An IRCE 2013 speaker details Facebook tactics.
Pet food e-retailer PetFlow.com posted a large photo on Facebook last Friday of a fuzzy brown and black puppy, sprawled out on the grass, his paws extended and eyes fixed on the camera. The caption read, "I'm adorable. And I know it!"
Twenty-six minutes later, the post had garnered more than 2,900 Likes and 74 comments, and more than 250 people had shared the post on their Facebook Timelines. Forty-eight hours later, those numbers were far higher—13,000 Likes, 250 comments and 2,100 shares.
This type of viral sharing is an everyday occurrence for the pet food e-retailer. The merchant makes a point to post a silly pet photo or video to its fans around 20 times per day—and each of them gets dozens or more comments, thousands of Likes and hundreds if not thousands of shares. And those consumer responses lead to sales—lots of them, says Alex Zhardanovsky, the founder of PetFlow.com.
Zhardanovsky will walk attendees through the step-by-step process he followed to build a loyal following on Facebook, and how that following impacts the bottom line, on June 6 at the Internet Retailer Conference & Exhibition 2013 in a featured address entitled, "How social marketing became the rocket fuel for a small start-up."
With around a $200,000 investment in targeted ads on Facebook, PetFlow.com has built its fan base from around 20,000 in February 2012 to more than 700,000 today. And the e-retailer is benefitting massively from this highly engaged audience, as the merchant directly attributes at least one-third, or $10 million, of its $30 million in sales in 2012 to its social media marketing strategy.
In his session, Zhardanovsky will also explain how social media marketing is unlike any other online marketing tactic. "The problem with any other form of media except for Facebook, whether it's TV or print or other online advertising, [is that] the dollars you spend on marketing stop paying off when your advertising stops," he says. "With Facebook, our fans were acquired and there was a cost for that, but now I can advertise to them for free."
Internet Retailer editors asked Zhardanovsky to speak because of his prowess with social media and the success with PetFlow.com—founded in late 2010, the pet food retailer is on track to bring in $65 million in online sales in 2013, Zhardanovsky says, with nearly all of the growth attributed to its social media marketing strategy.
PetFlow.com's social media prowess also shows up in its No. 1 ranking in the Internet Retailer Social Media 300, which ranks online merchants based on the percentage of web site traffic they receive from social networks.

Earlybirds at Matiatia rallied to help an expecting mother when her baby decided he was in a hurry to see the world.
Joshua Demchy was born on a blue plastic sheet on the first aid room floor at the wharf terminal at 6.25am on Monday.
Palm Beach resident Rachel Demchy's waters broke at 2.30am and contractions started at 4.45am.
The contractions were 10 minutes apart when she and her husband, Waiheke RSA manager Brendan Demchy, left to catch the 6.05am ferry.
Brendan says: "By the time we got to the wharf, an eight minute ride away, they were only two minutes apart. By the time she had walked half the distance to the boat they were 30 seconds apart.
"I was on the phone to the ambulance who told me to find a place to lay her down to have the baby."
Two commuting nurses stopped to help, grabbed a wheelchair to move Rachel, and Fullers staff member Michelle Neil opened the first aid room.
"Our midwife Linda Hodson was at the other end of the island so couldn't get there. We had a midwife ready to meet us in Auckland but weren't going to make it.
"One of the nurses saw a commuting midwife she knew, Juniper Tengblad, who got back off the ferry to deliver the baby.
Then another midwife, Kirstin Kesting, arrived to take over so Juniper could catch her ferry and get to work," Brendan says.
"I couldn't climb up on to the first aid bed so had him on the floor!" Rachel says.
It wasn't Rachel's first quick delivery.
"Our first-born Caleb was born two months early. I went into labour on the ferry on the way to work. He was born three hours later.
"They say number two usually comes in half the time but this one wouldn't even let me get on the ferry."
Their one-day-early bundle of joy, fifth generation Waiheke Islander Joshua, weighed in at 8lb 4oz.
"Nana" Laurene Butler was delighted to be present for the birth, and Brendan's brother and sister-in-law were able to meet Joshua.
Brendan sends thanks to everyone who helped.
"To the commuters who stopped to check we were OK, the nurses and midwives, the ambulance guy Billy and Fullers staff."

...The test itself is set up very differently than most tests they've ever taken. However, it is one of the easiest tests to make great improvements on with targeted practice. In order to approach studying for the GRE effectively, I usually begin with analyzing a student's practice test to first identify each student's specific gaps to work on, as well as to maximize their strengths.

The Associated Press
GRAND FORKS, N.D. — A North Dakota company that discovered an antibody technology while trying to cure flocks of dying geese is using its research for a more warm and fuzzy purpose: saving puppies.
Early tests performed on about 50 puppies in seven states for Grand Forks-based Avianax have resulted in a 90 percent cure rate for canine parvovirus, which spreads through animal waste and direct contact between dogs, usually at kennels, shelters and shows. Some puppies die from the virus and others are euthanized because the antibiotics and other medicine needed to treat it can be too expensive — sometimes up to $2,000 — and take too long.
It isn't clear how many dogs contract parvo annually, since the disease isn't required to be reported. At the Kansas City Pet Project, one of eight test sites and among the largest shelters in the United States, about five cases a month wind up on the "parvo ward." Officials with the Missouri shelter believe the treatment will lead to a dramatic increase in their "parvo graduates."
"When the box arrived we were yelling, 'Woo, the geese antibodies are here!'" shelter spokeswoman Tori Fugate said. "Just the fact that someone is caring out there is pretty remarkable. A lot of open admission shelters choose to not treat parvo because it's considered too much of a resource."
Avianax chief operating officer Richard Glynn hopes to start selling the parvoONE antibody-based treatment — that is, harvested from the yokes of goose eggs — for $75 a dose by next spring.
"I think there will be a lot of puppy owners who will be very happy," Glynn said.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture issued a conditional permit for the field trials that are taking place in sites in Missouri, North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Texas, North Carolina and Arizona. Such permits are normally reserved for outbreaks or other dire situations, but this one passed muster because there's no product specifically targeted for parvovirus, said Jeremy Vrchota, Avianax's sales director and regulatory liaison.
Officials with the USDA's Animal and Plant Inspection Service did not respond to phone messages left by The Associated Press.
The company's path to puppy love began a decade ago after a mysterious disease — later found to be West Nile virus — spread among flocks at the South Dakota-based Schiltz Goose Farm, the largest goose producer in North America. Farm owners James and Richard Schiltz and Glynn, who was working for them, found researchers at the University of North Dakota who were interested in the project.
The group, led by Dr. David Bradley, the UND medical school's chair of microbiology and immunization, discovered antibodies in the geese that they could purify and put back into other birds. The treatment worked.
"We went to the Mayo Clinic and they looked at all our work," Glynn said. "They called it a game-changing technology."
Avianax quickly found promising links between goose antibodies and treatments for other diseases, including rabies, dengue fever, avian flu and some cancers. Because they didn't have the money or time to explore testing for human diseases, the group set their sights on the veterinary market and eventually settled on saving puppies.
Treating parvovirus currently can cost, at a minimum, $500 for antibiotics, intravenous fluids, painkillers and stomach medicine and generally takes six days, said Dr. Darin Meulebroeck, chief medical officer for Avianax. The trials have shown the new drug can work quickly as two days, he said.
"We've lost a couple that have been so severe ... there's no drug that is going to treat 100 percent of everything," Meulebroeck said.
The tests run through November.
Glynn said Avianax has "stuck in there" with the help of key researchers and believes it is on the verge of saving human lives with a similar antibody— although it could take more than five years to reach the market. The U.S. Army is interested in using the technology for Andres virus, which has been found to lead to a fatal respiratory disease. Safety trials are scheduled in the next two years.
"We went from being goose herders from South Dakota to an antibody company," Glynn said. "And we're not done yet."

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 01/29/13 -- Sangoma Technologies Corporation (TSX VENTURE:STC), a leading provider of hardware and software components that enable or enhance IP Communications Systems for both voice and data, will highlight several advanced networking and communications technologies and applications in a newly redesigned exhibit space at the ITEXPO Miami 2013 Conference. The event will take place at the Miami Beach Convention Center in Miami Beach, Florida from January 30 through February 1, 2013. Sangoma will be located in booth #501 throughout the exhibition.
Highlighting the event will be Sangoma's introduction of its new line of Session Border Controller products, which are targeted to serve the needs of both service providers and enterprise customers. Sangoma will also showcase its 2012 INTERNET TELEPHONY Product of the Year NetBorder(TM) Lync Express, the only all-in-one Lync server appliance with a built-in VoIP gateway. In addition, the company will also exhibit a number of other technologies, including its highly-regarded award-winning telephony board products.
"We are very pleased that our company is taking an active role at ITEXPO to demonstrate how innovative solutions can have a very tangible impact on network performance and operations," said Doug Vilim, Sangoma's vice president of worldwide sales. "The launch of the new SBC family, combined with the successes of Lync Express and our other products, will help reinforce Sangoma's commitment to serving an ever-changing market. ITEXPO gives us-and our partners throughout the world-a unique opportunity to share our vision and successes firsthand with our primary audiences. We have every expectation that our products and offerings will continue to fuel the growth and success of the company and will be very well-received."
Several of Sangoma's key technology and distribution partners will participate in ITEXPO, providing a unique insight into how these offerings are utilized to improve network performance and efficiency. These partners include:
Acqueon (Booth #516) NetSapiens (Booth #311) Avanzada7 (Booth #523) Noble Systems (Booth #635) Commetrex Corporation (Booth #612) Snom (Booth #429) Denwa (Booth #723) SoTel Systems (Booth #501 with Sangoma) Elastix (Booth #523) VICIdial (Booth #818) Genesys (Booth #607) Vitelity Communications (Booth #301) Intelepeer (Booth #516) VoIP Innovations (Booth #506) Interactive Intelligence (Booth #409) XmarteK (Booth #914)
In addition to exhibiting, several partners will join Sangoma in Booth #501 for the "Ask the Experts" series, where IT professionals and end users can ask Sangoma technologists and professionals for guidance in resolving specific networking issues.
"Sangoma has seen significant market-share growth throughout the Central and Latin American regions that has been bolstered by many of the partners that are participating in ITEXPO," said Ernesto Casas, Sangoma director of sales for Central America and Latin America. "For example, Argentina-based Denwa serves the entire South and Central American region with innovative next-generation communications solutions that rely almost exclusively on Sangoma hardware and software. We are very excited to continue to build momentum in this region by strengthening our partnerships with leading solution providers."
"We are delighted that Sangoma has chosen ITEXPO to introduce its new Session Border Controller products," said Dave Rodriquez, president of Technology Marketing Corporation.

Mobility Whitepapers
Four trends continue to drive changes in the field service market: an increased focus on workforce optimization, improved service quality levels, a move to more flexible software models (for example, software as a service or cloud), and wireless mobility. Read on.
This whitepaper discusses the challenge of BYOD and how best-practice deployments help deliver on the business promise of mobility with integrated protection throughout the workplace. See why flexible, end-to-end security enables enterprises to speed adoption of transformative technologies for a competitive edge, why if employees feel that security policies impede productivity or encroach on personal data, they look for work-arounds and how integrated solutions that avoid overlapping functionality and streamline management can help organizations maintain tight security and ensure compliance.
In 2014, more users will connect to the internet over mobile devices than desktop PCs. In this infographic, we look at the increasing demand caused by mobility and how to deliver a strategy that both user-centric and performance based. Click to download!
This explosion of BYOD policies has taken a toll on already strained IT departments as they struggle to manage and secure corporate assets and data in this environment. This whitepaper details how containerization technologies can help to balance the corporation's needs for manageability and security with employees' demands for choice and freedom.
The key trend affecting enterprise mobility today can be summarized in four letters: BYOD – Bring Your Own Device. As the number of end-users bringing devices into your organization grows, so does the need for an effective Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) solution. Learn how to manage devices across multiple platforms all from a single, centralised and unified management console. Download for more!
To secure mobile devices while enabling employees to share data securely, organisations need a comprehensive and flexible solution for secure enterprise content mobility. A secure enterprise content mobility solution complements Mobile Device Management (MDM) solutions and enables mobile workers to easily share data with other authorised users, while ensuring that data is always secure and IT operations are always compliant. Read this whitepaper to learn: How the popularity of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) is creating new security challenges; Why MDM is useful, but not sufficient; How enterprise content mobility provides an essential layer of security and control for organisations with mobile users.
As consumerisation continues to transform IT, organisations are moving quickly to design strategies to allow BYOD in the workplace. This paper provides IT executives with guidance to develop a complete BYOD strategy which gives people optimal freedom of choice while helping IT adapt to consumerisation - at the same time addressing requirements for security, simplicity and cost reduction. Find out how device ownership eases IT burdens in endpoint procurement and management. Click to download!
Consumer file sharing and synchronization apps like Dropbox have caught on with business users. But these apps lack the security, centralized administration and management of enterprise solutions. Learn about the requirements you should look for in an enterprise-class mobile file sharing solution.
This whitepaper discusses how the BYOD mega-trend will affect businesses; explores the IT challenges involved, and outlines the technology solutions available. Read on to discover the business activity driving these trends, plus a new way to address the challenges, allowing end users the freedom to bring their choice of device to work while still affording IT the controls to ensure security and prevent data loss.
This report details the observations and findings from nine in-depth interviews and executive roundtable discussions conducted by IBRS in 2012 regarding BYOD in education powered by Intel®. • The more significant issue for education was not the device but the delivery of software and services that impact educational activities • There is not one approach that fits all educational institutions – or even a single approach that can be used across a single school • A broad cross-section of peers involved from across the education spectrum were represented at each roundtable, held in seven cities across ANZ region

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful
The hotel did smell of cigarette smoke even in the non smoking areas
The hotel has a decent location, but the room was old and smelly.
The smell. The air was thick and hard to breath. The smell lingered in my clothes the next day. Terrible
As BW's go this one meets standards in room cleanliness and bed comfort. It was quiet and the staff was mostly cordial. Hot breakfast was just as good as Apple Annie's down the street so take advantage of that built in cost.
This is too far away from Kings Canyon and The Sequioa Nationa Park 1 hour and thirty minutes. Wenthoughtbit was close by the description - should have checked map first.
My mom left her cane in her room and realized it before we headed out of town. We called and asked if housekeeping had turned it in at around 2:30pm. The front desk told her no and to check back in a few hours. We ate lunch and then drove back to hotel and the desk said no one turned it in - we only went one place Before she realized she didn't have it - it was in the room but never made it to lost and found.
The breakfast there excellent! Waffles, fruit, and much more options.
Beds little hard. And if the could make available milk to drink not just for cereal my kids would have been happier.
The place smelled bad, its falling apart from the inside, the staff is completely uncaring and even though you call to make sure to verify information, they still manage to change it by the time you show up and change 20$ by the time you check in. The worst experience i have had in a hotel.
Good location
Bad cleanliness
The sheets were clean and the location was near the highway to Sequoia.
The pool is not in service which was a huge disappointment. The owner said that the pool will be fixed in a couple weeks, but it looks like that water has been there for months. When we asked about a discount because the pool is out of service, we were told nothing could be done because we booked through a third party. This hotel should remove any mention of having a pool.
Also, no iron is in the room.
The breakfast is not anything special. Here is what was available:
-waffle maker
-bread and toaster
On our checkout day, we got a call at 10:45 telling us that checkout was at 11. At 11, housekeeping showed up and basically kicked us out.
I would not stay here again. There are better hotels in the area.
Pros: Hotel was clean and safe. 24-hour check-in. Hotel had been renovated in the last five years (which you don't always get for a hotel in this price category). AC worked well (which was important; it was pretty hot!) Pleasant staff. Hotel is conveniently across the street from a Starbucks, sub sandwich shop, and many other convenient stores and pharmacies. Hotel is about 45 min from the Foothills entrance to Sequoia National Park. It's about 1.5-2 hours from the General Grant Tree, Lodgepole Base, Big Tree Museum, etc., since these are in the interior of the park. Overall, this hotel was only $65, and it was clean and safe, so you could do a lot worse!!
Cons: Included breakfast was not too good. Unhealthy, starchy options; coffee was really poor. Also, this hotel is evidently really trying to save money -- there were lots of signs all over warning you of extra fees if you get the towels too dirty, or remove them from the room during the day (say, to go swimming in the many nearby swimming holes). They tried to save so much money that they unplugged every lamp and even the fridge during the day. This was frustrating when we came back to the room with sandwiches one night. We wanted to put them in the fridge to bring them hiking the next day, but the fridge had been unplugged and was warm inside, and would take many hours to get cool again. So we had to throw our sandwiches away. :-( Same thing with putting breakfast items in your room -- it's tricky, because fridge will be unplugged during the day.
Room smelled like Ben-gay
I liked the Queen beds, the large rooms, fridge, microwave, continental breakfast, hot tub.
The food supply for the continental breakfast was not kept up during breakfast hours. It appeared that staff felt irritated when I asked for more yogurt, coffee, etc. Also we did not get room service for the first days. We asked for more towels after all our dirty ones were taken and weren't replaced by clean ones.
Nice rooms for a few nights. Somewhat close to Sequoia and Kings Canyon.
Hot tub was shut down for the 3 nights we had reserved. One of the main reasons we booked besides being close to the national parks. The clerk the night I checked in didn't seem to concerned to get it fixed. He wasn't rude but didn't seem to care either.
The location was great...walk across to IHOP for meals...breakfast served was excellent..the staff are friendly and helpful...special mention to Jessica and Maria...and the housekeeper who graciously taught us old crows how to get the hair dryer going again with a simple push of the reset button (lol)....will definitely stay there again and recommend...
Tulare is a cute little town and the hotel was clean and convenient. It was also a good value.
Very comfortable accommodations. Staff upgraded our room upon arrival! Breakfast was amazing.
Sound travels to other rooms.
Doesnt value for money. It eas too expensive due to long weekend.
Great service, quality free toiletries, awesome breakfast buffet.
AC a little loud.
Everything except....
The eggs and the Canadian bacon
Quiet, close to restaurants gas stations and main freeway. Front desk customer service was ok. Housekeeper I ran into was very friendly, offered me extra clean towels.
The NON SMOKING room we got smelled like smoke but we got used to the smell. TV was outdated and carpet was stained.
Cheap and fast
What appeared to be hookers walking up and down the stairs from 11pm to 2 am dressed with very short skirts and yelling at men
There was hair all over the bathroom floor. It didn't feel like it was thoroughly cleaned after the last guest. I would have asked to be switched to a different room but it was sold out & it was10:00 pm. It was very noisy as well. Our room was in front of the ice machine. There was a lot of traffic even after 10 pm. As well as the neighbors above us. Which I understand can't always be helped. We had a restless night.
Lobby was cute and remodeled.... So I was hoping for the best... Wrong. Room #1, roaches... Room #2, roaches. Took 2 days after leaving to get a refund. Don't stay here...
The price
The bed was confortable
Location (not much around)
Pillows were too soft
No microwave in room
Here's why:

Harris Talks Illini
Stillwell (KS) product A.J. Harris watched his friend and Blue Valley High School teammate Henry McGrew go through the recruitment process. When McGrew committed to Illinois in June, Harris paid close attention. Now, after excelling for the Tigers through the regular season, the 2015 offensive tackle has his own offer from the Illini. "Earlier in the year, Henry said it was in a letter that they planned to offer me," Harris said. "It just happened that we opened up some letters from Illinois. It was from Coach Ricker, and he said 'I hope you are doing well, that you have an offer from us, and contact me as soon as you can.'" Harris reached out to the Illinois offensive line coach to confirm that the offer was still good. "We called him the next night, and we just talked," the three-star prospect said. "Coach Ricker said that, if I come up there, they are playing a lot of young people, and that I'd be a three or four-year starter if I went up there." The Blue Valley tackle has become one of the best players in the Eastern Kansas League, and one of the top prospects in The Sunflower State for 2015. After landing early offers from Missouri, Kansas State, and Iowa State, Illinois was the first Big Ten school to extend an offer. "I heard the gameday atmosphere there is really amazing," he said of Champaign. "I know Coach Beckman is the head coach, and they've been having a tough schedule. He told me, 'I like how dominant your film was. Your run blocking was really good, and you have a lot of athletic ability.'" Harris has a high opinion of Illinois, and the quality of education available there is a draw for he and his family. "I know the school is one of the top schools in the nation. That plays a big part in my decision. I like that it has really good academics along with football."

* Weighs in on antitrust suit against Teva, Pfizer's Wyeth unit
* Offers assessment in friends-of-court brief
Aug 13 The Federal Trade Commission said makers of branded drugs that settle patent challenges by promising not to launch their own generic alternatives are using such agreements to delay generic competition.
In a friend-of-the-court brief, the regulatory agency said such patent settlements in which drug companies agree not to launch their own authorized generic versions are a way of paying a generic rival to delay their entry into the market.
The assessment came as a federal court in New Jersey that oversees many lawsuits against drug companies weighs a private antitrust challenge to such an agreement between Pfizer Inc's Wyeth unit and Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Ltd , the world's largest generic drug maker.
"Empirical evidence confirms what the pharmaceutical industry has long understood: that a no-(authorized generic) commitment provides a convenient method for branded drug firms to pay generic patent challengers for agreeing to delay entry," the agency said in the proposed friend-of-the-court brief filed on Friday.
A court should "carefully consider the economic realities of no-AG commitments and their impact on consumers," it added.
The FTC comments were made in antitrust litigation by drugstore firms CVS Caremark Corp and Rite Aid Corp accusing Pfizer and Teva of conspiring to keep generic versions of the popular antidepressant Effexor XR off store shelves.
Pfizer's Wyeth subsidiary said in a statement its settlement agreement with Teva was proper, allowing the entry of generic Effexor XR seven years before its patent expired. The FTC did not express any concerns about the settlement when it originally reviewed the agreement, the company said.
Teva believes the lawsuit is without merit and has filed a motion to dismiss it, a Teva spokeswoman said.
Walgreen Co, Kroger Co, Safeway Inc, Supervalu Inc and HEB Grocery Co made similar claims in a lawsuit filed in the same court in December.
The judge presiding over the Effexor case had asked for briefings to assess how the case was affected by a recent ruling by the 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals that payments by a branded drugmaker to a potential generic rival can be "evidence of an unreasonable restraint of trade" if they keep generic drugs off the market.

Product Description
Bonus Features include: BE Live, Director commentary, Toy Story 3 Sneak Peek: The Characters, Buzz Lightyear Mission Logs: International Space Station, Paths to Pixar: Technical Artists, Studio Stories: Toy Story 2 Sleep Deprivation Lab, Pinocchio, The Movie Vanishes, Pixar's Zoetrop, Celebrating our Friend Joe Ranft
Although the toys look the same as in the 1994 feature, Pixar shows how much technology has advanced: the human characters look more human, backgrounds are superior, and two action sequences that book-end the film are dazzling. And it's a hoot for kids and adults. The film is packed with spoofs, easily accessible in-jokes, and inspired voice casting (with newcomer Joan Cusack especially a delight as Cowgirl Jessie). But as the Pixar canon of films illustrates, the filmmakers are storytellers first. Woody's heart-tugging predicament can easily be translated into the eternal debate of living a good life versus living forever. Toy Story 2 also achieved something in the U.S. two other outstanding 1999 animated features (The Iron Giant, Princess Mononoke) could not: it became a huge box-office hit. --Doug Thomas

Enjoy... I can't wait for it to come out on DVD to once again enjoy the great graphics AND sound effects that so impressed me in the theater last week!
Thanks to Disney rewards points from this movie and others, I ended up being able to get a DVD Bluray + Digital copy of Toy Story 3 for free.
Amazon thoughtfully provides a disclaimer to inform you that you may or may not receive the download in HD, all depending on your internet speed. This disclaimer is prior to purchase and after confirmation the download begins. I was not concerned with this as I always have a very good speed and service with never a downloading issue. Unfortunately, it did not download in HD. I can say that I was fairly warned by the disclaimer, my only complaint is that it would be nice for Amazon to refund the extra money paid for HD when it was not in fact not a HD download.
I am fairly new to the digital movie downloads. So I guess there is a possibility that sometimes it will be viewed in HD also, depending on the internet? Anyway you look at it though, it makes my son happy so it makes me happy!

Boom in Asian entrepreneurs, ability to work with HISD
Houston ISD is looking to hire new contractors after their recently passed billion-dollar bond measure
Tommy: There is good reason for her low trust and favorability ratings. The biased yahoot writer fails to mention she just came off an investigation for her "extreme carelessness" and by any reasonable eye, illegal handling of government emails. Her party's nomination was rigged by the Democratic Party chair, and others, that disenfranchised Bernie Sanders supporters. The Clinton Foundation is currently under investigation for influence peddling. Steady leadership? She can name no real specific achievements other than citing "public service" and that is overwhelmed by her trail of ongoing scandals: Watergate, "sniper fire", Whitewater, Benghazi, and many more ad nauseam. If everything is so great then why "isn't it working as it should?" The Democrats, including her for four years, have had almost eight years to accomplish a porous border, racial divisiveness, higher Obamacare premiums, increased police killings, record number of people on food stamps, shovel-ready jobs that never happened, people who are underemployed or have left the work force, and continued threats of radical Islamic terrorism. And we want more of that? I don't think so.

News and analysis from The Center for Michigan • http://thecenterformichigan.net
©2016 Bridge Michigan. All Rights Reserved. • Join us online at http://bridgemi.com
Original article URL: http://bridgemi.com/2014/08/football-shmootball-ohio-state-gets-serious-in-the-classroom/
26 August 2014
Long known mostly for its football team and marching band, Ohio State can now boast an academic status that's the peer of its athletic prowess.
No Big Ten school has seen the test scores of incoming freshmen climb as fast as Ohio State since 2001. And among public schools in the Big Ten (Northwestern, which is private, has long led on test scores), Ohio State is now second only to Michigan.
Once a school with near open enrollment, Ohio State has scored big in the classroom by making a multi-million-dollar investment in better facilities, talented professors and improved opportunity.
It's gotten to the point where the tougher standards have prompted a common refrain among alumni: I couldn't get into the school today.
Consider: In 2001, a student who scored a 25 (out of 36) on the ACT would have been squarely in the middle of OSU's incoming freshmen class. Now they'd be in the bottom quarter. Ohio State has seen it's "middle 50" scores – akin to football goalposts representing the 25th and 75th percentiles of freshmen scores – jump from 23-28 in 2001 to 27-31 in 2013.
OSU's eagerness to attract higher-achieving students stands in contrast with Michigan State, whose freshmen ACT scores have risen only one point since 2001. While Ohio State and other schools, including the University of Michigan, Iowa and Purdue, have made admission markedly more competitive, MSU officials say they try to balance selectivity with keeping Michigan State accessible to a broad range of in-state students.
How big a change has Ohio State made? No other Big Ten school saw a four-point jump at either the 25th or 75th percentile.
And while 23 is better than 69 percent of all ACT test takers; a 27 is better than 87 percent of ACT test takers nationally. At the top end, the goalpost moved from 91 percent (28) to 97 percent (31).
By raising expectations for incoming students, OSU has succeeded in catching the attention of top students in Ohio and across the country.
"The increase in the ACT range has changed the perception of OSU in their eyes," said Vern Granger, director of admissions at Ohio State. Top high school seniors, according to Granger, now see the school as the academic peer of Michigan and Illinois and in the same orbit as the University of Virginia and the University of North Carolina, other large public universities with highly selective admissions.
It hasn't always been that way. As recently as 2001, OSU was looking up at far smaller Miami University of Ohio when it came to incoming student test scores, a ranking that rankled and one that OSU was already working to reverse.
In the 1990s, Granger said school leaders made a pledge: Improve Ohio State, stem to stern. It bulked up its programs and created a better environment for professors. It poured millions into specific programs, focused on recruiting top professors, setting aside additional money to lure them to Columbus.
It developed internship programs for undergrads and touted their successes. From 1995 to 2003, the average ACT score of incoming freshmen rose from 22.8 to 25.4, a trend that has continued for the next decade.
The school's improvement fed a boon in out-of-state applications and admissions. While just 14 percent of students in 2004 came from beyond Ohio's borders, 28 percent did in 2013.
"That speaks to the reputation and the brand that the university has become," Granger said.
Ohio State's growing allure had a ripple effect on Miami, the former No. 1 public school in Ohio, at least in test scores. Miami began to recruit more aggressively outside of Ohio as the pool of top Buckeye students gravitated to Columbus.
"We're battling it out on the ground," said Michael Kabbaz, vice president for enrollment management at Miami. The school now gets roughly 40 percent of its students from out of state.
It's outside of Ohio that Ohio State has burnished its image, one incoming freshmen class at a time.
"I think there's no doubt that we've become, as far as reputation, a national university," Granger said.
Game on.

The onus of the cancellation of UFC 151 fell squarely on the shoulders of UFC light heavyweight champion Jon 'Bones' Jones, whether he actually deserved it or not.
When Jones' opponent Dan Henderson was forced off the card with a knee injury, the UFC came up with Chael Sonnen as a suitable replacement, but the champion decided that only having 8 days to prepare was not nearly enough after consulting with his coach Greg Jackson.
A few hours later UFC 151 was cancelled, and UFC President Dana White was saying, 'UFC 151 will be remembered as the event Jon Jones and Greg Jackson murdered'.
While the blame that day seem to fall directly on Jones' head, many other fighters, journalists and fans stood up for his decision to not play ball by the UFC's rules. Many agreed that every fighter should have the right to be fully prepared for any opponent if they choose, and no one fighter can be blamed for an event being cancelled.
Jones later apologized on Twitter taking the full brunt for the card's cancellation, but the criticism hasn't stopped from some corners of the world and the light heavyweight champion's latest rebuttal won't soothe any still open wounds from the card that would have taken place on Saturday night.
Early in the day on Saturday a fan wrote on Twitter, 'Thanks to @JonnyBones I have no plans tonight'.
Rather than let the comment slide, Jones opted to respond and said 'Thanks to the old man and his knee I don't either'.
The 'old man' of course is referencing Jones' opponent , 41-year old Dan Henderson, who was forced off the card after injuring his knee in training.
While the rebuttal may have simply been a week of frustration building up inside of Jones for taking the blame for UFC 151's cancellation, the comment certainly rattled more than a few people.
In the big picture, Jones may be right in saying that Henderson's injury ultimately caused this chain reaction of events to get set in motion, but in this case he may have been better off living by the old adage 'let sleeping dogs lie'.
Regardless, Jones will return in a few weeks instead to face Vitor Belfort at UFC 152 in Toronto, while Henderson will continue to rehab his injured knee and hopes to return before the end of 2012.

There have been plenty of candidates, but what was the best?
Was it Anderson Silva front-kicking Vitor Belfort to retain his middleweight title at UFC 126? Was it Quinton Jackson winning the light heavyweight title with a "Rampge"-like knockout of Chuck Liddell at UFC 71?
How about Lyoto Machida crumpling Rashad Evans at UFC 98, or James Irvin's flying knee to Terry Martin at UFC 54?
All contenders, for sure. But many would argue that Gabriel Gonzaga's head-kick knockout of Mirko Filipovic at UFC 70 in April 2007 tops them all.
Gonzaga came into the fight with three straight stoppage wins to start his UFC career, and the bout against "Cro Cop" was a title eliminator with the winner moving on to meet then-heavyweight champ Randy Couture.
That Gonzaga knocked out the PRIDE legend would have been good enough. But that he did it in the same fashion that "Cro Cop" made famous was fascinating MMA irony. "Cro Cop," of course, was best known for his head kicks, moves that spawned the adage, "Right leg hospital, left leg cemetery." It's possible that Filipovic never was the same after the Brazilian put him down with nine seconds left in the first round of their fight.
So what do you think? Was Gonzaga's KO of "Cro Cop" the best knockout in UFC history? Check out the video above, then weigh in for yourself in the comments section.
