Studio One CEO, Andrew Susman writes to Digiday on the importance Cleaning Up Content Marketing
Andrew Susman is president of Studio One, a content marketing management company.
Low-quality content is a disease that has the potential to damage the effectiveness of content marketing for everyone, including the marketers who are executing it well.
Content marketing, well executed, provides great value to both brands and users. However, as Jack Marshall brought up in a recent Digiday article, content marketing has a major quality control issue. The problem is that when users click on what looks like a promising link, only to find it is just a disguised marketing pitch, they will increasingly turn away from anything that looks similar. In effect, they develop an immune response to all forms of sponsored content, no matter how good it is. They write of all sponsored content as being a waste of their time.
We have seen this problem before, the abuse of a marketing tool degrading its effectiveness. The rise of so-called "content farms" led to the creation of Google's "Pando" anti- linkbait algorithm. The creation of spam led to spam filters. Overuse of telemarketing led to federally mandated do-not-call lists. In a cautionary note to "native advertisers" the FTC ruled that Video News Releases (VNRs, essentially corporate press releases) that were once widely used in local TV news programs, must be clearly identified, which greatly curtailed their use.
There are plenty of precedents for marketing abuses annoying consumers to the point that the government steps in. But even short of that, there are good reasons for the industry to deal with the problem of low-quality sponsored content head on. Marketers need to think about long term. For now they may be able to measure a rise in clicks, but they may be missing the more important measure of long-term damage to the brand as users associate a negative experience with branded content. Granted, some of the purveyors of low-grade content don't have much brand image to be concerned about. All the more reason for marketers who want to get the most out of content marketing to find a way to dissociate their brands from the sludgy stuff.
The real issue is defining "quality." There are many gradations between aviation fuel and sludge, and it's hard to set objective standards. Unfortunately there is no magical review board to provide a "seal of approval" for quality branded content, so it comes down to marketers and publishers respecting their consumers. That means marketers need to commit to presenting only useful and/or entertaining content to their audiences and also clearly disclosing their sponsorship role.
If brands and marketers don't start being more consistent in their production of valuable, interesting and useful sponsored content, then content marketing will become as exciting and useful as the banner ad.
While it is the year of data, mobile, and the snake, 2013 also continues to revitalize the age-old trend of content marketing and syndication. It seems these ideas are so old they're new again.
John Deere has been doing it since 1895 with "The Furrow," so what is making content marketing so attractive now to the modern marketer? While there is no clear cut definition of content marketing, I would put forth that it is content created by a brand, that even if the branding were removed, that the content would still be valuable and engaging to a reader. If done well, it creates positive brand connotation. And if we work with that definition, it makes sense that the modern marketer (much like the modern publisher) wants to get the attention of content-ravenous consumers, most of whom have one or more devices attached to them at any given moment with which to consume.
Untitled-1.pngLast week, the IAB held a Content Marketing Town Hall to foster a discussion around both the concerns and opportunities publishers have in the content marketing and syndication space. The IAB AdLab was packed to the brim. Publishers came with some fears about brands honing in on the content business. To open the day, Andrew Susman, President & CEO of StudioOne and ICSC Board Chairman, reminded us with calming voice that, "Currently the industry sees branded content as a type of media buy, butactually it's a type of content. If you bring audience to branded content - you get content marketing."
Joe Pulizzi, Founder of the Content Marketing Institute, delivered the opening keynote of the day, outlining the opportunity for publishers and brands to work together to deliver relevant content to consumers, whether branded or editorial, because, as Jonathan Perelman, VP Agency Strategy and Industry Development at BuzzFeed later noted, "Great content finds its audience." So it seems that the name of the game is getting engaging content in a place where your readers will consume it, whether you're a publisher embracing branded content on your site, or you're looking to syndicate out your editorial content to brands.
One concern did resound in the room around advertorial content. Should there be guidelines that clearly denote advertorial content? Do ethical standards need to be set for branded content and along with it, best practices on transparency and disclosure? Do we need to create sponsored content labeling conventions? And especially as automated platforms serve up content, how can we ensure that we're seamlessly integrating advertorial content but not duping readers? The need to ensure will undoubtedly be an ongoing conversation within the IAB, among our membership, and in the industry as a whole.

As brands delve deeper into the content game, it can be difficult to manage and understand how to best leverage these assets. For many brands, content creation is relatively uncharted territory. Unlike publishers, who've become acquainted with the trials and tribulations of online metrics and data, marketers are faced with a challenge in tracking the performance of branded material. Studio One, a content creator and distributor, is aiming to jump in early and help brands navigate this new space with today's launch of its Content Asset Management Platform.
The dashboard can track each story and origin language (asmany global brands are managing and tracking content in multiple regions and languages), as well as socialengagement metrics and simple pageview statistics to help brandsunderstand how their content is performing. "We're not just creatingcontent in a vacuum," Studio One COO Devin Johnson told Adweek."We're seeing what is hot and what works. What CAMP allows us todo is organize the information and data that we are getting so thatwe can make good decisions based on the content we are creatingand reusing. Ultimately we want brands to invest in content and geta good return."
While CAMP is in its infancy, the creation of a content asset management dashboard geared toward brands represents the latest step in the growing trend of brands acting as publishers. Some marketers have been so quick to jump on the branded content bandwagon that they find themselves unable to manage and monitor the bulk of content they've put out. Johnson noted that "we've been listening closely, and this type of management system is what brands are asking for."
While Studio One boasts some large clients like Procter & Gamble and Intel, the question remains as to whether these blue-chip brands will find success engaging audiences with branded content, a process that sucks up considerable time and energy and one that is foreign to many legacy brands. If the current trend continues, dashboards like Studio One's will allow brands to adopt a plug-and-play approach to their content and obsessively track metrics in a searchable and accessible way. Yet many brands and advertisers are also investing heavily in the reinvention of the display ad, which could create some friction and confusion as marketers look for successful strategies for the Web.

Organization: Studio One
Studio One, one of the country's premiere web syndication services, delivers a broad range of content across multiple verticals. The content is sponsored by advertisers, but CEO and co-founder Susman insists editorial independence is the key to information that users trust: "A certain truism in an on-demand media universe is that no one demands more advertising. Content must not have any kind of hidden agenda from an advertiser or corporation in order for consumers to trust it." The model is "like an Associated Press, but supported by advertisers," and Susman's been at the forefront of this content strategy since 1998. As content marketing heats up, we're watching Studio One for leadership in the face of competition.

For journalists, a freelancing career usually means a life of instability and, in the Internet age, can result in partnerships with less-than-reputable publishers and institutions. Just like the quality of freelance jobs, freelancers also vary in quality—but now content network Studio One is launching a program to certify its freelancers in an effort to assure the production of high-quality content.
Shifts in digital publishing have led brands to change the waysin which they interact with online publishers and editorial teams,often trying to find ways to package advertisements as originaleditorial content that enhances, rather than disrupts, user experiences. As a content creation network,Studio One builds partnerships with brands to form editorial entitiesthat make relevant brand content geared to help reach a tailoredaudience. Through the creation of custom freelance editorial teams,the formula has landed Studio One partnerships with a variety ofsponsors like Procter & Gamble, Nestlé, IBM and Intel.
Partnerships aside, the freelancing formula for content generators often makes brands and publishers uneasy. Content farms are guilty of countless accounts of journalistic malpractice and often mistreat and overwork freelance employees to the bone for little reward. This is one reason why Studio One is certifying its writers.
According to the guidelines, a Studio One freelancer will have at least three years of professional experience, demonstrated Web experience, knowledge of the content area they're writing for and a keen understanding of SEO practices. Peter Sikowitz, Studio One's evp of content and programming, told Adweek that the certification is a formal application of a process they've been using to produce content for years.
"We've been doing something very similar while we've been in a pretest mode," he said. "In addition to our usual metrics, we can use this and make sure we are hitting our marks for content. We feel we have much value to bring to brands and readers as well."

Is your business a tortoise or a hare? Too many digital marketing and media companies – prodded by salivating venture capitalists and enticing exit strategies – jump at the chance to be the latter. The quicker you move, the quicker you get the spoils, after all.
But remember the lesson of Aesop's fable: it's the tortoise that ultimately wins the race.
In any industry, that means a company that rides out shifts in the marketplace and ultimately delivers long-term rewards.
Take Apple. When the company was way down a couple of decades back, it resisted buyouts from IBM and Sun Microsystems. Eventually, refusing to give up on its mission of serving customers over quick financial fixes, it won over consumers – and Apple's stockholders also got their just rewards.
That's a prime example of how long-term planning beats the quick fix. But look at what's been happening just recently in the digital marketing world. In a mad push for short-term results designed to convince bigger companies to make acquisitions, start-ups latch on to the latest trend that looks expeditious and may prove opportunistic. The prevalence of what might be called "click lust" may have diminished, thanks largely to improved Google algorithms that reward quality over manipulated search results, but now you have companies touting the number of their Twitter followers, Facebook likes and Klout scores – none of which has anything necessarily to do with nurturing meaningful relationships that will actually build brands in the long run.
How do you achieve long-term success? First, you need to get your money from paying customers, not from investors – "by earning their deserved trust," in the words of Warren Buffet's business partner Charlie Munger.
When you're playing with investors' money and you're not contributing meaningful revenue, you're building a house of cards. And, as an earlier generation of Internet startups learned with a bang in March 2000, that house can fall down faster than the hare can outrun it. Over 95 percent of late '90s startups don't exist today.
You'd think this industry would have learned from that dot-com bubble and subsequent collapse. But that's hardly the nature of either venture capitalists or profit seekers, out for the quick buck.
Not even the financial crisis that started in 2007 – which was caused by similar bubbles in worldwide real estate markets – could dim the lure of technology capital funding.
In the best scenario, companies running on VC's "funny money" resemble Wall Street. And, just as speculative financial derivatives can cause collapse, so too can rampant derivative content in the Internet world.
So how can you avoid the potential pitfalls? It really depends on the type of company – and businessperson – you want to be. The founders of social network Bebo, for example, made it clear from launch in 2005 that their end goal was to sell out to a larger company – indeed, why attempt the difficult task of competing head-on with Facebook when it's easier to get a company like AOL to buy you?
If you're like Steve Jobs, however, and your passion is in providing consumers – or maybe, in your case, BtoB customers – with useful and better products, you have an inherent aversion to selling out, even if it means leaving the very company you started for greener pastures.
Not everyone, of course, is a certified genius like Jobs. My company started in 1998, in the midst of that first Internet boom, but we were determined to be in the game for the long haul. That meant we had to actually make real money. When we received our first and only investment capital, we too were asked about our exit strategy. Our response? "Studio One's exit strategy is to build a sustainable business – then we can do whatever we want."
And that's my advice when today's start-up execs ask me the secret of our success: Ignore the bank's needs and focus on your customers' needs.
But do keep in mind that not all investors or investment banks play the speculation game. The Jordan Edmiston Group (JEGI), for instance, is a digital media investment bank that seeks to work only withprofitable companies.
They look for companies with real cash flow, or at the very least real plans for getting cash soon – not just exit strategies for loading their businesses onto other parties. At a recent IAB meeting, JEGI's Co-President, Tolman Geoffs, asked a panel of executives from smart money-backed trading desks how many of them were profitable. Only one exec meekly half-raised his hand.
Having a real long-range business plan can mean you might not make as much money as fast as you might otherwise. It means putting your faith in future profits over immediate gratification. It means building a company so you can sell products and services, not so you can sell the company.
If the latter method is your preference, I sincerely wish you the best of luck. As for me, instead of playing the hare's fast and furious shell game, look for me under the tortoise's solid and reliable shell. And I hope to see you on the other side of the finish line.
So are you built to sell out – or built to succeed in the long run?

Studio One Networks, a pioneer in the online syndication business, has subtly repositioned itself into a supplier of "content marketing" to advertisers and agencies, and has hired a veteran of a major media brand, NBC Universal, to oversee its expansion.
The executive, Devin Johnson, joins Studio One as COO from NBC Universal, where he was general manager of Digital Works@NBCU, where he developed "private label" content for some of the Web's biggest brand marketers -- several of which, like Procter & Gamble, also are major clients of Studio One.
In an interview with Online Media Daily, Johnson explained that while the distribution strategies differ -- NBCU was a destination, whereas Studio One focuses primarily on pushing the marketing content it develops for brands out to other destinations, principally bloggers and "long-tail" publishers -- the goal of tapping and leveraging compelling and utilitarian content on behalf of brands is the same.
Johnson, who will work with Studio One Founder and CEO Andrew Sussman, acknowledged that he needs to learn more about the distribution side of the business, but that the elements that worked for NBCU are the same ones that will drive the business for Studio One: Content that long-tail publishers want to pick up, and that brands want them to pick up.
Johnson describes it as a win/win, because the Internet has created content demand from publishers that expands every time a new publisher enters the blogosphere, not to mention even longer-tail individuals -- social media users -- who are apt to pick it up and distribute among their communities of friends.
Johnson says it starts with the content -- which must be integral, and created by journalists working with brand marketers to mine their content, not what the brand or agency deems working in a vacuum.
"We still hire journalists," he says, emphasizing that while Studio One does utilize scientific analytics and methods for knowing which content will work best for a brand and its audience, it still requires the judgment and curation of human beings.
Johnson says that requires knowledge not just of the ways of online syndication, but understanding the elements of a brand, its integral content, and the audiences it is trying to reach.
When they come together, Johnson likens the result to a powerful ad network, except that instead of money changing hands (i.e., buying disaggregated user impressions), it's simply content that is being exchanged.
He says typical campaigns can range from "very niche" audiences, say targeting CEOs or COOs of companies, to larger audience segments cable of reaching several million unique visitors.
"Companies were doing content marketing before people were using the term 'content marketing'," Johnson notes. What's changed, he explains, is the sophistication of the people and systems that know how to discover, edit, match and distribute the right content with the right audience.

A new permanent character added to a TV show as an attempted improvement, which ends up backfiring by changing the chemistry of the show altogether and destroying whatever momentum the show already had. Polar opposite of an Urkel (where a terminally ill show was revived by adding the new character). Giggle and Hoot (Australian Childrens TV show on ABC) were a perfectly functional TV team presenting a "wrapper show" (i.e. wrapped around short kids shows). The chemistry between Jimmy Giggle (cool guy) and Hoot (owl puppet) was great until ABC felt they had to add a female counterpart, "Hootabelle". Chemistry gone. Dynamic duo no longer dynamic.
The Big Bang Theory started with outstanding chemistry by juxtaposing four awkward nerds with one hot female neighbour. Two key elements were Howard's sleaziness (thinking of himself as successful with the ladies but ultimately failing repeatedly) and Sheldon's uniqueness (no further description required). This show was running hot - and yet the writers added not one but TWO Poochies - Bernadette (now Howard's fiancee) totally neutralises the failed Casanova element that made Howard funny, and then Amy Farrah Fowler comes along as a "female version of Sheldon", removing all that was unique and hilarious about the show's strongest character. Series 4 and 5 TBBT are materially different from the earlier episodes that made this show a world-beater. |

During the later third millennium B.C., Mesopotamia was ruled by successive territorial empires. The first—the Akkadian Empire (2350–2150 B.C.)— was centered at Agade, a city still not located by archaeologists but probably near modern Baghdad. The official language of this empire was Akkadian, a Semitic language that differed greatly from Sumerian, which previously had been the predominant language of Mesopotamia. In addition to its political and economic innovations in administering a large territory, the Akkadian court produced innovative art in a powerful and naturalistic style.
This magnificent head portrays a king of the late third millennium B.C. Its heavy-lidded eyes, prominent but unexaggerated nose, full lips, and enlarged ears all suggest a portrait of an actual person. While the date and place of manufacture of this piece have been much debated, its close similarity to the magnificent bronze head found at Nineveh make a late third millennium date most likely. The head is cast almost solid (making it extremely heavy), but a dowel hole at the base would have served to join it to a body or other support, most likely for display in a temple setting.

Among the dappled sunlight that made its way through the branches of the trees moved a silent and stealthy figure. It was human, and if you looked close enough, the figure was female. Though she was dressed like a man in leather pants, a short tunic over that with a cloak that kept close to her body as she moved. Her auburn hair was pulled back into a messy braid that had leaves in it. Whether they were there on purpose or they were accidental, was hard to tell.
Green eyes searched around her as she slipped among the trees, bow out and drawn, arrow held in place as she searched for the sound of the thump. There was buck more than likely. Or someone's horse had strayed into the forest. But that was unlikely. Perhaps it was the big bear. Again, unlikely. But even if she didn't take the stag that was surely just ahead of her down, she'd feel more accomplished if she could find him. Anything was better than the rabbit that was currently tied around her waist in a bag.
It was sad, really, that the forest was so lifeless. It was her lively hood to hunt. But there was a difference between hunting, and killing off a forest. And that's what was seeming to have happened here.
The Huntress' eyes finally caught the flashing sight of something moving through the trees to her left. Slowly, cautiously, she moved over, stooping down to peer out onto the path between two trees to see just what was there. Her breath caught in her chest as she looked up at the most beautiful stag she'd ever seen. He was huge, his antlers were beyond impressive. She almost didn't want to draw her bow against this creature.
But her body moved before her mind could stop her and she was standing, bracing herself and pulling back on the taunt string, looking down the arrow as she lined up her shot. An almost unnatural silence fell over the two of them as she took in a deep breath, releasing it as well as the arrow in the same moment. She watched in that eerie silence as the shaft of the arrow flew through the air for its mark, waiting for any impact it might take, or for the Stag to notice her there and flee before it could find its home in its flank.

Lindsay Craven
Staff Writer
Beekeeper, author, father, police captain. These are not titles many would expect to see bundled together into one person, but these are all titles that define Patrick Long.
Long was born and raised in Yadkin County. He attended Yadkinville Elementary School and Forbush High School.
He began his career in law enforcement in 1989 when he took a job working third shift in communications with the Yadkin County Sheriff's Office.
"I needed a summer job for money in 1989. and there was an opening at the sheriff's office in communications. I thought I could probably do that," Long said.
From here Long started working his way up the ladder of law enforcement. The sheriff at the time asked him if he would be interested in attending rookie school, and Long agreed.
"I didn't really give it a lot of thought to begin with, it was just another thing to do but once you start this kind of work it just gets in your blood and it's hard to get out of it," Long said.
In 1991 he went to Wilkes Community College, where he received his certification in basic law enforcement training. Because Long was only 20 at the time he graduated and couldn't be a deputy until he was 21, he began working part time at the Yadkinville Police Department.
"When I turned 21 the sheriff swore me in, and I worked both places part time as a sworn officer," Long said. "In 1992 the town received a grant for a drug officer so that opened another position, and I got hired full time."
Long worked nighttime patrol for the Yadkinville Police Department until 1998 and then served as a lieutenant officer for three years before becoming a detective in the criminal investigation department where he stayed until 2010.
He was then promoted to captain, where he's remained ever since.
"I think it's a calling," Long said. "Things were just lined up for me to go that way. It seems like everything was perfectly aligned for this to be my career. This is the only job that I can think of that I could get up everyday and enjoy coming to work. There's rarely been a day that I've come in and not wanted to be here."
Long is married to Brooke Long, his wife of 11 years. They have two daughters.
When Long isn't spending time with his family or at his job he is either fishing, beekeeping or working on his first book.
"I just started beekeeping," Long said. "My grandfather used to do it a long time ago, and I say I used to help him. But I basically just stood there and held things for him. It's just one of those things that's just dying out, and I took interest in it a couple of years ago."
Long said after a year of reading and research he finally obtained a hive from a friend who is also a beekeeper. He proudly shows off his first jar of honey that he just finished the night before.
"I guess I'm doing it to carry on the tradition," Long said. "I'm teaching my 9 year old and she's taken some interest in it."
Long is also an aspiring author and has been working on his first book for the past three years.
"My book is about old, historical crimes in the county," Long said. "I'm focusing on four major crimes that happened. The cases that I'm focusing on are the sheriff's murder in 1920, a rape from the 1950s, the Eugene Scales case and the Miles Wooten case."
Long said that the idea to start the book came to him as he was researching the history of the police department.
"I was trying to find out when it was formed. I was trying to find out who all the chiefs were, and as I was going through all the old records. I just started finding odd things," Long said. "As I was looking for one thing I would stumble upon another."
Since beginning the book Long said that he has hit several speed bumps because he is restricted to researching old court records and newspaper archives because most of the people involved in the cases are deceased.
As a life-long resident of Yadkin County, Long says that he cannot think of another place that he would rather live.
"I love Yadkin County and Yadkinville," Long said. "It's small enough to not have the big city problems, but it's big enough to where you don't have to travel to get everything you want. I've had opportunities to go other places for jobs, but I always chose to stay here."

Los Angeles Dodgers closer Kenley Jansen will likely join Team Netherlands for the Championship Round of the World Baseball Classic, according to a FOX Sports report.
Jansen told the web site there's a "95 percent" chance of that happening. He will be joined by Texas Rangers shortstop prospect Jurickson Profar for the four-team, single-elimination round.
Netherlands will face the winner of Pool 2 -- the Dominican Republic, United States or Puerto Rico -- on Monday night at San Francisco's AT&T Park.

Next question is your living arrangements, do u guys live in a studio set up apt or do u have roommates and share amenities etc. Just would love som insight into living conditions. I really dont care about the cost of things , i just want to know how comfortable Ill be in my day to day living and comfort level. Thanks . (Ps it hasnt sunk in yet, so im still in calm, collective getting necessary ish organised mode) when that is done , then celebrations WILL begin.

I was wondering the same thing. So seeing that I'm the only one so far, and an alternate to boot, I don't know if I should feel hopeful.
Lexxxi wrote:Oh yea. U said u left from Miami. But i know its like 2 stops. So after miami, what other stop was made? Im just tryna get an idea of the haul of the trip to Narita.

Nako wrote:Ok, So I read someone's post that alternates get through because some people can't come up with the money, before that I wasn't really stressing over the money thing, that just changed. From a current or past JET, I'm just trying to get an idea of the amount you'll use getting set up from Trini, and then how much you'll need average when you get over. I know ESID, because I've read it a million times, but all the other threads only really speak about financial preparation in terms of US and I kinda wanted a more local perspective...I'll take bajan too, lol. Also, if anyone has suggestions on money transfer arrangements for paying back student loans while over in Japan.

Written by PETA
Somewhere between the golden cartoon age of Bugs Bunny and the pop-centric youth culture of Hannah Montana, a few television networks thought it would be a grand idea to start airing fishing and hunting shows on Saturday mornings—during that crucial time slot when impressionable children in pajamas slurp soymilk from bowls of cereal and stare wide-eyed at the tube.
Teaching kids that cruelty to animals is acceptable can have a long-lasting and deadly effect. Remember "Son of Sam," Jeffrey Dahmer, and the "Boston Strangler"? These individuals, like most serial killers, each had a history of abusing and killing animals. So, we've sent several network TV stations a letter requesting that they remove hunting and fishing programs from their Saturday morning line-ups, on the basis that those programs glorify violence toward animals and should certainly not be airing at a time when children could stumble upon them.
To paraphrase good ol' Bugs, "What's up with that, Doc?"

The noisemakers and hats are all put away but on Martin Luther King Day, America will launch a New Year of Service. By serving together, we can extend Dr. King's legacy of doing for others and build a brighter future for all.
To honor the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.,, President Obama is asking all Americans to participate in a National Day of Service on Jan. 19th.. We are asking you to join the thousands of other Americans who will pledge to serve as part of this national campaign. Make a sign that says "i serve the planet" that shows us how or why you serve the planet (bonus points if you include the SCA logo). Share it on Twitter or Instagram with hashtags #iServe and #SCAplanet, and we'll post our favorites here and on Facebook. On Tuesday, Jan. 22nd, we'll pick one truly inspiring image and award the photographer with an SCA hiking pack filled with SCA gear. Read the full contest rules.
As you consider what form your service will take, we hope you will join SCA on MLK weekend at parks in Washington, DC, the Bay Area, Pittsburgh, and other locations, or volunteer at one of the many additional service projects scheduled across the nation. If you have an event you want to share with the broader SCA community, please post it directly on jointhesca.org events section.
Forty-five years ago, Dr. King remarked "all labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence." In just a few days, we can honor his words, his deeds and his life.
Giving back moves us forward as a people and as a country. So, if you're still looking for a New Year's resolution or if you've already ditched the one you made earlier, resolve right now to serve on Martin Luther King Day. And, then tell us why you serve the planet... Maybe you'll inspire the world to serve along with you!

Boxer Brief Bandit & Windshield Destroyer: Best of the Blotter
Here are some of the most bizarre police reports from departments across the region
Here are this week's weirdest police calls, reports and charges. All information was provided by police reports from departments in Patch communities. Where arrests or charges are mentioned, it does not indicate a conviction.
Eventful day in the Falls — Cuyahoga Falls Police responded to two bizarre calls on July 12.
First, a Discount Drug Mart security guard saw a man place several items in his bag and walk out of the store. The guard stopped him and found that the man tried to take undershirts, boxer briefs, socks and several groceries. Police cited him for theft.
That night, a woman told police she saw a man masturbating in the PetSmart parking lot. She got his license plate number, but he had driven off by the time police arrived.
Arrested with an argument — A Bedford Heights man voiced his opinion loud and clear July 15 before and after and officer took him to the Brecksville Police station.
The officer saw the man driving 20 miles per hour over the speed limit at 2:37 a.m. on Interstate 77. The man lit a cigarette after the officer instructed him not to. He argued over his speed and told police he did not care what they had to say once he arrived at the station.
His charges included operating a vehicle under the influence, test refusal, speeding and driving in marked lanes. He was also charged with possession of marijuana for two bags found in his car.
Decorative destruction — An Akron woman used an assortment of garden decorations for a purpose that had nothing to do with plants or veggies.
Stow Police said she used the decorations to damage the windshields of two vehicles on July 11 while they were parked in the driveway of a home on Crown Point Drive. She caused nearly $500 in damage between the vehicles and the decorations. The woman had an active warrant out for her arrest and had been suspected of drinking, police said.
Make-up bandit — A woman told Strongsville Police that somebody broke into her apartment on July 13 or 14, but not to steal any of her expensive belongings.
Instead, the intruder went for her make-up. She told police it had clearly been used when she returned. She had a previous break-in, so officers gave her a few tips to prevent such occurrences in the future.

See it. Play it. Now.
Centralized playout control.
Centralized Playout Control
In today's fast-paced broadcast environment simplified playout operation is critical. iSQ, Chyron's Intelligent Sequencer, allows a single user - when connected to a CAMIO server - to control multiple Lyric® playout or XClyps channels from a single work surface. As a single point of control, iSQ's flexible architecture enables the consolidation of multiple independent channels represented as individual playlists.
iSQ's Intuitive Interface
Chyron understands that every control environment is different. The iSQ playlists are user-definable. Customize iSQ to show only the information you need to see in a clear, concise form. Viewing thumbnail images of all the messages in the playlist are configurable, as are screen layouts showing preview and program outputs or just the preview output at the top of each playlist.
Stories are easily identified with user-selected alternating colors - enabling the user to see at a glance how many objects are left in a story. Specialized production skills are not required to use iSQ.
Intelligent Playlist Positioning™ automatically corrects the playlist and cues the appropriate graphics during rundown changes preventing on-air mistakes.
Control and Flexibility at Your Fingertips
Included with iSQ is the Cueboard, a dedicated keyboard (USB or PS/2) you can use for the most common iSQ functions supporting up to four channels of graphics output. Add an additional Cueboard to allow control of up to eight channels of graphics output from a single work surface.
Dedicated buttons are clearly labeled and logically positioned to allow for rapid on-air use. The Cueboard also includes unused keys, which can be easily programmed by you to provide functions unique to your workflow.
Key Features
Control multiple Chyron Lyric or XClyps channels simultaneously from a single interface. Multiple rundowns can be loaded simultaneously, so that back-to-back shows can be monitored and executed within the current rundown. |
Chyron's customizable CueBoard puts immediate control of any graphic in any playlist at your fingertips. iSQ's Deficient Asset Indicator clearly indicates if any assets are missing prior to going to air. |

Series: Excerpts from "Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design"
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.

Series: Ephesians 4:1-6: A Call of Christian Unity
This series discusses the importance of unity among Christ's believers. Ross Hastings, an expert in the areas of both chemistry and pastoral theology, is eager to see the church seek out unity rather than divisions in this science/faith interface. Unpacking Ephesians 4:1-6, he explains that unity in Christ through the Holy Spirit is the primary concern of both Jesus as seen in John 17 and Paul in Ephesians 4, making this matter pressing. He urges all believers to be in agreement that God indeed created, yet to be in dialogue over how that creative process occurred.
A Plea to My Shepherds
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
Evangelicalism and Adaptation
I look my students dead straight in the eye and tell them that no matter what, debate within the intellectual sphere cannot and should not take away or diminish the importance of the personal nature of their faith. The intellect, to use a scientific phrase, while necessary for the faith, is not sufficient
Evolution and Christian Faith Grantees Announced
Congratulations to the 37 winners of the Evolution & Christian Faith (ECF) grants competition! ECF is a new BioLogos program designed to support projects and network-building among scholars, church leaders, and parachurch organizations.
Evolution, the Enlightenment, and Worldviews
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Can Science Ever Know Enough?
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
Gracious Dialogue
Our desire to engage in gracious dialogue with fellow believers who reject biological evolution has been receiving increased attention in both the Christian and secular press. More importantly, we are being joined in this reconciling project by our brothers and sisters in Christ who have often been defined primarily as our "opponents".
Are You There God? It's Us, Scientists (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about religious belief among scientists. The graphic uses data from the Pew Research Center, Rice University, and quotations from scientists assembled in a recent Huffington Post article.
What is Scientism?
Scientism is a rather strange word, but for reasons that we shall see, a useful one. Though this term has been coined rather recently, it is associated with many other "isms" with long and turbulent histories: materialism, naturalism, reductionism, empiricism, and positivism.
Series: Thinking Aloud Together
This series by Scot McKnight relates a lecture given at the 2012 BioLogos workshop for Evangelical theologians, scientists, authors and pastors. He explains that evolution is taught in public schools, and therefore must be addressed by Evangelical pastors in the churches as well. This will educate a whole generation of upcoming scientists on the issues of science and faith. Overall, he encourages scientists and pastors to collaborate on the issue as they rethink the long held interpretations of Genesis 1-3.
Jefferson's Bible and the Tears of Christ
Predictably, "Jesus Wept" did not make into the Jefferson Bible. John 11 was cut out entirely, falling onto the floor of his Monticello home and discarded, along with Martha's confession.
Series: What Scientists Do
Steve Benner, a Distinguished Fellow of The Foundation for Applied Molecular Evolution in Gainesville, Fla., looks at what the role of a scientist should be. Benner looks specifically at "falsifiability", the acceptance of uncertainty, and the place of the scientist in public discourse.
Six Reasons Young Christians Leave Church
A five-year project headed by the Barna Group explores the opportunities and challenges of faith development among teens and young adults within a rapidly shifting culture.
Series: Reviewing "Why Evolution is True"
In this three part series, Robert C. Bishop provides a helpful review for Evangelicals of the book Why Evolution is True by Jerry Coyne. He first debunks many outdated ideas and myths about the theory of evolution and its implications. He then goes on to critique Coyne's conclusions about God as a "bad designer." He further addresses how Christianity and science overlap as well as how to have a meaningful discussion between two individuals with radically different views.
Engaging Today's Militant Atheist Arguments
In this paper, MIT professor Ian Hutchinson addresses the question of how to engage arguments put forward by the New Atheists. In doing so, he offers a critique of scientism, the assumption that scientific knowledge is all the real knowledge there is.
Series: Francis Collins and Karl Giberson Interview
In this six part series, Karl Giberson discusses evolution with BioLogos founder Francis Collins as it relates to the scientific community and the church. Their conversation addresses Collins' scientific perspectives, his Christian faith, and the abundant evidence for evolution. Throughout, the two critique various unscientific approaches to evolution such as Young Earth Creationism and Intelligent Design. Overall, they both express the deep need for the Church in America to accept evolution as a valuable, true theory as well as to cultivate a richer understanding of the Bible among the people.
Series: Hutchinson on Atheism
Ian Hutchinson draws a sharp line between science and scientism. Scientism holds that all truth emerges from scientific study and explanation. Hutchinson, however, disagrees as he points to science's inability to establish truth about, for example, the events that have occurred in humanity's history on earth. He specifically engages Richard Dawkins assertions (from the book The God Delusion) that God is a scientific hypothesis that has been essentially disproved by science and that evolution explains religion as nothing more than a natural phenomenon.
Series: Addressing Christian Concerns about the Implications of BioLogos' Science
In this series, Ard Louis addresses concerns that Christians may have about the BioLogos view that stem from specific misconceptions. Among these are misunderstandings about the nature of science, God's action in the universe, and natural theology. In addition, there is unwarranted mistrust towards the academic world. Finally, he encourages the BioLogos team to carefully confront "the ways we in the church have all been shaped by the spirit of the age" and to patiently listen and speak about these issues.
The Weapon of Science, the Sword of the Spirit, and a Call to Prayer, Part 2
As a pastor, I find it particularly troubling when Christians use science as a weapon against other brothers and sisters in Faith that believe differently than they do.

I wanted to make something healthy, convenient and easy. I also wanted to make something with oats. It was time to roll up my sleeves, grab ingredients from the pantry and experiment.
After adding a little here, a touch there,...voila! I finally got the results I was looking for, using simple wholesome ingredients found in my pantry.
This healthy snack could not be any easier to make. The recipe requires no baking; simply measure, mix, roll and chill. The mixture may seem a little dry at first, but as you continue to mix it comes together (or add a little more honey or peanut butter to moisten the mixture to a consistency that works for you). Rolling the balls in a coating as optional. It makes the balls a little less sticky on the fingers, and also is a fun way to vary the flavors, but it is not necessary.
Healthy Peanut Butter Balls are a healthy and delicious snack, or even a quick breakfast on-the-go, featuring one of my favorite foods of all time...peanut butter!
Healthy Peanut Butter Balls
Yields 16-18 balls
1 cup peanut butter, natural is preferred (chunky or creamy)
2 tablespoons honey (or agave nectar)
1 cup rolled oats
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed or wheat germ
2 tablespoons sweetened flaked coconut
cocoa powder, wheat germ, powdered sugar, chopped peanuts, (optional) - for coating
- Heat peanut butter and honey in the microwave until easily mixed, about 15-20 seconds. Stir until blended.
- In a separate bowl, mix oats, flaxseed and coconut (if using) until combined.
- Add peanut butter mixture to oat mixture and stir until incorporated. (Mixture may seem a little dry at first...just keep mixing).
- Form a rounded tablespoonful of the combined mixture into a ball and place on a plate. Repeat until all mixture is used. Now, if you do not want to coat the balls, skip to step 6.
- Roll each ball in whatever coating suits your preference. Cocoa powder, powdered sugar, wheat germ, cinnamon sugar and chopped peanuts are some ideas.
- Chill the plate of balls in the refrigerator to set for at least an hour, or overnight.
