I write about social, mobile and marketing trends.
If brands won social awards, then National Amusements, Inc., a Viacom company, would own the title of most powerful social business. The index ranking, according to Dachis Group, "Analyzes the effectiveness of strategies and tactics organizations employ to engage the market through social channels."
I'm surprised by some of the companies on the top 20 list as I haven't personally seen much from L'Oreal, Nestle or the Discovery Channel, but then again, I'm not tuned in those areas. The rest seem plausible to me.
So why is this important?
The standard answer is that we need to recognize brands that are leading the way in social business. The real answer is that business leaders need better corporate role models. We need organizations who will convey to those leaders that becoming a social business is the smarter path. That the old playbook will not work in the new social age, and that becoming a social business will increase the company's ability to adapt to market changes and take advantage of new revenue opportunities.
A business that only uses traditional marketing will produce suboptimal results, and will, in time, fade from being a great business – no matter how much of a lead it has now.
That's something a lot of companies are learning –even today.

I wonder which xxxxx made this info-graphic. First of all, the maps for Kraft and WWE are mixed up, unless Illinois is now on the east coast and Connecticut is in the midwest. Second, if you have a tie for 14th, the next place will be 16th — this xxxxx decided to put a 15th place but skip 16.
If it wasn't for velcro, I doubt this person would even be able to make it out the house with shoes on in the morning.
And yet, as powerful as social is (and, boy is it ever), none of the companies listed have people waiting in line for hours (everyday, almost) for their products except Apple, who is not mentioned here. Which begs the question, is social necessary when you have a great product and evangelical customers that deliver your social messages for you. Food for thought?

Politics & Prejudices
Right-wing power grab
'This was the action of a Third World dictator'
Published: December 12, 2012
Walter Reuther did, indeed, want to move on from organizing just autoworkers to doing something for and about other workers and the oppressed of our society. But today's "labor movement" is a bunch of sometimes-squabbling unions, each concerned with protecting the special interests of a small, specific and usually declining group of specialized workers.
Today, barely 12 percent of Michigan workers in the private sector are covered by labor contracts. Even when government workers and teachers are added, less than one out of every five Michigan workers is unionized.
Does anyone think making this a right-to-work state would be possible if even half our workers were in unions?
Worse, many unions in recent years have caved in docilely to management demands. The UAW in particular agreed, as part of the bailout package, that most new autoworkers could be paid only slightly less than half what longtimers make. Imagine you are on the line today.
You are only making about $29,000 a year. Realistically, you can't buy a home and start a family; you can't even afford a new car. How grateful are you going to be to the union that got you that wonderful contract?
Bet we can guess. To be fair, unions have a harder task in many respects than in 1937. How do you reach the knowledge worker banging the keyboard in her lonely apartment as an independent contractor? How do you organize new immigrants who can't speak English and are scared of getting in trouble?
Well, um ... labor did the latter before, didn't it?
One thing is for sure: Organized labor has to do something to revitalize and reinvent itself, pretty fast.
Otherwise, unions may be headed for irrelevancy and then extinction, in this state, at any rate. They've taken a major blow, and they need a shot of leadership and inspiration.
So ... anybody have any ideas?

Biographical/Historical note
John Forsyth Johnson was born near Columbus, Georgia, on February 8, 1827, the second child of John D. and Jane English Johnson. His family moved to Pickens County, Alabama, when he was a child. He grew up on a farm and received most of his education in Pickens County. Rather than attend college, Johnson chose to work with a commission merchant in Mobile, Alabama, circa 1947. Later he worked with his uncle as a traveling salesman for the Daniel Pratt Company. This work first required Johnson to travel through Mississippi, but as time progressed he also traveled to Texas and Arkansas selling the Pratt cotton gins. While in Arkansas he also worked for a time as a school teacher.
Johnson returned to Alabama and in February 1853 married Ophelia McGowen. They lived in Alabama until the fall of 1854 when they moved to a farm in Mississippi along the Big Black River near Greensboro in what was then Choctaw County. Ophelia died January 26, 1855, at the age of 21, possibly from complications of diabetes.
After her death Johnson visited relatives in Alabama, where he met Nancy Beard. They married in Alabama in either 1855 or early 1856. Johnson continued farming until the Civil War began in 1861. He joined the local Choctaw County unit as a second lieutenant in 1862. In 1863 he took advantage of the law that allowed a soldier to pay for a substitute to serve in the military. When this law was repealed in 1864 he joined the Mississippi Light Artillery, Company D, stationed in Mobile, Alabama. His journal contains interesting stories about his experiences there, including seeing a torpedo boat.
After the war, he returned to farming in Mississippi. In the early 1870s he supplemented this income by again working for the Daniel Pratt Company as an agent selling cotton gins. He continued this work for some time during the 1870s. In addition to these activities in the 1870s, he grew heavily involved in agricultural organizations such as the Grange and the Farmers' Alliance.
During the 1880s he continued farming, but his continued involvement in community activities and politics landed him such positions as Webster County, Mississippi, tax assessor and postmaster for Lamb, Mississippi. In addition, Johnson maintained his lifelong interest in religious activities.
His wife Nancy died in 1899. They had five children: son, stillborn, 1856; Martha Jane, 1857-1859; Mary Adelaide, 1859-1937; daughter, died in infancy, 1862; and Sallie Ada, 1865-?.
John F. Johnson died December 17, 1912, in Mississippi. In 1983 his descendants found a journal or memoirs he had written beginning in 1901. In it he discusses his childhood and early adult memories. For the time period prior to 1857 he writes in a narrative style constructed from memories. After that date he uses the style of a traditional journal because he had from that time been keeping a diary. Sources: John F. Johnson papers, W.S.

Corsicana Daily Sun
Corsicana —
The Tigers have enjoyed two weeks of getting healthy and putting in extra work on the practice field as they get ready for the five most important games of the season — the District 16-4A schedule.
That's a good thing because it's not an easy beginning. After playing a brutal non-district schedule that included Class 5A Denton Ryan and rival Waxahachie, the Tigers (1-4) begin district against the state's No. 3-ranked team, Tyler John Tyler (4-1).
It's a daunting task, as was expected when UIL realignment was announced in the spring.
"They're the best team we've seen," said Castles of the Lions, who just like the Tigers reached the state semifinals last season.
Castles went on to say that in his 44 games as the Tigers' coach, he puts John Tyler in the Top 3 teams Corsicana has played. The Lions join an elite group that includes 2011 state champion Aledo — which ended the Tigers season last year — and the 2009 Waco Midway Panthers.
Midway was ranked No. 3 in the state in Castles' first season when Corsicana pulled off a huge upset at Floyd Casey Stadium. Can Castles and the Tigers do it again Friday night at Tiger Stadium?
The Tigers, who will have to play their best game to date, should be healed up from non-district. And the extra work the offense has put in with quarterback Zach Rash also should help Corsicana against a solid Tyler defense.
"Our kids have worked hard," Castles said. "They have positive attitudes. It's a brand new season."
The Tiger defense needs to be fresh and ready against a talented John Tyler offense that averages 26.4 points. That might not sound like an explosive group, but don't be fooled. One rival coach said this summer that John Tyler is "DeSoto East," comparing the Lions to the state's No. 2 5A team.
Tyler has an array of offensive weapons from senior quarterback Greg Ward, who has verbally committed to Houston, and receiver Fred Ross, committed to Oklahoma State.
It doesn't stop there. There's Dequante Woods at receiver. Darion Flowers is a standout wideout and defensive back. Tyus Bowser plays receiver and defensive end. Jeremy Wilson and Reggie Gipson are dangerous running backs and can catch passes too.
"Ross is one of the best receivers in the state," Tyler coach Ricklan Holmes said. "And he's not the only one. Flowers, Wiggins, Woods, Gipson. They give a lot of different options for Greg."
Tyler hasn't missed a step after Holmes took over as head coach in May for Dereck Rush, who departed for Conroe Oakridge. Holmes, who was on the Lions' staff, said Rush helped prepare him for this moment.
Tyler did lose to No. 2 Lancaster 26-21 in early September on the road, so the Tigers can be optimistic about that. But Holmes also benched two players by his own decision for that game to send his entire team a message.
Tyler has responded with wins over Tyler Lee, Mesquite Horn and Nuevo Leon, Mexico.
"We're doing all of the things we need to be doing at this time to win a district championship," Holmes said. "We've shown improvement. We're getting ready for a tough stretch of district games."
The Tigers will need a big effort on defense. Defensive end Jarrett Hall and linebackers Jacob Grayson and Cedric Weaver have to keep making plays. Linebacker D'Eriq Jordan needs to keep up his improvement. And so on.
Corsicana played in a nine-team district the last two years, so it's strange that the second week in October brings a game that truly matters. It's been odd for the coaches and the players, but they say they're ready.
"It doesn't seem possible that we haven't started district," Castles said.
It's here now.
Hubbard at Frost
7:30 p.m. Friday
At Joe Parum Field
RECORDS: Class 1A Hubbard is 4-2, 0-0 in District 9-1A DII. Frost is 6-0, 0-0.
PLAYERS TO WATCH: Hubbard: QB Casen Martin, FB Trey Henderson, TB Logan McClinton, LB Jordan Johnson, WR/CB Casey Jones. Frost: QB Jacob Stroder, RB/LB Danial Steels, RB/LB Woody Woods, RB Robert Worley, DL Maliko Bruce.
When Hubbard has the ball …
The Jaguars can grind it out on offense and beat you with the big play. Hubbard averages 307 yards per game and scores 26.5 points a game. The Jaguars' big-play threat hinges on tailback Bradley Walker, who has missed most of the season with a high ankle sprain but should play Friday. Henderson has turned in a huge non-district season with 834 yards and five TDs. McClinton has shifted from wide receiver to tailback in Walker's absence. The Polar Bears' defense starts up front with Bruce, who has a knack for penetrating the line. Stroder leads the Bears with five interceptions. Woods has 41 tackles.
When Frost has the ball …
The Polar Bears are much like Hubbard — they want to go heavy with the running game but can beat you through the air. Steels is the big-play threat with 851 yards and 15 TDs. But look out for Worley and Woods, who both average more than 7 yards per carry and have combined for nine TDs. Stroder has passed for 377 yards and five TDs. He'll mix it around to his backs and wide receiver Josh Riojas (four receptions, 102 yards). Hubbard leads the area in defense, allowing 12 points and 172 yards per game. Johnson was all over the field in the Jaguars' 24-8 win over Kerens and has 80 tackles. Jones not only is an interception machine but is a threat to score on defense every time he picks off a pass.
Difference Makers
Henderson gives Hubbard the physical ability to pound the ball at opponents and should be a big factor even with Walker back in the lineup. Worley is the key to stopping the Polar Bears. He likes to run between the tackles and he's a tough runner who can soften up the outside for Steels.
Overall Edge
Frost isn't a fluke. The Polar Bears have earned their 6-0 start being efficient on offense and playing solid defense. Hubbard was the district title pick, and while the Jaguars have lost twice, they've played high quality opponents and wins over Kerens and Italy are impressive. Hubbard's defense also has been exceptional, dealing with nine turnovers in the Jaguars' two losses and still allowing 171 yards per game. Walker is the x-factor. He should play more this week, which gives the Jaguars a slight advantage. Hubbard 34, Frost 21.

Narrative Description
Saints Peter and Paul Church is a front-gable, basilica-style church with walls of painted brick. The church is surmounted by a short, square cupola near the front of the building. The entrance facade is fronted by a slightly projecting central pavilion that is topped by a pediment and is flanked by round arch windows. The central entrance is framed by a rounded arch and Ionic pilasters supporting a pediment. Ionic pilasters continue along the sides of the building and divide the facades into seven bays with tall, rounded arch windows. A short, square cupola surmounts the front-gable roof.
Statement of Significance
Detroit's Saints Peter and Paul Church is the oldest extant church in the city. The church was built from 1844 to 1848 according to plans by Francis Letourneau, and Peter Kindenkens supervised the construction. In 1877 the Jesuits assumed responsibility for the structure and established a Roman Catholic college to work in conjunction with the church. The building underwent several alterations in 1879, and 1882, and was renovated in 1892. Though the structure has been frequently modified, the original plan is well preserved.

Northampton Township is in the process of developing a Master Plan for the future of Holland and wants input from the community. A town hall meeting will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 7 at the township administration building so that the community can be a part of the conversation.
"Northampton Township is in the process of developing a Master Plan for the future of Holland," a press release from the township said. "This plan will tie together the viable key recommendations of previous initiatives and explore actions to be taken to strengthen the economic structure and physical appearance of Holland."
The township has transformed from a rural farming economy to a more modern suburb, the release explained. Traffic congestion, land use concerns and environmental constraints throughout Holland have caused the township to want to reevaluate the village.
The community is invited to the meeting, which will be held from 7 to 8 p.m., to share opinions on issues throughout the community and to offer insight on developing a vision for the future of the village.
For more information on the meeting, contact Michael Solomon, Director of Planning and Zoning at 215-357-6800 x.214 or by e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Todd Woody, Forbes Staff
I cover environmental and green technology issues from San Francisco.
Since taking over as Google's chief executive from Eric Schmidt, Larry Page has been cleaning house, shuttering services and initiatives that haven't lived up to their billing. On Tuesday, Google axed its big green initiative called RE < C – renewable energy cheaper than coal – an ambitious effort to develop technologies that would make renewable energy competitive with coal-fired power plants.
Even by Google's science-project standards, RE < C went far beyond its core mission of organizing the world's information as engineers attempted to develop more cost-effective solar thermal power systems.
The idea was to build cheaper and more efficient heliostats – mirrors that focus the sun on water-filled boilers to create steam that drive electricity-generating turbines – as well as the software control systems that focus thousands of them on a target. Google engineers also attempted to create a new kind of Brayton engine, a type of turbine driven by compressed hot air rather than steam to generate electricity. Conventional turbines need to be cooled by water, something that's in short supply in the desert where solar thermal power plants are usually are built.
"At this point, other institutions are better positioned than Google to take this research to the next level," Urs Hölzle, Google's senior vice president of operations, wrote in a blog post Tuesday. "So we've published our results to help others in the field continue to advance the state of power tower technology, and we've closed our efforts."
Earlier this year Google abandoned PowerMeter, its home energy management system, and two leaders of the company's green efforts – Bill Weihl and Dan Reicher – have recently left the Googleplex.
So does this mean Google's green days are over?
Not quite. Google has stepped up its investment in renewable energy technologies developed by others, pouring $850 million to date into solar power projects, wind farms and other efforts.
Among the beneficiaries of Google's largesse has been BrightSource Energy, which snagged $168 million from the search giant for its Ivanpah solar thermal power plant now under construction in the California desert. Google has also invested in solar power plant builder eSolar, founded by serial entrepreneur Bill Gross.
Google also put $280 million into a fund to finance installation of residential solar panels by Silicon Valley startup SolarCity. (Rapidly falling prices for photovoltaic modules, which convert sunlight directly into electricity, may have also tempered Google's enthusiasm for efforts to develop its own solar thermal systems.)
In other words, look for Google to tap its bank account rather than its brainpower to further its green goals going forward.
from the article———-" Not quite. Google has stepped up its investment in renewable energy technologies developed by others, pouring $850 million to date into solar power projects, wind farms and other efforts."———
——-" Are Google's Green Days Over?"——
It would seem to me that Google is doing the exact opposite of what the title of the article seems to infer.
Taking a financial stake in other companies that are already in the renewable energy business allows them to concentrate on their core business technology with distraction, and at the same time multiply their reach and scope of involvement in renewables.
It seems to me that a more appropriate and descriptive title would have been:
Google Expands Green Technology Involvement
ooops—-it wouldn't let me edit—-that should be
…..concentrate on their core business technology WITHOUT distraction…….
Google is as committed to green energy now as much as ever, but all companies have to balance the desire to expand against the need to avoid over extending themselves. Selling off some departments and concentrating on the core business strengths is a strategy for weathering the hard times our present economy offers. Google continues to invest in renewable energy, but with focus on the best returns for investment.

Two Citrus College students have been selected to the 2013 Phi Theta Kappa All-California Academic Team.
Michael Li of West Covina and Miquel Benigno Villanueva of Azsua were selected to be a part of the Academic Team.
Li and Villanueva are among the 67 California community college students receiving the honor during a special ceremony in Sacramento March 6.
Although the actual team placements will not be revealed until late February, Citrus College has already been notified that both of its nominees are among the honorees.
Nominations to the team are based on excellent academic performance and service to the college and community.
Each community college in the country nominates two students for the All-American Academic Team, which is sponsored by the Phi Theta Kappa National Honors Society and the Community College League. The nominees are then ranked according to grade point average, extracurricular activities, and community service. The first 60 students are named to the national team. Then, approximately 40 to 50 students from each state are placed on the first or second state team according to rank.
"The California Community College system consists of 112 schools in 72 districts and serves approximately 2.8 million students annually. It is outstanding that two Citrus College students are among the top community college students in the state," said Dr. Geraldine M. Perri, president of Citrus College, in a written statement. "This is a prestigious honor and the entire college community is extremely proud of these impressive individuals."

"We are hoping the pharmacy can be open by June," store manager Sheena Fiedler said Thursday. That will be the first part of the expansion to open because of the demand for it, she said.
Fiedler set up a display of the floor plan of the new store Thursday at the main entrance.
The pharmacy will be part of new and old sections of the store at 600 Continental Blvd. "It will be where aisles one and two were," she said.
The new part will occupy the space vacated by Rite Aid Pharmacy when it closed. Included in the project will be a new front on the building and new deli, bakery and produce departments. The back of the building also will be expanded.
General contractor Zartman Construction began work in the Rite Aid section in December. The project is expected to take a year to 15 months to complete.
Contractors will be working around-the-clock. "They will try to do most of the work overnight," she said.
"A construction crew is working now in the back room," she said.
Besides a pharmacy, the expansion will bring more aisles and more registers, including one more self-checkout station.
Health and beauty products and baby items will expand from one and a half aisles to four aisles.
Plans do not call for the store to sell beer or wine, she said.
One of the new features will be a service case in the meat department displaying fresh-cut meats.
"The closest store that has this is the Lewisburg store," she said.
"This will be one of the newest versions of Weis Markets' look in decor and layout," she said.
When asked if the expansion will result in additional jobs, she said, "Absolutely." Officials still are working on the number to be added, said Fiedler, who has been manager since April.
The last time the store was expanded was about eight years ago.
This is the third remodeling Fiedler has experienced, having started working for Weis Markets 10 years ago when she was 16.
She was assistant manager at the Lewisburg store while it was being remodeled and worked in human resources when the Sunbury store on North Fourth Street was expanded.

Comets Face Friday In Key Game
- Last Updated on 12:22 PM 04/23/12
- BY Joe Chandler
Halifax County High School can get a big leg up in the Western Valley District baseball race tonight when it faces arch-rival GW at 7 p.m. at Dan Daniel Park.
The Comets (9-1 overall) won its Western Valley District opener here Tuesday night, downing Franklin County High School 10-3. A win tonight over GW in Danville would put the Comets at the top of the standings with a cushion over two of the three key challengers for the district crown.
GW lost a home game last week against Patrick Henry High School. A loss to the Comets tonight would put GW two games down in the district title chase.
"It's going to be huge," Comets head coach Kelvin Davis said.
"We talked about it (with the players) last week. We emphasized with the kids how important this first game (Tuesday's game against Franklin County) was. To get both wins would be huge for us. It's always good to get on top early because this is a small five-team district. Every game is important."
Davis said he and his coaches have scouted GW and feel that they have a good game plan for tonight's contest.
"We have scouted GW and have a game plan to work on," Davis noted.
"It's all about playing between the lines. You can work up a good game plan, but the guys have to do it between the lines. We always play well at Dan Daniel Park. I hope we can go up there and have another good night."
The Comets had a good night here Tuesday night in the district opener against Franklin County High School.
Halifax County broke a 2-2 deadlock by exploding for seven runs in the fifth inning to grab a 9-2 advantage. The Comets took advantage of seven walks and got a key run-scoring hit from Tyler Long and a big two-RBI single from Kelvin Davis Jr. to create the big cushion.
Franklin County scored a run in the top of the sixth inning with back-to-back base hits and a passed ball to make the score 9-3.
Halifax County answered with a run in the bottom of the sixth inning. William Worley was struck by a pitch with one out and scored on a double by Luke Griles that was Griles' third hit of the contest.
"We were fortunate to get those big key base hits at the right time," Davis pointed out.
The Comets scored two runs in the bottom of the first inning when Davis and Trent laced together back-to-back singles with one out. Davis scored when Long reached base on a Franklin County error to tie the game at 1-1. Trent scored on a passed ball to give the Comets a 2-1 lead.
Both teams made a couple of miscues in the field, but the Comets made two big defensive plays in the bottom of the second inning that prevented Franklin County from scoring.
The first occurred when Worley threw out the Eagles' Gary Goad at the plate as Goad attempted to score on a double by teammate Ryan Grimmett. Comets' catcher Dylan Hendricks later threw out Grimmett at third base as Grimmett attempted to steal the bag.
"I'm not taking anything away from Franklin County," Davis said.
We made some plays when we needed to make them. Everything just went our way tonight."
The Comets out-hit Franklin County 8-7 in the game. Griles led the Comets with a 3-for-3 effort, with Davis and Trent chipping in two hits each. Long had one hit.
Ryan Puryear did a good job as the Comets' starting pitcher, scattering seven hits and two walks while fanning one batter.
Long went to the mound in relief of Puryear in the top of the sixth inning and struck out two of the five batters he faced in the game.

So there are already a heap of stories and speculation about Apple's decision to stop participating at the Macworld Expo trade show. Here's one and here's another, both from AppleInsider. Maintain perspective with the second because it's a rehash of speculation made after an Apple product launch in October. At the event, COO Tim Cook had a large role in the event, as did Phil Schiller, VP of product marketing, and Jonathan Ive, the company's design guru. It was clearly an opportunity for the company to bring in some new faces even though Jobs might be calling the shots on a number of things including the songs used for commercials.
So pick your reason(s) for the Macworld exit. I tend to take Apple at its word (a position I realize opens me up to a certain amount of skepticism from my readership, all two of you…) on this. Jobs' health will always be questioned and while company officials have said, as they did in 2005, that there is a executive succession plan in place it is "confidential," questions will remain. (It's the blessing and curse of having the company's brand so tightly aligned with one charismatic figure who just happens to be better at framing the company's vision and selling its products than virtually any other technology or media company executive.)
I believe that the reality is a bit more pedestrian. In this day and age, when rapid innovation in hardware and software is required, especially for a company playing in the personal device markets – iPod and iPhone – and the computer hardware and software business, focusing major new product announcements to a single date – set by some other entity — makes no sense.
The company seems to have no problem taking over multiple news cycles before, during and after its own launch events. More important is the fact that its Worldwide Developers Conferences have been sellouts for the past several years and that's an event it controls.
Perhaps I'm being to naïve?

Good music is the crucial ingredient in a good music demo, naturally, but there's more to putting a demo together than just loading it up with your favorite songs. You've got a limited (read: VERY limited) amount of time to make an impact with your demo, so picking the right songs is key. Follow these steps to choose songs for demos that will make your listener want to hear more. Although these steps are designed to specifically address picking out your demo songs, check the end of the article for more info about demos in general.
Here's How:
Make a List:
Right off the bat, you probably have a some ideas about which songs have demo potential and which songs you don't want to lead with. Make a list of the songs you'd like to consider for your demo, and stick to it. This list may be pretty short if you don't have many songs in your arsenal yet, but remember your demo is only going to contain a few songs - narrowing your catalog down to a list of "maybe" tracks will keep you focused and help stop you from going in circles and second guessing yourself. The songs on the list are in play for a place on your demo and the others are out. It will make life easier.
Get Critical:
I know, I know, they're all masterpieces. But your demo needs to be short, so you're going to have to make some cuts. Try to think like a listener - keeping in mind that the person listening to your demo listens to LOTS of demos and that you probably only have 20 seconds or so to stop them moving to the next track (or the next demo). First, make a pass through your list to see if there is anything else you can cross off right away. If not, read on to find out what to look for in the perfect demo track.
Choose the Tracks:
Here's what to look for:
Strong beginnings: does the music not really kick in until 1:20? Skip it.
Catchy beat/refrain/etc: you may not be as in love with your catchier, lighter fare are as you with your deeper, more complex work, but the song that your listener won't be able to get out of their head will work best for you here. (Yes, they may initially curse you for having your song on repeat in their skull, but eventually, they will just HAVE to hear it again.)
Signature songs: No, don't write a theme song. But if you have a song that is a bit different that everyone associates with you, go for it.
Lose The Tracks:
Some songs are best left off the demos, including:
The growers: Sure, song X might be everyone's favorite of yours, but if it took everyone 128 listens before they fell in love with it, it doesn't belong on your demo.
Your attempt at (insert genre here): Showing a breadth of musical ability and innovation is a good thing, but your one-off, half hearted, comedy fueled attempt at rap/metal/country/dancehall/etc isn't demo material. Yes, even if all your friends all assure you it's hilarious. If you don't plan to go there again, don't go there on your demo.
The epics: 15 minute song? Save it for the album.
Solicit Opinions:
Get a few trusted friends - the friends who are willing to offer you constructive criticism - and let them listen to your demo. Get their honest feedback and make changes as needed. This works best if you can rustle up a few friends who haven't heard the songs. That way, you can tell them to listen to the tracks until they've heard enough, and then move on to the next one. This will allow you to to get an idea of how first time listeners at labels may respond. Even if your friends all know all of your songs, it's still important to run the whole thing by some fresh ears.
Leave It Alone:
Once you've chosen the tracks and taken the feedback into account, draw a line under your finished demo. You can second guess yourself, and then triple and quadruple guess when it comes to making a demo, but in reality, it's kind of like a test. Your first guess (or try) is usually the right one.

For The Daily Item
DANVILLE -- Both Danville and Milton entered Wednesday's Heartland Athletic Conference Division I matchup searching for that first win to get their respective seasons going in the right direction.
It turned out to be a close battle between the Ironmen and the Black Panthers, but ultimately one team was going to leave the Danville Middle School tennis courts with two losses to start the year.
With the match tied at two wins apiece, Danville sophomore Alika Lopatka pulled out a three-set decision at No. 3 singles over Milton's Julia Spear to give the Ironmen a 3-2 victory.
"I was a little nervous there, but I was really glad that Alika carried it through and did a good job," said Danville coach Mary Jo Baum. "I'm thrilled. (This victory) should carry us to the next match at Lewisburg on Monday.
"We're just going to take it one match at a time," added Baum. "(This win) should motivate them. I think that first loss (a 3-2 defeat to Jersey Shore on Monday) was tough, so now that we got a win under our belts I think we're ready (to go)."
Although Danville (1-1) picked up decisive wins at both No. 1 and 2 singles to take a 2-0 lead, Milton (0-2) tied the match behind a pair of tough wins in doubles.
"The nice thing is we bounced back after a tough (5-0) loss on Monday to Williamsport and won the number of games that we did," said Milton coach Aaron Slusser. "The match was close."
At No. 1 doubles, Hunter Metzger and Jenna Bowersox beat Amber Renz and Jessica Yoder, 7-5, 7-5.
And in the second doubles match Danville's Abbey Culver and Maya Shenoy put up a valiant effort, but Milton's tandem of Caylee Pinchak and Taylor Wolfe still managed to come away with a 1-6, 6-1, 6-3 victory.

Putting the heart in Valentine's Day
- Last Updated on 08:01 AM 02/13/13
- BY Paula I. Bryant
Valentine's Day is tomorrow, and it's not just about romantic love, candy hearts and flowers.
Guest columnist Chrysti Carol Propes has written the following article sharing how to show love and compassion for others all year long.
She urges adults to use this day of love to teach children about compassion with lessons that will last a lifetime.
A mother of two boys, former teacher, children's book author and writer for educational apps, she believes it's never too early to teach children to think of others and that children should be empowered to explore causes and reach their own decisions about what to support.
By Chrysti Carol Propes
Kids and adults alike look forward to Valentine's Day for the chocolates and cards. The holiday can be about much more than candy, though. It's also an opportunity to talk with children about compassion and how they can help others.
Here are a few ideas to start the conversation with kids:
1. Discuss ways to be inclusive.
If your child's classroom exchanges valentines, make sure your child gives one to everyone in the class. Take the opportunity to talk about how others might feel if they didn't receive a valentine, and point out ways your child can put that same attitude into practice every day of the year. For example, he could invite a classmate who is alone during recess to join his friends in a game.
2. Consider the community.
Children spend much of their time in school and at home. Valentine's Day can be a great excuse to introduce them to groups and activities in the larger community. Your church or community center may host a Valentine's Day event, or hospitals and nursing homes may welcome visitors or valentines to cheer up patients and residents. Choose an activity that's new for your family, and discuss what it means to be an active member of the community.
3. Donate to a charity.
Nothing says love and compassion like giving to a cause that's close to your heart. Talk with your children about why it's important to give to charity — whether it's time, money or both — and involve your children in choosing the charity so the action carries extra meaning to them.
4. Impart the power of words.
Candy hearts with clever messages stamped on them — a Valentine's Day favorite — can be a launching pad for talking about the power of words.
For children who are starting to use social media, discuss the importance of treating others respectfully on online platforms, as well as what to do if they witness or experience cyberbullying.
Valentine's Day may fly by in a sugar-fueled flash, but these conversations can continue well beyond Cupid's holiday.
Make compassion a 365-day initiative in your family.

May 24, 2012
Vermont Attorney General William H. Sorrell announced today that after a jury trial Zak Winston, a former Barre City Police Department Officer, was found guilty of Unlawful Trespass, Unlawful Mischief, and Resisting Arrest. The jury also found Mr. Winston not guilty of Burglary.
According to papers filed in court and the evidence presented at trial, on January 3, 2011, Mr. Winston entered his neighbor's apartment at around 2:30 a.m. without permission or the lawful authority to do so. Afterwards, he threw the television that was just stolen from his neighbor's apartment into the Winooski River. In addition, he unlawfully resisted the efforts of two Montpelier Police Department Officers to arrest him.
Mr. Winston will be sentenced at a later date after the Department of Corrections completes a pre-sentence investigation report. Mr. Winston faces up to 5 years imprisonment and a fine of not more than $3,500.00.

2012 Rio - reviews
I found the Canadian Kia site and checked out the Rio. Interesting that they are sold so differently in our two countries. They have an SX model here in the states. It's the only one with a sunroof but still doesn't come with a manual transmission. I really want a manual. I was surprised at how much fun that car was to drive and how well it handled. I'd love to take it out for some spirited driving in the mountains. I guess that is what my 1974 MGB is for.
Placeman Posts: 44That's because the SX has an electronic locking mechanism for the hatch, not a mechanical one. The electronic mechanism makes having the mechanical lever obsolete. You don't need to "pop" the hatch using a lever since you only need to touch the button under the rear hatch handle to activate the electronic lock.
The reason there's an interior release for the trunk on the sedan is because if you don't use the key, there isn't any other way to open the trunk. On the 5-door you don't have that problem, because there's a handle on the outside. So no need for an interior hatch release on any 5-door model.
Well, there IS a reason... for example, so you can unlock the hatch for someone you are dropping off someplace so they can get their stuff out of the back w/o grabbing the handle, which might be covered with who-knows-what. But they'll have to touch the lid someplace anyway to lift it.
Then there's the question of, what happens if the electric latch switch fails on the hatch? Some of these hatches don't have a keyhole anymore--not sure if the Rio5 has one.
My old Elantra GT doesn't have an interior hatch release, but the latch in back is mechanical plus there's a keyhole.
I agree with cbmorton reference a passenger exiting the vehicle and wanting to quickly grab something out of the rear storage area. First, it's quicker/easier for them, and second, they are not familiar with the location of that electronic button.
Is this a major issue? Of course not. However, with all of the high tech gadgets, such as a rear view camera, one would think an interior hatch release button would be standard. I had one on my Ford Focus and it was sooooooooo convenient.
The best place to lift the rear hatch is with the handle.
Rio 5's without remotes have a keyhole. All a release will do is pop the hatch it won't fully open so you still have to grab it and lift, so its not as if you was an auto version where it fully opened. A sedan is different as it will pop more open due to its size and weight.
As for if the electric latch switch fails - which would be extremely rare, then there is an emergency tailgate safety release which is mentioned in your manual.
My previous Rondo and now my new Soul doesn't have an inside mechanical hatch release. Not sure if the Rio has it but when I stop and put my Soul into park all the doors unlock automatically, so a passenger wanted to get something out of back just goes around and grabs the handle-latch and lifts the door to get the item out, I can't see a mechanical release would make it go any quicker. Never been an issue to me.
I had an older station wagon that had the mechanical release, but all it did was unlock it, the door barely moved.
both the Accent and Rio use the same transmissions and engine. There is no difference in that respect.
Only the base model is cheaper and it depends whether you are talking about a sedan or a hatchback
Accent sedan manual - $12,545, Rio - $13,400
Accent sedan auto - $15,295; Rio - $14,500
Accent hatch manual - $14,695, Rio 5 - $13,600
Accent hatch auto - $15,895; Rio 5 - $14,700
Obviously they will eventually figure it out but I don't think you get it. Having an interior hatch release isn't necessary, but it is a nice little extra. Why not throw it in? I had a hatch release in my Ford Focus and it would open the hatch so all you had to do was lift. It was one of those things you think you never need until you have it and then miss it.
Admittedly this sounds like a spoiled American but why not? As I mentioned earlier, this is a trivial flaw in an otherwise fabulous vehicle.
Even though the Accent uses the same engine and transmission, the RIO wins out on looks and more high tech features such as a rear view camera, LED Running and Brake Lights, plus outside mirrors that fold with the press of a button. In addition, the outside mirrors are heated on the RIO which is a major plus in a cold climate.
If that isn't enough, the KIA has UVO so you can control Sirius Satellite Radio and your phone with voice commands.
I've driven both models. The EX drive feels far superior to the SX. The EX is smooth where the SX feels every bump and feels as if it loses it's grip on a rough road. Basically feels like two different cars. There is no way I would buy the SX. What did they do to screw up the ride so badly? It can't just be to 17" wheels, but I guess it could. They didn't have the color in stock yet that I wanted for the EX model but did for the SX. The salesmen couldn't understand why I wouldn't just pay $200 dollars more. He didn't understand that that the SX model drove like [non-permissible content removed]. That dealership in Fairfax, VA is horrible. I never got an hones answer out of them. They lied on the quote over the phone and the one they gave me through NFCU and then were pushy and tried to sell me a car I didn't want. I've told them to stop calling me and they continue to do so. Sorry about the dealership rant.
The Focus had the interior release because there wasn't one on the outside - just a keyhole. Again, it's pretty standard to only have a release inside OR outside. I guess Kia could have included both, but it's not surprising that they didn't, especially at this price point. Still, if that's the worst "flaw" in your opinion I think it's an example of how Kia did pretty well equipping this car!
My "trivial flaw" is that the ignition has to be on to close the sunroof. Most cars give you 45-60 seconds to close the windows and sunroof after you shut off the engine, but on Kia vehicles this only works for the windows. Now there's something I wish they'd thrown in.
Conanrulee' post proves buying a car is very personal decision as you should never allow someone else to sway your opinion. In this case, my feelings are the complete opposite of his.
The 5 Door SX RIO handles extremely well, I describe it as nimble and I prefer it over the softer, middle of the road EX model. With the SX you sacrifice a little comfort over rough surfaces, such as expansion joints, for better handling. I'm not sure why he feels the car loses it's grip on rough surfaces because I don't sense that at all.
I also like the low profile 17 inch tires plus the beautiful aluminum wheels on the sportier SX model. But he's right about that, those tires and wheels definitely change the handling equation. Judge for yourself and see what rocks your boat.

I did an experiment after reading so many "filling not setting" comments: I put it in the refridge for a couple of hours BEFORE pouring into the crust. Surprize! Mine was set so that it was the same thickness as the cream pie filling you buy at a store! I was so creamy and sweet! I actually folded some melted cholocate in the half of the filling, and it was delicious! You just need to make sure you are using a can of SWEETENED CONDENSED MILK, not evaporated milk. I agree with the previous reviewer - I think the people with "filling not setting" made a mistake using evaporated milk. I will make it again!
I made this pie for a 4th of July family reunion of 35 people. Instead of making the crust I got a ready made Oreo pie crust but followed the rest of the directions just like they are shown & it turned out great. I also made a second one & added butterscotch pudding to the cream cheese & sweetened condensed milk mixture that came out well also,The pudding made it very thick but once everything else was on it & chilled for 3 hours .....well both of them within 30 mins. of putting them on the table, were gone & I have requests for more.I wonder if the people that said it wouldn't set, use evaporated milk instead of the sweetened condensed milk? I know that I almost made that mistake. Just a thought.
Make sure the sweetened condensed milk is made with whole milk. The reicpe does NOT work with lowfat or nonfat.

Setting up an Ambush: New franchise tackles team-building 101 (part 2)
Setting up an Ambush: New franchise tackles team-building 101 (part 2)
Thursday, August 29, 2013
(This is the last in a series on starting up the Major Indoor Soccer League's St. Louis Ambush. Part one is here.)
While the Ambush execute marketing efforts to establish a presence in St. Louis, Coach Daryl Doran is assembling the team itself.
"I've been out of this for a while, so I have a lot of homework to do," said Doran, who has spent the past few years running a fitness center that bears his name in St. Charles County.
Daryl Doran (center) coaches the new St. Louis Ambush, whose ownership group includes Andrew Haines (right) and Glen Goldstein.
He stayed in soccer as a youth coach and a sometime player, most recently on an over-40 team that competed in the Show-Me Games in July. His reward for playing was a torn tendon and broken bone in his heel, requiring a boot he wore for about six weeks.
The team is taking shape following the first of two open tryouts earlier this month. From a field of 140 players, the Ambush signed Mike Mesle, Patrick McSheehy and Corey Adamson last week. Mesle and McSheehy are St. Louisans. Mesle played for the MISL's Wichita Wings last season. Adamson is from Clearwater, Fla. But the
biggest signing announced last week was that of St. Louisan Jeff DiMaria as player-assistant coach. DiMaria, 36, played for the second Steamers for five seasons.
With four players signed and at least 16 more to be added, Doran will watch candidates carefully at a second open tryout Sept. 7-8. About 40 players from the first tryout have been invited back. Doran hopes to emerge from that tryout with most of his roster, which will be completed with a few veteran players. Plans are to keep about 20 players, including two goalkeepers, plus perhaps a half-dozen reserves. Training camp begins in October.
The league schedule has not been announced, but the Ambush know they will begin on the road on a date to be determined. Their home opener will be Friday night, Nov. 22, and their second home match will be the next night.
Most, perhaps all, of the players will be part-timers who will have to juggle another job around five practices a week during camp, and training along with home and away games during the regular season.
Three elements factor into the roster Doran is building: speed, goalkeeper foot skills, and executing free kicks.
"The indoor game is a lot faster than what I was used to when I played, so we're looking for young guys with good speed," Doran said. "Keepers have to be good with their feet, especially because teams are pressuring all the time. Free kicks are great opportunities to score goals, and we were always one of the top three in the league (with earlier St. Louis indoor teams) on free kicks. We have to be good defending against them as well as taking them."
While Doran builds the team, the front office is busy building a ticket base. Without a schedule for single-game sales, the team has focused on season tickets. The goal is to sell 1,000 season tickets.
Fan support is important in more ways than keeping the Ambush in business. The MISL is part of the United Soccer Leagues, which operates the third (USL Pro) and fourth (Premier Development League) divisions of men's outdoor soccer in the United States. Tony Glavin, owner of the St. Louis Lions in the PDL, owns the USL rights for an outdoor professional team in St. Louis.
It should be noted that USL Pro has a working relationship with first-division Major League Soccer. Four USL Pro franchises served as development teams for MLS clubs in 2013, and MLS wants to increase that to 10 next season. Connecting all the dots, a well-supported indoor team might be a step to a USL Pro outdoor team on the long path to an eventual MLS franchise in St. Louis.
"The Ambush is a good opportunity to show the MLS that St. Louis can support a team," Haines said. "St. Louis has had great crowds for the two international matches here this summer (with total ticket sales topping102,000), but the question is, can St. Louis support a season-long operation? I'm not saying that our success is critical to St. Louis getting an MLS franchise, but it can help."

Vertebroplasty Treatment for Back Pain Relief
What is vertebroplasty?
The treatment of the pain from spinal compression fractures due to osteoporosis has come a long way in the last ten years. Where treatments used to consist only of medication, bracing and bed rest, you now have further options available. If your pain is severe and continues for weeks or months despite initial treatment, you may benefit from a procedure called VERTEBROPLASTY.
For most patients, vertebroplasty provides immediate and lasting relief of the pain related to vertebral compression fractures. With a quick recovery time and a long window of pain relief, vertebroplasty allows many patients to return to their normal activities within a few days and can also, in some cases, prevent further collapse of the vertebra, eight loss and spine curvature.
To find out if vertebroplasty is the best options for you, ask your doctor for referral to an Interventional Radiologist or Neuroradiologist from Mountain Medical Imaging Center. The radiologists of Mountain Medical have provided imaging and interventional services at local hospitals for almost half a century. Our outpatient imaging centers have the ability to bring leading edge techniques, such as vertebroplasty, to the community in a convenient, prompt and professional manner.
What is percutaneous vertebroplasty?
Percutaneous vertebroplasty is an effective treatment for patients suffering from painful spinal compression fractures commonly associated with osteoporosis, tumors or vertebral hemangomas.
Who should be considered for this procedure?
A CT, MRI, x-ray, or bone scan can help to determine whether a patient is a candidate for the procedure. Typically, these individuals are women older than 55 with osteoporosis-induced compression fractures that have not responded to more conservative treatments. The treatment is also available for men with similar fractures and symptoms.
How is the procedure performed?
This is an outpatient procedure that lasts about 40-60 minutes and uses intravenous sedation and local anesthetic. A needle is inserted and x-ray guided into the fractured vertebra through a tiny skin incision. Bone cement is injected into the fractured vertebra to prevent further collapse and relieve pain.
Is the bone cement harmful?
No, the same bone cement has been used in hip and knee replacements for over 30 years. Sterile barium is added to the cement so it can be placed safely within the spine and antibiotics can be used to decrease the risk of infection. Best of all, patients can move normally and will not have any mobility impairment due to the cement.
Will my health insurance play pay for this?
Most insurance policies (including Medicare) will pay for this procedure for those who are diagnosed with vertebral compression fractures.
How long does it take the actual bone cement to harden?
It takes about 15 minutes and the patient goes home the same day, although they should plan to take it easy for a day or two.

Fix 2008 Immigration Reform Law to Help Unaccompanied Migrant Children
By Henry Cuellar |
Highly skilled, foreign-born workers who have been educated at U.S. colleges and universities in STEM fields are engines of entrepreneurship and economic growth. Keeping more of these foreign-born STEM graduates in the United States is vital to ensuring a return to economic prosperity and maintaining America's competitiveness in the global marketplace.
Too bad many of them are sent packing after completing their studies, depriving the U.S. economy of their talent.
Instead, our global competitors take advantage of this valuable human capital. As an example, according to a scholar's October 2011 testimony before the House Judiciary Committee, 30 to 40 percent of start-ups in Bangalore and Beijing were founded by citizens educated in the STEM fields in the United States.
[Check out the U.S. News STEM education blog.]
Aside from possessing desirable skill sets, foreign-born STEM graduates are proven job creators. A report by the Technology CEO Council stated that entrepreneurial "start-ups are disproportionately founded and supported" by foreign-born individuals. As of 2009, foreign graduates of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology alone founded an estimated 2,340 U.S. companies employing more than 100,000 people. A study from the University of California–Berkeley and Duke University found that over 25 percent of U.S. engineering and tech companies created between 1995 and 2005 had at least one foreign-born founder, and in 2006, these companies employed 450,000 people and claimed a combined $52 billion in sales.
Highly skilled foreign-born STEM graduates are a boon to our overall economy. According to the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service, in 2006, this group was responsible for 25.6 percent of all international patents. Additionally, the U.S. Department of Commerce has stated that STEM-related jobs have grown three times as fast as non-STEM jobs in the last 10 years. Also worth noting: Google, Intel, eBay, and Yahoo!—titans of industry all—were founded in part by foreign-born individuals.
[See a collection of political cartoons on immigration.]
Some argue that allowing foreign-born STEM graduates to remain in the United States will allow them to take American jobs. But for decades, these individuals have worked alongside Americans to propel some of our most important industries to the forefront of global innovation. As Frank Kendall, principal deputy undersecretary of defense for acquisition, technology, and logistics, stated at a May 2011 Senate hearing, the caliber of foreign-born engineers who graduated with him in the 1970s went on to make the United States a world leader in the fields of defense and aerospace. He also stated that now, the same caliber of foreign-born graduates are being pushed into the workforces of our global competitors.
So how do we keep more of those brains in the United States? I've introduced the Stopping Trained in America Ph.D.s from Leaving the Economy Act (STAPLE Act), which would exempt foreign-born individuals who have earned a Ph.D. in the STEM fields from a U.S. institution from the annual limits on the number of employment-based green cards and H-1B visas.
The value of retaining high-skilled talent cannot be overstated. The special skill sets of these individuals strengthen our economy by creating jobs, fostering entrepreneurship, and enhancing U.S. competitiveness in the global marketplace. Ensuring U.S. industry access to the world's best and the brightest ensures that we stay on the leading edge of global innovation.

On Nelson Mandela International Day – 18 July – Mandela's fashion line, 466/64 was showcased at a press conference in New York.
The brand (pronounced four, double six, six four) was founded by Nelson Mandela and is taken from his prisoner number (prisoner 466 in 1964) during his 27 year incarceration on Robben Island.
The faces of the brand are Lira, a multi-platinum South African vocalist, and Sam Sarong, an international model.
According to WWD, the line is defined by bold colours, prints, subtle detail and fashion-forward styling. It includes chinos, dresses, denim, blazers, T-shirts, shirts and knitwear.
The range includes women's, men's and children's wear and is available from www.46664fashion.com. A collection will also be shown at NY Fashion Week in September.
It is hoped that the globalisation of 466/64 fashion will not only help create jobs in the South African textile industry where 60% of the collection is produced, but will also provide an income stream for the charitable work of the 466/64 Foundation.
Would you wear any of the pieces from the 466/64 collection?

Thread: 1994 Ext Cab lowering question
1994 Ext Cab lowering question
i am looking at buying a 1994 ext cab 1500 2wd pickup that has a belltech lowering kit on it. the owner says the front is lowered with 2" drop spindles and the rear with 4" hangers. my question is, how will this effect my towing capabilities if i were to buy this truck. also, what is involved with getting rid of the lowering kit? i know stock spindles for the front, but what about for the rear? i have never dealt with lowered trucks before. thanks.
I could be wrong, I would think that the towing capacity would be lower because you do not have the room for the suspension to compress with the weight of the trailer. Not to mention what weight the rear hangers are rated for. As far as returning it to stock goes, yes stock spindles up front and I would think that you could just remove the hangers and bolt the leaf springs back into the stock position. You will probably have to replace the shocks also.

Lowering in this manner wont affect the spring rate at all, but as pointed out the bump stops are now a lot closer.
Front end wont pose a problem, but for the rear look at the Roadmaster Active Suspension (RAS) it's just about tailor made for this truck, while it'll maintain stock spring rates unloaded, which is what I assume the previous owner was attempting to achieve by using this method of lowering, when loaded it'll stiffen the spring rate and stop the rear from landing on the bump stops.
I'm presently using this suspension on a 2011 1500 that I lowered 2" in the rear, it offers great roll control and helps handle my 18' ski boat or a car trailer well.
