Old Capitol Museum of Mississippi History

Old Capitol Museum, 100 South State Street, Jackson, MS 39201, USA

This building was the site of Mississippi's Secession Convention, January 1861. It continued as the seat of state government until May 1863, when it was evacuated before the Battle of Jackson and later vandalized by Federal troops. For the remainder of the War, it remained in Confederate hands, although legislative and state offices were removed to Macon. In October of 1864 it served as a Confederate military headquarters.

The Chief has had a rough transition, bless his heart.

He loves his sister Ever, loves holding her and laughing at her little newborn scrunchy face. But he could certainly do without the part where I have to sit on the couch and feed her making me entirely immobile for periods of time. That part makes him all sorts of grumpy, yes sir. He's started to run into the arms of "Woody-Buzz" who generously take him into their world of talking toys and mean kids named Sid.

("You mean that happy child?" "That ain't no happy child.")

It is getting better however and every day we start to see him come out of the fog of it all. I guess I am too, coming out of the fog, and I keep telling myself to go easy about it. My previous standards of motherhood and housekeeping are changing to fit this lifestyle. Though sometimes when I am feeding Ever I have to try really hard not to make mental lists of every observation:

That painting is too high on the wall.

The table needs to be dusted.

Cut The Chief's toenails.

Cut my toenails.

How many times has The Chief watched Woody-Buzz today?

It doesn't take long before my blood pressure reminds me what is important right now is my present presence. To just be here, in the this game, raising my family and loving my husband. Everything else--the repeated fluffing of the pillows--is just that, fluffing.

So tonight when Ever was sleeping and Chup was downstairs working, The Chief and I went to swing outside on the play set. He is the kind of boy who likes you to push him really high. I kept thinking, he's not even two and yet he has this bravery about his body. He has no fear of climbing, sliding or jumping off/on anything. One day we turned around and he was scaling up a ten foot ladder on to our roof.

As I was pushing him in the swing he was laughing because I'd let him swing back and kick me--and for a moment I remembered my life before all of this transition came knocking. And when swinging got old we kicked balls against the back fence--and when one went over the fence into our neighbor's yard I lowered him over and he retrieved it. And when that got old we heard Ever crying from inside.

I know it's been rough this past month on the boy. There have been times when I wished for a switch that could fast forward this part. But there is no doubt about it, I love his guts.

To infinity, and beyond.

Ahead of Girls Music event...
Ashley Beedle

Dance music's wheel of fortune, the binary relationship between techno and house is moving again.

House is once again in the ascendancy, with a new generation of producers fusing Chicago textures to bass weight. Thankfully, scene forefathers such as Ashley Beedle are still on hand to keep things real. First sitting behind a pair of Technics in the mid 80s, Ashley Beedle came of age during Acid House.

When so many of that generation turned towards Hardcore, though, the Birmingham born maverick began soaking up the sounds which first inspired house music. Absorbing rare disco and left field re-edits, the subsequent decades would see the DJ tour the world and notch up several hit singles as part of the X-Press 2 project.

Still flying the flag for breaking house sounds, Ashley Beedle recently hooked up with Toddla T's imprint Girls Music. New 'Yardism Vol. 1' EP is the first fruit of this partnership. Out now, it finds Ashley Beedle blazing through four tracks of scorched, sunshine driven house music with plenty of nods towards his illustrious heritage.

Set to play a top secret Girls Music party next Friday (November 30th) Ashley Beedle has kindly supplied us with an exclusive DJ mix. Featuring plenty of party favourites alongside some rare cuts, this is the perfect way to start your Friday.

Listen to it now... Grab it HERE.

Right click, 'Save As...'

- - -

Here's a preview of the upcoming Girls Music party...

Friday 30th November sees Radio 1’s Toddla T host a showcase from his label, Girls Music, which will be taking place at undisclosed location. Toddla T’s label has released party-themed cuts from Roska, Lady Chann and DJ Q and is yet another platform for him to manifest his passion for music and nurture new and exciting talents. Joining him on the night will be Southern Fried Records house extraordinaire’s The 2 Bears (comprised of Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard and Raf Rundell) hot off the back of their 2 Bears 1 Love compilation whilst the resurgent and multi-faceted legend Ashley Beedle will be on hand to preview some forthcoming material from his Modern Artifacts and Out Hear Audio labels. Another one of Sheffield’s contributions to 90s electronic music will be making an appearance when Toddla T’s hometown heroes Forgemasters play a live set.  Label-regular Roses Gabor will be on PA duties with some assistance from her DJ Martelo and recent Girls Music signee Walter Ego is set to deliver an enthralling bass-focused set.

The second room is curated by rising promotion outfit Church, who have been setting Elephant & Castle’s beloved Corsica Studios alight with their trailblazing parties that focus on genres below the 130BPM mark – this time is no different. They’ve enlisted the services of techno-stalwart Paul Woolford ,who has been keen to dabble in more bass-led material as direct effect of his appreciation of the UK’s hybrid exploits of recent years. He will be joined by Hypercolour’s house and garage maestro Huxley, the prolific XXXY and one of techno’s rising stars -Landol Kal. Not forgetting Church co-founder Seb Wildblood and resident Apes who are well-versed in setting the vibe for the loyal Church following.

PARIS: Stylish, Practical Tips For Your Trip Including Where to Eat and Stay

Getting Around
  • Your number one mode of transportation will be your feet!  Don't wear uncomfortable or new (I've made that mistake) shoes.  Fortunately, lots of Parisians are running around in these...
Wear socks...its a marathon.  Our trackers said we had some 11 and 12 mile days.

 New Balance were in style when we lived there
and they still are popular.

It was cold, so I wore skinny jeans and broken in boots and socks...no blisters!

  • Metro  It's relatively easy to navigate... buy a carnet (packet of 10 for a better deal)...don't throw away your ticket until you walk through the gate at your destination stop.  Our son, Tommy did when he was younger and we had to pay an on the spot fine.  Try this I-Tunes App.

  • Uber  Yes, we had good luck with it in Paris!

  • Hotels:  Check out Tablet Hotels.  For smaller, boutique hotels, we like Hotel La Voisier in our old neighborhood (8th arrondissement).  And just recently, we stayed at the Hotel Baltimore (16th arrondissement).  Ask if breakfast is included...nice start to the day.
We got to Hotel Baltimore early straight from the U.S. and look what they served us in the lobby while we waited.
Don't you love ironed sheets?

  • Apartments to Rent.  We have had good luck with Haven In Paris.  We stayed here before.  This one comes with a great kitchen and Howard shopped at his favorite markets in our old neighborhood.  My sister said that his dinner was the best she had in Paris.

Here are a few places that we always like to visit including one new one...
  • Del Papa On Saint Honoré...good Italian food...hey, why not?  Unpretentious and reliable.
  • La Bourse et La Vie  I read about this restaurant on David Leibovitz's blog (follow him if you like Paris).  It starts off with a warm popover.
      David said to order the pot roast...so I did.  Simple French and delicious.
  • Relais Entrecote  There are a few and we normally go to the one on Marbeuf.  Go early and wait in line.  Good value.  Wow...that Bernaise sauce!   Just salad, steak and fries.  Also dessert, but we never seem to have room for it!

I could go on but you will discover and/or already have your own favorite places!

  • Printemps Maison Go here to the roof top café for a panoramic view of Paris (much less expensive than the Mandarin Oriental :)  Truly spectacular.
Speaking of shopping...remember to check out my home shopping guide in Paris.

I have to say that while we travelled in Europe, terrorism was at the back of my mind, especially when we were in crowds.  But we cannot let them make us cower.  Paris and Belgium are beautiful places to experience.

Participating in the Spring Break Link Party.

  1. Dear Maryann,
    Thank you for all of the great tips and I am so thrilled that you spent your anniversary in Paris!!

    Featuring Artist Scott McBee

    1. A perfect spot for an anniversary, Karen. So romantic.

  2. Maryann, I love all of your suggestions! I have been to all of the above and enjoyed them all. This is a great list for anyone that has been or is going to Paris!

    Happy Easter.

  3. Lovely pictures and great advice. I have never been to Paris, but it's on my list. We did, however, just get back from London and my broken-in black boots like yours were a lifesaver. We walked our legs off!

    1. I know...so good to have comfortable shoes, Julie! Ha! But you want to look good, too. :)

  4. I dream of visiting Paris once again. Thank you for these travel tips and you're right, we cannot let the bad people of the world take our freedom away.

  5. We ate at Relais Entrecote, too. Loved it. There's one in NYC, too! Loved our apartment/room at A Room in Paris near Gare du Nord. Amazing breakfasts. Your post makes me miss Paris.

  6. Such a great and informative post. You are so right about the comfy shoes, its a walking city and that is really the only way to adsorb all that makes it the grand city it is. It is has been at least 5 years since we were there and this post has me longing to go back in the worst way. Nothing like it.....Happy Anniversary!

  7. Oh how I love Paris! I studied in Tours in college, and hadn't been back to Paris until 5 years ago. My latest visit, I was struck how easy it is to get around and how walkable it is! I hope I will be able to get back before five more years go by! Thanks for your recs - I'd love for a chance to use them!!!

  8. I wish I had all these tips before my last trip. Just going to have to go again..... xx Sharon

  9. I love Paris and reading about people's trips. I have quite a few posts myself but its interesting that we all find different little boutiques and restaurants because the city is so big! I found you through Pinecones and Acorns as she featured your post there.

  10. We're going to Paris in the fall, for my 49th birthday - thanks so much for sharing your recommendations, it's our first trip there, and while I am confident we can find our away around the usual tourist venues, I want the in between times to be "real". So glad to have the benefit of others experience!

  11. These are really great tips, Mary Ann! I wish I were planning a trip there in the near future. I have only visited Paris once with a bunch of friends when we were in our 20s. We stayed in a small hotel in the French Quarter and I do remember walking a lot! Such a beautiful city and what a perfect place to spend your anniversary! Thank you so much for linking up to my first ever link party!

  12. I loved our trip to Paris years ago, we stayed in a small boutique hotel and had the top floor veranda all to ourselves. Love the food, the coffee, and the people. Wonderful trip.

It's SO nice to hear from you!

10 Questions to ask before you buy PC Games

You’re tired of playing Team Fortress 2. Endwar has been delayed and you don’t like zombies. You still don’t own a machine that will run Crysis. Your new year’s resolution of 1080p is threatened by a world economic downturn. You are faced with having to frag more with less. You may be able to purchase only one game. What will it be? Better take off that headset and put on your consumer hat for a sec.

The Fun Part: Playing PC Games

1. How old are the kids?

“Daddy, can I play?” Everything in society must be done “for the children.” This rule applies to PC game consumers, not just politicians. If you’re a parent who can’t say no, check the ESRB rating on the game’s box or online for content involving violence, sexual themes, language, etc. Now let’s move on.

 2. Does the game meet the system requirements?

 Perhaps the most important consideration before purchasing a PC game is deciding how well, if at all, it will perform on the gamer’s machine. This subject should be a no-brainer, but often gamers get so excited by the colorful graphics on the package that they overlook the fine print. Most games list a “minimum” and a “recommended” system. The more a system exceeds the minimum machine required to play a game, the better. A machine at or above the recommended requirements will allow a player to maximize the gaming experience with the highest speed and graphical detail.

3. What are the reviewers saying?

Before buying a PC game, it’s best to find out the impressions from others who have experienced the game. If for no other reason than fear of reader ridicule, most game reviewers will not put their names on an article unless they have thoroughly scoured the game for both its strengths and weaknesses. Make sure that the reviewer looks critically at gameplay, graphics, sound, and multiplay. Screenshots, especially if not resized, often speak louder than the review itself. Beware of reviews that spend lots of time discussing how wonderful the introductory video is.

4. Is a demo available?

Never buy a game without first downloading the demo from the developer or publisher’s website. Demos are always free and give the consumer a taste of the game’s features. A publisher will want to show off just enough of a game’s prowess to make people want the full version. A bad demo can be permanently removed from a gamer’s machine and obliterated from his mind forever with virtually no risk.

5. What features does the game have?

A PC game’s developer and publisher normally tout the key features of the product on their websites. A new title should have at least the standard features as well as a few unique ones. Try to compare a game’s features to those of other games in the same genre. First person shooters seem to struggle with the ability to come up with something different than plain run and shoot deathmatch.

6. Does the game have multiplayer support?

The multiplayer feature is not mentioned on the box. I’m sure the game supports multiplay, the publishers just forgot to mention it. Didn’t they? Please tell me they forgot! Please!

You probably have some friends who are strictly single player types and others who are online players. Feel sorry for both. Maximize the fun by taking what you learn in single play to the multiplay milieu where you build competitive skills with others. The multiplayer aspect adds longevity to a game. There will probably be hundreds of people still deathmatching on Half-Life 2 servers a decade after the popular first person shooter was released. Sadly, some games either don’t offer Internet play or offer a package that is unplayable over the net.

7. Did you check the return policy?

Most retailers don’t like accepting returns of opened software. Downloadable services like Steam may even cancel your account and cause you to lose all games you’ve purchased. If you don’t want to be laughed out of the store, check the retailer’s return policy before doing business with them. Buy only from stores that allow exchanges of opened software or who issue credit for returned software. You may be willing to pay more if you have the safety net of a return policy.

8. How many clichés did you spot?

Whether you find yourself at a software store or a voting booth, the most important point in cutting through cliché is look at an organization’s reputation for telling the truth. Here are some classic eyebrow raisers:

  • “Jaw-dropping graphics”
  • “Unparalleled realism”
  • The (insert weapon name) is “powerful” or “lethal”
  • The new terrain engine has been “built completely from the ground up”
  • “The campaign is the heart of the game” (= no multiplayer)

9. Is it in the “bargain bin?”

How about 2 for 1 deals? Rarely do you get two truly good pc games for one price. Heck, rarely do you get one truly good PC game for the price. Ask yourself what the reason for the discount offering is. In other words, is the store overstocked or is the game in the clearance section because it didn’t sell well. Sometimes you can find two good classic games for a good price, if nostalgia is your interest.

10. Is…was it vaporware?

The game developer has been working on this much-anticipated sequel for three years. Doesn’t this portend a high quality title when released?

Developers who make us sit through years of hype before releasing their title can rarely fulfill our hopes. Too often these long awaited and much talked about revolutionary titles don’t meet expectations or disappear in a disappointing cloud of vaporware. The degree to which game-related software and hardware technology changes in just one year often sends developers back to the drawing board. Then there’s the annual graphics card turnover and oh, don’t forget Moore’s law. In short, if it’s been hyped over the years, take an extra close look before buying.

Finally, it’s tough, but wait. If you read reviews that report problems with the PC game you want, give it some time. When the fix comes, check the gaming forums and see if it worked. It’s always good to let a game circulate for at least a little while before buying.

    errr… how does that relate to webmasters, I don’t know…

  2. As soon as this dissertation’s done and I’m done a few months of teaching, I’m getting something with about 8 gigs of RAM and a 3 Ghz processor. I want to compete at Starcraft and I want Steam.

    And I don’t need to play Crisis. The real issue is how much of one’s gaming budget is PC and how much is console.

  3. Emory Rowland

    I like gaming on the PC because I’m partial to first person shooters and the controls are tighter. I think consoles may be a bit unwieldy for FPS games. A good graphics card can certainly be a budget buster :(

Galaxy Note 7 iris scanner rumours resurface

Galaxy Note 7 iris scanner rumours resurface

Rumours have suggested that Samsung’s upcoming device will be called the Galaxy Note 7 and it’s expected to feature an iris scanner. Serial tipster Evan Blass has added fuel to those fires in a series of tweets that indicate that the Galaxy Note 7 will be the first Samsung device available to consumers to sport an iris scanner.

In the last few days, reports from Korea said that Patron would be supplying iris camera modules to Samsung. It was believed that Patron won the tender to supply Samsung with a quantity of biometric modules for the rumoured Galaxy Note 7.

Blass also tweeted specs of the upcoming device. He says that it will feature a 5.7-inch QHD Super Amoled display, a 12-megapixel rear camera with dual-pixel phase detection autofocus (PDAF) and a 5-megapixel front camera. He also claims that it will be IP68 certified for water and dust resistance.

It’s believed that Samsung could host an event as early as August 2 to announce this new device.

Atmospheric Rivers Grow, Causing Worse Floods Ahead

By Paul Brown, Climate News Network

LONDON – Heavy and prolonged rainfall will cause both more frequent and more severe flooding across the United Kingdom and the rest of north-west Europe as the atmosphere continues to warm, say British and American scientists.

A study in IOP Publishing’s Environmental Research Letters of what are known as atmospheric rivers pins the blame for the increasing flood risk firmly on man-made climate change and says the same problem will afflict other parts of the planet.

Don’t go out without your umbrella. More downpours are on the way due to larger atmospheric rivers from a warming climate.

Researchers at the University of Reading near London, and the U.S. University of Iowa, describe how atmospheric rivers carry vast amounts of water vapor around the Earth, delivering heavy and prolonged rainfall, particularly to mountainous areas. They were responsible for the protracted winter and summer floods in the UK in 2012, which caused an estimated $1.6 billion in damage.

In a warming world the atmosphere can carry more water and the research showed that the rivers, typically running a kilometer (.62 miles) above the earth, 300 kilometers (186 miles) wide and thousands of kilometers long, would become larger and capable of delivering even bigger quantities of prolonged rainfall.

Longer danger period

An example of their potential danger is the atmospheric river that caused the severe flooding on November 19, 2009 over north-west Britain. As it approached the coast it was transporting a moisture volume 4,500 times the average gauged flow of the river Thames through London.

In California, where atmospheric rivers (ARs) have already been assessed, the climate models predict that the number of years with these features will increase. To discover what could happen in Europe the models were tested against the known flooding events between 1980 and 2005, and the researchers found that they could accurately simulate what actually happened.

This gave them confidence to test what would happen in the future. All the models showed that with more greenhouse gases emitted by humans there would be a doubling of the number of atmospheric rivers later this century compared with the 1980 to 2005 period. Most of these events occur in the winter, but in a warmer world the danger period is extended.

Effects will be widespread

Because of the way the warmer atmosphere is able to carry more water and deliver much higher rainfall totals, the potential for far worse floods from each of these rainfall events is much increased.

The head of the research, Dr. David Lavers, from the department of meteorology at the University of Reading, said: “ARs could become stronger in terms of their moisture transport. In a warming world, atmospheric water vapor content is expected to rise due to an increase in saturation water vapor pressure with air temperature. This is likely to result in increased water vapor transport.”

“The link between ARs and flooding is already well established, so an increase in AR frequency is likely to lead to an increased number of heavy winter rainfall events and floods. More intense ARs are likely to lead to higher rainfall totals, and thus larger flood events.”

The paper points out that while the scientists were specifically looking at the atmospheric rivers that caused heavy rainfall in Europe; these storms affect many temperate regions of the planet. As the atmosphere warms, it is likely that they will increase the risk of flooding elsewhere.

payday loan requirements

Best Payday Loans

Best Payday Loans offer those in short supply of cash the ways to cover necessary expenses and emergency outlays in times of financial distress. They should simply be entered into; however, if a borrower possesses plenty of knowledge regarding their specific terms. Use the tips in this article, and you’ll know whether there is a good deal in front of you, or if you’re going to fall into a dangerous trap.

When considering a cash payday loan, even though it can be tempting be sure not to borrow a lot more than you can afford to pay back. For example, if they allow you to borrow $1000 and place your car as collateral, however you only need $200, borrowing too much can lead to the loss of your automobile if you are struggling to repay the entire loan.

Research various pay day loan companies before purchasing one. There are many different companies around. Some of which can charge you serious premiums, and charges compared to other alternatives. In fact, some may have short term specials, that really make a difference in the total cost. Do your diligence, and make sure you are getting the best selection possible.

When considering obtaining a payday loan, make sure to understand the repayment method. Sometimes you may ought to send the lender a post dated make sure that they will cash the due date. Other times, you’ll just have to provide them with your bank account information, and they’ll automatically deduct your payment from your account.

Consider payday lenders with direct deposit. You’ll get your money within a working day. This is the handiest and safe strategy for obtaining the money.

Sometimes we can all work with a little help financially. If you find yourself with a financial problem, and also you don’t know where you can turn, you can obtain a payday loan. A pay day loan is a short-term loan that you can receive quickly. There is a bit more involved, that tips will assist you to understand further about what these loans are about.

Payday loan companies work around the laws to charge you the highest amount. These loans cost a degree (say $15 per $100 lent), which are just interest disguised as fees. As a result, a loan can accrue around ten times a person’s eye rate of an standard loan.

Beware of falling into a trap with payday cash advances. In theory, you’d probably pay the loan in one to two weeks, then proceed with your life. In reality, however, many individuals cannot afford to settle the loan, along with the balance keeps taking this lightly to their next paycheck, accumulating huge amounts of interest through the process. In this case, many people get into the career where they are able to never afford to settle the loan.

Whenever you are submitting an application for any payday loan, always look for some sort of writing saying your information will not be sold or shared with anyone. Some payday lending sites can give important information away for example your address, ss #, etc. so ensure you avoid these lenders.

If you are considering receiving a payday loan, make certain you have a want to get it repaid right away. The loan company will offer to “help you” and extend your loan, if you fail to pay it off straight away. This extension costs that you simply fee, plus additional interest, therefore it does nothing positive for you. However, it earns the money company a nice profit.

This part of Wells Fargo's business is taking off

Wells Fargo
Adam Jeffery | CNBC

More than five years after Wells Fargo purchased Wachovia at the height of the financial crisis, one of its key businesses—investment banking—is finally beginning to pay off.

Industry league tables— generally treated as scorecards ranking banks based on the number and volume of deals they did—showed the San Francisco-based company creeping into the top 10 for the first time. And Wells is winning, according to CEO John Stumpf, by taking business away from its rivals.

"We have grown market share," he said at a December industry conference, "from 4.1 percent in 2009 (at the Wachovia deal) to 5.7 percent to the first nine months of 2013."

The bank has been stealthily growing its investment banking business as rivals have pulled back. Stumpf would know, because he's been participating firsthand. Bankers say he now, like other chief executives, will make client rounds, visiting with corporate CEOs to tout Wells Fargo's expertise on a certain deal.

That 5.7 percent market share in the U.S. ranks Wells Fargo eighth in overall revenue from investment banking, but its revenue from debt capital markets—issuance of bonds and loans—comes in third, besting peers Citigroup and Morgan Stanley.

The secret sauce may be a strong presence in securitized lending.

The bank has nabbed the No. 1 spot on asset-based lending, ousting Bank of America. A marquee 2013 deal: One such loan for J.C. Penney this spring as it was gasping for capital.

Wells Fargo played coy about investment banking for years: Its earnings reports run into the dozens of pages, but investment banking takes up a matter of paragraphs.

And where rivals break down the dollar values of merger advisory, fixed income trading, equities and other Treasury businesses, Wells Fargo simply lumps it all as "Wholesale Banking."

When I asked one executive what lines of business in the investment bank were responsible for huge jumps in earnings, the person responded: "The normal stuff."

On Jan. 7, it placed a hardly coy full-page ad in the middle of The Wall Street Journal's Money and Investing section, touting its various big-ticket deals last year. (Bookrunning on bonds for Microsoft, Bally and the state of Illinois, for instance.)

Some of that "stuff" is big indeed: A ticket to a spot on an $11.5 billion credit facility and $3.1 billion in bonds supporting the acquisition of H.J. Heinz by Berkshire Hathaway and 3G Capital.

It's been a choppy business—earnings in it aren't always up each quarter—but year over year, growth has steadily remained in the 30 percent range.

Investment banking has been a bright spot for a company that, as the nation's largest mortgage provider, could benefit from diversification as housing activity slows.

Calculating the Cost of Social Media

Calculating the Cost of Social Media by Matt Owen for eConsultantcy:  Digital Marketers United.  For the full article, please click here.

Here's the gist:

Here are four main areas you’ll need to consider:
  • Staff costs

Your costs need to include your marketer’s salaries. If you don’t have a dedicated social media campaign manager then you also need to work out the amount of time they are spending on that campaign.
How many man-hours a day does it actually take to manage, maintain and report your social media presence?
  • External fees

Do you outsource all or part of your social media campaign? You’ll need a detailed breakdown of billing. How much were you charged, and how was it calculated?
Agencies will have different rates for strategy, maintenance and time expended on execution. You’ll also need to work out if this is an ongoing cost and how that affects the value you’re receiving.
  • Advertising

There’s more to running successful campaigns than simply setting up and maintaining a presence on a social network.
You’ll also need to advertise that presence through both in-network and external ads (Certainly you can trim costs here by adding follow buttons to your email signatures, but remember to factor in the time your coders spend on small tasks like that).
This is the most obvious spend so hopefully you’ll already be tracking it closely, but there’s a need to recognize exactly how it factors into wider costs.
How much time is your web manager spending setting up targeted Facebook ads for example?
  • Other

There’s also a wealth of other social media specific software and equipment available. Many basic tools are available free, but if you need more in-depth tracking (and you do) then costs can quickly escalate.
You’ll be facing technical and creative costs and unlike many offline campaigns, these can run continuously.
These points should cover the basics, but it’s also worth considering the unique variables generated by your business and organizational structure. Some businesses will be able to benefit from sunk costs.
It’s certainly possible that you may have extra staff on hand and want to increase efficiency there by having them manage your social media day-o-day.
For larger groups there’s also the question of underspend. Does your budget have enough flexibility at the end of the year to facilitate extra social involvement?
These factors will vary from business to business, but before you begin hurling cash at social media its worth trimming costs by considering if you have content that can be repurposed, existing online brand assets or campaigns in other channels that would benefit from a social media boost.

Lau Helps Cobras Overthrow Royals, 71-68

Lau Helps Cobras Overthrow Royals, 71-68

HARTSVILLE, SC – Junior Amber Lau (Mt. Wolfe, Pa.) racked up 37 points for the Cobras as they were able to hold off the Royals of Queens University of Charlotte, 71-68.

The first half started quick for Coker as they took a 12-4 lead, but the Royals were able to hold the Cobras to just 29 points in the first half, taking a 38-29 lead into halftime.

Coker's offense found its groove in the second, as Coker outscored the Royals 42-30.  Lau scored 23 of her 37 in the second half to lead the Cobras to victory.

In addition to Lau's 37, Kelley Godbout (Matthews, N.C.) had eight points. Three different Cobras dished out four assists a piece including, senior Jasmine Alston (Sumter, S.C.), freshman Heidrun Kristmundsdottir (Fludir, Iceland), and freshman Hailey Yohn (Mathews, N.C.).  Junior Jessica Cohen (Ladsen, S.C.) was the leading rebounder with nine.

Coker's record improved to 10-6 in conference play. The win clinched the #3 seed in the East Division for the Cobras. The Cobras still have one more regular season game left. Their next game will be on Friday, February 24, at Pfeiffer. Tip-off is scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

Regardless of the outcome of their final game on Friday the Cobras will travel to North Greenville University on Monday for the opening round of the Conference Carolinas Women's Basketball Tournament.

McDonald's Player of the Game- Amber Lau

Lau scored a career high 37 points in the Cobras win.

The McDonald's Player of the Game is presented by the Hartsville McDonald's and is given to the most outstanding performer during each Coker College home athletic event.

Three men, currently incarcerated at the Eastern New York Correctional Facility for violent crimes, recently took the stage for an organized formal debate against three undergraduates from Harvard University. In a battle that most would expect to be one-sided (in favour of the students of one of America’s most prestigious post-secondary institutions), onlookers were shocked by what they instead saw and heard.

The three inmates — Carl Snyder, Carlos Polanco, and Dyjuan Tatro — outdueled their opponents quite handily. One of the event’s judges, Mary Nugent, revealed that though both sides did an admirable job in the debate, the group from Harvard failed to cover parts of the debate that the prisoners effectively addressed.

This isn’t the first time that the prison debate team has defied odds, having beaten the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York in the spring of 2014, as well as a nationally ranked team from the University of Vermont later that year.

What makes the accomplishment even more impressive is that the inmates are not given internet access in preparation for the competition. The group must rely solely upon books and articles, which they must request and often have to wait weeks before receiving.

While some may argue that, given their circumstance, the inmates have nothing but time to prepare for the competition, it is nevertheless hard to believe that their success does not shatter most of our preconceived notions about them. I personally loved reading this story, since it reminded me not to let someone’s past dictate how I feel about them in the present. We all have the power to completely transform ourselves at any given point in our life.

The three inmates are a part of the Bard Prison Initiative, which started in 2001 with the intention of giving liberal arts educations to motivated inmates. What is particularly impressive about the initiative is that, according to program leaders, out of the over 300 alumni less than 2% returned to prison within 3 years.

Looks on Campus: Marco - UNLV

Publish date:
Social count:

It's a funny thing, but students at UNLV tend to dress like the weather. When it's sunny and warm, bright colors abound. When it's cold and dreary, students match the gray clouds and dress in dark and neutral colors.

Marco is in my British Literature lecture, and on one particularly dreary day, I noticed that his monochromatic outfit stood out from the rest of the darkly-clad class because of his self-assurance and distinct personal style. Marco's all-black outfit combines elements of the dapperMad Men-era with punk and Gothic-inspired styles, creating one uniform look.

Marco 101

Student fashion at the university of nevada las vegas

Name: Marco

School: UNLV

Year: Senior

Major: English

Let's Talk Fashion

Who or what inspires your style? "I really like Mad Men and the dapper style. Any classic look. I love UK style, too. British GQ is way better than the American GQ. I think British style is definitely more classy as opposed to American style, but American style does have a lot of unique things that I like about it too. I really like American graphic t-shirts."

How would you describe your own sense of style? "Definitely black. I just love black. Everything has to be black, but not all the time. I like grey, white… I never dress colorfully unless it's summer. [Once the weather gets nice,] then I'll start wearing some color."

Do you have any fashion advice for other students? "I think the best advice I give people is just layer. That's all it is! Just put something else on, add to it, because I see people wearing something plain: jeans, shoes, shirt, when you could throw a jacket over it. Throw on an accessory, a hat or beanie, a necklace. Anything could add to the look. It doesn't have to be a brand. You can get stuff from Goodwill and it's great because you can get all kinds of styles and bring them together in one cohesive look."

What do you do for fun? Do you have any hobbies or interests that influence the way you dress? "I think tattoo culture definitely influenced my style. I'm definitely into Gothic art, Gothic styles, dark colors… Obviously music. I'm in a band. I play rock music so I'm definitely into punk rock and wearing tight jeans and boots and that whole deal. And I love literature, too."

Elements of Marco's Outfit

1. Classically Styled Hair

Loc marco hair aviators

A hairstyle can be a wonderful form of self-expression. Marco is able to take inspiration from the dapper, gentlemanly styles prevalent in Mad Men to display his affinity for a classic aesthetic by greasing his hair, then combing it back with a defined side part. Marco also uses his facial hair as an accessory - he shared that he styles it differently, depending on his mood and outfit.

2. Letterman Jacket

Loc marco letterman jacket

Marco's black AllSaints jacket has a vintage Letterman structure, once again taking inspiration from classic styles. The black fabric adds intensity to the monochromatic theme while adding a layer to dress up his graphic t-shirt and jeans.

3. Zip-Up Leather Boots

Loc marco boots

Marco's leather boots, also from AllSaints, do an amazing job of giving his outfit a hint of punk rock style. The exposed zipper creates interesting contrast next to the leather lacing up the side of the boots, which we can see beneath his cuffed black jeans. By rolling his hems, Marco maintains his classic style while showing off his edgy footwear.

What do you think?

Do you like Marco's outfit? Have you ever worn a monochromatic outfit? Marco loves black -- what color do you wear the most? How do you make your hair part of your style? Let us know in the comments below!

A Fort Collins couple hopes to keep children safe, one faucet at a time.

Larry and Renee Holmes recently founded SafeHolmes, a company that seeks to create family-friendly solutions to safety, after their son turned on a faucet to scalding water and almost burned himself. Now they’re seeking community support in a $50,000 fundraising campaign to bring one of their safety products to the market.

The Safety Restraint Handle intends to make household faucets child-safe by keeping children from turning on a faucet handle, thus preventing the potential for burns, drowning and house flooding, according to a release by the family.

The faucet will be offered at $19.95 if the family can raise $50,000 in startup funds through an Indiegogo crowdfunding campaign. Funds raised will cover manufacturing fees, aluminum or steel mold fees, shipping fees, ink and paper for instructions, utility patent and attorney fees and financial consulting.

The family raised $600 as of 11 a.m. Aug. 25. The campaign will close on Sept. 21. Visit http://noconow.co/faucet for more information.

With the No. 3 overall pick in the MLB draft, the Rockies selected pitcher Jonathan Gray on Thursday.

The Rockies selected Oklahoma right-handed pitcher Jonathan Gray with the No. 3 pick in the Major League Baseball draft Thursday.

In 16 starts for the Sooners this season, the 21-year-old Gray is 10-2 with a 1.59 ERA, 22 walks and 138 strikeouts in 119 innings pitched. Oklahoma (43-19) plays this weekend at Louisiana State in a super regional, with a berth in the College World Series on the line.

Gray (6-foot-4 and 239 pounds) was a unanimous all-Big 12 Conference selection this season.

"Jonathan has a power arm and he is a great competitor," Rockies vice president of scouting Bill Schmidt said in a news release. "Jonathan is a good kid who we feel has a chance to be a quality starting major-league pitcher."

With the third pick in the second round, the Rockies selected third baseman Ryan McMahon, who just graduated from Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Calif. With the 70th pick overall (which came in the competitive balance Round B), Colorado drafted Alex Balog, a right-handed pitcher from the University of San Francisco. The junior has a fastball that reaches the low-90s.

McMahon played quarterback at the school, which is known for producing a number of college and NFL quarterbacks, through his junior year but left football as a senior to concentrate on baseball. He has committed to play baseball at USC.

"We feel good about the first day," Rockies vice president of scouting Bill Schmidt said. "We got two big, physical right-handed pitchers and an athlete at third base.

"Jonathan Gray probably is the hardest thrower we've ever drafted."

Schmidt said he's aware of Gray reaching 101 mph with his fastball.

"We'll evaluate the workload after he's finished pitching in college and determine from that where he'll begin in the organization," Schmidt said. "We were prepared to go with whoever was still available with our first pick."

Gray was selected by the Kansas City Royals in the 13th round of the 2010 draft and by the New York Yankees in the 10th round of the 2011 draft.

Gray transferred from a junior college to Oklahoma for his sophomore season. In two seasons with the Sooners, he is 18-6 with 242 strikeouts and 64 walks in 221 innings pitched.

"I have nothing but love for Colorado," Gray said on a conference call Thursday. "Tulsa (home of the Rockies' Double-A affiliate Drillers) is about 40 minutes from my house."

Gray added: "The more I look at it, the more I look forward to the challenge of pitching at altitude."

Gray tested positive for the medication Adderall during the predraft drug testing earlier this week, according to multiple reports. ESPN reported he did not have a prescription for the drug, which is a mix of two amphetamines and used to treat attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.

"I will talk about it at a later date," Gray said Thursday.

Gray said he almost signed with the Yankees when drafted out of junior college. But he made the decision on his own that he could improve his situation and get better. So he dropped roughly 30 pounds since enrolling at Oklahoma — he was as high as 260 pounds — and he said he's never had any arm problems.

The Rockies also hold a pick in the competitive balance Round B (which is No. 70 overall).

With the No. 1 pick, Houston took Stanford right-handed pitcher Mark Appel, who is a Houston native. The Cubs selected third baseman Kris Bryant, the best power hitter in college baseball out of the University of San Diego, with the second overall pick.

Rounds 1 and 2 were Thursday. Rounds 3-10 are Friday, and rounds 11-40 are Saturday.

CR Sunday Interview: Brandon Graham
posted April 11, 2012

I wasn't sure how best to interview the cartoonist Brandon Graham on the occasion of the collection of his King City series. I hope what we came up with worked out okay: a series of short bursts of questions formulated around five pages from that new volume, three of my selection and two of his. The best thing about that arrangement for me is this means I may get to do a more standard, comprehensive interview down the road. I'm confident that Graham will be around for a while. Everything about him says "lifer" to me, at least if his talent doesn't pull him into some unforeseen direction.

I was lucky enough to spend some time in Graham's company as we were going back and forth on what follows. I was told by someone when Graham left the table that the King City trade had been doing very well at the show (Emerald City). I hope so; I like the book quite a bit, although I wonder from hearing it described if I'm reading the same book everyone else is. Heck, at times I've wondered if I've been reading the same book from one look into it to the next. What I like most about King City, I think, is how consistently Graham works to thwart standard storytelling expectations: it's a mini-symphony of minor-key narrative choices. Forming questions about King City forced me to deal with the book as it is rather than how I imagine it to be. Even then, it'll probably be something else the next time I read it. What's not to like about that?

I tweaked what follows a tiny bit for flow. -- Tom Spurgeon

"I Want A Man Who's As Irresistible As A Pack Of Cigarettes"

TOM SPURGEON: I suppose some general questions are in order. King City isn't your first work, but it's one of those massive, early works that some cartoonists have on their resumes -- I would be greatly surprised if it weren't a touchstone for you, no matter where you go from here. Were you a different cartoonist after you finished than when you started? Are you happy with the work as a cohesive creative effort?

BRANDON GRAHAM: When I started it I had such a feeling of excitement and freedom about what I was doing. Those early pages look a little awkward to me now but I still remember the feeling of just doing what I wanted with no publisher or audience in mind. These days I'm much more fueled off of the idea of who might be reading it.

At the beginning I was just doing what I do and by the time I was half way through I felt like I knew what tricks were expected in the story and now that I've done those I'm at a new place trying to move away from some of them.

I'm really pleased with how the book as a whole came out. I do a lot of stuff with really high hopes for what it'll become. I have a blind faith that in the process of making a story that something will click. A lot of times the stuff I do falls short of the goal, I feel this way about most of my porn comics. With King City, it started out as a mess that I think worked out better than I hoped.

SPURGEON: The format changes involved when the project stopped and started between Tokyopop and Image -- is there any hangover in terms of visual strategies or techniques that you employed that you might not have if you had gone, say, straight to this end result?

GRAHAM: Yeah, I think it worked out for the best. Because of the format changes I was thinking of pages differently at different parts of the book. It helped me switch up my approach.

I wasn't thinking about the format at all for the first 40 pages; I was hand-lettering everything and drawing it without and idea that I'd later add graytones. Then, after that, when I thought it was going to be in a tiny paperback manga format, I would do bigger panels with less going on per page and then I got more dense at the end when I knew it was coming out as issues and I had a limited amount of pages.

SPURGEON: I should also probably ask -- the price point for King City is pretty great considering the number of pages involved and that there's a bit of color in there. Did you want to keep the price low for a specific reason? Is there a model for the kind of presence you want this to have in the marketplace, books that you feel would fit comfortably next to it on the bookshelf?

GRAHAM: The guys at Image had a big hand in pricing it so low and allowing even more options for cool stuff to throw in it -- like the French flaps and the color pages in the back. They've really had my back on all things. It's a long game plan of making something that is giant and cheap and denser than a lot of other comics. Hopefully enough to woo new readers into trying it out and keep them around for my future books.

For the format of it, I was thinking of this one-shot [Katuhiro] Otomo book I have that's the same size as his Akira books. I think a lot about the work Paul Pope was doing in the '90s, there was such an air of excitement to everything he was putting out then. I don't know if the books I'm doing really reflect that. Sometimes putting out comics feels to me like I'm balancing a broom on my hand and running around just to keep it up. That's some of the fun of it, too, just trying to make fun work out of what's thrown at me.

SPURGEON: I really like the way this page employs blacks, and that it's a bit offbeat in terms of structure from a lot of the rest of the book. How deliberate are you with page design, how important is that distinct visual impression to you?

GRAHAM: Thanks; page design and some of the jokes are what takes up the most time for me. Or at least it's the hardest stuff for me to do. Something I really like in drawing is that thing when the black of one shape bleeds into the black of another shape but your eye still makes out what is what. That's like magic to me.

SPURGEON: There's a great mini-sequence here where you isolate an image within a previous image -- the way the feet are placed to show a kind of forward intimacy. For someone that comes across to me as a pretty natural cartoonist you use a lot of what I'd call underlining, calling attention to specific moments in the narrative through repetition or labeling. Do you think that's a fair assessment, and what do you achieve through moments like this one, above, really emphasizing that specific part of the previous picture?

GRAHAM: I like how well comics works for that sort of thing, you can just draw an arrow pointing at something and write "look!" next to it and it doesn't really throw anything off. I don't think of a panel like that as just a close up of another panel, as much as it looks like it. I still think of time progressing on the page. It's a beat of time.

"It's Too Nice Of A Day To Be Acting Like That"

SPURGEON: That top tier, with the slap, how that's timed... it's funny. Do you feel like you always get the sense of timing you want out of sequences? Is that ever difficult for you?

GRAHAM: I think something like that helps if it's not that preplanned and just drawn in the moment or it helps me if I allow myself to change it dramatically If it's not working.

SPURGEON: The way your work is structured puts a lot of attention on the physical staging of certain scenes. In the above, those last two panels, there's a thousand different ways you could portray that, but you choose a way, for instance, that show the two figures in relation to one another. That seems to be something that's concerned people from the mainstream comics tradition maybe more than those in art comics, a reliance on storytelling through the placement of bodies. How much do you key on staging as a part of your storytelling?

GRAHAM: It's really important to me to make it clear to the reader the characters' relationships with each other and where they are. When I was learning the mechanics of comics growing up I was obsessed with establishing shots and keeping everything constant. yeahs later I noticed that a lot of my favorite books were much more casual about that sort of thing, I've tried to ease off a little.

SPURGEON: With a black and white work like this one, where there's a lot of shading, was there a learning curve in terms of how the eye moves according to the different hues involved? Like Mudd on this page, the eye just seizes on him because of the dark clothing, darker skin, dark hair. Is there any danger at all in a figure or object that kind of draws attention on the page? Is Joe foregrounded, for example, in order to give him more visual strength?

GRAHAM: I got a lot more daring with how I was toning the book as I got used to it. For most of the pages It's not something I thought about until I was already toning it.

SPURGEON: I love the cat house... how much time did you spend with the architecture on this book? Because I honestly can't tell if the buildings are fanciful with maybe a few exceptions, or if they're more rigorously designed.

GRAHAM: There wasn't much preplanning on the looks of any buildings. Sometimes I'd use photo reference. I have a couple photography books full of buildings that I would go through when drawing city scenes.

I remember when I was drawing this page I had it just labeled "the cat house" and my pal James Stokoe looked at it and said "man, you're slipping. at least call it something like El Cat-cienda" so I included both names.

"It's Got A High End Mercy Lock With An Eight Dragon Seal"

SPURGEON: So is there really such a thing in your mind as a mercy lock and a dragon seal, or are you just being fanciful there? How much attention do you pay to naming things, and the more writerly aspects of fashioning a story like this one? How did you write?

GRAHAM: The biometric satin stone hand print lock from earlier in the book was based off of a real thing. Whenever I say mercy I'm always think of the French for thank you -- merci. For the dragon seal I was thinking of the six demon bag from the movie Big Trouble In Little China. It's nice when the names I come up with can relate to something else in my life.

SPURGEON: The main reason I fixated on this page is I thought it was a good example of how you occasionally stop the flow of your narrative with a kind of diagram or map or game board or other visual element that's distinctly narrative cartooning. Is that just you having fun? Is something like this diagram and all of the materials named within it a way to stop the narrative for a second? Because I think the flow issue get really interesting when there's suddenly a map, or a game board, or connect-the-dots.

GRAHAM: It's mostly just me having fun when I do this kind of thing. Although, it takes the most time. I think of this kind of stuff as something that a reader might not spend that much time on the first time but hopefully makes a book more fun to read again later. I've noticed that when I'm going through something I've done, I just skip over most pages like this.

SPURGEON: This may be the only page we selected that features Earthling. Where did that design come from? I don't recall ever seeing a cat stylized in that way, but maybe I'm just forgetting something.

GRAHAM: He looked more like a normal cat in some early drawings. I'm not sure where the football head came from. It always felt a little like Sanrio's Helly kitty to me.

SPURGEON: Joe's relationship with the cat, this kind of martial artistry... a really facile way to look at fighting like that in comics is as some sort of reflection of the cartoonist's attitudes towards his art, the skill set he has. Is there anything we get out of the fact that a lot of what Joe does is facilitating this thing outside of himself? I know it's a stretch, but do you feel distinct, separate from your art?

GRAHAM: I'm always trying to relate what I'm talking about in stories to how I feel about something in my life, so that seems pretty accurate. I do think of my work and my ability to work as a separate animal from me.

It feels like a relationship that requires some maintenance. I always feel like I have to keep it going -- working to stay in love with making comics.

Sometimes it's revisiting work that first got me excited to make comics or finding new comics I'm excited about.

It can be trying to find things in other mediums that get me thinking about things I haven't seen done in comics or something as simple as just remembering that I like making lines on paper.

"I'm Here To Rescue You"

SPURGEON: What appealed to you about this page that this is one of the ones that you suggested we talk about? I know how lame that question is, but I'm genuinely curious.

GRAHAM: I know it's not a particularly exciting visual page but it's the page that I was on when Tokyopop canceled the book.

SPURGEON: Oh. Okay. Huh.

GRAHAM: At the time it made me feel almost like they were trying to stop her from being rescued.

There was a big gap between when I drew this page and the next one. The scene after this -- with the fight where Joe loses his syringes and the other catmasters show up was done with the book in limbo and then the last page of that scene with Mudd's hair eating a bird was when I started it up again knowing it would be issues through Image.

SPURGEON: This page shows off your tendency to work in three horizontal tiers across the page. In fact, I think three tiers is the default structure of the book and that across the page panels is probably used more than any other kind of time measurement. What works for you about that structure?

GRAHAM: I assume it's just a refection of a lot of the comics I was reading when I was learning to draw. Even though I don't do many 6 panel grids I think of that as the basic bones of a page.

SPURGEON: More generally, how naturally does structure come to you when you're breaking a page down? Do you struggle with those kinds of decisions? How do they make themselves apparent to you -- through drawing, through scripting... ?

GRAHAM: It comes pretty quickly, but what slows me up is trying to do something more interesting with a page than whatever my first take is. I often do rough layouts with a lot more panels than I end up using and then try to combine the actions and hopefully boil it down to what needs to be shown. Recently I've been doing the more complicated page layouts on really big butcher paper just so I have lots of room to think.

SPURGEON: There's a really nice moment in the bottom, left-hand panel where the two hands touch and the word "nothing" appears over them. First, of all, I'm not entirely sure what that means. Am I missing something obvious? Because I assumed at first it meant an absence of feeling, but I'm not really seeing that played out as the story progresses. Second, how frequently do you try to employ that kind of lettering effect, where there's a visual element involved?

GRAHAM: There's a scene earlier in the book where Pete and the alien girl first hold hands and the word "trust" is there.

SPURGEON: Okay. I did miss that.

GRAHAM: I really like this sort of thing, being able to tack notes onto picture to add to them. It reminds me of a great page that Tom Herpich did in his Cusp book where he shows a fist with the words "your guts are like this" and then an open hand "do this" and then he goes onto show the text without the hands but the words and the pictures have become married. "your guts are like this"/"do this"

SPURGEON: I'm not sure I have any questions regarding what's shown on this page in a narrative sense, but is there anything to be said about the nature of what he's risking here? Because I guess there's an element of danger involved, but mostly what we get on this page is the scariness of making this commitment to someone else. Is that fair? I'm curious, because you've slowed this moment down so I'm guessing it means something.

GRAHAM: I think it's mostly about this rescue that's meant to make everything better just being awkward and nothing like Pete was expecting.

[Silent Page]

SPURGEON: I wanted to talk about a silent page, because there aren't a lot of them. That was a bit surprising to me because your style seems like it would facilitate several stand-alone images like this one. To be honest, there's so much typography on display it's debatable whether this is "silent" in any way. But let's pretend it is. Are you conscious of using dialogue-light or even dialogue-less pages, how powerful that can be in the course of reading a comic?

GRAHAM: I remember when I drew this page I meant it to be two pages earlier but had to move it for the spread before it to work. Also this was a page that I based off of a photo I found. When I'm thinking about it I avoid doing many silent scenes just because I think of text as the best way to slow down the reader.

SPURGEON: I was actually surprised when I re-read King City that there weren't a lot of cityscape depictions, or there were at least fewer than I remembered. One thing about living in a city is that there's frequently a disconnect between the people living there and where they live. Was it important to you to depict the city itself, or in this case was it really more about the characters and what it's like to live in a city as opposed to the characteristics of this specific place?

GRAHAM: I like being able to show something from far away to convey that other things are going on at the same time as the main focus of the story. It was important for me to show the city but I wasn't ever trying to make it a specific city as much as show how it feels to live in big metropolis. Aside from Anna and Max's apartment I didn't really even have any landmarks that I went back to.

I remember reading that when they drew Spider-Man 2099 the artists had planned out how the city was laid out and redrew the same skyline. It's impressive, but I could see it making things less fun.

SPURGEON: You seem to a real knack for proportion and scale, what smaller and larger figures and the disparities between them can communicate on the page. Is that something that just appeals to you in a visual sense, or are you trying to communicate through story moments that count on there being this contrast between figures and some building or monster or event?

GRAHAM: Thanks, I love showing the characters in a story relating to their environment and the props around them. I feel like it helps to ground things and make everything more believable as real. There's something so fun about believing your own lie that there's any depth or large scale on a flat piece of paper.

Milla Jovovich Eyeing Thriller Mile Zero

Marcel Langenegger has signed on to direct and develop Phoenix Pictures’ thriller Mile Zero as a possible starring vehicle for Milla Jovovich, says Variety.

Mile Zero, written by Holly Brix, centers on a young woman attempting to clear her father’s name in a string of gruesome murders at an Alaskan oil refinery.

Langenegger, a veteran commercials helmer, made his feature directing debut last year on Fox’s Deception, starring Hugh Jackman, Ewan McGregor and Michelle Williams.

Hate at Occupy Wall Street

Today the Emergency Committee for Israel released a new ad challenging leading Democrats to speak out against the Occupy Wall Street protests, which have featured a disturbing level of anti-Semitic and anti-Israel rhetoric.

“It’s not surprising that elements of the modern left are anti-Semitic," said ECI chairman William Kristol. "It is surprising that respectable liberals have praised the protesters while ignoring the anti-Semitism. Liberals have pretended to see nothing hateful and hear nothing hateful, and therefore have said nothing to rebuke their allies. Will they now speak up?”

The ad's online debut will be followed by a substantial TV buy in New York City and Washington DC beginning on Monday.

This weekend, three stalwarts of progressive graffiti take residence at First Amendment Gallery in San Francisco. Local, Bay Area artists Poesia and Sam Rodriguez are joined by Berlin's Jaybo to explore experimental techniques and a playful fusion of abstraction and graffiti. The idea is captured in the exhibition title, The Composite Knowledge, which captures the evolution of these writers to fine artists and their efforts to interact with the wider world of painting. The works on view blend realistic and abstract landscapes and fuse street and academic art.

The Composite Knowledge, curated by Mike Tyau, opens on July 20 and runs through August 18, 2012. Click the thumbs for full preview.

James Jarvis is a jack-of-all-trades who illustrates some dope cartoons that often times move from prints and turn into a series of toys or graphic tees. Norse Projects linked up with the London-based artist to get deep and use his Spheric Dialogues cartoons for its latest Artist Series Tees.

There were 365 illustrations in the 2012 series, but the collaboration narrows it down to just four important ones. Picking a topic of conversation shouldn’t be a problem with these tees on. Each shirt features mind-blowing themes about art, being, knowledge, logic, and skateboarding, so you can go deep and maybe even find the meaning of life. Seriously, there will be no more awkward silences when you’re socializing.

There are four tees total and available now on the Norse Projects website.

Huawei poses no competitive threat to US networking firms, says Enterasys CEO

Too few US organisations trust China government-linked Huawei for it to pose a threat to networking firms, says Enterasys’s CEO

Huawei has hit the headlines in recent months as continual questions of links with the Chinese government persist without convincing answers. As a result, the firm is struggling in the US market and poses no threat to the well-established networking vendors on its shores.

This was the belief of Chris Crowell, president and CEO of Boston-based network company Enterasys.

During a meeting with the company at its headquarters, a number of the Enterasys executive team scoffed at the idea that Huawei would prove competition for them, despite the billions it puts into R&D and its push to globalise its business.

Discussing Huawei’s position in his home country, Crowell said: “I think so far in the US they have been rejected by the US government and I think that is a big driver. Maybe it is a fear.

“This is data networking. Every critical piece of information passes over the data network. It is not like televisions or air conditioning, this is critical data for a business and I think that is a concern.”

Trust, fear and risk

Crowell admitted he didn’t know if it was “a real concern” and if Huawei was able to pass any information back to the Chinese government – as is feared by some of its critics – but he said, when it came to something as imperative as networking, he was unsurprised people were careful about whose hands they put their data in.

“If you put your data network into the hands of someone else, that puts your business at risk and, certainly from a government perspective, you would want to make sure that your investment in your critical data infrastructure would be with a trusted partner.”

So, with Huawei, it all came down to a matter of trust.

“You have to trust the vendor and obviously the source of where that is coming from,” continued Crowell. “That doesn’t mean anyone is untrustworthy, it is just you have to have that trust because your data is passing across.

“That doesn’t mean we as vendors would put something in there that would be able to see your data, but you own the code and the hardware where that data is passing over and people, whether that is right or wrong, think that creates a risk.”

Crowell admitted the network was more transparent than ever, with a growing number of stories in the press about the likes of the National Security Agency's (NSA) Prism surveillance programme and the fact that many people are more tech-savvy than before.

“It is talked about more, the tech is there, the government can listen and does decode,” he said. “The potential is there, but the question mark is, will it be abused by any one government and is there a tie between any vendor and a government?”

Battleground Europe

Yet, while Crowell does not fear for his business in the US, he admitted there was more openness to suppliers such as Huawei in Europe. Crowell said Europe could become a keen battleground for networking companies to make their global mark.

“In Europe… we see a lot more Huawei,” he said. “Obviously in Asia Pacific you would see that, but in Europe you see certain businesses that consider every vendor. There are still other businesses that don’t consider them flat out, whether that be because of market share or country of manufacturing or whatever, but I would say in Europe we probably compete with more players.”
