Suns come up just short in loss to Grizzlies
MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — The Memphis Grizzlies are leaning on point guard Mike Conley as they wait for other starters to return from injury.
He's coming through. Conley matched his career high with 31 points and led a fourth-quarter rally as the Grizzlies defeated the Phoenix Suns 104-99 Friday night.
It marked Conley's second consecutive game with at least 30 points as Memphis plays without center Marc Gasol, who is rehabbing a knee injury. Tony Allen, Conley's backcourt mate, has missed three straight games with a sprained left wrist.
"(Conley's) been great," said forward Zach Randolph, who had 20 points and 13 rebounds for the Grizzlies. "The kid's worked on his game, and he keeps getting better and better."
Ed Davis had 10 points and a career-high 17 rebounds as the Grizzlies outrebounded the Suns 53-44. Mike Miller finished with 11 points, and Randolph tied his season high in assists with seven.
"We were really focused on getting boards, and they still get them," Suns coach Jeff Hornacek said of the Grizzlies.
Conley was a key force in the fourth quarter when he scored five points in run that put the Grizzlies ahead for good. He finished the night 11 of 19 from the field, including 3 of 7 from outside the arc.
"I'm having fun with it," Conley said. "I've had games where I don't play well and I'm still trying to carry the load and games where I do. I'm just having fun and trying to help us get wins."
Goran Dragic led the Suns with 21 points and eight assists. Markieff Morris came off the Phoenix bench for 17 points while Gerald Green had 12.
The Phoenix loss came on a day when the Suns announced that guard Eric Bledsoe, the team's second-leading scorer, is out indefinitely after having surgery earlier in the day to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee.
Phoenix held an 88-86 advantage with about 6 minutes left when Memphis scored seven straight points. The Grizzlies took control as the Suns struggled from the field in the final quarter, connecting on only 9 of 27 shots, including 2 of 11 from beyond the arc. Meanwhile, Memphis hit 10 of 18 shots in the fourth.
You want to have a chance to win in the fourth quarter. They made the plays that we didn't. We missed layups. We had open shots. We just didn't finish them.
Suns coach Jeff Hornacek
"They are not known to be a 3-point shooting team," said Channing Frye, who scored 10 points for Phoenix, "but they hit some huge 3s down the end."
Hornacek, like others, did not lose sight of Conley's impact. He talked about the point guard's court vision and quickness, which kept the Grizzlies offense flowing.
"Mike Conley made a bunch of great plays at the end of the game," Hornacek said. "You want to have a chance to win in the fourth quarter. They made the plays that we didn't. We missed layups. We had open shots. We just didn't finish them."
The Suns built a 10-point advantage before carrying a 55-48 lead into the break.
After Phoenix opened the third quarter by going 4 of 5 from 3-point range, Memphis chipped away, outscoring the Suns 16-7 in the closing minutes of the third to tie the game at 74 entering the fourth.
"We crashed the boards," Conley said of the second-half rally. "They started missing a couple of shots. They were making some tough shots throughout the game. We had a feeling that once they started to miss, we had to be there to get the rebound and go down on the other end and convert it."
NOTES: Memphis has won all three games in the series this season, holding Phoenix to 91 points in each of the first two victories. … Suns G Leandro Barbosa, signed to a 10-day contract earlier this week, scored four points in his return to the franchise. Barbosa played his first seven years in Phoenix and was the 2006-07 Sixth Man of the Year. …With the win, the Grizzlies have alternated wins and losses over the last nine games.

At The Plate – The Smokies swarmed the Braves in this one as the pounded out fourteen hits and scored seven runs to beat the Braves 7-0. Ronald Torreyes went 2-for-5 with a double, a run scored, and en error. Christian Villanueva had a solid game going 2-for-5 with an RBI, a stolen base, and a run scored. Rubi Silva continued his superb 2013 going 3-for-4 with a walk, a triple, and two runs scored, he's now hitting .318 on the season. Rafael Lopez was 1-for-3 with his first home run of the season, he also walked twice, had an RBI, and scored two runs. Jonathan Mota was 2-for-3 with a walk, and two RBI's in the victory.
On The Mound – Dallas Beeler was outstanding once again for the Smokies. Beeler went 6.2 scoreless innings giving up one hit while walking three and striking out five to earn his third win of the season. Zach Rosscup earned his sixth hold of the season as he worked 1.1 scoreless innings out of the pen while walking one and striking out two. Brian Schlitter worked a scoreless ninth, giving up two hits and walking one.
At The Plate – After falling behind 2-0 in the first inning the D-Cubs offense went tow work scoring six times over the next four innings to put this one away. John Andreoli was 2-for-5 with a run scored, and his ninth stolen base of the season. Stephen Bruno was 2-for-4 with a double, and RBI, and two runs scored, he's now hitting .362 on the season. Dustin Geiger also had a solid night going 2-for-4 with a run scored in the win.
On The Mound – Austin Kirk had a weird night, but because he didn't walk anyone he was able to survive giving up ten hits. Kirk went six innings giving up two runs on ten hits while striking out four to improve his record to 4-1 on the season. Austin Reed had was great out of the bullpen, and finally might be finding some confidence, he worked two scoreless innings giving up one hit while walking one. David Cales took care of the rest as he worked a scoreless ninth innings giving up one hit while walking one and striking out one.
NOTES: Kane County and Iowa were both rained out because the weather hates us all.

New technology terrifies many people. Technology most often equates to change and having to change the way we do things, really frightens people. We live at the confluence of ongoing technological innovations in computer technology, telecommunications, and digital imagery to name just a few. Daily life as we know it over the next 10-15 years will continue to change at an accelerated rate. You will need to learn new things on a daily basis or risk feeling [and being] further out of touch with the world you live in. Programming your VCR will seem like a trivial task compared to some of the new things you will be asked to learn.
Unfortunately the world is becoming more technological. New technology means change. With change comes uncertainty. Is it time for me to change? Am I doing the right thing? Where do I find all this new information I'm supposed to learn, even if I had the time?
New technology often brings with it a number of new concepts and new tools to master. Internet technology, as I see it, is a key technology because it offers a solution to surviving in an era of rapid technological change. It offers a new paradigm of learning, learning about anything and everything. It is the best means of imparting computing skills to the masses (the non-technonerd population) that I have seen. The Internet, particularly the World Wide Web, is the best example of both a concept and an associated set of tools that advocates information sharing, learning, and ultimately technology itself. The rapid growth of the Internet is the best proof of its success. The Web has evolved tremendously in the years since it's introduction and shows no signs of slowing down any time soon.

As thinking skills mature and your baby begins to understand more complex concepts, try games that encourage natural curiosity, and busy activity toys with lots of features to explore.
He can respond to one or two simple instructions
She may anticipate the "surprise" phrase in favorite children's songs
With you holding his hands, he may walk
She mimics more, copying others' actions
He likes to play peek-a-boo—and peek around corners, too
She can anticipate and remember simple sequences, such as expecting food when you open the pantry
He begins to show preferences for the different sounds he hears in language
Encourage baby to pull up and stand by pointing out features near the top: "I wonder what will happen if we push this button up here?"
Clear a path on all sides of the toy so your baby can pull up and cruise all around it. Babies who are learning to stand and balance appreciate sturdy support.
Reinforce language concepts by using descriptive words as you and your child play with the toy: "Look! His nose lights up!"
Basic learning. Educational toys like these expose your child to basic building blocks of early learning … simple concepts like letters, numbers, shapes and colors. Talk about these when you play with your child, extending them to other parts of baby's world to help them make more sense. "That's the number five. Here are five crackers."
Now for a game. Add interest by playing letter or number games. Pick a letter and find something in the room that begins with that letter. Say the name of the letter and the name of the item out loud for baby: "That's a D. D is for Daddy." You're extending his learning, but don't worry about teaching actual letters or numbers at this age.
Surprise! Sit with your child on the floor and point out different surprises, colors and shapes on the toy.
Build baby's excitement and anticipation by calling attention to what might happen: "I wonder where the ball is?" That gets baby to think, even at this young age, about estimation.
Use words and descriptive terms as much as possible in "conversations" with your baby; children of this age enjoy listening and vocalizing.
Measuring up. When baby plays with his toy, let him see you using its "real-world" counterpart. Measure something with a ruler and watch your child make the connection between his toy and your tool.
Sing along with baby's musical toys. Once she hears you, she'll want to join in!
Shaping the day. As you go about your day, reinforce baby's understanding of shapes. "Look at your plate—it's a circle, too!"
Give baby a "taste" of real kitchen equipment. Set out plastic cups and bowls and let him stack and sort to his heart's delight. Add a spoon into the mix and he'll make music for you, too!
1) Always pay close attention to the age recommendations on toys and choose one according to a child's age, interest and skill level.
Parents often feel they must occupy baby's every waking moment or boredom will set in. Not so. Not only is learning how to play alone an important skill to grasp, but baby will be more cheerful overall if you don't play together 100 percent of the time.
Parents can foster problem-solving skills by creating a stimulating environment. Offer your baby an interesting toy; with a little encouragement, baby will become absorbed in the intricacies of a shape sorter or nesting cups.

First Drive: 2013 Ford Focus ST
The spiciest Focus on the menu was prepared by the chefs of the Global Performance Vehicle Group in close cooperation with Ford of Europe's Team RS and the American Special Vehicles Team, SVT. "It's a one-fits-all-markets concept," explains the project leader, Dieter Schwarz. "Design, engine specification, chassis calibration, and tire choice are exactly identical, regardless of whether the car is sold in Beijing, Los Angeles, or London. We are convinced we have found a global setup that fuses performance and comfort with practicality and affordability."
The ST makes a visual statement thanks to unique eighteen-inch wheels, larger front air intakes, a center-mounted exhaust, a massive rear diffuser, flared rocker panels, and a mighty roof-mounted spoiler. Inside, we notice dressed-up pedals, a newly designed leather steering wheel and matching shift knob, auxiliary dashtop instruments (oil pressure, oil temperature and boost pressure), a near-black headliner, and a pair of Recaro seats. Mounted lower than in lesser models, the cloth- or hide-trimmed buckets are comfortable, supportive, and generously adjustable.
Like most modern turbo engines, the 2.0-liter EcoBoost, which develops 252 hp and 270 lb-ft of torque, sounds more characterful than its normally aspirated sibling, and it fields a broader bouquet of dynamic talents, too. It is hard not to be smitten by the faint turbocharger whine on overrun, the spine-tingling intake rasp which turns into a dense full-bodied hum at only 2000 rpm, or the colorful exhaust note that varies from blat-blat impatient to no-holds-barred thunderous. To transmit the acoustic action into the cabin, the engineers installed a so-called sound symposer in the firewall. Add to this the catchy background tune played by the large dual tailpipes, and you can probably imagine why this Ford is truly a stereophonic treat. It also is a rapid machine. On dry blacktop, the ever-eager compact will zip in 6.5 seconds from 0 to 62 mph and on to a maximum of 155 mph. Thanks to a low-inertia charger, variable valve timing, and direct injection, the 2.0-liter four suffers virtually no turbo lag, tardy throttle response, or meager bottom-end torque.
The only transmission available for the Focus ST is a six-speed manual, but it's a slick one. Our only reservation concerns the excessively tall top gear --it undoubtedly helps to save fuel but forces you to downshift rather too frequently to keep up the momentum at freeway speeds. Despite a brigade of electronics, there is still a fair bit of steering fight involved when you push the car hard, especially in the wet. Torque Steer Compensation, Torque Vectoring Control, and Cornering Understeer Control, together with ESP, which can be deactivated in two steps, aim to synchronize the steering input and the torque flow without putting too many dents into your chosen line. This mission is accomplished as long as you're not driving all out; push it hard, however, and the 252-hp Focus ST can be a handful.
One change from the standard is the addition of variable-ratio sport steering. The rack-and-pinion device feels quite light at low speeds but firms up nicely as the mph readout rises. The calibration is so direct that you can keep your hands on the helm when racing through hairpins, where one armful of lock is all it takes to master a 180-degree corner. At the same time, the steering is relaxed enough at triple-digit speeds that a quick flick of the wheel won't upset the car's stability. But there are drawbacks. On rough pavement, the front suspension kicks and tugs like one remembers it from the old days, which means that going fast entails a fair amount of adjusting and correcting. It's fun, but it ain't smooth. The other complaint concerns an underlying artificiality that can on its own tighten or slacken the line, depending on radius, steering angle, and vehicle speed. The intent is laudable, but at the end of the day I felt that less electronic intervention would result in a more natural and intuitive driving experience.
When you switch off ESP, you also disable traction control, thereby clearing the stage for a good bit of lift-off oversteer. In this zero-interference mode, the ST can be a truly wild thing, sliding and carving, swinging like an angry pendulum from wide-eyed understeer to arms-crossed oversteer. To improve grip, Ford equipped the most ambitious Focus with special-compound Goodyear Eagle AS2 tires (235/40R-18), lowered the ride height by 10 mm, and fitted tauter springs and non-adjustable dampers together with redesigned knuckles and fatter anti-roll bars. Although the Brembo brakes used by many competitors are conspicuous by their absence in the ST, the four discs (large inner-ventilated 12.6-inch rotors in the front) keep the 3000-pound Focus in check at all times.
At $24,495, the Focus ST plays in an almost deserted segment that used to be owned by the Japanese and the Europeans. Just about the only remaining rivals are the Mazdaspeed 3, the Volkswagen GTI and, to a lesser extent, the winged and turbocharged Mitsubishi and Subaru twins. The Ford ST is not exactly a world-beater in terms of refinement, handling balance, or ergonomics. But it does offer a lot of car and performance for the money, it scores an undisputed ten on the entertainment scale, and it won't fall apart when pushed to the limit. All that distances the high-performance Focus from real greatness is some fine-tuning. We'd like to see the computer-controlled cleverness scaled back in favor of a more homogenous steering and suspension setup. And while Ford is at it, its engineers and designers could bring some order into what must be one of the world's messiest center stacks.

2. Bots provisions. Bots, or programs that update pages automatically, are not allowed without prior consent from FamilySearch management.
3. Civility and polite discourse must be the rule. Rude, insensitive, argumentative, impolite communications are unacceptable in the Wiki community. Written or verbal personal attacks should be reported to administration. Users and contributors should encourage polite behavior in others and report offenders. As a community owned and operated entity, this site and its visitors should be treated with respect and dignity.
4. Encourage others. Through words and actions on the Internet and in person, help to create interest in, and involve others in reading, editing, sourcing, and contributing to the FamilySearch Research Wiki.
5. Editing Policy. Be bold in your desire to edit. Don't wait for perfection to enter content, but be bold in contributing before the information is polished or perfect. Community monitoring and involvement have been proven to improve content quality. Therefore, rely on the community to help perfect the content. Be bold in correcting spelling, grammar, or other edits. Jump in! It's okay to be wrong. There are two things to be aware of: First, don't be so attached to your work that you feel offended or upset when someone corrects or changes something, ask "did this make it better?"; second, if you are correcting something and you find that your have significantly changed the format, layout or content of the page then consider that it may be better to make the changes gradually after consulting with the previous author. Filling in a brief edit summary in the box at the bottom of the page to explain the changes you made to the content is always a good practice to follow.
6. Avoid edit wars. Seek compromise and fair discussion when differences of opinion occur. Don't fight over competing viewpoints. Use the Etiquette Guidelines and Dispute Resolution process to help guide your efforts to resolve differences on your own.
7. Avoid legal threats. Site administrators will respond quickly to alleged copyright violations, however, use mediation to resolve issues, rather than legal threats.
8. No personal attacks. Respond to the content rather than the contributor. In most cases jumping to conclusions is wasted effort and is usually completely wrong. Personal attacks damage the community feeling.
9. Relinquish ownership. We all want the best material on the Research Wiki, and you agree to allow others to modify your work. Turn loose.
10. Digital Coups. Don't try to win an edit war by bringing in allies or by enlisting friends to create the illusion of support.
11. Three-revert rule. Do not revert any page or any part of a page more than 3 times in 24 hours. Doing so may lead to action being taken against your account by an administrator.
12. User ID. Your User ID will be visible to all users. Consider carefully what name you wish to be identified with. Using your own name is ok, but to maintain a level of privacy, it may be better to select a User ID that only describes you to those who know you well. It is best to choose a neutral, non-controversial name. No obscene or profane names are allowed.
13. Conditions of Use. When you register to use the FamilySearch Research Wiki you agree to abide by the FamilySearch Conditions of Use. There is a link to that document on the bottom of every page.
14. Vandalism. Anything that is added, removed, or changed in the Wiki that is an attempt to compromise the integrity of FamilySearch Research Wiki is vandalism.
15. Be kind to newcomers. Most newcomers are not familiar with the policies of the Research Wiki. Be respectful when stating policy; refer them to policy pages in a kind manner. Treat them with the respect you would hope to receive if you were new to the Research Wiki as a user or contributor.
16. User page. The user page is a great place to create a personal profile or introduction to yourself, or simply a location to keep helpful hints, or what you last contributed. Feel free to share your experience and skills, but blatant advertisements or lengthy blogs are inappropriate.
Content and StyleEdit
17. Attack pages. Pages which have the sole purpose of disparaging a topic or the contributor are not allowed. These pages will be deleted and the author will be subject to warnings or discipline that could include revocation of their site privileges.
18. Biographies. Biographies of individuals, whether living or deceased, are not allowed (except as an example or case study to illustrate a procedure or principle). The research Wiki is for general help in finding sources for information of ancestral data, not for sharing the specific data once it is found.
19. Page or article naming. When giving a name to a page or a new article think about how native language speakers would search for that article. Use the same key words you would use in searching for the article in the title you give it, including variations of the locality name. Avoid ambiguous words or phrases.
20. Neutral Point of View. All articles, templates, portals, categories, etc. should be written from a neutral point of view.
21. Proven techniques. When sharing research information avoid unproven techniques. If you have not tried it then do not share it, even if you are reasonably certain it works.
22. Verifiable. Always cite sources. Remember a reputable source goes a long way to establishing credibility. Sources are especially critical to genealogical research. Don't think that no one will look up the source. In a large community there will always be those who verify sources.
23. Proper Content. Please avoid the temptation to use the Research Wiki for things that are outside of its Guiding Principles. Just because you can publish something widely doesn't mean you should if it is not relevant.
24. Article or page size. Article size should be determined by readability and organization. It can be useful to split long articles into multiple smaller ones, and provide links between the relevant articles.
25. 3D graphics or illustrations. Please try to avoid graphics or images that require movement, rotation, or execution. Keep images small and manageable.
26. Disambiguation. If an article's name is very similar to another, make a note at the top explaining or linking to similar articles. If many articles share a name or name pieces, create a disambiguation page.
27. Link, don't copy. Don't include listings or complete records, rather, link externally to the source. Don't include lengthy poems, speeches or other source text. Link to it.
28. Deleting Articles or Pages. To permanently delete articles or pages ultimately requires an administrator/sysop and follows a consensus process. Obscene or provocative pages will be deleted immediately. Those labeled or flagged as controversial may take longer to reach a consensus.
29. Immediate deletion. Articles, pages, images, categories, etc. may be immediately deleted if they are obscene, offensive, profane, or disruptive. Pages with controversial topics should go through the deletion process.
30. Category deletion. Deleting categories follows the same process as articles/pages. Categories that do not follow naming conventions can be immediately renamed; however, articles in the deleted category should be re-categorized first.
31. Deletion Process. Controversial article/pages can be proposed or flagged for deletion. Once proposed, if not contested within 5 days, an administrator may delete them.
Policy EnforcementEdit
32. Blocking and Banning. Users who fail to obey policy and who do not follow the FamilySearch Research Wiki Conditions of Use will be blocked from using the Research Wiki. Disruptive users, those who deliberately fan controversy, or who maliciously attack members of the community or community standards, will be subject to blocking. Blocking may last for a short or long period of time, which length of time will be determined by consensus of the administrators. Users who have to be blocked multiple times, or whose offenses are particularly egregious will be subject to ban. Other community members who are not banned should act responsibly to neither bait the banned user nor assist them.
33. Arbitration. A committee of administrators will form the arbitration board. Arbitration is needed when disputes about user conduct are reported. The decisions made by the Arbitration Board are final. However, a community member may Appeal the Arbitration Board for decisions on deletions of content, blocking or banning. Appeals of arbitration board decisions are sent to FamilySearch Directors. There is no appeal beyond that level.
34. Disputes between members. When disputes arise between community members they are strongly encouraged to talk together and resolve their differences without using arbitration or mediation.
35. Mediation. A process available for request when disputes between members cannot be resolved on their own.
Legal and CopyrightEdit
36. Copyrights. Materials which infringe on copyrights must not be added. Only copyright owners may place copyrighted materials on the Research Wiki unless the contributor has received the written consent of the copyright owner. Materials from other Creative Commons sites (look for the Creative Commons icon at the bottom of each page on the site) can be placed on this site without concern. Care should be taken to always properly attribute sources.
37. Image use. Users should avoid uploading non-free or copyrighted images. Always describe image sources on their description page. Obscene, provocative or profane images will not be allowed, will be immediately deleted, and the contributor subject to blocking or banning.
38. Libel. It is the FamilySearch policy to immediately delete all libelous materials. Libelous materials should be immediately reported to administrators.

BOSTON (AP) — The widow of U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy has called on Boston College Law School graduates to use training from their Catholic education to work for justice.
Catholic attorney Victoria Reggie Kennedy gave the keynote speech at Friday's graduation ceremony. She also urged graduates to make progress by finding common ground with people as she said her late husband did.
Kennedy had been scheduled to deliver this year's commencement speech at Anna Maria College in Paxton. But the Catholic college rescinded the invitation under pressure from a bishop who objected to Kennedy's public support for abortion rights and gay marriage.
Seven protesters picketed outside, carrying signs saying: "BC Honors Abortion Defender."
School officials say they weren't conferring an honorary degree on Kennedy, whom they say is committed to social justice.

Late Comic & Other News
May 26th, 2010
The comic will be late today, as this cold is kicking my butt harder than I want it to considering the timing. What's with the timing? Well you see this weekend is Balticon, and I will be there as a webcomics guest. Believe me when I tell you that it's frustrating to no end that I typically always, and I mean almost ALWAYS get a cold before a con. So I both am and am not looking forward to this weekend. I love cons, but I hate colds.
So if you're attending Balticon, look out for Amu and I. The comic should be up later this evening.

Designer Ravi Ratan has come up with what is possibly the most dapper way to store your data: a pair of cufflinks. Each tiny drive holds 2GB worth — 4GB for a pair — and, as you might imagine, the accessories command a pretty high price.
Hiding some data up your sleeve will set you back $195 for the pair, with the option to get an engraving of up to eight letters for a little extra. Will they ever be useful? Probably not. Still, it's fun to think about when they would be, like when two spies meeting at a gala need to swap sensitive information. They'd just swap cufflinks!

Glitch Art Android Photo Apps8Bit Photo Lab - Degrade the resolution and colors in your photos until they resemble snaps taken in the eighties. If you grew up with VGA monitors and GameBoys, this app will be a trip down memory lane. There are even classic game sprites you can add.
Glitch! - A straightforward app that lets you "draw" glitches with your finger. It's a lot of fun, but user beware! This app has no undo button. Screw up and you'll have to start from scratch.
Glitchr - Another simple app that randomly applies one effect at a time.
Vintage Retro Camera - Ages photos with filters that includes 8mm and VHS along with an array of other psychedelic effects. You can also use it to distort any image or video from your library.
Glitch Art iOS Photo Apps
Anti Tagging – Anonymizes photos by auto-detecting faces and glitching them out. Yes, it's a one-trick pony, but it's extremely useful under the right circumstances.
Bent Camera – Strictly a live camera app. Allows you to fragment and glitch with a variety of effects, including RGB and pixel shifting.
Databender – Better known for its video effects, it's full of other features for still photos.
Decim8 – This is far and away the most popular app for photo destruction. It offers 27 different glitch filters, all of which can be applied simultaneous. The app's biggest drawback is that there's no fine tuning for the individual effects. The effects also layer successively, not simultaneously, which requires considerable forethought.
Glitch - Choose your glitch effect and apply. Has a few nice features, including variable controls for effects and the ability to rotate an image, which is handy since most glitch effects tend to destroy data in a top-to-bottom manner.
Glitch Cam– Glitch Cam is a free version of Camera Filters from Glitché
Glitch Lab Pro – A powerful glitch editor with tons of options.
Glitch.Simply – A simplistic one-click Glitch app.
Glitch Wizard – Easily the best Glitch app out there. If you're new to the Glitch scene, this is where you want to start. The app offers 30 filters that will distort your image in a specific way, most of which can have their intensity set by a user-manipulated slider. It also includes a suite of "audio glitches" that are similar to this technique using Audacity. The best part is that it allows you to animate your glitches and export them as video or GIFs. (Price: $1.99)
Glitché – Similar to the more popular Decim8, Glitché is a suite of filters rather than a detailed editor, but it's effects are still worth a test drive. Sadly, you can only use one effect at a time.
Glitchee – Lots of sliders and things, which is nice because I like to feel like I have a little bit of control over my errors. No crashes and easy to use UI.
Glitchr – Straightforward app that cycles through a series of Jpeg glitches on your image.
GLTCH – Edit photos or GIFs. A bit on the slow side when working with Gifs
Hyperspektiv - A personal favorite of mine. This bundle of 27 super trippy video glitch filters. The best feature of this app is that the viewfinder acts as a X / Y parameter control for the filter effects – slide your finger to the right and the filter will move faster, slide upwards and the effect will become more intense. You can use this to distort and tweak the video in realtime.
iColorama S - Largely for adding filters to photos, this app does off Glitch effects.
iGlitch – An excellent app that offers RGB panels, layering, and feedback options
Omohide Breaker – Swiping in different directions applies different glitch effects, while sliders control on the amount of each effect.
PixiVisor – Converts your image into audio data, which you then transfer and convert on another iOS app. Noise will give your image a sort of visual punch to go along with the music.
Satromizer – The original Glitch app! Just tap to Glitch. Suuuper simple.
Swutits – An iPad only Glitch app with few options.
Text2Image – This app lets you create Glitch art from scratch by entering text.
Glitch Art iOS Video AppsBent Camera– Strictly a live camera app. Allows you to fragment and glitch with a variety of effects, including RGB and pixel shifting.
Databender – The definitive app for data moshing videos! Unpredictable but often awesome results.
Glitch Art VHS Photo – Apply a set of filters to videos on your phone. Watermarks until you pay.
GlitchVideo – Another great glitch video app. This one allows you to take existing videos or live footage and apply effects on top of them in real time. 5 effects to choose from.
Glitch Wizard – Take existing videos, photos, or even Gifs and glitch them frame by frame and save the finished animation as a GIF or video.
Glitche – Glitche is a pretty powerful glitch app that works with photos or video. The basic interface is to pick your filter, then tilt your phone to control the effect. Effects are applied after shooting.
Hyperspektiv – A personal favorite of mine. This bundle of 27 super trippy video glitch filters. The best feature of this app is that the viewfinder acts as a X / Y parameter control for the filter effects – slide your finger to the right and the filter will move faster, slide upwards and the effect will become more intense. You can use this to distort and tweak the video in realtime.
Moon Shadow – This trippy app applies layers of effects on top of your video.

The Y recently commissioned a consumer survey to measure how Americans view quality of life in their communities nationwide. The survey was based on several factors, such as community member involvement and the quality of a community�s services, ranging from education to public safety.
Interestingly, the survey revealed a 30 percent gap between what people say is most important in creating a strong community and how satisfied they are with their own communities in those areas. For example, Americans report that a safe environment for children and assistance for struggling community members (job training, food pantry, etc.) were important for building a strong community; however, they rate their own community low in these same areas.
When asked for the solution to closing this gap, survey respondents held themselves accountable. Survey respondents feel it�s important � now more than ever � to contribute their time and money to community causes (an 8 percent and 10.5 percent increase from 2012.) They expect more from their community � and each other.
I agree, and that�s why I believe the Y is a cause worth investing in. The Y needs help from the community to continue its vital work. The Gaston County Family YMCA is launching its annual giving campaign to ensure that everyone in Gaston County has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
Throughout Gaston County, countless people know the Gaston County Family YMCA. But there�s so much more to our Y than one might think. Every day, we work across our community to support the people and neighborhoods that need it most by addressing community issues. For example, in the summer of 2013, the YMCA ran a Y-Readers Camp at Forest Heights Elementary School to address summer learning loss.
Typically students from Title One Schools lose up to six months reading ability during summer months. Through the six week Y-Readers program, students worked with teachers, YMCA counselors and community leaders in a day camp environment to improve reading, spelling and writing. They also spent part of the day for energetic play, swimming, and educational field trips.
The result for the 27 children was an average of four months increase in their reading level opposed to the expected six month loss. Some students achieved as high as eight months improvement. The principal, Lucretia Rice, is proud of the program and looks forward to the return of the Learning Loss program in 2014 and seeing continued improvement in her students.
Your financial gift will help to close gaps in our community and to strengthen Gaston County by helping individuals and families through programs and services that support youth development, healthy living and social responsibility.
Visit gastonymca.org or contact Sharon Padgett at email@example.com to learn how you can support the Y�s cause.

NEW YORK, July 8 (UPI) -- Former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who resigned after admitting he solicited a high-price call girl, said he may run for New York City comptroller.
The 54-year-old Democrat said he "re-envisioned the often-overlooked office" of comptroller and told The New York Times in a telephone interview he wanted to resurrect the kind of aggressive role he played as the state's attorney general.
Spitzer, who also is a former real estate developer and did a stint as a TV political show co-host after his fall from office, admitted he missed the fast-paced world and power of New York politics. Still, he refused to comment on whether the recent positive showing in polls of Democrat Anthony D. Weiner, former U.S. Representative and current New York mayoral contender -- who resigned after he admitted he texted lewd photographs of himself to women -- had affected his decision.
He said New Yorkers often tell him they would support him if he ran for office again.
Spitzer said he planned to transform and extend the comptroller's office into an aggressive agency that doesn't just account for city spending, as it does today, but conduct regular inquiries into the effectiveness of government policies in areas such as high school graduation rates.
As New York state attorney general, Spitzer expanded his role and went after Wall Street abuses after the Enron and other scandals of the early 2000s, which often put him at odds with federal regulators of Wall Street.
To get on the New York City ballot for the September primary, candidates for city comptroller must collect at least 3,750 signatures from registered voters from their political party by Thursday, the Times said.

I am a Wojtek Wolski fan.
Most Avalanche fans on the blogosphere complain about his laziness, or is inconsistency, or his whatever.
But he's 24-years-old and is on-pace for about a 20-point improvement from last year. He's still a few years away from entering his prime, and if he lives up to his potential, he's going to be more than a point-per-game player.
In response to trade speculation about Kovalchuk, I wrote this about Wolski in January:
At just 23-years-old, Wolski has stepped up in a big way this year. With 45 points in 51 games, Wolski is just five away from his career high. He already has two more goals than last season, and his +/- has gone from a minus 13 to a plus 14. Though Avalanche fans consistently get on him for what appears to be a "lack of effort," Wolski has responded well to a couple benchings this year and even had his first fight a few games ago. In six years, it's unlikely he'll be an Ilya Kovalchuk, but he has all the tools to dominate as an NHL left winger.Had the Avs gotten a difference maker back, I may be looking at this trade differently; instead,in comes Mueller and Porter.
Had you watched a Coyotes game before this trade, you would have undoubtedly forgotten that Mueller was in the lineup. In 54 games this season, Mueller has 4 goals and 13 assists.
4. Stinking. Goals.
This is down from 13 last year, and 22 in his rookie season. Mueller and Wolski are actually very similar. Both were hyped up when they came into the league, and both have failed to prove their advocates right.
Porter is an interesting player in the deal. He was taken in the 4th round of the 2004 Draft and went on to play four years in college. In 2008, he won the Hobey Baker. He did play 34 games with the Coyotes last season, racking up an impressive (not) 5 goals and 5 assists. This season, he's played four games and has no points to speak of.
Oh...I left out that he's a center. We so need one of those!
Interestingly, the Avs play the Coyotes Thursday night.
Oh crap. Lee Stempniak to Phoenix. Nice day for them.
My biggest problem with the deal is that it does nothing to help the Avs in the playoffs this season. I'm all for building for the future, but it's not like Tucker or Salei were involved in this deal. We traded youth for youth. That's all well and good, but it would have been nice if it could have made major difference in April and May.
To play Wolski out, here's a video from Hockey Day in Canada, previously postedo on this blog:

A new malware intelligence system developed at Georgia Tech Research Institute (GRTI) is helping government agencies and private companies share threat intelligence and work together to understand attacks. Dubbed Titan, the system allows member organizations to submit threat data and to collaborate on malware analysis and classification.
Members contribute data anonymously so no one would know which specific organizations had been affected by the attack, Chris Smoak, project leader and branch head for malicious software analysis at GTRI's Cyber Technology and Information Security Lab, told SecurityWeek.
"You are asking people to submit information about targeted attacks, so anonymity is built-in to the platform," Smoak said.
In addition to receiving information about attacks affecting other organizations, members receive reports on malware samples they've already submitted, such as the potential harm, the likely source, the best remedy, and the risks posed by the sample. The analysis is based on what GTRI researchers learn by reverse-engineering the malware and other information that was compiled from other sources within the malware repository.
Titan is "not just for the technology professionals" as CSOs and CTOs are seeing how insights from Titan can be used to improve the organization's security, Smoak said. Executives and managers can decide how to allocate their spending dollars once they have a better understanding of what threats they face, he said.
Titan can highlight "hot button issues" and be used as a forecast tool. In one example scenario, Smoak outlined how analysts can correlate several threat indicators and figure out that a certain attack was hitting several universities at once. They may also be able to draw parallels with similar incident reports that have happened in the past and forecast that the attack will move to target financial services firms in a few months. This is the type of proactive intelligence members will have access to through Titan that they can use to prepare, Smoak said.
Comparing how companies use VirusTotal with how they can use Titan is a "fair comparison," Smoak said, but noted that Titan can do much more than the malware analysis site. Generally speaking, people can upload suspicious files to VirusTotal to find out if it is malicious, and whether existing security tools can detect it. However, there is no way for VirusTotal to look at two variants of malware and correlate it to say they are the same, while Titan can do that, Smoak said.
Many malware developers use polymorphism to dynamically generate slightly different versions of malware to avoid detection by traditional antivirus scanners. Under Titan, members would be able to see that incidents they thought involved different types of malware were actually all hit by the same one, Smoak explained.
Smoak described Titan as a "modular framework." With new types of malware and attack techniques emerging, techniques for analyzing these threats are evolving rapidly, he said. Titan is designed to let researchers build new modules to handle different analysis tasks as necessary. For example, even though Android malware is on the rise, there aren't many tools for dynamic automated analysis of mobile malware. Members could just build a module with the Titan API that can unpack and analyze the malware while still taking advantage of all the other features and information in the system, Smoak said.
There is more analysis and correlation capable in Titan, which is what makes it so valuable to members, Smoak said.
First unveiled in May, the system has been in public beta since then. The project currently has about 20 members and analyzes and classifies an average of 100,000 pieces of malicious code each day. A bulk of the malicious samples being analyzed is data provided by various sharing groups, Smoak said. Members submit five to 10 samples a week, Smoak said.
The system has "good critical mass," with members spanning government agencies and across the industry providing actual data that is useful, Smoak said. There is no push to add new members for the remainder of the beta period, Smoak said. The system will be expected to be final in "a few weeks," at which point the platform will likely be expanded to add more.
The fact that GTRI is a non-profit and academic institution has helped attract members, Smoak said. There are several other information sharing initiatives that have been launched in recent months, many of them by vendors. While the vendors are working hard to make the platform useful to everyone, there is some concern that the vendor may have some bias, and may be pushing a certain product to members, Smoak said. There may be no bias at all, but "perception drives results," Smoak said.
Members are vetted before they are allowed to participate. At the moment, there are no security companies using Titan, Smoak said, although he didn't see any reason why they wouldn't be able to get access if they asked to join.
Titan is also not currently partnering with companies such as RSA/Netwitness and Microsoft, who are working on their own projects to provide the industry with intelligence feeds containing information derived from botnets and other malicious network activity. Smoak said he would like to "talk with folks at Microsoft" to see how to make use of data, but nothing is in the works at this time.
The primary goal of Titan is to "keep the cost of data very low" and provide these insights and data analysis cheaply to members, Smoak said.
Businesses, large and small, often don't have the time and resources to analyze the threats hitting their environment or to operate their own threat analysis centers. Defenders have a difficult time fighting advanced targeted attacks without a way to share information with their counterparts.
Titan "fills the gap" and helps the organizations figure out what the current threats are "without breaking the bank," Smoak said.

This week there has been a debate about a popular benchmark for smartphones that could impact the battle between Intel and ARM. Things heated up on Wednesday when EE Times posted a story that basically questioned the validity of the widely-used AnTuTu Benchmark. We have used AnTuTu benchmark for smartphone reviews since 2012, so we started to pay attention to see what was going on. Many sites use the AnTuTu Benchmark to show which processor is fastest, so companies like Intel, ARM, NVIDIA, Qualcomm, Samsung and others want to be on top. It appears that some companies might be willing to pay or cheat their way to the top.
The EE Times story was written by analyst Jim McGregor of Tirias Research, who is a credible analyst that we have personally met and known for years. He recently noticed some discrepancies in a new version of the AnTuTu benchmark that made him to a double take. For years we have seen companies cheat on benchmarks when it comes to computers, so are companies cheating or making sure benchmarks are enhanced for their technology? After some digging he found that the ICC compiler introduced around version 2.9.4 of the AnTuTu benchmark was used just for the Intel processors. It appears that AnTuTu was aware that they were 'busted' and issued revision 3.2.2 to the benchmark Wednesday evening. Mr. McGregor went back and benchmarked AnTutu v3.3.1 versus v3.3.2 and the differences are rather alarming and it was clear that the benchmark favored Intel processors more than other companies.
His testing showed that on his Lenovo K900 smartphone and the Intel Atom Z2580 processor that his AnTuTu CPU and overall scores dropped by approximately 20 percent, while the AnTuTu RAM score plummeted by approximately 50 percent. It shouldn't come as a shock that Samsung S4 Oct and Qualcomm Snapdragon 600, both used in the Samsung Galaxy S4, remain relatively unchanged. Ouch!! Was Intel trying to put one over on ARM? The release notes of the latest build of AnTuTu Benchmark show that changes were made that 'Enhances the stability of scores'.
To make matters worse, we ran across this post on Berkeley Design Technology's (BDTI) Web site found that "the ARM-based [Samsung] Exynos processor performs all the operations specified in the benchmark source code, while the Intel Z2580 processor skips some steps." Guess what benchmark this issue was found on? The AnTuTu Benchmark once again. Double Ouch!
We all know that cheating on benchmarks has been a big deal when it comes to computers and it appears that trend will continue on the mobile side. It looks like we need better smartphone benchmarks that aren't bought off and offer good honest real world tests!

text: Just got done checking out Mike Maxwell's flickr page of his preview for his upcoming two person show with Paul Chatem at The Shooting Gallery, Until The Whistle Blows. I'm a big fan of the blues and grays Mike uses in his work. It's rad to see the progression of Mike's work in the photostream. The detail of the iron work is so beautiful, I personally really appreciate how he detailed all different sides of the work. Until The Whistle Blows portrays and illustrates each artist's interpretation of the 18th and 19th century Industrial Revolution. It should be a really cohesive, stellar show. The show opens July 11th and I'll post more as the show gets closer I'm sure.
