Asked by:
open forms with an effect!
I like to create a form that open like an open door or leaf. actually i want to create the animation of the door closing. Anyone have any idea how I can do this or an example of something similiar? ThanksWednesday, October 06, 2010 2:13 PM

Greetings MAHBOOBEH,
One way you can have an animated door on your form would be to create an animated gif image , using adobe photo shop or another gif animation program. Once you have your created animation:
- Place a picture box object on your form where you want your door to "animate" (make sure your animation does not 'loop' or it will just keep showing the animation, my guess is you only want to show it once when the form pops up )
- Add the .gif file to the picture box
- Show the picture box
Place your other form controls in front (on top in layer perspective) of the picture box control and have their visible settings set to FALSE . Once the animation is complete you can have a stream line code active their visible to TRUE . When your form loads build an animation stream at run time, this will detect the "end" of the animation and load the given code to show your form controls .
Hope this helps or at least inspires another alternative!

hi coyotecoder i want somthing Like animatewindow(it an api function)!, i cant use picture ,gid animation or swf or... .I need do this a little more professional(because its a biggish broject!) anybody have any idea??!!! tnx in advance.Thursday, October 07, 2010 7:37 AM
hi guys i have a good idea for this goal!! we can capture forms and animate theirs image before their opening, we shoud change forms opacity to 0 then show animation and after they show complete return form opcity to 1. i want an image animation like leaf now!!! anybody can give me a sample???!!! tnx.Saturday, October 09, 2010 6:08 AM
Hi Mahboobeh,
The question is advisory in nature. In general, WPF is a much better choice for doing UI animations than Windows Forms, but it is possible to do in Windows Forms. There's nothing built directly into Winforms that shows an animated "door" or "leaf" when opening a form.
However, you can write the code yourself to do this. If we search Bing for "Winforms" and "Animation" there are a number of links with various samples that the customer could leverage or use as a guide for getting started.
Hope this helps, your question is more of an advisory issue and you may want to consider support options to resolve.
My recommendation would be to have you open a paid support incident with Microsoft support, and see
if we can't get a repro. You may have a few options for opening said support
Alliance and Premier VSIP membership includes a complimentary MSDN subscription, which includes 4
professional support incidents. These can be used to initialize a support request with Microsoft's
Customer Support Services. Some versions of Visual Studio include a number of free support incidents
as well. See the "Technical Support Incidents" topic for details.

(LONDON) — A day after he declared he was "not ashamed of American power" and cast himself as an "unapologetic believer in the greatness of this country," Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney landed on foreign soil this morning to begin his seven-day, three-country overseas tour.
"The President's policies have made it harder to recover from the deepest recession in seventy years, exposed the military to cuts that no one can justify, compromised our national-security secrets, and in dealings with other nations, given trust where it is not earned, insult where it is not deserved, and apology where it is not due," Romney said in his speech to the Veterans of Foreign Wars National Convention in Reno, Nev., yesterday. "From Berlin to Cairo to the United Nations, President Obama has shared his view of America and its place among nations. I have come here today to share mine."
But this trip forces Romney to put the tough talk on mute as he travels from Great Britain to Israel and to Poland over the next week. Greeting Romney this morning in London, however, is this headline in The Daily Telegraph: "Mitt Romney would restore 'Anglo-Saxon' relations between Britain and America." The story quotes an unnamed Romney adviser who says, "We are part of an Anglo-Saxon heritage, and he feels that the special relationship is special. The White House didn't fully appreciate the shared history we have."
Another adviser referred to President Obama as a "left winger" who "doesn't value the NATO alliance as much" and who is "very comfortable with American decline."
The Telegraph's Jon Swaine notes, "advisers spoke on the condition of anonymity because Mr. Romney's campaign requested that they not criticise the President to foreign media."
The first few days of Romney's visit will include meetings with British officials, including Prime Minister David Cameron, and some Olympics-related appearances, including at Friday's opening ceremonies.

If you have a place you enjoy hiking or walking that you
would like to share with others, think about leading an occasional hike for the
Ventana Chapter. Hike leaders need to attend training before leading hikes on
their own. Members residing in Monterey County call Anneliese Suter at 624-1467. Members residing in Santa Cruz County call George Jammal at 706-4233
We are starting up a new membership committee. Do you have
a sales background, or just enjoy interacting with people? You don't have to be
an expert in environmental activism, but rather someone who would enjoy activities
such as welcoming new members to the chapter, organizing classes or other activities
for current members and attending fairs on behalf of the chapter to invite prospective
members to join.
We need volunteers for our political committee who are interested
in local and regional politics. Members help the committee to develop endorsement
recommendations for local city councils, planning commissions, water district
boards, etc, but also help plan events where constituents get to hear from their
various public representatives.
If you want to have an impact on local environmental issues
but don't have much time, sign up for our new action alert e-mail list. We will
alert you once or twice a month when phone calls or letters are needed on environmental
issues in Santa Cruz County, and perhaps occasionally on regional issues. If we
are requesting a letter, a sample will be provided, so it will be easy for you
to edit the text and print out the letter. We may also include requests for attendance
at important public meetings in support of our issues.
Volunteers are needed from time to time to phone local Sierra
Club members and ask them to attend public meetings in their communities to support
Sierra Club issues. A script and calling tips will be provided. Sierra Club members
are good people, and we screen out those who ask not to be contacted, so this
should be a very friendly experience!
See if your local movie theater will run Sierra Club public
service announcements. Movie theaters always have ads that they run as slides
before the movie presentation starts. If you are willing to ask, they will often
add public service announcements to the mix. Sierra Club has some beautiful slides
to offer.

New charge lodged against murder suspect
An Orchard Mesa woman charged with first-degree murder in the stabbing of a man in January has been freshly accused of tampering with a witness in the investigation.
In a filing Feb. 19, prosecutors moved to add a new count of felony tampering against 19-year-old Amy Adamson, who is charged in the fatal stabbing of Ramon Sandoval, 20
Adamson is being held at the Mesa County Jail on $250,000 bond and is expected to return to court Wednesday.
An arrest affidavit said Adamson admitted to stabbing Sandoval during an argument involving two others late Jan. 15 or early Jan. 16 outside of her apartment at Monument Ridge Town Homes, 2680 B 1/2 Road.
Witnesses told police that Sandoval didn't appear hurt that bad, while Adamson told police she didn't mean to kill him, the affidavit said. Sandoval's body was found in the complex's parking lot around 9:30 a.m. on Jan. 16.
Adamson admitted she took a knife used in the stabbing and threw it into a nearby field, the affidavit said.
In addition to first-degree murder and the witness-tampering allegation, Adamson faces charges of second-degree murder, first-degree assault, tampering with physical evidence, and separate counts of being a habitual criminal.

University can be quite an insular business. So much time spent focussing on the tiny details can be suffocating for the student; the underlying manifestos of units and departments leaving students struggling to find a clear path for their ideas and even less likely to be able to find a position where they can take a step back. I've often found uni to be like having an argument - it's always once you've walked away out of the impatient dynamic of explaining yourself that you think of the perfect comeback. Similarly, it's only when I've had a chance to step away that I'm able to see the real strengths and weaknesses of a project.
Now, however, the 2009/10 year is over and the projects of Unit 24 at the Bartlett are complete and ready to be consumed. Many students find ways to take their proejcts further after graduation, whether it be realisation, exhibition, publication or continuing refinement in their spare time, and as such it's a good time to open these projects up to a wider audience and get some feedback/constructive criticism/awe-struck praise. ;)
In this spirit, I'd like to ask you guys to offer critiques of a selection of projects from this graduating year of Unit 24 at the Bartlett. If you have questions to direct to the student too, I'll be sure to encourage them to sign up and respond in the comments below. I know archinect can go a bit quiet outside of term time, but any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated.
First up: Tom Ibbitson's project: The Still Vessel
A summary c/o Tom:
"The project speculates about the beginning of architecture at a moment in time when sailors skilled in the crafts of timber are shipwrecked on an island of stone. They start constructing a vessel out of stone using their timber craftsmanship in order to build the ship that they hope will take them away - but ultimately they fail.
The accident of the situation restrains the construction of the ship to explorations of the material properties of stone as alternative to timber. Springing from rigorous research into timber and stone crafting techniques and the Doric order, when timber detailing was inherited into stone despite its properties, Tom's drawings are mapping out different stages in the construction of the hope-laden vessel.
Contained within this narrative, Tom's work comments on how material properties and crafting techniques are used as architectural design agents. The project investigates the unfolding of space between material, the landscape and the body in moments of construction and in moments of occupation. It asks "At what point does architecture become inhabitable?".
Critiquing on the separated nature of the representational segregation of plan and section, arrangement and detailed drawings Tom has methodically developed hybridized drawing tactics that allow him to re-interpret the role of the primal modulators of architectural space – door, window, stair in his search for the first moments of spatial occupation."

I was lucky enough to see Tom present this work while in progress at a crit in March. As with most projects, such a small space can't do justice to a term-long piece of research. I do, however, remember there being a world of amazing details (one such detail that jumped out at me was using lemons from the original ship as a tool to corrode away a stone pin to enable the use of an oyster shell as a fixing: see the Oyster image above).
The project itself stuck a real chord with me in the way it ties itself back to real architectural considerations. I think it's fair to say that in the past few years at least, most universities have had their fair share of indulgent projects: amazing visuals lacking a hook to relate itself to the real issues faced by contemporary architecture - alegories with no application. However, what I like about this project are the possibilites of reexamining the moment when the doric order was born and architecture took a step away from material and structural 'truth' towards a stylistic imitation owing to physical and methodical legacy.
By setting the story up with the wooden ship meeting the stone island, the project forces the move from the 'true' Laugier hut to the 'imitation' inherent in the inertic addition of new technology. Rather than taking the easy route of proposing PoMo-esque self-references and suggesting that the intertia is a stylistic one, it becomes an opportunity to retrace these critical moments in architecture which still exist today. How amazing it would be if material development was still ao ingrained to the architectural process today and, rather than specialists being isolated until the point of sale, new types of architecture were born out of the testing and improvising of bespoke solutions.
Add a bit of Heidegger in there and start discussing the move away from 'truth' by introducing technology and I'm half tempted to start writing a thesis myself.
really great images; if Tom can bullshit his way through them half as well as he can draw them---success!
its hard to understand the project
fully from the few images shown. are there more we can see?
i love the project though...really
inventive and what i can see is beautifully drawn. did the sailors have tools
with them or did they have to make these from stone? what happens ot the stone
ship when it fails? is it used for something else?
its refreshing to see a thesis
which looks at problems inherent to architecture rather than jsut conttemporary
issues. I just wonder how much it informs the contemporary...more images might
help me understand.

Do you mean Interial?
to the 'imitation' inherent in the INTERIAL addition of new technology.
In which case, how is the addition of new technology interial? The force which drives technological innovation is the opposite of inertial. Do you mean interial and immitation in the sense that you can see old tech. precedents in new technology? As an example I point to Wes Jones's project in the 1980's where he also used Laugier's Primitive Hut as the starting point for architecture, but through a process of technological addition he calls 'souping up,' where you can see old precedents in the new.
The immitative, the carrying forth, from one generation of technology to the next has to do with what Wes Jones calls 'the good.' It is about carrying forward technological improvements or refinements that actually work and are useful, are 'good', from one generation to the next. So it is not really a stylistic thing, though I suppose it could be, the stylistic improvmetns are I guess what get shedded from one technological generation to the next.
I wonder if Tom looked at Wes Jones's Laugier Primitive Hut project.
This project rocks my world. Seriously, super interesting and gorgeous presentation.
It's so nice to hear that the School Administrator is also thinking the students. I hope the tuition fee will be still the same.
If drawing is a means of communication in architecture, then I'm lost.
I didn't read the attached narrative, but I don't really think I should have to in order to understand the thought process. It looks like visual art that someone tried really hard to make sure anyone looking at it will be confused, but fascinated.
Now I read the naarative and it's a little more clear, but still confusing. Does this seem a little convoluted to anyone else?
It's still cool. I'd hang those images on my wall, fwiw.
yeah. that's why I added the "bullshit" part.... gotta love school though
beautiful drawings - looking forward to seeing more work.
I am very grateful that Chris has set up this post, as the author of the work I am really enjoying the discussion above. There are other drawings that can be posted, feel free to post them elsewhere.
By stylistic the reference is to the Doric, I argued that ornament originates from important timber methods of construction, the rings of the column head can be seen as ties to a tree, or the triglyphs as engravings of timber beams, only at the point of transition from timber to stone do they attain other meanings as symbols in surfaces (Semper, Laugier, George Hersey).
To answer the question what is the result of the failed ship? The failure of the ship creates a temple. The initial idea stemmed from a pyramid. A pyramid`s only purpose is to transport people to the afterlife, it acts as a vessel (or ship) but remains stationary, this is the concept that informed the project and is one I believe applies to most architecture.
The project has a contemporary reference also, it is a comment on the infinate possibilities of today`s materials, our technologies (machines, chemicals etc.) allow for incredible variations and make material more malleable, the opportunity for material to be inverted. But how do we control this process? by re-investigating the Doric the project suggests that we should inherit methods of construction and investigate them in new materials (something explored by Scarpa and Kahn, also heavily influenced by Japanese timber construction). Perhaps the Doric threshold is imminent and can once again create an architecture of inheritance and inversion.
Thomas G Ibbitson
Thanks Thomas for your personal appearance here. I really appreciate the investigation your work undertook. It is both beautifully documented, but also suggests an elaborately designed and detailed world of possible narratives within the narrative. I appreciate this type of work and hope to see more in the future.
From the narrative of the project, it seems Tom's big idea is bring all the available techniques from wood and applied to stone. Then based on this new material 'stone', he tried to investigate the space made by it and its components like wall, structure column, stair.
The project is beautifully illustrated, color selection is reasonable, drafting style board make it very tectonic. But I still can't figure it out all the relationship between the drawings and Tom's intent. I guess it will help if the drawing is in much larger scale.
I really wish I can understand. Tom, could you help me on this?
I was able to understand 90% of Tom's drawing. Good work. Since this is a underGrat's thesis, so minor errors and confusing could be ignored.
Here is some of my analysis and the further discussion by other online members:

Government "meddling" in the form of bans and other restrictions on nonferrous scrap exports reflected the influence of consumers "who falsely believe that scrap processed within their borders by us is inherently theirs to consume, regardless of its origin," BIR Nonferrous Metals Division President Robert Stein of U.S.-based Alter Trading told the divisional meeting in Shanghai on May 27.
Stein's comments came at the end of a month in which the Indian government had raised the basic customs duty on aluminum scrap imports to 2.5 percent and had re-imposed the 4 percent special additional duty of customs on brass scrap imports—moves he described as "yet another obstacle to the natural flow of metals around the world."
"The markets are the best at determining where our scrap is shipped; the more barriers to free trade, the higher the costs to the processing community who will seek alternative markets," Stein said.
In his summary of world markets based on reports submitted to the most recent BIR Nonferrous Metals World Mirror, Paul Coyte of Hayes Metals in New Zealand expressed his confusion as to why the Indian government had chosen to make such changes at a time of global uncertainty when, five years earlier, it had done "the polar opposite."
Stein also cited a number of the other intractable problems currently confronting the nonferrous sector, including difficult margins, the high cost of scrap and thefts of metal from containers. He welcomed BIR's decision to join forces with the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), a crime-fighting unit of the International Chamber of Commerce, in order to help it to build a more comprehensive database that could better apprise BIR members of theft and fraud risks around the world.
The chairman of BIR's International Trade Council, Robert Voss of UK-based Voss International, urged association members to contact the IMB with details of any theft or fraud. The more information contributed by members on a strictly confidential basis, "the more we are protected as an industry," Voss insisted.
One of two guest speakers at the BIR Nonferrous Metals Division meeting in Shanghai, C. S. Huang, the chairman and CEO of Ye Chiu Taicang (Aluminum) in China, argued that huge demand from the automotive sector was likely to encourage further development of the aluminum alloy industry in China. He also suggested that the "Green Fence" policy implemented by China earlier this year had deprived many factories in Guangdong of sufficient secondary raw materials to meet their production requirements.
Fellow guest speaker Xun Min Guo, executive vice president of major China-based copper scrap importer Dongying Fangyuan, described scientific innovation as the "lifeblood" of his smelting operation. Award-winning oxygen bottom blowing technology had delivered better recovery rates as well as low operating costs and a one-third reduction in energy usage, he said.
Also in Shanghai, it was noted that the BIR Nonferrous Metals Division had established an Electronic Scrap Committee under the leadership of Phär Oscár of Stena Metall, based in Sweden.
The 2013 BIR World Recycling Convention & Exposition was at the Pudong Shangri-La Hotel in Shanghai May 27-29.

After months of false starts, OPEC claims it is ready to drop production far enough to pull more money out of the pockets of the oil-consuming nations.
The cartel has been humiliated more than once as it has chopped output only to see the price of oil drop further. Since September, OPEC said it has taken four million barrels a day out of circulation. That number is in dispute. It may be smaller. But, the fact of the matter is that some of the organization's members probably did not follow the rules and cut as fast or deep as had been planned. Nations including Iran and Venezuela may need the capital too much to drop the number of barrels that they export.
Once oil prices started to cascade from over $141 a barrel this last summer to well below $40, OPEC knew that its members would not be able to support their own economies which, in many cases rely almost entirely on income from crude sales. Russia, which is not a member of the cartel, is facing similar trouble, so the incentive to move oil back toward $70 gets greater as each day passes. (See pictures of oil.)
According to MarketWatch, "OPEC is ready to make further cuts in oil production in coming months if prices and global demand don't stabilize, the oil cartel's secretary general said at the World Economic Forum."
The world should getting ready for much higher oil prices, even if that will make the recession deeper. OPEC has the capacity to cut demand at a rate to outrun falling supply. It has not done so, but that could change before the end of this quarter. Its member nations are ready to put their own interests ahead of those of both their customers and the economy at large.
The countries in the cartel have relied on oil to build their own infrastructures and sovereign funds. The money has allowed them to invest in businesses throughout the U.S., E.U., and Japan. Now, when assets in those nations are relatively cheap, OPEC members have lost the capital that they need to take advantage of bargains.
The price of oil is moving back up. The only question is how far.

18-34 Year-Olds Wielding More Power with Recommendations14 Nov, 2012 By: Doug McPherson
SAN FRANCISCO – New research on mobile advertising among 18-34 year olds has found that half of all respondents regularly share sales offers with peers via smartphones, and 41 percent make purchase decisions based solely on recommendations from friends and family.
RadiumOne, a social advertising firm that conducted the study, says the 18-34 demographic, which some call "Generation C," is becoming one of the most elusive yet lucrative markets for brands.
"The results of our survey shed light into how brands can better communicate and interact with one of the most mobile and influential consumer groups of our time," said Kamal Kaur, vice president of mobile and display at RadiumOne. "Social sharing across trusted connections and viral buzz via smartphones and tablets are extremely influential to the Gen-C population, requiring new rules of engagement between brands and this highly sought after demographic."
Other revelations:
- 47 percent of respondents indicated they have clicked on a mobile ad in the past three months.
- 54 percent made a purchase from a mobile device in the past six months. Of those, 32 percent made 1-3 purchases, 14 percent made 3-6 and 9 percent made 6+ purchases.
- 79 percent of respondents revealed that mobile purchases are largely driven by personal recommendations (41 percent) and sales-based content (38 percent).
- Half of the respondents (50 percent) used their smartphones to share offers such as coupons, sales and ads with friends.
- More than half (55 percent) of respondents used their mobile device to comparison shop at least once per week.
According to the findings, sharing offers with friends is not only a phenomenon of face-to-face interactions and desktop display channels, but it is also happening at a faster pace on consumers' mobile devices. The power to identify social connections, gain insight about consumer behavior on mobile devices, and analyze real-time interests enables brands to cater to the needs of this burgeoning demographic.

Somerset County
Pennsylvania, USA
Mrs. Cushing was a retired service representative for New Jersey Bell from Bayonne, New Jersey. She and her husband, Thomas, were married in 1958. Mr. Cushing passed away in 1988. They were the parents of sons Thomas, John and David and daughters Alicia and Pegeen. Mrs. Cushing and her sister=in-law, Jane C. Folger, were on their way to San Francisco for vacation. She was 69 years old.
Jersey Journal, The (Jersey City, NJ) - Monday, September 17, 2001:
Deceased Name: Patricia "Pat" Cushing and Jane C. Folger: Two Bayonne kin die in hijacking crash Two women from Bayonne were among those killed in the crash of the hijacked United Airlines flight 93 on Tuesday. The women, Patricia "Pat" Cushing and Jane C. Folger, were on the Boeing 757 that left Newark airport for San Francisco early Tuesday morning and crashed in a field about 80 miles southeast of Pittsburgh, around 10 a.m. Folger and Cushing were among the 45 passengers and crew members aboard the ill-fated airplane. Authorities said a struggle erupted on the plane between some of the passengers and the hijackers, leading it to crash into the field in western Pennsylvania. The hijackers might have been targeting the plane for Congress or the White House in Washington, D.C., officials said. Folger and Cushing were sisters-in-law and good friends. "They kind of paired up after they retired, the two of them," said one of Cushing's daughters, Pegeen "Peg" Cushing, of Bayonne. "They were constantly together. They shopped, they traveled." The two had been planning a trip to San Francisco for the last six months. They were excited to go see the City on the Bay. "My wife and I had gone with my kids to San Francisco about five years ago and we raved about it," said one of Folger's sons, Robert. Jane Folger, nee Cushing, was 73 and was a lifelong resident of Bayonne. A mother of six, she was a homemaker, until later in life, when she became a bank officer. She worked at various branches of Summit Bank in Bayonne for 25 years and retired in 1994. It was Folger's warm personality and her work at the bank that made her a well-known person in Bayonne, relatives said. A large number of people showed up at two wakes for Folger on Friday, at G. Keenen O'Brien Funeral Home, Bayonne. "People were lined up around the block," said Robert Folger. "It was unbelievable how many people came." Jane Folger had a passion for New York City. "She went to tours, plays, poetry readings, anything she could get her hands on," added Robert. "She often brought her grandchildren to New York to show them around and to expose them to what New York had to offer." One of the last pictures taken of Folger in New York City was one of her with two grandchildren on top of the World Trade Center. Speaking about the picture now, her son could only say, "It's just so ironic." Mass for Folger was at 10 a.m. Saturday at St. Vincent de Paul Church, Bayonne. Patricia Cushing, nee Gross, was 69 and was born and raised in Baltimore, Md., but came to Bayonne 40 years ago. "She was the sweetest woman you'd ever meet," said Pegeen Cushing. "She was very much into religion and she was a genuinely kind hearted woman." The elder Cushing had five children, and was a service representative at Bell Atlantic for more than 20 years. She was a member of the Women's Club of Bayonne. Mass for Cushing will be at 9:30 a.m. tomorrow at St. Henry's Church, Bayonne.

Every Seat Was Sold Out
30 for 30: Jordan Rides the Bus
Ron Shelton
Phil Jackson, Jerry Reinsdorf, Terry Francona
Regular airtime: Tuesday, 8pm ET
US: 24 Aug 2010
That was a strikeout, Mike. But that was a good-looking strikeout. Real good.
—Baseball Player #1 (Luke Torres), Space Jam
On 6 October 1993, Michael Jordan retired from basketball. The first time. At the time, the decision seemed monumental. Jordan and the Chicago Bulls had just won the NBA title. He had been spotted gambling in Atlantic City. And his father, James, had been murdered. "I was tired of being in that light and expectations. I needed a change, I totally needed a break," Jordan said later. "I just felt like I was being engulfed by the success that I'd gathered at that time."
All this was surprising enough. And then Jordan made another decision, to play baseball. Jordan Rides the Bus follows the year or so when he played, for a minor league team, the Birmingham Barons. More precisely, Ron Shelton's documentary, premiering 24 August as part of ESPN's 30 for 30 series, follows how that year affected a whole lot of people who were not Michael Jordan. For the break that he needed, the success that he had to reject—however temporarily—was not his alone. Like LeBron's recent choice to take his "talents to South Beach," Jordan's decision in 1993 changed lives other than his own.
That doesn't mean his decision was selfish or unfair, just that it had consequences. Phil Jackson says he advised his superstar to consider carefully how his retirement would affect the experiences of fans who loved to watch him play, as well as his teammates and other people who worked for the Bulls and the NBA more generally. Remembering that Bulls owner Jerry Reinsdorf had asked him to "talk him out of it," Jackson claims he never was able to shape Michael's choices. "He does everything just about on his own whim," smiles the Zen Master.
Rumors swirled concerning reasons for this particular whim, including the one that had David Stern forcing him out of basketball because of a gambling controversy. Jordan Rides the Bus dismisses that theory ("It's the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life," says Steve Kerr. "Michael was the golden goose") and instead takes Jordan pretty much at his word. Namely, he was pursuing a dream he had shared with his dad, that he would play baseball one day. "This is my choice," Jordan says at the news conference announcing the retirement. "I've been riding this roller coaster for nine years. Now it's just time for me to ride something else."
Following this cue, the documentary cuts to that something else, the bus. Again and again, the film shows the view from bus windows or shots of bus wheels. He loved the bus, says Terry Francona, manager of the Barons, because it was "a time where he could be like me and you and people couldn't get at him, he could just relax." Errr, maybe not exactly like you and me. As the film makes clear, Jordan's minor league career—plainly helped along by the fact that the team was part of the White Sox system, also owned by Reinsdorf—was quite unlike everyone else's. For one thing, recalls Mary Milton, the real estate agent who found him a home in Birmingham, he arrived in a private jet, landed at a private airfield. And for another, the drove around town in his Porsche, "So, it was definitely pretty exciting."
This sort of excitement—premised on Jordan's brilliance and celebrity—made him a target as well. As Steve Wulf puts it, "It takes people years to learn how to hit a baseball, and this guy thinks he can just walk on and do it." Wulf himself became somewhat notorious for a March 1994 piece he wrote for Sports Illustrated, "Bag It, Michael" (which inspired Jordan to "cut off official communication" with the magazine), a story Wulf now appears to regret. When he saw the cover line, he says now, "I literally cringed because it wasn't the story I wrote. It wasn't the story I meant to write."
Wulf's efforts to make it right with Jordan didn't quite pan out: though he wrote another piece in October 1994, describing Jordan's development over the year: "He had a great swing," Wulf says. "He had turned himself into a baseball player and I was astounded." He notes as well that SI refused to run the second article, suggesting that the public standoff between Jordan and the magazine informed that decision.
Given its focus on Jordan (a focus constructed without sit-down time with Jordan), Jordan Rides the Bus doesn't look directly this other sort of decision, a decision that reflects the ever-evolving, interdependent relationship between athletes and sports media. Instead, it looks at this decision through a series of lenses, most provided by the players, coaches, and media members affected by Jordan's year in baseball. As Francona puts it, "In life with Michael, there was a lot of percs."
These include a sold-out season for the Barons and a chance for fans to see their idol for "less than five bucks." As Spike Lee's Nike ads at the time suggest, he's no Stan Musial or Willie Mays, but "He's trying." The campaign offers another way to think about sports celebrity, not all-conquering, but genuinely (that is, performatively) playing and appreciating the game. "They had an attitude toward the game that they truly loved," Jordan says of his fellow Barons. "I kinda lost that in the realm of basketball… I was on a pedestal for so long I kind of forgot the steps to get to that." In rediscovering the steps, the story suggests, he was able to be a better teammate and athlete—both during 1994 and after, when he returned to basketball (and went on to win three more titles with Jackson and the Bulls).
Even off the pedestal, those around Jordan shared a year of something special. Barons infielder Kenny Coleman says, "I honor that summer, seeing the impact that that season had on just fans." (The film includes a shot of Jordan in his red Corvette, paused on the street to sign an autograph for a boy in a baseball cap: the camera waits, the kid walks away, thrilled, and the car screeches into the distance.) First baseman Scott Tedder underlines: "It was like the seventh game of the World Series every town we went to, because every seat was sold out. It rejuvenated us. Scouts were coming to see Michael, but they could also see us too."
This effect extends beyond the players, and as you might expect in a film directed by Shelton, a lover of details, offbeat and telling. When the film turns to Jack Rouss, owner of Gabriel's Sport Café, it offers a glimpse of Jordan's other effects. Rouss is still beaming, 15 years later, as describes Jordan coming in to play pool. "He played four people at one time, so people could say they played Michel Jordan." He smiles as images show Jordan leaned over a table: "It was something just to see Michael Jordan walking around and associating himself with my people. It was unbelievable, just the greatest experience that you ever could imagine."
Such moments reveal what Jordan Rides the Bus is about. It's not about baseball or basketball, or even Michael Jordan. It's about how all that reshapes lives and memories, briefly and forever.

Good news from the virtualization team. Over on their blog is a new post about the import/export functionality in Hyper-V. There are major enhancements that address several scenarios that were either not easy or not possible with Hyper-V RTM. Scenarios such as exporting a VM and importing it to a different location or importing the same exported VM multiple times, etc. R2 introduces multiple enhancements described well on the team blog.
This is the one area where I was disappointed with Hyper-V RTM as it felt like a step back from Virtual Service instead of a step forward since in VS moving VMs was a simple matter of copying the VHD and VMC to a new location. While in this area Hyper-V felt like a small step backwards, the purpose was to put much more programmability into the entire import/export process. Basically setting the foundation for the much more advanced approach being delivered now. These new features will be significant enablers for all of the backup, storage, and lab management suites being developed by Microsoft and others.

Garmin capitalises on iPhone 5 mapping disaster
Apple's mapping failure couldn't have come at a better time for Garmin.
With public transport options ready to go, Garmin have updated their Navigon app for iOS 6, complete with support for the iPhone 5's taller 4 inch display. Garmin StreetPilot Onboard will also follow shortly with an iOS 6 update in the near future, complete with their alternative to Street View.
The public transport options include support for trains, trams, buses and water taxis, as well as Garmin's new 'Last Mile' feature, demonstrated at the IFA: consumer electronics trade show in Berlin earlier this month.
According to the Official Garmin Blog: "Users will be guided to a transit stop by foot and be able to look up detailed information on what line to take and where to get off. The new Last Mile function automatically saves the location of the user's car when continuing by foot, making it easy to find it on the way back."
Apple's own mapping app provides links to third-party navigation and mapping apps to provide the missing public transport features. Garmin's updated apps join the list of supported services, so you can jump from app to app as painlessly as currently possible. It's not the ideal situation, but it's currently the best option available until Apple's native mapping experience is up to scratch.
It's surprising that Apple didn't choose to licence these features from the likes of Garmin in order to make their native mapping experience more feature complete, instead of delivering a half-baked app like they have this week. It's possible that they may have tried and failed to partner with third-party mapping companies, although no rumours of such talks have ever leaked. Surely, Apple has some plans in the works other than to leave users wanting until Apple themselves catch up.
Based on the current negative attention iOS maps is attracting, Apple may be forced to strike a deal with a third-party to quickly bring the native experience up to parity with the competition. Google have already stated that they want to bring Google Maps to every possible platform, so it's only a matter of time before we see an official Google Maps app in the iOS App Store. There have been rumours that Google already have an app awaiting approval from Apple, but this has not been officially confirmed.
Until Google or Apple bring a more complete mapping experience to the iOS ecosystem, it looks as though Garmin might be the best port of call for the time being.

For our column Jams We Love, we're turning you onto the songs that keep us going every day. We'll showcase a new playlist every week so you can start things off right.
1. Cities Aviv, "Old Daze (Can't Hold On)"
This Memphis rapper recently screamed onto my radar and I'm having a real hard time choosing which track I like best. Today, I've settled on this one. Twenty-two-year-old Cities Aviv sports a traditional, flawless flow that recalls rap's 90s glory days, yet pairs his voice with experimental noise, samples of Steely Dan and SF's own Blackbird Blackbird.
2. Jonathan Richman, "Roadrunner"
Sometimes Richman will play surprise shows at the Makeout Room or Lost Weekend Video, so space evaporates as soon as the show's announced. This week, he's playing Great American Music Hall, so you can enjoy his Velvet Underground-esque ramshackle rock 'n roll without straining to see the man himself.
3. Iggy & The Stooges, "Shake Appeal"
Several weeks ago, The Stooges were set to play The Warfield until Iggy went and broke his foot and canceled the whole shebang. Now Iggy's back in fighting form. And we mean that–having seen the band a year ago in New York, it's true that they're the hardest working sexagenarians around. If you're lucky enough to feel the spray of Iggy's sweat as he leans over the audience, try not to shower for as long as humanly possible.
4. Quilt, "Penobska Oakwalk"
Now that the slightly irritating "psych-folk" movement of the early-aughts has passed, we can stomach the lilting charm of Quilt, a Massachussets band that mines eccentric 60s folk and unpolished, backwoods psychedelia on their self-titled album.
5. Wiz Khalifa, "Say Yeah"
Wiz is performing with Snoop next week in an epic joining of forces, so we decided to unearth one of his early hits. I love a good synth line in a rap song, and this, of Alice Deejay fame, is one of the club-banginest we've ever heard.

From psychobabble to biobabble: How drug money has come to dominate psychiatry
This month's Lancet contains a short, romping, and highly readable essay on the history of psychiatry. It's written by Andrew Scull, professor of sociology at the University of California, San Diego, who has steeped himself in the topic for four decades.
Scull talks about how psychiatry has revolutionized itself during the span of his career. The Freudian movement dominated the field through the 1960s — a period, he notes, when mental illnesses like schizophrenia were often attributed to such now discredited causes as the "refrigerator mother."
Then, "more swiftly and silently than the Cheshire cat, psychoanalytic hegemony vanished," writes Scull. Its replacement: drugs, the "new Holy Grail of the profession."
But has this Holy Grail turned out to be yet another false icon? Here's Scull's scathing conclusion:
The US National Institute of Mental Health proclaimed the 1990s "the decade of the brain." A simplistic biological reductionism increasingly ruled the psychiatric roost. Patients and their families learned to attribute mental illness to faulty brain biochemistry, defects of dopamine, or a shortage of seratonin. It was biobabble as deeply misleading and unscientific as the psychobabble it replaced, but as marketing copy it was priceless. Meantime, the psychiatric profession was seduced and bought off with boatloads of research funding. Where once shrinks had been the most marginal of medical men, existing in a twilight zone on the margins of professional respectability, now they were the darlings of medical school deans, the millions upon millions of their grants and indirect cost recoveries helping to finance the expansion of the medical-industrial complex.
And so to scandal. He who pays the piper calls the tune, and to a quite extraordinary extent, drug money has come to dominate psychiatry. It underwrites psychiatric journals and psychiatric conferences (where the omnipresence of pharmaceutical loot startles the naive outsider). It makes psychiatric careers, and many of those whose careers it fosters become shills for their paymasters, zealously promoting lucrative off-label uses for drugs whose initial approval for prescription was awarded on quite other grounds. It ensures that when scandals surface universities will mainly turn a blind eye to the transgressions of those members of their staff who engage in these unethical practices. And it controls psychiatric knowledge in multiple ways. Its ghostwriters produce peer-reviewed "science" that surfaces in even the most prestigious journals, with the most eminent names in the field collaborating in the deception. Researchers sign confidentiality agreements, and inconvenient data never see the light of day. The very categories within which we think about cognitive and emotional troubles are manipulated and transformed to match the requirements of the psychiatric marketplace. Side-effects, even profound, permanent, perhaps fatal side-effects, are ignored or minimised. Fines may be levied when somnolent regulators are finally prompted into action, or damages paid where aggressive class action lawyers force hitherto suppressed findings into the public arena, but the profits already booked far exceed these costs of doing business. For a historian of psychiatry to live through such revolutionary times is remarkable indeed.

Wow. Sounds like an interesting piece. They would never print it, surely, in a comparable American journal, and I say that with regret. I look forward to Daniel Carlat's forthcoming book -- apparently he will argue much the same and propose a new training process for psychiatrists that focuses on empirically supported talk therapies. The way it stands now, a psychiatrist has little training in therapies that work, mental illness assessment or research design. Their time is largely spent learning about medicine in general, then following around other psychiatrists to learn about mental illness. As a result, when it comes to non-drug approaches, you tend to see a hodgepodge of psychoanalytic and supportive therapy approaches, if anything.
Heaven help us. I would like to say, also with regret and with considerable anger, that the DSM-5 Task Force of the American Psychiatric Association, has links to their "APA DSM-V Task Force Member Disclosure Report" buried a level down on their website. (I don't see a doctor without one although there might be one.) DMV-5 is in the works and will affect the lives of those diagnosed with mental illness for the next decade.

text: Can DC still QB this team? With all the trade talks, the suposedly "team view" expressed by Dunta Robinson, Patrick Ramsey and the Anti Carr fan base...... Can Kubiak turn around and let Carr captain this ship? What do you guys think? . . . IMHO, No chance....... I am very worried though with the actions weve taken in FA so far. . . . I've seen Patrick play and he is simply horrid. I'd take Sage over him. BQ better be our #1. As for Carr, he will be traded to a much more ideal situation than Houston. Lets hope. We've heard everybody's opinion about this situation, from his team mates, the coaches, the media and the fans. Well everybody, but David. Sad situation......... I hope the FO stops trying to be so greedy and try to get a 3rd rounder for Carr as he does carry a large contract. Just take a 5th or a 6th and get it over with.

Manager Guide: "Bounce action notification"
Manager Guide: "Bounce action notification"
Mailman will stop sending mail to addresses that exceed a certain number of "bounces" (returned mail errors) within a certain period of time. There is some forgiveness built into this system to allow for things like full mailboxes or temporary server outages, so a "bounce action notification" (where Mailman sets an address to "nomail") usually means that the address in question is no good.
See http://lists.uua.org/mailman/admin/listname/bounce ("Bounce processing") for more information. The default settings on this page should be fine.

Bulls shortstop Diaz won't be back
Junior shortstop Walter Diaz, the Miami transfer who led USF with a .339 batting average this season, won't be back for his senior year with the Bulls.
Diaz, drafted in the 48th round by the Cleveland Indians, has gotten a higher offer than anticipated for his draft position and is expected to sign a pro contract later this month, pitching coach Lazer Collazo said Tuesday.
"He's finishing up negotiations with Cleveland and will sign in the next few weeks," Collazo said. "They're not giving him the money that goes with the (48th) round. They're giving him top-10, top-15-round money." (That would suggest a six-figure signing bonus.)
Diaz was a catalyst atop the Bulls' lineup, leading Lelo Prado's first USF team in hitting, runs (56) and stolen bases (15). He committed a team-high 25 errors at shortstop, but would have been one of USF's top returning players for 2008.
Collazo also had news on two more USF recruits who were drafted last month: Miami Springs' Yoanny Barroso, taken in the 46th round by Texas, is going to sign with the Rangers, he said, becoming the fourth USF signee to opt for a pro contract. The good news is that Riverview's Juan "Junior" Carlin, taken in the 29th round by Boston, is in summer school, along with fellow draft picks Derrick Stultz and Stephen Hunt. Check back later for more baseball news on two big bats set to join the Bulls this fall ...

Team Romney trashes Charlie Crist in new film
CNN has some good, early detail from a forthcoming Mitt Romney documentary about how much Charlie Crist ticked off the Mitt Romney campaign with his surprise endorsement of John McCain in 2008. Romney aide Will Ritter vows, "I'll do whatever I can to bury that iguana...For as long as I live. For free."
From CNN:
The documentary captures the exact moment Romney finds out about Crist's endorsement. An anguished-looking Romney, wearing a golf shirt and slumped in his hotel room chair, is informed of the news by phone.
In the next shot, his son Tagg delivers the back story straight to camera.
"Charlie Crist had promised my dad multiple times that he was going to stay neutral," he says. "He talked to many people on our campaign and he promised them all he was going to stay neutral. And now he has announced he is going to endorse John McCain. Now it's two days before the election. This is a big deal. It's a tight race, and it's probably enough to tip it in McCain's favor."
Romney complains that Crist lacked the courtesy just to call and offer a heads up.
"You do something like this, you call and say, 'Look I made a decision," Romney says. "By the way, we have all talked to him and we said, are you going to endorse somebody? And he said no."...

Sprouts Farmers Market in Westlake Village, Thousand Oaks, Calif., has joined an elite club: It is only the third store in the nation to achieve the Environmental Protection Agency's GreenChill Partnership higher honor, Platinum Level Certification.
Sprouts, which specializes in natural and organic foods at affordable prices, joined the EPA program in 2010 and, since then, eight of its stores have earned GreenChill awards. (GreenChill works with food stores to reduce refrigerant emissions and adopt green refrigeration technologies and practices.) With the construction of its Westlake Village store, the grocer wanted to raise the bar and meet the stringent Platinum standards. The Platinum level of certification requires, among other things, the use of only non-ozone depleting refrigerants, and a storewide annual refrigerant emissions rate of no more than 5%.
"The main goal at Thousand Oaks was to reduce the risk of leaking harmful HFC into the atmosphere, and to reduce the cost of our initial refrigeration charge, said Jerry Stutler, VP construction and facility engineering for Sprouts Farmers Market, Phoenix, which operates some 100 stores throughout Arizona, California, Texas and Colorado.
The company also wanted to reduce its potential exposure to costly catastrophic leaks in its systems.
Sprouts selected Hill Phoenix, Conyers, Ga., to design a system that not only would be eco-friendly and energy-efficient, but also cost-effective to install and maintain. The system also had to reduce the store's use of refrigerants to meet the Platinum certification standards.
In collaboration with Sprouts' construction and facilities engineering team, Hill Phoenix designed and manufactured an innovative new refrigeration system that met Sprouts' criteria. Installed in April, the system uses CO2, considered a natural refrigerant with very low global warming potential, as a coolant.
"Before we got involved with GreenChill, we were averaging about 2,000 lbs. of refrigerant in our system," Stutler said. "We reduced that (amount) by about 60% to 65% with our stores that are GreenChill Gold certified. But this new CO2 design yields an even more significant reduction in HFCs."
The new solution features a full CO2 cascade system for both low-temperature and medium-temperature applications (the Second Nature MT2LX). It is made up of two independent refrigerant systems that share a common cascade heat exchanger. The upper-cascade system is a reduced charge HFC system that cools the CO2 in the lower-cascade.
The advantages of a cascade system include reduction in the refrigerant charge and a reduced carbon footprint. And since the HFC is confined to the primary system located in the machine room, the total refrigerant charge and the potential for leaks are both greatly reduced.
According to Stutler, it's not easy to put a dollar value on the potential payback for the Second Nature system.
"If we had a catastrophic leak in our old system, we could have leaked 2,000 lbs. of refrigerant — multiply that by $10 per pound to recharge the system," he said. "With today's system, we only have the potential to leak 235 lbs. of refrigerant."
Stutler added: "Certainly, we're hoping to save money over the years. But how do you put a dollar amount on the value of being green, reducing your carbon footprint and improving the overall system performance?"

By Jen Vafidis, Editorial Assistant
For a week, a Florida pastor's threat to burn copies of the Koran to mark the most recent anniversary of September 11 had an almost disastrous momentum. Before he eventually acquiesced, Pastor Terry Jones provoked a hot-blooded global response. Protests in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Indonesia, not to mention an insinuating statement from Hezbollah, gave off the persistent impression of danger. One of the pastor's many vocal critics was President Goodluck Jonathan in Nigeria, a country plagued with violent in-fighting between Christians and Muslims. In a Facebook post the President condemned Jones' plans and implored him to be "mindful of the Golden Rule taught by Jesus Christ: Do unto others as you would want others to do unto you." In response to Jones' accusation that the Koran was "filled with lies," President Jonathan fit a universal ethic (one shared by the Koran, no less) into a framework Jones would embrace, if he were to hear of it at all. The rhetorical move echoed the countless times this ethical standard has been used to teach empathy, whether by a mother witnessing a child pulling another child's hair or by a politician (JFK speaking about segregation comes to mind) struggling for simplicity in moments of ambiguity.
This whole debacle made me think of an age-old question: how do we know what Jesus actually said? Feeling woefully ignorant of the specific origins of the Golden Rule in Christianity, I did some research. I discovered that the translation of "Do unto others…" can be found in the King James bible's version of Matthew's account of Sermon on the Mount. In reading about Matthew and asking more questions, I stumbled upon a common "problem" in New Testament scholarship, one which academics have been trying to explain for centuries, and I have since been stuck in the labyrinthine field of biblical studies.
Matthew's is a synoptic gospel, so called because Matthew describes events that can be "seen together" with the events in the book of Mark and the book of Luke. Due to the repetitions of certain words, events, and parables in these three gospels, New Testament scholars have dubbed the relationship between Mark, Matthew, and Luke as "the synoptic problem." As Stephen Carlson puts it, the synoptic problem is important because "one's solution to the synoptic problem will influence one's exegesis, redaction criticism, and form criticism of the gospels as well as affect the quest for the historical Jesus, early church history, and even the text of the gospels." How one reads these gospels shapes all of one's historical understanding of Jesus Christ; so no pressure for the uninitiated like me.
At the risk of generalizing to a callous extent, I will say this: the synoptic problem can be introduced with a set of simple, albeit indefatigable, questions. For starters, who copied whom? How did these evangelists come across their information? Is there a way to chart the development of these gospels, to find a genealogy of their words? If two out of three agree that a set of specific phrases were said at a specific time, then is that the traditional account of what happened? (Here it is important to remind ourselves that "traditional" does not automatically mean "factual"; whether the bible is history or literature is a whole other set of questions, one that I foolishly tried and promptly failed to summarize.) How can one reconcile the three, in all their agreements and disagreements, to form a consensus?
These questions have many answers, more than I can possibly cover in a simple blog post. So here's a start: New Testament Gateway has a rudimentary introduction to the many theoretical solutions to the synoptic problem, and Thomas Longstaff and Page Thomas have put together a comprehensive and wide-reaching bibliography of central scholarship dating from 1716 to 1988. A very helpful (and color-coded) diagram can be found in Allan Barr's A Diagram of Synoptic Relationships, which charts "agreement" and editorial decisions between the three works (a goldmine for statistics nerds and linguistic geeks alike). Other scholars – most recently Paul Hoffmann, Thomas Hieke, and Ulrich Bauer – have charted the repetition of certain phrases and words, in order to trace the similarities and build a concordance to the Bible.
More detailed sources and citations are helpfully annotated in John Kloppenborg's OBO entry on the synoptic problem, and for further reading about individual gospels, the OBO entries on Mark and Matthew provide substantial overviews of the scholarship on each.
