Corey Kollbocker: Just right. For both Gay and Sacramento.
Could Rudy have gotten more money? Probably. But after tumultuous stays in Memphis and Toronto, Gay seems to have finally found a home with the Kings. He's been playing the best basketball of his career, and, in concert with a blossoming Boogie Cousins, been producing wins in an exceedingly difficult Western Conference. Granted, it's early, but at 6-4 with a couple impressive wins under their belt, these revamped Kings look capable of competing for a playoff spot. Darren Collison has been a fantastic success, Ben McLemore is still showing flashes of promise, and they've somehow squeezed some truly effective minutes out of Omri Casspi.
But the reality is that the success of this team is directly attributable to Cousins and Gay, who have been on an absolute rampage. By signing this extension, the Kings are ensuring future flexibility while keeping their second star for the immediate future. Besides the max money they owe Cousins, they have few financial obligations. This gives them the opportunity to go out and sign the other star their roster surely needs. Maybe Rajon Rondo, maybe Greg Monroe, we shall see. But Sacramento, by shoring up Gay at a discount under the growing salary cap, has made themselves an attractive landing spot for free agents who want to play with elite talent.
And as I said, perhaps Gay could have gotten more money, but he knows the danger of signing an overlarge contract. After becoming an albatross in Memphis, he's been shunted around, the strongest player on weak teams, because despite his skill, his contract made him undesirable. If Gay wants to win, and it is clear that he does, this contract is absolutely fair. And if the situation turns sour, or Gay decides he wants more cash, his early termination option will allow him to break free just as the Salary Cap jumps in 2017. Coincidence? I think not.
Rashard Lewis opted out of the last two years of his 7-year, $70 million deal to sign an absurd 6-year, $116 million contract at age 28.
Similarly, Joe Johnson followed up his 5-year, $70 million deal with a whopping 6-year, $123 million extension even though he was already 31.
I feel like both Rashard and Joe felt underpaid for their careers, and looked for that last huge contract.
Which is why the last thing the Kings should do is make Gay, who is 28 and entering the end of his prime, feel underpaid over the next three years. Gay is making $19 million in the final year of a nice 5-year $80 million deal. In today's NBA, Rudy is worth at least $15 million per year, but the Kings should have overpaid him with a 3-year, $60 million deal so that Gay might sign for a discount in the future when the team actually might have a chance of contending.
The Kings currently don't have enough cap space nor the pieces to bring a marquee free agent to Sacramento. By the end of Rudy's contract, the younger players like DeMarcus Cousins and Ben McLemore will have fully developed, and the Kings might have enough talent to make Gay want to stay, even if it costs him a little on his next contract. Sacramento has a lot of financial flexibility in 2016-17, leaving them with a ton of options. It's going to be interesting to see how they play things out.
But why do I think he's worth so much?
Rudy has finally found a nice fit. He's on a young team that likes to run and shoot, the polar opposite of the slow-paced Memphis Grizzlies. While Gay was in Memphis, Mike Conley was the heart of the offense, masterfully controlling the tempo. They continually pounded the ball into the post with Z-Bo and Gasol, and it worked. But Rudy only fit in with the gritty Grizzlies because of his dominant defense, never feeling comfortable offensively.
They didn't want him there and decided to ship him to Toronto, where he'd only play 51 games. When the Kings acquired Gay, I don't know if they expected him to get comfortable so quickly, but he did. Even though he arrived mid-season, he was able to shoot a career-high 48% for 55 games while also dishing out a career-high 3.1 assists.
This season, he's gotten even better. He's averaging 22.5 points, 6.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists, also all career-highs. And even though his field goal percentage is down to 45%, which is still very solid, he's averaging a career-high 7.5 free throw attempts per game. This has boosted his true shooting percentage up to 56.8%, another career best. Statistics have never been Rudy Gay's best friend, but even the numbers show Gay's improved efficiency in his new role in Sacramento.
The Kings have solid young pieces like Collison, McLemore, and Stauskas, but it's DeMarcus Cousins and Rudy Gay that are carrying the team, as they actually look like playoff contenders. Considering how far the Kings have come since acquiring Gay, I feel that this deal shows that he's a little bit underappreciated.
Rudy is a true two way player, and I'm afraid he signed this deal with the hope of proving himself once again. Like I stated earlier, players are still looking for money in their 30s, and mediocre teams, like the Kings, prove over and over again that they are willing to take financial gambles on veteran players to take the next step.
At first, I was inclined to say too low, especially when considering two other small forwards who just inked new contracts this past summer: Gordon Hayward and Chandler Parsons.
Hayward signed a max extension worth $63 million over 4 years, while the Rockets declined to match the Mavericks' offer of $46 million over 3 years for Parsons. That's about $16 million annually for the former and $15 million for the latter. Gay will make less than both, but why? He is one of the better wings in the NBA and on the same level as the other two guys.
Hayward and Parsons may be more well-rounded on the offensive end, as they are both strong playmakers for the wing position. However, Gay is probably the best pure scorer out of the three, and is definitely the best defender thanks to his freakish athleticism.
The main reason I feel that this deal is just right, instead of too low, is Gay's age. While he is only 28-years old and in the middle of his prime, athletic wings tend to decline rapidly once they get over the hill. Take Andre Iguodala and Luol Deng for example. They are 30 and 29-years old respectively, but both have already fallen off quite a bit. In their defense, Iguodala's role has been dramatically reduced with all the talent around him, and Deng is closer to 33 in basketball years as he entered the draft as a 19-year old and was run into the ground by Coach Thibodeau in Chicago (he led the league in minutes per game in 2011-12 and 2012-13). However, this is a bit of an ominous sign.
I don't expect Gay's play to decline like the other two; he has stayed healthy for most of his career and has a defined role on the Kings as their second option on offense. But still, a lot can happen in three years.

Rep. Adam Smith calls for impeachment inquiry
SEATTLE (AP) — Rep. Adam Smith is the second member of Washington's congressional delegation to call for an impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.
The Seattle Times reports that Smith, a Bellevue Democrat, changed his mind after the events of the past several weeks, saying the president has continued his efforts to obstruct justice and undermine Congress.
Democratic Rep. Pramila Jayapal of Seattle is the only other member of Washington's delegation to call for the start of impeachment proceedings.
More than 70 House Democrats have called for an impeachment inquiry, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has declined to go along.

The Winds Of Good Fortune Favored Reggie Jagers
July 2018 by Jeff Hollobaugh
Reggie Jagers ended his Kent State career on a high note with an NCAA runner-up finish last year.
Reggie Jagers had always showed talent at throwing things, so back when he was a high school junior doing winter conditioning for football, he was naturally intrigued when he saw some of his classmates whipping a discus around. "I was always good at projectile throwing anything," he recalls, "so I figured it wouldn't be too hard."
That first year at Solon High School, just outside of Cleveland, he threw in the 160s. A year later, he hit 188-6 and placed 5th in the Ohio State Meet and 2nd in the USATF Junior Olympics. Then, in his first year at Kent State, he made it to the NCAA, placing 18th and later that summer he won a bronze medal at the Pan-Am Juniors. "When I made my first U.S. team," he says, "I realized that track would be my bread and butter. That's why I stopped doing football."
Jump forward a few years, and NFL scouts visiting the Kent State campus for pro day wondered why the big guy was eating birthday cake just before the 40 trials. "Aren't you going to get ready? You're eating cake," one said to him.
"No man, I do track & field," he responded.
As a junior, working with throws coach Nathan Fanger, Jagers finished 7th in the NCAA. Last year, he led until the final round, finishing 2nd with a PR 205-1 (62.51). With his move to the pro ranks, Jagers felt very confident about his chances this season. "Coming out of college every year I would get hurt towards the end of the season, recover from injury and then come back and still do pretty well at the NCAA Championships," he says. "We knew there were good things there, but the timing of things was being affected."
In January the 6-2/260 (1.88/118) Jagers—with a degree in sports administration (minors in business & marketing)—started working out at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista. "I knew that coming from Cleveland, Ohio, and moving out to Cali that I would have a lot of good weather. I'd be able to combat the southern throwers who would have a full season outside versus me who would have like 3 months outside. So I knew that this would be a breakthrough year alone just from having good weather around me and good training partners. I've been throwing 67–69 [220–225ft] in practice since the end of January."
Jagers guides much of his own program, though he works with John Dagata in Chula Vista. That has been a gradual trust-building process on both sides. After a challenging start, he says, "It became a growing process of me and him learning each other and him instilling trust in me that I can get it done and that I know what I'm talking about." He explains, "This gets all about body awareness and the proper angles and stuff like that. Americans seem to complicate it and the foreigners seem to make it simple and that's how they throw far. We try to make like rocket science. But when you talk to any foreign coach, they say simplify."
Jagers credits Fanger for putting him on the course to be tuned into his own training: "He instilled in me how to control my own destiny." But he admits this season has been a struggle at times, "It's actually been kind of a frustrating year because I basically went 65m every meet this year but three and in those meets it was a very strong right-hand wind." And therein lies the rub. Jagers is a lefty. Most discus rings are oriented to take advantage of prevailing winds in order to provide advantageous conditions for most throwers, which generally translates to right-handed throwers. And still in all 9 of his outdoor meets to date in '18, Jagers has surpassed his PR from the previous year.
Give a thrower like Jagers the occasional helpful wind—as happened on some of the throws in Des Moines, and you might see something even better. Discus fans at nationals not only saw him move to No. 16 ever among U.S. throwers, they also saw the farthest throw in world history for a lefty. His 225-1 (68.61) added a foot to the old best of 224-1 (68.30) set by Sweden's Stefan Fernholm in '87. Now there are just 47 right-handers between Jagers and the ultimate longest throw.
"That record was definitely good to break," says Jagers. "Those guys they were so great, those were the only guys that I would watch early on as well. When people are watching me throw, it's hard for them to see what I do wrong because I'm left-handed. Obviously if I'm my only reference, it's hard for me to see my imperfections as well, but they're glaring, and when you switch it over to right-handed view using applications on my phone, it has definitely helped me see the errors of my throwing."
Given the right-handed nature of the event, Jagers may pose a bigger threat to the podium than he will to the record book. Of his USATF win, he says, "The swirling wind was definitely a good thing. When [right-handers] don't have a good wind to their liking, they just won't throw far because mentally they feel like without that great wind they can't go far. And me being left-handed, I've been in deficit winds all my career. So I just know whenever there's a comparable wind, equal wind or anything like that, I'm definitely going to win. I know when it's a right-handed wind I've just got to throw a little bit harder to get that victory."
He laughs and adds, "I wish there were wind legal throws in the discus—I would be No. 1 in the world for sure. It's just crazy how much the wind can affect you. If I'm going against a good right-handed thrower in their wind and I'm still beating them, it just shows that you've got to be really locked in and ready to compete at your best, highest level."
Of course, World Championships and Olympics are held in stadia that typically minimize the effects of discus wind. That's why the Olympic Record of 229-3 (69.89) and the WC Record of 230-2 (70.17)—both held by Virgilijus Alekna—don't even crack the all-time top 70 in the event.
That thought encourages Jagers, who is also buoyed when he gets feedback from European coaches who occasionally see him throw at Chula Vista. "Those guys always give me confidence that when I get to those big championship meets I'll do well," he says.

Another motivator for Jagers? His younger brother Phil, who threw for Akron. Born 364 days later, the right-hander with a best of 205-9 (62.71) placed 7th at USATF. "There's a sibling rivalry there," says Reggie. "We've been competing at things our whole lives."
In Des Moines, "I remember I was heading out there because I was in the second flight. He was in the first flight, I hear that he's in the lead of the competition. I'm really surprised, I'm like, 'OK, Phillip, 61m, alright.' It really got me going too because seeing that he was up there, I just wanted to go out there and back him up."
In the end, winning the USATF title was huge for Jagers, especially after his '17 experience finishing 7th with a strained groin muscle. "Five days before the U.S. championships. I'm out there on one leg. I was really disappointed because it took 199-8 (60.87) to make the World Championships team. I was disappointed that I wasn't able to showcase that.
"I feel like your failures make you for the next year as well. So failing last year at the wrong time definitely made me hungry for this year to prove myself to people. People say it's an off year, but I say it's an off year if you don't want to better yourself. Making these big teams, if you're not the No. 1 guy, all the other guys feel like it's an off year. So I made sure I was the No. 1 guy coming in."

Switching gateway providers is actually quite simple. It varies by provider but the goal is to integrate your new gateway securely, quickly and with minimal fuss.
Your new provider should liaise with your tech team to identify the smoothest route to launch. Each provider will have a slightly different process, but they generally involve the same key steps.
Switching with BlueSnap, for example, happens in two simultaneous phases – the contracting phase and the technical integration phase. We do it this way to eliminate business disruption further down the line.
The contracting phase deals with legal and operational issues, such as business validation and underwriting – a key step in the process that not all payment gateways handle up-front. The technical integration phase is all about the nuts and bolts of completing the switch.
You're understandably cautious about switching, so the first step is to make an enquiry. Finding out what other providers have to offer is diligent, whether you decide to switch or not. In our experience, if you're already thinking about it, your provider might not be doing enough.
Once you decide you do want to switch and to whom, you'll most likely have a kick-off meeting with your new supplier. This is where your transition team will start scoping the project and advising on any steps needed to make the switch as smooth as possible.
Your kick-off meeting should be informal, informative and transparent. BlueSnap introduces new clients to their implementation engineer at this stage. This person is their point of contact for everything going forward. Not every gateway provider is able to provide a single point of contact, so double-check if this happens to be important to you.
Once you've agreed to work with a new payment gateway provider, the key switching phases can get underway. Here's how our process looks.
The contracting phase doesn't influence the technical integration phase, but it's best to get as much contracting completed before launch as possible. There are two key elements to the contracting phase.
You'll need to provide some documentation so your new gateway provider can confirm that your business is in good-standing. For us, this means three months' worth of processing statements and proof of business beneficiary. The latter here is very important as it helps payment gateways meet their anti-money laundering and anti-fraud obligations.
This stage is crucial. The underwriting process should start as soon as contracts are signed, but that's not the case with every provider. Some providers outsource underwriting to large banks, who can take a while to get the job done. Other providers auto-approve new customers and temporarily skip underwriting. In some cases, skipped underwriting can lead to your account being frozen further down the line.
This is your chance to vet new suppliers, get a sense of how your new gateway will look and feel and try out new concepts and functionality. You'll be able to share this space with your own colleagues so everyone has a thorough understanding of the capabilities and functionality on offer.
This is where things get real. You can still make modifications and add functionality at this stage, but it's not as easy as doing so in the developer testing phase.
Payment and customer data and billing information are ported over from your previous payment gateway provider. A good gateway provider should have no issue migrating all of this data seamlessly, and securely regardless of where it was previously stored.
And we're nearly there…The scope of QA testing is down to you. You can spend as much or as little time as you like testing your new payment gateway, although time required would typically depend on the complexity and functionality of your gateway solution. In some cases, an afternoon of testing at your end is enough to get you up and running.
Once testing is complete, your provider should begin sending small amounts of traffic through your new payment gateway. This is to assess that everything is working smoothly across your site. Once the integration team is satisfied that your new gateway can handle the traffic, they'll ramp it up until it's at full capacity, then they'll switch off your old gateway.

In asymmetric photochemistry (also called photochirogenesis) light is used to synthesise asymmetric molecules. Circularly polarized light is chiral and processes like circular dichroism exploit the difference in absorption of UV radiation between two optical isomers. All the more reason chemists have been exploring asymmetric photochemistry for over 80 years.

Programmed Releases Business Update and Outlook for FY16
Feb 04, 2016 By Simon Herrmann
Tags: PRG
The staffing, maintenance and facility management provider, Programmed Maintenance Services Limited (ASX:PRG) released a business update and outlook for FY16.
The company stated that its customers from retailing, tourism, transportation and manufacturing industries have shown a weak demand in the past few years. However, the demand is now rising, as these companies have started hiring more people and are expanding their assets. Programmed also stated that it has seen an increase in demand for its staff and maintenance services, which now represents two-thirds of group revenue.
On the other hand, the demand for labour in energy and resources sectors has declined as the companies have implemented cutbacks in their exploration and operating budgets, following the rout in commodity prices.
In October 2015, Programmed acquired Skilled Group, in order to improve customer diversification and lower its unit costs along with achieving organic growth. Programmed mentioned that the integration of the acquired business is proceeding ahead of its plan, as it expects to realise cost savings of approximately $30 million per annum, by 31 March 2016.
Programmed's managing director, Chris Sutherland, explained more about the business performance: "The further reduction in demand from the resources sector, an in particular from the offshore oil and gas sector following the recent steep decline in oil and gas prices, has impacted both the former Programmed and Skilled parts of the business. In this environment, the benefits of combining both organisations and realising cost savings are particularly important, while the company delivers its long-term strategy to develop a larger scale, more efficient, leading provider of staffing, maintenance and facility management services serving all sectors of the economy."
FY16 Guidance
Programmed anticipates to report group EBITA for FY16 of approximately $65 million, before one-off non-trading costs and amortisation.
The company also expects to recognise a non-cash impairment charge of approximately $75 million, due to the sale of vessels operated by its Marine division. Furthermore, a non-cash amortisation expense of approximately $10 million is forecasted to arise from the acquisition of Skilled and the accounting value of brands, contract intangibles and customers. Depreciation and interest expense for FY16 are expected to be approximately $16 million and $12 million respectively.
The gloomy outlook has sent PRG sliding more than 6% upon opening, as at 10:10 AM (AEDT).

New site lets you get a side-by-side comparison of camera models, which could save a lot of time for shopping shutterbugs.
Shopping for a new shooter? Newly launched Web site Camera Size lets shutterbugs compare two camera models head to head.
After a user makes a selection from dual dropdown menus, the site displays a visual comparison of the cameras, together with information such as width and height, as well as how much larger/smaller one model is.

As diggers moved into Birmingham to start preparation work for HS2, senior figures within the Conservative Party have been at odds over whether the high-speed rail network should go ahead.
Splits have begun to widen within the cabinet on the feasibility and cost impact of the £56bn project which had the first phase between London and Birmingham formally approved by parliament 18 months ago.
It comes as the transport secretary Chris Grayling headed north over the weekend to meet with construction workers at the Old Curzon Street station site in Birmingham where work began on building the HS2 terminal.
A defiant Grayling said the start of work was an "important moment in the history of rail travel" within the UK and seeing the start of work on the first railway to be built north of London for over 100 years was incredible for the future of the country.
His comments come just a few days after the former foreign secretary Boris Johnson suggested the line should be halted in favour of a focus on poor northern transport links which continue to frustrate commuters.
In an interview with the Sunday Times, Johnson, said: "There are projects we should have on transport in the north of the country that ought to take precedence over HS2," Johnson said. "It's crazy how long it takes to get east-west across the country."
While its understood that Commons leader Andrea Leadsom in a cabinet meeting last week was hesitant to support the project and wants ministers to rethink plans with escalating costs at the heart of issues.
However business secretary Greg Clarke has reacted strongly to the negativity by saying ending the HS2 quest would be the "completely wrong approach". Speaking at a fringe event at the Conservative Party conference, he said: "One of the upsetting criticisms, I think, of successive governments in the UK is that we haven't got on and invested in supporting infrastructure for the economy. We've made a decision to invest in HS2 - I think it's important that we follow through with that."

The quiet atmosphere was electrifying. All you could hear was the low deep hum of thirty four Toyota 86 Race Series cars, lined up bumper to bumper like a long colourful decaled train.
Exhaust fumes lingered in the air from ad-hoc revs. The drivers were prepared, geared-up, focussed and on alert in the marshalling area. Countdown was close as they waited for the wave of the green flag to go onto the track and commence their formation lap before the race start. The accompanying support crew cars were aligned parallel, in readiness to reach the pit lane. You could feel the tension and anticipated excitement as spectators watched, waiting for the signal.
Townsville's 26 degree winter was perfect for the first race of the day. For two of the drivers, it was their first performance in this particular capacity and the only females in the male dominated arena. Although they were from diverse backgrounds they shared a common denominator, they wanted to win and they had earned their positions on the grid.
Earlier that morning I spoke with Emily Duggan and Madison Dunston, they were more than capable of holding their own. They appeared cool and relaxed as they spoke about racing like we speak about driving down the street to the local shops. However their unspoken confidence was evident.
An independent, driven, 26 year old from Sydney. She has her own Emily Duggan Racing team having bought and built up a Toyota 86 that she will run in the remaining rounds of the 2018 season. She has no previous background in car racing and didn't start her career in karting or Formula Ford so it meant Emily has needed to work harder. She is fully committed and now in her fifth year since she began.
Her passion started in her Hyundai Excel. "You put the foot down and it actually goes pretty hard believe it or not. Four years ago I decided life is too short to not go after your passion and live out your dreams". Emily researched various cars and decided that Supercars (pinnacle in Aust motorsport) was the way to go after watching them on TV, loved it and wanted to drive one.
The V8's are expensive so starting with the next category; the Toyota T86RS, was a perfect option for Emily. "It is professionally run, has an outstanding amount of coverage as a Virgin Supercars Championship support category and being a one-make series means the results are determined by driver ability".
Emily is strong, determined and has clear objectives. She is committed, disciplined, passionate, focussed, balanced, intelligent, knowledgeable, confident and cares about her team. Emily is quick to recognise that her success is attributed to their incredible skill and support, none of which she could achieve without them.
"Sponsorship is something that is extremely hard to get, and I don't think that it is easy for anyone in motor sport or any driver to get". Emily doesn't rely on family or friends, and has minimal help in terms of chasing sponsorship. "It is all about going out to network events, meeting people, creating relationships. Basically getting them to live out your dream".
Her belief, " for a hundred no's, you may receive one yes". In 2016 she approached 300 businesses and eventually received three yes's. "You have to keep going, you bank them up". Lachlan, one of her team members provides media articles support and she just keeps persisting.
Only recently Emily has sought mentors now she has hit the big league and enlisted Power To Potential to occasionally assist on preparation for race events. "I need to be relaxed and happy when racing. If stressed, it affects my driving. I need to be mentally prepared. Every time I get into my car I do it to the best of my ability".
Emily sometimes turns to specific individuals and for this series experienced Supercar drivers Jason Barbwire and Warren Luff have been helpful. Jason has been great with the Toyota 86 Series and is a mentor for everyone however "at end of the day we are all competitors".
Future aspirations; to retire in five years after winning races in the V8 championship. Get pole positions and have silver-ware (trophies) sitting in her lounge room, but it is a long road ahead.
What does Emily normally drive at home? "A Nissan Pulsar 2001 automatic" she laughs. All her money is spent on racing but it gets her from A to B. The Nissan is loaded with all her track gear, no room for guests or boyfriends. Front seat carries a jerry can of petrol.
Mechanical engineer, Sarah Drage, is one of Emily's key cogs in the wheel and stands quietly in the background. I am in awe of them both and felt a strong bond from our first encounter. On our second catch up I was already wearing an 84 Emily Duggan polo shirt.
A 19 year old local Townsville girl. She secured her first ride last weekend in her Townsville leased car from Gavan Reynolds' Newcastle-based Denstoj Racing team and is hoping to be able to compete in the full season in 2019.
In contrast, Madison has been racing competitively since she received her first kart as a birthday present at age seven and with an innate ability and three generations of family motorsport heritage, she secured many regional and state titles.
In 2016, Madison stepped up into the Aussie Racing Cars Championships and notes her outing at Symmons Plains in Tasmania last year as a career highlight. She reached the first top 10 in Qualifying and took home her very first trophy in the Aussie Race Car Series. Madison was keen to get into the Toyota 86 last weekend with incredible support from her sponsors, family and fans and it is "another step in pursuing my dream to drive Supercars," she said.
Madison's inspirations come from her father, he is her biggest role model; he puts her into the competitive mode to do the best she can. She smiles and comments that boys respect her until she beats them, but normally they are nice to her. She also watches Simona de Silvestro in the V8 Supercars who inspires her as a female driver.
She chose the T86RS as this race was in her home town, but found the car a lot bigger as it was the first time to drive one. However as soon as Madison puts on her helmet "she doesn't look nor think of anything else". She has some fear and gets nervous until she hits the accelerator and admitted it is a great adrenaline kick.
These ambitious young women are a force to be reckoned with, watch out boys!
Remaining 2018 races: The Bend Supersprint August 24-26, Sandown 500 September 14-16, Bathurst 1000, October 4-7 and finally Newcastle 500 November 23-25. Regular updates, https://toyota.com.au/86/racing-series.

For the first time in many, many years I found Communications (July 2008) both friendly to the reader and useful. Over the years, the physical form and font of the issues were very unfriendly, let alone the content, which was quite rarified. Not this latest issue. The redesign makes the physical attributespaper (non-glossy, yeah!), layout, and font very approachable. And the content is just great. Real concrete stuff to learn and use!
Makes me happy to have persevered as a member during the past 10 years!
Deepak Kenchammana, San Jose, CA
Thanks for the good work in revising Communications for readability and attractiveness. The new online format is very compelling as well. Readability for me is way up, and I like the catchy use of color.
Alex Lancaster, Arlington, VA
I don't have time to adequately express my thoughts on the new design for Communications. About all I can say is, "Wow, I am impressed!" The content is so rich. Definitely a better magazine.
David Brown, Denver, PA
I received my print copy of the July Communications and wanted to let you know how much I dislike the new three-column layout and reduced font size. I have been a member of ACM for over 25 years and have always enjoyed thumbing though every issue of Communications, reading articles here and there. Trying to read the new version was not enjoyable.
Has your design team forgotten that a lot of us ACM members are in our 50s, 60s, and 70s, and can't comfortably read small, wedged-together print?

Catalan Is a Different Latin Language
I found it astonishing that the article "Web Searching in a Multilingual World" by Wingyan Chung (May 2008) included (in Table 2) the following claim: "Catalan (another version of Spanish) is widely used as well." A language spoken in the same country as another language is not necessarily "a version" of the other language. Catalan is, like French, Spanish, and Italian, a "different" Latin language, spoken not only in Spain but also in France and Andorra where it is the official language.
Alberto Gonzalez Tellez,
Behavior Reinforcement is an Empirical Issue
Although the concepts were presented correctly in the section called "Feedback and learning from security-related decisions" in Ryan West's article "The Psychology of Security" (Apr. 2008), the definitions were incorrect. Reinforcements, both positive and negative, motivate behavior. The nagging messages regarding, say, Windows update availability can be seen as negative reinforcement. Users then update the operating system, and the message goes away. The same users would be more likely to update in the future if the message itself were, indeed, reinforcing.
Consequences that inhibit certain behavior are punishments, either positive (something "good" happens) or negative (something "bad" is removed). Nothing should be assumed in advance to be reinforcing or punishing. Determining which is which is always an empirical issue. Only by studying how users actually respond to feedback from the interface can system developers truly understand how the interface affects their behavior. Otherwise, like a school principal wondering why students sent regularly to the "office" for "punishment" continue to misbehave, they will be left scratching their heads.
Timothy Dunnigan, San Diego, CA
Author's Response:
Thanks to Dunnigan for the correction. The distinction simply slipped my mind.
Ryan West, Round Rock, TX
The Price of Eternal Vigilance
Essentially the same quote was attributed to two different people, one in an article, the other in a column, in the same issue (Mar. 2008). The article "The Illusion of Security" by David Wright et al. ended with: "As Thomas Jefferson said, 'The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.'" The "Inside Risks" column by Xiaming Lu and George Le-din, Jr., began with: "When Wendell Phillips...told a Boston audience in 1852 that 'Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty'..."
A bit of Google-sleuthing found that although the quote is sometimes attributed to Jefferson, Tom Paine, and Patrick Henry, its first documented use was probably by Phillips (Bartleby. corn's Dictionary of Quotations, www.bartleby.com/73/1073.html).
Further muddying the issue, wikiquote.org (en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Leonard_H._Courtney) claims the quote originated with Leonard Henry Courtney (18321918), a British baron, politician, and statistician.

Fernando Alonso insists McLaren's decision not to compete full-time in IndyCar next year changes nothing for him, as he never wanted to complete the whole season in the first place.
Speculation about Alonso's possible move to IndyCar has been rife since he announced his decision to retire from Formula 1 at the end of the 2018 season.
McLaren has been known to be working on a plan to enter the series full-time, but team boss Zak Brown confirmed on Friday that it had given up on the idea for now.
"We are simply not ready yet and we are very focused on F1. So we won't be doing that in 2019," Brown said in Austin ahead of the United States Grand Prix.
"We do have a desire to do it, as I have mentioned before, in the near future."
Brown acknowledged an Indianapolis 500 entry remained on the cards, saying it was something that Alonso "would like to do as well".
Although McLaren's planned full-time entry was always linked to Alonso, the Spaniard made it clear his intention was never to complete all of the 2019 season.
"A full IndyCar season was never an option that I wanted because of the implication it carries," said Alonso.
"I would like to race in IndyCar one day but not next year. Seventeen races, all of them in America, learning everything from zero.
"That dedication and the kind of work that is required was never in my plans so therefore that McLaren has ruled it out is about the team.
"If they were to enter IndyCar full-time it was never going to be with me, so it changes nothing.
"You found out today and I knew since August, so it doesn't affect me at all.
"I tested the car in September to see what the car was like, but there was no implication for the future, as I had already said.
"When he said that today I read 'A setback for Alonso', etc. There's no setback at all. It was never in my plans and it doesn't change anything."
So far Alonso has only committed to finishing the 2018-19 WEC superseason with Toyota, but is yet to announce any plans beyond that.
He insists, however, that his programme is clear and that he only needs to finalise some details.
"My programme for next year has been clear for several months, but we have to close some things and some plans in some categories and with some brands. When everything is in place I'll announce it."

Cats Are the Cutest Guides to Japan
Filed to: catsFiled to: cats
kotakueast
Ever dream of visiting Japan? Wonder what it's like in spring? Or fall? Here, let these cats show you.
These cats are the "image characters" for Jalan, a travel site in Japan. The older cat is "Nyalan" ("nya" is "meow" in Japanese), and his apprentice is "Deshi." They've appeared in commercials for a while now in Japan, but what I really love is the Nyalan_Jalan Twitter feed.
The photos are terrific. You can really get a good idea of the typical things Japanese people like to do in spring, summer, fall, and winter. There are seasonal flowers blooming, seasonal food, and seasonal activities—whether that's flying a kite during New Year's or watching the cherry blossoms.
Not every activity is unique to Japan (of course!) and this is an idealized depiction (of course!). Still, the cats show how Japanese people usually view each part of the year. Here, have a look:

St Boniface Kirk, Papa Westray - photograph by Douglas Hourston
St Boniface Kirk
Now restored, St Boniface Kirk is set in an important ecclesiastic site dating back to the 8th century. It stands above the rocky shore towards the north west of Papa Westray. It has Iron Age, Pictish and later remains nearby, dating from the 6th century BC to 12th century AD. A Norse hog-back gravestone and two Early Christian cross-slabs found in the Kirkyard all combine to indicate a site of great significance.

Interior view of restored church - photograph by Douglas Hourston
The Kirk is dedicated to St Boniface (675 to 754 AD) a famous teacher and missionary, working in Friesia and Germany, becoming a bishop in 722 AD and archbishop in 732 AD. He established many new churches, monasteries and bishoprics before being murdered in 754 AD.
One interpretation of the story of St Boniface Kirk on Papay involves the Pictish King Nechtan who was conversion to the Roman Church around 715 AD. He formed an alliance with the kingdom of Northumbria and invited the clergy to establish a well ordered Christian mission through his domain. Many churches and monasteries were on or near the sites of brochs, iron age fortified towers, indicating an important place of power. This is the case with St Boniface Kirk.
As St Boniface met his fate whilst the mission to convert the Picts was spreading its network of churches and monasteries in the north, to Orkney and Shetland, the church built on Papay may have been dedicated to him at this time.
Beach Find Reveals Its Saintly Past
A CHANCE find by holidaymakers on a remote Orkney beach has turned out to be a major archaeological discovery.
The "unexciting" stone picked up by Julia and Russel Webb has been identified as part of a corner-post shrine - a stone box which would have contained the remains of a saint.
"It's a very significant discovery, " Dr. Raymond Lamb, Orkney's resident archaeologist, said yesterday.
"It confirms an historical Christian link between Orkney and Shetland."
Mr and Mrs Webb, from Aldeby in Suffolk, found the stone during a summer visit to Papa Westray. It was lying on a beach near the ancient kirk of St Boniface.
After its significance was recognised by Dr Lamb, it has now gone on display at Tankerness House Museum in Kirkwall.
He said the fragment dated from the eighth century. At that timeshrines containing relics were used as crowd pullers by churches - by touching them , people hoped to cure a range of illnesses.
Its discovery in Papa Westray shows Orkney and Shetland were being drawn towards the Pictish heartland of the eighth century," said Dr Lamb.
"We think St Boniface would have been a religious house or monastery and this confirms the link with two daughter houses in Shetland on St Ninian's island and at Papil on West Burra.
St Boniface would have been the Pictish bishopric of Orkney and Shetland as part of the Church of Rome."
Dr Lamb said it seemed likely the shrine would have been smashed and the fragments scattered during the Reformation in the 16th century.
"THe piece of stone is about the size of the palm of your hand," he added. It's very unexciting to look at and not something that's obviously significant. But part of a cross can be seen on it as well as a Pictish rectangle symbol." (Aberdeen Press and Journal, January 19 1994)
St Boniface Kirk is the only church in Orkney, apart from St Magnus Cathedral, to survive the Reformation and remain in use in the present day. The kirk was abandoned in 1929, but maintained until 1944. The building was restored in 1993 and is regularly used for services and concerts.
There is a display of photographs and a ceramic tile plaque designed by the children of Papay in the kirk.
Rededication service at ancient church> By David Hartley.
A 20-YEAR dream was fulfilled on the small Orkney island of Papa Westray at the weekend with a rededication service at an ancient church.
St Boniface Kirk, founded in the 8th century to convert the Picts of Orkney and Shetland to Christianity, was abandoned in the 1920s.
Without a massive fundraising effort by an island with a population of just over 70, it had been destined to become a heap of rubble.
"Until just a few years ago it was a ruin," said Jim Rendall, chairman of Papa Westray Community Council.
"The roof had gone completely and the walls were in danger of falling down.
"As far back as 20 years ago, we wanted to do something about it."
But it has taken until now - and thanks to a fantastic fundraising effort - to get a new roof, the walls amde wind and watertight and a new gallery and pulpit installed.
A weekend of celebrations culminated yesterday with a service of rededication conducted by the Rev Mary Spowart, the Church of Scotland minister for Westray and Papa Westray until 1991.
"I made the point that there comes a time when you have a special opportunity to do good," she said.
"That's what the islanders have done here. But for them this wonderful church would have become a pile of stones and a memorial of the past.
Thanks to them seizing an opportunity to do good, they have created something very special for the future."
The restored kirk will now be offered for use on an ecumenical basis to islanders and visitors alike.
Inside, a mural featuring St Boniface sailing on a voyage has been created out of 54 tiles hand-made by Papa Westray School pupils Sam Cursiter (5), Gary Stove and Stewart McNabb, both 9, and Jonathan Flett (11).
"We felt that we wanted to give something to the kirk to commemorate the rededication that would also be long lasting," head teacher Christine Hopkins said.
"They all worked really hard and it's been wonderful to see something so lovely that they've created on the wall of the kirk." (Aberdeen Press and Journal 6 June 1994)

To put things into perspective I was in a group of three 18 year olds looking to house share. We all had conditional jobs that depended on our A levels so I knew finding an agent who would be so willing and patient to help us would be very challenging!
Fortunately for us Lesley was so helpful. I had contacted other agents in the area but MLK Properties stood out from the rest, Lesley's approach was very considerate and personal and she put a lot of time and effort in to help guide us through the process. For all of us it was our first time renting so we had a lot of questions to ask but Lesley was easy to contact and always so patient. Our situation must have been stressful at times but it was handled very efficiently, we couldn't have asked for a better service!
