Depending on whom you talk to or ask, you will get different views and opinions, some of them stronger than others on if magnetic tape is dead or alive as a data storage medium. However an aspect of tape that is alive are the discussions by those for, against or that simply see it as one of many data storage mediums and technologies whose role is changing.
Here is a link to an a ongoing discussion over in one of the Linked In group forums (Backup & Recovery Professionals) titled About Tape and disk drives. Rest assured, there is plenty of fud and hype on both sides of the tape is dead (or alive) arguments, not very different from the disk is dead vs. SSD or cloud arguments. After all, not everything is the same in data centers, clouds and information factories.
Fwiw, I removed tape from my environment about 8 years ago, or I should say directly as some of my cloud providers may in fact be using tape in various ways that I do not see, nor do I care one way or the other as long as my data is safe, secure, protected and SLAs are meet. Likewise, I consult and advice for organizations where tape still exists yet its role is changing, same with those using disk and cloud.
I am not ready to adopt the singular view that tape is dead yet as I know too many environments that are still using it, however agree that its role is changing, thus I am not part of the tape cheerleading camp.
On the other hand, I am a fan of using disk based data protection along with cloud in new and creative (including for my use) as part of modernizing data protection. Although I see disk as having a very bright and important future beyond what it is being used for now, at least today, I am not ready to join the chants of tape is dead either.
Does that mean I can't decide or don't want to pick a side? NO
It means that I do not have to nor should anyone have to choose a side, instead look at your options, what are you trying to do, how can you leverage different things, techniques and tools to maximize your return on innovation. If that means that tape is, being phased out of your organization good for you. If that means there is a new or different role for tape in your organization co-existing with disk, then good for you.
If somebody tells you that tape sucks and that you are dumb and stupid for using it without giving any informed basis for those comments then call them dumb and stupid requesting they come back when then can learn more about your environment, needs, and requirements ready to have an informed discussion on how to move forward.
Likewise, if you can make an informed value proposition on why and how to migrate to new ways of modernizing data protection without having to stoop to the tape is dead argument, or cite some research or whatever, good for you and start telling others about it.
Otoh, if you need to use fud and hype on why tape is dead, why it sucks or is bad, at least come up with some new and relevant facts, third-party research, arguments or value propositions.
You can read more about tape and its changing role at tapeisalive.com or Tapesummit.com.
Ok, nuff said.

Coalition of nonprofits wants to gubernatorial candidates to see Washington County's needs
Coalition of nonprofits wants to gubernatorial candidates to see Washington County's needs
WESTERLY — The Basic Needs Network, a group of about 30 nonprofit social-service agencies and churches, will be inviting Rhode Island's gubernatorial candidates for a meet-and-greet.
Network members agreed Tuesday to invite all candidates to a meeting, followed by tours of some of the Washington County agencies.
"These folks have got to understand what's happening down here," said Russ Partridge, who proposed the idea to the rest of the network.
Partridge, the executive director of the WARM Center and the network's chairman, said statewide problems such as food insecurity, homelessness, and poverty are exacerbated in Washington County by a lack of jobs that pay living wages, a dearth of affordable housing and scant mass transit. And politicians, he said, don't necessarily see that problems are different down here.
"We always feel like we're on the other end of the earth," Partridge said, adding that rural poverty has its own challenges.
A lack of public transportation is one of those challenges. Although the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority does provide a Flex Service vehicle in the area, it has a limited and rigid schedule, Partridge said. And so without a car, it is difficult, if not impossible, for a resident of Washington County to access the resources that are available.
"If I don't have a car to get to the food bank, the fact that it's there isn't helpful," he said.
A car is also usually needed to get to work, school, job training or a doctor's office, Partridge noted, adding that many of the state's job-training programs are located in Providence.
Invitations will be mailed to gubernatorial candidates, including Providence Mayor Angel Taveras, General Treasurer Gina Raimondo, attorney Clay Pell, entrepreneur Ken Block, Cranston Mayor Allan Fung and others. The deadline to file the paperwork necessary to appear on the November ballot is June 25.
Partridge said he will give the candidates a range of dates to choose from, so they don't all come to the same meeting. After the meeting, candidates will be given the option of touring some of the Washington County agencies.
The Basic Needs Network meets the second Tuesday of every month to discuss issues of common concern, share information and resources and avoid duplication.

It seems to me that there is one universal truth in this world: Everyone loves, has loved or is nostalgic for Lego. From the incredible success of The Lego Movie, to the product enjoying decades of success, not to mention the successful video games in a variety of genres, Lego may now be more relevant than at any point since it launched in 1949–a fact supported by Brand Finance naming Lego the world's most powerful brand in 2015.
In 2016, you don't have a hope or a prayer of being the most powerful anything without an incredible online marketing campaign behind you. Lego has certainly accomplished this thanks to a groundbreaking online marketing campaign which hits its high notes on:
I am going to look at each of these different aspects of Lego's marketing in an effort to show you how to build your own brand similarly. My only regret will be not having covered everything: Contact me for a novel if that's what you want.
Let's start with Lego's YouTube marketing, as it is just ridiculously well done. Lego is a global brand without a single doubt, and it fully acknowledges this in its video marketing efforts. Would you like proof? Watch these two videos:
As you probably figured out, neither of those videos is in English. Lego creates videos and completely dubs them over in a wide variety of languages. The millions of people who speak these languages develop a deeper bond than any subtitled video could possibly create.
Lego does this for a wide variety of content, as well. Take a look at this screenshot of its uploaded videos, and you'll get an idea of the many different series it features and updates regularly:
Lego has fully committed to creating online video for its fans, and it is paying off in the kind of brand loyalty that leads one to become the most powerful brand on earth.
This is not its only success in the online video world, and it is not its greatest. The most popular videos it currently creates and uploads directly feature its creations. It does this in two ways. The first is in its Lego Creator video series, where the people who actually design the Lego packs talk about what they've made:
It couldn't be simpler or more direct in how it markets a product, but it works to the tune of hundreds of thousands of views every time Lego uploads one. This goes to show that if you get experts talking about your products, with a great setting and lots of energy, you can create product related videos on YouTube.
The second way they do this is with these completely silly Lego News videos:
This is episode No. 7, and it has received more than 600,000 views in one month. All it does is present Lego's products in a fun way. It is, of course, a long commercial for its new race cars, but it is damn entertaining.
The flaw in Lego's online video
There is one terrible flaw in Lego's online video that I would highly recommend you not replicate: It does not do a proper video outro that links to other videos or a push to subscribe. The credits roll, and you're left to choose whichever thing you'll want to watch wherever you want, and you can completely forget to subscribe.
Make sure to create your own video outro for each and every video, which gives viewers at least one more video of yours to click on, with a push to subscribe to maximize your video marketing.
Lego has been doing something that I've been observing about the top Twitter accounts in the world lately. From @Starbucks to @Samsung Mobile and even @LEGO_Group, they all use audience segmentation to break their potential followers up into smaller accounts, which all feed up to the main account.
For example, there is the main @LEGO_Group account. While that account is at a respectable, but far from industry leading, 362,000 followers, that account isn't all Lego has up its sleeve. It segmented their audience to include dedicated accounts, with dedicated content, for:
And on and on as Lego looks to create accounts that appeal to specific followers in its audience, give them the exact content they want and push them up toward the main account.
Lego also really gets Twitter content, as is way too evident by this tweet:
When you save the day…Again! #LEGOBatmanMovie pic.twitter.com/6NIz149ecI
— LEGO Batman (@LEGOBatmanMovie) June 6, 2016
I'd retweet that in a heartbeat.
Lego is also quite keen on having content prepared in advance for trending topics it knows about before they happen. This includes both traditional and non-traditional holidays and events, as well as using the hashtags associated with them:
Happy Free Comic Book Day, Batman! @DCComics #LEGOSuperHeroes #BuildSomethingSuper #FCBD #FCBD2016 #DCFCBD pic.twitter.com/7rN3Q9f7d7

These tweets and their consistent retweet numbers don't happen by accident. Lego plans to be viral in these moments in advance and creates unique pieces of content that perfectly suit the moment. Your Twitter marketing needs to do more of this in an effort to get more followers, spread your message in a viral way and reach new audiences.
This is where it all really happens. Lego's user-generated content campaign is the single most impressive thing it does, by far. It's called Lego Ideas, and every brand should find a way to make this part of their online marketing strategy.
It works quite simply:
This may be the best example of user-generated content in the history of online marketing. It covers every aspect of Lego's business, as fans bring it new ideas and do all of the promotion themselves.
To look at Twitter as an example, support for these models comes from nearly everywhere:

Yes, that last one was a Lego Ideas set for the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. Who would have thought an idea like that up? A science nerd looking to appeal to science nerds, of course.
That's exactly what this entire user-generated campaign does. It puts Lego right in the middle of an enormous cross-section of interests and makes it a niche product in nearly every niche you can think of.
And some fans get serious about promoting their LEGO Ideas, all at no cost whatsoever to Lego itself. Here's what the creators of the LEGO LHC made on YouTube:
It's a direct parody of an iPad commercial. You just got science pranked.
When it comes time to choose the new sets, Lego produces a YouTube video that shows who won. Here's the most recent one:
Are we sure that the people at Lego get paid to have this much fun?
What this all means for Lego
From top to bottom, Lego looks to be having great fun with its entire online marketing plan, and it hardly has to do any work. All of these videos, people on forums promoting their own creation and videos with links have done so, so much to create tons of backlinks for Lego. This will cement its brand as one of the top in the world both on and offline.
If you ever get half an idea for a user-generated content plan, be sure to think about how all of this can come as a result. Free videos, Twitter content and backlinks, not to mention product ideas! What else could you want?

Zynga announced the launch of Ice Age: Arctic Blast on mobile. Developed in collaboration with Eat Sleep Play, the match-three game stars characters from all five films in the Ice Age franchise, including Ice Age: Collision Course, which hits theaters July 22.
In each level of Ice Age: Arctic Blast, players are challenged to complete a different objective before running out of moves. For instance, one stage may ask players to earn a required number of points, while another may ask them to clear snow tiles by making matches on top of them, and so on.
At launch, Ice Age: Arctic Blast features 100 levels and 16 characters from the Ice Age films. Players can activate some characters' special abilities, such as Scrat's Super-Smash or Crash and Eddie's Snowball Assault, to help them complete levels.
In a statement, Jim Stern, executive producer at Zynga, commented:
Starring timeless characters like Sid, Manny, Diego, Scrat and more, Ice Age: Arctic Blast is a new twist on the match-three genre, challenging players to progress through the iconic Ice Age universe. For the first time ever, we are integrating all of the Ice Age movies into a single game, giving movie fans the ability to interact with the entire herd of Ice Age characters through deeply immersive gameplay and stunning visuals. We can't wait for our players to travel back in time and discover it for themselves.
Ice Age: Arctic Blast is available to download for free on the iTunes App Store and Google Play.

Twitter might not be the biggest or fastest-growing social network, but that doesn't diminish its value as a space for breaking news and social TV event engagement. Data from Neustar Marketshare indicates that advertising on Twitter might be driving value for domestic movie ticket sales, as well.
Twitter commissioned Neustar to quantify the impact of advertising on domestic film releases, with a primary focus on comedy and action movies. According to the study, Twitter contributed to 13 percent of all action movie ticket sales and nearly 10 percent of comedy movie sales. Overall, Twitter helped sell one out of every 10 movie tickets sold in the U.S. and Canada.
What's more, when TV campaigns are supported by Twitter ads, movie studios can experience up to a 16 percent increase in return on investment. For comedies specifically, adding Twitter to the movie marketing mix resulted in up to a 24 percent increase in ROI and an 11 percent increase in ROI for action movies, according to the Neustar data.
When compared with other advertising methods including print, radio, paid search, online display ads, out-of-home and even TV, Twitter's return on advertising proved 3.5 times more efficient at driving sales domestically.

Gamers can open five basic supply crates and one premium supply crate for free each day. Additional crates can be purchased with free and premium currency.

Google released Motion Stills, an iOS application that allows users to transform Live Photos into GIFs and movies. The app includes video stabilization technology, which works to reduce the shakiness in Live Photos.
The Motion Stills app allows users to create sharable GIFs and looping videos from individual Live Photos, as well as to create longer videos by swiping to combine multiple Live Photos into movies. When creating videos, users can drag and drop clips to change their playback order before finalizing their projects. Users can upload finished videos directly to YouTube, or they can save them to their devices for sharing on other platforms.
A blog post reads:
This app is a way for us to experiment and iterate quickly on the technology needed for short video creation. Based on the feedback we receive, we hope to integrate this feature into existing products like Google Photos.
The Motion Stills app is available to download for free on the iTunes App Store.

Disney released the latest content update for Disney Crossy Road on mobile, which adds content from Alice Through the Looking Glass to the game.
This update includes a new world, Time's Castle, based on the film Alice Through the Looking Glass. The world features 18 characters, including Alice, the Mad Hatter and the March Hare. Of these characters, 13 can be earned from the game's prize machine, while five secret characters can be earned in other ways. Gamers will need to unlock one of these characters through the prize machine (or through in-app purchase) before they can play in the new world.
While playing in Time's Castle, users can collect hourglasses to earn bonus points. Collecting hourglasses will also charge an hourglass meter at the side of the screen. When the meter is filled, the world around the character will enter slow motion for a short time. During this time, users can collect additional hourglasses to earn extra bonus points.
In addition to this new world, this update includes a new daily missions system, which allows players to earn exclusive characters over time, including one from Alice Through the Looking Glass.
Daily missions challenge players to complete specific tasks within the game, such as, "Hop on six lilypads today." Each time players complete six daily missions, they'll receive an exclusive new character. In addition to completing a main daily mission, players can complete two secondary missions each day to receive gift boxes.
Overall, the game's latest update includes 25 new characters to unlock, with eight of them being secret.
Disney Crossy Road is available to download for free on the iTunes App Store, Google Play, the Windows Store and Amazon Appstore.

Disney released a new content update for Disney Crossy Road on mobile, bringing The Jungle Book to the game. In addition, Disney announced that the game has surpassed 10 million downloads since its release April 7.
Created in partnership with Hipster Whale, Disney Crossy Road challenges players to survive as long as possible by tapping to advance across lanes while avoiding obstacles like cars, animals and more. The game features worlds based on The Lion King, Disney Pixar's Inside Out and more.
With this update, players can unlock the Jungle Book world instantly by purchasing one of its characters via in-app purchase. Players can also unlock the world for free by winning one of its characters in the game's prize machine.
While playing in the Jungle Book world, players must avoid forest fires, which are triggered by lightning strikes. Once lightning strikes a square and causes a fire, the fire will spread to nearby squares, sometimes blocking areas of the path.
The Jungle Book update includes 15 characters such as Mowgli, Kaa, Baloo and Shere Khan, among others. The set includes four secret characters, which are not available to purchase. In total, the game's latest update includes 25 new characters, but 14 of these are secret.
Disney Crossy Road is available to download for free on the iTunes App Store, Google Play, Windows Store and Amazon Appstore.

That's why I have a soft spot for "stealth" games like "Metal Gear Solid," "Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell" and 2012's brilliant "Dishonored." There's so-mething more mentally stimulating about finding ways to outwit your enemies without filling them with lead.

The U.S. Department of Transportation is looking into how delays at ports and other loading and unloading facilities may be affecting driver compliance with hours-of-service rules designed to increase safety.
Union Pacific's failure to maintain its track and equipment resulted in broken and sheared lag bolts, which caused the June 3 derailment of a train near Mosier, Ore., according to a preliminary report from the Federal Railroad Administration.
Meanwhile, the pound slid the most on record to its weakest since 1985, while the yen rallied on demand for haven assets, following Britain's vote to leave the European Union.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
The French ocean carrier reported it will pay 1.3 Singapore dollars (U.S. $0.94) for the Neptune Orient Lines' shares it does not already own, control or has agreed to acquire.
South Korea's second largest shipping line seems to be turning a corner in its debt restructuring of late, and has now set its sights on joining the leading vessel sharing agreement by capacity on the major east-west trades.
Recently purchased APL parent Neptune Orient Lines couldn't cut costs fast enough to compete in an increasingly commoditized market, chief executive Ng Yat Chung said in a surprisingly candid interview with Singapore's Straits Times.

IT services provider Softwerx wanted to offer Cloud services to clients. The company worked with Rise, a firm that specializes in infrastructure-as-a-service, to develop its Cloud services. With the help of Rise, Softwerx reduces client's IT costs and tailors services to their specific needs.
Responding to demand for Cloud services
Softwerx is an IT services and software development company that specialises in solving the business challenges of clients. The company is also a leading Microsoft partner. With many clients facing financial challenges, Softwerx wanted to help them work more efficiently and cost effectively. The company saw Cloud services as a way to do this. It also recognised that the increasing demand for Cloud services could help its business grow. Softwerx looked for a partner to help it tailor Cloud services to the needs of clients. Jonathan Holmes, Technology Consultant at Softwerx, says: "Initially, we looked at a number of different Cloud providers. We had a detailed list of criteria that included cost, flexibility and continuity of service."
A Cloud partnership
Softwerx found the Cloud partner it was looking for in Rise, an infrastructure as a service company with a strong partner programme. For more than a decade, Rise has been a leader in the market for hosted IT and web services. Rise's DataCenter on Demand platform offered Softwerx the opportunity to provide Cloud services, such as disaster recovery, online backup and a number of hosted applications. In short, Softwerx got everything it needed to provide Cloud services to its Clients. Adriaan Bekker, operations director at Softwerx, says: "We chose to work with Rise because the company met our criteria and offered a professional approach. Rise made an effort to understand our business and is willing to accommodate our customers' unique requirements."
Gains expert training and support
Softwerx found it easy to migrate customers IT infrastructure to the Cloud with Rise's DataCenter on Demand. Holmes says: "DataCenter on Demand is a good technical match for us. It was easy to move to our customers to the Cloud because DataCenter on Demand is based on Microsoft technology." However, Softwerx gained more than just a strong Cloud platform. "In addition, staff from Rise gave us the sales and technical training we needed to champion this new offering," he says. "That is why Rise is the ideal partner for us and our customers."
Helps customers reduce IT costs
Softwerx's Cloud services help it solve the business problems of its customers. For many organisations, the main challenge is to do more with less. Bekker sees the Cloud offering a number of advantages for clients. He says: "The Cloud helps customers reduce costs, work more flexibly, reduce capital expenditure and significantly improve disaster recovery." One of the first customers to benefit from Softwerx's Cloud services is George Hay Chartered Accountants. The firm has already reduced its IT costs by 30 per cent.
Tailors Cloud services to customers' specific needs
Softwerx is committed to meeting the specific needs of its customers, so it needed a Cloud platform that could support this ethos. The control panel in DataCenter on Demand makes it easy for Softwerx to deploy new services and to adjust services to the changing priorities of its clients. Consequently, it doesn't take long for Softwerx to configure and manage IT infrastructure for clients. In addition, Rise's pay-as-you-go model reduces the upfront costs of IT hardware for Softwerx and its clients. This means Softwerx can offer competitive pricing and structured billing, which appeals to clients across the board.

Based in Gloucester UK, Rise provides Cloud Computing and hosted IT services to a variety of customers, who rely on its web-hosting services and DataCenter on Demand™ platform.

Extracting business value from Internet of Things (IoT) data doesn't happen overnight. There are several requirements that must be satisfied, including IoT device enablement, data analysis, real-time detection of complex events and automated orchestration of actions.

The Internet of Things will challenge the status quo of how IT and development organizations operate. Or will it?

Very tasty! I used one quart of water and a 12-ounce jar of jalapeño peppers. Black peppercorns were also added to the mix. My carrots were the little baby carrots. They were really thin and small so there was no need to boil them. I just packed them into jars and ladled the boiling mixture over them and capped and sealed. This makes a great crunchy snack to take the place of a high fat crunch from potato chips.
For my taste, the carrots were overcooked after five minutes, and they were even softer after sitting covered while the solution cooled -- and continued to cook them. Otherwise, the flavor is good; the oregano could be doubled or tripled without harm though.
Muchas Gracias!!! This is the hot carrot recipe I was hoping for. Hot carrots are so commonly served at authentic Mexican restaurants and taco shops where I grew up in San Diego, CA. Now that we live in Montana we really miss the great little things in life. Serve as an appetizer with chips and salsa before a Mexican meal. Best with a little crunch. We added 1 TBL of oil. Thank you for sharing. Muy delicioso!!
I read some of the reviews and like many I prefer a somewhat crunchy hot carrot like the ones to be had in San Diego (grew up there). I halved the boiling time, but with the cooling down period, it's still much too long. I'm thinking that really they don't need to be boiled at all, but rather bring the water to a boil, then remove from heat, put in carrots immediately along with all other ingredients and go from there. I also added some chopped cilantro, cumin seeds, and fresh sliced jalapeno peppers for even more heat. The flavor is great, just next time, not boiling the carrots at all.
Extremely easy to prepare and the flavor is fantastic. I'm in San Diego and this is so close to the authentic Mexican restaurant flavor you'll love it! From a non-cook's point of view, it doesn't get any easier. The flavor is best after chilling for 2 days, so make ahead...you won't be sorry.
This was a good recipe overall. I think 5 minutes is too long to boil the carrots, it takes all of the crunch out. Also, I think I will cut back on the oil next time and add more jalepenos for more kick. Thanks for posting, I have been craving these since I came back from San Diego!
A lovely, flavorful treat quite easily made. We'll be making this one again. I like a little crunch in this type of pickle, so undercooked the carrots some.
Well, if I hadn't expected Mexican style carrots, I would have liked these, but I was expecting a true Mexican style carrot. The abundance of cider vinegar gave these more of a pickled carrot flavor, maybe this is TexMex vs. Mexican.
Great nibbles! I never had these before, so not sure what they should be like. But we knew we would love them. How ever, I did add more salt and oregano, about doubled both and it really improved it for us. With jalapeno I was more careful and just 4 oz was right for us. Also, I cut the carrots in long sticks, so they are easier to crab and nibble on.
I changed a few things but I liked your process. I agree with some of the other reviewers to not use apple cider vinegar. White vinegar works best. I used 3 pounds of carrots but by the time they got trimmed and peeled they were the perfect amount. Our market sells 3 lbs. of carrots as a "buy one get one free" sale every once in awhile. Only boil the carrota 2-3 minutes. I threw the onions in for the last couple of seconds. Slice on the diagonal for the authentic mexican look. I used the mild jalapenos as my own personal preference. On another note, I am finding that if I dish up a cup of these as a snack it cuts my cravings for other things. Plus There is talk that drinking vinegar daily is a health plus. Give them a try.

Cerberus pays $7.4 billion for 80.1 percent of Chrysler
DETROIT -- Chrysler's 80,000 workers may pay the price for German-based parent DaimlerChrysler's decision Monday to turn over the keys of its U.S. car company to private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management for $7.4 billion.
Talks begin soon between the United Auto Workers and Detroit's car makers on a national contract and analysts expect Cerberus, headed by former Treasury Secretary John Snow, to push for radical changes at its money-losing Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge operations.
The announcement sent shudders through much of Chrysler's work force, despite assurances from Chrysler CEO Tom LaSorda that there are no major plans under discussion with Cerberus to cut jobs beyond a previously announced restructuring plan.
That wasn't good enough for Canadian Auto Workers President Buzz Hargrove. He said he had "enormous concerns," noting that many private equity groups have a long-standing history of "job cuts as opposed to job creation."
The sale of 80.1 percent of Chrysler to Cerberus Capital Management LP unwinds the messy $36 billion 1998 marriage that was set up to create a global automotive powerhouse.
Instead, the maker of the upscale Mercedes Benz brand of cars found itself, like competitors Ford and General Motors, battered by rising pension and retiree health costs in the United States as Toyota and other Asian manufacturers won the hearts of U.S. consumers with what many view as more reliable, fuel-efficient models.
Germany-based DaimlerChrysler AG said it would keep a 19.1 percent stake in the renamed Chrysler Holdings LLC. The private company will be run by Cerberus, which said it would keep the present management in place.
Car buyers have little to fear from the transaction, according to one industry analyst.
"From a consumer perspective, in the practical sense, there's no real downside. I think consumers are pretty well protected," said Jeremy Anwyl, president of the Edmunds.com automotive Web site.

The New Haven Documentary Film Festival Concludes Success Run. Announces Winners of Student Competition.
June 14th. NHdocs: the Third New Haven Documentary Film Festival concluded its 11-day event on June 12th with Alex Gibney screening Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief (2015), followed by a panel on "The Documentary Art of Investigation and Revelation." Just under 2,000 people attended the different screenings and panels. [actual count around 1860 not counting reception and party]. This year the festival sponsored a Student Competition for high school students and college undergraduates: 11 films from 9 different college and high schools were screened. Three of the films were recognized with prizes and special citations by judges Karyl Evans (jury head), Anthony Sudol and Gilles Carter:
Grand Prize for Speed Fade by Clark Burnett , a Yale University freshman, was a judge favorite. Clark found a great story with a clear beginning, middle and end about real people doing what they are passionate about and told it in an entertaining and concise way. He found interesting people to interview, let the film breath so there was humor in the story, and shot the interviews in a creative way. His editing gave great pace to the film and there was a good use of music. A joy to watch.
Runner-up of for Gisela's Legacy by Jamie McNeill, a senior at Avon High School, Jamie told the horrifying and riveting story of a Holocaust survivor living in Connecticut.

Honorable Mention:Searching for Chekhov by Lara Panah-Izadi, Yale University, Lara gave us great insight and access in her film to actors preparing to perform a Chekhov play. The filmmaker edited together an interesting story about the process, shooting a wide variety of interesting footage from the entire process and because of her close relationships with her interview subjects was able to produce compelling interviews.

Djoliba's CAF Confederation Cup hopes are in severe doubt ahead of Sunday's second leg of their second-qualifying-round tie with Wadi Degla.
The Malian team reached the final of the 2012 competition only to lose 4-3 on aggregate to Congolese outfit Leopards.
But Djoliba's hopes of replicating that run appear slim following a 2-0 defeat at Wadi Degla in the first leg, a strike from midfielder Mostafa Talaat and a late Abdoulaye Traore own goal doing the damage for the Egyptain tournament debutants and leaving Karounga Keita's men on the brink of elimination.
SuperSport United are also in need of a turnaround in their home leg, but face a difficult task against 2006 winners and two-time finalists Etoile du Sahel.
Tunisian side Sahel lead 1-0 from the first leg thanks to a goal from defender Alaya Brigui, which put them in pole position to make another run towards the latter stages of the competition.
Sahel had the benefit of fortune in the first leg as South African club SuperSport saw a late equaliser from Mame Niang chalked off, much to the annoyance of coach Cavin Johnson.
But Johnson believes his side are still very much in the tie and is hopeful that SuperSport can go far in the tournament.
"We will come back and put up a big fight in the second leg," Johnson said.
"It will give me the greatest of pleasure if we get to the group stages. It would make the club proud. We can do well in this competition.
"South Africans need to take this tournament seriously and that's what we are doing right now."
Petro Luanda and Bizertin will have home advantage, but must be careful not to concede a possibly damaging away goal in their respective second-leg meetings with Ismaily and Warri Wolves after 0-0 first-leg draws.
An injury-time penalty from Menard Mupera gave Zimbabwean side How Mine a 2-1 first-leg success over Bayelsa United of Nigeria, whose away goal in that meeting could yet prove crucial.
Kigali and Constantine will both look to protect advantages and progress to the play-off round after 1-0 wins over Difaa El Jadida and ASEC Mimosas.
However, ZESCO United face a similar to predicament to Djoliba and will need to showcase a significant improvement versus Medeama, who cruised to a 2-0 triumph in the first leg as their impressive Confederation Cup bow rolls on.
