seefeld was appointed. After his previous 18 years marketing experience with Lufthansa, it was no surprise that Mr Seefeld was responsible for one of the most innovative and successful ideas introduced to the company: the new corporate image brought into vogue throughout the organisation. The country's national symbol is still recognised as the flag carriers logo but represented in a style more suitable to the nineties and modernisation of the Air Niugini Airlines operations.
Over the next six years, Air Niugini again expanded it's services by introducing additional Fokker F28s to it's existing domestic fleet of eight F28s and two dash 7s (one was since sold). A new Airbus A310 was purchased to replace the Airbus A300 leased from TAA opening up the opportunity for the further expansion of routes.
Reflecting that continued drive for excellence, Air Niugini unveiled its new passenger reservations, departure control and ticketing systems known as Gabriel. The computer network, used by numerous airlines and travel related organisations worldwide, not only underlined Air Niugini's commitment to technology but provided even more direct control of the management of flights as well as offering information on nearly 10,000 hotels worldwide and up-to-date regulations on over 200 countries as well as requirements, passports, visas and vaccinations.
Pride of the Nation
With the record growth, Air Niugini had not only built up its own reputation, but also increased the volume of international passengers and boosting the image of Papua New Guinea as an exotic tourist destination.
Not only was the airline promoting the country's charm through posters and brochures, but it was also responsible for organising holiday packages of 3-21 days and offering diverse locations all over the country.
Indeed after more than 32 years of operation, Air Niugini remains as committed as ever to its future development and ensuring that national development remains a priority.

ccSalon SF 6/24/09
We hope you can join us at the next ccSalon SF when we will explore the digital intersection of art, history, and culture, and how CC can play a defining role in enriching all three. Our presenters for the evening:
* Francesco Spagnolo, Director of Research and Collections at the Magnes Museum in Berkeley. Francesco will explore the sharing and marketing of cultural heritage through the lenses of the Magnes' "Digital Narratives," a project that seeks an alignment between a narrative approach to history, a collaborative practice in the interpretation of cultural history, and the uses of technology and online social media.
* Dave Toole, CEO and Founder, Outhink Media, will present on how storytelling bridges the cultural and business arenas, outlining the challenges posed by the new social media and the crucial role played by research in information technology.
* Nancy Van House, Professor, UC Berkeley School of Information, will respond to the other presenters by reflecting on the way in which academia is looking at social media and personal/historical digital archiving, exploring the human interactions that populate the online world.
When: Wednesday, June 24, 7-9pm
Location: PariSoMa, 1436 Howard St. (map and directions). Plenty of street parking available. (Please note, the space is located up two steep flights of stairs, and unfortunately does not currently have elevator access.)

CC Ireland discusses Version 3.0, invites comments
On behalf of CC Ireland, we are pleased to announce the draft of CC BY-NC-SA adapted to Irish law (PDF) is now in public discussion. The CC Ireland team, lead by Dr. Darius Whelan and Louise Crowley and hosted at the University College Cork, has been working with Creative Commons International to port the licenses to local copyright legislation. Prior to this work, the Irish team prepared its national licenses at Version 2.0; however, Creative Commons introduced Version 3.0 before CC Ireland launched. Since that time, the Irish team has been developing Version 3.0 licenses and addressing pertinent legal issues.
The public discussion is a key part of Creative Commons' license porting project.

CC Talks With: Nina Paley
Nina Paley's Sita Sings The Blues, released online a little over two months ago, has been generating great press and even greater viewership, closing in on 70,000 downloads at archive.org alone. For the non-inundated, there is great background information on the film at Paley's website.
We recently had the opportunity to talk with Paley about the film – we touched on the film's aesthetics and plot points, but perhaps most interesting to those in the CC community is Paley's decision to utilize our copyleft license, Attribution-ShareAlike, and her thoughts on free licensing and the open source movement in general. Read on to learn more about the licensing trials and tribulations associated with the film's release, how CC has played a role, and Paley's opinions on the Free Culture movement as a whole.3 Comments »

Incentive Bill for 21st Century Skills
Last month, a bipartisan bill introduced in the U.S. Senate recognized the fact that students learning today need to be taught the necessary skills to succeed in this century—an age of new media, the Internet, and ever evolving technologies. The bill, introduced by Senator John D. Rockefeller IV, would "create a new incentive fund that will encourage States to adopt the 21st Century Skills Framework." The fund would provide federal matches to those states that integrate the teaching of 21st century skills such as "creativity, innovation, critical thinking and financial, economic, business and entrepreneurial literacy" into core curricula, according to the Partnership for 21st Century Skills.
eSchool News reports what Shelley Pasnik, "director of the Education Development Center's Center for Children and Technology," has to say:
"The legislation goes beyond technology. It's about implementing a framework for 21st-century learning," she said. "It's more promising this way. If it were just about technology purchases, it would be a missed opportunity."
We couldn't agree more. Giving a student a computer won't teach him or her how to use one, but integrating activities that require the use of one will. More broadly, students will learn the relevant skills to succeed in the current day and future when core curriculum is revamped to include current day and future projects. Revamped curriculum and associated learning materials will also only achieve maximum impact if the resources are open for use and iteration. Opening up the resources makes the federal investment worthwhile, and is helpful for states that are slow in jumping on the bandwagon to catch up. It also gives extra incentive for high quality materials, as competition turns to collaboration between states.
You can read the full text of the proposed bill here.Comments Off on Incentive Bill for 21st Century Skills
2nd CC Community Call (5/27/09) recording now online
We hosted our second community conference call last Wednesday, May 27. Donors were invited to join members of CC's staff and board, including CEO Joi Ito and new Board Chair Esther Wojcicki, to discuss organizational updates, including CC Zero, GreenXchange, the future of the CC Network, and an update on the Wikipedia migration to CC BY-SA. We also took questions and comments from participants. The call was a great success and a valuable opportunity to reach out to and connect with our supporters; we will continue to host community conference calls on a quarterly basis, and anyone giving $250 or more will be invited to take part.
An audio recording of the call is now available online. Thanks to everyone who participated, and as always, we would like to extend a big thank you to all members of our community for your continued support!2 Comments »
PALM Africa Releases "Genocide by Denial" Under CC License
PALM Africa, an African CC-based publishing project, just released their first open-access book from AIDS specialist Peter Mugyenyi titled, Genocide by Denial: How profiteering from HIV/AIDS killed millions. The book is being released under a CC BY-NC-ND license making it free to download and share. PALM is using the release to test the impact open access initiatives have on book sales but, as noted by Eve Gray, there is another reason this license choice is so important (emphasis added):
The timing is impeccable, as the release of the open access version of the book coincides exactly with a breakthrough at the World Health Organisation, which has finally reached agreement on a global strategy and plan of action on public health, innovation and intellectual property […] Among the recommendations in the WHO plan of action is government intervention to ensure voluntary sharing or research, open access publication repositories and open databases and compound libraries of medical research results. Thus Fountain's engagement with open access publishing on a public health topic is right in line with – and ahead of – developing global policy.
PALM and Mugyenyi's license choice thus becomes a practice in the very lessons they are attempting to teach. Beyond this, Gray argues that "Mugyenyi's book needs to be read by the South African bureaucrats who are trying to enforce widespread and rigid commercialization of public research", a task that while difficult, is made easier due to the free sharing encouraged by their license choice.1 Comment »

I was patrolling Elm Ave. on the west side of Monroe in the early 1990s. Cruising near Veterans Park, I was enjoying the early fall evening, finally caught up on paperwork. It was dusk, and darkness was settling in fast.
I caught movement to my left, glanced that way, and saw a young boy in pink footed-pajamas running down the sidewalk. No one else was with him. It took half a millisecond to realize that was, indeed, an odd sight. I slowed the car and pulled into a nearby drive to head off the little guy. Apparently, sensing his little escapade was about to end, he made a hard left and ran into a nearby backyard.
I chuckled to myself and thought, this radio traffic will get the dispatcher's attention and I called out on my portable radio that I was in foot pursuit of a young lad in pink footed-pajamas. The dispatcher, a seasoned veteran of many years, was laughing in her acknowledgement of my radio transmission. She inquired if I required "backup." I responded that I should be able to handle it.
That little guy was elusive, though. He scampered under bushes, hid behind a shed, then made a last-ditch effort to run to the front yard when I finally caught up to him and took hold of his hand. He was very shy and didn't want to talk.
An older woman walking nearby also tried to talk to him as well but we couldn't get him to say a thing. Moments later his frantic mother called dispatch to report him missing.
The mother was relieved to learn her son was located. She had put him to bed a few minutes earlier and apparently he had other ideas. He had traveled about a quarter mile.
His destination was unknown but I suspected either Vince's Drive-In or Independent Dairy was strong a possibility; hot dogs and ice cream are certainly superior choices to early bedtime for a preschooler.
Tom Mohrbach is recently retired from 25 years in law enforcement, most of it with the City of Monroe Police Department. These are his stories.

Keeping the theme from yesterday, today's shot was taken during a celebration for the Buddhist celebration of the Thadingyut Light Festival, hosted by the SEAL club on campus. There was good food, and dancing and music performances, though I don't know exactly how the performances related with the holiday, but I've learned to expect the unexpected when it comes to Buddhism.
FOr this shot I was basically in event photog mode, moving around here and there trying to capture the mood of the dance. The lighting was pretty atrocious, so I set the cam to ISO 1600, aperature priority, set at f/1.8 to isolate the girl from the background and to make up for the light, but judging by the exposure, all that was probably a little more aggressive than was needed.
Processing wise, I changed the composition slightly, as in the original as shot there was far too much space on the right, and not nearly enough on the left. Also, I started experimenting a bit with layer blending. To get rid of a bit of the noise and make it look smoother I duplicated the laer, blurred it slightly, and then set it on 'screen'. This was a technique recommended by the gy over at Chromasia, which I think worked perfectly for this image.

Fight Night Round 4
There are moments in video gaming where a well-known genre is turned on its head. Perhaps it's a graphics breakthrough, or a change in mechanics. And sometimes, in the case of Fight Night Round 3, it was both. EA Chicago took the series' analog control scheme and refined it to the point where it felt organic, and then upped the graphical bar to the point where it almost felt like you were watching a boxing match unfold right before your eyes. The game was quickly proclaimed the greatest boxing game in history (well, maybe second after Mike Tyson's Punch Out!). EA, displaying the kind of forward thinking philosophy that brings us Madden after undercooked Madden, promptly closed EA Chicago. I don't remember the reasons given, only the cry of "FOUL!" from the game's fans, who were worried they'd never see another Fight Night, or at least one on the level of Round 3.
Which brings us to Fight Night Round 4. The reins have been handed to EA Canada (such imaginative names) who, instead of resting on their laurels, built a new engine from the ground up. The results are often quite impressive, but also frequently frustrating.
First, the good: Fight Night Round 4 feels like a true sequel to Round 3. Anyone who enjoyed the last entry will no doubt have fun with this one. So rest easy on that score. Furthermore, there are a bevy of fighters to choose from, from the all time greats to the scrappier guys who still pack a mean punch. Not only that, but you can upload a picture of yourself (or others) to EA's website and import that into the game for creating your own character. And EA Canada has refined the analog stick system even further, really giving the player the chance to play according to his own style. And the fight are much more unpredictable. Your opponent will surprise you with his moves, and if you don't vary your attacks, you'll find yourself getting a beat down real fast.
Another nice addition is EA Canada's decision to throw out Round 3's corner system, where you would manually heal your fighter until the timer ran down. Now you get points based on how you fight, and you use those points to up your stats for the next round. This, combined with the improved gameplay mechanics, really make you think about how you play. You may get more points in a match for throwing more punches, but you'll get less points in the corner if your punches are being blocked or miss.
Not every change works. Round 3's method of recovering from a K.O. was simple and effective, the kind of thing that made you work but didn't ruin the momentum of a fight. Round 4 replaces this with a clunky system that requires you to hoist your fighter back up from the mat. It's distracting and kills all the enthusiasm you may have had for the fight at hand.
But by far the worst part of Round 4 is its career mode. Now, I'm not saying Round 3 was brilliant in this aspect (in fact, the lack of a true career mode in that game was one of the biggest criticisms leveled against it), but at least it felt like you were in control of your own fighter. Round 4 gives you lots of things to check, but really only two things to do: Schedule fights and train. And the training minigames have gotten no better than the ones in Round 3. So it's already tedious, but then EA Canada throws insult to injury on top. The game actually simulates the days in between your training and your fights. You sit there watching the screen as it says "Simulating" and you do absolutely nothing. To me that's like an RPG where you have to watch your party while they sleep instead of just filling up their HP and MP. It's boring, it's time consuming, and it sucks all the fun out of the career mode.
To make things worse, the career mode, called Legacy Mode, pushes you towards several goals that you have to achieve before your fighter grows too old. This doesn't seem like a problem until you discover that the opponents your facing are becoming progressively stronger much more quickly than you are, and you never have enough time to train up to their level if you wish to actually make it to the end before your character retires. So eventually the people you're fighting are much better than you, and your only method of winning is by scoring points for punches landed, but these punches pretty much won't hurt the other fighter, meaning that while your stamina drains, theirs stays pretty stable. I'm sure you can see how this would be a problem. It's just one of the many issues Legacy Mode creates.
If Legacy Mode is wearing you down, you can always jump online and play with friends--or enemies. You'll have to watch out for spammers, though. Too many players make characters with long reaches who will then throw punch after punch before you can close the gap, and it's annoying. Since online fights are ranked, you have little incentive to leave early, even if your fighter is getting creamed. But if you're playing with more sophisticated, fair-minded individuals, the game is really fantastic online. Unlike a lot of fighting games, I never noticed much of a lag, and you really get caught up in the sweep of the fight.
The Graphics:
Fight Night Round 3 was praised for its highly detailed graphics, including a bold "knockout cam," where everything would slow down to feature the punch that brought your opponent (or yourself) down. Spit would go flying as the fighter's face distorted almost beyond recognition. This last feature has been sharply toned down for Round 4, and I think that's a good thing. After the first few "Wow!" moments, the knockout cam in 3 just felt too cartoony, especially for a game striving for photo realism. Round 4 does have a knockout cam, but it's not nearly as drawn out or over the top. The rest of the graphics are fantastic, with tremendous representations of the real fighters, and good quality integration of uploaded faces. The real impressive feature is in how the fighters move. They weave and bob much more realistically than in Round 3, and at times it really feels like you're watching a boxing match on TV.
The Audio:
As great as the graphics were in Round 3, the audio was no slouch either, and Round 4 proudly follows in its aural footsteps. Like before, you get blow by blow commentary from ESPN commentators, and while some of the comments get repetitive, they're not nearly as bad as in Round 3 in that regard. They also drop factoids about the players you're fighting, provided you're fighting against actual boxers. But more than the commentary, the punches land with satisfying thumps, the crowd gets worked up, and everything sounds like a good boxing match really should.
The Conclusion:
Despite EA's decision to close EA Chicago, the Fight Night series is in good hands with EA Canada. Improving on Fight Night Round 3 in many aspects, these new developers prove they have what it takes to fight with the heavyweights. While the game isn't perfect, specifically in the areas of its deeply flawed Legacy Mode, it still manages to provide a boxing experience like no other. Highly Recommended.

30% of project managers have seen a cutback in investment as a result of the current economic climate. 11% of PMs note an increase in scrutiny of project ROI. "Layoffs usually affect non-eng[ineering] positions first,"
In other news there are ways to guarantee project ROI.
From a technology business perspective, SaaS firms seem to be weathering the storm better than large expensive enterprise software firms in this environment from the CEOs that I've been
talking to here in Austin, Texas. Now is a good time to have that monthly income rolling in.
According to THINKstrategies, one of the best is Xactly Corporation which has been named the latest winner of the new Best of SaaS Showplace (BoSS) Awards program. They sell sales performance improvement software.

I am happy to be a sponsor (via MarkTab Inc) and presenter at SQL Saturday 226 South Florida. I have been to this event in the past, and many of my presenter friends will also be at this excellent event. Also, I will giving away some great prizes: five passes (value US$1495) for data mining training to be held on September 10-12, 2013 (winners must be present at the end of the event to win). I also will be giving three separate one-hour presentations, two on data mining, and one for professional development. This blog post has the details, and links to the presentations.
I have three separate presentations for this SQL Saturday.
Abstract One
Applied Enterprise Semantic Mining (intermediate)
Text mining is projected to dominate data mining, and the reasons are evident: we have more text available than numeric data. Microsoft introduced a new technology to SQL Server 2012 called Semantic Search. This session's detailed description and demos give you important information for the enterprise implementation of Tag Index and Document Similarity Index. The demos include a web-based Silverlight application, and content documents from Wikipedia. We'll also look at strategy tips for how to best leverage the new semantic technology with existing Microsoft data mining.
Abstract Two
Data Mining Innovation with SQL Server 2012 (advanced to master)
This presentation includes a complex business analytics solution using elements across the Microsoft Business Intelligence technology. This talk will not have all the steps spelled out. Therefore you should prepare — for example, by looking at the SQL Server 2012 Developer Kit — since attendees will be expected to have working knowledge of SQL Server relational database, SSIS, SSAS, SSRS, SSMS and SSDT. Key elements of this solution will highlight features new to SQL Server 2012. At the end of the demonstration, you will be expected to participate in groups to promote one idea which builds on the demo, and everyone will be voting for their favorite groups. Come ready to create and celebrate your peers.
Abstract Three
Social Marketing 2013 for Microsoft Professionals (beginner to intermediate)
Are you looking to create more stability in your professional future in uncertain economic times? Developing a social media platform is a challenge for highend professionals and consultants. The presenter has established a blog (http://marktab.net), cofounded an online journal, become a paid video presenter, secured a spot at Microsoft TechEd, and earned credit toward his first Microsoft MVP. This presentation introduces the basic elements for 2013 of a successful web strategy. The presenter shares his own statistics and first-hand experiences with website development, WordPress blog hosting, leveraging social media services (including Twitter, Linked in, YouTube and Facebook), and working with Microsoft.
MarkTab Inc. (dba MarkTab Consulting) is providing prizes at the bronze sponsorship level. You are free to enter a drawing for one of five data mining training passes (value US$1495) to be delivered online from September 10-12, 2013. The prizes have no redeemable cash value, but may be transferred to another person. I additionally will be offering a discount coupon code for people coming to the conference (the code is on the MarkTab Inc flyer in your goodie bag). I have trained dozens of people (both in public and private settings) on Microsoft SQL Server technology. The training will focus on SQL Server 2012 and Microsoft Office 2013. Winners will be announced at the end of the day, and you must be present to win.
For registration and more information on the conference, see the conference website: http://sqlsaturday.com/226/eventhome.aspx
Here's a picture of some of the speakers at the event.

Two years ago today Kristine & I tied the knot at Smugglers Cove on the Oregon coast. It was so much fun! Every time I think of that day I can't help but smile. The kind of smiling that hurts your cheeks. On a Wednesday in May we made it official on a little cliff overlooking the Pacific.
Kristine & I were good friends for about three years before we started dating. Every Thursday I used to pick her up from work and we'd grab lunch at Noodles & Co, then head to Costco for samples. It was the best. Whenever I spent time with Kristine I noticed I could always be myself. I didn't have to "walk on egg shells" or act like someone I was not. I could be real with her and she accepted me with no judgement.
Re-post from January 10, 2014. This interview is my favorite post yet! Happy birthday Corey.
Corey Drayton is a Director of Photography based in Portland where he is quietly building his film empire. Corey and I first met in Boulder, CO. He was hanging at the late Trident Coffee Shop and Book Store on Pearl Street, editing a video on his MacBook. Naturally, I introduced myself and asked what he's working on. Over a year later we serendipitously reconnected on a shoot in Portland. Corey and I have been buds ever since.
This last weekend I was lucky enough to sit with a few good friends and attend the Timbers match on a beautiful sunny day in Portland. As I was walking out the door I impulsively grabbed our Fujifilm X-T1 and decided to document my afternoon at Providence Park. The photos that were captured are pretty typical of a Timbers home game. Unfortunately my camera battery was low and I did not shoot a lot. Here's a handful of stills that I liked. Hopefully there will be more photos (and wins) to come.
