Ever since Adam Levine was named People's Sexiest Man Alive, there's been plenty of discussion as to whether or not he really deserves the title. Someone who was pretty surprised by Adam's honor was Travie McCoy , who along with his band Gym Class Heroes collaborated with Adam on the hit single "Stereo Hearts." In fact, Travie says he couldn't believe it when he saw Adam's face staring out at him from the rack at his local grocery store.
"They have a magazine section as you're leaving and I'm walking by and I look back, and I'm like, 'Are you serious?'" he tells ABC News Radio of his reaction to the "Sexiest Man Alive" cover story. "Like... Channing Tatum was the last one, [right]? That kinda makes sense, you know what I'm saying? Not to say that Adam's not a good-looking guy, but I'd have to disagree."
Turns out Travie's apparent diss is just sour grapes though -- he laughs, "It shoulda been me on the cover of that!"
Right now, Travie's more concerned with his music than his appearance, though. His single and video with Jason Mraz , " Rough Waters, " is out now, and his second solo disc will arrive in 2014. Travie says ironically, "Rough Waters" was a song that he'd almost forgotten about, until his producer resurrected it and had Jason sing on it.
"It was written for an ex-girlfriend and it kinda got put on a backburner," Travie tells ABC News Radio. "And Benny Blanco , who produced the song, was working with Jason Mraz and he's like, 'Yeah, I got this song that I do with Trav awhile ago, would you mind putting some guitars on it?' So he played guitar on it and actually re-sang the hook and then he sent it to me."
"I was like, 'Whoa!'" Travie recalls. "Like, he just brought it to a whole 'nother level and we decided to run with it as a single."
Travie also reveals that hearing the song prompted him to reach out to his ex -- it was while they were having difficulties in their relationship that he originally penned the tune.
"Upon re-listening to it, it shot me back to when I wrote it," he says. "And actually, I called up my ex-girlfriend and e-mailed it to her and she loved it."
And no, the two aren't getting back together, but they're still friends, according to Travie.

The Chandler Ostrich Festival had to shut down Friday because of bad weather for the first time in its 25 year history. Vendors and clean up crews spent Saturday morning picking up the pieces. "I get here this morning, it's all blown apart...it's a brand new tent that's on the ground," said Anthony Miller, a vendor. Strong wind and heavy rain tore their tents apart Friday. "These were the poles holding up my signs and the wind just bent them like they were plastic," said Bob Tanenbaum, a jewelry vendor. But these vendors showed up early Saturday to clean the mess that mother nature made."It ended up as a big mangled metal ball we ended up having to go to Sam's club and the Sam's club employees there were like, 'Why's everybody coming in here and buying new tents today?' and they said, 'Well the weather wreaked havoc on us.' They said, 'We've sold more than 50 tents in the last two hours'," said Marie Brown, a T-shirt vendor. The mud was the biggest problem at the Ostrich Festival Saturday, so crews came out and put saw dust down on the ground so nobody slipped. All of the rides and temporary structures were also inspected to make sure they were safe for use after the storm. "[The ostriches] were running around, pretty much chasing each other, sitting down, getting back up, and running around chasing each other. I don't know if that's normal behavior or not," said Brown. Officers and firefighters worked to get everyone out of harms way on Friday. No one was hurt and all scheduled events took place Saturday.

Mohammed Shahaid Nazir: Viral fishmonger
A favorite memory is going to the old Yankee stadium and listening to the concession vendors hawk their peanuts and pop in this singsong, old-school-NYC holler. "Peanuts, popcorn, getcher peanuts!" A similar song happens on beaches in Latin America; "Hey-lado!" Since much of life is now digital, many of those real time sounds and sights take place online.
2012 saw a global phenomenon with PSY's Gangnam Style from
Seoul, Korea via Los Angeles getting people doing a horse-like shuffle
and singing the hook, "Hey, sexy lady." In England, a Pakistani
fishmonger's chant inviting female market-goers to check out his deal on
fish has gone viral, putting him on the BBC and the X Factor. He sells
it "very very cheap;" a steal at one pound sterling, garnering the
nickname the "One Pound Fish" guy.
The story goes that
the 31-year-old and his wife immigrated to London and after three months
he got work slinging fish at Queen's Market. His job was to shout his
prices out to passersby, like the salesmen lining Fulton Mall in
Downtown Brooklyn.
But he didn't like shouting at
customers and he does like singing, so he made a little jingle up on the
spot and starting caroling for clients. Pretty soon the word spread
that this guy sang a nice fish ditty and somebody taped him in the
market and posted it online. It went viral and Nazir got a solid fan
base, press followed. He even got himself a hypeman; a hooded figure
holding a large, stuffed Nemo under his arm while backing up Nazir, fist
But when he got onto The X Factor UK, the
judges snubbed him. Cute as his song was, they didn't take the ESL
fishmonger to be a serious contender as a vocalist.
millions of Youtube views, the record labels disagreed. Warner
Brothers made Nazir a video and cut a record. Now the happy fish song
has him dancing with half-naked ladies on his arm, gesturing at the
quality catch he has for the audience. But the innocent quality of the
fish seller sticks; who knew it could be so fun to hawk fish?
Nazir manages to go from lowly market vendor to Internet pop star without giving us his one pound of flesh.

Felony Drug Arrest in Muhlenberg County
Date of News Release: 01/05/2013
(Madisonville, Ky.) -- On January 4, 2013, at 5:35 P.M., Trooper Jon McGehee conducted a traffic stop on a 1994 BMW passenger car for traffic violations. The operator, Jessi A. Abshire, was cited to court for traffic violations. During the course of the traffic stop, Trooper McGehee developed probable cause to believe that controlled substances were located inside the vehicle. A search of the vehicle was then conducted. Inside the vehicle was located approximately 14 grams of suspected methamphetamine, marijuana, items used to ingest and distribute controlled substances, and prescription medication. Mrs. Abshire was then lodged at the Muhlenberg County Detention Center for Trafficking in a Controlled Substance 1st Degree 1st Offense Methamphetamine.

Legend has it that author Mark Twain once said, "I want to be in Kentucky when the end of the world comes, because it's always 20 years behind."
But earlier this month, U.S. District Court Judge John G. Heyburn nudged the Commonwealth a bit more in line with the times by ruling that Kentucky's law preventing grocery stores from obtaining licenses to sell package liquor and wine is unconstitutional.
This is hardly a radical idea. 35 of 50 states already allow wine or spirits sales in grocery stores, and that includes six of our seven neighboring states. And the social order in those states hasn't crumbled as a result.
This law has always seemed curious to me. Drug stores that also sell groceries have long been allowed to sell liquor of all types. So why have grocers that also sell drugs not had the same right?
Many consumers now consider wine to be part of their meal, so eliminating the prohibition will allow them to select their food and wines at the same time. And petitions have demonstrated that an overwhelming majority of the public is in favor of this move.
The state's Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control has indicated there's still a chance it will appeal the judge's ruling. But if they do, here's hoping the appeal is overruled and Kentucky is allowed to join the rest of the country in the 21st century.
I'm Bill Lamb, and that's my…Point of View.

The only Android device that we hear selling in millions in opening months is the Samsung Galaxy SII. The SGS2 is widely accepted as one of the best smartphones out in the market today and the dual-Core Android smartphone is finally coming to US. So far there has been talk of SII being delayed in US due to carrier negotiations not going through, but Samsung seems to have cracked AT&T here.
BGR has exclusive pictures of the Galaxy S2 that would launch on AT&T in August. And here is a little surprise, it has a slide out QWERTY. Mimicking Motorola's Droid series that has done well in US, Samsung would release a version of its fastest selling smartphone Galaxy S II with a physical keyboard.
It's odd that the Galaxy S2 is out in many countries including India, but US hasn't got it. For Apple, US is the primary, first and biggest market for the iPhone. It always launches the iPhone first in US and then goes global, while Samsung is a Korean company, we wonder why its flagship product isn't engineered to launch sooner in US. Coming September iPhone 5 would be out and while that doesn't mean Galaxy S II has something to worry, Samsung is missing on this golden period when there is no new iPhone in June-August bracket by Apple.
Samsung's previous Galaxy S did pretty well and launched across different carriers in US with different names. We would expect the same with S2, different carriers, different forms. Also stay tuned for the Windows Phone 7 Mango version from Samsung!

Dear Trina Solar, I'm Back! - Billionaire Ken Griffin
Marshall is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Per a 13G filing with the SEC, billionaire investor and founder of Citadel Investment Group Ken Griffin has returned as a Trina Solar (NYSE: TSL) shareholder. He now owns 6.2% of Trina's outstanding shares, over 252 million shares. The last time Griffin owned a meaningful stake in Trina was the fourth quarter of 2008, where his stake was over 135 million shares. This recent purchase is just one of Griffin's latest moves, which includes a 5.2% stake in TiVo (reported earlier) and a 5.6% stake in clothing retailer Express.
Griffin's big stake in Trina was short-lived last time, where he quickly begin unloading his shares the next quarter, and held a relatively meaningless stake before getting out of the company completely during the fourth quarter of 2011. How long will Griffin stick around this time? I believe that investors and Griffin both could see upside over the interim as the solar industry shows signs of stabilization, but not without inherent risks.
Trina and a number of other solar stocks, including First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR), Yingli Green Energy (NYSE: YGE), Suntech Power (NYSE: STP), and LDK Solar (NYSE: LDK) have been pressured over the past couple of years due to oversupply in the industry. Trina and Suntech, two of the larger China-based solar product producers, have been working on this oversupply problem; last year both began scaling back production, driven by a slowdown in Europe.
The headwind for U.S. solar companies is the notion that funding may be drying up. However, Trina has its exposure to the rapidly growing solar market in China. The capital intensive industry, which requires large upfront CapEx, has led to speculation over whether major alternative and oil & gas companies should buy up solar companies to better fund projects. One such case was when SunPower saw supermajor Total SA take a 60% stake in the company a couple of years ago for a price that was 50% above its stock price. This could be the norm going forward.
Industry drivers
The Chinese government is planning to inject additional capital to the solar space, which should help drive demand for solar products in the coming years. Industry consolidation should further help with supply issues, where a number of smaller manufacturers have exited the industry due to uncompetitive cost structures. Market research firm ENF estimates that the total number of Chinese solar products manufacturers dropped from around 900 to 700 in 2012.
As solar installations show signs of rebounding, Trina's aggressively low pricing should help it continue capturing market share. Even with its low-priced products, Trina has managed to maintain its solid operating margin:
Trina, and a number of other solar companies, are trading well below book value, which tends to be a solid valuation metric for the volatile solar industry. On a price to book basis, Trina is quite attractive, trading below top U.S. solar operator First Solar and other major Chinese operators:
First Solar recently saw an upgrade from Citigroup, putting a buy rating on the shares, following news that the solar company had bought the Macho Springs Solar project, a project that will be New Mexico's largest solar project and power 18,000 homes when complete in 2014. Suntech, on the other hand, has announced stoppage of two of its three production shifts at its Arizona plant, where production costs are now elevated due to tariffs imposed by the U.S. government. LDK Solar is one of the companies still recovering from the 2012 demand decline. The company released guidance that shows 2012 revenue may come in well below estimates. The company expects revenue in the range of $950 million to $1 billion, whereas analyst expectations are at $1.4 billion for 2012.
Don't be fooled
Trina is down over 65% the last five years, now trading around $5.40 with a sub-$500 million market cap, and although Griffin is taking an interest in the stock, the position is a relatively small one in the grand scope of his $56 billion 13F portfolio (check out other hedge funds owning Trina). Although Trina is well positioned in the industry, the industry itself is still speculative and volatile, as seen by Trina's 3+ beta, so buyer beware.

The fans really nailed the NL starters for the All-Star Game. I only had one complaint with the fan vote, so they must be commended for getting it right. All my other complaints are really nit-picking because the NL All-Star team was well selected. Manager Bruce Bochy was too much of a homer and included a few too many Giants pitchers, so that's the only other issue I really have. Here are the NL All-Star team snubs (written as the player who should have made it over the one who did):
Aramis Ramirez over Placido Polanco, Chipper Jones at 3B
Fans got all the starters right except for Placido Polanco at third base. There was no real standout at the position this year but Ramirez is having the best year of all NL third basemen. He should have been the starter over Polanco and the backup over Chipper Jones. It should have gone Aramis and then either Chipper or Chase Headley as the backup.
Andrew McCutchen over Jay Bruce in OF
McCutchen misses out on his second straight All-Star game in favor of a Pirates reliever. He deserved to go last year over Evan Meek and deserves to go this year. Bruce had a major power surge in May that captured everyone's attention but h's cooled off since then. McCutchen, with his 12 home runs and 15 stolen bases, has been the better overall player.

SPOKANE VALLEY--Five homes needed to be evacuated after a car drove into a home and broke a gas line.
The vehicle collided with a house at 8600 E. Turtle Creek.
Authorities say the car's driver got out to get his mail at the mailbox about a block away from the home. The car then rolled down a very shallow hill and crashed into the garage.
Five surrounding homes needed to be evacuated and several roads in the area were closed down after the collision caused a natural gas leak.
The driver was not hurt in the crash. Everyone is expected to return to their homes shortly.

NBA BasketBall Betting, the Top Teams and their Prospects for 2013, 2014 Season posted by NBA News
In the 2012, 2013 prediction of the NBA game seven, Miami Heat were the favorites to win according to basketball sports betting sites. They went ahead to win against the spurs. Miami Heat were defending their title for the second time. Spurs were not the favorites but they had raised hope in many people that they had a chance to take the title. Most odd makers had put odds in the fact that the game will be close. This prediction also came to be true with the final 95, 88 score. There are those that are looking for Miami Heat's prospect for the 2013-2014 season.
Defending the Title
Miami Heat are favorites to win again in early predictions for this season. The Lebron James magic is expected to play out again as he leads his time to another victory and defend their title. Some predict that Lebron may retain his Most Valuable Player of the year title this coming season. He has consistently shown his skills in shooting, defending and attacking.
On the other hand it may be too early to judge. What are the real prospects of defending the title? Defending the title for the third time will not be that easy. There is talk of Dwayne Wade's knee injury. Whether he will be part of the action next season and whether Lebron can do without him, is another important factor that will determine the prospects for the team this coming season.
Westbrook's Return to Oklahoma City
Another team to watch is Oklahama City Thunder. Some odds place it second for the title after Miami Heat. Their prospects are also good. The team up of Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook is going to be interesting to watch this season. The two are expected to help lead the team towards the title. However Russell has been on crutches and is widely expected to recover in time but how well he recovers and the level of his game remains to be seen.Continue reading "NBA BasketBall Betting, the Top Teams ..."

The conservation process
The restoration project had three phases:
Before doing anything, the conservation team carried out a full assessment of the painting. This included scientific analysis of the painting structure, assessment of its deterioration and the history of previous conservation.
The urgency of the task became immediately clear. Large areas of paint were flaking away from the canvas and previous restoration attempts had completely failed.
The first priority was to prevent any further damage. Previous restoration work was removed and the weakened structure stabilised by lining the canvas and fixing the loose paint.
At this point the painting could have been put safely back into storage where, with careful monitoring, it would now remain stable.
It was now clear that further work would be needed to restore the image itself. Restoration can return a sense of wholeness to a damaged object, recapturing the artist's original intent. The trick is knowing when to stop. Go too far and the artist's vision is lost.
The true appearance of the original painting will never be recaptured, as the paintwork was too badly damaged. But what we have done is try to reveal something of William Etty's original passion and artistic vision.
To follow the project in detail and watch the conservators at work, visit the restoration timeline.

God, heaven and a full range of emotions
Question: When the Bible says God is grieved does that mean God is having a bad day? I thought Heaven is always full of joy.
- T. Brown,
Flight Safety instructor,
DFW Airport, Texas
Answer: You're right in noticing scriptures that say God may grieve for us. Psalm 78:40 tells of Israel's wilderness transgressions which provoked God to grief. In the New Testament Paul implied in Ephesians 4:30 that we grieve the Holy Spirit when we sin after we're saved.
However, grief isn't the only emotion God has in Heaven. Sometimes God is angry. These verses tell of his anger: Micah 5:15; Nahum 1:6; Zephaniah 3:8. Yet, Nehemiah 8:10 and 12:43 speak of the joy of the Lord. At all times God is righteous (Psalm 11:7) and just (Deuteronomy 32:4), yet he is gracious and merciful (Exodus 34:6) as shown in his great love (John 3:16). God has the full range of emotions he instilled in us when he made us in his image. Indeed, the characteristics seen in the Fruit of the Spirit from Galatians 5:22-23 are the emotions of God. But, if God has a "bad day" or a good day, it is we who bring it on him.
We see the emotions of God exemplified in Jesus who was "God in a body suit." Jesus was angry when he drove the money changers out of the Temple because they were cheating the people (John 2:15). Yet, Hebrews 12:2 says he endured the cross for the joy of paying our sin debt so that all believers may join him in Heaven.
Although Luke 15:10 says there is rejoicing when one sinner is saved, for now there is also much sadness in Paradise. Revelation 6:9-11 shows the saints empathizing with those being martyred for their faith. Until the enemies of God and all believers are vanquished the saints will feel his sorrow. But, when we join him in our New Jerusalem, victors at last, God will wipe every tear from our eyes because the former things that bring sadness will have passed away forever (Revelation 21:4).

State police say two hit-and-run crashes left a woman dead and shut down a stretch of Detroit freeway for several hours.
The fatal crash happened about 2:20 a.m. Thursday on westbound Interstate 94.
Police say 22-year-old Carlita Charmaine Young of Detroit stopped a car along the freeway, partially blocking the right lane, and got out. Police say she was hit by another vehicle and that driver, believed to be a 60-year-old man, fled the scene on foot.
Investigators say Young was pronounced dead at the scene. What was happening inside the car led Young to get out on the highway is still unclear.
Shortly afterward, an Oldsmobile slowed down to check out the first accident and was hit by a Chevy Cruise. Police say the driver of the car that was hit fled on foot.
drivers who would have otherwise likely not been faulted in this accident are
now wanted suspects in hit and run accidents.
The freeway closure lasted for more than four hours backed up traffic for the morning commute.

Tracy High's soccer team won its non-league match against St. Mary's High in Stockton on Monday.
The Bulldogs (12-1, 4-0 San Joaquin Athletic Association) came home with the 2-1 win over the Rams (8-5-1, 2-0 Tri-City Athletic League) in a game that put the traditional league leaders up against each other.
Tracy coach Nate Perry reported that the Bulldogs were ahead 1-0 at halftime. Sophomore Ashley Hallen scored with an assist from junior Jenna Wesely, who collected a corner kick from senior Cailie Chayrez.
The second half remained close, but Tracy made it a 2-0 game after senior Jill Finney passed to senior Daesha Brown, who scored on a one-on-one shot at the goal.
St. Mary's scored with about 10 minutes left after a Rams player got a foot on the ball in the middle of a crowd in front of the Tracy goal.
It was the only one of nine shots on goal to make it past sophomore goalie Taylor Boren, whom Perry credited as one of the Bulldogs' main advantages Monday.
"Without her playing today, the result could have easily been different," Perry said.
Tokay 6, West 1
The Wolf Pack had some scoring opportunities early in the first half, but in spite of persistent pressure, they were largely unable to penetrate the Tokay defense Friday at Steve Lopez Stadium.
The offense for West (2-3-1, 1-1 Tri-City Athletic League) — including seniors Maddie Wright and Salina Smith and juniors Sandy Barbosa and Natalia Bijak — made several attacks early in the game, but the Tokay defense was quick to get in position and allowed only a couple of shots on the goal.
Tokay (5-5, 1-1 TCAL) scored first in the 14th minute when officials called foul on West and the Tigers got a free kick from just outside the penalty box. The Tigers also scored in the 25th minute on a long shot over the head of West goalie Saman Latifi.
West scored its lone goal in the 27th minute. Wright brought the ball up the right side and crossed it to Barbosa, who was in position in the middle of Tokay's defenders and made the shot.
Tokay kept up the pressure in the second half, scoring four more goals, while West had only a few opportunities on offense.
West's freshman-sophomore team beat Tokay 11-0. Azaleis Caluza scored four goals for West, Amairani Morales scored three, Ayana Estrella scored two and Taylor Hanes and Alondra Gonzalez scored one each.
Kimball 3, Lathrop 0
The Jaguars won a Valley Oak League contest Friday at Lathrop High.
Kimball (5-2, 4-1 VOL) had a 2-0 lead over Lathrop (5-10-1, 2-5 VOL) at halftime.
Sophomore Samantha Tran scored in the 17th minute on a pass from senior Mireya Magana, and junior Cynthia Soto took a pass from junior Abby Dyer and scored in the 31st minute with a chip shot over the goalkeeper's head.
Tran scored again two minutes into the second half on a corner kick from junior Taylor Hopkins. Freshman goalie Amanda Leal had seven saves for Kimball, and freshman goalie Paige Ryback had three saves.

For the past 2 years we've been publishing a list of the top UK focused internet marketing blogs in advance of speaking at events. This year I'll be presenting on Creative Content Marketing at SES London February 19th.
Since bloggers do more than just write posts, I've shifted the focus of this list from blogs to individuals. With the increasing importance of authorship and personal brands, I think it's important to consider individual bloggers and the content they share whether its tweets, status updates, or other useful information created online.
As a result, the people on this list are recognized for their overall social sharing about "online marketing" related topics, not just blogging.
Thanks to nominations made from some really helpful UK bloggers and the folks at Traackr we've created the Top 50 UK Online Marketing Influencers & Bloggers.
Here's more info about this year's Top UK Online Marketing Influencers & Bloggers List and a few inevitable questions:
How did you create the list?
To start, we drew upon our top UK internet blogs lists from past years then asked an array of UK based internet marketers to nominate their favorite blogs and bloggers that cover search engine optimization, content marketing, search engine marketing, social media and other online marketing practices.
TopRank Online Marketing also partnered with Traackr to discover new influential bloggers, track their online content and measure their reach, resonance and relevance.
To make the list, a blogger needed to write consistently about online marketing and have an engaged audience. This ranking is updated every month to take into consideration new content published by UK focused bloggers on the social web, so be sure to return to see if your ranking has changed.
How do you define "online marketing"?
To develop this list, we defined online marketing as the practice of using digital channels to attract and acquire customers. The bloggers selected for the list write consistently about topics such as search engine marketing and optimization, social media marketing, content marketing, online public relations and similar topics.
How can I be included on this list?
The only way to be included on this list is to be based in the UK, write and share original content about online marketing. Your relevancy to the topic is most important. We also look at metrics to determine the size of your audience and their level of engagement with your content.
Why did my rank change?
The influential bloggers listed here are identified by Traackr and their online content is monitored over time. As new content is published, we reassess everyone's relevance and engagement metrics. New people can emerge and current list members can move in rank depending on these factors.
What is Traackr?
Traackr provides influencer identification and analytics software for businesses and agencies. The tool discovers, ranks and monitors online influencers and the content they produce on the web. Midsize and large companies use Traackr to build better influencer programs and earn more attention by engaging with the right people. You can learn more at www.traackr.com.
Thank you
To the following UK based marketers and all around helpful people who nominated many of the bloggers in this list:
- Andy Betts – @andybetts1
- Anna Francis – @MissAnna_F
- Allister Frost – @AllisterF
- Andy Kinsey – @andykinsey
- Andrew Girdwood – @AndrewGirdwood
- Carla Marshall – @Carla_Marshall
- Chris Lee – @CMRLee
- Ciaran Rogers – @ciaraniow
- Claire Carlile – @clairecarlile
- Dave Chaffey – @DaveChaffey
- Dixon Jones – @Dixon_Jones
- Doug Kessler – @dougkessler
- Gianfranco Cuzziol – @iamgfc
- Jason Meininger – @shadowdaddy
- Jim Banks – @jimbanks
- Joanna Butler – @JoannaButler
- Malika Sharma – @Malika89
- Matt Sawyer – @mattuk
- Sam Scholfield – @StuffedWeb
- Tim Grice – @Tim_Grice
- Volker Ballueder – @ballueder
Also a HUGE THANKS goes to Evy Wilkins from Traackr for all her hard work to make this new list template happen.
Inevitably, there are people that our readers feel should be included in the lists we publish. You can share your suggestions of course, but publishing content on social networks and on blogs on a regular basis is really the best way to make it into the consideration set.
Creative Content Marketing—Winning Hearts, Minds, & Wallets
Investments in content marketing are on the rise, but few companies have fully realised what the best practices are for creating high-quality content over a long period of time. Developing ideas for effective marketing can be a challenge. This session will help you to:
- Develop a framework for creative and efficient content creation.
- Find resources and ideas where others cannot.
- Leverage a mix of evergreen, repurposed, curated, and co-created content for better marketing results.
- Apply SEO and social media optimization principles to amplify content reach and engagement.
The top 2 live tweeters during my #SESLON session will win a copy of Optimize (sorry, no "Optimise" version is available)
I hope to see you there!

Topic - Travel Insurance - should/need I ?
sarahjk - on 02 Jan 2013
So I am looking at a couple of trips at least this year; week in Spain in Feb, bolt clipping and maybe some trad. Cheap flight booked, car bunk house etc. Second trip is looking like a hut to hut hike, possibly Tour de Mont Blanc. Anything else is a bonus !
I will probably get Austrian Alpine Club for mountain rescue and also hut discounts, and have BMC membership. I also have whatever the new equivalent of the E111 is.
Should I bother with travel insurance as well ? What exactly does it cover ? I have seen prices from Ł20 to Ł120, rather a worrying variety.
No horror stories ! I have enough in the bank to get a flight home if family crisis, and if stupid enough to loose my pack, slap me ! Not going to any war zones etc !

Model Number:
Rule the road or trails with the Tifosi Tyrant. The Tyrant helps you to take charge with 3 interchangeable lenses, so you can take control what you see. The Tyrant is best suited for small to medium face shapes.
Weight, Fit and Measurements
Comments: Great pair of sunglasses. I have gone through a couple over the last few years. They fit great, are lightweight and comfortable to wear. The only complaint I would have is the changing of the lenses can be a little challenging. I have broken the charcoal lenses each time I have tried to change the lense. Also, mine fog up pretty easily on early morning runs. From: Mike, Atlanta, GA, USA
Comments: After checking out Tifosis in years past, they had always seemed comparable to $40 Ryders or Optic Nerve glasses. Nothing wrong with that, except they were $70. I needed to replace my cheapo Ryders and happened to be in a running store that had these glasses on display so I tried them on. Immediately I was impressed with the materials and construction - MUCH better than I had remembered and MUCH better than the $129 Smith Parallels I used to have. The best part about these is that they sit a bit further from my face than other glasses so, along with holes in the lenses, they hardly ever fog up. Optical quality is quite good - at least as good as the Smiths. The adjustable temples should also allow for a better fit. I have a medium sized head and these fit my wife's small head so well I ordered a pair for her too. At almost have the price of the Parallels I think you get a much better product in the Tyrant. From: Sky, HVL, CA, USA
Please include any relevant information such as weekly mileage, training or race pace, or foot type.

Jamón Serrano is a passion in Spain, where every restaurant and tapas bar features Serrano hams ready to be sliced. The hams are cured for well over a year in the mountains of Spain, and have a complex flavor and mild saltiness that make jamón one of our favorite tapas. We slice imported ham extra thinly, so that you can enjoy the true taste Serrano. And since we slice daily, our Peregrino jamón is the freshest you can get.
Our favorite way to enjoy Jamón Serrano is simple - on a warm platter with some good crusty bread and a glass of Spanish wine. A bocadillo sandwich is another classic Spanish treat – simply cut a fresh baguette in half, drizzle with olive oil and add sliced Serrano ham, perhaps with some slices of Manchego cheese. Once you get the taste for jamón, there are dozens of ways to enjoy it – wrapped around melon, diced and cooked with vegetables, sprinkled on fresh salads or added to paella or pasta, to name a few.
Over thousands of years the people of Spain developed the ideal method to preserve ham as a way to save meat for the coming winter. The hams are salted, and then hung in mountain curing rooms where they experience the changing seasons, losing up to 40% of their fat and developing deep, complex flavors. They continue to be cured using these same techniques, albeit with the benefits of modern technology.
We are proud to offer the freshest sliced jamón in the country. Instead of buying sliced meat in Spain, we bring the hams to our facilities and slice them weekly to ensure the freshest most flavorful Serrano you can buy. Our sliced Serrano ham is fully cured and ready to serve with no cooking necessary. In the original unopened package, these slices will stay fresh for weeks, if not longer.
Ham, sea salt, sodium nitrite and potassium nitrate.

New Data Reveal Millions Affected
Millions of people across the Nation live under the strain of depression. According to SAMHSA data, an estimated 2.0 million adolescents and 16.5 million adults age 18 or older experienced at least one major depressive episode (MDE) in 2007.
Did all of these people receive treatment? Unfortunately, no they didn't, according to two new reports from SAMHSA's National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH).
In fact, less than 40 percent of adolescents who experienced at least one past-year MDE received treatment in the same time period. For adults, the numbers are a bit more encouraging—64.5 percent of those who experienced MDE sought treatment in 2007.
Among those who received treatment for depression in the past year, 53.2 percent saw or talked to a medical doctor or other professional about depression, but did not take prescription medication for depression. In addition, 40.4 percent saw or talked to a medical doctor or other professional about depression and used prescription medication for depression. The remainder (6.4 percent) took prescription medication for depression, but did not see or talk to a medical doctor or other professional about depression.
Of adults who were treated, 68.8 percent consulted with or received treatment from a health professional and also used prescription medication for their depression. Another 24.0 percent saw or talked to a health professional but did not use a prescription medication. And 7.1 percent
took prescription medication but did not see or talk with a medical doctor
or other professional.

As of Tuesday, March 12, 2013

Folks in the home building industry (victims of big government manipulation in what should be a free market) are not impressed by the current wailing and moaning in Washington over sequester cuts. We lost homes, careers, savings, wives, self esteem, at least five years of productive living and more.
Government intervention into the economy distorts what should be minor swings in supply and demand and results in the kind of huge corrections we are now experiencing. Washington, fix your problems and stay out of the private sector.

The films compare the rise of the Neo-Conservative movement in the United States and the radical Islamist movement, making comparisons on their origins and claiming similarities between the two. More controversially, it argues that the threat of radical Islamism as a massive, sinister organised force of destruction, specifically in the form of al-Qaeda, is a myth perpetrated by politicians in many countries—and particularly American Neo-Conservatives—in an attempt to unite and inspire their people following the failure of earlier, more utopian ideologies.

Zuckerberg's 2012 tax bill: $2 billion?
Facebook's IPO indicates its founder will pay a hefty tax bill for exercising stock options. That income is taxed at the 35% rate, since entrepreneurs don't get the same treatment as investors.
This post is by Robert Frank of The Wall Street Journal.
Buried in the registration statement of Facebook's IPO was this startling line:
"We expect that substantially all of the net proceeds Mr. Zuckerberg will receive upon such sale will be used to satisfy taxes that he will incur upon his exercise of an outstanding stock option to purchase 120 million shares of our Class B common stock."
What that means, in dollar terms, is that Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg may face a tax bill this year of more than $2 billion. The Financial Times puts the figure at $1.5 billion. But if the IPO values the company at the hoped-for $100 billion, his bill could be higher.
Facebook declined comment. But here's the math. Zuckerberg received the 120 million options in 2005, presumably for being CEO and being, well, Mark Zuckerberg. Those options will be treated as ordinary income, which means he would pay the top federal income tax rate of 35%.
The cost basis for those options is 6 cents a share. So if the company is valued at $100 billion, and the shares are valued at around $50 each, his gain from the sale would be up to $6 billion. Taxed at 35%, the tax bill would be more than $2 billion. The FT puts a more conservative value on the company for its $1.5 billion total. (Post continues below video.)
What's more, Zuckerberg would have to pay an additional 10.3% for California state taxes, though he would likely be able to deduct those taxes from his federal bill.
It's unclear whether the $2 billion would make him America's biggest taxpayer, since the IRS doesn't disclose such things. But given that the 400 top earners in the United States paid an average of $48 million each in taxes, chances are he'll be at least one of the biggest taxpayers in 2012 or 2013.
Zuckerberg's tax bill will also provide an important counterpoint to the notion that the rich pay lower tax rates than the rest of America. That may be true for professional investors and private-equity chiefs, but not for dot-commers and many entrepreneurs.

Usual Suspects---- You think Bill Gates holds a seminar on how to avoid taxes?
I love these discussions because it always comes down to some sorry A**, jealous slacker saying "he still has plenty", meanwhile they pay less than 8% in taxes. Stop being jealous and looking to get out of helping this country by wishing bad on the rich. We (entrepreneurs) take all the risk, work ungodly hours, take almost no days off, sacrifice to pay the bills, meet payroll etc only to be loathed by simple minded robots who are afraid to try and make it themselves. Risk is punished when it fails, it shouldnt be punished when it succeeds also. We dont have to fear China taking over. We have to worry about the majority of this country who seem like they want to join them. The rich who pay less than 15% in taxes dont use any special tricks, they invested the money they earned (usually in this country in the form of municipal bonds that are tax free) you can do the same thing. Take the $10.00 a day you spend on coffee or manicures and invest it. Rich people dont pay 15% on INCOME tax you morons, they pay 35%, it is their investments (risks) that they pay less tax on. If they have 100,000,000 million to invest that means they probably earned 500,000,000 to get to that point and paid 175,000,000 in INCOME taxes already. When is enough enough?
This is funny...I just love how 95% of the people in this country hate the fact that there are those who are talented, and get up in the morning and go out and chase their dreams. They go out and work harder than most and then the general population claims they don't deserve to make any profit from their errorts.
The Wealthy don't have side avenues to go down to avoid taxes, Yes, they give to charity because they HAVE the ability to do so.
It is time to stop complaining, calling headaches disabilities, and camping out in parks spreading germs and disease and go find something to DO! Work is everywhere, may not be what you want to do but there is always something that needs to be done.
Need to clarify a few things
Usual Suspects--- You think the world 2nd wealthiest man holds seminars on how to avoid taxes and you think I have problems with reality?
Phil 99-- I didnt whine, I was pointing out that we dont have wealth handed to us, we work for it, take chances and invest in ourselves so we deserve the rewards, we dont deserve to be punished for success.
Daniel Lopez--- The reason people stick up for the 1% is because the class warfare that is trying to be waged isnt just on the 1 % its actually on the top 25%, you know the percentage that pays 75% of the bills. I get involved because the rational of "hey he still has more than me after he pays his taxes" is based on jealousy and envy and not fairness. If he paid 99% tax he would still have 60,000,000 left and be richer than you, should that be the tax rate for the wealthy? If you think so go look at the 60's, 70's and early 80's when tax rates for the wealthy werre in the 70% range and the country was in shambles. Intrest rates were 14 percent on mortgages, car dealerships closed up by the hundreds because nobody could afford 19 % car loans.
It doesnt really matter. Mark Z got uber rich, uber fast. that meeting he had with Obama a little while ago doesnt mean much either. Z knows all too well that, he has to make sure he is on the side with america. Therefore he will pay what ever tax bill he gets. All horse#&*$. Next time, I can assure you Z will not be paying high taxes. Look at it this way, ahhh why bother. Ha Ha

Paul's two platoon buddies jumped into the plane and the small crew headed the large C-47 down the airstrip, off to a familiar mission: flying the 'Hump'. It was a weekly run made from their Army Air Force base out of Chauboy, India and though seemingly routine, the flight was laden with danger. Their mission was to jump their plane over the Himalaya Mountains and plunge down over enemy lines; quickly dropping food and supplies to the American troops.
On this particular day, nothing was out of order. Every operational detail was normal; another run, another mission. Swooping over the large, majestic mountains, the plane dipped its belly close to the ground. As the men found their target area, one soldier swiftly pulled open the large side door and both began kicking the supply bags to the ground. But suddenly, the sound of bullets from Japanese soldiers was heard ricocheting off the side of the plane and Paul began to blindly fire his pistol from the door. And then with little warning, the plane's belly hit bottom, crashing behind enemy lines.
The spellbinding story of my father, Sgt Paul W. Capps, was a small piece of his total war experience during World War 11. But it was never heard until a few years before his death. A man of few words, stories such as these were buried deep within his soul, concealed from view.
A few years before my father died, I presented him with a Father's Day gift: a journal. Explaining I had always longed to hear of his experiences of the war, perhaps he could finally feel comfortable writing them down. But what I was unconscious of at the time was there were few memories left: The evilest of enemies, dementia, had seized his precious memories of days past.
Weeks later the journal was returned, pages filled with stories of the war, but to my dismay, my mother had composed them. Attempting to provide me with some of dad's memories, mother did her best to rewrite the stories he had told her so long ago. I cherish the journal but much of the details, the little precious nuggets of his experiences, were never told.
The story of my father and fellow soldiers sweeping their plane behind enemy lines was described briefly, hidden within a journal of mostly mundane stories. Fortunately, he survived the crash without injury or enemy capture, but I was stunned to learn of such a life changing adventure. And I long for more details to fill in the missing pieces of the stories of his war years.
On this Father's Day, grab the moment to discover all the details of your father's stories. Whatever his great adventures were, they were unique to him. And a hundred years from now, your father's descendants will be probing for records and searching for stories. Visit with your grandfather and father and help them write their stories. Seize the memories before they are stolen from them; so their stories will not be left for others to complete.
Keeping searching for answers,
**Here's another tip: Put together a memory box of your dad's records; military, medals, letters, etc and search through Ancestry.com and other sites for draft records, and other documents. His descendants will be forever grateful.

Strong dollar smashes stocks
Haven inflows into the dollar are upending the entire risk-on complex of commodities, foreign stocks and precious metals.
After Superstorm Sandy closed the New York Stock Exchange for two days -- the longest weather-related closure since 1888 -- the week has been a bit of a snoozer.
That all changed Friday as the selling pressure I've been warning about returned, thanks to a strong breakout by the U.S. dollar, something that hasn't been seen since the May market meltdown.
This is a big deal, since hedge fund types sell the dollar short to leverage their trades in areas like gold, silver, oil, copper and foreign issues. So when the dollar rises, these trades are reversed and selling begets selling.
Why is this happening? And will it continue?
I can see a number of reasons that the dollar was bid Friday, including unresolved political issues like the fiscal cliff of tax hikes and spending cuts worth some 5% of GDP, the real-time unraveling of the social fabric in New Jersey and elsewhere as citizens scramble for fuel and food, and a deterioration of the situation in Europe.
And from a technical perspective, the dollar's push above its upper Bollinger Band has historically been a sign of uptrend initiation. I expect it to continue to rise into 2013.
I recommend my clients and readers continue to maintain a neutral to defensive positioning, raising cash and moving into Treasury bonds while using targeted short positions against weak areas such as energy and foreign stocks.
Internal measures of market strength remain unimpressive, with fewer stocks holding the market at current levels as buyers find fewer and fewer issues compelling at current prices.
Also, the widening divergence between both CEO and investor pessimism and consumer confidence (which by one measure has hit a new post-recession high) has me convinced households haven't prepared for the political turbulence about to hit Washington after the election.
It's like this: Don't expect a fiscal cliff deal unless we get another credit rating downgrade and/or we suffer through significant and painful financial market turbulence that damages the real economy at a time of vulnerability given Europe's unresolved issues and China's attempt to reaccelerate without inflationary monetary policy stimulus. Democrats and Republicans can't strike a deal unless they're looking down the barrel of a loaded gun.
Speaking of Europe, the situation in Greece is deteriorating. Credit Suisse estimates the country needs another €24 billion to fund a two-year bailout extension. This will need to be provided by other Eurozone countries, either through direct aid or write-offs of existing holdings. Another idea, to buy discounted Greek bonds in the open market and retire them, would require recapitalization of Greek banks.
There is no easy answer.
Adding to the pressure is growing German resistance to more aid, Greek resistance to new austerity measures, and a fracturing of the ruling coalition government in Athens.
To summarize, there is simply too much political risk out there -- which is, by nature, unpredictable. CEOs and investors understand this and are doing things like cutting back hiring and spending plans and looking for safety in the dollar. Consumers distracted by Hurricane Sandy, the presidential election, and Halloween celebrations don't yet. They will.
In response, I am adding a new short position against Baidu (BIDU) to my Edge Letter Sample Portfolio. Current holdings include the ProShares UltraShort Oil & Gas (DUG).
Disclosure: Anthony has recommended BIDU short and DUG to his clients.

The house has passed an extension of current tax policy and a budget. The Senate has been absent from the game. So, after the election results are counted, the Senate will have to decide what to do.
First, the house will stay in the control of the Republicans. Second, I would be shocked to see the democrats retain control of the Senate. The question is it going to be a one vote margin, 5 vote, or 9 vote. Regaurdless of who wins the Presidency, the Seante will act on the fiscal cliff. They have no choice. None of them want to be blamed for driving off the cliff. Noone will care about extending the debt.
If Obama wins, then the house will have to raise taxes on the rich. If Romney wins, then the lame duck session will last all of about 48 hours. Senate on voice votes passes the house already approved tax extension. The debt limit is raise $500B. Obama can sign or throw a hissy fit.
Romney, will stand up and say, we have a bunch of work to do next congress, lets kiss and make up and move forward.
Panic time at Christmas because of the strong dollar.
Inflation defeated, oddly enough is a good thing for the economy, maybe not Wall Street.
If Obama wins rich will be taxed, middle class will shrink dramaticly, nobody will have any money which will strengthen the dollar even further, and kiss the stock market goodbye.
