BOSTON — With Mariano Rivera, the greatest closer in baseball history, in town this weekend, it's a perfect time to reflect on the importance of the closer job and who could become the next long term answer in that spot for the Boston Red Sox.
The closer role shouldn't be underestimated. It certainly shouldn't be among Red Sox fans, who have seen bust after bust pitch in that situation since Jonathan Papelbon left town following 2011.
"Having such a solid pitcher at the back of your bullpen makes all the difference," Yankees shutdown setup man David Robertson said when discussing Rivera's greatness. "You have someone that 90 percent of the time is going to lock the game down, you definitely want that guy on your team."
Since Papelbon's departure to the Phillies via free agency and even before he left, the Red Sox have tried tirelessly to find his heir apparent. Bobby Jenks, Andrew Bailey, Alfredo Aceves, Mark Melancon and Joel Hanrahan have all failed.
The Red Sox won't find the next Rivera, who consistently has done the job well for 16 of the past 17 years with the only exception being last year when he tore his ACL. The Sandman is one of a kind. He has an all-time major league record 638 saves (entering yesterday) and has converted 91 percent of his saves (423 of 464) since the beginning of 2002.
The object for Boston GM Ben Cherington is to find someone who can covert approximately 90 percent of saves over a five-or-six year period.
"The kind of mentality they need to have is a short memory," Rivera said. "They have to learn with the adversity because you're going to fail. You're going to fail as a closer, as a hitter, as a starter, as a reliever. It's how you respond; how you regroup yourself right after you fail.

Webgame Wednesday: One Man and His Dinosaur
So, you've hired a Tyrannosaurus Rex to act as a sheepdog. You're not too smart, are you? Lucky for you, you've got a pretty good thunder lizard on your side in One Man and His Dinosaur. All you've got to do is guide the dinosaur with your mouse as he runs across the screen. Keep the sheep flock together. Don't let them get eaten by badgers and the like. And avoid all those pesky World War II bombs littering the playing field. (Where the hell does this game take place anyway?)

Welcome! Ahlan wa Sahlan!
Ahlan wa Sahlan wa MarHaban bi-kum to the official website for the Center for Arabic Study Abroad (CASA).
CASA offers advanced level training in Arabic language and culture to qualified American students at The American University in Cairo and Qasid Arabic Institute in Amman. Applicants to the various CASA programs must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and with a minimum of 3 years of formal instruction in Arabic prior to joining CASA. Our website provides detailed information regarding the various aspects of the CASA programs. We welcome you to visit the site and learn more about the exciting programs CASA offers. If you have questions after reviewing the site, please contact the CASA administrative office located at the University of Texas at Austin.
Ahlan wa Sahlanand we look forward to welcoming you to CASA very soon inshaa'allaah!
Due to the recent political events in Egypt, the current CASA I & II programs have been suspended and temporarily relocated to the Qasid Institute in Amman, Jordan for the 2013-14 fall and spring semesters.
CASA evacuated the 2013-14 fellows studying in Cairo due to the current travel warnings issued by the U.S. State Department in late June 2013. After the evacuation, fellows participated in online courses coordinated by the American University in Cairo to complete the 2013 summer semester.
Our goal is to return to The American University in Cairo for the CASA I & II programs for the 2014-15 academic year; however, this will depend on the travel and security warnings issued for this region. CASA will continue to monitor events in Egypt and ensure that all fellows, prospective applicants and CASA partners are kept informed of our plans for the upcoming application year.
For now we encourage all people interested in the 2014-2015 CASA I Full Year program, to apply. We expect to confirm the program location by the time our 2014 Selection Committee convenes in early March 2014. Please refer to the Forms page of this website for the new CASA I application details. Please note that the 2014-2015 CASA II program will be suspended due to funding and we hope to resume this program for 2015-2016.
Thank you for your continued support and please contact our office with further questions or concerns.

TORONTO -- Jimy Hettes can no longer claim an unbeaten record, but he defended his run at perfection to the final bell against Marcus Brimage at UFC 152.
Brimage, the former Ultimate Fighter season 14 contestant, showed vast improvement in his striking skill, battering Hettes with a stinging left hand en route to a unanimous decision win.
The judges scored it 29-28, 29-28, 29-28 for the southpaw.

The first two rounds were split. Brimage showed a diverse striking game in the opening frame, letting his hands go and routinely finding Hettes' chin throughout the duration of the five minutes. But Hettes turned the tide in the second, wobbling Brimage with a flying knee and then hunting the submission for an extended period.
Both men, however, were able to defend themselves when their adversary went for a finish.
It was Brimage's left hand and his ability to defend the takedown that likely won him the fight in the third. Hettes could never seem to stop him from landing the straight left, and it repeatedly found its home over the last five minutes. Hettes tried a pair of late takedowns, but Brimage easily fended him off to take the pivotal final round.
Brimage improved to 6-1 with his third straight octagon victory while Hettes' first career loss dropped him to 10-1.

Commission report lays out mental health strategy for Queen's
After a year-long process based on wide-ranging input from the university and broader communities, the Principal's Commission on Mental Health has released its final report.
"The report makes more than 100 recommendations within a framework for a university mental health strategy," says commission chair David Walker. "The commissioners would like to thank the students, faculty, staff, parents, alumni, mental health professionals and community members who generously gave their time to provide valuable insight that is reflected in our report."
The commission has developed a four-level pyramidal framework that includes 116 recommendations for promoting a healthy community, easing transitions and fostering resilience, encouraging help-seeking and helping behavior and providing effective response, service and care. Some will take significant time to achieve; others are already in progress or in place. The Office of the Provost will provide leadership for further implementation of the report's recommendations.
"I am tremendously pleased with the report the commission has submitted," says Queen's Principal Daniel Woolf. "Many of the recommendations are things we have already begun work on, while others give us a positive direction for the future. I want to thank the commission members for all of their hard work in carrying out this significant and important task as well as those who spoke or wrote to the commission about their experiences and ideas."
The commission was established by Dr. Woolf in September 2011 to assist the university in its ongoing efforts to be a proactive and responsive community that promotes every student's success from the day they arrive through to graduation.
Also on the commission were Roy Jahchan, MPA '11 / Law '13, Lynann Clapham, Associate Dean (Academic), Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, Ann Tierney, Vice-Provost and Dean of Student Affairs and Jennifer Medves, Vice-Dean, Faculty of Health Sciences and Director of the School of Nursing.

From Wire and Staff Reports
The Salem News
---- — BOSTON — The Massachusetts School Building Authority has spent $10 billion and nearly retired the financial obligations of its predecessor since its inception in 2004, but there is no dearth of projects still awaiting funding, state Treasurer Steven Grossman said.
"We've cleared the bulk of the more than $10 billion of old waiting-list projects. These were projects that have been in the pipeline for a long time," Grossman told reporters after a celebration of the school construction funding.
"But we had 201 statements of interest submitted this year from school districts all over the commonwealth," he added. "We'll only be able to fund a fraction of those, because we have a statutory limit of about half a billion dollars a year that we can put into new projects, so there's a huge, pent-up demand."
In a ceremony in the State House, Rep. John Rogers, D-Norwood, was singled out for his work in crafting legislation that reorganized what many saw as runaway spending on a school building assistance program within the Department of Education. Rep. Frank Hynes, a Marshfield Democrat, said that at the time, the state was spending $440 million per year on the financing.
The reform was supported by former Treasurer Tim Cahill, who left office after losing an independent gubernatorial bid to Gov. Deval Patrick in 2010, and was signed into law by former Gov. Mitt Romney.
According to the MSBA, the program has saved cities and towns $2.9 billion in avoided local interest costs and has nearly completed the $5.1 billion in debt payments and $5.4 billion in "wait-list projects" approved by the Department of Education under the old system.
"Of the $10.5 (billion), we have retired $9.3 billion of that debt. It was very overwhelming that we were able to get that done, and of the projects that we inherited, 98 percent of those are done and audited," said MSBA Executive Director Jack McCarthy.
The new system shuttles one penny of the 6.25 percent sales tax to the MSBA, whose board, run by the state treasurer, decides whether and at what fixed amount the state will fund school projects.
"I've never seen a piece of legislation that really benefitted the taxpayers as much as this," McCarthy said.
Among the projects currently in the MSBA pipeline is Gloucester's estimated $30 million project for a new West Parish School. The MSBA board has given approval to city and school officials for its design plan — which calls for a three-story, kindergarten to grade-5 facility that will house 18 classrooms for West Parish's 360 students. And according to the MSBA formula, the city would receive reimbursement of 48 percent of the project's cost.
The Manchester Essex Regional School District, meanwhile, is also looking toward a project to upgrade its Memorial and Essex elementary schools, though the district has not yet applied to the MSBA and has not decided whether a project might entail building a new, single elementary school at an undefined site near the towns' boundaries, or renovating each of the current schools — the choice of residents who took part in a recent online survey.
On the state level, officials have recently highlighted capital improvement needs in the courts and water systems, as well as transportation, which benefitted from a tax law passed this summer. Grossman said that while those needs are important, he sees no end to the need for school improvements.
"For the foreseeable future, the one penny on the sales tax going toward school construction, new schools, renovated schools, new roofs, boilers and windows is absolutely critical," said Grossman, who added that some of the schools that are struggling most academically have great architectural needs, as well.
He said, "I've been in schools in the last month, which were built in the early 20th century, that are in frightful condition."
Senate leaders have proposed funding new water infrastructure improvements, in part, by allowing the state to borrow up to $50 million more per year for local projects.

10 Bad Gift Ideas for Christmas 2010
December 2, 2010 | Posted By: Sari Holtz | Categorized in: Shopping, Gift Ideas
Once again, the holiday season is approaching, and since were nearing the end of 2010, it seems only appropriate to discuss the 10 worst gifts of the year. After all, its hard to suggest the best gift ideas for people you dont know, but I can tell you with certainty what gifts will ensure that youll be mocked, ridiculed or cursed behind your back. Or, worse giving these gifts will likely ensure that you get equally horrific gifts next year.
Personalized socks. As someone who always loses socks, I theoretically wouldnt mind receiving socks as a holiday gift. But seriously - what is the point of getting someone socks that will be covered up by pants, shoes or boots? Personalized socks may seem like such a great gift, but when you realize that very few people will ever see them, you should ask yourself if you really want to be the person who gives such a useless gift. Im guessing the answer to that question is no.
A tie. I know ties are another classic gift for men that are difficult to buy gifts for, but really? What good could possibly come out of giving a tie? Youre either telling the recipient that his current wardrobe is hideous, or your gift may be subconsciously suggesting that the recipient use the tie for unintended purposes, none of which are particularly appealing.
A Potty Putter. As its name suggests, this ingenious gift provides a putting green that can be used while the recipient is sitting on the toilet. The accompanying Do Not Disturb door hanger seems extraneous clearly the person using the Potty Putter is already disturbed enough.
An expensive keychain. Ive received some pretty expensive keychains in my life, and I must admit that the reason that people keep giving me keychains is probably because I keep losing them. Ill go out on a limb and say that giving anyone a keychain is like giving them a free ticket to the loony bin. Every time the recipient embarks on a wild goose chase for his keys, hell be cursing the day you gave him that gift (even though you didnt lose the keys, of course). And if the keys are lost permanently, hell just bemoan the fact that not only did he lose his keys, he also lost a costly gift.
Anything marked As seen on TV. Lets just say that the reason its been seen on TV is because its not popular enough to sell it in a serious store. And that should be enough of a reason to choose something else.
Workout videos. What good can possibly come from hinting to the recipient that he or she could use a workout? It doesnt matter that youre trying to save a loved one the money of an expensive gym membership chances are good that youll be scarring their psyche permanently.
Designer fragrances. Theres no question that designer fragrances can be expensive, but do you really want to send the message that the recipient smells? And because different fragrances smell different depending on the wearers skin chemistry, theres no real way for you to know that the fragrance you choose will work well for the recipient (or that the recipient will even like the smell), so you may end up paying top dollar for a useless gift. By the way, knockoff fragrances are an even tackier gift - in case you were curious.
A cookbook. Are you trying to score an invite for a free dinner to defray the cost of your gift? Are you trying to hint that the recipient cant cook? If the recipient loves cooking, he or she probably has enough inspiration for meals. And if he doesnt, giving a cookbook can be a recipe for disaster.
Gourmet chocolates. Dont be confused by the Godiva holiday ads the last thing anyone needs after a holiday filled with food is another 5,000 calories. It doesnt matter if the recipient is skinnier than Kate Moss, chocolate is wasted Christmas gift. Its not specifically useful during the holiday season when food is abundant, and it kills your ability to use it again during Valentines Day, when youll once again be looking for a gift.
Lottery tickets. If you purchase scratch off lottery tickets, the chance of your gift being a good one is about one in 35. If you purchase Powerball lottery tickets, the chance of your gift being good is about one in 80 thousand. Enough said.
Guest Contributor Sari Holtz is a blogger for Billy.com, an online savings website that provides savings on everything from moving companies to milk. She is also the recipient of several of the gifts on this list.

The United States and Panama play a rematch in the Gold Cup semifinals tonight, and you can watch the game in English in just about any place English is spoken! Except the United Kingdom, or so it seems. It doesn't look like anyone has the TV rights there. Oh well, America, Canada, and Australia are all in luck. If you're an American that prefers to watch your footy in Spanish, you have options too. Lucky you! Here's all that good information you're looking for on USA vs. Panama.
USA vs. Panama
Time: 7:00 pm ET, 6:00 pm local
Venue: Reliant Stadium; Houston, Texas, USA
Television: Fox Soccer Channel (USA, English), Univision (USA, Spanish), Setanta Sports (Australia, Canada)
The winner of this game gets a date in Saturday's Gold Cup final against the winner of the second semifinal between Mexico and Honduras. Landon Donovan, who was not ready to go 90 minutes in the quarterfinals, will likely start for the US, while Blas Perez is out suspended for Panama. Advantage USMNT?

Reexamine your past relationships and reflect on what worked and what did and didn't work. By knowing what you don't want, you're better able to determine what you now need. But, most importantly, hold yourself to a standard for your perfect partner and stick to it. You deserve the best, Taurus, so make sure you get just that.
You have a great deal of raw energy, and powerful ideas are building up inside of you. You need to share this before you explode! Today, Mercury moves into Libra, and you'll find it easy to communicate your creative thoughts to others. Brainstorm, ask for feedback, and don't be afraid to explore some new ways of thinking. Express yourself, and you may also find that you make some new friends in the process.
Mercury moves into Libra today, signaling a time for action. You have the outer resources and the inner strength. Now it's time to put it all together and get what you want. Think of yourself as a carpenter with all of the necessary tools. Now make the house of your dreams. Be assertive, be bold, and most importantly, have a blast!
As Mercury moves into Libra, this is a powerful time get in touch with your emotions and heal whatever is hurting. Let go of worrying about what others might think and share from your heart, Leo. Someone close to you is more than willing to listen. Is there something you've been wanting to get off of your chest? Several things? Now is the perfect time to put your cards on the table. Prepare for intense—but necessary—introspection.
Life is starting to deal some good cards to you, dear Virgo. It's time to play them right. As Mercury moves into Libra today, take charge of your finances and personal possessions. Like the famous scales of Libra, you must strive for balance in all of your business transactions. Take what you need and discard what has already served its purpose. It's time to build a strong financial foundation for yourself.
Mercury moves into your sign today, Libra; it's time to put that extra luck where it is most needed. Mercury is the planet of communication, so have a nice long talk with yourself—and others if need be—about what you want out of life. If you push hard for self-improvement during the next month, the universe will provide the extra support you need to get you over the hurtle of uncertainty. This is your time to thrive.
As Mercury moves into Libra today, you'll start to discover some of the areas of your life where you're not feeling as strong as you would like. Vulnerability (though it's not your favorite feeling!) is not a bad thing. The star sign of Libra asks that you not lean too heavily on anything outside of yourself at this time, whether other people or old habits. Be independent and answer to no one but yourself!
As Mercury moves into Libra today, you'll be regarded as a pillar of strength, Sag. That's fine by you because you have your head in the game and you're focused on what's important. People close to you see and admire your success and ask you for some pointers. Give the guidance that others need; you are ready for the challenge.
As Mercury moves into Libra, you will become like Lady Justice, boldly holding the scales in front of you for the world to see! You are coming from a strong place and not working from any agendas that are fueled by insecurity. Prepare for mediation, agreements, and negotiations now. You have a balanced perspective, and others seek your guidance.
As Mercury moves into Libra today, you're going to experience what you love most: good times with your best friends. This is a time of celebration and revelry, Aquarius. Your future is looking so bright, as are those of the ones closest to you. Pop open the champagne and celebrate and enjoy the success you so richly deserve.
As Mercury (the planet of the mind) moves into Libra today, prepare for the hidden to surface. Mercury is delving into the depths of your solar Eighth House—part of your horoscope that rules your subconscious mind—and who knows what he will find in the mysterious corners of your psyche. All you need to do is recognize what comes up. If it's something you no longer need, know that you will be able to release it in due time. That process can be painful, but the reward of an improved self is worth all of the trouble.

Oracle on Tuesday showed JavaFX rich client software running on both an Apple iPad and a Google Android-based Samsung Galaxy tablet, along with introducing a separate project using HTML5 to bring Java to Apple's iOS platform, called Project Avatar.
The company at the JavaOne conference in San Francisco also cited intentions to converge its Java ME (Micro Edition) platform, which puts Java on mobile devices, with Java SE (Standard Edition). Oracle also said it was delaying until 2013 the release of Java SE 8; it had been due next year.
[ Sun Microsystems in 2008 tried to get Java on iOS devices. | For more on Java, subscribe to InfoWorld's Enterprise Java newsletter. ]
Java has been barred from Apple's iOS devices, thanks to Apple's official policy not allowing third-party technologies, such as Flash Player or Java, on the units. But a brief demonstration showed a JavaFX game running on an iPad. This effort effectively puts Java on iOS but is still in a developmental mode. "We want to hear from the community. If this is something you want to see, we're happy to make it a priority," said Nandini Ramani, vice president of development in the Oracle Fusion Middleware Group. The Samsung Android device ran the demo as well, although Oracle referred to the device as a "Linux" unit without mentioning Android. Oracle is suing Google over Android, alleging patent violations.
JavaFX will be offered via open source, including the framework and components. Oracle's direction for JavaFX pleased analyst Al Hilwa, of IDC. "Overall I like what I am seeing in the way JavaFX is moving. Turning it into a framework to be used from within Java is definitely a better approach. I like open sourcing it. I would love to see it bring Java back into a tool for cross-platform mobile development."
A JavaOne attendee lauded Oracle's plans for JavaFX on iOS. "It's a huge market," for JavaFX applications, said Daryl Gerlach, Websphere portal architect at Phoenix Contact, which makes industrial electrical components.
With Project Avatar, the company is proposing a solution for dynamic rich clients, featuring HTML5 on the browser, Java applications, and Java EE (Enterprise Edition) in the cloud. Avatar is intended to improve interoperability between HTML5 and Java to simplify the development of rich client/server interaction for cloud-based applications, Oracle said. In demonstrating Avatar, Oracle officials leveraged an Apple iPod.
Avatar can forge a hybrid combination in which the UI is written via HTML5 and the model and controller are built in Java, enabling an application that looks like any other iOS application. "The basic idea is that you have a Java and an HTML5 hybrid app which can run on mobile devices," said Adam Messinger, Oracle vice president of development for Fusion Middleware. Avatar unites Java ME, SE, and EE, Messinger explained. The Java Virtual Machine is linked to the program, enabling compliance with Apple rules, according to Messinger.

Join in running commentary as WVU takes to the road to face Missouri tonight.
We talked to the folks over at Rock M Nation to get a preview of the Tigers for tonight's game.
I got Mr. Ed, the talking TV horse, mixed up with Francis the Talking Mule from the movies, he later said. I meant to say `mule,' because a mule is not a thoroughbred. A jackass is a thoroughbred, but a mule is a cross, I think, between a jackass and a horse. I think a mule is worse than a jackass.Billy Tubbs calls Norm Stewart a mule, denounces cross-breeding, as quoted in Vahe Gregorian's OU-MU game writeup. Those were the days indeed.
Congratulations To Coach Bob Huggins For 700 Coaching Victories!!
With all the wrap-up stuff about basketball going on recently, it struck me at how highly regarded Norm Stewart is. I'm not from Missouri -- Texas born, Texas bred as most of you know -- so I didn't really understand the allure. On the other hand, I went to Missouri during the Quin Snyder era, and always thought of him as being a fine coach. Admittedly, I'm a Quin Snyder apologist, but I just always thought he was a pretty decent guy who made a couple bad decisions. So I finally did something that I've wanted to do for a while: compare Stewart and Snyder side by side. My opinion's probably not going to be popular, but I think you can see by the chart that the result is both clear and a bit shocking. Click here to get a better view of the chart.

75% of this land is zoned to allow development to the density of the former Hyatt Rickey's site on El Camino or the former Lucky's site on Alma. Such development would provide the developers much more return on investment, and give the neighborhood the traffic they say they oppose. Yet they continue to argue this matter to the point that all of us are now paying for a special election, which if they win will give all of us a less happy solution.

It's a bad idea to body pierce yourself or friends, and it's apparently gotten out of hand at a Las Vegas high school.
Spring Valley High School administrators said several students have pierced one another on school property. It came to their attention when a parent notified them, saying his or her child developed an infection.
"It was not done in a hygienic manner. It was done with sharing needles – multiple students using the same needle, and that's a health concern and a student safety concern for us," Clark County School District Communications Manager Michael Rodriquez said.
On Wednesday, Spring Valley's principal sent a letter to parents warning them of the trend.
The school district said seven or eight male and female students pierced each other on and off campus, the on-campus piercings taking place in a locker room.
"We found the piercings ran the gamut, really. Some of them were ear piercings, some of them were naval piercings, and there were piercings on other parts of the body as well, including nipple piercings," Rodriquez said.
"A lot of people don't really put a lot of thought into how much bacteria can actually get into the piercing if it's not done properly," said Alfredo Padilla with Chrome Gypsy Tattoo. "Plenty of things can happen. Just a simple infection can turn into something huge."
Those huge problems Padilla spoke of include hepatitis B and C as well as HIV.
"You never know what is out there, so the best thing to do is stay as safe as possible, get everything done professionally, and make sure to do your research," Padilla said.
The school is speaking with the students involved and reviewing security cameras. Those students could face disciplinary action, including suspension or even expulsion.

Location Specific Alarm Relay
Rutgers University-New BrunswickResidential fires kill and injure thousands of Americans and cause billions of dollars in property damage each year. More than 428,000 home fires occurred in 1996, which resulted in a residential fire every 74 seconds, according to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA). By the mid 1980s, laws that required alarms in all new and existing residences existed in 38 states and thousands of municipalities. Systems wired throughout the house are expensive to install and provide only a general alert, while standard smoke alarms are not interconnected. This E-Team's Location Specific Alarm Relay (LSAR) system is designed to be installed in individual rooms, but has the ability to transmit data and can relate the location of smoke in the event of a fire. For example, the existence of smoke in the basement will be relayed to the second floor bedroom through a combined horn and voice alarm

Presentations are one of the most underrated ways to project content and thought leadership about a particular topic.
Though longer in length, a presentation has the ability to deliver information in summaried, visual elements that give the reader a chance to learn about a topic quickly and with a takeaway. One such platform that allows for the sharing, downloading, and social engagement of presentations is Slideshare. The presentation company, acquired by professional networking company LinkedIn in May 2012 allows users to upload presentations in PowerPoint, PDF, Keynote, or OpenDocument.
A SlideShare presentation when created well can generate a tremendous amount of traffic. Check out these 4 tips for maximizing a SlideShare Presentation....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
SlideShare is an important foundation for thought leadership and content marketing alike.
From www
...Zynga was trying to be clever, but its strategists learned two things the hard way. One is that people will quickly get sick of a repetitive and formulaic call to action. The other is that it's not wise to rely exclusively on a third-party platform -- especially a free one -- as a channel to market.
And now BuzzFeed is learning this lesson the hard way, along with similar sites like Upworthy and ViralNova. These companies, as my MediaPost colleague Jamie Tedford reported earlier this week, are about to penalized by changes to Facebook's algorithm. Facebook is aiming to "weed out stories that people frequently tell us are spammy and that they don't want to see," by reducing "click-baiting headlines."
" 'Click-baiting'," said Facebook's blog post, "is when a publisher posts a link with a headline that encourages people to click to see more, without telling them much information about what they will see. Posts like these tend to get a lot of clicks, which means that these posts get shown to more people, and get shown higher up in News Feed. However, when we asked people in an initial survey what type of content they preferred to see in their News Feeds, 80% of the time people preferred headlines that helped them decide if they wanted to read the full article before they had to click through."
Of course they do. People will quickly get sick of a repetitive and formulaic call to action. And it's unwise to rely exclusively on a third-party platform -- especially a free one -- as a channel to market....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Kaila Colbin says "clever" is not a long-term strategy for online advertising success.
...But having more of a social media presence is always a good thing. Keep in mind that with some platforms (such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Tumblr) you can use free social media management tools like Buffer or Hootsuite that post to multiple social channels simultaneously, and that makes managing your social presence significantly easier.
Your go-to strategy here is test, evaluate, evolve. In a midsized business you're working to be effective within budget. No worries. Start with two that seem the most active among your prospects and current clients. Test them out, and if one or both don't gain traction, then evaluate which platform you should test out next. Rinse and repeat....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
The Internet is a big place. Sreve Farnsworth shows how midsized marketing organizations just ramping up their content marketing can pick the right social media platform to help maximize distribution.
Want to get noticed on Twitter? Use hashtags! Using the right hashtag(s) in your tweets will bring you the relevant audience and exposure. This is also with those that you will be able to follow conversations known as chats.

Kdan Creative Cloud allows users to access their content on different devices and in the near future founder CEO Kenny Su says the startup, which is currently raising closing its Series A, plans to parse data from all of its apps to help people organize their content more quickly based on file formats.
"Currently our marketing position is to try to complete the whole mobile content creation experience between Adobe and Evernote. Evernote's business strategy is to help people keep everything in the cloud, but if people create something more, they don't have the tools. Adobe has always been targeted to professional users, not mobile users who are amateurs," say Su.
Two of Kdan's apps, NoteLedge and Animation Desk, have gained traction through a partnerships with Samsung and Microsoft. The apps are currently pre-installed on several of Samsung's mobile devices, including the Galaxy 3 and Galaxy tablet, in 13 Asian countries, as well as Microsoft's Lumia series in Taiwan...

This just may become the best creative tool in your mobile toolbox.
BURLINGTON, Vt. — The Winooski restaurant that was overwhelmed with online comments after it took down a bacon advertisement is moving forward, with the help of a public relations firm.
Sneakers Bistro and Cafe took down a sign that said "Yield For Sneakers Bacon" that had been in the Winooski Rotary last week in response to a complaint from a "vegan and a member of a Muslim household" who said the sign was insensitive to the city's diverse population.
Many people balked at the decision, criticizing Sneakers for what they said was an unnecessary move....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Oh puhleez! Somebody please explain this bacon backlash?
Why would you start a corporate blog? Chances are it's to communicate with your customers, build your brand, or generate sales. If your blog isn't helping you with one of those 3 things,you're wasting your time.
From the outside, it looks like I'm a successful corporate blogger because all of my blogs generate hundreds of thousands of visitors. And although that's true, it doesn't mean my blogs are successful.
Why? Because my blogs didn't always help with one of the 3 main points above. Luckily, I was able to spot what was amiss and fix it. If you want your corporate blog to thrive, learn from the mistakes I made and avoid them....
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Useful blogging basics from Neil Patel.
Video editing became popular with the use of video sharing websites like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and many more. Everybody is now interested in video editing and trying to edit and compile a video to share on these sites.

At a time when good-paying freelance assignments are harder to come by, many journalists are heeding the call of native advertising, where the pay is decent and the work is steady. But there's a cost. Many worry about the impact on their credibility as a journalist. Some are even finding they aren't so welcome back in newsrooms once they work for the business side.
In the latest in Digiday's "Confessions" series, we talked to a veteran freelance writer who has written for top women's magazines and other national publications about the dark side of native. In this case, the journalist was working for a publisher's content studio, which assigned stories a given client wanted written....

Google has gone through a lot of executive changes this year. Last month, the company's chief business officer Nikesh Arora announced he was leaving. And in February longtime ad boss Susan Wojcicki left that post to replace YouTube chief Salar Kamangar as the CEO of the Google-owned video service.
Ms. Wojcicki's appointment overshadowed another leadership shift. A year after being charged with running Google's advertising and commerce organization alongside Ms. Wojcicki, Google Senior VP-Advertising and Commerce Sridhar Ramaswamy had taken full responsibility for the division that accounted for more than 91% of the company's $55 billion in revenue last year.

Content marketing gives small and medium-sized companies a momentous opportunity to fight the status quo, leveling the playing field between big corporations and start-ups, Ma and Pa suppliers and blue-chip investments. Gone are the days where businesses were only providers of tangible products and services. Today, successful businesses compete through the lens of their content as well, and the strength of their wit, humor and insight all play major roles in how their brands are received.
Because they are naturally sources of intriguing perspectives andah-ha moments, small and mid-size businesses and start-ups are uniquely poised to participate in content marketing. To unleash that potential, it is important to embrace this emerging strategy....

Intelligent Algorithm Made Discovery That Slipped Past Art Historians For Years | The Creators Project
A recent project used nuanced imaging technology and classification systems to robotize the process of understanding how famous artists have influenced one another.
Could a computer program influence how we understand art history and the canon? Or, could an artificially intelligent algorithm do the work of art experts for them? A recent researcher project doesn't quite suggest such a reality, but it does demonstrate that machines can highlight subtleties within arts and culture that humans have previously never noticed.In a paper titled "Toward Automated Discovery Of Artistic Influence" by Babak Saleh and a team of computer science researchers at Rutgers, the academics explained how they used nuanced imaging technology and classification systems to robotize the process of understanding how famous artists have influenced and inspired one another.
For their research, the team chose 1,700 paintings by 66 artists, covering the 15th to the late 20th century. Using a technique that analyzes visual concepts called "classemes"—wherein objects, color shades, subjects' movement, and more are marked—the researchers created a list of 3,000 classemes for each painting, data which The Physics arXiv Blog compares to a vector. Then, they used an artificially intelligent algorithm to evaluate the vectors and look for similarities or overlapping qualities among the 1,700 paintings. ArXiv adds, "To create a ground truth against which to measure their results, they also collate expert opinions on which these artists have influenced the others."...

Fascinating application of technology to art and creativity. Good read. 9/10
You really need to stop using these phrases.
Some are blatantly self-inflating, some are too vague for their own good, and others just sound downright disgusting.x
We're all familiar with those wrung out, miserably overused industry terms that have been leeched of their original potency.
They're the ones repeatedly (and often inaccurately) applied to such a broad variety of subjects and situations that they've taken on undesirable connotations as a result.
And they're the words I'm now promoting replacements for in an effort to abolish their exhausting reign over modern marketing discourse....

OK so I know that there's YouTube and podcasting but most of the Internet's power is still in the written word. It is text that conveys most of the important ideas and it is accessible at almost zero cost to all of us.
...We need to start small, to take baby steps. Even the practise of keeping a paper journal is immensely powerful. We often don't know what we think until we write it down. Jotting down ideas and impressions gets us in the habit of thinking about what we think and better at expressing it. As we get more confident we can share some of our insights online.

CNN's Don Lemon Laments "Media Spectacle" At Michael Brown's Funeral (While Broadcasting From Funeral) - Daily Surge
As Their Ratings Skyrocket, CNN's Don Lemon Laments: Michael Brown Funeral Should Be More than "Media Spectacle"
Today was Michael Brown's funeral. #MikeBrownFuneral was a top trend on Twitter. Multiple media outlets live streamed the service. Al Sharpton eulogized. At least three Obama administration officials attended. The Nation of Islam covered crowd control. Countless celebrities and entertainers were in attendance, and t-shirts were sold.
One thing is clear: Trumped by the politics of self-interest and ratings-boosting media narratives, Michael Brown's death stopped being about Michael Brown almost immediately after he was pronounced dead....

"Don Lemon tweeted about taking a "break from twitter today in respect for parents & lives lost. Not choosing sides." He tweeted that with a picture of him hugging Michael Brown's mother. Hashtag: #FAIL ", writes Jerome Hudson.

...Social media, mobile, real-time, each has contributed to the digital lifestyle that everyday people, your consumers AND your employees, embrace as second nature. It's not just a Millennial or a Generation Z thing…it's everyone who uses a smartphone, a tablet, or any smart device. It's someone who takes selfiesand takes pictures and videos at every live event. It's also that person who checks Twitter and Facebook each morning before email for mentions of their name and see what they might have missed. It is for all intents and purposes, you and me.
This isn't about age; this is about a connected generation (Generation-C) and it represents a significant share of consumerism. Simply said, this category of consumers is different from the traditional customers and employees around which many organizations are modeled.
To reach them requires a different approach. To see them and the value they represent to an organization takes vision and a different philosophy. Instead however, most executives or decision-makers employ an "us vs. them" mentality. They see the world as they know it rather than seeing the world for what it is or what it's becoming.

Interesting perspective on how different Generation-C is from past generations of consumers and how business needs to change their approach to and philosophies about creating an experience they will engage with.
From recode
Eagle-eyed readers may notice a new feature here on Re/code today. It's called "Sponsor Content," and is, for us, a new form of advertising. Known broadly as "native advertising," this is a category of ad that takes the form of an article written by, or commissioned by, an advertiser. It's widely used online, but the technique actually goes back well before the Web, when print publications ran articles written by advertisers that were called "advertorials."
Some websites might try to present these ads as if they were normal posts written by their reporters, editors, or curated guest contributors. We won't be doing that. You'll notice that we clearly label them "Sponsor Content" with a blue label instead of our usual black one. We also use the company logo next to the writer's byline, and, at the bottom of each such post, include a disclosure statement saying that the article is a form of advertising, and was neither written by, nor edited by, our journalists.
That doesn't mean these pieces are bad, or unworthy of your time. It doesn't mean we are embarrassed to post them. In fact, we hope you will find them interesting. It just means we want to keep faith with you by making things clear.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
Re/code goes native... advertising that is,,, as Walt Mossberg explains, extreme transparency is the rule.

With the 28th pick in the 2011 NHL Draft obtained from the San Jose Sharks in the Devin Setoguchi trade, the Minnesota Wild select Zack Phillips, a center from the Saint John Sea Dogs of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League.
Phillips shunned the NCAA and UMass to play in the QMJHL, and after winning the QMJHL title and the Memorial Cup this past year, I'm sure he's fine with that decision. Phillips is a two-way center with good vision and a nose for the net, according to scouts that have watched him play, and it obviously doesn't hurt that he was the linemate of Jonathan Huberdeau.

The managing director of Romans Estate Agents makes some predictions for 2014
Updated 2:20pm Tuesday 7th January 2014 in Hampshire Business By Richard Garfield, Business Editor
THE managing director of Romans estate agents has made a few predictions about the property market.
Peter Coles said: "I'm not predicting a property bubble – allowing for inflation, prices in the South East are still 10-20 per cent below where they were in 2007, and because interest rates are so low the key driver, affordability, is still below the long-term average levels, from the last 30 years.
"This means that even if rates increase a little over the next few years this would not cause a problem.
"Most people are predicting that house prices will increase throughout 2014 but I anticipate that the most significant increases will be in one and two bedroom properties.
"This will be due to increased demand from first time buyers, aided by the Help to Buy schemes and Buy to Let investors.
"This is positive news for 'second-steppers,' as the demand for their properties will make it easier for them to move up the housing ladder.
"Landlords and investors will also see a great return with significant capital growth on top of already strong rental yields "The rest of the market will see increases of anything from naught to 10 per cent with well-presented properties in good locations seeing stronger increases and selling quickly.
"It's also worth noting that transaction numbers and prices at the top of the market have been impacted by the punitive increases in Stamp Duty Land Tax in recent years and I foresee this continuing.
"This is no surprise when you consider that it would cost the equivalent of over £130,000 of salary before tax to pay the Stamp Duty Land Tax bill on a £1.5m purchase price."

After spending several years in Cameron Village, Scout & Mollys boutique returns to North Hills with a grand opening celebration from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday.
Owner Lisa Kornstein says she enjoyed her time in Cameron Village, but decided it made more sense for the business to move back to its roots in North Hills.
I built my brand in North Hills, and even though Cameron Village is a fantastic shopping center, for me, this was a lesson in the old adage, The grass isnt always greener on the other side, she says. North Hills was a great place for Scout & Mollys, and the itch to try something new isnt always the best thing for a business.
The grand opening celebration will feature a Sylvia Benson jewelry trunk show, a DJ playing from 5 to 9 p.m., plus a gift with purchase.
The North Hills location will have new hours 10 a.m.-9 p.m., Monday-Saturday and noon-5 p.m. Sunday. For more information, call 919-754-8430 or visit scoutandmollys.com.
Trunk shows
From glasses to gowns, Triangle shoppers will get a look at some of the most fashionable new things for spring during several trunk shows. Heres the lowdown:
- The latest in designer specs from names like Kate Spade, Vera Wang, Lilly Pulitzer and more will be available at Eye Care Center from 1 to 6:30 p.m. Thursday. During the show, customers can save 50 percent on frames with the purchase of lenses. Eye Care Center is just outside Crabtree Valley Mall in Raleigh. For details, call 919-782-4100.
- Alexias Bridal Boutique in Raleigh will host a Little White Dress trunk show featuring short wedding dress styles from Kirribillas I Do collection, Friday and Saturday. Customers placing custom orders during the event will receive special incentives. To schedule an appointment, call 919-829-5900.
- Designer and stylist Aaron Patrick Goode will bring his bespoke collection to The Art of Style in Cameron Village for a trunk show from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday. Attendees can get fitted for custom suits during the event. The Art of Style is at 2032 Cameron St., Raleigh, 919-755-3333.

So was the past 18 months of injury-free play an aberration? Or is this much ado about nothing?
Going nowhere, or trying to pump up the selling price?
Sky did an interview with Robin. It's a good watch.
Does this act as a soothing balm for the angry burn I feel at FIFA not making RvP a finalist for World Player of the Year (Messi, Xavi, and Ronaldo are up for that--they're okay, too, I guess)? A little, sure. If he doesn't make the XI, though, I'll be pissed. Nearly a goal a game in the calendar year for a top team in what is probably the world's most competitive league? Should be a lead pipe lock, right?
From The Guardian: According to the Dutch Footballing Association, Robin's going to be out for significantly longer than first feared. Hopefully Chamakh can fill in admirably. Also, apparently Mikael Silvestre has signed on with Werder Bremen.
...but Robin van Persie just scored a brace with two, well, really really good goals as Holland beat Mexico 2-1. Good to see that the Mexican commentators give the "gol" scream for the opposition, too.

The Crowning Moments Of Stockholm Fashion Week-------
What a difference a few months make. It was only February this year that the original Lisbeth Salander, Noomi Rapace, opened Stockholm fashion week on a cold winter's morning. This time around, it was none other than Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, who kicked off the Spring '13 proceedings (as for the temperature on this summer's morning, it felt only disputably higher)—it was an unexpected, stark contrast to the past season, indeed.
The first show of the season was couture by Dior and Lanvin alumnus Fadi el Khoury. From an elegant, pristine white trouser suit with a tame peplum to intricately detailed lace gowns, these were clothes perfect for a modern princess. It wasn't until Stylein that we saw a collection word-perfect to what the Scandi-less among us think represents Scandinavian cool. Designed by Elin Nyström, these were easy separates in lemon, gray, and a small floral print, to bulk-buy and rely on. But if it's the must-watch name you're looking for, a safe bet could be placed with Altewaisaome, by designers Natalia Altewai and Randa Saome. They showed cocoon jackets, origami pleated skirts, and white wedges (all of which might be inspired by the Fall runways at Balenciaga, Proenza Schouler, and Céline), but there was more than enough here to warrant keeping tabs on them as they develop their line.

Baggage Report 2013
Overall rates down 1.78% and transfer mishandling down 9%

One area the industry is focusing on is improving baggage transfers between flights. This is traditionally a 'pinch point' in the baggage handling process and the leading cause of delay. Last year, mishandled transfer bags were down 9% from 2011.
