Computer disposal requirements are more restrictive for businesses than for households. For example, under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), computers disposed of by a household are excluded from the definition of a hazardous waste while computers disposed of by a business may be regulated as a hazardous waste. Some computers contain small amounts of toxic compounds including lead, mercury, cadmium and arsenic. Although individual computers from households may be placed in solid waste landfills, EPA requires commercial establishments disposing of computers to determine whether they qualify as hazardous waste, and if so, to have the computers sent to an approved hazardous waste disposal facility or to a recycler.
The Information Technology Services department will determine if the equipment should be redeployed, donated, sold or discarded. If any equipment is determined to have cash value, it will be sold to vendors of used equipment, non-profit agencies, non-profit institutions, or other third party vendors who may offer it for public sale. Obsolete equipment may be donated to non-profit agencies and non-profit institutions based on a written request from the agency or institution. Any monies received through these sales will go to general University funds.
In order to comply with governmental regulations, state and federal, and Baylor policies, including FERPA, HIPAA and GLB guidelines, ITS will erase all data from the computer drives to ensure that no data can be recovered. Baylor complies with the DOD (Department of Defense) specifications for erasing data on storage media prior to the disposition of computer equipment. If the hard drive cannot be erased according to the DOD specifications, the hard drive will be destroyed.

Wearing two different hats, Jonathan Speirs, IALD, has helped to define company headquarters for two firms located in vastly contrasting architectural envelopes. In refurbishing an historic building for the Hammerson Group plc, in London, England, Speirs represented Speirs + Major, the London-based lighting design firm in which he and Mark Major are the principals. While designing interior and exterior lighting for John Menzies Wholesale plc contemporary headquarters in Edinburgh, Scotland, Speirs wore the professional tam of his Edinburgh firm Jonathan Speirs & Associates. The two firms work together as The Lighting Architects Group, sharing resources as they work on projects in diverse geographical locations.
Ensconced in a prestigious London Park, the Hammerson Group of real estate developers wanted to give their firm a more contemporary flair. The building's landmark status determined many of the redesign choices, yet at the same time provided a classical backdrop for the lighting. "Our intent was to light the building in a forward-looking way," says Speirs, who took a modern stance in his choice of luminaires, lamps, and lighting positions.
The exterior of the 100-year-old building has a stone facade and glass conservatory on the first floor. The facade is softly illuminated, mostly from the inside. "By internally lighting the first floor conservatory we avoided the need to externally illuminate the structure," says Speirs. "This creates more visual interest and depth." Period lanterns mounted on railings at the front of the building were removed, refurbished, and fitted with Philips white SON lamps, which contrast with low-voltage luminaires illuminating the colonnade of the grade-A-listed building (the highest landmark status for a building in the UK).
Inside, the decision was made to avoid putting holes into the ceilings of the period rooms. Instead, walk-over dichroic low-voltage luminaires by Light Projects Ltd were recessed into the floors to highlight pilasters, arches, and the underside of a marble staircase in an atrium. The floors in the entrance hall are marble, while in other areas carpet is lined with a heat-resistant backing. "The recessed lights provide an element of indirect illumination and a very different first impression," Speirs says. Vented recess boxes allow heat to dissipate in the floor voids rather than build up on the glass covers. In contrast, there are downlights over the reception desk as the architects opted not to have lighting built into the desk itself.
One of the main "untouchable" features of the building is the central grand staircase, which sets off a pair of Sir Joshua Reynolds portraits and offers a view through a window into the atrium. Here fiber optics provided by Museum and Gallery Lighting Ltd were recessed into the ceiling with eight small lensed heads lighting each portrait. The fiber-optic illuminators, fitted with metal-halide lamps, are accessible from cupboards on the floor above. "This decision lessened damage to the detailed plaster of the ceiling and allows for easy maintenance," attests Speirs. The period chandelier hanging in the stairwell was refitted with incandescent lamps that are run at a low level to triple the lamp life. The light level for the chandelier is controlled by a Lutron Grafik Eye unit hidden in the grand staircase.
In the double-story atrium, Speirs added a custom-built skirting box to hide Light Projects low-voltage fixtures with bi-pin tungsten-halogen capsule lamps from Osram. The luminaires light the atrium's own staircase from below in an area where the landmark commission would not allow lights to be recessed into the floor. "During the day, the decorated vaulted ceiling of the atrium is lit with cold cathode uplighting that automatically and slowly fades out at dusk. This creates an 'atmospheric' ambiance that allows the space to be used for parties in the evening," he says. The lighting at ground level allows visitors to look up without getting bright lights in their eyes.
A waiting room for guests, which doubles as a model room, has been transformed with modern touches. Its classic ceiling has been lit with custom-designed, floor-standing uplights, since again the design team chose not to recess any fixtures in the ceiling. A low-voltage wire system holds framed photographs and provides 12V power to small wire arms that carry 50W MR16 lamps, one per photograph. Three-dimensional models that sit on seamless acrylic stands were lit internally, with fiber optics placed behind their facades. These are controlled by a Lutron Grafik Eye unit. The custom luminaires in the waiting room were designed by the Belgian manufacturer Moonlight.
Many of the period offices are lit with suspended direct/indirect compact fluorescent Uranus pendants manufactured by Borens in Sweden. To minimize glare on office computer screens and avoid a dark luminaire zone against the ceiling, the fixtures were adapted with perforated metal bottom plates to replace solid ones. In a meeting room, low-brightness, low-voltage Erco downlights accent tables, while Erco bi-pin low-voltage luminaires with wall-wash reflectors cover a wall with a display of art. Wall niches are internally lit with low-voltage lamps in 1/2"-square (1.3cm) strips, and sculptures are frontlit with an even wash by incandescent lamps. "The major refurbishment of the space took place with the client working in the building," says Speirs, "adding further complications to the project."
In contrast to the period splendor of Hammerson's London headquarters, the home offices for John Menzies Wholesale newsagents are strictly contemporary. The three-story Menzies building, designed by Bennetts Associates architects, is located in an Edinburgh office park master-planned by American architect Richard Meier. The building is designed in a U-shape with a glass box at the open end housing a staff restaurant, meeting rooms, and board room. "Our goal was to develop a lighting scheme that fully reinforced the architecture and would be visually appealing to the occupants," says Speirs, who also set out to meet all the relevant European lighting standards for office environments.
Speirs worked in close concert with the architect and electrical engineers Blyth & Blyth from the outset of the project. To create an integrated building, their design concept includes a lighting system built into the architecture. The system is based around a custom-designed fluorescent "raft" of continuous floating elements that nestle in specially cast concrete ceiling coffers which are painted white.
The raft concept was presented to three manufacturers who bid on the job. After two of them were asked to produce a 15' (4.6m) prototype, the Scandinavian company Glamox won the contract to manufacture the fixtures. The raft is composed of 4' (1.2m) T8 fluorescent tubes to provide both a direct lighting component as well as indirect lighting that illuminates the ceiling coffers. In between, smaller fluorescent lamps added for uplight assure that the coffers glow evenly throughout. The lighting was constructed so that office partitions could be built without altering the look of the lighting and the ceiling.
The principle of indirect illumination in the office areas was carried through into the building's atrium with its stainless steel sculpture. "You can stand anywhere in the space and look up into the volume and there is no glare from any of the sources," says Speirs, who used four recessed low-wattage metal-halide uplights by Kreon at the base of the sculpture, and low-voltage uplights on the cantilevered balconies that surround the atrium void. "The uplighting provides both key interest as well as reflected illumination," he says. Inexpensive fluorescent fixtures uplight both the louvered sections and solid areas of the roof. "This project looks simple in visual terms, but it was complicated to get to the end result."
The Hammerson and Menzies headquarters are like architectural bookends, their diverse styles separated by 100 years. But in terms of lighting solutions, they are companionable in approach with modernist choices set against backdrops from different periods. "Both required a lot of technical input and aesthetic consideration," says Speirs. His efforts were rewarded when the John Menzies project won the 1996 UK National Lighting Award for Commercial Spaces, and Hammerson garnered a commendation for the lighting designers.

Click [show] on the right to read important instructions before translating.
Abraham Arden Brill (October 12, 1874 – March 2, 1948) was an Austrian-born psychiatrist who spent almost his entire adult life in the United States. He was the first psychoanalyst to practice in the United States and the first translator of Freud into English.[1]
Brill was born in Kańczuga, Austrian Galicia. He arrived in the United States alone at the age of 15. He graduated from New York University in 1901 and obtained his M.D. from Columbia University in 1903.[2] He spent the next 4 years working at Central Islip State Hospital on Long Island.[2]
After studying with Eugen Bleuler in Zurich, Switzerland,[1] he met Freud, with whom he maintained a correspondence until Freud's death in 1939.[1] He returned to the United States in 1908 to become one of the earliest and most active exponents of psychoanalysis, being the first to translate into English most of the major works of Freud, as well as books by Jung. His first translation of Freud appeared in 1909 as "Some Papers on Hysteria.[2] He campaigned for academic recognition of his field, lectured at Columbia University, and became clinical professor of psychiatry at New York University.[1] He maintained a psychoanalytic practice as well.
In 1911 he founded the New York Psychoanalytic Society (or Institute) and later helped found the American Psychoanalytic Association.[1] The library of the New York Psychoanalytic Institute is named in his honor.[1] In 1929, following Freud's lead, as head of the New York Psychoanalytic Society, he sanctioned the introduction of lay analysts to the profession, which had previously restricted its ranks to medical professionals.[3] During the 1930s he played a key role in finding employment for psychiatric professionals exiled from Nazi Europe.[4]
Once sympathetic to homosexuals, he revised his views and wrote in 1940 that "even so-called classical inverts are not entirely free from some paranoid traits".[5]
E. L. Bernays consulted with Brill on the subject of women's smoking.[6]
He married Dr. K. Rose Owen. They had two children. He died at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York in March 2, 1948.[2]

David Foster and Andrea BocelliPosted by Jeffrey Biegel in Uncategorized
Photo: Courtesy of Brian Ach, Copyright 2007 www.BrianAch.com
On November 1st, David Foster celebrated his birthday in New York City with his friends, family, and Andrea Bocelli and his lovely family. The Ziegfeld Theater provided the setting for the Great Performances special of Andrea Bocelli in Tuscany, which David Horn produced and David Foster worked behind the scenes and on stage. His own music is featured and is unique that it blends Italian aria with Rachmaninoff -like musical imagery. David has always respected the great composers and opera, which provides him with the ability to transform these genres into his own wonderful individual style.
I met David through a fax. Through a channel of people starting with my friend, Keith Emerson, it was Keith's suggestion that I send my pop music to David somehow. It was like Glinda telling Dorothy to find the Wizard of Oz to get home. Through Atlantic Records, I found my way to David's then personal assistant, who told me to fax my 'stuff' to their office. At the time, my web site featured my 1997 audio/video recital online. A few days passed, and my answering machine had this unbelievable message which David left, something like, "Hey man, if that's you playing, call me". I did, and several months went by and I visited David in Malibu and played my music for him, he coached me, and listened to me play Chopin's 'Ballade no. 1′. I have tremendous respect for David as a pop music composer, arranger, producer and in general, he is perhaps 'the' most generous man on the planet. He gives his time to as many people as he can humanly do, and has a foundation that raises millions of dollars to help families with children needing organ transplants.
David decided to throw himself a birthday bash in NYC just after the Ziegfeld show, to celebrate his birthday and to celebrate the collaboration with the great tenor, Andrea Bocelli. To listen to Mr. Bocelli in the concert-documentary, reveals his great gifts. He has an enormous range, in register and sound. He builds songs like architectural creations, taking you from the start and leaving you in a wonderful place each time. My wife and I met with him and he is warm, and kind. His aura is stellar, and you feel like you are with someone who cares about everything and everyone he comes in contact with. David's girlfriend, Yolanda, joined David for the celebration. She is elegant, charming, and reveres David in a warm and beautiful way.
To celebrate David's birthday, he asked some his friends to perform (on the spot!), which was spontaneous, and brought out the best performances we could offer. I chose Chopin's best known 'Polonaise in A-flat Major', perhaps the safest piece for me to play considering David invited the top record executives on the planet who were sitting 10 feet away! They are the best in the biz and were as approachable as anyone I could imagine. The great songwriter, Neil Sedaka, sang and played a delicious medley of the songs we grew up on. Neil was also a pupil of Adele Marcus at The Juilliard School in the 1950s, and I also studied with the great Adele Marcus from 1979-85. We share a special connection, and we talked about Ms. Marcus during the party. There were other marvelous performers, and then David accompanied Andrea which was a magical event. To be within 25 feet of this voice is a special experience indeed. Happy Birthday, David Foster!

WR Randy Moss, currently an unrestricted free agent, will retire, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Monday.
"After weighing his options and contemplating offers, he's decided to retire," Moss' agent, Joel Segal, told Schefter.
Moss, 34, caught 954 passes for 14,858 yards and 153 touchdowns in 13 NFL seasons. He played for New England, Minnesota and Tennessee in 2010, catching 28 passes for 393 yards and five TDs.
Moss' legacy is complex. His athletic gifts were rare, but he was also an exceptional student of the game. His career began with a bang in Minnesota but looked to be on the wane after two disappointing seasons in Oakland from 2005-06. Then, in a remarkable turnaround, he again emerged as one of the game's most dynamic talents in New England.
Moss' exits from his various clubs are also part of his story. The Vikings dealt him in '05 for a first-round pick and released him last season after a disappointing second stint, one that lasted all of four games and was marked by controversy, including a memorable final game at New England in which he lauded Patriots head coach Bill Belichick in the post-game press conference. The Patriots, in a stunning move, had traded Moss to Minnesota earlier in October.
The Titans claimed him off waivers, hoping to spark a passing game that had lost WR Kenny Britt to a hamstring injury, but Moss was a nonfactor in his time in Tennessee.
Nevertheless, Moss ranks as one of the top wide receivers of his generation.
Selected in the first round by the Vikings in 1998 after unexpectedly sliding to the bottom half of Round One on Draft Day, Moss immediately proved a dynamic playmaker, catching a pair of TDs in his debut vs. Tampa Bay and scoring 17 TDs in a stellar rookie season, one that saw Minnesota break the single-season record for points scored — a mark later broken by the '07 Patriots, for whom Moss also starred. (He led both teams in TDs in those seasons.)
Twice more he would catch at least that many TD passes, hauling in 111 passes for 1,632 yards and 17 scores in '03 for Minnesota and 98 passes for 1,493 yards and an incredible 23 scores for the Patriots, who rolled through the regular season and AFC playoffs without a loss in '07 before being upset by the Giants in the Super Bowl.
If Moss indeed reaches the Hall of Fame, his stint with the Patriots may well have pushed his candidacy over the top. He hauled in 50 TDs in a little more than three seasons with New England. His acquisition also bolstered the already lofty reputation of Belichick. New England surrendered but a fourth-round pick for Moss in '07 and later received a third-round pick from Minnesota for Moss last year.
Moss' briliance helped enhance careers of several quarterbacks. Randall Cunningham threw a career-best 34 TDs in 1998, Moss' first season. Vikings QB Daunte Culpepper became a star during Moss' time with the Vikings. Patriots QB Tom Brady had three Super Bowl titles to his credit before playing with Moss, but in his first season with the gifted wideout, he threw an NFL-record 50 TD passes.
If Moss is permanently retired, the Pro Football Hall of Fame can first officially consider his candidacy in voting on the Class of 2016.

Be nice if you hate it haha -- just copied and pasted from SLC dunk
*******Utah - Indy - LAC********
Utah gets -- Granger Bledsoe Odom
Indy gets -- Millsap Caron Butler and Earl Watson
LAC gets -- Al Jefferson DJ Augustine and Raja Bell
Every team stays under the cap -- Utah gets two needs in a dynamic PG and an athletic wing who could be the star the team needs and a vet big in Odom
Indy gets deeper in Giving up Granger who they are doing just fine without. They get an ok backup pg back in Watson (this might be the deal breaker for them). But they get Millsap who has proven he can play 3 or backup D West at 4. They get deeper at the wing with vet Butler.
LAC gets Big Al, this makes them scary on offense. They actually have two bigs that can score. He would be a great compliment to DeAndre. They get Augustine as their backup PG and Raja Bell who they waive or amnesty. This frees up time for Barnes and Hill at the wing.
I wonder if Indy would be hesitant to give Augustine, if that's the case would the Clips be ok not getting a pg back? Or would they take Watson? Doubt it. This trade needs to happen!!!!!!!!

We decided to take some time and sit down to plan out and book our excursions. We are so glad we booked them first thing as we had no wait and we were able to book what we wanted, as there was plenty of room.
Very impressed with the Main Promenade on Deck 5. We spent a lot of time here.
Great entertainment. Fabulous cruise director - Joff Eaton!
Great fitness center. We used it almost daily! Loved having the option of the track of Deck 12, when it wasn't too windy!
This ship catered to families, so as a trip for just my husband and I, it was a little annoying at times. The pool area was usually pretty loud and full of kids at times. Highly recommended for those with families, but I would choose a different ship of RC if you want less kids around. My children would have loved it.
Wished they had an outdoor movie screen, as our first cruise did with Princess. I think I heard that it may be in the works. We weren't the biggest fans of the 2 days at sea. When you're at sea, we found that we had to go out after breakfast to secure a couple of lounge chairs.
They have a 2-in-1 shampoo dispenser in the bathrooms, but my hair does not do well with that, so for the first few days I had to deal with not so great hair. Once I bought some conditioner in San Juan...a world of difference.
Great experience in so many ways.

National Volunteer Week, which is sponsored by Points of Light Institute, was designated by executive order by President Richard Nixon in 1974. This week is about inspiring, recognizing and encouraging people to seek ways to engage in their community. It's about meeting our challenges not as isolated individuals, but as members of a community, with all of us working together.
This year's theme "Celebrate Service," captures the meaning of this signature week: honoring the people who dedicate themselves to taking action and serving in their communities.
l would like to thank all of our volunteers for doing just that, making a difference by serving the Walker Area Community Foundation and the Bankhead House and Heritage Center. Without their dedication the work of YOUR Community Foundation Would not be possible!
As we approach the two year anniversary of the storms that devastated our community, I would also like to extend our endless appreciation to all of the faith-based volunteers who continue to work and rebuild homes and lives during the ongoing recovery of our community!

Pastor in same-sex parent dispute remains jailedBy WILSON RING
The Associated Press | January 31,2013MONTPELIER — A Virginia pastor who interfered with a custody dispute involving a lesbian couple in Vermont will remain jailed for refusing to testify before a federal grand jury.
Forty-seven-year-old Kenneth Miller was convicted last summer of helping Lisa Miller and her daughter leave the country in September 2009 to avoid sharing custody with her former partner. Prosecutors are trying to compel the pastor to testify against someone else involved in the flight, but Miller said his fundamentalist Christian faith prevents him from doing so.
Miller, of Stuarts Draft, Va., was jailed a week ago after refusing a judge's order that he testify before a grand jury. At a hearing Thursday said he hasn't changed his mind.

Pool Primary's Febru-hairy event helps hospice
10:20am Thursday 1st March 2012 in Features
Children at a Wharfedale school have been really letting their hair down for a good cause.
Pool Primary joined other schools across Leeds to take part in the hirsute delights of Febru-hairy, a fundraising campaign for Sue Ryder Wheatfields Hospice.
Pupils paid a pound each to come in to school last Friday sporting all kinds of crazy hair styles, wigs and costumes.
The Wacky Hair Day raised £190 for the Headingley based hospice, which provides care for people from across Leeds and beyond who have life-limiting illnesses.

Google hates a slow website, and it loves fast ones.This is going to continue because more and more people now browse their content on mobile devices, where you typically have slower connection speeds.Are you monitoring the performance of your web pages? Do you do anything to optimize your images? Because this is going to make up a significant portion of the download time for your website.On our blog, we typically include a lot of images and this can increase the page download time.

Jeff Domansky's insight:
Looking for some Image Optimization techniques for images on your blog? Ian Clearly shows how to improve performance of your website.
...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.
Jeff Domansky's insight:
It's not about demographics, it's about Connectivity says Brian Solis.
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.

About a year ago, I started to rethink my views regarding the role and value of third-party content in the marketing efforts of B2B companies. I had always believed that most of the marketing content used by a company should be developed internally or with the help of outside professional content developers. In either case, the "authorship" of the content is attributed to the company or to a company executive or internal subject matter expert. With third-party content, an external person or firm creates the content and is identified as the author.
My preference for "vendor-branded" content was based on the idea that a primary objective of content marketing is to communicate your company's expertise to potential buyers and thus cause those buyers to view your company as a trusted resource for valuable insights and as a capable business partner. Logically, branded content seemed to be the most direct way to accomplish this objective.
Because of three recent research studies, I now have a different view on this issue....

This is a tale of memory, truth, technology, and, well, the future of humanity—but it starts in high school.
If you went to high school in America, there is a pretty good chance you learned to write essays using the dreaded five paragraph method. For those who don't remember, the structure is this: Introductory paragraph (wherein you lay out your thesis), followed by three supporting graphs (each one making a different yet complimentary supporting argument), finished with a conclusion (essentially your introduction restated and a final conclusion drawn).
What I want to point out here is the amount of data being offered up. While it's called a five paragraph essay, the argument itself hinges on three main data points. Three core ideas. Because of this, the five paragraph essay is also known as the "hamburger essay" or "one, three, one," or, occasionally, a "three-tier essay."...

We generally associate 3D printers with things made out of plastic (even though they can make everything from houses to cars), but this 3D printer, called Candy, makes sweets. Not just sweets either, but pretty much anything your sweet tooth desires, including cookies, icing for the top of cakes, and custom designed chocolates, too.
Candy takes 3D printing out of the workshop, and puts it in your kitchen right alongside your Nespresso machine. The latest in a string of 3D printers to hit crowd funding website Kickstarter, it's described as the first affordable, food-specific model to hit the market. How affordable? It's $500 if you get in on the limited early bird offer, or $600 if you miss out.
Designed in a non-threatening way, so it won't look too out of place on your kitchen worktop, Candy has also been engineered to be very easy to live with and use. The body is made from fiberglass, making it light, and all the important components can be removed and cleaned as needed.
To use it, pour your choice of sugary goodness into the dispenser, load a recipe, and let the printer get to work. A regular 3D design of relative complexity, such as the Digital Trends image you see here, takes between five and 10 minutes to produce, but some can take even less....

After years of trying, I became an "overnight success." See the contradiction here?
"It's expensive to be poor." I heard the last words of my interview with CNN's Don Lemon as if someone else were speaking them. July 9, 2014 was my 32nd birthday. I was supposed to be out with friends, having secured the rare babysitter for my twins. Instead, I was on national television.It wasn't right; it wasn't me. I was the mommy blogger, scraping by, who sometimes did funny things that garnered a few thousand hits to my blog or Facebook page. But the calls kept coming: NPR, Al Jazeera, CNN again, Sirius XM, UpWorthy, TIME Magazine. Now I had television and literary agents calling me. People were thinking this thing was worth money.
When my essay about driving to a food bank in my husband's Mercedes went viral, people immediately started heralding me as an "overnight success." It was true in its way. The success itself was overnight. What people don't realize though is that the luck of going viral was based on a mountain of hard work, on years of effort. There's a frustrating truth to success in the Internet age: in order for your work to reach an audience, someone with power has to give it a chance, and in order for someone in power to give it a chance, it has to have an audience....

...We love Twitter for rapid interaction, ease of use and because it's an online gateway to hordes of potential followers (and website visitors). Followers mean popularity, which in turn means trust, which then in turn could lead to customers and brand recognition. There are numerous ways to tap into this glowing hub of activity, watch Eric Kuhn's video for some insider tips.
As Twitter is such a fast flowing social network, doing simple things can often bring you great results very quickly. For example, running a competition is going to get you noticed faster than following someone in the hope they will follow you back because a competition gives Twitter users something that they want.

After Facebook and Instagram, 18-25 year-old consumers spend the most time on Snapchat - and social media marketers should take notice if they want to keep up with younger buyers.
It would be a mistake to dismiss social media channels like Snapchat as a fad or niche network. The platform is the third most popular social network among young adults, according to ComScore research. If social media marketing is all about reaching audiences where they're active and delivering content there, it might be time for brands to lay off the skepticism, pick up a smartphone and snap some pictures.
Facebook is still at the top of the heap, with 75.6 percent of 18- to 24-year-olds counted as active users. In second place is Instagram, with 43.1 percent penetration. Snapchat isn't far behind with 32.9 percent of the demographic, and it beats out Twitter (23.8 percent) and Pinterest (17.8 percent). In total, Snapchat has been used by over 50 percent of 18-24-year-olds, compared to only 20 percent of 25-34 year-olds and 8 percent of people over the age of 35....

An interesting whodunit.
Though the Internet of Things era has only just started, it may already be broken.
Like generals fighting the last war instead of the next one, many companies working to build the Internet of Things seem to be stuck in the smartphone and tablet era, embracing approaches that will soon be obsolete, if they aren't already.
Today, smartphones are powerful hubs surrounded by less intelligent objects. Each device is managed and operated from a few centralized data centers. This is not yet a major issue as devices currently last only a year or two before being decommissioned. The cost of managing data centers is limited in duration and underwritten by a constant flood of replacement devices with short lives.
Not so in the Internet of Things era: an LED lightbulb has an expected life of 20+ years; aircraft are expected to remain in service for decades; the average car on the road in the US is now more than a decade old.
Applying a centralized cloud-based business model to these devices will mean decades of expense without decades of associated revenue. At IBM we already see clients that are struggling with device-related services that have failed to meet revenue targets, but cannot be switched off for fear of angering an installed base....

And it's all new money for the Times, about $149.1 million last year, a palpable performance in a short period of time. Put it another way, in a little over two-and-a-half years, the paywall went from $0 to $150 million.
But a slowdown in digital subscribers means it'll be that much harder for the Times to make up for its losses elsewhere, specifically in advertising, once the life-blood of the business. The company lost close to $90 million in ad revenue — print and online together — from 2011 through last year, and it has been on a downward track ever since.
Online revenue alone would not sustain the New York Times as it exists today. If the Times were to become a digital-only newsroom, it'd be a $312 million business, including the $162.9 million in online ads it generated last year. But that's only 20 percent of its current sales. In other words, a digital-only Times could just support a fifth of its current newsroom, or around 200 journalists....

These days, content marketing teams are expected to create content in all shapes and sizes. Following the advice of content marketing sages, we're posting tweets every few hours, blogging every day, podcasting every week, publishing an eBook every month… and the list goes on. Trying to keep up with the seemingly insatiable demand, content teams often feel overwhelmed and stretched too thin. Even worse, all this frenetic activity often lacks an underlying strategy or focus.
But it doesn't have to be this way. Back in 2010, I proposed the Content Marketing Pyramid — a strategy that allows you to get more out the door with the same effort. It's done by combining infrequent, time-intensive content with low-effort, recurring content....

Simple and effective steps for good a good content production routine.
Slideshare, a platform owned by LinkedIn for sharing presentations, documents, infographics and other files, is now completely free to use.
As TechCrunch notes, the optional Pro tiers that existed before have been stripped out and premium features, including analytics, profile customization and private uploads, are being opened up to all users.
New and existing "free" users won't receive all these goodies straight away, however. SlideShare will be rolling out one new feature every month, starting in September.

The Williston airport has continued to see a significant increase in passengers. Theairport has experienced a 29 percent passenger increase from 2013. As a result,airlines have added more incoming and outgoing flights. As the local air trafficcontinues to grow, employees at the are working hard to keep up.
Airport manager Steven Kjergaardsays the increase of travelers is very noticeable. He employed new staff members to keep up with the changes.
"We just continue to adjust.TSA has continued to add staff, I've added staff, both of the airlines haveadded staff. We've made it work with what we have," says Kjergaard.
Another change is travelers now haveto pay for parking at Sloulin. This was implemented to keep people from takingadvantage of the parking spaces in the lot and to generate funds for a futureairport renovation or expansion. The price has been set at $7.
"I would like to be able tohave people park for free, but realistically, people will take advantage ofthat. So, this isa fair compromise. We still match what Dickinsondoes per day. We are the last commercial service airport in North Dakota with more than athousand boarding's per month to switch to pay parking," says Kjergaard.
Staff members are also taking stepsto make the airport parking lot a safer environment.
"We are going to install extracamera systems this summer. That's going to be the biggest thing. My staff isalso increasing their patrols through, as well as the parking company doingextra patrols and lot checks," says Kjergaard.
Kjergaard advised travelers not toleave their cars unlocked, keys in the car or any valuables in sight because it leads to parking crimes.
The top destinations for North Dakota travelers are Las Vegas, Phoenix, Denver and Orlando.

SB Nation's Broncos community, Mile High Report, is taking a look at Jason Elam after it was announced on Tuesday that he would be signing a one-day contract with the Broncos in anticipation of his retirement press conference on Wednesday.
Elam retires with 1,983 points, and ranks fifth in made field goals (436) and fourth in made PATs (675). One of the truly great Broncos, Jason Elam should one day see his name on the Ring of Fame.
Of late, Elam has become quite the author as well, writing a series of books about a football player that also fights terrorism. His next offering is due out this fall.
Ah, yes, Monday Night Jihad, Elam's terrorism book. Fortunately, he's had a heck of a career so he won't be remembered for that.
Elam will be eligible for the Broncos Ring of Fame in 2015 -- five years after his retirement.

For many people tattoos are a way of expressing themselves. But sometimes as people change, things change, and even tattoos begin to change.
What may have seemed like a good idea at the time, when you were younger, may be something you later regret.
Shalia Paredes for example got some last minute friendship tattoos on her fingers. And it didn't take her long to want to get them removed. "I work a lot with my hands, so I just don't like seeing them all the time," said. Shalia Paredes.
People like Shalia keep Dr. Will Kirby very busy.
"People get a tattoo, it doesn't represent who they are now, and they want to remove that memory," said Dr. Kirby. "A tattoo that was once bright over the course of 10-20 years will slowly fade or change."
Brooke Bennett is another example of someone who wants to fix her mistakes of youth. Now a teacher and a mom, Brooke wants to portray a different image.
"If they were in spots where I could hide them, I probably wouldn't go through in getting them removed, but they are in areas that are so visible, if I wear shorts, you see it., if I wear a tank top, you see it," said. Brooke Bennett.
Removing tattoos can be painful and take a number of treatments, based on the location, amount of ink, color of ink and even the age of the tattoo.
"Easiest color to remove is black. The second easiest is red and that's very fortunate because most tattoos are black or red. Some colors are nearly impossible to remove, and that's yellow or some shades of green," said Dr. Kirby.
And of course going through the process will cost you plenty of money.
"It costs ten times more to remove the tattoo, then it costs to put a tattoo on. If it cost you a hundred dollars to get a tattoo, it's going to cost you about a thousand dollars to remove it," said Dr. Kirby. Ultimately it depends on where the tattoo is located.
"The easiest tattoo to remove is black ink on a fair complected individual and that's usually on the upper half of the body," said Dr. Kirby. Brooke's ankle tattoo is going to take more work to remove than her shoulder tattoo.
While for some tattoos are lifelong works of art, and there are no regrets, for others they can be reminders of mistakes made when they were younger.
"Think about what you get, before you get it," said Paredes.

Thursday brings another late-season active learning session for some of the Panthers' young, this time in Tampa. These classes, taught by Panthers coach Peter Horachek, assisted by the Panthers veterans with visiting professors wearing the opposing jerseys, fill the March schedules of the NHL underclass.
In addition to the college age core on the Panthers roster all season, players such as 22-year-old center Brandon Pirri and 20-year-old center Vincent Trocheck get ice time for learning.
Pirri, acquired March 2 for two draft picks from Chicago, scored the Panthers' lone goal in Tuesday's 3-1 loss to Phoenix. The ice times for Trocheck, a third round 2011 draft pick of the Panthers, in the past three games, his first three in the NHL: 17 minutes 35 seconds, 22:27 and 20:03. That's significant for any forward, much less one in his first three NHL games.
"These young guys are getting as much experience as they can," Horachek said. "They're playing against high-end players, the best players on the other team. They're getting special-teams time and they have to make the most of it.
"What I'm trying to get them to do is be accountable on both sides," he continued. "I know they have some good hands and have some skill. But you can't win the game just by playing offense. The best offensive players compete on both sides of the puck. We are planning on winning. If they are part of that future, they're going to be accountable on both sides of the puck. They can create offense. They have to be good in our end, good coming back into our zone. Good coming out of our zone and on the attacking side."
Two of Pirri's first three games for the Panthers came against Boston, the template team for this era: big and physical, with defense first, second and third.
Boston won the Stanley Cup in 2011. Los Angeles, a similar team with better forechecking, won it in 2012. Boston came 1:16 from a Game 7 in the 2013 Stanley Cup Finals when Chicago usurped the game with a pair of goals.
"Playing Boston twice in a few nights is a tough start for a young player," Horachek said. "They're big and they're physical. They're very good in their system, they're very accountable to each other, they're very patient and they play hard. They play defense first and they have offensive guys who can score goals. That's why they're one of the best teams in the East. That was a good lesson for him, too, so he can see what a good team looks like."
• Horachek said Sean Bergenheim, who left Tuesday's loss to Phoenix with a lower-body injury, won't go on injured reserve but won't make the trip to Tampa with the Panthers.
• The Panthers sent defenseman Mike Mottau down to San Antonio and recalled defenseman Alex Petrovic and forward Quinton Howden.

Worst Marketing on the planet. Hands down.

Buffett's Solar Play Signals Green Light for Investors (Update 1)
Story updated to reflect analyst ratings and 2012 estimates in seventh paragraph.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) - Warren Buffett-owned MidAmerican Energy is making a big bet on the solar industry by buying a $2 billion project called Topaz from First Solar (FSLR), signaling that the legendary investor is becoming increasingly green minded and bullish on the sector.
Other solar energy stocks are benefiting from the news. Shares of SunPower (SPWRA), Suntech (STP) and Canadian Solar (CSIQ), among other global solar players saw shares rise sharply, as the deal shows support for a sector that has suffered from a wave of bankruptcies like government-supported Solyndra and Evergreen Solar, a former Nasdaq member, among others.
|Warren Buffett
The project, one of the largest photovoltaic solar energy developments in the world, will be integrated into Berkshire Hathaway's (BRK.A) MidAmerican energy business, according to a release announcing the deal that didn't indicate a purchase price. For Buffett's mix of businesses, which began with an insurance focus, the move isn't so surprising."It's a twenty five year annuity, perfect for an insurance company," says Aaron Chew a solar analyst at the Maxim Group about the Topaz project that MidAmerican is buying, regardless of whether Buffett was personally involved in the investment decision. That's because MidAmerican can expect a steady stream of income from solar panels and distribution contracts, which have multi-decade lives and require little maintenance. MidAmerican is buying a $2 billion thin-film photovoltaic solar energy development, which currently has a 25-year power contract with Pacific Gas and Electric, one of California's largest energy providers. The energy distribution contract, which will help Californians meet a mandate to receive a third of their energy from renewable sources by 2020, was signed prior to a collapse in energy prices and will give MidAmerican solar returns above current market prices, according to Chew of Maxim Group. "Whatever way you look at this, it is a positive for First Solar," adds Chew. First Solar shares rallied nearly 11% in early trading, but gains eased in afternoon trading to 7%, or $49.35 a share. The rally is stemming an over 60% plummet in its stock price year-to-date. First Solar, the largest U.S. solar company and other members of the 17-member Bloomberg Industry Global Leaders Large Solar Energy Index have been hit by a fall in solar panel prices and uncertainty over government loan guarantees for plant development. On news of MidAmerican's investment, none of the 44 analysts polled by Bloomberg changed their ratings or price targets on First Solar. Currently, analysts expect that First Solar will earn $7.44 a share on revenue of just over $4 billion in 2012, warranting a $63 a share value, according to Bloomberg data. It also shows that the company gets a "Buy" rating from 17 analysts, while 27 recommend either a "Hold" or "Sell." MidAmerican's buy comes at an opportune time for both First Solar as a seller and for Berkshire as an investor. After failing to get a $1.9 billion loan guarantee from the U.S. government to develop Topaz in September, First Solar shares were halved to prices as low as $40 a share, the lowest for the company since just after its 2006 initial public offering. Investor's biggest short-term fear was that the company would have trouble funding the Topaz project, which is expected to generate 550-megawatts of solar energy and broke ground in November. In late-September, the Department of Energy approved nearly $6 billion in loan guarantees to projects run by SunPower, SolarReserve and Sempra Energy (SRE). According to its Web site, the DOE has provided $40 billion in loan guarantees to support over 40 clean energy projects across the U.S. First Solar is also developing the Desert Sunlight and Agua Caliente solar projects, even as the outlook for the solar industry darkens. The company will continue to build Topaz for MidAmerican and provide maintenance for the plant once completed, according to a press release. When Topaz is complete in early 2015, it will displace 377,000 metric tons of carbon emissions, or the equivalent of 73,000 vehicles, said First Solar in a press release -- and will provide energy to 160,000 California homes. Because of uncertainty over the costs to build Topaz, First Solar management said it was in "advanced talks regarding the sale and financing" after failing to get government loan guarantees for its development. That buyer turned out to be Berkshire -owned MidAmerican Energy. Calling the move a classic Buffett strategy, David A. Rolfe chief investment officer of Wedgewood Partners, a Berkshire investor, said of the deal that MidAmerican is, "swoop[ing] in to buy "distressed assets" when few others can afford them." For MidAmerican, the move into solar energy isn't so surprising. Currently MidAmerican, natural gas and electricity powerhouse, is the largest wind energy provider in the U.S. with a dozen wind farms that generate over 1.5 gigawatts of power, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance estimates. The energy unit of Berkshire, which generates over $11 billion in annual revenue, is looking at alternative energy as a way to bolster revenue and profits, which are below 2007 levels. "Adding solar energy to our generation portfolio is a strategic move to invest in yet another renewable energy source," said Greg Abel, Chief Executive of MidAmerican in a statement. In the Solyndra bankruptcy, the taxpayers are expected to recoup little of its $535 million loan, causing Congress to question the viability of President Barack Obama's strategy to finance the development of alternative energy sources and jobs through federal government investment programs. "This project also demonstrates that solar energy is a commercially viable technology without the support of governmental loan guarantees and reflects the type of solar and other renewable generation that MidAmerican will continue to seek to add to its unregulated portfolio," said MidAmerican's Abel of the deal. "MidAmerican's investment institutionalizes the idea of buying solar as an investment," said Chew of the Maxim Group. For Buffett, who has also seen giant investment returns from a $231 million investment in Chinese battery company BYD in 2008, the Topaz project may be similar to other Buffett deals like preferred share investments in Goldman Sachs (GS) and General Electric (GE) during the financial crisis because he may be locking in above market returns, according to Chew. -- Written by Antoine Gara in New York

Redskins head coach Mike Shanahan said Sunday he does not know for certain if QB Donovan McNabb will be ready for the Redskins' opener against the Cowboys.
McNabb sat out Friday's preseason game against the Jets and watched Sunday's practice. He injured his left ankle against the Ravens in his second preseason game.
"I really don't know for sure," Shanahan said. "That's why it's day-to-day. We'll see how it goes."
Backup QB Rex Grossman also will sit out the Redskins' final preseason game against the Cardinals as a precaution, leaving John Beck and Richard Bartel at the helm.

Staff Writer
Captain Fatty's Tinting and Graphics is a family owned and operated Wilmington business that has been serving the area with the highest quality professional window tinting, vehicle graphic installation and other great vehicle upgrades since their opening in 2009.
Owner Steve Crowe is one of the area's top tint installation experts. Wilmington vehicles have been lining up at his shop for years to get the best quality films applied to the most meticulous standards in the business. Automotive window tinting has a variety of functional benefits outside of adding a stylish and sleek look to your vehicle.
Capt. Fatty's has quite a selection of options when it comes to window tinting and can always set you up with the perfect tint for your situation. If you tend to leave your car or truck sitting in the sun all day you should consider tinting your windows to prevent UV damage to your upholstery.

Fatty's uses all non metalized tint films which won't interfere with the signal from any of your electronic devices. Captain Fatty's knows that your vehicle is a huge investment which is why they continually try to bring you the best ways to extend the life of your vehicle. Their newest service offered is the Plasti Dip treatment that strengthens and extends the life of the vehicle surfaces which take the most abuse. This new technology is a rubber coating that can be applied to any vehicle surface including rims, grills, truck beds and even an entire car to give it a fresh new look or feel.

Captain Fatty's is the place to go when you want professionally installed graphics or wraps on your vehicle. Whether you are trying to turn you vehicle into a moving billboard for your business, trying to add a unique design that sets you apart from the others on the road or simply want to add a protective layer that will extend the life of your vehicles paint job Captain Fatty's has you covered. Captain Fatty's uses 3M Scotchprint high performance vinyl for their wraps which lasts longer protects better and can even be removed later without any damage to the vehicles original paint job.

When you want to upgrade to a brighter light that provides even more visibility at night Captain Fatty's has you covered. "Captain Fatty's was founded by Steve and Melissa Crowe after discovering the usefulness of automotive window film. We quickly moved to residential tinting after discovering the practicality and savings window film can offer. In fact, after tinting the windows in our own (older) home, we reaped the benefits of a 25% reduction in our heating and cooling costs! This is not to say that every home will see that kind of savings but we would not sell the product if we did not believe in it and use it ourselves. After a customer approached us to do vinyl graphics, we decided that graphics would be a great avenue to expand into next. Graphics are such a fun way to personalize any vehicle. Vehicle lettering and magnetic signs are a great, economical way to advertise your business. Since then, we have added custom apparel and automotive accessories to our product line and we intend to continue expanding to meet the growing needs of our customers.
We love the fact that we can offer a one-stop shopping experience for the new business in town from vehicle lettering and tinting to office tinting, window lettering, shirts, signs, and banners. We offer free estimates and personal service so stop by today!"

Britain's Got Talent star Julian Smith returns to the Artrix
5:50pm Friday 23rd November 2012 in News
BRITAIN'S Got Talent star Julian Smith makes a welcome return to the Artrix for a December concert with a hint of Christmas.
Frustrated without any further real success in the music industry after a period of six years, the soprano saxophonist entered the contest in 2009.
He achieved second runner up placement with nearly 700,000 public telephone votes and millions of YouTube hits on the internet.
Since the show Sony have released the album Chilled 2 the sax under Julian's other stage name Joolz Gianni.
A very special moment on the show for Julian was when the producers arranged for him to play with his idol Kenny G at the Royal Albert Hall, where Kenny G actually presented Julian with his own signature model saxophone as a good luck gift.
Since then Julian has toured many arenas and theatres, recorded with many Classical Stars including Julian Lloyd Webber and Paul Potts on the Classical Relief for Haiti Charity Single The Prayer.
He has performed for Prince Charles at Clarence House and was even invited to play for the Prime Minister, and has attended many other prestigious charity events.
Julian's musical style could be described as easy listening "Crossover Classical/Pop/Smooth Jazz" as another big influence for his musical style is the vocal group Il Divo.
He will be at the Artrix December 7 from 8pm.
