4 days 8 hours ago | Finally, I contribute something of value |
I'm pretty sure that is a scene from the movie Dogma, and time is frozen around the main characters whilst some dilemna or plot point is laid out. |
4 weeks 3 days ago | They've won a single playoff game in 57 years |
It would, in fact, be surprising if the Lions made the super bowl. |
7 weeks 4 days ago | Yes |
Dom lost to the youngest Rizgallah, 4-3. I hope Coon makes the Olympics, almost entirely because that means we would get to enjoy post olympic redshirt year wrestling, which is always awesome. That's how you end up with guys like Jake Herbert teching the #2 kid in the country |
7 weeks 4 days ago | All you need to know about MSU wrestling |
Is that you could damn near walk from campus to St. Johns, and yet every single wrestler from there goes to Michigan. They were OK as a team when they had the Simmons and I think Boudro, they've had a few scattered AA and a champ since then, but that's almost entirely a result of being in a wrestling rich area. I would like to say that a big part of why that gap is starting to grow is Michigan's willingness to spend. McFarland was able to hire 2 huge name assistant coaches a few years ago from the olympic program, and Michigan has probably the nicest wrestling practice facility in college. |
10 weeks 4 days ago | Fun fact |
My phone is trolling me with that feature, as I will now demonstrate by typing a name. Brady Hoke is a very innovative and visionary offensive mind. |
10 weeks 6 days ago | I was terrified this was Coach Schiano |
Sorry man, if you end up here, but the thought of Greg Schiano in a Michigan polo makes my skin crawl, and I puke a little in my mouth |
11 weeks 19 hours ago | I thought Saban and Les were already making more |
At least IIRC there were a few guys in the 6 million a year range at that time |
11 weeks 1 day ago | Did you know |
That if you twist one of your e's into a u, and the other into an h, your name is an anagram of Harbaugh? .... Harbaugh? |
11 weeks 1 day ago | Nah |
Still more work in college. Acquiring players is just a much more time consuming task in CFB than it is in the NFL. |
11 weeks 1 day ago | Sorry if this is out of line, but here's some wild ass speculati |
This feels like the kind of article that gets written when some big wig see's the "48 Million Dollar" report on TV and calls the office saying "I just saw an obscenely large number next to a dollar sign on Sportscenter, get the sports econ dude on this!" which then causes him to get on real quick and stretch 2 regurgitated talking points into an article because there isn't any real sports econ story here. Not that he's necessarily wrong, Harbaugh might stay in the NFL for those reasons, it just seems lazily written and out of this guys wheelhouse |
11 weeks 3 days ago | P.J. Fleck is the name you were looking for |
Row the dang boat |
11 weeks 4 days ago | How much does he put into the dolphins? |
It's not like owning an NFL team is cheap |
11 weeks 4 days ago | Too smart for his own good? |
Christ you sound like Skip Bayless with that |
12 weeks 3 hours ago | Don't diss Wet Herrera |
The greatest coach in the history of organized sports |
12 weeks 3 hours ago | They are 20 million over the cap next year |
So they take this team, which is already relatively old and not that good, and dump 20 million in salary, plus either the money to pay their picks or the picks themselves in the draft. They are going to win maybe 7 games then have to flat out cut starters this off season. They are a tire fire |
12 weeks 9 hours ago | I can see it now |
"Jim, before I take this job, there's one thing I absolutely have to do. I'm gonna need your plane, I'm going to need the entirety of my contract, in full, in non sequential peso's, 20 pounds of rotel and velveeta, and one of those bomb suits. Yeah, like from the hurt locker" |
12 weeks 9 hours ago | He's a GIANT improvement defensively |
going from the worst OF in the game to Cespedes is a huge upgrade, and he's at least as good offensively as Hunter |
12 weeks 9 hours ago | That might be bullshit |
He's not coming to Michigan, but New Orleans is going to be a trainwreck next year, and he's just watching it slowly crash. It wouldn't absolutely shock me if he took another NFL job because he doesnt' want to be stuck in rebuild mode |
12 weeks 9 hours ago | Yes |
It was 3. You can get Simon's production off the damn scrap heap, you don't need to be trading players for it. |
12 weeks 9 hours ago | He's hot ass garbage |
He was incredibly lucky over the first half of last year, he's much more the guy who had a 4.5 era in the second half of the year. That is hot ass garbage in the NL. |
12 weeks 20 hours ago | Was Harbaugh at Stanford for 11 years? |
Or are you just gonna ignore that part of it? |
12 weeks 2 days ago | You could make it about the product too |
They have been extra terrible lately. The fact that they even published the Dr. Football bullshit shows where they are |
12 weeks 3 days ago | Much like the 49'ers O-line |
I failed to properly execute, and have double posted. |
12 weeks 3 days ago | O-line regression is probably the biggest culprit |
They went from being probably the best unit in football to not very good at all in a year. Without that killer run game defenses have been able to key in on Kaepernick, and though he's a very good QB, he's not in the class of guys who can beat you even if you gameplan entirely around stopping them. |
12 weeks 3 days ago | To steal a line from PFT_Commenter |
this is about teling not speling smh |
12 weeks 3 days ago | Sorry |
But local papers aren't going to stop covering a coaching search at a Michigan out of common courtesy. |
12 weeks 5 days ago | I follow him on Twitter |
It's absolutely fascinating. He's not dumb, he's fairly well versed in like, the space program, he's relatively religious, he has a warped up in depth knowledge of history. Like, one second he's saying how ridiculous it is that someone thinks we faked the moon landing, and his next tweet is about how aliens built the pyramids. |
13 weeks 2 days ago | Stephen Ross doesn't either |
I'll be he's got some say though. Just because you don't have a job title doesn't mean you have zero influence on the decisions made by the university, and there are ways to buy that influence other than cash. |
13 weeks 2 days ago | I was at the Oregon game |
13 weeks 2 days ago | He's not Hoke |
He's Ferentz. If you gave Ferentz what Harbaugh left Shaw, I'm convinced the exact same thing would have happened. Terrible game manager, archaic offense. It works if you can absolutely destroy up front, which Ferentz has been able to do every 3 or 4 years when he develops a full O-line together, and Shaw had when he was left with what remained of the Harbaugh O-lineman, but it's not a great strategy. Shaw isn't a bad coach, and he could probably get Michigan to be what Nebraska was under Pelini due to the slight recruiting advantage he would have over Ferentz, but I'm not thrilled about hiring a guy who probably has a ceiling of what just got Nebraska's coach fired. |


text: The Cowlitz PUD is announcing a new way for its customers to pay their bills, rolling out a new "paperless" e-billing option. PUD Customer Service Director Dave Andrew says that "e-Bill" will allow customers quicker access to their bills, along with having the ability to check through their billing history and make payments on-line. Andrew says that this is a completely voluntary program, and the utility expects it to be extremely popular. Andrew also says that this should be a money-saver for both the PUD and for the consumer. The utility will save money by not having to print and mail paper bills, while customers will also save money and time on postage and handling. PUD officials also say that the e-Bill program will reduce the chance of identity theft, helping to eliminate the opportunity for thieves to steal sensitive personal information. Signing up is as easy as going to the Cowlitz PUD website, and then click "Paperless Billing" on the Customer Services drop-down menu. Video tutorials will walk you through the process. Get more information on the Cowlitz PUD website, or by calling 423-2210.

EDITED: Still looking for areas near Stockton to wheel, but interested in opinions about Prairie City SVRA near Rancho Cordova (Southeast Sacramento) SEE POST #2
Currently in Stockton and I typically go offroading or play in the mud when I head North (2+hrs.) to work/play on our ranch. I try to get up there fairly often, but I'm in need of a place closer to home. Spinning my tires and getting the truck dirty is a stress release for me and even though I may not have a built rig I just really enjoy the capabilities of my little Tacoma. Any comments or suggestions are greatly apprecited.

Annotated River Road, Tour Stops, and Weekly W*nners
First off today, I have a rare Sunday tour stop on the River Road virtual tour (only a few stops left now). I'm being interviewed over at the Reader Girls Blog, so head on over to read about the mind-numbing "normal" day in my life. You can enter here for the tour-wide giveaways as well as the commenter giveaways--for details, see the column at the right.
Next up, instead of a scene-snippet today, I've done some annotations on Chapter 2 of River Road (no spoilers)...including a fun video of Louis Armstrong--so check out my website home page for that.
Thanks to Miki, who reviewed my digital holiday story Christmas in Dogtown on her website Lecture toute une Aventure today! This is a story that's unrelated to my series (although also set in South Louisiana), and tells of a young woman who gets dragged home to rural St. James Parish to help out with the family business at Christmas--and finds out more about herself and her family than she ever expected. Christmas in Dogtown is $2.99 right now for both Kindle and Nook.
Also, thanks to Jeffrey Wendler at The Examiner for a great River Road review today!

Headed into the final bout of the night, the St. Marys Area Flying Dutchmen held a slim three-point lead over county rival Ridgway Elkers, 31-28. At one point in the match, the Dutchmen had held a 22-point lead, but Ridgway had rallied and looked poised to steal the victory. Faced with a must-win scenario, St. Marys Area's Cameron Resch came through with a 4-1 decision over Ridgway's Drew Baumgratz to give the Dutch the 34-28 match victory.
A St. Marys man charged in the September 2013 shooting death of June Talmadge is scheduled for jury call Monday, Feb. 2 at Elk County Court. Michael J. Stephanic Jr., 45, of St. Marys, faces charges of criminal homicide, two felony counts of aggravated assault and a felony charge of discharging a firearm into an occupied structure for the incident that occurred at Eastern Sintered Alloys. Monday's court session will be Stephanic's last opportunity to enter a plea before proceeding to jury selection, which is currently scheduled for Feb. 9.

Stidd allegedly shot Bizzarro about 9:30 a.m. Jan. 16 behind Togi's Restaurant at 412 E. Main St., Bradford. When Stidd appeared for his arraignment Jan. 16 before Bradford District Court Judge Dom Cercone, bail was set at $100,000. Stidd was free after posting $10,000 cash-- 10 percent of the bond.
The Elk County Solid Waste Authority made the first official contribution towards a proposed $2 million recycling center to be built in St. Marys.

The Elk County Conservation District held its first meeting of 2015 on Monday which included some review of 2014 as well as discussions looking towards the future for the district. District manager Steve Putt reviewed the yearly program summary for 2014, which was an ongoing tally of all the permit requests that have come through the Elk County Conservation District since 2011. Putt said the conservation district had seen a significant increase in erosion sediment control plans and general permits throughout the 2014 year.
Two St. Marys men have been arrested and charged in connection to a home invasion and armed robbery that occurred on Jan. 7 at 119 Sunrise Rd. Kyle Lee Sarginger, 25, and Spencer Gene Rudolph, 19, both of St. Marys, are facing multiple felony charges related to armed robbery for allegedly going to a home and robbing a woman for prescription pills. According to the affidavit of probable cause, Rudolph kicked in the door and said, "Give me all your drugs and money" and threatened to kill the victim while brandishing a handgun.
Dolores E. Alpaugh, 75, of 434 East Main St., Ridgway, died Saturday, Jan. 24, 2015 at St. Johns Specialty Center in Mars.

She was a graduate of Waverly High School. She was a Girl Scout and a majorette.
Edward "Skip" Ciroli, 102, native of Ridgway, died peacefully Friday, Jan. 23, 2015 at Sarah Reed Retirement Center. This had been his home for the past two years.

Economic Policy After the Omnibus
With the 2014 omnibus budget bill nearing completion, U.S. Treasury secretary Jacob Lew outlines his economic policy priorities for the...
Speaker: Jacob J. Lew, Secretary, U.S. Department of the Treasury
Presider: John C. Bussey, Assistant Managing Editor and Executive Business Editor, Wall Street Journal
January 16, 2014
With the 2014 omnibus budget bill nearing completion, U.S. Treasury secretary Jacob Lew outlines his economic policy priorities for the coming year with John Bussey of the Wall Street Journal. While the budget agreement will relax many of the fiscal constraints enacted under sequestration and bolster the ongoing U.S. economic recovery, Lew highlights the need for quick action on the debt ceiling as well as continued support for the long-term unemployed. Internationally, Lew discusses the progress being made in negotiations for new trade agreements with the European Union and East Asia.
Jacob Lew on the pending omnibus budget bill:
"The fact is that the budget agreement, which is now being implemented through these appropriation bills, takes away some of the fiscal drag from the economy. That actually matters. Macroeconomics matter. And going from policies that push back on economic growth to creating a little bit more economic energy help."
Jacob Lew on the macroeconomic argument for extending unemployment benefits:
"All those people who are looking for work are also putting food on the table and taking care of the necessities of life, and every penny that they get, they spend."
Jacob Lew on China's continuing economic reform efforts:
"The direction of the policies that they announced in the third plenum was consistent with what they agreed to in our bilateral discussions. I think that they know that the—it's critical to the Chinese economy to let market forces drive much more, if not all, major economic policy."

Why doesn the Sea Turtle Cinema have a policy to charge kids an adult price if they don't have there student id with them? I think this is wrong and told the manager my feelings and said I'm sorry it's our policy. What is the purpose of this policy to teach them responsibility maybe? When I went at that age you had to be under 18 to get a childs price. Does anyone else think this policy is bogus!

I had an adorable Boston Terrior come visit me today in my back yard (I live in Florida now). Never saw the dog before. A beautiful female Boston Terrior. Gave her some water and let her in my screened porch. I didn't know what to do with her (no collar or tags) so I called the Humane Society and they said to bring her in and they would check for a chip. Thank god she had one and was going to be back with her owners today.

ABC News' Teddy Davis Reports: Sen. Sam Brownback's, R-Kan., immigration stance has come under attack by former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney and the Kansas Republican couldn't be happier.
"We've cut back on our target from that standpoint to a level where we think we can win, but we're not trying to overwhelm anybody," said Romney, according to the Associated Press.
Brownback, who is campaigning on a "pro-life, whole life" platform, is hoping to beat expectations in the Aug. 11 Straw Poll. But he still faces a large cash-on-hand disparity against Romney.
"I'm like the tortoise in this race," Brownback told ABC News. "I don't like how it begins, but I like how it ends. Iowans take their role in the presidential process seriously and will choose the candidate that best matches their conservative, Midwestern values."
Brownback knows that when the press is deciding how to frame a crowded primary race, it looks, in part, to who the front-running candidates decide to engage.
The downside with being attacked by Romney is that it could bring additional attention to Brownback's 2006 vote in favor of legislation that would have extended a path to earned citizenship to the more than 10 million illegal immigrants currently in the United States.
"I disagree with amnesty. Senator Brownback supported that bill. Senator Brownback supported McCain-Kennedy," said Romney while campaigning in Iowa on Saturday, according to the Des Moines Register' Tom Beaumont.
Earned legalization is unpopular with many of the conservatives who participate in the Iowa caucuses.
After casting a pro-earned legalization vote in 2006, Brownback told reporters in April of 2007 that he would not cast the same vote again, citing concerns over non-marital "chain migration," the practice by which immigrants who gain legal status can sponsor family members to join them.
The Brownback campaign responded to the substance of Romney's charge by noting that Romney has undergone his own change of heart on earned legalization.
Romney criticized Brownback on the same day that he sought to tamp down expectations for himself in next month's Iowa GOP Straw Poll.

Not a problem - if you have root on your phone or tablet, getting the PSM (PlayStation Mobile) apk to work is a matter of pushing a few files it relies on to your /system directory and rebooting. Original credit goes to XxXPachaXxX - I used his work from a few months ago, took out some extra unnecessary Bravia engine stuff, and repacked it into a flashable zip for use with the PSM.
Here is PS Mobile running on my Nexus 7:
On the Nexus 7, I was able to play the free game and successfully tested a paid game called Fuel Tiracas. They both worked wonderfully. I also bought Samurai Beatdown, but for some reason it didn't install right (I tried 3 times but the download just said installation unsuccessful, hmmm).
Unfortunately, PSM crashes upon loading the store front on my EVO LTE. If you're not using a certified device, don't be surprised if it crashes on yours too - after all, it wasn't certified and, therefore, not tested.
video BY Devicecustomizer
Step 1.
Download and install the latest PSM apk from Sony. I mirrored the current version, 1.0, here:
If you try to run the PSM app now, you'll likely get this:
Step 2.
Download the flashable zip I packed from one of these mirrors:
Step 3.
Note: Just to be clear once again, you have to be rooted to install the helper files com.playstation.playstationcertified.jar and com.playstation.playstationcertified.xml. If you're not rooted yet, first figure out how to do so to your device and then come back.
Flash the zip from custom recovery, like ClockworkMod or TWRP. This relies on having busybox, which if you're rooted, you likely already do.
Alternatively, if you don't want to flash from recovery or just like to know what you're doing, you can perform the steps manually while booted into Android:
Unzip the zip file downloaded in step 2.
Copy playcertetcpermissionscom.playstation.playstationc ertified.xml to /system/etc/permissions/ on your device.
Copy playcertframeworkcom.playstation.playstationcertif ied.jar to /system/framework/ on your device.
Set the permissions on com.playstation.playstationcertified.jar to 644 (read/write, read, read) using your favorite file manager or command line.
At this point, PSM should work just fine and you should no longer see the error from Step 1. Go register for a Sony Entertainment Network account if you haven't yet and try playing some games.
Please report your successes and failures in the comments.

I haven't had a lot of time to look around this town yet but I'm curious to know if there are any interesting, down-to-earth bars in central Madison. That's to say a bar oriented toward people, conversation and high-quality (relatively inexpensive) food -- not spectator sports or spectator dancing. (Impromtu dancing is always a good thing, though.)
I have an ideal in mind, from a land far far away, but I think the essentials would be:
+ No television. (Sports bars have that covered.)
+ No cover charge for music *ever*. Leave that to the night clubs, thank you, and don't turn away customers who may have no interest in the particular musical offerings.
+ Some reasonably good beer (preferably local) and at least one or two drinkable non-Californian wines beyond what the distrubutor from Palookaville offloads
+ Food that's made to be eaten, not just sold. So no industrial white bread or orange cheese, no canned olives. It doesn't have to be expensive (in fact, it can be damn cheap), but it needs to be real.
+ An eclectic range of music, played at a volume that promotes, rather than impedes, conversation.
Does such a bird exist here?

Mick up for survival battle
22 Nov 2009 - 11:06:12
Wolves boss Mick McCarthy admitted his side had been outclassed by a rampant Chelsea side at Stamford Bridge.
Wolves were three goals behind after only 22 minutes and the final 4-0 scoreline could have been even more embarrassing for the visitors if Blues boss Carlo Ancelotti had not taken off some of his star players in the second half.
The drubbing leaves Wolves in the bottom three and McCarthy accepts his team faces a long winter as they try to avoid making an immediate return to the Championship.
He joked at the end of the game: "We were happy to get nil at the end.
"I thought we had some good chances, including the best chance at the start of the game. But we made mistakes.
"Malouda's was a wonderful strike and we should have done better when they scored from the corner for the second.
"At 2-0 down it was a done deal then. But I saw enough about the players, the endeavour, work-rate and spirit, and this won't knock the spirit out of us. We were not expected to get anything here.
"I really hoped we would get something out of the game but reality was that we were expected to be in the bottom three still. We are in a relegation fight now, I've said that to the lads. We might as well understand that now. No bones about it.
"We won't be judged on today's game. I don't doubt our team spirit and fight they have in them. I reckon we had five good chances in the first half, but they had eight chances and were 3-0 up.
"Chelsea are as good as anything I've seen although Manchester United and Arsenal will argue about it."

Allardyce: I didn't think it would cause such a stir
21 Sep 2010 - 14:04:36
Sam Allardyce has attempted to clarify the comments he made last week when he claimed that he would have no problem managing the likes of Real Madrid and Inter Milan.
The Blackburn Rovers manager, who has previously been in charge of Bolton Wanderers and Newcastle United, was quoted as saying he was more suited to the European giants than mid-table Premier League outfits.
However, he has now said: "I didn't think it would create quite as big a stir as it has. Somebody asked me if I'd found my level and was comfortable as manager at Blackburn Rovers.
"I'm never comfortable as a manager because I'm always looking to improve and my terms of wanting to improve are about having a burning ambition to always get better than I am.
"Obviously, in the end, that would always be to try and get to the very, very top of the industry that I'm working in."
Ahead of Saturday's 1-1 draw with Fulham at Ewood Park, Allardyce had said: "I'd be more suited to Inter Milan or Real Madrid. It wouldn't be a problem for me to manage those clubs because I'd win the double or the league every time.
"Give me Manchester United or Chelsea and I'd do the same, it wouldn't be a problem.
"It's not a problem to take me into the higher reaches of the Champions League or Premier League and would make my job a lot easier in winning it."

Apple updates Xserve with new Xeons
Apple's servers now have new Intel quad-core processors to get them up and running.
Apple unveiled an updated version of its Xserve server Tuesday, adding Intel's latest server processors.
The Xserve is possibly the least-promoted product in Apple's lineup, but the company has certain educational and creative-professional customers that like to run a Mac OS X environment top to bottom. Still, the Xserve accounts for a fraction of Apple's revenue, although it caused a few problems for future iPod and iPhone chief Mark Papermaster upon his departure from IBM.
The new models come with the option of one or two of Intel's quad-core 2.26GHz Xeon processors and 3GB of RAM, with the base model starting at $2,999 with the single processor. Several configuration options are available, including Xeon processors up to 2.93GHz.

10 ways to think about search retargeting in your overall plan.
Search retargeting is about increasing the relevancy and, therefore, the performance of banner ads served to searchers. While not exactly new, it represents the latest stop in a long remarketing progression in technology and approach that began with display campaign retargeting and moved through site retargeting, Google retargeting, and search retargeting through networks.
Current third-party providers like Magnetic, Chango, and Simpli.fi can connect search queries to banner inventory and relevant messaging whether or not the searcher clicked on a search term or ever visited a site. They can access top comScore sites for premium display placements or tap exchange inventory or other real-time bidding sources for cost effective, scalable solutions to connect first-party and third-party data with search query data from the major search engines.
Where Search and Media Meet
Search often reaches those who are information or task oriented. Display often reaches highly desirable demos or profiles but you may not know if they have an immediate need or any interest in your product or service. Retargeting based on search brings these together to use search query history to signal intent but still allows for all the behavioral, day part, recency, demographic, geographic, psychographic, and other sophisticated targeting that you can layer on to improve messaging, relevancy, and conversion in your banner buy.
10 ways to think about search retargeting in your overall plan:
1. Search retargeting provides a hyper-focused, ROI positive addition to your marketing toolbox.
What if you have maxed out your search campaign within your acceptable ROI? You've implemented every step in the best practices search handbook, and you've hit a plateau in terms of visibility and spend. This allows you to continue to use search to reach new customers via display, open up the top of the funnel during the awareness phases leveraging search intent.
2. Search retargeting allows you to target competitor terms or brands without bidding up click costs or starting a range war.
There are many situations where overt competitor targeting might not be a good idea. This allows you to target competitor terms and engage with (potentially) their customers in display media, giving you the opportunity to introduce your brand or a specific promotion to motivate trial or sale.
3. Search retargeting has the potential to optimize overall marketing spend by reducing and shifting marketing dollars from SEM on expensive keywords.
If you can't sustain the broad, high funnel keywords because of competitive pressures and the attending high CPC ranges, low quality scores, or short budget then you have the option to include those keywords within your search retargeting campaign. This allows you to continue to target key terms more cost effectively while joining reach and brand awareness with intent for effectiveness. These are typically the high-level brand awareness keywords that often don't meet ROI guidelines for a traditional search campaign. Also the ad inventory used through the ad exchanges is typically more cost effective than other targeted display inventory so budgets stretch further on that score as well.
4. Integration. The value shifts to cross-discipline media folks, rather than search or display experts who work in silos. As a result, practitioners must research, plan, buy, and maximize in an integrated fashion - each channel for its strengths.
5. Consumer ad relevancy is improved as ads are more targeted to their needs. This leads to improved performance and efficiency.
Recency: Using search retargeting we can target intent with recency - not 30 days after they searched for something random and not because they visited your homepage once by accident.
Messaging: Ad creative and messaging can be tailored and sequenced. Segmentation is based on nuances in the specific search queries. Customized messaging can be tailored to audience interests.
6. Closes the loop. Search retargeting provides a rich feedback set to understand gaps in SEO and provide further data points for SEM optimization.
SEO efforts/results are an arduous process and the payoff is long term. Much like how SEM is the short-term visibility partner to a longer-term SEO effort, search retargeting can provide visibility and reach where otherwise you were unable to do so.
7. Takes your search efforts off the search page to reaches consumers when they are not searching.
The paid search landscape is huge but still limited, and the majority of people searching on Google are not going to land on your site. When program growth in certain search campaigns is stunted, this is an option to expand efforts in a targeted manner.
8. Provides another tool and testing platform to refine attribution modeling.
Often the lion's share of credit is attributed to branded searches without the thought or technical structure to track what terms really drove awareness and consideration. Search retargeting gets us closer to a true valuation of originator and assist terms that may have just as much value in a robust campaign.
9. Offers an additional tactic to target users at the top of the customer consideration funnel.
The typical conversion funnel places display media tactics at the top of the funnel creating awareness while placing search tactics at the bottom of the funnel impacting consideration, intent, and purchase. Search retargeting blurs the placement on that funnel by allowing awareness and intent to work together. Search and display have synergy, but through search retargeting, they truly work together. Many recent studies suggest an amplifying effect of integrating search and display media, lifting both the volume search activity and increasing positive brand metrics.
10. Leverages the concept of behavioral targeting by utilizing search intent as the actual qualifier.
Search retargeting gives you the reach and scale of display leveraging the intent of search. This is a powerful combination and simplifies the process of learning about your profitable customers. You may not have the hundreds of behavioral points that define your target consumer. But if you can simply place a Google Analytics tag on your site to find out the high value keywords, you can use that info to reach out to searchers across exchange inventory with rich, segmented, strategic display ads.
Search retargeting is a hybrid model that combines the ability of search queries to signal intent with the targeting capabilities of display media for optimum ROI. Advertisers or marketers who do both search and display media buying can jump in quickly because they understand both sides of the process. They just need to understand how to connect the strategies.

Backstage beauty tips with Zoya nail color experts at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week
NEW YORK -- Color designer Rebecca Isa of Cleveland-based Zoya nail polish was backstage at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week for the Zang Toi show last week to show off the custom colors the brand created for the show and what shades will be hot for spring.
Zang Toi, whose fashions are the epitome of luxury, drew inspiration for his fall 2013 line from the colors and grandeur of Imperial Russia. The palette for apparel featured sapphire, deep purple and emerald. Zoya made polishes that mirrored these hues, as well as their textures and sheens.
In past seasons, polishes in deep tones with matte finishes were popular.
"This year is all about light and vibrancy," Ms. Isa says. Polishes contain a liquid crystal compound inside that gives them their iridescence.
For the runway show, models' nails were dressed up with crystals that contrasted in color from the polish. The set of polishes inspired by Zang Toi's designs are available for $33 from House of Toi.
Shades for spring ...
Forget clothing trends -- nails have a style all their own. Zoya has some warm brights in store for when the weather heats up. One of its newest collections is PixieDust, named for its subtle shimmer. The sugary sheen is the result of a new technology that allows glitter to rise to the surface of a matte polish once it dries. All it takes is a couple coats -- no base coat or top coat, as usual.
Photo: Vespa, from the PixieDust collection.
Another offering for spring is the Lovely collection, six soft shades reminiscent of a bouquet of spring flowers. The lilac, pink and yellow are custom colors Zoya made for Zang Toi's spring 2013 runway show, which was presented at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week last September.
Both collections are available now at Zoya.com.

Doug Batchelor (born March 9, 1957) is an evangelist and the author of several books including The Richest Caveman, the story of his early life and conversion to Christianity. His primary ministry is Amazing Facts - a worldwide television, radio, and publishing ministry based in Roseville, California, United States. He also pastors the Granite Bay Seventh-day Adventist Church in Loomis, California. Batchelor is the son of the Florida aviation tycoon and philanthropist George Batchelor and the Hollywood film critic, actress and songwriter Ruth Batchelor.[1][2] He spent his youth searching for the purpose of life, including exploring various religions; while living in a cave in southern California, which led to his discovery of a bible. Consequently, Batchelor developed a strong Christian belief system;ultimately leading to his evangelist status.[3]
Media ministry[edit]
Doug Batchelor is the speaker of the weekly TV programs Amazing Facts Presents and Everlasting Gospel, and is the primary speaker for Central Study Hour. These programs can be seen weekly on national cable networks. He is also the speaker on Bible Answers Live, a one-hour paid radio program heard on Sirius/XM satellite radio nationally and over 300 radio stations around the world. Some of the stations include:
Radio stations
Television stations
As a pastor, Batchelor can also be seen when speaking at the Granite Bay Seventh-day Adventist Church, which is aired as Central Study Hour and Everlasting Gospel on TV locally and by satellite on 3ABN, Amazing Facts Television, and Hope Channel.
Batchelor has appearances on many documentaries including God on My Side, Secrets of Revelation on the National Geographic Channel, and other shows on the Discovery Channel.[4][5][6]
Women's Ministry[edit]
Batchelor has openly spoken about his support for the involvement of women in areas of ministry such as prophecy, teaching, preaching and the chairing of boards; however he does not support women being appointed to the role of ministers.[7] Batchelor names the Feminist movement as part of the reason for the call for women's ordination within the Seventh Day Adventist church.[7][8] He claims that for the prior 1900 years the church knew that 'final authority" was the domain of the husband and male pastor.[7] Via his Facebook page Batchelor has even claimed problems began for the presbyterian church when they ordained women as ministers.[9] Despite his view being one that matches the historical position of the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, he has received criticism from Adventist media sources such as Spectrum Magazine and the South Eastern California Conference, who wrote a response claiming that his views did not reflect the stance of the Seventh Day Adventist church.[7][10]
Batchelor's claims his mother was a leader in the women's liberation movement but left because of "angry lesbians that wanted to be men".[7] Batchelor also suggested that the call for women to be ordained is in part is due to the liberal feminist movement.[7][11]
On the Bible Answers Live program Batchelor stated that people cannot be born homosexual and that a study showing that there were genetic factors responsible for homosexuality was biased because the doctor who released it is gay.[12] Batchelor states that absent male or female parents can have an influence on whether a person is gay.[12] Batchelor was also a supporter of Prop 8 and linked the California drought of 2013 to the failure of Prop 8 to be upheld.[13]
The Second Coming[edit]
In an interview with Andrew Denton for the documentary God on my side, Batchelor is asked about end of the world.[14] Batchelor does not think he could predict the exact time or date, but believes the Second Coming will occur within the next fifty years.[14] Referencing biblical prophecy, Batchelor claims that the signs of the final days of earth are being fulfilled.[14]
Batchelor is married to Karen Batchelor and has five children. His hobbies include guitar, scuba diving, quad riding, and racquetball. He has also inherited his father's love of aviation, and is a licensed pilot.

Eric Chong had something to prove when he participated on CTV's first-ever MasterChef Canada.
As the youngest home cook on the reality television series, the 22-year-old Oakville resident wanted to show he had what it takes to make it in a professional kitchen.
"I'm young and ambitious and I look at things differently," Chong told the Oakville Beaver Thursday about what set him apart for his competition when he filmed the series last fall.
Having recently graduated with a Chemical Engineer degree from McMaster University in Hamilton, he said his background allowed him to plan quicker, and execute tasks more efficiently than others.
The show's third episode airs this Sunday following NFL Super Bowl XLVIII on CTV and will re-broadcast in its original time slot Monday at 8 p.m.
Chong has made it to the Top 16 competitors from across Canada vying for the MasterChef title and a $100,000 cash prize.
In each episode, participants compete in individual and team-based cooking challenges, which result in one or more home cooks being eliminated from the series each week.
Although Chong knows how he fared in the competition since it was filmed last fall, he said he or other participants can't reveal the results of the show because of their contractual agreement with CTV.
What he can reveal however, is how the show has impacted his life.
Chong, a White Oaks Secondary School graduate, said appearing on the show has been a major turning point in his life.
Not only has it reaffirmed how serious his passion is for the culinary arts, but also it has given him — and his family — the confidence he needs to pursue it as a career.
"It was a game changer for me," he said, noting how he was under constant pressure while on the show.
"It was probably the hardest thing I've done in my life," Chong continued. "It was nerve-wrecking having so much on the line."
He now works in the kitchen at the upscale Italian restaurant Buca in Toronto.
He said he was able to prove to his family cooking was an acceptable career choice.
"I told my parents if I ever won the lottery I would like to pursue a future in cooking... but now after MasterChef, they're super supportive and they believe I have the talent to actually make this my future and it's pretty awesome," he said. "I get to do something I love everyday."
Chong grew up with a passion for food, watching celebrity chefs like Gordon Ramsay on The Food Network. His grandfather, who was a restaurant chef, also inspired him and taught him some tips and tricks in the kitchen that he continues to use today.
During university, while he was living on his own, he also experimented with cooking. His signature dishes are pan seared duck breast with rice, red Thai curry sauce and homemade spring rolls.
He said his university degree has also played a part in developing his cooking skills.
"Engineering is a great foundation for anything. It's pretty versatile in the ways you apply it," he said. "The ways you look at a problem, you definitely go in with a plan and break things down in a different manner... It has helped me create more dishes and be more creative."

(54-28, 31-10 home)
Coverage: ESPN/WatchESPN
10:30 PM ET, May 10, 2014
Moda Center, Portland, OR
PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) -- Turns out a snake in their locker room was the least of the Trail Blazers' problems.
Portland limped home down 2-0 in the Western Conference semifinals with the Spurs, and while their digs may be snake-free, the Blazers still have to figure out how to stop San Antonio when the teams meet again Saturday night at the Moda Center.
Portland coach Terry Stotts summed it up during a timeout in Game 2, when he told the team: "We don't have a chance if we don't rebound and we don't defend."
Only 16 teams have come back from a 2-0 deficit to win a playoff series, most recently the Memphis Grizzlies against the Los Angeles Clippers last season.
The only time Portland has rebounded after a two-loss series start was the in 1977 finals against Philadelphia -- which remains the team's lone NBA championship.
The Spurs have a 3-2 advantage over Portland in the playoffs, sweeping the last meeting in the 1999 conference finals. The teams split the regular-season series 2-2.
San Antonio has dominated this one so far. On Thursday night, the Spurs built a 20-point lead and won 114-97. Kawhi Leonard scored 20 points, and Tony Parker had 16 points and 10 assists, leading a total of seven Spurs who scored in double figures.
The Blazers' night got off to a strange start when reserve forward Thomas Robinson spied a snake in the locker room at AT&T Center.
Because the snake hissed, the team at first thought it was a rattlesnake, but it later turned out it was not venomous. Needless to say, the snake sighting set the tone for the night and the Blazers played timidly throughout the loss.
LaMarcus Aldridge, who averaged 29.8 points in Portland's first-round series against the Houston Rockets, scored 16 points, up against unrelenting defense from Tim Duncan and Tiago Splitter.
"We know that we haven't played our best basketball, so now we have to," Aldridge said. "Going home, every guy has to play better, starting with me, and I think every guy will."
Nicolas Batum led the Blazers with 21 points and Damian Lillard had 19 in the loss.
The Blazers were hurt when guard Mo Williams was pulled from the game because of a groin injury. Williams has consistently brought spark and leadership off the bench the whole season, and has capably filled in while Damian Lillard rests.
Williams played just 9 minutes in Game 2, and the Spurs' backups outscored Portland's 50-19.
Stotts told reporters on Friday that he anticipates that Williams will miss Game 3, so Earl Watson and Will Barton will help spell Lillard.
The Spurs routed the Blazers 116-92 in the series opener after a hard-fought seven-game series against the Dallas Mavericks.
"We did our part and won both games at home of this series, but the series starts when you win one on the road and we know it is one of the toughest arenas to play in," Parker said. "They play really well at home and they have a great crowd, so it is going to be about how we handle these next two games. We need to play with the same energy, take care of the ball, especially on the road, and play the same defense."
Portland advanced to the second round for the first time since 2000 by defeating the Rockets in six games, clinching the series with Lillard's amazing 3-pointer at the buzzer at home for a 99-98 victory in the deciding game.
"I think we have a bunch of competitors. They want to win. They know we can play better," Stotts said. "The fact that we kept coming back in the second half -- I am not worried about that part. Certainly frustrating to lose and to get blown out in Game 1 and not quite have enough in Game 2. I know we will be ready in Game 3."
