Liberty VP makes business magazine's "20 under 40" list
Chris Johnson, Liberty University's Vice President for Enrollment Management, was recently named to Blue Ridge Business Journal's "20 under 40" list of rising business leaders and stars in Southwest and Central Virginia.
The biweekly magazine selected its list from readers' nominations. Johnson, 38, was chosen for his contributions to Liberty University's growth.
"In 2001, the late Jerry Falwell Sr. charged Johnson with the task of dramatically increasing the university's size, then home to 4,500. ... In 2008, Johnson turned his attention toward online enrollment: In one year it ballooned from 27,000 to 38,000 students, and is expected to hit 50,000 next year."
Johnson holds a B.S. in Business Management and an M.B.A. from Liberty University. He has served as Director of Recruitment for Liberty University, Executive Vice President for Jerry Falwell Ministries and Executive Director of Resident Recruitment for Liberty University. In November 2008 he was promoted to Vice President of Enrollment Management, managing Liberty University Online enrollment, Resident Enrollment and Financial Aid divisions.

The melting of sea ice during summer in the Arctic is part a natural cycle, but the rate at which the sea ice is currently melting is unprecedented, as illustrated in today's BBC News.
"Norwegian researchers report that the sea ice is becoming significantly thinner and more vulnerable.
Last month, the annual thaw of the region's floating ice reached the lowest level since satellite monitoring began, more than 30 years ago.
It is thought the scale of the decline may even affect Europe's weather."
Why should we care? Because this finding means global warming is occurring and accelerating at an even greater rate than predicted. White ice reflects more sunlight than open water or other dark surfaces, so less ice means more solar energy is being absorbed by Earth, thereby compounding the effects of a warming planet. One expert states that this rate of absorption is roughly the same as adding another 20 years of manmade carbon dioxide pollution.
So if you didn't like this summer's heat waves, wildfires, and droughts; if you care about the health and welfare of the poor and vulnerable – those who Christ calls us to care and advocate for; or if you simply want to be a responsible steward of God's good creation; then pay attention and step up to the plate!
Times are a-changin' – even faster than we thought.
Alycia Ashburn is the Creation Care Campaign Director at Sojourners.

Still, I think Adobe sorta asked for reactions like this: 2 years ago, when Steve Jobs publicly announced the switch to Intel, one of the Adobe top brass (I don´t recall his name) was invited on stage, and his final words were "What took you so long?"[{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Well, that's where you are wrong...it was only one year and a couple of months ago that Steve Jobs got on stage and said that magic word INTEL. It was June 6, 2005...[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=79553\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Interesting replies...For what it is worth - I've been on the code writing end - I do know and understand what it takes - BUT - Adobe has had several years to do fix Photoshop - Apple worked on the Intel switch for about 5 years before they changed processor - and - Adobe was informed about this along the line - I don't have the exact date - but it WAS well before Apple went Intel.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=80041\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
To write a Universal application would not take all teh resources Adobe has - and if they had worked on it concurrently with Lightroom - they would have had a universal version some time ago - instead they are unhappy with Apple's forey into what they see as THEIR market with Aperture - and are "punishing" Apple for it - and while doing so is pissing off a legion of Photoshop users...
According to mr Shewe - who seem to be very, very informed - obviously has an inside source somewhere - Adobe has had at least since sometime in 2005 to deal with this - and it is now something like what - at least a year and more later - and the word is MAY 2007 - oh sure - that's only TWO years to do something about it - they are getting right up there with Microsoft..
I think its simply the fact that there really isn't all that much in terms of competition to Photoshop. Yes, there are other converters, other organizers, other exposure tools, but nothing as comphrensive or as powerful for such a wide range of people. Photoshop is in many ways a darn near monopoly, and that draws ire. People hate being dependent on something without any real option otherwise.At least I do...[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=80054\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Photoshop is no where near a monopoly unless you want to change the definition of monopoly to "the most successful product." PS is where it's at because no one has yet to release something that can compete on the same level. There are choices other than PS on several fronts thus negating any resemblance to Adobe being a monopoly. A monopoly exists only when there is no choice in a market. If you or anyone else thinks there is no choice other than Adobe, then you haven't really looked.You are right though that Adobe's success draws ire. It seems to be human nature to distrust/dislike/whine about/etc a large successful company. It's rarely logical.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=80096\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
The problem is that many plug-in developers, even those that are still in business, cannot really start on this stuff for both technical and commercial reasons until at least a stabe Beta of the UB Photoshop is available.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=80196\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
61Dynamic, notice I went out of my way to say that PS ISN'T a monopoly. You are exactly right when you say that it is "the most successful product", and, " PS is where it's at because no one has yet to release something that can compete on the same level." That is my point, not that it is a total monopoly, but that because of its success and hold on the market for many user it might as well be. Does that clarify what I meant, sorry about the confusion?[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=80099\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]
Mr. Schewe looks and talks like someone who is VERY well fed by Adobe.[a href=\"index.php?act=findpost&pid=81250\"][{POST_SNAPBACK}][/a]

"Are [the fans] going to feel sorry because we're going to get fired? [Heck] no," Guillen told reporters before Sunday's game. "They only remember us from [the World Series title in] 2005. In 2020 we'll come here in a wheel chair all [messed] up. As soon as you leave the ballpark they don't care about you anymore. They don't. The monuments, the statue they got, they [urinate] on it when they're drunk. That's all they do. Thank you for coming, bye-bye."
Am I gonna feel sorry if you get fired? No. Not at all. You're not managing out of the goodness of your heart Ozzie. Same for the players. Neither of you play/manage because you love the team or the game.
I DO feel sorry for all the working people that try to feed their families and lose their jobs because their employer moves their jobs in another country where the labor costs are lower.
UPDATE: From Ozzie's twitter (in chronological order):
Thas bull crap what the media print today about celular field and the fans … The should print and said everything I said thas low blow and imrresponsable no clas … Bunch a crap … No mention any fans and alcohol … Press asociacion print you name who put that today tha will be fear … I have the enterviu on tape I whish I can sue then thas a very low blow … Allways take stuff out the contest put people in bad situation to people can read then … What a hell I going to say bad thing about white sox fan they are behind me all my carrer a less most of then
Hmmm, I'm willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. Ozzie's not the greatest speaker of the English language.

Sanctuary isn't a terribly popular (or interesting) show, but it does look nice. It's no coincidence, then, that they're the first North American production to exclusively use RED cameras .
As a production, Sanctuary has taken a lot of risks—they were also the first TV show to go almost completely green-screened, depending on rendered backgrounds for many of their shots. Oddly enough, this technique allowed the RED to really shine.
The crew gushes over the RED One, speaking mostly about its ease of use and versatility, and hinting that its reasonable price allowed the cameramen to spend a bit more on cinema-grade lenses. The most important ability of the RED, as far as Sanctuary is concerned, is resolution. With digital chopping an manipulation the name of the game, it's vital that individual components of the video can be cut and integrated into a composite scene without losing clarity, something which the One's massive 4k sensor makes possible.
It's also interesting to note how using a camera like this changes the production dynamics of a show; reviewing and editing footage occurs almost instantly, rather than hours later as in a traditional film production. So interesting is the production scheme, in fact, that it's the most interesting thing about this entire show. Oh well! [Dvice]

Florida Network Realty
Florida Network Realty is a new real estate company based out of Celebration, Florida with offices in Ft. Myers, FL and Jacksonville, FL. We are a general real estate company with divisions for residential, commercial and short sales. Although we are a new company, our team are very experienced real estate professionals and executives with impressive track records.
We are attempting to stand out from the usual real estate company crowd through our innovative services and identity.
Our target audience is a mix of investor types to young professionals. We are primarily focusing on home buyers and initially (while conditions allow) on those looking for short sale properties and foreclosures. Although we are based in Florida, many buyers here from out of state or abroad.
We want a memorable logo that will immediately identify us as being established, professional, trustworthy and modern. We do not want to look stuffy or want the standard "roof over the name type" of logo normally associated with real estate. We'd welcome out-of-the-box creativity and have no set color themes although we do not want anything too busy. The logo must be able to be reproduced across all mediums from website to stationery to signage. It should also look good in grayscale as newspaper advertising may be common.
We enjoy looking at everyone's creativity on here and look forward to seeing your designs. We will be offering regular feedback and guidance where necessary.
Logo will need to be delivered in EPS vector format.
Thanks, all.

Peyton Manning threw footballs today, while wearing a football jersey, to other people wearing football jerseys. This is important because it's been a while since Peyton Manning threw footballs, and people are really worried that he might not be able to throw a football as well as he used to throw footballs.
How did it go? Manning "showed no ill-effects". It went "without a hitch." His arm "looked strong." He connected "on several pass attempts."
There was "plenty of zip" on Manning's throws. But not just zip. "Zip and accuracy." His "trademark zip and accuracy." Which should not be confused with his "characteristic precision and accuracy."
He was "pretty good."
Here are 77 blurry photos of Manning throwing a football.

Greetings, Polymer Clay Peeps!
I have here, what I believe is a new polymer clay technique which I will call "Crackly Goodness."
or maybe BFCG? We'll see if anything sticks ;o)
The look is similar to mokume gane but the layered effect is created with alcohol inks only...no colored clay at all. I also got a great crackle goin' on, which happened entirely by accident. Love that *serendipity stuff!
I'll be teaching this new technique at workshops and hopefully will get a tutorial written soon for CraftArtEdu. If you'd like to get a better look at what I'm describing here, go to my Flickr account where you can enlarge the images and really enjoy the "Crackly Goodness." I've used this technique on my Mandala Beads which you can see there as well. Email me if your group is interested in a one or two day workshop.
*ser·en·dip·i·ty [ser-uhn-dip-i-tee] noun 1. an aptitude for making desirable discoveries by accident

Singer Jason Derulo talks 'Dirty'
LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Jason Derulo knows his recent hit, "Talk Dirty," is risque, but he's not too worried about it.
"I try to be conscious of offending anybody, but not that much," he said. "I really just try to do my thing and of course there is going to be backlash on every song that I do, so I don't worry myself too much on that. People saying things like 'objectifying women.' I'm like, 'What are you even talking about?'"
"Talk Dirty" has dominated pop radio, and the song has peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It has sold 3.2 million tracks and features lyrics like "but your booty don't need explaining" and "first-class seat on my lap girl."
"I wasn't surprised that it would hit mainstream. I think in 2014 things, you know, are getting more and more free (and) liberal," he said. "I hear a lot worse."
The smash is from Derulo's third album of the same name; it debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 albums chart last month. The album was released internationally last September under the title "Tattoos," but the renamed American version features some new tracks.
Derulo, 24, says both his new album and single reflect his growth as a singer and songwriter.
"I'm comfortable with talking about what my life is and things that I go through," said Derulo, whose hits include "Whatcha Say" and "In My Head."
"This album is a direct representation of who I am as a person and how I speak," he added. "If I was talking to my best friend, you know, this is how I would explain it."
The album is Derulo's first to feature guest stars, and hip-hop acts are a strong part of the pop singer's project. Snoop Dogg, 2 Chainz, Pitbull, Tyga and Kid Ink make appearances.
Derulo, who is finding more success on the urban charts thanks to "Talk Dirty," says he started musically in the hip-hop scene.
"Most people don't know my background, but when I first started writing songs for other people it was for hip-hop artists," said Derulo, who co-wrote Birdman's "Bossy" and songs for Diddy that didn't make his album.
"The world knew me as a pop artist when I first came out, which was cool, you know. I think I'm the first black male artist to actually come out as a pop artist," he added.

Great news in the search for planets that could hold life. New research suggests the search for habitable worlds should look to dim red dwarf stars, which may hold billions of chances for life — some of them in our own galactic neighborhood.
A new survey from the European Southern Observatory shows that red dwarf stars have substantial inhabitable zones, each which has a high probability of holding super-Earth planets — those with a mass 1-10x that of our own.
Through analysis of more than 100 red dwarfs over the past six years, they discovered that 40% of all red dwarf stars have a super-Earth orbiting in the habitable zone, where liquid water could exist. Throw that number into a galaxy with an estimated 160 billion red dwarf stars, and you see tens of billions of potentially life-bearing planets within the Milky Way.
There are even some likely candidates in our own neck of the woods. The survey calculated that within a 30 light-year radius of the Sun, we could expect around 100 habitable zone super-Earths. The most similar to our own planet identified was Gliese 667 Cc, which was found near the center of a habitable zone. It's the second planet in a trinary star system, and has four times the mass of Earth, but is the most likely to hold liquid water.
You can read more of the results here, and now that some of these planets have been identified, the researchers are hoping to analyze them further.
30 light-years? That's not so far...

Since the official launch events on January 30th, we've been launching BlackBerry 10 in markets around the world. Early reviews are in and the feedback has been positive, with anticipation growing in the United States – particularly among business users who have long appreciated the features and benefits of the BlackBerry platform.
BlackBerry 10 is designed for those who are active, connected, and who want to get things done quickly. It learns how you work to intelligently filter, prioritize, organize, and predict what you need. Beyond the beautiful hardware design of the BlackBerry Z10, BlackBerry 10 excels with the flow of apps to enhance your experience, and offers unified communications with the BlackBerry Hub. BlackBerry 10 also comes with the redesigned Documents To Go, deep integration with cloud storage providers like Box and Dropbox, as well as useful business apps like Cisco WebEx Meetings and Splashtop remote desktop, which are available on the BlackBerry World storefront.
For businesses and professionals, security and reliability are critical. BlackBerry Balance allows BlackBerry Z10 smartphones to be leveraged for both work and personal use – keeping personal and work data separate but maintaining a seamless experience that allows you to access both worlds side by side.
BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, our next-generation enterprise mobility management solution, allows IT departments and administrators to manage not only BlackBerry 10 smartphones, but also iOS and Android devices – all from a single unified and web-based console. With BlackBerry 10, BlackBerry Balance, and BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10, your business will have an advanced and secure mobile ecosystem
Beginning today, B2B customers can work directly with their T-Mobile sales representative to pre-order their new BlackBerry Z10 smartphones, with delivery expected as early as the end of this week. If you're a business that doesn't have a T-Mobile sales rep, find one on the T-Mobile web site. For consumers and end users, sign up for updates on when you'll be able to purchase your BlackBerry Z10 from T-Mobile online or in-store.

Disaster struck me a few days back when my six months old laptop hard disk crashed unexpectedly. All my precious photos and important documents were unrecoverable no matter what I did to revive it.
Thankfully, MDR Recovery Solution came to my rescue. Located in Kepong just opposite of Jusco, this centre specialises in data recovery service. My hard disk (Seagate Momentus 250GB 5400 RPM) was sent it on Friday and was promptly recovered yesterday.
While the price is not exactly cheap, I came to know that some other data recovery centre can charge up to an astronomical price of RM 4,000 per hard disk. So comparatively speaking, I guess the amount that I paid for was relatively cheap.
Mr. Yew, who is one of the business co-owner was very friendly indeed. He even copied all my recovered data into DVDs for backup purpose. If anyone of you faces data loss crisis, make sure you drop by MDR before it is too late.

It's for women who already have some savvy in a gym or with exercise and want to take their body to the next level.

Point Addis Coastline
The eroded limestone and sandstone headlands around Point Addis form a dramatically scenic and rugged coastline near Anglesea on Victoria, Australia's southern coast. The waters surrounding Point Addis are protected and are designated as a National Marine Park.
Big Sur Scenery

Rocks glow in the late afternoon sun as it lights up the powerful waves crashing against a weathered headland along the Monterey Bay coastline; California, USA.
Coastal Pampas Grass
A flowering Pampas Grass clump clings to the edge of a headland jutting into the sea near Santa Cruz, California, USA as a lazy wave breaks in the shallows below.
As The Sun Sets Over Monterey Bay
As evening falls over Monterey Bay, California, a warm orange glow develops in the sky. Reflections of the setting sun from the Santa Cruz jetty and the anchored sailing boats, appear in the peaceful waters.
Sailing Along The Breakwater.
The late afternoon sun casts a pinkish glow on the sky and waters near the Walton Lighthouse at Santa Cruz harbor in California, USA, as a light skiff sails past in a light breeze.
Quiet Contemplation.

Looking Out From The Cape Otway Lightstation
Overlooking cliffs on the Cape Otway headland from the balcony of the lightstation. Cape Otway is the site of many shipwrecks that claimed hundreds of lives over the years before the Cape Otway Lightstation became operational in 1848. Cape Otway marks the western edge of Bass Strait, the notoriously stormy seaway separating Australia's mainland from her island State of Tasmania.
A Crinkled Coast
Reticulated erosion patterns in basalt lava flows are found along the shoreline at Shelley Beach, Otway National Park, Australia. Located on Bass Strait, these rocky headlands are constantly battered by storms.
An Ideal Picnic Place
Ever hopeful in their search for food, a group of seagulls advances on an unguarded picnic site. This sandbar at the mouth of the Aire River, provides an ideal spot to have a picnic on a hot, clear day. In the distance, a mirage shimmers on the uncommonly placid Bass Strait waters.
Landing Flaps Down
A lone seagull comes in for a landing to join up with the rest of its flock while they are enjoying some quiet preening time on the shoreline.
Seabirds, Safe From The Surf
Seabirds rest and preen contentedly as they take refuge on moss covered rocks while Bass Strait surf pounds ashore nearby.
Waiting For The Tide
A sea bird scavenges for food in a shallow creek, home for a fishing boat stranded by the outgoing tide. The muddy creek banks of tidal flats near Morston, Norfolk in the United Kingdom provide a save refuge from the heavy weather that is characteristic of the North Sea coast of England.
Joie de vie.

During Christmas break last year, Asha Dornfest, a writer and mother of two young children, put together a blog that she dubbed Parent Hacks—a place where parents could share child-rearing advice. She set up the blog using TypePad and subscribed to the Feedburner service. Within months, she was getting up to 2,000 hits a day and had 2,100 subscribers. She was feeling pretty good about the whole venture, when in March, Feedburner introduced a new service called Uncommon Uses, which, as the name implies, provides links to sites that could be using your feed in an uncommon fashion. Out of curiosity, Dornfest clicked one of these links and was shocked to discover that another website had scraped her feed without attribution or links back to her site. As if stealing her content weren't enough, the site also placed Google ads on the page, which means it was profiting from it. Not surprisingly, Dornfest was hopping mad. Although there are no hard numbers that document the extent or cost of content theft, it is clear that Dornfest's experience is hardly unique.
RSS, or Really Simple Syndication, provides an outlet for publishers, large and small, like Dornfest, to distribute their content to a wide audience without worrying about email subscriptions or spam filters. Unfortunately, RSS may well have made it easier for unscrupulous website owners to steal content.
While Dornfest's case was clearly out-and-out content theft, other cases are not so clear cut and there is a lot of grey area in the copyright law, which (the Digital Millennium Copyright Act not withstanding) has struggled to keep up with the internet. It's hard for self-publishers to know when referencing another writer's content when the line between fair use and stealing has been crossed, and experts can only agree that Congress has left it deliberately fuzzy, leaving the courts to decide what is proper and what's not.
So what's your average blogger to do without access to a personal intellectual property attorney to sort through the issues? The fact is, even with legal council, it's not always going to be clear if you are doing the right thing when it comes to digital content reuse.
Yours, Mine, and Ours Bruce Sunstein, an intellectual property attorney at Bromberg & Sunstein in Boston, whose clients include Dean Kamen, the inventor of the Segway Human Transporter, says that the fact that we can all be publishers has made it much easier to repurpose content, but most people have little or no understanding of copyright law. "One of the things that is interesting about copyright is the digital age has made copyright rethink itself," says Sunstein. "It comes up in a lot of ways, but the whole reason for an article [like this] is that everyone can turn themselves into a publisher." He adds that in the past, professionally trained editors vetted everything that was published, and self-publishers usually don't have that capability. "Publishing is a completely different animal today, and it's very easy to take someone else's content and stick it on your feed," Sunstein says.
But publishers like Dornfest publish their feeds using RSS specifically because they want to make their content available to a wide audience, says Rick Klau, VP of business development at Feedburner, an online software company that helps self-publishers syndicate their content and understand the makeup of their audience. This desire to make your content available, and perhaps even share it, muddles the copyright question.
"I think the issue here is what is the purpose of having a feed in the first place, and as the acronym would suggest for RSS, it is syndication. It's trying to make it easy to repurpose your content, and make it available to those who want to consume it. It has the added advantage of being able to republish once someone has access to that content," Klau says. He adds that you can't put a value judgment on RSS as a technology, because it's all about how the re-publisher uses that content. "It's one of those classic cases where the technology is neither good nor bad. It's the intent of the downstream publishers and the actions surrounding that syndication that determine whether or not it's consistent with the original publisher's goals," Klau says.
Chris Matthieu, founder of Numly Numbers, an online software company that enables content owners to embed a date-and-time stamped electronic serial number with all their content, agrees with Klau that the technology is neutral. "RSS isn't bad at all. I think it's an incredible new technology that allows growth in the blogosphere and syndicating media. It's necessary for the technology to grow. It's how plagiarists use the content that's the problem," Matthieu says.

Boils and carbuncles are red, painful lumps on the skin that are usually caused by a bacterial infection.
The main symptom of a boil is a red, painful, pus-filled lump on your skin. A carbuncle is a dome-shaped cluster of boils.
Boils often get better on their own. Holding a warm face cloth on it can help it heal. If it does not heal, a GP may drain it or give you antibiotics.
Boils and carbuncles are caused by bacteria infecting a hair follicle. They can spread to another part of your body or to another person.
To help reduce your risk of getting a boil or carbuncle, wash your skin regularly with mild antibacterial soap and clean and cover any cuts or grazes.

Lesson Plan
Fairy Tales from Life
|3 – 5
|Lesson Plan Type
|Estimated Time
|Eight 50-minute sessions
|Lesson Author
Yankton, South Dakota
Students begin by making a list of fairy tales they know, and then brainstorming characteristics that describe those fairy tales. They then use their knowledge of fairy tales to make predictions during a read-aloud of a fairy tale picture book. Next, students work together in small groups to read, discuss, and analyze fairy tales. After compiling a list of common elements, students collaborate on their own original fairy taleseach student decides what kind of experience to write about, composes and revises a fairy tale, and finally presents their story to the rest of the class. The lesson follows a process method that includes peer review and encourages using picture books as models and concludes with individual reflection on the group project and fairy tales.
Fairy Tale Picture Books: This printable page lists recommended fairy tales in picture book format.
Story Map: Use this online tool to analyze fairy tale characters, plots, and settings.
Picture books are key to the success of this lesson plan, serving as the models and inspiration for students' own compositions. Katie Wood Ray explains why picture books can be effective in the classroom: "Picture books are short, and so considering a structure at work in a shorter text is much easier than in a longer text" (140). As students explore the fairy tale genre in this lesson plan, first by reading fairy tales and then by writing their own fairy tale stories, picture books are the foundation for their work. Ray suggests why picture books work in situations where students use the texts as models for their own writing: "Once writers get an initial understanding of a certain crafted text structure, they will recognize the structure in many other texts" (141). While students could explore fairy tales in many text formats, picture books are especially suited to this activity, as they provide both the basis for genre exploration and text models for student composition.

Age of Conan's New Director More 'Player-Centric'
"I think that the fact that Gaute leaves means that we get a direction which is more player-centric, since [new game director Craig Morrison] is so good at being hands-on with the communities at all times," said Funcom product manager Jorgen Tharaldsen to MTV Multiplayer in reference to the sudden departure of Gaute Godager.
Godager was a founding member of Funcom and served as producer on Age of Conan through the game's launch before leaving, citing dissatisfaction with the finished product.
"We have seen but the start of the evolution of Age of Conan, and out of all the people in Funcom, I can't think of anyone which could do it better than Craig," said Tharaldsen. His optimism echoes that of Morrison himself, who promised, "My main priority now is therefore to listen to, and act on, player concerns."
