How to Build the Next Generation of Global Leaders
Also read: Accenture, global diversity, leaders
Usually, the "L" in CLO stands for learning, as in "chief learning officer." But at Accenture (No. 22 in The 2010 DiversityInc Top 50 Companies for Diversity�® list), the "L" stands for "leadership." DiversityInc's Sam Ali recently caught up with Adrian Lajtha, Accenture's chief leadership officer based in London, during one of his visits to New York. Prior to being named CLO in 2007, Lajtha, 52, was Accenture's group chief executive of financial services, overseeing the company's operating group that serves clients in the banking, capital markets and insurance industries. Lajtha talked to DiversityInc about what's new in diversity and inclusion, the company's global leadership initiatives and how he spends his downtime in London with his wife and five daughters.
DiversityInc: Not every company has a chief leadership officer. Could you describe your job?
Lajtha: It's a strange title. It was a role that had existed before, so I'm not the first incumbent. There were two before me. When I … told my daughters I was chief leadership officer, it was not a title they had heard before. Now, they'll ring me up and say, "We want to speak to the chief of leadership, sir." But it's actually an appropriate title because I look after four things across the company. I run all of leadership development and succession planning. That's the thing that most goes with the title. I run what we call human-capital strategy, which is all about thinking about the future of the company through the lens of art, our talent, our leadership, our culture. I'm responsible for all of our programs around inclusion and diversity. And then, I'm responsible for all of our activities in the area of corporate citizenship. It's interesting because they are all in the process of change. I've been doing it now for 2.5 years and if I had written a job description of what I wanted to do in this company before I finally retire, this would have been the job.
Listen to Part I:
DiversityInc: We know the world is changing extremely fast. What are the implications for leadership at Accenture going forward?
Lajtha: I've always had passion around inclusion and diversity, even when I was a regular soldier. And I look at our achievements to date, I look at the balance we have, and I look at how we're doing in the advancement and promotion of women, our ethnic minorities, and our broadest sense of diversity, and I take great pride in it. And yet as you know when one looks at this subject, you're never, ever done. It is a glorious, relentless thing year after year. We're on a march toward a different world. We're not there yet, we all know. Accenture has really lit many fires around that with the progress we've made with the diversity of the organization as a whole. We need to be able to raise our game still further around that next generation of leaders who are going to lead this company five years from now.
DiversityInc: As CLO of a global company, can you tell us about Accenture's approach to leadership?
Lajtha: We are delighted with the geographic diversity of our leadership group. Ten years ago, we were made up largely of white, male Americans and maybe Anglo-Saxons—we may have attracted a few Brits. If you look at the diversity now, we've done a lot to advance the cause on that. Yet, when we look to that world as we see it five years from now, so much of the growth around the economic market is going to be in the emerging markets. We need to have an even larger proportion of our leadership who are relevant, who understand this culture, who are drawn from those cultures, making decisions globally for a company like ours. We are really proud of the stakes already in the ground, but the best is yet to come.
Listen to Part II:
DiversityInc: Can you share an example?
Lajtha: Let's take India, as a place. It's an extraordinary place. Eight years ago, India was maybe 1,000 people at Accenture. By the end of this year, it will be somewhere close to 50,000. So that is an extraordinary phenomenon. In China today, we have about 4,000.
Now, that brings up two questions: Does the talent exist to get those people on board? And do we have the leadership in place to receive those people when they come on board and to develop them, nurture them, enable them to grow? So mobility is now a big part of what we're actually doing. Person A, we want you to go and lead and help the team on the ground in India, grow this area of business for the next three years. You'll help the growth of that critical market, and what an experience you'll get for yourself as a global leader. And when you come back to the U.K. … you can bring that insight, cultural experience, leadership-development experience to your own journey. The long-term future in places like China and India is going to be with businesses that are led by Indians and Chinese nationals. So, we have launched high-potential programs in markets like China, India, Russia, Mexico and Korea … to identify that group of people who we think are going to be the leaders five years from now. We believe these are the people we can wrap our arms around … and we will actually try to fast-forward their readiness. So rather than waiting or keeping our fingers crossed, we are intervening and saying we need to proactively go in there and grow those leaders.
DiversityInc: In what way?
Lajtha: If you want a real insight into diversity in terms of the new world, then come to India. Five years ago, when we first started to look [at India] through this human-capital lens, we were worried. We felt we had a good culture. We have six very clearly defined core values in this place. We thought those were at least pervasive. Actually, when we asked people, they weren't even sure they could name them. And we thought, "This is a real problem." We rely on that being part of the glue that keeps us all together.
Today, if you want to touch and feel [the true culture of Accenture], go to Bangalore and see the people who are over there. And do those guys know the core values? You bet they do. They know them probably better, honestly, than your average professional.
DiversityInc: How difficult is it to export diversity and inclusion overseas where women or LGBTs may not have the same rights?
Lajtha: We have an ability to sort of slightly defy gravity on this. We have a responsibility to do it. We are for sure a global company and we are made up of this amazing number of people, more and more of whom are going to be coming from more and more of those different strategic areas around the world. So, if we're going to have 50,000 people in India and if we're going to be a company that shares the same core values here in the United States as we do in India, then why on earth wouldn't we want to have the same set of principles and values that extends to this passionate belief in how inclusion and diversity play out across our people in India?
DiversityInc: When you're not traveling around the world, how do you unwind?
Lajtha: I have five daughters. The oldest two are 23 and 21, then I have a 12-year-old and I have one who is almost 20 months and I have one who is almost 5 months. If you just think about that for a moment, then you know exactly what I do when I'm not working. I'm a 20-plus-year veteran at diaper changing, which has served me very well. When I get back home [to London] from New York, I will get back just in time for the babies to be waking up. I want to spend a disproportionate amount of my time with them, whether it's being a taxi driver for the older ones or lying on the floor with the younger ones or being out and about with them.
This article will appear in the March 2010 issue of DiversityInc magazine.

Works well; glad I got it
This review is from: HP Scanjet L2706ABGJ 7000 Sheet-Feed Scanner
Pros: I was a bit leery of buying a scanner with only one online review, but my experiences with the HP 6010 had been good -- until the incident I'll relate below under 'other thoughts' -- and so I decided to spring for this one. I'm glad I have it. I regularly feed in slightly crumpled sheets of papers in stacks, and this scanner rarely chokes on them. Better, the new software doesn't make me repeat a scan if I get a jam ... I can pull out the offending sheet of paper and pick up where I left off.
Cons: (1) The price.
Other Thoughts: I bought this because a teeny-weeny rubber part fell out of my old HP 6010, rendering it useless. This isn't a beef about the 7000, but consider the frustration of a modern user. I knew that only that rubber part needed replacing, and also knew that figuring out how to replace it and finding someone who could would be prohibitively time-consuming and expensive. So: new scanner, and adios nearly nine hundred bucks.

This review is from: HP Scanjet L2706ABGJ 7000 Sheet-Feed Scanner
Pros: It works and it works VERY well. It doesn't jamb for one. If you do things like scan documents that have say a check taped to the paper you have to make sure to uncheck Multiipic. It will otherwise detect the difference in friction and interpret that as a jamb as all other HP document feeders will. If you get some tape or something pealed off on the inside you can open it up with the press of a button and clean it up REALLY easy.
Cons: None. GO AND BUY THIS ONE NOW!!!
Other Thoughts: Why can't all the HP document scanners work this well. The 8000 and 5000 series of scanner HP makes are horrible at document feeding. The motor in the ADF on the 8000's tends to go out and the PSU also tends to burn out. It is picky about how you feed paper in and after a year it gets REALLY finicky though I have only gone through four of those. The 5550 and 5590s though are just junk they will start jamming about a week out of the box and fail about a week or two after the warranty has run out. I have worked with at least 12 of these and only two haven't had major issues but I think that is because those departments don't have much that needs to be scanned.

ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- Next Rockford will again lead a Boots and Socks Cold Weather Clothing Drive to benefit students in the Rockford Public School District. The drive will run from November 27 through December 14, with numerous drop-off locations in Rockford.
Many students walk to school on cold and snowy winter days with no socks or winter boots, often wearing the same shoes they wore all summer. This impacts their health, their hygiene and, most importantly, their ability to learn. The greatest need is for students in grades Pre-K through 5, but all sizes will be accepted. Last year's drive netted more than 200 pairs of boots, socks, hats, gloves and jackets. The goal this year is 300 pairs. The areas of specific need this year are as follows:
New and gently-used items can be dropped off through December 14 at these locations.
Next Rockford is a group of about 75 Gen X and Gen Y professionals in a wide range of industries who are working to develop and engage Rockford's next generation of leadership. The group was founded in 2003 and is open to individuals born after 1965.

"The new movie "Juno" raises important questions about the lives of adolescent girls in the United States. While the heroine makes an informed choice to keep her baby and give it up for adoption, we owe it to teenage girls to provide realistic portrayals of what having a baby is really like and the constraints it imposes on the lives of teenage girls, their education can be cut short, as well as their ability to develop their personal autonomy during their adolescence. Hollywood should take responsibility for representing the full range of options open to teenage girls who become pregnant, not only keeping the baby or putting it up for adoption, but the possibility of the use of the morning-after pill and abortion."

The Cards fall at Syracuse and the fans are saying "L no."
A better offense than Louisville? The heck you say.
On the way to respectability, the University of Louisville Cardinals trounce Temple and make a statement.
The battle for respect continues and it looks like the Cards are making headway.
The Cards win the Keg of Nails, but Cincinnati tried hard to hold on to it.
It was supposed to be a clash of unbeaten Big East teams. Cincinnati didn't follow the script, but the game is big anyway.
Completing their return to the nest, the Big East leader comes into the game with new confidence.
The Cards aren't unanimous, but there's an explanation.
What's the old line? You can't stop him. You can only hope to contain him.
Teddy Bridgewater and crew put the last two games behind them and start to kick some again.
It's time for homecoming so get downtown and get loud for the University of Louisville Cardinals.

text: Woman breaks down at McPeake trial 03 Jun 2014 A Belfast woman, who alleges she was involved in a sexual relationship with traditional Irish musician Frances McPeake when she was a 15-year old schoolgirl, has tearfully rejected claims that she had made the whole thing up. Share Share Share Story by UTV Staff, Belfast Breaking down several times in the witness box at Belfast Crown Court on Tuesday, the 20-year old woman said she embarked on a sexual relationship with McPeake - who was around 67 at the time of the alleged offences - and that the sexual activity was consensual and that she loved him.McPeake, 72, and his family are well known in traditional Irish music circles.He is currently standing trial on 12 counts of sexually abusing the teenager over a period spanning from June 2009 to May 2010.The complainant alleges that sexual conduct between the two began during a music trip to the Republic in the summer of 2009 and ended when she broke it off after becoming sick of lying to her friends and family about her relationship with the pensioner.During a second day in the witness box, the complainant told the jury how she and McPeake had sex "whenever we could" and that sexual activity took place in a minibus, in workshops, in a music school and in his car.As she was cross examined by the musician's barrister about the allegations she made against McPeake, she repeatedly told the court she was in a relationship with him.Each allegation she made was rejected by the barrister, who accused the woman of making the incidents up and of stalking his client.The barrister also accused the complainant of "pretending you were in a fantasy relationship with him", to which she replied: "I was in a relationship with Francie. It wasn't a fantasy."She was asked about several incidents she claimed happened and was also challenged about kissing McPeake in a car with her friend present.When she was asked about being afraid of whether or not her friend could see the kiss, the woman said: "I didn't really care. I was in a bubble. My life revolved around Francie ... that was it for me."When the trial began on Monday, a Crown prosecutor told the jury that the issue in this case wasn't one of consent, but whether or not McPeake had done the acts he is accused of.Since he attended a police station voluntarily in December 2012, McPeake, formerly of Eliza Street Close in the Markets area of Belfast, has maintained his innocence.In a prepared statement to police, McPeake said: "I have never done anything with this child."He branded her allegations as "false, malicious and without foundation", claimed he and his family had suffered due to a "campaign of harassment" from her and her relatives since 2010, and added: "She is attempting to destroy my life."The defence barrister accused the woman of threatening McPeake with suicide, of stalking him and of threatening to contact social services.He also asked the woman about messages she had sent to members of the McPeake family on Facebook, and of telling McPeake he had wrecked her family, and she was going to "hit him where it hurts" and wreck his.Sobbing, the woman said: "I hated him for what he had done to me. I still do. I thought he loved me and he clearly didn't."All I wanted was an apology for him, that's all I wanted. I wanted him to say that he was wrong, that what he did was wrong."Why should he have a family and a wife and why should he see his grandkids and everything else after what he put me through."When McPeake's barrister said his client "did not sexually abuse you as you have described" both north and south of the border, she answered: "He did."The trial is due to resume on Wednesday. © UTV Share Share Share

"They answered Him, 'We are Abraham's descendants and have never been slaves of anyone. How can you say that we shall be set free?'
"Jesus replied, 'Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave of sin. Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. So, if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. I know that you are Abraham's descendants. Yet you are looking for a way to kill me because you have no room for my word. I am telling you what I have seen in the Father's presence and you are doing what you have heard from your father.'" John 8:33-38 (NIV).
These were new believers! John has just informed us that many of the Jews believed in Him, the very same ones who were now protesting against His Word.
These people either had short memories or selective memories! Didn't they celebrate the Passover every year, a festival to commemorate their deliverance from slavery in Egypt? And what about Purim, another annual feast to remember their deliverance from extermination at the hands of Haman when they were captives in Babylon? And what about the Romans? Weren't they under Roman occupation at that very moment?
But Jesus was referring to slavery far more sinister and far-reaching than enslavement to another nation. His so-called disciples were oblivious to or in denial of their slavery to a ruthless master -- sin. Because of their meticulous observance of rules and ritual, they thought they were okay.
Their protest was hollow even though they prided themselves on being descendants of Abraham. They claimed natural birth as the reason for their confidence that they were acceptable to God. They were Jews by birth and Jews by tradition -- after all, weren't they God's covenant people? Didn't they have the mark of the covenant in their bodies?
Many of the people in the church today, who claim to be the children of God, are relying on the same false hopes as these Jews did. They claim natural birth as their reason for being in the family of God.
"My father was a minister; a missionary; a Baptist; an Anglican; a Presbyterian or whatever." Some claim performance as their reason for being a "Christian." I go to church; I read my Bible; I pray; I pay my tithe; or whatever I rely on to make myself acceptable to God. Some even try to put God under obligation to them. "Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?' Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'" Matthew 7:22, 23 (NIV).
But Jesus was not fooled. On another occasion He had taught the Twelve, "You will know them by their fruit." He was aware that these men who claimed to be His disciples were planning to kill Him because He was too nice, too wise and too straight with them for their comfort. Their claim to being His disciples did not penetrate to the nerve centre of their beings -- the driving force of their lives; self.
It was there that they needed deliverance from slavery -- from the sin nature that motivated every thought and action. No self-help could free them from the nature they were born with, the drive to be their own boss and to be number one in their lives. Jesus knew that He alone could break that bondage and set them free to become lovers of God and lovers of their neighbour.
What would it take to subdue the old human nature and replace it with a nature "renewed in the image of its Creator"? It would take their choice to destroy the only person who ever lived a perfect human life and then took the rap for every person who did not. It would take the death of one who took the worst that human beings could throw at Him without flinching, protesting or retaliating. Once that debt was paid, every slave to sin could be set free.
No one can ever know the freedom that Jesus offers until they stop living in denial, acknowledge that they are slaves and accept the gift of forgiveness and become reconciled to the Father.
Only Jesus can set you free!

Sky Sports wins "Best TV Broadcast Award for Outstanding Coverage" after debut season of Sky Sports F1HD
Sky Sports has won "Best TV Broadcast Award for Outstanding Coverage" following the debut season of Sky Sports F1HD.
Last Updated: 20/12/12 9:31am
The award was presented by Bernie Ecclestone at the 2012 FIA Prize Giving Ceremony in Istanbul on Friday night, where the FIA World Championship presentations were also made.
Barney Francis, managing director of Sky Sports, said: "It's an honour to receive this award for our first season with Formula 1. This is a great sport that offers drama and excitement and we're proud to do it justice.

Dan Walters: Are enterprise zones just for cronies?
Yes, it was a semi-cheesy, made-for-media event: two California state legislators standing in front of a suburban Sacramento strip club to complain for TV cameras that the club got corporate tax breaks meant to help the poor.
But Monday's event in front of Dj Vu Showgirls, featuring Jerry Hill, D-San Mateo, and Anthony Cannella, R-Ceres, dealt with a real issue: the evolution of well-intentioned economic development programs into crony capitalism.
Two years ago, Gov. Jerry Brown and the Legislature did away with local redevelopment agencies that had gone down that path.
A post-World War II program to clean up urban "blight" had morphed into a vehicle by which local politicians could subsidize development projects proposed by those with inside pull.
Redevelopment was, in effect, shifting billions of tax dollars that should have been spent on schools, police patrols, fire protection and other public services into welfare for the wealthy.
City officials screamed when redevelopment was erased, and legislators are busily attempting to resurrect it, albeit under other names. It will be interesting to see whether Brown stays the course.
Meanwhile, Brown also has set his sights on enterprise zones, another vehicle that allows local officials to hand out goodies to favored businesses -- with the tax benefits, about $750 million a year, coming directly out of the state treasury.
As with redevelopment, there's a well-oiled machine to defend enterprise zones as boons to the economy, including local officials, businesses that benefit from the tax breaks, and "consultants" who advise businesses on how to claim the credits, even retroactively, and take a cut of the action.
Every objective study – those not paid for by the enterprise zoners – has found that the tax breaks have no net positive effect on job growth, sometimes just paying businesses to shed jobs in one locale and create them somewhere else.
Hill became involved when a company in his high-cost district moved to a low-cost rural area and claimed job creation credits, and he's allied with unions in complaining about the misuse of enterprise zones in that and other such cases.
The enterprise zone program was created nearly three decades ago on the assumption that it would encourage businesses to expand into high-unemployment areas and hire locally.
However, it has morphed into just another way to hand out subsidies, with little or no proof that they are generating a net benefit.
The bill that Hill and his allies propose would not end enterprise zones but rather place some limits on their use that would, they say, focus benefits on real new jobs.
Perhaps it would, but the history is not encouraging.
There are always clever people out there who can find ways to bend such programs to their own benefit, rather than the public's.

Nothankyou is one side project that deserves the spotlight.
So, you know Nothankyou, that collaboration between Dirty Projectors' vocalist and keyboardist Olga Bell and British solo musician (and onetime guest star on "The O.C.", WHAT?!) Tom Vek? Yeah, so they're set to release their track "Oyster" (backed with "Know Yourself") this coming Monday. That's coming up quickly, and based on your blank-eyed expression when we asked if you know Nothankyou, you're gonna wanna stop what you're doing, sit down, and listen to this. Trust us. We're only doing it 'cause we loves ya.
Listen to Nothankyou's "Oyster" after the jump.
Opening with slow, dragging synth pieces, the instrumentation abruptly switches to a tearing guitar and percussion right when Bell starts repeatedly howling a chorus of "Do what you want anyway." The duo's sound and vocals remind us of a lot of other artists — the pulled delivery of Björk, Future's hollowed moaning on Rihanna's "Loveeeeeee Song," and the SBTRKT and Little Dragon collab "Wildfire" in particular — but the final product is anything but recycled… Unlike any variation on "It looks like the world truly is Nothankyou's oyster!", which we refuse to close this write-up with. Good day.
+ Listen to Nothankyou's "Oyster."

Refining Data Tables
Published: August 28, 2006
Many articles have been written on what is probably the single most ubiquitous interface element within Web applications today: the form. Forms justifiably get a lot of attention because their design is critical to successfully gathering input from users. Registration forms are the gatekeepers to community membership. Checkout forms are how eCommerce vendors close deals. But what goes in must eventually come out, and the information users provide to Web applications often makes its way back to users in the form of tabular data.
After forms, data tables are likely the next most ubiquitous interface element designers create when constructing Web applications. Users often need to add, edit, delete, search for, and browse through lists of people, places, or things within Web applications. As a result, the design of tables plays a crucial role in such an application's overall usefulness and usability. But just like the design of forms, there's more than one way to design tabular data.
In a previous Communication Design column, "So the Necessary May Speak," I discussed how to reduce the number of both visual design and content elements within a table to the absolute minimum necessary for effective communication. So, I won't repeat myself here. Instead, I'll focus on interface design solutions that enable users to find their way through large data sets. Read more

New Life for Product Documentation
Published: August 14, 2006
Here are some "truths" we've all heard: "Documentation is just a band-aid for poor design." "Real users don't read manuals." "Super users never read anything." "Help doesn't."
But are they really true? I've seen some signs of life in the use of documentation for digital products recently.
"I need it when I do something new."
In a usability test of some small business financial software programs, we all froze when one participant reached for a fat manual. We were all wondering whether the rest of the session would be spent watching him read through the book, looking for an answer. Amazingly, it didn't. Within a few minutes, he had found the answer and used it to successfully solve the problem he'd been stuck on.
Discussing this at the next break, we realized that we'd seen many of the participants using the online Help and How To… tips. They turned to them when they got stuck and couldn't figure out the next step in a task, but mostly, they used them when they tried something new. We started asking about their use of Help. Was it just something they were doing during the test, or was it how they worked in their own offices? In retrospect, the answers were not surprising. Read more

Display 2.0: A Look Forward to the High-Definition Web and Its Effect on Our Digital Experience
Published: August 14, 2006
In the next few years, the adoption of high-resolution displays—with 150 or more pixels per inch—will significantly alter our conception of what the Web and networked applications can potentially be. As the price of high-resolution displays comes down to earth and early adopters make way for mass consumers, beautiful visualizations of data will enrich the digital realm. High-resolution displays will allow us to chart greater depth in financial data on screen, render finer lines in maps and illustrations of technical designs, and show greater detail in photographs. In specialized areas of medicine, where the price tag of these displays is unimportant, this transformation of the online world has already begun. To describe the enhanced online experience high-resolution displays will make possible, I'll build on a term from the broadcast, cable, and satellite industries—high-definition television (HDTV)—and coin the term high-definition Web (HDWeb).
The computer displays we use for viewing our digital world have evolved relatively slowly in comparison to other types of computer hardware and Internet infrastructure—processor speed, bandwidth, and storage capacity have all made leaps forward in the past decade. While such improvements have shaped the way designers create and what they create—affecting everything from visual style and site architecture to interaction flow and overall functionality—these changes have been incremental and manageable. However, our move to high-resolution displays will be transformative, because it will affect designers' entire working medium. Digital designers will face numerous possibilities and challenges that huge increases in screen real estate and depth of detail will bring. Instead of a somewhat blurry and indistinct 72-pixels-per-inch working environment, high-resolution displays will provide richness and clarity. As high-resolution displays become more readily available, digital designers will find themselves at the forefront in navigating this new world. Read more

Some Democratic lawmakers want answers from Republican Gov. John Kasich.
A group of Democratic state representatives has put forth a bill that would require Kasich — and every governor after him — to come before the Ohio House of Representatives 10 times per year for 45-minute question and answer sessions where the governor would have to take at least five questions from each side of the aisle.
Rep. Mike Foley, D-Cleveland, is the bill's sponsor. He did not return CityBeat's call for comment as of Wednesday afternoon.
Cincinnati Democratic Rep.
"I think it's a great idea where the governor interacts with the legislature and we have the opportunity to question him and really engage on some of the issues and get his opinion on things," Driehaus says.
She said the Legislature doesn't currently have a whole lot of opportunity to interact with the governor, except for the State of the State address, but even then they can't really engage Ohio's chief executive.
The Ohio Democratic Party has recently filed suit against Kasich for what it says is a failure to comply with open records laws for redacting parts of his public schedules when responding to a public records request.
The ODP has called Kasich opaque and secretive for failing to respond or only partially responding to records requests.
However, Driehaus said the bill isn't meant to apply only to Kasich, but would apply to every governor after him. She said she didn't think it was in reaction to her party's spat with the governor.
"This is much broader and much more forward thinking than that," Driehaus says.

Aether Induction House
Aether Induction House is an experimental architecture project consisting of three prototypes. Dealing with mediated spaces, existences and space interpretations. Focusing on transforming the primarily visual digital environment into a physical and tactile experience, finding an architectural and tectonic embodiment.
More specifically, the project has led us to explore and build a new medium; programmable depth with the help of spatial pixels arranged in a 3d pattern.
No computer screens nor kinetic surfaces or even static realities, such as architectural spaces have the quality of changing, carrying information in depth. Some natural resemblances are available thought, like flocking of starlings or staring into muddy water, but these are not really explored in their physical potential yet.
Our focus turned on testing possibilities within this new medium, and exploring methods and forms of its embodiment.
The installation series was exhibited at several venues in 2004 and has some invitations for 2005. Past exhibitions include:
Venice Biennale of Architecture (video doc of the series), ISEA2004 (V3), Pixelache Kiasma (V2), Kunsthalle Budapest (V1)

"On the software front, we've made great strides in the last year and a half or so -- identifying ways to form shapes and route power and start to control some of these devices -- but we have a long way left to go," Mowry said. "The software is a key challenge. In fact, the software is more difficult than the hardware."
Trek Tech
For fans of Star Trek: The Next Generation, catoms, 3-D fax machines and dynamic physical rendering sound a lot like the grand fantasy playground that is the starship Enterprise.
On the TV series, crewmembers frequented what they called the Holodeck, a room where lifelike holograms engaged users in whatever scenario they imagined. Star Trek fans are known to pine for the gadgets and gizmos imagined by the show's writers -- none more so than the Holodeck.
"It's not far off," Mowry said. "In the case of the Holodeck, you'd imagine constructing an entire interactive environment. At least initially we think of having similar environments in multiple places, and then constructing a replica of the person with whom you are having a conversation. Ultimately it's along the right lines."
As the researchers continue working, they must figure out pesky issues, like how to power the things, how to get the hardware down to the desired size, and a million other details. Fortunately they have ideas about how to solve most of the problems. A solution currently in play is to power a vat in which the catoms are stored, with a direct connection between the vat and the finished object.
Since the beginning, they've referred to the rendering of catoms as claytronics -- essentially the molding of electronic "clay" into the most realistic artificial replication possible. Although the final product is a long way off, the name is especially apt considering Mowry says all it will take to reach the next level is molding a simple geometric shape.
"Once we have four real units, and one of them can crawl on top of the other one and form a pyramid, I think you'll see a tremendous number of groups want to get involved," Mowry predicted. "I think our expectation is there isn't one group that is going to solve this problem, but rather we are starting an area in which many people will get onboard once they realize it's as doable as we think it is."

Tuesday media watch [30.04.13 PM]: Hat-trick hero Benteke praised
Express and Star: Captain Ron Vlaar today issued a further warning to Aston Villa and insisted the battle to beat the drop is not over - despite smashing six past Sunderland. Christian Benteke hit a hat-trick and Vlaar scored his first Villa goal in last night's stunning 6-1 mauling at home to the Black Cats.
Sporting Life: Aston Villa boss Paul Lambert insists there is much more to come from combative midfielder Yacouba Sylla. Lambert took a gamble on Sylla when he shelled out £2million to pluck the 22-year-old out of the French Second Division, where he had been impressing for Clermont Foot, and chuck him into the intense heat of a Premier League relegation scrap.
ClubCall: Aston Villa are set to resist bids for Christian Benteke in the summer but realise they may not be able to keep him beyond January. The Belgian international added to his burgeoning reputation with his first hat-trick for Villa in their 6-1 demolition of Sunderland on Monday night.
ClubCall: Paul Lambert has tipped hat-trick hero Christian Benteke to enjoy a big future in the game, but made Matt Lowton his man of the match. Villa's biggest win since 2008 not only took them five points clear of third-bottom Wigan in the battle to avoid the drop, it also improved their goal difference to the extent they overhauled Newcastle.
Best Of The Rest
Sky Sports: Sunderland have appealed against the red card shown to Stephane Sessegnon during Monday's 6-1 defeat at Aston Villa.
BBC Sport: Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp says he is certain his side will not freeze when they face Real Madrid on Tuesday looking to clinch their place in the Champions League final.
Sky Sports: Sir Alex Ferguson has confirmed he has plans in place to improve his Manchester United squad in the summer.

Relevant theology and other influences
Early Christian theologians had problems with many forms of Gnostic dualism in first four centuries AD; particularly, how to reconcile a belief in a God who was omnipresent, omniscient and omnipotent, withthe existence of evil in the world he had created. Doctor Faustus often expresses attitudes and ideas from this period.
The ideas in Doctor Faustus frequently echo those of St Augustine. St Augustine originally believed in Manicheism (an extreme Gnostic dualist sect, see below). He thought through the Manichean ideas and eventually rejected them.
To account for evil in the creation, Augustine taught that evil comes from the abuse of freedom. The will is not inherently evil – becomes so when it chooses to prefer the lesser good (earthly things) to the superior good (heavenly things). Evil has no existence by itself – it is a deprivation of good – a tendency towards non-being which grows stronger as the will falls away from its proper direction, ie towards God and good. Both the Fall of humanity and the Fall of the angels come from a perverse choice of the free will – lead to a complete negation of all good, both the superior good of Heaven and the inferior good of earth. No good, superior or inferior, can be enjoyed unless the will is devoted to God.
There are interesting parallels between Marlowe and Augustine:
Doctor Faustus and the Bible
Marlowe was a trained divinity student with keen/informed interest in problems of Biblical interpretation.
Marlowe would expect his audience to be familiar with the Bible on Satan as adversary, accuser, and Prince of this World, on damnation and eternal torment, and on the temptation of Christ in the wilderness.
Doctor Faustus and Conscience
When Faustus blames the stars, the flesh and the devil, we are made to feel these are just excuses for wilful choice, made by his whole soul.
C16 accounts of conscience tell us fear is ordained by God, and its presence means there is still hope of salvation. But wilful man may continue to dismiss his fears until his heart is hardened, leading to despair and the loss of the capacity for contrition and repentance (cf Macbeth, Brutus). Faustus hardens his heart by resolutely dismissing the fears of conscience – he ignores the promptings of Good Angel and Old Man. In doing this his commits the ultimate sin against the Holy Spirit – he despairs.
Doctor Faustus and the Morality Play
Main elements are easily recognisable – Deadly Sins, Good Angel / Bad Angel, Vices (for example Valdes and Cornelius), Devils, the Old Man – the morality plays deal with central questions about good and evil and the human condition by showing the interaction of the personifications of abstract qualities.
Morality plays were still current as entertainment in Marlowe's day. Dramatic expression of traditional modes of thought.
Later moralities show the tension between medieval and Renaissance attitudes exemplified in Doctor Faustus.
Miracle and Morality plays offered two versions of the Devil:
Later Moralities
Becoming obvious in Tudor drama is an interest in knowledge, study, wit and science – only touched on in medieval Moralities – but had long been a theme in theological/homiletic writings (eg writing about religion, and sermons).
Eve and the apple – sin not just disobedience but curiosity – intellectual vice, but also (because of shame) linked to lustfulness.
Knowledge is a Good Thing because humanity distinguished from beasts by it, and through refined knowledge of God's creation man is led to a knowledge of God himself.
In Wit and Science (c1530, John Redford) science is God's gift, to be used for the benefit of humanity – an idea developed in The Marriage of Wit and Science (c1570). The bad character is Will – an obstruction to the partnership of Wit and Science. Faustus is diverted from service – using his learning for good – by the seductive power of the perverse will.

Husky men's basketball has a trio of scorers that coach Lorenzo Romar hopes will step forward to fill the scoring void.
Aside from the "Washington" on the front of their jerseys, what binds the Huskies' quartet of leaders is more significant than team affiliation.
They share similar stories about overcoming doubt, injuries and heartache.
Each has shown flashes of basketball brilliance, although their successes have been overshadowed by failures and shortcomings that's stunted their development.
But all of that is in the past now because here they are — Abdul Gaddy, Scott Suggs, C.J. Wilcox and Aziz N'Diaye — ready to fill some pretty big shoes before Sunday's season opener against Loyola Maryland.
- Purple Heart plant bed vandalized days before Memorial Day
- Refusal in Bernie Sandersland to accept reality is really unreal
- Central District's shrinking black community wonders what's next
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- All's still not smooth for Uber after its bumpy ride to Sea-Tac Airport
Most Read Stories
"To be honest with you, I never thought I'd be here this long," said Gaddy, the former McDonald's and Parade Magazine All-American. "But I don't know my future. I don't predict my future. I take it day by day. I come in the gym. Work hard every day and try to be the best I can be to help my team win."
Perhaps no current Husky has had to deal with carrying the weight of expectations as much as Gaddy, who was rated the No. 2 point guard in the nation when he graduated from Bellarmine Prep in Tacoma in 2009.
He started 29 of 36 games for the Huskies as a 17-year-old freshman and admits it was an "overwhelming" experience.
Torn left knee ligaments ended his sophomore season after 13 games, and he vowed to return better than ever.
Ten months after the injury, Gaddy started the 2011-12 opener. He led the Huskies in minutes played (33.9 per game) and assists (182), while ranking second in the Pac-12 with a 2.4 assists-to-turnover ratio.
No one compares Gaddy to John Wall — the No. 1 high-school prospect in 2009 — anymore. Still, Gaddy, a two-year captain, is happy with where he and the Huskies are.
"For me to make it here today, I feel blessed," said the 6-foot-3, 195-pound senior. "I'm a leader on the team and I gave myself an opportunity to be able to win another Pac-12 title and graduate from school and be able to have a chance to pursue my basketball career even further. Not a lot of people get this opportunity."
For Suggs, this season almost didn't happen.
He contemplated returning last season from surgery to repair a broken foot in December after missing seven games. Instead, he chose to redshirt and give his foot more time to heal and preserve his final UW season.
Turns out it was a smart move because he suffered a setback in January and needed to sit out four weeks.
"(I'm) totally healthy, pain-free. That didn't happen until this summer," Suggs said. "So redshirting last season definitely ended up being a good decision."
Suggs, a 6-6, 195-pound shooting guard, arrived in 2008 as the top prep player from Missouri. He played sparingly the first two years before embracing the role as a spot-up shooter.
Suggs ranked third in the conference in three-point accuracy, shooting 45 percent in 2010-11. He led the team with 49 three-pointers and started 10 of the final 17 games.
"I'm the grandpa on the team," said Suggs, a fifth-year senior who turns 23 on Saturday. "I'm ready for it to start. I've been ready since January.
"There's so much I want to do. But mainly it's about winning games and getting better. We do that, then everything else will take care of itself."
If Washington is going to win and win big, most prognosticators believe Wilcox will need to shake the injuries that dogged him during his career and emerge as a star.
"If the team needs me to do that, then I'm ready," he said. "Although I think we have other guys like Abdul and Scott who can step up and be a leader."
Wilcox, a 6-5, 185-pound junior shooting guard, is Washington's leading returning scorer after averaging 14.2 points last season. He is projected at being drafted late in the first to middle of the second round next summer.
Still, there are questions about a balky left leg that forced him to miss three games as a sophomore and didn't allow him to practice in the second half of the season. No one knows if Wilcox will develop beyond being a three-point specialist.
"We're starting to see him emerge as someone who can do many things on both ends of the court," coach Lorenzo Romar said. "He's added a fake, one-step dribble and pull-up. He's taking it to the hole more than ever.
"The biggest improvement I've seen is in his rebounding. He's so much better on the boards, and that's key for us because we need someone to emerge in that department."
N'Diaye, who was voted to the Pac-12 all-defensive team, led Washington in rebounding, averaging 7.3 boards, and ranks eighth on the school's all-time blocks list with 72. He has struggled to emerge as a scoring threat despite shooting 54.3 percent in his career.
Offseason wrist surgery capped a junior season that began with N'Diaye suffering a concussion that forced him to miss an exhibition. He also sat out two games with a knee injury.
Despite offensive deficiencies — he averages 6.1 points — the Huskies are hoping their 7-foot senior center can emerge as a low-post scoring option to complement their firepower on the perimeter.
Given the loss of Terrence Ross and Tony Wroten Jr. — UW's leading scorers and All-Pac-12 players taken in the first round of NBA draft — it's no wonder the defending-champion Huskies were picked to finish fifth in the conference in a preseason media poll.
"In college sports that's a fact of life," Romar said. "Players leave your program. And sometimes, the good ones leave earlier than you would like.
"But we've dealt with this a few times in the past few years. Jon Brockman leaves, and you wonder how you'll ever replace him. Then Quincy Pondexter comes along. He leaves, and you wonder the same thing. Then Isaiah (Thomas) steps up. Now we're dealing with it again.
"But someone will step up."

Figuring out estimated payments may seem a bit confusing. But I have a simple approach – that is, assuming your tax obligation will be the same or higher compared to last year's.
Here's how to do it:
- Get a copy of last year's 1040 return
- Go to line 76. This is the amount you paid to Uncle Sam. Let's say you shelled out $20,000.
- Then you subtract any withholding. Suppose for the year, this has come to $5,000. So, the net amount is $15,000 ($20,000 in taxes paid minus $5,000 in withholding).
- Finally, divide this amount by 4 or $15,000 / 4, which is $3,750.
And that's it!

Visit Gay Dome
Heads Up!
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
This review is outdated. Information may be inaccurate.
Gay Dome is part of the Male Spectrum Pass network, which is good news given the bonus content it brings you, because the collection has really shrunk. For a long time we suspected that they weren't adding new scenes, merely rotating the content, and now we can confirm it. Basically, all the scenes are taken from Gay Blind Date Sex, but there are more on that site.
GayDome is the home of a homosexual pleasure dome. Just don't expect it to be as big as the Houston Astrodome. There isn't really an overall theme, though. In fact, a good number of the scenes are based on gay guys going on X-rated blind dates.
They start with a corny reality-style first-time meeting followed by the standard sucking and fucking on what I would consider a successful foray into the dating world. My favorite scene has a jock paired with an alternative guy. Opposites really attract in this case and a big cumshot is the result.
Currently, there are 35 videos down from the 73 we found last time around. At this point, most come in HD, so that's an improvement at least. Still, you can only download 15 vids each month (if you stay a member for more than a year this increases to 50).
There are also 27 photo galleries with crisp well-shot photos. Most of the sets have about 120 pics and they can all be saved in Zip files. They're nice and bright, so you'll get to see every square inch of those delectable naked, muscular bods and rods. It's not quite frame-by-frame replays of the action, but you'll still get to see all the best parts in more detail than the videos.
You'll find a good number of bonus sites, including His First Gay Sex, His First Facial, His First Huge Cock, Gay College Sex Parties and Hot Muscle Dudes. Just keep in mind that the sites overlap in content a lot and all of them rotate their content too.
I should mention that if an episode here only offers below-average video quality, you can normally find the same one elsewhere on the network in a better-quality format. Just remember that there's that cap on downloads to contend with. Gay Dome has improved somewhat, but not enough to make it worthwhile.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

I have a problem, and I don't think I'm alone on this forum: I have too many bikes. I would really like to be able to easily transfer headlights between bikes, rather than break out a screw driver to remount it just because I want to ride a different bike. It seems like a light with a rubber strap would do the job just fine, but I can't find a product like this. Does anyone have a good setup for transferring lights?
I prefer LEDs that use regular batteries (I use rechargeables). Lights that require a water bottle holder mounted battery are no good, because half my bikes don't have one.

Earth Day at 40
What began as a counterculture event has gone mainstream, with 70,000 people attending a celebration in Balboa Park
San Diego's EarthFair, which has grown into one of the largest Earth Day festivals in the nation, celebrated its 20th anniversary at Balboa Park on Sunday. Thousands of people attended the event to check out exhibit booths, pick up eco-friendly ideas, dance to music and honor Mother Earth. Here's a breakdown of the event:
Attendance: About 70,000
Temperature at Balboa Park: 68 degrees
Volunteers: 380
Exhibitors: 389
Stages: Five
Hippiest band name: Deep Stirrings
Bicycles valet-parked by San Diego County Bicycle Coalition: About 1,000
Zero Waste Station (trash/recycling) areas: 27
Percentage of EarthFair trash to be diverted from landfills: 80 percent
Pro-marijuana booths: Six
Cost of a helicopter made from recycled Bud Light cans: $18 by Cancrafts by John
Cost of a stuffed animal made of recycled sweaters: $40
Must-have accessory of the day: Reusable shopping bags
Longest concession line: Ready Veggie booth
Cutest mascot: A walking blue recycling bin
Most un-EarthFest quote: "Keep walking, there're too many vegetables," a couple said in front of the raw food booth.
Best giveaway: Fage Greek Yogurt
The idea of a nationwide environmental rally intrigued the staff of UCSD's campus newspaper as plans for the event spread in April 1970 against the backdrop of Vietnam War protests and civil-rights activism.
Sen. Gaylord Nelson, a Wisconsin Democrat, was pushing for the first Earth Day from Washington, D.C. In La Jolla, the Triton Times' features editor, Richard Heimlich, wanted to commemorate it.
On the eve of the national observance — April 21 — the Triton Times published a special edition designed to spark student and community action. An image of the Statue of Liberty outfitted with a gas mask dominated the front page. Articles called for chemical-free foods and unrestricted access to abortions to control population growth.
"I was afraid it might be a one-hit wonder," Heimlich, a Carlsbad resident who now works for a newspaper syndicate, said recently. "But it went on to continue to build over the years."
Thursday marks the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, which has evolved into a more centrist and commercialized event but retains the core element of creating awareness about ecological problems.
The influence of the inaugural event has grown over the years partly because it shaped the outlook of many baby boomers who went on to powerful positions in the media, public policy, education and nonprofit work. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, for example, was created in 1970 partly as a response to Earth Day's outpouring of emotion.
"Earth Day in 1970 was part of the counterculture," said Geoffrey Chase, dean of undergraduate studies at San Diego State University, whose student body has launched numerous green projects. "Today, it is becoming mainstream culture, and that is a good thing because I think these are issues that involve us all."
Evidence of the increasingly mainstream nature of Earth Day was on display Sunday at the 20th annual EarthFair in Balboa Park. Nearly 400 vendors and about 70,000 visitors participated in the festival.
Carolyn Chase of San Diego, organizer of EarthFair, was in junior high school 40 years ago and created an Earth Day poster for her class.
She started taking a leadership role in promoting Earth Day 20 years ago, after looking for information about conservation groups in San Diego County. Her search led her to environmentalists who were planning to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Earth Day.
The turnout inspired Chase to stick with EarthFair, an annual event that's one of the largest gatherings of its kind in the nation.
"The most difficult thing to do is bring new people into (conservation) groups," she said. "That is why I think the EarthFair is still vital and important today."
