New York is often called "the media capital of the world" and is by far the most important center for American mass media, journalism and publishing. New York ranks as the number-one media market in the United States with 7% of US television-viewing households (followed by Los Angeles, Chicago, and Toronto). Seven of the world's top eight global advertising agency networks are headquartered in New York. Some of the city's top media conglomerates include Time Warner, the Thomson Reuters Corporation, the News Corporation, the Hearst Corporation, and Viacom.
As reported in "The Emergence of Advertising in America", by the year 1861 there were over twenty advertising agencies in New York City, and in 1911, the New York City Association of Advertising Agencies was founded, predating the establishment of the American Association of Advertising Agencies by several years. The term "Madison Avenue" is often used metonymically for advertising, and Madison Avenue became identified with the advertising industry after the explosive growth in this area during the 1920s.
Over the decades many agencies have left Madison Avenue. A majority of them have moved further downtown and others have moved west. Today, only a few agencies are still located in the historic business cluster on Madison Avenue, including Young & Rubicam, Strawberry Frog, TBWA Worldwide and Doyle Dane Bernbach. However, the term is still used to describe the agency business as a whole and large, New York–based agencies in particular.
Agency Department Areas
Creative Department
The Creative Process forms the most crucial part of the advertising process and the people who create the actual ads form the core of an advertising agency. Creative's include Copywriters, Art Directors and Production Artists.
Account Services
Agencies usually appoint an account executive to liaise with the clients. Creativity and marketing acumen are the needed area of the client service people. They work closely with the specialists in each field. Account Managers are people-oriented and enjoy splitting their time between the client and the agency.
Media Services
The media services department are the people who have contacts with the suppliers of various creative media and plans, coordinates and purchases media space to run advertising that the agency has created.
The production department is responsible for contracting external vendors (i.e. directors and production companies, photographers, or direct mailers). Producers are involved in every aspect of a project, from the initial creative briefing through execution and delivery. Production includes all the people who help get a job routed internally, proofread, checked, printed, duplicated, and distributed.
Other Departments and Personnel
In small agencies, employees may do both creative and account service work. Larger agencies attract people who specialize in one or the other, and indeed include a number of people in specialized positions: production work, Internet advertising, planning, or research, for example.
The traffic department regulates the flow of work in the agency. It is typically headed by a traffic manager (or system administrator). Traffic increases an agency's efficiency and profitability through the reduction of false job starts, inappropriate job initiation, incomplete information sharing, over- and under-cost estimation and the need for media extensions. In small agencies without a dedicated traffic manager, one employee may be responsible for managing workflow, gathering cost estimates and answering the phone, for example. Large agencies may have a traffic department of five or more employees.
Employment Outlook
A wide range of educational backgrounds is suitable for entry into advertising, marketing, promotions, public relations, and sales manager jobs, but many employers prefer college graduates with experience in related occupations.
Computer skills are necessary for record keeping and data management, and the ability to work in an Internet environment is becoming increasingly vital as more marketing, product promotion, and advertising is done through the Internet. Also, the ability to communicate in a foreign language may open up employment opportunities in New York City and many other rapidly growing areas around the country, especially cities with large Spanish-speaking populations.
Education & Training
A variety of schools in New York City and the surrounding areas offer diploma, certificate, associate, bachelor, and advanced degrees in advertising related careers. Visit the art, design, and media communications sections within NewYorkColleges.com for more information on a specific career-targeted degree program.

Wii U Network IDs can be transfered to a new console by Nintendo
Nintendo of America has tired to clear up a bit of confusion surrounding the transfer of online IDs for Wii U consoles owners. According to NOA, while Wii U users are unable to transfer Network IDs between consoles, or even sign-in on a different console, the use of Network IDs on "other devices" will be possible "in the future." Should your Wii U break or sprout legs and go on a city destroying rampage – no worries: just wrangle the unruly system, toss it in a box, and send it off to Nintendo – not the retailer you purchased it from.
"Nintendo of America's repair process includes the transferring of the Nintendo Network ID to a new Wii U console if a replacement system is needed," an NOA rep told Kotaku.

Under Arkansas law students enrolled in a home school must present a copy of a notarized notice of intent form to the Arkansas State Police when they take the written portion of the Arkansas driver's test.
Public and private school students must show a school report card with at least a C average. Rather than showing a report card, home school students show a copy of a notarized notice of intent form.
Home schoolers who have a notice of intent on file with the local superintendent, but failed to get their notice of intent notarized or make a copy of it can simply complete another intent form, get it notarized, and use it to obtain a driver's license. Since a current notice is already on file with the superintendent, there is no need to turn in a second notice to the superintendent. Simply keep the second form for your own records.
In rare cases, the State Police have attempted to require more of home school students. They have asked for report cards or asked that the local superintendent sign the notice of intent to home school. These are not required.

Guide to Using Dav Pilkey Books in the Classroom (PDF)
In this graphic novel, George Beard and Harold Hutchins present the sensational saga of two silly caveboys named Ook and Gluk. Ook and Gluk have a pretty awesome life growing up together in Caveland, Ohio, in 500,001 BC, even though they're always getting in trouble with their nasty leader, Big Chief Goppernopper. But Ook and Gluk's idyllic life takes a turn for the terrible when an evil corporation from the future invades their quiet, prehistoric town.
When Ook, Gluk, and their little dinosaur pal, Lily, are pulled through a time portal to the year 2222 AD, they discover that the world of the future is even worse than the devastated one they came from. Fortunately, they find a friend in Master Wong, a martial arts instructor who trains them in the ways of kung fu, so that they may one day return home and make things right again.
And, like the Captain Underpants books, The Adventures of Ook and Gluk, Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future features the world's cheesiest animation technology, "Flip-O-Rama," in every chapter.
The Adventures of Ook and Gluk, Kung-Fu Cavemen from the Future is George and Harold's second publication in the series of graphic novels called Tree House Comix. Their first work was The Adventures of Super Diaper Baby.
An Excerpt from a 2010 Publishers Weekly Q&A with Dav Pilkey on the inspiration for Ook and Gluk
"I was inspired when my editor, Bonnie Verburg, told me about something she had witnessed while visiting her son's kindergarten class several years ago. She was impressed by a little boy who made up a very tall tale on the spot during show-and-tell. This boy had brought a little toy ambulance to show his classmates, and somewhere during his presentation, it must have occurred to him that his toy wasn't very impressive. So he tried to spice things up a bit by telling the class that his toy was actually a prehistoric ambulance that cavemen used to drive when they took sick dinosaurs to the hospital.
"His story got wilder and crazier. I think the ambulance was unearthed by the boy's dog, who was a famous archeologist, during an excavation in his backyard. The funny thing was that none of the other children were sure if he was telling the truth or not. After all, they were only five years old.
"I liked the little boy's tall tale so much, I drew a sketch of two cavemen paramedics and named them Ook and Gluk. I carried that sketch around with me for many years as I developed the plot and the characters. I still have it, actually."

DETROIT – And now there is just one.
On Tuesday, the Wings signed restricted free agent center Joakim Andersson to a two-year deal worth $1.465 million.
That leaves forward Gustav Nyquist as Detroit's last restricted free agent that needs to be signed before training camp begins in September.
On July 16, defenseman Brendan Smith inked a two-year deal worth $2.525 million. He was the only restricted free agent to file for arbitration.
Andersson, whose deal will have an annual salary-cap hit of $732,000, will make $700,000 this season and $732,000 in the final year of the deal.
The one thing the Wings love about Andersson is his size and grit.
"I like smart and I like big guys," Wings coach Mike Babcock said of Andersson last season.
Andersson, who's 6-foot-2, 206 pounds, spent most of the season in Detroit after Darren Helm was sidelined most of the year with a back injury.
"We had so many kids that really improved and made us better," Babcock said last season. "That's allowed us to play better. We have more depth."
Andersson, 24, centered the third line most of last regular season, registering three goals and five assists in 38 games.
He had a goal and four assists in 14 playoff games.
The signing does increase the Wings' roster size to 24 and that will go up one once Nyquist gets his deal done. That's two over the league limit and puts them close to $3 million over the salary cap.
Teams can also go 10 percent over the salary cap during the offseason, but that's something Detroit doesn't want to do.
The Wings do have a bit of flexibility with this year's cap if they choose to apply Daniel Alfredsson's potential $2 million in bonuses to next season since that cap number is expected to rise.
Detroit isn't completely sure if Helm will be ready when training camp arrives.
Helm was limited to playing just one game last season due to a slightly torn disc in his back. He took part in the Wings' development camp last week to test his health and it seemed to go well.
If Helm is unable to start the season the Wings could place him on long-term injured reserve and thus create a roster spot there. It would also allow his $1.75 in salary to not count against the salary cap.
The list of possible players to be trimmed from the roster via trade includes Jordin Tootoo, Mikael Samuelsson and Patrick Eaves.
The Wings have had discussions with Nashville about sending Tootoo, who has two years left on a deal at $1.9 million a season, back to the Predators.
Eaves' game is comparable to that of Miller.
Cory Emmerton appears safe on the roster if Helm is unable to regain his pre-injury form to center the Wings' third line. That would more than likely secure Andersson to centering the third line and allow Emmerton to center the fourth line, like he did most of last season.
There's also a chance Detroit could welcome Daniel Cleary back, but only if a deal can be made to shed salary.
"We're comfortable where we're at right now," Wings general manager Ken Holland said earlier this offseason. "But if we do anything else we'd have to move somebody first.
"We'd like to do a move or two, I'm not sure we can," Holland added. "If we can't make a move I'm OK with our team, we'll go to camp. If we can make a move and free up some money then certainly re-signing Dan Cleary is a possibility."
If Detroit can't trade players off its roster it could still trim them when the regular buyout period in August begins, but two thirds of those salaries would count toward the cap.
After the Wings were eliminated from the playoff, Andersson and a number of his teammates helped lead the Grand Rapids Griffins win the Calder Cup.
"These are great experiences," Wings general manager Ken Holland said in the offseason. "When you're a young player nothing can be better for your development than going on a run in the AHL playoffs. It's a roller-coaster ride, physically and emotionally. This is an experience we can't replicate in development camp or training camp."
Babcock credits Andersson's and the other rookie's quick development to coach Jeff Blashill, who was a Wings assistant for one season (2011-12).
"Blash is doing a heck of a job there," Babcock said last season. "We haven't had a team be a playoff team in Grand Rapids in a long time (since 2009). It's important they win down there. We've got some guys that are really knocking on the door for jobs."
The Wings selected Andersson in the third round, 88th overall, of the 2007 NHL Entry Draft.

Each day, millions of comics fans can't help but see a little bit of themselves or someone they know in Leroy and Loretta Lockhorn. The award-winning Lockhorns panel gently spoofs the state of marital bliss, poking fun at the foibles of both partners to the amusement of a worldwide audience in more than 500 newspapers. Their snappy repartee and witty banter has made them a perennial favorite.
The bickering couple's daily bouts began in 1968 with the comic collaboration of prolific cartoonist Bill Hoest and his wife, Bunny. Hoest also produced Laugh Parade and Howard Huge for Parade magazine, and the newspaper comics Agatha Crumm and What A Guy!
Since the death of her husband in 1988, Bunny Hoest has been making sure the laughter lives on with the help of her assistant, artist John Reiner.
Loretta's loudmouthed, leering husband, Leroy, is brash, opinionated and abrasive, but you can't help but love him nonetheless. He watches women and sports while watching out for his suspicious spouse. Fortunately for her, most times he is parked in front of the television, sound asleep.
She is Leroy's stabilizing influence, except when she cooks or gets behind the wheel of their long-suffering car. Then she's every bit as dangerous as Leroy's uncontrollable mouth. When she's not keeping her husband out of trouble, she's off to "shop till she drops." But no matter what problems come their way, Loretta and Leroy realize they're together "till death do us part." And they wouldn't have it any other way!

Leaks are coming from China, that Nokia might have yet another Lumia device up its sleeves. In the picture above, you are seeing what's claimed to be "Lumia 830".
You might have thought 820 is the successor to 710, as the new mid-range device in the family.
But apparently that is misconception. According to Chinese sources, although slightly shorter in the naming number, 820 seems to be a little bit higher positioned than 830. So, the succession of Lumia devices is now like this:
Lumia 610 -> Lumia 510
Lumia 710 -> Lumia 830
820 and 830 fighting for the same niche, just like 800 and 900 used to. This sounds awkward.
And... so far there's very little known about the innard of this Lumia 830. It will come in five colors (as shown in the picture), but no spec sheet for now.
By the way. Anyone feeling this phone looking a bit HTC-ish?

Invention extension? Functional substitution? Find out what these concepts mean and how they apply to the screen-printing industry.
In the past I really looked forward to SGIA. It was the biggest show of the year—the place where all the latest technology was unveiled. It also hosted the best printing-awards program in the industry. There was always plenty of buzz and it was generally four days of nonstop go-go-go.
Now the show is still big, but not quite as big as in days gone by. I think the economy and changes in the industry, as well as changes with trade shows in general, have taken a toll. People don't like to travel. It's expensive and a big hassle anymore. Manufacturers, especially the equipment companies, face a huge expense to get the production machines onto the exhibit floor for just a few days of exposure.
The biggest change has been in the complexion of the show. Ten years ago there was a smattering of inkjet companies. Companies with a long history in screen printing dominated the industry. That's all changed now. Huge companies like HP, EFI, Agfa, and the like now take up more of the floor space, and we see $1-million-plus inkjet printers in the high end of the market. It's a different game now—and that got me to thinking.
Any business, technology, political ideology, society, or culture goes through four distinct phases. They are: invention, invention extension, functional substitution, and devention. These ideas were proposed by Geoffrey Moore in his book, Crossing the Chasm: Marketing and Selling High-Tech Products to Mainstream Customers. This model is used mostly with product lifecycle, but it applies equality to all the other areas above. As we move from one phase to the next, there are distinct challenges and characteristics. Let's take a few minutes to outline what these phases mean before we apply them to what we're seeing in our industry.
This marks the introduction of the technology or idea. Invention is true innovation—something new and unseen. It is usually met with ridicule and mockery. The rare exception is when it's such a brilliant idea that everyone gets it right away. True ideas are greeted as crackpot notions that will never fly because they are almost always disruptive to the existing status quo. Think of the telephone, automobile, airplane, and so on.

Offshore Wind – A Brief History
Happy 80th birthday Maritime Reporter & Engineering News! Eighty years is a significant publishing and business accomplishment!Birthdays always cause a look back. An 80-year review starts in 1939, the close of one very challenging decade, the start of events still reverberating today. History's most important history is contained in the last 80 years.Energy dominated every one of those decades. Consider energy use, say, starting after World War II, from 1950 to 1975. There was power for everything, from seemingly endless sources of oil, gas and coal, and nuclear power was standing by.Next, recall energy from 1975 to 2000. Not so happy.
Analysis: Strait of Hormuz and the Risk of Escalation
The Strait of Hormuz, the narrow shipping lane between Iran and Oman named after the fabulously wealthy ancient kingdom of Ormus, has fascinated oil traders since the Iranian revolution in 1979. Iran has periodically threatened to close the strait to enemy shipping, while the United States and its allies have pledged to keep it open and maintain freedom of navigation, by force if necessary.The strait has become a symbolic flashpoint in the region-wide confrontation and indirect conflict between Iran on one side and the United States and Saudi Arabia on the other.
Maritime, Measles & Quarantine
Measles is a highly contagious infectious disease. It is so contagious that 90% of non-immune persons will become infected if an infected person is in the immediate vacinity. It is an airborne disease spread through coughs, sneezes, and contact with saliva or nasal secretions. The virus can live for up to two hours in infected airspace or on infected surfaces. Individuals are infectious from four days before symptoms appear until four days after the patient is symptom-free. Symptoms include fever, cough, runny nose, inflamed eyes, and a red, flat rash. Complications may include diarrhea, middle ear infection, and pneumonia.
Offshore wind: One-stop Power Conversion
With the United States and China about to start their respective offshore wind build-ups, grid operators wondering about the efficiency of their turbines or the emissions-areas compliance of their wind-service vessels will be warmed to know there's someone they can talk to. Yaskawa's The Switch — a Japanese industrial giant's European environmental tech business — is offering one-stop wind-energy shopping. As with shipping, you can order permanent magnet generators, drives and converters for your wind turbines. Take heart. The lingo is the same. Yaskawa's The Switch is well-placed to hybridize vessels or help convert power from wind turbines. In the U.S.
French, Italian Shipbuilders Forge Naval Alliance
France and Italy forged a military shipbuilding alliance on Friday, as state-controlled Naval Group and Fincantieri signed off on a 50-50 joint venture that will bid for Franco-Italian warship projects and sell to the world market.The alliance reflects the two countries' desire to fend off competition in naval shipbuilding from the likes of China, the United States and Russia.It is targeting orders worth up to 5 billion euros ($5.63 billion) over the next decade. Naval Group said the joint venture aims to build 10-15 warships in that period, with synergies estimated at 10-15%.

New book explores how an art evolved into an industry.
Happy 100th birthday, screenprinting!
Although that's not technically true, it's close enough. Not too many manufacturing processes last 100 years in this fast-paced and ever-evolving world. Ours remains endemic in human culture, used in the manufacturing of consumer products from t-shirts to touchscreens and everything in-between, so there's no danger of it disappearing from use any time soon, regardless of what the digital prophets and their salespeople tell everyone. Ever wonder where and how it all started? There's a lot more than a few paragraphs on Wikipedia to the story, but there has never been a book on the subject. Until now.
A new book, History of Screen Printing – How an Art Evolved Into an Industry, tells the tale.
Written by Swiss author Guido Lengwiler and available this fall in English from ST Books, it has what is considered to be the first photograph of a screen printing operation, taken in 1913. From this shop, Brant & Garner Studio on Market St. in San Francisco, and a few other pioneers of the new "silk screen process" clustered in California, grew the industries we are all part of today. Concentrating on the period between the late 1800s up to the end of WW II, the book is full of previously unpublished information, stories, and lots of amazing photos. Although this is an historical text, properly cross-referenced with sources, it reads like an adventure novel at times, and has the look of an art book.
The DNA of those first silk-screen shops spread internationally in the 1920s, and found new markets and new uses through the 1930s. It spawned the printed electronics industry and played a significant role in WWII – on all sides. The book traces how it happened, with first-hand accounts uncovered through meticulous research, tracking down and interviewing family members of the pioneers of the process throughout the world.
Connecting thousands of bits of information into a well written narrative is a challenge, but Lengwiler – a teacher of screenprinting – has made sense of it all by painting a clear picture of what came before, and how screenprinting arrived just as the American advertising industry began. One drove the other.

5 out of 5
Instant natural looking tan! from Streetsboro, OH Verified Purchaser
Finally! Results in ONE night, no orangey color, no stained clothes! I used this product 3 nights in a row and instantly had a great looking tan! AND it really made my skin feel great after washing it off the next day... like it added oil-free moisture! I tend to have problematic skin (redness, dry patches but also breakouts on my back) and so sunless tanners usually add to the problems but not this one. Review posted 12/24/2012.

This is my all time favorite self tanner by MALGRIFFIN from BRANTFORD, ON
This is the first self tanner I have ever tried. I've been using it for about 3 years now and I've tried quite a few others including st tropez, fake bake and others and this is by far my favorite and everything else I have tried was just a huge let down compared to this. For me this is the longest lasting one, basically fool proof to apply it's so easy and does not streak. This is the only one I've found that will make me dark enough, and I just love it. Nothing has beat this for me yet. Review posted 7/24/2012.
5 out of 5
Very believable color - without streaks or funny smell! from Glastonbury, CT Verified Purchaser
This is the best self tanner I ever used. The color looks totally natural - brown, not the orange look I've had from virtually every other tanner. The brown color guide helps a lot, so there is not streaking whatsoever. My best advice would be to keep washing your hands frequently as you apply the tanner. The first time I used it, I didn't wash my hands until the end and it took me literally ten minutes to get all the rubbed in color off my hands. I also needed to use a pumice. But the good news is my palms had no hint of color on them in the morning, so the pumice idea is actually great. Review posted 6/25/2012.
5 out of 5
Great smelling spray tan from san Francisco, CA Verified Purchaser
Smells great, like cherry almond and goes on smooth, no streaks, excellent self tanning spray and I've been using them a long time. I used to use St Tropez but now I'm a fan of this brand. Review posted 4/14/2012.
5 out of 5
Very good, realistic color from a self-tanner from Ipswich, MA Verified Purchaser
The best quality of this self-tanner is that it contains a color guide that actually stains your skin (some of it washes off, but part of the color guide remains and is long lasting) and so the color guard tint adds to the DHA self-tanner color...this makes the resulting 'tan' more realistic than a DHA self-tan alone would be. Normally I avoid self-tanners with color guides as they tend to be messy, to stain clothing and look dirty, but this product's color guide actually has a purpose in that it improves the final tan color. That usually isn't the case, especially with most drugstore self-tanners. Also, this product has very little of that unattractive self-tanner scent. Lastly, because the concentration of DHA is quite high, you use less (one or two coats) to get a dark color, but you avoid being orange because of the residual stain of the color guide. The end result is a reddish brown tan color. This is pricey, but will last a long time and a worthwhile investment if you tend to turn orange with self-tanners. Good product! Review posted 11/7/2007.
5 out of 5/Superb color from Jackson, NJ Verified Purchaser/This product definitely gets it right on three major counts - great color, looks absolutely natural without the orange-y, rusty cast just about all other self tanners give me, and I've tried a number of them from the highest to lowest end. Amazingly, it has absolutely zero self tanner smell, from the time you put it on through the entire 'baking' process. I can't imagine how they managed this as there is no heavy masking scent either, just a very light hint of almond. Next, it does not streak or leave 'hard' edges as some tanners can when you go too dark and see the line of demarcation between the color and your actual skin tone. The price is great too. So why three stars?9.11/2012

We've already ranked all 14 running back groups in the SEC. Now it's time to check out who we think will be the 10 best running backs in the league this fall when it comes to production and team value:
1. Todd Gurley, Jr., Georgia: Nagging injuries have slowed Gurley, but he still has more than 2,300 career rushing yards and almost 30 touchdowns. The Heisman Trophy candidate is built to pound but can break big runs in an instant. He has averaged 6.1 yards per carry, has 13 100-yard rushing games in his career and is also extremely active in the passing game, where he has 558 career receiving yards. Gurley wants to run tougher and harder this year, which is just plain scary.
2. T.J. Yeldon, Jr., Alabama: After registering 1,235 yards last year, Yeldon became the first back in school history to rush for at least 1,000 yards in his first two seasons. Yeldon has had his fumbling issues, but when he's in control he's extremely tough to stop with the strength he has to grind out yards. Add on his speed and elusiveness, and Yeldon has no problem making defenders look silly.
3. Derrick Henry, So., Alabama: OK, so all the excitement around him stems from an incredible high school career and a superb bowl performance. But we saw so much power and finesse in all 161 yards of total offense he had in the Allstate Sugar Bowl. Henry is the total package and an every-down back who can push his way through the line of scrimmage like a tank but is also deadly in space. Don't be shocked if he eats up a big chunk of Yeldon's carries.
4. Mike Davis, Jr., South Carolina: You could easily put him higher because of pure, brute strength and his speed and elusiveness. After rushing for 1,183 yards and 11 touchdowns last year, Davis' stock in this league has skyrocketed. Last season, Davis rushed for 100 or more yards seven times.
5. Alex Collins, So., Arkansas: The prize of Bret Bielema's first recruiting class, Collins became the first freshman in SEC history to begin his career with three straight 100-yard rushing games and the first true freshman in the NCAA to record three straight 100-yard rushing games to start his career since Oklahoma's Adrian Peterson had nine in a row in 2004. Collins fell off after a great start but still finished with 1,026 rushing yards and four touchdowns.
6. Tra Carson, RJr., Texas A&M: Carson wasn't asked to do a lot last year (329 yards and seven touchdowns on 62 carries), but that will change with Ben Malena gone. Carson will no longer be viewed as just a short-yardage guy. He has a ton of power but also can explode out of the backfield and make plays in the passing game. He's also deceptively elusive in open space.
7. Jonathan Williams, Jr., Arkansas: Like Collins, he started the 2013 season off fast with three straight 100-plus-yard games. He finished the year with 900 yards and four touchdowns but could be even better in 2014. Having Collins play better shouldn't hurt, either, because of how well they complement each other. While Collins is capable of big plays with his speed, Williams is more of a power runner.
8. Leonard Fournette, Fr., LSU: No, he hasn't touched the ball at the college level or gone through practice with the Tigers. But he was the nation's top-rated prospect in the 2014 class and ran for almost 1,800 yards as a senior in high school. He rushed for more than 7,600 yards in his high school career and was ready to run at the college level before his senior prom. He's built like a truck and will run like one with the Tigers.
9. Cameron Artis-Payne, Sr., Auburn: The Tigers won't have a problem spreading the wealth around at running back this fall, but Artis-Payne is built to carry the load. Corey Grant is used as more of a speed back in this offense, while Artis-Payne is more of an every-down back for the Tigers, and his downhill style should thrive with more touches.
10. Kelvin Taylor, So., Florida: Taylor has NFL blood coursing through his veins, and people in Gainesville hope to see more of his father, Fred Taylor, out of him this fall. He progressed as last season went on and finished with 508 yards and four touchdowns. Taylor is faster and more agile now and has the chance to be a true game-changer in a more wide-open offensive scheme.

Wyoming Lottery Bill Advances
CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) — The state House of Representatives has approved a bill that would allow Wyoming to offer a lottery.
The proposal passed on a 31-28 vote Monday. It now moves to the Senate for consideration.
The proposal allows the state to offer a state lottery or join a multi-state lottery, such as the Powerball. Proceeds would go to local cities, towns and counties.
Proponents say Wyoming residents are spending a lot of money buying lottery tickets in other states that have lotteries. They say that is money that could stay in Wyoming if the state offered a lottery.
Opponents say lotteries are a form of gambling and tax that would most hurt the poorest citizens who play the game.

Martin Alund of Argentina wore down Lleyton Hewitt of Australia 4-6, 6-3, 6-1 on Wednesday in the U.S. Men's Clay Court Championships before rain washed out the rest of the day's schedule.
Play was suspended at 2:47 p.m. local time at River Oaks Country Club after continuing rain left the clay courts too wet to continue. Top-seeded Nicolas Almagro of Spain and No. 2 Tommy Haas of Germany had their matches rescheduled for Thursday.
Hewitt, the former top-ranked player, broke Alund in the seventh game of the first set and closed out the set with an overhead winner.
Alund and Hewitt traded breaks in the second and third games of the second set before Alund took control. Hewitt was broken again in the sixth game and Alund escaped two break points before capturing the second set in the ninth game. Hewitt escaped three match points in the final game but then double-faulted to end the match.
Hewitt made the tiring trip from Uzbekistan after helping Australia to a 3-1 victory in Davis Cup play.
"It's tough to get back from there to play the next week," Hewitt said. "I just didn't feel close to 100 percent. It was a stomach thing. It's frustrating. If I could have gotten through this match I could have felt better as the week goes on. It wasn't to be."

There won't be an LCC-exclusive category in the CCC, as it would exclude CC members who aren't in LCC.

Several area two-sport athletes take the court after finishing their football seasons.
When he came home from school, he played football.
On the weekends, he played football.
He probably played football in his sleep.
There wasn�t much else Donyae Hopkins did growing up in Baltimore.
�It�s always been football,� said North Lenoir�s junior running back, who started playing tackle football � with a group four years his senior � when he was 7-years old. �It�s my sport. It�s what I grew up watching.
�That�s all I liked to play; every day, outside playing football.�
When Hopkins moved to Lenoir County at 7, he got exposure to basketball through classmates who played the game.
When he got to high school, he joined the class of dozens of multi-sport athletes in Lenoir County by being on both the football and basketball teams. In the United States, there are an estimated 7.2 million high school athletes, according to CDC.gov.
As Hawks basketball players were gearing up for the hardwood, Hopkins was still on the gridiron this year. With all area football seasons completed, two-sport athletes have thoroughly transitioned from football to basketball.
Hopkins, North Lenoir�s MVP running back, joined the Hawks on the basketball court this season after a quick breather in between sports. As an RB, his body took a lot of �punishment� in the hard hits accompanying football season.
�I need about a week to rest my body,� the 5-foot-9Hopkins said. �But after a week, I can go to basketball and be back at it. It�s easy to stay in shape.�
He said there are no issues with making a transition because the athletic ability that comes from playing multiple sports in high school. However, the conditioning is different for each.
Take it from North Lenoir�s Anthony Loftin. He went from coaching football to coaching basketball in a matter of days.
The transition
Loftin is the head coach of the boys� basketball team and the head coach for the Hawks� junior varsity football squad.
He said it takes a while for transitioning players to get their bodies adjusted from one sport to the next.
�Sometimes they�ll get down on themselves,� Loftin said of some two-sport athletes. �You can�t go up there and dunk a basketball like you know you can, because when you first come out there, you won�t have the legs to do it.�
Football players obviously have different conditioning, training and body movements from basketball players. For guys who do both, agility and speed take precedence over bulk and strength during basketball season.
But at least multi-sport athletes stay conditioned in between seasons.
�Getting their body to change from strong � to flexible in that basketball season is a big challenge,� said Loftin, who made the gym available for his basketball players while he was coaching football. �I try to tell them it takes time. You can put a lot of pressure on yourself in trying to do so much early instead of just sitting back and letting it come to you.
�Once you let it come to you, you�ll find you�ll probably be a better ball player.�
Although area coaches are flexible with football players� basketball tryouts and allow a short break in between seasons, some athletes are ready to jump right in.
South Lenoir running back Dion Jones didn�t take his allowed time off before he started playing basketball this year.
�I didn�t want to take a week off,� the 18-year-old Jones said. �I just got to it so I won�t be left out.�
He said when he returned to the gym, he had to catch up on the plays. Jones only focuses on one sport at a time, especially since the two markedly differ.
�Football is different from basketball because it�s more contact,� said Jones, who racked up 1,004 rushing yards on the field this season. �In basketball, it�s all about doing everything right and making the right plays.�
However, skills, drills and attitudes are borrowed from the field to the court.
Jones, for instance, brings the intensity he used during the football season to Blue Devils basketball.
Loftin said he uses footwork drills in coaching both sports because the man-to-man coverage is similar.
Of the area schools that have football and basketball programs, there is at least one student on both rosters. Transitioning between sports seasons becomes second nature to these kids.
Making it successful
Some multi-sport athletes identify stronger with a single sport. While they must shift from one to the next, there�s a fundamentalunderstanding to which one they�re best at.
Hopkins knows his sport is football, even though he plays basketball and even runs track.
But for Kinston�s Qwarri Ham, he said he plays both football and basketball with an equal skill level.
�I like them both evenly,� said the senior guard who�s been playing since he was 6. �I think about that sport when I�m playing that sport.�
Depending on how long football�s post-season last, the transition period can begin to narrow. Vikings football advanced to the second round of NCHSAA 2AA state playoffs before falling to Currituck County last month.
The day before Kinston played the Knights in football, the Vikings� basketball season opened.
Ham, a receiver, was occupied as Kinston basketball started its run to defend its 2A statetitle, but now he�s back in full-time, hardwood action.
Brent Williams, Lenoir County Public Schools executive director of operations, said coaches and athletic directors have a strong role in facilitating successful and safe changeovers for student-athletes.
�We encourage as much participation in athletics as we can,� said Williams, who oversees the county�s athletics in his role. �Our coaches do a good job of working with them on (the transition) and working with their parents. We as a school system have tried over the last few years to increase what we�re doing overall in terms of safety.�
Williams said LCS have partnered with the local emergency services to have emergency personnel on site at athletic events, while implementing the Gfeller-Waller Concussion Awareness Act. All coaches, administrators, student-athletes and parents of student-athletes must be trained on concussions under the law.
According to Momsteam.com, football players are the most at-risk high school athletes for concussions. They have the highest concussion rate with 6.4-7.6 concussions per 10,000 �athletic exposures� (64-76.8 percent). The concussion rate for boys� basketball is between 16 and 21.2 percent.
Coaches may have the largest role in a sound transition for the athletes, and the camaraderie built through playing multiple sports is unmatched.
But the players also know doubling up on sports can increase scholarship chances.
�There are a lot of benefits,� Hopkins said, �and college is one. You can get maybe a scholarship for both sports if you�re good enough.�
The Hawks� multi-sport athlete has an entire senior year left when he finishes this year�s cycle of seasons. While football is his thing, he won�t ignore his appetite to play basketball, too.
�I like both sports,� Hopkins said. �I like both, and that�s why I play both.�

text: It is extremely difficult for a general-purpose tool to know the significance of a race condition or any other coding error (it would need to understand the semantics of operations involved). But if you have no data races you've eliminated one source of potential problems.

But the reason why the race condition in this example can cause security problem is that it can expose sensitive data to user. What if the race condition only affects some internal states? In this case, it's not related to security, but an internal error. I wonder how tools can identify if the race condition is security related or not. 2010/5/20 Enno Shioji <eshioji at gmail.com> A very silly (but it happens!

Then users without clearance will start to see secret data occasionally. *: Making a class a singleton doesn't make things faster in most of the cases..

I'm starting to feel a bit like a little fish swimming with a bunch of big sharks!
It's a bummer. I had myself living there in my mind's eye. I knew where all my furniture would go, I could see the cats sun bathing by the window. Then *poof* gone. Oh well, I'm quite happy where I am so that's okay with me :)
I thought I'd show you a couple of pages of my little sketchbook just for fun.
I noticed this was a project I wanted to do in March '09! So many projects, so little time.
This is an idea for a rolled pencil case with a patch of my art on it:
Plus just some fun faces:
Have a great night!

Tascha I'm sorry you didn't get it. What is up with that?? I thought when there was an asking price, the idea was to try and get it talked down, not $20,000 above!
thanks for sharing your sketches!
I agree with the 'so many projects, so little time' remark, lol!

I'm using Ubuntu Maverick and this is the setup:
Our router connects us to the company's VPN through which we can access some internal websites. I have to connect also to a customer's VPN in order to use remote desktop and their websites daily.
This customer has a web interface to connect to its VPN, it launches a Java App which signs us in and lets us use the services on their network.
When I do this, I loose access to my company's VPN services (websites) in all browsers. This doesn't happen in the rest of the (Windows) boxes, and I'm the only one using GNU/Linux on the office.
Right now, I log out of the customer's VPN to access the company's services, but I'm sure there's some solution so that I can use both VPNs together.
Edit: The customer's VPN is used via a Juniper Networks login (a Java Client), and I get automatically connected into the company's VPN through the router.

Framework for the ESA Alphasat Programme
The primary objective of ESA under the Alphasat Programme is to facilitate an early first flight and in-orbit validation of the Alphabus platform, currently under development with industry.
This objective will be achieved in conjunction with a commercial operator who will utilise the protoflight Alphabus platform in the implementation of his operational payload.
To this end both parties will bring substantial funding to realise this mission. In addition to the operational payload, ESA will also provision three Technology Demonstration Payloads (TDPs) for embarkation on Alphasat. These will constitute less than 20% of the total payload embarked.
Following an extensive selection process, Inmarsat Global Ltd has been selected as the Preferred Operator with whom to embark on this programme. The contract was finalised early in November 2007.
Inmarsat 'Geomobile' mission
Following the successful implementation of the Inmarsat IV satellite series, Inmarsat is now able to deliver the new BGAN (Broadband Global Area Network) family of services, which provide a wide range of high data rate applications to a new line of user terminals for aeronautical, land and maritime markets.
With the Alphasat mission, Inmarsat will extend the capabilities of this Geo-mobile infrastructure, both in terms of performance and capacity, resulting in an enhancement of the current services and additional capacity for new services.
The Alphasat mission definition is based around two main service types:
- BGAN directional (as currently provided by Inmarsat IV)
- BGAN Omni-directional (including handheld services)
Alphasat will be capable of accessing the additional two 7 MHz sections of L-band spectrum allocated at WRC-03, which were not available to the Inmarsat IV satellites when originally specified.
Implementation of this Geo-mobile application necessitates an adaptation of the nominal Alphabus platform design to allow a 90-degree rotation of the satellite flight orientation (for better accommodation of the feed/reflector configuration) and the accommodation of the large deployable reflector.
Both these adaptations will be offered as options in the future Alphabus portfolio.
Technology Demonstration Payloads
Following several technology studies and preliminary accommodation activities, three TDPs have been selected for flight on Alphasat. These are:
- an advanced laser communication terminal to demonstrate GEO to LEO communication links at 1064 nm
- a Q-V band communications experiment to assess the feasibility of these bands for future commercial applications
- an advanced star tracker with active pixel detector
Early flight of these elements will provide invaluable data to support their future applications.
Benefits of the Alphabus & Alphasat programmes
- The Alphabus Programme is fast consolidating the future face of High Power European Telecommunications Satellites
- It is successfully combining the skills of the two major European Telecom Satellite providers in a common goal
- The significant interest of several major International Commercial Operators in participation to the Alphasat programme has significantly enhanced the credibility of this new industrial product line
- Realisation of the Alphasat mission will be a significant step forward in the European (and world) Satellite capabilities
- Alphasat will bring with it the opportunity for new services and applications, plus associated terrestrial infrastructure

Media Queries certainly aren't sufficient for large scale applications, but redirecting to an entirely alternative site isn't sufficient either.
In a Rails environment, I'd be inclined to create a mobile specific layout and use a strain of respond_to to serve mobile specific views where necessary. It's a much more DRY approach and keeps everything a lot more maintainable.
I fail to see why anyone would break the development process by creating and serving versions of applications specifically for iOS. Apart from visual language, which isn't really necessary in a web app (being OS agnostic by their nature) the principals of good mobile design apply across iOS, Android, WebOS, etc. Are we likely to start creating OS X or Ubuntu specific versions of a web application?
If people stop mimicking the Apple aesthetic and apply their own sensibilities, rooted in fundamentally good mobile design principals, we'll end up with much more robust and applicable mobile web apps.

HAVELOCK � Frank Bottorff, a former base commanding officer at Cherry Point air station, has been hired as Havelock�s new city manager.
HAVELOCK � Frank Bottorff, a former base commanding officer at Cherry Point air station, has been hired as Havelock�s new city manager.
Mayor Jimmy Sanders made the announcement Tuesday morning.
�The board has worked hard on this for a number of months, and I think they�ve done a good job,� Sanders said. �I�m pleased. We had some very good candidates, and Frank prevailed.�
Bottorff, a retired colonel with 28 years in the Marine Corps, was chosen from a group of 51 applicants. Bottorff served as commanding officer at Cherry Point from 2006 to 2009.
�I�m extremely excited and honored to be a part of the team in Havelock,� Bottorff said. �We�ve been part of the community for a number of years now, and I certainly feel honored that the Board of Commissioners had enough faith in me to hire me for this position, and I�m really looking forward to it and can�t wait to get to work.�
Commissioners are expected to vote to officially hire Bottorff at their meeting on Monday.
�I think it was a very good selection,� Sanders said of Bottorff. �He�s not only familiar with Havelock, but probably more importantly, he�s intimately familiar with the military and with the needs of the military and how the military functions.�
Sanders said that Bottorff�s knowledge in this area would be greatly beneficial to a city tied so closely with a military base.
�I certainly think that I bring a perspective that potentially a lot of other candidates did not bring,� Bottorff said. �I do think that the experience I had with installation management within the Marine Corps really forms nicely into the city management position in Havelock, but the experience I had with the military and understanding the importance of what Cherry Point and FRC East brings to the community, I think I�m in a good position to really focus our efforts to try to help sustain that in our community and then take the next steps that go beyond that and really help Havelock with economic development.�
Sanders said Bottorff would help the city in the nation�s capital.
�He just has far and away more contacts, friendships, relationships, throughout the military in D.C. and all those kinds of things with his background as a former base commander,� he said. �He understands what�s real and what�s not, and a lot of times when you are dealing with issues, that�s important.�
Bottorff said he has been working since his retirement in a consulting firm helping the Marine Corps improve installations.
�My hands have been in it. The company has treated me really well for the last year and a half,� he said. �This transition is not about the money, but having a job and really being able to provide for my family and doing it in a place that is our home is the best of all worlds.�
Bottorff has been working with Allies for Cherry Point�s Tomorrow and is a voting member of the North Carolina Military Advisory Council.
�From that perspective, he brings a wealth of experience to the table,� Sanders said. �He understands managing people and programs.�
Bottorff�s annual salary will be $111,808. He will be replacing Jim Freeman, who retired earlier this year, but stayed on as interim manager until a new manager was hired. Bottorff will begin work on Nov. 12 and will work with Freeman during a transitional period.
�I look forward to the transition with Jim Freeman,� Bottorff said. �He�s done so much for this community and for the city of Havelock. My hat�s off to Jim on a tremendous career and I just look forward to a very smooth and transparent transition.�
Sanders said the transitional period would last at least through Dec. 2, saying there was no set date for Freeman�s last day.
According to a release from the city, Bottorff has years of experience with budgeting and fiscal planning, project management and strategic planning. He has a degree in business administration from LaSalle University and a Masters in Strategic Studies from the U.S. Army War College.
Bottorff is married and lives in Carolina Pines. He has a son that is a sophomore in engineering at N.C. State University and a second son who is a junior at Havelock High School.
