My Top 10 Picks of tourist attractions and places to explore and enjoy in Huntsville and northern Alabama is for the out-of-towner and the local resident. Are you having out-of-town guests for the weekend? You can entertain them with one of my Top 10 pick of the best local tourist attractions and signtseeing in and near Huntsville. Find out more about the U.S. Space & Rocket Center, Huntsville Botanical Garden, Unclaimed Baggage Center, Burritt on the Mountain, Cathedral Caverns, Ave Maria Grotto, Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament and many more great places to visit.
1. U. S. Space & Rocket CenterThis is a must-see for first-time visitors to Huntsville. There are not many cities that can put on such a display as the big Saturn V rocket standing outside the Space Museum. For the more adventuresome tourist with a few days or a week to spare, a residency at Space Camp will always be a fond memory.
2. Huntsville/Madison County Botanical GardenThe Botanical Garden has special features all year round. May and October are the best months for viewing the flowers and plants. The December Galaxy of Lights has won many awards for tourism in the Southeast.
3. Unclaimed Baggage Center in ScottsboroA 45-minute trip to Scottsboro is always on my list of places to take guests. They enjoy seeing this famous landmark that Oprah Winfrey once said "was the best kept shopping secret in America."
4. Burritt on the Mountain--A Living MuseumOne of the delights of Huntsville is seeing the history of the Tennessee Valley. The Burritt Museum offers not only the best view in Huntsville, but several log cabins and animals demonstrating how people lived in the second half of the 1800's.
5. Alabama Constitution VillageSince the Alabama Constitution was signed in Huntsville in 1819, it is only fitting that a whole village has sprung up to depict the life of Huntsville during the early 1800's. EarlyWorks Children Museum, Historic Huntsville Depot, and the Humphrey-Rodgers House are all located downtown and make up the EarlyWorks Museum Complex.
6. Weeden House MuseumMaria Howard Weeden was known worldwide for her paintings of black people. Her drawings were used for the costumes for slaves in "Gone With the Wind." Her Federal-style home is one of the oldest in Huntsville.
7. Cathedral Caverns State Park in Grant
Cathedral Caverns is now a State Park. This cave holds six world records and is located near Grant, Alabama. Be sure to go into Grant and have lunch at Mimi's Cafe.

Marcus Middleton scored on a 40-yard run and on a 67-yard touchdown pass from Dan Eckler. Imani Pina forced a fumble and recovered it in the endzone for a defensive touchdown. Click here for a full recap.
- It took more late game magic, but Sharon improved to 5-0 with a come-from-behind win at Canton (1-3) Friday night. Canton held a 14-0 lead through three quarters, but Sharon scored twice in the fourth to send the game into overtime, where the Eagles won with a touchdown. Sharon quarterback Sean O'Neill finished with three touchdown passes, two of which went to Brad Kaufman. Click here for a full recap.
- Mansfield (4-1) jumped out to a 21-7 lead over visiting Attleboro (4-1) in the first half of Friday night's game. However, the second half was a different story, as Attleboro mounted a strong comeback, but fell short. Mansfield's Kyle Wisnieski had a touchdown pass and run. Attleboro's Malique Clark scored three times. Missed extra points made the difference as Mansfield held on for the win. Click here for a full recap
- John Dillion threw for two touchdowns and Joe Johnston rushed for two scores as the King Philip Warriors (5-0) beat the Taunton Tigers (1-4) Friday night at home. KP scored on every drive but two. Click here for a full recap

I have a sort of personal post for you all today. It's not about the IceCaps, and to be honest it is only marginally about hockey.
On Wednesday, January 11th, we lost somebody, who despite his short time on this Earth has inspired everybody that has had the privilege of speaking with him.
His name is Joshua King. He was a 12-year-old Corner Brook native who was born with cystic fibrosis, a genetic disease that causes a buildup of fluid in the lungs and impacts many other organ systems as well. From the day he was born, Joshua struggled with his disease, enduring procedures and pain that could bring a man twice his age to the point of despair.
The most compelling aspect of Josh's personality however, was his ability to take it all in stride. Never one to make excuses, Josh would never be found with anything other than a smile on his face and a story on his lips. Joshua was my girlfriend's cousin. Over my 9 years with her, I have met him several times and heard countless stories about his endless enthusiasm for life. He was aware of the effects that his condition would have on the length of his life and seemed to relish in it by making the best of every single day. I have never been around a more intelligent, thoughtful, and respectful young man. I only wish I had the opportunity to get to know him even better.
Josh was an enormous hockey fan. In particular, he loved the Leafs. He got the chance to meet many of the players over the past few years at the Air Canada Centre with the Sick Kids program and it was thrilled to do so, regardless of why he was in that position in the first place. Josh loved to play hockey as well. When his condition deteriorated to the point where skating became difficult, Josh, who wanted nothing more than to continue playing the game he loved, switched to playing between the pipes. This is what hockey is about, folks.
Late last year, after years of waiting, Josh received a double-lung transplant. By the middle of this week, his young and fragile body could take the strain no longer.
With all of the talk these past few week about the Montreal Canadiens language disputes and All-Star snubs, it's easy to lose sight of what hockey is all about. As Josh showed throughout his life, hockey is about heart. Hockey is about the determination to fight through the toughest battles life can put in front of you, and keeping your head high when the going gets tough. It's not about media scuffles, politics, or managerial decisions – it's about doing what you have to do to play the game you love to play. This is how he played the game, this is how he lived his life.
Joshua King lived by these standards, and so should the rest of us.

Were you a LEGO-lover as a kid? If so, Radical Breeze thinks you'll find its new Illumination Software Creator 1.0, a visual software application builder, extremely intuitive. A user—even a non-programmer—can easily experiment with software building blocks, in a completely visual and understandable way, and create software that can be run on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows computers. The application converts visual concepts into source code. No virtual machine is involved. In addition, software built with Illumination Software Creator can be run as a rich Internet Web page or an Internet tablet application (for Nokia Internet Tablets). The languages utilized are Python and GTK for desktop and mobile applications, and JavaScript for Web applications.
Our old friend Robert Love, whose popular Kernel Korner column long graced these pages, has updated his classic book Linux Kernel Development to a new 3rd edition. Published by Addison-Wesley, this work details the design and implementation of the Linux kernel, presenting the content in a manner that is beneficial for those writing and developing kernel code, as well as for programmers seeking to better understand the operating system and become more efficient and productive in their coding. The book details the kernel's major subsystems and features, including its design, implementation and interfaces. It covers the Linux kernel with both a practical and theoretical eye, which is intended to appeal to readers with a variety of interests and needs. Updated content includes an all-new chapter on kernel data structures, details on interrupt handlers and bottom halves, extended coverage of virtual memory and memory allocation and more.
Hosting service providers may want to read on about the new LVE Wrappers from CloudLinux, tools that let the server owner control the exact CPU usage for individual users and applications. LVE Wrappers are based on CloudLinux's Lightweight Virtual Environment technology that allows administrators to control CPU usage on a server at the tenant or application level. It does so by isolating specific hardware resources in a lightweight container and prevents one tenant on a shared server from affecting others. LVE Wrappers, which start individual applications and dæmons inside LVE environments, allow for control of resources for each application, which allows for greater flexibility and stability on the overall server infrastructure. The software is available to all CloudLinux subscribers.
Authors Tony Mullen and Claudio Andaur have set out to prove that the amazing open-source 3-D animation software Blender isn't just for hobbying anymore. Their new book Blender Studio Projects: Digital Movie-Making, now out from Sybex, shows readers how to do on Blender what one typically has done with high-end (and high-priced) apps Maya and 3ds Max. Sybex bills the book as "a real-world, roll-up-your-sleeves guide that plunges straight into step-by-step instructions designed to help you build skills and create solid assets for film, video and games." The companion DVD includes starter, intermediate and final files, as well as movie files to help you every step of the way.
Managing ERP apps can require the patience of Job, which is why CAST Software released its new Analysis and Measurement Software for SAP, Siebel and PeopleSoft. The product's mission is to bring consistent and objective measurement of these platforms and eliminate costly customization errors in critical business applications. CAST's own studies of ERP installations showed a large percentage of issues that normally go undetected in functional testing and result in serious performance, stability and maintainability problems. For instance, 80% of database interactions in ERP installs are handled improperly, leading to significant business disruption. Environments like SAP, Siebel and PeopleSoft, says CAST, require a deceptively high level of customization. Because manual measurement of quality is expensive and time consuming, automation is useful for exposing flaws that cause applications to perform erratically.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

This site pretty well documents my love of beans. I'd probably be happy eating them at every meal. Yet you don't frequently see breakfast recipes that use beans. (Although I suppose I snuck some in to my migas and southwestern omelette).
When I heard about ful medames, I knew that sooner or later they would work their way into my rotation. Ful medames are an Egyptian breakfast dish (or possibly lunch) made of fava beans. Basically the fava beans are cooked, then mashed and served with a variety of accompaniments so everyone gets to season to their liking.
My biggest obstacle was finding the right kind of beans. Ful medames are made with small fava beans, instead of the large ones we more commonly see in the States. Eventually I was able to find some canned at the local import grocery store.
- 2 15-ounce cans small fava beans (3 cups cooked beans)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
- 3-4 cloves of garlic, finely minced
- juice of one lemon (~3 tablespoons)
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley, well-packed
- sea salt
- extra virgin olive oil
- Rinse and drain the fava beans. Place in a small to medium sized pot. Add the water, cumin, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat. Cover and simmer about 10 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Add in the garlic, lemon juice, and parsley. Mash about half the beans, and make sure everything is well mixed. Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with olive oil. Serve with any of the accompaniments listed below.
- pita bread
- hard boiled eggs
- chopped fresh tomatoes
- lemon wedges
- fresh parsley
- tahini
- chili pepper flakes
- raw onion
- pickled vegetables
(Serves 4)
I couldn't find any gluten-free pita, so we ate ours with spoons. I don't think we were missing anything. But I suppose toast could be used.
Seeing as I've been raving about my love of beans, it seems fitting that I share this recipe in My Legume Love Affair being hosted by the lovely Simona of Briciole. I'm also sharing in Premeditated Leftovers, Slightly Indulgent Tuesday, These Chicks Cooked, Full Plate Thursday, and Wellness Weekends.

An Audit of Controls Relating to the Declaration of Independence
While digging through the desk of a recently retired auditor, I was lucky enough to stumble across his collection of historical audit reports. Based on documentation he maintained, he amassed this fine collection through purchases on eBay. He seems to have had great success with the keyword searches "Internal Audit Reports." (No one else seems to have ever used that particular search.)
Following is the beginning of a report on the audit review commissioned by Benjamin Franklin over the processes used in development of the Declaration of Independence.
When in the course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, there are numerous approaches to such severance. A proclamation of such severance was made by the United States on or about July 4, 1776. The process, while not originally intended to result in said severance, did result in documentation and action with strong ramifications for the country.
This audit was request by Dr. Benjamin Franklin who felt that the pennies saved, earned, or in any other fashion obtained should be accounted for. He indicated that freedom was worth any price, but it did not make sense to waste such pennies if not necessary. With Dr. Franklin's approval, the audit was expanded to encompass other risk areas the audit department felt warranted their attention.
This audit was conducted to validate that controls over the independence declaration process adequately ensured such independence was achieved in an effective and efficient manner. This included the timeliness of such independence, the complete severance of ties with political bands, the proper control of associated expenses, and adequate documentation.
This audit included reviews of all support for expenses, human resource elements (delegates), diaries, and document history documentation. The time period reviewed was June 7, 1776 (when independence resolution was first formulated) to August 2, 1976 (the date of final signing of the declaration document.) This review did not include assessment of any actions taken by delegates outside their responsibilities related to independence declarations.
Stay tuned, next week I hope to provide you with the resulting opinion, issues, and corrective actions.

Bluefield Daily Telegraph
If the weather is favorable, more burned out and dilapidated structures along the streets of Bluefield will be demolished next week.
"We have six that have been prioritized," said City Manager Jim Ferguson.
Located at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Pine Street, further up Highland Avenue and on Third Street, the structures are either condemned or were destroyed by fire, Ferguson said. The homes are close together, so city crews will work to tear all of them down.
"These are high priority," he said.
Efforts to remove dilapidated structures from local neighborhoods continued this week as the city of Bluefield announced another list of buildings that could face demolition.
Before homes and other structures are condemned, the city publishes a legal advertisement to notify owners and whoever else may have an interest in the property, said City Building Inspector Gerald Steele. The notification is required by state law; owners who see the notice can appear before the city building commission to contest it.
"It's generally houses that are derelict or abandoned," Steele said. "Frequently the owners have passed away, and had no heirs or no interest in the property. When it gets into a condition beyond reasonable repair, that's when our process steps in to remove a blighted property from the neighborhood."
The city now has 28 to 29 structures that are scheduled for demolition, Steele said. Those houses and buildings have been through the legal process, checked for asbestos, and are "ready for the blade."
City Manager Jim Ferguson said approximately 500 structures have been placed under a condemnation order since 2004.
"Of those, approximately 400 have been demolished," he said. "So about 80 percent of the blighted properties in Bluefield have been removed."
The city plans to demolish another 100 structures by the end of 2014.
"The goal is 50 more this year and 50 more next year," Ferguson said. More houses could be added to the list later.
In Princeton, the city has just finished its 460th demolition, said Code Enforcement Director Bill Buzzo Jr.
"We did a couple more recently in the past couple of weeks," Buzzo said. "That's not bad for a small city."
Princeton has 30 dilapidated structure cases pending, he said. Like Bluefield, Princeton tries to locate the property owners and get them to pay for the work.
"I think the last couple that were torn down were paid for by the property owner, which is a good thing," Buzzo said.
Princeton's workers have also removed approximately 1,550 junk vehicles.
"Which is about four and a quarter miles if you put those cars end to end," Buzzo added.
The city spent $50,000 more last year than what was budgeted for demolitions, Buzzo said. At a recent budget retreated, city officials discussed whether to increase the budget for demolitions.
To finance the demolitions, the city of Bluefield also tries to locate the properties' owners. In some cases, property owners come to the city and ask for help in tearing down a dilapidated structure, he said. In one case, a church approached the city about tearing down a neighboring structure.
"Sometimes it's more economical to get us to do it than to hire somebody else," he said.
Demolishing a building cost the city approximately $4,000, Ferguson said. The exact cost of each project is determined by the building's size, whether asbestos needs to be removed, and other factors.
At the formal hearing scheduled for 11 a.m., Feb. 26 at the Bluefield Municipal Building, Steele said the building commission will take his sworn testimony about the condition of the properties in question, whether they are detrimental to their neighborhoods, and whether it is economically feasible to repair them.
"Some get to the point where they are dangerous to anyone around them," he said. "At that point, there's no choice."
Not all condemned structures are torn down immediately. City workers take care of the demolitions, but they have other daily duties they must perform before they can find time for tearing down structures.
"It's worth noting that typically the same crews that we use for demolition are the same employees who drive snow plows, and sometimes that slows us down in the process," Steele said. "Sometimes there are opportunities available to do demolitions."
The properties listed for the Feb. 26 hearing include: 824 Melrose Street; 313 Rogers Street; 501 Tyler Street; 300 Logan Street; 321 Logan Street; and 111 Bath Street.

Union employees of Johnstown Specialty Castings, located at 545 Central Ave., were told Thursday that the Moxham plant will be closing by the end of summer.
The closing of the plant will lead to the loss of more than 100 employees, including some management personnel.
The majority of the workers, who are members of United Steelworkers, Local Union 2632, Unit 16, were told that the reasons for closing were loss of orders, inadequate capacity and foreign imports.
The plant is owned by WHEMCO, a worldwide supplier of heavy industrial components for the metals, power generation and shipbuilding industries.
The Johnstown plant is a supplier of cast rolls and sleeves, slag pots and custom castings for a variety of heavy industrial applications.
Charles Novelli, president and CEO of WHEMCO, based in the Pittsburgh area, refrained from discussing the closing except to say that the company has met with the union to discuss consolidation of its facilities. He refused to give any details.
Wayne Donato, representative for USW District 10, said he couldn't be certain of the exact closing date.
"We need to negotiate a shutdown agreement and discuss if transfers to other WHEMCO facilties are possible," Donato said.
The company issued a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) on Jan. 23, saying that 36 workers in the melt shop and foundry would be terminated two weeks ago.
Donato said no WARN notice has been filed to the
39 melt shop and foundry employees.
WARN provides protection to employees, their families and communities by requiring employers to give affected employees and other state and local representatives notice
60 days in advance of a plant closing or mass layoff.
Employees were told that the company did not have a good year in 2012 and is in the midst of evaluating its facilities.
"It has been determined that the work done in Johnstown could be done more efficiently in the company's Midland (Beaver County) plant," Donato said. "It has a much larger capacity and the products can be made more efficiently with less energy costs."
Several employees contacted by The Tribune-Democrat declined to comment on the closing.
Donato said Johnstown's order book is "not what it once was a few years back."
"Many companies have gone to foreign suppliers," Donato said. "We were told the plant has become economically unfeasible to operate."
Production is continuing until details are worked out for a timetable to shutter the plant.
Donato estimates that a handful of employees will be needed to prepare the plant for closing.
"They will need a skeleton crew to clean up and complete work that needs processed for previous orders," Donato said.
"The closing had nothing to do with labor costs."
WHEMCO is honoring the existing bargaining agreement, but said any concessions by the union would not prevent the closing.
"We were willing to work with the company to talk about considerations in order to keep the plant operating," Donato said.
He said no determination has been made on whether the employees would be eligible for Trade Agreements Act (TAA) benefits.
WHEMCO and the Harvard Investment Group of Florida purchased the former Johnstown Corp. in September 2005.

By Andra Bryan Stefanoni
PITTSBURG, Kan. —
Jason Ward never thought he would have a 150 million-year-old fossilized allosaurus arm bone on his desk. Or a vertebra from a plesiosaur.
But his small, unassuming, second-floor office at Pittsburg State University has been turned into a paleontology lab of the most futuristic kind.
The assistant professor in graphics and imaging technology has been working with a Carl Junction, Mo., fossil collector on a project that uses seemingly space-age technology to capture, manipulate, archive and share — even reverse engineer — objects that have been around since the Mesozoic Era.
And they're gaining the attention of scientists nationwide.
"Bones may never have to leave a museum again," said Sean McCartney, Ward's student. "What we're doing has so many different kinds of applications, it will totally crack open paleontology."
McCartney, 50, has been a fossil hunter for 30 years and amassed quite a collection at his Carl Junction home. From the 1970s through the 1990s, he worked with the likes of noted paleontologists Robert Bakker and Jack Horner.
A native of Wichita, McCartney holds a degree in archaeology from Wichita State University, and he studied geology and paleontology at the Colorado School of the Mines and the University of Colorado at Boulder. At those institutions, he was a member of field teams recording Indian petroglyphs, mapping abandoned 19th century mine shafts and excavating Jurassic dinosaurs in Colorado's Morrison Formation.
He was the founder and vice president of the Wichita Paleontological Society, and he was instrumental in establishing joint field excavation programs between the society and both the Sternberg Museum in Hays and the Dallas Paleontological Society.
Life changed, however, and he most recently worked as a general contractor in Florida.
In 2007, he returned to the area to live in Carl Junction. He enrolled at PSU in 2010 to earn a federal certification in a type of 3-D technology known as building information modeling that is now required in his line of work.
Meanwhile, Ward, who has an expert ability to see the world three dimensionally on an x, y and z axis, had been looking for something solid to scan with his department's 3-D scanner.
Glass bottles were impossible because of the transparency and glare. Plastic toys were OK. But what Ward really wanted were interesting rocks.
"Sean said, 'How about fossils?'" Ward recalled. "I said, 'Bring 'em in.'"
A vertebra from a plesiosaur — a marine reptile dating from the early Jurassic period that was common in once ocean-covered Kansas — was their first experiment.
"It was probably one of the easiest things to scan in four years of trying," Ward said.
And now, with the plastics engineering department's 3-D printer, Ward said whatever they scan can be replicated in exact detail.
That includes the shelves of McCartney's prehistoric wonders that now line one of Ward's office walls: ancient shark teeth, small skulls and fossilized bones from around the world. And the allosaurus arm that McCartney brought back as part of a U-Haul load from a dig in Wyoming.
The applications are mind-blowing, the duo said.
Researchers living hundreds of miles apart can collaborate on a project digitally.
Bones that are extremely fragile or very rare need never leave a secure storage area. Bones that are damaged can be repaired virtually and then can be printed three dimensionally as newer, improved versions.
High school and college students can have access to an archive and samples never before available to them.
Rare fossils could be re-created for display and the real ones locked away — an attractive prospect to insurance companies, McCartney noted.
Or, a museum that is missing a bone in an otherwise fully complete skeleton can create a reproduction based on the scan of a bone housed at another museum.
"And it can be done in hours rather than the thousands of hours that an artist would spend," Ward said.
In fact, McCartney added, a 3-D printer could produce nine reproduction fossils at a time in less than a day and mail them to museums the next day.
The two demonstrated their success at the annual meeting of the Kansas Academy of Science in April, and they had tremendous feedback. Because PSU is one of the few institutions to currently use 3-D scanning for this purpose, other universities — including the University of Kansas, which has an extensive fossil collection — the National Park Service and several museums are working with Ward to create digital scans of some of their fossils and artifacts.
"WSU (Wichita State University) is interested in reproducing a real Columbian mammoth skeleton with hollow plastic casts to lighten its weight, which would allow for it to be mounted on a wall," McCartney said. "And some collectors in Florida want to bring up their triceratops skeleton this summer to work on. It started a ball we can't stop rolling."
Ward said the technology is applicable across just about any discipline.
"We're getting a lot of attention from other places that want us to help them create digital archives of their objects," he said. "It's going to be interesting to see just how far this little project can go."
Saturday graduation
SEAN McCARTNEY will graduate Saturday and has a computer modeling job lined up in Wichita that starts May 20. But he said he'll stay in touch with Jason Ward and the fossil scanning project. "The possibilities are endless," he said.

Before we get into this list I want to share something with you. I have been considering going back to school, mostly because they just updated one of the previous classes that I took and added a ton of new information. But also because there is a new class on email strategies that I want to take. I was talking with one of the teachers from the updated class and he shared with me some of the stuff that has been updated.
After our conversation I was thinking about what strategies I would be using and changing as part of my own marketing for 2013. I was remembering some of the stuff he had said during the class and then it dawned on me… I need a list… One of the points he made that was not part of the curriculum was that people love lists! When I say he made a point, he talked about it until everyone taking the class had said that they understood. So I sat down and started making my list and boy was it a large one.
It got me to thinking about how many small business owners don't have a list to work from when it comes to planning for 2013. So I decided that I would share part of my list with you so that you can use it for your business! There will be two parts to this list, the short version which you will be reading here and a longer version with more explanation and ideas under each planning point. More on the expanded list later, let's get you moving on the
10 ways you need to market your business online in 2013!
1. Create / Change / Update Your FB page
If you don't already have a Facebook business page, create one. If you have one and haven't updated it in over 6 months, then update it. If you haven't made any significant changes in over 6 months, then make those adjustments as well. I have found so many small errors on pages that I have helped with from people just not checking their pages once they set them up.
If you haven't added any new pictures in a while, now is the time!
2. Share Your Website on all of your Social Media Accounts
It amazes me that people have all these different accounts for their business and none of them have their website on their account or profile. The other thing that amazes me is that people will post all different types of random pictures and videos on their business pages but they never tell people to visit their website!
If you spent over $50 on having a website created, then you need to be telling people to visit it!
3. Create a Google Plus Business Page
I actually talk about this in my Big 3 Class, but you need a Google Plus Business Page. If you want to be found in Google local searches, then you need a Google Plus Business page and you need one last week!
You can create one by visiting this link: www.google.com/+/business/
4. Adjust / Update your Website
If you have not updated your website in over 6 months, now is the time! If you have not updated your pictures in over 6 months, then it is time to replace every picture that you can with new ones!
Have you ever eaten a cracker out of a package that has been half open for a couple of days? If so, then you know what stale tastes like… That is your website… Stale… Update it, change some wording, change your pictures and then go over to your social media sites and tell everyone about your changes! Remember to give them the web address!
5. Build an Email List
This is going to be something I will be pushing any and every new client I have this year into making sure they have. If you have a store front, you need to be collecting peoples email addresses. If you have a website, you need a way to capture email addresses from the website. If you have neither of those, then you need to get one or the other if not both!
Start building that email list in the next 30 days! I talked about why in the 2nd part of my last blog post, read it here.
6. Blog on your Website
If you have a website and you don't have a blog on it, call your webmaster today and ask him nicely to add one for you. There are such wonderful ways to attract new business, blogging is one of them. The problem is that people blog on other venues and not on their website. Unless you are being paid to blog for someone else, then you need to be blogging on your website! Sure you can share that blog post on other places, but you had better be pointing people back to your website.
7. Create & Add Videos to your Website
Video, wonderful video, the secret push in the internet marketing world. In 2013, you need to add no less than 2 videos to your website. I love video on websites, especially if the video is talking about the company or a product.
8. Get an SEO Audit
There are plenty of companies that you can use to get an SEO audit. If you don't know of one, ask me, I will share some good ones with you. You need to know if your SEO is setup correctly, if you haven't done any SEO, then you need to start there!
9. Do a Monthly Newsletter
Remember me talking about building your list? Well here is one of the things you will be using it for. You should be sharing each month if there are any new items, specials or good news from your business. I have so much that I am adding that there will be good news in every one of my newsletters!
10. Share your Blog Posts on Patch!
Now I could get into a long drawn out list of reasons why you need to be sharing on the Patch website, but I will save those for a class. Obviously if I am doing it, then you should be too!
Ok, now you have 10 things you need to be doing for 2013 to market your business online! I hope you have enjoyed reading this and if you have any questions feel free to ask!
For those of you wondering about the expanded edition of this, I will be sending it out via our email newsletter. So make sure you sign up for our newsletter in order to get your hands on the extended version! It will be available only for a week until we incorporate it into an ebook! So go sign up now!

In 1876, the State of Texas established the
Permanent University Fund to support higher
education at The University of Texas and Texas
A&M Systems through the appropriation of land
grants. What was once little more than 2.1 million
acres of tumbleweeds in West Texas has produced
an endowment of more than $12 billion in oil and
natural gas revenues as well as other investments.
While funds are used to construct buildings,
enhance libraries and attract star faculty, UT
Brownsville and UT Pan American had not been
eligible to receive this funding.
Last year, in the midst of the dissolution of the
partnership between UTB and Texas Southmost
College, the Chancellor and his experts at the UT
System conceived a bold plan that would correct
this long standing inequity: abolish UT Brownsville
and Pan American and consolidate their assets
to establish a new university, one that would also
include a medical school for the Rio Grande Valley.
With the full support of the Board of Regents,
the Governor and the Texas Legislature, the new
university, which will be distributed across the
region, was created.
This singular event, eligibility for the Permanent
University Fund, will transform higher education
in the Rio Grande Valley.Now that the door to PUF dollars has been flung
open, we will quickly see the new university catapult
to a completely new status: that of an emerging
research university that will become the second
largest Hispanic Serving Institute in the nation.
I invite you to continue to join in this new adventure
as we begin to imprint the destiny of the new
university. The UT System has created a Project
South Texas website that includes news, guiding
principles and timelines for establishing the new
university as well as an invitation to submit your
comments and suggestions for the new university.
You are encouraged to join the conversation online
and in person at the town hall meetings the UT
System will conduct in the Rio Grande Valley over
the next few months.
The destiny of our children and of our country
resides not in the past, but in the future; and
the shape of the future is in our hands. The new
university marks the beginning of a new future for
South Texas; a future inspired by the hopes and
dreams we share for our children.
Mil gracias,
Juliet V. García

Siberia and Migrants
In the 19th century, the government of Russia encouraged peasants to move from the western parts of the empire to untilled lands in Siberia. This book was intended as a guide for peasants interested in resettling. It contained information about the climate and soils of Siberia, conditions and economic opportunities, essential expenses for relocation and construction in a new place, as well as recommendations for the behavior of migrants in transit. The book was published in Khar'kov (Kharkiv, in Ukrainian) by the Khar'kov Society for the Expansion of ...

XENIA, Ohio (AP) — An Ohio man has been sentenced to 16 years in prison for disciplining his children with a dog shock collar.
David Liskany of Jamestown had pleaded guilty to charges of felonious assault and attempted felonious assault.
In court Friday, Greene County Common Pleas Judge J. Timothy Campbell compared the punishments to torture.
The judge said Liskany punished the children in 2006 and 2007 by putting them in cold showers, holding them underwater and using the shock collar, which is commonly used to train dogs.
The judge said the case sounded ''like something from Guantanamo Bay.''
The children are now 5, 12 and 14.

SAFC recently added two new CompoZrR Zinc Finger Nucleases (ZFN) as off-the-shelf catalog items to modify CHO cells for biopharmaceutical production. The two new ZFNs will knock out dhfr and GS genes - both of which are useful in selection of recombinant clones of interest. This catalog offer is in addition to services to create custom ZFN products for other genes of interest or custom cell engineering services (CCES) to create modified cell lines.
The offer is intended to enable biopharmaceutical customers to create robust, efficient cell lines, thus allowing them to focus their R&D efforts on developing new therapeutics. The ability to make targeted, heritable changes to genes has already lead to quicker development of knock-out cell lines for biopharm production.
This is an evolving offer at SAFC. The company plans to add new ZFNs targetted to different genes on a regular basis affecting properties like cell production, cell growth, culture longevity, recombinant protein quality (glycosylation), elimination of HCPs or viral elments, etc. Modified CHO K1 clones will also be offered as catalog items soon. The first cell lines will be biallelic knockouts of dhfr and GS with others soon to follow. It is SAFC's intention to offer a CHO cell line platform with optimized chemically-defined medium and feed sets, process instructions and complete validation and application package to support the production of therapeutics. We believe that this wil be interesting to biopharmaceutical, vaccine and biosimilar producers.
For more information on SAFC's ZFN offer visit. For more information on SAFC's Custom Cell Engineering Services (CCES) offer visit.

What's at the heart of Ed Greenwood's creation, and how does the Grand Master of the Realms use his own world when he runs D&D adventures for the players in his campaign? "Forging the Forgotten Realms" is a weekly feature wherein Ed answers all those questions and more.
n my Realms campaign, "Dark and Stormy Knight" is the appellation of a particular mysterious dark-armored figure seen from time to time on horseback on a hilltop in the distance, or atop a nearby battlement, or in the high window of a mansion behind walls with locked gates, watching.
Always watching the PCs. Silently, expressionlessly, enigmatically.
Is he a fan of the characters? A foe? A spy working for a secret society, a knightly order, or a priesthood? Or something more sinister, or even more noble?
Frankly, when I first brought him on the scene, I hadn't the faintest.
I assumed the PCs would figure out for me who he or she was, eventually. And in the process, they might even invest this mystery figure with more importance and long-hidden meaning than I could possibly have dreamed up, making me look like a scheming genius (memo to self: have new business cards printed up) and making them happy and satisfied that they'd finally, finally figured out this little but longstanding mystery of the Realms.
Oh, I love this job! (DMing, I mean.)
When someone writes a novel—or, for that matter, a set of engineering specs or a legal contract—only one set of words can ultimately be used, precise details or features or outcomes explicitly decided by those choices. Even in an intensely creative design process (for, say, a fantasy or science fiction movie that requires not just "funny-looking" alien races, but their languages, garb, architecture, customs, tools, and so on), decisions must be made and end results reached that are expressed in specific words, costumes, buildings, and so on.
In contrast, roleplaying games have a built-in, accepted, embraced X-factor, the often unpredictable actions and choices of players and the characters they run. A good DM has to be willing to "run with it," to improvise and be flexible, from a beginning that is never "This will happen," but is always "If the players do X, then A will follow, but if they do Y, then B will ensue." Not to mention "The monster is aiming to do this, but if faced with that, will instead do thus-and-so." As a DM, if I want to avoid the justifiably detested style of play known as railroading, I must leave open ends . . . choices not yet made.
The more complications that are built into play, in the form of developed NPCs with whom the PCs have relationships, intrigues and other subplots running alongside the main narrative, the longer it takes to list and describe all of these waiting, hanging choices. Long lists of contingency plans—"If the PCs tell the Baron no, he will react thus, unless the Baroness is in the room or the High Priest has erupted in anger, in which case the Baron will instead . . ."—give some DMs headaches and are shunned by other DMs (not just the lists, but the circumstances that would give rise to them), yet I have grown to love such situations over the years. The interplay of PCs and NPCs who must debate or confront or warily solve mysteries or manage manipulations has become far more interesting than flailing away at a monster and just tracking hit points as a hack-and-slash encounter unfolds.
Of course, your mileage may vary. These are my preferences—and more important, my players' preferences. They need not be yours, and no set of preferences is "better" or morally higher than any others.
Yet whether a campaign is a series of purchased published adventures or a work wholly created by the DM, pure dungeon crawl or world-spanning intrigue or something in between, every ongoing D&D narrative is better for an element of mystery. Some players even enjoy literally "playing detective," their characters being investigators tasked with solving in-game murder mysteries. Most adventurers, however, encounter a murder mystery by either stumbling over a body or being framed for a killing. They more often come up against mysteries akin to my Dark and Stormy Knight: Who is that guy, and what does he want from us?
(The PCs in my campaign quickly learned that the watching "Dark Knight" could vanish in a hurry, almost certainly by magical means, if they tried to chase or corner him. They also began to think that the watcher was either several humans at different times, or could look different—male, female, or even skeletal—from appearance to appearance. Either that, or maybe different PCs saw "him" differently, when they got close. . . .)
Ah, deepening mystery. Gotta love it.
Gamers who are familiar with fiction about secret societies, or scheming real-life (and sensationally fictionalized) families like the Borgias, or the royal family of Amber in Roger Zelazny's classic Chronicles of Amber saga, or dynastic struggles such as the Wars of the Roses (or George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice And Fire) know the sort of ongoing, gripping entertainment that can arise from tales told in a world of secrets upon secrets, and alliances and cabals whose memberships keep changing due to murders and treachery and individuals switching sides . . . and if D&D players have a taste for such entertainments, why avoid them?
In my home campaign, mysteries have always unfolded—and PCs have always been chasing down new ones. That "chasing down" is important. I did not want my players to be more anxious or upset around the gaming table than they were in their real daily lives. I wanted them to feel either in control or at least able to take commanding action most of the time, rather than feeling beset on all sides, bewildered, and constantly stumbling over new bodies and problems and foes. The play experience had to stay fun for them, not become frightening or a mental burden, one more set of worries to go on top of their real-life ones. If they got frightened (or became lost or seriously overmatched, or both) during a dungeon expedition they had chosen to go on and prepared for, that was fine. "In control" means being able to freely choose to make bad decisions or willingly court danger, as well as winning out in a particular confrontation or contest.
There are big mysteries I build in, with villains I hope will become recurring foes, and there are passing "puzzles of the moment" to solve—not just the dungeon variety of "How do we solve this lock and get out of this room before it fills up with water and we drown?" but the "What happened here?" sort, when PCs arrive at a place to meet a contact and find the person missing or slain, with signs of a tussle or a robbery or something else, and must figure out what has occurred. There are also ever-present "local secrets we know are being kept from us, but haven't figured out yet," and open-ended mysteries like the aforementioned Dark and Stormy Knight, that the characters' actions and speculation and investigation will answer or modify as play unfolds.
All of these uncertainties add spice and interest, and each one has made the "home" Realms richer and have become part of its lore—which gets shared, in ways large and small, with all fans of the Realms.

Pasco guard Efrain Cardoza wasnt sure to believe when a communication error left his name out of the starting lineup during player introductions on Saturday before the Bulldogs squared off against Kennewick in Pasco.
He was like, Am I a reserve? Bulldogs coach Charlie Villanueva said after Pascos 60-47 Mid-Columbia Conference win, which tied the Bulldogs (7-11, 6-7 MCC) with Walla Walla (11-8, 6-7) for the No. 2 district seed in the upcoming 4A district tournament a week from Tuesday.
Cardoza didnt take it personally, though.
Instead, he took it out on the Lions.
The 5-foot-9 senior scored a game-high 18 points, hitting three 3-pointers and dishing out three assists to give Pasco its fourth win in the last five games and fifth in the last seven.
The Bulldogs trailed for most of the game, as Kennewick maintained a small cushion through the first three quarters. But by the time the fourth quarter rolled around, it was Pascos time to shine.
Cardoza and DeDrain Miller combined for 17 points in the final frame as the Bulldogs outscored the Lions 26-10 over the final eight minutes.
Miller finished with 17, adding a pair of steals.
This is a playing team, and were learning how to fight, Villanueva said. The only thing we did was just clean up what we were doing. We came out flat. Our rotations werent very good, and (Kennewick was) scoring off the dribble-drive handoffs.
Yunan Bugal drove the lane for a finger-roll lay-in with 2:16 left in the second quarter, giving Kennewick its biggest lead of the night at 23-15. But Pasco finished the half on an 8-0 run to tie the score at 25.
In the second half, coach told us to just play our game, Bulldogs junior guard Marqualle Brown said after scoring 10 points including five in the fourth quarter. He told us not to rush shots, but let the shots come to us.
Mitchel Mueller hit his only 3-pointer of the game to open the third quarter scoring, starting a 7-2 Lions run. Mueller, Kennewicks leading scorer, scored seven of his nine points in the third, including a pair of free throws to give the Lions a 37-34 lead after three quarters.
But it was all Pasco in the fourth.
After Ramos hit a free throw to extend Kennewicks lead to 38-34, Miller hit a circus lay-in, tossing up a one-handed shot while falling with his back to the basket. The shot went in, and he got the foul, too, converting the and-1 to bring the Bulldogs within 1 point with 7:36 left in the game.
A minute later, Julian Figueroa made a steal and fed Cardoza for a layup, giving Pasco its first lead since the first quarter at 39-38.
At practice, we see how good we can be. Its just a matter of bringing it to the court, said Brown, who hit a pair of layups inside during a 15-2 Bulldogs run to put Pasco in control 55-45 with just over a minute left. Our bench was doing a good job supporting us, yelling out screens and calling out shots.
Cardoza also hit a highlight-reel shot for a three-point play during the run, hitting the deck as his scoop shot trickled through the net with 4:33 to play.
The last 5 minutes, we just fell apart fundamentally and mentally, Ramos said. Theyve picked things up physically and started using their strength.
Pasco hosts Southridge on Friday in its final regular-season game, and Walla Walla will travel to Chiawana. A Bulldogs win and Blue Devils loss would give Pasco the No. 2 seed to the District 5 tournament.
Kennewick (4-14, 2-10) is still stuck in the MCC cellar, but is clinging to the hope it can still make the playoffs.
We know the situation, and we know what we have to do, Ramos said. Weve got to beat Southridge and force a tiebreaker.
KENNEWICK J.Wuol 4, Mueller 9, Westover 6, Devven Ramos 16, Y.Wuol, Rutledge 3, DeWitt 6, Bugal 3, Conde, Plew. Totals 19-53 7-18 47.
PASCO Brown 10, Arroyo 2, Figueroa 4, DeDrain Miller 17, Torres 2, Efrain Cardoza 18, Cobain 2, Murillo 1, Ballardo 2, Young 2, Cruz. Totals 20-59 16-27 60.
Kennewick 14 9 14 10 47
Pasco 11 12 11 26 60
Highlights 3-pointers: K 2 (Mueller, Ramos), P 4 (Cardoza 3, Miller); Rebounds: K 25 (Ramos 5), P 38 (Miguel Torres 9); Turnovers: K 17, P 15. Torres 3 assists; Miller 2 steals.

Mineral Wells Index
— Parker County Sheriff's deputies made three arrests in connection with a theft in progress call Friday, Jan. 11, 2013.
Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said the incident was reported around 1:30 p.m. in the 11000 block of Old Agnes Road in Springtown.
PCSO said witnesses reported three suspects were seen loading various items in the bed of the truck without permission from the property owner. The suspects were seen last heading north on Old Agnes Road in a white Ford pickup truck.
According to the PCSO, while sheriff's deputies were responding to the scene, they passed the vehicle on Highway 199, at which time the vehicle voluntarily stopped.
The driver told deputies the vehicle was borrowed and he had been collecting scrap metal, according to the PCSO. Deputies verified the vehicle was indeed borrowed, yet also noted several items in the bed of the truck including about $50-500 of metal and iron, a chest freezer, a table saw and copper wire.
Authorities said a witness identified the suspects as two females and a male who had been seen inside a fenced area taking property from a radio tower site moments before the stop was made and loading it into the truck.
Deputies also discovered a 35mm camera, lens and tripod inside the truck.
The suspects, identified as Joseph Verlyn Guthrie, 34; Summer McDonald, 17; and Bianca Christine Smiddy, 23, all of Springtown, were arrested and charged with theft of property $50-500 and theft of materials copper, aluminum, brass, bronze under $20,000.
PCSO indicated Guthrie later told sheriff's investigators he took the items from the radio tower site, knowing it belonged to AT&T.

The wheels of N.C. States coaching search moved in motion on Wednesday but they did not produce the Wolfpacks next football coach.
N.C. State athletic director Debbie Yow traveled to Atlanta on Wednesday and met with a potential candidate. Back in Raleigh, the universitys Board of Trustees met to determine the contract parameters for Tom OBriens replacement.
OBrien was dismissed on Sunday, a day after a 27-10 win over Boston College to finish the regular season at 7-5. Yow, who is in the midst of her seventh coaching change in 29 months at N.C. State, has moved quickly to find the new football coach. The search has focused on Louisiana Tech coach Sonny Dykes and Clemson assistant coach Chad Morris.
OBrien made just over $1.9 million this season. At least seven ACC coaches made more, according to USA Today. FSUs Jimbo Fisher was the leagues highest paid coach at $2.75 million. Morris, the highest paid public school assistant in the country, made $1.3 million. Dykes made $760,200, the paper reported.
Yow, who was unavailable for comment on Wednesday, previously said she was not specifically looking for an offensive innovator but both Dykes and Morris fit the bill.
Louisiana Tech led the country in scoring (51.5 points per game) this season under Dykes version of the spread offense, which he learned from Washington State coach Mike Leach.
Morris, Clemsons offensive coordinator, has jump-started the Tigers offense with his fast-break version of the spread.
Clemson went from No. 87 in the country in scoring from the season before he joined Dabo Swinneys staff, to No. 6 this season (42.3 points per game). Morris has helped the Tigers win the ACC title in 2011 and 10 games this season.
ESPN analyst Ed Cunningham worked Clemsons 62-48 win over N.C. State on Nov. 17, when Morris spread scheme rolled up 754 yards.
If you dont make a hire like that, then why did you fire a respected coach like Tom OBrien? Cunningham said in reference to Dykes and Morris.
Dykes and Morris, both 43, got their coaching starts in Texas high school football. Morris jumped from the prep level to Tulsa in 2010 to Clemson a year later.
Dykes worked for Leach at Texas Tech for six seasons, before becoming the offensive coordinator at Arizona in 2007 and then the head coach at Louisiana Tech in 2010.
Dykes has a 22-15 record in three seasons with the Bulldogs, including a 9-3 record this season and a Western Athletic Conference title in 2011.
By comparison, OBrien went 24-14 the past three seasons at N.C. State. OBrien, 64, had a 40-35 record in six seasons.
Hes not leaving a broken place at all, Cunningham said of OBrien.
N.C. State ranked 70th in scoring offense this season (28.4 points per game) and 20th in passing. Yow said the style of offense wasnt the reason for OBriens dismissal and wouldnt necessarily be a criteria for the next coach.
My experience has been, if the coach wins, people are fine with the style of play, Yow said on Sunday. Its only when you start losing when they start picking at those kinds of things.
Yows No. 1 priority is finding a hardcore recruiter who will reinvigorate the program. If an exciting brand of offense comes with that, so be it, Yow said.
Im not caught up in that as much as I am finding for us a person who is, pure and simple, a winner, Yow said on Sunday.

The Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train has been raising food, money and awareness for food banks in communities across Canada and the U.S. since 1999. To date, we've helped raise $5.6 million and 2.45 million pounds of food with our Holiday Train program.
From the initial partnership with the National Food sharing program, a new idea was formed. That December, CP began running a freight train decorated with thousands of Christmas lights across Canada, to raise awareness of the issue of hunger prevalent in all communities. In 2001, CP launched a second Holiday Train in the United States.
The goal of the Holiday Train is to collect food and money for local food banks and to raise awareness in the fight against hunger. At each event, the Holiday Train provides a box car stage, a line up of great musical talents and a corporate contribution to the local food bank. The community, in turn, is encouraged to donate food and funds, all of which stays in the community.
